Chapter 640: Arduous Tasks and Observations
The next day, three o'clock!
The genius was faintly bright, and a large number of people who had begun to migrate and flee had already begun to move out of the city to the south gate under the urging and command of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons.
Xiao Sha and his party, who had recuperated for a night, also walked out of the inn that was almost empty in good spirits, Dong Tianle, whose injuries had improved a lot, were in good spirits, Feng Ling and Chu Wenxin were still the same, and Lan Yue and Lin Ling of the Ancient Tomb Sect were like two jade girls who led a group of masters behind a few people.
The few servants who were ordered by Huang Zhoumu to come to answer and wait were already waiting impatiently in the inn, compared to Xiao Sha and his party, who were strong in martial arts and were not in a hurry, these worried guys had almost not slept all night, and even their eyes were a little dark, so they couldn't leave here early.
It's not just them, few people can sleep at this life-and-death juncture!
Under their guidance, the group joined the crowd heading to the South Gate!
At this time, the official road to the south of the city of Dianzhou was crowded with people, and the noise and noise were very loud, and many people still lit torches in their hands to light the road, and the crowded crowd was like a long dragon that could not see the edge at a glance.
In the streets and alleys on both sides, a large number of soldiers and civilians who volunteered to stay behind to resist the enemy were deploying all kinds of traps, and what kind of horse rejection stakes, animal traps, sharp broken nails, and anything that could kill them were all over the place in the alleys where there were no more people.
And there are many people who have been prepared to fight with the demon army in case of an attack, most of them are armed with homemade machetes, bamboo guns and other things, regardless of whether they can martial arts or not, they show more or less absolute courage, after all, if it is a war in the human kingdom, you can surrender and save your life, but the demons never leave a mouth.
In the procession, every few hundred zhang, there are accompanying soldiers carrying large flags to guide the direction, and through the brighter and brighter sky and the light of the torches around them, you can see that the flag is embroidered with a fire phoenix that is wanton and arrogant in the fire.
This is the sacred beast of the protector of the country worshiped by the Yue country, and it is the only founding god recognized by the imperial court in the land of the Yue country for thousands of years.
Looking at this banner, Xiao Sha's face was strange, and he couldn't help but think that if Feng Ling recovered and used the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Technique to be seen by the people of this Yue Kingdom, would they think that it was the reincarnation of the phoenix or something, but this thought only stopped at them, until now, even Lan Yue, Lin Ling, and others, who were also martial artists of the Divine Land, did not know Feng Ling's identity.
Since you have agreed to take on the task of escorting, it is naturally not suitable to hide in the crowd!
The group went out of the city under the guidance of a few servants and met the two captains and generals who were escorted this time, but after seeing these two people, as well as the soldiers and horses who accompanied the escort of the people outside the city, Xiao Sha and the others did not look very good, Dong Tianle couldn't help but say in a deep voice to the two young captains who only had the middle stage of refining body (open pulse) and the peak of refining body: "Only these people? ”
"I'm sorry, but we have to leave more soldiers and horses in the city to fend off the demon army, and this time we only have the strength of our two colonels," one of the junior colonels replied, and the other didn't speak but seemed a little accustomed to it.
Xiao Sha was silent, at this time, the number of officers and soldiers lined up on both sides of the city gate did not seem to be much, but the number of two thousand, this number was barely enough to manage a city with a population of more than 400,000 in the Taiping period, but if there was an attack on the way, it would not be able to fight at all, and even if the people collapsed, even the command was weak.
And from the strength of the troops and the attitude of the two colonels, it can be seen that such a situation is not once or twice, so it can be predicted that even the imperial court may be powerless at this time.
The two colonels gave them a brief introduction and went over to take command, except for giving them some dry rations in the army and more than 20 ordinary horses, there was nothing more to do, and it was not easy to command and control 400,000 people with 2,000 people, and they were at a loss now.
Xiao Sha looked back at the city wall of Dianzhou, but saw that many soldiers with halberds on the city wall were saying goodbye to their relatives below, and there was also a cry at the gate of the city below, and the whole atmosphere was full of the smell of farewell.
He felt a heavy heart, but he also felt a kind of pride, both moved by the courage of these soldiers who were also human races to die, and felt sorry for them, but he couldn't do anything.
People with different abilities in this world always have to be in different positions, at this time, he can only follow the team, first heal Feng Ling and Chu Wenxin, and then find a way to destroy the demon leader, this is the task of the Martial God Space, but at this time it is also the only way to save this world!
……
Out of the Dianzhou world, the world suddenly opened up, covered in silver, and the cold wind swept the snowflakes and still kept falling, as if they were also sad for the slaughter of demons in the world.
From time to time, in the snow on both sides of the official road, soldiers who were tightly wrapped in horses galloped back and forth on the kind of unicorn they had seen yesterday to report the news and observe the movements around them.
The horse under them is called the Evil Dragon Rider, which is also a very large number of demon troops, eating meat, and extremely fast, eating enough at a time can go without eating speed for several days, physical strength is not reduced at all, short temper, strong attack power, and even fat and strong, even the teeth have been changed into a terrifying monster like a shark.
This was originally one of the extremely large number of demon beasts in the demon army, but three years ago, it was discovered by chance that it could be lured for his own use, and its loyalty to the demon side was far from comparable to that of other demon troops, so it became popular among the human race.
Nowadays, almost all the cavalry of the four countries have changed this kind of war beast, and their combat effectiveness and adaptability have been greatly improved, and the demon army that discovered this has no longer changed the structure of the horses, but has increased the strength of other tigers, wolves and orcs.
The two lieutenants and the two thousand men were all cavalry, and all of them rode this kind of evil dragon horse, and the gallop speed was not slow, and the 400,000-strong team was barely able to take care of it, although it was long.
According to the deployment negotiated with the two junior colonels, Xiao Sha and a few people riding ordinary war horses sat in the center of the team, and the other dozen people from the Shenzhou world, as well as Lan Yue and Lin Ling, were the capital as a mobile combat force around the team and those soldiers to cruise back and forth with those soldiers to prevent all variables.
However, although on the surface they were fulfilling the agreement to escort the team, in fact, they also secretly observed the existence of any special people in the accompanying army and the crowd, and reported to Xiao Sha and the others every half an hour.
In a blink of an eye, two or three hours passed, and the time turned to noon, and the crowd of people who were not walking fast was already more than 20 miles away from Dianzhou, temporarily resting and cooking in the snow on a certain hillside, and Xiao Sha and others also took the opportunity to make a news summary.
The news from everyone that there are no special people in the accompanying army, and the people have not yet been found out because of the large number of people, which makes Xiao Sha a little disappointed.
But they also understood that in fact, these people also tried their best, during this period, several of them were observing them with their extraordinary ears and eyes, these guys basically did not slack off, and they also wanted to cure Feng Ling and Chu Wenxin as soon as possible to complete the task, after all, everyone knew that the sooner they started the task, the greater the possibility of success.
After lunch, the procession continued on, the biting cold wind still howling, but the snow stopped for the time being!
Probably because of the physical strength recovered after eating, or because of the fear that the demon army of Dianzhou City would catch up, the whole team actually walked more than 30 miles in one afternoon, five miles more than in the morning, and finally found a flat place to rest before dusk, and set up camp for a night.
To be honest, Xiao Sha is a little dislike of this kind of slow hurry, and it only takes two or three hours at most for them to walk at this speed, but because the people don't have this ability in the snow, and many old people and children can't go fast and can only walk with the public.
At dinner, Xiao Sha gathered in front of a fire, chatting while eating the dry food given by the two schools, while waiting for the people sent out to come back to report the news they had discovered.
……
“…… Then my seventh sister was so angry that she had to sue, but after complaining, she was reprimanded and punished by the elders for half an hour! But my seventh sister is very powerful now, and she is ranked sixth in our sequence, and now she is called sixth sister! ”
Sitting next to Feng Ling while listening to Feng Ling talk about the things she played when she was a child, she helped her bake the flatbread and dip sauce for her, even if she was still worried about her and Chu Wenxin's poisonous Xiao Sha's mood was much better than during the day, Dong Tianle and Chu Wenxin and Han Yu were the same.
Don't say it, I haven't seen that Feng Ling was quite naughty when she was a child, and she didn't say anything about practicing martial arts and tricking her seventh sister, and her unlucky seventh sister ran to Elder Chuangong to complain, but Feng Ling had long known that Elder Chuangong believed in doing almost anything to achieve victory, and as a result, her seventh sister was tragic.
After listening to this story, he couldn't help but grin at Feng Ling, who was sitting on a stone with clothes on the side: "I can't see that you were so smart when you were a child."
"That's"
Speaking of this, Feng Ling's eyebrows fluttered a little, even if she was weak, she showed a little spirit, and accepted his praise without modesty, this look is not like a generation of martial arts geniuses but like a little sister next door.
Dong Tianle looked embarrassed on the other side of the fire, but when he was talking about it before, Feng Ling broke the news that when he was a child, he pretended to hang himself every once in a while to scare his friends, and the scandal of crying when he was fine, which caused Chu Wenxin and Han Yu to laugh for a while and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
There were already a few fellow martial artists from the Shenzhou world coming back to sit and eat and listen, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard it interesting, although they still didn't know Feng Ling's identity under the deliberate concealment of a few people, it didn't affect the fact that they could get a little warmth in this low-atmosphere environment.
They all came back one after another after observing for a day, and basically failed to find suspicious characters from the people, not that they were not dedicated, but there were too many people, and the other party deliberately hid for a while and a half and they couldn't find it at all.
According to the deployment of the school, they have to take turns to keep vigil at night, and now eating is a small rest, and it feels warm to hear these things, and looking at this beautiful girl who is not very old but can almost be called a country and a city, I also have a little good feeling.
As he was talking, Xu Gang, one of the few people, came back, and as soon as he came back, he poured the reins into the ground with his hand, and when he walked to the fire, he picked up the flatbread and sat down to bake it, and said to Xiao Sha while baking: "Mr. Badao, I have observed more than 10,000 people behind the team, and I have not found any suspicious characters for the time being."
Xiao Sha nodded and said hard work by the way handed him a large bowl of freshly thawed sauce, and then continued to chat with Feng Ling and Han Yu, and after a while, two more people came back, and the news was the same, which couldn't help but make him a little disappointed.
After a while, a guy named Yang Shan, who was at the peak of the opening pulse, rode over with a happy face, and as soon as he came back, he jumped off the horse and directly transmitted: "Mr. Badao, Han Fairy, there is a situation on my side!" ”
