Chapter 420: Alone in a foreign land as a stranger

After a long period of rest and preparation, a group of guilds led by Haoran Villa who advocated taking the initiative to attack finally began their plan to attack deep into the barbarian territory. They were full of confidence in this trip, and even felt that the group of barbarian soldiers in the front line could not be their opponents.

So on a sunny morning, Lie Yu Hongtu, as the commander-in-chief, led an expedition team composed of 50,000 elite players, and set off towards the frontier of the barbarian construction amid the cheers of the players in Yuquan Pass.

In their plan, if all goes well, they will take this place before dark, and then use it as a springboard to capture the large stronghold of Moonshadow Bay behind the forward position. As long as the large stronghold of Moonshadow Bay is in their hands, it means that the vast area in the rear is all under their control, and then they only need to touch each area little by little.

Whenever he thought of this, Lie Yu Hongtu couldn't help the surging passion in his heart, as if he had seen the scene of himself galloping wildly with his horse in the desert, rushing to kill in the barbarian cavalry formation, and leading his players to be invincible.

The people who had such passionate thoughts were not the only ones who had such a passionate thought, including the presidents who had gone with him on the expedition, and they all had some kind of expectation for this expedition. After all, for the increasingly solidified guild strength, it is only in some large-scale plots that it is possible to find an opportunity to seek a way out for the development of the guild.

As the last major event before entering the national war zone, the plot of the barbarian invasion is undoubtedly the only chance for this group of guild leaders, unlike those presidents who propose to defend the Yuquan Pass to preserve the strength of the guild, these presidents who support the grand plan of Lie Yu believe in the truth of wealth and danger. In their opinion, this expedition is a gamble, and how much they can gain depends on their luck.

However, the truth was that their luck was not good, as the plan to start attacking the forward positions before dark was disrupted by a group of men who were killed in the middle of the battle. The barbarian cavalry numbered only two thousand, but they were dragging extremely lethal siege ballistas, and before the two sides could face each other, the player's side was killed by these ballistas.

It was also thanks to Lie Yu Hongtu that he was able to stay in danger, commanding five thousand people to follow him, using the undulating sand dunes as cover, to go around the opponent's flank, avoid the killing range of the bow and crossbow, and then decisively rush up and stir up with the opponent.

Although this group of barbarian cavalry was fierce in combat, after all, the number was still too small, and without the suppression of ballistas, the cavalry of the player's main formation rushed up decisively, using the advantage of numbers to quickly annihilate them all.

However, the battle was quite fierce, with the barbarian cavalry exterminating nearly 5,000 players in a one-for-two casualty ratio, and also using crossbow arrows to kill some players carrying supplies, causing considerable losses to the expeditionary force.

Afterwards, Lieyu Hongtu carefully searched for information about this group of barbarian cavalry, according to their clothing and accessories, they were not the defenders of the forward defense line and Moon Shadow Bay, although it was not understood why they were wandering around the breeding place with ballistas, but it was certain that something should have happened to the forward defense line, otherwise there would not be so many reinforcements from the main position.

For the sake of safety, Lie Yu Hongtu asked everyone to camp in the abandoned village they found, and personally led a hundred people to set off lightly to spy on the news.

When Lie Yu Hongtu came to the vicinity of the forward position, what he saw was a dilapidated scene. The forward line of defense, which had a defensive force no less than that of the main city, was now left with only a few layers of burning walls. The further you go inside, the more the fortifications are breached, and even the burning oil can be seen piled up between some of the broken walls.

It is clear that the forward positions were attacked quite violently, and, judging by the traces of the scene, the group of attackers attacked from behind the defensive line.

Blazing Feather couldn't imagine what a formidable opponent the barbarian soldiers guarding the forward position had encountered, but it could be seen from the reinforcements who would rather wander the desert than approach this side that the group of people who attacked the forward position must have ended the battle with such a devastating force that the barbarian defenders were beaten to the point that they lost the determination to resist.

If it weren't for the fact that the Iron Floating Slaughter Brigade of the Nine Dragons Society was carrying out a defensive mission in another direction, Lie Yu Hongtu would have doubted that all this in front of him was their handiwork. However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, after all, he still knew how effective the Iron Float Brigade was, and even they might not be able to carry out the destruction so thoroughly.

At this time, Lie Yu Hongtu couldn't help but think of Mo Qianying, and it seemed that only that magical guy knew what was going on in front of him.

Perhaps sensing the strong feelings of longing for Lie Yu Hongtu, Mo Qianying, who was far away on the other side of the desert, sneezed fiercely, then touched his nose and hid in a cave, and came to the small fire that the night owl had just lit and rubbed his hands to warm up.

"The group is still outside?" The night owl glanced out of the cavern, and there was nothing but the darkness of the night and the howling of the wind.

Mo Qianying rubbed his hands and nodded: "Judging from the equipment, it is the defenders of the Burning Sun Slope, the Northern Desert Tianchi should have captured the Burning Flame Slope, and this group of people should have escaped after the rout over there." Depending on the situation, they won't leave until they kill all the people in that village, so I think we'd better stay here honestly and spend the night! ”

Listening to Mo Qianying's words, the night owl's eyes flickered, staring at the bonfire in front of him a little distracted. After a long while, he raised his eyes to look at Mo Qianying and asked softly, "Those villagers...... They're barbarians, too! Why do these soldiers kill these unarmed people for fun? Aren't their enemies those of us Central Plains? ”

Mo Qianying was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask such a question, and the Night Stalker's words inadvertently reminded him that the activities of these barbarian soldiers at the moment seemed to have completely exceeded their original AI gave them action thinking. Torture and killing innocents were often done by ancient armies, but it seems a little too weird for this group of vanquished people to vent in this way.

Could it be something to do with that guy?

Mo Qianying frowned, finding that things were progressing faster than he imagined, and now that it had reached such an obvious point, I am afraid that it was really like what Bei Mo Tianchi said, the situation was getting worse and worse.

"Hey! I'm asking you! The night owl grabbed a stone at his feet and threw it at Mo Qianying.

Mo Qianying reacted instinctively, and immediately turned his head sideways to dodge, and when he saw the night owl's angry face, he immediately smiled: "If you ask me about this kind of thing, I can't answer it, or you can ask them directly." ”

The night owl jerked to his feet, then looked out of the cavern and said grimly, "Good idea." ”

Mo Qianying raised her eyebrows, and suddenly felt that she had just spoken too much.
