Chapter 617
The wind is howling, the snow is flying in the north, and the knee-high snow-covered mountains are closed. Even the most resilient snow bears have gone into hibernation.
In the midst of the snow, there was a vast expanse, and a winding procession slowly wriggled forward like an earthworm, as if it could stop at any moment. In winter, the snow and ice cover are curved, and for the fierce beasts of the north, it is tantamount to a delicious ration delivered to the door, and the beasts are angry, and the undercurrent of death threats is surging, and the vulnerable team in front of them can be destroyed at any time.
Woohooββββ woohooββββ
A team of snow wolf knights braved the wind and snow, shuttling rapidly, from the back of the team, charging forward at a rapid pace. Unfortunately, they were one step too late.
A ferocious beast attacked the team in front of them, leaving them with only wreckage and bones that could not be put together, and a team of three hundred men was all killed in just six minutes. The Snow Wolf Knight, full of grief and indignation, his eyes bloodshot, followed the tracks left by the beast to find the past.
This road is destined to be unsafe, but no one expected the beast attack to be so swift and ferocious, and in the next few days, more teams will pass through this place, and this beast herd must be eradicated.
Twenty-six snow wolf knights, divided into two teams, want to echo, go hand in hand. The beast was well fed, disheveled, and slow-moving, and was quickly locked by them.
"Three-headed silver-armored ice lizard."
The Snow Wolf Knight's face changed drastically, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
The silver-armored ice lizard, which lives in the tropical rainforest itself, can be in the village in the ice and snow, must be a mutated thing, once linked to the mutation, its combat effectiveness will inevitably skyrocket several times, far from being able to judge their strength by conventional methods, moreover, the three silver-armored ice lizards in front of them are more robust and huge, the two next to them are as huge as a car, more than sixteen meters in length, the leader silver-armored ice lizard is more vigorous, the body is like a van, good at more than twenty-five, and its size is almost close to a ground dragon.
The alert silver-armored ice lizard soon spotted the snow wolf knight who had opened up and closed the circle, and with a hiss, the two silver-armored ice lizards on the left and right rushed into the snow wolf knight group.
"Stay in formation, lead forward and attack."
The two squad leaders shouted almost simultaneously. Ten snow wolf knights spread out in formation, spinning counterclockwise around the silver-armored ice lizard, drawing their bows and arrows, and launching a tentative attack.
The silver-armored ice lizard could not be killed, but was surrounded by the agile snow wolf knight, and the arrows roared and shot into the body, except for one that was luckily inserted into the gap between the two silver armors, barely piercing into the body of the silver-armored ice lizard, the other nine sharp arrows crashed into a spark, and fell one after another, unable to cause the slightest damage, as if shooting an iron plate.
Hissββββββ
Suddenly attacked, the silver-armored ice lizard entered a state of rage, and its long tail struck a little, beating a snow wolf knight behind it into a pulp. Before the other snow wolf knights could react, the huge silver-armored ice lizard attacked like lightning, and the snow wolf knights in front of them jumped and fled. At this moment, the silver-armored ice lizard's crocodile-like mouth opened and shot out a red shadow, like a whip, and the two snow wolf knights were knocked away in the air, splashing snowflakes all over the ground with snow, and never got up again.
"Be careful, that's its tongue!"
The team leader burst his legs twenty meters away, and hurriedly reminded him, but before he could think of it, the silver-armored ice lizard turned his head and opened his mouth at him. The tongue, which was only ten meters long just now, spanned twenty meters like lightning, and with a gentle roll, he rolled the snow wolf knight squad leader into his mouth, chewing it with a sigh, maybe the squad leader's armor was too hard, and he opened his mouth and spit it out. However, the squad leader is dead.
"Retreat, retreatββββ"
Seeing this, the other squad leader only had time to shout, and the leader of the silver-armored ice lizard didn't know when he lurked beside him, and suddenly opened his mouth, spurted out a thicker tongue, and whipped it over thirty meters like a whip, and whipped seven or eight snow wolf knights away at once. Almost at the same time, the other two silver-armored lizards burst into attack.
Twenty-six snow wolf knights were killed after being strangled and became the souls of the silver-armored ice lizards.
ββββββ
Outside the Yanmen Pass, in the ice camp.
"Report ββββ"
The herald broke into the Ice Clan camp wrapped in a snowstorm, jumped off his crotch and snowwolf, and galloped in.
Ye Xiaofei was discussing with General Xu Xiong, the guard of Yanmen Guangcheng, and the two of them were very surprised by the heralds who did not report, if it weren't for the urgency of 100,000, they would never be so reckless.
"Report, the advance team of 3,000 people, all of them lost contact after a night last night, the Snow Wolf Knights went to investigate, the advance team was all killed, and even the Snow Wolf Knights suffered more than half of the casualties."
Ye Xiaofei could expect that this trip would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce and tragic, and the advance team was wiped out? None of them escaped for help, and the Snow Wolf Knights who went to investigate were fast enough, and they still suffered more than half of the casualties, and the north was simply a hell of cannibalism.
Old General Xu Xiong stood up suddenly, retreated again and again in shock, looked incredulous, and couldn't help but gasp for breath: "Can you be sure of the accuracy of the intelligence?" Three thousand advance teams, that is the elite defending the city, all killed overnight? β
The 3,000 advance team held on to one side with high walls and sharp weapons, barely making a difference, but on the unsheltered glacier, the night would only become a food delivered to the door for the beasts to enjoy.
Ye Xiaofei lowered his head and secretly blamed himself, he was bent on treating the wounded of the Ice Clan, if he paid more attention, he would definitely be able to avoid the tragedy in front of him.
"Old General Xu, you mourn, at this critical moment, you must not fall." Ye Xiaofei said a few words of relief: "The team can't stop." The entire territory of the Western Regions was covered with heavy snow, the roads were impassable, and it was difficult for a large-scale army to move an inch. However, it was General Zhao Gou who was stationed in Loulan City, and he waved dozens of magic spaceships, traveled hundreds of miles a day, and could reach Yanmen Pass in less than three days. It must be hidden in the shortest possible time to avoid the destruction of the city. β
The old general Xu Xiong was grief-stricken, clenched his teeth suddenly, and nodded in agreement: "What the general said is reasonable, and you must not stay." It's just that at the moment, fierce beasts are rampant, and I am afraid that the road ahead may become the abyss of death, and we have no way to enter. β
The city defense army was only 12,000, and the most elite 3,000 were hung up at once, which was almost a devastating blow to morale. Once the military and civilians outside heard the news, they would inevitably look ahead and stagnate. How can you hesitate now?
Ye Xiaofei immediately ordered: "Block this news, anyone who dares to leak it will be killed." Gather all the griffon knights in the whole army and assemble outside the tent. Order all the snow wolf knights to spill out like fishing nets and set up a cordon. As soon as a beast is spotted, a warning signal is immediately issued. Don't beat them, just hold them down. β
Several heralds received orders one after another, and rode the snow wolf outside the tent to all sides.
The old general Xu Xiong will definitely be a veteran of the battlefield, and gradually eased up, and there was no refutation of his arrangement, but the more he listened, the more his brows wrinkled, and finally they were already screwed together.
"General, our army is obviously not the opponent of the fierce beasts, although the griffin knights have the ability to fly, but they are not connected with the ordinary griffins in the country, all of them are mutated snowy griffins, the number is very small, I am afraid there is no doubt about the battle situation. The Snow Wolf Knights have just suffered more than half of the casualties, and they urgently need to be repaired and called again, and their combat strength is not good, so I am afraid that they will be powerless. β
Ye Xiaofei had to admire General Xu Xiong's experienced experience and keen observation, others heard a large list of orders, it took time to understand, and General Xu Xiong almost opened his mouth, and every sentence hit the point. At present, the comparison of the combat power of the army is like a three-year-old child and a sturdy adult fighting for territory, and the results are self-evident.
The Ice Clan has the ability to compete with the fierce beast herd, and there are nearly 10,000 Ice Clan people behind him, which is enough to dominate the side. It's a pity that they are all wounded people who need to be taken care of, and when they see fierce beasts, they can only survive by running away.
"General Xu let go," Ye Xiaofei was calm and calm, and slowly walked out of the tent: "In addition to my position as a general of Zhenbei, I am also a legend. I'm in charge of the team's safety next. β
Aung Aung Ang ββββ
The snowy sky suddenly sounded a terrible eagle's cry, and white figures broke through the clouds and circled over the Ice Clan camp.
The old general Xu Xiong looked up at the majestic snowy griffin in the sky with a proud face.
The snowy griffin is a mutated species in the griffon, different from the ordinary griffin living in a warm climate, the snowy griffin likes ice and snow, and the nest is often built on the ice peak with a thousand blades, the ordinary griffin is only seven or eight meters tall, and the snowy griffin can often grow into more than ten meters, and can carry several names at the same time, which is a unique type of troops in Yanmen Pass, and is the most powerful combat effectiveness in the entire defender.
Each snowy griffin is a feather-level fierce beast, much more powerful than ordinary feather-level fierce beasts, and if you lose the knights on your back, you can almost kill three enemies with one and kill each other. The only flaw is that it adds up to just twenty-nine.
There were a few ice dragons left in the Ice Clan camp, and these behemoths with bodies of seventy or eighty meters raised their heads to the sky and roared angrily, and then rose to the sky, as if they were looking for snowy griffins to settle accounts, so that they could figure out whose territory was here.
Roar Roar Roar ββββ
Bingjiao roared angrily, baring its teeth and claws, constantly demonstrating force and deterrence. The snowy griffin is not afraid, huddles and defends, constantly changing positions, looking for a better position to dive and attack, and responds nakedly.
The Moore priest hurried over: "Elder Ye, who are those griffins?" β
Ye Xiaofei was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Bingjiao's territorial concept to be so strong, didn't the snowy griffin just fly a few laps, and it seemed that he was going to fight, and he paused slightly, and he was full of luck: "Landing all for me." β
The power of the middle legendary rank enveloped the sound, and it rushed straight to the nine heavens, even if the wind was howling, the sound pierced through the air and broke through the wind, piercing their minds, only to see all the ice Jiao and snowy griffins tremble, and their heads immediately stopped shouting, and they landed quickly with their tails between their legs. The fierce birds and beasts in the sky landed one after another, and the people on the ground showed puzzled expressions. In their ears, Ye Hanfeng was just an ordinary scold, and it would disappear within a hundred meters, how could the fierce birds and beasts at a height of hundreds of meters know, looking at their frightened looks, it was incredible.
The Ice Clan knights on Bing Jiao's body and the Terran knights on the Snowy Withered Body jumped off their mounts one after another, looking at each other and smiling bitterly. Although they shouted again and again in the air, the effect was obviously not good, and they were about to fight.
"See Elder Yeββββ"
"See General Zhenbeiββββ"
The two clans were actually on both sides, and they all bowed to Ye Xiaofei who came over. Behind them, the snowy griffins and ice dragons that had not been able to die just now were lying on their stomachs like puppies, and they didn't dare to bark.
"It's a matter of urgency," Ye Xiaofei stood still: "The Ice Clan and the Human Race will join forces from now on, and I need you to pull up an air warning net." In addition to being on guard, it is also responsible for information transmission. Under your wings, the Snow Wolf Knight will reconnoiter the Quartet, and if you find danger, you will send a signal, and you will screen it yourself, and if you think you can clean it up, you will solve it by yourself, and if you are unable to do so, you will immediately send a signal, and someone will naturally pass it to us, and Ben will personally take action. β
The ground-air two-in-one vigilance strike net is the only way Ye Xiaofei can come up with at present, and it is more than enough to deal with small murderers, but if it is a group of fierce beasts, this web will be as fragile as a spider's web. At this time, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the luck of the human race would not be too bad, and he would arrive at his destination safely, set up camp, and stick to one side.
Moore Sacrifice and Old General Xu glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and even a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, the integrated attack of the air and ground had never been seen in previous wars, and the current union of hundreds of people opened up a new understanding for them.
Ye Xiaofei beckoned, called the two captains into the tent, and invited Moore Priest and General Xu Xiong into the tent at the same time.
"Moore sacrifice," Ye Xiaofei glanced at the bulging chest of the Moore sacrifice with expectant eyes: "I don't know if it's finished?" β
"Don't dare to live up to Elder Ye's sustenance, this sacrifice has been translated overnight, and a map of the human race script has been drawn up, please Elder Ye take a look."
Ye Xiaofei was overjoyed, and when he saw the Moore sacrifice, he knew that this matter had a result, but despite this, he was still excited when he got the map of the north at this time. Hurriedly spread it out on the table.
"The Ice Mound Group is the best place to hide here, but it is far away, it will take four or five days, and the fierce beasts are rampant in the way, and I am afraid that they will never be able to reach it. However, General Zhao Gou's magic spaceship may depart at any time, and there is not much time left for us. He picked up a pen and pointed to the map with the barrel of the pen upside down: "Follow this route, the shortest road." Two captains, your task is to open a cordon in front of the advance team, find out the distribution of the fierce beasts on this road and the direction of their flow, and avoid them if you can, and kill them if you can. The whole army was ordered to travel day and night through this dangerous area. β
"No," the old general Xu Xiong, who had been nodding in agreement, suddenly objected: "The other old men all agree that they only work day and night, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." The army can still follow the order, but the old, young, women and children who accompany the army have to rest for half an hour after walking for three or four hours, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do it. β
The army of 12,000 hung up 3,000, and 9,000 remained. There are nearly 30,000 civilians, and more than half of them are old, weak, women and children, and their mobility is low, and whether they are soldiers and civilians, all of them are dragging their families and belongings, and they are all going into battle. Ye Xiaofei estimated that it would take four or five, and I am afraid that they may not be able to arrive in half a month, and it is more likely that they will die of exhaustion and freeze to death on the road.
Ye Xiaofei groaned slightly, feeling that it was more tricky than dealing with fierce beasts: "You guys act according to the plan first, and Rong Ben will think about the marching issue." β
"Subordinates take orders!"
The two captains left with their hands, and after a while, the sound of the roaring eagle's hooves came from outside the tent, and they gradually walked away.
Once the air-ground integrated alert and attack network is established, Ye Xiaofei must sit in it, obviously, there is not much time left for him to think about the march.
Seeing that Ye Xiaofei was frowning, the Moore Priest hesitated slightly, and said, "Elder Ye, walking in the snow, I'm afraid that no race has a better way than our Ice Clan. β
Ye Xiaofei suddenly laughed, isn't this just holding the pillow and thinking about the pillow, asking for trouble? The Ice Clan had walked more roads than he had ever seen before.
"Sacrifice to your lordship," General Xu Xiong took the lead: "You must save our human race, please help usββββ"
"We must do our best," the Moorish priest interrupted him, "the Ice Clan is almost all wounded at the moment, but there are also serious and minor injuries. After being rescued by the Terran pastoral doctors, there are not a few people who have recovered. Elder Ye, there are now more than 3,000 lightly injured people who can be mobilized, and they can be placed in various teams. They have two great stunts. β
Ye Xiaofei was overjoyed, he didn't expect that one night of treatment would be able to use three thousand Ice Clan people.
The Ice Clan's great escape, basically advancing day and night, with huge physical exertion and a lack of food, all of them went on the road hungry, and almost all of them were elites who could persist in walking down. Among them, the wounded have not rested for a long time and cannot recover. In the past two days, outside the Yanmen Pass, although there were twists and turns, they also had a good night's sleep, nourished their spirits, and a large amount of food and materials made by Ye Xiaofei make these hungry Ice Clan people have a full meal, and they have the strength and spirit, and the Ice Clan people have already started self-treatment and mutual treatment before the arrival of the Terran pastoral doctor.
When the Terran pastoral doctor came in with a large amount of medicine, he was actually treating the seriously wounded. With the god-like body of the Ice Clan, he has already recovered. That's when 3,000 lightly wounded people suddenly appeared.
"The Ice Clan people have a lot of stunts," Ye Xiaofei asked happily, "Which two are you talking about?" β
The Moore priest also smiled, remembering the injury number that should have been desperate, and began to become vigorous, grateful to Ye Xiaofei from the bottom of his heart, and respectfully arched his hand: "Elder Ye doesn't know, the Ice Clan people don't need any tools, they can make sleds with their hands, and another stunt is that most of the Ice Clan people can summon ice wolves, which are usually used as a means of transportation, and can drag the sled forward at this time." β
"Three thousand Ice Clansmen? Three thousand ice wolves? Ye Xiaofei was overjoyed, no matter what the combat strength of the ice wolf was, as long as he had strength, plus the original horses and mounts in Yanmen Pass, the problem of marching was revealed.
"Lord Sacrifice, you are really the benefactor of my human race!" The old general Xu Xiong burst into tears and thanked him.
"Well, the matter of the march will be left to the two of them. Ben will be responsible for covering the security of the team. I'm afraid the snowy griffins and ice dragons are already in place, and it's time for me to act. β
Ye Xiaofei said goodbye, pushed away the farewell of the two, and after leaving the tent, he rose into the sky and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds.
