Chapter 603: Beacon City
The frontier of the Great Jin Empire, the Beacon City.
When Lin Han and Jian Bufan came from the Qiankun Sword Sect thousands of miles away, what they saw was wolf smoke and war everywhere, the land was bleak, and the air was full of desolation and tragedy.
The whole world is very dim and extremely depressing.
Beacon City is a small city that is one of the ten main cities attached to the frontier of the Great Jin Empire.
But that's the case, in the border wilderness outside the Beacon City, there are still nearly 100,000 Southern Barbarian troops.
Lin Han and Jian Bufan originally wanted to go to the ten main cities.
But among the ten main cities, the people who went were generally extremely powerful third-level disciples, or even saint-level disciples.
The strong gathered.
If they go, they may just be cannon fodder.
Therefore, the two chose this Beacon City for training.
When the two of them came to this marginal area, they hurried again for nearly half a day, and a majestic ancient city finally appeared in front of them.
The ancient city is incomparably majestic and majestic.
But at this time, from a distance, you can see that the walls are stained with blood, and some of the walls are even very dilapidated, as if they have been destroyed by some incomparably powerful force.
"It looks like the battle here is fierce."
Jian Bufan looked at the shocking bloodstains on the city wall, even before it dried up, and couldn't help but speak slowly.
"Well, let's go into town."
Lin Han nodded, and then walked towards the Beacon City with Jian Bufan.
Da-da-da-da!
Da-da-da-da!
And at this moment, a violent sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from behind.
Lin Han and Jian Bufan looked over, and suddenly saw a group of young men in brocade clothes, a total of more than a dozen people, galloping from a distance, bringing up a puff of dust.
"A disciple of the War Emperor Palace?"
Jian Bufan recognized the clothes on the dozen or so people, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's normal, these disciples of the War Emperor Palace, like us, must have been invited by the Great Jin Imperial Family to come to this Xinjiang city to defend against the enemy."
Lin Han said with a smile.
The royal family of the Great Jin Empire, in order to resist the invasion of the Southern Barbarians, asked for help from "one sect, two palaces, and three palaces".
Therefore, it is not surprising that disciples of several other hegemonic forces appeared in these frontier ancient cities.
"Everyone, please dismount and be examined."
And just when the dozen or so disciples of the War Emperor Hall were about to enter the Beacon City directly, at the gate of the city, the two guards of the Great Jin soldiers stopped them.
"Get out! We are disciples of the War Emperor Palace, who gave you the courage to stop us? ”
Syllable!
A disciple of the War Emperor Hall waved his horsewhip in his hand and directly whipped a Great Jin soldier away.
Immediately, more than a dozen disciples of the War Emperor Hall laughed loudly and entered the Beacon Fire City directly.
And those few Great Jin soldiers, their bodies trembled with rage, but they could only endure it silently, because these dozen or so disciples of the War Emperor Palace, they ordinary soldiers couldn't afford to provoke them at all.
"It's arrogant."
Not far away, Jian Bufan couldn't help but speak out when he saw this scene.
"Defending the city on the frontier, I am most afraid of the enemy's spies, and the routine inspection of the guards guarding the city is reasonable, but these disciples of the War Emperor Palace are too arrogant and think they are superior."
Lin Han also spoke up, and then said indifferently: "Although Beacon City is only a small frontier city, there are definitely a lot of strong people from the major forces who came here this time, and they are too arrogant, and it is easy to live long. ”
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Jian Bufan also nodded.
When the two authenticated themselves, they finally walked into the Beacon City.
This side of the frontier city is full of dull and oppressive atmosphere, and the pedestrians on the road, occasionally seeing one or two, are all in a hurry, looking nervous, a precursor to the coming storm.
Lin Han and Jian Bufan walked around the city casually, and then went straight to the city guard without delay.
Now the person in charge of the city defense is no longer the city lord, but a general who arrived from the royal center of the Great Jin Empire, leading an army of 150,000 to guard here.
"We are disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect, and we have come to help fight Beacon City."
The two walked to the front of the Shoucheng Mansion and directly showed their sword sect order.
"It turns out that the two are the senior disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect, please here, the general has been waiting for the disciples of the sect in the city guard mansion for a long time."
A soldier guarding the city immediately came over and said respectfully.
On the way, Lin Han was curious, and asked the soldier who led them, "How many times have our Great Jin army and the Southern Barbarian army fought these days?" ”
"There are three times in total, the first time both sides lost 10,000 people, the second time both sides lost 20,000 people, and the third time was the most tragic, my Great Jin lost 30,000 people, and the Nanban side only lost 10,000 people."
The soldier said, his eyebrows worried.
"What? In just half a month, nearly 60,000 people have been lost? ”
Lin Han and Jian Bufan were both slightly startled.
Sure enough, this kind of war between empires is too cruel.
"Why did we lose so many people in the Great Jin for the third time, and Nanban only lost a third of the people."
Jian Bufan suddenly asked.
"Because the Southern Barbarian Army has come to the aid of many strong men of the Barbarian God Tower, we ordinary soldiers can't resist the killing of that kind of strong people at all, and we have suffered heavy losses, so we have asked the major sect forces for assistance."
The soldier immediately explained.
"The Barbarian Tower..."
Lin Han and Jian Bufan glanced at each other, and they both saw the vibration in each other's eyes.
The Barbarian God Tower, that is a very large and ancient force in the legend of the border barren forest.
It is said that the heritage of this barbarian god tower is incomparably profound, and its history can be traced back to the distant ancient times, in which there have been countless barbarian powers, which are enough to threaten the entire Great Jin.
"How many people have come to this Beacon City so far?"
Lin Han continued to ask.
"There are hundreds of sect disciples, among them, in addition to the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect where the two are located, there are also disciples from the Battle Emperor Palace, the Danzun Palace, the Corpse Yan Palace, and the Nine Ghost Demon Palace."
The soldier said immediately.
"What about the disciples of the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace?"
Lin Han asked.
"The Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace is located in the extreme west, and it is too far away from Beacon Fire City, so there are basically no disciples coming."
The soldier was a little puzzled as to why Lin Han would suddenly ask about the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace, but he still answered honestly.
"I see, I see."
Lin Han nodded.
In his heart, there has always been a shadow, and that shadow should be in the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Palace now, so Lin Han asked.
Next, in less than a moment, Lin Han and Jian Bufan followed the soldier and had already come to the depths of the city guarding mansion.
They were arranged in a good room, and no one had yet delivered a delicate-looking maid to serve them to the left and right, and to serve tea and water.
Originally, Lin Han and Jian Bufan were going to go directly to meet the generals stationed in this Beacon City.
However, according to the soldier, the general stationed here was discussing tactics with his subordinates, so he could not meet with him for the time being.
In this regard, Lin Han and Jian Bufan also smiled helplessly.
It seems that the Great Jin Empire is still not at ease with these "outsiders", and only uses them as "weapons", and is not allowed to touch the core things.
But in this regard, the two of them don't care.
They came here just to complete the tasks of the sect, so as to exchange contribution points, strengthen their cultivation, and improve their strength.
For other things, Lin Han and Jian Bufan were not interested.
At night, the wind is biting.
Lin Han refused Jian Bufan's request to go to the city for a visit, and he stayed alone in the house, practicing silently.
Although he successfully stepped into the realm of supernatural powers.
But Lin Han knew that he was only the lowest level of the first secret realm.
Compared with characters like Chu Jingcai, he is still as weak as an ant.
You must become stronger as soon as possible in order to be able to cope with all possible crises in the future.
In the next few days, Lin Han usually cultivated silently in the house, and Jian Bufan came a few times, and also brought some disciples who were also from the Qiankun Sword Sect.
There are disciples of the outer sect and disciples of the inner sect.
However, these people, after seeing Lin Han, all looked at them with a kind of worship.
After all, Lin Han was now a legendary figure in the entire Qiankun Sword Sect.
Especially in the hearts of those low-level disciples, Lin Han was the target they were pursuing.
Therefore, when they saw the goal in their hearts, these disciples were very excited.
For these disciples of the same sect who had no malice or hostility, Lin Han naturally would not have a cold face.
Even, when he and Jian Bufan had nothing to do, they would guide these disciples in their cultivation problems.
Even if there were a few second-level disciples of the Inner Sect who had cultivated and stepped into the second secret realm, they all listened to the teachings with an open mind.
After all, Lin Han's understanding and comprehension of the way of the sword was far from what they could imagine.
Seeing this scene, Lin Han also smiled slightly in his heart.
It seems that in the Qiankun Sword Sect, not all of them are people who tend to be inflammatory, but there are still some disciples with good conduct and good hearts.
War could break out at any time.
Lin Han and Jian Bufan, in addition to their own cultivation, also tried their best to guide these disciples of the same sect, hoping to make them stronger.
Otherwise, when war breaks out, they will definitely be cannon fodder.
And these disciples, who have received the help of the two, are also extremely grateful.
Even though Lin Han and Jian Bufan had just entered the Inner Sect.
But many of the disciples of the Inner Sect who received the guidance of the two of them affectionately called the two Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Jian.
On this day, Lin Han had a premonition of a breakthrough in his cultivation, and he began to retreat, not seeing anyone.
It's night, in the house.
Lin Han's gaze was solemn, and he slowly stimulated the Dragon Emperor's will, and began to wrap towards a black heart in his dantian.
That black heart is the heart of the demon!
The last time he met Su He, Lin Han got a big opportunity.
It's just that all along, Lin Han was afraid of alarming the demonic thoughts in the demon's heart, so he didn't move it.
But tonight, Lin Han had to move it.
Lin Han now has very few spirit stones left on his body, and now that he is on the verge of breaking through, he needs the life essence in this demon's heart to supply his needs.
"Buzz!"
The terrifying Dragon Emperor's will surged like a tide, the demon's heart moved slightly, and a crack appeared, and a drop of blood dripped from it, merging into Lin Han's dantian.
"Wow!"
For a moment, Lin Han only felt that his dantian sea was boiling in an instant.
An extremely large life essence exploded in Lin Han's body, beginning to grow every vein, every bone, and every inch of flesh and blood.
"It worked."
Lin Han was overjoyed.
This time, he forced a drop of blood from the demon's heart, but it did not revive the terrifying demonic thoughts in it.
