Below, the group of unconvinced demon warriors shook their heads, and the leader of them replied, "Not yet, there is no news at present." And now there is a war of plundering everywhere, so chaotic, it is very difficult to find someone. And it's a woman, maybe she's ......."

Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and he felt an inexplicable chill all over his body, and he trembled violently.

On the main seat above, the demon general squinted his eyes, and a faint killing intent was overwhelming. He took a handkerchief and wiped his hands casually, and hummed, "If there really is that case, your tribe will wait to be slaughtered." Also, go warn the rest of the tribes in the vicinity, and if you look at someone who looks like it, send it in good condition at once. Otherwise, the tip of my great saber will no longer be facing the Snow Dragon Empire. ”

"Well, can you ask who you're looking for?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do it honestly. Finding your clan instead of another clan is already a shame! ”

"Yes."

……

In the evening, the desert gate is closed.

Compared with the steepness of the narrow peak pass, the first feeling of the barren gate pass is majestic, the gap between the two mountains of nearly a thousand meters is completely blocked by the towering city wall, and extends back thousands of meters, forming a huge fortress like a city.

Within the walls, the buildings are closely arranged, and many of the towering roof platforms are equipped with huge defensive equipment. On every street, well-equipped guards patrol back and forth without stopping.

"Huangmen Pass, located in the barren mountain range, is the national gate of the Snow Dragon Empire facing the Northern Regions. This is not only a frontier to defend the Empire, but also the home of many people who have guarded it for generations. For them, most of their memories lie only here, and even the children of many generals and soldiers have never left this place from birth to death. ”

Looking at the shocked faces of her companions, Fang Huanlan explained softly, with a more or less faint trace of sadness in her voice. This is also her destined fate, even if there is a small change in the middle, it cannot change the outcome of the final game.

Nodding, Ning Yue looked at a group of children playing on the relatively open flat land not far away, shook his head lightly and sighed, and said, "Don't let others in, and you can't get out, like a caged bird?" Born here, grew up here, and died here. ”

"This is fate, and someone has to do it for the sake of the borders of the Empire. The prosperity of the hinterland of the empire is the most desirable sight for many people, and it is also the most talked about topic in their spare time. It's just that even if they yearn for it again, let them choose again, they still stay here. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Huanlan suddenly let out a wry smile, looked at the two people in the group of children in the distance, who were dressed a little differently, and said: "In fact, at this time of year, although it is the most bitter time of the war, it is also a time when every soldier can have a little more entertainment. Because, although the Huangmen Pass is the gate of the empire, it does not mean that if you go north, it will no longer be the territory of the empire. It's just that further north, a wasteland, it's not easy to build levels, so you can only build a city pass again for defense. ”

"Of course, I know that there are still many humans living outside the gates, and there are also trade routes to the rest of the empires. Otherwise, if all the subjects of the empire are within the checkpoint, where can anyone plunder the demons. If you have to fight to break through the city pass, it won't be cost-effective. ”

Twilight Yinyin snorted, for many things in the empire, it was certainly impossible for her, who was born in Marshal Nan's family, not to know.

"At this time of year, those people outside the gate will temporarily flee into the deserted gate to avoid the edge. Wait until the beginning of spring and then return to your homeland. And at this time of year, more caravans will come here. Their presence also brought a little fun to the boring life of the defenders. ”

"However, the customs are safer, why do they have to go back in the spring?" Ning Yue asked suspiciously, not only him, but also many people in the group also looked puzzled and nodded here.

In this regard, the deputy general sent by Liu Guozhao replied: "Because, after all, that side is the home where they have lived for generations, and their roots are there." In any case, it cannot be given up. Moreover, the plundering demons also understand the truth that they can't fish with all their might, and only grab supplies and food, but they will not destroy and burn down those people's homes and houses. Otherwise, if those settlements are abandoned in the coming year, they will have no place to plunder. ”

After a sudden realization, Luo Liao asked, "What about the caravan?" Since they have been doing business all year round by this trade route, they should know why the number of people is increasing instead of decreasing at this time when the frontier is in turmoil. ”

Fang Huanlan sighed: "The more wars and chaos, the more dangerous and business opportunities. Think about it, whenever this happens, some of the special products and materials that used to rely on foreign transportation will become scarce, the price will naturally rise, and the benefits may increase several times. The caravans that wander in this kind of territory all the year round usually have some friendship with the defenders of various countries and even the nomadic demon tribes, and they will also hire some strong people as escorts, which look dangerous, but in fact, counting the benefits, the whole will make a lot of money, and in their opinion, it is worth taking risks. ”

At the same time, Shen Ding added: "Note that it is only that there are more caravans entering Chengguan, not the overall number of caravans. In normal times, some caravans were reluctant to enter the border where the garrison was stationed, preferring to camp overnight in the wilderness. ”

Twilight Yinyin was stunned for a moment and said, "Why? Even if it's less dangerous in normal times, it's still safer in Kannai, right? If you lose the goods, you can lose it all after a trip. ”

"As for this question, it's normal that you don't know."

Fang Huanlan patted her head and said with a smile: "Because in normal times, the normal profit of goods is not as high as it is now." In order to ensure that they make more money on every trip, many caravans will secretly carry some shady goods. But once at the border, all goods must be inspected. Spend the night outside and be lucky enough to be safe. But once you enter the city pass, it is basically impossible for those special goods to escape the eyes of the defenders. Once confiscated, they really lost their trip. ”

"Special cargo, for example?"

"The most typical, spiritual weapons, blades, and some precious elixirs. These things, no empire would be willing to sell them to the rest of the empires, and in the event of a war at that time, it is likely to cause great trouble to itself. In addition, the most numerous were slaves. At the Frontiers of Nations, not all empires prohibit human trafficking. And even if it is forbidden by the law, there are some nobles who trade slaves privately because of some special hobbies of evil interests. It is impossible for some black-hearted businessmen not to pay attention to that profit. Of course, in addition to these things, there are others, but the profit is relatively low, but it is also higher than ordinary goods. ”

Huiyi nodded, and Twilight Yinyin sighed: "All in all, it's a 'benefit' word." ”

"The hustle and bustle is all about profit, and for businessmen, profit is direct money. For the rest, the benefits can be varied. Even the defenders stationed here are not all really defending. There are many people who also hope that they can be exalted from this bitter cold land by virtue of the merits displayed here. Marshal North may be the most respected of the four generalissimos, but this position is also something that many people are not willing to accept. ”

When the words fell, Fang Huanlan stopped, and what appeared in front of everyone was a heavily guarded camp, and further on, it would lead to the city tower.

Seeing this, the deputy general sent by Liu Guozhao wanted to step forward to deliver the letter, but Fang Huanlan grabbed it, walked straight to the guard of the gate, and handed it out. Without waiting for the other party to speak, she snorted first.

"Wu Xiu, when did you kid become a gatekeeper? Tell me, did you make a mistake? ”

In front of Fang Huanlan, the young guard who was called turned his face and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that yesterday I saw a caravan maliciously raise the price when selling goods to the residents outside the customs who took refuge in the customs, I couldn't stand it, so I went up and said a few words." I was impulsive for a while, and I made a move, so I ......"

A punch slammed into his chest, Fang Huanlan said, "Don't forget your duty, it's right to take care of injustice." But if you do it, you will lose money. At least if you want to do it, don't do it in the open. ”

"Yes, eldest sister." Wu Xiu nodded hurriedly.

Seeing this, the guards on the other side stepped forward, took the letter from Fang Huanlan's hand, turned around and hurriedly rushed into the camp.

Looking at Fang Huanlan and then stepped aside, Wu Xiu opened his mouth and said: "That, since it is the person brought by the eldest sister, it must also be a new reinforcement sent by the imperial capital, so let's enter the camp first, sit down and wait, it will definitely be no problem anyway." ”

Raising her hand and pointing, Fang Huanlan shouted: "It's still the same sentence, don't forget your duties." You can't break the rules just because it's me. Moreover, I was relieved of my duties when I left, and before I could resume my duties, I had to report if I wanted to enter the camp. ”

"You don't need to be so troublesome, right? The whole wilderness is closed, who doesn't know you, and you have to report it? ”

A hearty laugh came from the camp, and I saw a group of soldiers in dark purple armor striding forward, and the general at the front was estimated to be in his early forties, with a square face and short beard, and a faint heroic spirit between his eyebrows. I saw him holding a helmet in his hand, a sword hanging from his waist, and his steps were thick and powerful.

"General Lu." Fang Huanlan hurriedly bowed.

"What is the general, as before, just call Uncle Lu. I haven't seen you for long, why is it so angry? ”

The general shook his head repeatedly, then raised his hand with a gesture.

"Come in, I'm on duty today, and I still have this power."

"Well, thank you Uncle Lu."

Fang Huanlan nodded and smiled, and motioned for everyone behind her to enter the camp together.

"Wait a minute, it seems like you've forgotten the rules, right?"

Suddenly, another group of soldiers came out of the side of the camp, and their clothing and armor were no different from General Lu's team.

When this group of people appeared, a faint sense of disgust obviously flashed in Fang Huanlan's eyes. However, it did not occur here.

"It turned out to be General You. I don't know, which rule have we forgotten? ”

"It seems that you have been gone for so long that you have forgotten even the most important rule."

As the general raised his hand, the two soldiers behind him took out a box and opened it in front of everyone, only to see that there was a blue inkstone inside. The next moment, all the soldiers of the entire team drew their swords from their waists and surrounded Fang Huanlan and his party.

"I want to go in and leave a drop of blood here for each person. Of course, you don't need it, Alain. ”

It turns out that General You is referring to this article. It's just, can you use such a big formation? ”

Fang Huanlan snorted, and looked around at the soldiers who surrounded them with cold eyes, with a gloomy look in her eyes.

General You replied: "No way, be careful." If something goes wrong, no one can afford it. Besides, even if it's your companion, you can't guarantee that there are no spies mixed in by demons in it. Some demon spies try their best to gain our trust. But in any case, it is impossible for them to change what makes them different from humans in their bloodline. Everyone who enters the deserted gate must take a blood test to find out, and you should know this better than anyone else. ”
