Chapter 205: Fengkou Town
As for the remaining two passages in Montenegro, they are connected to the eastern countries, and they have little to do with Luo Xia for the time being.
On the rocky plateau, the greatest danger, besides people, is the wind.
It is like a barrier that blocks the natural intersection between the north and the south, and therefore, it will also suffer from the 'wrath' of nature.
Everyone knows that in countless years, the dying plateau will eventually be crushed by the never-ending violent sandstorms, but at least not now.
The top of the shattered rocky plateau is impassable with numerous cracks, and the wind, which is far more terrifying than the ground, occasionally poses an additional danger to travelers walking through the path.
"Boom....boom!"
A boulder more than a man tall fell from a cliff hundreds of meters high! The heavily weathered boulder exploded into countless flying rock fragments the moment it landed, splashing everywhere.
The people who were taken aback found that there were countless dirt and stone bags on both sides of the canyon-like path. Presumably that's how it came, and a few people subconsciously stayed away from both sides of the cliff...
These bags of earth and rock, standing quietly, will disappear completely in the next few years as the wind and sand roll up, year after year...
The passages along the way are narrow and wide, narrow only about ten meters, and wide can even reach hundreds of meters. Although the wind and sand are not as wild as in the wilderness outside, they are not small, flying sand and rocks are just normal, and you must always pay attention to the movement overhead.
If this is the case on the rocky plateau, it is easy to understand why the countries did not have permanent armaments here and occupied them. It is estimated that every once in a while, a group of soldiers will be stoned to death, and no one can stand it.
Several corpses lay dead on the side of the road, the dark red blood stains under them have not completely disappeared under the erosion of the wind and sand...
Fresh corpses, dead no more than a day.
As far as the eye can see, corpses are constantly falling on the road in various forms, as if not long ago, there was a one-sided tragic battle here...
Luo Xia dismounted and flipped over a corpse that had been trampled to death by a horse's hooves from behind, and saw a middle-aged man with a brown turban and a weathered face, almost exactly the same as the surrounding corpses.
"It's fast..."
As he was chattering, there was a continuous 'rumbling' sound from the other side of the canyon...
"Boom..."
The sound of horses' hooves, which were almost indistinguishable from a distance, began to be heard from a distance, and there was a terrifying aura like a mountain and a sea, as if the entire canyon began to shake.
Luo Xia and the others involuntarily got together, ready to run away at any time.
Thousands of cavalrymen in red and black armor carried billowing smoke and dust from the other side of the canyon in a torrent!
It moves like a wind, and it doesn't move like a mountain.
The cavalry on the opposite side restrained their horses when they were less than 100 meters away from Luo Xia and the others, and their movements were neat and orderly, except for the sand and dust that continued to sweep forward, there was no noise at all.
Apart from... The hundreds of disheveled people who followed behind were still babbling there, and it took a long time to appease their respective mounts. Then the two leaders, one fat and one thin, cautiously bypassed the military formation with a slaughtered face, walked out with a few subordinates from both sides, and smirked at Luo Xia.
It was Sister Fat and Wang Yiqi, the two former bandit group leaders who had taken refuge in the Green Forest Chamber of Commerce before...
I haven't seen him for half a year, and it's not necessarily too much.
"Alliance leader, you're here."
"Alliance leader."
Luo Xia nodded at them, then asked the two to return to the team, and led everyone towards the officers who came out of the military formation.
"You're late." The officer's face was cold, and his tone was extremely cold, but Luo Xia was sure that he was not looking for trouble. Because of the person, he is a little familiar.
The officer's cold tone seemed to be saying something insignificant: "On this trade route, more than 1,800 bandits, big and small, have all been killed and dispersed, and it will be yours in the future." By the way, I would like to remind you that those who have escaped will be your business in the future. If it's okay, go first. ”
"Don't do that, Boss Situ. I haven't seen you for two years, so let's get together. Luo Xia hurried forward and approached Situ Gang's side. This big guy is already the current commander of the Black Scale Army Cavalry Regiment. Luo Xia also learned by chance that his old acquaintance was also following Zhu Weisi.
"Not available."
"So... Isn't it going to be reciprocated for saving your life? ”
“…”
In this world, how can there be such shameless people? Situ Gang was a little suspicious of life, if he knew that the person in front of him was not such a thing, he should have been killed directly when he was in the dungeon.
His face shook a few times, and Situ Gang craned his neck and scolded in a low voice: "I... Didn't it help you train your rabble? ”
Of course, Luo Xia knew that he was talking about the rabble that still came from time to time behind the military formation. These people are none other than a group of elite bandits who were carefully selected from the official Green Forest Alliance and were willing to follow him out of the Shadow Song Forest.
"It's been less than ten days, and they can barely ride a horse, and if they want to mess around, won't they be sent to death?" Luo Xia replied dissatisfiedly: "Boss Situ, you can't be so foolish!" In this way, you continue to work the grass, and the grass is enough for 180 days, and we will be cleared. ”
Situ Gang's face was cold, and the cold words were almost squeezed out of his teeth: "Okay, I'll take the people away." We are not responsible for how much we can get back. ”
Swift and resolute, coming and going like the wind, just as a rumbling comes, it also rumbles, leaving only the wreckage all over the ground.
In addition to eating a gray face, there are also the members of the Green Forest Alliance led by Wang Yiqi and Fat Sister, in addition to the resentful eyes. Luo Xia's only gain was a groveling Montenegrin guide.
Under the careful guidance of the guide, the group made their way through the Black Trail, marking several important junctions along the map, as well as 'fjords' where they could take shelter in case of harsh conditions.
Then we came to the end of the other end.
There, a simple rockfill pass appeared in view, but at this moment, except for a few remaining corpses, it was already empty...
This is the intersection between the barren stone plateau and the country of Montenegro, the terrain of Montenegro is quite high, although it is not as 'eye-catching' as the barren stone plateau, but the wind on the plateau is much weaker here.
"Out of this pass, 20 miles to the northeast, is the land that the lord has demarcated for you, which was originally a small town... But the war before that..."
The guide glanced at Luo Xia with some trepidation, and the group of companions behind him who were fierce and vicious. As an ordinary person who eats with a mouth, the killing and tragedy along the way before have already scared him out.
As for the lord of the country he said, it is naturally Zhu Weisi. Although he claims to be the Count of Montenegro, in fact, as an existence that occupies the entire country of Montenegro and is trying to continue to expand its territory, it is not abrupt to be called the lord of the country.
Different from the barrenness on the other side, the country of Montenegro is not abrupt because of its higher terrain, and the connection with the barren stone plateau does not seem abrupt, although it is still a little barren, but it is much better than the barren stone set hundreds of miles away.
Luo Xia naturally wouldn't embarrass a guide, but when he saw the devastated town, he couldn't help but feel a bit of guilt.
This is too broken!
Windfall Town.
Located in the southwesternmost corner of Montenegro, although it is a border town, it was originally prosperous because of its geographical location.
On one side, retail investors can cross the mountains and enter the Shadow Song Forest to do some small business with the people of southern Xinjiang. On the other side, directly facing the Black Gathering Thoroughfare, traders from various countries gather and distribute here, although it exacerbates the chaos here, but also brings rich profits.
However, with the invasion of the Black Scale Army two months ago, the entire Fengkou Town, as the existence of the cusp of the storm, has turned into white land!
No wonder Zhu Weisi was so generous and gave this piece of 'fat meat' directly to himself!
It's a lot of open space!
Nothing but a few empty-eyed, nervous survivors!
The guide fled as if he were leaving, but Luo Xia and the others had to face the cruel reality and stay to rebuild Fengkou Town. If he had known, he would not have let Situ Gang take away the group of men who had been transformed into horse bandits.
Luo Xia found an empty house that could barely live in people, and then began to arrange the division of labor.
"Tree people, half go to the wood, half to hunt, well... The movement is small, and something is communicated through the shadow. Jiaojiao and Yiyi, the two of you are responsible for cleaning the house, and Green Head and Wood go around the nearby mountains and forests to see if you can find survivors. Kuikui, you repair the house, plug the leaky place, and there must be a place to sleep at night. Oh, and by the way, build a stable and get out. ”
A few of his companions were not happy: "Then what are you doing!" ”
"I'm going... Well, I, I have something particularly important..."
The green head sneered: "Hmph, say, what's important." ”
"Anyway, it's a very important thing, by the way, our organization doesn't have a name yet, I have to think of one!"
Jiaojiao pouted: "Is it difficult to think of a name?" ”
Everyone nodded frantically with a look of horror.
Jiaojiao: "..."
A bunch of scumbags!
Since everyone has no opinion, they naturally do their part.
Luo Xia stayed in the corner for a long time, but still couldn't think of a satisfactory name, so he simply gave up.
He did his best.
So, I started wandering along the abandoned town in search of inspiration.
After walking a few steps, a crazy woman ran over and began to sing and dance around him, muttering something like 'kill, rob... Run...'
A sigh makes people helpless.
These are troubled times.
Speaking of which, Luo Xia is even an accomplice. It was in order to take revenge on Ying Ge and the anger of being used as a pawn that tricked Zhu Weisi into embarking on the road of splitting, which led to the current tragedy.
But, to put it mildly. Such tragedies occur almost all the time between the chaotic eastern and western kingdoms. With the arrival of the Xeno-Invasion, this chaos will even spread across the board...
He's just a wave that drifts with the flow...
Holding down the crazy woman's head, the spiritual power in Luo Xia's eyes overflowed like substance.
