Chapter 39: The Giving of the Sword
The air was filled with an increasingly intense, choking smell of burning, and the Star Sword Canyon was just at the upwind outlet, so people had to suspect that something was wrong with the Star Sword Canyon, and after learning of the situation, he ordered to hurry up and gallop towards the Star Sword Canyon as fast as possible
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and everyone could see several puffs of smoke rising from the Star Sword Canyon, and when they entered the forest on the outskirts of the canyon, they saw scorched marks everywhere, which showed that there had been a raging fire here, and it would definitely not be natural to burn the forest into such a fire in such a cold winter
Just as they were shocked by the qiē in front of them, four figures suddenly burst out from the bushes next to them
The intrusion of the unrestrained guest made the nerves of the warriors in the team tense instantly, and they drew their bows and arrows to aim at the comer
Don't let go of the arrows, those four people raised their hands high to show that there is no hostility, we are the warriors of the Bali tribe, please ask if you are alone with the leaders of the tribes
The warrior of the Bali tribe immediately stepped forward to take a closer look at the four men in front of him, only to see that their hair was unkempt, their faces were gray and black, and their clothes were covered with large and small burned-through holes - it was difficult to associate them with the warriors with such dignity
When Shan Yu's team returned to the Star Sword Canyon with the four people, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them
The entire Star Sword Canyon is like a tent dotted with ruins after the war. Half of the wooden houses were turned into piles of black coke, and most of the cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock were burned to death for the winter; compared with the loss of property and human life, the casualties were even more deplorable, and nearly 3,000 of the 20,000 Da Meng people who lived in the canyon for a long time and the 10,000 allied troops of various ethnic groups who were temporary guests were killed in the flames, and countless people were injured in the fire, some of them held the charred corpses of their family members and wept bitterly; some people looked at the destroyed homes and wept sadly; and some people squatted in front of the burned livestock pens and looked indifferently at the charred livestock...... The entire Star Sword Canyon was filled with a gloomy mist
As soon as the people who were still alive saw Shan Yu, they immediately surrounded him and cried to him about what happened here......
It turned out that the rebellion that occurred in the barracks that day, the culprit Zhi Zhizhi was defeated and captured, and the ten young killers who were absolutely loyal to him, 5 of them were killed that night, 3 were captured by their partners, and the remaining two fish that slipped through the net were missing, but afterwards, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups sent people to search everywhere, however, these teenagers were trained as professional assassins since childhood, their hiding skills were quite good, the coalition forces of all ethnic groups searched for several days and did not find them, plus their master Zhi Zhizhi bones have been arrested, most people think that the two of them can not make any waves, so the two killers were forgotten, but they did not expect this negligence to lay the root of today's disaster
Just like Joyka lurking in the military camp that day, the two young killers have been hiding in the coalition army since the night of the failed rebellion, and the two have been holding back for so many days, waiting for the opportunity, after the army came to the base camp of the Da Meng clan - Star Sword Canyon, Shan Yu led a large number of people out of the canyon and went to the place where they assassinated Tijucheer that day, and the two young killers knew that the golden opportunity had finally arrived
Zhizhi bones were all sealed in ice, and the three captured killers were chained and imprisoned in cages, although there were nearly 30,000 guards, but Shan Yu had taken away most of the powerful masters, and the rest of them were only numerically advantageous, not to mention that the most troublesome foreigners also followed Shan Yu to join in the fun, especially the fat magician who could manipulate the freezing gas, he was the biggest obstacle to rescuing Zhizhi bones, and now these obstacles do not exist, and the two of them took advantage of the night with a large number of saltpeter, sulfur, and White phosphorus set fires everywhere, because the Xingjian Canyon was relatively warm, there was no snow in the valley, and there were many fire points, the fire spread quickly, and the sudden fire woke up the Dameng people and the allied forces of various ethnic groups in order to save the lives of their property, livestock and compatriots trapped by the fire, and the Xingjian Canyon was suddenly in chaos
Taking advantage of everyone's attention attracted by the fire, the two young killers quietly approached the cage where the three companions were imprisoned, in front of the superb assassination skills, more than a dozen guards didn't even see the appearance of the enemy before they died, the three assassins who were captured regained their freedom, and the power of the prisoners was even stronger, these five people went to rescue the master while expanding the fire and creating chaos, they killed the guards guarding the Zhizhi bone capital, and used the heat of the flame to melt the ice that imprisoned the master, and after a few minutes, the cold and shivering Zhi Zhi bones fell to the ground......
At this time, the allied forces of all ethnic groups also discovered this situation, and they immediately surrounded and killed Zhi Zhigu and his five subordinates, two young killers were shot into hedgehogs by arrows flying in the sky, at this dangerous juncture, the one-eyed man who frightened all the male and female people finally recovered, and the Zhizhi bones were consumed, and a snake head tattoo was burned on his back, and dozens of warriors were killed in the face of the invincible iron wall;
Thousands of troops chased after them, and Zhizhi Zhiji fled into the Silver Wind Taiga Forest with three young killers, and in the process of escaping, two more killers were killed, and finally Zhizhi Zhiji took the last remaining killer to hide in a cave
Although all the people in the pursuing troops hated Zhi Zhi to the core, and they all wanted to pick his skin alive, but they surrounded the cave but did not dare to enter, although there were thousands of chasing soldiers, but the entrance of the cave was very narrow, only allowing one person to enter and exit, easy to defend and difficult to attack; and although Zhi Zhi Gu was weakened under the influence of cold air, he could still use two invincible iron walls, rash attack, no different from sending him to death
So the pursuers set fire to the outside of the cave entrance, trying to force Zhi Zhigu and the killer out with thick smoke and fire, but after four hours, the fire in the Star Sword Canyon was finally extinguished, and the fire near the cave entrance was naturally extinguished, but Zhi Zhiji and his men were never seen escaping from the cave
Could it be that there are other exits in the cave, in order to confirm these speculations, the pursuing troops sent the bravest warriors to brave the baking residual heat to venture deep into the cave to investigate, and it is gratifying that there is no other exit from this cave, and they also found two charred and tired corpses in the cave, one of which was 2 meters high, and there was no eyeball in the right eye, apparently these two corpses were Zhi Zhigudu and his men, and the two of them would rather die than surrender, and finally died in the raging fire
After listening to the stories of his compatriots, Una Guyi was furious and swung his knife to cut a wooden stake: Zhizhi Gudu, that bastard is dying, and he has brought so many disasters to us
Carrying his body back and tearing him to pieces was carried out by someone in the crowd
Is it just to shredd, to cut into minced meat, each person to share a piece raw, someone shouted
A few extremes even turn their hatred away from the innocent: the Antar should be slaves of the Seven Great Clans until they have atoned for the sins of their leaders
How can you say that, we Anta have long since drawn a line with the Zhizhi bones, and we are also working hard to put out the fire
See, the Anta still want to shirk their responsibilities
Nonsense: We are also victims
The rift arose between the two men and quickly expanded into the internal strife of the entire clan, and the seven clans soon surrounded the Anta clan, and saw that a tense civil war was about to break out
Enough is enough, Shan Yu rode a horse and rushed to the middle of the Anta tribe, looking around, the vast number of people, Haizhi's bones have brought too many sacrifices to our male people, and now this root of all evil has been subdued, at this time, do we still have to continue to shed blood for the lost dog
Shan Yu's angry rebuke was like thunder on the ground, and the crowd around him suddenly quieted down, suppressing the scene with his prestige, and after Shan Yu jumped off the horse, moved his old body trembling and walked forward, the crowd automatically separated into an aisle, and someone wanted to step forward to support Lao Shan Yu, but he stopped the old man with gestures, and the old man came to a ruin, kneeling down on his knees
The tens of thousands of male servants present also followed, and Shan Yu knelt down one after another, and only 9 foreign guests were still standing
I didn't think that I would be like this after only one day of leaving, just grabbing the charred dirt on the ground and throwing it into the sky, and let out a heart-rending cry: Eagle, father, wolf, mother, why do we have to go through this catastrophe, if I do something wrong and must suffer this punishment, let me bear all the punishment alone, please don't blame my people again
The Eagle Father was on the Wolf Mother, and tens of thousands of males prayed in unison
Sophia and the other 9 people were also deeply moved by this scene, and the mainstream society of the Holy Light Cult described this nomadic people from the East as a blood-licking, scab-licking, dirty, rude, and uncivilized foreigner, and used the insulting title of barbarian; The passionate refusal to accept the weak and decaying soul is, in a way, more noble than the sanctimonious nobles and clergy
Warrior Owen, please come over, Shan Yu stood up, and his tearful face was full of exhaustion
Shan Yu asked what he commanded, Owen came to Shan Yu's side and asked
I am old and tired, and I am powerless to lead the Xiong Yan clan, and only under the leadership of the best warriors can we get out of the predicament, so - Shan Yu Feng took out the meteorite treasure knife in the black iron scabbard like a god, and sent the treasure knife to Owen with trembling hands, and the eagle father is on the wolf mother, as evidence, today I lie on the wood, and give Owen the token of the first warrior in the name of Shan Yu, the seventh member of the Silanxia Xiong clan, and from now on, you are the first warrior of our Xiong Yan people.
