Chapter 30: Phoenix Nirvana------ White Face

Zhang Huen and Idea respectively rode a thin horse and walked in the snow field outside the city wall, the fluff on the body of this northern Xinjiang pony is very thick, and there is no need to worry about the heat being lost too quickly in the low temperature state, Zhang Huen and Idea are wearing a thick leather jacket in addition to winter clothes, although it is bulky but outside the city wall, it is not too difficult to save their lives, as long as they are not entangled by the four catastrophes of severe cold, ice wind, beasts, and barbarians, it is not too difficult to cross the snow field.

Nine Toes gave them supplies for only five days, and they had to get food and fresh water from various hidden relay stations before they could continue to explore the snowy fields, and their first stop was the beachhead that had been lost for decades, the two hid their horses in the forest, and walked along the snowy ridge to the beachhead, the first hidden supply point was the long cart wall outside the beachhead, it is said that hundreds of years ago, this was still a chariot workshop used to make restrained cavalry, but now, it is nothing more than a ruin.

"There are very few guards today, huh?"

Idea and Zhang Huen hid in the ruins of the long car wall to dig up the food and weapon supplies buried by the gray robes, it was difficult for the barbarians to detect the unique marks of the gray robes, because the gray robes rarely surrendered to the cannibalistic barbarians, unless their wizard came to dig out some useful information from the mouth of the gray robe, but this kind of hidden materials that often changed the way of secret memorization and had to spend a lot of energy to search were not within their consideration, in the heads of the barbarians, there were no supplies for the winter, just go to the south to grab it.

Digging out a longbow wrapped in oilcloth and a pot of arrows, he glanced at the barbarian flag on the beachhead in the distance, and found that there was not a single guard on the ruined wall, and somewhat strangely muttered to himself, Zhang Huen dug out a huge cross badge shield, and under the shield was a large lump of dried horse meat. He cut off a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth, chewing vigorously for a long time without melting the stiff flesh.

"Phew! How many years has this been buried here? ”

"It won't be more than three years."

"Maybe. Maybe there's some palatable food in there? ”

“…… If I were you, I wouldn't have the idea of a beachhead, hey, wait for me. ”

Zhang Huen and Idea sneakily approached the beachhead, he took the huge shield with him, and touched the ruined gate of the beachhead with his sword in his right hand. The ruined iron door greeted them with an open mouth, and there was not the slightest movement except for the shriek of the wind blowing through the cracks.

"Perhaps, these barbarians have already withdrawn?"

The idea nodded, and the two of them felt into the beachhead, the huge obsidian building was littered with ruins, the sunlight shining through the cracks in the walls, and the ground was covered with nothing but obsidian everywhere, wood chips and rotting crates.

"It's the supplies left over from the first expedition. None of them can be used. ”

Idea pulled out a rusty sword from the crate and said to Zhang Huen:

"Let's go, there's nothing here but death and corruption."

"You're wrong, I'm afraid there's something here."

The idea walked to the corner where Zhang Huen was standing, and looked up to see that the stone staircase between the ascending passage and the descending passage in the fortress was full of corpses, judging by the outfits in front of them and the gray robes on their bodies. All are members of the Rangers.

"Lord God, how did they come here?"

"Shh

Zhang Huen pointed to the stone staircase facing down. The idea listened quietly, and the loud sound of a whip slamming into the ground came through the deep, dark tunnel. Idea immediately put the longbow on his back, followed Zhang Huen, and walked down the corpse.

Passing through the two stairs, the two groping in the dark spotted the faint light of the fire in front of them, and a complaining voice came from the corner ahead:

"I said, it's time to go. If you continue to toss like this, you won't be able to ask anything, and if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to keep up with the pace of the pioneers. ”

"Shut up, this son of Count Ruth must know the deployment of the Jackal Duke's forces. After giving it to me for a long time, I didn't believe that I couldn't pry out the secrets in his head. ”

"Okay, he's just an abandoned little guy, how can he know...... Who? ”

Zhang Huen and the strong man guarding the door who rushed out of the darkness were startled, and the long sword in his hand slashed at Zhang Huen's giant shield and splashed a trace of sparks, Zhang Huen used the giant shield to push him backwards, and suddenly retreated to the interrogator holding the whip.

"Gray robe!"

The interrogator screamed, and the three barbarians who were sleeping soundly in the corner of the wall immediately got up, and hurriedly began to rummage through their weapons, Zhang Huen cut off the interrogator's head with a sword, and then flew out with a shield, and threw the long sword in his hand, hitting one of the barbarians in the chest, he took off the longbow, and shot the big man who was knocked into the air to death while Zhang Huen rushed towards the remaining two barbarians.

"Whoosh!"

One of the remaining two barbarians was shot in the thigh, knelt on one knee and fended off Zhang Huen's two-handed sword with a hand axe, while the other threw a hand axe at Zhang Huen and fled towards the entrance of the cell. Zhang Huen cut the barbarian who was kneeling on one knee into two with a sword, and then turned around and shouted at the idea of using arrows:

"Stay alive!"

The bowstring in Idea's hand swished, and the feathered arrow burrowed into the runaway's ass, and the brute fell to the ground with a scream, struggling to crawl outside. Zhang Huen threw away the long sword that cut two gaps, walked over and single-handedly lifted the barbarian who had been hit by the arrow in the buttocks, still on the ground, with his right foot on his chest, looking at the environment in the cell.

There were four ragged gray robes on a bloodstained stone wall, and one of the four people, except for Wenders, whose face was covered with blood, was still panting, and the other three people had already lowered their heads weakly, and quickly checked the four of them, and used the key on the interrogator to open Wenders's shackles, for the other three, he just shook his head helplessly at Zhang Huen.

"I'm going to kill...... Kill this writ! ”

Wenders, who had been put down, reached out and touched his axe from the ground, and then staggered towards the barbarian on the ground, and grabbed his hand and said:

"Wait until you're done asking him to deal with ......"

"Do you know what they've done? Do you know! They gouged out my eyes and crushed them in their mouths like jelly beans, and those were my eyes! My eyes! ”

Zhang Huen and Idea only then realized that the crazy Wenders only had a blood hole left in his left eye, and he waved his axe to hack the barbarian to death, but Zhang Huen blocked his attack with a giant shield. Another fan knocked him to the ground to the side.

"Wenders, don't force me to kill you, give me peace now!"

Zhang Huen's words quieted Wenders, and he sat on the ground with his axe in his hand, his only remaining right eye staring at the barbarian on the ground, and Zhang Huen looked back at the barbarian. He wore a necklace made of fresh human ears around his neck, and Zhang Huen felt disgusted in his heart, grabbed the barbarian's right ear with his right hand, and said:

"Do you like torturing people's flesh...... Do you like it? ”

"Ah~"

The barbarian covered his cheek with his hand, and put the right ear that was forced to die by Zhang Huen to his mouth, Zhang Huen looked at his face full of pain and fear, and said:

"Don't you like to eat human flesh, give it to me, you eat it for me!"

"Woo woo woo~"

Seeing that Zhang Huen forcibly stuffed his ears into his mouth, the barbarian who was about to hold his breath had already collapsed a little. He stopped Zhang Huen's violence, he walked over and squatted in front of the barbarian, saw him retching and spit out his ears, and said with a smile:

"Brother of the barbarians, I advise you to tell us the truth what you know, so that we can at least save a lot of trouble, and you can suffer less torture."

"Ash ...... Gray robes. I...... I'm not going to sue you...... Ah~"

The dagger in Idea's hand was inserted into his back, and he was seen to lean tenderly against the barbarian's only left left ear and whisper:

"You know. Earl Ruth's trick is peeling, and I've done some research on Ruby Bay's peeling skills, and they'll make a slit in your back and then pour mercury into your skin and muscles, and it will make you itch, you think. What should I do if it's so itchy, it just so happens that there is a slit on my back, so you drill and drill, and you don't even want the skin to drill out! Tsk, but I don't have mercury in my hand. What should I do, then I'll take my time......"

The idea of peeling and intimidating broke through the barbarian's psychological defense line very smoothly, and after he gorgeously peeled off a piece of slap-sized skin on the barbarian's arm, the barbarian cried and honestly confessed.

Their team of 6,000 men received an order to set off from the beachhead a month ago, and rushed to the gray coast with a meal and a campy night, and the rangers who were dragged home by the Supu giants immediately fell into the danger of being attacked from both sides, and after the rangers left most of the corpses and prisoners, the eagle fled north with seven or eight horsemen, and the pursuit was fully handed over to the Supu giants, and they returned to the beachhead with the captives, and the interrogators began to interrogate more than two hundred captives day and night, Hoping to get the most effective way to climb over the ice wall, three days ago, a squad leader confessed an abandoned pit for smuggling under the double blow of torture and beauty temptation, and the large army all set off to the loophole of the ice wall after resting for half a day, preparing to bypass the ice wall in one fell swoop, seize the black city, and use the black city as a bridgehead for the barbarian army to go south, completely destroying the first line of defense of the Jackal Duke.

When Zhang Huen heard such news, he glanced at the idea, and the idea understood, stood up and threw the dagger in his hand to Wenders, and said:

"You can slowly experience the thrill of revenge with a dagger, and if you want to end this qiē quickly, you can also use the axe in your hand."

Wenders picked up the dagger, weighed it with the hand axe in his hand, smiled and walked towards the barbarian with two weapons, listening to the constant screams coming from the cell, Zhang Huen and Idea stood outside the cell and whispered discussions.

"If this is true information, we should immediately rush back to Heicheng to report to the chief and remind him to guard against barbarian aggression!"

Zhang Huen looked at the idea, thinking about how to take away this insecurity factor, but the idea did not consider that aspect at all, but said:

"No, we should continue to set off towards the royal court according to the original plan, now should be the time for the barbarian army to dispatch the whole army, and the royal court's defense is also in the weakest stage, this is our chance."

"But what about Heicheng, we can't get rid of the nest, otherwise, you go back and report to the chief, and I will go north alone to continue the assassination mission."

"Commander, you may not know, the defense of the Black City is not as weak as it seems, even if the barbarians touch the back of the Black City, they don't want to attack it lightly, it is a great building that has stood in the north for hundreds of years, and its walls have been enchanted by the ancient sages, which can prevent evil and conspiracy."

“…… Well, let's continue north. But I'll make it clear beforehand that if you encounter a large army of barbarians, I don't have the extra energy to take care of you. ”

"Don't worry, Commander, I said that I have the ability to protect myself."

The screaming in the cell finally stopped, and Wenders came out with a bloody axe, and the two looked at him, who was in very poor physical condition, but mentally restored. He closed his left eye and said to Zhang Huen and Idea:

"I know there's a path to Brown Pig's relay station, and I still have an account to settle with him!"

"I think you should go back and report it immediately......"

"No, Lord Earl is in the north, I will go to the north, I will not go back without seeing Lord Earl!"

"Look at the way you look now, no one is a ghost, how far do you think you can follow us......"

Zhang Huen was stunned, because he saw Wenders slash the blade of his axe across his palm, and the little white face yelled at him with a hideous expression:

"I am a Ranger, a Ranger who never gives up, a Ranger who never abandons his companions, that former Wenders is dead, I am now a gray robe and white face, I have the obligation and responsibility to save my companions!" (To be continued......)
