I don't know if I'm afraid of strongmen on the road, or I'm afraid of Zhang Yao's nominal brother Dracula.

In short, in the midst of a burst of chickens and dogs, when Zhang Yao left the city, there were two thousand more escorts on the left and right of the carriage. What's even more speechless is that if it weren't for Zhang Yao's repeated blocking, I'm afraid the number of people would have doubled several times.

Today's Rising Sun Empire is not strong, with a population of just over 300,000 and fewer than 30,000 soldiers.

This time, one-tenth of the troops had already gathered around Zhang Yao, and the only two generals, Yan Junping and Jiang Yan, asked to follow Zhang Yao out of the city to escort them, and they did not give an inch for a while.

"Your Majesty, I, Yan Junping, have the courage of ten thousand people, so you can tell me to go with you, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured!"

Yan Junping is a veteran who looks like he is in his fifties, although his hair is a little gray, but every word is like Hong Zhong Da Lu ringing in his ears, just listening to the voice, you can know that this person is a brave general.

"Your Majesty, General Yan is responsible for the defense of the city, and it must not be moved lightly. And as a palace guard, I must not let His Majesty be suspected alone! ”

Jiang Yan is also not far behind, this Jiang Yan is in his thirties with a delicate face, and his silver armor is difficult to stop the demeanor of a Confucian general, and he looks like a learned person.

The two generals Yan and Jiang held their own views and argued endlessly, and two thousand men and horses gathered around Zhang Yao's carriage and laughed and watched the two generals fight, only Zhang Yao was one head and two big.

"Two generals, this is not going out of the city to fight, what are you worried about! This Netherworld Castle is only more than 200 miles away from the imperial city, and it won't take the sunrise tomorrow to come and go, can this king still be taken captive! ”

Seeing the two generals vying to escort him out of the city, although Zhang Yao was pleased, he couldn't cry or laugh. In the end, he could only wave his hand and drive the two back in the form of a military order.

"Let's go!"

Hundreds of cavalry flanked the carriage, followed by more than a thousand infantry. Zhang Yao stood on the carriage and ordered the whole army to march, and a team of more than 2,000 people marched out of the city.

Walking on the path outside the city, Zhang Yao's eyes turned. As far as the eye can see, a volcano looms in the mountains, which is the Doomsday Volcano in Sauron's home base.

Zhang Yao looked at the looming volcano a little distracted, he didn't know if the Fellowship of the Ring Expedition was formed at this moment, and how much time was left for him to accumulate strength.

"The Fellowship of the Ring, the Lord of the Rings!"

Zhang Yao looked down at his finger and suddenly felt that the ring that symbolized supremacy must be very suitable for him.

"Speed up the march, we will meet in the Nether Castle!" Zhang Yao gave an order, and the carriage and cavalry team suddenly galloped wildly.

More than a thousand infantry looked at the carriage and cavalry standing stunned, and only after a moment did they remember to chase desperately, but how could these two legs outrun four legs.

Without the drag of the infantry, the speed of the march increased significantly. In an hour's effort, he had already traveled more than 200 miles, and by the time he stopped, he had already entered a forest.

As the cavalry broke into the forest, bats erupted in the woods.

Countless bats were densely entrenched above everyone's heads, and their scarlet eyes were full of bloodthirst.

"Your Majesty, as long as you walk through the woods, we will reach the Nether Castle!" The coachman in the carriage, wielding a whip to drive away the bats.

One by one, hundreds of horsemen turned over and dismounted, and except for a few who were in charge of the horses, all of them gathered around the carriage as guards.

It was not a good idea to gallop through the woods in the middle of the night, as the cavalry present were elite, and they knew that their greatest duty was to protect the Emperor, not to go on a rampage on horseback.

Everyone gathered around Zhang Yao's carriage and continued to move forward, as the forest continued to deepen, the trees on both sides gradually became scarce, even the occasional few towering trees, all of which had yellowed leaves and extremely strange shapes.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the swarm of bats entrenched above everyone's heads still did not disperse. After watching this anomaly, a sharp-eyed soldier approached the carriage and whispered to Zhang Yao, who was sitting in the carriage: "Your Majesty, these bats seem to have been domesticated by people, and they have been following us all along!" ”

With the soldier's report, the curtain on the carriage was gently opened by Zhang Yao. Zhang Yao poked his head out and looked into the air, and found that there were countless bats wandering densely in the sky, and there were no less than tens of thousands of them at a glance.

"Do you know me?"

Looking at the group of bats covering the sky, Zhang Yao slowly spoke, and then the performance of these bats was equally surprising.

Bats surrounded the carriage as if they were observing who was sitting in it, refusing to leave no matter how the soldiers drove them.

"Go, go and tell my dear brother, that I have come to see him!"

After a sentence, Zhang Yao lowered the curtain, and countless soldiers looked at all this in a daze, and found that there was really a fat bat that broke away from the bat group with Zhang Yao's words, flapping its wings and flying into the distance.

"These bats are so smart, they seem to be able to understand His Majesty's words!"

A young soldier laughed quietly as he watched the bat disappear in the distance, and then a veteran soldier warned: "Be quiet, these bats are magic bats, and legend has it that they all live by sucking human blood!" ”

"No, it won't!" After listening to the old soldier's words, the young soldier shrank his neck in fright. Looking at the group of bats, I saw that these bats were looking fierce one by one, as if they were staring at their prey again.

"Squeak!"

The mouse-like cries echoed through the woods, and the fat fat bat went back and forth to the call, and after a moment of wandering, landed firmly on the roof of the carriage.

After the fat bat fell, it kept chirping in its mouth, as if it was giving orders.

After hearing the strange chirp, the bats entrenched in the sky immediately turned around, and slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes with the sound of fluttering wings.

As soon as the tens of thousands of bats left, the soldiers present breathed a sigh of relief. One of these bats was twice as large as ordinary bats, and their scarlet eyes made their scalps numb, and they looked like a group of ghosts in the dark, and even they professional soldiers couldn't help but be afraid.

The departure of the huge group of bats was only a small episode, and after more than ten minutes of walking, the Netherworld Castle belonging to Dracula finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This is a black castle, at a glance, in addition to the floor area, it is still somewhat similar to the Imperial City of Zhang Yao Rising Sun.

Outside the castle there was a large tree with all its leaves gone, and its yellow leaves were in tatters and covered the ground. The carriage made a clicking sound against it, and then slowly stopped.

"Yes, it's quiet!" As the carriage stopped, Zhang Yao walked out of the carriage while looking around and nodded slightly.

Hundreds of soldiers lit torches in unison with Zhang Yao's appearance, surrounded Zhang Yao one by one, protected Zhang Yao's three layers in the middle, and looked around with a wary expression.

"What for! It's my own brother who lives here, so will he be bad for me! ”

Zhang Yao, who was surrounded in the middle, held the scepter and snorted coldly, these soldiers didn't know what they were facing, but Zhang Yao knew that this was Dracula, the vampire earl.

Who is Dracula, that is an out-and-out immortal king. Zhang Yao knew what he was facing, and he also knew that the appearance of these soldiers as if they were facing a great enemy was not only useless, but would make Dracula look down on him.

Hundreds of soldiers divided a path according to Zhang Yao's order, and Zhang Yao strode in with the king's scepter in his hand, and walked into the castle first.

"Crunch" At the moment when Zhang Yao walked into the castle, the gate of the castle slowly opened.

In the open door, a young man with a pale face looked at Zhang Yao quietly. The man was dressed in a black gold-rimmed robe, and his golden hair concealed his red pupils, giving people a sense of an alternative charm at first sight.

"Friendly!"

The moment he saw Dracula appear, Zhang Yao laughed. He knew he hadn't come in vain today, because the friendliness had spoken for itself.

"My dear brother, I am glad to see you again!" With a smile on his face, Zhang Yao greeted him enthusiastically with open arms.

Dracula took two steps back under Zhang Yao's warm embrace, stayed on the scepter with his eyes firmly for a moment, and then took two steps back to let go of Zhang Yao's hug, and looked at Zhang Yao quietly: "Big brother, you have finally realized your dream and become an emperor!" As for me, I still have nothing. I can only stand on the ground and watch you spread your wings and fly high! ”

"Dingtone targets have undergone a dramatic shift in their attitude towards their hosts, and are currently 'disgusted'."
