Pouring a jar of old wine from Xinghua Village into his stomach, Zhou Yue's strength continued to recover, and his whole person became a little dizzy. [Sogou,360,sososearch|novel free download novel] [debut]

Fortunately, with his current physique, he would not get drunk directly, and when his strength was fully restored, he would start the fourth refining of the Ice Demon Spear again.

And this time refining, the price is really huge, 50 pieces of intermediate forging steel are needed, 20 metallic stones, 500 points of strength, and 100 points of gun soul.

Zhou Yue was secretly speechless, but there was no way, this is the price of high-quality weapons that want to be improved.

And with the determination in his heart, he felt that a hellish abyss seemed to be cracked above the ice demon spear, and a huge suction force directly swallowed his whole person, this feeling is difficult to describe, the last moment, he was still in high spirits, and his body had inexhaustible strength, but the next moment, his limbs were weak, his bones were crispy, and he was sick, almost fainting.

However, this state could not be interrupted, Zhou Yue could only hold on, until the pieces of intermediate forging steel continued to turn into rays of light and merge into the Ice Demon Spear, and after the last ten minutes, as the light on the body of the Ice Demon Lance shone brightly, the entire refining process was terminated.

At this time, Zhou Yue hurriedly went to see the effect of this refining, as he expected, it cost so much, the fourth-star refining of this Ice Demon Spear was really worth it, and all attributes increased by 40 points each.

So far, just these four refinements have increased the basic attributes of the Ice Demon Lance by 600 points, thus becoming HP +600, Strength +200, Strength +400, Agility +180, Defense +200, and Attack +400.

At this time, Zhou Yue could no longer refin, not only because his strength was only 106 points left, but also because his gun soul was completely depleted, which he had accumulated in the past ten days.

With a greeting and the twenty guards on guard, Zhou Yue finally lost his strength and fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again and looked up, he found that it was already full of stars, and in the middle of the night, after a little calculation, he actually slept for twelve hours, which was really refreshing, not only the alcohol was completely gone, but also the strength was all restored.

Walking out, before he could stretch his waist, he saw that Chu Liuyun was already walking around outside, extremely bored, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled obscenely: "Brother Zhou, I have an idea." ”

"What thoughts? Didn't I tell you to secretly watch the old shopkeeper of the neutral firm? Zhou Yue said disapprerovingly, he had touched a small soft nail in the neutral firm before, but he was also unwilling, especially when he heard that the old shopkeeper said that he was going to deliver goods elsewhere, so he ordered Chu Liuyun to take charge of this matter and see when the goods of the neutral firm departed? By the way, how many guards are there in the neutral firm?

"Hey, Brother Zhou, you don't know, that old fox is too cunning, it's been a whole day, and I haven't seen any movement, so I thought, will the old fox be waiting for us to retreat, I think, why don't we stay in this Jinzhou City and not leave, I don't believe it, there is no business to come to the door, he can survive us?" Chu Liuyun said with a strange smile, it was really that he was also very interested in the goods of the neutral trading house, and one of the gold-quality weapons made him hungry, if it weren't for Zhou Yue's strict order not to do it, maybe this kid would have the idea of robbery.

"Dreaming about you? Haven't woken up yet, have you? It's a bad idea! We have tens of thousands of people, just consuming that old thing, do you think it's worth it? Zhou Yue snorted, before the disaster, there was a saying that time is money, so now, time is strength.

Their team now has no advantage among the major forces, such as the Northeast Military Region and the Jingbei Military Region, which have grown into extremely powerful forces, and even Tang Kun has begun to catch up.

The old shopkeeper of the neutral firm can certainly be regarded as a side task, and he has nothing to do with it, but Zhou Yue thinks that it is meaningless, if the overall strength of the team he is now leading can dominate one side, and ensure that the neutral firm will obediently send it to the door, so it is a matter of putting the cart before the horse to please them now.

"That's it, don't worry, sooner or later, the neutral merchant will come to us in person to do business, gather everyone, and prepare to go!"

Zhou Yue gave an order, Chu Liuyun didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly took people to convey the information, in the past twelve hours, Zhou Yue was sleeping soundly, but the rest of the people were not lazy, after a little rest, everyone from top to bottom was hurrying up to train, even Liang Xiaoxue did not pester Zhou Yue, but started training alone, the reason was that Wang Zeng, who was also a hunter, put too much pressure on her.

In a short time, in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, the commanders of each battalion had already arrived quickly, and after a brief report by Liu Yue, they set off quickly.

This time, the number of Zhou Yue's team has increased a lot, and the marching army is also very particular.

Zhang Liang's scout battalion was not responsible for the main combat mission, but it was required to guard a 10-kilometer radius of the front and rear of the marching column, including the road ahead.

Then there is the cavalry battalion as the vanguard, the 1,500 cavalry is divided into three parts by Zhang Ying, the most elite 500 heavy armored lancers are closely followed by the scout battalion, they have the strongest strength, the most mobile speed, in charge of receiving those stragglers at the same time, but also need to fight at any time, can be called the pathfinder.

The five hundred cavalry were led by Hu Ke, who would set off from Zhang Liang's scout camp in advance, keeping a distance of five kilometers from the brigade, and then the remaining 1,000 cavalry, led by Zhang Ying.

These 1,000 cavalry will be responsible for supporting the 500 cavalry in front, and in the event of an encounter with the enemy, they will pounce as fast as possible, and at the same time, they will also maintain mobility and support the rear of the marching army at any time.

After the cavalry battalion, there are 2,000 elites of the heavy shield battalion, and 2,000 Shenji battalions, who will play the role of the Chinese army, and at the critical moment, when they are put into the battlefield, they must be decided.

After the Heavy Shield Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, there is Zhou Yue's personal guard battalion, but they also need to have higher mobility capabilities, not only need to quickly report the situation ahead to Zhou Yue, but also take on the responsibility of emergency rescue.

Behind this, there is the baggage camp, after the plundering in Jinzhou City, the baggage camp can be said to be full of oil, and the old man Deng is even more smiling, because the expansion of the baggage camp also means the expansion of the Deng family.

Like now, the total family base of the baggage battalion has included 30 catapults, 10 eight-ox crossbows, 5,000 horses, 1,000 carts, three intermediate craftsmen, 145 junior craftsmen, 450 craftsman apprentices, 6,500 coolies, plus more than 500 servants from the Deng family, and finally nearly 3,000 family members, these family members are Deng Jia's internal guard battalion, and also include all the surrendered soldiers, they will not be responsible for the main battle, the task is to protect all the materials of the baggage camp.

As for the last disconnection, it is the new barracks.

Of course, it must be a joke to rely on the recruit battalion with less than 1,000 people to break the queen, so Zhou Yue asked Mao Yu to lead a hundred members of the guard battalion to follow behind, plus some scouts, basically, there will be no big problem.

And this is Zhou Yue's total family background, an expeditionary team of nearly 20,000 people.

Therefore, he did not dare to be careless at all.

The original route of the march was to copy the lair of the Eight Banners Army, that is, Shenbei Heicheng, but later, after discussion, everyone still felt that at present, this difficulty was a bit big, even if the Eight Banners Army and the Northeast Military Region were currently in a stalemate in Tieling Heicheng, but Shenbei Heicheng must also be the most elite army of the Eight Banners Army, which is not cost-effective, especially when they dragged their families and mouths, at least nearly 10,000 non-combatants.

In the end, Zhou Yue and everyone determined that they would go all the way to the east, bypassing the black city of Shenbei, and by the way, they would rob all the black cities in the east, in short, in the shortest possible time, all the members who could participate in the battle would be promoted to level 30, so that their survival rate would be greatly improved, and the comprehensive strength of the entire team would be enough. Especially when they actually dared to join the revenge alliance organized by the eight major families of the Jin merchants.

Okay, there is no need for them to come to revenge, Zhou Yue is now going to find the door in person.

The marching sequence of nearly 20,000 people, coupled with the heavy snow blocking the road, the speed was naturally not fast, it took a whole day for Zhou Yue and them to arrive within the area of Panjin Black City, there were almost no accidents along the way, where the army passed, all the towns and counties where the Eight Banners Army was stationed were slaughtered, but this was really not enjoyable for everyone who was used to high-intensity combat.

Just when Zhou Yue was thinking about whether to take Panjin Black City overnight, the scout in front of him sent a message that he didn't expect.

"What do you say? Panjin Black City has been taken, how is it possible? ”

Zhou Yue and the others were stunned, originally according to the information provided by the Jingbei Military Region, it seems that the entire Northeast and North China region, the resistance forces that can be gathered, that is, a few, the rest such as Panjin, Yingkou, Dandong and other places, have long lost contact, it seems that even the local government has not survived, but it is unthinkable that another force has emerged here.

"Camp in place, keep your defenses, let's go take a look." Zhou Yue felt that it was better to go and see it in person, if Panjin Black City was really snatched back by human forces, it would also be a thing worth celebrating.

However, not long after walking forward, Zhang Liang walked over with two strangers dressed in strange white clothes.

"Brother Zhou, they claimed to be the envoys of the city lord of Shunyi City, and they came to negotiate with us." Zhang Liang's face was dark, and there was murder in his eyes when he looked at the two envoys, he was no longer the soldier who was very principled at the beginning, and in the past two months, he had experienced countless lives and deaths with the scout camp, which could be called a rare core figure on Zhou Yue's side.

Zhou Yue was curious about Zhang Liang's eccentricity, because these two envoys were just wearing the characteristic clothes of the Korean people, and they couldn't see anything in their attributes, and they were all genuine modern humans, and the only thing in their attributes was that they belonged to the forces of Shunyi City.

"Excuse me, are you the one in this group who can call the shots? We are the envoys of the city lord of Shunyi City, and now, by the order of the city lord King Gaozang, you are ordered not to enter the scope of Shunyi City, otherwise, you will bear the consequences! "The guy who is called the envoy is actually very courageous, and his eyes are looking directly at Zhou Yue, which is a bit of a strong iron backbone.

Zhou Yue was a little confused, glanced at Zhang Liang, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't it Panjin Black City in front? When did it become Shunyi City, and even if you snatched the city back, there is no reason not to allow others to enter, right? Your lord is King Gozo? What a strange name, but just because the name is weird doesn't mean he can be so arrogant? ”

"Humph! Bold, you dare to insult the Goguryeo royal family! As the envoy of the city lord, I order you to apologize immediately, otherwise, under the trampling of the iron hooves of my Goguryeo army, I can trample you to powder at any time! The envoy actually shouted excitedly, which made Zhou Yue feel more and more strange, this guy is not mentally ill, right? Or is arrogance a brain-dead?

At this time, He Qingming suddenly said on the side: "Brother Zhou, I think I know who King Gozang is, if I remember correctly, it should be the nephew of King Rongliu of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, but not King Gaozang, but called Gaozang, to be exact, he is a puppet under Yuangai Suwen, and also, our previous information may have been mistaken, and we have always thought that the Northeast is the world of the Eight Banners Army, in fact, from Panjin to Yingkou, and then to the Liaoyang line, it is the sphere of influence of the Goguryeo Kingdom, Now all the attention of the Eight Banners Army is focused on the Western Front, so they should take advantage of the situation to take down Panjin Black City in the past few days, and since this guy has become the King of Gaozang, it must be that Yuangai Suwen has already grasped the power. ”

"Oh? Yuan Gai Suwen? Zhou Yue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this is really a common-sense mistake, he originally thought that he had to cross Changbai Mountain to be able to confront Yuangai Suwen, but he didn't expect that Yuangai Suwen's territory was actually close at hand!

In the midst of this laughter, Zhou Yue took out the cold moon long knife, and without saying a word, he directly cut off the head of the envoy who was still loudly reprimanding, and then said coldly to the other trembling guy: "I need to know everything that has happened in the past two months, don't try to hide it, otherwise, you know the result very well!" ”
