The Wind Rises 156 Demon Beast Army
Subsequently, Chen Ning and the two envoys, under the leadership of the Gutong City Lord, came to an elegant hall, and the three of them walked on the road in the City Lord's Mansion in tattered clothes, which immediately attracted the attention of many patrol soldiers in the mansion, and they all cast surprised eyes, but no one dared to say anything.
Next, Chen Ning and the two envoys chatted in a quiet hall, and after some conversation, Chen Ning also knew the names of the two envoys, and also had some simple understanding of the temper of the two.
A pair of brothers of these two messengers, although the two are siblings of the same mother, but the personalities of the two are diametrically opposed, the gentle messenger is the elder brother, named Kajie, who is kind and kind, with a gentle appearance, and always has a gentle smile on his face, which makes people can't help but have a good feeling.
The other is Kata's younger brother, Kata, who is naturally cold and taciturn, with a cold face that rejects people thousands of miles away, and is not good at communicating with people.
During the chat, Kajie also raised questions about Chen Ning's identity from time to time, but Chen Ning deliberately avoided such topics and did not give a direct answer.
And Kajie also seemed to see that Chen Ning didn't want to answer this kind of question, so he didn't dwell on such issues, so as not to arouse Chen Ning's disgust, after all, after what happened in the garden, Kajie didn't dare to underestimate Chen Ning in his heart.
At this moment, Commander Wei Jie walked in quickly from the outside with a solemn expression, first saluted the two envoys, and then immediately bowed to the Gutong City Lord and said, "City Lord, I just received a secret report that the army of the Jason Kingdom has been dispatched and is marching in the direction of Taoliu City, and..."
Speaking of the back, Commander Wei Jie paused slightly, his eyes swept over the Gutong City Lord, whose face was gradually becoming a little solemn, and continued, "Moreover, there seems to be a big movement in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a large number of demon beasts have left the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and it seems that they are also rushing towards our Peach Willow City. ”
Hearing this, not only was the Gutong City Lord's face shocked, but even the two envoys, who had always had a plain look on their faces, were slightly stunned, with an unbelievable look on their faces.
Hearing Wei Jie's words later, the Gutong City Lord could no longer remain calm, and immediately stood up from his chair in shock, his face became extremely solemn, and he exclaimed, "What, all the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range have also come to our Taoliu City, how many are there?"
The tone of the Gutong City Lord was full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost, and the faces of the two envoys became extremely solemn at this moment, and even Chen Ning, who was sitting on the side, frowned slightly.
"It's a lot, it's a lot, it's impossible to calculate at all!" Commander Wei Jie's face was full of heaviness.
"Have you found any traces of fourth-order demon beasts? Kaje asked in a deep voice.
"Report to the envoy, our scouts don't dare to go deep into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and only investigate on the outermost edge, so there is no trace of those fourth-order demon beasts at the moment. Commander Wei Jie bowed to Kaje.
"Wei Jie, order people to keep an eye on the movements of the army in the direction of the Jason Kingdom, and in addition, immediately notify the soldiers of the whole city to get ready, close the city gates, and prohibit anyone from going out. ”
The face of the Gutong City Lord at this moment was already gloomy and could drip water, and he gave the order decisively.
The Jason Kingdom began to attack Peach Willow City, and the news of the imminent attack of the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range quickly spread throughout Peach Willow City under the publicity of the City Lord's Mansion.
Suddenly, the people in the entire city began to boil, and the mercenaries who were originally ready to go immediately led the mercenaries in the regiment to set off towards the gate of Taoliu City as soon as they heard the news.
Although the upcoming battle has made the atmosphere of the entire city a little solemn, there are still many people who are full of passion, and many people do not take the monster riot in the Demon Beast Mountain Range too seriously, because in the past, many monsters came to attack the city, but they were all repulsed, and now they are mainly facing the army of the Jason Kingdom.
And Chen Ning also left the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, and then returned to the Cao family to start assembling the team, taking more than a hundred members of the Black Panther Mercenary Group, including the seven Great Xuan Masters, and quickly rushed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, it was completely impossible to see the caravan that usually pressed the carts and carts of goods, only the mercenaries on the streets were wearing helmets and armor heading in the same direction.
Among them, many people showed excited looks on their faces, this time the siege of the Jason Kingdom, the Xiongnu Kingdom also entrusted the World Chamber of Commerce to issue a reward order, as long as you can take the life of a Jason Kingdom soldier, you can get the corresponding reward according to the cultivation of the enemy soldier.
The more enemy soldiers you kill, the higher the reward you get, so although the imminent siege of Peach Willow City is extremely dangerous, and you may die here if you are not careful, but in the face of the huge reward, it still attracts a lot of mercenaries who lick blood on the edge of the knife.
However, this pro is fully paid by the City Lord's Mansion, although it will be a lot of money, but due to the special geographical location of Peach Willow City, it is very close to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and the transaction volume of the demon core is also very huge, so Peach Willow City can be regarded as very rich, if you are responsible, it will not be able to build this tall city wall with a defense equivalent to a first-class heavy city.
When Chen Ning led more than a hundred people of the Black Panther Mercenary Group to a distance of more than a thousand meters from the city lord, he could no longer advance a bit, because there were too many people gathered here, and the road in front of him was almost crowded with mercenaries, and it had already been blocked.
Seeing this, Chen Ning took a step back and said to the seven Great Xuan Masters behind him, "You guys come and open the way!"
These seven Great Xuan Masters all have a certain prestige in Taoliu City, and many people know them, let them open the way, and soon someone dares not to give them face, besides, this time the seven people are walking together at the same time, and the deterrent effect caused by it is even greater.
The seven Great Xuan Masters and Chen Ning changed positions, and at the same time released their own momentum, and Arthur directly opened his mouth and shouted, "Brother in front, please give way!"
As they spoke, the momentum emanating from the seven people was deliberately controlled by them, forming an invisible sword that gently inserted into the crowd in front of them, using the huge momentum to turn the dense crowd in front of them to both sides.
"Hey, isn't that Captain Arthur, I didn't expect him to come too...."
"That's Captain Chaoyun..."
"It is said that they have disbanded their mercenary group, and now they have joined a small mercenary group called the Black Panther Mercenary Group, I don't know if this is true..."
As soon as the seven Great Xuan Masters appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of many people around them, and there was a burst of discussion.
Chen Ning blended in the large team behind him, followed behind the seven Great Xuan Masters, and walked in the direction of the city gate, without attracting the attention of the others.
Just when Chen Ning's group was still five hundred meters away from the direction of the city gate, there was a sudden commotion in front of them, and they saw a group of soldiers wearing armor walking towards Chen Ning and them, and the leader was relieved that it was Wei Jie.
"Hehe, little brother Chen Ning, the city lord and the envoy are waiting for you on the city wall, let me show you the way. ”
Commander Wei Jie discovered Chen Ning's traces from afar, and said in an extremely polite tone.
Hearing this, Chen Ning walked out of the crowd and came to Wei Jie's side, and said with a smile, "Then there is the leader of Lao Wei Jie." ”
Then, under the surprised eyes of countless people around him, Chen Ning, accompanied by the commander of Wei Jie, walked towards the city wall in front of him.
The walls of Taoliu Castle were built according to the first-class heavy city, with a height of fifty or sixty meters and a width of twenty or thirty meters.
On the city wall, there are already soldiers and some mercenaries in different costumes at this moment, but the mercenaries who can come here are all those forces in Peach Willow City who have not weak strength, or some powerful individual mercenaries.
On the battlements of the city wall, there were dozens of huge bow frames, and if you looked closely, there were at least fifty or sixty of them, all lined up in turn, and a dozen soldiers and a large iron box full of bows and arrows stood beside one bow frame.
"This should be the Soul Slayer Bow!"
Chen Ning, under the leadership of Wei Jie, looked at these huge bow frames placed on the wall battlements, and secretly thought in his heart.
Soon, the commander of Wei Jie took Chen Ning directly to the Gutong City Lord, who had changed his clothes at this moment, was staring at the front with a solemn face, and beside him, there were several middle-aged men standing, all of whom were some masters and celebrities in Taoliu City.
And the two envoys, who were wearing black robes at the moment, were standing far away, not communicating with anyone, even if some people took the initiative to talk to them, the two envoys ignored them.
"Lord of the City, I don't know what the situation is on the demon beast side now. ”
Chen Ning came to the Gutong City Lord and asked in a low voice, for the army of the Jason Kingdom, he was more concerned about the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
The Gutong City Lord stared ahead without squinting, his face was heavy, and said, "The situation is very bad, this demon beast siege seems to be much more numerous than the previous demon beast siege, little brother Chen Ning, look at it yourself, there are thousands of demon beasts, and they can't be counted, and what worries me the most is that the army of the Jason Kingdom may also appear at any time, and it will be bad when the time comes." ”
Hearing this, the expression on Chen Ning's face also became a little serious, and then he raised his eyes and saw that the black demon beasts in the distance of the city wall were slowly walking towards Taoliu City, there were so many of them, they were countless, and they seemed to be very disciplined.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ning's gaze froze, the demon beast with low intelligence could move forward with such discipline, it must be controlled by a fourth-order demon beast behind it.
After all, the fourth-order demon beasts already have quite high intelligence, and although they can't be compared to humans, it is still very easy to control some low-level demon beasts.
"This monster siege seems to reveal a trace of weirdness, Lord City, I remember that when the monster beasts attacked the city in the past, a large number of monster beasts crashed towards the city wall, how could they maintain such a disciplined pace. ”
A white-haired old man standing beside the Gutong City Lord spoke, his tone full of solemnity.
"Yes, I also participated in the last time when Peach Willow City faced the siege of demon beasts, and the situation was completely different from this time, and now the army of the Jason Kingdom has never been traced, I feel very wrong. ”
It was a middle-aged man who spoke, and the middle-aged man's brows were tightly furrowed at the moment, and his expression was full of worry.
As soon as the words of the two fell, the rest of the people standing beside the Gutong City Lord also expressed the doubts in their hearts, the people who can stand here, they are not simple people, just from this strange scene, you can see that the situation is wrong.
Seeing that everyone had noticed the strangeness of the matter, the Gutong City Lord also knew in his heart that it would be useless if this matter continued to be concealed, so he simply spoke: "Everyone, I can't hide it, I estimate that there will be fourth-order demon beasts in this demon beast siege, and there is also the army of the Jason Kingdom that is eyeing the city outside, and right now for our Peach Willow City, it is a moment related to life and death." ”
