Chapter 12: The War Begins [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
Time passed, and Li Shu, who was so frightened that he fled, stopped five hundred miles away.
After Li Shu escaped five hundred miles from Taohong Village, he took out the tracking jade plate to check. This look was so depressing that I couldn't do it, because the point of light on the jade plate representing Zhang Genliu disappeared.
What he didn't know was that Zhang Genliu was still in Xiao Yao's space at that time. And he used a secret method to control a grain of dust before, which was used to monitor Wang Nian and the others. Li Shu saw that the world under the poisonous fog was so dangerous, and now that the light point had disappeared, he judged that ten out of ten Genliu were dead.
Li Shu played the trick on the jade plate again, intending to check where Wang Nian and the others were. Seeing this, I was so depressed that I vomited blood. Because the jade plate showed that the two stayed somewhere and did not rush towards him.
Li Shu suspected that the two had been caught, so he sat down cross-legged on the spot and used secret methods to check where they were. They are a killer organization, with strict hierarchies above and below, and their superiors can execute their subordinates at any time.
Because of the distance, it took Li Shu a long time to check the traces of Wang Nian and the others. After this inspection, I saw that Wang Nian and the others were being interrogated, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became. did not hesitate at the moment, and directly urged the secret method to execute the two. This is also the reason why Wang Nian and his soul suddenly spontaneously combusted.
To say that Zhang Genliu is also lucky, if Xiao Yao threw Zhang Genliu out earlier, then he will continue to have trouble in the future.
The point of light left by Zhang Gen disappeared on the jade plate, which meant that the people of the Zhang family's vein were dead. Li Shu reported the incident to his superiors, and then planned to leave the Curry Continent.
Looking at Zhang Genliu at this time, he was frantically absorbing energy in the Gathering Source Array. It was an unconscious act, as his bloodline had awakened to a critical moment.
Usually the bloodline awakening is divided into three stages, bloodline decomposition, bloodline reorganization, and bloodline fusion.
At this time, Zhang Genliu was in the stage of blood reorganization, and it was also the stage that consumed the most energy.
In the hidden formation next to the Juyuan Array, Xu Lei and the five of them were amazed. Such a doll, who had not yet started cultivating, was able to absorb such a huge amount of vitality.
What Xu Lei and the five of them didn't know was that at this moment, the plants on the surface of the mountain range were withering, and the beasts in the mountain range were fleeing. From a distance, the mountain range looks as if it has been scorched by high temperatures.
In the Juyuan Array, Zhang Genliu's whole person was like a sponge. The vitality is constantly sucked in, and it is constantly consumed by the essence and blood in the heart.
A day later, the bloodline reorganization was completed, and it had entered the final bloodline fusion stage. At this moment, the speed at which the Gathering Source Array absorbed energy also slowed down, and Xu Lei and the others also clearly felt it.
While the five were speculating whether Zhang Genliu had completed his awakening, Xu Lei's Wanli communication card received the news. The vanguard troops of the Martial Kingdom had arrived ten miles away from the front line, and Qi Kun inquired about the situation here.
Xu Lei truthfully reported the current situation, and the reply he got was to continue to wait, because Qi Huanzhi guessed that the bloodline awakening was about to end.
After another six hours, Zhang Genliu walked out of the Juyuan Array and looked at Xu Lei and the others with a blank expression. When the five of them saw Zhang Genliu, they were surprised to find that Zhang Genliu was already in the third-layer realm of vitality.
Xu Lei did not delay, and after briefly explaining the situation, he took Zhang Genliu to board the ship and return to the first line. Because the war is about to start, the speed of the ship has been raised to the maximum.
When Xu Lei returned to the front line, the armies of the two countries had already started a war. There are 100,000 vanguard troops of the Wu Kingdom, about 500 spar cannons, about 1,000 siege crossbows, and countless other siege equipment.
The overall topography of the first line of heaven is a long and narrow canyon, and the city is built in the canyon. At this moment, the large protective array has been opened, and large armed weapons such as spar cannons on both sides continue to bombard.
The light curtain of the Great Array of Protectors was pale yellow, and it was constantly emitting huge ripples at the moment. Each ripple represents the withstanding of a hedron cannon. The Great Array of Protectors is powered by Yuan Jing, and it costs one high-grade Yuan Crystal to withstand a single spar cannon.
All the sergeants were busy, and only Zhang Gen remained on the city wall with nothing to do. At this moment, Zhang Genliu has been shocked by this scene, where has he seen this kind of scene since he was a child.
"Where did you come from, little peasant, it's dangerous here, go down there and help, the city wall is not where you should be!" said a man with a badge from the captain.
Zhang Genliu was stunned when he heard this, and then saw that his dress was indeed like this. Zhang Genliu was unkempt at this time, his clothes were ragged, and he still had a pickaxe hanging from his waist.
"What are you doing in a daze? You can't help here, go down there and find something to do yourself!" the captain yelled again, and then ignored Zhang Genliu.
Zhang Genliu listened to his words and ran down quickly. At first glance, many soldiers were pouring oil into clay pots. Zhang Genliu didn't say a word, so he went up to help.
After coming out of that formation, Zhang Genliu found that he had inexhaustible strength. This can of oil is about 30 catties, and I used to estimate that I could barely carry it with my hands. Now it's easy to carry one in your hand.
"A few people to help, this section of rolling wood is too heavy!" someone shouted hurriedly not far away.
Zhang Genliu saw that this section of rolling wood was also too big. Visually, there were at least five people hugging each other, about three feet long, and those two of them could not shake the rolling log even with all their strength.
Seeing this, the surrounding people went to six more people to help, but they still couldn't push the rolling log onto the hanging basket.
Zhang Genliu felt that his strength had risen greatly, so he quickly ran over and pushed it together.
Bang!
With just one push, the huge log was loaded onto the iron hanging basket.
"Little brother, you're a cultivator, aren't you?" a few people lowered their heads when they saw this scene.
"Sort of!" Zhang Genliu finished speaking, and he was going back to carry the oil tank.
"Wait, you should have just joined the army! Come with us to move the rolling wood, you will earn a lot of military pay in this way!" said the round-faced man who originally carried the rolling wood.
"What? And military salaries?" Zhang Genliu looked surprised.
"It looks like you've just joined the army! Come, tell you slowly!" The round-faced man pulled Zhang Genliu to move the wood together.
In the process of moving the rolling logs, Zhang Genliu learned a lot. Those who work under the city walls belong to the logistics army, and they are paid every month, but they are seventy percent less than the soldiers who are officially fighting. However, not all of them are less than 70 percent, and there is a category of logistics troops that specialize in heavy work and tiring work is only 50 percent. These two people belong to this category, but even if the military salary is raised, there is still a shortage of people.
"By the way, I'm just here, and I haven't signed up yet!" Zhang Genliu said.
"This is simple, when this wave of battles is over, I will take you to the centurion to sign up! Don't worry, the first line of heaven will never delay military salaries!" said the round-faced man.
"Then thank you to Chen Hai and Zhou Quan!" Zhang Genliu thanked.
"Hey, don't be so polite, we will be brothers in the trenches in the future, and we should take care of each other!" Zhou Quan said with a smile.
The three of you said a word, chatting, pushing the rolling wood, so uncomfortable.
Rumble!
A loud bang sounded above Zhang Genliu's head. The logistics troops present all stopped what they were doing and all looked up.
I saw that the large protective array above had collapsed, and the pale yellow light curtain was rapidly disappearing.
"All archers on the walls, siege crossbows, fire meteors continue to fire!" shouted someone from the walls.
"Quick, Genru will follow us to move the arrows! The big formation has been broken, and the enemy army is about to attack the city!" Chen Hai greeted and ran towards the cellar.
Zhang Genliu followed Chen Hai and Zhou Quan to the cellar, and when they came to the cellar warehouse, they saw all kinds of strategic materials. I saw Chen Hai and the others lifting a basket of arrows in one hand and running out quickly. Zhang Genliu did the same, and soon followed the two.
Although the hanging basket is labor-saving to transport materials, the speed is not as fast as climbing the stairs directly. And at this time, all kinds of materials were consumed too quickly, so Zhang Genliu and the three chose to climb the stairs.
When Zhang Genliu climbed the city wall again, the atmosphere around him was completely different from before. The soldiers' faces were full of solemnity, and they didn't have the feeling that they were in control of the victory before.
Zhang Genliu glanced at the enemy troops under the city, who were slowly advancing with shields and large engineering equipment. Some of the enemy troops carried ladders and ran quickly in the rain of arrows.
Seeing this, Zhang Genliu hurriedly put down the arrow basket and continued to carry the arrows.
