Episode 36 Deep into enemy territory

The northern part of Tiannanzhou is dominated by alpine mountainous landforms, and only less than one-fifth of the terrain near the south is plain. The Mayan Mountains, which are nearly 10,000 miles long, stretch from the northwest to the southeast of the continent, separating the Tiannan Continent from the Terran Continent, and only a section of hilly ground hundreds of miles wide in the northwest connects the Tiannan Continent with the outside world. The vast Mayan Mountains block the moisture from the southern ocean on the southern mountainside, and the moisture converges into countless streams in the plains at the foot of the mountains, and then converges into the Borneo River, which runs across the entire Tiannan continent, nourishing the entire continent.

Because of this special plateau terrain in the northern mountainous area of Tiannan, although the area is vast, it is sparsely populated, and for thousands of years, only a few tribes have survived here. Because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even though this was once the birthplace of the Mauryan Empire, but since the Peacock Empire moved south thousands of years ago and dominated the entire continent, it gradually gave up its control over the mountainous areas, allowing a few small local tribes to occupy and develop, and did not pay attention to the northern region, and the control was not very strong. Therefore, when the demon clan extended its claws to the Tiannan Continent, the Peacock Dynasty, which felt that there was no hope of victory, had neither the ability nor the intention to help the northern tribes resist the invasion, let alone regain the lost territory, so that the demons quickly demonized the northern tribes and formed the Shura tribe, a vassal race of the demons. Therefore, the northern region is also the first area to be controlled by the Shura people, and it is also the area where it has been operating for the longest time and is the most firmly established.

Since the defeat of the Shura army in Yecheng half a year ago, the plains of the northern mountains have been recovered by the growing Maple Leaf Alliance, and the Taigur tribe, one of the five powerful clans of the Shura tribe, has been driven out of this place and retreated to the northern mountains. When Tang Long was instructed by Linda to lead the Flying Dragon Legion all the way north, until he reached the junction of the plains and the northern mountains, he did not find any trace of the Shura army. But when they went deeper into the mountains for dozens of miles and really entered the area controlled by the Shura clan, Tang Long finally showed a hint of hesitation.

After thinking about it for a while, he ordered the alert level to be raised to the highest level, and at the same time sent more reconnaissance troops to explore the front, carefully taking every step forward.

"Send the drones to search! ”

Tang Long issued one order after another. For some reason, since entering the mountainous area, he had felt a faint sense of foreboding, and there was a sense of uneasiness and impatience in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

The Flying Dragon Legion of tens of thousands of people turned on almost all the power systems, hundreds of dandelion battle teams gathered together, and each battle group turned on the spiritual power shielding system, and at the same time relied on mechanical devices and spiritual power devices to travel, and all the warning radars were turned on at full power. Although this greatly increased the energy consumption of the legion and greatly shortened the combat cruising distance of the Wyvern Legion, Tang Long insisted on doing so, and he had already ordered the army to carry a large amount of spirit stones and fuel and other supplies before setting off to deal with all kinds of unforeseen situations.

"Let's hope there aren't any accidents this time!"

Tang Long secretly thought in his heart, after all, this kind of thing of a lone army going deep into the enemy camp was extremely dangerous, and the opponent was a mysterious and powerful demon clan and a huge number of Shura clans. The main purpose of his trip was to wake up the two demons of the demon clan according to Linda's plan and attract them to the vicinity of Yecheng.

Needless to say, this operation was extremely dangerous, not only did he not even know where the two demon leaders were, but Tang Long didn't even know much about the situation in the area controlled by the Shura clan. After all, the previous reconnaissance of this place did not get much information, how many demon armies there were, how many vassal demon Shura armies there were, where they were deployed, and where their lair was, the Blue Star Army did not have a bottom. Tang Long led the Flying Dragon Legion to go deep alone this time, and if he was not careful, he might fall into the trap of the demon clan, and it was very likely that he would even be surrounded by enemies and fall into trouble.

Judging from the map, more than twenty kilometers before the direction of the advance of the Flying Dragon Legion's army, there is a city controlled by the Shura army, Helan City. This city originally belonged to a subsidiary capital of the Taigur tribe called the Bali tribe, and as the forefront of the Shura tribe's southward expansion, a large number of Shura troops were once gathered here, and the population once reached one million.

According to the original plan, Tang Long planned to launch a fierce attack on the city and hit the defenders of the city fiercely, until the two demons appeared, and then pretended to withdraw the army, attracting the two demons and the main force of the Shura army to pursue, if the demons retreated, they would take the initiative to attack, and if the demons attacked, they would retreat immediately, and they would never love to fight, until the two demons were attracted to Yecheng. However, as the army began to approach Helan City, the scouts sent back a very surprising report.

"What, this city is empty?" Tang Long asked in surprise, after all, the previous reconnaissance intelligence had always believed that there were a million troops of the Shura clan stationed in this city, how could it be said that it would be gone. Tang Long immediately ordered the radar to be scanned all over the city, and soon he was surprised to find that, as reported by the scouts, he had only found some extremely faint spiritual reactions in this city, which could either be some magic weapon reactions left by the Taigur clan, or it could be hidden monks. Unwilling, he ordered a thermal imaging system to reconnoitre, and the results showed that it was a cold city, without any signs of large-scale biological activity.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to personally lead a detachment to go deep into this city to check, after all, this is also the first time to go deep into the city controlled by the Shura clan, and if he checks it out for himself, he may find some useful information. So, Tang Long immediately led a regiment of troops, riding flying tanks and armored vehicles, and roared to the foot of Helan City. At the same time, the army was ordered to advance to a distance of four or five kilometers from the city, so that it could meet at any time.

As far as the eye can see, the whole city is gloomy and lifeless, as if there is a huge transparent monster hanging over the entire city, which makes people rush to be extremely depressed, and even have a feeling of suffocation. A layer of mist floated over the city, and a faint smell of blood wafted through the air, mixed with a chilling aura of fear.

"What the fuck!"

Tang Long stood in front of the city gate, screaming boldly, and the sound wave with mana entered the city, and it reverberated continuously throughout the city, emitting bursts of echoes, and the sound reflected back sounded like a different sound. Suddenly, a loud noise came from inside the city, which made people startled. Just when everyone thought that the enemy was about to appear, a group of huge black crows flew out of the city, startling several soldiers on guard in front, and even Tang Long, who was cultivating in the infant realm, was secretly frightened. These rather evil-looking creatures noisily flew over the heads of Tang Long's troops, and after a few circles, they did not go far, but stayed on the nearby treetops.

"These nasty things!" Tang Long glared at the crows around him in disgust, pulled out his pistol, and quickly fired all the bullets at the crows, actually shooting down more than thirty of them at once. Seeing the leader firing, the soldiers around him also fired at the same time, dozens of automatic rifles were fired at full power, and the well-trained soldiers did not miss bullets, and soon shot down a large number of crows. The loud gunfire and the downed companions immediately startled away the other crows, and in the midst of the uproar, the crows dispersed quickly, and the city gate became quiet again.

"Open the city gate, let's go in and have a look!" As soon as Tang Long recruited, dozens of soldiers immediately flew out of the team, they manipulated small sapper vehicles to push open the half-closed city gate, more than 20 unmanned fighters and helicopter gunships on their heads, thousands of high-powered rifles behind them, and more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles aimed at various directions that the enemy might have, and after confirming that there was no one around, Tang Long finally stepped into the city.

"What a strange place!"

Tang Long looked at the quiet streets, his huge spiritual sense constantly scanning around, his eyes looking around vigilantly. In fact, whether it was him or the other soldiers in the unit, or the armored radar vehicle behind him and the helicopter gunship in the air, everyone was carefully scouting the entire seemingly empty city, and no one dared to have any careless thoughts.

"Search!"

After confirming that nothing had been found, Tang Long finally gave the order. The thousands of soldiers behind him were immediately divided into more than 20 combat teams, led by drones and armored vehicles, and went deep into all corners of the city in full armor, and more than a dozen armed helicopters accompanying them also flew at low altitudes over the city, searching and alerting everywhere.

Soon, the sent soldiers immediately sent back the report. "General, we've found something in the square in the center of the city, oh my God! You might want to stop by and have a look. The scouting officer's muttering voice came through the telecom, interspersed with the sound of some soldiers vomiting, as if they had seen something extremely disgusting.

"What's it? Is there any danger, okay, I'll take a look!" Tang Long felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he didn't care about blaming the reconnaissance officer for spitting his report, and immediately led more than a hundred soldiers behind him to fly towards the center of the city.

A moment later, Tang Long finally saw a shocking scene. I saw that a huge pit with a diameter of 1,000 meters was dug in the center of the city, and it was actually filled with countless human corpses, and all the corpses of all people were cut into pieces and scattered everywhere, and the smell of rotting flesh and mold permeated the air above the huge pit, and there were traces of various massacres left around it. Look closely, and you can also find signs of some kind of spell ritual all around... Don't guess, this is the tragic scene of the remnants of the Demon Blood Sacrifice!

"These bastards!devils!butchers!damn !!"

Seeing this scene, as long as it is a normal human being, there will be great fear and anger, Tang Long is even more excited and uncontrollable, the powerful spiritual pressure overflows from his body, purple flames rise from his body, and his eyes are about to erupt with fire, as if he wants to tear the murderer who caused the remnant in front of him to pieces.

After a while, Tang Long regained his composure, he quietly wiped away a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes, and lightly ordered: "Leave a battalion of people, clean up this place with flames, and let the chaplains and monks of the army perform a transcendence ceremony! Also, after continuing to check the rest of the city to make sure that there is not a single enemy here, let the people of the 7th Battalion clean up this place and stay in this city." ”

Tang Long knew that once the demon clan held a blood sacrifice in a city, it must have killed all the creatures near the city, and at the same time, they would abandon the city and move to other places. Since a blood festival has been held here, and at least a few months have passed, the possibility of demons appearing in nearby places is extremely low. Now deep into the realm, the army needs a temporary base to garrison, and this city can provide a certain hiding place for the Wyvern Legion in case something unexpected happens.

Seeing the scene of the blood sacrifice, Tang Long's heart was already extremely angry by the cruelty and ferocity of the demon race, the original fear of the demon race had long been replaced by the revenge of the demon race, and he was even eager to immediately find the demon race and completely eliminate these human natural enemies.

What Tang Long didn't know was that just when he entered the city gate, countless pairs of eyes had already spotted them, and they were keeping a close eye on all the actions of the Flying Dragon Legion throughout the whole process.

In the depths of the Mayan Mountains, somewhere shrouded in a thick demonic aura, a ghostly voice that seemed to come from hell slowly sounded: "Hehehehe! It seems that the group of Blue Star Boys finally couldn't help it and sent it to the door themselves." ”
