1417 There was no way she could stand idly by
The strange beasts encountered on the road are getting stronger and stronger, although every time, they are still killed by them together, but they are also more and more difficult to deal with, and the remote villages and towns that are destroyed by the strange beasts attack the city make them feel even more heavy.
On this night, the group stayed in a small town called Beiguan Town.
Beiguan Town is only five hundred miles away from Luo'an City, but it has already entered the periphery of the Longyan Mountain Range, and the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, plus powerful beasts comparable to the sixth and seventh orders of the sword master have begun to appear along the way, Mu Hanyan did not dare to take risks easily, and decided to come back after dawn.
Judging from the broken city walls and the tense atmosphere in the town, Beiguan Town has obviously also suffered from the attack of foreign beasts, and the losses are extremely heavy, but although this town is not big, after all, it is located on the border, and the fortifications are well built, a bit like those border towns in Shangyue Kingdom, so it has always held on.
"Young Master Mu, ladies and gentlemen, you will be here tonight, we can't compare to the prosperous place in the capital, it is too simple, please forgive me. The city lord led Mu Hanyan and the others into the city lord's mansion and said apologetically.
"The city lord is polite, I took the liberty to disturb this time, and it is we who should be forgiven. Mu Hanyan said humbly.
Beiguan Town is just a remote town, the city lord's mansion is not very big, there are really a lot of hundreds of them, in order to settle a place for them, the city lord's family has moved out by themselves, she is actually very unhappy in her heart.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, Young Master Mu is right, we are leaving tomorrow anyway, you can just find a place for us to stay for one night." He Qingzong also said with a warm face, and while speaking, he also peeked at Mu Hanyan's face, looking a well-behaved and well-behaved person.
During the palace banquet that night, He Qingwei was forced by the order of the head of the family, and had to follow Mu Hanyan, he thought that he had no hope of becoming the head of the family again, who expected that after this incident, He Qingqi did not have the slightest idea of fighting for power and profit with him, as if nothing had happened, still the eldest brother and the eldest brother were respectful and courteous, and the other children of the He family saw this, and they didn't know what was going on with the two brothers, of course they didn't dare to offend him, and they still regarded He Qingzong as the young family master as before.
So He Qingzong saw hope again, he now finally knew how much the ancestor of the He family attached importance to Mu Hanyan, and He Qingwei, who was carrying the order of the head of the family, regarded the words of the ancestor as a metaphor, where did he dare to have the slightest dissent. Now as long as Mu Hanyan says east, He Qingzong will never go west, and Mu Hanyan will never catch a dog.
With that flattering appearance, even He Qingwei secretly blushed when he saw it.
"Young Master Mu, Young Master He, it's not right for you to say that. Luo'an City is my Anyun gateway, once Luo'an is lost, my Beiguan Town will bear the brunt, and it will inevitably be slaughtered by foreign beasts, you are the young master of the capital family, but you are not afraid of hardships and dangers to help, if I can't even arrange a place to live, not to mention others, these people in the town will break my backbone. The castle lord said.
"In that case, then we're welcome, thank you, Lord Castle. Mu Hanyan remembered the surprise and hope in the eyes of those people when they looked at his group when he entered the city, and knew that he was right, so he no longer shied.
After days of running, they are also a little tired, so it is good to rest for one night.
"Young Master Mu, then you should rest early, if there is any movement at night, don't pay attention to it, we will deal with it. The lord continued.
"Are there often strange beasts attacking the city at night?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"It's almost never broken, but most of the strange beasts outside the town are fish that slipped through the net from Luo'an City, except for a few powerful ones at the beginning, which caused us a lot of casualties, and the remaining strength in the back is average, but there is no threat, you just have to rest in peace, don't waste your spirit for our Beiguan Town." The city lord said.
Although he said it lightly, from the broken city wall outside the town and the sad eyes of the people in the town, it was not difficult for Mu Hanyan to imagine the tragic battle when the strange beasts attacked the city on the spot. Obviously, the city lord doesn't want them to waste their spirit in Chengguan Town, but hopes that they will rest and preserve their strength, and use all their spirit in Luo'an City, after all, that is where the Anyun portal is, and only by defending Luo'an City can Beiguan Town be truly peaceful.
Knowing the city lord's intentions, Mu Hanyan didn't say anything more, and ordered the children of each family to go back to their rooms early to rest, and go to Luo'an City early tomorrow morning.
At night, Beiguan Town, which is close to the Longyan Mountains, is silent, and the climate is exceptionally cool.
A roar of beasts, shouts of killing, and the sound of gongs and drums woke them from their dreams.
Mu Hanyan turned over, looked up at the window, and saw that the sky had already revealed a touch of fish white, at this time, it was the time when people were most sleepy, and these strange beasts were also smart, and they chose to attack at this time.
Although the city lord wanted them to have a good night's rest to recuperate, in the face of the attack of strange beasts on the city, how could she stand by and watch, and flew towards the city gate.
The children of the other families have been with different *** hands several times along the way, and they have long lost the squeamishness of the sons of the capital families, and they all got up quickly when they heard the sound, and they all followed.
"Young Master Mu, didn't I let you have a good rest, why are you here too?" Seeing Mu Hanyan and the others hurrying over, the city lord said with some displeasure.
"We have understood the kindness of the city lord, and besides, it is almost the middle of the night after resting. Mu Hanyan said as he looked out of the city.
I saw that thousands of strange beasts were frantically rushing towards Beiguan Town, which was somewhat similar to the original attack on the city by the strange beasts in Hanshan Town, but as the city lord said, the strength of these strange beasts was very average, many of them were only equivalent to the seventh and eighth order of the swordsman, and those who were comparable to the swordsman were only at the level of the first and second order of the swordsman.
The geographical location of Beiguan Town is much more important than that of Hanshan Town, because it is close to Luo'an City, it is also equivalent to a small military town, not only the city is strong, but also there is a team of city guards with good strength to guard, many people are from the border army, and their skills are also extremely good.
Relying on the strong city, the soldiers and the skilled people rained arrows into the city, whizzing through the sky with abundant energy, and each volley brought out the blood mist of the tent. Occasionally, strange beasts that are good at climbing rush up the city wall, and they are quickly cut down by arrows, and it is impossible to pose the slightest threat to the people of the town.
"Young Master Mu, there are still an hour or two before it will be bright, you should go back and rest for a while. The lord of the city persuaded.
