Tiger Pass, the first line of defense before the Gate of Fallen Heaven, although it has such a name, it is not a pass, or even a line of defense, just a fortress.

It is a building with a long history, the exact records of which are known to date back even before the birth of the Hundred Schools, and its name is also a proof of it - Tiger Pass comes from a legend that all the strange things in the world do not belong to this world, but they can pass between this world and the world that belongs only to them through a passage, and at the gate of the passage, there is a tiger guarding and killing all the monsters that violate the taboo and harm people. And when this legend was popular, it was in distant antiquity.

When the demons came to this world from the maelstrom, the first trouble they faced was Tiger Pass, a fortress that had survived the storm but was still strong, and their first leader captured the fortress and completed the first step in establishing a foothold in this world.

Since then, Huguan has been in the hands of the demons, stationed a large number of troops, and after seizing the world, in order to prevent the recurrence of the old things, this has become the place where the demons have the most garrisons in addition to the capital.

Now, the fortress is experiencing its biggest upheaval since the arrival of the demons.

Jochi, the general of the Tiger Pass and the commander of the northern frontier army, sat on the castle tower as usual, facing the maelstrom, and complained about the troubles that had been going on for the past few days.

He did have a reason to do so.

Garrisoning Tiger Pass was originally a good errand, and although the Maelstrom would never stop throwing all sorts of strange things down, most of the time, these things were no match for the demon army. But after the change of emperor, everything was different.

There are many people in the Tiger Pass who have sworn allegiance to the Six Princes, Jochi knows that they have been turning a blind eye, and now, almost all of these people have become walking troubles, not only do they divide themselves into several groups of quarrels, but also pull others in, and some even come directly to Jochi, asking him to lead his troops back to the capital to kill the current emperor.

Jochi couldn't laugh or cry.

And the bigger trouble is the maelstrom.

The Ugulation said that the maelstrom has changed, then it must be true, and for Jochi, a person who has really experienced the twenty-year war of the demon race to seize the world, that old ghost must be right when he speaks.

Jochi couldn't help but want to swear at the thought that he might have to face a group of opponents who were as troublesome as the demons.

Although he's squirting now.

The Nine Emperors had already marched here with a large army, and only this news could make Jochi feel a little more comfortable, especially since Wang Baobao was also in the army.

Yuan Chi is the most appetizing of all the princes, he is simple, proud, and not a good emperor, but he will definitely be a good demon and general. As for Wang Baobao, Jochi was the deputy general of Chahan for at least ten years.

All troubles will pass, Jochi comforted himself like this, after all, the demon clan controls the world and also controls the Tiger Pass.

Then before his eyes, several black dots appeared in the clouds.

At such a close distance, the maelstrom was a high wall of clouds and mist, with no obvious borders, and looked more like an ethereal fog.

Here, no matter how turbulent and tumbling the maelstrom is, there is only a white expanse in the clouds, except for one circumstance.

"Something's coming!"

The soldiers around Jochi shouted, and at the same time, someone on the other side had already sounded the horn.

An army rushed out of the northern gate of the fortress and lined up outside the gate, ready for battle.

Then the black dots in the fog rushed out.

That's three cavalrymen.

A rain of arrows.

This is the Qi *** accuracy of the demon race, stable, and almost all hit, but the cavalry is safe and sound.

Jochi's eyelids jumped hard.

The three horsemen, including their horses, were all dressed in full armor, and almost all of them were covered in black steel, except for their eyes.

Then came the second salvo.

Still no effect.

"Guns!"

The centurion under the city roared, abandoning the customary third salvo, letting the shooters back and replacing them with gun-wielding infantry.

This is a tactic that the demons have learned from their enemies in war, and it is enough to fight against the vast majority of what appears in the maelstrom.

But this time they were dealing with something that didn't belong to the vast majority.

When the three cavalry approached, the hundred-man team realized that they were unusually tall.

The spears that were supposed to be enough to stop the charge failed to stop the terrifying onslaught, and it was obvious that the taller horses provided more strength, and perhaps the demons who were prepared enough in advance could win, but this time, they lost.

Three cavalrymen broke through the line, and in front of them were infantry and archers who were crowded with each other and had nowhere to avoid.

The slaughter is about to begin.

The cavalry raised his weapon aloft in his hand, which was an extraordinarily slender saber.

And then they died.

Three arrows pierced the eyes of the three cavalrymen, reaching the skull, taking their lives in an instant, and the horse that had lost its knight panicked, one disappeared into the fog after knocking down several demons, and the remaining two stopped in the middle of the deadly spear.

It was the Condor Archer who was pressing the formation at the rear.

He was the most dangerous archer of the three demons, able to draw the hardest strong bow and shoot the most accurate arrows.

The army began to clean up the battlefield, and soon the bodies of the three cavalrymen were placed in front of Jochi.

"It's really rich. ”

The centurion knew that his performance would not please Jochi, so he was busy showing the main general how difficult the enemy he had just faced was.

It is true that for the demons, creating a set of full-body plate armor for a cavalryman is a luxury that even the emperor cannot enjoy, let alone a set of heavy armor for a horse.

Jochi repeated the three words of the centurion with expletives, kicked the corpse on the ground, listened to the hum of the metal, and said nothing with a gloomy face.

It's not that there haven't been troublesome things in the maelstrom, and some are far more troublesome than these cavalry.

But shrouded in the prophecy of the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, the appearance of these three cavalrymen made Jochi feel like a bear that had fallen into a trap.

Endless trouble is about to fall from the sky.

"General!"

Startled by the sudden shout in his ear, Jochi turned his face as if he had been pricked by a needle, and looked at the maelstrom, thinking that he would see the terrible sight of countless black spots falling from the sky in the thick fog.

And then he didn't see anything.

"What a horse!"

Jochi spewed a series of vicious expletives out of his mouth, rushed to the soldier who had just opened his mouth like a galloping horse, and the smile on his face was torn apart with a whip.

"Of course I know it's a good horse!"

Jochi was simply out of rage, he trembled all over, and his face was blue.
