Chapter Twenty-Six: The Barrier Guards
CHAPTER XXVI
Barrier Guard
————————————
......
Thus began a battle that could not last more than thirty days.
The scope of that small world is very wide.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a barrier on the highest mountain on the third day, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that Jiang Heng had already built a camp there.
"Are you sure Jiang Heng is on there?"
The speaker was a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, who led a team of thirty people into the mountain forest and squatted on the slope under the barrier of that peak.
Because their consciousness was hindered, they couldn't find out how many people were in the barrier, who were there, and because this small world was a specially built arena. In particular, the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall knew very well how strong the mountains and stones in this small world were, and that mountain peak, even if the masters of the True Martial Realm were dispatched, they might not be able to eradicate it.
What is even more puzzling is that this small world seems to have no effect on the cultivation of the contestants, but they can feel that their combat power has been weakened to varying degrees.
Therefore, these thirty squads without True Martial Realm masters gave up their plans to attack, and for now they are waiting in place to see the situation in this barrier.
Two more people were sent back to report the situation to the rest of the people.
It wasn't far from the two of them to leave on their front feet—
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the barrier.
Looking at it from afar, it seems to feel a little familiar.
Seeing the man carrying a cylinder-like thing on his shoulder, he raised his middle finger at them, and no one knew what he meant by this gesture.
I just knew that it was accompanied by a thunderous sound.
A round ball flew out of the cylinder, and it burned with a fireball that fell among the twenty-eight men.
With a loud "boom", a hole several feet deep was blown out of the location of the 28 people, and 17 of the 28 people were seriously injured and withdrew from the competition.
When the remaining nine were about to retreat, a six-man guerrilla force led by Zhangwu blocked their way.
They had already gotten rid of the two men who had gone back to report before the group was wounded.
The remaining nine people were also affected by the explosion just now, and at this moment, they were completely powerless in front of the six guys with weapons.
In this short period of less than a quarter of an hour—
Thirty of them were eliminated without the ability to resist.
And in the case of zero casualties.
Inside the barrier, after witnessing the power of Jiang Heng's cylinder fireball in the mountains and forests, everyone showed shock.
Even Jiang Heng himself didn't expect the power of this cannonball to be so great.
It was only while he was digging for the underground ore that he stumbled upon materials such as sulfur, which can be used to make gunpowder. After adding some flammable and explosive materials that belong to this world, I didn't expect the power of a cannonball to be so great. Got rid of a dozen people in one go.
In fact, those people were only injured, and those injuries could only be regarded as minor injuries. It's just that the power of that cannonball shocked them from the bottom of my heart, and their strength was not high. Therefore, after a strong retreat in my heart, it will immediately attract the call of the small world.
If you abstain from voting, you will be teleported out of the small world immediately.
This is also an arrangement made to protect these contestants.
......
Soon, Jiang Heng's explosion attracted more attention.
Even if these thirty people didn't have time to report at all, soon a new group of people arrived.
Zhangwu continued to lead the remaining five people to choose to fight guerrillas in the mountains and forests, and Jiang Heng's very eye-catching barrier became the first target of the new wave of people.
Soon, more and more people gathered at the barrier.
They were greeted by a new round of artillery bombardment by Jiang Heng.
......
Outside the small world, there were no less than ten examiners from the True Martial Realm monitoring the movements in the small world.
Among them, there are also high-ranking military divisions in the Nanqi Prefecture Prefecture, who are known as ghosts and talents-Qimou Fengxiao.
Now, he is only twenty-six years old, and because he is weak and sick, he has no cultivation at all, but he has the greatest strategic right except for Zhurong, the king of Nanqi.
Even Ji Xiaolan once commented on him: "With filial piety, Nanqi deserves peace for a lifetime." ”
It can be seen that its strategy is only amazing, and it is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
It's also because he can't practice, so he's been studying military affairs all his life, and he's taking advantage of the fact that he specializes in that sentence.
He does not participate in the invigilation of the annual martial arts examination. But as long as there is a sand table competition, he will inevitably stay there every day and observe the battle situation in the sand table.
The people next to him all understood that the purpose of this military advisor here was to find someone who could really lead troops to fight.
This kind of selfless consideration for the sake of Nanqi Prefecture is not something that ordinary people do.
Therefore, his position is invisibly there, no one dares to touch it, no one ......
At this moment, he stared intently at the sand table, on the raised peak, such a conspicuous barrier.
He stared blankly for three days and three nights, until the sound of the cannonball exploded.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded.
And told his subordinates: "Go and inform Scholar Ji, and... If the King of Chu also has time, let him come over too!"
According to the time in the sand table, it is about the seventh day.
Huaiyu, the king of Chu, arrived.
He saw that in the sand table, when the barrier built by Jiang Heng had been surrounded by a hundred other contestants who were hiding around.
sneered: "Sure enough, as I expected, being surrounded like this, there is only the share of death! What's more, there are only five people inside, once the people from outside attack it, the five of them will definitely be defeated." ”
His voice was very angry, it should be Jiang Heng's current performance that made him very disappointed.
The reason for the disappointment was naturally because of the hope for him in the first place.
It's just that Ji Xiaolan, the bachelor who was present, and the military advisor Jiu Fengxiao both saw that King Huaiyu of Chu was disturbed by emotions, and before he had time to see the battle situation at the moment, he made such a conclusion.
Ji Xiaolan, who was the former teacher of Huaiyu, the king of Chu, hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, don't forget, we can see it, but the people inside can't see it!"
The words of others, he may not care at the moment, but it is a reminder from his mentor, Chu Wang Huaiyu calmed down and looked at the situation in the sand table, but none of the people who were guarding outside the barrier dared to enter.
Even that Jiang Heng stood there so detrimentally on the barrier, and sarcastically sneered at them a few times, but no one dared to go up.
He began to doubt his judgment: "You mean that this guy deliberately built the fort so conspicuously in order to attract fire from outsiders. ”
Ji Xiaolan saw that Huaiyu, the king of Chu, finally realized her emotional mistake, and nodded: "Your Highness is also proficient in the art of war, marching and fighting, and can capture enemy generals, why slaughter soldiers!"
