On the first night of winter, it snowed heavily all night.

The snowy night is not quiet. Gu Wen heard the sound of fierce fighting in the distance, felt many earthquakes, and saw the flames in the direction of Hot Spring Pass.

Gu Wen stomped in the room for most of the night, deeply feeling his powerlessness. The Corpse Demon Clan had obviously launched a follow-up move, but Gu Wen had no way of knowing.

I don't know what the back move is, I don't know how much damage it caused, and I don't know if there is a chance to get it back.

For some reason, the night was so long that there was no light coming out of the window.

Gu Wen finally sat down and fell into a half-asleep state on the desk.

Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door woke Gu Wen up. Gu Wen rubbed his dry eyes, stood up and opened the door, and saw Qian Duo standing at the door, his face heavy and anxious, his eyes were bloodshot:

"Mr. Gu, there is an order from the Hot Spring Pass Headquarters, please hurry up. ”

Gu Wen was taken aback and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong?"

Qian Duo said seriously: "Don't ask too much. Come with me, you'll know when you arrive. “

Gu Wen was apprehensive, and hurriedly copied the half-written "Current Situation Research Report" from the table, followed Qian Duo out, and hurried in the direction of the Hot Spring Pass Headquarters.

Approaching the bitter winter, all the elite forces of the Terrans were put into the front line, and eight Ayutthaya legions were gathered at one pass of Hot Spring Pass, as well as three million troops of the Western Legion.

These armies, headed by Marshal Lei Wenbo, the deputy commander of the Western Army Corps, and supplemented by the marshals of the eight corps, formed the Hot Spring Pass Command to unify and coordinate resources and deploy military forces.

On the way, Gu Wen saw groups of elite soldiers with grim expressions and strong momentum marching towards the front line, and at the same time, groups of troops were withdrawing to the rear.

The retreating troops were disorganized, many lost their armor, and many were wounded.

A soldier with a wounded leg, using a spear with a broken head as a cane, limped past Gu Wen.

What shocked Gu Wen was that this warrior's eyes were full of hopeless dead gray. He has completely lost the courage and will to fight.

Looking closely, most of the retreating troops had the same expression.

Gu Wen's heart was like being filled with lead, and when he raised his head, he suddenly realized that it was already dawn, but the black clouds that were originally shrouded in the Desert of Death had covered the sky overhead. No wonder the sun never comes out.

And the snow that keeps falling from the black clouds is gray.

After checking the warrant, Qian Duo took Gu Wen to the door of the white stone hall of the headquarters and let Gu Wen enter by himself.

Gu Wen thanked him and walked towards the hall. Four burly warriors stood like steel and opened the door, and a commotion came from inside the hall.

Walking into the wide hall, the hall was already full of people, and the rows of Venus on the shoulders of the handsome generals dazzled Gu Wen's eyes. In the hall, almost all the top generals of Hot Spring Pass gathered.

The heavy opening and closing of the hall door alarmed everyone, and a group of generals who were talking about it turned around together and saw Gu Wen.

Gu Wen's immature face, as well as a green shirt, looked very abrupt, and the generals in the hall couldn't help but be stunned, and the entire hall was quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, a middle-aged general with a scorched yellow face scolded: "Nonsense! What's the matter with the guards guarding the door? Why did you let a civilian boy in?"

But I heard a soft voice say: "I sent someone to invite Mr. Gu over, He Xiyuan, do you have any opinions?" The person who spoke was Dai Cheng of the Military Statistics Bureau.

However, Dai Cheng's badge has been changed to the rank of general, and it is obvious that Dai Cheng has been promoted after making great contributions recently.

He Xiyuan's pupils shrank on the yellow face, and he was quite jealous of Dai Cheng, but he still said reluctantly: "A civilian, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to participate in the emergency meeting of the headquarters, right?"

A loud voice said: "Mr. Gu Wen is the holder of the Medal of Honor of the Third Rank of the Empire, and he has the right to observe any military and political meetings. Admiral Ho, don't be impatient. ”

But it was Zhang Wenyuan, the marshal of the Luoyang Army, who accosted him.

The other generals couldn't help but turn their heads and let out a buzzing sound:

"What is the origin of this young man, and how can he be awarded the Imperial Medal of Honor of the Third Degree?"

"Is it the heir of a super wealthy family, or the ...... of the royal family?"

"Impossible, the Medal of Honor is awarded to heroes who have made great contributions to the country, and it has nothing to do with status. ”

"This Gu Wen looks like he is 16 or 7 years old, what great merit can he make?"

At this time, the marshal, who was sitting in the conference room and carrying three stars on his shoulder, coughed. Although he only coughed slightly, the sound reached the ears of everyone present. The generals immediately quieted down.

Gu Wen was also shocked by this cough, and looked up at this old man with red eyebrows and white beard, this person should be the deputy commander of the Western Army, Marshal Lei Wenbo.

In the Great Chu military system, the commander-in-chief of the three armies is a five-star generalissimo, and the marshals under it are divided into four levels, the commanders of the Central Army and the four major military regions are all four-star, the deputy commander is three-star, and the independent strategic corps, such as the Royal Legion, the Warlock Legion, the Rune Legion, etc., are two-star, and the marshal of the local legion is one-star.

The Strategic Corps is basically stationed in the capital, and will only be used when the country is in danger.

Lei Wenbo is 86 years old this year, and he is a level 99 Yang Huo Sword Venerable. Although Lei Wenbo is a fire attribute, his temper is not very short-tempered, and he nodded to Gu Wen and said:

"Mr. Gu Wen was awarded the Imperial Medal of Honor of the Third Class for a number of major inventions. I invited Mr. Gu to come this time, I also wanted to brainstorm together to see if there was a way to deal with the current crisis. ”

Dai Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed, staring at Lei Wenbo's smiling face.

At this time, a square-faced middle-aged man wearing a one-star marshal's epaulette suddenly woke up: "Could it be that the Demon Fire Spider Silk Reeling Machine was invented by this kid?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, the square-faced marshal slapped the table, stood up and pointed at Gu Wen:

"It was this kid who invented the Rausch silk reeling machine to destroy the spider silk bridge, so that the corpse demon used a new tactic to break through the first-line city wall. As a result, the 200,000 elite troops of our Qingzhou Legion were annihilated, and more than half of the hero-level soldiers were killed in battle. Boy, you come with my brother's life!"

Gu Wen was taken aback: "The first line of defense was broken overnight?

The more the marshal spoke, the angrier he became, and he was about to come up and capture Gu Wen.

Another white-bearded marshal next to him grabbed him and persuaded:

"Lao Yuan, the tactics used by the corpse demon this time have been premeditated, and they have nothing to do with Gu Wen, don't make a mistake. ”

Lei Wenbo knocked lightly on the table at this time, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said in a calm tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the tactics of the corpse demon clan are obviously from the hands of the Great Lich Blanche. Let's take a look at a live battlefield recorded by the frontline with advanced 'echo techniques'. ”

A clerk next to him was instructed to activate a diamond-shaped crystal in his hand. A white light shot out from the crystal, forming a three-dimensional light curtain over the conference table.

This is the first time Gu Wen has seen the use of high-level talismans, and he secretly praises in his heart:

"This world is respected by martial arts, and it is obvious that it has embarked on a different path from Blue Star. But in many ways, it is the same as Blue Star. ”

"This 'echo technique' is very similar to Blue Star's stereoscopic film, the clarity is slightly worse, but it does not require a screen, and this technology must be liked 32 times. ”

The "Echo Technique" seems to have been recorded from the air, and it should have been taken by a golden-winged Yunpeng knight who was in charge of reconnaissance.

At the beginning, the screen shows a scene on the castle wall of Onsenseki.

The night of winter is coming, and the level of the corpse demon clan has increased. Although they still used the old-fashioned tricks of stacking arhats, building ladders, and throwing bone balls, the number of corpses and demons climbing the city wall skyrocketed, and the attacks were extremely fierce.

However, the Terrans had already prepared, and the front line had all been replaced by elite-level and above warriors, and a large number of battlefield skills were stimulated with the essence of wolf smoke. Still firmly in control of the city walls.

In the air, the strengthened army of zombie dragons, skeleton dragons, and ghost crows has suppressed the combination of the Eastern Dragons and the Golden-Winged Yunpeng Knights.

But then the Feng clan began to invest part of their forces. The flames of the Feng Clan had a somewhat more effective effect on the Corpse Demon Air Force than the Dragon, and the two air forces returned to the balance of power.

At the beginning of the entire Winter Three, everything seemed to be normal, and even because of the early exit of the Demon Fire Spider, the Terrans still had a slight upper hand in the battle for the city wall.

At this moment, suddenly the whole picture shook a little. It seemed that the Knight of Golden-Winged Yunpeng trembled a little.

But Gu Wen and some carefully observed generals found that it was not the picture that was shaking, but that all the people and things on the entire ground, including the city wall, shook violently together as if they were impacted by seismic waves.

Then again, twice.

At this moment, the camera lifted, and the "echo technique" was aimed at the edge of the border between the Death Desert and the black clouds.

I saw a huge mountain peak, slowly walking towards the wall of Hot Spring Pass.
