Chapter 6 Mountain Gorge Pass
The sun has set and the sky is full of stars. The old man led the villagers to the city gate, and Shen Su followed closely with Luo Yi in his arms.
And other people on the grassland also moved one after another, and the originally quiet grassland was crowded with people for a while.
As Shen Su and his party got closer and closer to the city tower, people were gradually impressed by the grandeur of the entire mountain and gorge pass.
It's so shocking! The entire mountain gorge is like a prehistoric giant beast crawling on the ground, exuding an ancient atmosphere. And they are as small as ants in front of this prehistoric beast, like grains of sand, and they are not worth mentioning.
The city wall made of 10,000 tons of boulders plunges straight into the clouds, and the top cannot be seen, and the surface of the city wall is pitted, uneven, with sword marks, paw prints, and blood stains that have dried up for a long time in many places.
On the city tower, the three big characters of "Shanxia Pass" are vigorous and powerful, and below is a bronze giant gate, which is also tall and magnificent. There are huge copper rings regularly connected to the giant gate, and the iron chains are connected to the ground from the copper rings like ancient dragons, straight into the ground, and the strange thing is that the surface of these iron chains is smooth, leaving no traces.
Everyone looked at the shocking scene in front of them in a daze, most of them were ordinary villagers, and there were also some cultivators. But it's all just getting started. If it weren't for the invasion of the demon clan, I'm afraid they would never have had the opportunity to see such a shocking scene in their lives.
Shen Su was also very shocked, although he had also seen incredible scenes.
"Entering the city, is it the real Plains Continent? With such a tall city wall, can't it stop the invasion of the demon clan?" Shen Su had many questions in his heart, but he didn't know who to ask.
On a platform hundreds of meters above the tower, two men in black armor stood side by side. Behind them stood a line of soldiers armed with spears. One of the men in armor and a modest figure was General Tian, who had come to assist in guarding the pass. At his side, another man, also dressed as a general, was rough in appearance, unusually burly, more than two meters tall, bronzed skin, exposed muscles with distinct lines, containing explosive power, he held a huge stone axe, standing on top of the tower like an iron tower, his eyes were staring at the outside of the tower.
"General Tian, the time has come. The burly man said eagerly.
"General Gu, now that the demon clan has crossed the line, especially the twelve holy envoys, if any of them blends into the pass, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, the city is already overcrowded, so let the villagers camp outside the city walls first, and when the space is vacated, it is not too late to open the city gates. General Tian said.
When the man known as General Gu heard this, his eyebrows immediately rose and he shouted:
"Tian Zhong, you were sent by the city lord to assist in guarding the pass, and I have the final say here. "If it weren't for Tian Zhong to stop it
The city gate could have been opened a long time ago, and General Gu was very unhappy about this. He glanced at Tian Zhong fiercely and continued: "I'll take care of the mistake."
Tian Zhong was about to retort, but vaguely he seemed to hear a long, sharp voice.
"Gu Chi. You listen" Just as General Gu was about to take people to open the city gate, Tian Zhong shouted.
Gu Qi heard Tian Zhong's shout, thinking that he was going to stop him, and he turned around and was about to have a seizure, but at this moment, the sudden sound of the bell ringing "bell" came into his ears long and piercing, making him who was about to have a seizure, stunned for a moment.
"Bell ......"
The voice became more and more rapid, and each sound seemed to resound in Gu Chi's heart, spreading throughout his body with the blood. Gu Qi's whole body was shocked, and his face changed greatly.
This is a signal of an invasion from a foreign enemy!
As the bell continued to ring, the Terran defenders of the entire Shanxia Pass changed into six gods one by one after the beginning of the exchange of ears, and they were in a panic. Because this alarm bell has not been sounded for hundreds of years, according to records, the last time it sounded was 300 years ago when the demon clan attacked the mountain gorge pass.
Gu Qi and Tian Zhong glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. The two of them hurried to the bell ring almost at the same time. As soon as they turned around, they saw a man walking towards them, the man was in a hurry, and his steps were like flying.
Zhang Tianmin, deputy general of Tongling Pass, sent an urgent message asking to see General Gu. ”
"Vice General Zhang, please get up, I am Gu Qi, the guard of the mountain gorge. Gu Qi stepped forward and grabbed the latter who was about to salute with his big hand. Then he said: "Message" in a clean and clean voice.
The adjutant named Zhang Tianmin immediately clenched his fists and said, "General Gu, Tongling Pass has been surrounded by the demon army, asking for support. ”
Without waiting for Gu Qi to answer, Tian Zhong, who was on the side, stepped forward and said undoubtedly:
"No need for support, abandon the pass!" This is the order of the lord of the Imperial City," Tian Zhong deliberately accentuated the word "Imperial City".
Immediately, he faced Gu Qi and said, "General Gu, the information is wrong, I'm afraid that the demon clan has already planned and is ready to abandon the pass." ”
When Gu Qi heard the word abandonment, his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, his breathing was short, and even his expression was distorted. He pointed to Tian Zhong with his left hand and outside the city tower with his right. Gritted his teeth and said: "Tian Zhong, listen to Lao Tzu, don't use the city lord of the imperial city to pressure me." Uncle won't eat your set. I am the guard to guard the city gates and the people. You want me to abandon them now? I don't know what you learned in the Protectorate. I'm ashamed to be your junior brother, you're also one of the guards of the Imperial City, and you confessed before you even fought, I see that you have been practicing for hundreds of years, and you are blind. With that, he picked up the giant axe and strode away.
Tian Zhong wiped the saliva on his face, he didn't seem to be angry, as a senior brother, he knew Gu Qi's temper too well. just secretly scolded the stinky reckless man in his heart, this stinky temper really hasn't changed at all.
Although he was also a little surprised by the city lord's order to abandon the pass, as a subordinate, he could only obey. Then he beckoned to the figure hidden in the darkness not far away and said, "Bring the information here back to the imperial city, don't talk too much!" After explaining, Tian Zhong also followed down the city tower.
Deputy General Zhang of Tongling Pass looked at Tian Zhong, and then at Gu Qi, who was leaving quickly, and sighed and followed the latter.
"Come on, go to the bell tower and let your mother stop knocking,Gu Qi yelled as he walked. Not far away, a soldier ran towards the bell ringing platform.
"Vice General Xue, lead a group of brothers to evacuate the people of Guanzhong"
At this time, someone came to report again.
Sixty miles north of Beiping Pass, a large number of demon soldiers were found. ”
"Report! The beacon tower is full of wolf smoke, and there is an enemy attacking. ”
Gu Qi ignored the two soldiers and walked straight by. Walk towards the gate at the bottom of the building.
When Shen Su and the other villagers were extremely shocked by the magnificent city tower in front of them, the sudden ringing of the bell made everyone in an uproar.
"Old man, what's going on, are you going to open the city gate?" Shen Su wondered
"I don't know, I haven't heard that the bell will ring when the city gate is opened" The old man also looked puzzled.
"It's been ringing for so long, and if it's a reminder to us, it's time to stop. Shen Su looked for prestige and muttered to himself.
Roy covered his ears with his hands on the side and pouted, his big eyes purring, looked at his grandfather, and then looked at Shen Su, as if he also wanted to know when the piercing bell would stop.
The bell continued, the city gate was still closed, and the people under the city tower were talking and at a loss.
