Volume 1 Chapter 298 The devastation of Changhe Pass

Hongyi City is actually not far from Changhe Pass, relative to the distance between Yumen Pass and Hongyi City. These tens of kilometers can be said to be fleeting.

The closer he got to Changhe Pass, the fewer coachmen Ren Tianxiang could see. It seems that the Hongyi City Lord's Mansion had hired these coachmen to transport the supplies a long time ago, and now that they had transported the materials to the Changhe Pass, so that by the time Ren Tianxiang and they could see the northern wall of the Changhe Pass, there were no coachmen on either side of the official road.

Now they were only a few kilometers away from Changhe Pass, and from here, it seemed that they could not tell how far the "Divine Oracle Z-type" had damaged this place. Standing in this place, Ren Tianxiang and the others could only see a film of light enveloping Changhe Pass.

This light film is a magic circle set up by the Sky Shifting Star Array in Changhe Pass, and this magic circle still maintains its original appearance after resisting the full power of a "Holy Oracle Z-shape". It's just that everyone can see with the naked eye, and there are countless cobweb-like streamers in the light film that are constantly pouring up from the north - this is the Sky Shifting Star Array is mobilizing the energy of other places to Changhe Pass to strengthen the defense of Changhe Pass.

When they walked to Ren Tianxiang and them, they could already hear the sound of water flowing like thunder, which was the sound of the river in front of the Changhe Pass.

The river comes from above the snow line of the Yokochi mountain range, and through the convergence of countless streams, it eventually forms a large river to the southern continent. From the sky, the river first traveled a few dozen kilometers southward, then suddenly turned into a "U" shape, and then headed north again, flowing towards the Henglu Mountains.

As a result, the river formed a horseshoe shape in front of the Yokoku Mountains, enclosing the Changhe Pass. Surrounded by water on three sides, this is the natural danger that Changheguan relies on.

This river is called Changhe, which is also the origin of the name of Changheguan. After the Star Emperor unified the Northern Continent, in front of Hongyi City, relying on the majestic aura of heaven and earth contained in the Long River, a part of the Sky Shifting Star Array was established, and at the end of the horseshoe-shaped river, the Changhe Pass was established with the standard of the Star Emperor State's first-class fortress, as a node of the Sky Shifting Star Array. Since then, Changheguan has been named after Changhe and has been used by the Star Empire as a bridgehead to unify the southern continent.

Although Changhe Pass is less than 10,000 years old, it is almost like a baby compared to the four cities on the Yokoku Mountains, but there is no doubt that this level will play a very important role in the Star Empire's unification of the entire continent and the defense of the Dragon King Empire.

In the past 10,000 years, the Changhe Pass has not been breached, and the Dragon King Empire was the most severely damaged, and the city wall south of the Changhe Pass was almost half destroyed. But this checkpoint has still stood here for thousands of years, ensuring the safety of Hongyi City and the Star Empire.

It wasn't until he entered the Changhe Pass and looked at the mottled city wall of the Changhe Pass that Ren Tianxiang could clearly feel the erosion of the years.

Because the defense line of Hongyi City has always been heavily guarded, even if Ren Tianxiang followed Xuanyuan Qingtian to carry out tasks, most of them took the official road of Mingde City, and he only came to Changhe Pass once. That time was when he set out from Leestone Hill to go to the Star Emperor Royal Academy in Star City. According to Xuanyuan Qingtian's arrangement, he chose the nearest route and passed through the three checkpoints of Hongyi City's defense line.

However, at that time, he did not carefully observe the environment of Changheguan in order to hurry, and now it seems that it is a pity that he did not take a good look at it at that time.

Changhe Pass is actually not big, because it is a fortress rising from the ground, according to the national strength of the Star Emperor at that time, even if it is a first-class standard fortress, Changhe Pass can only accommodate about 150,000 main battle troops.

However, it should be emphasized that the main battle troops mentioned here are actually not counted as logistics troops, because the logistics troops have full authority to follow the orders of the regiments stationed in the defense line of Hongyi City, and they are highly mobile. If the logistics troops of the Changhe Pass Garrison Corps are counted, the Changhe Pass can probably accommodate 200,000 to 220,000 soldiers.

There was some bustling activity in the north gate of Changhe Pass, and it was obvious that in order to receive the baggage brought by those hired coachmen, the commander of Changhe Pass arranged a lot of manpower here. These baggage were placed in the open space not far from the north city gate, and except for the passage left for the later troops and the open space for the placement of war horses, the place was almost occupied by the baggage.

However, it seems that it is not easy for them to set aside a vacant space for the 32nd Legion of the Dragon Regiment to house war horses, after all, the open space behind the north gate of Changhe Pass is about to be filled with baggage.

These baggage are still being sent into the city, and the tension on the front line is constantly consuming the materials hoarded in the Changhe Pass, and these transported baggage can just replenish the consumption of the front line. There are also veterans who have been in the army for many years and count the number of baggage, discussing that according to previous experience, these baggage should be able to fight a protracted war.

Although the imperial court's wartime regulations have only been issued for a short time, there is a teleportation array system covering the entire Star Imperial Kingdom, and even in such a short period of time, it is enough for Yumen Pass and Hongyi City to receive supplies from all over the country. It is conceivable that the materials hoarded in Hongyi City are enough for Hongyi City to support Changheguan for a short period of time, and during this time, there will be a steady stream of material resources from all over the country.

After placing the war horses in the open space, Ren Tianxiang and his team once again followed the two leading teams and walked towards the south gate of Changhe Pass.

They had already learned before that the war horses were placed here, and someone from the logistics department of Hongyi City would come over and recover these war horses back to Hongyi City. From this point of view, Yan Chenglin is not going to arrange for them to go back after arranging them to come to Changhe Pass. But after this battle, there is really no need to rush back.

Walking on the main road of Changhe Pass, Ren Tianxiang can clearly find that the style here is completely different from the style of Hongyi City and even Yumen Pass, although the latter is a level built according to the standard of a second-level fortress in the Star Emperor Kingdom, but it can barely be regarded as a first-class fortress, even if it is a quasi-first-class fortress, and Hongyi City is a large city.

But Changheguan is a fortress, there are no residential houses, no noisy streets, there are few buildings here except military barracks and houses for various affairs, and more places are used as training grounds for soldiers.

The length of Changheguan from north to south is about two or three kilometers, and this section of the road is actually only less than a stick of incense under Ren Tianxiang's feet. However, the closer they got to the south gate of Changhe Pass, the more Ren Tianxiang and the others could feel the tension of the war.

According to the information obtained by Xuanyuan Liuli in the Changhe Pass (in fact, a random soldier was pulled on the road and asked about the situation at the South City Gate), now the remnants of the 17th Legion of the Dragon King Empire have stopped their senseless retaliatory attacks, and they retreated ten miles back and re-encamped there.

And the spies sent out reported that in the camp of those remnants, more than a dozen god-level monks had risen into the air and built an air defense magic circle to prevent the second oracle of the Dragon Society.

Hearing this, Ren Tianxiang instinctively felt that something was wrong. The Seventeenth Legion of the Dragon King Empire has obviously been disabled, and with their little people, most of them will be reassigned to other legions when they go back, and maybe from now on, the name of the Seventeenth Legion will be removed from the Northern Group Army of the Dragon King Empire.

It was a very unusual move for these remaining god-level monks to stay here, and it was hard for others not to think that they were waiting for reinforcements.

And for the possible reinforcements and the second attack of the Dragon King Empire, there are also many plans on the side of Changhe Pass, such as this Sky Shifting Star Array has not been closed since the defense of the nuclear explosion is one of the measures of Changhe Pass.

And at this time, the Frontier Legion, the Tianyuan Army, and the Southern Demon Guide Cavalry Legion, which had just participated in the defense of Changhe Pass, were all hurrying to repair in order to recover before the next attack of the Dragon King Empire. Of course, if time is insufficient, it is unlikely that they will be able to fully recover, and the commanders of these legions are expected to be able to recover six achievements in a good way.

And these are what Ren Tianxiang and they have heard others say along the way, they still don't know much about what really happened on the frontal battlefield, and only when they stand on the south wall of Changhe Pass and look at the south, they understand what a terrible consequence this oracle has caused.

The north end of the plain is the Changhe Pass of the Star Emperor Kingdom, and the south end is the border city of the Dragon King Empire.

But now, there is no plain in front of Changhe Pass, and a huge pit replaces the original plain and suddenly appears in front of Changhe Pass. The water of the Changhe River is constantly pouring into this huge pit, and the thunderous sound that Ren Tianxiang heard outside the Changhe Pass before is the sound of the water of the Changhe River pouring into this huge pit.

It is foreseeable that soon the crater will be filled with water, and a lake with a radius of two kilometers will appear in front of the long river pass.

Beyond the lake, black humanoid imprints appeared on the original land, most of which depicted figures in a standing posture and seemed to hold something in their hands.

This was obviously caused by the oracle, each of these black marks represented a Dragon King Empire soldier, under the high temperature and high pressure, the other elements in their bodies were instantly vaporized, leaving only the carbon element to be fiercely imprinted on the ground by the powerful shockwave.

This is the power of the "Oracle Z-type", and in order to prevent the Sky Shifting Star Array from being unable to resist the power of the "Oracle Z-type", the Dragon Society has also raised the explosion height of the "Oracle Z-type" by 500 meters, and now the scene outside the Changhe Pass still weakens the power of positive and antimatter annihilation.

But despite this, this "Holy Oracle Z-shape" still left an indelible trace on the plains outside the Changhe Pass, and even Ren Tianxiang heard the soldiers who were repairing jokes about giving the lake a name.
