Chapter 1 Under the Beacon Fire
Terran Calendar - the 51,009th year of the Open Calendar.
The whole world is at war and felling, and the war has caused the world to be covered with phosphorus.
The fuse without a head never stops spreading, and it is unknown where it began, let alone the so-called end. The city wall is particularly cold and desolate against the backdrop of the remnants of blood.
The whole world is filled with death, and the cries echo in the heavens and the earth, praying for peace and singing praises for the rest of the soul......
The scattered flowers in spring and summer cannot arouse any vitality and hope. Because this world is only left with war and death, followed by troubled times and heroes, the only constant in heaven and earth is the rise of the red sun from the sea.
On the vast territory of the Xihuo Continent, it is like a male lying on the ground, showing the sleeping shape of a lion in the land occupying its east, this is the Weilun Empire.
A light breeze blows through the vast and vast Imperial Palace Square, scattering the quaint brick crumbs. The morning sun is faintly attached to the earth. Spreading from the square to all sides, the majestic gates of the square stood majestically, embedded in the thick fortress, as impregnable as the defense of the empire. The guards on both sides with armor all over the body, holding steel ges on the left and right, and their tall and powerful bodies interpret the strength of the soldiers. Under the flying steel helmet of the red tassels are blade-like faces, making it not angry and arrogant. Guards all the way, from south to north. Until the Great Hall of the Weilun Empire.
"The Empire, Haihou City on the coast of Linghai in the east, Shasai City in the southwest, and Xueyue City in the north have all been burning in the flames of war for more than a month. Now, ministers, let you coordinate the situation of the empire according to your own jurisdiction. It is time for you to show your resolve to the Empire and its people. ”
In the grand imperial hall, on the throne, a man with a majestic voice spoke these words to a group of ministers in a generous and powerful tone. He is the Emperor Wei Lunyu.
"Your Majesty, the war on the Hellish Continent has lasted for thousands of years, except for some small frictions on the borders of neighboring countries, it can almost be said that the empire has not had a real war since the continental war between the Eastern Hellfire Continent and the Western Nunn Continent three hundred years ago, but now the empire is surrounded by wolves. In terms of territory, it is the undisputed hegemony in the Greek Fire Continent, so there are only two possibilities for the current sudden war, the first possibility is that some countries on the Greek Fire Continent, especially the surrounding neighbors, because our side is too strong, and we are afraid that we will break the continental balance, so we secretly form an alliance to weaken our country. The second is the control of the Enna Continent behind the scenes. ”
It was the Imperial Marshal Hui Cang who said these words.
Hui Cang, a well-known figure in the Wei Lun Empire. He became famous not only because of his title as the generalissimo of the empire, but more importantly, because of his personality and outstanding military exploits. Especially his other identity, the head of the Hui family.
When it comes to the Hui family, whether it is in the Weilun Empire or outside the Weilun Empire, whether it is a prince or nobleman, or a commoner in the market, the Hui family will be tied to the Weilun Empire ideologically for the first time. It can be said that the Hui family is the strongest guardian of the Weilun Empire.
Huitian, the first head of the Hui family, followed Weilun I to fight in the south and north when the Weilun Empire was founded, and his blood was scattered in all directions. In order to protect the emperor's retreat to the north, he fought three Dao realm masters alone, and killed these three people at the cost of losing his right arm. Later, he killed the enemy group alone until the injuries were accumulated and he could not kill. No one will forget that when this hero's soul was buried on the battlefield, his body did not fall, and the blood-soaked Emperor Weilun ** flag in his hand did not fall!
Brilliant, the second-generation head of the Hui family, personally led 50,000 Hui family troops and 100,000 imperial troops, and it took three years to expand the territory of the Weilun Empire by half, and the current territory of the Weilun Empire was formed......
Generations of iron-blooded men of the Hui family, with their steely bodies and wills, showed loyalty to the empire and defended the honor of the Hui family. The empire's loyalty to the Hui family has never been in doubt. Whether it is a fief and an important position or a large number of troops, the empire has the most favorable conditions for the Hui family.
After Hui Cang's words were finished, a person of the same age also bowed out from the group of ministers, but the difference was that this person was dressed as a civil servant, this was the imperial prime minister - Wu Xi. He is also a virtuous man.
"Your Majesty, what Marshal Hui of Chen Yijue said is reasonable, therefore, Chen Jue's empire must now strengthen its control over the war, grasp the situation, and hold the initiative tightly in his hands. ”
Wu Xi's words completely affirmed Hui Cang's inference. At this time, the corners of Emperor Wei Lunyu's mouth flashed with a satisfied smile.
"Very well, is there anything else anyone else would like to say?"
The ministers of civil and military affairs above the main hall are lined up, and there is nothing to add. Emperor Wei Lunyu looked around on the throne for another week, and then stood up, his face returning to a serious expression, making the emperor's aura fully revealed.
"It's more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, and now that I, Wei Lunyu, am in power, there is a lot of smoke around the empire. War, from the day I took office, I was ready to face it. Fortunately, God cares about my Weilun Empire, and there are many loyal ministers and good generals who will be the right-hand men of the empire. Old Marshal Huicang, has the Hui family army ever been ready to respond to the enemy?!"
"Bang"
Hui Cang, who was standing in front of the ministers, knelt down heavily.
"Your Majesty, Hui family, born for the empire, fought for the empire. Always ready to fight for the empire to the last drop of blood. For the Empire, never give up!"
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
"For the Empire, never give up!"
Three more generals knelt down to show their determination, and they were all members of the Hui family.
Then "For the empire, never give up!" The ministers all knelt down and shouted in unison.
The southwest of the Weilun Empire - the lush grassland of Shasai City. In the midst of a barren weed, a group of wolves with two pairs of eyes staring straight ahead were slowly surrounding a sand-scaled beast.
The Sand Scale Beast is a relatively common magical beast in the Gobi Land like Shasai City, but for these ordinary wolves at the moment, it is undoubtedly extremely powerful. Because of the strength of Warcraft, hunters often join forces with some ordinary beasts when hunting Warcraft. Of course, these ordinary beasts must have extraordinary blood, just like these wolves at the moment.
"Roar"
"Roar"
The sandscaled beast opened its large mucus and roared twice, its breath mixed with gravel, and its scales shook with a metallic crash. This also puts a lot of pressure on the wolves. And the two men who were snooping in the dead grass now quietly pulled their swords out of their scabbards and loaded their crossbows with arrows.
"Roar"
"Roar"
In the stalemate, the sand-scaled beast finally couldn't stand being surrounded by ordinary wolves like this, and finally rushed forward first. The wolves also kept in line and rushed forward.
"Meng, let go of the arrows!Xiaobai, I'm here with your second brother. ”
A shout sounded, and I saw that the two figures hiding in the wild grass had jumped high from behind the cover at this moment, and the surprise of these two people was that they were only boys who did not look very big, although they were very strong and vigorous.
"Whoosh"
One of the boys flipped the switch of his crossbow as he leapt, and an arrow swept towards the sandscaly beast's head. The other boy directly picked up the military sword in his hand and rushed out with the wolves to kill the sand-scaled beast.
The fight began, and instead of hitting the Sandscaly Beast's eyes, the arrows were fixed on the tip of its nose, which was already good. For the sand scale beast with full body scales, the only place that can be broken by ordinary crossbow arrows is the facial features and the belly that is tightly attached to the ground.
The blood from the tip of the sand-scaled beast's nose flowed into its mouth, and it looked very hideous, and the pain made it even angrier. Fearless in the face of the rampaging sand-scaled wolves, they still rushed forward, and the leading wolf had a white and crown-like mane in the middle of his forehead. Because of this, it is also called Xiaobai by the two children. The wolves, led by Xiaobai, tore apart with the sand-scaled beasts.
"Ding"
The sandscaled beast suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from its tail, and when it realized that its tail had been attacked, its tail was almost separated from its body, except for the broken layer of skin.
The sand-scaled beast quickly turned around in pain, staring at the young man who had attacked him in front of him with a vicious gaze, especially the military long sword stained with his own blood in the young man's hand.
"Roar" The sandscaly beast went berserk
It rushed towards the young man with the sword in hand. "It's just in time" The young man clenched his sword in both hands, his expression was not a little frightened, but showed a proud smile. "Come on!" saw the boy jump up and face off against the sand-scaled beast. In an instant, an arrow hit the sandscaly beast's left eye, and the long sword also fell on the sandscaly beast's head.
"Ahh
The boy let out a roar and carried the sand-scaled beast down, what a strange force for a teenager.
Xiaobai saw the boy's hard persistence. One bite hit the wound on the severed tail of the sand-scaled beast, and the other wolves rushed forward. The bitten sandscaly beast slammed its head into the air and turned back to kill the wolves.
"Wow" "Wow"
The wolves were so concentrated that they were instantly traumatized by the sand-scaled beasts.
"Roar"
The sand-scaled beast opened its mouth and bit at one of the wolves, and if it bit down, there would never be a living mouth.
"Whoosh"
Just then, a third arrow shot into the sandscaly beast's mouth. The archery boy did not stop, but rushed up to block the wolf, when he threw away the crossbow and drew the dagger, the sand-scaled beast had already desperately bitten it, everything happened in an instant, and the boy who had just thrown away the crossbow was also stunned.
"Meng, be careful. ”
The boy who was hit by the sand-scaled beast saw the danger of his companion at this time, and rushed over desperately to save his brother, and the boy only had this one thought in his mind.
At last the boy rushed up and pushed his companion out, but he couldn't help slipping under one foot, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, and when he saw the sand-scaled beast leaping and pounced, he simply closed his eyes, clenched the long sword with both hands, and stabbed forward.
"Tear" "Bang"
An unexpected situation appeared, the sand scale beast has been consumed by the boy and the wolves at this time, the brain is a little confused, and the movements are also very clumsy, this flutter, not only did not hit his target, but used his soft belly to give the sword a deep contact, as a result, the body organs and large intestine fell on the boy's body, and then the whole gradually lost its vitality, and the body also smashed on the boy's body completely lost its vitality, at this time the wolves struggled to pull the body of the sand scale beast away from the boy's body.
At this time, the young man who had previously radiated the crossbow arrow also got up, turned around and hung the crossbow on his waist, and ran to the sword-wielding young man, "Liuyun, are you okay?" The crossbow-wielding young man knelt down on one leg and hugged the young man who fell to the ground, shouting anxiously with an anxious face.
Finally, the boy who had been knocked unconscious by the sand-scaled beast slowly opened his eyes and said in a confused voice, "Meng ...... I...... It's okay. ”
I saw that my companion woke up, and although I was not in good shape, I was happy to see that my companion was generally fine.
"Come, I'll help you to your feet first. "A battle was over, and it seemed insignificant in a battle-torn place like Shase. The boy with the sword is called Luoliuyun, and the boy with the crossbow is called Meng.
Both of them are orphans, and they met each other in a hunting game for a rabbit, probably from the same background as each other, and after the two children ate the rabbit together that day, they simply went together. The two have been living in Nanchang Village now, Luoliuyun grew up eating 100 family meals in Nanchang Village, and Meng is simply living in Nanchang Village with Luoliuyun after experiencing the "rabbit incident".
Next to the cracked mound, two children were resting in the shape of a "big", and there was a wolf nesting beside them, licking the blood on their paws, which was the previous Xiaobai.
"Gollum" "Gollum"
"Meng, drink water. ”
After taking two sips of water, Luoliuyun handed the water bag to Meng.
"Gollum" "Gollum"
"We've killed this sand-scaled beast, and Xiaobai's territory is fine. Are we still going to join the army as we originally planned?"
Meng asked as he wiped the water from his mouth with his hand and gasped for air.
"Go, of course. Only if we get ahead can we protect the village. And I feel like that kind of world will be wonderful and more suitable for us."
Luo Liuyun said without hesitation, and then his eyes fell on the military sword in his hand, and he was silent when he looked at the gaps on the sword, which he picked up on the battlefield.
