Chapter 2: Vulnerability (I)
!
Half an hour later, a huge horn sound sounded over the entire Northern Bone Barracks.
Although all the soldiers in the barracks did not know what was happening, they still got out of the camp tent in an orderly manner, put on armor and weapons, and came to the school field to assemble the whole team.
And on the high city wall, there were more than twenty people looking at the gray mist forest with serious faces.
The man standing in the middle and the front looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but he was still very tall, with a white beard on his face, a square face, and his dry skin was full of old scars, and he was dressed in a suit of chain mail, and a large smoke-colored cloak was hunting.
"Marshal. The soldiers beside him said with a calm face: "The first reconnaissance team...... It's been more than a quarter of an hour and there has been no return, I'm afraid they are more than lucky, do they need to send someone to take a look?"
The old marshal's face did not change, and he said in a deep voice: "No need. Don't you smell the heavy smell of blood over the forest? ”
On the city wall, the faces of all the soldiers changed.
These people are all the highest-ranking people in the army that guards the bones of the north.
Among them, the highest status is naturally the old marshal Ye Yungu, he is a Sky Walker in the middle of the seventh order, a veteran powerhouse who can be counted in the entire Shuo Dynasty, and a disciple of Fan Xing, the owner of Xingchen Tower, when he was young.
In terms of posture, he is of course much older than the so-called senior brother Dongfang Qionghan, but he has left the Xingchen Tower many years ago and entered the imperial court, so although he retains the identity of Fan Xing's student, he is no longer allowed to call himself a "disciple".
"The first reconnaissance team is all masters of the fourth order or above. ”
A general of no lower rank said: "They are the most elite group of masters in the whole army, but they have not been able to send back even a little bit of news, so they died like this? Could it be that they are the Snow Lady?"
Hearing the name Snow Lady, everyone's faces changed again.
However, Ye Yungu shook his head.
"Not the Snow Lady. ”
He said: "Ben Shuai has confirmed that the Snow Lady will not leave the land of ice and snow, and it will not come to the Gray Mist Forest. ”
Hearing this, everyone gasped!
One is because, without their knowledge, this Marshal Ye must have been to the Far North and dealt with the Snow Lady, and then came back unscathed!
The second reason is that if it weren't for the Snow Lady, then what they would be facing was something that didn't know the details at all, but was extremely powerful!
"First of all, we have to confirm who our opponent is. Ye Yungu said: "Let the whole army enter the state of alert first, and deal with it as the highest level monster tide." ”
The crowd straightened up and shouted loudly.
Although they didn't know much about what was going on in the Gray Mist Forest at the moment, as transcendents with a high cultivation realm, they could clearly know that there was an extremely dangerous aura in that forest, and that aura was slowly approaching, making them feel like they were suffocating.
Seeing the marshal's silent and serious expression, a general comforted: "Marshal, don't worry. In the past half a year, the officers and soldiers of the whole army have studied at least two or more cheats produced by Xiaoyao Academy, and individual elites have even learned the complete version of four books, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
His voice was very loud, majestic, and firm, I don't know if he was comforting Ye Yungu or himself. However, infected by his powerful momentum, the eyes of everyone present lit up.
"Hmm. ”
Ye Yungu didn't respond positively, just hummed and said, "Go and arrange it immediately, and in addition, pass the news to the Imperial Palace, the National Teacher, the Star Tower, and the major temples respectively." ”
This is a clear preparation for a call for help.
Seeing that their marshal was so worried, the faces of the generals did not hesitate, but became more determined, the purpose of their garrison here was to keep the countless monsters in the Gray Mist Forest out of the border, for this purpose, everything could be sacrificed.
From the first day they came here, they knew very well that every drop of blood and sweat they threw here was the price they paid for their families and friends in the country to live in peace!
So, what's wrong with asking for help? You don't even want your life, for the sake of the peace and joy of the whole country, to rescue all forces, but it's just a loss of face, so what?
But they also made up their minds that they didn't need other forces to rush to the front line before their group of people all fell!
The commanders of the various legions left the city wall one after another, and arranged the sergeants under their command, leaving only Ye Yungu and his own soldiers still standing at the head of the wall.
......
Two hours later, the gate at the lower end of the Bones of the North Wall rumbled open.
A group of horsemen with tall horses and armor armed to the teeth marched neatly from the gate towards the Grey Mist Forest.
Their mission was to lay the first line of defense in the clearing between the high walls and the Grey Mist Forest before an unknown enemy arrived.
When hundreds of horsemen came to the clearing, they began to urge their horses to run, but instead of charging with their heads bored, they formed a circle in the clearing.
In the midst of the dust, the cavalry stepped out clear lines in the clearing, gradually forming the shape of a large array.
This large array is thousands of meters in diameter, and the patterns are complicated.
After stepping out of the formation, the cavalry did not close the formation, but began to sprinkle all kinds of things on the formation lines, most of which were powdery substances of unknown composition, which should be some monster materials or items that assisted the large array to exert its effect.
At this time, on the city wall, stood a row of people with high military rank and strong momentum.
They are all extraordinary in the military.
As the cavalry finished their work and began to return to the gate, these transcendents began to unleash their divine powers.
They began to resonate with all the parts of the Great Array that they could resonate with.
The miraculous thing is that whether it is a Sky Walker or a Life Dependent, when using divine power resonance normally, there will be corresponding phenomena, such as ground movement, such as the growth of plants, such as the suspension or splitting of things...... But when these divine power resonated and fell on the big array, the big array only trembled slightly.
It seems that this great array is absorbing these extraordinary divine powers!
Even the marshal of the army, Ye Yungu, stood on the high wall, transporting a large amount of star divine power into the great array!
About ten minutes later, a small flower quietly bloomed in the center of the large array.
This is a phenomenon in which the storage of divine power in the array is full, and the divine power begins to overflow.
Seeing this scene, all the transcendents stopped their hands.
Next, there are the instruments of war.
A Shenwu cannon was taken off the shelves by the efforts of the soldiers.whhryl. on the high wall!
These Shenwu cannons are the new weapons that the Shuo Dynasty began to produce in the past two years, and it is said that they were manufactured according to the technology left over from the glory days, and before they were put into production, there was a huge conflict in the court, one side believed that this technology was the root of the true God's punishment of mankind, and that human beings must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and the other side believed that survival and development were the most important thing for human beings, as long as they could effectively keep the more and more powerful monsters out of the country, it was worth doing everything.
In the end, it was the emperor of the dynasty who made the decision and asked to start producing this kind of Shenwu cannon.
At that time, the first batch of 100 cannons was pulled to the bones of the northern realm as soon as possible, and they were put into the battlefield to resist the monster tide that winter, and achieved extremely powerful results!
It's just that because the cost of making cannonballs and gunpowder is too high, Marshal Ye requested that the use of Shenwu cannons be allowed only in the face of a high-level monster tide.
They didn't know that a certain rich prince had already installed Shenwu cannons on his fleet as fast as he could, and now he had thrown them all at sea.
Preparations for the big war were made, and the atmosphere in the army gradually solidified.
"Start on alert!"
&nbs.; Ye Yungu's majestic voice spread slowly.
He slowly floated into the air, and came to a place where everyone could see, and his cloak danced in a whirl.
In the eyes of all the soldiers who were fanatically adoring, the old marshal said loudly: "The Northern Frontier Army is invincible in the world!"
"Kill all the monsters!"
"Yes!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the bones of the northern realm, drink in unison!
Suddenly, this shout broke through the sky and reached the sky!
......
"Yes!"
In the gray mist forest, such a shout could be faintly heard from not far from the south.
In the forest, a fifth-order demon-eye tyrant struggled frantically, but helplessly.xgchotel. was slowly devoured by a cloud of smoke-colored liquid, until it completely lost its life.
At the same time, in various parts of the forest, countless small clouds of smoky liquid prey on monsters and humans trying to hide, easily swallowing them to the bone.
No matter what level these people and monsters are, how powerful they are, and how many hole cards they have in their hands.
In front of this smoky creature, all attacks, all resistance, all meaningless.
After devouring them, those small clumps of smoke-colored liquid rolled and crawled one after another, returning to their main body.
At this moment, the huge smoke-colored creature heard the shout from the south.
The eyes on its body, which had been pulled from some creature, suddenly turned to the bone, and at the same time looked at the place where the sound came!
Then, countless mouths on its body opened and closed, and a "laugh" like a silver bell sounded.
Giggles......
After absorbing all the smoky liquid from all sides of the forest back into its body, it slowly moved towards the south.
Gradually, its boundless and wide body began to shrink.
Countless eyes and mouths huddled together in the process, making a comical gurgling sound, and the remains of humans, monsters, and beasts in the body of the smoke-colored creature were also piled together, and the creatures that had been devoured earlier were only bones, and the flesh and blood had been digested.
It shrank to a radius of about 500 meters, and its overcrowded eyes and mouth were absorbed into its body for digestion.
Eventually, it turned into a giant "jelly" and moved much faster, heading towards the bones of the North.
