Part 1 Volume 13 Chapter 3 North Gate Tianguan
In December of the fifth and sixth year of the Altino calendar, Reins, the north gate of the heavenly gate
The place of Beimen Tianguan, in the past hundreds of years, has always been a force in the northwest of the Wind Continent, from the Dashi Empire of the earliest Shi Dynasty to the current Elteno of the Cao Dynasty, it has always been located at the pass of the Longteng Mountain Range, condescendingly looking down on Reyns in the east. Tylen.
According to the estimation of the original Dashi Guochuang of the construction level, if you want to capture the North Gate Tianguan from the periphery, you can't do it without a million male soldiers, and even if a million strong soldiers attack, the North Gate Tianguan can also be temporarily blocked by virtue of the location and the garrison.
Whether this self-judgment is pertinent or not is unknown, but it was broken not long ago, and the reason for its failure was threefold: the loss of the defensive barrier, the disrepair of the building, and the reappearance of the celestial masters.
At that time, Nier's dark blue judgment and Amakusa Shiro's soul-calming sound sword collided fiercely, and in terms of strength, it was impossible for the dark blue judgment promoted by the earth realm to be able to defeat the strong heavenly power, but Amakusa Shiro missed one thing, the Holy See martial arts in Jerusalem had a certain degree of praying to the gods and multiplying its own power, just like the martial arts technique of attracting gods into the body.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of actual skill can even exert a strength that surpasses the user itself, but at that time, there was a situation that the creator did not expect. From ancient times to the present, even the demons themselves have never been able to conclude a contract with the Deep Blue Demon King and create the ancestors of the Soul Suppression Sound Sword, so naturally there is no way to estimate the power of the Deep Blue Judgment.
There was a huge difference in the levels of the gods between the two sides, and as a result, when the two forces collided, although Nier's strength was far inferior, the dark blue magic power contained in the trick overwhelmed the divine aura in the soul suppression sword in an instant. Non-war crimes, the two forces rolled up towards Amakusa Shiro, and while knocking him back, the shock wave that erupted swept across the entire North Gate Tianguan.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the power was no less than a dozen tornadoes at the same time, the troops stationed at the north gate Tianguan suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers patrolling the city were instantly gone, and the solid stone was swept by the shock wave, more fragile than flour, and turned into gravel and stone powder like a decay, and disappeared in the strong light of the storm.
When everything returned to peace, this famous pass, which had stood unshakable for hundreds of years, almost became a ruin with a river of blood. Witnessing all this, the surviving soldiers were stunned, and could only rejoice in the aftermath of the disaster.
Afterwards, the representative of the garrison applied to Huajia General Fort, hoping to allocate funds to rebuild the North Gate Tianguan, and at the same time send a batch of men and horses to garrison here. Helplessly, there was chaos within the Hua family, no one accepted these applications, let alone handled them, and the progress of the rebuilding was extremely slow.
More than a month has passed, just when the defenders of the North Gate Tianguan are all dejected and listlessly stationed in this dilapidated ruin, the first batch of enemies since the completion of the North Gate Tianguan finally launched an attack. Quietly appeared, precise and rapid efficiency, complete planning, almost in an instant, they controlled the overall situation with overwhelming strength.
More than ninety percent of the defenders did not resist and surrendered, and after knowing the identity of the enemy, they even had a sense of trembling, glad that they had made the right choice. Reynes's five-color flag, known as the first strong soldier in the continent for 2,000 years, has a reputation that spreads far and wide in the demon world, even if the level is intact, it may not be able to match one of the enemies, and the river situation is miserable now.
The rebels were all buried alive, leaving not a single one behind, and the defenders who surrendered were safeguarded, and in addition to providing food and medical care, they were immediately reorganized into a new garrison. Because no one can see that no matter how strong the five-color flag is in the legend, this army of less than 15,000 people is indeed understaffed!
Looking at the Reins military flag fluttering at the head of the city, these soldiers who originally received Eltinor's salary had mixed feelings, especially when they saw the handsome man who held a five-stringed piano and sat alone on the newly built city tower, playing slowly.
This man is their current new manager. Compared with the old leader Hua Tianxie, this handsome and almost delicate man looks really unreliable, however, it turns out that Hua Tianxie, who looks very reliable, is really disappointing in the face of major events, so will this man named Gengoro Amano have some more promising performances?
Sitting alone on the cornices of the castle tower, Gengoro looked at the lush mountains in front of him, feeling quite comfortable in his heart, and then looked back at the new building that was almost half completed under his feet, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.
It is worthy of being the elite of the white-character family, and it can rebuild the North Gate Tianguan in a short period of time with such high efficiency, except for the technicians of the white-character family, I am afraid that there is no other engineer unit on the Wind Continent that can do it. Since more than ten years ago, the waiter team composed of the Bai family's founding teachers has been famous all over the mainland.
At that time, all major families had the habit of boasting about the rich, but compared to the cheesy behavior of other families boasting about their treasures, Bai Wuji established his position as the richest man in the Wind Continent with a larger move.
The exhibition room for the Bakujia carrying, the garden for the Baek family, the museum for the Baek family, and the shrine for the Baku...... The location is Shangri-La, in front of the two heads of the Medici and Shi families, Bai Wuji gave an order, and the waiter team composed of many craftsmen and creators raised high-rise buildings on the ground, and with the orders of the head of the house, they changed and assembled different buildings.
When a splendid "Bai Family Carry House" decorated with countless high-priced jewels stood in front of everyone's eyes within a quarter of an hour, magnificent, in Bai Wuji's cheerful laughter, even if it was Hülegü, who had always been dazzling and grabbed the attention of the masses, he had to dim in an instant and bow his head and admit defeat.
Such a feat, in the eyes of ordinary people, only see the incomparable wealth of the white character family, but in the eyes of the discerning people, it also implies that the white character family without a master still has organizational strength and strength that cannot be ignored, not only the Medici and Shi families, but even the high-level of the Qinglou Alliance were also shaken, and successfully temporarily deterred the advance of foreign forces on Reins.
After this incident, although Bai Wuji did not participate in any competitions to boast of his wealth, the people of the whole continent respected the leisurely man who wore white robes and clogs all day and walked in Jixia City as the richest man in the Wind Continent, and the Bai family waiter team that had never reappeared was also talked about by the people, which made the Reins people feel bright.
When Gengoro knew the general situation of the North Gate Tianguan, he understood that it was not difficult to capture this ruin, which had no defense force, and the trouble was how to defend the territory, so instead of needing strong troops, he needed a highly efficient engineer unit, and then, he asked Xiaocao about the resources at hand, and he was surprised to know that the so-called waiter team was part of the five-color flag.
This was, of course, a surprise for Gengoro. How to defend the North Gate Tianguan, he already has a plan in his heart. Times have changed, and now siege warfare is not only to defend against the enemy's army, but also to confront the invincible heavenly masters, if you don't work this, then a mere city wall is meaningless, for this, Gengoro needs an efficient engineering unit.
Fortunately, although it can't be as exaggerated as "the Bai family carries the North Gate Tianguan", this waiter team did rebuild the North Gate Tianguan according to Gengoro's new design at an astonishing speed. In this way, when the enemy attacked and the Heavenly War broke out, Gengoro was very curious about the other party's face.
Compared with the information from 2,000 years ago, there are many things that surprise Gengoro. When the two sides finally met, his first thought was: the flag is divided into five colors, and the surname is all the same!
Open the roster, more than ninety percent of the soldiers of the five-color flag have the same surname: white. In other words, after 2,000 years of reorganization and exclusion of dissidents, this army stationed on the island of Sixikoga has completely become the private army of the white family, and the reason why the swear of allegiance to the legitimate royal power when the civil war broke out is not so much to obey the queen's will as to the current head of the family.
- I see, even the Qinglou Alliance is not sure that the so-called Libai family really exists......
Gengoro knew this very well, because the order he handed over to the representative of the five-color flag contained only five large characters: "He, is, self, self, and man." That handwriting is not like Cangyuecao's handwriting, I'm afraid it is a direct order from the head of the family.
In terms of numbers, the five-color flag claims to be more than 200,000, but according to Gengoro's observation, the actual number should be more than that, this time the order to withdraw from Alcatraz Island, only 15,000 people, according to the reason they said, is because since the goal is the North Gate Tianguan, the soldiers are fast, in order to arrive at the first time, 15,000 people is the maximum number of people that the five-color flag can transport at the current maximum combat speed.
Coming to this sentence, Gengoro understood that he had also planned a route in advance, and let the fifteen thousand cavalry cross the mountains and mountains, follow the mountain road trail and advance rapidly, and keep their whereabouts along the way secret, which should be able to give the enemy an unexpected surprise attack in the shortest possible time. However, it wasn't long before he understood the true meaning of the Penteant's words.
"I don't see the horses, don't I think ...... You're all infantry, aren't you?"
"If maximum marching speed is required, the cavalry will be in the way, so we are all infantry. ”
"The infantry must be faster than the cavalry, and they must be able to travel long distances, you should not ......"
Listening to the other party's words, many thoughts appeared in Gengoro's mind. Under normal circumstances, a troop full of martial arts masters, galloping with all their might, is indeed possible to be faster than horses on rugged mountain roads. However, it is impossible for a troop of 15,000 men to be the same in their cultivation, and there will be a sequence in the trek, resulting in detachment; in addition, if they exhaust their physical strength in the gallop and cannot go into battle, it is also meaningless, and with the quality of the five-color flag, it is impossible to make such a mistake, so their plan is ......
Thinking of the impression that the Shiroji family had always given to the outside world, Gengoro was a little furious and began to guess their means of transportation.
The battle of Tianguan at the North Gate shocked the world with a high degree of speed, and the major forces believed that in addition to the rapid movement of the five-color flag itself, it must have been an order to the five-color flag when Lanceloff arrived at Jixia, otherwise it would not be possible to be so fast.
This conclusion was not correct, because Lancelot himself was secretly wondering. According to the time, from the rendezvous between Gengoro and the five-color flag to the official takedown of the North Gate Tianguan, the time is frighteningly short, and it is very similar to the speed of flying with the power of the sky, however, if it is only Gengoro alone, then there is something to say, it is impossible for the entire five-color flag army to have the power of the heavens, right?
This assumption is only half true. In the entire army, only Gengoro had the power of the heavenly position, but they did arrive at the North Gate Tianguan by flying.
While marching, looking at the flying army behind him, Gengoro muttered to himself: "Flying carpets, spaceships, personal aircraft...... Your 2,000-year-old information doesn't seem to be so exaggerated?"
"Because times are advancing. The answer was the commander of the Purple Banner, the young officer who was responsible for assisting Gengoro in commanding the whole army, Bai Qianlang.
"For two thousand years, my white-character family has learned the lessons of the Great War of Kyushu, constantly developing new technologies, excavating ancient ruins, and then combining research experience with magic to create today's achievements. ”
Gengoro looked back at the army behind him, which contained many different methods of flying. Some people are riding the flying carpet, this kind of magic artifact that has been circulated on other continents, the magic guide guild of the Wind Continent has not yet been successfully developed, and the Bai family operates shipping, and it is secretly introduced from other continents.
There are more than a dozen flying objects like big iron birds, which are the spaceships of the Ancient Demon Path, propelled by mechanical power, much faster than balloons and gliders. There are also a few people who carry a fire-breathing iron block behind their backs, called a personal flying machine, which is said to have not yet reached the practical stage, and this time it is tested by the way.
For this surprise attack, the five-color banner really gathered all the airlift equipment at hand, and flew the troops of 15,000 people across the territory of Reines to the target.
But the strangest thing is that Bai Qianlang next to him is wearing a small prop that keeps spinning on his head, and he flies beside him like this.
"Is this thing on your head called a bamboo dragonfly......? I've asked people before, it doesn't seem that the Bai Family Research Institute has been successfully developed, right?"
"The person in charge of equipping the five-color flag is the White Elder Home on the island of West West Coca, which is a hundred years ahead of the Jixia branch in terms of technology. Most of the results obtained from the excavation of the ruins were also sent directly to the Elders' Hospital, and the innate advantages of the Jixia Division were incomparable. ”
"Well, this is the so-called Satobai family, isn't it okay for you to tell me these secrets?"
"According to the instructions of the head of the family, Goro-sama is his own person, so there is nothing wrong with letting you know this information. ”
"It's too careless! It's an order from the head of the house, but it may also be ......."
"The Bai family, who do not obey the orders of the head of the house, has no need to live. Bai Qianlang said: "Lord Gorou is in charge of the head of the family, so we will definitely cooperate with your orders." ”
The simple and cold response made Gengoro feel like he was on pins and needles. Different from the impression of the outside world, the object of the five-color flag is no longer Queen Reins, but the head of the Bai family.
It's no wonder that Bai Wuji doesn't pay attention to the rebellion of Bai Xing at all, the five-color flag stationed on Alcatraz Island is where the real strength of the Baizi family lies, and when this fact gradually becomes known, all the forces on the mainland will definitely re-evaluate the Bai family!
It's not the decline of power, but the hiding of strength for hundreds of years, waiting for a trouble......
"Well, I seem to have taken over a very dangerous army......"
Ending the memories, Gengoro looked around at the North Gate Tianguan. Fearing that the enemy might have been killed before the reconstruction was completed, Gengoro divided the engineering troops into two sides, one of which set up traps on the mountain road leading from Eltino to the North Gate Tianguan to slow down the enemy's advance, and the other group led the newly surrendered soldiers to speed up the progress of the project.
Thinking about it, Deputy Bai Qianlang came to his side and handed over a secret letter urgently from the Demon Guild. "This is an urgent military order from His Royal Highness Prince Lancelot, please take a look at it. ”
After taking the letter, Gengoro was a little puzzled before opening it and reading it. Lancelot was not good at military affairs, so it was unlikely that he would have given any important orders, but if the letter was really from him, it would ...... Let's hope it's not a ridiculous order!
"Hmm...... Did you really send reinforcements? Miss Nill led the way! It's not bad to have such a righteous boss! Huh?"
Gengoro, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his face after reading the entire letter, and after staying for a while, his shoulders fell weakly, and he lowered his head and sighed.
"Alas...... Boss, you really did it......"
Nier, who accepted her brother's order, with her popularity in the Jixia School Palace, which was not inferior to Leng Mengxue, quickly recruited 20,000 volunteers, in addition to the young nobles who were students themselves, but also the miscellaneous servants and servants who served these nobles.
What maintains the morale of this team is the patriotism to resist foreign insults and the dignity of the male surname that strives to be shown in front of the long-legged beauty, as far as Lancelot is concerned, it is really an untrustworthy team, but at this time, manpower is manpower, and you can't ask too much.
How to get this team out of the city is Xiaocao's job. Puzzled by her husband's order, but at his absolute insistence, Xiaocao did not object and silently carried out the order. Please move Bai Dezhao, the secretary of the palace affairs, and let him come forward to negotiate with Bai Xing, and ask for this support army to go out of the city and aid Tianguan at the north gate on the grounds of national righteousness.
For daytime, this is a good and harmless proposal. That puppet king turned out to be so light on the enemy, and transferred the two heavenly masters who made him the most scrupulous one after another, and at this moment, the number of heavenly masters on both sides was one to one, which was greatly beneficial to himself.
On the surface, it seems to be a pity that the Hua family's army is blocked outside the North Gate Tianguan and cannot enter the pass to help themselves. But in fact, everyone knows that the so-called "assistance" of the Hua family has no ill intentions at all, and during the day, he wishes that the Hua family and the five-color flag stationed at the north gate Tianguan will die together, so that he will be completely relieved.
Based on these (shortages), the two sides reached an agreement, and after agreeing that the support army leaving the city would not turn around and counterattack the Bai Xing camp, Bai Bai Xing gave way and let Niel lead the army out of the city.
With one less celestial master to scruple over, Bai Xing hurriedly reorganized his offensive and prepared to attack, and before these attack plans could be carried out, he received great news: the stupid woman in Jixia City had sent a message to him to use the most powerful new weapon.
Without any entourage, he unfolded his photoelectric legs, and came to the place agreed with Ailing alone. In addition to the blueprints, there was also a carriage with more than 20 large boxes containing semi-finished equipment, and just looking at the appearance, it was really impossible to see what kind of weapon it was.
"Later, you can find someone to transport these things back, assemble them according to the map, and complete them in three days at the latest, I believe it can help you in the siege war." ”
"It's great to have your help, I couldn't get in touch with you the first few times, I thought you wouldn't help me design a weapon!" Bai Bai Xing said: "However, is the weapon strong enough this time? Although the design of the first few times is excellent, it seems that there is nothing to do with the pseudo-king! You ......"
"If you want to use me, you must believe me. Since you don't believe in my ability, then why bother looking for me?" Ailing said coldly: "This weapon is not as good as the previous one, it is specially designed for heavenly masters, even if the strength is strong, you have to be afraid of three points." ”
"Really, that's great!"
Hearing the words (missing), but Ailing's tough and high posture made Bai Tianxing secretly surprised. Compared with the impression of the past, Ailing tonight seems to have changed, not only has her speech become sophisticated and mature, but also makes people feel a special ...... Cold.
"I see, then thank you for your help, I will ship these things back immediately, and on behalf of the people of Reins, I would like to thank you for your meritorious service in the war of liberation......"
"I don't need to be thanked, and I don't need to fool me with all those frivolous reasons. Ailing said: "If you want to use my work this time, you must agree to one condition to me." I want you to make a statement to protect the lives of the people in Jixia City, and ......"
"Do you want me to destroy these weapons after the war? No problem, you ......"
"I don't care if you destroy it or not, what I want you to promise me is that on the day of the victory with such a weapon, I will immediately make a declaration that after the city is broken, you will destroy the Bai Family Research Institute and kill all the people inside, leaving no chickens and dogs. This is my revenge for their blindness. Ailing said: "Don't you want to break the contract! I have set up a self-destruct system in these devices, if you don't talk, I can detonate it from Jixia City at any time." ”
The sudden request made the daytime behavior stunned, and his heart began to calculate. Obtaining a powerful weapon is a top priority, and the Bai Family Research Institute has always refused to express its support for itself, so this woman is the resource that he must master.
In terms of ability, this woman's genius in the Ancient Demon Path seems to be ahead of the entire Bai Family Research Institute, and she will design weapons to deal with Heavenly Masters, and mastering her alone seems to be more beneficial than gaining the support of the entire Research Institute.
However, if you think that you can threaten yourself in this way, it is too naïve, so why not promise her now, when the time comes, make a declaration according to her wishes, first use such a powerful weapon to sweep away the enemy, and then deny it after breaking through Jixia City, apologize to the Bai family and admit their mistakes, and the matter can be successfully concluded.
In terms of political significance, the connections of the entire Bai Family Research Institute are much more important than a genius. When the civil war ends, her weapons lose their usefulness, and she breaks the knot to associate with a dwarf woman, which will only give the major media the subject of scandal, even if you don't kill her, you have to cut off contact with her.
The decision was made in an instant, but for the sake of negotiation skills, the day line pretended to be embarrassed, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he gave Ailing a promise.
"You are a hero who has made great achievements in the liberation campaign, and you are qualified to make such a request, if this is what you expect, then I will promise you and avenge you!"
The two sides made up their minds, and after leaving the gold coins to fund Ailing's purchase of materials, they drove away. When it was confirmed that he was gone, Ailing was like a deflated ball, weak and slumped on the ground.
Rao has rehearsed many times beforehand, but with a cold face, saying words that do not fit his surname, and pretending to be cold and arrogant, Ailing is not used to it. finally finished this scene, without goofs, she only felt as if she had done the most intense exercise, exhausting her mental and physical strength.
"But is it really okay to do this? Will it really work?" Mr. Dalang?"
The object of the question was Lancelot, who had been hiding and watching the whole transaction. Fearing that the deal would break down and that the guild would be unfavorable to Ailing during the day, he hid and worked as a bodyguard. It feels a bit of a pity, because as soon as he makes a move, he can immediately slaughter Bai Xing, but in order to put a long line to catch a big fish, he has to let him go.
"Don't worry! Lancelot smiled, "This time, I'm very confident!"
