Chapter XXII: Civil strife in the border guards
Riding a leopard to the bottom of the mountain, Lu Yuan found that this group of people who were being chased by the wolf demon were actually wearing military uniforms!
In this way, Lu Yuan was even more puzzled, first of all, there was no garrison in the territory where they were located, so where did these soldiers come from? Secondly, Why would 200 soldiers be pursued by a pack of less than 100 wolves? Even if they don't have aura, they should be able to compete with the wolf demon with their physical bodies alone!
Chen Cheng took a closer look at the military uniforms on the soldiers and said, "I recognize their uniforms, they are the border guards of the Yan Kingdom!" ”
In the immortal world, in addition to many monks, there are more mortals, most of them have low cultivation talent or are unwilling to join the fierce competition of monks, so they need government agencies to manage mortals.
Different localities have different policies, and eventually the state is formed. There are five countries in the fairy world, which are divided into Northern Yan, Eastern Qi, Western Qin, Southern Chu, and Central Wei according to direction. And Xuantian Sect is located in the territory of Yan Kingdom in the north.
"Border guards? How did they get here? Wen Yin asked the question that everyone present wanted to know.
"Anyway, let's help them out of the siege first."
Chen Cheng has a good impression of the border guards, and plans to help them first.
His hand was on the ground, and a high wall rose up behind the border guards, and the demon wolves were all separated from each other, only a few of them were released with a slightly faster speed, and then they were killed one by one by Xiao Sprinkle's fireball and Lu Yuan's wind blade.
The border guards also noticed the change behind them and gradually stopped.
After dealing with the demon wolf, Lu Yuan and the others walked in front of the army from the mountain, and a person dressed as a general also walked out of the army.
The general faced Lu Yuan and said: "Thank you for your help, but the last general has important things to do, so I can't thank you properly, I hope you will forgive me and take my leave!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to organize his troops and start the march again.
Xiao Sa frowned and shouted, "What's the hurry! A group of demon wolves with less than a hundred of them can drive you around, where can you use these wastes? ”
Hearing the word waste, the general was obviously angry, but his self-cultivation told him not to be angry, he turned around and said: "Fellow Daoist, you helped us, but it doesn't mean that you can insult us!" ”
Xiao Sa smiled disdainfully, "I'll just say it...... Not! Layers! ”
Seeing that things were not good, Chen Cheng hurriedly covered Xiao Sa's mouth to prevent him from continuing to talk nonsense.
Lu Yuan said in a round game: "My friend is saying that the current situation is relatively safe, and you don't need to be too anxious about your tasks, if you encounter any difficulties, we may be able to help you!" ”
The general looked at the towering earthen wall, and also understood that Lu Yuan and their strength were not bad, and it should not be a joke to say that he wanted to help them, so he began to tell what had happened.
"My name is Gao Wen, and I am the forward general of the Southern Yan Legion who is responsible for defending the Wei State, and everything has to start from the day of the drastic changes in the fairy world......"
The immortal realm changed drastically and the aura disappeared, and there was a sudden chaos within their Nanyan Legion, because they didn't know what the situation was in other places, if only their aura disappeared, then the entire legion would become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered!
Many low-level generals proposed to retreat with the whole army to ensure that the legion would not run into the Wei army. But the commander of the legion did not agree, and asked the soldiers to hold their positions, but he also immediately sent scouts to the country and the opposite Wei army, and in the shortest possible time, it was determined that the entire immortal world had lost its aura.
After losing the aura, everyone's strength is pulled to the same line, so only the number of people will determine the victory or defeat on the battlefield. But no one in the fairy world war has never cared about the number of opponents, only focusing on high-end combat power, and now suddenly they have to fight for the number of people, Yan and Wei are both stunned, and no one dares to take the lead.
The commander of the legion immediately sent people back to the capital to ask for reinforcements, but after several days, instead of waiting for the messenger who brought them back, they waited for the messenger to ask for help.
King Xuanwu, the prince of Yan, actually took the opportunity to rebel and led his troops to surround the capital, and the emperor had no choice but to ask the border guards for help.
When the news came, the entire legion was in an uproar. The capital is besieged, do they need to go back?
The entire legion immediately split into two factions.
One faction advocates that it is better to go back to King Qin than to establish himself as a king, and lay down a country on the border of Yanwei by himself! One faction advocates giving up the border and going all out to serve the king, the current emperor has not done anything bad, and changing the emperor does not guarantee that he will live better.
The two factions quarreled in the commander's tent, and finally the commander chose to establish himself as king, but he did not do anything wrong, he let go of all the soldiers who were willing to serve the king, and did not forcibly leave them as his own combat force.
"Actually, I can quite understand the commander of the legion, he is in the prime of life, and he still has a group of brothers who support him, and he is in a yellow robe, who can refuse?" Gao Wen said.
"But what I didn't expect was that there was a third faction! They mixed in with our team and left the border together, but they didn't go back to King Qin at all, but killed the king! They actually wanted to join King Xuanwu, and then infiltrate the royal army as their own border guards, and finally break through the capital from within! ”
The more Gao Wen spoke, the more sad and angry he became, "More than 5,000 people have left the border, but at least 3,000 people are going to kill the king!" They suddenly made a move on the way back, we didn't expect that there would be a mutiny at this time, and we were directly caught off guard by them, and in the end only more than 200 of us escaped from the team of 2,000 people. ”
Gao Wen was so sad that he was able to hide his face with his hands, and Lu Yuan asked at this time: "Since you only have these people left, is it still useful to rush back to the capital?" ”
"Of course it works!" Gao Wen's eyes revealed that fierce gaze that belonged to a soldier, "Your ability is also obtained by slaying demons, right?" After we realized that we could gain the ability by slaying the demons, we realized that this was the only chance we could have to turn the tables around! ”
"We can guess how to gain abilities, and there is no reason why those traitors should not know, they will definitely return to the capital while slaying demons to gain abilities, and then their march will be greatly slowed down. Driven off the avenue and only by making a detour, we can only catch up with them by moving forward desperately and every minute and every second, and reach the capital faster than them, and then warn the royal forces to defend and even destroy this group of traitors! ”
"For the longevity of Yan Kingdom, we are willing to sacrifice everything, including our lives!"
Gao Wen's fists clenched, as if he was pinching the necks of the traitors.
Looking at the determined Gao Wen and the dusty warriors behind him, Lu Yuan was in awe.
Wen Yin and Qing'er were also infected by Gao Wen's feelings for their family and country, and their eyes were filled with tears, and even Chen Cheng's eyes were a little red.
Xiao Sa frowned slightly, "So, so many of you are desperate to move forward just to deliver a message?" ”
Xiao Sa's tone was puzzled, but there was no previous contempt.
"That's right!" Gao Wen replied in a firm tone.
"If it's just a message, isn't it enough to be alone? Why drag such a big target of more than 200 people? ”
Xiao Sa's words rang like a bell, making everyone present feel like an initiation, and they all reacted instantly.
Yes, it only takes one person to deliver the message! They were so angry that they only remembered to thwart the traitors' plans, but they neglected to pass on the news.
Chen Cheng shook his head with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would be the most brainy at this time." ”
Lu Yuan added: "I suggest finding a group of demons first so that everyone can gain the ability, if you are lucky, someone who has the ability to enhance the speed will definitely be able to reach the capital faster!" ”
Gao Wen nodded and looked at the high wall in front of him, looking for a demon? Isn't it all here?
