Today is destined to be an extraordinary day, and this year is bound to be an extraordinary year.

Zhenguo is relatively quiet on the surface, but secretly there are wars all over the place, and the reason for this is naturally not that the lords have brain cramps, although most of their heads are only a stone's throw away.

The real reason is that the balance of power between the two dukes who obey the emperor on the surface but secretly are always competing for hegemony has been chaotic, these two dukes not only control their own large territories, but also have countless small lords and vassals under them, from the marquis and earl who sit in the city to the viscount and baron who mingle between the villages and towns, the boss is fighting, and they will naturally not settle down.

In previous years, the two dukes still had a little restraint on their subordinates' behavior of grabbing territory, of course, they can't be expected to stand out from the weak, but if anyone wants to do something to the people around them, they must at least pay the boss three or four percent of the looted oil and water, so that the boss can pretend to turn a blind eye.

This year is different, these two dukes seem to have completely opened up the freedom of their younger brothers, no matter who they are, as long as they win the battle, they can fight casually, and even if they fight each other, no one cares, this kind of laissez-faire is one of the reasons why Viscount Baihai Houguang sent troops.

However, the team that was marching at this moment was not a military campaign against other lords.

There is only one short day left before the New Year, and perhaps the demonic beasts in the mountains know about the New Year, so there is hardly anything moving on the avenue except for the snow that is constantly piling up.

The snow had piled up more than a foot thick, which was quite rare even in the north of the earthquake country, which was still an inhabited area. Thousands of miles further north, beyond the endless mountains and the Far North Sea, where the snow really falls, also known as the Great Snow Wasteland, there are no people who have yet been able to settle down, and there are not even many magical beasts.

Hexagonal snowflakes fluttered leisurely from the dome of the night sky, falling on the icy iron armor, and instead turned into stubborn ice.

The armor covered in a thin layer of ice didn't slow the team down for a moment, and although their team was loose and seemingly undisciplined, each helmet revealed a hungry wolf's ferocious gaze, as if the murderous aura had converged into the shape of a human.

It seems that such a person can no longer be called a soldier, and it may be more appropriate to call him a fierce beast.

Houguang, like all lords, has a variety of troops under his command.

According to the number, the name is called the Second Legion.

In the impression of ordinary people, the Second Legion is not very much valued by the light, and generally does some miscellaneous things to exterminate thieves and hunt down Warcraft, and even this time the troops did not have the affairs of the Second Legion, leaving them in the Lord's Mansion and being responsible for taking care of the family.

The second legion has Hou Guang's distant uncles, dozens of uncles, his cousins, nephews and nephews of the younger generation, nephews, and a large number of miscellaneous relatives, firmly grasping the core of the legion, so that the second legion has no loyal master except for Hou Guang.

A whole second legion accounted for one-third of Houguang's military expenses, and he had a total of five legions, and the difference in treatment among them can be imagined.

"Report to the head of the regiment!

In the fog of goose feathers, a ghostly black shadow appeared under the banner of the Legion, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head deeply.

As a result, the large army was temporarily stopped.

Say. ”

The commander of the Second Legion was a big man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, and the armor on his body was also different from the color of the others, red like the sun falling to the ground.

"The people of Yuequan Village are still in the village. ”

The words of the black-clad scout are also very simple.

"Still in the village? No one is running away? Why are they so bold, you elaborate. ”

Although this was exactly what the commander had hoped for, the situation was too smooth for him to doubt, and he slammed his spear to the ground, and the noisy soldiers immediately shut up.

"Yes, the lights of the village are still on, and the hospital is surrounded by a hundred flowers, and I see that someone is guarding the outside, it is a warrior, I can't get close, but I can see that there are many people in the windows of the medical hall, and there are many carriages parked outside. The scout recounted what he had seen, and as a scout, he was good at reconnaissance and exploration, and he was a little lacking in combat, so he did not approach the infirmary or the village.

"Okay, it looks like this group of Diao people are really planning a rebellion, you all listen to me! Marching at full speed! Don't care about other places for a while, just copy the infirmary first! Hmph, with a few warriors of unknown origin, do you really think that you are invincible in the world?"

The head of the legion turned his mind, and the scene of the villagers and the summoned warriors gathering in the infirmary to plan appeared in front of him, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, there is a way to capture the thief and capture the king first, and the second legion is not good at fighting tough battles on the battlefield, but it happens to be good at bandit-like raid tactics.

The officers and soldiers took the broken grass and branches on the side of the road, and without saying a word, they divided into four squads, with the night on their heads, and trotted all the way.

"Huh!"

Approaching the target, the legion commander suddenly raised his right hand, and the four squads stopped together.

It is still more than a mile away from Yuequan Village, the snow is still heavy, but the outline of the village can be seen very clearly, it is the middle of the night, the lights of every house are mostly extinguished, and some chimneys are still emitting faint smoke, which is a fire for heating.

The first thing the legion commander stared at was the medical hall, the only place in Yuequan Village where the lights were still on, and the shadows were not very real, but they could barely see the flickering figures, and there seemed to be a little sound, which should be arguing about something.

Having already determined what he was thinking, the Legion Commander waved his hand at his men, and the four elite squads approached the lighthouse-like infirmary with little noise at all, and surrounded it from different directions.

As I got closer, the noise inside the infirmary seemed to be heard more really, but I still didn't know what was being said inside, and the figures dangling from the window seemed to be blatantly provocative.

It was a good choice at this time, but the commander did not give such an order, because they were more accustomed to scavenging everything they could loot before setting fire, and his rich experience in robbery told him that there was probably a lot of rebellion in the infirmary, even some food was very useful.

There was a sudden change in the gesture of the corps commander, which meant a total attack.

Because there are warriors, it is necessary to defeat the enemy's living forces as soon as possible, and the commander of the legion is a man who has experienced a hundred battles, and knows how much difference there is between a warrior and an ordinary soldier, so the first one to rush forward is the highest level in the legion.

In the first half of this year, the legion leader had just been promoted to a fourth-level martial artist, and he had become one of the three strongest among all Hou Guang's subordinates.

"Kill!"

The simple and brutal roar covered the entire Yuequan Village in an instant, with soldiers armed with heavy weapons and stronger squad leaders as the vanguard, the four squads were like four sharp arrows, locking the small medical hall tightly together.

"Your guests are far away, I can't take care of them all, the road to hell is not far, please go by yourself. ”

Dozens of small hidden lights suddenly lit up around the medical hall, and a young and powerful voice reached the ears of every soldier through the closed door of the medical hall.

"me!"

The legion commander suddenly shuddered all over his body, and then immediately roared uncontrollably, kicked open the main entrance of the infirmary, and several powerful guards rushed into the infirmary together.

Although the lights in the hospital hall were bright, there was only one person, a man dressed in colorful clothes and with long hair scattered.

He just sat there, but the Legion Commander immediately saw several cardboards in the shape of human heads, which swayed back and forth in the window, making it look like the people inside were moving.

Hit the trick!

Although he didn't know what the plan was, the Legion Commander knew very well that there was definitely something wrong with the current situation.

"You guys get on!"

Even if he knew the plan, the legion commander would not easily say the word "retreat", after all, there was only one person in the infirmary, and unlike a particularly strong martial artist, this situation only needed to let others step into the trap and die, and pick up the leaks themselves.

As he said it, the originally imposing legion commander immediately withdrew from the gate, and was replaced by those who trusted the warriors. This group of people didn't doubt the layout inside, or they didn't have this IQ doubt, and when they saw that there was only one person inside, what they thought about was who would compete for this head.

"Sure enough, it's still difficult for a martial artist to influence. ”

Qiu Wuyi, who was sitting in the middle of the medical hall, smiled indifferently, and waved his hand to tear off the black cloth covering a slender object behind him.

It was a small half-cut stone pillar inserted into the earth, angular and surprisingly polished, the pitch-black stone pillar was not like decoration, not like a weapon, it just stood there.

"Phew!"

The bright sword light suddenly slashed at the legion commander who was retreating step by step, but it was one of his cronies who attacked.

"You're crazy!"

The commander of the legion was stunned, and in a panic turned to flee, but the cronie chased after him with a long sword.

"Kill!"

"Kill! Kill them all!"

Suddenly, the four squads full of fighting spirit suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers showed their weapons to their accomplices and killed each other.

"Stop! Stop! Don't stop...... If you don't hurry...... I'll kill you all!"

The Legion Commander shouted in vain, but no one answered his shouts, and just as he was in a state of anger, a wave of murderous intent suddenly surged into the Legion's heart, causing him to desperately wave his usual spear and kill the cannibalistic army with red eyes.
