Chapter 19: Treasure Hunt Allied Forces
Cold Spirit City, outside the city
After a long day's journey, the convoy of slaves finally arrived outside the city of Hanling in the early hours of the morning, and then began to camp day and night. After a long night's work, a slave camp was set up. The exhausted slaves were able to return to their tents to recuperate and respite after they had done everything.
Although Qiye was very tired, he never stopped looking for an opportunity to escape all night, but the camp was surrounded by heavy soldiers, and there was no way to escape...
In the blink of an eye, Su Yue sank and the morning light was faint, and the wolf guards immediately set off to ride their horses and gallop all the way towards the City Lord's Mansion. Before arriving at the mansion, he jumped off his horse, his steps were steady as the wind, and he passed through the gates of the palace and came to the main hall of the city lord.
"Lord Qiqi City Lord, the last general Wolf Guard has led 40,000 slaves to return to his life!"
"General Wolf, it's been a hard journey... This time, the lord of the city urgently dispatched 40,000 slaves to come, and the reason for this is presumably clear to the generals. In a few days, the city lord will lead an army of 70,000 to Xiaochi Town to join General Xiahou, form an alliance with the 100,000 army of Shui Lianggong, and go to the Extreme East Domain..."Han Qi sat on the main hall and briefly narrated.
"The last general also knows that if all the 40,000 slaves transferred this time can contribute to the castle lord's treasure hunt, it will be considered their blessing. The last general will definitely do his best for the city lord to hunt for the treasure this time!" Wolf Soldier Wei said flatteringly.
"Hahaha... If the city lord can get the thousand-year-old treasure this time, he will definitely not disappoint the loyalty of the wolf general. Han Qi smiled heartily in a good mood.
Seeing that his flattering words made Han Qi so satisfied, a cold smile flashed on the wolf guard's face. However, Liu Bingwei on the side of the main hall was a little unhappy on his face, and he was so happy to see that the cold flag was blown by the wolf guards at this time, and he was not to be outdone:
"The city lord's treasure hunt trip is full of difficulties. The last general is willing to be around the adults and ensure the safety of the adults. ”
"Hahaha... The two generals were very moved by their loyalty to the lord of the city. I believe that with the full help of the two generals, this city lord will definitely be able to find a thousand-year-old treasure this time. There will be no disadvantage to the two of them. Hanqi happily agreed.
"Thank you, Lord Castle!" Wolf Guard and Liu Bingwei knelt down together in thanks, and said in unison, a hint of rivalry flashed in each other's eyes.
"This time, 40,000 slaves will be mixed into the 70,000 army in the city, and the specific mixing work will be carried out by the wolf general, and there are armor and weapons left over from the battlefield over the years in the arsenal, and you can go and get the equipment for the slave camp, and train them these days, and try to look like an army. In this way, 40,000 elite soldiers can be freed up in the city to guard the city, so that the city lord can also go to the extreme east with confidence. "Han Qi is right, and the legend says.
"The last general obeys!" the wolf guard respectfully ordered.
"This time I went to the Far East Domain, the danger is uncertain, and I ask the two generals to be fully prepared. If there's nothing to do, go down and prepare..."Han Qi urged again.
"Yes, the last will retire. The two respectfully exited the hall, looked at each other hostilely, and then left. And when it comes to the grievances between Wolf Guard and Liu Bingwei, it's naturally a long story...
The wolf guards went to the arsenal to collect a hundred carts of obsolete armor and weapons, and quickly returned to the slave camp outside the city, where they began to mix and train.
At noon, a long and thick horn woke up the resting slaves, and the slaves walked out of the tent sleepily and gathered in the open space in the slave camp. Qiye also dragged his tired and sore body to the clearing, and at this moment the wolf guards were already standing on the military order platform in the field.
"This time, the lord of the castle summoned everyone urgently. There is a big thing for everyone to complete, and if you can complete it, the lord of the castle will definitely reward you, and it is not impossible to remove you from being slaves. In order for you to succeed in this process, you will be conducting rigorous training from today. When people come, the weapons and armor are distributed first, and then they are trained separately in formation. After a brief explanation, the wolf guard immediately arranged.
And when they heard that "they can be exempted from their slave status", the faces of many slaves showed fanatical joy, although the wolf guard's words were blunt, but it fell on the ears of the slaves like a heavenly sound.
"Distribute weapons?!" Nanaya looked a little shocked in disbelief, although he was a little surprised when he heard the first sentence, but the last sentence shocked Nanaya very much: as we all know, slaves are not allowed to carry weapons, and they will not take the initiative to distribute weapons as rulers do today.
"What the hell is this asking us to do?" Nanaya guessed with trepidation......
The wolf guards on the military command platform did not allow to be said or explained. The slaves, who were also surprised and puzzled, had already been arranged to line up one by one to receive their weapons and armor before they understood what was happening.
"I'm going to kill you!" a slave man who had been the first to receive the broadsword rushed to the wolf guard without warning, just as it was about to fall. The wolf guard dodged, and with a flick of the air without moving, the slave man's blood spurted and his head fell to the ground.
"Does anyone else want to try it?" asked the wolf guard coldly as he wiped his bloody palm. The cold light swept over, everyone was frightened, and no one dared to make eye contact with it. With such a bloody end, when the rusty blades were distributed to the slaves, no one dared to give birth to the slightest intention of rebellion. After all, slaves are just ordinary people, even if they hold a blade in their hands, how can they be worthy of a spiritual cultivator.
Nanaya received a smaller, rusty, and a few pieces of armor that had fallen off. The dust accumulated over the years on the armor could not hide the mottled dark red blood stains, and at a glance it was clear that it must have been picked from a young soldier who died in battle while cleaning the battlefield, and then I don't know how long it had been in the storeroom, and now it was in the hands of Qiye.
Looking at this bloody armor that once and now carried life, Qiye felt heavy. As for the weapons, they were not distributed because Qiye was really young, and at the same time, he was also assigned to the logistics of the march, the battalion: to help cook.
In the following time, Qiye carefully polished the rusty iron pieces on the armor, and found bamboo pieces to make up for the defects that fell off, and in this way, a tattered and old armor was rebuilt in Qiye's hands, and the old blood stains left on it were still retained.
Put on the armor and come to the camp for seven nights, it is like a steaming busy scene.
At the gate of the camp, a man with a wide body, a fat brain, and a face full of meat lay leisurely on the horse stool, holding Erlang's legs, holding a straw stick in his mouth, and humming "babbling" in an unbounded tone with his eyes closed. Qiye stepped forward cautiously and respectfully, and said in a somewhat trembling and low voice:
"This lord, the little slave is a helper who has just been assigned to the camp today, if there is something in the future, please give me more orders..."
"What's your name?" asked the captain lazily, not opening his eyes.
"Lord Hui, the little slave's name is 'Ah Qi'" Qiye replied habitually, as for whether his name is true or not, Qiye believes that no one in this slave camp will care about the real name of a slave.
"Ah Qi... Well, from now on, you'll be in charge of chopping wood and making a fire, understand?" the captain commanded, glancing at Seven Nights.
"Yes, the little slave obeys!" Seven Nights knelt down and bowed to the leader's order.
So, Qiye did miscellaneous work in the barracks in this way. Every morning, when the mist had not cleared and the silence was silent, Qiye would carry a firewood knife on his waist and follow a few handymen to cut firewood in the woods near the camp, and several cavalrymen were in charge of supervising it. Now after half a year of diligent practice in Qiye, the shadow step has broken through the doorway, reaching the stage of "Ling Bu, Xiaocheng", and the strength of the "primary second stage" can slip out of ten meters with full strength, but it can't hold on for too long, so if you want to escape while you go out to chop wood, I am afraid that you will be caught up by the cavalry before you run out of 100 meters. After carefully analyzing the possibility of success, Qiye continued to chop wood according to his temperament.
In another wasteland outside the city walls, tens of thousands of people were constantly practicing under the pressure of black, and each slave was dressed in armor, armed with weapons, and standing in order, looking like a real army.
After a few days of such round-the-clock drills, the "Hmm~" slave camp once again sounded the call to assemble. Finally, Hanqi had made all preparations and set off as a whole army. The 40,000 slave soldiers who had been trained for a short time were organized into the forward ranks of the Sharp Knife Battalion, the Heavy Axe Battalion, and the Spear Battalion, while the Gangfang Battalion, where Seven Nights was located, was at the back of the ranks, and the Gangfang Battalion loaded hundreds of carts with all the cooking tools and food supplies.
After the whole assembly was completed, Han Qi led an army of 70,000 troops to advance to Xiaochi Town in southern Xinjiang. Although I didn't know where to go, I didn't know what kind of danger I would encounter, and I felt my breath tremble slightly and my sweat and hair cold. Despite the uncertainty of the road ahead, when there is no 100% certainty that he will be able to escape, Nanaya does not plan to risk trying to escape easily, because once he fails, there will be no second chance.
"Wait, wait, wait..."Seven Nights kept admonishing himself in his heart, and he could sense that there were many powerful officers and generals in the marching ranks. Looking at the majestic Bing Ge Iron Horse in the team, with the weak strength of his junior second stage, it was really a little whimsical to want to escape under the noses of so many strong people.
After four days of marching, the cold flag finally arrived in Koike Town. At this moment, the 100,000 troops of Shui Lianggong in Shuiyou City have also been waiting outside Xiaochi Town for many days. After the 70,000 troops of Hanqi and the 30,000 troops of Xiahou Feng, who were guarding Xiaochi Town, converged, the 200,000 troops of both sides were ready.
In the camp tent in front of the army, Hanqi and Shui Lianggong signed an agreement with each other: the two sides further determined the distribution of this trip to the Far East to find the thousand-year-old treasure: Hanqi six, Shui Lianggong four. In this way, the huge treasure hunting team formed an alliance and began a huge treasure hunt journey.
In order to prevent Shui Lianggong from taking advantage of the weakness of his troops in the city to sneak attack or other cities to send troops to attack, Han Qi ordered 40,000 elite soldiers in the city: 10,000 soldiers were led by General Xiahou Feng to guard the passes in various fields, and 30,000 soldiers were left in Hanling City by General Bafa to be reinforced at any time. He led the wolf guards and Liu Bingwei to the side and went to the far east, for this unknown treasure hunt, Han Qi was full of confidence and high ambition.
