Chapter 671, The Eve of the Great War
The next day's sunshine did not sweep away the haze in the hearts of the soldiers of the Wuhou Army, even if they were used to seeing life and death, they would still be soaked in tears.
The brothers who used to drink and talk happily may still be boasting about their mother-in-law and baby in their mouths the night before, but in the blink of an eye, they can't even find a complete body.
Looking at the wreckage and devastation of Luo Wangcheng, sadness overflowed his chest.
Lie Ying listened to the soldier's casualty report, and responded lightly, but the long knife was tightly clenched in his hand, and his fingers were slightly white.
After only one night, the number of brothers who went out from Fengtian City was reduced by one-fifth, and that was not the final decisive battle......
He thought of the phantom of King Garuda, the dragon chant in the black and white air, and the tragedy of the battle of Zhenling Pass, and then exhaled heavily.
......
A hundred miles away from Zhenling Pass, the Shenhou army has already set up camp here.
Last night's turmoil, they naturally saw it real.
The phantom of King Garuda hung over the Southern Regions like a god, an existence they had never faced before.
The fear in my heart is almost instinctive.
The rolling black and white breath seemed to rush into the sea and merge into the Lingshan, and the dragon's roar, even if a night had passed, still echoed in the hearts of the soldiers, making them tremble.
The soldiers of the Shenhou Army originally thought that the battle with the Garuda tribe would be imminent, but the Lingshan was as quiet as death.
Only Liu Tianlu sat on the back of the war horse, holding a brocade bag in his hand, and looked in the direction of Lingshan with a solemn expression.
He knew that a great war could not be avoided, and that it was just a brief moment of calm before the storm.
......
In the imperial study room of Fengtian City, the prison Luo Si Yi told everything that happened in Luowang City and the Southern Regions.
When Emperor Ming heard that King Luo was dead, the brush in his hand trembled slightly, and there seemed to be more wrinkles on his face.
He exhaled lightly, "I know. ”
It didn't take long for Gonggong Li to hurry back, panting.
"What did the Heavenly Prison National Master say?" Emperor Ming asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the national teacher replied, the transcendent will inevitably come to the world, and two days later, the battle of Zhenlingguan is inevitable."
Emperor Ming frowned, turned to look at the inner room, the picture scroll moved slightly with the wind, and the crisp sound of the sword disappeared in a flash.
......
In the God Workshop, the king of the rolls who were working in full swing in the courtyard suddenly felt extremely hot.
It stands to reason that they have been forging by the stove all year round, and they should have been accustomed to the high temperature a long time ago.
But the heat at the moment seemed to penetrate their flesh and blood, reaching their souls.
While!
Dangdang!
On the top floor of the attic where the old man was located, the heat was rising.
The forging sound of the hammer iron was like the heart of a monstrous beast, and there was an unparalleled shock in the law.
At this moment, the old man held the Soul Crushing Hammer in his right hand, his flesh and blood bulged, and a spear in the quenching and dazzling eyes continued to fade its rudiment.
The dragon groaned, roaring in the flames.
......
Emperor Ming sent tens of thousands of soldiers to Zhenling Pass, and the combat power of all parties in the southern region was also converging.
The news of the approaching war spread throughout the Great Dry as if it had grown wings.
In the Qin Mansion of Fengtian City, the quiet atmosphere was like a boulder pressing on everyone's hearts, pressing them out of breath.
In the lobby, Erniang, Liu Jianli, Cang Feilan and Sheniu's mother-in-law were all there, and no one spoke, but the worry in their eyes could not be hidden.
Considering that Liu Jianli's two daughters-in-law were pregnant, Erniang naturally couldn't think about becoming ill, so she forced a smile and said: "Although the Nagarura tribe is very cruel, it is different from the past.
The Wuhou Army and the Shenhou Army are all there, as well as many high-grade combat power of the Demon Slaying Division, plus the people of the Dragon Clan and the Sword Dao Alliance, the Naga Luluo Clan has nothing to worry about at all.
Mother-in-law, don't you say so? ”
Hou Feiqing came back to her senses and hurriedly responded: "No, I heard the old man in the family say that the battle of Luo Wangcheng was a complete victory."
Those Garuda tribes who were killed could not form an army, and even if they reached Zhenling Pass, the ending would be the same.
You two, don't worry too much, Qin Feng is just a scholar and saint Daoist, and it is impossible to rush to the forefront, not to mention that Tianlu and his father-in-law are also there.
They will definitely keep Qin Feng safe. ”
Qin Jian'an's identity, Hou Feiqing naturally learned about it from Erniang, and at the same time she was surprised, she was also very happy.
The famous Northern Ghost Head is also there, plus the Southern Heavenly Dragon, everyone will definitely be able to come back safely.
"Mother-in-law, let's not talk about these disappointments, there is fish soup stewed in the kitchen, and I can't hold it alone, you can go with me." Erniang said with a smile.
"Good!"
The two of them left the lobby, and not long after they walked, their whole body strength seemed to be drained, and they leaned against the pillar, their bodies trembling slightly.
......
After two days and one night, outside the Lingguan Pass in the Southern Regions, the army gathered.
The campfire crackled.
The firelight was fluctuating in the night breeze, and the faces of the people illuminated were also flickering and dark.
Just like they are in the mood at the moment.
Nine deaths in this battle, all the soldiers know it.
What Liu Tianlu and Lie Ying said in Fengtian City at the beginning, now they say it again - there are still old and young wives and concubines in the family who need to be supported, and they can choose to leave, and they will not be dealt with by military law.
The voice fell, but no one moved.
The answers of the generals had already been given when they were in Fengtian City.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too depressing, a veteran quipped: "Tiezhu, I saw that your life was hard before, and the birdmen of the Garuda clan would definitely not be able to accept you, so do my uncle a favor."
If I am invited to tea by Hades, this letter will help me bring it back to your aunt. ”
Tie Zhu immediately replied: "Uncle Niu, this should be said by me, you have gone on countless battles with General Lie, and now you are still alive, my mother said, you are a cheap life, God will not accept it."
I've been writing this letter for a long time, if I'm unlucky, can I bring it back for me? ”
The two opened the conversation, and the rest of the soldiers also joked.
"If you want me to say that the second dog is a great blessing and a big life, the name is like this, what kind of life does it have to be? We'll just leave the letter to him! ”
"Fuck your uncle, according to what you say, your name is Stone, who has your life hard?"
The soldiers began to tease each other, until someone said, "Why don't we find a place to hide the letter in, and someone will be able to bring it back, right?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately recognized by everyone.
Someone with sharp eyes saw a stone cave and said, "How about you put it there?" ”
"Yes, yes, the wind can't blow, the rain can't hit."
All the soldiers moved one after another, and in a few moments the huge stone cave was filled to a third of it.
A soldier said with a smile: "Actually, according to me, we are all hard-headed people, and we can't use these letters at all." ”
"I'll tell you the truth, Lao Tzu just thought that this thing was too unlucky to carry on his body, so he left the letter.
When the time comes, bring the letter back to Fengtian City, and still be able to chat with her mother-in-law, she cried red-eyed, scolded a dead ghost, and thought about it. ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the fear in their hearts seemed to be carried away by laughter.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng silently called the second brother not far away to a secluded place.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Qin An said curiously.
"Second brother, go back."
