Chapter 167: Exploring the Battlefield
On the barren earth.
Mori white bones can be seen everywhere, as well as the heads of unknown animals.
Above the sky, there was a gray mist.
The surrounding area is a typical wilderness, deserted, eerie to the extreme, and some dry woods not far away seem to be full of demons, teeth and claws.
Mockery tempts you.
Chen Xiao's eyes cautiously swept around, and behind him was Zhang Liang, who was riding a white horse, dressed in white, and looking elegant and handsome.
He was looking around with the same cautious gaze.
To his right is a burly general with an awe-inspiring face.
Behind the three of them were five hundred white horsemen riding white horses, armed with spears and carrying bows and arrows.
In the rear of the White Horse Righteous Guard, there were thousands of soldiers in the camp who were in armor, well-equipped, and had strong fighting spirit.
After waking up early in the morning and eating breakfast, Chen Xiao purchased the resource cards needed to open up the war domain from the resource library of the Dao Academy.
In order to encourage students to explore, the Taoist Academy usually gives students certain discounts on this kind of logistics resource card and legion weapon card.
This kind of logistics resource card is arranged and configured in proportion.
Food, clothing, tents and other logistical resources are all equipped.
Chen Xiao only bought enough two thousand soldiers this time, half a month's expenses.
But it also cost more than 100,000 spirit crystal coins.
Of course, hundreds of thousands are now fully affordable for him.
And as the development progresses, they will definitely be able to access the resources of the wasteland.
As for weapons, in the Peach Blossom Immortal Domain, the weapons refined by the Qingyan people every day were enough to supply an army of thousands of people.
More than 2,000 people were supplied, which was completely sufficient.
Then he entered the city of vain death, dispatched troops, and pulled the team into this sixth-level ghost domain.
This is where they started to expand the war domain.
It stands to reason that for the sake of safety, most students will participate in the exploration of the war domain after graduation, especially this unknown wasteland.
Usually they will participate, it is also a wasteland that has been developed.
It's safer and safer.
Of course, the wasteland that has been developed has limited harvest, and it is far from the unknown wasteland that has the opportunity to get rich overnight.
If you can conquer a dynasty or sect in this unknown wasteland, then you can occupy a lot of resources.
Completely occupy a sixth-level battle domain, and the resources obtained are enough for you to build a sixth-grade family.
Of course, with the strength of a student, it is simply unrealistic to occupy a sixth-level battle domain.
It is really important to be able to establish a base and develop it step by step.
Chen Xiao is also calculating like this, compared with the daily consumption of spiritual energy in his hand now, it is already a value that gives him a headache.
Although he received a fund of hundreds of millions from the Taoist Academy this time, he did not develop income, so he waited to sit and eat the mountain and consume the spirit stones and spirit crystal coins in his hand.
I'm afraid I won't even have to drink the northwest wind by then!
So first of all, we must find out what kind of situation this wasteland is and what kind of resources it has?
What kind of combat power are those natives?
However, before these conditions can be discovered, it is necessary to find a place for these more than 2,000 soldiers to settle down.
Chen Xiao opened the "Zhou Yi" spirit card in the card deck again, and a golden glow flashed on the card surface.
Immediately after, a page appeared in my mind.
[Seek good fortune and avoid evil! 】
[Don't use the dragon in the first nine days, see the dragon in Tianli and see the adults in the ninety-two! ] 】
[Fierce: May be attacked by indigenous characters.] 】
[Pro: There is a high probability of meeting a nobleman. 】
Indigenous figures?
Chen Xiao's eyes condensed slightly, this is an unknown wasteland, that is, a wasteland with a very low degree of development, what is the level of the indigenous war domain here?
No one knows.
Of course, with the sixth-level ghost domain, there shouldn't be many more than the seventh-order.
But in any case, proceed with caution.
This bit of soldiers and horses in his hands is not easy to come by, he has just come to this realm, and he is not familiar with the place, but he has to take a long-lasting route.
"My lord, a few miles ahead, there is an Orion appearing! The last general has brought him. ”
Ahead, Zhang Yide rode a war horse, led several soldiers, galloped quickly, jumped off the war horse, and reported to Chen Xiao.
Among the soldiers, there was a middle-aged man with a body similar to ancient clothes, a well-suited body, a bow and arrow, and a slightly panicked expression.
"Don't kneel yet!" Zhang Yide roared angrily.
The Orion popped, knelt down towards Chen Xiao, and said tremblingly, "Meet your lord!" ”
Chen Xiao nodded, after entering the Dao Academy, his personal identity spirit card would be implanted with a large number of battle domain languages, even if he couldn't understand it, it would be directly translated.
As for the fact that this hunter was able to hear Zhang Yide's words just now, he was completely frightened and knelt down directly.
"What's your name? What is this place? Chen Xiao asked in the same language as Orion.
Orion looked at Chen Xiao and said with a panicked expression, "The villain Li Hu is the Orion of Lijia Village, this is Xin'an County, Wulipo. ”
"My lord, the villain is just a hunter in the mountains, and he has nothing to do with the Black Tiger Army."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "You tell me everything you know in detail." ”
"Yes, sir!" Li Hu hurriedly replied.
After a while, Chen Xiao roughly knew some of the situation here from Li Hu's mouth, and at present, this Xin'an County belongs to the Dachang Dynasty.
But now the Dachang Dynasty is falling apart, and the Black Tiger Army has risen up all over the country, and at the same time, various princes have also drawn a line with the imperial court and supported their own troops.
The entire Dachang realm is in constant war.
Xin'an County is located in the northwest of the Dachang Dynasty, is one of the sixteen counties of Wan'an County, and is also a strategic place, and now the Black Tiger Army and the imperial army are in contention.
And every county of the Dachang Imperial Court has monks with the combat power of Jindan Realm.
The reason why Orion knows this is mainly because he is a front-line deserter, and a few months ago, he fled the battlefield and came to Lijia Village to become an Orion.
Chen Xiao is still quite satisfied with the situation in this battle area, the war is continuous, and there are various forces, which is definitely a good thing for him.
This will be easier than dealing with a strong and complete force.
Chen Xiao briefly introduced the situation to Zhang Liang again, and then asked, "General Zhang, look at this situation, what are we going to do next?" ”
"My lord, if you want to gain a foothold here at present, you must seize the city, and this Xin'an City is undoubtedly the best choice."
Zhang Liang looked at the rough map drawn by Orion on the ground, pointed to the direction of Sin'an Castle in the south, and said with a smile.
Chen Xiao nodded, and from Orion's introduction, this Xin'an City is about fifty or sixty miles away from here.
After thinking for a while, he said to Zhang Liang, "Master Zhang, General Gao, you are marching slowly with the soldiers, and General Zhang and I will go to Xin'an City to reconnoiter first." ”
"The Admiral's Order!"
Zhang Liang and Gao Shun hugged their fists and replied.
The burly and solemn general was Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp.
Gao Shun's prestige, Chen Xiao also knows that he is a general under Lu Bu, who led the camp and made great achievements.
When he saw Gao Shun, Chen Xiao was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that among the 1,000 soldiers trapped in the camp, he also sent Gao Shun, a general who was both civil and military.
In this way, there are Zhang Liang in the text, Zhang Yide and Gao Shun in the military, plus 2,000 elite soldiers, Chen Xiao seems full of confidence in this battle area development.
"General Zhang, take someone to Xin'an City with me!"
Chen Xiao rode a black war horse, stretched out his hand and waved it to the south, and followed Zhang Yide's order.
"The last general commands!"
Zhang Yide replied in a loud and hoarse voice.
Then with ten light cavalry, he followed Chen Xiao and galloped towards the south.
Stomp, stomp!
Twelve horses were on the road, kicking up puffs of dust.
Zhang Liang and Gao Shun led the other soldiers to follow closely behind, pressing one by one, and marched quickly towards the south.
Chen Xiao's goal is to take this Xin'an City first, so that he can be regarded as having a foothold in this battle area.
And it can also solve the subsequent grain and grass problems.
With the base, the rest, and then slowly attack it later.
The development realm is different from the original assessment, which is to leave after completing the task; And to open up the realm is to compete for the resources of this realm for a long time.
If you can control all these six-level battle domains, then you will be sent.
Of course, there is still a long way to go between ideals and reality.
You still have to eat the rice one bite at a time, so that you can be safe!
Chen Xiao left the army with Zhang Yide and Li Hu and others, and galloped quickly in the direction of Xin'an City in the south.
This is the existence of the ghost domain, the sky is always gray, with Chen Xiao's current cultivation, he can roughly see a place about a hundred meters away, and the farther place is a little blurry, but he can barely see clearly.
"Lord, there is a situation in the forest ahead!"
After traveling more than ten miles, a dense forest appeared in front of him, the woods were dense, the flowers and plants were flourishing, and the faint mist was permeated in the forest, hazy and weird.
Zhang Yide's eyes swept over the forest of life and reported.
Chen Xiao's eyes were slightly condensed, could this have anything to do with the situation shown by the hexagram just now, and was about to wave his hand to let everyone dismount, when he lurked on the side of the road, a figure flew out of the forest.
Rushing towards them.
At this moment, it is obviously too late to dodge, Chen Xiao's eyes swept over, and the person who came was a young man, handsome, on par with Zhang Liang, quite a bit of a daughter, wearing a white armor, quite heroic, but his expression was flustered and his face was pale.
"This general, save me, I am the fifth prince, as long as I escape with my life, I will be rewarded."
At this time, the young man also saw Chen Xiao and them, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
The Five Princes?
Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, could it be that this person is the noble person mentioned in the hexagram?
It can be seen that this person is weak and pale, as if he may hang up at any time, and he has nothing to do with the word noble.
But thinking that if this person is really the fifth prince of the Dachang Dynasty, then he will really find a treasure.
I suddenly had a bold idea in my heart to support the prince to win the Dachang Dynasty.
With the identity of the prince, it can be regarded as justifiable in the future, so no matter whether this person is true or not, take him down first.
Even if it's fake, you can find a way to make him real in the future.
He immediately ordered Zhang Yide, "General Zhang, bring that young man over." ”
"No!" Zhang Yide clenched his fists, and then rode his horse towards the young man.
Woohoo!
At this moment, the sound of a sudden break in the sky sounded in the dense forest, and several arrows of cold light and shining light flew out, shooting straight towards the young man.
"Look for death!"
Zhang Yide roared, and his beard vibrate.
The sound of thunder roared into a ripple sound wave that seemed to be like substance, and blasted towards the arrows.
Bang bang bang!
In the blink of an eye, the arrows were all shattered by the sound waves and fell to the ground.
Looking at the arrows that fell on the grass, the young man was even more shocked, and he didn't care about thanking Zhang Yide, so he rolled and crawled, and ran directly to the back of the black horse where Zhang Yide sat down.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said to Zhang Yide, "This general, behind me are more than a dozen killers of the Black Tiger Army's shadow battalion, you have to be careful." ”
As soon as the words fell, she quickly fled towards Chen Xiao's side.
At the same time, the sound of brushing sounded, and more than a dozen black figures flew out of the forest and rushed towards Zhang Yide.
They were well-trained, and more than a dozen people drew bows and shot arrows from different directions, and arrows flew out, enveloping Zhang Yide's whole body, and even blocking the way to retreat.
But Zhang Yide was not afraid, the eight-zhang snake spear in his hand spun, and he burst into a shout, "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is most tired of you ghosts who hide their heads and faces." ”
With a swing of the eight-zhang snake spear, a black dragon roared out, and the sharp dragon claws tore through, breaking all those arrows, and then unstoppably slashed into the man in black.
Suddenly, screams sounded one after another, and more than a dozen people in black were all killed by Zhang Yide in just one round.
Those black-clothed men were only second-order or third-order martial artists, and they were completely vulnerable in front of Zhang Yide.
"Where do you want to escape?"
Zhang Yide suddenly snorted coldly, and the eight-zhang snake spear in his hand flew towards the dense forest.
A black shadow in the forest was speeding towards the dense forest.
Poof!
I saw the eight-zhang snake spear passing through his body.
The man in black didn't even snort, and his body burst and died.
Zhang Yide's eyes carefully scanned the surroundings again, and made sure that there were no other black-clothed people lurking, so he put away the eight-zhang snake spear and walked towards Chen Xiao.
He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "My lord, these men in black have all been killed!" ”
Chen Xiao nodded, that's right, it seems that the white young man in front of him is the noble person mentioned in the hexagram.
"I wonder why the five princes are here?" Chen Xiaoxiang asked the young man with a pale face, seeing that Zhang Yide had killed the enemy who was chasing her in an instant, and there was still some disbelief in his eyes.
Now he has determined that the other party's identity is the fifth prince of the Dachang Dynasty, whether it is true or not, he just believes it anyway.
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, the fifth prince came back to his senses, and said with a slight fist at Chen Xiao, "I don't know what this general is called, where does he come from?" ”
"I am a rescuer invited by the Jiang City Lord of Xin'an City, surnamed Chen Mingxiao, and I am about to rush to Xin'an City." Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Just now, from Orion's mouth, he knew that the city lord of Xin'an City was surnamed Jiang, so he said randomly.
"That's it?" The fifth prince frowned, looking at Chen Xiao and the dozen or so soldiers around him, with a puzzled expression.
Although Zhang Yide's combat power just now is not low, but now that more than 20,000 Black Tiger troops are surrounding Xin'an City, what role can this person play?
"The big line is behind." Chen Xiao smiled and continued.
