Chapter 469: Thunderclouds Before the War

readx;

On the second day, Du Chen received the crystal secret order from His Majesty the Pope from Bailu, and immediately returned to Durks City to reorganize the army! But the war was all together, and tens of thousands of troops could not be mobilized within a day or two...... Du Chen, who was busy with many things, was anxious, and Flinda was reorganizing the administrative system of Durks City at this time, and comparing military capabilities with Dude at the same time, it can be said that both the military and political circles of Durks City entered a busy pre-war preparation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

During this period, the Holy See's pre-war intelligence continued to be sent to Du Chen's hands through Maas, first of all, the location of the Valley of Thorns, it must be explained that the secrecy of the Valley of Thorns is very rigorous, even Adams, the cronies of the three masters, only know that the Valley of Thorns is in the area of the Great Snow Mountain at the northeast end of Eins, but the Great Snow Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, which ravine is it in...... I'm afraid that only a few masters of the Valley of Thorns know it in their hearts - the rules of the Valley of Thorns, only the family members have the right to 'open their eyes and go out'!

However, the Holy See sacrificed a large number of intelligence personnel, and finally found out a specific range, once the war started, the Holy See would use the Flying Beast Brigade to airdrop the army into this range, and then the carpet search, the war was Du Chen's.

Just when Du Chen was preparing for the war with all his might. The northeastern end of Eins, the Great Snow Mountain!

The two of them walked briskly in the ice and snow, but on the snow behind them, there were no four rows of footprints that should have appeared. One of them had a heavy beast face and a black robe covering his face, and they came to the bottom of an icy cliff, and the black-robed man looked up at a dilapidated building like a cemetery at the top of the cliff, and sighed!

"It's been sixty years, and I, Zig, have finally returned home! The Divine Emperor Cemetery in Zaro Mountain is still the same, and the secret passage in the Valley of Thorns is still the same, but I'm ...... But old!"

Ziggy looked at the scenery of the Great Snow Mountain, and a pair of old eyes unconsciously left two lines of cloudy tears...... The wanderer who has been away from home for 60 years returns to his hometown, and his heart is naturally full of mixed feelings, especially the cemetery of the God Emperor on the cliff, when he was defeated by Thomas here, he was forced to go to Doushen Island and leave his hometown for 60 years!

After a period of remembrance, Ziggy and Avril disappeared among the rocks of the cliff, walked through a wide tunnel, and suddenly opened up in front of them - the outside was icy and snowy, but inside was a paradise of birds and flowers, and in the distance, a large city stood on the grassy plain, simple and magnificent, and the city gate was hung with a plaque - the city of thorns!

It turns out that the Valley of Thorns is like a Qinshui Lake, an extraterrestrial heaven connected by the Tree of Life!

Walking across the vast plain leading to the city gate, he was greeted by an old man sweeping the floor, "Young Master Cha, you are back, this is ......" He glanced at Qi Ge hidden under the black robe in surprise.

"He's my friend, don't ask anything else!"

Avril nodded to him and walked into the city with Ziggy, but just a few steps, Ziggy turned his head and took a deep look at the old man sweeping the floor, and said in a low voice: "Avril, why is Walmart sweeping the floor here?"

"Hey, uncle, do you know old Walmart, he has just been in the valley for more than a year!"

"Walma is the grave keeper of the Beast Clan's Sacred Mountain, I met him five years ago when I paid tribute to those unsung heroes, how did he enter the valley?"

Avril said with a smile: "Uncle Shi doesn't know, a few years ago, Bonis attacked the Grand Canyon of Auerbach, and the demons reappeared in the world, and the old Walmart was worried that the hero's tomb he guarded was destroyed by the demons, so he fled to the snowy mountain with the hero's tablet, preparing to escape from the world. But he couldn't stand the cold of the Great Snow Mountain, and fainted near the Divine Emperor Cemetery in Zaro Mountain, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I rescued him...... You can rest assured, this old man has no quarrel with the world, and he swears that he will never leave the Valley of Thorns for the rest of his life, and there will be no problem!"

Ziggy said 'um' and ignored it, but under the city gate, old Walmart was on a broom and looked at Ziggy's back with a smile...... This old guy is the grave keeper who talked to Du Chen about 'the unsung hero is the real hero' in the Beast Clan's Holy Mountain!

Walking in the remote alley, Avril asked, "Uncle Shi, now that only the third uncle and a few elders who have retreated into the background in the valley know your identity, do you still want to meet them?"

Avril Avril, this time only you, Thomas, and Senna know I'm back, understand?" Zieg shook his head slowly, and said, "Tell me about the changes in the valley! Thomas, the old boy, didn't tell me anything!"

Avril nodded, "Now the few masters in the valley are not the ones you left, the eight masters are the sons of the great elder, and they are still your nephews, and the seven masters ......" briefly introduced the basic status quo of the Valley of Thorns, but for some reason, Avril skipped the three masters, and finally said: "Uncle Shi, since the disappearance of the three masters Konstantin, our Valley of Thorns has been in chaos......"

After thinking about it, Siegliu understood what Avril meant, and snorted coldly: "The three masters are responsible for the command of the army and the salary in the valley, and they have great authority, and Konstantin is missing, so naturally some people are jealous of this position!"

Avril smiled bitterly: "Yes, originally the master designated one person to temporarily replace the position of the third master, but the other masters were not convinced, saying that the new third master had only been in the valley for more than a year, and he was a purple-blooded man of unknown origin, how could he suddenly get a high position!......?

Zieg's brows tightened when he heard this, "Hmph, Thomas, this unsuccessful thing, even excludes his own compatriots!"

"The third uncle is not bad, he didn't kill the master in the face of the master, the most angry is the eight masters!" Avril said angrily: "The new three masters have a daughter, and the beauty of her appearance is the only one she has seen in Avril's life.

Zig narrowed his eyes, and his heart was really angry, his son and nephew did this kind of thing, and the old man was also gloomy, and said, "What happened in the end?

Avril smiled and said, "No, that girl is amazing, she called the gods to control the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the city, and bit the eight masters all over the body, that scene ...... It's ridiculous that a lot of people have been ruined!"

Ziggy also smiled, "Presumably that girl's divine pet is good at spiritual control...... Avril, what's the name of the new three-in-command!?"

The old man chuckled in his heart, the demon clan, the beautiful daughter, the god pet who is good at spiritual control...... Why does it sound so familiar?

Sure enough, Avril replied unexpectedly: "The new third master is called Ted, his daughter is called Helen, and that god pet doesn't see people often, Avril is not familiar with people, it seems to be ...... It's called Su Lan, right?"

"Oh, haha!" Zigger laughed, Avril hurriedly asked the reason, and the old man smiled: "Forget it, you don't know if you say it, it was the most embarrassing battle for me Ziggy, not only was he poisoned and his whole body was closed, but he also asked Francis, who only had a first-level fighting spirit at that time, to clean up as an old thief!"

Avril was suddenly silent, neither asking about the specific grievances between the master and Ted's father and daughter, nor saying anything else...... Ziggy suddenly knew that he had mentioned Francis, the name that it was best not to mention in front of Avril, so he interrupted and said with a smile: "Let's go, go see your master, Senna must have been in a hurry!"

Soon after, Ziggy walked into a small courtyard with tears in his eyes, Avril stayed outside the door, faintly heard the cry inside, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, although the Valley of Thorns was full of turmoil, and several masters made a lot of trouble, but with the master and uncle always by his side, the master and his old man should also go at ease...... When I die, there is someone who cares about me all my life holding my hand by the bedside, and what regret is there when I die? But if I die, who will stay by my side?

Is it a gray-haired grandfather, or a tearful mother?

It won't be him anyway!

...... The military and political preparations for Durks City finally ended a month later, out of secrecy and diplomatic considerations, Du Chen drove 30,000 orc slave troops to an island in the Great Triangle Sea in the name of military exercises, and the Pope spared no expense to transfer all the flying beasts that the Holy See could use to form the largest air transport force after the Fallen God, and waited on this island early!

On this trip to the Great Snow Mountain, Du Chen can be said to have brought almost all of his family background, Du De commanded the army, Flinda took the overall situation, deboned and Andy followed, and even Harry Butler followed Du Chen on the expedition because he was a snow man and was familiar with the environment of the Great Snow Mountain. The work of staying behind in Du Cheng was handed over to Cassini and the two grandmothers, who were enough to ensure the smooth operation of Du Cheng's system.

In just two days, the flying beast sent 30,000 troops to the range of the Great Snow Mountain, and with Dude's military order, the army set up camp in an open field, and the forward general Adams immediately led his troops to search the nearby snow mountains in a carpet manner!

In the warm tent, everyone gathered in front of a huge map, and Bairu smiled: "Brother Francis, General Dude, this is the secret map of the snow-capped mountains made by the Holy See, I won't say much, just one sentence - you just don't exist as a prison army, you can do what you want, but in five months, it will be the Cullen League......"

Du Chen glanced at Du De, who was standing with a halberd in iron-faced black armor, and wanted to boast that the battle would be resolved in three months, but Du De said lightly: "The war is impermanent, the enemy situation in the Valley of Thorns is unknown, and I will not promise when to end the war!"

Bailu laughed twice, "Since General Dude said so, then I can't say anything, and the military will be handed over to you, the general! Brother Fu, Mars, there is a cemetery of the God Emperor near here, although it is dilapidated, but as godfathers, we have to go over to worship anything!"

Du Chen pursed his lips, and Mars shouted: "There are really fucking rules, Lao Tzu is not a god, don't go!"

Mars is not a civilian godfather, so he can not go, but Du Chen has to be aware of his identity, judging from the map, this tomb of the god emperor is located on a snow-capped mountain called Zaro, but the body of the real Prince is not buried inside!

On the three continents, the tomb of the god emperor is like the tomb of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in Du Chen's previous life, thousands of thousands, I can't count how many there are, but if you inquire carefully, in fact, they are all clothes and mounds built by later generations for various reasons, to put it bluntly, there are two words - fake!

The tomb of the god on the Zaro Snow Mountain may have been used by the snow tribe to commemorate the god emperor a long time ago, but then the tribe died out, and the tomb of the god emperor standing in the ice and snow was also dilapidated.

Walking slowly up the snowy mountain in the heavy snow, Bai Lu suddenly smiled, "Brother, we're late, Mrs. Zun has more heart than us!"

Xue Ji is repairing the broken tombstone with her own hands, looking serious and not slacking off, while Little Beibei is holding a big broom and sweeping the snow in front of the tomb, but the hippie smiles and looks like she is having a good time!

Bairu and Mars stepped forward to worship, but Du Chen came to Xue Ji's side and said with a smile: "It's cold, why did you come here to sweep the tomb?"

Yukihime said seriously, "This is the honor that His Majesty the God Emperor deserves!"

Du Chen was speechless, but thinking about it, Xue Ji's secret method Moon Wheel Dance was born from the Nine Divine Tricks of the God Emperor, and she was instilled by Margaret since she was a child how great and noble the God Emperor was, and it can be said that she respects the God Emperor to the core, and this move is not surprising.

Du Chen glanced at Xue Ji's hands bitterly, "It's good that the heart has arrived, it's icy and snowy, let's ...... back"

Xue Ji Zhengse interrupted Du Chen, "Wait, I'm going to repair it again!"

Du Chen opened his mouth and said in his heart, It's just a well-dressed mound, what's worth repairing? Even if the God Emperor is really buried here, a scientist who was killed by the artificial intelligence he developed...... After thinking about it, Du Chen hid his words in his heart and interrupted: "What about Yaya? Isn't he with Beibei?"

I don't know when Du Chen learned to think and talk in front of Xue Ji, and he didn't have the urge to say anything when his mind was hot when he was in first love.

Xue Ji smiled this time: "Alas, our great master is deep again, No, the highest snow mountain!"

I saw that on the highest snow-capped mountain nearby, under the protection of Andy, Alex stood with his waist crossed and facing the wind, wearing only a pair of red triangular panties, looking up at the sky with his eyes slightly closed, as if thinking about some profound question!

Du Chen couldn't cry or laugh, he wasn't afraid that the child would freeze, but on the top of the snowy mountain, a stupid boy who was only wearing underwear and couldn't even count a few days in February stood so stupidly...... Little Beibei ran over and grabbed Du Chen's arm, "Dad, my brother is stimulated, he has been deep for more than a month, don't disturb him!"

Du Chenqi said: "What is Yaya stimulated?"

Little Beibei said angrily, "Dad doesn't care about the growth of his children at all! Last time on Doushen Island, my younger brother was bullied by Thomas, and he was angry, saying that he wanted to think about the mystery of evolution under the torment of ice and snow!" The little guy tilted his head and thought about it, "My brother said that this is called ...... Master, you must motivate yourself and wash away the shame!"

Du Chen was stunned, indeed, he was so busy during this time that he didn't have time to take care of the children, but ...... On the snowy mountain, Andy was bored gnawing on a bone, and said helplessly: "Young master, have you come up with it? Let's go back, Andy is about to freeze to death!"

Alex still refused to open his eyes, pouted and said, "Snow wolves will also freeze to death?"

Andy sighed helplessly and said tentatively, "Why don't you go back and cook the meal first, and then come back and continue to think?"

"Well, that makes sense!" Yaya opened her eyes, glanced at Andy coolly, and then at the sky, "Master, come back and keep thinking!"

Andy cheered and ran back to the camp with Yaya on his back, but at this time, Du Chen was already worshipping the God Emperor under the gaze of Xue Ji, and Andy ran too fast again, and no one noticed that a small thundercloud faintly gathered in the sky above the place where Alex was standing just now............ Almost at the same time, in the Valley of Thorns, on the top floor of the ancient tower in the inner city, Thomas, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, sat coldly on the main seat, his eyes swept over the seven people below, Avril sat beside him, and Ted, who was the third master, sat in the last seat!

"A few masters, tens of thousands of orc armies have appeared on the Zaro Snow Mountain, and they are searching for them on a large scale, they are under the banner of the Duchen God Cult, and the person leading the search is our traitor Adams in the Valley of Thorns! Obviously, Francis is coming for our Valley of Thorns...... Now that the valley lord is no longer in charge, he ordered me to temporarily take the position of the valley master, what are you all thinking, say it!"

The white-haired, wrinkled face of the four masters hesitated, "Second master, although we are full of criminals and wicked people in Thorn Valley, we have never taken the initiative to provoke anyone, and the location of Thorn City is only known to a few of us...... Maybe it's a misunderstanding, what if the army from outside just came to do some treasure hunting and find people and happened to come to our door?"

"Hmph, that traitor from Adams led the search, and tens of thousands of troops have surrounded our door, can this still be a misunderstanding?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll just ask you one sentence -- how to fight!? Old Five, you say it first!"

The fifth master was a short and fat old man, and said with a smile, "Francis has come to the door, we have no choice but two choices, take the initiative to attack, or keep the door closed...... Second, you must already be confident, right?"

Thomas sneered, "Sixth, seventh, what do you mean? Take the initiative or stay behind closed doors, give me a 'quasi-word'!"

The two people who were named look at me, I look at you, the sixth master said first: "Taking the initiative to attack, it is easy to expose the true location of our Thorn Valley, and lose our biggest reliance - the hidden geographical advantage, so I suggest that we keep it behind closed doors!"

The seventh master also said: "I agree with the sixth brother's opinion, it is the best policy to stay behind closed doors!"

Thomas nodded, and regardless of whether what they said was right or wrong, there were finally two who gave the right words!, "Crisson, what do you say? Second uncle, I don't want ambiguous nonsense!"

The Eight Masters Crisson is Ziggy's nephew, so Thomas calls him by his first name, and he doesn't have the honorific title of the Eight Masters, well, he is the unlucky guy who was bitten all over by Helen's snakes, insects, and plague!

Krisson is the only junior outside of the moment, not very old, thirty-five or sixteen years old, red hair and tall, his appearance is fierce and shrewd, he knocked on the table slowly, attracted everyone's attention, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, I want to remind everyone of one thing first!"

His eyes were on Ted, who was sitting at the end, "One of us, when I was in the valley to explain the background, said that their father and daughter were in St. John's City, helping Francis rescue his eldest brother Steve......! Hehe, I guess a few uncles have understood, right?"

Ted snorted and said lightly: "I, Ted, have a clear distinction between public and private, and our father and daughter do have personal favors with Francis, but now I am the third leader of the Valley of Thorns, and I put the Valley of Thorns first in everything!

I have to say that Thomas is still very clear when he is not competing with Zigger, at least at this moment he knows very well that although Ted does not invite himself to be treated, he is indeed a person who distinguishes between public and private, and he can't suppress his mood at such a time, otherwise the civil strife will already start before the big war comes...... Thomas smiled: "I can trust Thomas, Crisson, I don't want to hear anything like that again, understand?!"

Krisson nodded and smiled, "I understand, I am the one who neglected the three masters, I apologize for my recklessness!"

As he spoke, he got up and bowed to Ted, his attitude was sincere, and he said with a smile: "Next, let me tell you my opinion-Second Uncle, Adams, a traitor, has always been blindfolded in and out of the Valley of Thorns, so if Adams is allowed to look for it like this, how long will it take him to find the true location of our Valley of Thorns? This time is the key to choosing offense and defense!"

Ted also said: "Exactly, if it takes three or four months for Adams to find us, then we can close our doors, the Zaro Snow Mountain is frozen for thousands of miles, and winter will come again in four months, when Francis and other high-level fighting gods can stand it, but ordinary soldiers will be unable to endure the winter ice of the Snow Mountain, they will definitely withdraw their troops! But if they can find us in only a month or two...... Then it is better to take the initiative and fight for the initiative on the frontal battlefield!"

Thomas smiled coldly, and after talking for a long time, he finally heard two real words of military conspiracy, but why didn't these two fucking sentences come from my descendants, the sixth and seventh!?

"Well said the two masters, how long do you think it will take Adams to find us!?"

The crowd pondered.

Avril took in all of this behind the mask, and smiled bitterly in her heart, Francis actually came to kill me?

Although there are 50,000 standing troops in the Valley of Thorns, more than 100,000 soldiers can be mobilized if necessary...... The fourth is a fool, relying on seniority and bloodline to have today's position, the fifth is so sleek, no one knows the real plan in his heart, the sixth and seventh have always echoed Uncle Thomas, and Thomas has not put his mind on the ground since he knew that Ziggy was back, and he thought about how to be jealous of Uncle Ziggy who stayed by the teacher's side every day!

Crisson and Ted have real skills, but the two of them ...... Just don't fight yourself!

How can this battle be fought? Can't the Valley of Thorns hold on? It's the teacher's life's work!

After a moment, Ted said, "How long it will take for Adams to find us depends on how they are looking, if they only search on the snow, they will not be able to find the Valley of Thorns in their lives!

"According to the intelligence, Francis and his generals are not stupid, and they can't be found on the snow, so they should soon think of using the method of digging rocks in the mountains, and they will never delay for three or four months, so ...... We're going to take the initiative!"

"Yes, yes, take the initiative!" the four masters seemed to be moved, and nodded again and again. The others looked at each other and nodded.

Thomas's eyes were cold, "Very good, since most people agree to take the initiative, when and how to attack!?"

Ted immediately replied in a heavy voice: "Tonight, 20,000 troops were transported from the No. 4 secret passage, and they went around to the peak behind the Zaro Snow Mountain to lay an ambush, and at the same time, the battle weapon battalion assembled from the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth secret passages to the steep slope on the west side of the Zaro Snow Mountain...... Never more than 30%!"

Thomas laughed, "Okay! What can I do, tonight will surprise the old camp of Francis, the sixth will lead the holy weapon camp, the seventh will be responsible for the ambush, and the commander-in-chief will ......"

His gaze came to Ted, but he skipped over to the initiator of the plan, "Clesson, over to you!"
