Chapter 69: A Long Way to Go
When the Phanos Alliance Army was worried, the senior officers of the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force did not have a good time. The balance of strength is placed there, and it is simply unimaginable to defeat the Fanos army in one fell swoop. Some officers have already pointed out: The balance of strength is already very clear, and if the current one really can't attack Ulu in the south, then the previous proposal to consider moving west to the Jielin Theater still has some truth.
Only three of the senior officers of the entire expeditionary force remained silent. General Chi Aotian behaved calmly, this is normal, the nature of the country is easy to change, and it is also normal; Elder Qingluo's behavior is calm, and it is also normal, with Qingluo's experience, what kind of wind and waves have not been experienced, and this little thing in front of him can make him anxious? That is too sorry for the ranking of the battle spirit list; what makes many officers wonder is that from the beginning of the attack and defense of Fangang City, the steadiness shown by Ta Yang, a yin man, is staggering. This guy has always been the biggest stirring stick of the expeditionary force before, and he likes to find trouble on weekdays, lest the world be chaotic, how can he be quiet like a virgin now?
When His Royal Highness, the Chief High Priest of the Zoroastrian Sect, arrived in Van Gang City with a powerful foreign aid group, all the mysteries were revealed.
Watching Ta Yang return to normalcy, he yelled and shouted at every senior officer and His Royal Highness the Zoroastrian High Priest, and even poked his finger in the face of General Chi Aotian.
Arrogant, extremely arrogant, the masculine charm of the black-robed priest is unleashed in its own unique way.
The middle and lower-ranking officers of the expeditionary force and the ordinary soldiers immediately made up their minds -- they did not dare to go up to Liangshan without three feet three!
No one knew what the General, His Royal Highness the Chief Priest, Elder Qingluo, and the others were talking about when they were pushed into the big tent by Ta Yang, and the officers who were not of enough rank had to wait outside—by the way, they heard the screams of a giant dragon and a giant fool from the other side of Fangang City.
It was so miserable that it made people's hearts tremble. Except for the giant dragon and the giant fool, most of the other people understood the huge lethality contained in these words: the trial that required the help of the three fire sacrifices to complete, and what did he say about dry firewood and cooked rice, and real gold that was not afraid of fire refining or something. Oh my God! Once the three fire gods possess their bodies, their control over the flames is definitely comparable to that of the three fire magisters. Three fire magisters are strong enough to challenge a divine dragon. Hey...... This time, the silly boy is in trouble, or is it a big disaster.
In the cranky thinking of the officers, the door of the council hall was gently pushed open from the inside, and the first to come out was His Royal Highness the Chief Priest, the young priest obviously had a satisfied smile on his face, followed by the Great Priest was the half-division Tayang, whose face was full of horizontal meat as usual, followed by General Qu Jianhong, who seemed to be preoccupied, followed by Su Wen and others, and the last person to come out was Chi Aotian, whose face was as cold as ice.
As for what the "meeting on the life and death of the expeditionary force and the army of the Desert Empire" talked about? All the people who attended the meeting were so tight-lipped that they didn't talk about it with anyone at all.
However, in the next few days, the officers and cadres clearly felt that something big was about to happen.
Tayan completely took over the command of the expeditionary force, and every day, more than thirty teams of super scout rangers were dispatched, each of which was more than 50 horsemen, and soon, the cadres who were interested discovered that there was a secret hidden in it-except for the first two days, from the third day, every day in the early morning, when the rangers sent out in the early morning closed in the evening, there were bound to be a few fewer people in the troops......
No one dared to inquire about anything, and there was no need for Ta Yang to issue any gag order, and it would not be an ornament if the Imperial Army had made seven slashes and thirteen kills.
The next thing made the officers and cadres even more shocked--the black-robed pastor, who had been in the position of commander for several days, actually returned the hot throne he had just sat on to General Chi Aotian, and by the way, he bowed his hand to the other officers: "The old man wants to go out to do something, haha...... See you later, see you later. ”
Leaving with Tayan were two magisters of the wind and earth types, as well as a small team of allied soldiers in the Flower Language Plains.
Chi Aotian, Su Wen, Qu Jianhong and other senior officers sent out of the north gate of Fangang City, and when they said goodbye one by one, Ta Yang sang loudly, and the rough singing voice of the black-robed priest sounded in the wilderness: "Tie the tiger's hand, hang the mouth of the river, the car is like a chicken and a horse like a dog; ”
Many officers looked at each other, and this kind of steady, rut-like rhyme and consistent lyrics had never been heard before.
I don't know if it's the scene to the people or the people to the scene, a dry and cold north wind whistled by, and the red floating soil rose in all directions, hitting the hunting cloaks of the soldiers.
The commander Chi Aotian didn't speak, and Su Wen didn't want to touch his head by himself.
"Take care all the way, the mountain road is rugged, your Excellency must be careful. Qu Jianhong stepped forward to say goodbye on behalf of the officers left behind.
"Haha, look at your fake look. Tayang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Now I am Zhizhu in my hands, and I use you to worry about it." But you, be careful. ”
As he spoke, Ta Yang took out a cloth bag from his arms, threw it casually and almost smashed it on Qu Jianhong's face, with a loud bang...... This one...... Could it be that Zhizhu is such a big handful in his hand? Tayang himself uncovered the mystery: "It's for you to play, it's okay...... Just count ......"
Qu Jian's red eyes were quick, and he grabbed the pocket in the air, his hand was light, and his heart sank—the young general guessed what was in the bag.
"Your Excellency, be careful along the way. Well...... When will we meet again?" Qu Jianhong greeted seemingly casually.
"Hehe, soon, it won't take a few days...... But I can see you, can you see me, can't you say......" I don't know when Tayan spoke like a true wise priest and hid his tail.
Qu Jianhong gently pinched the cloth pocket in his hand, thoughtful, and was speechless for a while.
Ta Yang looked up to the sky again and laughed a few times, drove the camel pedal with both feet, and patted the camel saddle rhythmically with both hands: "I want to find the way through the flowers, go straight into the depths of the white clouds, and show the rainbow with great energy." I am Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, not for the vermilion lip Dan face, what is the long howl. Drunk dance down the mountain, the bright moon returns one by one. ”
The singing is fading away!
"Tayan...... Archpriest ...... What did I give you?" Su Wen looked at Qu Jianhong's solemn face, unable to suppress his curiosity, and asked cautiously.
"Hmph......" Qu Jianhong laughed twice: "I want to know this secret?"
Su Wen nodded desperately like a chicken eating rice.
"When this secret is revealed, I promise...... Let you be the first to know. Qu Jianhong stuffed the cloth pocket into the inner lining of the plate armor, laughed twice, turned his head and left.
"Grandma's, an old god stick has gone, and a little god stick has come, this day is really unbearable. Su Wen muttered in a low voice, this Tayan is really a damn old guy, these days he has been mysterious and sneaky, from time to time he finds someone to talk to alone, and from time to time he sends out the troops in formation, and even ...... Even Chi Aotian didn't know where these soldiers went.
"General Chi, General Qu, we are also leaving. Standing at the gate of the North City Gate, Grand Priest Adam Ping nodded politely: "This fierce battle is inevitable, please take care." ”
After speaking, the chief priest took the last three fire priests and more than 30 retinues (nearly half of them were sand lizard phantom beast knights), and left southeast lightly.
On the evening of January 30, the spring of the 7th year of the magic calendar, the remaining troops in Fangang City were less than 10,000, and only three senior officers were left in Fangang City, Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, and Su Wen.
Three senior officers are struggling with their final moments.
Suddenly, the gate of the courtyard was slammed open, and then there was the sound of soldiers running, and a vulture swordsman rushed in, sweat drawing a few furrows on the young face: "Deputy Commander, Pastor Tayan has an accident!"
What the?
Su Wen in the conference hall was so shocked that he stood up-Chi Aotian sat still, Qu Jian's red hand trembled slightly, and he endured it and didn't move.
In Su Wen's heart, even if everyone in the world gets their shoes wet, Tayang must be the yin man standing on the shore slapping and gloating, laughing and saying cool things.
The Vulture Swordsman pulled out a sweat-soaked letter from his bosom, written by the Wind Magister, to the effect that according to the previous arrangement, the two Magus accompanied Tayang to the Lan Mountain in the northern part of the Flower Language Plain to complete a huge civil engineering project.
It can be said that it is going very well!
After being burned by the fire for dozens of days, no matter how solid the rock is, it will become brittle, not to mention that the main body of Lanshan is originally sedimentary rock, and the fire completely destroyed the structure of the sedimentary rock, and the exposed stones broke by hand. The fires and the dry season followed, and all the trees on the mountain were burned bare, and it was very fast to move and engage in civil work.
But, just then, something happened!
The black-robed archpriest of Tayan, the advisor of the expeditionary force and the title of the demon, watched the two magisters quickly complete the set task, and danced with joy, as a result, he fell off the cliff with a stumble.
The two Magisters and dozens of soldiers who accompanied them watched as High Priest Tayan fell like a pebble on a rock, and was bounced up and fell again.
In a hurry, Han Feng immediately jumped down, and the Wind Magister summoned a mid-level Wind Magic Spirit in the crash, and the Magister harnessed the magic spirit and Tayan to land on the same rock with his feet behind his feet - something strange happened: His Excellency the Wind Magister couldn't find Tayan!
What's even more bizarre is that at the same time, the earth magister and other entourages on the top of the cliff clearly watched Tayang lying on the rock, and Hanfeng even walked back and forth in Tayan's pool of blood a few times, and even said that he couldn't see where Tayan was.
One by one, the people on the cliff climbed down the rope, and the result was ...... All those who stood on the big rock could not see the shadow of Tayan at all, and those who stood on the cliff still insisted that the High Priest Tayan lay on the rock and vomited blood.
......
The most controversial priest in the War of the Gods, the demon Tayan, has mysteriously disappeared.
Tayan's disappearance is full of mysteries: as a second advanced archpriest, Tayang can silently perform the levitation technique, and it stands to reason that there will be no danger after releasing the levitation at a height of less than 100 meters.
And Qu Jianhong, another protagonist outside the north gate of Fangang City, has kept silent about this matter since then......
The two Magisters and the accompanying soldiers became scapegoats, and no one believed what they said: standing on the cliff you could see people, but when you came down, you couldn't see anything. Isn't that really just talking nonsense with your eyes open?
It's just that, with the honorable status of the two Magisters, is it necessary for them to deceive people?
Before the three people in the room could recover from the shock of Tayan's uncertain fate, the door of the council hall was opened again--the difference was that this time the door opened quietly, and a small mercenary cadre looked inside, and finally made up his mind to squeeze in against the crack in the door, and closed the door with his hand. The little boy thought for a moment, took the latch from the side of the gate, and slammed it shut. The chamber suddenly became dark again.
The three senior officers in the room looked at the extremely strange behavior of the young man from the Ice and Snow Continent in shock in shock, and the three of them did not speak, but the three of them also knew that there must have been some extremely serious upheaval, otherwise, the leader of the Vulture Swordsman Battalion of the little mercenary group who had just arrived would definitely not have such a performance!
Don't...... Is the sky falling?
