A caravan drove on the official road leading to Shengshan County, with endless refugee camps on both sides.

In the middle of the caravan, a middle-aged man on a horse with a halberd looked worriedly at the refugee camps on both sides, and his lips and teeth moved slightly:

"Too much"

The young man on the side, who was also riding a horse, approached and asked in a low voice:

"Xue Tou, what's too much?"

The horses ridden by the two are all with the blood of demon beasts, tall and handsome, and their muscles are extremely distinct.

The middle-aged man glanced sideways at the young man:

"There are too many refugees."

The young man then glanced back at the refugees, was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:

"So, the refugee camp here is a lot bigger than I've seen before, but what's wrong with that?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were deeply worried:

"If you're not careful, you'll be able to riot in these camps."

The young man was a little unimpressed, pointing to the military camp stationed in the distance:

"There are border troops stationed over there, and judging by the size of this barracks, there are 1,000 people, so there is no need to worry about a riot."

The middle-aged man sighed and said in a low voice:

"I'm not worried about Shengshan County, I'm worried about our caravans."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became strange, and he looked at the numb refugees, and said in a low voice:

"It shouldn't be, it's a felony to attack the official road."

The middle-aged man shook his head:

"If you can't live, who cares about this? I hope that the inspection of the Imperial Court Supervisor and the Heavenly Division can evacuate these refugees as soon as possible, and if they continue to gather like this, these refugees will not survive, and they may really be robbed. ”

The young man's eyes flashed, and he clenched the blade in his hand slightly:

"Well, the scale of the demon beast tide near the Wanxing Mountains this time seems to be."

And his voice did not fall,

A flock of birds suddenly flew out between the mountains and forests on the side of the official road.

A large flock of birds,

It's so big that it can almost be said to cover the sky!

And the flock of birds came and went quickly, and in a few breaths, they had already swept over the official road and fled towards the territory of Great Yan

And this sudden change was seen by everyone on the official road, and it also made everything on the official road seem to press the static button.

Everyone knows what these birds represent, but no one dares to act rashly when they are stuck in this position.

And in the midst of all this,

The middle-aged man's hand holding the halberd began to tremble slightly, but he did not look in the direction of the mountains and forests, but looked at the refugee camp again:

"The monster is coming, ready to fight"

The young man came back to his senses:

"What?"

The middle-aged man waved his halberd and let out an explosion:

"The caravan closes its formation and prepares to engage!!"

“.”

After all, the demon beast is still breaking through the mountain forest.

As the first demon beast entered the refugee camp, and as a refugee died in the demon mouth, the panic spread irrepressibly!

Screams of terror, mournful wails, and angry yells almost immediately rang out, as if some domino had been toppled, and chaos spread rapidly through the slums on both sides of the official road.

"Demon beasts. The monster is coming!! Come on! ”

"Ahh Help me. ”

"Straight mother, the village is gone, and even these two Xipo don't let people stay, the court"

"Child, where's my child?!! Second baby!! ”

"Don't, don't rob me of my food, it's for my mother's life, don't kill me!! Please!! ”

"Run, Fan'er, don't run on the official road, the old men there won't show mercy, run to Shengshan County!!"

As the panic spread, the camp exploded like boiling water.

In the refugee camp on the side of the Wanxing Mountains, countless ragged people poured like an avalanche towards the official road.

Some people want to escape to the other side of the road, but others want to take advantage of the chaos to grab a big deal.

The coerced people and people with ulterior motives rushed to the various caravans on the official road in waves.

And the caravans on the official road reacted equally quickly when they saw such a scene.

"These refugees are crazy!!"

"Dart team ready! Those who collide with the caravan will be killed!! ”

"The caravan from the four seas also dares to rob it?! Kill!! ”

"These are ordinary people, do you really want to do it?!"

"Bastard thing! Ordinary people will come to grab the goods?! This group of people has gone crazy! ”

"If you don't do it, this group of refugees won't show mercy to your subordinates, and you will pay the money for the goods to the trading house?! Kill!!! ”

The darts and knights who were guarding the caravan drew their swords one after another, but these bright blades still could not stop the tide of refugees who were engulfed in panic and madness

Like the tide of the sea, the tide of refugees swept away the caravan on the official road, and then swept towards Shengshan County, which is not far away!

As soon as the demon beast appeared, the psychedelic array engraved around Shengshan County was immediately activated, and in an instant, Shengshan County and the boundary within a radius of one kilometer outside Shengshan County were already shrouded in a thick layer of white mist.

Looking down from the sky, the entire Shengshan County seemed to have disappeared.

But this is for the outside world, and the internal chaos of the phantom array continues.

Even though most of the demon beasts had been isolated, the black wave of refugees was still rushing towards the well-defined city wall like ants!

The panic had swallowed up the sanity of these poor people, and they desperately wanted to run to what they thought was safe, even if the monster behind them had been blocked.

It's a pity that the border army of Shengshan County will not allow them to enter the city.

The generals in charge of Shengshan County knew very well that letting this group of crazy refugees into the city would cause an even greater disaster.

The border troops stationed at the edge of the refugee camp formed an army formation and waited for it.

In the border army Qu general's persuasion to no avail, under the continuous impact of the surging refugee tide,

The killing, it began.

Kill!

Whoever dares to storm the city gate will kill the people until this group of crazy refugees calm down.

ultimately

After all, the chaos was still confined to Shengshan County.

In just half an hour, 10,000 people died quietly under the turmoil brought by the demon beast, and the people who really died in the mouth of the demon beast were no more than a hundred.

There are three gates in Shengshan County, east, north and south, and there is no gate because the west side faces the Wanxing Mountains.

After the trade route was unblocked, Shengshan County set up three markets in the east, north and south along these three city gates.

Each market is bustling and the management is simple and crude.

Garrison troops.

Now the supreme administrator of Shengshan County is a lieutenant general, and it is indeed difficult to expect a big boss to manage these things.

An army of 500 men was stationed next to each bazaar, and if anyone dared to do anything in the market, they would be dragged out and cut down.

There are disadvantages and advantages for the general to be in charge, at least in an emergency, and the entire Shengshan County has a much faster response than the bureaucracy in power.

For example, right now,

Within half an hour of the arrival of the demon beast tide, the bustling market was forcibly emptied.

Groups of border soldiers armed with sharp blades were patrolling back and forth in the city.

Standing by the window of the inn, Xu Yuan looked at the thick fog in the sky that seemed to be eternal.

In fact, the moment he saw the activation of this psychedelic array, Xu Yuan knew that if there was no accident, it should have been another accident.

And that's exactly what happened.

In addition to the sergeants patrolling the streets, every once in a while, people on horseback would shout along the streets to reassure the people.

However, listening to the description of the shouter, the scale of this demon beast tide is not large, and General Li Bi has already led his troops out of the city to kill demons under the order of Captain Wang.

The psychedelic array set up by Xu Xinyao can completely trap the attacking demon beasts in the mist illusion array, and lead them out in batches, so that the border troops of the formed military array can surround and kill them in batches.

Efficient and secure.

According to the description of the person who shouted, this formation is estimated to be removed tomorrow.

One last glance at the street where martial law was already under martial law, Xu Yuan shook his head slightly, turned around and sat back on the bed.

Ran Qingmo was next door, and the two of them didn't live in the same room.

After a short silence, Xu Yuan said in a low voice:

"Old man Luo?"

“.”

A moment of silence,

The voice of the remnant soul of the saint came, and the voice was relaxed and laughing:

"How?"

"You say, with the wisdom of these demon beasts, how can they know about attacking the city?"

"Huh?"

The remnant soul of the saint sighed lightly, and then said with a low chuckle:

"There are more than a dozen of these demon beasts in a litter, and the ancient abyss can't carry such a large population, so they can only use these demon beasts as consumables to expand outward."

Xu Yuan shook his head:

"I know this,

"I mean, why do these monsters like to gnaw on the hard bones of the Fortress?

"Wouldn't it be nice to rush through some corners? Anyway, they are all consumables, so you don't have to think about how to go back, as long as you break into the hinterland, the trouble for the Great Yan Dynasty will naturally be much greater. ”

The remnant soul of the saint spoke in a leisurely tone:

"Demon beasts don't have intelligence, but demon clans do."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly reacted to the meaning of the words of the sage's remnant soul, but only spit out five words for a while:

"It's infighting again.6."

"Fighting" on the border line, the Great Yande Sect and the Imperial Court will pull each other's backs, but if it really breaks into the hinterland, it will infringe on the common interests of the Imperial Court and the Sect.

"Slip? It's really slippery. ”

The remnant of the saint grinned:

"The tide of demon beasts in the Wanxing Mountains only attacks the town every spring, which can be regarded as a routine temptation of Gu Yuan.

"As long as your Great Yan Dynasty can hold it every year, then everyone will be fine, but if your Great Yan Dynasty is unable to maintain the 100,000-mile border defense line of the Wanxing Mountain Range in any year, Gu Yuan will probably have to consider whether to move seriously.

"The fertile soil of the Central Plains is much stronger than the place where birds don't in Guyuan."

“.”

When Xu Yuan heard these words, he was slightly stunned.

He remembered the world line of "Gu Yuan" as the final boss in Cangyuan, and it was estimated that those world lines were because the Great Yan Dynasty was unable to maintain this long border defense line, which caused Gu Yuan to judge that Great Yan was weak and took the opportunity to invade on a large scale

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan looked at the layer of mist outside, and suddenly asked:

"Old man Luo, can you forcibly break this phantom formation?"

"What?" The remnant soul of the saint looked slightly surprised.

Xu Yuan repeated in a low voice:

"I said, can you and Ran Qingmo take me to stand out with this psychedelic formation?"

"If the old man is in his prime."

"Alright, don't say it." Xu Yuan sighed.

"Tsk tsk, boy."

The remnant of the saint smacked his lips, but immediately asked, "What are you kid worried about?" ”

"This afternoon, before Zhou Xiaohe left, he said that he would come back to this inn this evening to look for us, but they haven't come yet." Xu Yuan's tone was solemn.

The remnant of the saint reacted quickly:

"Do you suspect that this demon beast attack on the city has something to do with the Vientiane Sect?"

Xu Yuan nodded:

"I didn't think about it so much at the time, just half an hour after the two of them left, the demon beast tide came, and their status in the Vientiane Sect should not be low, this is too coincidental."

The remnant of the saint hesitated slightly:

"But the Vientiane Sect has no reason to arrange the drama of demon beasts attacking the city, what good do dead people do to them?"

Xu Yuan slowly got up and walked towards Ran Qingmo's room next door, and said in a low voice in his heart:

"This is also something I can't figure out, first spend so much money to cooperate with my fourth sister to build this psychedelic array, and then arrange this drama of demon beasts attacking the city, except for the dead, this Vientiane Sect"

Speaking of which,

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly jumped, and his feet were also slammed:

"This Vientiane Sect. Probably not, right? ”

The thoughts that flashed in his heart made Xu Yuan feel a trace of incredulity.

"What not?" The remnant of the saint asked.

Xu Yuan hesitated slightly, but still glanced at the soul ring and spit out a word:

"Ghost Mist."

“.”

Hearing this, the remnant soul of the saint was obviously stunned for a moment.

Xu Yuan didn't rush out again, but just put his hand on the wooden door and fell into deep thought.

"You mean the Vientiane Sect wants to create a ghost mist?" The voice of the remnant soul of the saint became interested.

Xu Yuan ignored the old man, frowned and said:

"This is hundreds of thousands of people, the Vientiane Sect shouldn't have the audacity to blatantly create ghost fog, right?"

The remnant soul of the saint did not have Xu Yuan's hesitation, and said in a relaxed voice:

"Xu boy, this is not blatant."

"Huh?"

"The big array set up by your sister can isolate everything in here, even if the people in here die, the people in the outside world will only think that they are monsters."

“.”

Xu Yuan was slightly silent, his eyes hesitant:

"The number of hundreds of thousands of people can be sacrificed, which is enough to put the Vientiane Sect."

"But no one will know."

The remnant of the saint shook his head and interrupted.

“.” Xu Yuan.

The remnant soul of the saint smiled softly and said in a low voice:

"Actually, it's very simple if you want to verify your idea, go to the yamen and ask the generals of the border army, see if this formation phantom array can be closed, and see how many demon beasts are attacking this time, if it can match, then it will be eight or nine and ten."

Xu Yuan groaned slightly, his eyes were extremely solemn:

"That's it, first call Ran Qingmo to the county government to have a look, if the Vientiane Sect really wants to create ghost fog here, it should secretly lay out other formations."

When the remnant soul of the saint heard this, he silently reminded him:

"Convergence point, even if the power of the formation in this city is broken, it will not be easy for me and Ran Yatou to operate at full strength, not to mention that the border army in this city can still form a military formation."

Xu Yuan pushed the door and walked out:

"Don't worry, I know how to measure."
