Chapter 11: Ueda Castle
Under the dark sky, dark clouds are gathering. A quiet and chilling stone city looks even more eerie in such an environment. One side of the mountain is surrounded by water on both sides, and there is only one directional gate left, which is tightly guarded.
Although there were always a lot of soldiers passing and going on the walls, they could only hear the footsteps of the machines. But such a voice can't help but make people feel a little uncomfortable, because no matter how orderly the army is, there will inevitably be some discordant steps, but these soldiers in front of them are completely free of these problems. It's like a natural soldier, only following the orders of his superiors and doing his best.
Some of them were humans in blue-black armor and spears, but from their godless and empty eyes, it was instantly clear that they had lost their sense of self and could only follow the instructions of others. Some of the soldiers have gray-blue skin, strange shapes, or some scales on their faces, or slender tails on their backs, all of which are humanoid, and they all wear different armor and swing around. Although the discipline is not as good as that of the human soldiers just now, it can be seen from the bulging muscles on their bodies that these guys are much stronger than humans.
"It's really a boring day......", a man wearing cloth armor and a long knife hanging from his waist was leaning against the wall boredly, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and his body was faintly smelling of alcohol.
Da Da Da ...... There was a slight rush of footsteps, and the man turned his head boredly, only to see a red-eyed strange man hurrying past the man's eyes with twin knives made of stainless steel.
"Xiutuo?", the man stopped the strange man, and then asked lazily, "What are you doing so busy?"
The strange man stopped his steps slightly, looked at the man standing beside him, and showed a strange look on his face:
"It's not like you don't know...... Because I was escaped by two generals last time, my lord ordered me to rest at Ueda Castle. It's said to be resting, but in fact, it's giving me the troubles here......", Xiutuo said helplessly.
"Hey...... You're really miserable, forget it, anyway, I'll leave the affairs of Ueda City to you, in fact, there is Cao Ren that guy in charge, you don't have much to do, right?", the man said lazily, holding a wine jug made of white jade in his hand, playing with it, and asked with an inexplicable smile.
"That's what you say...... But there are some things, Cao Ren, that guy also gave me some things...... For example, taking care of the dungeon, although it is a quiet position, it is also boring to stay there. Shutuo looked at the man in front of him and said casually.
"Or my position as a gatekeeper ...... idle," the man held the flask and took two sips, no longer bothering with the cultivators, thinking about his own business.
"Really...... Why do you have to take care of the dungeon or something......", before Shuta could finish speaking, a fresh breeze wafted from the air and flowed past the two of them.
"Hmm......", the man on the side only felt that the gust of wind made him quite comfortable, so he didn't pay attention to anything. As for Xiu Tuo on the side, the red light in his eyes lit up a little, and then quickly dimmed, but he thought in his heart:
"Hey...... It's hiding in the wind...... Looks like there's something to play here......"
............
Ueda Castle dungeon
This is the most heavily guarded place in Ueda Castle, or perhaps the loosest place. It is said to be the strictest, because this is not an ordinary dungeon, not only guarded by soldiers, but more importantly, the dungeon is depicted with various techniques, blocking the entry of others from the outside world, and if you don't get a token and password, ordinary people will never be able to break in.
And this is the place where Ueda Castle's defense is the most loose. Because they have absolute trust in the techniques here, because this is where Yuan Lu Zhi personally supervised the construction and portrayed the techniques. They have an almost crazy trust in Yuanlu Zhi, a god-like man, and they don't believe that anyone can break through this place from the outside.
At this moment, a strange wind blew in through the entrance to the upper level of the dungeon, and the soldiers standing in the doorway did not react to it, because they were only responsible for guarding the place and not allowing any life to enter it. But this wind is not within their jurisdiction.
The wind crossed the doorway locked by the soldiers and headed deeper. Unexpectedly, there was no obstacle on the way, and I went directly to the bottom of the dungeon.
In one of the dark cells of the dungeon, several humanoid monsters in armor and gray skin were standing in front of the cell door, motionless, like clay wood sculptures.
Whoosh...... A faint wind penetrated through the cells and kept approaching the guards. The wind was getting closer and closer to these soldiers, but those soldiers still didn't care about it, they didn't have intelligence and self, and they couldn't judge that this wind was abnormal like ordinary people.
A young man who was bound by special chains and whose armor had been removed from his body was looking out of the cell with some confusion, but he didn't make a sound, just silently looked at the next qiē.
The gust of wind kept approaching the two soldiers standing guard, and finally at a certain moment, a cold light suddenly burst out of the wind, and the unsuspecting soldiers were penetrated by the cold light, and finally fell to the ground. And the other four soldiers on patrol also showed the situation here. Although they don't have their own consciousness, they have the instinct to fight, and they rush forward without hesitation in this situation.
But these soldiers may indeed have amazing physique and combat reflexes for ordinary humans, but they are still too good for a teenager who emerges from the wind and holds a scimitar in his hand.
Several cold rays of light directly penetrated them, and under the one-sided suppression, the four strange people died instantly, and their hearts were all penetrated. It fell to the ground and continued to flow out of a viscous liquid that was almost black.
The young man who had done these things put away the scimitar in his hand, and the soldiers had just been killed without leaving a trail of blood on the weapon, as if it were new. The young man gradually walked to a cell door, looked at the sixteen-year-old young man in front of him, and asked with some doubts, "You...... Are you Zhao Yun?"
Although the boy had seen the description of Zhao Yun from other books before, and there were various images of Zhao Yun, it was still a little awkward to see the ontology, or Zhao Yun in this world. And seeing the sixteen-year-old image in front of him, it is also a little different from what he has in his heart.
"Exactly, Zhao is a fake," the tied boy said with a somewhat bitter smile.
Chen was about to continue asking about some things when something suddenly changed in the otherwise quiet cell. A bright white cloud emerged from the cell, eventually dissolving into a ball. Chen couldn't help but hold the scimitar as he looked at the sudden change, just in case of an accident.
After less than a few breaths, the white cloud reached a peak, and finally slowly dispersed. Two figures inside are revealed. A short girl wearing cyan cloth armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, was looking coldly at the young man holding a scimitar. Standing beside her was a Zhengtai who looked less than twelve years old in a Taoist robe, just smiling and looking around.
"Who are you?!", the short girl raised the thin sword in her hand and looked at the boy in her eyes.
"I'd like to ask you that question. Chen, looking at the angry girl, felt a little strange. Could it be that she thinks of herself as a person from Yuan Lu Zhi?
"If you don't explain your origin, how do we know if you are Yuan Lu Zhi's subordinate?", the girl's hands already exuded an astonishing murderous aura that did not match her face, and the shield and thin sword in her hand were already in a posture.
Zhang Chen...... My name is Zhang Chen, but you can't tell if I'm Yuan Lu Zhi's subordinate after I say my name, right?", Chen was suddenly questioned, and he was also a little unhappy, and said slightly teasingly.
"Hmph, then you may still be Yuan Lu Zhi's person?", the girl's short was already flying, and a faint blue light lit up on her body.
"Hey...... I didn't say that...... Those guys from Yuanlu Zhi are still outside, right?", although he is not sure if he will do it, but Chen will release the power of the star in the same way for the sake of safety.
"Alright, Star, he's not our enemy. ", the teenager who was tied up in the cell suddenly said loudly.
"Ah...... Brother Zhao Yun!", the girl called Xingcai saw Zhao Yun who was imprisoned, and couldn't help but panic, and even the murderous aura on her body suddenly dissipated.
"Xingcai is still the same, although he is usually a calm person, but sometimes he can't control it because of some things. Zhang Chen, don't worry about that. Zhao Yun's tone was very calm, and he didn't have the feeling of depression after being detained for a long time.
"Brother Zhao Yun ......", Xingcai saw Zhao Yun who was locked, showing a somewhat worried look, she easily broke open the door, wanting to use the thin sword in her hand to cut the chains, but it was useless.
"This is ......", Xingcai tried many times, but only caused minor damage, and it would be a long time if he followed this pace.
"Let the old man come!", Shota, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, and said in an old-fashioned tone.
"Who are you?", Zhao Yun could feel that the body of Zhengtai in front of him contained extremely amazing power, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
"Zuo Ci is also, I came here to save you. Zhengtai said with a serious face.
Huh, Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this name. Is this Zuo Ci in front of you? isn't it...... According to the setting, it's all a fairy wind bone, and it looks like I don't know how old it is, right?
"En!?" Zhao Yun was also stunned for a moment, and then said a little awkwardly: "Then please ask the master to rescue me." ”
"Haha, that's pretty simple. Two bright white flames suddenly appeared from Zuo Ci's hands and threw them directly on the chains that bound Zhao Yun. In an instant, the originally strong chain was broken.
"But...... Now it looks like Cao Jun and Yuan Lu Zhi's men are about to show what we have done. Zuo Ci said as he looked outside the cell.
"Then we have to fight, ......," Chen couldn't help but say as he looked at the outside where there was already some commotion.
The flames of war in Ueda Castle have been ignited.
(PS: Well...... Musou rolls won't be too long...... So if you don't like it, you can wait for the Capricorn part in the back~ In addition, I will take the train back to school soon...... Summer vacation flies by so fast...... )
