After experiencing a difficult turn, An Luo, Caitlin, and Helen finally broke out of the time and space tunnel, as if they saw the light of day again, and wanted to take a few deep breaths of fresh air but smelled the smell of gunsmoke, they landed on a piece of land, although the surrounding environment is very different, but the familiar mountains and rivers still tell them that this is the Xiyun Continent.
Next, An Luo and the others will face new questions, what age is this? What is the current shape? Has the Southern Star Continent attacked? Where is the Ancient Emperor?
In order to obtain information and learn more about this era, Anlo, Caitlin, and Helen came to bring the nearest city, wanting to ask for directions and inquire about what they wanted to know, but found that the city had been in ruins, the walls had collapsed in large parts, and the smoke was everywhere, and it seemed that the war had not been long in coming.
According to the literature, the most powerful country in the Xiyun Continent at that time was the Valen Empire, with a strong army, known as more than two million, and the iron cavalry galloped in every corner of the Xiyun Continent, attacking the city and pulling out the fortress, unstoppable, and had a huge part of the magician effect, and the dragoon was a must. If it weren't for the sudden attack of the Southern Star Continent, it would only be a matter of time before the Valen Empire unified the entire Xiyun Continent.
In this ruined city, An Luo found a government residence, and there are still some materials in it that have not been burned, all about the taxes of the Valen Empire.
In this way, it seems that it is right, in that era, the only one who could capture the city of the Valen Empire was the Southern Star Continent. It seems that his party is in an era of war, and the next thing is to find the origin of his bloodline, the Ancient Emperor, but there is also the invisible emperor who is secretly guarding against the hidden.
But where to find it on such a large Xiyun Continent, An Luo was suddenly distressed, and looked at the two daughters, Caitlin and Helen immediately shook their heads, indicating that they had no clue.
Although he was prepared in his heart, this journey was not easy, but he was at a loss at the beginning and had no direction, which still couldn't help but make An Luo's mood heavy. It was at this time. There were bursts of horses' hooves outside the city, like thunder, coming quickly, as if these war horses were extraordinary.
Someone appeared! An Luo was immediately overjoyed, and quickly jumped up to the city tower, and saw that the smoke was not far away, and an army of tens of thousands of people rushed towards this place, led by a young general, with a handsome face, and his eyebrows were full of iron-blooded and resolute color, and he rode his horse all the way to the front, and his armor and cloak were torn and dusty, as if he had experienced a big battle.
It is not difficult to see from their banner that it is the Valendi ** team, and they rushed to the rescue, they should have been ordered to come to help, but unfortunately it was still a step late, this city has been destroyed, and the city walls are basically destroyed, even if they are taken back, it is useless.
"Damn, we're late, there are 20,000 defenders here, and we can't hold out for even a day. The army stopped outside the city, looking at the scene full of gunsmoke, and could only sigh, everyone was full of grief and indignation, holding the reins tightly, and did not say a word for a long, long time.
"Summons, go find the survivors. At the young general's order, more than 2,000 soldiers dismounted, entered the city one after another, and began to knock on doors from house to house, while others were responsible for guarding the surroundings in case of a sneak attack by enemy troops.
Slowly, some of the survivors were searched and rescued, and they hid in the basement of their homes or hidden places to survive.
According to the style of the South Star Continent, every time you pass through a place. Those who dared to resist were mercilessly crushed by their iron horses, and although they did not harm the people, they were taken captive and escorted to a lesser-known place, not knowing what to do.
Long before the siege, most of the inhabitants fled the city in panic, and within a short time it was an empty city. I thought that the defenders in the city could resist for a while, delay a while, and escape farther. I didn't expect the army of the Nanxing Continent to be so powerful, it broke through the city gate in one day, and after sweeping the city, the army rushed straight outside the city, caught up with the residents who had not fled far, and took them all away.
The people who stayed were just fighting for luck, and there were only a few who could escape, and in the face of the rampant hegemony of the South Star Continent, no one dared to guarantee that if they could hide today, they would be able to hide tomorrow.
Hiding in a room, watching the troops of the Valen Empire still looking for survivors, Anlo had an idea, tore his clothes, and rolled on the ground, covered with dust and soot, so that it became difficult for the people.
Then Anlo motioned with his eyes to Caitlyn and Helen to follow suit, and was immediately opposed by the two women, who both loved to be clean, and when they saw Anlo dirty, they stayed away, let alone let them dirty themselves.
At this time, seeing that the army of the Valen Empire was about to search this side, An Luo was heartbroken, grabbed the ashes on the ground and sprinkled them on Caitlyn and Helen, which immediately caused a few screams of dissatisfaction, and almost went up with a pink fist to retaliate by beating.
"Please, don't be squeamish, you two, we have an important mission, an important mission. Although Anluo repeatedly emphasized the importance of the overall situation, Caitlin and Helen did not accept this set, and glared at Anluo.
After hearing the movement, the soldiers of the Valen Empire quickly came over and took Anlo, Caitlyn, and Helen away as survivors. So An Luo blended into the crowd, and his plan to keep a low profile succeeded, and he was secretly proud in his heart, but the two women behind him cast murderous glances at her.
After a short search, with more than 300 surviving inhabitants and more than 50 wounded, the soldiers of the Valen Empire gathered them together, claiming to take them to a fortified city, garrisoned by a large army, with plenty of food to reassure them.
An Luo felt that the treatment was good, you must know that in this era of war and chaos, it is really rare to have a good place. But I heard whispers in the crowd: "Every time I say this, in the end, it is not impossible to stop the South Star Continent, it is the same to go to that city, sooner or later it will be breached." β
"Yes, I've been in five cities, and each time it's a big army, as much equipment as possible, a group of magicians, and a high morale, but the result is ...... Hey......"
From the words of these people, it is not difficult to hear their despair and sorrow. An Luo suddenly understood that the situation in the Xiyun Continent was not optimistic, and after inquiring, he was even more shocked, it turned out that in addition to the Valen Empire and the Quiet Forest were still resisting, those small countries had fallen, and even the Dragon's Lair and the Frozen Forest were occupied by the Nanxing Continent, and more than half of the territory of the Xiyun Continent was under the control of the Nanxing Continent.
At this moment, looking at the desperate eyes of everyone, even those soldiers had no fighting spirit after successive defeats. All of this made An Luo feel sad for a while, and he wanted to comfort everyone, saying that sooner or later, the people of the Southern Star Continent Association would be driven out, and they would return victoriously, etc. But after thinking about it, I still gave up, looking at this bad situation, both the people and the soldiers were depressed, their morale was low, and they could not listen to empty words.
Along the way, An Luo quietly asked about the origin of this army, they belonged to the third legion of the Valen Empire, originally there were 200,000 people, and they used to conquer the east and west, open up territory for the empire, and were known as one of the strongest armies in the Xiyun Continent. But these glories completely lost their luster after encountering the South Star Continent, and after only a year of fighting, they suffered defeats one after another, not to mention the loss of the city, the casualties were even more tragic, and even the army commander was killed recently, leaving only 10,000 people, and now the acting leader of the army is this young general named Capello.
Now An Luo understands, why Capello seems to have not arrived in his thirties, and he became the commander of the legion, except for a little ability, there is really no one to take on this heavy responsibility, which shows what kind of Cheng dΓΉ is the defeat of the Valen Empire.
However, no matter how much the people around him talked, how desperate, and how low morale, An Luo noticed that the commander named Capello did not seem to be affected again, his eyes were sharp, full of fighting spirit, and every time he woke up, he could not care about the fatigue of the journey, and walked at the front of the team in high spirits.
With intuition, An Luo knew that this one named Capello was absolutely extraordinary. In this turbulent era, a group of people often emerge and shine the brightest. Maybe this Capello will be one of them.
After three days of travel, everyone's destination finally arrived, a small city guarded by Capello's army called Guangming City, which used to be sparsely populated, but since the war, many people have moved here, and the small city is slightly crowded. However, Capello has been organizing people to build houses and expand the city. The original small bright spot, after several expansions, became a medium-sized city, and the walls were even taller and thicker.
But Capello knew that once the Southern Star Continent attacked, he would only rely on a city wall to resist for a day at most. In order to further increase the defense capacity of the city, he deliberately set up several more high walls in the city, linked together, both horizontally and vertically, making it like a huge labyrinth. I believe that any army will have a headache when it sees such an arrangement.
