Half an hour later, the casualties were counted, and more than two thousand seven hundred falcon soldiers died under the bayonets of the Glacier Horned Deer Wing. On the wilderness under the hillside, looking at the mountains of corpses piled up in front of him, Ling Hujue's face was gloomy, and his heart was like a knife. In the depths of his pupils, many corpses could no longer be called "corpses", without human form, just bloody flesh and shredded dregs.
The blood stains on the ground had long since dried up, turning into patches of purple-brown, the kind of purple-brown with a terrible smell. And the patina-like smell of blood still did not drift away, still so thick as it drilled into his nose, sniffing the bloody smell, he seemed to see the wild situation of these soldiers who were not afraid of death in war.
The surviving soldiers scattered and stood around the mountain of corpses, trembling and silent in their tired form, their eyes faintly determined in their sorrow. For them, in the days to come, unless they die, they will forget the profound tragedy of the scene in front of them.
There were dozens of soldiers piling up dead branches beside the mountains of corpses, and from the angle where Ling Hu was standing, you could clearly see the tears hanging from the corners of their eyes. Yes, it was no one else who was lying there, but a brother who was by his side a few hours ago, whispering.
Seeing that the firewood and branches were stacked, Ling Hu was forced to grieve, walked up slowly, stopped six feet away from the corpse pile, stared at it for a while, sighed deeply, and when he turned around, his face became calm, his eyes swept across the rows of silence around him, raised his eyes to look at his soldiers, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "Soldiers, there are so many good brothers left." Left us in such a tragic way. Same with you. My heart hurts. "Speaking of which. He stopped, and sighed miserably, and anyone could hear the endless sadness and sorrow in this sigh.
The irrepressible trembling around his body made the fox absolutely silent, and from the depths of his deep eyes, there was a cold aura that broke through from the grief and gradually took shape, like a poisonous fire. A sharp blade swept the audience profoundly again.
The moment their eyes touched, the soldiers all felt a deep feeling, the surging hatred in the chest and abdomen of their young division commander was stirring, and the sad soul was dripping blood. The gaze was like an oath, an oath of vengeance. It is this kind of vow that makes countless beating hearts connect into one, and complete the undeniable bond in an instant.
Suddenly, Ling Fox raised his arms high and roared in a tough voice like gold and stone: "But they are worthy of the name of falcons, you know." Who did you defeat? That's the most elite beast jockey in the Kortru Empire, and it's a battle today. It will surely shock the mainland. The Falcon Red Moon Banner will also be praised by the world. ”
"Shine my red moon and raise my falcon. ”
The thunderous sound echoed and thrilled, echoing back and forth in the wilderness night for a long time.
Ling Hu Jue felt a stream of heat rushing straight to the top door, his whole body trembled slightly, looking at these shouting soldiers, his feelings at the moment were too deep, too deep. Confidence was shown in his eyes, strong and sure, his heart was horizontal, his hands flicked, and a few rays of fire shot out, and the dead branches of the pile rose and burned in an instant, forming a sea of fire in a moment.
Under the thick smoke, the raging fire rose into the sky, staining half of the sky red. Just when the soldiers were staring at the fire and weeping silently, Ling Hu Jue left, he walked very slowly, so that all the soldiers who paid attention to him reflected such a scene in their pupils, under the flashing firelight, a lonely back, was quietly leaving.
Half an hour later, on a mossy mountain rock in the forest, Ling Hu Jue, who had finished pranayama, slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he stood up, he saw Lonely Qiong walking quickly, still holding a piece of meat wrapped in mango leaves, although his face was gloomy due to the injury, but his spirit looked good.
When she got closer, she handed over the golden and fragrant piece of meat, and said with a forced smile: "Not to mention, the meat of this glacier horned deer is really good." ”
Linghu was not polite, took the piece of meat and bit it at the same time, and said greasy: "Let the soldiers eat more, replenish blood and strengthen the body." He told the truth, the reason why he and his brothers have such a good foundation is also from the effect of eating animal meat and drinking animal blood.
Smiling slightly, Lonely Qiong lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Thanks to you." ”
Ling Fox's action to bite the flesh was sluggish, and he understood the meaning of Dugu Qiong's words, if he hadn't come in time, it would have been the Falcon Red Moon Banner that had been wiped out. Slowly put down the piece of meat in his hand, and at the same time, he said with palpitations: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet the beast jockey group." ”
Sitting against the rocks, Lonely Qiong took a deep breath and said, "What are your chances of winning this battle?" After seeing the strength of the beast jockey group, her mood felt an indescribable heaviness.
Chewing on the tender venison, Linghu Jue knew that there was something in Lonely Qiong's words, muttered for a while, and replied, "What do you think?"
After cutting her sideburns, Dugu Qiong put her hands on her knees, stared at the night of the dense forest, and said slowly: "If you want to go further, you must set up a magician group." ”
Throwing the mango leaves in his hand, Ling Hu Jue smiled bitterly, the importance of the magician group, he and Xia Xia have long recognized it, but what's the use of knowing? Not to mention now, even in the future, it is not certain that the falconer group has the strength and conditions to recruit magicians, after all, on this continent, the number of magicians is much smaller than that of martial artists.
Dugu Qiong also knew that it was nonsense to set up a magician group in a short period of time, she said this before, it was nothing more than to elicit her next words, turned her face sideways, raised her neck, looked directly at Ling Hujue, and said firmly: "Establish an empire." ”
He didn't expect Dugu Qiong to say this, the moment his eyes met, he froze, and time seemed to suddenly stop and froze.
Lonely Joan stared deeply at Ling Hujue, unblinking, so tight, so dedicated, so fiery and persistent. Affirmatively: "Establish an empire, only in this way can you justifiably recruit magicians, and let those soldiers, whether dead or alive, know what to fight for and for whom?"
Like a huge electric current suddenly touching Ling Hujue's body, his heart trembled. In the past. When he was talking to Sia. I have talked about this problem vaguely, but at the moment I mentioned it, I deliberately avoided it, after all, this goal is too big, and they don't dare to think about it or face it. But now, Lonely Joan has pierced this layer of window paper in the most direct language. It made him feel an unavoidable apprehension. It is undeniable that what Lonely Joan said is very reasonable, in this hierarchical and tightly structured continent, the state is the minimum understanding of ordinary people about themselves, and it is also the ultimate source of seeking protection.
Staring at Ling Hu's changing face, Lonely Qiong bit her lip and said softly, "What's the matter?"
I'm afraid that Linghu will never be afraid, but I haven't thought it through, I haven't thought it through. Because he knew that once the empire was formed. Not only did he and the Falcon Division have no way out, but even millions of people on the Pami Plain are tied together by the word "country". Whether he can take on such a big responsibility, he doesn't know, and Xia Xia doesn't know, which is why they have been avoiding it.
"I know you have ideals, but how many soldiers can understand your ideals. For them, making a marquis a knight and making contributions is a realistic goal. You, should you think about those soldiers?" said Lonely Joan frankly, in her consciousness, soldiers should serve the country and serve the emperor. Seeing that Linghu was a little moved, she continued to say in a solemn tone: "After all, the Falcon Division is just an army, and there are too few that can give glory to soldiers. To put it mildly, if one day, the Falcon Division is dispersed, the deaths of those soldiers who died just now will become worthless. You may say that empires will also be destroyed, yes, empires will be destroyed, but can the meaning be the same?" she said in one breath, her chest heaving. Wheezing heavily, a faint glint in his eyes.
Lonely Joan's excitement made Ling Hu Jue feel deeply angry, yes, from the soldier's level, his thoughtfulness is not a kind of selfishness and cowardice? He can believe that at the moment when those soldiers died, there must be people who are still worried about their relatives and their homes, just as Duguqiong said, an army may be able to give soldiers incomparable strength and fanaticism, but in the end it is the country that can give them stability and faith.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, he felt a heat in his chest that was enough to melt a qiē to communicate, raised his head, his eyes became hot and resolute in an instant, and he just wanted to say something.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the two of them looked sideways almost at the same time, only to see a soldier stumbling towards them, and when they saw the two of them, they shouted in horror: "Division commander, lonely general, hurry, go and see." ”
"What's wrong?" said Lonely Qiongyu's face was frosty, and her fingers had subconsciously put on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Gasping roughly, the soldier swallowed his saliva and said bitterly: "General Hui, there are demonic beasts, very strange demonic beasts. ”
At this moment, Ling Hujue's face changed from solemn at the beginning to a little curious. It stands to reason that mountains like Eagle's Beak Cliff, even if there are demonic beasts, are low-level and common, so that these soldiers will not be described as strange, let alone panicked.
"Let's go, let's see. Linghu Jue's tone turned stiff and motioned for the soldiers to lead the way. At the moment of walking, seeing that the lonely Qiong beside him was also about to follow, he turned around and said softly: "You haven't recovered from your injuries, don't go." ”
Lonely Qiong was not reluctant, bowed slightly, and signaled Linghu to be careful.
Walking briskly, he soon came to a dense forest that had been cut down, and the surrounding soldiers dispersed, and at the moment of passing through the crowd, a scene that made him a little surprised came into view.
In the sky above the corpses of the glacier horned deer piled up like a mountain, there are more than ten demonic beasts with wings on their backs, only more than five inches long, the whole body is icy white and crystalline, ** There are dense thin scales growing on it, flashing with a trace of cold, the head of this monster is oval, only as big as a thumb, and the eyes are not as evil as ordinary monsters, but give people a sense of peace and tranquility.
At this time, a soldier who looked like an officer came over, saluted and inhaled hard at the same time: "Division commander, do you want to destroy them." ”
Ling Hu Jue waved his hand, and the hunter's instinct allowed him to judge that these handsome realm demonic beasts were not malicious. It's just a little curious, generally speaking, a magical beast like this realm that is not very high will not take the initiative to appear in people's sight.
"Huh. After exclaiming, the night ghost in his body transformed into a black mist condensed beside him, carefully examining these magical beasts.
"Do you know?" said Ling Hu Jue softly. As he spoke, the originally hovering group of demonic beasts suddenly swooped down. One by one, they stick to the carcass of a glacier-horned deer. I saw them move their wings lightly. The whiteness of the corpse's body quickly dimmed.
"Sure enough, it's an ice eater. Night Charm only let out a long breath at this time, and said quietly.
Ling Hu looked at the winged monster with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "What is it?" He had never heard of any ice devouring insects, let alone seen this kind of magical beast.
Night Charm raised her face and said softly, "I have seen this kind of magical beast in a secret realm, Hantan. This kind of demonic beast, which absorbs the cold qi for a living, has little effect, and rarely takes the initiative to attack. "Speaking of which. She frowned and thought for a moment, then muttered, "Strange. ”
This strange sound made Ling Hujue, who was originally about to drive away, stop, and his sideburns frowned slightly: "What's strange?"
Night Charm said in confusion: "I remember that the companion who was with me at the time said that there must be a source of cold near the appearance of this ice devouring worm, but here?"
Her confusion made Ling Hu Jue also a flurry, he knew the source of the cold air, it was not an ordinary cold pool and snow land, if there was really a source of cold air here, it would definitely be three feet of ice. It's bitterly cold, and it's impossible to get the temperature you have now. The hand that was gaining momentum was slowly lowered. He also said with a little confusion: "In this way, it is really a bit strange. ”
Night Charm was just about to answer, when out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of those ice-eating insects that had sucked in the cold air and raised their wings. Subconsciously said urgently: "Look, they're about to fly away." ”
Knowing what she was anxious about, Ling Hu Jue thought for a while, took out the jade talisman from the storage ring and said, "You stay here, I'll go and take a look." ”
How smart is Night Charm, she understands that Ling Hu is definitely worried that someone from the Glacier Horned Deer Wing will come to rendezvous? After taking the jade talisman, he bowed his head slightly, and admonished, "Then you should be careful." ”
Ling Hu Jue smiled slightly, and flew into the forest, his movements faster than the electric switch, like a streamer of light hidden in everyone's eyes.
Through the leaves and branches, it has leaped out for several miles. Led by the mid-air ice devouring insects, he came to a deep valley, the empty forest was lonely, and the leaves were bleak, without a sound, and he didn't think about the ice and cold air he imagined.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Hu Jue followed closely, in the valley, all Qi Qi Qi was so calm, but Ling Hu Jue, who had experienced too much killing, knew that there was often a certain crisis hidden behind the seemingly calm. But he is not afraid, according to his current realm and the supernatural powers of his body, there are not many places that can trap him.
But he is not afraid, he does not dare to take it lightly, while following the ice devouring insect to leap, the big eagle eye technique is like a snail's tentacles, stretching and touching with the surroundings......
Soon, the flying ice-eater came down and flew into a dark deep cave, the mouth of the cave was overgrown with dense vines, and if it weren't for the ice-eater's flying in, he wouldn't have been able to find it for a while.
He didn't enter it rashly, and when the fox body shot straight down in the air, his toes touched the ground and immediately flashed behind a clump of flowers and plants. The Great Eagle Eye Technique spread in, but something terrifying happened to him, and the Great Eagle Eye Technique, which had been tried and tested, seemed to be blocked by a breath and could not invade the cave.
What's going on? Ling Hu Jue secretly pinched a cold sweat, and a thought instantly floated up, that is, this ice devouring insect is a master person, and there may be a reclusive powerhouse in the cave.
Is it going to go in or not? Ling Hu Jue is also constantly thinking about countermeasures in his mind...... Suddenly, he seemed to have decided one thing resolutely, the silver halo flashed slightly, and Mo Ke, who had been in the spirit beast bracelet for a long time, yawned and appeared beside him, Ling Hu Jue just wanted to say something, Mo Ke seemed to smell something, the muscles of his entire body tightened, the mane on his neck stood upside down, and after a low roar, he actually lowered his neck and pulled Ling Fox Jue's robe, as if to drag him into the cave.
Linghu was stunned for a moment, originally he wanted to let the demon go in first, even if there was a strong person, he would not embarrass a demonic beast, and when the time came, he reappeared and apologized, and the scene was reasonable. But now looking at the meaning of Moke, it seems that there is some treasure in the cave, which gives him a feeling of impatience.
Linghu Jue has always suspected that Mo Ke has a special sense of heavenly treasures. After frowning and thinking about it, the corners of his lips couldn't help but float a proud smile. patted the huge lion head of the magic ke, and said affectionately: "Go, go in and have a look, I don't believe you, I can find the treasure every time." ”
Having said that, at the moment of moving, Ling Hu Jue also raised the fighting spirit of his whole body, and was ready to respond at any time. (To be continued)
