Chapter 125: The Southern Wilderness Castle
The ancient castle of the southern wilderness, after the baptism of thousands of years, stretches hundreds of meters from north to south, is connected to each other by ten giant pillboxes, each blockhouse is built around the moat, connected with the Ganges, the blockhouse is like isolated in the Ganges, and the blockhouse is connected by the city wall, the city wall is thick and towering, can accommodate ten horsemen in parallel, the city wall is equipped with artillery and giant crossbows, there are soldiers stationed in the defense all the year round, it looks like a barrier to the southern emperor and the eastern emperor to be separated from each other.
This is a thousand years ago the god king Changping led the ancestors of the human race to spend decades to build the fortress group, the castle is located in turn in the edge of the southern wilderness, backed by the Ganges River, the river is turbulent, close to the towering city wall rushing through, the turbulent river water forms a natural barrier, both the human race and the demon race are extremely difficult to approach, and on the other side of the river is the territory of the human race - 'East Wilderness'.
Since the establishment of the ancient castle, its main role has been to prevent the invasion of the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan.
Thousands of years ago, after experiencing the war between the human race and the demon race, the human race paid a heavy price to force the demon race into the southern wilderness, and the ancient castle of the southern wilderness was built according to the river, along the bank of the southern wilderness, every hundred miles to build beacon towers, once the demon army was found, it was good to immediately beacon fire, the human army in the ancient castle can immediately respond, in the face of a small number of enemies, you can immediately send troops, and in the face of the army crossing the river, you can also use the solid defense of the ancient castle to intercept. It can be said that the Southern Wilderness Castle is a row of nails embedded in the territory of the demon race by the human race.
And now, this has become the place where the Terrans are distributed, the so-called distribution place, in fact, to put it bluntly, is a prison, all the sinners who have violated the law in the Terrans, or the families of the clansmen who have been implicated, as well as the rebellion among the Terrans, will be sent here to be taken into custody, so that they can be stationed in the castle for eternity, and they will not leave without permission until they die, and the Terrans collectively call these people 'crows', which is intended to describe them as black as crows. Subjected to people despised shì.
And the leader of this crow army is the uncle of the current human emperor, Chang Yimo, now he is almost ancient, he is still reined in, although you are a royal family, but he is also a prisoner here, the first generation of the human emperor ascended the throne, he was sent here, the honorary garrison garrison, and crazy him a 'southern king' false name, but, at that time, everyone knew. This is just an excuse, the emperor ascended the throne, first of all, he had to clean up all the enemies around him, how could he let go of a person who had competed with him for the throne, not to mention, this competitor has always been brave and good at fighting, and he is deeply supported by the army, so he will naturally be 'properly placed'.
And Chang Yimo also obediently accepted the arrangement of the emperor. Alone, I came here with my family, and I stayed for 70 years. Youth has passed, and the young man who was as strong as a tiger has become an old man with a wrinkled face, and time has taken away all the essence in his body. Leaving only a shriveled shell, only the crow legion in his hands is becoming more and more mysterious.
In front of the main fort of the Southern Wilderness Castle, the Terran princess Changle. As well as the Terran general Wu Yong, the lord of the Southern Wilderness Castle is also the Southern King Changyimo and other generals are anxiously looking into the distance, and especially the princess Changle is the most anxious, the reins in his hands are sometimes tight and sometimes loose, and he can't wait to rush out now.
"Princess, it's been a long time since the agreed time, depending on the situation, the Qiushui Clan must have encountered something, why don't we return to the castle first and wait for news?" Wu Yong on the side rode a horse to Changle's side.
On that day, he and Changle woke up Changping together, and it was he who accompanied the princess to the edge of the Southern Wilderness, and then he alone brought the news of the resurrection of the God King back to the Terrans, and sent an envoy to the Southern Wilderness on behalf of the Terrans, participating in the Qiushui Clan's eastward return plan. Therefore, he knew the plan of the God King and the Qiushui Clan, and now that he had not seen the troops of the Qiushui Clan returning to the east, he knew that something must have happened, and now the only way to let the Terran army return to the ancient castle was the safest way.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, he received Changle's reprimand: "Don't go, you must wait until them, the God King said that if he arrives today, he will definitely arrive, and then send more scouts to continue to inquire about the news." Changping looked resolute and didn't listen to Wu Yong's advice at all.
There was no way, Wu Yong had to send ten more scouts, scattered, and went deep into the southern wilderness to find out the news.
Although Nanwang Chang Yimo was displeased, he didn't say anything, but just ordered his subordinates to pay attention to the surrounding situation, especially the beacon tower, and once they found the news, they should immediately light the beacon fire.
The group continued to wait anxiously, and as the time passed, they saw that the afterglow of the sunset was gone, and the night between heaven and earth was shrouded, and a bonfire was lit on the castle, illuminating the front of everyone, and the scouts sent out also returned, but there was still no news.
Seeing that it was getting late, and the chill was getting heavier, Nanwang Changyi Mo couldn't stand it anymore, he accompanied the animal skin coat and drove the mount to Changle's side, "Princess, it's already night, the army has been waiting here for a whole day, everyone is already tired, I think it's okay today, it is estimated that the Qiushui Clan and the God King have been delayed due to something, or send someone to investigate tomorrow." ”
Nanwang looked at Changle, the other party's face was still resolute, and he had no intention of going back, and Nanwang couldn't help but look gloomy. "When night falls, it is a threat to the princess and the army, if the demon clan raids, it will be difficult for us to find out, so please ask the princess to return first." ”
"Uncle Huang, wait a little longer" Chang Le's tone was full of pleading, Chang Yimo changed his face and sighed, "In that case, I will let the army retreat first, and I, General Wu and the Imperial City Iron Cavalry will accompany you to wait here for a while." ”
"En," Changle looked at Chang Yimo with a little gratitude, and then turned his head to look into the distance again.
Chang Yimo looked at the generals beside him, made a greeting gesture, and several generals rode to their respective teams, and the army retreated in an orderly manner towards their respective castles after a while.
Seeing that the king of the south had withdrawn the army, Wu Yong was a little worried, what is said here is also the southern wilderness, if there is no escort of the army, it is really difficult to deal with the former iron cavalry that he carried.
"Princess, the army has returned, forget it today, let's come back tomorrow, how" Wu Yong asked Changle again, but Changle just glared at her fiercely, and then ignored him anymore.
Wu Yong, who was bored with himself, deserved to retreat and look at Changle from afar.
"Here they are! Here they are!" Just when Wu Yong and the others didn't know how to persuade Changle, Changle suddenly shouted loudly, and with a happy face, she couldn't help but elaborate, and drove the war horse to gallop forward.
"Princess, wait a minute, let's go and explore first......" Wu Yong hurriedly dissuaded, but Changle didn't hear it at all, he had already run away, there was no way, Wu Yong pointed out that on the one hand, he sent someone to inform the king of the south and asked him to answer, and on the other hand, he took the imperial city iron horse to chase after him......
