Chapter 151: Disaster in Sunset Town
The commander of the Warhammer Mercenary Regiment, with a single thought, kicked an iron plate, which eventually led to a tragic end.
It's also his bad luck, if he changes the scapegoat, maybe nothing will happen at all. It's a pity that he found a reborn lightsaber royal family, and caught up with that person when he was at his strongest. Lu Chengfeng, who had only completed breakthroughs one after another a day ago, took him as the object of training.
At this time, perhaps he gradually recovered from the shock. The Warhammer Leader, who had lost his resistance, crushed one of the talismans on his body, and then instantly appeared a kilometer away. Without waiting for Lu Chengfeng to catch up, he left the other members of the group and left without looking back.
Is this a member who has no face to see him again?
Lu Chengfeng sighed for him, and he had no idea of continuing to chase and kill. After swinging his sword to drive away the other mercenaries who fled in all directions, Lu Chengfeng cleaned up the battlefield, put gold coins and some valuable things into the ring, and then reined in the ice and snow vision, recalled the sword statue and left.
When he walked a few hundred meters, several people who happened to pass by on the nearby official road woke up from shock and began to talk nonsense.
In the famous Warhammer Mercenary Regiment of Chaoge, most of the high-level people are here, and they were actually picked up by a fifth-order so cleanly?
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, these people would have thought it would have been a joke. Even now, the people are gone, they still find it difficult to accept, talking loudly, venting their shock in their hearts. There is even a beautiful swordsman girl with fair skin and good breasts, who realized that an opportunity for her thighs had come, and quickly turned around and chased after her. It's a pity that she reacted a beat slower, and Lu Chengfeng walked resolutely, but in the end she didn't catch up.
This made the girl stunned.
Of course, the two mercenaries who accompanied her were just happy in their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.
The encounter with the Warhammer Mercenary Regiment was just an accident. After returning to Tianque City, Lu Chengfeng returned all the way back to Chaoge, and then prepared to rent a carriage to return to Kaiyang. Although he was a Chaoge before he was reborn, it was already 1,200 years ago, and now he has no acquaintances. Instead of touching the scene, it is better to return to the more familiar Kaiyang, where he still has a few friends and relationships.
When he came before, because he caught the convoy of the Apocalypse Sect, Lu Chengfeng saved a lot of trouble. This time it was not so convenient to go back, he bargained with a trading house of Chaoge, rented a carriage, hired a swordsman apprentice to drive the car, and then began the long journey home.
It would be nice if the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle that he obtained from the Secret Treasury Dungeon had already hatched and entered the growth stage.
Sitting in the somewhat bumpy carriage, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but think like this. Once hatched, what awaits the Golden-winged Thunderhawk is a juvenile period that lasts from six months to a year. After this period of time, the Thunderhawk entered the growth period and had initial combat power and flight manned capabilities. At that time, Lu Chengfeng will be able to directly control the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle and fly back directly across the continent at a speed far exceeding that of the flying skyship.
That's a lot faster than a horse-drawn carriage or something.
At the moment, the egg should be a few days away from hatching. It will take another year until the growth period. He still has a long way to go to become an empty knight.
Until then, I had to be in a hurry to go out.
Fortunately, the swordsman apprentice he rented was very good at driving. Even if the strength is not good, it is a second-order, and the physical strength and energy are good. In addition, this horse is also a breed that has been crossed with Warcraft, and it cannot be measured by common sense, so it can advance two hundred kilometers a day. In this way, it seems that the journey back is faster than when you came.
After a few days, we revisited the old place, and within a few days, we were back at the exit of Sunset Valley.
Lu Chengfeng remembered very well that ahead should be the only human stronghold in the valley, Sunset Town. The last time he visited, he was very impressed with the lively town. But this time, at the place where they entered the valley, hundreds of soldiers of the Tian Yuan Dynasty blocked the place. Near almost the only entrance, it was also cast by an earth magician, who directly summoned the earth wall and blocked it.
What happened?
The careful Lu Chengfeng noticed that these more than 100 soldiers of the Tianyuan Dynasty were well-trained, and their personal strength was also three to four orders on average, and they were obviously elite troops. With more than 100 people joining forces, with twenty demon-breaking crossbows, plus the earth mage and a few strong people leading the team, even he didn't dare to break through easily.
"What the hell is going on up ahead?"
Not only Lu Chengfeng, but there were also many other caravans and mercenaries outside the pass. Someone was obviously quite anxious and urged.
It's just that the soldiers of the Tianyuan Dynasty had serious faces and didn't want to explain to them. Even if a fifth-order swordsman who led the team was annoyed by the question, he just casually pulled a reason for the "beast tide". Calculating the time, this is not yet March, and at the turn of spring and winter, there will indeed be hungry demonic beasts rushing out of the valley to attack humans. However, Sunset Town has been around for so many years, and it has long had experience in dealing with ordinary monster attacks. What kind of "beast tide" needs them to block the entrance and not allow people to enter or leave?
"So, when will it pass?"
Lu Chengfeng didn't want to stay here, so he seized the opportunity to ask.
The person who was pulled by him should be a deputy leader, and seeing that Lu Chengfeng's strength was in the middle of the fifth order, which was relatively strong, he put away his impatience and said briefly: "It seems that someone has already investigated inside, and the request we received is to completely block the entrance." So, I can't answer your question. When the empire sends a real strong person to deal with it, it may take two or three days. ”
"So long?"
If it is a few hours or half a day, Lu Chengfeng will endure it. But for two or three days, and it was still uncertain, Lu Chengfeng was a little dissatisfied. What exactly is the trouble that takes that long?
The caravans and mercenaries passing by next to them were also talking about it, and there were all kinds of speculations. However, these speculations are not all unfounded. Some people claim that he heard the news from a survivor of Sunset Town, and overnight, the entire population of Sunset Town disappeared, leaving only a few undead wandering.
Although he couldn't produce evidence, this news surprised Lu Chengfeng.
He instinctively thought of the stalking of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect's convoy when he came, as well as the familiar tragedy of the Spirit Clan's ruins.
Could it be that there is no connection here?
After frowning and thinking for a while, Lu Chengfeng finally decided to find a way to go in and have a look. He asked the swordsman apprentice to line up patiently outside, and he found the commander of the Tian Yuan Dynasty soldiers who were in charge of sealing off the place alone.
"What? You want to enter Sunset Valley?"
Knowing Lu Chengfeng's request, the fifth-order high-end soldier leader was very surprised. He looked Lu Chengfeng up and down for a while, and said in embarrassment: "My responsibility is to guard this place and not let people in." And, I can tell you responsibly, it's very weird inside. Not to mention that Your Excellency is just a swordsman, even if the swordsman is there in person, he may not be able to come out smoothly. I suggest that you wait here honestly, and don't go in and die easily. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to joke with my life. Since you go in, you will naturally have a certain certainty. ”
Lu Chengfeng tried hard to persuade, but the commander just refused to let go. At first, Lu Chengfeng thought it was a problem with money, but later found out that he didn't accept it at all. Seeing that the other party was about to get impatient, Lu Chengfeng moved out of the name of an honorary member of the Apocalypse Sect, and said that he was responsible for all the consequences, so he reluctantly relented with an embarrassed face.
"Boy, don't say I didn't warn you, it's really dangerous inside. Probably because he really didn't want Lu Chengfeng to die, the leader kindly persuaded again: "The people of the entire Sunset Town are missing, and they are likely to become undead." If you feel that something is wrong, you must quit immediately, and maybe you can be saved. ”
"I see. ”
Lu Chengfeng nodded, and while those mercenaries were not paying attention, he jumped over the earthen wall pulled up by the earth mage.
Although it is a little verbose, I have to say that this uncle is a good person with a cold face and a warm heart. It's just that he doesn't know Lu Chengfeng's true strength. With the insight of his previous life, and the strength of his current body, which is comparable to that of a seventh-order powerhouse, this Sunset Valley still can't trap him. Even if he really encounters any mortal danger, Lu Chengfeng is confident that he will retreat!
Bypassing the earthen wall, the noise was immediately cut off.
Twenty miles ahead is the sunset town, and on this road in the past, you can see the figures coming and going day and night. But today, there is a deathly silence on this road. If you look closely, you can also see mottled blood stains left by injured people passing by.
The words of the mercenary from before can be confirmed from the commander of the soldiers just now. Sunset Town, indeed, has been undead. I just don't know, is the undead who have been transformed here really related to the relics of the Spirit Race, or is it just a separate cultist attack?
In terms of scope, the two places are separated by thousands of miles, and they belong to two countries, so no matter how you look at it, it seems like a separate incident. However, judging from the seriousness of the matter, it does not seem to be a coincidence at all. After all, in the past few hundred years, although cultists have come out from time to time to make a fuss, few have played as big as this. If it is an ordinary blood sacrifice, at most, it will kill dozens or hundreds of people. Killing a small town on such a scale is a major event that may not be able to be caught up in decades!
Such a major event happened twice in a row in half a year.
Moreover, no one can guarantee whether there will be similar incidents elsewhere. It's just that because the news is blocked, it hasn't come out.
With a somewhat heavy heart, Lu Chengfeng vigilantly approached the sunset town. From a distance, there didn't seem to be that kind of undead transformation circle in the sky above the town, and there was no barrier to prevent people from entering and leaving, which made Lu Chengfeng breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that after closing the distance, Lu Chengfeng found that the aura of death here was far stronger than the spirit clan ruins. Here, it vaguely gave Lu Chengfeng a feeling of Longtan Tiger's Den!
