The stronghold called 'Sanxingyi' is much larger than Zhan Yue imagined, and these strongholds are very important on the transportation arteries of the human race, not only the merchants who come and go here to rest, but also the people who have taken refuge in the surrounding areas and the temporary camp of the army will choose here.

The post station is brightly lit, and the huge formation composed of bright stones operates normally at night, guarding this heaven and earth, and it is as bright as a flat boat in the vast night sea. Aside from the area shrouded by the Tower, these post strongholds are the safest places in the wild.

The stables on the edge of the post station were full of war horses, Cheng Lu looked at these war horses and frowned, not knowing which army horse this was. He led the group to the temporary warehouse of the post station, put all the bright stones in it, and then dismissed the troops, leaving only four people to guard the warehouse, and the rest to rest.

"Brother Cheng, it's so lively here." In the army, Zhanyue called Cheng Lu the captain, but in private he called him the eldest brother. Cheng Lu taught Zhanyue a lot of knowledge and survival skills along the way, which made Zhanyue very grateful.

"Isn't it, the Scattered Star Station is close to the Rising Sun City, and there are many merchants and customers, and it has always been so lively." Cheng Lu walked into the lobby of the post station, the table was full, he glanced around, and sure enough, he found the target, and then led Zhanyue over.

"General Song, it's really you." Cheng Lu walked to a wine table, looked at a bald strong man sitting at the wine table and said. The man was unusually burly, still wearing armor, and his eyes were piercing. Even more peculiar was the fist-sized spider lying on his shoulder.

"Captain Cheng?" The general surnamed Song looked at Cheng Lu, but he was not very surprised, "You are responsible for escorting the goods again?" ”

Cheng Lu sighed, "I have mediocre skills, I can only lead the troops to do some miscellaneous things, where like General Song, you can fight on the front line and protect the peace of the party." ”

General Song smiled and patted Cheng Lu's shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, the city lord still values you very much, and when you break through the Star Xuan Realm and become a Xuan, you can naturally become an official general." ”

Cheng Lu smiled slightly, and introduced Zhan Yue: "This is the Blood Spider General Song Yi, the parade general of the Rising Sun City, who is different from me as the captain. ”

Zhan Yue looked at Song Yi and then at the blood-colored spider on his shoulder, this strong man revealed a powerful aura all over his body, I am afraid that he is a beast deed of the Xuan Realm.

"Who is this?" Song Yi was very curious that Cheng Lu was so close to a third-order recruit of the Covenant Spirit.

"My new little brother is very good to talk to. By the way, General Song, why are you here? Cheng Lu said curiously.

Song Yi nodded, glanced at Zhan Yue, but didn't pay much attention to it. He replied, "Fifty miles away from here, there are two villages not far from each other, Yunjia Village and Yujia Village. We received news that more than 200 people in Yunjia Village, from the old man to the baby, have all been poisoned by the Dire, and my trip is to exterminate the Dire. It's close to Sunburst City, but I didn't expect the Dire to be so rampant. ”

Hearing this, Zhan Yue and Cheng Lu were both pale, and more than 200 lives were lost?

The area covered by the tower is limited after all, not everyone is qualified to live in a safe area, and there are still large and small villages outside, usually near the post station, and they can only rely on the stone to survive the dangerous nights.

"It's a big case, haven't those Dire gone away?" Cheng Lu asked.

"Don't you know the greed of the Dire? The people who ate Yunjia Village, and Yujia Village are waiting for them, and when they are almost digested, they will fight Yujia Village's idea, and I am ready to lay an ambush in Yujia Village and annihilate them all. General Song Yi said, and then fed a finger to the spider on his shoulder, which bit his finger and sucked the blood.

"My little guy is good at everything, but he can't do without blood, just wait for it to advance to a realm." Song Yi gently touched the little spider.

"Now that every household has a night light made of bright stone, and is not afraid of ordinary nights, how can there be such a tragedy?" Zhan Yue was puzzled.

Cheng Lu explained patiently: "Tongmingshi can deal with low-level Dire with low IQ, but it can't deal with Intermediate Dire with extremely high IQ. Low-level Dire are even afraid of any light source, even candlelight can scare them away, but Intermediate Dire is not so easy to deal with. ”

Seeing that Zhanyue didn't understand what she heard, Cheng Lu explained in detail: "The Dire clan has similar habits to ants and bees. High-level Dire is rarely used, but is fed by Intermediate and Low Dire. A large number of low-level Dire will prey on the souls of living beings at night, preferably Terrans; In general, Luminite dispels low-level Dire and has a suppressive effect on Intermediate Dire, but Intermediate Dire already has enough intelligence that they have many ways to fight Shinestone. There will be so many dead this time, there must be an intermediate Dire in the lead. ”

There are also king-level, monarch-level and Maharaja-level above the high-level Dire, but this is not something that Zhan Yue can contact at this stage.

"Little brother, you haven't been to the real battlefield yet, have you?" Song Yi looked at Zhan Yue and said with a smile, "It's just right, I don't have enough manpower to wipe them out, I'm worried that there will be fish that will slip through the net, Brother Cheng, I'm afraid I'm going to borrow someone from you." ”

"It's... It's not very good, my task is just to escort Tongmingshi. Cheng Lu was a little embarrassed, this can't send soldiers indiscriminately.

"I knew you were brainless, what do you think this is?" Song Yi took out a token with an eagle motif engraved on it.

"City Lord Order? With this order, it is possible to temporarily requisition the troops encountered, with the task of the person holding the order as the first priority. "Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief, don't be embarrassed." I came out this time and brought forty people, leaving ten people to guard Tongmingshi, and the rest, including me, obeyed General Song's orders. ”

"Okay, your thirty men and the fifty I brought will definitely be able to surround those evil obstacles, and this time we will definitely destroy them all." Song Yi said happily, and then smiled at Zhan Yue on the side: "Little brother, aren't you curious about how the Dire pits the people, don't you know if you go and see for yourself?" ”

Zhan Yue nodded, he really wanted to know how the Intermediate Dire had destroyed a small mountain village. Zhan Yue picked up a lamp and played with it, there are two ways to excite the bright stone, one of which is this special lamp, as long as the bright stone is placed on it, it can be activated, which is the only way for ordinary people to use the bright stone; And the deed can directly use spiritual power to induce the bright stone. The invention of this lamp alleviated the urgent need of mankind, so that ordinary people in the wild could use Mingstone to defend against Dire, but unfortunately the wild is still very dangerous.

"Sunburst City has a large population, and the surrounding acropolis is also expensive. No wonder the little coachman was so proud of his father, who had brought the family into the Rising Sun through his own efforts, away from the days of fear, but he didn't know what happened to his missing father, and I hope he was still alive. Zhan Yue can only pray for blessings.

On the second day, Zhan Yue followed Cheng Lu and merged into Song Yi's troops, and it can be seen from the mental outlook that Song Yi's soldiers were much more elite than Cheng Lu's soldiers. But don't look at Song Yi's appearance of five big and three rough, but he is very cautious, this time the Dire clan took action to destroy the village, so that he came to the real fire, and vowed to wipe them all out, Cheng Lu's soldiers are also deed, and there is no problem in dealing with some junior Dire.

The troops were stationed in Yujia Village, blended into the homes of the people, waited for work, and laid a net of heaven and earth. Not to Song Yi's surprise, they did come two days later in the evening.

Zhan Yue stayed in the family's house at the moment, the family of three was afraid to hug in the corner, Zhan Yue's task was just to protect these civilians, and there were other people who really went to war. The glowstone on the lamp lit up the house, and Zhan Yue wondered how the Dire had bypassed the luminose to attack humans. However, he soon learned the answer.

After hearing a wolf howl, the bloody breath forced over. A huge wild wolf broke open the window with its sharp claws and broke in, Zhan Yue looked at the wild wolf vigilantly, but the wild wolf just glanced at Zhan Yue viciously, but did not take the initiative to attack, but walked out of the window with the lamp on the table in his mouth.

"Alive, this wolf is definitely a living creature, not a dead corpse possessed by a Dire. The Dire Clan actually know how to drive these beasts to help them solve the problem of Bright Stone?! Zhan Yue was taken aback. The small mountain village that was originally illuminated by the bright stone was now plunged into absolute darkness, and the bright stone lamps of every house were forcibly taken away by one wild wolf after another. When night had completely soaked the village, the real Dires had finally attacked.
