Chapter 153: Encounter
The midday sun is in the sky.
Lu Yuan and his party rested for a while, and then continued to rush to Yanghe Valley as planned.
Li Hongying, the general of the First Legion of Fengqu Fort, gathered troops and horses in the Yang River Valley, and if she joined, it would be possible for the human forces to break through the siege of the alien alliance and aid Fengqu Fort.
Under the clear blue sky, a black smoke suddenly rose.
The crowd immediately rushed in that direction.
By the time they reached the territory, the flames had engulfed the building, and the occasional sound of a building collapsing could be heard not far away.
The scale of this territory is not large, probably only a second- or third-level territory.
The soldiers searched around and did not see any survivors.
"Maybe the escaped undead lord attacked the territory." Huo Yang frowned, he thought that the destruction of this territory had something to do with him.
If he had killed the undead, it might not have happened.
"It's none of your business." Lu Yuan looked at him and sighed.
"It's not the undead, it's another orc army."
"These skeletons are extremely averse to flames, and they will never set fire, even if they use fire, they use soul fire."
Lu Yuan explained.
The crowd was a little silent, and they had seen many of these scenes along the way.
There are no eggs under the nest, and those alien chiefs drive straight in, and these territories in the hinterland of humans cannot escape looting.
It's just not known if this lord escaped alive.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, but the matter has come to this, but they are powerless to change anything.
Just as they were about to leave, a team approached quickly in the distance.
Everyone immediately raised their vigilance and assumed a posture of facing the battle.
But soon, what appeared in front of them was the red dragon banner representing the dragon kingdom, flanked by diagonal swords and the intersecting olive branches, which were the banners of the First Legion of Wind Extinguishing Castle.
Seeing the arrival of friendly troops, everyone was overjoyed.
Soon, the forward cavalry appeared in front of them in the billowing smoke and dust.
The cavalry stopped at a distance of 600 meters, moving in order, as a whole, showing the quality and strength of the 1st Corps.
However, the thirty elite knights in front of them accelerated closer to them, and stopped at a distance of hundreds of paces.
Lu Yuan saw that there were two people in the lead, a young man wearing red armor and a handsome appearance, but with a faint arrogance.
Next to him is a middle-aged man with a majestic face, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
And one step behind them were 4 heroes, followed by heavy cavalry.
"Who are you?!"
The young man spoke coldly, his gaze swept over everyone, with a kind of high-minded scrutiny, which made Lu Yuan a little uncomfortable.
"It's not obvious, we're here to support Wind Extinguishing Castle!" Zang Lidao.
The young man looked at him condescendingly, "I am Yuan Ding, the second lieutenant of the First Regiment of the Wind Extinguishing Castle, in charge of the defense of this place, I have the right to ask you to report your personal information and origin, otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are a foreigner!" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
Originally, I just thought that this officer was a little arrogant, but if the charge of this foreigner was deducted, then he might do it directly.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
"Phew, we came all the way to support the front line, and we were still treated as spies, what the hell is the reason!" Huo Yang spat on the ground and scolded fiercely.
"Brother Huo is right, what's the point of this battle!"
"It's better to go back directly!"
Others also chimed in.
"Hmph, it's nice to say one by one, but it's really reinforcements who came to support, why are they still here?" The young man snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that I have already joined the alien race, and here I am also here to cooperate with those alien races and be a lackey of the alien race." ”
"Perhaps, this territory will be destroyed by you."
Everyone's faces turned ugly.
When they came to support the Castle, they could almost say that they had given up on their own development, and perhaps even lost their territory as a result, and once returned to the pre-liberation period.
But in the mouth of this officer, not only did they not get recognition, but they became spies of the alien race.
Who can accept such a result?
Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at the young officer, his face was full of arrogance, as if he had stained his eyes when he looked at them more.
Obviously, this is only a second lord, and it is probably because of the strength of the family to climb to this position.
But the other party is like this, it is obviously aimed at them, if there is no hidden secret, Lu Yuan obviously does not believe it.
Lu Yuan's gaze fell behind the officer, and in the formation behind him, he found a familiar figure.
- Xu Lou!
The guy who used to hate himself in school, the two of them can be said to be fighting openly and secretly before.
But I didn't expect that after entering the battlefield of all races, I would meet on such an occasion.
Lu Yuan thought about it, the other party's family seemed to have a background in the middle of the expeditionary force, in that case, it would not be strange for the other party to appear in the first legion of the Wind Extinguishing Castle.
But in order to take revenge, this guy is in this national crisis, and he only cares about his own interests!
Lu Yuan was already surprisingly angry.
But although his heart was surging with anger, he was very calm on the surface.
At this time, if there is a conflict, it is obviously very unwise to win or lose.
"Your Excellency, although you are a second lieutenant of the First Legion, but there is no actual evidence, it is not reasonable to frame us lords, right?" Lu Yuan took two steps forward and said in a deep voice.
"Evidence? Isn't it already obvious that there is no one else here but you, who is it that you did not do it? The young man said disdainfully.
"Is this your way of talking?" A sneer hung on the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth, "Then I also have reason to suspect that it was you who did it, you destroyed this territory, and then hid aside, and waited until we came to check, and then came out to fight a rake." ”
"You-" The young man suddenly became angry, "presumptuous, you are just a civilian, and you dare to question the officers of the expeditionary force?!" ”
With his words, the knights behind him also drew their weapons in unison, ready to attack these guys who dared to slander the expeditionary force.
And with the other party's movements, the lords on Lu Yuan's side, who had suppressed their anger for a long time, also drew their swords one after another, and for a while, the sound of the weapon being unsheathed sounded.
The form suddenly became tense, and the situation was about to erupt!
Lu Yuan looked directly at the other party, without the slightest movement in his hand.
In the scorching atmosphere, the middle-aged man next to the young man spoke for the first time.
"Second Lieutenant Yuan, it's not too early, we still have a task to do, and we can't delay."
The young man's eyes were firmly fixed on Lu Yuan, and only after half a sound did he put away his sword and return it to the sheath, and only then did he squeeze out a few words from between his teeth.
"Let's go!"
He was the first to turn around, and the others followed.
Soon, the detachment of the First Army set out again and headed west.
Lu Yuan stood silently in place, watching the cavalry disappear from sight, and then retracted his gaze.
