The army slowly stepped into the black city, and a few veterans took the farmer in the other direction.

The army continued to march, and along the way there was an endless stream of troops like theirs, shuttling through the streets, and they were all veterans, giving the impression of fierce beasts walking in the city.

As a border fortress, also known as Yuancheng, it has been stationed with millions of troops for many years, accounting for seventy percent of the total population, and the remaining three percent are a small number of aborigines and merchant adventurers living here.

Among them, the merchants are the most numerous.

The sparse crowd passed by the army, and on the edge of the street were small stalls, half of which were for the sale of beast goods, and the remaining half was divided between other restaurants, pharmacies, and inns.

What do you say about the city?

Serious, desolate, brilliant......

It has the area and population that a big city should have, and it also has what a big city doesn't have, or even exceeded, but it doesn't have the atmosphere it should have at all, and everyone seems to be trying their best to live, so they give up on the rest:

Happy, joyful, relaxed......

Modesty frowned, he didn't like this kind of environment, there was nothing like this place in all the places he had been.

Wu Jue in front looked behind him and frowned, most of the recruits were affected by the unusual atmosphere in the city, and only a few were observing with great interest.

Yi Fei looked at the black stone houses around him, and the travelers with weapons everywhere, and was amazed:

"It's really a different place, it's the same as a few years ago, I'm afraid only the imperial dynasty has such an ability!"

Qian Xiao asked cautiously beside him, "Brother Yi, have you been to this place?"

"I've been here three years ago, but I've only been here for less than a day. Yi Fei pursed his lips and said, he still seemed to have something unspoken. Then he glanced at Qian Xiao, and said in the same small voice: "Qian Xiao, remember not to have a conflict in this city, even if someone else provokes it first." ”

"Why?" asked Qianxiao.

Not ready to say more, Yi Fei said lightly: "No, just remember it, you will naturally know when you should know, but we will only rest for a few days, and I am afraid that we will not have a chance to come out." ”

"Oh!" Qian Xiao agreed.

There was a calm between the two.

There are still a lot of whispered conversations like Qian Xiao, Wu Jue looked back a few times, and he didn't know if he was letting himself go and didn't care.

Or maybe there is indeed an idea of making them comfortable for a few days.

After an hour of walking, I still didn't see the edge of the city, and the straight streets, shrouded in gray mist, seemed to derive to the end of the sky.

It's impossible to imagine how big the city really is.

After walking for another half hour, a different building finally appeared.

It was a tower, a hundred meters high, and each tower had a huge flag above it.

Although there is a thick gray fog, you can clearly see when you look at the flag, the burning black Zhu Yan, and the professional and domineering divine beast form, are more high-definition than high-definition - I can't help but feel a wave of eagerness in my heart.

Below the tower are jagged barracks, which derive for dozens of miles.

Wu Jue led more than 200 people through the checkpoint, marched to a clearing on the edge of the barracks, told them to set up camp on their own and left, just like Yi Fei guessed, Wu Jue warned them not to go out, otherwise they would not be able to live and die.

......

Idle around the clearing, the ground is sand, look at the sky, you can't see anything, except morning and night, there are only two colors, gray and black.

Originally, he felt that the gray fog had thinned outside, but when he came to the city, it was thick again.

The barracks had already been set up, but after waiting for an hour or two, Wu Jue did not come back, and no one asked them to do anything.

Now Li Kui and some of the more diligent ones have begun to breathe in the "military martial arts" exercise, but the exercise has stopped after a while.

Hungry.

They wanted to cook and eat, but a veteran really said not to act rashly, and also explained that because more than 100 people died, Wu Jue was not easy to explain, and something might have provoked it.

Time passed in hunger, and Wu Jue finally came back at night, bringing back a few large pots of wotou and a lot of rice porridge that was enough for people to drink.

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner to receive the food.

Wu Jue also sat on the edge of the tent not far away with a bowl of rice porridge in two nests, and a discerning person knew at a glance that he was not good.

Yi Fei also saw that he took two nests and walked over with rice porridge and sat down next to Wu Jue, as a colleague who has been with him for more than a year, whether it is for himself or for everyone, Yi Fei feels that he is still obliged to understand the situation.

"What's the matter, Old Wu, was reprimanded?"

Like an old friend greeting him, with a nest in his mouth, Yi Fei said vaguely: "You are not someone who will be annoyed if you are scolded a few words!"

Wu Jue's hand was paused, and then he continued to eat, and said in a cold voice: "No, do your own thing, I don't need you to worry about it yet." ”

"Oh! Lao Wu, you are not right, I have been your civil official for a year, and I have helped you deal with countless chores in half a year. ”

Making an angry look, Yi Fei said angrily: "Old Wu, let me tell you, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, or not." ”

With a cold expression, Wu Jue glanced at Yi Fei, and his voice was stiff: "We have been incorporated into the vanguard." ”

"What?"

Hearing this news, his originally smiling face sank in an instant, and Yi Fei almost wanted to scold.

Vanguard, what's that?

It was an almost mortal cannon fodder team, and there was also a name in the barracks, the death squad.

Because every time the vanguard of war will run to the forefront to interview the enemy, or go to the most dangerous places.

It's good that one of ten people can live in the vanguard, which is usually a punishment for those soldiers who make a big mistake.

When it comes to vanguards, even veterans change color.

"Why? Just because more than 100 people died, but is that the reason?"

Throwing the rice porridge in his hand on the ground, Yi Fei was furious, glaring at Wu Jue angrily: "Old Wu, you let these guys go to the vanguard! You let these guys go to the vanguard, you let them die, how many of them can survive!!"

Pointing to his companion who had been with him for several months, Yi Fei trembled with anger.

With such a big movement, the eyes of the other people in the open space were all attracted, and their faces were full of confusion. Qian Xiao wanted to go over, but Ruan Hong grabbed him and shook his head at him.

seemed to be refuted by a soldier, and it seemed that he was holding his breath, the nest head in his hand had been scratched, and he looked at Yi Fei fiercely, Wu Jue said categorically: "This is an order." ”

There was no scolding, and there was no dancing knife, just four words in one sentence. But these four words are heavier than anything else.

Leng Leng, Yi Fei didn't move, he wasn't afraid of death, he even admired the soldiers who died on the battlefield for his family and country, but he watched his companions die in vain for no reason - he couldn't do it. He may not die, but the others who enter the vanguard are almost certain to die.

But what does this have to do with Wu Jue?

He's just a corporal.

He's just a soldier, and he's much bigger than him!

"General, I'm sorry, but I overstepped it. ”

Yi Fei thought a lot, his words were lowered, he picked up the nest head on the ground, wiped the sand on it and continued to eat.

"It's okay!" Wu Jue didn't care.

They still don't know what the situation is, but they are still silent when they hear "obey orders". Suddenly, the atmosphere that gradually recovered because of the food fell into a trough again.

After eating it quickly, he picked up the second one on the ground, Yi Fei seemed to vent, and went over to ask for rice porridge and a nest head to eat.

Like a leather ball wrapped in his mouth, Yi Fei swallowed it with difficulty, and then exhaled a long breath. In an indifferent tone, he spoke again: "Where to go?"

Without concealment, Wu Jue said: "Demon Dragon Valley." ”

"Demon Dragon Valley?"

After chattering for a while, confirming that he hadn't heard of it, Yi Fei shook his head and asked, "I haven't heard of it, can you show me the detailed information?"

Looking up at the dark sky, after hesitating for a moment, Wu Jue said: "It also has a name, the forbidden land of the dragon clan, where is the edge of the Demon Dragon Valley. You go and ask the soldier for the specific situation, and he will tell you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yi Fei's reaction, he swallowed the last mouthful of rice porridge and handed the bowl to the veteran next to him, Wu Jue got up and left the camp.

"Dragon Forbidden Land! Dragon Forbidden Land!"

After repeating it twice, it always felt very familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, and then thinking about the location of this pass, Yi Fei finally remembered what the "Dragon Forbidden Land" was, and then looked up and wanted to reprimand Wu Jue regardless of life or death, but he didn't see anything.

The world is vast, there are obviously many people, but Yifei feels a little lonely.

Sitting on the ground, his mood was more complicated than knowing that they had joined the vanguard, and he knocked on his helmet, and for the first time, Yi Fei regretted that he had sneaked out.

If it doesn't come out...... If you don't join the military......

But there are no ifs.

"Brother Yi, what's going on? Can you tell us about it? We're companions. ”

Walking over with Ruan Hong, he didn't care about the sand on the ground and sat next to Yi Fei, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't worry, if there is a difficulty, we will carry it together, we will not leave you, you are our captain." ”

Ruan Hong didn't speak, but he also did it to the ground.

A clear and humble attitude.

Yi Fei raised his head, looked at Qian Xiao and then at Ruan Hong, it was difficult to find his eyes red in the dim light. Qian Xiao saw that he had a reaction, and said with a smile again: "Is there something wrong with Lao Wu?" Don't worry about him, we have to have confidence in him, we can see how powerful he is in the past few months." And even if there is a new chief, it depends on whether we admit it or not!"

Qian Xiao thought that the previous events had affected Wu Jue, and the easiest thing to think of was that Wu Jue was removed from his post and replaced by a new chief.

Sneered, not knowing whether to laugh at himself or humble, Yi Fei shook his head and said, "It's not what you think, Lao Wu is still our chief." ”

Qian Xiao and Ruan Hong were puzzled, and Ruan Hong was thoughtful.

Qian Xiao asked directly: "Then why ......?"

Unexpectedly, Yi Fei stood up directly and walked towards Wu Jue's tent, he was going to find the adjutant and ask about the situation, but he still left a sentence similar to advice:

"Qian Xiao Ruanhong, you can take a good rest these days, just tell me what you want to eat, I will find it for you, even if it is meat...... Also, don't tell anyone about it, and don't run out. ”
