Chapter 69 The storm is coming
It took three days to go back and forth in this martial arts competition, and the departure of Yan Xu and Bei Yidao gave some people a chance, and they did not miss this opportunity, but grabbed it and then executed it.
In the middle of the night, countless rickety figures appeared outside Tianxiang City, which soon aroused the vigilance of Tianxiang City, and the night watchman immediately sounded the alarm bell, and Tang Le, who was in charge of tonight's night patrol, arrived as soon as possible.
After this period of training, Tang Le has taken off a little bit of youth, although he still has a full sense of justice, he already knows how to be flexible, instead of a tendon rampage, hurting himself and his friends.
Although he encountered an unexpected situation at the moment, Tang Le did not panic, while calming the night watchman who was a little flustered, he used his mana to open his eyes to check the situation, this is a small skill he learned from Yan Xu, it is very useful, so he quickly saw the situation outside.
"It's a walking corpse, order the garrison to gather, disperse the four walls, light more torches, be strictly vigilant, and don't go out of the city! Don't panic, the walking corpse can't climb the city wall!" Tang Le received Qin Ming's short-term training, and he didn't know anything about defending the city, so he strictly followed the orders left by Qin Ming in advance, strictly forbidding him to go out of the city, and at the same time pacifying those garrison militia who were a little flustered.
These garrisons were in effect militias that were regularly trained, led by the owners, who patrolled and kept vigil at night, mobilizing them to assemble in the event of a battle to fill the vacancies of the soldiers.
Although Tang Le was a headhunter, there were less than ten people in the entire Tianxiang City who could give orders, so his words carried a lot of weight, and those garrison militiamen immediately acted according to Tang Le's orders, lighting a large number of torches on the city wall to disperse the darkness, and some people beat gongs and drums to notify the nearby garrison militia to come and gather.
The residents living in the Baiman Mountain Boundary are very vigilant, and they do not rub when they hear the sound of the gong, while putting on their clothes, they tell their daughter-in-law to take the children and the old man to hide in the cellar, and then do not wait for the mother-in-law to reply, pick up the weapons sent by the yamen and follow the owner out of the door, this is their home, they built it brick by brick, and the days are getting better and better, and now whoever dares to let them live a good life, they will let the other party have no life.
According to Qin Ming's orders, when he did not encounter a large number of enemies, only 500 standing garrison militias were mobilized, of which 400 went to the city wall, 100 guarded the yamen, and was ready to support the Quartet at any time.
The one-zhang high city wall, coupled with the four hundred garrison militia with swords in hand, unless they encountered three or five times as many enemies, Tianxiang City would be safe, not to mention that they already knew that the opponent was just some walking corpse.
Walking corpses are not uncommon in the Baiman Mountain Realm, after all, there are many people who die in the wilderness, and there is no one to collect them, many of them turn into walking corpses and wander around, and sometimes they will be killed and burned immediately when they run to the village, unless a very rare corpse tide is formed, otherwise the walking corpse is nothing.
But Tang Le didn't relax because of this, she was not stupid, but sometimes she was too tendoned, now after Yan Xu's guidance and Qin Ming's teaching, she was already much better, knowing that such a large-scale purposeful gathering of walking corpses, there must be someone behind the trouble, otherwise it would be difficult for a walking corpse without intelligence to form this scale, unless there was a large-scale plague or war nearby, it was possible for too many people to die in a short time.
But those walking corpses are not dressed in the same way, and the degree of dilapidation is also different, this possibility can be ruled out, nine times out of ten someone deliberately collected it, as the head catcher Tang Le still has this observation.
If you think about it, you know that it is impossible to succeed if you think about it with the walking corpses who can't climb and move slowly, so this is likely to be a trick for the other party to attract the attention of Tianxiang City, and the other party must have a backhand, but where is the ultimate goal?
Tang Le fell into deep thought, she really couldn't think of where Tianxiang City would attract these people.
Yao Ang, who has been eating and living in the Yamen, is wearing a super enlarged version of the scholar's uniform, sitting in front of the sand table, staring at the changes on it, his face is solemn, and the Xuantie War Hammer is placed at his feet, it seems that he has also found that tonight may not be peaceful.
Yan Xu had already arranged the upside-down Five Elements Banner Gate Array under Tianxiang City, and the slightest change in the entire Tianxiang City would be reflected on the sand table, even the walking corpses outside the city were the same, one by one the walking corpses the size of ants were slowly moving on the sand table, which could not attract Yao Ang's attention at all, he was carefully looking for the black hand behind the scenes, because he, like Tang Le, knew that these were just small tricks used to distract their attention, and the real purpose of the other party was still unclear.
On the Tianxiang Ancient Tree, Yufeng walked out of the wooden house, stood on the edge of the platform and watched the endless darkness of the night sky in the distance, as if there was a demon god hiding somewhere to peep, and a trace of uneasiness rose in her heart, which made her frown.
"It doesn't look like it's going to be quiet tonight, it's going to be stormy, so you have to be prepared. Yufeng muttered to himself, then returned to the wooden house and took a few magic weapons with him, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
The leader of the warlock horse thieves who pretended to be an iron hand and still dressed as a savage, the fat monk who was smiling and full of greasy sesame oil, the red-haired girl who was dressed as a man with a slender blood-red long knife on his back, and the black-robed man who was silent sitting on the white bone carriage, the four of them looked at each other far away from Tianxiang City.
"Now let's not waste any more time, Tianxiang City is not something that any of us can eat alone, we must join forces. The warlock horse thief leader touched his iron hand and said coldly, if it wasn't for the last resort, he wouldn't have found these three people, after all, the forces behind the three people, which one of them is stronger than himself.
"But just a small town can make you helpless, Wu Lun, you are still such a waste. The red-haired girl snorted disdainfully and said to Wu Lun, the leader of the warlocks and horse thieves.
Wu Lun gritted his teeth secretly, but he didn't dare to offend the other party easily, after all, the other party was the most favored disciple of the Blood Knife Ancestor, far from being able to offend himself, he really offended the other party, the Blood Knife Ancestor would personally come to the door to teach him how to be civilized and polite, but he was not so easy to swallow this breath, so he said with a wry smile.
"It's just a horse thief in the lower place, how can it compare to the Wind Traceless Hero, who is the proud disciple of the Blood Knife Ancestor, and he is also waving the flag and shouting for you, so the next battle will depend on you, the hero. ”
Wu Lun is also a legendary figure, he was a poor scholar, because he repeatedly failed the exam, and the family property was almost sold, and he didn't even have the next meal, so he went up the mountain and fell into the grass in a fit of anger, and sold his hometown for the first time, and took the lead in robbing a clean one, and was nicknamed the white-eyed and black-hearted wolf.
But soon after, he disappeared, and suddenly appeared in Baiman Mountain three years later, and soon formed a team of horse thieves, known as the Black Wind Horse Thieves, who made a lot of reputation, and has always been known for being vicious and vicious.
It is impossible for such a person to be willing to be soft, obviously he is putting a trap on Feng Wuxi, and the fat monk can naturally see it, but what does this have to do with him, so he is still smiling and relieved as the background.
