Chapter 838: The Fall of the Holy Throne (4)

Now that you're here, it's natural to see if there's anything you can take away.

Of course, in this fortress, the precious things have probably been taken away by the retreating evil cultivators, and the spirit stones may not be left, but some larger decorations, or some formations that are still in complete form, are also very suitable as trophies.

I cleaned up my own ring a little, just because of the current chaotic relationship, the cultivation resources are getting less and less, and the things seized from the fortress this time can be exchanged for some spirit stones at that time, which is also very good.

As for his own personal guards, he only needs to divide them in the end. In this environment, where there is a risk of falling anytime and anywhere, he doesn't want any accidents.

In this way, after visiting some key locations in the fortress, Gu Congyang had almost made a lot of money, but he found something wrong.

This siege fortress is in space.

Not only the spirit stones, but also the storage houses in the entire fortress, there is not even a little grain left. This is unrealistic. Because among all the forces, the monks who can convince the valley and reach the spiritual light realm actually account for only a small part.

As for the monks of the higher realms after that, they were even rarer.

Therefore, whenever there is a big war between forces, the monks of the human realm are actually the real main force, and it can also be said that they act as cannon fodder.

Then the eating, drinking, lodging, and transportation of these realm monks are things that the major forces must solve when they go on an expedition.

And here, in several places where the frescoes were hung, only the walls were blank, there were not a single book in the bookcase, and the whole fortress seemed to be stripped naked.

Is this something that can be done in a hasty retreat?

Gu Congyang faintly felt bad in his heart, if he hadn't slowly moved these things from the beginning, it would have been impossible for the fortress to be looted so thoroughly.

Just as he wanted to take a look inside another fortress, a thick cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from the north gate.

"What's the matter, there's a fire?"

"I don't know, my lord, I've already asked He Lao to go and see it," Lin Wenrong said in the personal guard, "Maybe the enemy is deliberately setting fires." ”

That's right, Gu Congyang thought of a trap first, but he quickly realized that this method of sealing the door with fire was meaningless.

Not to mention that you can bypass the city gate and climb out directly from the dirt slope, that is, if you light the fire, if no one takes advantage of the chaos to attack, the organized team can quickly extinguish the fire source.

The correct way to use it is to set up troops in the city, and when the fire breaks out everywhere, take advantage of the panic of the enemy army to launch a surprise attack, which can effectively disrupt the enemy's formation and even force the opponent back.

As he said, a formation that no one operates is just a dead thing.

At this moment, black smoke rose from the other three gates, and the fire could already be seen at the north gate, and the fire was rapidly expanding, as if it were filled with straw.

The howls of civilians could be heard in the city, as if someone's house had been set on fire.

That's not right...... Gu Congyang pondered.

Not to mention that he came in through the north gate, there is no fire there, only an open space!

Moreover, the advance team of his previous group of stormtroopers had already explored all parts of this fortress, and it was clear that there were no living beings here, and his current divine consciousness had spread, and he had not felt the fluctuations of living beings at all.

Where did these miserable howls come from? Gu Congyang's heart became more and more gloomy.

He touched the jade pendant on his neck, and his heart calmed down a little.

It was a token that his father had passed on to him, representing the strength of the family and being with him. Whenever he hesitated or hesitated, he would stroke the jade pendant for inner peace.

There was something evil about this siege fortress, he thought, reason had triumphed over greed, and he decided to go out first.

The army can camp at the south gate, both to monitor the siege fortress and to receive reinforcements from the city lord's guards.

Thinking of this, he ordered Lin Weirong: "We will go out of the city from the south, and you will blow the call on the road to gather all the scattered stormtroopers." ”

"Obey, Master Gu!"

The group immediately opened up, but when they reached the south gate, the flames had burned to the entire fortress, and the fortress was set on fire, and the heat in their faces forced them to retreat.

This flame was obviously different from ordinary flames, its dim yellow flame light was more like a passage through time, from ancient times, surrounded by smoke and flames.

"Calm down! The monks who are proficient in water magic form a large condensation array, and together they work together to destroy the flames. Gu Congyang had also experienced several battles, and issued a series of orders at a very fast speed, "Don't worry about the surrounding fortresses, you just need to extinguish the burning obstacles on the street and clear a road." Don't stop the summons and let others know where we are!"

"Lord Governor!" a guard came running from the direction of the center of the city, and before he could stop the horse, the person had already turned over from the horse and jumped down, it was Lin Wenrong, who was sent to the north gate by the captain of the guard before, "My lord, the fire at the north gate cannot be extinguished at all!"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Congyang asked in surprise, "Can't extinguish it?"

"No, it doesn't work at all. Lin Wenrong said quickly, "And not only will it not be doused by the water, but it can also flow along the water! My lord, now the entire Beicheng District is burning! There are even some people who see the shadow of the Void Demon, we estimate that they have been tricked and have been surrounded." ”

"An unquenchable flame...... The encircled Void Demon ......," he muttered, "can continue to burn under the water potential, and can also use the water spirit element to make the fire gradually rise...... Could it be...... No way...... Impossible......"

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then Gu Congyang shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, this is the evil demon fire cast by the Taixu Evil Cultivator!"

He subconsciously stroked the jade pendant on his chest: "Everyone get on the horse, let's rush over, the other party is just a group of rabble." ”

He paused, "Lin Wenrong, you take a group of elites to rush out first, and I will stay here to collect the people who follow behind." ”

"Yes!" Lin Wenrong nodded, "Take care, my lord." The rest of the guards, keep up!"

He then flipped on his horse and rushed towards the end of the scorching street without hesitation, as a large number of Void Demons poured out from the edge and began to bite at them.

"Phew!"

Lin Wenrong slashed the Void Demon in front of him in half with a single sword, and their group of elites was like a silver blade, cutting into the center of the entire Void Demon team.

The Void Demon suddenly became a mess, and even a small number of evil cultivators fell to the ground when they fled in a hurry, and then were trampled to death by the spirit beast.
