Twilight Chapter 5: The Mist

"You must come back! No matter how long it takes, I will be waiting for you here!" Zhu Ziying said.

Mo Yu nodded and said, "I promise you, when I come back, I will tell you about this harvest and talk to you about the scenery outside." ā€

Ziying secretly wiped away her tears and laughed "poof". "What's the matter, I'm worried about something, as if I know the end, isn't there an enemy army? We're so good, the Jedi won't lose. Brother Yu is going to be the guardian of Black Dust, a big hero, it's too late for me to be happy. She squeezed out a smile, but forcibly hid all the pain and worries in her heart.

"Hmm!" he looked at the girl's smile, but vaguely found the far-fetchedness, "I want to protect my homeland, protect my loved ones, protect the people I love, and the people who love me." Even if this protection is heavy and will cost me my life, I will not give up!"

"No... No!" Zhu Ziying's voice trembled a little, and she hurriedly interrupted the other party.

Zhu Ziying hugged her knees and closed her eyes to feel the breath of the place. The breeze blew in her face, raising her head, and the bell at her waist made a crisp sound, the sound was very delicate, and there was some more peace in the silent night. She sniffed the flowers in the wind, slowly opened her eyes, and said, "It's not early, let's go back." There's a lot to do tomorrow. ā€

The central district of black dust has lost its former prosperity, and the streets have become very deserted. In the dark night, no one was walking around the street, only a cool breeze was blowing.

Truth be told, it's not too late. If it was before, even if it was late, the people of Heichen would go out for a walk together, take a walk in the square, and put river lanterns by the lake. The people here are so casual, they don't have to wait until the festival to do something, here, for the people of Heichen, every day is a festival, and they are happy every day.

Today, there are only a few homes on the street that have not turned off their lights. If you stand on the statue of the Chongming Bird and look down now, there are only a few sparks burning on the dark earth, and there is a little more desolation.

The sculpture is hidden in the darkness, gradually losing its grandeur.

On the opposite side of the bird is a wild goose tower, two buildings facing each other in the middle of this dark area.

The surroundings were very quiet, and Yu Yiziying walked by, and she could vaguely hear the sighs and cries in the house. It was as if it was a man's farewell, a woman's retention, and the gentle purring of a baby in her arms.

I don't know when war was created, and from then on, it will always bring suffering to the world.

The masterminds behind every war have drawn up a great blueprint that has led to frequent wars, but no victors have ever been born, and only speculators have survived. They met each other, but the people parted in life and death, turned into white bones, and were gradually invaded by wind and frost.

"Brother Yu, let's stop here. Zhu Ziying broke the silence, stopped at the intersection, and then quietly looked at Yuichi.

"I'll send you again, it's not far anyway. "The street lights at the intersection are not too bright, the distance between the two is too far, and there is a lot of darkness in the middle. It is inevitable that a girl will feel uneasy to walk on such a road on her own.

"No, you have to go back and get ready, I'll go first. Zhu Ziying didn't give him time to speak, she turned around and ran, there was darkness in front of her, and at that moment, it seemed that thousands of dark hands were wandering in the night, slowly pulling her into it.

Mo Yu watched her back fade away, and finally disappeared into the darkness, never to be seen again.

"Have you gone far?" he muttered softly, but did not stop the girl, and all he could do now was stand on the side of the road.

Mo Yuyi lowered his head and picked up a purple bell that had fallen next to his feet.

"It's—" he held the bell in his palm and muttered to himself, "Okay, goodbye then." ā€

A number of people gathered on the border, and they stood on both sides, quietly watching the soldiers leave.

The atmosphere was as serious as it was back then, and there was even a lot more sadness in comparison. Clansmen and people from various families came to practice for the army. The gray-haired old man was on crutches and clutched his son's hand so tightly that he could not bear to let him go, and a soldier held the small hand of the baby in his wife's arms, and his eyes were red, and he had just turned his head and was about to lift his feet, when the sleeping baby suddenly began to cry. The soldier paused, his pace a little hesitant.

"Return safely. The wife behind him said softly, "My child and I are waiting for you at home." ā€

"Hmm. This sentence was like a reassuring pill, and the soldier was relieved, and took a new step into the army.

Mo Yu turned his head away, unable to bear to look at these scenes.

"Brother Yu--Brother Yu--" The voices of several teenagers came from a distance, he was stunned, and with the voice, the three of Murong Jue were running towards the army. He waved his hand, and a smile went to his face.

I don't know why, he couldn't help but glance at the crowd again, but there was a little more disappointment in his eyes.

Elder Lei Guang and Elder Shangguan Hua glanced at each other, rode their horses to Mo Hao's side, and said to him, "Let's go." ā€

Mo Hao nodded, and the flag bearer unfurled the flag, fluttering in the wind, and the word "black dust" on the flag was engraved in everyone's minds like faith. The trumpets sounded, and the army slowly advanced.

The crowd made a brief noise, then took a step back to make room for the troops. Each of them held flowers in their hands and silently placed them on the ground.

The soldiers walked through the flowers and looked at the black bamboo forest at the end, and the weapons in their hands let out a low roar.

On the hillside, Zhu Ziying stood alone, watching the black dust army gradually move away, Zhu Liang Mo Yuyi's figure slowly blurred, and finally covered by the woods, and everything that followed was unknown.

"You're not going to send them off?" Mo Chen walked over softly and stood beside the girl. Her face was slightly haggard, and her eyes were dull.

"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything then. Zhu Ziying replied.

"Maybe you're right. She patted Ziying on the shoulder, then shifted her gaze to the distance, staring at them.

"Gone. Mo Chen exhaled, smoothed the hair from his ears, and then turned away from the hillside.

The army march was divided into three sections, Mo Hao led the main army of 40,000 people in the front, Zhu Liang and others led 10,000 people to be responsible for support, located in the middle, and Mo Yu led 2,000 people to escort grain and grass, at the end.

Yu Yi raised his head, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, giving people a very depressed sense of pain. Although it was the first time he had seen the surrounding scenery, there was nothing amazing about it, so he still chose to be cautious and carefully examine his surroundings.

Mo Hao took the map, looked at the surrounding situation, and said, "After this forest, you will reach Zichen, so you need to be ready." ā€

Shangguan Hualema looked at the forest in front of him and couldn't help but shudder. "This forest is cold enough, and I have a bad feeling. ā€

"If there is an ambush, it will be encountered, and the whole army must be vigilant!"

"Elder Lei. Mo Hao looked back at the army, "What do you think of these soldiers?"

"It's hard to say, if you haven't experienced the baptism of war and don't know anything about the battlefield, it's hard for these soldiers to fight a good battle. Lei Guang rubbed his beard and shook his head.

Elder Shangguan also said: "What's more, many of these people were recruited temporarily, and they still don't know anything about the enemy's strength for the time being. ā€

"No, I believe these kids, they're probably much better than we were back then. Mo Hao smiled and shook his head, "Didn't you come here like this twenty years ago?"

"Well, that's true. Elder Shangguan recalled the deeds of that year, and suddenly felt that the forest in front of him was not gloomy, compared to the past incident twenty years ago, everyone had indelible pain. "It's just that what happened twenty years ago should have been sealed in the dust, and it was a catastrophe. ā€

Mo Yuyi patrolled the front and back of the army, and the soldiers walked closely, one next to the other. Among the many people, he suddenly saw a soldier of very short stature, and his steps were not like the others, his steps were small, and his walking posture was a little soft, very much like a girl.

Mo Yu rode forward and asked, "That brother, are you okay?"

I saw that the man turned his head slightly, then turned around again, lowered his head, and said, "No... Nothing. "The voice was a bit rough, but it sounded very awkward, and it felt like it was forcibly pretended.

The people around them turned their eyes curiously, looked at the guy, and pointed.

"Something doesn't sound right. ā€

"yes, why is it so twisted?"

There was some noise in the army, Yu Yi frowned one by one, and immediately said: "Calm and quiet, keep in formation!"

"Are you alright?" Feather got off his horse and walked towards the creep, who instinctively took a few steps back.

Seeing him fleeing, Yu Yi took a few more steps forward and grabbed his arm directly. Suddenly, a chill struck, making the former stunned.

"Who are you?" Mo Yu exerted force one by one, and the little soldier was pulled over at once, and he immediately tried to break free, but in a hurry, he accidentally emptied the soles of his feet, fell to the ground, and his helmet also fell off.

At that moment, everyone's faces changed.

The soldier slowly stood up, his slender hair slowly falling down to his waist. But she always looked cold, not a little afraid.

"How is it a woman?" many soldiers looked at her appearance and couldn't help but be stunned.

The girl was a beauty like an ice sculpture, her face was pale, her facial features were small and delicate, and a blue light traveled through her pupils. She gasped softly, her mouth bubbling with white air, and she couldn't help but feel that the temperature around her was very low after looking at it for a long time. However, the most striking thing is her slightly gray hair, which shows a look that does not match her age.

Yu Yi, on the other hand, felt strange, firstly, she had entered the army without permission, and had evaded the inspection, and had followed them all the way here; secondly, the girl's body was very cold, and it was simply not the body temperature of ordinary people.

"Mo Ming, why are you here?" Mo Yu pulled her out of the army one by one, and said to everyone at the same time: "Continue on the road, you go first, I will go over immediately." ā€

Mo Yu pulled Mo Ming aside and asked, "Do you know that this is a war, not a joke!"

"I know, I'm not kidding. Mo Ming's expression was still indifferent, even if Yu Yi in front of her looked serious, she was still very calm.

Mo Yu thrust his waist and said sharply: "Go back quickly, I order you!"

Mo Ming glanced at his surroundings and shook his head. "Brother Yu, do you know? You went on a campaign, in this huge family, I am an outsider, for so many years, I have only brought bad luck to the family, not many people are willing to treat me as a relative, rather than this, it is better to fight with you." ā€

Yu Yi was stunned one by one, "This can't be your excuse, you have to go back!"

Mo Ming pointed to the road behind him, and then pointed to the army in front, and said, "We've all come here, can you rest assured that I will go back alone?"

"You..."Mo Yu thought about it for a while, Mo Ming was really not very cared about in the family, if he hadn't gone last time, those maids didn't know how they would make it difficult for her, and now that she had been marching for so long, it was really worrying to let her go back, "Okay, it's okay to come with us, you have to listen to me." ā€

"Hmm!definitely!" Mo Ming nodded with a smile.

For Yu Yi, he rarely saw Mo Mingxiao, perhaps, this was the first time she smiled. But I have to say that the girl's smile is really cute, and he can't help but feel a little soothed.

The army rests in the woods. The sky slowly darkened, a cloudy wind blew, the forest rustled, and the temperature around it began to drop.

Suddenly, a strong wind swelled, and the trees were slanted a lot, and thousands of leaves fell off, and before they could hit the ground, another gust of wind struck, blowing them away far away. The weapons in the army were blown to the ground, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

Mo Hao frowned, and suddenly realized, so he immediately ordered the army to leave quickly.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Hua asked.

"Hurry! I don't have time to explain!" Mo Hao didn't say much.

The mist in the forest gradually appeared, and a white expanse gathered from all around. As soon as the army was put in order, Mo Hao gave an order and hurriedly marched forward.

The crow fluttered its wings and jumped out of the branches, and all the leaves on the tree had fallen off, leaving only the bare branches. The leaves swirled, no longer swaying in the wind, but flying like arrows and darts in a veiling veil, heading straight for the army. Suddenly, the muffled sound of a sharp blade slashing through his body suddenly appeared, and hot blood gushed out, with a fishy smell, emanating through the forest.

"Ahhh

The moon just came out, the blade fell to the ground, and the sword was under the light of the moon, and the cold light was pressing, but the fallen leaves were flying, and the cold edge was all drowned!

Mo Hao had a hot feeling in his left hand, and by the moonlight, he saw a slimy liquid flowing through his hand. He pinched a leaf, activated the energy in his body (which is responsible for supplying power in his body) and began to sense, a small blue dot appeared in the middle of the leaf, and then spread along the lines to the entire leaf. Suddenly, the leaves tore apart and turned to ashes.

"What a strong force. He couldn't help but sigh.

"The whole army obeys the order, line up!" Mo Hao waved his sword, and the attacked army immediately began to move and formed a circle. The pikemen are on the outermost periphery, protected by shield soldiers, and coordinated with each other, with archers on the second layer, responsible for covering shoots. In the middle are the leading generals, who are in charge of command. Dozens of circles lined up, waiting for the appearance of the enemy.

A vast white mist gathered towards them. The fog thickened and visibility became worse. Slowly, the fog changed color and began to turn yellow, and the air was filled with a pungent smell, and many people were unsteady on their feet, fainting to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

"Damn! It's good now, the enemy didn't see it, and his combat power loss was huge!" Lei Guang looked at the fallen people and couldn't help but scold.

There were bursts of laughter in the sky, echoing through the echoes of the forest, deafening!

The voice was full of shock and fear, and the Black Dust soldiers couldn't help but weaken their legs and began to whisper, their hearts were unstable, and the queue was seriously deformed.

The yellow fog became thicker, and suddenly it was mixed with a faint red light, which spread along the mist......
