Chapter 17: Into the Wild Forest

In the City of Weeping Blood, Huang Jue hurried back to the Huang Mansion with two of his subordinates. The Huang family is one of the four major families in Weeping Blood City, and even if the general of Zhengxi has to give three points, the mansion is naturally extremely magnificent, just the guards in front of the door, there are more than 20 people, from the perspective of momentum, the cultivation of these people is not lower than that of the middle of the day after tomorrow.

"I've seen the eldest prince!" everyone saluted Huang Jue, but Huang Jue didn't pay attention to it and walked over quickly.

After entering the mansion, the housekeeper Huang Zhong greeted him: "The eldest young master came back so early today?"

"Where my father is, I want to see him. Huang Jue said.

"The master is in the study, and the eldest young master is coming with me. Huang Zhong led the way, his body was rickety, his beard was white, and he looked drooping and old, but his speed was no slower than Huang Jue in the speed.

Within two minutes, the group came outside the study.

"Jue'er is back, come in. A deep voice came from the study.

Huang Jue straightened his clothes and slowly stepped in, Huang Zhong and Huang Jue's subordinate Huang Lin, while Huang Meng was waiting outside the study.

"Father!" Huang Jue saluted to the man behind the desk, this man's face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, and his long purple beard hung down, and he was Huang Shuyi, the contemporary head of the Huang family.

Huang Shuyi put down the book in his hand and said slowly: "What makes you so flustered?"

Huang Jue said: "I just got the news, the beast tide has begun!"

"Oh?" Huang Shuyi was a little surprised, "It seems that this beast tide is more urgent than we expected." ”

"Then what now, father, neither the family nor my side have been arranged......

Huang Shuyi said: "It doesn't matter, the family has almost prepared, and it can set off in two days at most, and the other three families must be the same." Now, it's up to the military to make arrangements. ”

"In addition to my four major families and the Northwest Legion, the foreign warriors in Weeping Blood City are also a problem. I have asked people to investigate, since the news of the beast tide spread, no less than 300,000 martial artists have rushed to Weeping Blood City, and from what I know so far, there are more than twenty innate among them!" Huang Jue said again.

Huang Shuyi shook his head indifferently: "This Weeping Blood City is our territory, no matter how many foreign warriors there are, they can't compete with us, our opponent is not them, but Liu Yuntao." ”

......

Liu Yuntao, the general of Zhengxi, also received the news of the beast tide at this time, and he quickly asked people to gather his subordinates. In the conference hall of the General's Mansion, the commanders of more than 20 legions were discussing the matter of the beast tide with Liu Yuntao, and Cao Ming was impressively listed.

Liu Yuntao looked at the commanders below, some of which he brought from the royal capital, and some of which he had won over after taking office. Judging from the number, only a little more than half of the 40 commanders of the Blood War Legion came, that is to say, Liu Yuntao was able to master only half of the Northwest Legion. As for the remaining half, eighty percent is controlled by the four major families, and two layers have chosen neutrality.

"General, after only seven years, the beast tide has reappeared, which is a bit unusual. Sun Chong, the commander of the Rock Legion, spoke, and the others looked deaf. Among the 40 elite legions of the Northwest Legion, the Rock Legion is the top in terms of strength and combat performance, and Sun Chongxiu has also reached the middle stage of congenital development. For these reasons, Sun Chong was very prestigious among the 40 commanders and was qualified to be the first to speak.

"I have already sent someone to investigate the specific cause of this beast tide, and now we have to discuss how to deal with it. Liu Yuntao said, "If the previous arrangement is followed, there will be hidden concerns about the safety of Weeping Blood City. ”

"The four major families have controlled Weeping Blood City for a hundred years, accumulated strong strength, and now control the small half of the Northwest Army, their hearts can be punished!" Cao Ming said loudly, and the other commanders listened, some nodded, and some disagreed.

When Liu Yuntao saw it, he was a little disappointed in his heart, the purpose of his coming to Crying Blood City was an open secret, that is, to regain control of Crying Blood City for the royal family, if he wanted to complete this task, Liu Yuntao must suppress the four major families. But now the four major families have taken the lead and secretly controlled the small half of the Northwest Army, coupled with their own forces, their strength has far surpassed Liu Yuntao.

Liu Yuntao is not afraid of being weak, he has the support of the royal family. What Liu Yuntao is most afraid of is that his team's hearts are not aligned, and some commanders are unwilling to deal with the four major families even if they take refuge in themselves.

"Now that the Weeping Blood City is facing a crisis, it is really not appropriate to provoke infighting. "The commander of the Cloud Piercing Legion, Taishi Hongdao, is a representative of this kind of person.

"The top priority is the defense of Weeping Blood City. Liu Yuntao had no choice but to skip the question of the four major families, "Judging from the past situation, every time there is a beast tide, the Golden Wolf Empire will take advantage of the fire to loot, in order to protect Weeping Blood City, we must leave enough troops in the west and south." ”

Lu Fei, the commander of the Thunder Legion, said: "What the general said is extremely true, in my opinion, we can leave 5 legions in the south and 10 legions in the west, and the rest of the legions can enter the wild forest with the general." ”

Lu Fei is not only the commander of the Thunder Legion, he usually plays the role of Liu Yuntao's think tank, and everyone values his words very much.

"If the general wants to enter the wild forest, he must bring at least 20 legions, leaving 15 legions, and there are too few people who can be mobilized. Cao Ming objected.

Lu Fei said with a smile: "What Commander Cao said is, I mean, the general must bring 23 legions. ”

Everyone was shocked, Liu Yuntao now controlled 23 legions, all of which were taken to the wild forest, was the Weeping Blood City lost to the four major families?

"Lu Fei, tell me the reason. Liu Yuntao said.

Lu Fei smiled confidently: "In my opinion, the defense of Weeping Blood City must rely on the four major families. Weeping Blood City is the foundation of the four major families, their hundred years of accumulation are here, once an accident occurs in Weeping Blood City, the four major families will become rootless trees, and decay is a matter of time. For us, Weeping Blood City is just an important fortress, important, but irrelevant. Even if Weeping Blood City is lost, our Northwest Army can retreat to the hinterland, and then wait for the opportunity to take it back. ”

Lu Fei looked at everyone and said firmly: "I'm sure that the four major families definitely value Weeping Blood City more than us, if we don't defend it, even if we give up the benefits in the wild forest, they will definitely defend it!"

"This, in case ......" Tai Shihong hesitated.

"It's nothing in case!" Cao Ming clearly supported Lu Fei, "I agree with Commander Lu's suggestion, the general can order 15 legions such as the Breaking Blade Legion and the Storm Legion to guard Weeping Blood City, and my Blood Battle Legion, Rock Legion, Cloud Piercing Legion, Thunder Legion and others will enter the Savage Forest with the general!"

"Okay, that's it!" Liu Yuntao made the final decision.

"Buzz ......" The long horn sound resounded through the weeping blood city.

"Is there a war?" Zhou Tianci, who was practicing the "Blood Shadow Sword Technique", heard the sound of the horn, quickly put on his battle armor and rushed to the school field, and in half a pillar of incense, more than 5,000 people of the Blood Battle Legion were assembled in the school field.

Commander Cao Ming nodded with satisfaction, after nearly a month, this reorganized Blood War Legion finally had a look.

"Soldiers, news has come from the Wild Forest, the beast tide has started again!" Cao Ming's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, "General Zhengxi ordered that the Blood Battle Legion immediately enter the Wild Forest to protect the mountain people from retreating and resist the beast tide." ”

Although the beast tide has been rumored for a long time, when this moment really came, the soldiers of the Blood Battle Legion were still a little panicked. Most of these soldiers had experienced the beast tide seven years ago, and knew the horror of the beast tide, thinking of the fierce beasts that spread all over the mountains and fields at the beginning, as well as the comrades who fell under the claws of the fierce beasts, many of them showed fear on their faces.

"Military orders are like mountains!" Cao Ming felt the emotions of the soldiers, and shouted loudly, "It is the duty of my Northwest Legion to defend the Weeping Blood City and resist the beast tide! This time, since the general of the expedition to the west, 23 elite legions have entered the wild forest, and they will not obey the military order and retreat to the latter without authorization, and there will be no mercy!"

After the school was assembled, the officers, including Zhou Tianci, were summoned separately by Cao Ming.

"There is something strange about the beast tide this time, everyone should be prepared. Cao Ming's words were not much, but they pressed on the bottom of people's hearts like stones, "The Blood War Legion will not be rebuilt soon, you must master your soldiers, if there is a problem, I will only ask you!"

"Yes, Lord. ”

Cao Ming's tone softened a little: "The military stipulates that if there is a penalty, there will be a meritorious reward, and everyone can make great contributions in resisting the beast tide, I will ask the commander to grant him the third-floor pass token of the Martial God Building." ”

Cao Ming's promise immediately dispelled everyone's previous fear of the beast tide, and even Zhou Tianci looked at him happily. There are 5 captains here, 25 captains, and their cultivation is all in the late stage of the day after tomorrow, including Zhou Tianci, 12 people have reached the peak of the day after tomorrow, and for them, the attraction of the third floor of the Martial God Building is too great.

"If I can ascend to the third layer, maybe I will be able to spy on the innate secret and advance to the innate level!" many people thought to themselves.

Zhou Tianci also calculated in his heart: "After cultivating the Netherworld Law Eye, I am more proficient in the use of the Yuan Shen, even if there is no guidance from others, at most three months, I will be able to condense the true qi in the meridians, so as to step into the innate nature." However, I don't know anything about the path after birth, and this is a big problem. If you can take a look at the collection on the third floor of the Martial God Building, you will definitely be able to take a lot of detours!"

Zhou Tianci's enthusiasm was mobilized by Cao Ming, and in the afternoon of the same day, the Blood Battle Legion entered the wild forest under the leadership of Liu Yuntao along with 22 other legions.

The area of the wild forest is extremely large, and I don't know how many strange things and treasures are bred in it. It is one of the most mysterious places in the world, and for humans, the Savage Forest is both a treasure trove and a forbidden place. Since the dawn of mankind, no one has ever been able to say how big a wild forest is and how many things are inside.

The Savage Forest to the south of Weeping Blood City was only a very small part of the entire Savage Forest, not even one ten-thousandth. Even so, the vastness of this forest is staggering.
