Chapter 16: The Great War Is Coming

These Wang Xiaoran's newly recruited [Taiyi Palace] preparatory disciples were uniformly arranged in a military camp allocated by Qiao Yu, and because of the battle with the Shui Clan army, the Mirage City army was reduced by nearly a thousand, and this military camp was empty, and it happened to become a temporary station.

Wang Xiaoran and Qiao You all lived here, arranging the cultivation of these new disciples every day, and it was not until a few days later that they gradually got on the right track.

On the other hand, Li Canghai used the jade slip to pass on the book, saying that he had found a large island in the southeast sea area under the guidance of Shennong, named [Xiaoyao Island], with sufficient aura and rich resources.

She, Tong Piaoyun, and Qiao Feng have already begun to clean up the fourteen main peaks in the center of the island, and at the same time drive the three alien races on the island to build, and it will take about half a year to settle in.

Here, Wang Xiaoran took out a lot of gold and silver to build a big ship in Mirage City, preparing to go to [Xiaoyao Island].

The time for cultivation always flies very quickly, and in an instant, it is August 16th.

August is the scimitar festival of the great wilderness. This day is the time for all the warriors in the Great Wilderness to fight the beasts and prove their courage and ability.

Especially for the young men of the Great Wilderness, this is also a carnival ceremony for entering adulthood. Every year, this day is a grand festival second only to the Spring Festival.

Before noon in August, everyone had to pull the hunted beasts to the square in the center of the city, where the elders would judge and determine the most ferocious and difficult beasts. The owner who hunted it will also be given a crescent scimitar and be rated as the scimitar warrior of the year.

The scimitar warriors of the Mirage City over the years have become the humerus characters of today. For example, Duan Yukai once fought and killed the giant winged tiger fish, and Song Yizhi once captured the nine-section dragon alive.

At this time of year, all the teenagers are eager to try and dream of becoming famous. But there are always many teenagers who die in the belly of the beast because of this. Growth needs to be proven with blood and courage.

Seeing that there are only three days left before the Scimitar Festival, the families put up lights and prepare for the celebration. The warriors of the city went out to sea or landed in the wilderness in search of the most ferocious beasts.

Even Duan Yukai couldn't help but compete with the young man's youthful pride, and quietly drove the boat towards the East China Sea. Only Song Yizhi and the others hesitated again and again and stayed to guard the Mirage City.

On the 14th, someone saw the Cloud Splitting Dragon in the East China Sea a few months ago, and when the news came, the city shook when it landed, and many people went out to sea in half a day to subdue it. Tuoba Ye and the other young people were even more itchy when they heard this, but they could only cry out in vain.

Because, Wang Xiaoran ordered them not to go to sea, but to stay in the camp and practice hard to prepare for the trip to Xiaoyao Island in a month.

At the same time, Wang Xiaoran and Ke Hanhuai are mysterious, going out early and returning late every day, and they don't know what they are doing. Even Xian Xian couldn't find the two of them a lot of the time, so she could only take Tuoba Ye and the others to get angry.

August 15 was the high tide of the month, the tide was turbulent, and it had already overflowed the coral forest, and only the reef under the south wall of Jixian Garden was still high above the waves.

The waves are surging, and the layers of swells will come up, crashing on the reef, with a loud bang, slapping the waves more than two feet high, and falling like dense rain. The waves roared and the wind howled. The waves rushed on the dark sea, as if the entire sea level was constantly swaying and tilting. The night sky was full of dark clouds, and only the full moon shuttled through the surging clouds.

In the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was solemn, and dozens of floating corpses were placed in the courtyard, which were the warriors who went out to sea to hunt sea beasts in Mirage City.

Including Tuoba Ye, Ke Hanhuai and Wang Xiaoran, as well as representatives of the city's high-level and rangers, all gathered here.

Tuoba ambition had a faint sense of ominousness in his heart, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something, but his thoughts were chaotic and he couldn't clear it out.

Suddenly, Duan Yukai said in a low voice: "Look at them, they don't even blink their eyes, are they unjust and angry when they die?"

Tuoba Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and many questions were clear in an instant, and he blurted out: "Water Demon! It must be a Water Demon!"

Everyone was shocked, Duan Yukai's eyes flashed, and his face changed greatly: "Yes! It must be the trick of the water demon!"

Ke Hanhuai sighed, and said to everyone with a solemn expression: "It is indeed the Shui Tribe's army, this time the Shui Bo Tianwu of Chaoyang Valley has joined forces with other forces of the Shui Tribe, preparing to kill the Mirage City, and the news of the feathering of the God Emperor has been known to them, and there is a traitor among us." ”

Everyone was immediately furious, only Qiao Yu was expressionless, and then suddenly made a move, and immediately restrained Song Yizhi next to him.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Qiao Yu said coldly, "What else do you have to say?"

Song Yizhi's face was like ashes, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Qiao, I really have a last resort, I'm really sorry for you." ”

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I'm sorry for me? What you're sorry for are the hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters in Mirage City! If you want Qiao's life, you say it, what does it matter if Qiao cuts off your head to you? But why do you affect the people in the city?"

Song Yizhi was speechless, his face was ashamed.

Duan Yukai also said with a pale face: "Song Lao Liu, why?" It was unbelievable that a brother who had been in more than ten years would betray everyone.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Qiao Yu Huo Ran said loudly: "The Water Demon is going to attack Mirage City!" After the news of the death of the God Emperor was known to them, they did not give up, and the withdrawal of troops that day was just a delaying tactic, so we should relax our vigilance." I want to take advantage of the warriors in the city to look for fierce beasts everywhere in the past few days, prepare for the scimitar festival, and attack on a large scale when the troops on the island are empty!"

Duan Yukai said with a pale face: "Yes, they must have been ambushed at sea, as long as one of us goes out to sea, we will attack more and use magic to snipe." ”

Qiao Yu said again: "In the past few days, Ke Daxia and Brother Wang have been investigating the movements at sea, and in the evening, they have discovered the water demon to encircle the mirage city, and dispatched a full 100,000 troops and hundreds of warships. Tonight is the night of the full moon again, and the tide is rising. The walls of Mirage City happened to be much shorter for them, and they were easier to breach. ”

Duan Yukai suddenly shouted: "The northern city wall was once destroyed by a tsunami, and the city wall is only one zhang from the sea during the high tide! Everyone looked at each other and gasped.

Qiao Yu nodded and said, "You are right, the north is where the main force of the water demon is located, and there are 30,000 elites." But fortunately, the hero of science and technology had expected it, and we also made corresponding preparations. For this reason, we did not even dare to inform the warriors who went out, for fear that they would be killed by surprise. This kind of sin, Qiao Yu is willing to bear it with all his might. ”

"Mirage City can't be saved, we can only evacuate. Later, everyone who wants to leave will leave with Brother Wang, and the rest will stay with me to block the enemy army. Qiao Yu obviously had a will to die.

"I'll stay!"

"Me too!"

......

Qiao Yu's charm is still very high, and there is only Song Yizhi, a scumbag in Mirage City, and the others are all hot-blooded men and heroes.

Ke Hanhuai also stayed, but with his strength, although it was a little dangerous, he was still able to get out.

Wang Xiaoran took the disciples of the [Taiyi Palace] to maintain order, and then arranged for more than 100,000 residents in the city to board the ship, preparing to break through along the weakest south.

As for the 20,000 troops, basically except for the 3,000 navy who is responsible for escorting ordinary people, all the rest are left to buy time for everyone. There are even 30,000 residents left, ready to live and die with Mirage, because this is the only root of these five outcasts.

Today is high tide, and the tide rushes from the sea to the land to the east. But fortunately, a northeast to southeast current passed next to Mirage City, allowing the fleet to sail down the water.

In addition, the wind direction blows from the land to the sea at night, so it is naturally quite a good wind.

Wang Xiaoran took out the white jade flute again and played [Ancestral Dragon Yin]. Dense sea beasts floated up from the bottom of the sea, I am afraid that there are not two or three hundred thousand, which is exactly where Wang Xiaoran dares to attack the 30,000 ordinary city defense army-level troops in the south of the water tribe.

The dragon is the leader of the scale armor aquarium, and its ability to control sea beasts is far above that of land beasts.
