Chapter 57: Fate

Just south of the tower fort, next to the edge of the dense forest of the camp.

Four thousand soldiers surrounded Liu Li, who stood on a two-meter-high rock.

His gaze looked through the leaves that created gaps in the moonlight's shadows.

He looked up at the bright moon in the scattered moonlight.

The lonely expression on the old face revealed compassion and sorrow.

"Has the military advisor made up his mind to hold on?"

"Your Lord, after I have passed on the military order according to your instructions, the military advisor has indeed decided to hold on to the tower fort. ”

Hearing this, Liu Li lowered his head, and his sad face revealed a trace of self-deprecation.

"The military advisor didn't fail me. Liu Li sighed, turned to face the herald who was kneeling on one knee, and his eyes showed remorse.

"If the military advisor had led the troops, instead of Liu Heng's childishness, maybe there would not have been such a dilemma. ”

After speaking, Liu Li pulled out the saber at his waist, walked down the rock, and walked past the herald.

Liu Li walked to the edge of the dense forest.

Just in front of Liu Li, on the outskirts not far from the dense forest, a continuous barracks were built.

On the tower fort not far from the camp, Chen Fu's soldiers were standing.

"If there is an accident in the military advisor, under the nine springs, Liu Li will be his companion. ”

The soldiers who gave orders back and forth between the two places were in tears and bowed to the ground.

"Subordinate, I am willing to swear to die!"

In the moonlight, the mist rises in the forest.

Surrounded by mist, four thousand soldiers fell to their knees.

knelt behind Liu Li.

During the one-day siege, the army of 100,000 people lost more than 10,000 people.

plus Liu Li's surprise attack not long ago.

Of the 100,000 troops, nearly four have been lost, but the elite of each unit is still there.

The calm night passed slowly in time that seemed to stand still.

Until, the morning sun rises from behind the mountain, and the bright sun brightens the night.

The light reminds everyone that the dawn is coming.

Root, who was lying on the dead grass, felt the coldness coming from his forehead.

He opened his eyes.

What caught my eye were a few anxious faces.

A ray of brilliant sunlight shone through the gap between his face, shining on Yougen's forehead and into Yougen's heart.

Let Yougen feel a burst of warmth rise in his heart.

"Uh......"

Yougen lifted his left hand with difficulty, and there was a sharp pain in his charred shoulder.

Yougen grinned in pain, and the tangled muscles on his face twitched, and there was another sharp pain.

Tears welled up in Arigen's eyes, but just as he was about to withdraw his newly raised left hand.

Shi Nao was one step ahead of him, and he was very understanding and took Yougen's left hand into his hand.

"Brother Yougen, how are you?"

The emotional Shi Nao held the rooted left hand, and his face was heartbroken.

The naphthalm kneels to the right of Yougen, and Yougen raises his left hand.

Although the naphtha leaned forward.

But the slight pull caused still made Yougen painful.

Tears slipped from Arigen's eyes, and a painful expression appeared on his charred face.

The naphtha was unaware of it, and shook his rooted left hand to himself.

"Brother Yougen, we are all listening. ”

In the severe pain, it was really unbearable, and he twisted his neck with difficulty and shook his head gently.

He wanted to stop the naphtha from being so akin to murder.

The subtle shaking movement was discovered by the naphthalm, and Yougen watched with relief as the naphthalmine released his left hand.

But soon, Yougen, who thought he had escaped, found out that he was wrong.

"Brother Yougen must be thirsty, scoop a bowl of water!"

Stonebrain roared as he stretched out his hands towards Arigen's head.

He lifted Yougen up.

Several more cracks appeared on the charred and crisp skin of the abdomen.

So, even under the baptism of vitality, he has a body that can resist the demon clan, but the pain nerves are still the same as ordinary people, and he can only faint again.

In the east of Caoyun County, carrying a long sword with a sword hilt inlaid with precious stones, the surface was as calm as a quiet lake, and there were blood troughs on both sides, Yu Ruo, with a solemn face, climbed the city ladder and came to the tower fort.

Yu Ruo walked across the platform and walked towards the corridor that extended into the tower fort.

Along the way, all the soldiers respectfully took off their hats and helmets, bowed their heads and moved to the side respectfully.

Yu Ruo came to the road.

He walked over to the stacked boulders.

Taking a deep breath in front of the boulder, he lifted the sword in his hand and gestured at the boulder in front of him.

A hundred-pound boulder, stacked on top of each other.

Each piece takes up a lot of space.

The overlapping boulders, under the mutual pressure of a hundred catties, almost stuck together.

After a few strokes, it seemed that he didn't find a place to start, Yu Ruo frowned and sighed.

Then, he swung his sword.

The sword was inserted not into the hard-to-find gap between the stones, but into a rock.

A simple blue light slid out of Yu Ruo's hand and swept over the condensed sword body.

Yu Ruo gritted his teeth, puffed out his cheeks, and strained his hands.

The hard rock seems to turn into soft tofu.

The long sword that slashed into the rock quickly slid through the rock as if it had not encountered any resistance.

On the trajectory of the slide, a coherent crack was left.

Cracks gradually covered the stone.

Yu Ruo drew his sword and slapped it towards the rock.

That palm was unremarkable, without the slightest use of vitality.

That palm slapped on the rock.

The rocks were crumbled into fines.

Yu Ruochang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with satisfaction, and raised his sword again.

The corridor is narrow, and there are not many boulders piled up on the same side.

The army sent by Whitewater County was 32,000 people, but only two people were able to draw qi into the body.

Therefore, the cautious Yu Ruo did not choose the gate with high stacks of boulders, but chose the narrow corridor.

For Yu Ruo, this choice is the right one.

Four hours later, a 10-meter-long layer of thumb-thick stone and sand was laid on the ground in the corridor.

Yu Ruo stepped on the stone and sand, and the sword in his hand kept stabbing forward.

The sword was silent, the fine sand fell silently, and the soldiers who were guarding behind Yu Ruo, holding weapons in their hands, were engrossed, and they were also silent when they stepped on the thick stone sand.

After smashing several boulders again, Yu Ruo stopped.

Stretching out his left hand, Yu Ruo bent his index finger and knocked the boulder in front of him with the back of his joint.

Several cracks appeared in the stone face.

The cracks are fine and almost undetectable.

But from the crack, there was an empty sound.

The sound is so small that it is almost inaudible.

After listening attentively for a while, Yu Ruo smiled.

Then, Yu Ruo quickly put down his long sword and stretched out his hands towards the boulder in front of him, and the palms of both hands hit the gray-blue stone surface.

In the palm of his hand, there is a cyan glow.

"Knock!"

Two crashing sounds, similar to those between blunt objects, rang out simultaneously from the tunnel separated by rocks.

The stacked rocks trembled at the crashing sound.

The jitter was transmitted to the corridor.

It spread to the entire tower fort.

It was passed outside the tower.

Sitting on a folded sheep mat, wearing a blue silk dress painted with silver stripes, Chen Fu, with his hair scattered, frowned and looked at the porcelain bowl in his hand.

In a porcelain bowl with a red strip glaze painted on milky white, water is filled.

At this moment, the water surface in the bowl is undulating, and there are countless ripples.
