Not a Witch

In the mountains at dusk.

At this time, it was already daylight, and after a day and a night of high-speed marching, these Xiyouzhou frontier troops climbed over the undulating mountains and came to the depths of the Ximu Mountains.

Compared with the outside world, the soil here contains a strong Nine Nether Qi, which is not suitable for animals and plants to survive. Although they enter this place to fight, they can't stay for long, and strive for a quick victory.And Tu Haoyang also knew in his heart that many old enemies in the court were staring at him now, and as time dragged on, various accidents must have happened.

Therefore, for this reason, he took all his own troops out of the state city, and dispatched the few red-blooded dragonriders he could command to the valley. real situation.

Along the way, although the straight-line distance is not long, the terrain is difficult and there are various monsters entrenched invading, so they have to stop fighting every time.

Fortunately, the visiting envoy of Marigold Xuanhua Mansion used the secret technique of dragon veins, so that the army always traveled with the wind, saving a lot of effort and not being too tired.

After slashing and killing all the way, they are now finally approaching their destination, but at this time the frontier soldiers finally encountered a group of monsters in the evening mountains.

When the Ziyou clan moved all their people to the vicinity of the valley, other places were barren and uninhabited.For these monsters who came out of the underground gaps, they naturally couldn't find food around them.And in the end, slowly following those few auras and soul perceptions, they also gradually gathered near this deep valley.

There are about 3000 of them, most of them are monsters of Necronomicon Sequence 3, but there are also Sequence 5-6.

Tu Haoyang rode a horse and stood in the army, looking at the monsters restlessly entrenched on the hills and wilderness, he felt a burst of rejoicing in his heart.Fortunately, I chose to enter the evening mountains in the end. If I let these guys get away and go into the continent to make troubles, then it would be difficult to deal with.

Now it is easy to find in the wilderness, and there are no other ordinary people, but in the continent, if any monster escapes at will, you have to spend a lot of effort to hunt it down, let alone such a large number.

It is best to be able to defend yourself from the enemy.He has also undergone some changes in his previously conservative ideas.

"Let the rear trains get ready." He raised his hand and ordered.

"Yes, my lord." A military general wearing a gold and copper feather helmet cupped his fists and began to wave the flag in his hand. Immediately after, there were some changes in the rear of the army formation, and red-painted iron carts were pushed out one after another. Under the mobilization of a group of soldiers, they began to adjust the angle and direction.

It seems that the Plantagenet Dynasty has sufficient armaments, and Lorraine Hill is also riding a horse in the army at the moment, watching those fireboxes ready to go under the rapid operation of the soldiers.

Just like Luerna's mages made war machines such as airships and golems, the army of the Eastern Dynasty also had its own characteristics.Among them, the use of firearms is not less than that of the West, but the method is slightly different.

In the wilderness, seeing so many humans, those monsters were excited at first, and rushed over here and there, but these monsters were quickly taught to be human.

The frontier army of the dynasty is not comparable to the poor Youji clan. The long red lacquer shields are arranged tightly and randomly. From the front, they look like red dragon scales, extremely strong.When these bloodthirsty monsters approached, a black crossbow stretched out from behind the shield, and then aimed at these monsters.

The powerful crossbow directly penetrated some weak monsters and nailed them to death in the wilderness, and some Sequence Four monsters were inevitably seriously injured.

After such a few rounds of shooting, the only ones who can get close to the army formation are those powerful monsters with a sequence of 5-6 necromancers.

"Raise the gun!" There were several loud orders from the army, and then the crossbowmen retreated temporarily, and then a sharp long spear was set up from behind the shield. Wrapped like a hedgehog.

A few ghost snakes with human-face patterns that charged too fast directly hit the sharp spear point, and blood holes were drawn out one by one, and then the spear pierced back and forth, pulled out from the snake body, and then continued to stab in, tearing out a Dao surging pale white flesh and blood.

hiss--

After their bodies were injured, these ghost snakes were also enraged, their heads lifted up, and the patterns on both sides of their heads shone with faint light, as if they wanted to frighten and eliminate the souls of these humans.

But this is nothing more than a dying struggle.In the case of nearly [-] soldiers in the army fighting with resonance, such a degree of soul shock is just a drizzle falling on the iron plate, which cannot be shaken at all.

After the powerful monsters in front died, the guys behind also hesitated.These human beings are delicious food, but if they want to sacrifice their lives to kill them, these monsters will be a little bit deterred.They don't have any moral righteousness, and their own survival is the most important thing.

Seeing these monsters lingering in place, not daring to go forward, Tu Haoyang sneered. Sure enough, monsters are like this, unorganized, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and fearing difficulties.

"Fire arrows."

"Yes!" A flag with a red border and a gold background was raised high, and then quickly waved down, and the fireboxes behind were immediately set ablaze.

Thumb-thick arrows were lying on the firing position of the fire box car at the moment. The arrows had inscriptions engraved by Dongguan's subordinate workshop to ensure the lethality of these arrows.After the tail feathers are ignited, these arrows will advance rapidly with the help of flames and fuel, and continue to accelerate and rotate in the air, until finally they cross the sky like a streamer of fire and shoot into the enemy's formation.

Whizzing--

Successive rockets were launched from the iron carts, the scorching fire illuminated the wilderness, and then they shot into the enemy's body with high temperature and gunpowder smoke.

Some Sequence 4-5 ghost apes, nightmare tapirs, ghouls, etc. were directly penetrated by these enchanted rockets.Afterwards, the violent dragon vein energy contained in the arrow exploded immediately, causing the extraordinary core in the body to shatter, and some weak souls were directly scattered by such shooting.

Seeing that the black tortoise wearing a rock shell could not resist the piercing of these inscription rockets, and was roasted and died from the inside, Lorraine Hill also understood why the Necromancer sequence could establish the Mercury Dynasty in the Western Continent. , but there is no such reason in the Eastern Continent.

However, the dragon veins on this land gave the Dragon Sequence too many advantages, so that the Necronomicon Sequence had to bow its head.

After a stick of incense, the fire box car was launched, and there were charred and roasted demon corpses everywhere in the wilderness, with long metal arrows stuck in them, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air.

A large number of monsters died, and a small number of monsters saw that the situation was not good, and they all fled and scattered into the distance in fear.However, there are not many of these monsters, and there is no disturbance for the time being.

After the battle, no more than one hand died on the side of the frontier army, and even if they were injured, less than 20 people were injured, most of whom were accidentally injured by the rockets of the fire box car.

After the end, Tu Haoyang asked some soldiers to stay to clean the battlefield, remove those surviving monsters, and collect recyclable materials, and then continued northward with tens of thousands of troops to the deep valley dozens of miles away.

"This Tu Haoyang is willing." Bu Moyin and Lorraine Hill rode together and followed behind the main camp.

"Your Excellency Jia Lan may not know that although these fire box cars are powerful, they burn money. Generally, state herdsmen save money. This Tu Haoyang is good, and more than 30 cars are launched directly. You must know that every rocket on it is expensive. It is a silver-level creation of the inscription pattern, and after a vehicle is launched, 60 gold vessels will be released, so 2000 gold vessels will fly at once."

"The situation is urgent now, so it's not an exaggeration to waste a little bit, after all, the military expenditure is used to burn it." Lorraine Hill looked at it and shook his head slightly.

"It's you, weren't you very worried about those rich people before, why do you feel sorry for their money again?"

"Because... I have seen too many people who died for a few silver rings." Bu Moyin said with a sigh.

Although she grew up in Luojing, she has a good understanding of the living conditions in various parts of the dynasty because she travels around all the year round.Some prosperous areas are okay, but in some remote areas, many villagers have to take risks and sometimes risk their lives in order to earn a few silver rings.

"I made a rough estimate in the valley that day. Even if I bought all the goods in the valley, it would only be more than 200 gold dishes. These are the things produced by nearly 30 people in a year."

"That is to say, this rocket firework has wiped out the accumulation of the Youji clan for nearly 10 years." Bu Moyin had to sigh for such a huge gap, although she knew in her heart that Tu Haoyang's actions were not wrong. , and even quite right.

"It will get better slowly." Lorraine Hill held her hand to comfort her a little, and then the two gradually approached the valley that separated them for several days.

--------

In Yougu Shrine, Granny Ge Luo was sitting quietly in the main hall at the moment, closing her eyes and carefully sensing the condition of the dragon veins below her body.

After nearly half an hour, she slowly opened her tired eyes.

"How about it, Master Gero."

Apart from Granny Ge Luo, there was only the witch Qingling in the main hall. Seeing that Granny Ge Luo's expression was not very good, she felt a burst of worry in her heart.

Grandma Ge Luo shook her head before speaking.

"It still doesn't work. Now that the Nine Nether Nether Qi in the Ximu Mountains has exploded, the several dragon veins that were originally cleaned up are also polluted and gradually lose their sense."

"If things go on like this, without the dredging and guidance of these dragon veins, these Nine Netherworld Qi will only accumulate deeper and deeper, and I am afraid that more and more powerful demons will be bred when they fall down."

"Then there is no solution?" Qingling on the side was a little anxious.

"Perhaps it can't be done this time. If the dark energy of the entire Ximu Mountains erupts in the end, it is estimated that the troops from several nearby continents will be mobilized, and nearly five families will be united to attack them. Only then can they be wiped out slowly, and finally the seal will be placed again. , to restore the previous balance."

"Now, these broken gaps are like a hole in a paper window, and then the wind blows faster and faster, and the hole is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to close it anymore." While speaking, the elderly witch seemed to be getting old again. some.

"Lord Jialan has already persuaded Master Zhou Mu to send troops, and then the Xiangyu faction and Zhao Yegong estimated to send support. Even this can't solve the problem?" Qing Ling seemed to be looking for some comfort.

"If they can arrive in a short time, maybe they can..." Granny Ge Luo is not sure whether the current door-to-door sect is as strong as it used to be, after all, everything has changed too much.

The sun hung high in the sky, and after defeating the monsters in the wilderness, these elite frontier soldiers finally rushed out of the valley.

"Attack!"

The few monsters entrenched outside the valley retreated one after another when they saw the continuous army arriving.But now that the frontier army has arrived at the destination, there is no need to rush, and they have changed their previous laissez-faire attitude and started to send troops to hunt them down.

It was Tu Haoyang's direct descendant 'Xuanbao Cavalry' who took on this task. These cavalry soldiers in black and yellow armor, holding long halberds, wearing black and yellow cloaks on their backs, and apricot-yellow feathers on the top of their helmets, roamed recklessly in the wilderness. Chasing and killing these lonely demons.

The halberd swung down on the fast-moving horse, bringing out a stern bloody light, and directly lifted the head of a certain ghost ape and rolled it to the ground. After that, the headless corpse slowly fell down.

On the other side, a slow-running nightmare tapir was also besieged by a dozen or so "black leopard riders". The tapir collapsed from exhaustion and was cut into several pieces by the random blade.

Under such sweeping iron hooves, the wilderness outside the valley was finally cleared, and the gate of the mouth of the valley was slowly opened.

Hundreds of ghost-slaying messengers gathered at the door, separated on both sides, with long knives on their waists, standing upright.

Although the Youji clan is already extremely weak, they still want to retain the only dignity they have when they accept the rescue of the Plantagenet Dynasty.

Looking at this scene, Tu Haoyang was neither surprised nor moved. He understood the unruly self-esteem of these alien races when he governed the region in Huaxuzhou in his early years.

Sometimes as long as these customary actions do not violate the laws and rules of the dynasty, he doesn't mind pandering to them, which can eliminate many conflicts that shouldn't exist.

"Get off the horse." Coming to the gate, the state shepherd got off his horse and slowly walked into the deep and dark valley with his followers and generals.

Seeing this, the men in black who stood quietly beside him also heaved a sigh of relief.

If this state shepherd is allowed to ride proudly into this last settlement, even if they are his saviors, it will be difficult for these rich people to feel grateful.

Fortunately, everything didn't happen that way. The state shepherd maintained the softness he should have, and didn't overly irritate these wealthy people.

After entering the valley, Lorraine Hill was a little surprised when he saw the crowded faces.Unexpectedly, not long after I left, the camp outside the valley fell, and now all the Youji clan have retreated into the valley.Looking at the appearance of some of them, they seem to have experienced hard battles, and many of them were injured.

Hope to get better slowly, Lorraine Hill prayed in his heart, and then slowly climbed up the steps in front of the shrine with the state shepherd in front of him.

The valley was quiet at the moment. Although the emotions in people's hearts were somewhat complicated, most of them were still lucky to have survived the disaster.

"I've seen you, my lord." A group of dragon knights in bright armor were guarding in front of the shrine. After seeing Tu Haoyang, they stepped forward to report.

"Well, very good." Tu Haoyang nodded slightly, then raised his hand to stop the people beside him, and walked into the quiet shrine alone.

He had also heard a little bit about Granny Ge Luo, and today he wanted to find this person to understand and check the situation again.

"Excuse me." The plainly dressed state shepherd took off his shoes, stepped into the shrine, and made a slight sound as he walked on the wooden boards.

"Geluo in Ziqiu, thank you Master Zhou for your rescue." Granny Geluo bowed and saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, Maiden Gero. I'm here today to ask how to solve the matter of Ximu."

As soon as the state shepherd opened his mouth, he pointed out the purpose of this visit.He is not a good man with a lot of love, but a real utilitarian, but his utilitarian goal is more ambitious.

"This..." Although Granny Ge Luo has worked in the valley for decades, she never thought that she could solve the hidden dangers of the past thousand years in her own hands. After all, even the phoenix of five virtues did not do it things, and when she was at her strongest, she was only at the eighth level.

The scene suddenly fell silent, but fortunately, a light figure also entered the shrine through the side door.

"I'm sorry Granny Gro, there are some things I didn't tell you before." Lorraine Hill slowly came to the two of them.

Chapter 89 Broken Cave

Seeing Lorraine Hill coming in, the two people in the hall turned their heads.Tu Haoyang didn't open his mouth, but he probably guessed what had happened in his heart. It was nothing more than that the girl hadn't shown her talent in front of Ge Luo before.He didn't care about this, and waited for the girl to explain to Miko Gero in detail.

After a few sticks of incense, Granny Ge Luo also knew what had happened.For this reason, she nodded slowly and said.

"If Jialan has such ability, she can try it. But at present, the underground of Ximu Mountains is overflowing with dark energy, and there are many monsters. If you want to go deep into it, you may be in danger." She was a little worried that this girl was here. There was an accident.

"I think, Miss Geluo, you may not know what to do with this ability." Tu Haoyang shook his head slowly.

"The phoenix of five virtues in the past, Huang Fengyu, had this ability, and it was under his leadership that the hidden caves in the states of the world were opened up one by one. It shuttles between the two worlds at will, and ordinary existence cannot catch up with it. pace."

"For others, the underground is extremely dangerous at present, but for this girl, I'm afraid it's not a difficult and dangerous place. Even if you lose the enemy, you can shuttle out at any time." Tu Haoyang obviously thought differently from Ge Luo.

When Grandma Ge Luo was worried about the danger, Tu Haoyang directly thought of the various changes and benefits brought about by this natural ability.

"Maybe it's because I'm old..." Seeing that Lorraine Hill had a plan in mind, Granny Gero stopped dissuading her, but took out a stack of old yellowed paper pages from a grid behind the shrine.
