Wolf King

Chapter 285 Unquenchable Fire

The Grand Canyon, which starts near the Snake Vine Valley and ends at the mouth of the sea, has a total length of more than [-] kilometers. It is a natural flood discharge channel. It is precisely because of the existence of this canyon that appeared due to changes in the earth’s crust tens of thousands of years ago that it was flooded last year. At that time, the flood destroyed the sugar beet planting base located near the Snake Vine Valley, and then flowed obediently along the canyon into the sea, without endangering the snakes below.

However, this Grand Canyon cannot be used as a regular canal because the direction of the canyon is too painful, and the terrain on both sides of the canyon is too complicated... Some areas are able to divert water for irrigation. I really want to use this Grand Canyon in place and thoroughly Transformation, unless the industrial capacity of the Huoyan Ministry reaches the level of a modern country, that is, the level of steel production that is qualified to be calculated in tons. (The golden decade of the Republic of China boasted by the pheasant master, the steel output is only a few thousand tons, and this output can only be achieved by inheriting the legacy of the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty)

The head of the Ali clan chose the section of "Battlefield", which is a section with relatively stable terrain and a relatively wide riverbed in the valley. In autumn and winter, the water level drops, and a large area of ​​the riverbed is exposed to connect with the riverbank in the valley. The width of one side can reach 70 to 600 meters. The relatively straight section of the river is about [-] meters long.

The width of the ground cannot be said to be too narrow, but it is definitely not spacious and open, and piles of wooden boxes and bulging sacks are piled up here and there... If two groups of gangsters rushed inside to fight, there would be enough space. The two armies rushed inside to fight, unless one of the commanders on both sides was out of their minds.

But if the side rushing in is hungry and green-eyed, there are a lot of bean wheat scattered around the wooden boxes that are in the way and the sack mountain, and the people who are busy in the valley are all old people and children of the snake clan doing odd jobs. The stranger screamed and fled to the depths of the canyon in horror—under such circumstances, it is very difficult to ask the black bear scouts to "alarm in their hearts", fear of fraud, and rush out...

At the critical moment, the scout captain still maintained his professionalism and shouted loudly: "Don't worry about the food, catch them!"

The black bear scouts had already rushed to the side of Gunny Bag Mountain. Hearing this, they quickly turned and chased after the frantically fleeing snake family members.

Boxes, sacks, overturned carts, kicked wheat, jars filled with water and other debris all over the floor slightly hindered the footsteps of the Black Bear scouts. Deep, the black bear scouts really couldn't catch those bastards who were screaming and making noise for a while.

After chasing a little deeper, the scout captain felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped his own people - at the corner of the canyon a few hundred meters ahead, hundreds of adult snakes rushed out, wielding hoes, sickles, pitchforks, etc. The thing rushes over here!

"Get out!"

"Don't touch our food!"

The scout team in charge of exploring the road ahead has only ten people. Although the bears have their own force, the opponent is also a combat-capable orc, and the number is more than ten times their number. run away.

The Snake & Snow Wolf warriors lurking in the dark silently watched the group of black bears hula-la running over, and then hula-la running over.

2 minute later.

"The valley where the snake tribe hides food? Hahaha! Lady Luck is indeed on our side!"

Hearing the news brought back by the scouts, General Black Bear laughed happily.The emperor asked to capture the leaders of the grassland tribes. He was still confused about how to select important people from the crowd.Now that the problem is all solved, grab all the food from the snake tribe, and ask them to exchange the leader for food for the tribe to survive the winter. Can these guys still fight to keep the leader without food?

Another 2 minutes later, groups of black bear fighters scrambled into the valley like wolves and tigers...

The adult snake clan who drove off the scouting team before was nervously trying to carry food. When they saw so many enemies rushing in, they all showed despair and fled to the depths of the canyon again...

Someone is running away in front of me, and my side still has an absolute advantage in force, no matter who they are, they have to subconsciously catch up, right?So the first batch of black bear warriors who rushed into the canyon rushed towards the adult snake tribe without saying a word...

Chasing in front and chasing behind, nearly 5 black bears rushed into the canyon in less than [-] minutes.

The river bank on the side of the valley is not particularly spacious, but it is long enough. It is not too crowded when two or three thousand people rush in. Many people spread out to pick up the piles of wooden boxes and sacks, and opened them casually. When I came to the sealed box, I saw a box full of beans, and they all smiled...

The moment the last black bear warrior entered the canyon, a sneaky head with a vine camouflage hat appeared at the entrance of the cracked mountain wall.

This head...is still the head of the human race.

The owner of the head, Sal, participated in this operation as a representative of the workers of the monosodium glutamate factory. His task was to detonate the engineering explosive tube buried at the entrance and block the enemy's retreat.

The natural rock barrier of the canyon is too thick, and the medicine pipe is buried relatively deep, close to the inner side of the canyon (the mountain wall in the canyon is smooth and not high enough, only more than ten meters, and the flaws can be seen with the naked eye, so it is not suitable for digging the buried pipe). The lead wire can only be pulled to the outer mountain wall, and it needs to be ignited nearby and then quickly evacuated; originally this task was assigned to a snake warrior, but Thrall volunteered to take it... The snake warrior can be used as a combat force to fight in the valley, but he did not That combat ability, lighting a fire or something can be done.

He took out the match made by the Fire Department, struck it on his pants, and lit it. After the fuse was burned, Sal grabbed the vine rope hidden in the vines and slid down, counting down nervously "ten, nine, eight... "

Sal, who was raised by the Snow Werewolf in the Huoyan Department for several years, and worked in the MSG factory for several years, was able to eat his fill and quickly gain weight in middle age, with a big belly.But after all, he has to work, especially after he was able to return to his hometown, he brought his relatives and friends to work in the monosodium glutamate factory. A lot stronger.

In two seconds, he slid down a solid rock wall more than ten meters high, threw off the rattan rope and ran away. When he counted down to "two", Thrall threw himself forward with all his strength, covered his ears tightly with his hands, and opened his mouth wide.

Hmm... This set of movements was naturally taught by the person in charge of detonating the engineering team...

Thrall, who counted a little faster silently under tension, did not hear the explosion when he counted down to the end. He froze for a moment, and was about to turn around when a muffled "Boom!" came to his ears .

In the canyon, General Black Bear was happily inspecting the sacks containing wheat, when there was a sudden explosion that shook his brain, and the ground shook accordingly. on the sack.

"?!" General Black Bear opened his mouth wide and found that he couldn't make a sound. He raised his arms and looked around in surprise, and found that the soldiers around him were also staggering.

General Black Bear started yelling vigorously, but he couldn't hear what he was yelling because his hearing was temporarily damaged by the explosion sound wave; he struggled to get up and looked towards the entrance of the canyon with a look of horror on his face. The entrance to the parallel carriages has disappeared, buried in broken stones!

What was even more tragic was that there was a pile of sacks piled up near the entrance of the valley, and a group of black bear fighters surrounded them to unpack the bags, but now the group of soldiers disappeared...

A little farther away from the Taniguchi there were more than a dozen people standing upright. Some of them were crushed by the collapsed rocks and could not see life.

"Did you fall into the trap?!" General Black Bear had this idea in his drowsy and painful mind, and he quickly turned his head to look in the depths of the canyon, where his soldiers were chasing.

General Black Bear, who calmed down the fastest, was the first to discover a cruel fact... Looking through the swaying crowd, he saw a snake tribe appearing from behind the rocks in the slightly inclined river bed, and took out an arm-long, Thick tubes, tossed towards the pile of sacks around the bend in the canyon.

With a "huh", the pile of sacks that were peacefully blocking the small half of the road began to burn crazily...

"—Leave, leave those sacks!" The black bear general who had injured his eardrums was terrified and shouted vigorously. Unfortunately, he was not the only one whose hearing was temporarily affected by the sound waves of the explosion. Many bear warriors who had just stood up just looked around blankly, or They ran around like headless chickens, not aware of the approaching crisis.

More Snakes appeared from various hiding places on the riverbed—the Snakes are originally a race that is extremely good at camouflaging and ambush to hide their whereabouts, and the Bears didn’t enter the valley for a long time, so they didn’t find them at all—they took out their The Bear Clan looked weird and didn't see any dangerous tubes, and threw them at piles of wooden boxes or sacks nearby.

The snake tribe who finished the throwing work slipped into the relatively shallow and relatively gentle river water in autumn and winter one by one...

Countless panic and screams erupted from the burning valley in an instant. People with hearing loss do not know how to control the volume. Ghosts and wolves howled endlessly, making the snow werewolves ambush on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon grin their teeth one by one, and hurriedly used them to block them. Ear cotton balls stuffed into ears.

The Bear Clan is not disgusted by the Goddess of Magic like the Snow Wolf Clan. Although the Bear Clan is disdainful to be a full-time spellcaster, some Bear Clan warriors can use magic; With ears closed and one hand pointing at the pile of burning sacks, he made a spell-casting gesture, and a strong wind was summoned, whistling and sweeping away.

The fire... is completely unaffected.

"??" The bear clan sergeant, who knew wind magic, widened his eyes.

Several Ursa sergeants also cast magic, or mobilized the river water, or rolled up the sand on the river bed, trying to extinguish the buried fire.

The intensity of the fire...is still very strong, even if it will be slightly reduced when it is drenched by the river water, it is still alive and well.

On the side of the rock wall, Ah Tian, ​​who was lying in ambush with his partner, sneered mockingly: "Hey, even professional spellcasters can't extinguish the fire, I don't believe you can!"

Others don't know what the tubular object thrown by the snake tribe is, but Ah Tian knows it very well - he is a man who has been squatting on the construction site of the Grand Canal for more than a year!

The magic ore powder combustion tube proposed by A Yunchu and developed by Mr. Xiao En is an inextinguishable fire that cannot be extinguished even if it is smashed with ice cubes!

Hmm... this so-called "inextinguishable fire" is actually thermite...

There are not many descriptions about dangerous goods involved. In short, what is contained in the pipe is actually a mixed compound of ferric oxide powder, which is assisted by an oxidant to form alumina and simple iron. During the thermal reaction, a high temperature of up to 3000 degrees can be released. It can burn you through - this dangerous thing is still a self-supplied oxidizer to support the combustion, unless the oxidizer in the tube is used up, it can't be extinguished~!The great magician put up a space cover and put it on to isolate the oxygen!

Among the casters of "J", the magicians of the fire department stopped their pursuit of big fireballs, super big fireballs, super natural disasters and big fireball meteor showers after using "Inextinguishable Fire", and fell in love with mathematics, physics and chemistry one after another!

The bear troops who could not put out the fire were in complete chaos. Some rushed to the river, and some tried to climb the steep and smooth rock wall.

It was time for the Snake & Snow Wolf warriors to perform. The Snake warriors who had already swam to the other side and the Snow Wolf warriors who were squatting on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon appeared one after another. Just pick up the crossbow - the latter is also not very technical, and the snake warriors can be made by hand, and it will be easier to build a batch in the Qiuling New District.

The black bear fighters who were in the water or trying to climb became targets one after another, and the non-commissioned officers who knew how to use magic couldn’t please them; one non-commissioned officer just lifted himself up into the sky with the wind, but Xiaohua left her and didn’t like to play Two hand crossbows, two torn clothes turned into big wolves, jumped down from the top of the rock wall roaring, bit the bear sergeant who was trying to cast a spell in mid-air, and dragged him into the river together...

"Why are you so impatient?" Ah Tian muttered dumbfoundedly, put down his longbow, went around to an area with less burning objects and jumped down to support his partner.

After a wave of bombing, burning, and enjoying the shower of arrows, the bear troops turned into headless flies with no regulations at all in just ten minutes. There were no soldiers; the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Clan saw that Xiao Hua and A Tian had gone down, so they jumped down one after another...

In the depths of the canyon, the group of bear warriors rushing to the front also realized that something was wrong after hearing the shock coming from behind. The sergeant who led the charge hurriedly told the soldiers to back off. As a result...they hadn't had time to join the large army , their retreat was blocked by the raging fire that filled the entire bend...

Helpless, the non-commissioned officer who took the lead in the charge could only lead several hundred of the most combative people to continue charging into the depths of the canyon, trying to catch the Snake people first, and then...they bumped into twenty pairs of snow wolves The wolf cavalry brigade composed of clan companions.

On the slender river bank road, what is the concept of the infantry facing the wolf cavalry brigade charging in formation?It's the concept of being covered in a bear's face by wolf's paws...

The people in front were either caught in the wolf's mouth and thrown into the sky, or their faces were smashed to the ground by the wolf's paws, or they were pierced by the snow werewolf warriors on the wolf's back with spears, and the people behind could not retreat. Roaring wildly, some jumped into the river without hesitation.

The bear clan is a race that can adapt to any battlefield, but no matter how adaptable it is, it is impossible for a bear that has gone down the river to be flexible enough to avoid the crossbow that the snow wolf clan on the bank is holding steadily...

The resistance only lasted about half an hour. After most of the black bear fighters and even the non-commissioned officers were brought down or captured, the rest of the bear fighters were tired, hungry, frightened and frightened. ", one by one squatting down obediently.

The battlefield ahead controlled the situation, and Xiaohua, who was playing happily, let out a wolf howl. Not long after, a large number of snakes squatting in the depths of the canyon rushed out to help with medicine boxes, thick ropes, shovels, buckets and other tools. Clean up the battlefield.

Clean up the fuel piles disguised as grain piles and extinguish the remaining sparks; carefully bundle the surrendered enemies into zongzi one by one, and bundle the wounded who did not surrender or are unable to surrender into zongzi; count the number of people in your family and treat the injured , count the number of captives...

After surviving in a hurry, when the Grand Canyon returned to calm, the moon had already climbed high.

After finishing the post-war statistics with great difficulty, the members of the Southern District Headquarters and the officers of the warrior team who participated in the battle had a meeting around the bonfire. The grassroots patriarch took out his own wounded list, and his face was a little green after only one glance: "Snake warrior wounded 16 People, all of them were injured by rushing into the river and scuffling with the enemy—Harris, what's the matter with you? Didn't everyone say that the enemy who went down the river should consume their energy before capturing them?"

Harris hung his head and dared not make a sound, and his arm was also bandaged. This guy himself was one of the wounded who rushed into the water to beat someone... He was bitten on his arm by a mad black bear full of arrows.

"Two snow wolf warriors were wounded, one jumped down and sprained his ankle, and the other was too excited to rush into the unburned fuel dump?!" blue veins.

Xiaohua put her hands together on her lap, her eyes fixed on her knees, and she knelt and sat very upright...

Ah Tian looked sad: "I was too eager at the time and didn't take good care of everyone. I'm sorry for the grassroots patriarch. It's all my fault."

"...Is the burn injured serious?" The grassroots patriarch also got angry with them.

"Hmm... It's just that the hair was roasted, and the nose was burnt." A Tiandan was in pain, the weakness of the snow werewolf is the nose, and the most burnt place is to scald and lose some hair, but that guy is angry. Fire, who to reason with?

The grassroots patriarch was also very distressed, silently putting aside his own casualty statistics, and picked up the enemy casualty statistics that would make everyone happy.

"There are 320 complete or relatively complete corpses, 160 and 580 seriously wounded, 490 and [-] lightly wounded, and a total of [-] and [-] captives..." The grassroots patriarch couldn't help but want to laugh halfway through reading, the corners of his mouth curled up It took me halfway to realize that I had to hold back, and forced my mouth into a straight line, "Well, it's okay, enough prisoners have been captured, it's worthy of our hard preparations during this period."

The grassroots patriarch forcibly calmed down, and others didn't care about it. Including Patriarch Ali, Snake Clan Elder Greg, Gusta and other members of the Southern District Command, all of them smiled frankly.

Gusta, the elder of the python tribe, said quite venomous words with a joyful face: "It would take too much medicine to treat so many seriously wounded people, why not kill them, the alchemy potion is quite expensive, so it would be better to keep it for your own people."

Harris, the warrior captain of the Snake Clan, immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's meaningless to save the kind of missing arms and legs, even if it's exchanged with the Beast Emperor, he won't be willing to pay for a useless warrior." What a price."

The grassroots patriarch shook his head straight after hearing this: "You guys, that's not how the account is calculated. It's not about the value of rescuing more than 100 seriously wounded people, but rescuing these seriously wounded people is a kind of value in itself."

Elder Gusta obviously didn't agree with this statement. It wasn't that he didn't have enough brains, but that the historical hatred between the snake clan and the black bear clan was there... But he didn't think he could convince the grassroots patriarch, so he turned his attention to the elder Greg.

Great Elder Greg's thoughts are much more ruthless than Gusta's, he wished that all black bear captives would be executed...

It's a pity that the snake tribe is only a part of the grassland tribe. The will of the snake tribe does not represent the will of all the grassland tribes. If this battle is not for the multi-ethnic and multi-party efforts, if the snake tribe only relies on the snake tribe itself, it will definitely be forced by this army of nearly 3000 black bears. The Snake Division couldn't be kept... Elder Greg, who was always sober, would not be confused at this time, ignoring Gusta's expectant eyes, and calmly waited for the words of the grassroots patriarch.

The grassroots patriarch can understand the snake clan's hatred for the black bear clan, and she herself is the same. If Ayun hadn't talked to her in depth at the beginning, she would not have been able to accept the tiger clan so easily... Ah Yi, Amo and their incomplete Body, every time the grassroots patriarch sees it, he will feel uncomfortable for several days!

This time, the grassroots patriarch directly used Ayun's words to persuade her to persuade the snake tribe: "Our grassland tribe is a big family composed of many tribes. We are weak and weak when we are separated. Those powerful clans competed for survival, respect and recognition."

"So, we grassland tribes must always adhere to our survival and our fundamental principles. We are inclusive, accept diversity, and love peace. Our fists will always be used to defend our homeland and expel incoming enemies. Swing out, we will not take the initiative to attack anyone who is not hostile to us, nor does he actually do harm to us."

"The enemy who surrendered, from the moment they lay down their arms and stop being hostile to us, we should respect and protect their basic right to survival, as long as they have not caused serious damage to our grassland tribes, or the damage has not reached the level of We should not arbitrarily deprive others of their lives in accordance with the basic principle of 'killer dies, wounder punishes'."

"After all..." The grassroots patriarch paused, glanced deeply at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "If you think others are wrong, you can wantonly deprive others of their lives, and if you think others are weak, you can wantonly bully others. We have already eaten enough from others. We must not do this ourselves. We must stick to our ideas and principles. Each of us has the obligation and responsibility to create such a meaningful For such a great persistence, we can’t be willful!”

These words are a bit heavy, but they can indeed resonate with everyone sitting here...Whether it is the Snow Wolf Clan or the Snake Clan, who hasn't suffered the same loss?

The grassroots patriarch gave everyone some time to think. Seeing Elder Gusta's frown slowly loosened, as if he had accepted his own statement, he smiled and said: "These captives we captured did violate us. The subjective wishes of life safety and property safety, but they have not had time to implement it, so after they stop infringing and have no chance to infringe, we naturally need to protect their basic right to survival. Before they leave the grassland, we should provide them with The chance to work for food and shelter to get them through this winter."

"But everyone knows that it is very difficult to persuade others. It is not easy for others to accept their own ideas. It takes a long time to express and express themselves in order to gain understanding, approval and support. Then, we are willing to treat their seriously injured, guarantee Isn't their behavior of the right to live of the seriously injured the best way to convey their wishes?"
