Chapter 494 Duel in the Small World
Chapter 494 Duel in the Small World
The western border of the empire.
Tianshui City is hundreds of miles to the west.
This is the canyon closest to Tianshui City. Every summer and autumn, the river water level rises sharply. This place serves as a reservoir and is responsible for supplying water to half of Tianshui City.
On both sides of the canyon, several watchtower cities stand quietly.
In fact, looking down from the Sentinel Tower City, an elite force of 50,000 composed entirely of silver warriors was clearly visible, but the highest commanders in charge of guarding the city all chose to ignore it tacitly. Under the ban of silence, not to mention telegrams, even a flying bird could hardly leave the range of the Sentinel Tower City.
At the front of the army, the eccentric Rao led the troops forward, and beside him was the newest Sun Chaser of the generation of the Sun Chaser Fu family. Through the purification of blood through unknown means, the new Sun Chaser was slightly better than his "predecessors" in terms of talent.
Marquis Zhuri was riding on a steed. He was not very old, about thirty years old. He looked very high-spirited. He looked disdainfully at the canyon cliffs on both sides and couldn't help laughing out loud.
The strange man frowned, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and asked, "Why is the Sun-Chasing Marquis laughing?"
Zhuri Hou said with a smile, "I think the rebellion suppressor Wang Shaozhi and the Tianshui Jiedushi are not wise. If I were to use troops and ambush an army here first, what would happen? Hahaha."
The words have not yet fallen.
Heads popped up on the cliffs on both sides.
Three thousand gold-rank evil guards worked together to perform the military's universal skill, Bloody Dawn, and a super-giant field with a radius of nearly ten thousand meters suddenly emerged.
"I am the evil general serving under the Majesty."
"You will die quickly."
Ah Da recited the lines given by the Commander-in-Chief. He actually didn't quite understand the deep meaning behind them, but since they could satisfy the Commander-in-Chief's spiritual needs, the actual meaning didn't matter.
boom!
The Bloody Dawn realm exploded.
One after another, powerful fragments of the domain splashed down. A stream of light shot out from one of them, smashing the chests of more than a dozen silver warriors. The remaining force was still terrifying. If there weren't many gold-level officers among Rao's elite, these three thousand ambush troops would be enough to destroy them.
"Charge!" the weirdo roared.
Zhuri Hou looked slightly frightened and fled forward following the commander.
The elite army abandoned a large amount of baggage and weapons, and lost nearly 20,000 people. Because it was a detour attack, the army did not have void warships for long-distance and high-altitude exploration.
The defeated army marched forward in panic and did not dare to stop for a rest until they had traveled a hundred miles. This was already the back section of the canyon, and the gourd-shaped terrain acted as a valve to regulate water storage.
Among the 30,000 elite troops, many were still in fear. The enemy had dispatched at least 3,000 gold soldiers. Only by drawing out all the gold-level officers from the military units of the three provinces could such a powerful tactical force be formed.
The entire army was filled with panic and confusion.
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, the laughter started again.
Rao the weirdo turned around angrily and said, "What are you laughing at again!"
Marquis Zhuri waved his hands and laughed continuously. Although he was covered in dust and dirt, the calmness he displayed really inspired the guards on both sides.
"I laugh at the fact that the King of Suppressing Rebellion and the Jiedushi lack wisdom and strategy."
"If an army were to ambush us in this gourd field, waiting for us to tire ourselves out, and suddenly charge out to surround us, then even if our army wasn't completely wiped out, we'd inevitably suffer heavy casualties, hahahaha."
"Kill!"
"Glory to the Maharaja!"
"I am the evil general under the Lord's command. You will never be able to escape."
The laughter still echoes in the valley.
Three thousand evil guards suddenly appeared, no longer in disguise, and led by A Er, they once again built the Bloody Dawn territory.
Fragments of the domain fell like rain.
Rao's weirdo turned pale and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Run!"
Marquis Zhuri's smile was stiff. He didn't care about his guards and immediately spurred his horse into a gallop.
One by one, the silver warriors died under the fragments of the domain, and their blood gathered into a stream, flowing endlessly. Several elders of the Rao clan sacrificed their lives to cover the rear and led a group of private troops to attack and encircle them.
Only half an hour.
When the weirdo Rao turned around, he felt a chill in his heart when he saw the thousands of remaining soldiers. Taking over Tianshui City was just a dream, and now even how to survive was a problem.
The defeated soldiers fled in panic, some were seriously injured and fell off their horses, but no one dared to stop.
When they reached a ray of light at the end of the canyon, Rao, a strange man, was so confused that he reined in his horse and stopped.
"Hahaha……"
Rao's weirdo: "..."
The ambush troops, are they using your laughter as a signal?
"People say that the King of Peace is a hero in troubled times, and the Tianshui Jiedushi is the pillar of the empire, but in my opinion, they are just two incompetent people."
The Sun-Chasing Marquis smiled wildly and said, "We are now exhausted and extremely tired. If you ambush an army here, we will all be captured! Hahahaha..."
Suddenly, Zhuri Hou's laughter stopped abruptly.
On the other side of the valley, Asan arrived with three thousand guards, with a handsome crow standing above his head. Douglas and Merrick stood on the left and right. On the cliffs on both sides, a thousand guards appeared, sealing the sky and locking the earth.
The defeated army burst into a fierce noise. Some of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered on the spot, while others turned around and ran, but were killed by the evil guards in the sky. Zhuri Hou lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and his face was filled with confusion and fear in shame.
The strange man of the Rao family sighed: "Brother Taoyuan, how are you?"
Dougs said nothing.
"Brother Taoyuan, do you still remember the friendship we had as brothers?" Rao's weirdo said with a hint of pleading, "I am willing to surrender, but this elite group is the last main force of the Rao family. I only ask Brother Taoyuan to show some leniency and leave some of our sparks behind."
"It doesn't matter what he says."
Above Asan's head, Wuhe flapped its wings to warn Douglas not to have any other ideas. Considering that the weirdo Rao had drawn the sword for the boss at the Hongmen Mansion Banquet, he gave the order immediately.
"Merrick, capture the weirdo and throw him out of Tianshui Province."
"Kill all the remaining soldiers."
call!
Duke Merrick stepped out. He might not be considered powerful among the heroes, but he could easily deal with any golden creature.
Six thousand evil guards came from the rear and the final siege began immediately. Wuhe had no interest in commanding. With one gold soldier on their side and one silver soldier on the other, they actually had a surplus and there was no possibility of losing at all.
Suddenly, a prompt sound rang.
[Reminder: Hunter-exclusive branch quest has been completed]
[Hint: As an animal companion, you get the epic item: Small World·Earth Phase Kun Yuan Pillar]
Wuhe blinked and immediately sent a message to someone.
"Boss, I got a pillar." "Put it all together, it should be a complete set. In addition, I have to ask you and Lao Hei to find a place with a general range and landmarks."
"Understood, leave it to me."
……
At the same time, Tianshui Fortress.
After resting, the million-strong army began to march towards Tianshui City, but for unknown reasons, the King of Salt deliberately slowed down the march and required the troops to have three meals a day.
In the large army, after the Tianshui Battle, the White Snake Division had only more than 10,000 people left, which was equivalent to the size of a streamlined brigade. It was a heavy loss, but half of the officers who had gone through the bloody battle and took the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level of life accounted for.
Jiang He rode on a gray warhorse, and he and his three animal companions formed four epic pillars.
——The four pillars, Li Ming for fire, Kun Yuan for earth, Fu Kong for wind and Xuan Ming for water, are all embedded props and all have entries for small worlds.
According to the description of the prop introduction, Jiang He embedded four pillars into the duel wall, and huge changes immediately took place.
[Name: Small World·Duel]
[Category: Space]
[Quality: Sub-Legendary]
[Effect ①: Sub-legendary level of solidity]
[Effect ②: The holder can freely set the screening conditions for entry and exit targets]
[Effect ③: Four-phase Judgment-When the corresponding higher-level creature skeleton is bound to the four-phase pillar, the quality of the duel world will be improved (Hero Peak: 0/4)]
[Effect ④: Small world - expandable and contractible, third-order world·world level, fourth-order world·continental level, fifth-order world·provincial level, the barrier of the small world can be integrated into the energy properties of the holder]
[Note: Due to the integration of the four basic elements of wind, fire, earth and water, the Immortal-level item Duel Wall has been strengthened (Sub-Legendary: Due to the huge gap between the eras of Legendary and Heroic, Sub-Legend exists as a clear segmentation standard, located above Immortal and below Legend)]
[Exclusive note for executives: The number of powers that can be generated by creatures in the legendary era is basically one. At this stage, battlefield players usually choose core main skills as the object of their efforts to change the quality. More than 99% of them fail in shaping power, which does not affect subsequent promotions in essence.]
Jiang He pondered to himself, Legend was obviously an era with huge gaps between different levels.
The "powerless" who are not qualified to shape authority have simply become sub-legends. There are many people who are qualified to try to shape but fail, but they can still continue to be promoted normally.
"Lilith, it doesn't look like it's on the side of the road."
Jiang He touched his chin. The other party should have a way to create dual authority, but unfortunately he has been pretending to be dead recently. As for the sub-legend, this is the second time he has heard of it. The last time was about the current Yingzhou Tsukuyomi.
A brand new duel world, its normal appearance is like a Rubik's Cube, and after continuing to change, it turns into a ring worn on the finger.
Jiang He couldn't help but look at his hands. There were seven pieces in total, including a five-dimensional ring, an engineering ring and a duel ring. If they were regarded as ordinary jewelry, they could be considered luxurious.
In fact, the Five-Dimensional Ring and the Crimson Windbreaker are still at the Ultimate Level, but given that the Ultimate Level can work on ordinary gold, he has not invested resources in this aspect recently.
The Fengtian Army advanced all the way with high morale.
The next afternoon, the dispersed division commanders reported that they had begun to launch offensives against the four satellite cities.
In the central army formation, Yan Jun had an ugly look on his face. The three reconnaissance teams he sent out had failed to get in touch with Rao's direct descendants who had taken a detour. This gave him a bad feeling.
"Keep looking!"
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
In the evening, the southern satellite city surrendered, and the other three lost their strategic support and fell one after another.
When night fell, the Fengtian Army soldiers saw the majestic Tianshui City. The city walls stretched endlessly across the land, and its scale was far larger than the Tianshui Fortress.
The Tianshui Army was destroyed and the private army of the aristocratic families was annihilated.
At this moment, the only troops defending Tianshui City were the local second-line garrison troops, totaling two reorganized divisions.
Aristocratic families and various small and medium-sized sects fled one after another, the servants of the Western Border Palace left without saying goodbye, the general's command turned a deaf ear to the war, and the five major military governors watched from the sidelines.
There was even more chaos in the Western Territory Palace.
"There's a fire!"
"Don't grab things, come and put out the fire!"
"Someone is coming!"
"The city is about to fall, why not join me as a desperate couple?"
In the huge palace hall, the few subordinates looked sad. Several End Players who sneaked into the palace were ready to run away. The location of this battle for authority was in the free world. Since some unexpected situations were theoretically possible, the punishment task did not reach the point of direct execution. If failed, all the props and equipment would be destroyed.
The hall was dimly lit.
The flames of war that are so close at hand can no longer be concealed.
"An army of one million!"
"Where did the million-strong army come from?!"
The Little Western King overturned the table in anger, his hands trembling, and shouted helplessly: "Aren't they just a few scattered bandits!?"
The chief of staff stepped forward, tears welling in his eyes, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I have repeatedly reminded you that the governors do not speak the truth. Now the million elite troops of the Cangwu rebels have arrived outside the city. Please leave quickly!"
"I will shed my blood in this palace to protect the dignity of the king."
"Nonsense." The little Western King picked up the collapsing platform and smashed it at the old master, angrily saying, "Do you think I'm three years old?!"
"I have already issued an order to exempt Cangwu from taxes. What reason do they have to rebel? Heroes, how can the noble families not serve the king?"
The chief of staff lamented, "Your Majesty, the army that came to support you has long been destroyed."
"Shut up, you are just spreading rumors to confuse the people." The Little Western King waved his hands frantically: "Come here, kill him!"
Outside the palace, a passing lieutenant colonel of the garrison heard this and his eyes quickly turned. He stepped into the palace, drew his sword and beheaded the old aide, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic. Please open the treasury. I will organize a team and go out to investigate immediately."
"Good, good, the strong wind can identify the strong grass."
The young King of the Western Territory was overjoyed. As expected, he was the destiny of the Western Territory as his father had said, and loyal ministers could be found everywhere.
"I'll go with you."
The Little King of the Western Territory picked up his robe and tried to run out of the hall, but the only two soldiers left at the door blocked his way.
"The old butler has said that the king is not allowed to leave the palace."
"I am the king, the king, the king!" The King of the Little West Territory roared fragilely and sensitively, "You, a eunuch, dare to control me?"
The two soldiers kept silent. The only reason why Tianshui City had not opened the city walls and surrendered was that the old steward who regarded himself as a house slave was still there. He was a heroic elite creature, and even though he was old, he was still a well-known strong man in the entire empire.
The imperial lieutenant colonel sneaked out of the window. As a garrison officer in the royal palace, he knew that the treasury had been robbed by various governors long ago, but these bits and pieces were still a blessing in disguise for him.
……
at the same time.
On top of Tianshui City, two garrison divisions were lined up for defense. Unlike the chaos in the city, the morale here was quite high. This was because outside the city gate, an old man in a python robe was standing on the ground with his eyes closed, resting with his fingers hooked.
The old face, withered skin, decaying flesh, and the uncontrollable smell of decay all indicated that this man was about to die, but even so, the invincible Fengtian Army still stopped moving forward. Yan Jun and someone returned to the command center in the central army formation at the same time.
"Those who cross the line will die."
The old man in the python robe spoke in a calm tone, but it was unquestionable.
