Chapter 24 Chapter 2 hits the ground running

At noon the next day, the Fire Catching City located on the upper reaches of the Tianluo River was in sight. The founders of this city built the city on the plains, and there was no danger to defend it. Obviously, they did not foresee the catastrophe that was approaching today. Cairou, who had been riding with me for many days, sat on the horse vacated by the Pure Land Sun Warriors, and followed closely beside me. Dahei walked in front of Feixue majesticly, sandwiched between the Sun Warriors, Slowly heading towards the magnificent Fire Catching City, in fact, the road was crowded with people who had taken refuge from all over the place, which also made it difficult for the horse team to advance quickly.

With a look of compassion in Cairou's eyes, she looked at a group of poor Pure Land people who put their belongings on the mule carts, and looked at the faces of imminent disaster, and said softly beside her: I don't know if there are people from that village in there? The village was, of course, the village which we had seen rising from the fire-catching mountains, and which had been reduced to ashes when we arrived.I looked at the thousands of refugees on the road, and I heard the cries of children and women, and suddenly I knew my fate, locked with them. The newly succeeded Duchess Niya fell to the rear of the brigade, commanding her people to maintain the traffic on the road, while Cairou and I went into the city under the escort of ten soldiers assigned by her.

Everyone was overwhelmed by the mournful and mournful atmosphere at the scene, and no one was interested in talking. The closer you get to the city gate, the more crowded people are, and when you are a hundred steps away from the city gate, you have to stop and wait from time to time. I looked up at the thirty-foot-high city head, the flags were tilted to and fro, and the soldiers guarding the wall were all listless, and my heart sank. How can such warriors who have no fighting spirit resist the black fork army that is already stronger than them? The sound of hooves came from the direction of the city gate.

The sound of crying and collision sounded. I looked at the place where the sound came from in astonishment, and saw more than a dozen riders galloped out of the city, and forced their way through the crowd, causing a little chaos. The leading young knight was tall and handsome, and kept shouting to those who squeezed into the city: Make way!Give Way! Cairou and I glanced at each other, knowing that the other party was disgusted with this young knight. After a while, the young knight led more than a dozen men and met our cavalry head-on. The soldiers of our cavalry immediately saluted him by pressing his hands on his chest respectfully.

The young knight was slightly younger than me, and said anxiously: "Have the Duchess returned, and don't let me know when she goes!" The high-status warrior in our cavalry team replied: The Duchess led us to inform the people of the villages to withdraw into the city, and now we are back, Mr. Hongqing. The noble man in Hongqing relaxed his face, and began to pay attention to other people. His eyes first turned to me, and when he moved to Cairou, his eyes lit up with an expression of amazement. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Cairou is so beautiful, In any case, it can cause unexpected troubles.

Reluctantly, his eyes moved from Cairou back to me, his expression turned cold, with doubts, even a trace of jealousy, and he shouted: Who is this person? Our team leader replied: Your Majesty Hongqing, this is the Duchess's guest, with a message from afar. Hongqing couldn't help but peeked at Cairou again, and then said unceremoniously to me: "Report where you came, your identity and what you brought!" I knew that he only wanted to know the relationship between Cairou and me, so I organized the pure land language in my head and said: Do you know that this is not a place to stop and talk, the people behind are so crowded that they can't move.

Hong Qing flashed an angry look, and was about to speak, when a horn sounded from behind, short and long in order, conveying a certain message. Hongqing glared at me fiercely, and avoided to the side. We continue to move forward, and behind us are endless stretches, tens of thousands of refugees who have lost their lovely homes, and I don't know if there will be a future for the Pure Land refugees. The sound of Cairou taking a bath came from the bathroom, listening to the sound of the water, the days in the desert were extremely horrific, and when I thought of going through its hellish world again in the future, my heart trembled with fear.

In the VIP room of the Duke's Mansion, the voices of people outside the palace and the sound of carriages and horses were still faintly heard. The influx of refugees coming for refuge never stopped for even a moment, which made people worry about whether the Fire Catching City could accommodate so many people. Dahei crawled onto the bed, fell into a deep sleep, snoring. It was getting dark, and the long corridor outside the VIP room was lit up earlier, and it was extremely dim under the dark sky. Feixue was resting on the grass in the garden next to the promenade. Although Naniya looked as cold as frost and snow, she finally treated me well.

I walked out the door, and Feixue ran over friendly, and moved his head to my face. I put my arm around its head, patted its long and thin cheeks, and smiled: "Old friend, I will use your help soon." With a big back, he won the victory by killing the enemy on the battlefield.Of course I was thinking of the black forks. The sound of dense footsteps came out from the end of the corridor, and the leader was the proud Duchess Niya, who walked very fast, chasing after the noble lady in red, arguing while walking, and behind her There are seven or eight generals in full body armor. They approached quickly, and when Niya saw me, she stopped and looked carefully at me who had just shaved off my beard and was cleansed, with a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, the noble Hongqing behind her gave me a hard look, and then snatched up to Duchess Niya's delicate body, and said angrily: "This is the rule set by the Tianmiao. Only nobles and warriors are allowed to enter the noble mansion." Niya said with a pretty face, "Needless to say, I have decided to open the palace to refugees and let them sleep in my bed. This is an order. Whoever says no, I will punish him by military law." After being stunned for a while, the gentleman Hongqing calmed down, stomped his feet, and rushed away angrily, and the other two followed him, showing that they were from his camp.

Niya looked at me, her eyes were a little gentler than before, but her voice was still cold, and she said: Thank you very much for the Zhenwu stone you brought back to us, it is a very good thing, enough to make a Zhenwu knife. I fell in love with her greatly, and wondered: You are also a master at making swords. I thought only men would do such a hard job. Niya smiled slightly. My eyes lit up, it turned out that she smiled so charmingly, she really should smile more, so as to live up to the gift of God to her. A general behind reminded her: Duke, your subordinates are waiting for you in the main hall. This general is the oldest among the crowd, probably over 60 years old, he should be Niya's uncle, full of beards, not angry but mighty, obviously a respected elder in the city of arresting fire. Niya's expression turned cold, she nodded and said: I see, General Hou Shen.Move away. I quickly said: Duchess! Niya frowned, and said impatiently: What's the matter? I said: Can I do my best to defend this city? Niya said: "Defending the city against the enemy is another specific tactic. I'm afraid you, an outsider, will hardly be able to help you. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange someone to take you back to the desert. Get out of here!"stranger.I turned around and went, followed by all the generals, all frowning and worried, no one was interested in looking at me again. I woke up from my sleep, Cairou got up early in shock, and Dahei on the carpet beside the bed also looked up.The terrified cry shook the world outside the Jue Mansion. Cairou looks at me. I was stunned and said: The black fork has arrived!Jumping up, Xiang Caijudo: Come on!Help me put on my armor and uniform! Cairou was stunned, and asked: Great Swordsman, what are you doing? I smiled slightly and said: I want to teach those guys who tired me of insomnia a lesson. I rode Flying Snow and rode out of the main street through an unguarded side gate in the back garden of Jue Mansion. The garden was full of refugee tents. When I was about to squeeze through the crowd, those people from the Pure Land cheered me, as if Know that I will do my best to protect their homeland. The look in Cairou's eyes when she hugged Dahei to see me off is still shining in my mind. There were crowds of people on the street, and teams of strong men from the common people rushed towards the city wall, loaded with all kinds of supplies, ranging from weapons for defending the city, rocks, and mule convoys of water and dry food. I patiently sandwiched between them, slowly forward. When they came to a crossroad, the group stopped, and people on the street gave way one after another. Surrounded by more than a dozen knights, a gorgeous carriage drove out from the side street and turned onto the straight road we were walking on. I looked at the car window with the curtain lowered, and I was muttering about who was the important person. Sitting in the car, the curtain suddenly opened, and a pair of bright and sharp eyes cast on me. The carriage stopped suddenly. The guard in front walked forward for more than ten steps before reining in his horse and turning back in shock. I was wondering, who is this?Why stop for me. The door opened. A tall and thin old man in a white robe came down, his face was clear and majestic, his eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he wore a strange hat on his head. People around him saluted him one after another. The calls of the spiritual priests came and went. The old man known as the spiritual priest came to my horse all the way, looked at my eyes with surprise and thought, nodded and said: "Young man, you just brought Zhenwushi back from Dashahai." to our people, eh? I nodded, remembering that Nianjia had mentioned that the highest decision maker of the Pure Land is a priesthood composed of eight priests, but I wonder if this spiritual wisdom is one of the priests? Lingzhi said: Where do you want to go now? I replied: I want to do my part for Fire Catching City. Lingzhi took another deep look at me and said: What you can give us is not just a little strength, young people, you are welcome to join us, come with me! My heart was beating fast, could it be that he had seen through me as a holy sword knight? When Lingzhi and I came to the main building of the city wall, Duchess Niya and more than a dozen generals were looking out of the city with solemn expressions. It is like an endless starry sky, which makes people feel chilling. The guard yelled: The spiritual priest is here! Niya and the generals turned their heads and saw me standing beside Lingzhi, they were all astonished. A look of jealousy flashed in the eyes of that noble gentleman, but in terms of appearance, I am indeed much prettier than him. While all the generals were saluting one after another, Niya took two steps forward, came to Lingzhi and lowered herself to salute: Priest!Lazar's daughter needs your blessing. Lingzhi smiled kindly, put his hand on Niya's head, and said: Lazar's daughter, I bless you.After withdrawing her hand, she said: Duchess Niya, you are doing very well, better than many men, Lazar must be very comforting. Boom!Boom!Boom! The drums of war sounded outside the city, and everyone's attention returned there.The old man, General Hou Shen, said angrily: "Xi Zhutong attacked the city overnight, why don't we give us a chance to breathe." The others were silent. I walked to the city wall and looked out indifferently, with peace of mind, carefully observing the opponent's military appearance. For me who grew up in troubled times, war is as natural as breathing. I felt Nya's eyes rest on my majestic back. Lingzhi came to me and said calmly: The disaster is just around the corner, how can we resolve it? So far I know that his wise eyes have seen through my true identity, an identity that I have been resisting.I couldn't find anything to say for a while. Niya came to me with a puzzled look in her eyes, showing that she didn't understand why Lingzhi valued me so much. I think everyone else had the same doubts as her. The black fork ghost's army slowly stopped three miles outside the city, with the flag flying and the army in full swing. Both the left and right armies are cavalry, so if someone wants to attack the central army, they will be attacked from the flank by these two fast troops, cutting off the reinforcements in the rear. The horn of the Central Military Department sounded. A group of infantry walked out at a fast pace, and stopped at the middle point between the army of the Black Cross and the city wall, and took up their positions with shields. The enemy moves again. A cavalry team of more than a hundred people galloped out of the enemy's formation, and did not stop until they reached the middle of the army and the infantry formation. The flag of this cavalry is taller and bigger than other flags, fluttering in the night wind, showing off its might. Niya beside her was breathing heavily, and the flames of hatred were shining in her eyes, which made me know that it was Xi Zhutong who had come. The gentleman Hongqing shouted angrily: Xi Zhutong is showing us his contempt, and doesn't take us seriously. I suppressed the ecstasy in my heart, and asked me to lead this defeated Pure Land army that was many times weaker than the opponent in terms of strength, morale and tactics to win this battle. The swordsmanship of Feixue, the speed of Feixue, and the sharpness of the witch's blade. A war drum sounded. A warrior rushed out of Xi Zhutong's cavalry, and ran straight towards the fire arresting city. When he reached the place where the arrows could reach, he raised the heavy spear-like weapon in his hand and yelled, then ran back, reined in his horse and stopped at In front of the infantry formation, dancing and dancing, it is obvious that they are fighting. I looked around the generals, and saw that everyone's faces were ashen, and they didn't have the courage to fight. Until now, I didn't understand why they were called black fork ghosts. The man fighting was tall and mighty, with dark skin, several bright colors painted on the exposed parts of his mask, and a helmet with two sharp horns on his head. He really looked like a ghost coming out of hell. There was a dead silence on the city wall, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy and heavy. Niya has forgotten to ask me why I came here. I suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. Everyone was startled and looked at me one after another. My laughter stopped short, and I said coldly: God is helping me, Duchess Niya, please let me go out of the city to fight alone, if I can't come back with Xi Zhutong's leader, I am willing to submit to military law. There was disbelief in everyone's eyes, and they looked at me like a madman. Niya frowned and said: No!I can't let you die.The way she frowns is indeed very beautiful. General Hou Shen said: "Young people, the courage of ordinary people is useless." With the sound of horseshoes under the city, the black fork warrior came to fight again. A wise voice suddenly sounded: Lazar's daughter, the fighters of the fire-catching city, let him go, there is no power in this universe to stop our victory. I exchanged deep glances with him, turned around and walked towards the stairs of Luocheng. After walking a few steps, Niya shouted: "Wait a minute!" I stopped. Niya ran up, kissed me lightly on the face and said: Please accept my blessing, Great Sword Master! A small door on the side of the city gate opened, and I galloped out with flying snow. Immediately, the enemy line erupted into wild screams, extremely excited, but the generals and soldiers on the fire arresting city were silent, obviously worried and lost the interest in shouting. For the Heicha people, they are already terrified. The fighting black-haired ghost screamed and charged forward with a heavy spear. I also watched him charge forward, the big stupid spear in the right leather pouch of the horse's belly came into his hand, Feixue only advanced at a medium speed, because I didn't want the enemy to know its true speed. The Witch's Blade is still on my back, it's my secret weapon.The shouts of the enemy line grew louder. When I saw Xi Zhutong's cavalry slowly moving forward, I obviously wanted to see how I was killed, so my heart moved and I decided on a strategy. The two riders approached quickly. I could already clearly see the ferocious expression of the black-haired warrior with open brows and angry eyes. Under the light of the torches on and outside the city, the world was blood-red. Like a bolt of lightning, the spear came down from below, obliquely grabbing my throat.No matter the speed or angle, they all matched perfectly with his mount, but even if he was born on a horse, his riding skills were still a bit worse than mine. I dodged sideways, and with a drag of the big stupid spear, I dissipated his thunderous blow. The two riders passed each other. Feixue kicked his horse's belly with his hind legs. His steed let out a miserable howl, collapsed on its side, and threw the knight to the ground. The soldiers and civilians guarding the city on the fire-catching wall were all stunned, and then there was an explosion of cheers and shouts, after experiencing so many setbacks and humiliation. I let out a long laugh, and reined in my horse and ran back. At this time, the black-haired warrior bounced his spear on the ground. Earth-shattering cheers erupted again from the enemy formation. I laughed again, jumped off the horseback in the air, and landed on the ground. The Fire Catching City suddenly fell silent, obviously not understanding why I gave up the advantage of being on the horseback. At this time, Xi Zhutong's team had moved past the infantry formation and came to their front. The black-haired warrior shouted wildly and came in with a spear. I snorted coldly, and the big stupid spear moved forward, hitting the tip of the opponent's spear. when The black fork ghost has excellent arm strength, he raised his spear upwards, and attacked again with different moves, but I have no interest in playing with him anymore, he can live for so long only because I want to invite Xi Zhutong out. The pace accelerated. In a blink of an eye, he had rushed into the dead corner on the left side of the black-forked ghost, and the spear handle hit his heavy spear near the handle, and at the same time, he kicked up, hitting his lower abdomen. The black fork ghost let out a miserable snort, the heavy spear swung away, and he fell back. At the same time, my big stupid spear came back, and with a light pick, the opponent's throat was snapped. Shocking applause erupted in the fire-catching city. There was a whistling.Feixue rushed to the side, I jumped on the horseback, and with my legs clamped, Feixue rolled towards Xi Zhutong like a wisp of white cloud. Behind them are the soldiers and civilians of Pure Land screaming hoarsely. I can imagine their mood. Success or failure, right now. In a blink of an eye, I was only forty steps away from Xi Zhutong's cavalry. At this time, seven or eight cavalry from Xi Zhutong's cavalry rushed up to meet them. It can be seen that Feixue's speed was far beyond their expectations. outside. There are more than ten horses in the cavalry, and they move back slowly. I can bet that Xi Zhutong will be among them. There was a roar of hooves in front of him, and seven or eight black-chased warriors, waving all kinds of heavy weapons with strange shapes in their hands, rushed towards them like wolves and tigers. People on both sides shouted like crazy. I know that I have drawn the blood of all the people in the fire-catching city. Even if I unfortunately die in battle, they have learned from me what it means to be fearless. With a rush of passion, I let out a long whistle, and clamped my legs again, and the lightning-fast Feixue miraculously accelerated again. The howling of the wind filled my ears. Twist the horse's head. Feixue leaped up with a long hiss, and landed right in the middle of those rushing black-chased fighters. The witch blade came out of its sheath. The black-crossed warriors on both sides hurriedly retracted the weapons in front of them, but it was half a moment too late. The Witch's Blade flickered twice, and the faces of the two were almost simultaneously hit by the sword, and the protective helmets were instantly broken in two. When their bodies fell to the ground, Feixue had pushed forward more than a hundred steps, and got into that Xi Zhutong's cavalry. Under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry wings, Xi Zhutong stepped back quickly. Footsteps. The infantry team of nearly a thousand people rushed to join Xi Zhutong's small team with swords and shields in hand. The distance between them is only a few hundred steps, the two of them approach together, and they will get together in a few minutes at most. So I only have a few minutes. Otherwise it's all over. The Witch's Blade flashed coldly, and all the dozen or so heavy weapons that were stabbed were snapped off. A series of exclamations sounded. The witch blade was cold again, blood splashed, and the armor was shattered. Feixue and I rushed out of the horse team like a sharp needle piercing thin paper without any delay. Behind it is a road of war blood paved by more than ten people. With a long hiss, Feixue continued to speed up, watching Xi Zhutong's slowly moving banner and chasing after him. The banner is no longer held high as before, but crooked. The people on the fire-catching city behind were screaming hoarsely, and the sound wave was chasing after him like a tidal wave. Five or six of the dozen or so riders came to attack me. I saw Xi Zhutong. He has one distinctive decoration, that is, the double-horned helmet worn by others, the two horns are mostly black, or less green, only his horn is red, which makes me know that this horn The difference in color represents their different identities. Xi Zhutong was thin and straight, his face was hidden in the armor, shining brightly under the firelight, quite frightening. Jingle! The Witch Blade made an exquisite trajectory in the air, and the whistling edge of the blade brought about an astonishing whirl, as if entering an uninhabited land, the enemy's blades were broken one after another, and the Witch Blade cut into the enemy's face and armor, which seemed to be shattered. He chopped down the black fork ghost blocking the way like cutting melons and vegetables. The yelling from behind rose to its peak. I once again broke through the enemy's interception and rushed towards Xi Zhutong's lonely Liuqi, leaving the people behind far away. With a cry, the infantry rushed forward frantically to protect their commander. The sound of two wings and hooves roared. The cavalry on both sides of the enemy also came to escort. I let out a long whistle, and Feixue flew up like a white cloud, and rushed towards Xi Zhutong in the air. Xi Zhutong's banner fell. The blade light flashed, and the two generals beside Xi Zhutong fell back from their horses. Xi Zhutong started to drink violently, but unfortunately I have never learned Heicha dialect, so I don't know what he was yelling about. when! Xi Zhu struck out with the big axe, skillfully blocked my sure-to-kill sword, and prevented me from chopping down his big axe. The other three cavalry attacked desperately. The Witchblade returned to its back. With a flick of both hands, two big stupid spears bounced up like eagles spreading their wings, one sank and one mark, piercing into the flaws of the opponent's moves, smashing their heart armor, and the two fell off the horse in response. Xi Zhutong knew that retreating was not an option, because no horse could run faster than Feixue. With a loud shout, he turned into shadows of axes all over the sky, and charged at me. One of my spears came out from under the side, stabbing the back side, and the other spear swept the front. Ah! when! Xi Zhutong's only remaining bodyguard at the back fell off his horse with a spear, and the other spear fell on Xi Zhutong's big axe. The ax only deflected a little, and then cut back. This ceremony is indeed extraordinary. I gave a secret praise, and struck back with the end of the spear, and hit the front of the axe. At the same time, the left spear retracted to the side, aiming at the opponent's throat. Xi Zhutong fell back in shock, the big stupid spear in my left hand brushed over his face an inch high, almost killing him. The infantry behind him were within ten paces, and I could even hear them panting like wild beasts. I threw up two big stupid spears vigorously, and when I reached out my hand, the witch's blade fell into my hand. Feixue passed by Xi Zhutong's side, before he had a chance to sit up straight. With a flash of blade light, I rushed away from Xi Zhutong, and the witch blade returned to the sheath with a clang sound. She stretched out both hands to catch the two big clumsy spears that had been thrown up earlier and were falling, and the horse stopped. The black-crossed infantryman who was running wildly stopped in shock, with unbelievable horror on his face. Everyone on both sides stopped talking, and suddenly the entire battlefield was dead silent, only the sound of horseshoes approaching from the two wings, still adorning the silent world. when! Peng! Xi Zhutong slid off the horse slowly, the broken face helmet fell to the ground first, and then the body landed on the ground, with his feet still in the stirrups. The horse stepped on its hooves and dragged Xi Zhutong's body, showing the cruelty of war! Xi Zhutong is dead! Xi Zhutong, one of the seven great generals of the Heicha people, died before he could achieve victory. Earth-shattering cheers erupted from the direction of the Fire Catching City. The cavalry on both sides finally arrived. With a long howl, I put two big stupid spears in my hands again, and charged into the opponent's infantry formation. The enemy in front of me was picked up and thrown by me, and I went deep into the infantry formation in an instant, and I saw black forks everywhere. The banner of the Black Cross Army was tilted to and fro, showing that the morale of the army was in disarray. Failure and setbacks are more difficult to accept for the invincible black cross, and they don't know how to deal with them. The roar of hooves came from the direction of the fire catcher city, letting me know that reinforcements were coming. If they don't come again, I will crush the Black Cross alive. No matter how exquisite my sword skills are, my physical strength is always limited. Although the black fork army is in disarray, they are brave and fierce by nature, and the people around are attacking me desperately. The legs of the Heicha man are extremely long, with solid muscles and strong muscles, giving people a terrifying feeling like a beast. Unless it is fatal with a spear, the injured will never retreat. Just as the two enemies were defeated, the sound of the wind rang from my back. I screamed that it was not good. I knew I couldn't stop it, so I leaned forward. Bloodstains, I was finally hurt. I shouted wildly, and the shadows of the two big stupid spears soared, forcing the rushing black fork men to fall away. The big stupid spears retracted and released, and returned to the special leather bags on the left and right sides of the horse's belly. Return to hand. In this situation, tactically speaking, two spears are better than the Witch's Blade for melee combat, but I am exhausted now, and I no longer have the strength to maintain the agility of the two heavy spears. The enemy closed in on me like a tide again. I raised the witch blade, and suddenly a warm current flowed from the handle like a tide, and shot to the whole body like lightning. Not only did my physical strength increase greatly, but even the pain from the wound on my shoulder disappeared. This is not the first time this has happened. After repelling the hatred of war that day, it was also by it that he regained his strength. The blade glow skyrocketed. All kinds of heavy weapons were chopped off like vegetables. I was so energetic that I rushed forward, broke out of the infantry formation, and rushed towards the enemy's main army. Feixue ran faster and faster, and before the enemy had a chance to shoot the second row of arrows, I had already rushed into the battle. The screams and killings from behind showed that the reinforcements had really arrived. The enemy army finally changed from a small chaos to a big chaos. The outcome is set. I rode the flying snow, stepped on the dead bodies in battle, and the blood-stained green grass, and ran upstream along the Tianmeng River. Following me, there were more than two hundred people who were exhausted and dying, but their spirits But very exciting Sun Warrior. We chased and killed the Heicha people for a whole night, until we drove all the Heicha people into the river, and then we were willing to give up. These Sun Warriors followed me at some point, and I naturally became their admiration. leader. The morning sun rises ahead, shining on the beautiful pure land. If half of those Heicha people can go back alive, it will be regarded as auspicious. The battle of the fire hunting city will be a turning point in the struggle between the Pure Land people and the Heicha ghosts. Because the facts tell the people of the Pure Land that the black fork ghost can also be defeated, and hatred can be cleared. This responsibility also came to my shoulders. The big river flows by, and one day I will restore peace to the pure land, and before returning to the desert, I will drink my horses here. The kingdom of witches has become more distant. Great Swordsman, the Duchess is here! I woke up and looked back. A group of more than 1,000 Sun Knights were waving flags, and their military appearances were watching me gallop over. The leaders were Niya, the spiritual priest and a group of generals. I greeted slowly. Niya, Lingzhi, Hou Shen, a group of generals and more than a thousand Sun Warriors shining golden in the morning light fanned out and surrounded me. clang clang clang All the weapons were raised high, pointing obliquely at the sky. Duchess Niya's beautiful eyes were shining with tears of excitement, she looked at me deeply, no longer the coldness of before.She still has self-control, the veteran Hou Shen and some of the soldiers have already burst into tears. I let them see the bright dawn in the darkest night. The road ahead will be more difficult, but there is always hope. The wise and loving eyes of the spiritual priest flashed a burst of excitement, raised something like a crutch in his hand, and shouted: Knight of the Holy Sword who came across the desert, we finally waited for you to appear. Ah Everyone cheered in unison, and the horses stepped forward. The sound of Tianmeng River's rolling water and the screaming of men and horses made the blood in my body boil. I looked up at the rising sun, knowing that my reputation, like hers, lit up this beautiful land. Nianjia, Nianjia, if you die and know, you should be happy for this wonderful beginning. I patted my horse to the side of the beautiful duchess's horse, smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your blessing, it works very well." Niya blushed and lowered her head, but she couldn't hide her heart-pounding surprise from anyone. We didn't go back to capture Huocheng, so we set up a tent by the Tianmeng River to discuss the next move. At this time, all the generals also gathered in the tent, and a large map made of buckskin was spread out in the center of the tent, showing the situation of the pure land. Niya analyzed: The Fire Catching City is at the rear of the Temple of Heaven. During the war, it has not been affected by the flames of war. Therefore, six or seven tenths of the supplies of the Temple of Heaven and the eight castles that guard her are from We supply, this time the Heicha people want to break the lifeline of Tianmiao, their intentions are really vicious, but fortunately, the beautiful eyes floated towards me, and said softly: The Great Sword Master is here. A young general named Zesheng who had been introduced earlier said excitedly: "The martial arts of the Great Sword Master is really amazing. No matter how brave and ferocious the Heicha Gui is, no one is the three-in-one general of the Great Sword Master." I smiled slightly and looked at the map on the ground. The pure land is a vast peninsula. One end connected to the mainland is the large desert that took three months to cross, and the other three sides are surrounded by the sea. Her terrain is very strange, covered with criss-crossing mountains and rivers, basins and plains are enclosed within the mountains, this kind of terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the holy temple located on the largest and highest mountain Zhutian has survived many years of war without falling . The eight castles guarding her are not distributed around her, but guarding the eight entrances leading to the Temple of Heaven. I don't know if some of them have fallen into the hands of the enemy. About one-third of the entire pure land at the tip of the peninsula is painted blood red, showing that it is the land controlled by the Heicha people.If Xi Zhutong seized the fire-catching city, the eight castles centered on Tianmiao, and the vast land in the middle, he would be at a disadvantage of being attacked on both sides. Fortunately that is not the case. I pointed to another sign representing the city between the Fire Catcher City and the Eighth City of Tianmiao, and asked: What city is this? Zesheng stood up and replied: That is Piaoxiang City, which is located between Piaoxiang River and Benyue Mountains, and it is also another big city closest to us. The city of rule. Another tall and thin young general, Hou Shen's son Hou Yu, interjected, "Your gentleman Hongqing is the commander of the reinforcements sent by his father to help us. Now he has rushed back to Piaoxiang City to inform the Grand Duke Hongshi to send someone to intercept the Heicha people." defeated army. Until this moment, I didn't know where Hongqing had gone. Lingzhi exhaled lightly, and said: Xi Zhutong represents one of the seven major military departments under the Heicha Ghost Throne, with a total strength of more than 50,000 troops. Before attacking the fire-catching city, he had already captured four of our cities , massacred more than 100,000 pure land soldiers and civilians, they want to completely exterminate us, so we should not show any mercy to them, war is like this!It's a pity we didn't learn it until today! Either you die, or I die. This is what war is like! I said in a deep voice: Do you know the distribution of the Heicha troops? Niya shook her head and said solemnly: We not only lost our land, but also lost our eyes. This time, Xi Zhutong seemed to come out of hell suddenly, without any warning. Hou Yu interjected: The reason why we have fallen into such a disadvantage in terms of intelligence is mainly because the black fork ghost king uses both enslavement and extermination. For example, wherever they can absolutely control and blockade, all the people in the Pure Land will become slaves that are not as good as pigs and dogs. And for places that are difficult to control, a policy of extermination is implemented, so alas! This Hou Yu has a strong analytical ability and calm eyes, but he is a very talented person. My Pure Land language is still very limited, and I have no problem listening. I have to give a long speech, but I don’t think about it. I meditate for a while, chewing on the words I want to use . The Pure Land people are indeed at an absolute disadvantage. Even if there are too many me in charge, I am afraid it will not be of much use, and it will not help the matter.Defeating Xi Zhutong was just a special blessing from the god of luck. Yes! Lucky!Our weapon is luck. I raised my head suddenly, and my burning eyes swept over everyone. What greeted me was a pair of eyes full of hope and expectation. My heart moved, and I knew that the only magic weapon to win in defeat was the ghost prophecy that I hate the most. The great master Laoshizi said it 700 years ago and wrote down the prophecy in the "Book of Prophecy". Only that prophecy can inspire me to the will of the people of the Pure Land, so that they are willing to use them for me, and their confrontation force and strategy are far superior to our black fork army. Niya blushed and lowered her head. Only then did I realize that my scorching gaze was finally fixed on her pretty face, and I suddenly thought of Hua Qian who was in the far corner of the earth. Is her face full of sorrow?Will she be pregnant with my child? Niya's tender body shook, and she said in a low voice: Great Sword Master, your eyes are very sad! Lingzhi trembled: Endless sadness, endless sadness I looked at Niya's loving eyes and waved my hand, but I couldn't shake off the heavy burden in my heart. I hate the weight of the mission that is placed on my back. Niya moved to my side, almost touching shoulders, and said in a low voice: What should we do now? I know that this beautiful and noble duchess has already fallen in love with me. It is an indescribable wonderful feeling. Since I met Xiqi, I have truly tasted the taste of love. It is the happiness and joy contained in the most bitter cup. Pleasure, the sweetest poisonous wine; Fame and power in the world are nothing compared to a drop of honey squeezed from the fruit of love. Niya's snow-white pretty face was blushed for a while, and she lowered her head, obviously unable to match my gaze. The beauty of her demeanor was as close as Cairou's. I was shocked and realized that Nya really has a strong temptation and attraction for me. , quickly borrowed Cairou to resist. She and Dahei should also be on their way here. A wise voice sounded: Paladin!You haven't answered Lazar's daughter's question yet! Then I remembered that I wanted to answer a question, glanced at the crowd, smiled slightly and said, "Give me a group of people, at sunrise tomorrow, we will march northward, reach the Temple of Heaven, and fight to the death with the main force of the enemy." Then he looked at Niya, whose face suddenly turned pale, and said: You are in charge of staying in the city of arresting fire, as our rear. I'm sorry, Niya, let's end our relationship here, because I really don't want any woman to mourn and suffer for me. Rand is just an unfortunate person, and the only things that accompany me are death and war.It's just that Cairou has made my heart hurt, how afraid I will bring bad luck to her.Just like Xiqi, the princess, the witch, and Hua Qian. Niya hurriedly turned around and said to the veteran Hou Shen: "General Hou Shen, in the name of the Duchess, Niya entrusted you to take care of the volcano and the Tianmeng River." Hou Shen was startled and said: Duchess! Niya resolutely said: Needless to say, this is an order. If Niya does not participate in the battle to defend the temple, Grand Duke Lazar will be ashamed of his daughter. Then he turned around like a whirlwind, his blond hair fluttered up, and he looked at me with unwavering beautiful eyes, and said coldly: "Tomorrow morning, I, Priest Lingzhi, Hou Yu and Zesheng will bring the same Thousands of fire-catching fighters followed the great swordsman to the north.Without waiting for my answer, I turned around and walked quickly, leaving the tent. The tent was extremely quiet for a moment. I looked at Lingzhi, who responded with a wry smile, apparently feeling powerless to change Niya's decision. woof woof! There was a bark. 狗影一閃，大黑穿帳而入，筆直衝來，直撲上身，大舌毫不客氣往我臉上舔來，我心懷大暢，也分不清楚是因見到大黑，還是因為能與采柔繼續共處。 一手抱起大黑，乘機揭帳而出。 采柔笑盈盈站在外面的夕照裏，美得不可方物。 我張開手，讓她投入懷裏。 采柔咬著我的耳朵昵聲道：我見到妮雅女公爵流著淚奔出來。你不但幫她贏了場漂亮的戰爭，還贏了她的芳心，大劍師，采柔為你感到驕傲。
