Chapter 1044 Border Fortress
"I come from the Black Lotus Territory and plan to go to the Heavenly Soul Territory." Huo Hai said while lifting his hat. The guards of these fortresses have nothing to do with the forces within the Black Lotus Territory.
Even if the interior of the Black Lotus Territory was in chaos, it still did not affect the border. These guardians of the border do not have time to care about what is going on inside the Black Lotus Territory. Many people here didn't receive much news about the previous earth-shattering battle. Therefore, even if Huo Hai reveals his face, these people still don't recognize Huo Hai.
The guard waved his hand, and several people walked out immediately. The leader, an old man, held a special stick with a gem emitting a faint light at the tip. Aim the gem at Huo Hai, inject spiritual power into it, and the gem emits a faint white light.
Going back and forth, these people checked Huo Hai's whole body several times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "He is a human being, not a transformed spiritual beast, and he does not have the aura of a ferocious beast." The old man stepped back and faced someone else said.
After reaching this conclusion, the others immediately relaxed and immediately retracted their weapons. "I'm sorry, sir, we are also responsible." The exploration of the crystal just now clearly showed that the seemingly inconspicuous person in front of him has reached the realm of the Spirit Emperor. In fact, at this time, Huo Hai was also extremely amazed.
After you have mastered the Qi Locking Technique, unless you release your breath, no detection method in the Black Lotus Domain will be able to clearly feel your true strength. Only a few can barely detect their own aura.
And the method the old man used just now can actually clearly reveal his hidden strength.
Huo Hai waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. By the way, why are you so careful? Did something happen?" Huo Hai frowned a little. If something happened at the border, his plan to leave would be delayed. And once the plan is delayed and the Haotu Empire finds out, even if he is still on the border, he will probably encounter a lot of trouble.
These borders are indeed not controlled by any other internal forces in normal times. But these internal forces often send people to the border to help guard it. The border is not a safe place, and wars often break out here.
The guard led Huo Hai inside and said in a low voice: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you can't leave the border these days. The ferocious beasts were gathering outside a few days ago, and it looks like they will launch an attack soon. .”
Launching an attack, this is a ferocious beast attacking the city, Huo Hai frowned slightly. Outside the western border of the Black Lotus Territory is not the Heavenly Soul Territory. If you want to reach the Heavenly Soul Realm, you have to pass through a desolate land. There are very few people living in these desolate places, and more of them are ferocious beasts. And these ferocious beasts often gather together to organize attacks on border fortresses.
No one knows why these ferocious beasts always like to attack the border. But every time they attack, the number of ferocious beasts will be very large, and there are many ferocious beasts that have reached the realm of the Spirit Emperor.
In such a war, it might be possible for Huo Hai to rush over during the period of complete victory, but in the current state, it is better to stay in the fortress. When such a ferocious beast attacks, all nearby people are obliged to help.
Not long after, Huo Hai, led by the soldiers, had passed through the city gate and entered the interior of the fortress. Just as Huo Hai thought, the interior of the fortress was indeed a complete city. However, there are almost no ordinary people here, or anyone at all, who have practiced spiritual power and have a certain level of cultivation. And the folk customs here are very tough.
Huo Hai didn't see anyone randomly fighting on the road, but he often saw people competing on the nearby ring. Under such an environment, the number of spiritual masters produced is quite large, which is really eye-catching.
The power gathered in such a fortress, if placed in the interior of the Black Lotus Territory, would definitely be comparable to the average super-class forces. Huo Hai would never have thought that this place would look like this unless he came here to take a look.
Even though ferocious beasts were attacking the city, people were still coming and going in the city, and no one showed panic on their face. It seems that they have long been used to it, having often experienced ferocious beasts attacking the city. The guards took Huo Hai all the way directly to the other side of the city wall. The city wall here is taller and thicker, the spiritual array is stronger, and the spiritual array is always open.
At such a height, due to the restricted airspace nearby, it is impossible for the ferocious beasts to fly over the fortress. They can only land on the fortress obediently, or fight with the soldiers in the fortress not far above the fortress. .
"What a strong momentum, these are real soldiers." Huo Hai sighed inwardly when he walked to the city wall and looked at the soldiers who were busy going back and forth. This kind of momentum is far beyond comparison with the soldiers of the Haotou Empire. In the vast empire, probably only the elite can compare with the soldiers here in terms of momentum.
Among all the soldiers, none is below the level of a spiritual being, and every one of them has a certain level of strength. The murderous aura on his body told Huo Hai that these soldiers were definitely not the kind of people who were just trained to look good.
Suddenly, Huo Hai pointed to the city wall in front of him and asked, "What's going on with the city wall here? Why are there steps?" The city wall in front of him was actually a layer of steps. Although these steps are very high and steep, they are covered with spikes and sharp blades. But in such a place, it seems that ferocious beasts can rush up along it.
At this time, the general who defended the city came over: "Haha, there is no way. If we don't give these ferocious beasts a chance to rush up, these ferocious beasts will concentrate all their strength on attacking the city wall. Our city wall cannot support it."
A large number of ferocious beasts attack at the same time. Even the spiritual formation cannot resist for long, and the spiritual power is consumed very quickly. To this end, after years of experiments, everyone finally invented a method, which is this high-step city wall.
When the ferocious beasts charged over, they felt that they could charge forward, so naturally they would not attack the city wall with all their might. Because the steps are too steep, it is not easy for ordinary ferocious beasts to rush up. In the end, the ferocious beasts can trample many ferocious beasts to death, which relieves a certain amount of pressure on the defenders. Of course, this approach is beneficial to the ferocious beasts after all.
Some of the ferocious beasts rushed up directly. Every time they attacked the city, the soldiers defending the city would lose many companions. But everyone has no choice. Facing these mindless beasts, they can only persist like this.
"Okay, you go back, I will receive this gentleman." The general stepped forward and said to the guards, and then the guards left. The general guarding the city here is not simple himself, he is actually a peak spiritual king.
Pointing to the surroundings, the general said loudly: "My lord, please let me introduce our usual city defense. When the ferocious beasts attack the city, I will need your help, sir." With that, the general began to introduce the surroundings. everything of. This is also the time to fight later. I hope Huo Hai can cooperate better and not do something bad.
There have been cases in the past where some foreign experts died due to poor cooperation. Although this situation is unavoidable, as a general, you still have to minimize the occurrence of incidents.
Just as the general was introducing Huo Hai to the method of defending the city, a guard suddenly ran over. "General Qi, the Second Fortress said that their city lord has gone somewhere, and they can't find their city lord now."
Hearing this, the general looked annoyed: "Damn the vast empire, they are thinking about their own interests all day long. Every time they attack the city, this old guy uses various excuses not to help. If there is a chance in the future, we must make him look good. .”
The general took a deep breath, and then said to Huo Hai: "I'm really sorry, I'm a little excited. You must have passed the fortress of the Haotou Empire when you came here. They built a fortress here and used the environment here to collect resources. , but rarely helps the front line. The people in the Vast Land Empire are not good people, it’s really annoying.”
Huo Hai quickly comforted him, but he was very clear in his heart. This time they didn't lie. They really couldn't find the so-called city lord. The only Spirit Emperor master had already been destroyed by Huo Hai when he arrived.
After a long time, the general came back and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these irritating things. When this battle is over, I will treat you to a drink." The grumbling seemed to bring the two people closer. Relationship.
Before the general could say anything, the ground suddenly shook. The general's face changed: "The siege of the ferocious beast has begun. All personnel are in place. Sound the alarm. Quick, quick, quick. Don't delay. My lord, I'm going to trouble you next. Follow me." After that, the general Pulling Huo Hai, he ran away. Because Huo Hai has said before that he is good at long-range attacks.
Following the general's order, the soldiers who had been preparing for a long time began to take action in an orderly manner. Various tools for defending the city were in place, and the soldiers quickly arrived at their location. As alarm bells ring.
Not long after, the masters inside the fortress also appeared at their positions on the city wall, which had been planned before. Many of these experts are temporary helpers, and some, like Huo Hai, also have to go out.
In just a moment, a black shadow appeared in the distance. It's like the feeling of a line between sea and sky when the tide rises in the sea. The ground shook as the beasts ran, as if there was an earthquake. Looking at it from a distance, Huo Hai couldn't help but take a breath. "I didn't expect there to be so many ferocious beasts. There must be at least more than 100,000 of them."
One hundred thousand ferocious beasts, Huo Hai didn't care about this kind of scene, but the quality of these ferocious beasts was really too high.
