Chapter 981 Occupy!

The road leading to Hewang Village is not easy to walk. Many places are rugged, and the narrow places can only allow the carriage to pass through.

When Snowman City's brigade tried to pass this road, they had to risk being ambushed and stretched the distance between the teams, and there was no other way.

Fortunately, along the way, everything is safe and sound.

On the soil slope covered with green grass, Balgruuf, dressed in battle armor, was condescending, looking at the team marching on the mountain road like ants, his brows furrowed tightly together.

Since starting from Xueman City, he has led the team to travel for nearly ten days, and now he is finally about to reach the destination.

When the army travels, the speed is not much faster, not to mention the difficult mountain road.

Along the way, the pain of the march made Balgruuf, who had been comfortable for many years, a little uncomfortable. It was not until this time that he realized that the brave and tenacious self had hollowed out his body because of alcohol and trivial matters.

Balgruuf, who was invincible on the battlefield and frightened the enemy, may never come back!

The weakness of his body made Balgruuf feel sad, and the information he received along the way also made his complexion worse and worse, and his mood became extremely bad.

It is now completely certain that the outer demons are entrenched in the vicinity of Hewang Village, and there is no trace of the activities of the outer demons in other places.

Perhaps the power of the outer demons has already reached other areas in Xueman Territory, but it has not been discovered for the time being.

For Balgruuf, this is very good news, because as long as the outer demons always stay in a fixed location, his army can drive straight in and directly surround and surrender it, thus avoiding the search and pursuit of the mountains and fields. Killing trouble.

At first glance, it seems very good, but this is a war, and it is definitely not a child playing a house. Since the outer demons dare to stay in a fixed area so blatantly, they must have a special reliance.

For the attack of the Xueman City army, I am afraid that I have already been prepared!

Balgruuf can't believe that this will cause turmoil in the entire continent, and make countless gods descend the oracles of the outer demons, will be so vulnerable!

So he took out a large bounty and issued missions to mercenary adventurers to collect information about the outer demons.

Sure enough, the battle report that flew like snowflakes confirmed his previous guess!

"All the villagers in Hewang Village are missing. There is an ambush in the village. Any outsiders who enter the village will be captured by uniforms!"

"More than ten reconnaissance troops were ambushed in the dense forest near Hewang Village by the outer demons. No one escaped, and their life and death are unknown!"

"A large number of adventurer teams are missing near Hewang Village, it is estimated that it is related to the outer demons!"

"Stone City was found in the dense forest. There is a huge vortex in the sky above. Evidence of the existence of giant dragons has been found. It is estimated that this place is the lair of the outer demons!"

"Tianwai Mozu has a large number of combat puppets, as well as sharp long-range weapons, with amazing lethality!"

Looking at the information about the Outer Demon Race, Balgruuf felt a headache, because by piecing together these pieces of information, he already had a basic impression of the Outer Demon Race.

Powerful, mysterious, low-key, and unclear!

This is the basic situation he currently has, which can be said to be very general and vague. And he will rely on these vague information to fight the enemy!

This is actually unreasonable, because it is undoubtedly a taboo in the military to choose to attack rashly without fully understanding the strength of the opponent.

Changes on the battlefield, even a small negligence, may lead to failure.

It is a pity that Balgruuf has no choice, because once the coalition forces of various factions reach the Snowman Territory, his rule will be in jeopardy.

Therefore, he must buy time to solve the hidden dangers of the outer demons before the various forces enter the Xueman lead, and then free up his hands to deal with this huge crisis.

Even in Balgruuf's view,

Compared with the outer demons, these demon slaughtering legions composed of many forces are even more dangerous!

Dislodging the messy thoughts in his mind, Balgruuf stepped down from the grass on the hillside and mounted his warhorse.

"Hurry up, we must reach Hewang Village before dark, and then directly surround and strangle the outer demons!"

The urgency in Balgruuf's heart was revealed through his words and actions unconsciously. Seeing this, the soldiers of Xueman City couldn't help but speed up their advance, so as not to anger the ruler of Xueman City!

For a while, the horses neighed, the wheels rolled, and soon they crossed the most difficult section of the road.

The road that follows is a smooth road paved with gravel. Even if there are some difficult places to walk, it is much stronger than before.

Looking at the soldiers who had resumed their normal marching speed, Balgruuf's bad mood became better, and the only smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for several days.

Unfortunately, the smile didn't last long before it was swept away by the commotion in front of the team.

"Go and see what's going on, deal with it immediately!"

After instructing the guard, he quickly went to check on the horse.

After a few minutes, the guard returned on horseback and reported to Balgruuf: "The road ahead has been destroyed, and a stone tablet has been erected with some words engraved on it!"

Hearing this, Balgruuf raised his thick eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What's the content?"

The guard's expression was a little weird, but he quickly replied: "The stone tablet says that this place has become the private territory of the Holy Dragon City, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach, otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk!"

In front of Lord Xueman, saying that the other party's territory was forcibly occupied by others, this kind of scene is really strange.

It can even be said that this is hitting the face of the landlord Balgruuf!

Sure enough, when Balgruuf heard this, he immediately let out a sneer, with a hint of anger and disdain in his tone.

"Where is this holy dragon city, is it related to the demons outside the sky? Privately occupying land in my territory, they really don't take me as a lord in their eyes!"

Although the two sides have not yet fought, they are obviously in a state of hostility, and it is normal to seize a piece of land. But after the forcible occupation, he erected a monument and wrote it in a confident tone, which was a bit embarrassing.

No matter what the other party's purpose was, Balgruuf felt that he had lost face.

"Smash the stone tablet and move on, I don't believe that in my territory, these celestial demons can turn the sky!"

Following Balgruuf's order, the stone tablet engraved with words was also pushed by the soldiers together, and then smashed into pieces by the indigenous monks.

Immediately after, the soldier walking in the front lifted his foot and stepped over the position of the stele, and continued toward Hewang Village.

But what no one thought was that just as these soldiers walked into the land "occupied" by the Holy Dragon City, there was a crisp sound.

A series of screams came out, and more than a dozen soldiers were falling to the ground, groaning in pain while hugging their bloody thighs.

This sudden scene suddenly made the soldiers behind them panic. They raised their spears and looked around constantly, trying to find the enemy's trail.

However, except for the trees around, not even a ghost shadow can be seen!
