Text Chapter 281: The Holy Maiden of the Vulcan Sect (First Update)

"Puff..."

Three consecutive city guards were shot through their throats, and fell to the ground with blood splashing from their mouths. After trembling for a few seconds, they lost their lives and lay there motionless.

"Damn deer demon." Xu Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, get my bow."

Two personal guards immediately came over with a big bow, made of pure iron, the veteran Xu Ying suddenly pulled the bow and arrow apart, put a special giant arrow about one meter long on the bow, and shot it out in an instant. In the jungle far away, A deer demon fell to the ground in response, and the arrow just shot through her heart, nailing it to the rock behind her.

"The old general is good at archery." Lin Muyu couldn't help applauding.

Even Wei Chou couldn't help his blood boil, and said: "The old general's arrow skills are as good as gods, which is extremely admirable."

Xu Ying smiled slightly and said: "The major general is absurd. Xu Ying has no great prospects in this life. He only has a good arm strength. With this iron bow, his wish is fulfilled to defend the border of the empire."

Wei Chou also took out the Demon Devouring Bow, and with a few "swish" arrows, he shot and killed all the snake men climbing on the edge of the city. He only shot eyes and necks where there were no scales, and his arrow skills were also extraordinary.

Xu Ying opened his eyes wide, and looked at Wei Chou with admiration: "Ha, I didn't expect there to be such a master of archery in the imperial guards. I really admire this old man."

Lin Muyu's gaze stayed on the densely packed monster army below the city, and said, "Are they going to keep attacking like this?"

"yes."

Tang Zhendao: "They use the snake man as a shield, but the real killer is the deer demon. Those hateful deer demons are so accurate with their arrows. Half of our soldiers who died in battle died under bows and arrows."

"Is there nothing we can do?"

"Yes, go out of the city to fight." Tang Zhen smiled wryly, pointed to the distance, and said, "Young General, look at that valley. The siege, unfortunately none of our 70,000 troops survived, and all of them were buried outside the pass."

Outside the city, the army of snake people is still attacking fiercely. Many snake people use a kind of iron claws, put the claws on their hands, and insert the claws into the outer wall of Zhenyaoguan, which has been in disrepair for a long time, step by step. Climb up so fast that it looks like countless reptiles are climbing on the wall outside the pass, attacking the city densely.

Wei Chou's scalp became numb, and he said in a low voice, "Controlling, if things go on like this, I'm afraid this Yaoguan Pass will not last for a few days."

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded, and said with a heart full of thoughts: "Let's go, go back to the camp, send more people to defend the city, and we must not lose it."

"Yes, Major General."

...

Returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone sat beside the sand table with frowning faces. Lin Muyu was also silent, playing with the delicate gold ornaments on the hilt of the Dragon Spirit Sword.

Tang Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Major General, being so passive will only lead to more and more wounded soldiers and lower morale. The Major General has a countermeasure."

"Not yet." Lin Muyu shook his head, his eyes fell on Xu Ying, and said: "Old General Xu has dealt with the monster clan, so he should know the weakness of the monster clan."

Xu Ying pondered and said: "The last time, the 300,000 monster army invaded the land of Middle-earth. The army of the Ten Thousand Monster Race was smashed to pieces, but... we don't have that many heavy cavalry now, so this method will not work at all."

Wei Chou looked at Lin Muyu and asked, "Old General Xu has already said, control, what are you thinking?"

Lin Muyu frowned and said: "I'm thinking, the loss of the Yaozu is not small. They are so desperate, what do they want to get from us? If they want to conquer Lanyan City, they are simply not enough with this force look."

A captain of the Tianchong Legion gritted his teeth: "These demons are not human. No matter what they want, as soldiers of the empire, the only thing we need to do is to kill them all."

Lin Muyu smiled: "The truth is true, but thanks to Yu Wenxie, we don't have the power to kill the hundreds of thousands of monster army in front of us."

"Then what does the major general think?" Xu Ying asked.

Lin Muyu lightly pressed the table, stood up and said: "Tomorrow, we will use fire to attack, create a line of fire under the city wall, and force their half-fox people to come out. I want to talk directly to their leader."

"What,."

Commander Wan who rushed to the Legion that day was stunned: "Major General, you want to talk to people from the Yaozu. Aren't you afraid that others will charge you with collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

Lin Muyu smiled: "Let him go, I can't control it."

...

That night, 10,000 pass guards entered the forest behind to cut down dead wood and collect black beech oil. Black beech oil is produced from black beech trees, and it burns when it encounters a fire.

The cold wind blowing at Zhenyao Pass at night made it extremely cold.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the snake-man army finally recedes like a tide, but it is replaced by a group of lizardmen, about 10,000 people, each with brown eyes glowing golden under the moonlight, "Nobuko" "Sisi", with a shield in one hand and a shovel in the other, he quickly came to the bottom of the city, and swung the shovel at the bottom of the city wall, actually digging mud.

"Damn."

Xu Ying stroked his white beard, and said with a sneer, "This group of lizardmen...are trying to poach our corners."

Lin Muyu took advantage of the moonlight to see the appearance of the lizard man clearly. The lizard head looked very terrifying and frightening, but with such a head, how could it have any wisdom, so he said: "The lizard man does not have such wisdom, it must be The half-fox is leading the battle."

"Major General, what should we do?" Xu Ying asked.

"How deep is the foundation of Zhenyao Pass?"

"About 20 meters."

"That's good, let them dig and fill it up with rolling stones tomorrow."

"yes."

In the cold night, Lin Muyu wrapped her cloak tightly and looked into the distance. A "Great Wall" was built in the western part of the empire. It shuttled between the steep mountains like a long dragon. This was probably the biggest reason why the monster race could not move eastward. In the flattest terrain of the Great Wall, it blocked the soldiers from the monster clan's invasion.

"Go back, I will continue to patrol for a while." Lin Muyu said.

"Yes, Major General."

Xu Ying, Tang Zhen, Wei Qiu and others went back to the camp one after another, while Lin Muyu carried the Dragon Spirit Sword and walked forward along the city gate. After walking for a few miles, he arrived at the mountain. Looking west, there was a clear light , the endless jungle is like an ocean that bred this group of monsters. In fact, in Lin Muyu's view, this group of monsters are more like half-orcs, neither human nor beast, which is pitiful, but what do these monsters want to do now? What.

Looking down at the distance between the wall and the ground, it was about 30 meters. Lin Muyu pondered, took a deep breath and looked at the guards around him, who also looked at him.

"Major General, you want to go west."

"Yeah." Lin Muyu nodded: "Stay here, wait for me to come back, don't act rashly."

"yes."

Plunging into the darkness, a faint golden light bloomed in the sky, and the gourd vines quickly lingered over the city, weakening the impact on Lin Muyu, but jumping from a height of nearly 30 meters was still a bit scary, and the whole person rolled into it with a "pop" sound. In the weeds, his knees hurt from falling, he stood up with a whimper, put the Dragon Spirit Sword back into its sheath, stepped into the jungle, and disappeared in the sight of a group of guards in a blink of an eye.

...

After a short walk, there is the big camp of the monster clan in front of them, but there are few lights in their big camp, because the snake people, lizard people, and bear people are all afraid of fire, but the half fox people and deer monsters are not afraid of flames. Born with fear, Lin Muyu walked cautiously, avoiding the camp of a group of snake people, and the screams of snake people kept coming from his ears. The fierce attack during the day also produced many wounded soldiers, who were receiving healing at this time. The way of healing is some medicinal herbs and ancient witchcraft, which I really don't understand.

Yaozu camps are all over the jungle, just like their way of life.

Lin Muyu walked for nearly five miles, and finally there was a dim light of fire in the jungle in front of him. After getting closer, he found that there were actually tents here. Tents made of gray cloth were scattered all over the jungle.

"rustle……"

There was a rustling sound not far away, and a black figure was slowly advancing in the jungle. Lin Muyu couldn't help but nervously grasped the long sword, and groped along the way.

Just when he was about to approach, he jumped forward suddenly, opened his palms and twisted with the power of the martial soul, and gourd vines rose from the ground, entangled the black shadow in a blink of an eye, Lin Muyu swooped, and covered the opponent's mouth with his open hand , The long sword was unsheathed, and the flaming blade directly touched the opponent's neck, and said in a low voice: "Don't bark, or I will kill you."

However, under the firelight of the Dragon Spirit Sword, Lin Muyu saw that the person in front of her was a girl with a coquettish appearance, a pair of fox ears on top of her head, and a fluffy tail swaying behind her. She looked at Lin Muyu in horror , Struggling hard, but still unable to struggle through the tough gourd vine.

Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that the half-fox people had women, but after thinking about it, how could they survive without women, she couldn't help laughing at herself secretly.

"If you don't make a sound, I'll let go, or I'll kill you." He said coldly, "Just nod if you agree."

The fox girl nodded quickly, and Lin Muyu let go of her hand and asked, "Who are you?"

The fox girl opened her eyes wide and said in vague words: "I... I am the maid of the saint..."

"Saint."

"Well, the saint of the Vulcan Sect of the Endless Forest."

Lin Muyu was a little dazed, and said, "Tell me, why did the monster race suddenly attack the human empire after decades of dormancy?"

A trace of panic flashed in the girl's eyes, she shook her head and said, "I...I can't say, otherwise I would have betrayed the saint."

"Say no."

Lin Muyu's sword touched her snow-white neck.

The girl closed her eyes, tears flowed down, her tail swayed back and forth, her ears trembled, and she cried, "You kill me, it's a pity that Hongluo can no longer serve the saint..."

"It's really unyielding..." Lin Muyu sighed,
