Chapter 435: Bombardment of Yumen Pass

Dragon Domain, Hall.

The cold wind whistled overhead. The rest of the Xia Clan’s territory was almost ready for spring, but Dragon Domain was still in severe cold. Snowflakes were floating in the air, and it was extremely bitterly cold.

Mingyuechi was dressed in military uniform, with delicate soft armor outlining her round and soft peaks. Her hands were on the table, her eyes full of solemnity: "It is confirmed that the man has entered the Western Region Protectorate."

"Absolutely true."

Fengyu nodded: "Ding Muchen and I saw it with our own eyes."

"Yes, Yuechi, that man also knows the martial arts of the Holy Temple. There is no doubt that he must be one of us."

"It is the Western Region Protectorate again..."

Mingyuechi bit her red lips and said: "Liekongshui has guarded the Western Region Protectorate for many years and has always used an iron-fisted strategy. But recently, barbarians have entered the country, and the Xia tribe knows almost nothing about the Western Region Protectorate. This makes me quite uneasy. Let's do this, Fengyu, Ding Muchen, I will discuss with Xingchu Gong later and make the next decision."

"No need..."

Just then, Lin Xingchu's voice came from outside the door. Sure enough, the scarf She stepped into the Dragon City Hall in a light golden uniform, and said, "There is indeed something fishy about the Western Region Protectorate. I have asked His Majesty to send a special envoy to check the details of the Western Region Protectorate. I also ask Lord Yuechi to send two masters to protect the special envoy."

"Okay."

Mingyuechi looked at me and Fengyu and said, "Are you two willing to go?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

Mingyuechi walked up and said to me with a gentle smile, "Ding Muchen, you have made great contributions in eliminating the barbarian soldiers and cavalry. On behalf of the Dragon Region, I give you such a reward. I also hope that you will continue to work hard and continue to contribute to the future of the human race!"

"Ding!"

System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Eliminate the Barbarians] (S-level★), and get the reward of +35% experience, +1200 reputation, +1 luck, and +50,000 merit!

In an instant, the military rank was promoted to the eighth-level feather school, and the main attribute attack power increased by as much as 19%!

Then, another mission came——

"Ding!"

System prompt: You have accepted the mission [Escort Special Envoy] (S-level ★★)!

Another S-level mission, this time it has become two stars, and the reward should be more.

Lin Xingchu looked dim and said: "The special envoy team is outside, let's set off early, I hope you can all return safely, Lord Fengyu Dragon Rider, take your dragon, if there is any accident, you must return alive, the special envoy's mission is only to go to the Western Region Protectorate to find out, if there is any accident, leave it to fate."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

...

After going out, there was a team of about a hundred envoys outside. The special envoy was a middle-aged civil servant, holding the envoy, and nodded respectfully to me and Fengyu, saying: "Sir, can we set off?"

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Summoning the cold iron horse, I climbed on the horse and felt relaxed. This is an escort mission, and it is destined to be an escort mission that will not be very smooth. I hope there will be less trouble.

Leaving Dragon Territory, galloping on the official road, at this speed, it would take an hour and a half to reach Yumen Pass. There were civil servants in the envoys' group, so the speed was too slow, but there was nothing I could do but accompany them. Who made me a Dragon Territory person, and a confidant of Mingyuechi? Perhaps in Mingyuechi's heart, my status has surpassed Lingyu and other dragon riders, and I am on par with Fengyu.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, and I finally passed through the entire territory of Julu City and arrived at Yumen Pass on the western border.

This was also the first time I saw this legendary city pass.

As the sun set, this majestic pass stretched for dozens of miles, connecting two towering mountains together. The city wall was 20 meters high, standing like a giant in this wild forest. The flags on the pass fluttered, and the setting sun reflected a ray of golden light on the city wall outside the pass, as if the gray bricks were coated with a layer of gold.

This is the inner pass. There is an outer pass a few hundred meters away from the inner pass. The inner pass is guarded by Julu City, and the outer pass is guarded by the army of the Western Region Protectorate, forming a barrier to the western border of the Xia people.

"Knock knock knock~~~"

Amid the sound of horse hooves, a row of cavalrymen wearing the emblem of Julu City galloped over. One of them, holding a sword, stepped forward and said respectfully: "I am a subordinate of Princess Qingyi, and I am here to welcome the envoy into the pass. Now it is night, please rest inside the pass for one night, and continue on the journey tomorrow morning?"

The envoy nodded: "Thank you."

I had nothing to say, and I had no right to speak, but Feng Yu frowned and refrained from speaking. After all, the envoy was old and could not withstand the bumps like us.

"Squeak!"

The heavy iron gate opened, and everyone entered the pass. Just in front, two familiar figures appeared. Luo Qingyi and Sura, who were wearing armor, were actually here. When they saw me, they smiled knowingly. Luo Qingyi said, "I have already set up a banquet in the pass. Please go to the special envoy for dinner and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, princess. I am so honored!"

"Please come in."

The garrison in the pass is relatively spacious. It is in a hall close to the inner wall of the city wall. The lights are bright, and a table of hot meals has been prepared, and there is even fine wine. Luo Qingyi smiled and invited everyone to come in. Feng Yu and I were naturally among them. We are representatives of the Dragon Domain and have extraordinary status.

As soon as I saw the chicken legs, pork knuckles, etc. on this table, I suddenly had an appetite. I looked at the hunger and satiety value, which was close to 50%, so I sat down and ate with a group of NPCs. After eating two chicken legs, I felt very hungry. The satiety value increased to 70%, and then I ate some elbow meat, and the hunger and satiety value reached 90% in a short time.

"Taste this."

Sulla sat next to me, looking virtuous, and poured me a glass of wine. The wine was dark red, and the cup used was a jade cup. The wine was rippling, and it felt like a luminous cup of grape wine. I picked up the cup and drank it. After downloading, there was a prompt in my ears——

"drop!"

Combat Tips: If you drink [Fine Grape Wine], your stunt value will increase by +50% for 120 seconds!

Actually increase the growth rate of stunt value?

I was surprised. It seemed that the system had already revealed something to me. In the near future, Jiu Jian Liu would definitely return to the world...

After a few glasses of wine, there is no more effect. Anyway, my stunt value is already full.

Sula smiled and said: "We have arranged for the special envoy to rest in the pass tonight. You should also rest together. We will leave at dawn tomorrow. It has been unusual outside the pass recently, so you have to be extra careful."

"Yeah, I know!"

At this moment, there was a "beep" sound, and a message came from Lin Che: "Fuck...Brother Chen, thank you for reminding everyone at noon not to go to the north. Something big happened in the north!"

"ah?!"

I was shocked: "What happened?"

"The Nemesis triggered an ice storm that swept across the entire Lost Plains and lasted for 60 seconds. Therefore, almost all the players in the Lost Plains died once. Only those with invincible special skills escaped by using the invincible return to the city. !”

"Depend on……"

I was a little surprised: "I originally thought that Kemir would hunt down players one by one, but I didn't expect that the game would be so big... You asked Beichen's brothers to stop wandering in the North if they don't have invincible special skills. Those who have special skills don't have CDs." Don’t go even if it’s finished.”

"okay!"

…

Night falls.

It was a deserted scene when the Yumen Gate was closed. Soldiers were guarding the city wall with torches erected on the side, one person every five meters. The sound of horse hooves was also heard from below the city. They were some scout teams patrolling out of the city. The torches were like fireflies scattered on the ground. Likewise, in the distance only the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the wind.

I stood on the side of the inner wall and looked in front of me. A few hundred meters away, torches were lit up. On the wall of the city, a big word "西" was looming, which was the name of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. banner.

Luo Qingyi, Sula and Feng Yu didn't sleep, so they stood aside.

"It's so quiet this night..." Feng Yu sighed.

Luo Qingyi smiled slightly: "I hope this silence can last longer."

Feng Yu smiled knowingly: "Yes!"

But at this moment, the Ice Wind Frost Dragon that was crawling on the city wall not far away suddenly raised its head, with uneasiness in its eyes, and stood up suddenly, roaring at the distant city wall opposite.

"What's wrong?!" Feng Yu frowned.

Before the Ice Wind Frost Dragon had time to express anything, an earth-shattering sound came from the opposite side.

"Peng~~~"

A burst of flames spurted out, and the whole earth was shaking. The next moment, it exploded directly on the city wall less than ten meters away from me. The soldiers in charge of the patrol were blown to pieces before they could even scream. Then tongues of fire continued to spit out from the darkness on the opposite city wall, making everyone panic, as if they were in purgatory.

The Xia clan defenders of the Western Region Protectorate actually bombarded their own Yumen Pass? !

"It finally begins!"

Luo Qingyi gritted his silver teeth, with anger and murderous intent in his beautiful eyes, and said: "Lie Kongshui, you old guy, can't you finally help showing your fox tail? The generals obeyed the order, fired back, and immediately mobilized The Julu City Cavalry Regiment in the pass is preparing to enter the Western Region Protectorate to put an end to the chaos for the empire!"

On one side of Julu City, the cannon muzzles on the city wall moved and the counterattack began!

My hand holding the Dragon Flame Shield was trembling slightly. Finally, has the rebellion in the Western Region Protectorate fully begun? !

"Bang!"

A bolt of flames shook the city gates, blowing up a room in one of the gates. Then came the cries of servants. At the same time, a ringtone made me speechless.

"Ding!"

System prompt: Since the special envoy has been killed by shelling, your mission [Escorting Special Envoy] (S-level ★★) has officially failed!

…

Looking at the task list, S-level tasks were slowly removed. What a loss!

Inside and outside Yumen Pass, artillery fire continued, and flames shot up into the sky. Both sides were competing with each other in terms of firepower, but Julu City was obviously stronger. There were enough artillery shells, which kept bombing from the dark night to dawn. The stores in the city gate The shells had just been used up, and at ten o'clock in the smoky early morning, figures in the distance wavered, and in the fog and smoke, rows of rebels from the Western Region Protectorate holding heavy shields appeared.

“Tuk tuk tuk~~~”

A column of cavalry came out of the battle. They looked familiar. It was the unknown general from the day. He was holding the Xia tribe's flag and shouted with cold eyes: "After investigation, Luo Qingyi, the lord of Julu City, colluded with the barbarian army in the west, even if the barbarian soldiers entered , It is really an act of having no father and no king. Following the orders of the general of the Dufufu, we broke through Yumen Pass and captured Luo Qingyi alive to serve as a warning to others!"

For a moment, Luo Qingyi was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Shameless... shameless!"
