Chapter 457 Changes in the Situation
There is no need to go into too much detail about the power of the Temple of Light. Perhaps you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard from the sky-level warrior Yemo who fled directly to the Northern Wilderness as soon as they met. .
Jack never imagined that one day, he would actually provoke someone from the Temple of Light. So when the milky white light suddenly erupted, he was completely dumbfounded and watched helplessly as the man in black took the opportunity to break through the wall and escape. Later, after learning Homond's identity, Jack's scalp became numb! This time, it seems that the game is too big...
It can be known from the people who gathered around the academy that this Homond has a criminal record and was imprisoned for several years for being disrespectful to the temple. This time he gave a speech in front of many civilians, and by the way, he demoted the Temple of Light... In a sense, Jack's assessment at the time was right. This was clearly seeking death!
But in all conscience, Jack was really just making random comments. Because no matter how dirty and dark the interior of the Temple of Light is, it is still very bright and holy on the surface. All clergy have a compassionate and loving face when they appear in front of believers. But Jack and the others encountered this extremely dark side. The clergy were killing dissidents because of their faith! And it can be seen from the other men in black who are not cultivating the fighting spirit of the temple that this is definitely a team that has been planning and preparing for a long time, and this will not be the first time they have done this kind of thing!
So, how many such teams are there in the Temple of Light? Are they targeting only Homond? Or is it the Gray Army whose entire belief has gone awry...
Jack didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think further. The only thing he was sure of now was that they had indeed broken through the Temple of Light, and they would face endless pursuit...
What a tragedy!
…………
Of course, Tang En, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea that his sister and damaged friend were taking the same path of seeking death as him, and they were getting deeper and deeper into it. He has now arrived at the Cangyan Defense Zone and is thinking that something is wrong with the atmosphere here.
Tap tap tap...
At the city gate, Tang En and the others, who had just arrived, were told by the city defenders to wait aside. Then they saw large groups of Cang Yan soldiers wearing standard armor entering the town in front of them.
The expressions of all the soldiers were solemn, the dull sound of their footsteps on the ground was like war drums, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn!
"This... seems a little wrong?" David touched his chin and looked at the seemingly endless Cangyan soldiers in the distance, wondering.
"Could it be that the barbarians are coming... It shouldn't be." Tang En also frowned when he saw this, "Didn't we ask when we came here? The barbarian army here is slow to attack. Although the battle situation in Cangyan's defense zone is also passive, it is not difficult. ah."
"Then what is going on right now? We have never seen such large-scale mobilization in the Thunder Legion defense area."
"Wait a moment, Brother Frey has already gone over to inquire... Oh, he's back!"
While they were discussing, Frey, who had just gone to inquire about the city defenders, had already walked back, with an equally solemn look on his face, and said: "The situation has changed. The barbarian army here a few days ago changed their previous steady and steady strategy, acting like a madman. They will also advance across the board and violently attack all the military strongholds in the Cang Yan Legion's defense area. Well, it is said that more than ten towns have been captured in front of them, and there are countless checkpoints... The Cang Yan Legion seems to be a little unable to hold on."
"Hiss..." After hearing this shocking news, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. Licking his lips, Thin Monkey looked a little bitter, "Mom, what's going on! Is it popular for lunatics to be coaches in Beihuang nowadays? Or has the lunatic we met before been transferred here?"
"The devil knows this, he's crazy!"
"The opponent's coach is not a lunatic." Frey shook his head and said solemnly, "This is a strategic decision that was planned before, and it is a masterstroke! It has been more than half a year since the Northern Wilderness tribe launched the war. They are in Thunder The legion has been fighting fiercely, while the Cangyan legion is slowly advancing. It seems that the barbarians on the Thunder legion have achieved greater results, but in fact it is because the barbarian army here has been holding back and accumulating strength. , now that they have been accumulating for more than half a year, they have an absolutely solid defense, so they launched this violent attack that seemed risky but actually had no worries at all!"
Freiburn is a talented general and has no shortage of strategic vision. Now combined with the previous situation and the current situation, the opposite effect is the cause, and it is natural to quickly judge the strategic purpose of the opponent's coach that has been hidden.
"Crack!" He hammered his palm, and Tang En couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard this. He had heard that Sethman was in Cangyan's defense zone before, and he was a little happy in his heart. Because the fighting here is not fierce, as long as you can find the opponent, there will definitely be many opportunities to take action. But now the war situation here has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, and the situation has changed suddenly. The desire to target and assassinate Sethman has undoubtedly added some uncontrollable factors.
Frey knew what Tang En was thinking, so he patted Tang En on the shoulder and comforted him: "Let's talk about it first in the city. Our gray-clothed army's deputy general who is stationed in the Cang Yan Legion is in this city, and he should be able to get some news. "
"Huh... I hope so." Tang En let out a long sigh and nodded helplessly.
After a while, these Cang Yan soldiers who hurriedly came from the rear finally entered the city to set up defenses. Tang En and the others immediately followed into the city, made some inquiries, and went straight to the headquarters of the Gray Army here.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the Gray Army's reinforcements on the front line. After arriving here, they were naturally dispersed and distributed to various war zones. After all, if such a force that is not completely under control and is not weak gathers in a strategic location, no one will be reassured.
However, just as Bran does not trust the Gray Army, the Gray Army also lacks trust in Bran. Therefore, in order to prevent Bran from maliciously sending his soldiers as cannon fodder, the Gray Army has a high-ranking officer with a high status in each defense zone to be responsible for supervision and coordination. Now there is such a gray-clothed deputy general in this important military city in front of us, which is why Tang En and the others went straight here.
Of course, there is only one headquarters, and the deputy general of the gray army works together with Bran's city guard officer. After Tang En and the others arrived and explained their intention, they were taken aside by a Cangyan soldier to ask for registration so that they could make a report.
"Name?"
"Frey."
"Team formation."
"Bran formed a new army and broke the camp with spears."
"Lance...uh, Commander Frey! Salute!"
…
There may be many names for Frey, but when you add the spear to break the camp, it becomes clear. Obviously, the soldiers here have also heard the sensational rumors about ten days ago.
The military attaches great importance to overall collaboration and discipline, but this does not mean that they do not welcome the birth of heroes. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this that the soldiers particularly admire those heroic figures who single-handedly turn the tide of the entire war. So even when the soldiers of the Cang Yan Legion learned that the man in front of them was Frey who led more than a thousand people to defeat the bloodthirsty lions and wild wolf riders, and was able to escape smoothly from tens of thousands of barbarians, they immediately got up in a hurry. Salute excitedly.
After a little fussing, Frey, who looked a little embarrassed and stunned, was asked to sit on a chair. A soldier rushed out to report, and the remaining few people served tea cups to entertain him. The treatment was definitely unique among the gray-clad army, and even the deputy general stationed here might not enjoy it.
However, Frey seemed very unnatural, especially after seeing the scorching gazes of those Cangyan soldiers, and the winking eyes of Tang En, Slender Monkey and others beside him, he felt even more uneasy.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long. After a few hearty laughs, a burly middle-aged man wearing high-end armor walked in and looked around quickly: "Haha, our battalion Commander Frey who has done extraordinary things. Where?"
Obviously, this burly middle-aged man is the deputy general of the gray-clothed army who is stationed here. After hearing the laughter, Frey had already stood up first, but he did not expect that the deputy general would come out to greet him in person. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Frey has seen the general with a spear that breaks the camp."
After returning the military salute, the deputy general grabbed Frey's arm tightly: "Haha, I've heard of you at the station before. You have shown great success in the imaginary war, but you have defeated the gang of my subordinates. But I didn't expect it. After you came here, you turned out to be even more amazing! Okay, okay, okay..."
"The general is so complimentary, Frey really doesn't dare to take this comment seriously." After a few wry smiles, Frey glanced at Tang En, who was gloating over his misfortune, with deep resentment.
Probably seeing Frey's gaze, the deputy general also turned his head, and then his eyes were fixed on the black armor on Tang En's left chest. The domineering dagger penetrated the skull symbol, and he asked in surprise: "Eh, Tang En?"
Tang En's face was really ordinary, a standard popular face that could be easily forgotten after just one glance. However, the symbol in the gray space was really conspicuous, but he was recognized by the deputy general.
Seeing this, Tang En had no choice but to step forward and salute: "Tang En has met the general."
"Okay, okay." Tang En's status in the Gray Army is quite special. He does not belong to the military system, but he can still have a pleasant conversation with the old Marshal Oumeng. Naturally, the lieutenant general would not show off, and returned a salute. Then he looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile, "The spear breaks the camp, the gray space. Haha, no wonder, no wonder he can achieve such jaw-dropping military exploits!" After a pause, he scanned. A few Cang Yan soldiers raised their ears and heard, "Well, let's go first. Let's go to my place and have a good chat."
"Yes, General."
After leaving here, Shouhou and others stayed outside, and the deputy general led Frey and Tang En towards his headquarters.
On the way, after a few words of greeting, Tang En and Frey looked at each other, and finally Frey took the opportunity to say: "General, we would like to review the battle situation intelligence collected here later so that we can choose the next battle location and ask the general for approval. "
Choosing a place to fight is false, but searching for any information about Seisman is true. However, this matter is of great importance, and even the lieutenant general cannot talk about it.
The deputy general frowned when he heard this: "What else do we have to choose? Wouldn't it be better to stay here? You must have seen it when you came here. The battle situation here is very chaotic now."
Hearing this, Frey shook his head and replied: "Thank you, General, for your concern, but we already discussed this when we came here. We are all restless people, and defending the city is really not what we are good at."
After such evasion, the deputy general saw that Tang En and Frey were determined to go out to fight, so he had no choice but to give up with a sigh.
