Chapter 476 Genius, Monster (5,000 Words)
Happy people are all alike, but unfortunate people are each unhappy in their own way!
Just when Tang En had to flee to the Northern Wilderness, there was also a tragic person who was about to cross the Bran border and retreat to the Northern Wilderness. .The same thing is that both are forced. The difference is that Tang En retreated to the Northern Wilderness to seek death, while he returned home, or rather to his hometown...
The armor was broken, the helmet was crooked, and the usual calmness and calmness were gone. All Angelos had now was embarrassment and confusion. Even from the attack last night to now, my mind has been in a state of confusion.
Around him, the five thousand barbarians who were originally brought out were now only a thousand remnant soldiers with frightened faces, dragging iron bars backwards, and their morale was low.
"Marshal, marshal..." After calling several times, Angelos turned his head blankly. A low-level barbarian officer stood in front of him and lowered his head to report, "Marshal, we have arrived at the Bran border."
"Oh..." Angelos nodded subconsciously after hearing this, and then he came back to his senses a little. Looking at the low-level officer in front of him, his expression darkened again.
If it had been in the past, the middle-aged lieutenant standing in front of him now would have been the middle-aged lieutenant general who always accompanied him. But in last night's battle, in order to cover his escape, the lieutenant put on the marshal's armor and fought to the death, trapped in a tight siege...
"Huh..." After all, he was an experienced commander who was used to seeing life and death. Taking a deep breath, Angelos quickly woke up from his negative emotions. He looked up at the Bran border wall not far away and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, the low-ranking officer boldly said: "Marshal, how about I send someone to call in some troops from around? With this tall city wall, we may not be able to defend it!"
Shaking his head, "It's too late... And even if enough people can be mobilized in a short time, this city wall can't withstand the weird artillery fire last night..." At this point, Angelos seemed to recall something, The wrinkled cheeks covered with age spots couldn't help but twitch a few times, feeling both pain and fear.
Last night, because he knew the route, he expected the Ziyi army to arrive at about this time. After dinner, Angelos sat in the middle of the army and waited for the news. At the same time, he was also silently calculating in his mind the possible variables in the plan, whether there were loopholes in the ambush circle, how Zi Yi would respond, etc.
After all the calculations, An Shuai couldn't help but feel relieved. There is a dense encirclement of tens of thousands of soldiers in front, with no loopholes. There are five thousand of his troops stationed in the rear, waiting for opportunities to reinforce everywhere. No matter how you look at it, it is a heaven and earth, and there is no chance of failure! But all the careful arrangements fell apart instantly after the sound of a cannon shot from behind.
Ziyi didn't come from the front... but somehow got around to their side and rear, and successfully formed a surprise attack! Then everything was turned upside down. The tens of thousands of heavy troops piled up in the front were completely turned into decorations. The five thousand barbarians in the rear were instantly plunged into chaos under the constant exploding artillery fire.
Angelos had tried to organize some troops to counterattack, but instead it became an important focus of the opponent's fierce artillery fire. Under several rounds of earth-shaking explosions, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and even his position was exposed.
Angelos still can't figure out what the artillery fire is about. He is very familiar with Bran's large and small ordnance, even more familiar than Bran's quartermaster. But even if he tried hard, he couldn't think of any kind of heavy equipment that could be easily transported to this mountainous area. And to take a step back, even if Zi Yi used manpower to carry the Thunder God's Roar over, it would be absolutely impossible to turn the muzzle of the gun in an instant and bombard it with almost all-round artillery fire!
The army was defeated like a mountain! Even before they saw anyone coming from the other side, the five thousand barbarians were completely stunned by the artillery fire that came from nowhere and where it would explode. Angelos himself was thrown into the ravine by a wave of air and almost lost his life. Then when the accompanying guards pulled him up and climbed up, the artillery fire finally stopped, and the other party also launched a general attack...
Then, there were fires all over the mountains and plains, corpses of warriors with missing limbs, black-armored soldiers like a dark torrent, blood splattered in the air, screams and noises... It was like a nightmare!
"Marshal, marshal..." Seeing Angelos startled again, the junior officer shouted uneasily.
"Huh? Oh..." Angelos stretched out his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. He concentrated hard and opened his eyes for a moment, "Give me the order and the team will continue to move forward across the city wall."
"yes!"
"Also, send people around, give me the fastest time to reach Xiongguan City, and ask Tiu to evacuate quickly! Well, that's all, let's go."
"yes!"
Ziyi did not follow the original route and ran into the encirclement, and even made a sneak attack here. Angelos could naturally tell that something was wrong with Ralph, so thinking further, there should be a trap in Xiongguan City!
Of course, if this is the case, with Ziyi's terrifying methods, it is undoubtedly too late for someone to notify Tiu now. But Tiu's status was special. No matter what, Angelos had to give it a try, even if it was just to make a gesture, so that he could explain it to the Queen of the Northern Wilderness in the future.
Clear your mind and make sure you haven’t missed anything anymore. Angelos took a deep breath, turned his head and looked back, his face solemn. snort! Zi Yi, you won this time. However, Xiongguan City was destroyed and thousands of civilians perished in the flames. I want to see how you explain it to Bran? Well, that's right, you must be thinking now that you can only make up for your guilt by killing me...
Ziyi, follow me into the Northern Wilderness, I will keep you even if you risk your life!
…
Angelos expected it well. In fact, Tiu was already in a dilemma before he was attacked.
The fire in Xiongguan City burned for several days and nights, and when it calmed down a little, it was completely in ruins. Also falling were tens of thousands of civilian nobles who were originally in the city. Regarding this matter, the two coaches Cang Yan and Thunder Legion adopted the same strategy and tried their best to block the news. However, a few days later, the blockade was completely broken, and news of the fall of Xiongguan City spread throughout the world.
But just when the civilians of Bran were in disbelief and the city behind the Zichen defense zone was in panic. More than 100,000 soldiers from the four major lords appeared like divine soldiers descending from the sky, forcing Tiu, who wanted to continue to attack the hinterland of Bran, back into the ruins of Xiongguan City.
It is undeniable that the soldiers of the four major lords are a bit inferior, but with a hundred thousand soldiers surrounded by eight thousand, with such a disparity in strength, they are naturally more than enough. At the same time, Zichen's army also quietly took over four satellite cities. In this way, Tiu's escape path was undoubtedly cut off.
You can't go in, you can't go back. What's even worse is that Xiongguan City has been destroyed by Tiwu himself, and it's impossible to even defend it. There is no doubt that this is a real military base. If there are no accidents, Tiu and the eight thousand barbarians will be completely annihilated here...
With their lives saved and no need to face the flames of war, the civilians in the north of Bran naturally heaved a long sigh of relief. Immediately after the war situation quickly reversed, some people gradually figured out something.
The Zichen Army announced reinforcements for the Cangyan defense zone, Xiongguan City was destroyed, the soldiers of the four major lords appeared inexplicably, and the Zichen Army quickly turned around after the city was broken... Such careful calculations, step after step, one link within another, except Who else would Ziyi be?
After understanding this, Zi Yi, who was previously regarded as a god by everyone, immediately became the target of a curse. This is the truth. No matter what Zi Yi's plan is, using the lives of thousands of civilians, the battle situation of thousands of miles of front lines, and the safety of the entire north to carry out cruel tricks is definitely a heinous crime... Besides, what kind of goal can it be? Can you afford such a price to kill the barbarian coach? Or kill the Queen of the Northern Wilderness? Isn’t this nonsense? If we could really do this, would we still have to wait until today...
For a time, various opinions were rampant. However, today's front line is really troubled. An unexpected incident suddenly broke out, which instantly drew the attention of some well-informed people and shocked them!
It is said that more than a dozen important figures from the Temple of Light died tragically on the battlefield! Among them were the cardinal auxiliary bishop, the four-party inspector, several great deacons of light, three holy knight captains, and several low-level clergy...
Such news is undoubtedly shocking to the point of jaw-dropping, and even if status is not mentioned, these are three earth-level warriors and six great magicians! Such a loss of combat power, no matter which group it belongs to, is a huge loss that can cause three earthquakes.
Moreover, a big shot like the old coach Cang Yan also knows some unknown situations. The Cangyan soldiers who were charging down the canyon were the first to realize that something was wrong. What they saw were clearly the physiques of some Bran people, and what they heard was the pure Bran accent!
If so, then this thing is a little strange. How could the Bran people attack the clergy of the Temple of Light? Or is it a private fight within the temple... Of course, this matter involves the Temple of Light after all, and even the old coach Cang Yan doesn't want to get too involved. In the end, they just ordered people to collect intelligence and temporarily moved the relevant soldiers to the rear, waiting for the people from the temple to solve the problem on their own. Or, when the Xia Wei'an who chased her comes back, the truth will naturally come to light.
But old coach Cang Yan doesn’t know that the so-called ‘truth’ is actually right under his nose...
After being blocked by tens of thousands of Cangyan soldiers and knowing that it was impossible to catch up with the boss, David and others immediately turned back to fight with Frey who was at the checkpoint. When they met, David did not hide anything and told Frey the truth about the previous situation.
Hearing that this matter was so big, Frey was also shocked and speechless for a long time. But now that things have happened, it is useless to say anything. After some discussion, everyone finally decided to stay at this level for now. First of all, it's a full set of acting. If you come and leave at such a sensitive time, you will inevitably arouse suspicion. Secondly, I also want to wait for Tang En to return...
…
The sight was drawn to the north, all the way to the north, until——Northern Wasteland!
Strictly speaking, the two things that caused uproar in the rear were directly or indirectly related to Tang En, but he was too busy to take care of himself right now, so naturally he would not think about it in a boring way.
After running out of the Bran border and entering the Northern Wasteland, there was no special change in the landscape. This barbaric land, which was passed down orally in Bran and described in countless books, seemed to Tang En to be similar to the desolate north of Bran, just sparse and ordinary.
However, Tang En's feeling disappeared instantly after crossing a broad mountain range. The field of vision suddenly became extremely wide. The sky was still the same color, but the clouds were almost invisible. Looking at it, the sky in the distance was like a whole piece of light blue pure crystal, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Not just the sky, but the ground as well. There are no longer mountains to be seen, only a vast expanse of vast wilderness. The weeds are yellow, just as thick as your shoes. Unknown wild flowers are dotted among them, swaying in the wind, but they have a unique charm.
"Haha..." He raised his head and laughed. This scene made Tang En, who had seen the reinforced concrete and cold buildings of the world, suddenly feel much more comfortable. The scholar immediately possessed him, and first he jumped up and roared boldly, "Beep... …”
The sharp sound penetrates the clouds and shocks everyone!
Then he touched his chin for a while and opened his arms: "The sea, you are all water... the horse, you have four legs... the grassland, you are all hairy... Bah, bah, bah, the rhythm seems a bit wrong... Heavy Come again!"
I thought about it again, and for a moment, I looked up at the sky, then looked down at the weeds beside my feet... Finally I scratched my hair, with a constipated expression on my face, "Hey, I'm not a professional, holding a dagger and holding a The gap between pen barrels is too big!" After shaking his head, Tang En reluctantly gave up his original idea and smacked his lips, "Okay, okay, then I'll plagiarize a song! Well, no one will come to sue me for infringement anyway. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk , what should I copy..."
He nodded his forehead, still a little troubled. Unfortunately, Tang En is just a scumbag who dropped out of a third-rate university. He knows a lot about some curious things, but he doesn't remember anything serious. At this moment, I couldn’t even think of the content of the glorious nine-year compulsory education.
Finally, when Tang En pulled his hair for the third time, he suddenly remembered a song and suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Wow, haha, I thought of it, I am such a genius... Ahem, eh!"
He coughed a few times, moistened his throat, and opened his arms again for a hug, "The sky is blue, the fields are vast, the wind blows and the grass is low... your mother!" The singing like a broken gong suddenly stopped, and he turned around suddenly, and saw several girls. Xia Wei'an, who was a hundred meters away with a murderous look on her face, rushed towards her.
All the leisure and elegance disappeared in an instant. Except for the loud swearing, Tang En ran forward without saying a word.
The pursuit has been going on for several days. It is undoubtedly a very hurtful thing for a man to be chased away by a woman. But if this woman's name is Xia Wei'an, then everything will be easier to explain.
It was not that Tang En had resisted, although assassination was impossible because of the brand of light magic on his body. But Tang En is not the Amon he used to be, and his strength has been improving by leaps and bounds. But after several head-to-head confrontations, Tang En had to admit that Xia Wei'an's current strength was indeed a step above him. This woman is indeed a so-called genius warrior in this world.
Of course, when Xia Wei'an looked at Tang En's back in front of her, that's what she was thinking!
This is not the first time that Xia Wei'an has fought against Tang En. In fact, if you count, they have faced off twice. The first time was when she first arrived on the top of the mountain in the north. At that time, the opponent was not her enemy at all and could be easily knocked away. The second time, at a banquet where she faced Dawu, the master of the wild cult, Tang En gave Xia Wei'an a great shock. She found that she could no longer easily win over him, and the two sides were even able to fight to a draw in a short period of time. The final outcome of that disaster banquet undoubtedly illustrates this point. When she was killing Dawu, the other party made a trick and directly shattered the divine grace armor on her body...
Now, this is the third time she has fought against him! Although it was a bit unbelievable, Xia Wei'an had to admit in her heart that the opponent's current strength was on the same level as hers. Although from a head-on confrontation, she can indeed hold down the opponent, but if she is not careful and makes a small mistake during the battle, then the opponent will definitely have the ability to kill her!
And you must know that these changes have only occurred in the past year or so! It can be said that in Tang En's heart, Xia Wei'an is a genius. So in Xia Wei'an's mind, Tang Enze is an out-and-out monster!
…
no! No matter what, he must be killed this time... Thinking of Tang En's improvement in strength, Xia Wei'an couldn't help but feel a little jealous and afraid. At the same time, I secretly made up my mind that no matter what the cost of this trip, I must kill the opponent and nip the danger in the bud!
While he was galloping, Tang En didn't know that Xia Wei'an behind him had already decided to kill him. He looked at the boundless grassland around him and couldn't help but frown. Needless to say, it is undoubtedly not conducive to escape from such an unobstructed terrain where one can see for miles at a glance.
Huh, is it really necessary to run until a person collapses from exhaustion? Shaking his head helplessly, while running, Tang En tried to persuade others with his virtue, "I say beauty, if we keep running like this, we will have a lot of fun... Now, don't say that I threaten you. If you are discovered by the barbarians, I will still Good point. At most, you are just a Bran, and you can't attract much hatred. But you are from the Temple of Light and quite famous. How can the people of the Savage Cult let you go after getting the news? Tsk, tsk, woman, the result of being captured Have you ever thought about it..."
This is a fact. The relationship between the Temple of Light and the Savage Cult is incompatible. Because of the issue of faith, the hatred between the two sides is much greater than that of the Bran Empire and the Northern Wilderness Tribe. As long as they meet, it will definitely be a matter of life and death immediately!
It can be said that as soon as Xia Wei'an's whereabouts are exposed, the Savage Cult will never let go of the temptation to capture the Knight Flower of the Temple of Light alive!
"Don't worry, even if the time comes, I will kill you the moment before!" Xia Wei'an looked unmoved and replied coldly.
Still saying earnestly: "Don't... Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape."
"It doesn't matter!"
"Oh, isn't this not worth it?"
"God said that it is still our responsibility to purify heretics, even if our bodies are shattered to pieces!"
Touching his forehead, Tang En grinned as if he had a toothache: "When you open your mouth, God says, when you close your mouth, God says. God is your uncle, and you listen to him so much..."
"No! God is the father of my believer's children, and we should serve God as our Lord!"
"..." He opened his mouth, his face speechless. Then he raised his thumb and said, "You win! Huh... I hate trying to reason with a big-breasted and brainless woman like you..."
