Chapter 525 The Dust of History

The bleak sky that is always pale in color and the occasional few stray clouds are all delusions. The mountain road was also winding and winding, which made the carriage ride quite unstable. The bounce on the back made Tang En feel a little uncomfortable.

I have long been tired of looking at this bleak sky, but I passively lay on the carriage platform, and there is really no other viewing angle. With a slight sigh, Tang En twisted his body and changed into a comfortable position. A few traces of imperceptible blood disappeared behind his back.

Or not……

The various special effects of blood are there, whether it is penetration, defense breaking, etc., there is absolutely no problem. But it is undoubtedly unrealistic to use this to forcefully break open the cocoon-like cold iron chains. So Tang En has recently been working hard to learn a new skill in the system - Empty Blood Blade!

Since there is no weapon assistance, then create one out of thin air!

Tang En's idea is undoubtedly correct, and the skill of the Void Blood Blade can also achieve such an effect. But the key problem now is that this skill is not easy to learn, at least it cannot be mastered quickly by improvising. Tang En had been thinking about it from last night to this morning, but he still couldn't figure it out. He can barely condense the blood into a knife shape, but that would be a complete death by exposure to light, let alone cutting the chains. It would be a blessing to be able to maintain it for a few seconds...

No, it's gone again!

Melancholy... Shaking his head, Tang En turned his attention to the caravan masters who were traveling with him beside the car, thinking that perhaps finding another way would be the best option.

In fact, Tang En knew well that system skills were never difficult to learn. According to the usual training time for new skills, it would take more than half a month to fully master the Void Blood Blade, and that was under the premise of a great opportunity.

But in this current situation, although I have no worries about my life because of the jade pendant, it is only temporary. These people are not slow. When they reach their destination, if they really have to take out the other half of the jade pendant, then their situation will not be good. Say what Zi Yi told you, and you will probably be silenced afterwards. If you don't tell me, you will be tortured continuously. What a tragedy...

Thinking of this, Tang En licked his dry lips and became more determined to escape as soon as possible. And with his current situation, it is naturally impossible to escape and rely solely on self-reliance. He can only focus on these barbarians...

In fact, based on his observations during this period, the group that looked like a small caravan in front of him was obviously a little abnormal.

First of all, no matter whether it is Beihuang or Bran, no small caravan will have so many expert guards. Furthermore, I have never heard that the leader of that small caravan could mobilize tens of thousands of troops and deploy them well!

Tsk tsk, it’s not like he met a member of the royal family who was out for fun, it’s all written like this in novels and books... Tang En smacked his lips, thinking this.

The most direct flaw that can be seen in such a team seems to be the two women with low strength. One of them, named Sydney, seemed to be a maid character, and it would be useless if she was held hostage. another one……

Tang En stood up slightly and looked at Lansha not far away, grinning. His intuition told him that it was best not to provoke this woman easily if it was not necessary!

"Huh..." Lying down again, Tang En let out a long, depressed breath. I secretly complained in my heart that TV dramas about brain-dead people are really unreliable. The protagonist was arrested and was able to successfully escape through seduction, bribery, and even the use of urine. Isn't this obviously nonsense...

…

Just when Tang En was thinking about the escape strategy, the speed of the convoy gradually slowed down, and then he heard that Andre, who was quite unfriendly to him, was asking for instructions, using standard Bran words... Well, From this point, we can also see that this caravan is not normal.

As for what was said, Tang En couldn't hear clearly clearly. It seemed that the team's food was not enough and they needed to find a nearby place to replenish it...

Sure enough, the convoy soon turned west and entered a medium-sized tribe.

Only then did Tang En realize that the goods on the carriages beside him were all children's toys, which was quite incredible.

After entering the tribe, an oilcloth tent was set up around the carriage where Tang En was. Lansha and the others obviously didn't want him, a Bran, to be exposed to the people of the Northern Wilderness, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. And Tang En himself naturally didn't want to be exposed, so he sat in the carriage very honestly.

After finding the open space, several carriages blocked the front, revealing many toys of different shapes, and the stalls began to be set up.

Tang En's carriage was surrounded inside and parked at the corner of two stone houses in a relatively hidden location. A dozen or so meters away, some caravan masters kept wandering around, seemingly wandering around with nothing to do, but they locked all the areas around the carriage, obviously to prevent Tang En from suddenly going crazy.

However, it is naturally impossible for Tang En to cause any trouble now. Lansha will not kill him because of the jade pendant, but if he falls into the hands of other barbarians, the outcome will be hard to say...

Because of the oilcloth, Tang En's vision was completely dark. However, I could clearly hear the noise outside, mostly the screams of children, mixed with the shouts of bargaining, and it was very lively. Among them, a familiar hoarse sound came intermittently nearby.

"Buy more food and drinks, pickled ones are the best... The price doesn't matter, the speed has to be fast, we need to get back as soon as possible..."

Is it that woman? Tang En raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Hi, Lansha, how's the business?"

There was a sudden pause in the conversation outside. After a while, half of the inner oilcloth was lifted, and the light came in. Lansha, holding a long wooden box in his hand, approached the car with a calm expression: "General. What's the matter?"

"It's okay, we're just chatting." He responded casually and glanced at the long wooden box and the exploding fruit held by Lan Sha in his right hand. Tang En couldn't help but grin, "Don't be like this...relax, don't make everything difficult." Every time I speak, it’s as if I’m going to risk my life to blow up a bunker.”

"The bunker... what is that?" Lansha didn't pay attention to Tang En's joking tone, or maybe she really had nothing to do right now. She casually leaned against the side of the carriage, just blocking the view of outsiders.

"Well, it's a kind of defensive military building. It looks a bit like the current carriage that is surrounded on all sides, with only a hole exposed. People inside can hit the outside, but people outside can't hit the inside."

"Bran has this kind of military building?" Lan Sha frowned slightly when he heard this, but pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head immediately, "It's flashy! Even if the soldiers inside are archers, they can only shoot a few rounds of arrows before they are charged by the cavalry. Passively beaten!"

"Uh...yeah, haha..." That's because there are no machine guns here. Otherwise, why don't you let the cavalry charge? Tang En smiled, looking a little noncommittal.

But it was undeniable that Tang En was a little shocked at this time. In just a few seconds, Lan Sha in front of him could see the limitations of the bunker in the cold weapon era. This was not the quick thinking that ordinary people, or even ordinary generals, could possess. Sharp eyes...

Seemingly sensing Tang En's disapproval, Lansha pursed his lips and said, "The wisdom of you Bran people cannot be underestimated, and you have produced many geniuses. For example, the amazing alchemy items - the Thunder God series, are absolutely incredible. But at the same time, there are even more fools. The Bran border, which stretches thousands of miles and consumes countless manpower and material resources, but has no effect on us at all, is proof of this!"

"That is indeed an extremely stupid idea. But aside from that, it is a fact that your centuries-long invasion has not made any progress, isn't it?" Don't get me wrong, Tang En is not interested in the hatred between Bran and the Northern Wilderness at all. . The reason why I continue to talk about Lansha's topic now is just to learn more about this difficult opponent. Once you decide to run away, you won't be so passive.

"Invasion? Fact?" Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Lan Sha's lips, "Haha, the facts have long been buried in the dust of history!"

After a pause, his tone was a little hasty, "I know how you Bran people describe the Northern Wilderness. It's nothing more than desolate and desolate, barren mountains and rivers! I also know how you Bran people describe us. It's nothing more than ignorance, savagery, cruelty and violence. Yes, these are the basics They are all correct, and we all admit them.”

He spread his hands and said, "Look, although this is not a glorious thing, at least we dare to admit it. And what about you Bran? Hey, have you heard of it in Beacon City?"

"Beacon City?" Tang En was slightly stunned when he heard this somewhat familiar name, and then realized that it was the city he had passed by when he was hunted down by Samp and Oliver. He still remembered that Samp killed him in the center of the city. many people……

"Looking at you, you seem to know. Well, don't you feel confused? Why is there such a fortress that is obviously for military purposes in the northern hinterland of Bran where there are no weapons?"

"Why?" Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling really curious. Because the Fenghuo City is just like what Lan Sha said. The city wall is seven to eight feet tall and is made of solid black rocks. It really does not look like an inland city, but like a military city close to the border.

"The reason is very simple." Lan Sha's expression became more sarcastic, "Because about three hundred years ago, Beacon City was a frontline city, which was the separation point between Bran and Beihuang. Haha, you said it was our tribe Invasion, all the Bran people are talking about Horde invasion. But in fact, it is you Bran who have been invading!"

Tang En opened his mouth and was a little shocked. He is not from Bran, so after hearing this, the first thing in his mind was not to question or refute. On the contrary, with the clear sense of an onlooker, Tang En actually believed that the facts were exactly what Lan Sha said. Otherwise, the situation in Beacon City is really hard to explain...

"Of course, I know very well and understand that as the law of the jungle eats the strong, those who fall behind will naturally be beaten. There is nothing to say about this." The slightly hurried tone gradually calmed down. Lansha raised his chin slightly and looked at Tang En's cold and proud expression. "But one day, we will get back everything that belongs to us! And everything that belongs to you!"

…

For a moment, bang bang... Tang En clapped his hands under Lan Sha's somewhat puzzled eyes and nodded: "I hope your wish will come true."

Frowning her brows, Lan Sha looked at Tang En steadily for a while and narrowed her eyes: "Provocation? Or flattery?"

"If it's the former, although it's irritating, he's still a tough guy. If it's the latter, I will despise you!"

"Uh..." Touching his nose, Tang En couldn't help but feel speechless. What to say? I'm not from this world. The one you beat up has nothing to do with me?

After struggling for a while, he finally had to spread his hands and smile bitterly, "Can't I just express my sincere wishes? You have to allow neutral people to exist."

"Sometimes neutrality is a kind of betrayal!" Lansha said calmly, "But if that's the case, it's not bad news for me. You know, I once thought about recruiting you in the Forbidden Valley."

"Uh, do you also recruit people you despise?"

"Personality has nothing to do with strength. I don't appreciate it, but that doesn't mean I can't use it."

Tang En nodded and smiled: "Haha, what about now? Are you still recruiting? I can rebel..."

Shaking his head bluntly, "No, I don't dare to use you. Because you don't have a word of truth, including what you said just now."

Hitting the back of his head with a wooden board, Tang En looked helpless: "Uh... don't be like this, I am a devout believer, I can swear to the God of Light, I can really rebel..."

"Mr. Arthur, as far as I know, you were chased by people from the Temple of Light not long ago."

"Ahem... accident, it was just a little accident..." The words were revealed as soon as they were spoken. Tang En, who was so shameless, was also a little embarrassed. He wished he could break his hands out of the chains and touch them. nose.

At this time, a figure was printed upside down on the side of the inner wall, which meant that someone came over: "Captain, we have bought everything, enough for us to get to the imperial city."

Oh, it's the one named Andre. Tang En has always been good at remembering surnames. Not to mention the unlucky guy who ruined a good thing when he first woke up, he can actually name most people in the small caravan now. To gather intelligence, sometimes all you need is a pair of ears with normal hearing. But, the imperial city? ? ?

Listening to the destination of this group of people, Tang En couldn't help but be a little shocked. Lansha on the side nodded slightly: "Well, let everyone clean up the stall and get ready to go."

"Okay." Andre responded, but did not move, and his tone was a little hesitant, "Captain, when I was shopping just now, I walked around the tribe and found that thousands of warriors of the tribe were concentrated in the east, west, and south of the perimeter. Three directions, like...well, like surrounded."

"Huh?" Lansha frowned slightly when he heard this, "What's going on?"

Andre shook his head: "I don't know. I asked around and found that the people in the tribe didn't know either."

Lan Sha frowned even more, and then said, "Ha, maybe we are preparing to hunt, or maybe the tribe next door suddenly came over." There was another careless voice. This time Tang En didn't see anyone, but looking at this wall Looking at the sharply curved reflection, there is no doubt that it is Nasini.

"Well, it's possible..." Andre was a little unsure.

"No matter what it is, just leave as soon as possible." Lansha gave the decisive order after pondering for a while. Then he frowned and dispersed, feeling a little self-deprecating in his confusion. Who in the entire Northern Wilderness dared to go against him?

…

Immediately after the order was given, the stalls in front were quickly evacuated, some toys on display were also transported back to the carriage, and the oilcloth was re-opened and sealed.

At this time, Lansha had already left the carriage where Tang En was sitting, but the half-opened curtain of the carriage was not lowered. Tang En was half-leaning, sticking his head out slightly, and looking at everything outside.

Tsk, the business is really average, not much has been sold...but those plush toys are good materials for disguise, and they should be useful when escaping...Well, the imperial city they just mentioned was the Northern Wasteland Imperial City? I don't know how far it is from here...

Tang En was busy with his wild thoughts. He didn't have any other ideas at the moment. Escape also requires timing, and it was obviously not suitable now.

"Huh?" At this moment, Tang En's body suddenly tensed up, and a faint chill passed through his heart. Then he slowly relaxed, his expression as usual, but his peripheral vision glanced at some nook and cranny in his sight.

Damn, something's not right... Tang En's eyesight is very good, and he is an expert at hiding and ambushing. After just a few glances, it was basically confirmed that some people were slowly surrounding him.

However, although he knew that someone had evil intentions, Tang En was a little surprised for a moment, not knowing who the other party's target was. Could it be you? Well, as a fake Bran, it is indeed easy to attract hatred here, but one thing does not make sense. If the other party discovers his identity, he can just come out and denounce him openly. There is no need to engage in such sneaky behavior.

Are those Lansha and the others? It's also a bit strange. Their status is obviously not low, and they can even mobilize tens of thousands of barbarians at will. Who dares to stroke the tiger's beard? Besides, what is the purpose of the other party doing this? Grab this cart of toys? Isn't this ridiculous...

Just when Tang En was thinking about various possibilities and judging whether there was a good opportunity to escape in the chaos,

Tap tap tap... In front of the left side of the motorcade, a group of about dozens of people strode forward. The middle-aged barbarian man at the head seemed to have a high status, and his face was full of excitement.

There were still several steps away, but the middle-aged barbarian already bent down to Lansha and gave him a respectful salute: "I have seen Lansha..."

Tang En didn't hear the full honorific because Lan Sha interrupted it with a wave of his hand. But it was obvious that Lansha's identity was not as simple as he imagined.

What happened next was almost like a low-level official seeing an imperial envoy. The middle-aged barbarian's waist was not straight, and both his expression and movements were extremely excited. On the other hand, Lan Sha had always been calm and maintained a dignified sense of distance.

Then the middle-aged barbarian kept making invitation gestures and speaking barbarian language, as if he wanted to invite Lan Sha to stay so that he could entertain him. However, Lansha didn't seem to agree and shook his head slightly to refuse.

After going back and forth, the scene was very harmonious.

But at this moment, Tang En's eyes suddenly froze and he couldn't help but open his mouth... It turned out that from his angle, he just saw a familiar dark red ray in Lansha's slightly raised palm. Uh, that exploding fruit?

The next moment, boom...

There was an explosion, figures were flying, and a cold voice instantly resounded throughout the audience: "The target tribe is in the west, rush out!"
