Chapter 1519 War
And Cangwu Kingdom is a country in the south of Gumu Kingdom. Because of the deteriorating environment of this land, the living space of Cangwu Kingdom is getting worse and worse, so they set the target on Gumu Kingdom. Relatively speaking, the environment of the Gumaku Kingdom is much better. A year ago, I finally couldn't bear it and launched an attack on the Gumaku Kingdom.
Perhaps it was the harsher environment that resulted in Cangwu Kingdom's stronger combat effectiveness, or it may be that Cangwu Kingdom was more prepared for the attack and the Mu Kingdom was unable to cope. In the past year, the Gumu country has retreated steadily, and only the area including the capital Zhengyang City and a part of the north has not yet fallen.
At this time, the army of Cangwu Kingdom had already surrounded Zhengyang City heavily.
The only gap left is this huge forest connected to the mountains. The Cangwu Kingdom did not set up troops here, but the Gumu Kingdom had to guard against it. Luoying appeared in the forest tonight to investigate the forest. Case.
Luo Ying finally believed that Ye Tian was not a spy or an ambush from Cangwu Kingdom.
After about half an hour, the forest in front of me began to thin out.
"We're going back to Zhengyang City soon," Luo Ying said, looking up at the sky.
In the dark sky ahead, a red glow appeared.
It was the lights of Zhengyang City and Cangwu Kingdom military camp outside the city reflected in the sky.
At this time, Ye Tian stopped walking.
Luo Ying who followed behind thought that Ye Tian wanted to make some changes, so she hurriedly tightened the sharp sword drawn in front of Ye Tian's neck, and said coldly:
"Go!"
"There are people around!" Ye Tian reminded lightly.
"My consciousness is blessed with special runes, and I didn't find anyone, you..." Luo Ying said confidently, but she stopped abruptly before she finished speaking, and her expression changed suddenly.
She finally noticed someone, in the surrounding forest!
He was approaching the two of them quickly!
Luo Ying immediately recognized that those people were all strong in Cangwu Kingdom, there were about dozens of them, and the weakest were all in the late Jindan stage, and many of them were in the Nascent Soul stage who were stronger than her!
In such a situation, she is very dangerous!
"Go!"
At this time, Luo Ying didn't care to delve into how Ye Tian was able to discover those people so long before her. She swiped the sharp sword from Ye Tian's neck, mobilized her spiritual energy, and accelerated towards Zhengyang City outside the forest. rush in the direction!
But in a crisis, Luo Ying knew how to pull Ye Tian up.
There was no disturbance in Ye Tian's heart, just being pulled by Luo Ying, he could easily keep up with Luo Ying's speed.
After a few breaths, dozens of monks wearing black armor appeared in the surrounding forest.
Most monks practice for greater freedom, so they are generally extremely loose.
But these monks from the Cangwu Kingdom who appeared here were not like that at all. They acted in a tacit understanding, and dozens of them together seemed to be one person, like pointing their arms.
In just a few breaths, these people easily separated and advanced, blocking Luo Ying's escape, forming a siege around the two of them.
"It's over!" Upon discovering this situation, Luo Ying's face was horrified, and despair rose in her heart.
After a few breaths, the encirclement was almost completely formed, and it was shrinking rapidly.
The people on the left have even seen Luo Ying's face clearly.
"Hahahaha, the girls from the Gumu Kingdom are pretty, with thin skin and tender flesh, unlike our rough girls!"
"Brothers, you must catch the alive!" One of the leaders shouted with a greedy look in his eyes!
"Understood, Captain!" Many powerful people from the Cangwu Kingdom agreed!
Hearing what the other party said to each other, Luo Ying's already white face was completely pale.
But she did not give up, but continued to flee in the direction of Zhengyang City!
"The front left is the opening!" At this time, Ye Tian, who was following Luo Ying, said softly in a voice that only Luo Ying could hear.
Luo Ying didn't react immediately, but then her awareness on the battlefield made her understand Ye Tian's meaning. After being reminded, she suddenly realized, and found that surrounded by many powerful men from Cangwu Kingdom, there was only one on her left. Ahead, there is a loophole to escape at this time.
The situation was urgent, and Luo Ying didn't care too much about why Ye Tian knew about it, so she hurriedly ran in that direction!
Sure enough, the next moment, the two of them managed to get rid of the siege of these people from the direction Ye Tian said!
No matter how tacitly their cooperation is, no matter how strong their execution ability is, it is only a few Nascent Soul Stages after all. The huge gap between them and Ye Tian is like the stars in the sky and the fireflies on the ground, and it is easy for Ye Tian to find this flaw.
The leader of this team of Cangwu Kingdom powerhouses immediately sensed that something was wrong and felt bad.
But it was too late, Luo Ying and Ye Tian had already escaped!
"Keep them for me, just save that woman's life!" the leader ordered with a gloomy expression.
The four men behind him rushed forward in an instant, all of them clasped their hands together, and the radiant aura spewed out from their bodies, merged and intertwined together, and turned into a sharp arrow of aura exuding white light!
The next moment, this sharp arrow of spiritual energy flew out of the string, and shot towards Luo Ying in front with a whoosh sound!
Luo Ying noticed something strange, and hurriedly turned to check, only to find that the sharp arrow of spiritual energy that locked her had already shot towards her, so fast that she couldn't dodge it at all!
Moreover, the whistling air it brought up during its flight also showed that it is not only extremely fast, but also powerful!
Seeing that the arrow was about to pierce Luo Ying's heart precisely from the back!
At this moment, a hand stretched out from the side.
The speed of this sharp arrow is as fast as lightning, from the time the strong man of Cangwu Kingdom casts it to Luo Ying's body, the time it takes is countless times faster than the blink of an eye!
But the hand that stretched out from Luo Ying's side seemed to be slow, but firmly pinched the aura arrow in his hand!
The attention of the group of Cangwu country powerhouses finally completely shifted to Ye Tian beside Luo Ying, and they were dumbfounded.
This is a terrifying formation developed by the experts of the Cangwu Kingdom. The aura arrows fired by the combination of several powerful monks are terrifyingly powerful and extremely harmful to the monks.
Basically, monks under the Void Returning cultivation level have no room to resist when facing this kind of aura arrow alone.
Even if it is above returning to the void, it will be quite embarrassing, and there is a danger of death if you are not careful.
But it was easily held by the young man!
"Could it be that this is asking about the strong man?! He can still keep the arrows of spiritual energy condensed. This is the realm of Tao!" The leader's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself in horror.
Luo Ying had given up resistance in her heart when she saw that the opponent shot an arrow of spiritual energy piercing through the air for a split second.
On this kind of battlefield, death is extremely common, and Luo Ying has long been mentally prepared.
And if she didn't go back within the fixed time, then Zhengyang City would naturally start warning in advance.
The only regret is that Cangwu Kingdom cannot be seen defeated.
Only then did she notice the movement behind her.
When she hurriedly looked back, she found that the spiritual arrow that made her feel disheartened was being held in the hands of the 'prisoner' she found in the wild, with a look of interest on her face, carefully looking at it.
Luo Ying's eyes widened in surprise.
The team leader of Cangwu Kingdom in the distance has rich experience. After the initial accident, he immediately recovered and pointed at Ye Tian coldly.
"Siege! Kill him!" the leader ordered.
Hearing the words, the dozens of strong men quickly changed their formation, and all of them gathered together, and the surrounding aura seemed to become fierce.
Under the influence of this, the snowflakes falling slowly in the surrounding world seemed to have turned into sharp blades, spinning rapidly around these dozens of people.
During the turmoil of the mighty situation, more than a dozen arrows of spiritual energy condensed out, all of them locked on Ye Tian alone, and shot towards him suddenly!
Luo Ying, who was behind Ye Tian, saw the arrows of spiritual energy flying towards her. Although she was not locked by the energy mechanism, her scalp still exploded suddenly, and the muscles on her body trembled. She couldn't move because of fear. The feeling of piercing the heart.
After taking his eyes away from the arrow in his hand, Ye Tian looked at the strong men from the Cangwu Kingdom in the distance. He could tell that these people on the other side were indeed ordinary in terms of cultivation, but their actual combat experience was incomparable. Rich and very good.
Seeing the arrows of spiritual energy shooting towards him, Ye Tian raised his right hand slightly, and threw the arrows of spiritual energy in the book back!
"boom!"
The moment the aura arrow was released from Ye Tian's hand, there was a loud noise, and with the arrow tip of the aura arrow as the center, a white cloud cluster about ten feet in radius flashed away!
This aura arrow brazenly greeted the more than ten identical aura arrows shot by Ye Tian, but it was obvious that one counted as ten, and completely suppressed the opponent!
It shot past quickly, like a horizontal tornado roaring forward!
Finally collided.
"boom!"
The fierce wind swept away, but they all rushed towards the strong men of Cangwu Kingdom!
In an instant, those dozens of people flew out backward like saplings under the huge waves, and all of them fell to the ground in embarrassment and vomiting blood.
"Lead the way!"
Here Ye Tian has already withdrawn his gaze, and walked towards Zhengyang City.
Luo Ying was still stunned in place, and turned around hurriedly after passing by Ye Tian, looking at Ye Tian's back with mixed expressions of joy and surprise in his eyes, and then looked at the hand that had been gesturing on Ye Tian's neck just now After hesitating for a moment, he obediently took back the long sword, and quickly followed.
"I thought I caught him, but it seems that he actually caught me?" Luo Ying's tone was full of doubts.
Along the way, Luo Ying became extremely silent, always secretly looking at Ye Tian.
After a while, they finally arrived at Zhengyang City.
Ye Tian raised his head slightly, looking up and down Zhengyang City.
This is indeed a majestic city, with tall black rocks piled up to form a city wall tens of feet high, covered with complicated and mysterious runes.
The city wall is full of sergeants, coming and going in an orderly manner, everyone is busy, and it sounds quite busy in the snowy night.
The city gate directly in front of it was extremely majestic, and the whole body was poured from inexplicable metal with a slight silvery white color, and it was tightly closed at this time.
After a cursory inspection of the spiritual sense, he sensed that the outer periphery of the city was covered with an invisible and huge formation.
Ye Tian estimated that even if he did it himself, it would take some time to break through the formation.
"This is the west gate of Zhengyang City, because it is facing the ice and snow forest, Cangwu Kingdom did not set up troops here before."
"The main force of my old Mukuo has basically been transferred to the other three directions. The defense here is very weak!"
Luo Ying next to him was explaining, while taking a step forward, raised his hand and lightly pinched the seal, Ye Tian felt an invisible wave float out, penetrated the formation, and floated up the city wall.
Immediately, a man stuck his head out slightly above the city wall and looked down.
"Luo Ying is back, open the door!" the man said happily.
Following the order, the heavy city gate slowly opened, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.
Luo Ying hurriedly pulled Ye Tian and walked into the city gate.
Passing through the gate about a few feet thick, there is a door opening more than ten feet long in front of it, with lights curling up on the surrounding walls.
While the gate was slowly closing behind the two, several strong men covered in armor surrounded them, pointing at Ye Tian vigilantly with the weapons in their hands.
Ye Tian glanced over and found that most of these people's cultivation bases were between the golden core stage, and many of them were late stage and peak powerhouses.
From this point of view, Luo Ying Yuanying's strength in the later stage should be relatively strong.
"What are you doing, put down your weapons!" Seeing such a battle, Luo Ying's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly.
Behind these armored sergeants, the man who was above the city gate came out.
His cultivation is also at the Nascent Soul stage, but he should be stronger than Luo Ying. He has reached the peak. He also wears armor, but his style looks a bit higher than the rest of the sergeants. He is all black and has a cloak on his back. .
The man's eyes are piercing, his skin looks rough, his face is bushy, but his eyes are sunken, his nose is straight, he is tall and majestic.
The man waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding sergeants immediately took a step back, and put down their weapons slightly, but they still kept surrounding Ye Tian.
"The situation is critical now. Luo Ying, you went to investigate outside the city and brought back an unknown person. Naturally, we can't be careless. I was ordered by General Xie to guard the city gate. If something goes wrong, I can't take responsibility." The man Looking Ye Tian up and down with scrutiny, he said coldly.
"Ming Yulong, I still have something important to report to General Xie, get out of the way!" Luo Ying said.
"It's not that I want to embarrass you, you can report to General Xie yourself, but I must take care of this person." Ming Yulong shook his head and said.
"But what I'm talking about is related to this person!" Luo Ying knew the rules in her heart, but she was more afraid of offending Ye Tian, so she was unwilling to back down.
After the final battle with the strong man from the Cangwu Kingdom, she guessed that Ye Tian might be a strong man in the Daoist period. For the Gumu Kingdom, the Daoist period is completely one of the best powerhouses, which is enough to change the outcome of this battle. An important force, if this person comes, it will definitely increase the strength of Zhengyang City.
In Luo Ying's mind, the most important thing is to go out of the city to investigate and bring back Ye Tian.
Luo Ying is familiar with Ming Yulong, and knows that Ming Yulong is not out to make things difficult, he is usually strict and rigid.
"His name is Ye Tian. He not only saved my life, but it's important. After I tell General Xie, you will understand!" Luo Ying advised.
"Luo Ying, don't embarrass me!" Ming Yulong repeated coldly, without any intention of giving in.
From Ming Yulong's point of view, Luo Ying had certain fantasies entirely because of the declining situation of the Mukuo Kingdom at this time.
Perhaps something happened during Luo Ying's time out of the city that made Luo Ying trust this guy named Ye Tian.
But this kind of trust is really illusory.
Pin the hope of winning the war on a strong man who fell from the sky and somehow helped the old curtain country?
That would be a bit too daydreaming.
Luo Ying wanted to talk, but Ming Yulong interrupted her again
"Commander Luo Ying, it's war time, and we each have military orders, so please follow the rules!" Ming Yulong's tone was already very tough.
Luo Ying showed a troubled look on his face, and looked at Ye Tian.
"Go and get busy, I'm fine." Ye Tian said to Luo Ying lightly.
Luo Ying struggled for a while, saluted Ye Tian, then gave Ming Yulong a cold look, turned around and left quickly.
Ming Yulong turned a blind eye to Luo Ying's eyes, and waved his hand to the sergeant:
"Take this person away!"
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison!
Ming Yulong led the way ahead, while turning his head to look at Ye Tian, who was calm and extraordinary among a group of heavily armed soldiers, his eyes narrowed slightly.
A group of people walked out of the city gate, circled around, and walked up the city wall from the side.
On the one hand, the overall situation is not optimistic, and on the other hand, the coming war is coming. The sergeants coming and going are all unknown, with hurried expressions, frowning, and look extremely dignified and solemn.
Most of these sergeants are in the Jindan stage, and there are very few in the Nascent Soul stage.
Under such a situation, if there is no obvious difference in the personal cultivation of the monks, it is actually not that important.
In comparison, the soldiers of the Cangwu Kingdom that Ye Tian saw outside the city were obviously superior in terms of combat quality and aura.
Of course, Ye Tian hasn't seen the real battle between the two sides yet, so it would be biased to judge the soldiers of the old Mu country based on what he saw at this time.
In short, when he came to the city wall and looked down from a high position, Ye Tian felt that the whole city seemed to be shrouded in an extremely oppressive and suffocating environment.
At this moment, Ming Yulong waved his hand to let the soldiers around Ye Tian disperse.
"Your name is Ye Tian? Although I think Luo Ying's actions are very unreasonable, but she is as proud as her. Since she values you so much, you must have some ability." Ming Yulong stood at the tall city gate In front of the building, in the wind and snow, it looks like an iron tower, said in a deep voice.
"It's just thanks to Miss Luoying's high opinion," Ye Tian said with a smile.
Ming Yulong's eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly indifferent, staring at Ye Tian closely.
"You look so high above the clouds and bland, if it's because you have enough confidence, then I hate it too much! You look like those old and immortal talisman masters!" Ming Yulong said coldly: "But don't worry, Even if you are actually a good-for-nothing, for Luo Ying's sake, as long as you don't cause harm to our army, I will definitely not make things difficult for you!"
As he said that, Ming Yulong suddenly turned his eyes and looked into the distance:
"Just as they were talking, they came!"
Following the twilight of the Ming Yulong, Ye Tian saw an old man in a blue Taoist robe coming up from the horse path on the side of the city wall surrounded by a group of soldiers. He had a gray beard and a thin face. There is an initial stage of returning to virtuality.
The wind and snow in the world seemed to be unable to get close to the old man's body, and within a few inches, they all quietly turned and flew away.
"The guy who pretends to be a ghost!" Ming Yulong whispered to himself in the narration.
Ye Tian could also tell at a glance that there was a rune hidden in the old man's sleeve robe, which was activated and maintained by spirit stones, and a steady stream of power formed protection around the old man's body, isolating the wind, snow and cold.
It's very cold here, even if these sergeants here are all cultivated, including the Ming Yulong who has reached the Nascent Soul, they still wrap themselves tightly. Enough to ignore these colds entirely.
At this time, Ye Tian was wearing a thick coat.
Of course, Ye Tian didn't need it. Luo Ying couldn't stand it when he was in the forest and asked Ye Tian to put it on. Ye Tian didn't want it to be too weird in the eyes of others, so he let it be. Take it off again.
Only the old man's thin clothes, coupled with the changes in the wind and snow around his body, and the surrounding sergeants made this old man look very different, and the surrounding sergeants all showed awe.
In this moment, the old man had already arrived in front of Ming Yulong.
"Elder Gu!" Ming Yulong suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and saluted the old man respectfully.
"General Ming is here," Gu Zongyuan put his hands behind his back, nodded lightly, his gaze bypassed Ye Tian without stopping for a moment, and swept across the city wall.
"There is no military situation at this time. Elder Gu came here late at night. It is quite hard work. I don't know what it is?"
After scanning around, Gu Zongyuan's gaze had already taken on a strong sense of scrutiny.
"Why are all the Divine Machine Crossbows exposed to the snow?"
What Gu Zongyuan was talking about was the countless slender objects covered with black cloth on the city wall. Ye Tian realized from the very beginning that it was a magic weapon that was imbued with a formation and needed powerful aura to move it.
Only then did I realize that the thing was called the Divine Machine Crossbow.
"Elder Gu..."
"I've emphasized twice that when you don't need to use it, push all the magic crossbows back into sealed storage, because you are the only one who refuses to listen?" Ming Yulong was about to speak when Gu Zongyuan coldly interrupted him.
"The houses that can accommodate the Divine Mechanism Crossbow are all under the city wall, and the west gate faces the snowy forest. If the enemy hides in it, it is difficult to predict the movement in advance. If a war breaks out, there is no time to push the Divine Mechanism Crossbow to the city wall immediately. ..." Ming Yulong lowered his head and quickly explained.
"Nonsense!" Gu Zongyuan's old face trembled slightly, and he waved his hand angrily.
"You also know that this is the West City Gate!?"
"The other three sects are all facing the opponent's main army. As far as your mission is the lightest and the most comfortable, so what if you can't use it immediately? Could it be that without the magic crossbow, you can no longer resist the enemy? Then I Seeing that you and your subordinates are all a bunch of trash!?"
