0187: Thunder

"Today passed so quickly."

The sun had completely disappeared into the dense forest. Cao Qingtian was already eager to take on the upcoming challenge.

At the same time, not far from Chaos City, there was also a towering city called Hanzhong.

The imperial army that went to Luo County last night left from here. The highest general in Hanzhong was called Zhang Lu.

This Zhang Lu can also be said to have a distinguished family background. He was a descendant of Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

After the former governor of Yizhou, Xie Jian, was killed by the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou, the current governor of Yizhou, Liu Yan, saw that the world was in chaos and had an idea in his heart. He wanted to find a place to settle down and establish his own regime, so he turned to the court to ask for the position of governor of Yizhou. At the same time, his children were left in the capital as hostages. This was also the emperor's way to prevent Liu Yan from establishing his own regime after arriving in Yizhou.

But what you fear will come true. As soon as Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he sent his subordinate Zhang Lu to Hanzhong to cut off the traffic, kill the angel, and completely cut off the communication between Yizhou and the central government.

There is no doubt that Zhang Lu played a very important role in Liu Yan's plan.

After Liu Yan's internal problems were solved, he was ready to take action against various unstable factors, big and small, in Yizhou. Luo County was near Hanzhong, and the task of destroying the Yellow Turban Army in Luo County fell on Zhang Lu.

It was not a difficult task for Zhang Lu to destroy the Yellow Turban Army, but he did not want to take it lightly, so he sent thousands of elite troops to Luo County to destroy the Yellow Turban Army. He transferred nearly 10,000 troops to the Black Wind Mountain, even though he knew that the Black Wind Mountain was empty at that time, but he still transferred nearly 10,000 troops, which was considered to be very respectful of the bandits in the Black Wind Mountain.

In this way, there were only a few troops guarding Hanzhong.

However, he did not expect that another group of troops would suddenly appear on the battlefield between the Yellow Turban Army and Black Wind Mountain, and this group of troops was well-trained and their combat effectiveness was no less than that of his subordinates.

That was fine, he could run away if he couldn't beat them, and the troops heading to Luo County did not suffer any losses.

He valued Black Wind Mountain more, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after taking Black Wind Mountain, he could slowly plan for Luo County.

However, the results of the battle on the Black Wind Mountain side surprised him more than Luo County. The troops heading to Black Wind Mountain did not lose a single soldier or horse, because when they entered the battlefield, Black Wind Mountain had already been in ruins and looted, without even a hair left!

Well, these are nothing, at least he didn't suffer any losses, right?

But when he returned to Hanzhong, he was completely dumbfounded, Hanzhong was stolen!!!

"Who is it, who is it!"

"They are so rude, not taking a single needle or thread, but only picking up precious resources!"

Zhang Lu was almost vomiting blood in anger, this group of people was simply too insidious!

Fortunately, there were no casualties among the civilians in Hanzhong, only the city lord's mansion and warehouse were almost emptied, that is to say, in this mantis catching cicadas, the oriole behind, he, the mantis, suffered the greatest loss.

"I must find this group of people and cut them into pieces!"

"Yes, the third party force that suddenly appeared on the battlefield last night may be the shameless villain who stole Hanzhong!"

"Come on, check for me!"

Zhang Lu roared.

Over the years, he has never been so frustrated.

In Chaos City, the black dome has covered the four fields at this moment, the sky is pure black, no stars can be seen, no moon can be seen, between the mountains and forests, one can't see one's hand in front of one's face, but from time to time there are roars of beasts, causing the mountains to shake, the forests to sway, and the leaves to fall.

Cao Qingtian already had some guesses about the crisis after midnight tonight. This crisis is similar to the last time when the beasts went out.

However, before the last time when the beasts went out, there were at least a large number of treasure chests that could enhance the strength of the city lord, and there were rewards to be claimed after surviving, but this crisis is a real crisis. The strong survive, and the weak die!

Under the night, the surroundings of Chaos City are full of dangers. There are countless eyes staring at Chaos City in the dark, as if waiting for something.

On the other side, Cao Qingtian has stopped today's trading, and today's income has been clearly counted.

"Except for the gold coins distributed to the group of sages, I have 2.6 million gold coins!"

"In addition, there are a large number of basic resources of all kinds!"

If Cao Qingtian concentrates on making money, he can get nearly 10 million gold coins just from those advanced weapons today, but making money is secondary. Cao Qingtian mainly wants to get resources.

Now Chaos City needs hundreds of thousands of basic resources to upgrade. If there is no massive reserve of basic resources, the development of Chaos City will be difficult.

Fortunately, the basic resources obtained today are all in the tens of millions, which are enough for Chaos City to consume for a while.

As the dawn is getting closer, everyone is on high alert. If the crisis tonight is passed, everything will be fine. There will be plenty of time to rest in the future, but if it can't be passed, it will be bloody on the spot.

"Damn, I'm so scared. There are eyes all around my city. A large area of ​​green eyes is always staring at my city. I just look at it and my scalp is numb!"

"It's over tonight. These things don't seem to be beasts, let alone people. They are a kind of monster we have never seen before!"

"Isn't this the way the world is? The strong prey on the weak. If you have strength, you can survive. This is a way for the empire to eliminate the weak. In this world, weakness is the original sin!"

"Damn it, luckily I grabbed a high-level weapon sold by Cao Tiandi today, otherwise I would be desperate now!"

"I really regret it. I didn't buy Cao Tiandi's equipment because I thought it was too expensive. Now I have a mid-level weapon in my hand. I admit that I am scared."

There was a lot of wailing on the chat channel.

Cao Qingtian looked at the eyes in the dark around the city, and had some thoughts in his heart. Was he going to take the initiative?

His current strength is undoubtedly the top among all the city lords in the open. He wants to go out and get some information. Although he is confident that he is invincible, the group of sages do not have such abnormal combat power as him. Therefore, if he can get more information, the survival rate of the group of sages will be greatly improved.

Just when Cao Qingtian had an idea, a dark red lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. Following the lightning, Cao Qingtian saw dense clouds above his head. Among the clouds, lightning flashed like a running thunder dragon.
