At noon the next day, at a certain moment, Tang Zhao suddenly felt his whole body sinking, and he seemed to hear the rushing sound of the tide in his ears. The sound seemed to come from outside, but also seemed to come from inside his body.
The sunlight that had been lingering around him suddenly shone, and the sword hanging on his waist was suddenly unsheathed, revealing a three-foot green blade that had not been seen for many days.
Then, he calmed down from the inside out.
That's the front line - the Shattered Realm has arrived.
Except for him, everyone else was calm and seemed to have been prepared for it. The big car was indeed blessed by the formation, there was nothing strange at all, and there was not even any bumps.
Driving on Jianmu, you are always surrounded by lush vegetation, and you can't see any change in the scenery. The only feeling is that the types of vegetation have changed.
Originally, the underground forest was a northern forest dominated by pines and cypresses. As it got colder and colder, it gradually turned into a forest of arrow bamboo and spruce. The clumps of arrow bamboo looked gray and yellow like dead grass, rustling in the wind.
Further up there are no trees, only meadows.
Tang Zhao had also seen this kind of vertical distribution of plants in Jiugao Mountain, and it was not unusual. However, after a certain point, the plants suddenly changed, becoming more and more dense, with larger and larger leaves, and even
Even southern plants like bananas and banyan trees appeared. It suddenly turned into a tropical rain forest.
Not only the plants, but also the air suddenly became hot. The heat suddenly filled the nasal cavity, and the burning sensation extended from the throat to the internal organs, as if fire was about to erupt with every breath.
"Is it so hot on the front line?" Although Tang Zhao, a swordsman, did not sweat, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He was born in Yunzhou and was used to cool weather. He had never felt such a temperature even on a hot summer day.
"It's because our Fragmented Territory is too hot." Li Yijian explained briefly, "The Fragmented Territory is like this. The climate, environment, and water flow are all completely different. It's like small worlds put together. For example, this mountain range,
The mountain is obviously very stretchy, but it suddenly cuts off somewhere and drops completely vertically, with a flat plain behind. It is extremely hot in some places, but snow suddenly falls after two steps, and it is muddy and difficult to walk after two steps. So don't rely on it.
Experience matters.”
Tang Zhao thought thoughtfully and said, "No wonder it's called Broken Territory."
In fact, this kind of knowledge has been mentioned in books, but reading it is like reading a story. It is difficult to keep it in mind. Only by experiencing it personally can you feel it.
"I heard that the Broken Domain was originally a large domain, with mountains and water, and the sun and moon changing, just like the real world. It was just broken and then randomly mixed and spliced together by various forces, and it became what it is now."
Tang Zhao expressed the inference he saw in the book.
Li Yijian said: "Perhaps, after all, this is the effort of a certain powerful sage to prevent the collision of the two worlds. It is impossible to create a Broken Realm from the beginning, right?"
The fire truck rolled forward, and when it reached a certain place, it suddenly shook and drove downwards.
The environment changed again along the way. The vegetation became worse as we traveled. The originally dense forest gradually became sparse, and finally even the weeds were rare. Only the exposed surface was dark red, like condensed and dried blood stains.
This is already a desert like the Flame Mountain.
It's not a desert, it's a rocky desert, not even sand.
After walking for another half day, when everyone was tired of looking at the red rocks, a big city appeared on the horizon.
The city wall is very tall and made entirely of rock. When you look closely, there are also mysterious silver stripes of strange stones on it.
The shape of the entire city is very strange, like a big fire truck. There are round holes in the bottom row of foundation stones, like ant nests.
When Tang Zhao saw it, he thought those round holes were city gates, but then his doubts were lifted:
The fire car turned around, with the pointed end rushing outward, and the round end directly welded into one of the round holes, as if it were an integral part of the city.
"The Qianjin City is absolutely closed to ensure the safety of the city."
Although Lan Xiuzhu is not a frontline soldier, he has served on the frontline and knows this city very well. Moyun City is a city directly connected to Yunzhou in the world, and the nominal lord of the city is Gao Yuanhou. The sergeants serving in the city are gold diggers.
Warriors, nine out of ten traders come from Yunzhou.
Nowadays, Moyun City is a rare and prosperous city in Qianjin City. Although the population is only tens of thousands, it is also armored and has tens of thousands. Its power can be considered very powerful in the Broken Realm.
The rise and fall of these small towns is closely related to the situation in the world. Not long ago, the nearby Yuling City was also very prosperous. Since Lingzhou became the lair of bandits, Yuling City has been in decline and has gradually become a nest for all kinds of fugitives and rebels.
, was finally attacked from the inside by the devil and turned into ruins.
As Yunzhou prospered due to the rectification of Marquis Gao Yuan, Moyun City became increasingly powerful. Finally, people from neighboring Lingzhou and Liangzhou also gathered here. If it had not been difficult to expand Qiancheng, another siege would have been built long ago.
The fire truck entered the parking space, but the door did not open. Instead, many sergeants with magic weapon rings came from the city. They checked the fire truck up and down before opening the door on the inside of the city wall.
Li Yijian, Tang Zhao and other swordsmen got off the bus first. Swordsmen can come and go freely in the Broken Domain, so there is no need to check carefully. Those students have to go through a round of inspections to confirm that they are in good health on the front line. If there are any problems, go first
He went for treatment, but he had no choice but to be sent back.
Li Yijian said: "We will not go into the city, we will only repair in the branch city, and then go directly to the examination room."
Tang Zhao felt a little regretful, but he also understood - now is not the time to wander around, and there is no point in going to the city. Are you afraid that you will not have the chance to come to the front line in the future?
Li Yijian said: "Let's check the results of the written examination while we are in the process of repairing. Those who fail will not have to go to the examination room. We will arrange to serve in the city defense for a few days."
No wonder he wanted to bring all the students to the front line. Originally, he had no intention of letting any of them go back, and some of them were sent directly to the army.
But the students will be happy with it. Maybe they will be envied by other students - this kind of career is fresh and interesting to try for a few days, but it will only become a chore after a long time.
The time for grading papers is also very fast. I think when the students were sleeping in the big car, there was a group of examiners working hard under the same car.
"Everyone, please don't delay and go directly to the separate examination rooms." Li Yijian said to the other teachers, "Or do you still want to give a few words of advice to the students?"
Lan Xiuzhu smiled first and said: "That's no need. We have already said what we should say. Unless someone else wants to issue any new orders."
She looked at An Jiaoyu, naturally alluding to the fact that he asked the students to attack the prosecutor. An Jiaoyu waved his hands and said: "Me too, I have nothing to say. The boys know what they are thinking."
They all said that, and Tang Zhao was naturally speechless. While the students were looking at their results, he got out of the car and rushed to the examination rooms where they were responsible for invigilating the examination.
The Chinese Army here also arranged for a few people to follow. To be honest, the work was actually done by the sergeants of the Chinese Army. Tang Zhao was not involved in the early stage, so how could it be done? It was nothing more than a way to control the situation and supervise.
The leader of the team following Tang Zhao was a female officer, who called herself Yin. She looked to be in her thirties and was a captain. She looked like a casual person, and she had a standard five-man team under her, which was the "elite" in the traditional sense.
"Squad", ordinary members have the title of "senior commander" and are top knights.
But this kind of team is not the most powerful. The more powerful "strong dragon" team needs a swordsman to lead it, and its subordinates are all scattered.
It is said that there is also a team that is formed only for big battles, where five swordsmen are grouped together and only perform special tasks such as "beheading" or "core intelligence".
A few people set off in a light carriage. Originally, wielding a sword was the fastest, but the Broken Realm was dangerous and the air was twice as dangerous. Even swordsmen couldn't handle a sword easily, so they each brought their luggage and walked, and there was also a special carriage to carry equipment.
Originally, Colonel Yin wanted to ask Tang Zhao to get on the carriage and rest, but Tang Zhao refused - what happened to running a few steps? It was just a new arrival and I didn’t know the situation, otherwise it would be good to ride a six-dragon carriage.
Although Lieutenant Yin had the seriousness of an officer on his face, he was quite talkative. Perhaps because Tang Zhao was young and easy to talk, he took the initiative to chat. Tang Zhao happened to want to know more about the front line, so he asked her about the surroundings of Moyun City.
Condition.
"Moyun City is quite safe, and there are not many battles. After all, it is still far away from the front line. When the city was built, the stability of the area was considered, so that it would be convenient to assume formations and ensure the stability of one side. Unless you want to go to the city for a big battle.
The troops in the city will be mobilized from time to time, but most of the time we still focus on holding on. Holding on is the greatest achievement."
"The last battle? It was about a year ago. There will be a war every one or two years. The main purpose of He Tianmo Realm is to deter. It is better to worry about the two evil factions Yong Yeting and Bu Yue. They are the ones who are always there.
Those who don’t want us to be good, especially those who hate us, are the main altar of the Holy Moon Sect after all.”
"The six major forces are not considered evil factions. We can't say that the six major forces are all standing with us. We can only say that when the demon comes, we all fight side by side. There are usually a lot of conflicts. For example, Caiyungui tried to find the 'Pengri'
I've already gone crazy, and it's hard to get my style right."
"Which force are we? We are Qianjin City. Qianjin City is not one city, but many, many cities. It is the sum of the forces of the world that come to fight on the front line. There are not only hundreds of thousands of troops, but also countless martyrs, free individuals and
Other capable people, such as Talisman Sword Masters. By the way, the Ouye family, known as the best swordsmith family in the world, built a city on the side of Qianqian City. It is the holy land of Talisman Sword Masters. If you are interested, you can visit
.”
"There are many other interesting cities. Some big cities have a long history, but they can be traced back to ancient times. Their heritage is not under the government. Some cities were built by the previous dynasty. They are all remnants of the previous dynasty and do not recognize the Jin Dynasty. But they are not turtles.
If the bandits don't come to plot rebellion, we won't pay attention to them. There are other cities that came from other places along with the Broken Territory. They are thousands of miles apart, so they have completely different customs."
"There are other cities that are said to be neutral. Even demons can go there and trade with each other. They are not allowed in name, but in fact they turn a blind eye."
After talking for a few hours, the examination room finally arrived.
