Purple Stone City is a castle with purple light flashing in the sun. There is a large meeting hall in the castle. There is a cold and solemn atmosphere under the bright crystal light. The hall is filled with people covered in armor.
General. On the purple stone chairs placed high up, a row of big men covered in golden armor sat solemnly, with invisible majesty permeating the air. It was so quiet that people dared not leave their breath. The slow time tested the patience of everyone in the hall.
"Nabidu Defense, how is the arrangement of the encirclement and suppression plan?" A general on the purple stone chair finally asked.
"Your Majesty, the return envoy, the arrangements have been completed according to the plan. As long as the bandits get into the pocket, they can be caught in one fell swoop." Nabi replied respectfully.
Nazhi nodded, and his eyes full of majesty scanned back and forth in the hall, as if he was inspecting everyone. Then his eyes changed, he turned his head and cupped his hands to the three old men sitting in the corner of the hall and said: "Three adults, the prey has been
When we are about to enter an ambush and close the net, the bandit leader will have a hard time."
"Just do your duty, sir. I will deal with the bandit leader." An old man opened his eyes slightly and said in a neither salty nor light tone.
The envoy was not angry at the old man's arrogance, and bowed his hands to them again. His eyes turned back again, and his respectful expression suddenly became stern again, and the change was so fast that people were amazed.
"My generals, since the establishment of our general headquarters for suppression, we have spent a lot of manpower and financial resources running around. Now it is finally time to close the net. I also ask you to work together. Once this gang of bandits is wiped out, I will
Let’s have a banquet with wine, and we won’t come home until everyone is drunk.” The envoy’s majestic tone was full of pride.
Looking at the angry hall, Na Shi felt happy for a while. Since the Allied Forces Command of the three major tribes decided to clean up the bandits in the territory, they have continued to increase the number of troops, but in the end they were unable to do so. As a last resort, they transferred elite soldiers and generals from the front line and established a clearing command.
With his troops and informants all over him, he was able to pinpoint the whereabouts of the bandits and set up a dragnet under his command.
But the only regret is that we still don’t know the background of this bandit leader. We only know that he is from Taoshan Village. Fortunately, we have this information, otherwise, the three major coalition command headquarters may not be able to invite these three demons.
A big boss is in charge.
Just when the entire hall was filled with high fighting spirit, Na's satisfied eyes suddenly froze, and then a trace of worry arose, because he saw that there was no one in Na Li's seat.
Now that the plan has been completed and victory is just around the corner, if something goes wrong at this time, it will be self-inflicted.
"Nabidu defense, where is the Nagliu city defense now?" The worry in his heart made Najib no longer happy at all, and the sense of uncertainty in his heart suddenly increased a bit.
"The Naliu City Defense Force personally led his team to patrol Nicun Village today." Nabi carefully considered and answered carefully.
"Patrol." Nazhang's face was stern, his brows touched lightly, and he said to himself anxiously. According to the information obtained by the scouts, the bandits are most likely in Nicun.
"Ni Village is only fifteen kilometers away from Zishi City. It can be reached in half an hour by a quick march. Moreover, Naliu City Defense is young and promising, and it is protected by Naxi. Lord Nashi does not have to worry. As far as I know, the reason why Naliu City Defense is in Ni
The village patrol is because Ni Village has become more and more disobedient recently. Not only does it refuse to pay taxes, but it also gathers people to cause trouble. The Naliu City Defense is also here to share your worries, and its intentions are clear." Nabi's eyes flickered, and he said something.
Bullshit.
"Okay, everyone, today's discussion ends here. This operation is of great importance. Please be sure to act as ordered." Although Nabi had no intention of listening to Nabi's lies, he still suppressed the anxiety in his heart and took a breath.
, majesty permeated the air again.
The envoy hurriedly ended the meeting and couldn't wait for everyone to disperse before he couldn't wait to get up and return to the temporary capital. At this time, the uneasiness in his heart was like a burst of floods, quickly spreading throughout his body, making him feel anxious and kept going back and forth.
He paced and didn't stop until a figure swept into the hall.
"Sir, the envoy, I am so urgent, I don't know what to order." The figure asked the envoy before he could stand still.
"Chief Nayin, the matter is urgent, so I will keep it short. My son Na Liao is so eager for success that he led troops to patrol Ni Village. Now Ni Village is a place where bandits must pass. Given his state, I really can't rest assured.
, if you encounter a bandit, I am afraid it will be very bad, please ask the manager to go to Nicun to rescue my unfilial son." At this time, Na Yin did not care about his identity and majesty, he bowed his hand to Na Yin, and begged.
.
"Your Majesty has ordered me to go through fire and water. Even if I encounter the bandit leader, it will be difficult to protect Young Master Naliao. Why don't you ask the three Tyrant Ape Clan to help..." Na Yin was surprised to see Na Shi being so polite.
I know that the situation is quite serious. But just to be sure, I am prepared to rope in the masters of the Tyrant Ape Clan.
But Nayin really thought highly of Nashi. In the eyes of the Tyrant Ape Clan, this man who could control the situation in the Na Clan was just like a dispensable chess piece. Fortunately, Nashi still had some self-awareness. If
If you really ask these three old guys to take action, you will only be asking for humiliation.
"General Manager Nayin, just do your best. Now that the war is about to happen, if this incident affects the encirclement and suppression plan, then I will become a sinner of the Na tribe. I will know in my heart which is more serious." Na envoy found a high-sounding reason.
, he said with a sigh. But his excessive worry made him age a bit instantly.
In fact, Nazhang knew better. If his personal affairs affected the encirclement and suppression plan, I am afraid that he would not just be a sinner, but the Tyrant Ape Clan would definitely kill him.
"Don't worry, sir. I will risk my life to save Master Na Liao." Since Na Yin followed Na Yin, although he has been highly regarded, he has never enjoyed such courtesy. At that moment, he was flattered, and a sense of disregard for death suddenly rose.
road.
On the river bank next to Ni Village, the cool breeze blew quietly over the turbid water. Na Yin stood blankly on the river sand, the veins on his forehead beating non-stop. After a while, he waved gently behind him.
Waving his hands, a group of people suddenly appeared on the empty river sand.
"Take them all back! Remember, keep your mouth shut." Nayin said sadly.
Nayin didn't expect that something happened to Naliao, and Naxi didn't escape either.
"Damn bandits, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I will make it impossible for you to survive or die." Half an hour later, a vicious roar came from the capital defense mansion of Purple Stone City. The whole mansion was frightened.
The man was trembling, and no one dared to come forward to comfort him.
After leaving Ni Village, the death squad rushed towards Diling Lake day and night. Although they accidentally escaped the envoy's dragnet, Diling Lake was still a dead end.
Diling Lake is a sacred lake for the Linhou tribe. It is surrounded by woods, filled with poisonous insects and full of miasma. There is only one road that can safely lead to Diling Lake.
According to Qu Qushi, Diling Lake looks calm on the outside, but it is full of dangers. Moreover, Diling Lake is spiritual and can swallow all living creatures that enter it.
In Ququshi's mind, he would rather choose to be surrounded by the coalition forces of the three major tribes than enter Diling Lake.
"Brother Shi, what's wrong with you?" Mao Qi asked with concern, seeing that Qu Qu Shi had a restless expression, was taciturn, and had many thoughts on his mind.
"Brother, Diling Lake is indeed weird. Although I don't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, the weirdness and danger in Diling Lake must be beyond your imagination." Ququshi slowed down his speech and tried his best to express himself.
Become a little clearer.
"This Diling Lake is indeed weird, but this is also the purpose of my trip." The smile on Mao Qi's face slowly dissipated, replaced by a solemn one, but his tone was full of determination, as if he had expected it, but also felt helpless.
Looking at Mao Qi's expression, Qu Qushi fell into silence. Ever since he followed Mao Qi, he had never been afraid. Even when he faced death, he never hesitated at all, but now he was timid. This made Qu Qu
Shi felt anxious. He couldn't forgive himself in his heart, but he couldn't control his emotions. Maybe this was the knot in Shi Qu's heart. He thought his life would end here, but he was reborn here. Now he is re-entering. He doesn't know why.
Afraid, or afraid of being involved.
"Brother, there is another reason why I chose to enter Diling Lake, and that is that only here can the Death Team persist until the day when Taoshan Village launches a counterattack. Now that the three major tribes are trying their best to clear it out, the Death Team has already spread out in five directions.
You can go. And I have a strong premonition that there will be unexpected gains in Diling Lake." Feeling Qu Qushi's silence and hesitation for the first time, Mao Qi felt a little heavy, and he didn't know how to comfort him.
I can only explain and enlighten as much as possible.
Ququshi didn't answer, he just stared in the direction of Diling Lake. After a while, he nodded heavily, his eyes filled with perseverance again.
"If this is really fate, we must fight!" This was Qu Qushi's final decision.
"Send the order, all groups, including the scout group, will move together at full speed towards Diling Lake." Mao Qi will not be indecisive. If you enter Diling Lake, you can survive; if you don't enter, you will die. There is no need to choose this choice at all.
"Captain! A team of people appeared by the lake just now and took all the garbage away." As soon as Mao Qi gave the order, a scout came to report.
Although they were less than an hour away from the coalition forces of the three major tribes, Mao Qi felt calm in his heart, because entering Diling Lake was definitely not part of their plan, and this hour's distance was beyond their ability.
The chasing distance.
Just as the death team rushed to Diling Lake at full speed, another group of people gathered at the riverside, and this group of people was more well-equipped and acted more decisively. This group was the envoy's personal guard, and everyone's
The realms are all above the Tao realm, and the weapons are all fine iron level. Although the strength is good, it is unfortunately a step too late.
After searching around for a moment, he quickly chased in the direction of Mao Qi.
"Hurry up, Lord Du Fang said, whoever kills the bandit leader will be directly promoted to city defense." A sharp shout came from the front of the crowd.
Upon hearing the reward, the crowd burst into excited cheers again, and the speed of action suddenly accelerated a lot.
After two days of non-stop driving, a dark barrier of giant trees slowly appeared in front of Mao Qi, and the cold breath could be felt from a long distance away.
"Brother, Diling Lake is ahead!" Ququshi pointed to the giant tree barrier in front.
"We're finally here! Pass the order and let everyone have a good rest before entering Diling Lake tomorrow." Mao Qi said quietly, looking at the ghostly giant trees.
After two consecutive days of non-stop driving, the soldiers of the death squad were exhausted. Not far from the camp, two tired and thin figures were busy making a fire to cook. Under the blazing fire, two delicate faces
They are focusing on the work in their hands.
The scene in front of him made the corners of Mao Qi's eyes sore and his eyes suddenly became moist. However, Mao Qi did not step forward to care, or even said a greeting. He just took a deep breath and went about his own business.
The reason why Mao Qi didn't step forward was not because he didn't care, but because he was too distressed. However, this kind of distress can only be hidden in the bottom of his heart. Once exposed, it will most likely affect the morale of the army and even morale. This is also the helplessness in the military camp.
.
In order to do his best to ensure the safety of the dead team members, Mao Qi asked over and over again for information about the Diling Lake.
"There is only one safe entrance to Diling Lake, but we are not at the entrance now. If we enter Diling Lake from our current position, we should encounter unknown troubles such as poisonous miasma, mud thorns, and ghost beasts, and this trouble will continue forever.
Accompany us. However, the possibility of encountering enemies in Diling Lake is extremely small." Ququshi introduced awkwardly, because there was only so much he knew.
"Captain, we don't know much about Diling Lake, so just give the order directly. We won't have any second thoughts." Sun Panghai rubbed his swollen head and said.
As soon as Sun Panghai's words came out, everyone simply gave up thinking and looked at Mao Qi eagerly, waiting for him to make up his mind.
"If the Na army really wants to trap us in Diling Lake, then they will be disappointed. After entering the giant forest, the team formed a column. I, Qu Qushi, and Qu Qiuhu were leading the way.
, the people behind us followed our footsteps and made next plans after finding a suitable place to camp. Please remember that you must be ready for battle at any time after entering the forest, but you are never allowed to act alone. Deputy Qu Qushi and I
The captain once spent a night in Diling Lake, which proves that this place is by no means a place of execution. Let’s take a good night’s rest and head to Diling Lake tomorrow morning.” After sweeping away the solemn look on his face, Mao Qi said with a relaxed expression.??
