Wisps of cold wind were whistling overhead, and the rest of the Xia Clan's territory was almost ready for spring, but the Dragon Territory was still in a severe cold, with snowflakes floating in the sky, and it was an indescribable bitter cold.
Mingyuechi was dressed in military uniform, with exquisite soft armor outlining the round peaks. A pair of jade hands pressed on the table, and his eyes were full of solemnity: "I confirm that that person has entered the Western Region Protectorate."
"Absolutely true."
Feng Yu nodded: "Ding Muchen and I saw it with our own eyes."
"Yes, Yuechi, that person also knows the martial arts of the temple. Don't think about it, he must be one of our own."
"It's the Western Region Protectorate again..."
Mingyuechi bit her red lips and said: "Lie Kongshui has been guarding the Western Region Protectorate for many years, and has always used iron-fist tactics. However, barbarians have recently entered the country, and the Xia tribe knows almost nothing about the Western Region Protectorate.
As I know, this makes me quite uneasy, so be it, Feng Yu, Ding Muchen, I will discuss it with Duke Xingchu later before making the next decision."
"No……"
At this moment, Lin Xingchu's voice came from outside the door. Sure enough, the heroic lady stepped into the Dragon City Hall wearing a light golden military uniform and said: "There is indeed something fishy in the Western Region Protectorate. I have requested an order from His Majesty."
, sent a special envoy to check the details of the Western Region Protectorate, and please ask Master Yuechi to send two masters to accompany the special envoy."
"Can."
Mingyuechi looked at me and Feng Yu and said, "You two, are you willing to go?"
"willing."
"good."
Mingyuechi stepped forward and said to me with a soft smile: "Ding Muchen, you have made great contributions in annihilating the barbarian warriors and cavalry. On behalf of Dragon Territory, I will give you such a reward. I also hope that you will continue to work hard and continue to contribute to the future of the human race!"
"Ding!"
System prompt: Congratulations on completing the mission [Destroy the Barbarians] (S level★), you will receive a reward of +35% experience for this level, +1200 reputation value, +1 luck value, and +50000 merit value!
In an instant, the military rank was promoted to the eighth-level Feather School, and the main attribute attack power increased by as much as 19%!
Immediately afterwards, another task came——
"Ding!"
System prompt: You have accepted the mission [Escort Special Envoy] (S level ★★)!
It's another S-level mission, this time it's two stars, and the rewards should be more.
Lin Xingchu's eyes were dark and he said: "The special envoy's team is outside. Let's leave early. I hope you can all come back safely. General Fengyu Dragon Rider, take your dragon with you. If anything happens, you must come back alive.
The mission of the special envoy is just to go to the Western Region Protectorate to find out what's going on. If anything happens, just leave it to fate."
"Yes, sir, I understand."
…
After leaving the door, there was a team of about a hundred envoys outside. The special envoy was a middle-aged civil servant, holding an envoy in his hand. He nodded respectfully towards me and Feng Yu and said, "Sir, can we set off?"
"Let's go."
"yes!"
After summoning the cold iron horse, I got on the horse and felt relaxed. This was an escort mission, and it was destined to be an escort mission that would not go smoothly. I hope it would be less troublesome.
Leaving Longyu and galloping on the official road, at this speed, it will take an hour and a half to arrive at Yumen Pass. There are civil servants in the envoy, so the speed is too slow, but there is no other way. I can only accompany you. Who told me that I am from Longyu?
I am a close friend of Mingyuechi. Perhaps in Mingyuechi's heart, my status has surpassed that of Lingyu and other dragon knight generals, and is on an equal footing with Fengyu.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and we finally passed through the entire territory of Julu City and arrived at Yumen Pass on the western border.
This is also the first time I have seen this legendary city gate.
As the sun sets, this majestic pass spans dozens of miles, connecting two towering mountains. The city wall is twenty meters high, standing like a giant in this wild forest. The flags are flying when the gate is closed, and the sunset
Wisps of golden light reflected on the city wall outside the pass, as if the gray city bricks had been plated with gold.
This is the Inner Pass, and there is an Outer Pass a few hundred meters away from the Inner Pass. The Inner Pass is guarded by Julu City, and the Outer Pass is guarded by the troops of the Western Region Protectorate, thus forming a barrier to the Xia people's western border.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk~~~”
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a column of cavalry wearing the emblem of Julu City galloped over. One of them, holding a sword, stepped forward and said respectfully: "The last general is the subordinate of Princess Qingyi. We have come to welcome the envoys into the pass. It is already night, please envoys."
Let’s rest in the pass overnight and start our journey again at dawn tomorrow?”
The special envoy nodded: "Thank you."
I had nothing to say and no right to speak. Feng Yu frowned and refrained from speaking. After all, the special envoy was old and could not withstand the bumps like us.
"Squeak!"
The heavy iron gate opened, and everyone entered the pass. Just in front, two familiar figures appeared. Luo Qingyi and Sula, who were wearing armor, were actually here. After they saw me, they also smiled knowingly. Luo Qing
The clothes said: "I have already held a banquet in the pass. I invite the special envoy to come and have a meal. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Princess, I'm sorry!"
"please."
The garrison in the pass is relatively spacious. It is in a hall close to the inner wall of the city wall. It is brightly lit, a table of hot meals has been prepared, and there is even fine wine. Luo Qingyi smiled slightly and invited everyone to enter.
Feng Yu and I are naturally among them. We are representatives of the Dragon Realm and our status is extraordinary.
As soon as I saw the chicken legs, pork knuckles, etc. on this table, I suddenly felt an appetite. I looked at the hunger and fullness level, which was close to 50%, so I sat down and ate with a group of NPCs. After eating two chicken drumsticks, I felt very hungry.
The satiety value increased to 70%, and then I ate some elbow meat, and the hunger and satiety value reached 90% in a short time.
"Taste this."
Sulla sat next to me, looking virtuous, and poured me a glass of wine. The wine was dark red, and the cup used was a jade cup. The wine was rippling, and it felt like a luminous cup of grape wine. I picked up the cup and drank it.
After downloading, a prompt sounded in my ears——
"drop!"
Combat Tips: If you drink [Fine Grape Wine], your stunt value growth rate will increase by 50%, lasting for 120 seconds!
Actually increases the growth rate of stunt value?
I was surprised. It seemed that the system had revealed something to me. In the near future, Jiu Jian Liu would definitely return to the world...
After a few glasses of wine, there is no more effect. Anyway, my stunt value is already full.
Sula smiled and said: "We have arranged for the special envoy to rest in the pass tonight. You should also rest together. We will leave at dawn tomorrow. It has been unusual outside the pass recently, so you have to be extra careful."
"Well, I know!"
At this moment, there was a "beep" sound, and a message came from Lin Che: "Fuck...Brother Chen, thank you for reminding everyone at noon not to go to the North. Something big happened in the North!"
"ah?!"
I was shocked: "What happened?"
"The Nemesis triggered an ice storm that swept across the entire Lost Plains and lasted for 60 seconds. Therefore, almost all the players in the Lost Plains died once. Only those with invincible special skills escaped by using the invincible return to the city.
!”
"Depend on……"
I was a little surprised: "I originally thought that Kemir would hunt down players one by one, but I didn't expect that the game would be so big... You asked Beichen's brothers to stop wandering in the North if they don't have invincible special skills. Those who have special skills don't have CDs."
Don’t go even if it’s finished.”
"okay!"
…
Night falls.
There was a deserted scene when the Yumen Gate was closed. Soldiers were guarding the city wall, with torches erected on the side. There was one person every five meters. The sound of horse hooves was also heard from the city. They were some scout teams patrolling out of the city. The torches were like fireflies scattered on the ground.
Likewise, in the distance you can only hear the sound of horse hooves in the wind.
I stood on the side of the inner wall and looked in front of me. A few hundred meters away, torches were lit up. The war horse on the wall had a big word "西" looming on it. That was the name of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
banner.
Luo Qingyi, Sula, and Feng Yu didn't sleep, so they stood aside.
"It's so quiet this night..." Feng Yu sighed.
Luo Qingyi smiled slightly: "I hope this silence can last longer."
Feng Yu smiled knowingly: "Yes!"
But at this moment, the Ice Wind Frost Dragon that was prostrate on the city wall not far away suddenly raised its head, with uneasiness in its eyes, and stood up suddenly, roaring at the distant city wall opposite.
"What's wrong?!" Feng Yu frowned.
Before the Ice Wind Frost Dragon had time to say anything, an earth-shattering sound came from the opposite side.
"Peng~~~"
A burst of flames spurted out, and the whole earth was shaking. The next moment, it exploded directly on the city wall less than ten meters away from me. The soldiers in charge of the patrol were blown to pieces before they could even scream.
Then tongues of fire continued to spit out from the darkness on the opposite city wall, causing everyone to panic, as if they were in purgatory.
The Xia clan defenders of the Western Region Protectorate actually bombarded their own Yumen Pass?!
"It finally begins!"
Luo Qingyi gritted his silver teeth, with anger and murderous intent in his beautiful eyes, and said: "Lie Kongshui, you old guy, can't you finally help showing your fox tail? The generals listened to the order, fired back, and mobilized immediately.
The Julu City Cavalry Regiment in the pass is preparing to enter the Western Region Protectorate to put an end to the chaos for the empire!"
On one side of Julu City, the cannon muzzles on the city wall moved and the counterattack began!
My hand holding the Dragon Flame Shield was trembling slightly. Finally, has the rebellion in the Western Region Protectorate fully begun?!
"Bang!"
A bolt of flames shook the city gates, blowing up a room in one of the gates, followed by the cry of servants, and at the same time, a ringtone made me speechless.
"Ding!"
System prompt: Since the special envoy has been killed by shelling, your mission [Escorting the special envoy] (S level ★★) has officially failed!
…
Looking at the task list, I saw that S-level tasks were slowly being removed. What a huge loss!
Inside and outside Yumen Pass, artillery fire continued, and flames shot into the sky. Both sides were competing for firepower, but Julu City was obviously stronger. There were enough artillery shells. They bombed from night to dawn. There were many stores in the city gate.
The shells had just been used up, and at ten o'clock in the smoky early morning, figures in the distance wavered, and in the fog and smoke, rows of rebels from the Western Region Protectorate holding heavy shields appeared.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk~~~”
A column of cavalry came out of the battle. They looked familiar. It was the unknown general from the day. He was holding the Xia tribe's flag and shouted with cold eyes: "After investigation, Luo Qingyi, the lord of Julu City, colluded with the barbarian army in the west to allow the barbarians to enter."
, which is really an act of having no father and no king. Following the orders of the general of the Dufufu, we broke through Yumen Pass and captured Luo Qingyi alive to serve as a warning to others!"
For a moment, Luo Qingyi was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Shameless... shameless!"
