Sauron rode his horse and ran wildly along the depths of the desert.
Huangquan Ancient City is seven hundred miles away from Amano Castle and is located in the southwest of the desert. It is almost on the edge of the desert, with soil, water and vegetation.
A long time ago, it was not called Huangquancheng, but Huangshui City.
Because there is a lake here, the lake water looks yellow and clear due to the sandy soil. This lake is not small, and it is already on the edge of the desert. Although the land is still relatively barren, it already has certain planting conditions.
Hundreds of years ago, a defeated tribe from Xiliang wandered here. Taking note of the geographical conditions, they chose to build a city and settle here, naming it Huangshui City.
Since then, this tribe has been thriving in Huangshui City, mainly making a living by growing grapes and making wine. The tribe has grown larger and larger, from a few thousand people to 20,000 to 30,000 people.
But a hundred years ago, for unknown reasons, everyone in Huangshui City died overnight.
There was no attack or any natural disaster. Tens of thousands of people in the entire tribe died cleanly, and the tribe was completely exterminated.
The strange thing is that these people did not have any wounds on their bodies, and when they died, they were extremely peaceful, as if they were sleeping.
Since then, this city has become a dead city. There were also some tribes who took a fancy to the conditions here and tried to settle here. But without exception, they all died violently, and their death was exactly the same as that of the previous tribe.
Not only that, many sand bandits do not believe in evil and take advantage of the fear of the people around them to choose the ancient city of Huangquan as their nest.
But without exception, these sand pirates all died. Again, no cause of death could be found.
Therefore, the city was renamed from Huangshui City to Huangquan City, which means that this is a cursed city, and anyone who enters will die inexplicably.
Now Yan Naier's Silver Wolf Death Squadron has hid in the ancient city of Huangquan in order to avoid being pursued by the Amano coalition forces. This shows how dangerous the situation is.
Everyone knows that entering the ancient city of Huangquan means death. This is a cursed city.
However, if one did not escape into the ancient city of Huangquan and be surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, the whole army would be destroyed in a few hours at most.
Although it is a dead end, being able to survive for a few more days also represents hope.
Therefore, after Yan Naier was assassinated, she ordered the entire army to enter the ancient city of Huangquan. Because in that case, out of fear, the Amano coalition forces would not dare to attack and enter, and the Silver Wolf Army would still have a few days to survive.
…
Sauron bought three horses, changed horses and galloped all the way towards the ancient city of Huangquan in the southwest.
Along the way, they met wandering warriors one after another, all of whom were going to participate in the final siege.
Although Huangquan Ancient City is very scary, as long as you don't enter, you won't be cursed if you are surrounded outside.
The Amano Castle coalition forces did not dare to attack and kill the Silver Wolf Legion, but they were afraid that they would run away, so they surrounded the ancient city of Huangquan. As a result, even thirty to forty thousand coalition forces seemed insufficient, so they spent a lot of gold coins to recruit wandering warriors.
There is no need to actually fight anyway, as long as the ancient city of Huangquan is completely surrounded and the Silver Wolf Legion inside is not allowed to break out.
In ten days and a half at most, the Silver Wolf Legion in Huangquan Ancient City will be completely dead. Then, this battle will be won with a great victory.
Moreover, you can eat and drink, and earn two or three gold coins in ten days. This reward is really rich enough.
Therefore, many bold wandering warriors went there one after another. Sauron was among them, and he did not look out of place at all.
Riding very fast all the way, he surpassed the other wandering warriors on the road. Sauron wished he could fly to the ancient city of Huangquan, and now Yan Naier was in danger every minute.
After running three hundred miles, Sauron took a short detour to the Dark Oasis, the home of the Viper Sand Bandit. He left several letters on it. The content of the letter was very simple. Amano City was empty and the opportunity could not be missed.
Never come again!
Then, regardless of whether these letters would be received by the sand bandit gang, Sauron continued to run towards the ancient city of Huangquan in the southwest.
Because Sauron was too fast, he was almost alone in the desert. Occasionally he would meet messengers going to Amano Castle to report news.
Suddenly, Sauron heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind. It was very fast. The horse looked very splendid when he heard it.
Sauron turned around and saw a black-robed warrior running towards the ancient city of Huangquan.
Seeing Sauron looking at him, the black-robed warrior's gaze suddenly became very wary, and even murderous intent arose.
This is not a samurai from Amano Castle, but from the secret department of the Kingdom of Fury, perhaps a subordinate of Turing Duo. He must be running so hard, there must be important orders to convey.
Sauron directly bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed with mental power, and struck with dragon power.
"Swish, swish..." Three consecutive arrows.
When the black-robed warrior from the Raging Waves Kingdom saw Sauron, he shot him directly without saying a word. He was immediately frightened and tried to dodge as fast as he could.
However, now Sauron's arrows are beyond what a mere mid-level warrior like him can dodge.
"Puff puff..." All three arrows hit, two hit the eyes and one hit the forehead.
Without a scream, the black-robed warrior died immediately and fell violently out.
Sauron jumped off his horse, grabbed the opponent's horse, and then came to the body of the black-robed warrior.
Sure enough, a secret letter was found from him, with a candle wax seal on it.
Sauron instinctively wanted to open the secret message, but after a slight hesitation, he did not open it and put it into his arms.
Then, Sauron quickly took off the man's armor, black robe, and mask, and found a special black iron token.
This is someone from Heibing Mansion!
The Black Ice Mansion is the most mysterious and powerful secret department in the Kingdom of Nulang. Legend has it that the Black Ice Mansion is omnipotent and omnipresent.
Sauron even heard the secret revealed by Ji Ting. The reason why the affair between Sword Master Bi Xiao and his sister was known to the royal family was because one of his family's most trusted guardian warriors had been secretly instigated by the Black Ice Mansion.
However, the legendary Black Ice Mansion only takes orders from the king, but now the situation seems to have become a bit complicated.
Turing Duo is a member of the Black Bing Mansion, and has been working for the Black Bing Mansion since he was fifteen years old.
Putting on the emissary's armor, black robe, mask, and token, Sauron transformed into the emissary of the Black Ice Mansion of Raging Waves.
Then, the body of the True Secret Messenger was completely buried in a deep sand pit.
The reason why Sauron pretended to be the secret envoy of the Black Ice Mansion of the Kingdom of Raging Waves was so that he could find out the truth. Later, he could march straight into the Amano coalition forces and enter Amano City smoothly.
Because at this time, this dead city has been completely surrounded, and no one can enter the ancient city.
…
Riding on the horse of the Black Ice Palace messenger, Sauron continued to run wildly.
He kept changing horses along the way. Three hours later, he ran for three hundred miles. Finally, the ancient city of Huangquan was just ahead.
At this time, it was already evening and night was about to fall.
The first thing Sauron saw was not the ancient city of Huangquan. It was the densely packed Amano City coalition army, which numbered more than 30,000 to 40,000 people.
If there are more than 10,000 soldiers, there will be no boundaries, let alone 30,000 or 40,000.
This ancient city of Huangquan is said to be a city, but it is just a larger castle, covering an area of only a thousand acres.
The 40,000 coalition troops were enough to completely surround the entire ancient city. There were troops and camps everywhere on the land within a few kilometers.
These tens of thousands of troops were clearly prepared for a protracted siege. They not only set up camps but also began to build siege fortifications.
Moreover, there are many mercenaries and wandering warriors arriving in a steady stream, and the situation has become extremely bad.
The ancient city of Huangquan, which was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, was completely silent at this time. There was not even a single watchman on the city wall.
Sauron felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know what the situation was like in the city, but it looked worse than the worst.
The Silver Wolf Legion was originally in a good situation. Although it was surrounded by crises, it was always proactive. However, after Yan Naier was assassinated, the Silver Wolf Legion was leaderless, and the situation has collapsed to this day.
Sauron can only pray now that Yan Naier is not seriously injured.
He rode a horse and drove straight in, directly in front of the Amano City coalition forces, and said: "There is a secret message that I want to submit to Yan Shuang. Make way immediately."
One of the officers was stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment. I will report it right away."
Suddenly, Sauron could only pray in his heart that Turing Duo should never be in the army.
After a while, the officer quickly ran over to Sauron and said: "The city lord please ask your envoy to go to the commander's tent."
Sauron's heart skipped a beat, his brows furrowed, and he said, "I want to go to Huangquan Ancient City to deliver a message, why do I need to see him?"
The officer said: "This is not something we can know. I can only obey orders. Your Majesty, please follow me."
Immediately afterwards, the eight warriors behind him stepped forward and vaguely sandwiched Sauron in the middle.
"Lead the way." Sauron said coldly.
Then, under the surveillance and outflanking of eight samurai, Sauron went to the central tent of the Amano coalition forces.
Fortunately, there was no Turing Duo inside, only Nozuna, the Lord of Amano Castle, and his trusted samurai.
Ji Gang swept away his previous humility in front of Fang Qingshu, his eyes shot towards Sauron like lightning, and said: "Who is your envoy Shangguan?"
"No comment." Sauron said coldly.
"Who is the envoy sending this letter to?" Ji Gang asked again.
"No comment." Sauron said.
Ji Gang said: "It's not that I don't trust the envoy, but that there are many spies taking advantage of the situation. They even kill the envoy on the way and replace him with his clothes. We have to guard against it."
After saying that, he stared at Sauron, motionless, as if trying to find any flaw in his eyes.
Sauron, on the other hand, said nothing and just stared at Ji Gang coldly.
"How about this?" Ji Gang said: "How about showing me your envoy's token to identify yourself? Just show me the token and I will let you go. After all, no one in the Black Bing Mansion of the Raging Waves Kingdom wants to offend.
I am no exception."
Sauron thought about it and wanted to take out the token. But soon, he stopped all actions.
Because, his mental power keenly read Ji Gang's complacency and cunning at this time.
This is a test. Ji Zuna is only the Lord of Amano City and has no authority to ask the envoy of the Black Ice Palace of the Furious Wave Kingdom to show the token. If Sauron shows it, it will only prove that he is a fake.
So Sauron continued to say coldly: "No comment!"
From beginning to end, Sauron didn't have a second expression or a second dialogue.
Sure enough, Amano City Lord Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The envoy is indeed true. Don't blame me for making a fuss. The situation has been really complicated recently. I will let someone take the envoy into the ancient city of Huangquan."
After saying that, his eyes were still fixed on Sauron. This old fox was still trying to trick him.
"No, I'll go alone." Sauron said decisively, and then walked directly outside.
Sure enough, Ji Gang did not stop him in any way and said: "Send the order and let the envoy enter the ancient city."
…
Next, Sauron drove straight in, passed through the encirclement of the Amano coalition forces, and entered the ancient city of Huangquan.
When he was still a hundred meters away from the city gate, an arrow was aimed at him. It turned out to be Fen Mo, an old acquaintance. He didn't expect that he would come back.
"Who is coming?" Fen Mo said coldly.
"Messenger of the Raging Waves, come to meet Miss Yan Shuang." Sauron said loudly.
Then, Fen Mo lowered his bow and arrow slightly and said, "Come in!"
Sauron entered the gate alone. As soon as he entered, the gate closed behind him. Then dozens of people surrounded him, and a sword was quickly placed across his neck.
Fen Mo sneered and said: "The assassin who assassinated Miss Yan Shuang before was sent by the Black Bing Mansion of the Nulang Kingdom. Since another one has come, don't think about getting out alive. Just cut off the head and bury it with us."
Sauron took off his mask and said to Fen Mo, "I am Lan Ling!"
Fen Mo was shocked and asked with complicated eyes: "You, why did you show up?"
He and Sauron were once rivals in love.
"It's hard to explain in words." Soran said: "Where is Miss Yan Shuang, take me to see her immediately."
Suddenly, several people present looked at each other, and then Fen Mo said: "I have no right to decide this matter, I can only report it to the Chief of Thousand People for you."
Then, Fen Mo left and reported to Yinlang Qianren.
Soon, a thin middle-aged man came out and looked at Sauron up and down for a long time.
This person is Chang Tu'an, a cavalry member of the Silver Wolf Legion. He has been following Yan Yan for more than 20 years and is one of Yan Shuang's most trusted people.
"Follow me," Tu An said, and then walked inside.
Sauron followed him and went deep into the ancient city of Huangquan.
Along the way, Sauron saw many warriors from the Silver Wolf Legion, lying on the ground in a mess, most of them with gray faces, desperate eyes, scarred, and broken bones.
Obviously, in the past month or so, their battle situation was more tragic than Sauron imagined.
Tu An took Sauron into a small building in the inner courtyard. There were two female warriors waiting outside the door.
"Lord Tu." The two of them greeted, and then looked towards Sauron.
"Open the door." Tu An ordered.
"But..." one of the female warriors said.
"It doesn't matter, open the door." Tu An said.
"Yes." The female warrior pushed the door open.
Soran immediately walked quickly into the room and saw the beauty on the bed at the first sight. His heart trembled and he exclaimed: "Nair, I'm back. How are you? Don't worry!"
