Chapter 111 Going to the Expedition and Hidden Secrets
Lu Kanglai grew up in Zhanyunguan Pass since he was a child, and he knew every place here very well. Whether it was the spar tower, the holy land of the talisman master, or the dangerous Zhanyun Pass outside the city wall, almost everything had his footprints.
"This is the center of Zhanyunguan, and it is also the core part of Zhanyunguan. From here to the south there are two city walls, which we call the inner city. It is where various chambers of commerce and taverns are located, and where most civilians live.
On weekdays, the Self-Defense Forces are responsible for security. In case of war, patrols will take over. The city gate guards you see at the gate are the only forces in Zhanyunguan within the two city walls!" Lu Kanglai stood in the square.
Central Preaching.
"From here to the north, there are various associations, the residence of Zhanyunguan garrison, and the garrison of various armies. We call it the outer city. If a large-scale battle occurs, this square is also the gathering place for armies. From
Start from here and go everywhere! See that city wall over there? From there, there are six more similar routes to the north.
There are 10,000 troops stationed in each city wall, with a total of three legions. In addition, there is a mixed training group near the garrison envoy's residence, which is the mobile force of the entire Zhanyunguan. With three senior warriors
Led by the warriors, there are more than a hundred warriors and more than three hundred fourth-level warriors, and we are now among them!"
After listening to Lu Kanglai's introduction, Jin Ruofeng suddenly discovered a problem. Although Zhanyunguan Pass is different from Changfeng City, the defensive power of Zhanyunguan Pass does not seem to be strong. Even if the entire Zhanyunguan Pass is full, it will not exceed 70,000 troops.
, even if it counts
The manpower of the army at the rear is only about 100,000. In contrast, Iron Guard City also has an army of about 30,000, which can prevent Zhanyunguan from tampering. If the emperor issues a recruitment order, the possible reasons
It's all because of these 30,000 troops.
"Ruofeng, what are you thinking about?" Lu Kanglai knew that Jin Ruofeng was well versed in pass matters and there were some things he couldn't hide from him.
"I think I know what happened to the Iron Guard!"
"You know?" Lin Mu looked at Jin Ruofeng in surprise.
"If it hadn't been for the mutiny among the 30,000 troops, there would have been only one possibility for Zhanyunguan to be in trouble!" Jin Ruofeng said in a heavy voice, "The living dead!"
As soon as these words came out, several people around him were shocked. This kind of thing must not come true. Thirty thousand living dead, what kind of concept is this? The appearance of hundreds of living dead in the endless forest has already made people feel uncomfortable.
People are in dire straits. If 30,000 living dead appear, this monster wasteland will definitely become the hunting team's graveyard.
"Actually, my uncle didn't believe this at the beginning, but after I told him about the endless forest, he became skeptical. After all, Zhanyunguan sent dozens of scouts but no news came back!"
"Why not let senior warriors come forward? With their strength, even the living dead can escape smoothly!"
"Who said they weren't sent out?" Lu Kanglai smiled bitterly, "Uncle even sent out two high-level warriors at once, but who knew they were stopped halfway!"
"A ninth-grade monster appeared in the wasteland!" ** said, "Although the two of them are not sure about taking down this monster, they are still capable of fighting, but there seems to be a bigger one behind the ninth-grade monster.
Due to the pressure, for the sake of safety, they withdrew!"
"What is even more strange is that one day after the senior warriors returned to Zhanyun Pass, two hunting teams also came back. They did not find any monsters exceeding the sixth grade within fifty miles around Zhanyun Pass!"
Lu Kanglai's words made several people dumbfounded. Obviously, senior warriors would not lie, but how to explain the success of the hunting team who returned safely?
It seems that this incident at Zhanyunguan is something to behold. Being able to make the ninth-grade monster come forward is obviously not something Yuan Lu can do. If it is not the living dead, what can be done to make the 30,000-strong army
No news?
The scale of Zhanyunguan Pass is indeed not small, but most of it is where the army is stationed. Even if Lu Kanglai leads the team, it is difficult to enter. Only the inner city is not restricted. The taverns and inns everywhere are almost overcrowded, because of the Iron Guard City's
As a result, many hunting teams have returned to Zhanyunguan in advance, and various news are also circulating, but none of them can be confirmed.
At the residence of the Zhanyunguan garrison, the highest authority in Zhanyunguan, Lu Fengyuan hosted a banquet to entertain the reinforcements. In addition to the heads of the five major halls, there was also a partial general of the Tiger Guard and
The Major General of the Zhongwu Army, plus the directors of various associations stationed at Zhanyunguan and the heads of several large chambers of commerce, all the people here stomped their feet and trembled when they walked out.
Lu Fengyuan briefly explained the situation faced by Zhanyunguan this time. Everyone knew more or less about this before, but from what General Huwei said, everyone still felt the seriousness of the matter, no matter what
Neither the scout team nor the high-level warriors can approach the Iron Guard City. This situation has never been seen by these well-informed masters.
"General Lu, you have been at Zhanyunguan for many years and you know that the size of this place is suitable. I wonder how the general plans to deal with it?" The person who spoke was a deputy director of the Sea and Air Academy.
"It's very simple. Tomorrow, I will send a vanguard to the Iron Guard City, with three thousand troops following behind. There will be ten golden-winged eagles in the team to deliver news at all times. If no accidents happen in two hours, our five universities will
When the people from the pavilion set out again, I will ask Mr. Zhong to lead a mixed group to support you. In addition, I will dispatch 10,000 troops to meet you at any time along the way! If everything goes well, we will be able to reach the Iron Guard City in the evening."
Theoretically speaking, there is no problem with Lu Fengyuan's arrangement. After all, whether it is the vanguard or the elites of the Five Colleges, they are all as good as ten. Coupled with the strength of the mixed group, they are enough to crush any monster below the eighth grade.
, even if you face a group of monster beasts around the seventh level, there will definitely not be any big problems. The key is whether there will be any accidents.
The ninth-grade monster that appeared last time worried Lu Fengyuan, so this time, except for Mr. Zhong from the mixed group, all the senior warriors would not participate. Instead, they would stay near Zhanyun Pass and guard the area.
Send the residence to major chambers of commerce and hunting teams
The customs closure order was issued. From now on, all hunting teams are not allowed to leave the customs until the whole team comes back. All the major chambers of commerce agree on this. Everyone’s life is precious. If a ninth-level demon really appears.
If it were a beast, everyone would just wait for death.
The banquet simply dispersed, and the person in charge of the Five University Hall immediately conveyed the order. Everyone was ready to face the inexplicable challenge, except of course the three guys who wandered back.
Ye Qing almost raised his eyebrows and told Shi Mang that he must be optimistic about Lin Mu and Jin Ruofeng, especially Lin Mu. This guy is the treasure of the great witch doctor. If something goes wrong, the great witch doctor can destroy the Zhenyun Academy.
However, Ye Qing did not have the guts to say that Lin Mu would not be allowed to participate in this operation.
In the early morning of the next day, all the teams were ready. Everyone was organized into five teams according to the school's consciousness. Except for Zhenyun Academy, the other four schools were headed by mid-level warriors. Only
The person in charge of Zhenyun Academy is Ye Qing, a level 4 warrior who has not yet become a warrior.
Martial warrior, but no one dares to underestimate this little martial uncle Zhenyun. His strength has reached the level of a warrior warrior. In addition, he himself is a metal type with extremely strong attack power, and his actual combat experience exceeds that of many people.
, when it comes to real combat, he is as good as any of them.
The vanguard had already set off in the middle of the night. They were followed by three thousand troops. They were obviously meant to be escorted. By the time it got light, Jin Ruofeng was already standing on the northernmost wall of Zhanyunguan Pass.
The city wall itself was built on a vertical cliff
Above, several waterfalls gush out from a height of hundreds of feet, scattering countless water droplets in the air, watering the vast valley below the city wall. From here to the north, winding paths formed by hunting teams over thousands of years are looming.
, this is the Cloud-Zhancing Path, one of the five most dangerous places in Zhongzhou.
The sharp chirping of golden-winged eagles kept coming from the air, quickly conveying the situation ahead. Judging from the current situation, everything seemed to be going smoothly. The vanguard had already passed half of the journey, and had even reached the end of the journey.
You can see the tall walls of the Iron Acropolis on the wasteland in the distance.
"Let's go!" Lu Yuanfeng led a dozen senior warriors to watch the group set off.
Jin Ruofeng raised his head and glanced at the high-level warriors on the city wall. If these people took action, let alone the ninth-grade monsters, even the beast generals would have to retreat with hatred.
There is no road leading to the wasteland in Zhanyunguan, and naturally there is no city gate. All people entering and exiting rely on huge lifting cages. This kind of cage can carry hundreds of people at a time. A total of 100 people are installed on the north wall of Zhanyunguan.
Nearly a hundred of them were killed, and nearly 10,000 troops could be released at one time.
After the cage slowly landed on the ground, Jin Ruofeng discovered that hundreds of huge talismans were engraved on the landing site, extending thousands of steps away. Once a monster came near, these talismans would
Activate it immediately, so that the monster will never come back.
"What a tight defense!" Jin Ruofeng couldn't help but admired. Compared with the defense here, Changfeng City is a scumbag!
"Are you Master Lin, Master Jin, and Mr. Shi?" A strong man wearing armor suddenly appeared in front of Lin Mu.
"yes!"
"Young Master asked me to come and pick you up!"
Jin Ruofeng glanced behind the strong man. A team of 100 people seemed to be standing there loosely, but it was obvious that these people were experienced in many battles. Their position ensured that no matter which direction danger appeared from, there would be corresponding defenses.
He had seen this kind of defense in Huang Zhenyu's personal guards before. Although it was just a one-time encounter, it left a deep impression on him. It was obvious that these people were most likely from the guards of the envoy's residence!
