Chapter 142 Speculation (2 in 1)
A caravan is driving on the official road leading to Shengshan County, with endless refugee camps on both sides.
In the middle of the caravan, a middle-aged man carrying a halberd and riding a steed looked worriedly at the refugee camps on both sides, his lips and teeth moved slightly:
"Too much"
A young man who was also riding a horse came over and asked in a low voice:
"Tou Xue, what is too much?"
The steeds the two rode were all of the blood of monsters, tall and handsome, with extremely distinct muscles.
The middle-aged man glanced sideways at the young man:
“There are too many refugees.”
The young man then looked back at the refugees, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice:
"In this way, the refugee camp here is indeed much larger than what I have seen before, but what's wrong?"
The eyes of the middle-aged man are deeply worried:
"If you don't pay attention, there will be riots in these refugee camps."
The young man was a little disapproving, pointing to the military camp stationed in the distance:
"There are frontier troops stationed over there. Judging by the size of the barracks, there is at least a thousand-man army, and riots are not a concern."
The middle-aged man sighed and said in a low voice:
"I'm not worried about Shengshan County, but about our caravans."
The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became weird. Looking at the numb refugees, he said in a low voice:
"Shouldn't be, it's a felony to harass officials."
The middle-aged man shook his head:
"If you can't survive, who cares about this? I hope that the inspection by the court supervisor Tiansi can quickly evacuate these refugees. If these refugees continue to gather like this, they may really be doomed."
The young man's eyes flashed, and he slightly clenched the weapon in his hand:
"Well, the scale of the monster wave near the Wanxing Mountains this time seems to be."
And his voice did not fall,
A flock of birds suddenly flew out of the rolling forest on one side of the official road.
A large flock of birds,
It is so big that it can almost block out the sun!
The flock of birds came and went quickly, and within a few breaths, they had passed the top of the official road and fled towards the territory of Dayan
And this sudden change, everyone on the official road saw it, and it made everything on the official road seem to press the stop button.
Everyone knows what these flying birds represent, but no one dares to act rashly in this position.
And in all this stillness,
The hand of the middle-aged man holding the halberd began to tremble slightly, but instead of looking in the direction of the forest, he looked at the refugee camp again:
"The monsters are coming, ready to fight"
The young man came back to his senses:
"What?"
The middle-aged man waved his long halberd and let out a bang:
"The caravan gathers its formation and prepares for battle!"
“.”
Wicked beasts are still a mountain forest to break through.
As the first monster entered the refugee camp, and as a refugee died in the mouth of the monster, the panic spread uncontrollably!
Horrified screams, mournful whines, and angry shouts rang out almost immediately, as if a certain domino had been toppled, and chaos quickly spread in the slums on both sides of the official road.
"The monster. The monster is coming!! Run!"
"Ah! Help."
"Zhi Niang, the village is gone, and even this Erxipo won't let people stay, the imperial court"
"My child, where is my child?! Erba!"
"No, don't grab my food, it's for my mother's life, don't kill me! Please!"
"Run, Faner, don't run to the official road, the masters there will not show mercy, run to Shengshan County!!"
As the panic spread, the refugee camp exploded like boiling water.
In the refugee camp on the side of the Wanxing Mountain Range, countless ragged people rushed towards the official road like an avalanche.
Some people want to escape to the other side of the official road, but some people want to take advantage of the chaos to grab a fortune.
People who were coerced and people with ulterior motives rushed to the various caravans on the official road wave after wave.
The caravans on the official road reacted equally quickly when they saw such a scene.
"These refugees are crazy!"
"The dart team is ready! Anyone who collides with the caravan will be killed without mercy!"
"The caravan from all over the world dare to **** it?! Kill!"
"These are ordinary people, do you really want to do it?!"
"Asshole! Ordinary people will come to grab the goods?! This group of people is crazy!"
"If you don't do anything, these refugees will not show mercy to you. You will pay the merchant for the goods?! Kill!!"
The bodyguards and knights guarding the caravan pulled out their sabers one after another, but these shining sharp blades still failed to stop the tide of refugees engulfed by panic and madness
After the refugee wave swept the caravan on the official road like a sea tide, it swept to Shengshan County not far away!
The moment the monsters appeared, the psychedelic formation engraved around Shengshan County was immediately activated, and within a blink of an eye, Shengshan County and the boundary of one kilometer outside Shengshan County were covered by a thick layer of white fog .
Looking down from the sky, the entire Shengshan County seems to have disappeared.
But this is for the outside world, and the internal chaos in the phantom array still continues.
Even though most of the monsters have been isolated, the dark tide of refugees is still rushing towards the well-defined city wall like ants!
The emotions of panic have swallowed up the rationality of these poor people. They desperately want to run to a place they think is safe, even though the monster behind them has been blocked.
It's a pity that the frontier army in Shengshan County will not allow them to enter the city.
The generals in charge of Shengshan County know very well that letting these crazy refugees enter the city will cause even greater disasters.
The frontier troops stationed on the edge of the refugee camp formed an army formation and waited in full force.
Being persuaded by the frontier general Qu to no avail, and under the constant impact of the surging refugee tide,
Killing, start.
kill!
Those who dare to storm the city gate will be killed, so that this group of crazy refugees can calm down.
finally,
The chaos was finally confined outside Shengshan County.
In just half an hour, Wanbian died so silently under the turmoil caused by the monsters, and the number of people who really died at the mouth of the monsters was no more than a hundred people.
Shengshan County has three city gates in the east, north, and south. Because the west faces the Wanxing Mountains, there is no gate.
After the passage of commercial roads, Shengshan County set up three markets in the east, north and south along the three city gates.
Every market is very lively, and the management method is very simple and rude.
Garrison troops.
Now the chief executive of Shengshan County is a school lieutenant general. It is really difficult to expect a big boss to manage these things.
An army of 500 people was stationed next to each market, and anyone who dared to do anything in the market would be dragged out and chopped down.
There are disadvantages and advantages of being in charge of the general. At least in an emergency, the response speed of the entire Shengshan County is much faster than that of the bureaucrats.
For example, now,
Within half an hour after the wave of monsters arrived, the busy market was forcibly emptied.
Teams of frontier soldiers with sharp knives were patrolling back and forth in the city.
In fact, the moment Xu Yuan saw the psychedelic formation start, Xu Yuan knew that if there were no accidents, there should be another accident.
And so it is,
In addition to the sergeants patrolling the streets, every once in a while there will be people on horseback shouting along the street to appease the hearts of the people.
However, according to the speaker’s description, this time the wave of monsters is not large, General Li Pian has already led the troops out of the city to kill the monsters under the order of Captain Wang.
The psychedelic formation set up by Xu Xinyao can completely trap the incoming monsters in the mist phantom formation, and draw them out in batches, allowing the formed army to encircle and kill them in batches.
Efficient and safe.
According to the description of the caller, this formation will probably be withdrawn tomorrow.
Taking a last look at the streets under martial law, Xu Yuan shook his head lightly, turned around and sat back on the bed.
Ran Qingmo was next door, and they did not share a room.
After a short moment of silence, Xu Yuan whispered:
"Old man Luo?"
“.”
Be quiet for a moment,
The voice of the saint's remnant soul came over, the voice was relaxed and smiling:
"how?"
"You said, with the wisdom of these monsters, how would they know how to attack the city?"
"Um?"
The remnant soul of the sage snorted lightly, then said with a low smile:
"There are more than a dozen of these monsters in a litter. Gu Yuan can't support this large population, so we can only use these monsters as consumables to expand outward."
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"I know this,
"I mean, why do these monsters like to gnaw hard bones like city fortresses?
"Isn't it good to rush over from some corners? Anyway, they are all consumables. You don't need to think about how to go back. As long as you rush into the hinterland, it will naturally increase the troubles for the Great Yan Dynasty."
The remnant soul of the saint said in a leisurely tone:
"Monsters don't have intelligence, but monster races do."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly realized the meaning of the saint's remnant soul, but after a long while, he only uttered five words:
"Another infighting. 6."
"Fighting" on the border, Dayan's sect and the imperial court will hold each other back, but if they really break into the hinterland, it will violate the common interests of the imperial court and the sect. Zongmen, let them join forces with the imperial court to conquer Gu Yuan, it would really outweigh the gains for the monster race in Gu Yuan.
"Sneaky? It's really slippery."
The remnant soul of the saint grinned:
"The monster beast tide in the Wanxing Mountains every spring only attacks the towns, which can be regarded as a routine temptation of Gu Yuan.
"As long as your Great Yan Dynasty can defend it every year, then everyone will live in peace, but if your Great Yan Dynasty is unable to maintain the 100,000-mile border line of the Wanxing Mountains in a certain year, Gu Yuan will probably have to consider whether it is necessary or not. For real.
"The fertile soil in the Central Plains is much better than that place in Gu Yuan."
“.”
Xu Yuan was a little dazed when he heard these words.
He thought of the world lines of "Gu Yuan" in Cangyuan as the final boss. It is estimated that those world lines were due to the inability of the Yan Dynasty to maintain this long border line, which led Gu Yuan to judge that Dayan was weak, and took the opportunity to invade
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan looked at the fog layer outside, and suddenly asked:
"Old man Luo, can you forcefully break through this phantom formation?"
"What?" The remnant soul of the saint looked a little surprised.
Xu Yuan repeated in a low voice:
"I said, can you and Ran Qingmo lead me out of this psychedelic formation?"
"If the old man is in his prime."
"Okay, stop talking." Xu Yuan sighed.
"Tsk you boy."
The remnant soul of the saint smacked his lips, but immediately asked: "What are you worried about, kid?"
"This afternoon, before Zhou Xiaohe left, he said that he would come back to the inn this evening to look for us, but they haven't come yet." Xu Yuan's tone was dignified.
The remnant soul of the saint reacted quickly:
"Do you suspect that this monster attack on the city has something to do with the Wanxiang sect?"
Xu Yuan nodded:
"At the time, I didn't think about it so much. Just half an hour after the two of them left, the wave of monsters came, and the status of the two of them should not be low in the Wanxiang sect. It's a coincidence."
The remnant soul of the saint hesitated slightly:
"But the Wanxiang sect has no reason to arrange a monster attacking the city. What good are dead people doing to them?"
Xu Yuan got up slowly, walked towards Ran Qingmo's room next door, and whispered in his heart:
"This is what I can't figure out. First, spend so much money to cooperate with my fourth sister to build this psychedelic formation, and then arrange this scene of monsters attacking the city. Except for the dead, this Wanxiang sect"
Speaking of which,
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly twitched, and his feet were also thumped:
"This Wanxiang sect. Shouldn't it be?"
The thought that flashed in Xu Yuan's mind made Xu Yuan feel a little unbelievable.
"Why not?" The saint remnant asked.
Xu Yuan hesitated a little, but glanced at the soul ring and spit out a word:
"Ghost fog."
“.”
Hearing this, the remnant soul of the saint was obviously stunned for a moment.
Xu Yuan didn't go out in a hurry, but just put his hand on the wooden door, lost in thought.
"You mean that Wanxiang sect wants to create ghost fog?" The voice of the saint's remnant soul became very interesting.
Xu Yuan ignored the old man, frowned and said:
"This is hundreds of thousands of people. The Wanxiang Sect shouldn't have the guts to blatantly create ghost fog?"
The remnant soul of the saint did not have Xu Yuan's hesitation, and said in a relaxed voice:
"Boy Xu, this is not brazen."
"Um?"
"The big formation set up by your sister can isolate everything inside. Even if all the people inside die, people outside will only regard it as monsters."
“.”
Xu Yuan was slightly silent, with hesitation in his eyes:
"The number of hundreds of thousands of people who can be sacrificed is enough to make the Wanxiang sect."
"No one will know."
The remnant soul of the saint shook his head and interrupted.
"." Xu Yuan.
The remnant soul of the saint smiled softly, and said in a low voice:
"Actually, it's very simple for you to verify your own ideas. Go to the Yamen and ask the generals of the frontier army to see if the magic formation can be closed, and see how many monsters are attacking this time. If it’s up, it’s pretty close.”
Xu Yuan pondered for a while, his eyes were extremely serious:
"That's it, first ask Ran Qingmo to go to the county government to have a look. If the Wanxiang Sect really wants to create ghost fog here, they should secretly deploy other formations."
The remnant soul of the sage heard this and silently reminded:
"Restraint, even if the power of the formation in this city is damaged, Ran girl and I will not feel good under full operation, not to mention that the frontier army in this city can still form an army formation."
Xu Yuan pushed the door out:
"Don't worry, I know how to measure."
