Chapter 1 Wolf Walking the Ancient Road

20days ago Xuanhuan Novels 5
It's spring

The bustling scene of flowers and green willows in Diecui Garden should be full of flowers.

But here, on the endless Gobi Ancient Road, you can't see half-star green

The sight is full of thick and deep yellow, yellow soil, yellow gravel and the sky that is yellowed by smoke and dust

I sat on the snow and walked west towards the round sunset. The golden afterglow shone on my dark armor, flashing with light

In the twilight, only the sunset in the sky adds a bright color to this world, which is completely cast by loess, making the world feel that it is not so lonely and monotonous.

On the 19th day after leaving the capital, we walked along the ancient road leading from Red Stone City to the Temple City and entered this desolate Gobi

It was here that day that I and Debo walked side by side and broke into the camp of the Black Flag Group at night, killing Chago, and finally triggering the darkness of destruction.

After the coronation ceremony of the new King of Biarrel, Earl Winrit took his daughter Martha to return to the imperial capital. Before his trip, he naturally decided to hold an engagement ceremony in the imperial capital.

Due to the implementation of the military merits and the numerous trivial matters of the Moon Wangjun, Chu Ku was so busy that the imperial capital could not be able to do anything

Fortunately, Count Winrit had no objection to this, and just asked me to be a witness for Ferro and Martha.

Through nearly three months of preliminary rectification, the situation in Biarrel has basically stabilized

After all, Kaolan has been in power for a short time, and after he was finished, there was no new successor to replace him.

After I arranged the military and political affairs of Biarrel, I took Ferro, Cuse and 500 silver armored guards and Debo to leave the Emerald City, preparing to go to the imperial capital to meet Jiaxiu

Because Xi Hanya was pregnant, she was not with her, and she was recovering and was not suitable for a long trip, so she asked Ganelli to stay and take care of the two of them.

As for Hongyu, there are still many things that she needs to deal with in the Gaoshan tribe.

Feiya is a little exception to the previous few, but I still left her at Red Rock City, Duke of Sands

On the surface, it seems that she wants her to spend a few more days with her father, but in fact I have a deeper consideration.

This is my second time to go to the imperial capital. The situation is very different from the previous one.

It's not that I am the king of Biarrel, but because the situation in the imperial capital is far more tense and subtle than more than half a year ago

Therefore, I don't want to have any worries about this trip, so that I can at least ensure that I will retreat in any bad situation.

With the strength of Kusai and An Jisi, even if the Temple wants to intercept it personally, it may not be successful.

As for those 500 silver armored guards, they followed me for years and were loyal to me.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to return to the imperial capital, I plan to let them go home in batches to visit their relatives, and then An Jisi will arrange to take all their families to Biarrel.

It's not that I'm sympathetic to them, but that I don't want someone to use my relatives to do some work.

Debo is an unexpected fellow traveler. I originally thought he would break up with me after he arrived in Red Rock City.

Who knew that this guy would continue to follow me in three days, saying that he would go to the imperial capital to visit and greet His Majesty Jiaxiu's illness on behalf of the Duke of Jinsha

The facts are probably not that simple. When the storm is coming, the Duke of Jinsha will send his eldest son to the imperial capital, which should be his intention.

This guy has been a lot of noise along the way

Kusse and Anjisi are both silent people, and Ferro is not good at long-term discussions. Only Debo talks tirelessly and even gambles with the silver armor guards in his spare time.

After walking in the Gobi for two days, Debo gradually began to calm down

After all, even if he faces the yellow sand and dust all day long, he will inevitably be unable to feel energetic. He just wants to get out of this empty land one day earlier.

After drinking carefully, Debo breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the horse and put on the awning in his hand and looked forward and said: Xiulan, it's almost dark. Let's find a leeward slope to camp for a while. There are at least 40 miles to reach the next oasis.

Ferro said: Your Majesty, my subordinates know that about three miles northwest, there is a leeward slope called "Gulangyan" by the business traveler. There is also a deep well there, which does not dry up all year round. Business travelers and herders usually rest there overnight. He has lived in the empire for many years, and he may not remember the number of times he traveled to and from this ancient road.

I looked at the sky and knew that I would not be able to get to the next station tonight no matter what.

So nodded and said: Just do it

We slightly adjusted the direction of our progress, and the long line was heading towards the northwest, but in this vast desert, it looked like little ants were constantly squirming

After walking for a while, the Gulangyan that Ferro mentioned was far away

Debo drank the last bite of water in his skin and waited for a while to drink it.

But things went against my wishes. A scout sent back with a look of astonishment on his face. Reported: Your Majesty, we found that the deep well had been poisoned. Two minstrels fell by the well and their bodies were stiff and their skin was dark. It seemed that they had been dead for a while.

Kusai sneered: It seems that someone is eyeing us

Debo said sadly: No, I am so unlucky? Last time it was a Black Flag Group, who was this trip?

I walked on the snow and said coldly: Let’s go and see it first!

The group rushed to the deep well where the accident happened. The two scouts stayed there had moved the bodies aside. I just looked at it and concluded that the scout was correct. Then I looked at the well that the ones that had been dug up had indeed emitted a faint phosphorescence in the dark light.

Debo saw it for a while and took out the skin and poured it out for two oops before he remembered that he had already drunk it. Ferro next to him handed over his water bag.

Debo murmured: Who is so unethical? He actually calculated that we were going to spend the night here, so he took the lead in poisoning the well. If I were to catch him, I would give him three drinks first!

An Jisi shook her head and said: He didn't calculate our route accurately, but monitored our whereabouts in the distance and then went to the water source in front of us to poison it.

Ferro asked: Is he trying to poison us?

An Jisi replied: He is not that stupid. He should understand that we cannot be so careless and drink poisoned well water directly. We just want to cause panic or the opponent is a very conceited person. I just want to give us a warning before starting.

Debo subconsciously looked around, but saw the vast world and the wilderness, not even the shadow of a flying bird

A night wind blows, with a little coolness

Debo couldn't help but shrink his neck and muttered: It seems that he needs to add some clothes tonight

At this time, the Akatsuki, who was squatting aside, suddenly raised his head, revealing a fierce light to scan around, and roared in his throat.

A cluster of faint light burst out from Kusai's eyes, and the purple pupil in his hand lit up, and a misty fog spread into the air.

He said in a low voice: Did you smell a fishy smell just now?

The fishy smell? Debo sucked it violently with his nose a few times and said: No?

An Ji pondered at the dark eyes and said slowly: Master Kusai said it well. I felt a little uneasy in my spiritual sense. Maybe the enemy is still far away from here, so this sensing is not very clear.

Debo's face changed and he leaned against me and whispered: Could it be that the thieves and bandits we killed on the day were unfair and came to us for revenge in the dark?

Don't talk nonsense, I rebuke indifferently, gather energy in my heart, and explore the spiritual sense to the depths of the distant Gobi Desert

Almost at the same time, An Jisi and Kusey shouted in a low voice: Wolf pack!

The shrill howl of wolf vaguely came from the bitter wind, but it was too far away for ordinary people to hear it clearly

Ding! The purple pupil's light bursts out, and the crystal sphere shows countless brown and gray wolves in the distant wilderness rushing towards us like a tide, forming a spectacular and chilling picture in the twilight

God, where did so many wild wolves come from? Debo's face turned a little white, and he licked his dry lips and said: Could it be for us, right?

It is not strange that wolves appeared in the Gobi desert, but there are indeed few such scales. No wonder Debo was a little panicked

Ferro had already taken on the job of commander of the silver armored guard along the way, and shouted without hesitation: Everyone got on the horse, formed a formation in a square and round on the top of the slope, and prepared torch the bow and arrow!

Although the situation was not completely understood, the trained 500 soldiers moved and quickly set up their formations and prepared for the battle according to the command of the commander.

About ten miles away, Kusai guessed the distance through his phantom purple pupil: Tonight is the full moon night, and it is also the time when the wolves are most ferocious. That bastard really knows how to choose the right time and place.

Let's find a way to escape quickly, there is no need to be a common experience with these beasts. Debo suggested

I sneered: Now that we are surrounded by wolves on all sides, there are at least tens of thousands of heads, where are you going?

Debo almost fainted and asked repeatedly: Why is this happening? Who wants to deal with us?

I don’t know, I replied calmly: But I will soon understand, of course, the premise is to live first with your life!

This is what Debo said. With the strength of me, Kusai and others, even thousands of evil wolves may not be able to stop him.

But it is hard to say how many people can escape from Debo and the 500 silver armored guards can escape.

Kusai suddenly muttered: Your Majesty, have you noticed anything? His eyes were staring at the Purple Pupil

I looked around and saw that in the pack of wolves, about every three or five hundred, a wolf with snow-white body and red eyes would appear, and its body was far taller and stronger than his kind, almost like a tiger

Snow Wolf? An Jisi said in surprise: This is a monster raised by the orcs. Could it be that the people from the Northern Alliance want to deal with us?

The Orcs are the second largest clan in the Northern Alliance, second only to the Demons

In fact, their population and army combat power are even greater than that of the demons. Unfortunately, there is friction between the tribes, and the orcs are cruel and scattered by nature, and they are cruel and aggressive. They are not as well-trained as those from the demons.

Among the three largest tribes among the orcs, there is a Night Wolf Tribe, where the famous wolf knights on the continent come from

The mounts under these wolf knights are the snow wolf that An Jisi mentioned. Fortunately, the number remains at about 10,000 for many years. Otherwise, if all the 200,000 orc troops were armed into wolf knights, it would be enough to sweep the continent.

The chief of the Night Wolf tribe, Gannett, is known as the Wolf King, and is one of the three kings of the Orcs. He is also a top figure in the entire Northern Alliance.

However, he has always had a tense relationship with the other two tribes, but he has been very close to the demons.

This raid on us is hard to guarantee that it is not his subordinates.

Debo took a breath and said: Oh no, even the snow wolf appeared, it was really bad tonight

I snorted coldly: If you are afraid, you can hide behind me

Debo straightened his chest and said: I, Debo, are also an Imperial Knight after all, how could I be afraid? Xiu Lan, let us fight side by side tonight!

I ignored this guy's speech-like bold words and looked into the horizon in the distance. The thick yellow smoke rose like clouds, and a slight tremor came from the ground beneath my feet.

Look, they are here! Ferro shouted

The first thing that appeared was the east direction. A snow wolf emerged from the end of the sight in the yellow dust. Then one, two, three, dozens or hundreds of wild wolves surrounded their wolf and rushed towards the hillside.

They kept terrifying howls, and looked up at the sky with cold eyes.

The dusk is low, and a full red moon is rising quietly in the distance

For a moment, it seemed that the moonlight also showed a drop of blood.

Then, a large number of wolves appeared almost at the same time in the north and southwest directions. We stood on the high slope and looked around, and it turned out like a brown-gray ocean.

Hundreds of war horses neighed in fear and struggled desperately, even their masters showed fear on their faces.

These silver-armored guards will not be afraid even when facing tens of thousands of enemies, but what comes to them is not people, but the vicious wolf pack!

Light a torch!

Bow and arrow ready!

Ferro sat calmly on his horse, his voice quickly infected the soldiers around him, and countless torches were lit, illuminating the blood-red brightness on the hillside.

Walking on the snow was unexpectedly quiet, it even lazy to look up to watch the surging wolves

I said slowly: Obviously, there are people instructing these wolves behind their backs. As long as this person is found, most of the problems will be solved.

Kusai shook his head and said: I just used the Purple Eyes to investigate within a radius of ten miles, but no trace of others was found.

What if it is an orc master whose cultivation is not inferior to you and me? I asked

Kusey was shocked and said: Could it be Garnett?

Drive Wanlang to siege, there are probably not many people with such strength in the orcs? An Jisi said calmly

Just as we were talking, the wolves were approaching the hillside, our ears were filled with howlings, and we could smell a foul stinking wind.

Shoot! With Ferro's order, the 500 silver armored guards formed into a circular array pulled the bowstring at the same time, and feather arrows tear the air and shot at the wolf group

Suddenly, more than 100 evil wolves were shot around and fell to the ground with a miserable tone.

However, the wolves beside them ignored the casualties of the same kind and rushed towards the hillside fiercely

An Jisi said: These wolves were trained in advance, they were like an army.

I understand what she means. Usually, once a companion dies, the first thing the wolves next to them needs to do is to share their bodies with their belly.

But now these wolves seem to be hypnotized, and they are rushing towards us regardless of the situation.

What's worse is that the smell of blood in the air further aroused the ferociousness of the wolf pack, and was not afraid of torches and feather arrows, surrounded from all directions.

You can imagine what a scene would be like once these wolves surge up the hillside!

The silver armored guard beside him naturally understood this. No one needed to remind him, everyone tried their best to pull the bowstring and shoot the wolf group.

Unfortunately, there are too many enemies in front of you. The four or five hundred people fell down in an instant were just a drop in the ocean.

Trampling on similar corpses, the crowd of wolves rushed towards them continuously under the leadership of the snow wolf.

An Jisi and Kusai launched magic attacks one after another. Each light ball would inevitably fly up the limbs of dozens of evil wolf limbs, which somewhat relieved the pressure of the silver armored guards.

Debo calmed down when he was about to make a big deal, and he focused on pulling the bow and arrow in his hand, aiming at the wolf pack to shoot.

His archery skills are actually good, and he can probably hit the target in almost every ten

I stood beside him, watching the overall change, and occasionally punched and burst out a bunch of wolves.

If it weren't for the fact that we had a few magician-level figures and Ferro were in charge, the wolf pack would have already rushed up the hillside at this moment.

However, although hundreds of evil wolves had fallen, only three of them were killed, and they still went out of the pens of Kusai and An Jisi respectively.

Ordinary feather arrows do not pose any threat to them at all, either easily avoid them, or use their front paws to fly them like humans.

It is conceivable how powerful such a monster is to be used on the battlefield!

Seeing the wolf pack shrinking the encirclement, I shouted in a low voice: Long Pili is ready!

This time I brought twenty dragon pirates to take advantage of the emergency, but I didn't expect to use them so soon

Boom Ten dragons and pirates were ignited and threw them into dense areas around the wolves, exploding raging flames, and suddenly a large number of evil wolves fell down the hillside, blood mixed with residual limbs and sprinkled all over the ground

In the smoke of gunpowder, the wolves wailed with fear and panic, and unconsciously retreated.

Looking at the wreckage left not far away, everyone was shocked

Debo said with a sigh: These guys finally retreated

Kusai sneered: Not necessarily!

Before he finished speaking, nearly a hundred snow wolf mixed in the pack were screaming at the sky, with a stunning sound, rippling straight towards the vast and distant desert.

Ferro's expression changed slightly: The snow wolf is showing his power

Sure enough, the wolves were ready to move again in the thunderous howling, first one or two, then spread like waves. The wolves around them catered to the snow wolf's roar with their shrill howling. The deafening roars of the wolves were stirred in the wilderness, which made the warma shudder and shivered.

The wolves moved slowly, and then the speed became faster and faster. Finally, they gathered into rolling waves and attacked the hillside again. Smoke and dust rose behind them, covering half of the night sky

Debo gasped and said: It's going to be a life-threatening thing now!

I glanced at him. It is rare to see a noble child like him who could sit on the horse and shoot the wolves safely.

But what's even more amazing is Ferro. This temple successor who is a little introverted and silent on weekdays has not yet truly revealed the tip of the iceberg. While commanding the silver-armored guards to set up their formations, he calmly bent his bow and shot the snow wolf without any panic.

Boom Five more dragons and pirates exploded in the wolf pack, but it could no longer stop the attack of the wolf pack except for causing local commotion.

I don't use the remaining five pieces anymore. Instead of consuming them without any help, it's better to keep them for the time being

General, I have used up my arrows! A silver-armored guard shouted in panic. In just a moment, the feather arrows carried by most people had been exhausted, and the wolves in front of them were also killed or injured, which shows how tragic the battle is

But there were still countless evil wolves coming around. Even further away, batches of wolves emerged from the end of the horizon from time to time under the guidance of snow wolf, constantly joining the ranks of besiegers.

It seems that the more wolves are killing more and more

As time goes by, bows and arrows gradually become sparse. If it weren't for the magic attacks of Kusai and others, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to support this moment.

Seeing that the recent wolves were forcing more than ten steps, they could breathe, and they could see their hideous fangs, cold eyes and fierce faces through the blood-red night.

I knew that bloody battles were inevitable, so I raised the long sword in my hand and sent the sound out from afar with dark energy: Draw the sword and follow me to the north to break through!
