The first priest of Wu City, Wu Xiang, suddenly issued an appeal to the entire Eastern Continent: all forces should join the Anti-Horned United Army to jointly resist the invasion of the Horned People and drive the Horned People out of the Eastern Continent.
Unexpectedly, and within everyone's expectations, Jiu Yuan became the first person to respond to Wu Xiang's call.
After Jiuyuan, Shuicheng, which was persecuted more by horned people because of its proximity to the sea, also announced to join the coalition army.
However, as soon as the witch elephant issued an appeal against the horned man, Kuipa, the fifth priest of Huocheng and Wucheng, jointly issued a statement, saying that the first priest of Wucheng had lost the ability to predict, and Wucheng could no longer maintain its special status. Uptown will re-establish the Uptown Alliance and jointly elect the leader, which will be rotated every ten years in order to fight against all enemies.
Wu Xiang and his warrior Fei Shan immediately summoned the twelve priests to drive Kuipa out of Wu City.
Kuipa bewitched the giants and nearly half of the priests to stand on his side. Just as Feishan was about to deal with them, the Zergs followed suit and suddenly announced that they would leave Wucheng. Since then, Wucheng has been divided into three parts.
Things happened too fast, and within two days Wucheng lost its past glory, which even Yan Mo, who planned this appeal, did not expect.
Wu Xiang accepted this very frankly, he had lived in the prophecy all his life, and he was not surprised at the result of Wu Cheng. In turn, he comforted Yan Mo who came to see them in the middle of the night, saying that he had already foreseen that there would be a major change in Wucheng, and the actions of "Kuipa" did not exceed his expectations. It's just that the departure of the buggers and giants made him a little unexpected.
There is one thing that Wu Xiang didn't tell Yan Mo, that is: there must be ups and downs. When he saw Yan Mo, he had already predicted that after the rise of Jiuyuan, Wucheng would fall. .
Yan Mo originally wanted to ask who this Kuipa was, but Wu Xiang smiled and said nothing, and he couldn't figure out whether Wu Xiang was playing tricks or he really didn't know.
Regarding this change in Wucheng, when other Shangcheng and other forces were not sure how to choose, the Dingyue tribe also stepped in and even announced that they had established a tribal alliance and hoped that more tribes would join them. The advantage is that they The new tribe will be provided with weapons, food, slaves, etc.
On the surface, the forces in the Eastern Continent were divided into three major groups at once.
However, these three major forces are not stable. Except for some forces including Jiuyuan in the first one, the second and third ones are in the process of rapid plundering.
Huocheng began to aggressively annex the surrounding forces, among which the territory that originally belonged to Tucheng and should now belong to Jiuyuan accounted for more than half.
Jiuyuan just looked at it and didn't move.
Huocheng didn't know whether he was sure that Jiuyuan didn't have enough manpower to take over these sites, or that they were entangled by horned people and had no time to clone themselves, occupying the sites was a joy.
The dark city seems to be very close to the fire city, but the intentions of other forces are unclear. However, Yincheng and Ancheng, which are adjacent to the Tucheng territory, are secretly encroaching on the original Tucheng territory and receiving their escaped soldiers and other populations.
And Tianzhu City, which belonged to the Lower City of Huocheng, became Zhongcheng City, General Zhefei became the new city lord, and also became the most threatening force on the border of Jiuyuan. The dwarves said that without the obstruction of Father God Mountain, Huocheng might break into their territory.
The dwarves were forced to withdraw all troops sent to support Jiuyuan in order to defend the border.
If they didn't know that Jiuyuan was in danger, the dwarves would beg the high-level fighters of Jiuyuan to help them guard the border.
The Dingyue tribe was not idle either. They sent an army to Jiuyuan, and at the same time started the battle to gather the tribes in the lower reaches of the river, that is, in the hinterland of the mainland. In that area, the Nine Great Upper Cities did not set foot in much, only the Wooden City and the Tucheng were connected to this area. It was not that the Nine Great Upper Cities did not want to develop there, but that there was originally a very powerful intelligent race living there. There are also terrible ancient legends in the region that have been circulating in the ears of priests of various forces.
It was originally called the Demon God's Domain, and anyone from the Nine Upper Cities would not easily go there. Who would have thought that after tens of thousands of years, a Dingyue tribe would appear there.
"In this way, everything that should be done has been done. Regardless of the city of fire, the Ding Yue is really ambitious." Yan Mo stretched his waist. During this time, he was busy during the day and at night, Didn't have a good rest.
Yuan Zhan pushed him down, rode on him and massaged him, "If I get those weapons, I will also expand my ambition, just like I got you now."
"You got me?" Yan Mo smiled strangely.
Yuan Zhan took off his pants, bowed his head and kissed him, "You got me, my lord priest, I will be the sharpest knife and the most solid shield in your hands, and my spear is only Work hard for you."
As the man spoke, he showed his spear and buried it hard.
Yan Mo who was about to enjoy the massage: "..."
A few days later, the spy scouts discovered that the priest who was supposed to go back to Jiuyuan to sit in the town had returned to the road construction team, and Yan Mo's behavior made some forces puzzled even more, and they dared not act rashly.
No matter how tense the real situation is, in the process of paving the road, Yan Mo can find some small surprises every day, and these surprises more or less offset the sorrow brought by energy guns.
"This is not a weed vine, this is a chopped melon?" Yan Mo made a preliminary judgment by looking at the nick that was bitten off on the long melon.
"Chop melon?" Yuan Zhan saw this kind of plant for the first time.
Yan Mo simply used the guide to verify, but the answer was as expected, "This thing is a variant of pumpkin. If it wasn't a seed from afar, there should be pumpkins around here. God, these two are good things! Find it, find it quickly!" come out."
"You haven't said what cutting melons is." Yuan Zhan didn't move.
"It's an edible long melon. If you cut it off or bite it off, its wound will heal quickly. Not to mention other advantages of this kind of melon, just don't pick it off the vine. When needed Cut a piece and eat it, and the fact that it will continue to grow and not spoil is well worth planting."
"And this kind of melon?" Yuan Zhan suddenly became interested, "What about the pumpkin?"
"Pumpkins can be placed for a long time after picking, and all kinds of food can be called gourmet food, and there are many benefits. In short, look for it quickly!"
So the road repair team temporarily stopped paving the road, and started to search for the plants drawn by Master Mo Wu. During this time, they have become very accustomed to this kind of pause and search.
In the end, a small gourd-shaped pumpkin that was only the size of a fist was found in a valley about a hundred miles away from the cut melon.
And these two kinds of melons are just the second surprises on the way of road construction and treasure hunting.
Every time Yan Mo finds these useful plants, his mood becomes much better, which gives him a lot of motivation to go to the big cities to grind his mouth.
On the night when he found chopping melons and pumpkins, he went to Mucheng with the two kinds of melons and energy guns, and had a secret talk with the city lord of Mucheng and their high priest.
On the second day, Mucheng announced that he would join the Anti-Horned United Army.
Yan Mo exchanged two kinds of melons for Dengmu.
When the road repaired to the shadowy side of a big mountain, it happened to be night, and they found fluorescent mushrooms that glowed at night.
On a whim, Yan Mo moved some of these mushrooms and planted them under the shade of the roadside trees. Although he didn't know if they would survive, anyway, he made a wish first. If they survived, wouldn't the road have a floor lamp at night
That night, Yan Mo went to Yincheng with these glowing mushrooms and energy guns.
But Yincheng's attitude was not as clear as that of Mucheng. In the end, they only said that they would consider it, but at the same time they also expressed their concerns: Huocheng also invited them to join the Shangcheng League.
Yincheng said that they can't afford to offend either side, so they can only think about it.
Yan Mo expressed his understanding, and exchanged the glowing mushrooms and the porcelain prepared in the space for some witch medicine prescriptions and a large amount of talc in Yincheng.
On the night that Yan Mo left Yincheng, the princess of Yincheng also left Yincheng. Except for a few people, no one knew where she went.
When the army of the Dingyue tribe was still ten days away from them.
"Mo, let's see what this is?" Yuan Zhan occasionally found some strange plants with his intuition when moving the vegetation, and now he is used to collecting them for Yan Mo to distinguish.
Yan Mo got it in his hand and identified it first. If he didn't recognize it, he asked the guide again. After the guide gave the answer, Yan Mo laughed: "Strawberry! It turned out to be a strawberry seedling!"
Yuan Zhan: "Good stuff?"
"Of course it's a good thing. It's a pretty good fruit, but I don't know whether it's a dessert or a sour one. Anyway, take it back first."
In addition to plants, of course some surface minerals and exotic animals were also found.
For example, the meat tastes delicious, and it is very similar to the turkey. This kind of bird is larger and has a strong charge, but it is a three-axe. You just need to avoid its charge, and it is easy to kill it with a backhand, because this kind of bird Birds turn their heads more sluggishly.
Because Jiufeng likes to eat this kind of bird, they caught many of them, and Yan Mo planned to take them back and raise them as meat and poultry.
Later, they also found a kind of animal that is very suitable for coolies in the grassland area near Tucheng, the long-necked camel. These animals are not ordinary animals, they all have supernatural powers, their special long nose can absorb water, store water and spray water, and they also release water arrows in this way to drive away the enemy.
Yan Mo was very happy when he discovered this animal. The giraffe may not run as fast as the wildebeest, but it has excellent endurance and is kind-hearted by nature, so it can speak well.
As soon as Yan Mo said that he would take them to a better place, he would raise them in the winter, and the price was that as long as they helped the camels with their things, these long-necked camels agreed without even bargaining.
Seeing them so easy to deceive, Yan Mo felt a little embarrassed. Of course, he will not let the group of long-necked camels go just because of this, at most he will treat them better in the future, so that the people of Jiuyuan will treat them as partners.
There are many plants and useful species found in this way, and Yan Mo didn't have time to identify them one by one, because more and more troubles came to them along the way.
Now some people have already guessed that the mysterious force that wiped out the Horned Man all the way is probably Jiuyuan’s missing Mo Wu and the leader who went to find him. After all, Yan Mo and the others did not hide their whereabouts very much along the way. Always do good deeds and must leave a name to tell the other party: They are from Jiuyuan, and they are the people of the ancestor gods.
After hearing the rumors, the nearest water city sent an envoy to look for it all the way, and when the envoy discovered the grand road that was about to be paved to Tucheng, everyone was dumbfounded.
Yan Mo and his group did not intend to hide their whereabouts at this time. Seeing the messenger from Shuicheng, Yan Mo immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Is this road okay? If you have any related needs in Shuicheng, you can come to Jiuyuan. Keep it to your satisfaction."
Shuicheng envoy: "...hehe." This Lord Mo Wu must be joking, right? Such precious and powerful high-ranking blood warriors are actually allowed to be coolies for road construction
The envoy of Shuicheng really wanted to ask what they were doing with such a road, but he didn't dare to ask casually, but he had to complete the instructions above, so he could only ask cheekily: "Who are you?"
"Fix the road."
I know. "but why?"
"For the convenience of walking."
The envoy of Shuicheng didn't believe that so many high-ranking blood warriors built such a wide, long, smooth and beautiful road, just for the convenience of walking? There must be some important ulterior purpose, right? Perhaps this path is the key to defeating the Horned Man
The envoy of Shuicheng thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't continue to ask, pretending to believe it.
Before the envoy of Shuicheng was about to return to his command, Yan Mo called him: "By the way, please help me spread the word about something, that is, Mo Wu of Jiuyuan and his disciple Sumen of the Baijiao tribe can relieve the horned tribe. Slave Bone, if anyone wants to release this bondage, come to Jiuyuan to find them."
There are quite a few people who know that Yan Mo can lift slave bones. The story has already spread in Wucheng, but the strange thing is that Yan Mo found that none of the natives knew that he could lift slave bones.
Maybe it's because most of the sites they passed through before belonged to empty cities and earth cities
The Ding Yue army was still eight days away from the original battle.
The horned man was wondering why the leaders and priests of Jiuyuan didn't fight them immediately when they came back, especially their leaders and priests would rather stay outside to pave the way, which was simply inexplicable.
They were waiting for Ding Yue's army to face Yuan Zhan face to face. They wanted to see what the two forces were planning. The people with horns didn't believe that Ding Yue would really stand by them, they even suspected that Ding Yue had colluded with Jiu Yuan.
The other forces couldn't figure out what Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo were thinking, even though the people of Nine Elements blindly trusted them, they didn't have murmurs in their hearts.
Shen Gu led a group of people out of the battlefield and quietly rushed to the place designated by the priest. His deputy, Lan Die, stayed and continued to be in charge of defending the battlefield.
During the break on the road, I heard Zhu Neng talking to the soldiers of the team. Seeing that Zhu Neng couldn't explain clearly, maybe he himself was also a little confused, so he took over the conversation: "Our Jiuyuan defeated the horned man, wiped them out, and drove them away. Yes, then what?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and then what? Of course you have a good time.
Zhu Neng was originally clever, and when he heard Fukaya say this, he immediately understood what he couldn't figure out, "Ah, I understand."
The soldiers didn't dare to follow Shengu to ask, but they all asked Zhu Neng what he understood.
Zhu Neng looked at Shengu and saw that he did not object, so he explained to everyone: "The horned people are clearly all the intelligent races on our land. They also dealt with the Nine Great Upper Cities at the beginning, but now they are Put all the main force in our Jiuyuan, wait for our Jiuyuan to beat them back, who will those horned people hate the most in the future?"
"It's our Jiuyuan? But so what? Are we afraid of them?" The soldiers said one after another.
Zhu Neng shook his head, "We're not afraid of them, but do you think we in Jiuyuan are stronger than other forces, such as Jiuda Shangcheng?"
The fighters in Jiuyuan didn't know how to answer. Most of them hadn't seen the world much. Although some came from the lower city or even the middle city, they were a minority after all. Most of them still came from various small tribes or even savage tribes nearby. , They don't even know how strong the Nine Great Uptowns are.
Zhu Neng didn't expect their answers, and said directly: "The Nine Great Upper City is very strong, even if it's just their middle city and lower city, they are no worse than our Jiuyuan's overall strength. In terms of background...that is, accumulation, it is stronger than ours." It is much thicker. The strength of our Jiuyuan lies in the leaders and priests, except for them, the witches and a few high-level fighters they invited, our Jiuyuan itself is not that strong."
Shen Gu looked at Zhu Neng approvingly, yes, the course was not in vain, and he was much more sober than most of the soldiers in the city.
The soldiers seemed to understand a little bit.
Zhu Neng continued: "Look, before the leader and the priest came back, the horned men launched two attacks on us. But when they heard that the two came back, all the attacks stopped. Why?"
A soldier tentatively replied: "Because they are afraid of our leader and priest?"
Zhu Neng, "Not only that. They are still accumulating strength. As long as the leader and the priest come back, they will try their best to attack Jiuyuan. At that time, some forces with other thoughts may take the opportunity to deal with us. The leader and the priest There are only two people, even with the curse witch and those high-ranking fighters, can they protect all the people of Jiuyuan?"
After a pause, Zhu Neng added: "I think the return of the priest will have a deterrent effect on the horned people and other forces, so he came back. But if the leader doesn't return to Jiuyuan for a day, the horned people will not dare to die with us Knock, because they can't figure out what the leader is doing, and they don't dare to risk being cut off from the rear. My lord, am I right?"
All the soldiers looked towards the abyss together.
Fukaya smiled lightly, "Zhu Neng's analysis is very good. The two of them did this not only to hold back the horned man. According to my guess, they may have two other purposes."
The soldiers' ears were pricked up.
Shen Gu stretched out a finger, "One, those two don't want the horned people to concentrate all their hatred on us Jiuyuan, and they don't want us Jiuyuan to bear this burden for other forces on this land. If the horned people really Focus on our Jiuyuan, and the development of Jiuyuan will inevitably be hindered in the future, unless we can kill all the horned people on another continent, but is this possible?"
Everyone shook their heads subconsciously.
Shen Gu stretched out his second finger, "Second, when other forces have nothing to do with the Horned Man, our leader and priests beat them back, what will other forces think of us? For the sake of respect, is it more likely that everyone will listen to us, or is it more likely that they will think that we are a threat and secretly unite against us?"
Ah... All the soldiers look at me and I look at you, they have never thought about such a profound question.
Shen Gu wiped his face, "In the future, you should not only train your body well, but you should also be more serious in class. The priest also said that it is good for soldiers to obey orders, but they must also use their brains. Our biggest problem in Jiuyuan now is The foundation is too shallow, our leaders and priests are very powerful, but our overall strength is not as good as that of a lower city."
When Shengu was explaining to the soldiers, Yan Mo also said to Stan: "I am very happy that you and those high-ranking fighters can come back with us, but I am not happy that you can help us fight, but that the two of Jiuyuan With you senior fighter mentors, this school will definitely develop much faster than before."
"School? Tutor?" Stan raised an eyebrow.
Yan Mo explained to him the concept of school and tutor.
Stan smiled half-smile, "Your idea is terrible."
The old man Fengyu was very interested in the school, "It's scary, but it's much better than the original way of groping for yourself or being a waiter or disciple. If you do it well, Jiuyuan will reach the real level in a short time. The strength of the city, unlike other new forces that can only slowly cultivate or win over experts from other forces to fill themselves. Tsk, why didn’t we in Fengcheng think of such a good method! Mo Wu, people in Fengcheng can Go to your Jiuyuan school? If you agree, I can also be that kind of tutor."
Yan Mo laughed, "That's really great. Our Jiuyuan lacks everything, the most lacking is teachers. If you can come, we will provide you with a pension. Of course, as many students as you want in Fengcheng."
Stan suddenly asked, "Is that why you guys don't want to go to war with the Horned Man right away?"
Obviously they have the strength to solve it as soon as possible, but the two of them took the way of procrastination. Stan couldn't figure it out at first, but now he understands that Jiuyuan's overall strength is not as strong as he imagined, and they are still the most vulnerable freshmen. power.
Yan Mo didn't feel that his face was dull, on the contrary, he was very proud. Jiuyuan's real development time was less than ten years, and he was able to develop Jiuyuan to this level in 1989, especially when they were leaders. And the priests can make the highest level of the nine upper cities look up to them. This was a few years ago, not to mention the Jiuyuan people, even Yan Mo himself did not dare to imagine. It's not that he didn't dare to imagine that Jiuyuan would be strong, but he didn't expect that Jiuyuan and the two of them would rise so fast in strength.
"Dealing with horned people is the responsibility of all intelligent races in the Eastern Continent, not just our Jiuyuan tribe. Although Yuanzhan and I are strong, aren't the lords of the Nine Upper Cities strong? Are their priests not strong? They still have an ancient existence similar to demigods. Now the horned people are arrogant, but everyone has not yet united. If everyone is willing to join forces, it will only be a matter of time before the horned people will be driven out of the Eastern Continent." There is an old man with wind language Now, Yan Mo didn't forget that Xiaoxiao supported other forces.
"I'm secretly contacting various forces now, just to gather everyone's strength to uproot the forces of the Horned People in our Eastern Continent, and not leave them even a stump. If it's just us Jiuyuan, don't say we are a newborn Whether the small tribe can deal with the main force of the horned people, even if we can, we will not be able to wipe them all out. If they are scattered by us, the horned people will scatter here and there, they hold slave bones and bone tools, Simply turn from bright to dark, then it will be difficult to clean them up, and maybe it will leave a huge cancer on the Eastern Continent. Two, do you think I am right?"
Stan and Old Man Fengyu are the best of the best, and they all understand that this silent witch doesn't want Jiuyuan to be too prominent, let alone let Jiuyuan be the one who stands out. After all, if the battlefield is placed in Jiuyuan, if there is no support from other forces, even if Jiuyuan can defeat the Horned Man in the end, its own losses will be incalculable. This kind of loss is just a thought to know how big a blow it is to a new force.
"Witch Elephant can no longer predict, and his position as the first priest is also unstable. Originally, this kind of thing was led by Wucheng, and other forces responded. But this time Wucheng is in civil strife, and the twelve priests are divided into three factions. , Even if the witch elephant came out and urged everyone to deal with the horned tribe first, there are not many people who are really willing to listen to him. Most of the nine upper cities chose to protect themselves and wait and see." The old man Fengyu sighed.
Yan Mo sneered in his heart, he and Yuan Zhan's efficiency in the Western Continent was too high, to the point where the horned forces had not yet posed a real threat, if not for what they did in the Western Continent, wait a year or two before coming back Look, hehe!
Guaranteed that at that time, Wuxiang and him would not need to come out to appeal hard, and all forces would take the initiative to ask Wuxiang to let Wucheng take the lead in dealing with the Horned Clan.
But if it really reached that level, it would be no ordinary difficulty to drive the horned people out of the Eastern Continent, and it would definitely not be beneficial to the development of Jiuyuan.
So everything has advantages and disadvantages, and it is impossible for everything to be satisfactory.
The old man Fengyu already had a good impression of Yan Mo, let alone the father of the son of life... "I can guarantee that Fengcheng will use the greatest strength to fight against the horned man, and I will pass the news back tonight."
"Master Priest, Zhan Boss, Mo Wu, report urgently!" Someone suddenly shouted at the door.
Yan Mo and the others looked out together, and Yuan Zhan waved his hand to open the sealed earthen wall.
The people outside are Fengcheng warriors, they cooperate with Jiufeng, and some of them are responsible for delivering various news.
The man came in and said: "The Dingyue tribe has encountered an attack, and their army has been completely defeated!"
ha? Who defeated the Ding Yue army? The four people in the room were shocked.
