The alien beasts encountered on the road became stronger and stronger. Although they were still beheaded by them every time, it was more and more difficult for them to cope, and the remote villages and towns that were destroyed by the alien beasts attacked the city made them feel even more depressed. heavy.
This night, the group stayed in a small town called Beiguan Town.
Beiguan Town is only 500 miles away from Luo'an City, but this place has already entered the outskirts of Longyan Mountain Range, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, plus powerful strange beasts comparable to the sixth and seventh ranks of sword masters have begun to appear along the way, Mu Hanyan can't help If you dare to take risks easily, you still decide to come back after dawn.
Judging from the damaged city wall and the tense atmosphere in the town, Beiguan Town was obviously attacked by alien beasts and suffered heavy losses. However, although the town is not big, it is located on the border after all, and the fortifications are well built. , a bit like those frontier towns in Shangyue, so I still stick to it.
"Master Mu, gentlemen, you can just settle down here tonight. We can't compare to the bustling place in the capital. It's too simple. Please forgive me." The city lord led Mu Hanyan and others into the city lord. Government, said apologetically.
"My lord, you are being polite. If you take the liberty to disturb me this time, we should forgive you." Mu Hanyan said humbly.
Beiguan Town is just a remote town, and the City Lord's Mansion is not very big. There are quite a few of them in the hundreds. In order to accommodate them, the City Lord's family moved out by themselves, and she felt very sorry.
"Yes, Lord City Master, Young Master Mu is right. We are leaving tomorrow anyway. Just find a place for us to stay for one night." He Qingzong also said kindly. Peeping at Mu Hanyan's face, he had a cute and obedient look.
During the palace banquet that night, He Qingwei forced him to follow Mu Hanyan under the command of the Patriarch. He thought that he would never have the hope of becoming the Patriarch. Unexpectedly, after this incident, He Qingwei would not fight for power with him at all. Thought, as if nothing had happened, the eldest brother and elder brother are still respectful and polite. Seeing this, the other He family children don't know what's going on with the two brothers, so of course they dare not offend him. It is also regarded as the master of the young family.
So He Qingzong saw hope again. Now he finally knew how much the ancestor of the He family valued Mu Hanyan, and He Qingwei, who was carrying the patriarch's order, regarded the words of the ancestor as a divine metaphor, so he dared to have the slightest disagreement. Now as long as Mu Hanyan said east, He Qingzong would never go west, and if Mu Hanyan said to catch the chicken, he would never chase the dog.
Even He Qingwei blushed secretly when he saw that flattering look.
"Young Master Mu, Young Master He, you are wrong to say that. Luo'an City is my Anyun portal. Once Luo'an falls, Beiguan Town will bear the brunt, and will be slaughtered by strange beasts. As the young master of a family in the capital, but I don’t care about the hardships or dangers to come to help, if I can’t even arrange a place to live, let alone others, these people in the town will break my back.” The city lord said seriously.
"In this case, then we will not be polite, thank you, Lord City Master." Mu Hanyan remembered the surprise and hope in the eyes of the people when they entered the city when they looked at her and his party, and knew that what he said was right, so she no longer declined.
They are also a little tired after running around for days, so it's better to rest for one night.
"Young Master Mu, then you should rest early. If there is any movement at night, don't worry about it, we will take care of it." The city lord continued.
"Do strange beasts often attack the city at night?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"It's almost never been broken, but most of the strange beasts outside the town are fish that slipped through from Luo'an City. Except for a few stronger ones at the beginning, which caused us a lot of casualties, the rest of them are average in strength. There is no threat, you just need to rest in peace, and don't waste your energy for our Beiguan Town." The city lord said.
Although he said it lightly, from the damaged city wall outside the town and the sad eyes of the townspeople, it was not difficult for Mu Hanyan to imagine the tragic battle when the alien beasts attacked the city. Obviously, the city lord does not want them to waste their energy in Chengguan Town, but hopes that they will take a good rest to preserve their strength and use all their energy to Luo'an City. After all, that is where the Anyun portal is located. Only then can there be real peace.
After understanding the city lord's intentions, Mu Hanyan didn't say anything more, and ordered the children of each family to go back to their rooms early to rest, and head to Luo'an City early tomorrow morning.
At night, Beiguan Town near the Longyan Mountains was quiet, and the climate was exceptionally cool. Mu Hanyan and the others were exhausted from traveling all the way, and they all slept very soundly.
A roar of beasts, shouts of killing, and the sound of gongs and drums woke them up from their dreams.
Mu Hanyan turned over and looked out the window, only to see that the sky had revealed a fishy white. At this time, it was the time when people were most sleepy, and these strange beasts were smart enough to choose to attack at this time.
Although the city lord wanted them to have a good night's rest to recharge their spirits, how could she stand idly by in the face of a strange beast attacking the city, and flew towards the city gate.
The children from other families fought against the opposite party several times along the way, and they had long lost the coquettishness of the sons of the aristocratic families in the capital. When they heard the sound, they got up quickly and followed.
"Young Master Mu, didn't I tell you to rest well? Why are you here?" Seeing Mu Hanyan and others rushing over, the city lord said a little displeased.
"We appreciate the kindness of the city lord, and it's almost the middle of the night after resting." Mu Hanyan said while looking out of the city.
I saw thousands of alien beasts rushing towards Beiguan Town crazily, which was somewhat similar to the alien beasts attacking the city in Hanshan Town back then, but as the city owner said, the strength of these alien beasts was very average, and many of them were quite As for the sword masters of the seventh and eighth ranks, those who are comparable to sword masters are only at the first and second ranks of sword masters.
The geographical location of Beiguan Town is much more important than Hanshan Town, because it is close to Luo'an City, it is also equivalent to a small military town, not only the city is strong, but also guarded by a team of strong city guards, many of the people are frontier soldiers His background and skills are also extremely good.
Relying on the strong city, the soldiers and those skilled civilians shot arrows down the city like raindrops, roaring across the sky with full of energy, and every volley brought out blood mist . Occasionally, strange beasts that were good at climbing rushed up to the city wall, and were quickly chopped down by the arrows. It was impossible to pose any threat to the people of the town.
"Young Master Mu, there are still one or two hours before the dawn, you should go back and rest for a while." The city lord persuaded.
