The situation of the war is very complicated. Lingang City did not participate in the war in name, but was just unlucky and was chosen as the battlefield. But everyone knows that there is no real bad luck in this kind of thing, but it is not known which party is planning Lingang City, or whether all three parties have this idea.
In terms of power, the Spider Emperor and the Moonlight White Demon are aliens, while the Wolf King represents the human race. In Lingang City, the human race occupies the majority, and the city lord Su Dingqian is also an authentic human race. But in the appointment of Qianye, it seems to be more guarded against the wolf king.
Until now, Qianye was not sure who the enemy was. Regarding the attitude of this war, Su Dingqian's attitude was extremely tough. He designated the 100 kilometers around Lingang City as a war zone. No matter which legion entered this area, it would be attacked.
In the dead of night, Qianye packed his equipment and quietly waited for dawn in the courtyard.
When the morning light illuminated the ground, Qianye left the courtyard. The deputy captain of the city lord's guard was already waiting at the gate, and he personally drove Qianye towards the city gate.
"General Zhao, are you leaving the city at this time? Don't you wait until night?" Now that Qianye has taken the status of an officer of the City Guard Army, the title of the deputy captain has changed from Mr. Zhao to General Zhao.
Facing an established army, hunting under the cover of darkness is the choice of most people. However, Qianye didn't answer this, and just laughed it off. The deputy captain didn't ask too much, the way of fighting is the privacy of the strong, and asking too much can easily cause trouble for the upper body.
The deputy captain sent Qianye ten kilometers outside the city, and then drove back.
Outside Lingang City, the terrain is undulating, but most of them are low hills and gentle valleys, and there are few steep terrains. Just outside the city, a big river rolled away into the East China Sea. This type of terrain is suitable for a decisive battle with a large army.
After the deputy captain left, Qianye waved his hand, and the field backpack disappeared behind him, and moved into Anduya's mysterious space. He took out the map, looked carefully, and saw a small town a few kilometers away, so he decided to go there and have a look.
A few kilometers away, for Qianye, it will be within a short time.
The town is quite large, with about a thousand people living there. The houses here are also low and simple, and even two-story buildings cannot be seen. Earthquakes caused by the earth dragon's overturning covered hundreds of kilometers, and the town obviously experienced countless times of reincarnation between collapse and reconstruction. In a small town of this size, it is impossible to have the money to build a force array of protective buildings.
When Qianye walked into the town, the town was in a panic. Many people packed their luggage, came out of their homes, and headed towards Lingang City. There are also people who scatter in other directions. An old man with the appearance of a patriarch said to dozens of people in the family: "This battle is obviously aimed at Lingang City. Now running to the city, isn't that jumping into the fire pit? What kind of city defense is there? I can even jump over the short city wall now!"
"But there is City Lord Su in the city!" Some young clansmen were not convinced.
"No matter how strong City Lord Su is, he is only one person! Are people like the Wolf King and Spider Emperor worse than City Lord Su? Besides, City Lord Su is a big man who ascends to the sky. With you little bastards? Fighting against these big men, you will die if you get close."
Although the young clansmen were still dissatisfied, they couldn't hold back the old patriarch after all, and reluctantly climbed into the truck. The engines of the two trucks roared, and they drove out of the town with difficulty, and drove into the distance. Being able to get two cars, it seems that this family is considered a big family in the town.
To Qianye's surprise, most of the people sitting in the car were young and strong men, while the old and weak women and children followed the truck.
Qianye swept his eyes and found that most of the people in the car had some force cultivation, enough to be qualified soldiers in the city guard army. And those who walk are ordinary people, with at most one level of force.
After thinking about it for a while, Qianye understood. This family is to keep adult warriors full of physical strength and combat effectiveness in order to cope with possible dangers on the long journey. And when necessary, the old and the weak who walk with the car are the objects of sacrifice.
From this point, we can see the cruelty of the neutral land.
Residents of the small town left in groups to escape the war. Many people are qualified fighters in the empire, but in the neutral land, they are reduced to the helpless bottom.
Qianye passed through the town, and through the rushing crowd, he suddenly saw two people lying down in the depths of an alley. Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and he walked into the alley. As soon as he entered the alley, the light became dim, and an unpleasant smell came over his face.
Both of them were dressed as townspeople, but now they were lying in the muddy water, motionless. From under them, the muddy water had turned a deep purple, evidently the blood had almost dried up.
From the corner of the alley, there was some heavy breathing, and even the rapid heartbeat was clearly discernible. In addition, in Qianye's perception, the hidden person's blood flow accelerated, and he was obviously in a state of extreme tension.
Qianye pretended not to notice, stepped past the two corpses, and walked into the corner. The person hidden behind the wall jumped up, stabbing Qianye fiercely at Qianye's waist with the dagger in his hand! This knife was fast and ruthless, without mercy, it was obviously going to put Qianye to death.
However, the strength of the sneak attacker was really low. When the dagger touched Qianye's battle uniform, Qianye grabbed his wrist, and the wrist bone was crushed immediately.
The attacker screamed and fell to the ground, trembling with pain. This person was dressed in mercenary attire, with bandages wrapped around his waist and abdomen, blood was still oozing, and there were several large and small injuries on his body. The big wounds have been treated hastily, while the small wounds are still exposed. It seems that after he was injured, he hadn't had time to bandage him.
No matter how miserable this mercenary was, Qianye would remain indifferent. For those who want to kill him, Qianye has never shown mercy.
He stretched out his hand to lift the mercenary, put it against the wall, and asked, "Why do you want to kill me? Say, I will let you die quickly."
The mercenary looked gloomy, pointed to the corpses of the two townspeople on the ground, and said, "I thought you were with them. Our team escaped with difficulty. There are more than a dozen people, and only three of us are left. Then, these bastards saw us seriously injured and wanted to steal our equipment! Lao Wang and Tie Hu didn't die on the battlefield, but died by their hands!"
Following the mercenary's guidance, Qianye looked deep into the alley. There, two mercenaries were sitting against the wall, and they had long lost their breath. Around them, there were five or six corpses of townspeople, all of them were covered with wounds, and it was obvious that they fought extremely fiercely. These townspeople didn't expect the three mercenaries to be so powerful despite being seriously injured, they couldn't start looting, and instead lost their lives.
In Qianye's hands, the mercenary was too seriously injured, and he wouldn't live long. He stood guard at the entrance of the alley, apparently planning to pull a few more people to back him up. In this chaotic moment, no one will pursue this matter.
Qianye sighed from the bottom of his heart, and had a new understanding of the chaos in the neutral land. He let go of his hand, threw the mercenary on the ground, and walked deep into the alley.
"Wait a minute, save me!" the mercenary shouted behind him.
Qianye continued to move forward as if he had never heard of it.
"You are so powerful, why didn't you save me!" the mercenary screamed.
Qianye was still moving forward, almost walking out of the alley.
The mercenary's face was full of viciousness, and he shouted: "If you don't save me, then you must die to me!"
He grabbed the force gun with his still intact left hand, and aimed a shot at the back of Qianye's head!
Qianye took a step across and let the force bomb pass. A three-level gun is too slow for him now, even if he doesn't dodge or dodge, the original force bullet can't hurt Qianye.
Qianye pulled out the Twin Flowers, and shot three consecutive shots with his backhand. One shot smashed the mercenary's left hand and the force gun together, and the other two shots broke his legs. Qianye moved, and appeared in front of the mercenary again, saying, "Just die slowly like this."
When Qianye walked out of the alley, the mercenary's screams and intermittent curses continued to be heard behind him. Qianye didn't take it seriously, the curse of the weak was meaningless, and the pain of losing his limbs was enough to punish him. But there is also a ray of confusion in his heart. Are there all such twisted and crazy people in the neutral place
The escape of the townspeople is still going on, and gunshots can be heard from time to time. People gather in family groups and often shoot without hesitation if another wave approaches. They are like a pack of wolves, showing each other's fangs and claws, keeping a distance while threatening and tentatively biting each other.
Qianye left the town and headed to the next destination. Ten kilometers away, there is another large-scale village with hundreds of people.
Villages and towns like this are dotted around Lingang City and can be seen everywhere. When the ground dragon turns over or moves restlessly, there may be agouti driven up from the ground in various places, so people in various villages and small towns mostly make a living by catching the unique product of the agouti rainbow fish.
The area marked by Su Dingqian was actually the territory of Lingang City traditionally, and the villages and towns in the area had to pay taxes to Lingang City in exchange for protection and the right to live in the territory.
In about half a day, Qianye inspected several villages. The outermost villages have long been empty, and the villagers have fled the war zone. The only ones left in the village are a few old people who can't walk. The villages near Lingang City, and occasionally some people, are also preparing to escape.
In the neutral land, battles at the level of gods and generals are not uncommon. In the past, Su Dingqian fought several times, even fighting against the Spider Emperor and Wolf King. The detached status of Lingang City was all achieved. The battle between gods and generals spread so widely that ordinary people simply couldn't survive. People like Spider Emperor and Wolf King don't care how many people below died.
During the inspection of the village, Qianye came across a team of mercenaries. They "rested" in this village, and the supplementary supplies came from the villagers who had not had time to leave. This ten-member mercenary team did not encounter a battle, and it seemed that they were looking for the village to "rest". When they saw Qianye alone, they immediately surrounded the sheep like a pack of wolves.
After a while, Qianye left the village. And the mercenary team of part-time bandits all turned into corpses.
On the first day, the few battles were actually between human mercenaries.
