Judging from the situation of the territory, it can basically be said that there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms. It seems that the enemy has not yet arrived, but the city defense has been self-destructed. But in a neutral place, especially Lingang City, this is the survival wisdom of ordinary people.
When the enemy came, they scattered like frightened hares, hiding in every corner of the vast wilderness. Some people may be unlucky enough to hide in the enemy's way, but most people can hide successfully and avoid the possibility of being caught by the enemy. As for the home, that kind of simple shack can be rebuilt at any time.
At this moment, Qianye has come to the edge of the war zone, and if he goes any further, he will leave the line drawn by Su Dingqian. However, this boundary has very little binding force on Qianye, and he continued to approach the outer edge of the battle zone in order to grasp the enemy's dynamics.
After a while, Qianye climbed a hill, which is the commanding height in this area, with a good view.
Qianye took out a high-powered scope and began to observe the surroundings, especially the areas outside the combat zone. At the same moment, his figure appeared in the field of view of another scope. Those eyes hidden in the shadows were carefully observing Qianye's every move.
After observing for a while, Qianye put down the scope and ran towards another hill ahead. The people hidden in the distance also put down their binoculars. This person's face was cut like a knife, and his lines were hard. He was the deputy commander of the city guards of Lingang City. He handed the binoculars to his subordinates and said, "This Zhao Ye is very experienced in his work, maybe he can give us a surprise."
The subordinate said: "No matter how old you are, you are only at the twelfth level? What a surprise it can be. This battle depends on a few commanders."
A gloomy look flashed in the deputy commander's eyes, and he said, "It might not be that easy this time. It would be good if they could kill a few more people on the opposite side and relieve us a little bit of pressure."
The subordinate was taken aback, he had rarely seen the deputy commander so dignified.
The deputy commander turned around and walked in another direction, apparently preparing to patrol the defense line and observe the performance of several newly joined generals. Of course, Su Dingqian did not only find Qianye alone in this battle, he basically met all the generals in the city once. Many people have accepted the solicitation.
For these solitary powerhouses, resources are needed for both left and right sides of the practice, and it doesn't matter who they work for. As long as they can get enough rewards, it should be regarded as an ordinary task. This time they were on the side of Lingang City, but in the next war, they might become enemies.
The same is true for Qianye, the purpose of participating in the war is to eat dream bugs. As for who is right and who is wrong, there is no way to distinguish, and there is no need to distinguish. In neutral ground, each side has a reason to fight.
In Qianye's field of vision, a reconnaissance team was moving rapidly towards Lingang City. There are about ten warriors in this army, among them are two powerful nerubians. Several kilometers away, Qianye could also clearly see the crystal spider's mark on their armor.
Qianye jumped up lightly, his body as light as if he had no weight at all. Using the cover of the terrain, he made a big circle and chased down the crystal spider scouting team from the side and rear.
In the blink of an eye, Qianye was able to catch up to less than 100 meters, but when he was about to land, he was startled. Instead of falling, he rose, and floated forward for a while before he set foot on the ground. When he looked back, there was a khaki spider the size of a finger where Qianye originally wanted to stay. If Qianye had just stepped on it, he would have trampled it to death.
The body color of this spider is very close to the surrounding environment, if it is usually seen in the wild, Qianye will not care. However, past experience told Qianye that any spider that appeared beside the Nerubian should not be careless. The spider demon's servant spiders are all kinds of strange things, with various functions. Some servant spiders are even ordinary spiders that originally lived in the local area, but the spider demon temporarily took control of them.
The khaki-colored spider looked at Qianye, its compound eyes seemed to be shining with wisdom, and it crawled towards Qianye.
Seeing this appearance, Qianye knew that it was a servant spider and had already discovered him. Now that you've been discovered, you don't have to be polite. With a pounce, Qianye trampled the servant spider to death, pulled out Dongyue, and killed the reconnaissance team not far ahead.
The battle ended quickly, and the two spider demons in the team had no strength to fight back, and they were both knocked down by Qianye in a single encounter. This is true for nerubians, not to mention other inferior fighters. A team without a general in command, no matter how many people there are, is useless in Qianye's eyes.
After knocking down the entire team, Qianye kicked one of the nerubians awake. This nerubian was very fierce, and as soon as he woke up, he roared and wanted to fight back. However, the strength it is proud of is not worth mentioning in Qianye's eyes. Dongyue slapped it back to the ground again.
Only now did it recognize the situation, and knew that this small human was actually a strong man that he could not contend against.
"Where are you from?" Qianye asked.
The spider demon pointed to the badge on the armor, and said, "Didn't you see that, this is the crystal spider! We are the strongest army under the Spider Emperor, if you dare to attack us, you have to think about the consequences."
Facing the threat of this spider demon, Qianye laughed and said, "What are the consequences? It's nothing more than killing people to silence them."
The spider demon immediately came to his senses, his expression became extremely ugly, and his heart was filled with regret.
Seeing its momentum drop again and again, Qianye asked again: "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to fight the wolf king!" the spider demon blurted out. However, under Qianye's calm gaze, he slowly lowered his head and said, "We are here to scout the movements of Lingang City."
Qianye nodded, it made sense. The first two questions are somewhat knowingly asked, and by the way, we can see if it is telling the truth. The third question is more critical: "Do you have any special orders this time?"
"What special order?" The Nerubian looked a little dazed. However, when answering this question, the force on it fluctuated. How could this fluctuation be hidden from Qianye
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I'll just ask it later." Qianye pointed at the other spider demon who was unconscious, and said, "If it tells the truth, you should understand what will happen to it."
Although the spider demon is ferocious by nature, it is not completely invulnerable to death. It hesitated for a moment, then said: "The higher-ups also asked us to pay attention to the gathering places of various human races, and how many people fled to Lingang City."
"Human settlements? Do you mean villages and towns?"
"Yes, it also includes relatively large temporary hiding places."
The people around Lingang City are not all scattered. Some villages or families will build strong fortresses and defend them in times of war. These fortresses are often built in remote and precipitous areas, and it is useless to take them down, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, regular legions often let go of these small fortresses during wars. .
However, Qianye felt that there was something wrong with this order. In his opinion, these villages and towns around Lingang City are of no value, just a bunch of shabby shacks. What is the point of occupying such a place? And those fortress strongholds are of little military value. It would be unreasonable to say that this reconnaissance unit is for collecting geographic intelligence. Apart from a big river, Lingang City has no special terrain. In addition, collecting this kind of information does not require a small team, and it is much more efficient to let the fast wind spider act alone.
Because of the strangeness, Qianye felt that the spider demon was not lying. He knocked out the nerubian, though, and woke up the other end. After some threats, Qianye got the same answer from the spider demon.
As the lowest-level reconnaissance team on the front line, they only need to execute orders, and they don't need and cannot know why. Knowing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Qianye knocked the spider demon out again.
In the distance, another pair of eyes was quietly watching Qianye.
There was a faint blue in Qianye's eyes, and he had already felt it. However, there was nothing unusual about his expression and movements. He searched the entire team, looted all the valuable loot, and then tied together a few force grenades from the Nerubian's body and placed them in the middle of the team.
Qianye left quickly. Behind him, a violent explosion stirred up a thick cloud of fire, which rolled up to a height of 100 meters, with great momentum.
The deputy commander of the city guard put down his binoculars, his face was a little gloomy. The subordinate next to him frowned and said, "This Zhao Ye is too foolish! It's so loud, I'm afraid others won't know it. And doesn't he know how many people will be caught?"
The deputy commander said: "He has already asked what he should ask. Also, haven't you found out why he did this? Look at where he chose to attack."
"On the edge of the battlefield, it's hard to tell whether it's inside or outside the line. But what does it matter?"
"Has the Spider Emperor side clearly declared that it is our enemy?"
The subordinate suddenly understood a little bit, took a breath, and said, "We..."
"We can't take the initiative to attack them, at least not yet. So Zhao Ye hit the opponent and cleaned up the traces. At least now, even if I see everything, I can't say anything about him, because there is no evidence."
The subordinate rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "He must have asked something just now. Do you want to chase after him and let him tell what he knows? This subordinate feels that what he asked should be very important."
The deputy commander was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Let's catch a scouting team too."
"Seek far away, my lord!"
The deputy commander hesitated for a moment, did not comment, and finally waved: "Continue to patrol."
After running for more than ten kilometers, Qianye finally felt that the prying eyes behind him had disappeared. Then he looked back and said to himself: "Have you finally given up? Then it's my turn."
Qianye's aura slowly disappeared, and gradually became no different from the wilderness of the earth. If it wasn't for a truly strong person who relied on perception to scan the world, he would have to rely on the naked eye to distinguish Qianye's existence. It's just that there are many ways to deceive the eye.
Qianye speeded up his sneak and quickly approached the location where the spy came from, but the strange order of the two spider demons still lingered in his heart.
