South Great Wilderness Ridge Qianlongyuan.
This is the southernmost area of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, but it does not belong to any territory.
To be precise, this area was under the jurisdiction of Nanyue territory two hundred years ago, but even Nanyue, which is currently ranked tenth, could not subdue this vast mountain system. After a long period of struggle, Nanyue voluntarily gave up this mountain range. Ridge has since become a land of no man.
But in fact, very few people have noticed that the founding king of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom was born in the Great Wilderness Ridge, and it was only through the Northern Expedition that he sat on this mountain and river for thousands of miles. Therefore, Qianlongyuan in Dahuangling has always been regarded as the place where dragons prosper, but it is a pity that the natural environment of Dahuangling is too harsh. Travelers who strayed into this wilderness with their clothes stained at night basically escaped death.
In addition, the South Great Wilderness is also the border between human beings and the [Lava Race]. Although the lava clan is a member of the lower nine clans like humans, but because the bonus of the National Defense Array is extremely low near Dahuangling, the lava clan often crossed the mountains to launch invasions a long time ago.
Because of the above circumstances, even though Qianlongyuan in the Great Wilderness has a legend that "the master of the world comes from here", no one would go to this kind of deep mountain and old forest to live for a illusory legend. This vast mountain range has been waiting for its owner for such a long time, until the arrival of the leader of the rebel army, Huang Yan.
Huang Yan is the new owner here.
In front of Qianlongyuan, there stood two figures, one tall and one short. The short one was a scruffy old man holding an astrolabe, and the tall one couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a cloak, and only a pair of eyes were exposed under the hood. . There is a circle of water patterns in the center of Qianlongyuan, and there are many golden carp churning in it. The short old man looked at the dilapidated astrolabe in his hand over and over again, only sighed and did not speak, but the young man beside him spoke first:
"My horoscope still hasn't changed, has it?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and it sounded a little strange. It doesn't sound like a boy's voice, but rather like a girl speaking with a rough voice on purpose. The old man tapped the astrolabe on the stone, put his face on the astrolabe, and widened his eyes to read the words on it at close range. After reading it for a while, he replied:
"It hasn't changed. Although Yinghuo is in the heart, she has shown signs of disappearing. It is exactly the same as the result calculated by the senior brother... Fourteen years ago, he guessed that today will come. After all, you will not be able to escape the coming-of-age ceremony in three months. the catastrophe."
The boy in the cloak didn't panic at all, he just looked at the gray sky above Qianlongyuan, with a ruthless look in his eyes.
The old man threw the tattered astrolabe on the ground, picked up a young twig from the ground to pick his teeth, and continued inarticulately:
"However, after all, senior brother has learned 120% of the ability to deceive the sky from his master. At the cost of his own life, he left you with a glimmer of life in the north. Two months later, he will head north, and the rebels can't reach their souls. Wu, I arranged for you to use all your strength in the past. Your lifeline is beyond the Great Wall, if you can survive this calamity, it will be the time when the giant python transforms into a dragon."
The young man said lightly:
"Since I was born, the heavens and the earth want me to die, my flesh and blood relatives want me to die, and my best friends want me to die. Now, the Eternal Heaven King's family wants me to die, and the thirty-six territories want me to die... But I still Alive. My foster father once said that as long as the sky above my head remains the same, the world will not get better. If I can survive, I will slash the sky one day."
The old man patted the boy's shoulder with his dirty hands and said:
"Huang Yan, going north to Lingwu is extremely dangerous. I have heard that many territories have sent their elite children there. You must not reveal your identity. The Lord of Lingwu seems to be looking for something in the giant's lair outside the Great Wall this time. Don't meddle with you either. The hopes of tens of thousands of people in the Great Barren Mountain are pinned on you, and senior brother is even risking his life for you. What they want to see is that you will sit on the throne and the world will be at peace."
The boy—the leader of the Southern Rebel Army and the young genius who ranked first on the rookie list, Huang Yan nodded.
Seventeen years old this year, he is about the same age as Li De, but he has already controlled a force with greater influence than Yuxi City, and he is lurking in the Great Barren Mountain under the encirclement and suppression of the entire Eternal Heaven Kingdom. The several attacks organized by the royal family did not hurt the rebel army in his hands.
Huang Yan stared blankly at the fish swimming in Qianlong Yuan, the strong wind blowing through the barren mountains and wild ridges, the fish under the water seemed to feel it, and swam towards the deeper bottom of the lake. There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a middle-aged man in heavy armor walked quickly. He was wearing armor weighing two to three hundred kilograms. Every step he took, the iron boots would leave a footprint on the hard ground.
Seeing Huangyan, the burly middle-aged man cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Forgive me for not being able to fully salute with the armor on your body. Lord Huangyan, the war in the South Vietnam Territory is over. Our army has won a big victory, killing tens of thousands of northern coalition forces and capturing 20,000. Picas is still marching eastward." After chasing and killing the bandits, the last general will take a step back and ask Lord Huangyan what to do with the 20,000 people."
Huangyan didn't look back, and calmly uttered two words:
"killed."
The middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly, and cold sweat flowed like a stream on his resolute face.
He opened his mouth, thinking Huangyan didn't hear clearly, and said again:
"Lord Huangyan, that's 20,000 people... It's ominous to kill."
Huang Yan turned around, her eyes looked coldly at the general who was much taller than him, the aura on her body instantly became fierce, and the murderous aura overflowed, stirring up waves on the calm water surface of Qianlongyuan.
"We don't have any extra rations. If we keep them, we will starve ourselves. Their wives and children are all in the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven, and it is impossible for them to serve us from the bottom of their hearts. If they are used for negotiation, no matter what the result is, let them go." They are tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. So killing is the best choice, I heard that the Qianlong Abyss is 10,000 meters deep, and it must not be filled for a while."
The middle-aged man trembled all over, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and said:
"Yes!... I will understand in the end."
He finally understood why the woman known as the "ghost on the battlefield", Vicas, asked him to come back to report the results of this battle. He joined the rebel army for a relatively short time. Although he won more than ten battles in a row and his status in the rebel army was rising steadily, it was the first time he saw Huangyan.
He had long heard that the high-ranking rebels called Huang Yan "Master Shura" in private, and he only understood the reason for this today.
Although he was a prisoner of the enemy, when he thought that he would sink 20,000 soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit to the bottom of the lake with his own hands, no matter how strong he was, his heart would tremble a little. The old fortune-teller was already used to this scene, picked up his astrolabe from the ground, wiped it on his clothes, and stared at the astrology on it in a daze.
Taking 20,000 lives was like eating and drinking for Huangyan. He turned his head, looked north silently, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
