The light rain is like smoke and the breeze is like a dream.
Under the majestic mountains, thousands of people are working in the rain. The sound of nails digging into the cliffs and the sound of trumpets pounding the foundation shatter the dream of this world.
This official road, which can carry twelve riders in parallel, has been built for more than fifty miles. According to this speed, it will be completed by the beginning of winter this year.
The reason why it is so fast is not only the effect of having Zhaozhou, the legendary master craftsman, at his command, but also related to the immense strength of the builders.
The 1,000 senior craftsmen are only responsible for digging stones, and the remaining 2,000 captain-level soldiers are responsible for paving and widening the roadbed, tamping the soil, and then paving it with stones. The process is simple and extremely fast. Of course, the food is also consumed very quickly. .
A dozen miles in front of the road construction team, a military camp was stationed there. Every two days, the camp would be moved to sweep a hundred miles around to ensure safety.
At this moment, Zhang Yang is here, not just to see the progress, but to stop by, because although he has been thinking about practicing Qingyun Swordsmanship with all his heart in the past few days, for some reason, he just feels that waiting passively is not the answer, he needs to do it. Knowing the situation of the red-skinned monster to the north, the opponent's level 4 royal city has been built for nearly two months. Even if there is a high probability that the opponent will not come looking for trouble, he has to make sure it is just in case.
For this reason, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and transferred six Qingyun swordsmen, brought four heavy-armored Modao captains, and 1,000 ordinary craftsmen newly recruited from the refugees, and chased after him.
"My lord, if it is as you said, I suggest you bring 500 soldiers and be careful in everything."
Zhang Liang introduced Zhang Yang in the heavily defended camp. This guy was also afraid of death. Six heavy-armored Modao captains and three Feiyun Arrow guards took turns protecting him day and night. It was a temporary camp. It was not enough that he arranged it like a fortress. He also moved 10 giant siege crossbows from the royal city, disguised them, and placed them where the enemy might appear.
He was so cautious that he was speechless.
On the contrary, the old man from Zhaozhou didn't care at all. He looked like an old craftsman and worked with other craftsmen in the wind and rain every day. At a glance, he didn't even know where the old man was.
"What can 500 captain-level soldiers do, but those three Feiyun Arrow Guards are about the same." Zhang Yang said this deliberately, and Zhang Liang's face suddenly changed. He was just scared. How insecure he was. .
"Well, lord, I have a plan." Zhang Liang's head was spinning rapidly, "If lord purely wants to test the other party, then it means that the other party must also have the idea of testing you, but it has not been implemented yet, or is in the process of being implemented. , in this case, why don't we set up an ambush to scare it? I will arrange the specific ambush. After all, we still have ten giant siege crossbows. As long as the other party does not have the idea of dying together, we can achieve our goal."
Zhang Yang looked at this extremely insecure guy and thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll do as you say, but I tell you, you'd better disguise yourself when the war starts. Look at how natural Lao Zhao is. Hiding behind the heavily armored Captain Modao may not necessarily mean you are safe."
"Uh, my lord, do you mean that the enemy's strength is extraordinary?"
Zhang Liang's face has turned pale. It's hard to imagine that this would be a founding emperor with great achievements. Well, but considering his growth history since childhood, it can be explained. He is a patient with deep persecution and paranoia. No wonder He never dared to step out of the palace for the rest of his life.
"You actually know what is beyond the ordinary?"
Zhang Yang was very curious.
"I've heard a little bit about it. Lord, I think I'd better go back to the royal city to command remotely, or I can wait until Lei Ming finishes training the 500 Feiyun Arrow Guards. The weather outside is too cold. Oops, my stomach pain."
Zhang Yang looked at this guy's performance speechlessly. Is this really my great-great-grandson? really.
But before he could say anything, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded from more than twenty miles away.
"The enemy is attacking, form a formation! Form a formation! Protect - uh, protect the lord!"
Zhang Liang shouted immediately, grabbed a long sword and huddled behind Zhang Yang, "Come on!" This grandson.
"This is not an extraordinary enemy."
"Ah, that's it!"
Zhang Liang gained courage in an instant. After coughing, the introverted, deep, melancholy and wise emperor came back again.
"Lord, I think the enemy's arrival was too sudden and too coincidental. Maybe the enemy is trying to divert trouble from the east."
After calming down, Zhang Liang's brain reacted quickly and he immediately thought of this possibility.
"That's right, that guy seems to be very knowledgeable. Get ready to fight."
Zhang Yang also nodded, not surprised at all.
At this moment, more than 20 miles away, more than a hundred soldiers were rapidly retreating. Even further away, the roar of the demons could be vaguely heard. In the blink of an eye, the black demons rushed over the hills, like a group of demons. swooping over like ants.
It seems that I can't hide it anymore.
The Abyss Demons will not allow an alien race to emerge from their hinterland, especially if this alien race is so extravagant as to build roads in the deep mountains and forests. What is this? Do you want to build a royal city? The construction has been successful!
It can be foreseen that in a few months at most, the tidal army of demons will come back and nip everything in the bud.
But the red-skinned monster who was the instigator was able to develop happily.
"This demon army must be completely wiped out! At this time, it is good to delay for one more day. Fortunately, the red-skinned monster does not know that I have a level 6 royal city, otherwise things will not be so simple."
"Zhang Yang, you sit here and take command, I will take their retreat!"
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and said, time, there are still 8 months until Wu Lei successfully trains Panshi Chongbu, two months until Wu Ya buys a mount and returns, and 10 months until Lei Ming successfully trains Feiyun Jianwei.
As long as these three special units are formed and relying on the level 6 royal city, he really has nothing to fear.
"Lord, please take care of yourself, I'll take care of everything!"
Zhang Liang's performance was extremely tragic. Zhang Yang was so angry that he wanted to slap him. Why, I hope you can inherit me after I die. Well, this grandson is really smart.
"No, at least 10,000 demons! And it's a regular army. There are more than 2,000 extraordinary demons, and they are led by a demon hidden dragon."
Just as Zhang Yang was about to retreat, he suddenly stopped because the demon army on the opposite side suddenly began to form an array. It was not like they came without purpose, but they came prepared.
"Send an order for Zhaozhou to assemble the craftsmen, use the infantry as cover, and retreat towards the royal city."
Zhang Yang's scalp is exploding. This is no longer fun. As long as the demon Qianlong is not blind, he can naturally see what is going on here. The secret of the royal city cannot be kept. With a good hand, it seems to explode at any time.
"That bastard red-skinned monster, don't let me catch you, or I will kill you!"
Zhang Yang secretly swore in his heart that it was too cheating.
"Chelation!"
The demon army on the opposite side began to advance slowly in formation. The speed was very slow, but the pressure was very strong. Two thousand extraordinary demons were at the top. Most of them were heavy-armored demons, and some were two-headed demons. .
"Shield array!"
"Pull up the horse!"
"ignition!
"The giant siege crossbow is locked on target and ready to launch!"
On Zhang Yang's side, Zhang Liang has already hid in the special vehicle he commissioned Zhaozhou to build for him, and is ready to retreat at any time. However, thanks to the excellent camp he arranged, he is not without the power to fight, not to mention them. There are also ten heavily armored Modao captains.
And those who are now in charge of command are these ten heavy-armored Modao captains.
They stood in the camp like ten war gods, fighting against the huge three-meter-long Mo Dao. The blade was sharp and the strong murderous aura was looming.
Anyone who gets close can smell the smell like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
So Zhang Yang suddenly didn't worry anymore. He gathered his breath and led 6 Qingyun swordsmen to the side of the camp, ready to surround and annihilate them at any time. He still didn't want to let go of a demon, and he wanted to kill the demon hidden dragon.
When the demon army reached a distance of one thousand meters, the battle started instantly. Ten hidden giant siege crossbows aimed at the ten most conspicuous two-headed demons. Only bursts of thunderous explosions were heard, and ten wine jars were thick. The fine steel crossbow flew out at several times the speed of sound, killing the ten two-headed demons in an instant. The crossbow even plowed hundreds of meters with its remaining power, killing hundreds more demons.
Such power surprised both the enemy and us, and then Zhang Yang realized that this giant siege crossbow was produced by the demon clan, and was specially brought here by the demon cultivator at the Golden Core stage.
"Chelation!"
The demon army immediately launched a charge, and it was as dark as a black flood peak. After more than ten seconds, they pounced hard. There were also 500 captain-level archers in the camp, but the golden eagles they shot at this moment penetrated the armor. The arrow was so weak that it couldn't even penetrate the skin of the heavily armored demon.
This is not on the same level at all.
"Back off!"
It was at this moment that ten heavily armored Modao captains rushed out of the camp dragging huge Modao. They were so small compared to the charging tide of demons on the opposite side.
But the next second, everyone discovered that they were wrong.
Because an extremely dense and thick murderous aura field exploded like a thunderstorm. Even though some of the heavily armored demons who rushed to the front were also extraordinary, they were still frightened by this murderous aura field and their steps were slightly disrupted.
But this is just the beginning.
The sky suddenly turned dark, not because of the dark clouds above, but because the Mo Dao's blade was too sharp!
"Uh-huh!"
"Swish!"
All that could be seen was the spinning and harvesting of lightning. The demon's body and head were like harvested corn, rolling all over the ground!
So shocking!
Just ten heavy-armored Mo Dao captains were able to stop the charge of two thousand heavy-armored demons, and then they were able to crush them down, press them down, and rub them against the ground!
Who knows how Lei Ming trained such a domineering extraordinary soldier
Anyway, Zhang Yang was convinced at this moment.
Everyone was convinced.
