Chapter 102: Tianjin Mountains

Dumb pulled Xuanyue behind him, attracted the murderous intent of the four skeletons to him, and looked at the blood skeletons and said: "Several heads of the skeleton mercenary group, what happened between us before, I don’t want to make any more comments. I think you all know who is right and who is wrong. President Mulatz has just said that we are now facing the bandits not far in front of us, not our own internal strife. If you want revenge in the future , Even if you come to us. But now, I don’t want any more conflicts, Chairman Mu, you can start to talk about the plan." A dumb body exuded a faint power, and the invisible pressure made the four skeletons' hearts tremble. , The scenes that happened in the forest before kept flashing in their minds, and the murderous intentions in their hearts gradually faded.
Mulatz tried his best to calm his mood, smiled reluctantly, and said: "Several group leaders, everyone is calmer. The caravan has not been here for a long time. If it weren't for the delivery of spices, we would also I will not venture here, but the spices we brought this time are very important to the business association. Therefore, we must not make any mistakes. This is something that the business association cannot afford to lose. What has changed in the Tianjin Mountains in recent years? It's not very clear, but I once heard a friend say that there are more bandits here than before, and there are more powerful bandits. Therefore, we must not be careless that the other party has a favorable position. , Several heads, look, how should we arrange it?"
The blood skull groaned: "I also heard that there have been some changes in the Tianjin Mountain Range, but since we have already arrived, we can't back down anymore, so let's set off tomorrow morning, guarded by heavy cavalry and light cavalry. At the front and rear ends, the archers are in the middle. The commando team led by me is always ready to respond. If there is a master on the other side, our commando team will be responsible for cleaning up."
Mulats nodded, looked at Ah Dui and Xuan Yue, and said, "Do you have any opinions on those two?"
Dumb thought for a while and said: "We don't have any comments, and we are not very familiar with this kind of large-scale operation. My brother is a light magician. His auxiliary magic and recovery magic are very good. He should support everyone. The best choice. As for me, I will be responsible for cleaning up those more difficult enemies with the head of the blood skull."
As soon as I heard that Xuanyue was a light magician, the four skeletons thought of Xuanyue's treatment of serious injuries that day. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little more harmonious, Feng Skull said: "May I ask this brother’s light magic power? How far is it to take care of? Our mercenary group is mainly light cavalry and archer, which are more prone to injury."
Xuan Yue thought for a while, and said, "My magic can probably cover a radius of one kilometer. However, large-area recovery cannot be used for a long time, because the effect will be weaker if the range is large, and the damage will be too severe. Or disabled, I can’t help it, so I still have to rely on your people to be careful.

"Ah! A thousand meters in radius?" The four skeletons exclaimed at the same time. Although they don't know much about magicians, they have never heard of a magician that can control such a large range.
Xuanyue didn't seem to hear the shock in the other party's heart, and said: "I haven't tried a control range of one kilometer, but it should be no problem, but you also know that magic cannot be too long, and magic power is always limited. Therefore, you must clean up the enemy as soon as possible."
Blood Skull said: "You can rest assured that the members of our Skeleton Mercenary Group are very powerful and have been trained for a long time. Unless the opponent's strength is beyond imagination, the enemy will surely be eliminated in a short time. "
Dumb said: "Brother, can't you also release fire magic? If the opponent's attack is too strong, you can also help us to attack." He was naturally referring to the energy of the Phoenix blood.
Xuan Yue shook her head and said, "Fire magic is too overbearing. If one is not good, it will burn the whole mountain. Brother, you have also seen that the Tianjin Mountains in the distance are lush and lush, don't you think Let me destroy the environment here? You should try not to use it as much as possible. If it doesn't work, just ask Shengxie to come out and play, it will be very happy." When it comes to Shengxie, Xuanyue couldn't help but laugh. .
Dumb looked at the four members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group and said indifferently: "It depends on the situation then, maybe none of our arrangements will have any effect?"
Mulats smiled and said: "Yes! With the strength of your two mercenary groups, I think those bandits may not dare to attack our idea. It is the best if they do not show up. All safety is the most important thing."
Feng Gulu suddenly said: "President, I have to trouble you. Although the road passing through the center of the Tianjin Mountain Range is relatively wide, thieves usually attack from both sides. Please let the caravan workers cut down more here. Some trees are made into wooden shields for our heavy cavalry infantry to use. This will be very beneficial to resist attacks on both sides."
Mulats said happily: "Leader Feng is still thoughtful. Okay, just do it, I'll go right away." After speaking, he turned around and left the camp. Feng Gulu rushed to the crowd and said: "I'll help President Mu arrange the size of the wooden shield." After speaking, he followed out.
Duan and Xuanyue also stood up, the atmosphere in the tent became awkward again, and the two sides looked at each other and were reluctant to speak first. In the end, Dumb broke the silence. He rushed to the skull and stretched out his hand, saying: "Head, I hope we can cooperate successfully this time and safely the caravan to the destination. Let's talk about the matter between us later."
The other party is so generous, the blood skull is naturally not good and too stingy, holding the hand of Ah-Dah, and said: "Okay, let's expose our affairs first, and everything will be focused on this task." Although he is hostile to the duo and Ah-Dah. Very strong, but it is undeniable that the other party does have a strong strength, such an unimaginable ability at such an age makes the Blood Skull secretly admire.
"Then we will leave first." After saying that, after Ah Dao nodded to the three skeletons, Tong Xuanyue turned and walked out of the camp.
Seeing their leaving back, the blood skull sighed and said: "It seems that the magician is right. Maybe we will never be able to surpass them."
Iron Skull said: "Yes! If that day, when the magician did his best, we may not have the opportunity to use the world to do nothing. Brother, after this mission is over, I think we should return to the master. From his old man's place, please ask his old man to give us some pointers. Your Huoyan vindictiveness is almost able to learn swordsmanship from the master."
The blood skull nodded and said with a serious face: "No matter what happens tomorrow, you must forget the previous private vengeance. You must not affect the reputation of our skeleton mercenary group because of your own personal grievances. It is for us to keep the caravan. That's the most important thing. Okay, everyone, let's start adjusting your breath. Just now, I suddenly felt a sense of horror. This vague premonition indicates that the road to the Tianjin Mountain Range will be very difficult this time. We must proceed with caution. "
Outside the city of Meme, a white figure galloped towards the east. This man was over twenty years old. His handsome face showed anxious look. He carried a three-foot long sword on his back. His body was extremely fast. Ba Buyi, the youngest Judge of Light in the Holy Vatican, had been away from the Holy Vatican for some days, and he had not found Xuan Yue's trace after coming out a few days later than Xuan Yue. It was hard to hear that there was a miracle in Mimu City, so I rushed here to ask, and got news from the sacrificial offerings. He knew that Xuanyue and Dui had met again, and he couldn't help feeling very anxious. If they let them get along, it might be more difficult for him to chase Xuanyue. The only thing that made him gratified was that Xuanyue was dressed in men's clothing, maybe she Didn't you recognize that dumb? In order to get the heart of his beloved, after receiving the news, he immediately pursued the East with his own judgment.
Tianjin Peak, the main peak of the Tianjin Mountains.
Tianjin Peak is about 3,000 meters high, surrounded by clouds and mist. It is the highest peak in the entire Tianjin Mountain Range. The bandit’s headquarters is on the top. The bandits here have a history of decades. The leaders have changed group after group. For their own interests, various forces have constantly attacked each other and competed for control of the Tianjin Mountain Range. This situation has continued until March It just ended years ago. Three years ago, a group of warriors covered in black robes, including their faces, suddenly came to the Tianjin Mountains. The number of black-robed warriors is not large, there are only a few thirty people, all of them are tall and strong people. The bandits didn’t pay much attention to them after they entered the mountains. It only took less than ten days to sweep the various bandit camps in the Tianjin Mountains. Six of the 27 camps, large and small, were completely wiped out. The chickens and dogs were not left. The remaining 21 camps surrendered one after another. In the end, the boss of the camp almost all died in the hands of these men in black. The poison of their methods caused deep fear for all the bandits. A total of more than 4,000 bandits were completely controlled by these 30 people. Since the bandits of the Tianjin Mountains were unified, all the merchants passing by have never been able to pass smoothly. Although the bandits have increased their income, most of them have been taken away by the mysterious black warriors.
Inside the Juyi Hall at the top of Tianjin Peak.
There are more than a hundred bandit leaders from various camps gathered here, and the bandits in the Tianjin Mountain Range are completely controlled by the black warriors through these people. They all looked respectfully at the man in black sitting on the central seat, waiting for his instructions.
The voice of the man in black was cold without a trace of human feelings, and said faintly: "Why I invited you, I think you should be very clear. Not far from the mountain, a group of fat sheep is coming, it is said to be the Tianjin Empire. People from the Stanti Business Association Alliance. The Stanti Business Association Alliance has always been named for the production of precious spices and jewelry. The goods they carry this time must be invaluable. This time, we can only succeed without fail. No matter how much the price is paid, we must Snatch this batch of goods, as long as you succeed, I will naturally reward you. Do you have any opinions?"
A thin middle-aged humane said: "Chief village owner, this caravan might not be so easy to intercept! They hired the skeleton mercenary group. We have dealt with the skeleton mercenary group before. They have very strong strength. The martial arts of the blood, wind, iron, and ice skeletons headed by the four skeletons are very powerful. We lost thousands of manpower that time, and the strength of the cottages was greatly damaged. I think we should consider this matter carefully."
The man in black snorted coldly, and said: "The skeleton mercenary group? What can a small mercenary group do? I'm completely overwhelmed. The villages will begin to prepare to roll woods and rocks tonight, ready to intercept the caravan. You guys. Don't worry, with me and my brothers, the four little skeletons of the Skeleton Mercenary Corps are like four ants. I can kill them with just one finger."
The leaders of the villages are still a little hesitant. After all, they have suffered big losses on the skeleton mercenary group. Now, under this "master village master", they are trembling every day, and no one wants to let the strength of their subordinates suffer. damage. The man in black stood up abruptly, his height reached two meters away. He stretched out his hand that was also wrapped in black cloth, patted heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Hurry up. This time, if you let the caravan If you run away, I will replace all of you, and don’t want to be spared your family. Have you forgotten my methods?"
The leaders of the villages couldn't help shivering, and took their orders.
Seeing his subordinates leave, there was a glimmer of coldness in the chief village master’s eyes, and four men in black walked out of the shadow behind him. One of them walked to the chief village master and said: "Master Green, Skeleton Servant I’ve heard of the Corps before. If we fight with them, we’ll lose a lot! Why do you have to? Those spices and jewelry are really important to us?"
The owner of the village sneered: "Of course it is very important. According to the news from the organization, the caravan from the Stanty Alliance this time carries goods worth tens of millions of gold coins. The organization is in need of funds to purchase..., so , We must rob this batch of goods, and then sell them to the Yajin tribe through the relationship of the organization, so that we can make a lot of money, I think the leader of the old man will be very happy. As for The strength of the skeleton mercenary group, I know better than you, those four skeletons do have good strength, let the bandits here rush to be cannon fodder first, I don't believe that the superiority of numbers cannot affect the skeleton mercenary group. When they consume the skeleton mercenary group, we will dispatch again, and no one can stop us."
"Yes, Lord Green King is wise, I will let my brothers prepare. A few days ago, another 40 green men were sent from the church. With our current strength, we should be able to achieve the effect you said. We only need to kill those weak humans clean. I haven't done it for a long time. I really want to feel the smell of human blood now." The light of blood-devouring flashed through the eyes of the black warrior.
In the early morning, the caravan people got up early to pack their bags. Everyone knows that today will be the most dangerous day of this trip. As long as we can get through today’s difficulties safely, the road behind will be Broad Avenue, and there will be nothing more. Blocked. After a full night’s rest, the members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group were full of energy. They disappeared for a few days and the leaders returned to their posts. For a while, the Skeleton Mercenary Group was full of vigor and confidence. Prepare to meet the enemy's sneak attack.
Dui and Xuanyue did not make a carriage today. In order to respond at any time, they rode a tall horse together. Due to the improvement of their skills, Dui's horse control skills are much more proficient than before. They only need to input Shengsheng Qi to cross the horse. Inside, the steed will move forward as he wants.
The blood skull glanced at A Duan and said, "Look, after this slope, the Tianjin Mountain Range is in front of you. If the bandits deliberately looting the caravan, they will usually wait until the caravan has penetrated into the mountains before they do anything. Be vigilant at all times. The most terrifying thing is that the rolling wood thunderstones falling from both sides, falling from hundreds of meters high mountains, the impact is very terrifying."
Xuan Yue suddenly said, "The big wooden shields you asked the caravan to make yesterday are just to prevent these."
After last night’s hard work, the caravan now has almost a shield. Ordinary workers and mercenaries have a small shield. The heavy cavalry infantry of the Skeleton Mercenary Corps holds one side two meters high and one meter wide. Fifth, a huge shield with a thickness of more than fifteen centimeters and a sharp cone at the bottom, even these trained fighters, holding such a huge shield is very difficult, but they know that this shield is the best way to protect their lives. Good protection.
The soil in front was gentle, and the whole caravan gradually walked over, and a towering mountain range appeared in front of everyone. Dui seemed to feel that he had returned to the Tiangang Mountains. Although the mountain range in front of it is not as majestic as the Tiangang Mountain Range, it is still undulating, with various plants growing on the mountains, and the mountains are surrounded by green.
The Blood Skull raised his hand, stopped the whole team, and shouted: "Everyone rests in place." The members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group scattered around vigilantly, and Mulatz got off the carriage. Walking to the side of the blood skull, he whispered: "Head, do we need to send someone to the mountains to explore the way first."
Blood Skull shook his head, and said: "You don't need to find the way anymore. If the other party has an ambush, our pathfinder will not be able to come back. Instead of losing more manpower, we might as well rush over. President Mu, you let the caravan's subordinates The most valuable trucks are concentrated in the center, and the lower value ones are placed in the front and the periphery. Once there are robbers, the workers in your caravan should not do it. They will only add to the chaos. We have everything. Don’t worry. The road is relatively wide, so we will deal with it carefully."
When he got here, Mulatz couldn't help feeling a little frightened, and he hurriedly promised a few words, and left without any promise. Seeing the blood skull commanding Ruo Ding's wind of the king, Duan couldn't help but admire secretly. Although his cultivation base was higher than his, he was much worse in other places.
The blood skull flew up and landed on a tall carriage, looking around for a week of his mercenary group's men, the lucky dantian, a loud voice came from afar, "Brothers of the skeleton mercenary group, the front is what we used to The Tianjin Mountains that have been here, we have been here a few years ago. Thousands of bandits lost their criminal lives in our hands, but we successfully escorted the caravan to the destination. Now, we are once again. Standing on this land, not far ahead, there may be thousands of bandits waiting for us, my warriors, are you afraid?"
The mercenaries of the Skeleton Mercenary Group shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid - wherever the skeleton comes, you are invincible."
Blood Skull’s depression for many days seemed to be expressed at this moment, and shouted: "Well, as long as we pass the Tianjin Mountain Range, our mission will be basically successful. Brothers, let us work hard together. We are not afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice. We have the strongest belief. No one can stop us from moving forward. Raise the weapons in your hands. Our weapons will soon be contaminated with the blood of the enemy. Only their blood can witness us. Brave."
Listening to the words of the blood skull, even Dumb felt blood boiled, not to mention the skeleton mercenaries, the spears and swords were all raised high, shouting loudly.
Blood Skull looked at his imposing subordinates with satisfaction. The effect he wanted had been achieved. Raising his hand, the skeleton mercenaries gradually calmed down. The blood skull’s eyes were full of power, "Okay, now I come Rearrange the formation. Each side of the heavy cavalry infantry guards two hundred people on both sides of the caravan, and use your wooden shields to be ready to resist the attack on the mountain. The bow and arrow brigade is in the middle, as long as you see any enemy targets appear, you must use The steel arrows in your hands end their lives. This time through the mountain, your mission is the most important. As long as you perform normally, I think we can certainly eliminate any enemy that intercepts us. The light cavalry brigade is also divided into two parts, each part Two hundred people, before and after the separation, are ready to help the heavy cavalry in response. Brothers of the commando, you still obey my command. As long as the main force of the enemy appears, we are their urging curse. After a few years with me, you I also know my character. Anyone who stops us from moving forward has only one end, and that is death. Well, from now on, rest for 20 minutes and try to restore your physical strength, and then we will rush through the Tianjin Mountains in one go. "
Xuan Yue whispered to Dumb: "Brother, this blood skull arrangement is quite reasonable, no wonder this skeleton mercenary group can match today's status. What should we do?"
A dumb voice said: "Let’s adapt, brother, I will protect you by your side. You can help them with magic as much as possible without harming your body. I also want to see your sacred light magic. How powerful it can be. I hope that the bandits are afraid of the skeleton mercenary group, so they don’t show up. I don’t want to kill."
Xuan Yue said: "Brother, you can't be too soft-hearted. Killing a bad person is equivalent to saving countless good people. There are not many homicides on one of the bandits here! If you encounter an attack, you should never show mercy. Actually The bandits can't threaten us at all. No matter how strong they are, they won't be able to stop us from joining forces. We will do our best. If we can't, we can run away."
Dumb shook his head and said, "Brother, since we have accepted the task and received the deposit from others, we must do our best. You can't have the idea of ​​quitting halfway!"
Twenty minutes came soon, and the mercenaries of the Skeleton Mercenary Group exuded a murderous aura, and the spirit of the world was going forward, and the momentum had reached its peak.
The caravan gradually entered the Tianjin Mountain Range under the protection of the mercenary group, and went around a small hill. Dumb saw that there was a road about 100 meters wide in front of him, leading directly to the depths of the mountain range. There were traces of knives and axes on the surrounding mountain walls, and there were obviously traces of manual excavation. Duan couldn't help being taken aback. Could it be that this road through the Tianjin Mountain range turned out to be artificial?
The Blood Skeleton rode on his black horse and looked at A Duan with a surprised look, and said calmly, "The Golden Mountain Range was indeed artificially excavated this day, which consumed countless manpower and material resources. The main reason for the opening of this road in the Tianjin Empire was at the beginning. I just hope that it will be convenient for business with the Yajin tribe. If you don’t go from here, you will inevitably go to the Yalian tribe. The Yalian tribe is full of grasslands and it’s very difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass. But who knows that this road is open After reaching the completion of the bandits in the mountains, it facilitated their robbery."
Xuan Yue closed her eyes and silently chanted a spell, an inquiry magic was released by her. Since reaching the level of a magister, this magic she has been able to detect everything that happened within three kilometers of the surrounding area, and the caravan had traveled less than five miles, Xuan Yue suddenly opened her eyes, and the skeleton whispered: " There are three people on each side of the mountain. They should be the spies of the bandits. The one on the left is on the big tree that grows obliquely halfway up the mountain, and the one on the right is behind the not far from the foot of the mountain. You see how to solve it."
Xue Skull was startled, and turned overjoyed. He didn't even bother to ask Xuan Yue how he did it, and immediately turned around and whispered something to his guard. Seven or eight guards disappeared into the team, and the caravan still moved forward slowly. After a while, the guards returned, all with excitement on their faces, and the skeleton made a gesture.
The blood skull rushed towards Xuanyue in a low voice, "The spies have been eliminated, thank you brother." He knew that destroying the other's spies was equivalent to blinding the other's eyes. This is very beneficial to his own people, and then act again. It's much more convenient.
Under the effect of Xuanyue's inquiry magic, when the caravan had traveled ten miles, a total of seven groups of bandits' spies died in the hands of the blood skeletons' guards.
As she was moving forward, Xuan Yue suddenly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't leave now, there is a situation ahead."
The blood skeleton raised his hand to stop the caravan from advancing. The mountain road in front was much narrower than the road they had just passed. The mountains on both sides stood tall, and there was no sound in the woods on the mountain. The blood skeleton looked at Xuanyue. Said: "Any spies again?"
Xuan Yue shook her head, her eyes flashed with cold light, and said: "It's not a spy. There are at least three thousand people on the mountains on both sides. They are breathing very fast. They should be preparing to ambush our enemy."
The blood skull snorted coldly, and said, "These bandits are so bored, they actually dare to intercept us, three thousand people, hum."
Xuan Yue pondered: "Head of the Blood Skull, let's do it, I have a way to force these bandits out, and you order your men to prepare to attack." In fact, with Xuan Yue's current magic level, if you fully attack the sides of the mountain The bandits are bound to bring huge casualties to them, but after all, she was born in the Holy See, had kind intentions, and couldn't bear to kill herself personally, so she made this proposal.
Blood Skull was overjoyed. Although he didn’t know much about magic, Xuanyue’s previous performance made him full of confidence in this young magician. He immediately summoned Feng Skull and asked him to move the bow and arrow team to the front of the team. The cavalry brigade and heavy cavalry infantry brigade are ready to charge.
Xuanyue took out the angel's staff, sighed, and chanted: "Great God of the heavens! Please lend your divine power that fills the heavens and the earth to your loyal believers~EbookFREE.me~ Wash with divine light Evil soul, cast the surging holy power on the earth and turn it into a little bit of starlight to destroy the darkness of the world." The angel's rod surging with golden light, Xuanyue slowly floated from the horseback, hanging above the top of the team. At the front end, the surging sacred aura filled her delicate body, she slowly closed her eyes and raised the angel's staff. The golden light became more and more prosperous, and as everyone in the caravan watched in astonishment, Xuan Yue's body was already like a small sun, completely shrouded in golden light. Dui floated to the bottom of Xuan Yue, full of vindictive energy, staring at the surrounding movement, ready to respond.
The thieves who were ambushing on both sides of the mountain road naturally saw what happened on the caravan’s side. Among them, there were many well-informed people. Some people shouted, "This is light magic. We have been discovered, archer, quick, Shoot that magician." Although Xuanyue's position was not reachable by the rolling wood thunderstone, it had already entered the attack range of the bandits. For a while, countless drizzle-like long arrows flew out and shot into the air. Xuanyue.
How could Ah Dumb make Xuan Yue hurt? Floating in front of Xuanyue using the newly learned method of fighting Qi floating body, the pale green shield of birth and transformation completely protected herself and Xuanyue. The long arrow shot in front of them could not penetrate the solid defense. , Have fallen to the ground. The huge shields of the heavy cavalry infantry showed their power. The cone-shaped bottom was inserted deep into the ground, and the caravans behind them hid under the carriage one after another. The bandits’ arrow attacks did not cause any damage to the caravan except for injuring a few horses.
