Chapter 142 Speculation (two in one)

  A caravan is driving on the official road leading to Shengshan County, with endless refugee camps on both sides.

  In the middle of the caravan, a middle-aged man carrying a halberd and riding a steed looked worriedly at the refugee camps on both sides, his lips and teeth moved slightly:

   “too much”

  A young man who was also riding a horse came over and asked in a low voice:

   “Tou Xue, what is too much?”

  The steeds the two of them were riding were all of the blood of monsters, tall and handsome, with extremely distinct muscle lines.

  The middle-aged man glanced sideways at the young man:

  “There are too many refugees.”

  The young man then looked back at these refugees, fell silent for a while, and said in a low voice:

   “In this way, the refugee camp here is indeed much larger than what I have seen before, but what’s wrong?”

  The eyes of the middle-aged man are deeply worried:

  ”If you don’t pay attention, there will be riots in these refugee camps.”

  The young man was a little disapproving, pointing to the military camp stationed in the distance:

  ”There are frontier troops stationed over there. Judging by the size of the barracks, there is at least a thousand-man army, and riots are not a concern.”

  The middle-aged man sighed and said in a low voice:

  ”I’m not worried about Shengshan County, but about us caravans.”

  The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became weird. Looking at the numb refugees, he whispered:

  ”It shouldn’t be so, harassment of officialdom is a felony.”

  The middle-aged man shook his head:

  ”If you can’t survive, who cares about this? I hope that the inspection by the Imperial Supervisor Tiansi can quickly evacuate these refugees. If they continue to gather like this, these refugees will not survive. Got it.”

  The young man’s eyes flashed, and he clenched the weapon slightly:

   “Well, the scale of the monster wave near the Wanxing Mountains seems to be large.”

  And his voice has not yet fallen,

  A flock of birds suddenly flew out of the rolling forest on one side of the official road.

  A large flock of birds,

  It is so big that it can almost block out the sun!

  The flock of birds came and went quickly, and within a few breaths, they had passed the top of the official road and fled towards the territory of Dayan

  And this sudden change, everyone on the official road saw it, and it made everything on the official road seem to press the stop button.

  Everyone knows what these flying birds represent, but no one dares to act rashly in this position.

   And in all this stillness,

  The middle-aged man’s hand holding the halberd began to tremble slightly, but he didn’t look in the direction of the forest, but looked at the refugee camp again:

   “The monster is coming, ready to fight”

  The young man came back to his senses:

   “What?”

  The middle-aged man waved his long halberd and let out a bang:

   “The caravan gathers its formation and prepares for battle!!”

  “.”

  The monster is still a mountain forest to break through after all.

  As the first monster entered the refugee camp, and as a refugee died in the mouth of the monster, the panic spread uncontrollably!

   Horrified screams, mournful wailing, and angry shouting rang out almost immediately, as if a certain domino had been toppled, and chaos quickly spread in the slums on both sides of the official road spread within.

   “The monster. The monster is coming!!! Run!”

   “Ah!! Help.”

   “Zhi Niang, the village is gone, and even this Erxipo won’t let people stay, the imperial court”

   “My child, where is my child?!! Second baby!!”

   “No, don’t grab my food, this is for my mother’s life, don’t kill me!! Please!!”

   “Run, Faner, don’t run to the official road, the gentlemen there will not show mercy, run to Shengshan County!!!”

  As the panic spread, the refugee camp exploded like boiling water.

  In the refugee camp on the side of the Wanxing Mountain Range, countless ragged people rushed towards the official road like an avalanche.

  Some people want to escape to the other side of the official road, but some people want to take advantage of the chaos to grab a fortune.

  Those who were coerced and people with ulterior motives rushed to the various caravan groups on the official road wave after wave.

  The caravans on the official road reacted equally quickly when they saw such a scene.

   “These refugees are crazy!!”

   “The dart team is ready! Those who collide with the caravan will be killed without mercy!!”

   “Four seas caravans dare to snatch?! Kill!!”

   “These are ordinary people, do you really want to do it?!”

   “Asshole! Ordinary people will come to grab the goods?! This group of people is crazy!”

   “If you don’t do it, these refugees will not show mercy to you, and you will pay the merchant for the money of the goods?! Kill!!!”

  The bodyguards and knights guarding the caravan pulled out their sabers one after another, but these shining sharp blades still failed to stop the tide of refugees engulfed by panic and madness

   Like a sea tide, the refugee wave swept the caravan on the official road, and then swept to Shengshan County not far away!

  As soon as the monsters appeared, the psychedelic array engraved around Shengshan County was immediately activated, and in a flash, Shengshan County and the boundary of one kilometer outside Shengshan County had been covered by a Shrouded in thick white mist.

  Looking down from the sky, the entire Shengshan County seems to have disappeared.

  But this is for the outside world, and the internal chaos in the phantom array still continues.

  Even though most of the monsters have been isolated, the dark tide of refugees is still rushing towards the well-defined city wall like ants!

  The emotions of panic have swallowed up the rationality of these poor people. They desperately want to run to a place they think is safe, even if the monster behind them has been blocked.

  It’s a pity that the frontier army in Shengshan County will not allow them to enter the city.

  The generals in charge of Shengshan County know very well that letting these crazy refugees enter the city will cause even greater disasters.

  The frontier troops stationed on the edge of the refugee camp formed an army formation and waited for it.

  Being persuaded by the frontier army generals to no avail, under the constant impact of the surging refugee tide,

  The killing has begun.

  Kill!

  Those who dare to attack the city gate will be killed, and kill this group of crazy refugees to calm down.

  Finally,

  The chaos is still confined outside Shengshan County after all.

  In just half an hour, thousands of people died so silently under the turmoil caused by the monsters, and the number of people who really died at the mouth of the monsters was no more than a hundred people.

  Shengshan County has a total of three gates in the east, north and south. Because the west faces the Wanxing Mountains, there is no gate.

  After the smooth passage of commercial roads, Shengshan County set up three markets in the east, north and south along the three city gates.

  Every market is very lively, and the management method is very simple and rude.

   Garrison troops.

  Now the chief executive of Shengshan County is a school lieutenant general, it is really difficult to expect a big boss to manage these things.

  An army of 500 people is stationed next to each market, and anyone who dares to do anything in the market will be dragged out and chopped down.

  There are disadvantages and advantages to being in charge of the general. At least in an emergency, the response speed of the entire Shengshan County is much faster than that of bureaucrats.

  For example, now,

   Within half an hour after the wave of monsters arrived, the bustling market was forcibly emptied.

  Teams of frontier soldiers with sharp knives are patrolling back and forth in the city.

  Standing by the window of the inn, Xu Yuan looked at the thick fog in the sky that seemed to be eternal.

  Actually, the moment he saw this psychedelic formation start, Xu Yuan knew that if there were no accidents, there should be another accident.

   And so it is,

  In addition to the sergeants patrolling the streets, every once in a while there will be people on horseback shouting along the street to appease the hearts of the people.

  However, according to the person who heard the shouting, the scale of the monster beast wave this time is not large, and Li Pianjiang has already led the troops out of the city to kill the monsters under the order of Wang Xiaowei.

  The psychedelic formation set up by Xu Xinyao can completely trap the incoming monsters in the mist phantom formation, and draw them out in batches, so that the frontier troops of the formed army formation can organize them in batches Second siege.

  Efficient and safe.

  According to the description of the caller, this formation will probably be removed tomorrow.

  Looking at the martial law-enforced streets for the last time, Xu Yuan shook his head lightly, turned around and sat back on the bed.

  Ran Qingmo is next door, and they don’t share a room.

  After a short moment of silence, Xu Yuan whispered:

   “Old man Luo?”

  “.”

  Be quiet for a moment,

  The voice of the remnant soul of the saint came over, the voice was relaxed and smiling:

   “What?”

   “You said, with the wisdom of these monsters, how would they know how to attack the city?”

  ”Huh?”

  The remnant soul of the sage let out a sigh, then said with a low smile:

   “There are more than a dozen of these monsters in a nest. Gu Yuan can’t carry this much population, so we can only use these monsters as consumables to expand outward.”

  Xu Yuan shook his head:

   “I know this,

  ”I mean, why do these monsters like to gnaw hard bones like city fortresses?

   “Isn’t it good to rush over from some corners? Anyway, they are all consumables. You don’t need to think about how to go back. As long as you rush into the hinterland, it will naturally cause a lot of trouble for the Yan Dynasty.”

  The remnant soul of the saint has a long tone:

   “Monsters don’t have intelligence, but monster races do.”

  Xu Yuan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly realized the meaning of the words of the saint’s remnant soul, but he only spit out five words after a long while:

   “Another infighting. 6.”

  ”Fighting” on the border, Dayan’s sect and the imperial court will hold back each other, but if they really break into the hinterland, it will violate the common interests of the imperial court and the sect. Come a few more times , irritating the sects on the border and asking them to join forces with the imperial court to go on an expedition to Gu Yuan, it would really outweigh the gains for the monster race in Gu Yuan.

   “Sneaky? It’s really slippery.”

  The remnant soul of the saint grinned:

  ”The tide of monsters in the Wanxing Mountains every spring only attacks towns, which can be regarded as a routine temptation of Gu Yuan.

  ”As long as your Great Yan Dynasty can defend it every year, then everyone will live in peace, but if your Great Yan Dynasty is unable to maintain the 100,000-mile border defense line of the Wanxing Mountains in a certain year, Gu Yuan will probably have to Thinking about whether to get serious.

   “The fertile soil in the Central Plains is much stronger than that place in Guyuan where no bird shits.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan was a little dazed when he heard these words.

  He thought of the world lines of “Gu Yuan” in Cangyuan as the final boss. It is estimated that those world lines were due to the inability of the Yan Dynasty to maintain this long border line, which led Gu Yuan to judge that Yan was weak. Take the opportunity to invade

   Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan looked at the fog outside and suddenly asked:

  ”Old man Luo, can you forcefully break through this phantom formation?”

   “What?” The remnant soul of the saint seemed a little surprised.

  Xu Yuan repeated in a low voice:

   “I said, can you and Ran Qingmo take me out of this psychedelic formation?”

   “If the old man is in his prime.”

   “Okay, stop talking.” Xu Yuan sighed.

   “Tsk you boy.”

  The remnant soul of the saint smacked his lips, but immediately asked: “What are you worried about, kid?”

  ”This afternoon, before Zhou Xiaohe left, he said that he would come back to the inn this evening to look for us, but they haven’t come yet.” Xu Yuan said in a solemn tone.

  The remnant soul of the saint reacted quickly:

   “Do you suspect that this monster attack on the city has something to do with the Vientiane Sect?”

  Xu Yuan nodded:

  ”I didn’t think about it so much at the time. Just half an hour after the two of them left, the wave of monsters came, and their status in the Wanxiang sect should not be low. It’s a coincidence.”

  The remnant soul of the saint hesitated slightly:

   “But the Wanxiang sect has no reason to arrange a monster attacking the city. What good are dead people doing to them?”

  Xu Yuan got up slowly and walked towards Ran Qingmo’s room next door, whispering in his heart:

  ”This is something I can’t figure out, first spend so much money to cooperate with my fourth sister to build this psychedelic formation, and then arrange this scene of monsters attacking the city, except for the dead, this Vientiane Zong”

  Speaking of which,

  The corners of Xu Yuan’s eyes suddenly twitched, and his feet were also thumped:

   “This Wanxiang sect. Shouldn’t it be?”

  The thought that flashed through his mind made Xu Yuan feel a little unbelievable.

   “Why not?” the saint remnant asked.

  Xu Yuan hesitated a little, but glanced at the soul ring and spit out a word:

   “Ghost fog.”

  “.”

  Hearing this, the remnant soul of the saint was obviously stunned for a moment.

  Xu Yuan didn’t go out in a hurry, but just put his hand on the wooden door and fell into deep thought.

   “You mean that the Wanxiang sect wants to create ghost fog?” The voice of the saint’s remnant soul became very interesting.

  Xu Yuan ignored the old man, frowned and said:

   “This is hundreds of thousands of people. The Wanxiang Sect shouldn’t have the guts to blatantly create ghost fog?”

  The remnant soul of the saint did not have Xu Yuan’s hesitation, and said in a relaxed voice:

   “Boy Xu, this is not blatant.”

   “Huh?”

  ”The big array set up by your sister can isolate everything inside. Even if all the people inside die, people outside will only be regarded as monsters.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan was slightly silent, with hesitation in his eyes:

   “The number of hundreds of thousands of people who can be sacrificed is enough to make the Wanxiang sect.”

   “But no one will know.”

  The remnant soul of the saint shook his head and interrupted.

   “.” Xu Yuan.

  The remnant soul of the saint smiled softly, and said in a low voice:

  ”Actually, it’s very simple for you to verify your own ideas. Go to the Yamen and ask the generals of the frontier army to see if the magic formation can be closed, and look at the monsters that attacked this time How many more, if they can match up, then they will be close to each other.”

  Xu Yuan pondered slightly, his eyes extremely serious:

   “That’s it, first ask Ran Qingmo to go to the county government to have a look. If the Wanxiang sect really wants to create ghost fog here, they should secretly deploy other formations.”

  The remnant soul of the sage heard this and silently reminded him:

   “Take it easy, even if the power of the formation in this city is damaged, Ran girl and I will not feel good under full operation, not to mention that the frontier army in this city can form an army formation.”

  Xu Yuan pushed the door out:

  ”Don’t worry, I know how to measure.”
