Chapter 370 Fuse
The snow whistles, and the cold wind is mixed with snowflakes, covering everything.
Sitting on the chair, the mayor looked at the man in front of him in panic. For some reason, he was always a little worried about this guest who appeared in his town in the current bad weather. Although the man and his companions were wearing Yuliya's magic armor and had a kind attitude, the mayor always felt that something was wrong. Although, for his border town, due to the special location, the Federation and Yuliya would send people to patrol from time to time. However, in the mayor's memory, they had never appeared in such bad weather. After all, although this is a border town, most of the people living here are kind local people, and few people will pass by. They are just some peace-abiding farmers, fishmen and carpenters. However, looking at the group of guard soldiers who arrived during the snow-blowing north wind, he felt extremely uneasy.
This group of people... seems to be a little different from the usual border patrol soldiers.
But the mayor couldn't say why.
Moreover, he felt a little cold.
"You don't need to worry, long."
The man wearing a helmet seemed to look at the old man in front of him, and his voice was solemn, but with a hint of warmth.
"We're just here for a while, and as soon as the blizzard stops, we'll leave immediately."
"That's how..."
The mayor let out a long sigh of shame for his weakness. After learning the news, the old man, who was nearly seventy, finally felt relieved. After all, he was just an ordinary man from a businessman. Staying in the room with such a soldier was a bit too irritating to his slightly fragile nerves. The man didn't say anything anymore. The only thing that puzzled the mayor was that why didn't he take off his helmet off his head while sitting in the warm living room?
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and everything is peaceful. At this moment, even the blizzard has become much smaller.
"The snow is about to stop."
The old town mayor stood up, walked to the ground, muttered to himself as he looked outside, snowstorm outside.
"Would you like to stay here tonight? Or..."
The old mayor did not finish his speech.
The cold and sharp sword king passed through his chest. The warm air entered his body along the wound. Life and blood sprayed out all flew away. The old mayor didn't even have time to turn around to determine what he had met and closed his eyes. At this moment, the man had already pulled back the sword and dried the blood on the sword's body.
At this moment, a low and light sound suddenly came from outside the door. This made the man snort coldly with some dissatisfaction. Then he looked at the body of the old man who had already fallen to the ground and walked out of the room with great strides.
In the corridor, a teenage girl had already fallen softly on the floor. The clearly visible wound on her throat kept spraying blood, and the eyes that were already blank but without focus remained with fear. The man raised his head and looked at his companion beside him, as if asking.
"She saw it."
His companion quickly explained this, and Xun wiped the blood from his sword on the girl's body. The man said nothing about it. He just nodded, then pushed open the door and walked out. The snow outside had weakened a lot. Before he got out, they were silent and gathered next to the man without saying a word. Then, they walked into the house and came out of oil and firewood, and walked back to the hut they had just come out.
Soon the flames surged into the sky.
The raging fire began to burn, devouring the wooden houses of the town, and greedily ignited anywhere they could cover. These flames seemed different from ordinary flames, even the cold winter wind and the cold snowflakes could not weaken their power. Even when the broken wood fell into the snow, the melted snow water did not have any effect on the flames. It was not until they themselves lost the attached burning objects that slowly disappeared. With screams, many town residents had woken up from their sleep. They tried to open the door to escape the terrible fire. But they felt powerless - someone blocked every door from outside, making them unable to leave their nests.
The fire became stronger and stronger, and the fire became louder and louder. The crying, screaming, and asking for help became weaker and weaker. It was not until it was confirmed that there was no sound except the sound of the burning flame that the man snapped his fingers coldly. Then, the soldiers quickly put away their weapons and left the border town surrounded by flames.
The next day, the entire 6 received a shocking news.
The federal unilaterally declared that, as Leah had no access to any
In the meantime, they unauthorized the border town of the Federation and caused extremely serious casualties and injuries. The Federation decided to regard this as a declaration of war, and they would start a war against Yuria for this!!
As soon as this statement came out, the Great 6 was shocked.
Yuria's response made everyone smell the strong smell of gunpowder. Wuyaota claimed that the Federation's excuse was a conspiracy with no evidence. If they dared to invade Yuria's territory, then all the countries of the Federation will face Yuria's anger!
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Almost all Yuya's border lords began to prepare for war, and the Red Fortress, Azus, and Liuli City became the center of attention. The Five Yao Envoys also gathered in the Five Yao Tower and made a public declaration - this also represents Yulia's attitude. After all, according to the treaty, the Song Envoys cannot appear on the front battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary. The appearance of the Five Yao Envoys represents Yulia's position, and it is also said that war is inevitable. After all, the Five Yao Envoys like to sway everywhere and cannot find people. Although this may be a sign of danger to ordinary people. However, for all countries on the Sixth, they would rather not gather these five people publicly, because it is easy to remind them of a legend that they are very reluctant to imagine.
In just a few days, the number of troops in the Red Fortress had reached 150,000. The troops gathered by the Federation had also exceeded a large army of 300,000. In other aspects, the 100,000 iron-armored cavalry regiment firmly controlled the city of Liuli, making Stefair unable to take any action. She was not allowed to concentrate all her troops on maintaining the southern defense line. A total of 50,000 defended troops were assembled to maintain the stability of the southern front. Countless troops and supplies began to mobilize, and a large number of magicians put down their books and began to go to their battlefield.
The entire Big 6 was waiting with breath, waiting for the inevitable battle to unfold. Many countries could not understand why they dared to challenge Yuliya with the strength of the Federation. Yuliya's reaction was understandable - after all, no country would remain peaceful when facing two consecutive invasions.
Only the reaction of the Forest of Life was beyond everyone's expectations.
The two neighboring federal countries not only did not send troops to attack the Life Forest, but even consolidated their own defense line. In the city of Azus, the gathering of troops did not exceed 50,000. It can even be said that the Life Forest is the weakest area. If the Federation really wants to attack Yuliya, then they should start from here, instead of taking a foolish risk of putting all their troops into the attack on the Red Fortress. You know, that is a powerful fortress that even the devil army was deterred by!
Almost everyone believed that the Federation did this because it was probably because Imin and Mayalie were beaten to death. This made them afraid to face their past failures and made stupid choices and decisions.
However, Yiming and Mayalie think so.
"They will definitely come."
Yi Ming sat quietly on the chair, shaking his wine glass leisurely, staring at it.
"We have to do, just wait, wait for their arrival."
In the Border Fortress Command, the generals looked at him nervously and seriously, Mealley and General Shickett (thankfully he did not wear women's clothing anymore), waiting for them to give orders.
"Gathering heavy troops... is just a trick. Do you mean that?"
Shuket seemed to have restrained his depressing character on weekdays and asked seriously.
“That’s it.”
Yi Ming smiled coldly.
"For them, Red Fortress is just a bait. It is best to be able to break through, and there is no loss in breaking through. After all, it is the most powerful fortress on the Great Six. If you can take it, it will bring considerable shock to the empire. But even if you can't take it, we will only take it for granted. This is obviously exactly what they want to see. I can guarantee that although the Federation has gathered most of the troops in Red Fortress, their ultimate goal should be us. After all, it will only take a few days to march from us to Lily Flower City. Moreover, due to the destruction of Moonlight City, the resistance of this route will be less than other places. Since the Federation has provoked this war, their purpose is definitely not to throw their soldiers out and die... Even if they die, they will have value."
"But, Lord Yiming, your plan is too bold. I think... it should be safer..."
A Mu Qing couldn't help but said to Yi Ming with some concern.
"Don't worry."
But facing his questions, Yi Ming just made a gesture.
