Chapter 65 Ancient legends (5)
Three thousand elite troops were selected from the central army to replace the disappearing front army to explore the front.
At this time, rumors were already spreading in the central army. Every day, deserters tried to leave the large army and descend into the tree. Of course, once discovered by Yao and his confidants, they would be executed in the most harsh way.
The various rumors and rumors of the Central Army have even affected the Later Army, making many people in the Later Army more impetuous.
The more he pressed, the more dissatisfied the soldiers at the bottom were getting worse.
On the 45th, heavy rain fell from the sky. The blood-red demon light came again as promised. All the soldiers climbed the tree walls tightly in the swaying wind and rain, and they could do nothing except pray.
When the blood disappeared in the sky, many people in the central army raised their heads one after another. They were surprised to find that the three thousand front troops disappeared again at a height of one thousand meters.
This time, they didn't even have time to issue an alarm.
Faced with all this, Yao not only did not give any explanation, but continued to order to remove another thousand people as the current army, and the three armies continued to advance!
Finally, the soldiers who were extremely patient broke out. The soldiers smashed the hanging baskets for military rations, threw away their armor and flags, and attacked all the believers of the Giant Tree God Cult on the giant tree.
This was the first civil strife of the Expeditionary Force.
The final result was that under Yao's instruction, a thousand secret masters in the army used secret techniques and easily suppressed soldiers several times their number. The main force of the rebels was brutally suppressed and left behind the abyss. The remaining remaining troops had to obey Yao's orders again. On this day, Yao showed his iron-blooded skills.
Two blood lights appeared, and a total of 6,000 people were lost. After the civil strife of the Expeditionary Army, the central army lost nearly 3,000 people. In order to replenish combat power, the senior leaders of the Giant Tree Divine Sect once again ordered some of the laborers of the rear army to be removed, and weapons and armor were distributed to them to act as soldiers.
The central army was once again replenished to eight thousand men, and a thousand laborers climbed to a high place to serve as a new front army.
At this time, even the labor and labor behind the back were responsible for carrying food. As long as the blood appeared, the person who climbed to the highest point would disappear inexplicably. Isn’t this someone who went to die? Due to Yao’s brutal rule, no one dared to violate his orders, but at this time, the entire expeditionary army was already panicked and had no combat power.
Santou's mother was mixed with a thousand secret masters in the Central Army at that time. As Yao's confidant, he suppressed those laborers who dared to resist. But even among the secret masters, many people were dissatisfied with Yao and were about to leave the group and go down the tree.
On the 47th, this army, which had actually been betrayed by many relatives, continued to advance. At this time, they had reached a height of 6,000 miles, which was the height where Lu Lie was hundreds of years later.
On the 48th day, the blood light appeared again. It not only swallowed a thousand vanguards as scheduled. The soldiers of the central army found that the aftershocks were over. When they opened their eyes, they found that half of their comrades were missing.
There were 8,000 soldiers in the central army, and more than 3,000 people evaporated again.
And after all this, Yao's latest order was still moving forward.
go ahead.
go ahead!
go ahead……
Always move forward, endless progress, continuous progress, leading to death!
At this time, the soldiers had already lost the enthusiasm when they first climbed the tree. They were not interested in what they had at all. They just wanted to survive at this moment! Why is it so difficult to simply live!
Yao and the top leaders of the Giant Tree Divine Sect never explained to these soldiers at the bottom what the red light in the sky was and why humans disappeared as soon as it appeared.
They simply regarded these soldiers from the bottom as cannon fodder and sent them to explore the way, constantly increasing their unnecessary sacrifices.
The civil strife of the Second Expeditionary Force broke out.
The turbulence of this civil strife was far worse than the first time. The 20,000 expeditionary troops held * and hand axes and fought like crazy in the air, and countless people were beheaded and fell into the abyss. Even many of the confidant secret scholars around Yao turned their guns and attacked Yao and his staunch believers.
When the expeditionary army set out, probably no one expected that they would be today. The rebels once gained an overwhelming advantage, after all, there were only a very small number of soldiers standing on Yao's side. This war in the air lasted for a whole three days. Just when the rebels were infinitely close to victory, Yao took action himself. He once again swept the rebels' military power and suppressed the unrest with his powerful secret technique.
But don't forget that when he was young, he was also a genius who met once a century of secret techniques.
After this turmoil, there were only less than 10,000 people left in the entire expeditionary army, trapped in people and horses. At this time, it was attacked by a group of strange creatures, which made the expeditionary army exhausted. After repelling the wave of monsters, even Yao had to look at this problem directly - with the current state of the expeditionary army, it was unlikely that it would continue to climb up.
Finally, the extremely stubborn old man made a slight compromise. He ordered the entire army to stop at this height, and then dig out the bark and drill a passage to the inside of the giant tree.
After the news was conveyed, the three armies cheered. At that time, everyone thought that the reason they wanted to chisel into the giant tree was to avoid the hunting of demonic lights in the sky.
However, the ending was already destined as early as the Expeditionary Force climbed the tree. When Lao Zhuang chiseled open the shell of the giant tree, they were surprised to find that the inside of the giant tree was actually empty and had a unique world.
The three armies cheered again, and they must have thought that it was a gift from God to them, giving them a place to hide and avoid the terrifying demonic light in the sky.
Everyone entered the giant tree one after another, including Santou's mother. At that time, after experiencing two civil strife in the expedition, she was lucky enough to die, but found that she was already pregnant with a child.
The mother of Santou did not dare to tell anyone. Because at this dangerous altitude, a pregnant woman means a burden. Now everyone around her has reached the limit. She is not sure what will be waiting for her after saying this news.
After entering the giant tree, the Expeditionary Force was attacked by various mysterious creatures, including fish with thick legs, spiders larger than elephants, and the sudden cracking of the earth. However, Yao seemed to have known that all this would happen for a long time, and he was indifferent and guided the Expeditionary Force to overcome all obstacles and reach the depths of the giant tree space.
What awaits them at the end is an empty and vast land. Yao told them that he would build a new kingdom here. Everyone here will become the first members of this kingdom. The rest of their lives will be spent here and never fall trees again.
Before climbing the tree, the warriors of the Expeditionary Force thought that they would die in battle, would fall off the cliff, eat up all their supplies, and finally starve to death. Various situations would happen.
They are ready to face death, and they are mentally prepared for any accident.
But no one expected that such an ending would be like this.
