"To be honest, I'm really reluctant to give up. This branch has just been established no more than ten days ago. With our advantages, we have just made some reputation here... But now that the rebel army has entered the city, we can only

Can evacuate.”

In Hongyulou's shop, after seeing that enough space had been cleared outside, the store manager came out with the waiters.

He looked at the chaos in the city and sighed: "Fortunately, a sentry was set up in advance and the signs of unrest were discovered in time. Otherwise, if we waited until the rebels entered the city and started to clean up, it would be too late."

Sentinel is a unique name within Hongyu Tower for sub-machine operators who specialize in security, investigation and other tasks. With the development of his own power, Jiang Yan no longer needs to take action personally. He can conquer the new sub-machine as long as his brain does it for him.

Every time Hongyulou establishes a new branch, out of security needs, the brains will at least set up a complete monitoring network within the town where they are located. Not only common whistles like the Ruby Blood Bee, but also some

Small animals and insects with low intelligence will also be subdued silently. Using such an inconspicuous little guy as a spy is very difficult for the enemy to guard against. Many intruders are wary of the Red Jade Blood Bee but ignore it.

Ordinary small animals then reveal their whereabouts.

In this grassland invasion, it was not the defenders of Jade Bird City who quickly discovered something was wrong, but the ordinary bird whistles scattered in the sky outside the Great Wall by Hongyu Tower. Therefore, even before the prairie cavalry entered the city, the Jade Bird City sub-building had already

Start packing and prepare to evacuate.

The country of Bi is just a small, third-rate country. There are only 6,000 defenders in the Blue Bird City, and they have not fought for many years. Facing tens of thousands of elite prairie cavalry, all of whom have acquired first-level or above strength, the intelligence will soon rise.

The judgment cannot be defended no matter what.

"Hurry up, more masters are already coming this way." The guard urged in a cold voice.

"Well, hurry up, everyone get up." Everyone acted quickly. The manager of the branch store climbed onto the broad back of the gryphon. The waiters also divided into groups of three and sat on the backs of the black iron eagle and the blade feathered bird.

.

How could the grassland soldiers watch them run away? They held their weapons tightly and subconsciously took a few steps forward to stop them. They saw a red cloud composed of ruby ​​blood bees in mid-air suddenly buzzing down.

Silence turned into a protective wall in front of them, and the densely packed vermilion compound eyes made all the soldiers' scalps itch.

A few soldiers who took two or three steps forward were immediately attacked by dozens to hundreds of bloody wasps, biting and biting them, and turned into corpses in just a few breaths.

Some people have long tried to use kerosene to deal with swarms, but the effect is very low. Unless the kerosene is directly contaminated on the body and ignited, the heat and fire smoke will only spread in the aftermath. Now Hongyulou has cultivated it with the blood of countless alien beasts.

The Red Jade Blood Bees, which are becoming more and more ferocious after undergoing many updates, are completely unafraid.

Only fifteen minutes have passed since the prairie cavalry entered the city. And less than five minutes have passed since the rebels targeted this branch of Hongyulou and planned to invade until now they found out that it was a tough nut that made it difficult for them to get off the tiger.

minute.

When Lie Cang followed the movement and came over accompanied by his personal guards, what he saw was three huge alien beasts rising into the sky and flying sixty or seventy meters in the air, heading towards the outside of the city.

Go scene.

"Is it a strange beast? But this kind of momentum is even stronger than the most ferocious Gale Eagle in the grassland... Eh? Is there someone on the back?" Lie Cang curiously looked up at the people in Hongyulou branch who were gradually going away, but

Glancing out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the miserable corpses of the prairie soldiers on the ground, as well as the two seriously injured elite warriors not far away, and his face suddenly darkened.

"what happened?"

Immediately, a soldier briefly explained the reason quickly.

"Hongyu Tower? I see, I've heard about it too." Lie Cang touched the storage Xumi bag he got from a businessman from the Central Plains on his waist, and a hint of evil flashed across his face.

"Want to run away? I heard that every branch of Hongyulou is extremely rich, and the headquarters is even more wealthy. How can I let you run away so easily?"

Lie Cang took off a large red iron bow from his back and took the three fine iron arrows handed over by his bodyguard. The three arrows were placed on the bow at the same time and stretched into the shape of a full moon, with streaks of crimson energy visible to the naked eye.

It emerged from his hand and wrapped around the arrow like a flame, dyeing the black fine iron arrow fiery red in the blink of an eye.

The speed of the second-level flying beast is not comparable to that of ordinary flying birds. In the short time of about ten breaths of listening to what happened, several people from Hongyulou branch had already flown two thousand meters away, and they were only one step away from flying.

Once outside the city wall, the height has climbed to over 800 meters, a position that is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers.

But the soldiers on the grassland were not worried. They admired His Highness's bow skills extremely.

Lie Cang just took aim slightly and decisively let go of the bowstring: "Get down here!"

Boom boom——! It was obviously just a bow and an arrow, but the sound was like the roar of a cannon, causing the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers to hurt slightly. The stone pavement paving the street under Lie Cang's feet even sank at this moment.

Four or five centimeters, and cracked out several crack-like cracks extending for more than half a meter.

Three red spiral flames shot out side by side, turning into three red flame spears nearly one meter thick. They instantly caught up with Hongyulou and the others two thousand meters away, and aimed at the three accurately.

The alien beast attacked from behind.

However, before the flame spear hit the alien beasts, three talismans shining with golden aura were thrown backhand by the guards on the back of the griffin beast. These talismans exploded in the air at the same time and condensed into three sides.

A large round shield with a diameter of more than ten feet and glowing with golden aura blocked the flame spear.

The three flame spears bombarded the golden light shield and after about 0.2 seconds of stalemate, they blasted it into shining golden shavings that scattered all over the sky. However, its own structure also disintegrated and exploded in mid-air.

Three huge fireballs, the flames scattered in all directions, swallowed up the figures of several people and strange beasts in Hongyu Tower.

"Did you make it?"

"...No." Lie Cang shook his head, put down the iron bow, and exclaimed: "I was stopped unexpectedly. The man in black reacted very quickly. I have never had an arrow that was stopped midway.

Experience."

Sure enough, the three alien beasts were seen wrapped in a shield made of flowing wind, which pushed away all the surrounding flames, and rushed out of the aftermath of the explosion unscathed.

"Your Highness, shall we pursue him?" a guard asked.

"Forget it." Lie Cang shook his head: "The opponent can fly. It would be fine if it were an ordinary bird, but our cavalry cannot catch up with such a strange beast, and the attack will be difficult to be effective unless we let the heaven-level elders

Take action? This is the first battle that I personally lead. I don’t want to bother the elders just because of such a few people. The Hongyulou branch here only has this small number of people, they are just shrimps and insignificant. I heard that the opponent’s headquarters is in a new place.

To the south, you can't just run away if you want. Let's leave the debt this time until our army reaches further south to settle the settlement with them... Oh, you can actually turn invisible?"

Lie Cang's excellent eyesight allowed him to see that the black-clothed warrior among the group of people on the horizon took out a few more talismans and crushed them, and then a layer of spiritual light covered their bodies and the bodies of the alien beasts below, and then

As if they were sinking into mist, the figures of the group of people suddenly became blurry, and then quickly turned transparent, disappearing as if they had merged into the sky.

Even with the eyesight of a fierce goshawk, it would be difficult to distinguish the location of the group of people in the vast sky after being separated by such a long distance.

"Interesting! Is this also the effect of Zhongyuan magic? These guys have so many good things. I am looking forward to meeting again in the future."

Lie Cang smiled with sparkling eyes, put back his iron bow, turned around and walked towards the city lord's mansion: "Continue to rest, and we will leave early tomorrow morning to continue going south."

Because of this experience, Lie Cang developed a strong interest in Hongyulou, which also led to his head-on collision with Hongyulou's combat troops.

…

To the west of Liguo, in an occupied city in the Yan army camp, Lu Ming was looking through the latest intelligence.

"Did the grassland clans in the Northern Territory unite, led by the Lie clan, and launch an army of more than 100,000 people from the Bi Kingdom to invade the Eastern Territory Continent?"

Next to him, Yan Yiming was sitting at the desk, staring at a map spread out on the table. On the map, the clear dividing lines between the enemy and the enemy between the Yan State and the alliance headed by the Yuan State were clearly marked.

Compared with the blue area of ​​the Yan Kingdom, the red area of ​​the Alliance of Nations occupies much more territory on the Eastern Continent, fully twice the area of ​​the Yan Kingdom. The area in the north is also the area of ​​the Alliance of Kingdoms.

area, and therefore, the invasion of the Northern Territory Grassland Army can be said to have stabbed the rear of the alliance coalition forces at a very critical moment.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Ming looked at Yan Yiming, who had completely returned to his prime state, with a deep breath, all his energy, blood and essence deeply restrained. There were bursts of brilliance in his eyes, and he chuckled with satisfaction.

"Yiming, you should have an idea, right?"

"Yes." Yan Yiming raised his hand and placed the green flag representing the northern grassland army behind the alliance of nations, with a sneer.

"The Northern Territory's participation at this time can just set a fire for the rear of the opposing coalition forces. In order to quell the unrest in the rear, the coalition forces must send part of their troops to return reinforcements, which will be of great benefit to us. I think that those northerners

It’s probably not a coincidence that the barbarians would choose this time to invade the Eastern Region when we are fighting against the Yuan Kingdom’s coalition forces!”

"The correct answer is that we don't need to do anything deliberately at this time. We just need to continue sending troops to attack the Yuan Kingdom Alliance so that they can't concentrate on returning to support the rear." Lu Ming nodded with a smile, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be some interesting information. Those northern barbarians seem to be very interested in our old enemy Hongyulou and are interested in collecting information about Hongyulou's headquarters. We can make good use of this aspect."

Speaking of this, Yan Yiming's eyes also flashed with murderous intent, and he remembered some very unpleasant things: "I heard that there are also heaven-level masters in the northern grassland, should they follow here this time? Release some information as bait.

, it would be best if they fight to the death and both sides suffer losses!"

Yan Yiming gritted his teeth, and a strange blood-red light appeared in his eyes. On the skin between his neck, a black dragon tattoo suddenly appeared, swimming ferociously, and even appeared on his head.

The shadow of a black dragon appeared.

A trace of invisible aura radiated out that even Lu Ming himself felt a little depressed.

"Don't be impatient! Yi Ming, the refining of that thing is at a critical moment. As long as it is completed, our hegemony will no longer be hindered. By then, both the Yuan Kingdom Allied Forces and Hongyu Tower can be destroyed. Before that, you

But don’t be impulsive or you will lose all your previous efforts!”

"I know." Taking a deep breath, the blood in Yan Yiming's eyes dissipated, and the black dragon patterns and dragon shadows on his body also quickly faded.

"Yes." Lu Ming nodded, a strange light flashed quietly in his eyes.

Then he snapped his fingers and saw a figure that seemed to be one with the darkness floating in silently from the door.

"Send this to the top brass of the Northern Territory Army."

The figure silently took a jade slip thrown by Lu Ming, nodded slightly and then retreated.

Two days later, the jade slip was delivered to Lie Cang. After playing with the jade slip several times in the military tent, he looked at an old man with white eyebrows and earlobes sitting quietly next to him.

"Elder, what do you think?"

"The intention is very obvious. The other party has a grudge against the Hongyu Tower and wants to use us to borrow a knife to kill people." The white-browed old man raised his eyelids slightly, and his turbid eyes pierced with a hint of coldness towards a man in black in front of the military tent. Suddenly,

Raise your hand.
