Mount Tai Commandery, Nine Rivers City.

The entire city area is a massive hunting ground.

The Nine Rivers City area is the only city area within the entire Zhuang Kingdom without an official road. It is a hunting ground for fierce beasts, the largest nest of fierce beasts.

And Nine Rivers City, and the towns and villages under it, are all military camps.

There are no civilians in the Nine Rivers City area, only soldiers.

This city area has no official roads, no so-called safe places.

But where the soldiers are, that is a safe place. The road the soldiers have walked is a safe road.

Fierce beasts are unintelligent, but they have been forced to give way.

That is where the Nine Rivers Black Armor has passed.

Most of the soldiers in Nine Rivers Commandery are reservists. The real Nine Rivers Black Armor only numbers a thousand.

Du Yehou is one of them, and also a squad leader, in charge of five people. Due to vacancies, there are currently only three.

Of course, in his letters to his brothers, he gave himself the title of Commandant.

In his opinion, it’s only a matter of time, so it’s not bragging.

In a certain military camp, Du Yehou, covered in blood, walked into the military tent.

“Hey, hey, why are you coming in covered in blood?” someone in the tent asked.

“It’s okay, it’s all the blood of fierce beasts.” Du Yehou casually wiped his face and said casually, “Commandant, it’s the end of the year, I want to take a vacation. I want to spend New Year’s Eve with my family!”

“I’m not worried about you? I’m worried you’ll get my tent dirty!” The Commandant had a knife scar on his face and muttered, but his hands were not slow, and he quickly scribbled a few strokes and handed over a token: “You’ve never had a rest, you deserve a long vacation.”

“Oh, that’s not right.” He asked casually, “I remember you’re an orphan, aren’t you?”

In the Nine Rivers Black Armor, there are many homeless people. In the words of the Nine Rivers City Lord, “If you had parents, or if your parents were a little more attentive, they wouldn’t let their children come here to die.”

The Nine Rivers Black Armor never shies away from life and death, so this is not a sensitive topic.

“Look at what you’re saying.” Du Yehou didn’t care and said, “I don’t have parents, but I have older and younger brothers. They’re all waiting for me at home. Looking forward to it! Heard of it?”

“Just read a book!”

Du Yehou ducked and dodged the slap, laughing as he burrowed out of the tent.

Maple Forest City area, city guard garrison.

As the ground fissure spread to this point, many soldiers were training.

Wei Yan noticed immediately that as the ground fissure expanded, a mist was forming between heaven and earth.

He was too familiar with this mist!

The incident at Small Forest Town could never be erased from his memory.

“This disaster’s scope is not one city or one town, but covers the entire city area. It may even affect the entire commandery!” Wei Yan said this to Zhao Lang.

He never doubted his judgment, so he immediately jumped onto the high platform, gathered his Dao essence, and shouted loudly: “City Guards, all troops listen up! Don’t take anything, don’t care about anything! Immediately retreat from the city area! Save as many as you can…”

“Get out!”

A large foot kicked him off the high platform. The City Guard Commander, known as Fang Big Beard, squeezed onto the high platform, still cursing.

As the supreme commander of the entire Maple Forest City Guard, he unhesitatingly modified the order: “The situation is urgent, I won’t say anything else. All City Guard soldiers listen up! Immediately disperse in small teams, with Maple Forest City as the center, and search the entire city area. Be sure to find the source of the earth disaster in the shortest amount of time! This is very dangerous, but I want you to fill it with your lives! Save your hometown with your lives! Tell me, are you afraid?”

Boom! Rumble!

In the earth disaster’s huge rumbling sound, the collective roar of humanity was more magnificent than the earth fissure.

“Not afraid!”

“Not afraid!”

“Not afraid!”

Fang Big Beard waved his hand: “Depart!”

The military ranks scattered with a bang.

Wei Yan glared: “This is a pointless sacrifice! Fang, you’re sending the brothers to their deaths for nothing!”

“Death is certain. Whether it’s for nothing or not is uncertain.” Fang Big Beard glanced at him contemptuously, chose a direction and set off: “If you’re afraid of death, get lost yourself! Don’t drag my soldiers down!”

The entire city guard garrison was cleared out in the fastest time.

Of the one Main General, two Deputy Generals, and five Lieutenant Generals of the Maple Forest City Guard, apart from Wei Yan standing still and Zhao Lang not yet moving, all the others took the lead.

Everyone knew that this sudden earth disaster must have a source, and everyone knew the danger of searching for the source of the disaster amidst the disaster. At this time, even fleeing for their lives might not be enough, let alone going against the tide of refugees and facing danger head-on.

No one was a fool.

But almost all the soldiers made the most “foolish” choice.

They went to the most dangerous place.

Wei Yan watched the backs disappearing into the distance without saying a word.

He looked back at Zhao Lang, but Zhao Lang just patted him on the shoulder and left without saying a word.

He didn’t understand.

He was not a coward afraid of death.

But was this meaningless sacrifice really necessary?

It was the same mist. The last time in Small Forest Town, the entire town was razed to the ground, and even Wei Quji personally arrived, it was to no avail.

Now that the scale has expanded to the entire Maple Forest City area, who can turn the tide?

Unless the Zhuang court had prepared in advance, but as a high-level member of the city guard, he understood that there was no action in this regard.

Fang Big Beard and Zhao Lang and others couldn’t possibly not understand this.

But why did they still do such a foolish thing, and even drag the entire city guard to their deaths?

Shouldn’t the most important thing for a general to do in the face of despair be to preserve as much of the living force as possible?

But this time, even Zhao Lang was gone.

No one could give him an answer anymore.

He stood alone in the empty city guard garrison, just like when he was five years old, left alone in the wilderness.

That year, his mother. To protect him.

Her corpse was lying in front of him.

And his father, Wei Quji, just glanced at him and rushed past him.

Wei Quji had countless merits and countless people left behind.

Suddenly, a loud bang disturbed Wei Yan’s unwarranted emotions.

A figure flew back in front of him at an extremely fast speed and fell off the high platform, spewing blood wildly.

It was Fang Big Beard, who had just left.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yan instantly understood.

This disaster covering the entire Maple Forest City area, the earth disaster was just the first move.

That force that had been lurking in the dark for many years, no, it could now be directly presumed to be the White Bone Sect.

The White Bone Sect was assassinating the organizers of Maple Forest City in an organized and premeditated manner, with the obvious intention of paralyzing Maple Forest City’s ability to save itself.

And Fang Big Beard, as a peak expert in the Rising Dragon Realm, was beaten like this, how strong must the opponent be?

“Your mother!” Fang Big Beard flipped over and jumped up, still spitting blood, but he had already rushed back without hesitation: “Demonic scum, die to your grandfather!”

Three figures wearing zodiac bone masks and black robes appeared, each using their own methods to besiege Fang Big Beard.

And their aura… three peak experts in the Rising Dragon Realm!

Shua!

Golden light flashed like lightning, and Wei Yan slashed in.

The three black-robed men scattered instantly, and a piece of torn robe corner fluttered down.

Although it only tore the black robe, it also disrupted the formation of these three people.

“Looking for death!” One of the black-robed men, whose mask was engraved with a skeletal snake, turned to Wei Yan. His voice sounded like a woman’s.

Her voice was sharp. With a wave of her hand, countless filthy blood snakes surged from her palm, biting at Wei Yan.

Among the blood snakes, silver snakes suddenly appeared.

Fast snow swam, like silver lightning and clear frost, dissecting the attacking blood snakes.

The black-robed leader, wearing a rat bone mask, met the heavily injured Fang Big Beard and said, “Leave this one to me. Eleventh, go help Serpent quickly deal with him.”

The dog bone masked man didn’t say a word and jumped back. From behind him, countless evil dog souls surged out.

Woof woof woof!

Roar roar roar!

Baring their teeth and claws, they tore at Wei Yan.

A stone wall silently blocked the dog bone masked man.

It was Zhao Lang who heard the noise and returned in the first instance.

The moment he landed, he had already finished pinching the formula, and suddenly the wind rose and the fire ignited.

A strong wind blew and flames became a sea of fire.

“Your opponent is me!” Deputy General Zhao said.
