Mercenaries Under the Sky

Spring February 2 is called the dragon by the people. In the calendar, at 12 noon on this day, the humid and warm airflow from the southern part of the Eminor mainland will replace the dry and cold north wind from the ice and snow continent. On this day, people hope the water system The sacred dragon makes the head rise up and the clouds rain and moisten everything.

In the spring of February 7 of the magic calendar, on February 2, the northern part of Huayu Plain, which should have ushered in the first spring rain, ushered in the second fire in just half a year.

At noon, the fire had swept 40 miles south, and the fire site was more than 160 miles wide. The fire burned for four days and three nights before it went out.

A total of more than 673,000 priests, soldiers, civilians, and laborers stationed in the Baili joint camp of the Xidijun cluster, after this fire, finally survived the difficulty. The statistics afterwards were only 78,300, which just exceeded the fraction, and, the survivors 70% of them were also burned and burned.

Among the 26 legion chiefs of the Western Emperor's Battle Group, 19 were killed; 283 thousand were long, and 185 were killed; the death rate of officers under 100 was more than 70%. The casualties were heavy and unprecedented.

His Majesty the Pope and several cardinals in red and most of the priests escaped the difficulty. The reason is very simple. Most priests are able to release floats skillfully. They can even cross the Mississippi River by stepping on floats, not to mention the three trenches. In addition, the priest's most basic sacred shield is 20% to 40% immune to fire attacks. Most of the guards of His Majesty the Pope are knights of Eudemons, so they will fly and escape ... or retreat naturally and easily.

The sweat-blooded iron-riding mercenary regiment suffered heavy losses. The two main leaders of the Iron Hand Barrier River and Han Han drove the dragon to chase Ling Yun and Khu Erdu, and the dragons were headless. In addition, they were all knights. There were less than ten soldiers of the mercenary regiment who finally fled the sea of ​​fire.

What makes the sweat-blooded iron riding A-level mercenary regiment unbearable is the dragon knight's cold death!

In the calculation of Tayan Ruyi, of course, several dragon knights of the Fanos camp-Elder Qingluo, driving the mad eagle, had been waiting for Lingyun and Huerdu on the periphery. The iron hand blocked the river and Hanhan had just chased from the smoke. As soon as he came out, the elf shortbow in his hand shot all the kelesit arrows in a flash. The iron hand blocked the Grand Duke from left to right and was still shot with two arrows.

Poor Han Han, the super brave of the Soul List, a glass of Tayang cocktail fell into the stomach, and his eyes were dizzy. He sat down on the fire dragon and was shot in the neck by Qingluo's arrow feathers. Drive the dragon to chase up from behind, wave the blue stone sword with both hands, and severely cleave, Han Han, deputy head of the **** iron ride, was cut into two sections, Han Han sat down and the fire dragon was cut off the spine by the blue stone sword and fell. Died on the Fanshui River.

Shuda's mount dragon is a sacred dragon of the fire department, and has natural immunity to flames. The dragon power emitted by the higher-order sacred dragon directly disperses the thick smoke around him. Shuda sees the cold death and iron hand from far away. Grand Duke Jiang was shot by Qingluo, and then saw Chi Aotian driving Lilong to fly like a canary in the sky above Fangang City.

In the **** night of the imperial capital, the three brothers and sisters of Shuda only had a tie with Chi Aotian. They were also killed by Chi Aotian. Shuda knew there was a gap between him and Chi Aotian, plus there were hunters staring at him next to him. Qingluo, the huge gap between the human knights is no longer able to make up for the sacred dragon level. Therefore, Shuda and Iron Hand Grand Duke echoed each other and withdrew from the southwest.

What surprised the world was that the two commanding adults, Norton and Monton, miraculously directed the majority of the army directly under the headquarters to withdraw from the fire at the last moment. They chose the same retreat direction-the Fanshui River on the north side of the big camp , The two Orc Commanders were as calm as Messi Snow Mountain in front of the fire, and their subordinates had absolute trust in their immediate officers. They quickly moved closer to the two heads of the regiment, and the Fanos Double Shield commanded The troops rushed northwards against the fire, pushed down the earth wall, pushed obstacles such as horses into the trench, then dug the earth to fill the trench, came to the south bank of the Fanshui River, and retreated southeast along the south bank. The two legions were mainly composed of bearmen, half-orcs, centaurs, and human knights. When they encountered a flame back several times, they all hid in the Fanshui River. They finally retreated safely, and the two legions converged on the way back.

From another perspective, the fiasco of the Fanshui River was a trap set by the black robe priest Tayang, and it was also the Western Emperor's war cluster that defeated itself.

Not to mention Norton ordered to dig three trenches six meters wide on the north and south sides of the camp in order to prevent Chi Aotian's expeditionary force from attacking the camp. This is after all a part of the Tayang trap, which is unpredictable.

As early as the fall of the 6th year of the magic calendar, in order to completely encircle the Chi Aotian expeditionary army after the battle of twisting the waist, the coalition at the time set fire to the original forest that stretched thousands of miles in the Lanshan Mountains. This fire burned the vegetation completely. . The fundamental reason why the forest of Lanshan has not been felled for thousands of years is because this vast forest is used to stop the dry wind of the desert from going south.

The forest was burned out, and the dry season of the Huayu Plain in the 6th year of the magical calendar came exceptionally early. Due to the dry air currents of the desert, no snowflakes fell for a whole winter, and the shrubs such as pastures and willows withered yellow. The main peak of Lanshan made up of sedimentary rocks burned through, and Tayan and the two magisters opened a huge tuyere on Tongshan Baling in only two days. If there is no such strong wind, even if the joint venture is fully fired, it will not be fast. Spread and burned out for dozens of miles at a time, at least half of the soldiers were caught up by the fire on the grassland after they escaped from the camp.

Looking further into the distance, if you worship the Zoroastrian Church, if the Holy Church is not going to kill it, the chief priest of the Zoroastrian priest will never lead the Shuangshuola priest himself. Then ... I can say whether this fire can be burned.

In short, in the yin and yang differences, the Huayu Plains are fighting each other. You hammered me and hammered them for less than half a year. Eventually, a full 600,000 troops were buried in the northern part of the Huayu Plain.

On the morning of February 2nd, Chi Aotian drove through the fire several times to drive away from the dragon. Each time he returned to Fangang City, his brows became tighter. Soldiers are more expensive than fast, which is the most common sense of using soldiers, but the huge area of ​​the sea of ​​fire in front of them is obviously unable to use soldiers. Finally, at 12:00 in the morning, Chi Aotian finally gave the order: "Retract troops!"

On the evening of February 2nd, the spring rain that was 4 hours late was finally pulled down sparsely, and for a full night, in the spring rain, the fire in the distance was still burning. Early the next morning, Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force gave up stationing the Fangang City for more than a month. In order to bypass the Huohai, he had to travel more than 70 miles westward along the Fanshui River and spent an afternoon. On the Fanshui River, immediately, the expeditionary forces once again entered the state of forced march, the goal-the city of Wulu, the capital of the Holy Church.

This time, the forced march was relatively hard. In the spring of Huayu Plain, the ghost knew what wind was blowing in the next moment. In case of being caught in the fire by accident, this joke will definitely last forever. Therefore, the expeditionary force had to go around a very large arc.

On the spring of February 9 of the 7th year of the magic calendar, Ulu, the capital of the Holy Church, entered the sight of the Chi Aotian expeditionary army.

The history of Wulu has been tracing forward for 13,000 years. Of course, the town of Wulu at that time was not counted as an unknown small village with only 12 families, and it was the most typical natural village on the grassland. The fixed herders drove the cattle and sheep to graze. If the water plants withered, then the herdsmen would give up here without hesitation. It was in this small village that Ulu Moyada, the great magician of the natural department famous in the magic world, was born.

After the war of magic and martial arts, the Anti-Magic Alliance expelled the remaining forces of the magic empire to the azure islands, and there was no real magician in the real sense for 7000 years in the continent of Eminol and Ice and Snow. Magic is a fourth-order magic wind dragon. This situation began to change after Ulu Moyada entered the Academy of Magic as a thief.

During the lifetime of Ulu Moyada, he excavated more than 1,200 graves and monuments, most of which were left over from the period of the magic empire, bearing the crime of tomb robber, Ulu Moyada re-established intact The three magic systems of fire, wind and dark, and sorted out the magic of the sacred system. Therefore, Ulu Moyada can be called Leonardo of the Age of Magic Renaissance; Da; Finch.

After the death of Ulu, the small village where he was born became the place where the future magician hangs from the past and is named Wulu Town. As for the construction of the city of Ulu, that was the last 400 years.

Compared with other imperial capitals, Ulu City itself is not tall. The wall is only 9 meters high, and the tallest tower is only 12 meters high. There are only four gates in total, and they are placed in four directions. From the city walls to the towers to the ordinary houses, the materials used are blue bricks of uniform specifications-in the hinterland of the Huayu Plain, except for the red soil is the meadow, let alone the towering ancient wood, even the large slap stones can not be picked, all buildings Can only be built by burning bricks. The blue bricks and countless blue brick buildings make the rainy Ulu city look clean and fresh. Walking in the blue brick alley after the rain, there will always be an illusion of entering the historical promenade, which is also the biggest reason for Urudo scholars. .

The buildings in Wulu City are also in the pattern of south and north. Apart from the church, there are no luxurious residential buildings. Nobles in various countries do not like to buy real estate in Ulu City-this city is not suitable for the life of nobles and rich people, priests are everywhere on the street, and priests with titles like bishop, archbishop, and cardinal in red are often encountered. It is difficult for us to find the feeling of shouting in the enclave in the city; the rich do not like this city any more. The lives of the priests are very poor, especially the monks, and the life of the faithful believers of the Holy Church is very frugal, plus this One of the important criteria for urban residents to honor the donation of property to His Royal Highness, the wealthy, was too late to hide.

A big city without rich people and nobles undoubtedly has another unique charm: fairness. Therefore, a considerable number of other emigrants chose to settle in Ulu. According to incomplete statistics, 800,000 people live in the city of Ulu and within 20 miles of Ulu.

There are two tallest buildings in Ulu City.

The statue of light and the temple of light perfectly constitute the first group of important buildings. The 35-meter-high idol of the **** of light is carved from a complete sandalwood, and cleverly uses the forks separated during the growth of the sandalwood, and in turn engraves the arm, ivory shield, crown and so on of the **** of light. The whole statue is in one body, and from any angle, it has the feeling of admiration, and can't help but bow down to the temple of light.

The Temple of Bright God is 32 meters high, 112 meters long, and 76 meters wide. It is also square, square, north, south, north and south. The east-west central axis bisects the entire city of Ulu, and there are 48 magnificent black marble columns around it. It is said that the 48 marble columns were specially given by His Majesty the third king of the Amy Empire. The roof of the temple is milky white. These white slate rocks were mined from the mercenary empire sent under the ice of the east of the eastern foot of the holy snow. It has a unique kind of elite-clear appearance, especially in the sunny night It seems that the milky white temple roof and the white cloud are integrated into one, which really has a feeling of heaven and earth.

Located east of Ulu City, is another group of tall buildings-the headquarters of the Holy Church and the seminary. Because it is located in the same city as the Temple of Light ~ www.novelmtl.com ~, the highest vault of the headquarters of the Holy See is only 23 meters. The headquarters of the Holy Church is composed of nearly one hundred courtyards, large and small, each of which is completely functionally independent. Among them, the most famous ones are religious tribunals, trial centers for ascetic monks, and advanced training sites. Most of these courtyards are not open to the public. The style of the seminary is exactly the same as the style of Ulu City, except that the courtyard wall is as high as the city wall of Ulu City, so it seems a bit cold in the college, and Sha Ruo graduated from here.

"Major General, Major General ..." Qu Jianhong led the mount dragon and ran back from the front of the team.

Chi Aotian's eyes swept coldly, and Qu Jianhong subconsciously let his eyes drift for a moment: "Major General, Hou Hou rewarded, a large number of people suddenly came out of the gate of Ulu City, and there is no contact yet."

Oh? This is really strange.

Since three days ago, the two Hurricane battalions have been closely monitoring Ulu. According to previous information, Ulu City should now be an empty city.

The news that Chi Aotian's expeditionary forces returned from the desert empire was sent to Ulu City for the first time, and at least 50% of its residents fled. Residents who have not escaped are **** believers. They believe in all the content of the official publicity of the Holy See. They firmly believe that under the shelter of His Royal Highness, more than 500,000 elite troops will beat Chi Aotian's expeditionary force to the bone. ...... In fact, I really can't find any bone residue. The only regret is that the subject and the guest changed their positions.

Soon after the defeated soldiers of the Fanshui River fled into Ulu City, the Expeditionary Genius Elf Knight also chased into Ulu City, watching the whole city exploded, and then, a large number of rushed out from Ulu South Gate, East Gate and West Gate Escape team. Half a day later, the major streets of Ulu City were empty, leaving only garbage on the ground.

Now, how can there be a large number of people again?
