In the far north, there is a long desert. No one knows where the desert ends.
In the desert, there are "devils". It has been infesting the human world for countless years.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a demonic tide that destroyed the world and almost overturned the world. Fortunately, the sages fought hard to save the fire of mankind. The elimination of the demon tide is also regarded by many as the end of the ancient era.
The two most powerful countries in the north are called Jing and Mu.
Both Jing and Mu countries stationed large armies at the desert border to suppress the demonic tide.
Therefore, this desert is usually called the border wilderness.
It means the boundary of human race, the dividing line between prosperity and desolation.
The two powerful countries in the northern region competed in all aspects, but they always joined forces in the face of the desert. This alone can probably give people a glimpse of the horror of "devil".
But for most people in this world, "devil" is just a legend. Because since ancient times, no demon has been able to walk out of the desert.
Probably people's only remaining fear of "devils" is the notorious nine human demons.
The easternmost part of the desert is endless quicksand, and leaving aside the endless quicksand, the border of the desert can be roughly divided into two halves. The east side is the defense area of the Mu Kingdom, and the west side is the defense area of Jing Kingdom.
As one of the strongest countries in the Northern Territory, Muguo occupies the largest grassland in the world, and of course it also has the most powerful war horses.
There are ten recognized strongest cavalry armies in the world, and the Muguo ranks second among them.
Standing at the border of the desert guarded by the pastoral country, on the left is the boundless grassland with green grass, and on the right is the endless desert of death. Heaven and earth draw a huge divide here, life and death are so close, and the contrast is so strong.
The long military tents belonging to the pastoral country are all located on this side of the grassland. Majestic armored knights patrol along this border. Unless the war starts, no one wants to set foot in the desert.
Although this place seems to be isolated from the world, loneliness is guarding the edge of the world. But it seems that as long as I don't step into the desert, I am still in the human world.
The desert is deathly silent. There is never any wind. It seems that even the wind blowing here will kill you. It's even less likely that there are any animals. Except for the evil spirits who wander here occasionally, the soldiers stationed here have never seen a second kind of life.
The knight patrolling the border reined in his horse and stopped to look at the desert. In his field of vision, a figure slowly approached and became clearer.
His long hair was simply tied up and hung down behind his head. He is wearing an ordinary sheepskin jacket, which is what all the herdsmen on the grassland wear.
The hair is a little dry and the lips are a little chapped, like an ordinary person who can't stand the sun - this is not unusual. Under the presence of God, any strong person who goes deep into the desert will be like this. Only the golden body and chalcedony can guarantee that the physical body will not be invaded in the desert.
The man dragged a huge leather bag, leaving a long mark on the desert ground, and walked slowly. The black stains on the body are also imprinted in the knight's eyes. They are demon blood, and "devil" blood is black.
Of course, the most surprising thing is actually that face.
When you see him, you will be surprised, how can someone look like this? How can she be so "beautiful"?
This kind of "beauty" even transcends gender and has the charm that confuses all living beings.
Even if his lips are chapped, even if his skin is rough, the combination of his facial features is so hopelessly charming.
But none of the knights dared to take a second look. There was a tribe leader who coveted this face before. As a result, he has been "missing" until now, and his tribe has long been divided up.
"Zhao!" The leading knight laughed: "My Yao Zhen! The great God Cangtu bless you for your safe return!"
"Yu" means to pull, and "Zhu" means to include and complete.
Yizuo is the person who pulls you forward at all times. In the pastoral country, it means the same as brother.
The Cangtu God is the belief of the Muguo people. According to legend, he is a god with the body of a wolf and the wings of an eagle and the feet of a horse. He is the god of wolves, eagles and horses. However, some priests believe that He does not have a specific body and cannot be accurately described. He has no appearance of any kind imaginable by man, and includes all imaginings. It does not exist anywhere and is everywhere at the same time.
"Yuwen." The young man who came back from the desert smiled and said, "It was not Cangtu God that brought me back safely, but my knife and fist."
Yu Wenduo, the captain of the cavalry army, was a majestic man with many braids, riding a tall horse and sounding like a trumpet. Laughing, he jumped off his horse, took a few steps forward, and hugged the young man.
While hugging him, he whispered: "In Mu Country, you should believe in God Cangtu, even if it is just in words. Cooperate with me, this will save you a lot of trouble."
When they parted from the hug, he changed into his cheerful look again: "How many more heads have I cut off this time?"
Yuwen Duo didn't look more than thirty years old. In the Mu Kingdom, it is not easy to be a captain of ten thousand men at this age, especially since he is also a captain of ten thousand men in the cavalry. This shows that he is not only strong in strength, but also has a good family background.
The young man named Zhao lifted the huge sheepskin bag in front of him and piled it at Yuwen Duo's feet: "They are all here."
"so much?"
Even though he had already speculated, Yu Wenduo couldn't help but look happy.
"Keep patrolling!"
Yuwen Duo shouted loudly and asked his knights to continue patrolling. He lifted up the huge sheepskin bag, held the war horse with one hand, and said, "Let's go into the tent and rest!"
As Yuwen Duo, he has his own tent on the border of the grassland. Of course, it cannot be too big. This is restricted by his official position.
But after this harvest, maybe it can be expanded.
The sheepskin bags contained the heads of evil spirits. It is said that there are many kinds of demons, but the only ones that border warriors can see are Yin demons.
The body of the Yin demon is half virtual and half real. The head is gathered by the demonic energy, and the body has a real shape, either in the shape of an animal or in the shape of a human. But after death, only the head can be preserved, turning from empty to real, while the body changes from real to empty, and directly dissipates.
After counting the number of Yin Demon heads, Yuwen Duo's expression became even more excited.
It was inconvenient to reveal it in front of subordinates before, but now I don't hide it: "Every time you gain more than the last time, Yi Zuo, you are really the strongest genius I have ever seen! Even compared to the geniuses in the royal court, you may not be worse!"
"Maybe it's just that you haven't seen much of them." The young man named Zhao said with a dull expression: "There are more geniuses in the world than you think, but many of them...may not have the chance to grow up. The world is very cruel."
Yu Wenduo didn't know how to respond to these words, so he had to ignore them and said with sincerity: "Rucheng Yizuo, let me ask for credit for you. Your Majesty is a man of great talent and great strategy, and he is a man of merit. It doesn't matter where you come from. .With your strength and talent, you can definitely rise to the top of my great herdsman."
Zhao Rucheng shook his head.
In the past, he had to have fine clothes and fine food, but now he was sitting carelessly on a thick blanket, grabbing a fat leg of lamb and gnawing on it.
"Old rules, the merit is all yours. I just want supplies."
The so-called supplies are nothing more than wound medicine, Dao Yuan Stones, some emergency formation disks, and the Soul Living Stones that must be equipped when entering the border wilderness. Human monks use soul stones to fight against the ubiquitous resistance and erosion in the desert.
"You just came back and you are leaving again?" Yu Wenduo was surprised.
Zhao Rucheng threw away the clean lamb leg bone, tore off another one, and said casually: "I feel the opportunity for a breakthrough."
"Then you should take a good rest and break through in a safe place..."
"It's faster in the wilderness."
"Having said that..." Yuwen Duo hesitated for a moment, then asked: "I have always had a question to ask you. I really want to know, what makes you work so hard?"
Zhao Rucheng stopped chewing the leg of lamb, was silent for a while, and looked down at the position of his heart.
"It's this regretful heart."
