It's the afternoon of August, the most dangerous time in the Northern Wasteland.
The scorching sun was scorching the earth, the heat was steaming, and there was no wind. The weeds that were originally very sparse were now withered by the sun and were dying.
At the south entrance of Orchid Town, two guards were leaning against the stone pillars of the gate, their military caps covering half of their faces. They were obviously too badly sunburned and had deserted.
"I feel like I'm going to be dried out in the sun."
"Me too, my throat is almost smoking."
Probably because the content of the chat brought out the feeling of thirst, the two of them picked up the military kettle at the same time, unscrewed the lid and drank a few big sips.
After drinking enough water, the two started smoking again. In this season and at this time, generally no one would come in or out, unless they wanted to hang out in the wilderness.
"I'll save another two years, and when I have enough money to buy a house, I will leave this hellish place and find a more comfortable place to stay." said a guard member in his thirties with a mustache.
"No way, although the salary in our edge town is not low, it's still far from enough to buy a house, right?" Another guard member, who was about the same age and had pockmarks on his face, expressed his doubts.
"It depends on where you want to buy it. Find an agricultural town near the mountains. A few hundred gold coins will be enough." Mustache said.
"You don't want a wife anymore?" he asked with a pockmarked face.
"It's too tiring to marry a wife. One person makes money for two people to spend. It's better to find a place to lie down." Mustache looked like he had been there before. "Anyway, I have a house. I can support myself by doing anything."
"You have no fighting spirit. As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir." said the pockmarked man with traditional ideas.
"Everyone has his own way of living, as long as he feels comfortable."
"That's right."
"Hey, someone seems to be coming over there!"
The two were chatting when they suddenly noticed a few people walking in the distance. There were five of them in total, all of them were men. They walked like a dragon and a tiger, with an indescribable power. Especially the strong man walking at the front, who is more than two meters tall and has a strong back and waist, like a big brown bear, which is very oppressive.
The guards in Edge Town were very alert, otherwise they wouldn't have survived until this point. They communicated with their eyes, pulled the bolt and loaded the gun in a tacit understanding, prepared for battle, and then waited for the other party to approach.
Time passed by minute by second, and as the strong man approached, the shadow spread forward, and the sense of oppression rose sharply.
"Stop!"
When they were still ten meters away, the two defenders aimed their guns at each other at the same time due to excessive pressure.
"Who are you and what are you here for!" Pockmarked face asked loudly.
Although the muzzle of the assault rifle was pointed at him at close range, the strong man did not stop and continued to approach the door. The other people traveling with him had sneer expressions on their faces.
"I told you to stop!"
"Otherwise I'm going to shoot!"
The two Orchid Town guardsmen subconsciously stepped back and shouted warnings.
When he was three meters away, the strong man suddenly stopped, crossed his arms, looked down at the two of them, and then said in a commanding tone: "Let your highest officer come out to see me!"
"This, this..." Under the huge pressure, Pockmarked Face mustered up his courage and said loudly, "This, this is Orchid Town, the Red Dragon Principality, the territory of Baron Pang Youcai, and it is not a place for you to run wild!"
"I'll say it again..." the strong man said slowly, but his voice was like a loud bell, which made the whole body tremble. "Call your highest officer to come out, otherwise..."
"Something big is going to happen!"
"You, please don't threaten us, we are the soldiers of the Red Dragon Principality!" Pockmarked his face and shouted, "If you dare to provoke the guards again, I will, I will..."
"Just what?" The strong man grinned and tilted his head, as if he was looking at a poor chicken.
"I'll kill you!" Mazi shouted with a red face.
The strong man turned back with disdain, smiled at his companions and said, "Did you hear that? He said he was going to kill me."
"Hahaha!"
The sand man and the black man among the four laughed as if they saw two fools.
"I'll say it one last time." The strong man looked down at the two of them, "Call your highest officer to come out, otherwise..."
His voice was like thunder, and he said word by word, "I will kill everyone in this town!"
"You, you are looking for death!"
When the fear reached the extreme, the two defenders had a nervous breakdown, pulled the triggers frantically, and fired at the strong man who was close at hand.
"Da da da da da da da!"
In an instant, tongues of fire spurted out and smoke filled the air.
However, there were sparks flying in the smoke, a tinkling sound could be heard, and all the bullets seemed to hit the steel plate.
After using up the thirty bullets in the magazine, the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a pair of heavy armor.
I saw the strong man standing there, maintaining the same posture as before, with his hands folded across his chest, looking down at the two people. His whole body was completely unscathed.
At this time, anyone with a little common sense can realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Holy, Holy Domain Arms!"
The two Orchid Town garrison members were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their voices trembled. They are not even elites, they are just ordinary soldiers. To them, strong men armed with holy domain weapons are no different from wild beasts and void demons.
If he hadn't served in Edge Town and was used to seeing life and death, he would have been so scared that he would wet his pants.
The two dropped their guns and ran back desperately, but they bumped into the closed door.
These five men were the killer team following Chen Xing.
Rhino Knight rushed forward and grabbed the pock-marked guard's neck, pushed hard, and smashed his head against the door panel.
There was only a "snap" sound, the pockmarked face penetrated the door, and his head was hung on the broken door panel. His head and face were covered with blood, his body twitched, and soon he rolled his eyes and lost his breath.
"Don't, don't kill me..."
Seeing the miserable condition of his teammates, Mustache was so frightened that he rolled on the ground and kept begging.
The shadow covered him, and he hugged his head in despair and huddled by the door. Immediately afterwards, his neck tightened and someone grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
A pair of copper bell-like eyes stared at him and said slowly, "Call your highest officer to come out."
"Yes, yes, I, I will immediately, immediately..."
In order to survive, Mustache nodded desperately. Then the collar was given away and fell to the ground.
"Sir, wait, I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"
As Mustache said, he opened the door with trembling hands, and then rolled and crawled towards the town.
Not long after, the roar of engines came from all directions, and dozens of dune vehicles and military trucks rushed over, surrounding the south gate of the town where the five people were.
Along with them, there were hundreds of heavily armed guards and more than a dozen mechas, as well as all the top officials in the town.
The city garrison, the security team, the water station militia, anyone with any fighting ability came.
There were only five people opposite them.
On the surface, one side seems to have a large number of people and is armed to the teeth, while the other side is weak and weak, let alone a mecha vehicle, not even a gun.
But in fact, the side with more people was prepared as if facing a formidable enemy, while the side with less people looked relaxed and didn't take it seriously at all.
On the side with fewer people, let alone only five people, the strong man standing at the front was enough to overwhelm everyone present, so that they did not dare to take a breath.
I saw that the two-meter-tall strong man was wrapped in thick armor, tightly fitting together, like a human-shaped iron can. Sitting down was an extremely strong rhinoceros, with four thick hooves and a muscular back that was more than two meters high. The unicorn on the forehead is flashing with lightning and the sound of thunder can't help but frighten people, making them afraid to face it directly.
Everyone in Orchid Town looked at me and I looked at you, and finally their eyes focused on the acting mayor Pang Youcai. Seeing that he could no longer hide, he had no choice but to stand up and shout to the other side.
"I am Pang Youcai, the mayor of Orchid Town, the first heir to the Pang family of the Red Dragon Principality, and holds the title of baron."
After introducing himself, Pang Youcai bowed and saluted, "Several adults have deigned to come to your place. If you have any needs, everyone in Orchid Town will definitely cooperate actively."
This powerful lord-level man armed with holy domain weapons alone is enough to bulldoze the entire Orchid Town.
Although Orchid Town is richer than ordinary edge towns because of Chen Xing, its military strength is at a quasi-lord level.
A quasi-lord level can still fight, but if you encounter a strong person of this level, the only way is to annihilate them all.
Even if they try their best and use up all the ammunition in the town, they may not even be able to break through the opponent's defense. Existences of the level of the Sanctuary Arms cannot be dealt with by ordinary weapons.
With such a huge gap, he couldn't help but bow his head.
"We are looking for a person." A deep and rich voice came from the can helmet, "As long as you cooperate and surrender him, we will not harm anyone here."
"Who are you looking for?" Pang Youcai asked cautiously.
The canned knight raised the war hammer in his hand, pointed forward, and said two words: "Chen Xing!"
These two words exploded in the crowd like a bomb, and everyone showed shocked expressions.
"You mean, you are looking for Chen Xingda, Da..." At this point, Pang Youcai suddenly realized that the title was a bit inappropriate and quickly changed his words, "Are you talking about the traitor Chen Xing?"
Yes, this is political correctness. The Prime Minister, whom everyone looks up to in the south, is a notorious traitor in the north, and everyone calls him a traitor.
Although Pang Youcai felt frightened when he shouted the word traitor, because Chen Xing is the real number one brother in Lanhua Town and has a broad mass base.
He kept comforting himself that he was just forced by the situation and everyone should be able to understand. Anyone who represents Orchid Town could only call him this.
If you ask who has a harder fist, it must be the Demon Princess of the North.
"No, he's right here!" the canned knight said decisively.
"This, this..." Pang Youcai looked around, and everyone had a blank expression, because no one knew that Chen Xing had returned to Orchid Town.
"Are you saying that the traitor Chen Xing secretly returned here?"
Before Pang Youcai finished speaking, a faint voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Who do you think is a traitor?"
The voice was cold, but extremely familiar. Pang Youcai suddenly froze, his head turned little by little, and then he saw a familiar face.
"Chen Chen……"
"Boss, boss, I, I am not, this is not what I mean..."
Pang Youcai stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. Chen Xing pointed at his nose, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
After saying that, Chen Xing flashed and teleported in front of the Rhino Knight.
"It's me you are looking for." Chen Xing pointed to the outside of the town, "Go outside and don't hurt innocent people."
"Can……"
Rhino Knight replied, but without any courtesy in his hand, he picked up the hammer and hit Chen Xing directly on the head.
Amid everyone's exclamations, the hammer shattered the electric field. Chen Xingze teleported three times in a row and appeared outside the town. The White Wolf King flew out from the crack in space, picked up the host, and ran wildly.
The killer team turned and gave chase without wasting a second.
The chase continued for a while, until they were far away from Orchid Town, Chen Xing suddenly stopped.
"The target has stopped moving!" Blind Hunter reminded loudly.
"Is he desperate?" the gardener guessed happily.
"The target is very cunning, be careful!" The Rhino Knight looked solemn and made a gesture to slow down and act cautiously.
The five people formed a formation of three in front and two in back, slowly approaching Chen Xing's position. With the blind hunter and the core drill around, they are not afraid of their prey escaping.
One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters...
Ahead, in the empty wasteland, a figure stood quietly.
"It seems that he already knows that he is doomed this time." The gardener smiled coldly.
As the distance approached, the Rhino Knight's frown gradually relaxed, and he began to feel that he had a chance to win.
But when it was close to about a hundred meters, something abnormal suddenly appeared!
A large ball of electric sparks exploded behind the target, and countless electric currents rushed around in the air.
The appearance of the mutation caused the five people to stop at the same time and watch.
The electric charge wanders around, outlining a huge shadow.
The phantom turned from virtual to real, and gradually became visible. It is very huge, like a giant land ship, and majestic.
And when they saw clearly what it was, they all took a breath.
Appearing behind the target is a giant insect.
To be more precise, it was an Abyss Ant Queen that was as big as a warship and covered in armor!
What's even more frightening is that the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations are like stormy waves crashing on the shore, impacting their spiritual realm again and again.
"It may still be too late to escape now."
The faint voice was like a giant hammer, hitting everyone's hearts heavily.
"Don't, don't be afraid..."
Rhino Knight bit his tongue and forced himself to calm down, "He was just bluffing..."
"A mutated creature that ignites spiritual fire is nothing to be afraid of."
"I'll say it again..." the faint voice sounded again, "it might still be too late to escape now."
His tone was calm, as if he was stating an objective fact that could not be argued.
"no way!"
The rhinoceros knight shouted loudly, and the rhinoceros suddenly lifted up, slamming its hooves on the ground, making a loud noise.
Dozens of space cracks opened behind him. In an instant, the roar of the beast shook the sky, and giant bears rushed out.
Several other people also came to their senses and summoned Yuling one after another.
When Chen Xing saw this, he snorted coldly, "Start the war!"
Huge space cracks slowly opened on both sides.
"Hala!"
No one was seen, but the sound of killing was loud.
Immediately afterwards, the queen ant waved her insect sickle, and with a scream that reached the sky, the ground began to shake. Sand and rocks flew, earth springs gushed out, and in an instant, countless soldier ants burst out of the ground.
A fierce battle began.
