As this huge explosion sounded, like a signal for activation, violent explosions sounded in various areas of the town.
"Boom boom..."
The violent explosion overturned the simple houses and ignited the main body of the wooden structure.
Many residents who had not arrived at the central square in time had their bodies torn apart by the explosion, and their wails echoed throughout the town.
Several low-level warlocks who had arrived at the small square in the center still had those striped decorations on their faces. They babbling and hissing, threw away the remote controls in their hands, and rushed towards Zheng Xiao and the several civil servants who had gathered.
"Jade broken!"
"Jade broken!"
In the blink of an eye, Xuantai, Yuanbao, Xuanming and others appeared in the small square in an instant. They each chose an opponent and blocked the low-level warlocks with every move.
In an instant, there were only dead bodies left in the small square.
All the residents who had arrived squatted on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, shivering.
Such scenes are similar underneath several vehicles.
In just one minute, most of Fukawa Town was reduced to ruins, and countless howls filled the world.
More than a dozen young middle- and low-level warlocks from the Ying tribe were instantly wiped out by Li Juzukong's middle- and high-level warlocks.
Wei Ling also landed in the small square and stood beside Zheng Xiao.
Zheng Xiao's face was ashen as he scanned the squatting residents, trying to find more resisters.
Wei Ling shook his head slightly. Such a traditional and inferior counterattack was useless in front of mid- to high-level warlocks.
Based on the mental state of the crowd, he quickly discovered three people who were quite different from the generally frightened and anxious mental bodies.
He threw the information to Xuan Ming, Nan Xing and Shang Lu.
Xuan Ming immediately pulled out an old man with gray hair from the crowd. Before Xuan Ming could search, a remote control fell from the old man's arms.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I already regret it, I won't press the controller!"
The old man was on the verge of collapse, wailing in a hoarse voice.
Nan Xing directly grabbed the half-grown boy and found a remote control from his arms.
The child was shaking into a ball, unable to cry, and wet his pants.
There was also a middle-aged woman with a calm face. The remote control was found by Phytolacca. She shook her head slightly, but looked at the squatting crowd apologetically:
"I'm sorry. It's a pity that they accidentally injured many honest people... You moved too slowly and didn't get here in time, so I didn't have time to press the remote control to kill more intruders."
However, her explanation did not win the favor of her compatriots. Instead, it aroused the anger of the residents around her. Several residents jumped up and punched and kicked her.
The woman's nose was bruised and her face was swollen instantly, and she spit out blood foam from her mouth, but her expression remained calm and smiling.
Zheng Xiao's face was expressionless, and he licked his lips at a returning sergeant.
The three sergeants directly pulled the old man, the young man, and the middle-aged woman to the outside of the crowd.
"Da da da……"
Intensive gunshots rang out, the three of them were beaten into a sieve, and blood slowly soaked the ground.
The smell of blood silenced the squatting crowd.
After a moment, Zheng Xiao turned his head and smiled at Wei Ling:
“Two civilians were killed, one weapon was severely damaged, five weapons were moderately damaged, and no sergeants were killed. This is smaller than normal battle damage.
Thank you, Brother Welling. If it had been a few seconds late, the loss would have been much greater. "
Wei Ling waved his hand, nodded with a smile, but gave Yuan Bao a thumbs up.
Yuan Bao grinned.
Welling contacted the other four vehicles, and after receiving a positive reply, he clasped his fists in farewell to Zheng Xiao and returned to the vehicle.
The remaining mess is not Welling's mission.
The four vehicles slowly headed eastward and continued moving forward.
After a while, four vehicles hovered over the hillside on the east side of Fukawa Town.
Wei Ling led several disciples and instantly appeared inside the wooden corridor of Songxi Temple. Outside was the distinctive Dry Landscape Square.
The slave sighed:
"Wow, Master, this place is so unique and beautiful!"
The ground is paved with fine sand and gravel to form concentric ripples, with very rhythmic lines on the periphery. Clear and majestic standing stones are used to simulate the Meru Mountain stones, placed in the center of the concentric ripples, supplemented by moss, lawn or other natural elements. elements, creating a unique aesthetic.
The most amazing thing is that lines are painted on the surface of the sand to represent the flow of water, emphasizing the clear momentum and rhythm of subject and object.
Wei Ling briefly explained the basic information of dry landscape to several disciples:
"The concentric ripples can be compared to rainwater splashing into a pond or fish emerging from the water. They look like white sand, green moss, and brown stones, but none of the three are pure colors. From the changes in the color of these items, Zen practitioners can find this thing and that thing. of mutual harmony.
The landscape stone is divided into nine hills to symbolize Mount Sumeru. The stone lantern is used to maintain the 'pure fire'. The so-called pure fire before the gods means using fire to purify all things.
Those low stones form a turtle island in the form of a turtle's head, feet, and tail, with the intention of satisfying people's various expectations.
As for those pagodas with unique shapes, they do not necessarily have Buddha relics inside. They mainly serve as a metaphor for holding a house, as well as to ward off disasters, ward off evil spirits, and protect peace.
The dry landscape of the Ying people was influenced by Bactrian ink painting and Zen culture. It was superimposed on many factors such as Bactrian politics, Zen Buddhism, landscape painting, and bonsai. It gradually developed and evolved into a garden form with considerable formal beauty. "
Xuan Ming flattered him a little:
"I see, Master knows better."
"Haha, go meet the eminent monk here and say hello, then we will continue eastward."
The wooden corridor turns a corner and is connected to a meditation platform on the side of the dry landscape square.
Kong Jian, a monk in blue robes and plain robes, sat cross-legged on a straw mat.
On both sides of the platform, eight disciples in gray and white monk robes and wearing conical round fences stood silently.
As Wei Ling and others walked in, Kong Jian opened his eyes, his bright eyes fell on Wei Ling, but there was a smile on his face:
"The donor has Buddha nature, and has a comprehensive understanding of the dry landscape that assists meditation."
Wei Ling clasped his fists with a smile and bowed slightly:
"Master Kongjian is ridiculous. It's just that when I was idle in the empire's information barrier and learned all kinds of information about the beliefs of the Ying people, I only had some fragmented common sense."
Kong Jian smiled and said nothing, looking at Xuan Ming, Nan Xing, Shang Lu and Ji Nu.
Mo Yao and Wei Ling did not follow because they were wearing "Ranger" weapons and could not get in and out of the vehicle.
Seeing those young and confident faces, showing everyone's magnanimity in their movements, Kong Jian's face became a little hesitant and complicated.
Immediately, Kong Jian looked at Yuan Bao, Yuan Bei, Xuantai, and Scrophulariaceae again, his expression even weirder.
After a while, Kong Jian lowered his head slightly, clasped his hands together, and sighed:
"As expected, he is worthy of being a monk from the Heavenly Kingdom. He behaves with magnanimity, inclusiveness, and is extraordinary... Amitabha!"
Wei Ling smiled and saluted:
"The master is also an expert with great wisdom. He is a top-level warlock himself. Among these disciples, the worst ones have the ability of mid-level warlocks. They can see the situation clearly, stop the war, and preserve the historical temple, which is extremely difficult. I admire you."
The old monk lowered his eyebrows and nodded:
"Old man's heart is naturally like a dry landscape."
Wei Ling sensed it slightly, and the spiritual power of Li Daji, Su Zi and those few people were as eye-catching as bright lights in the sea of consciousness, and he smiled faintly.
Wei Ling didn't say much, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the temple.
He knew that with those few worshippers, monk Kong Jian and his disciples could not and did not dare to make any trouble.
The purpose of Wei Ling's coming down was just to see with his own eyes the mental state of the old monk and his disciples, and to see if they had any unnecessary thoughts and mentality. Only by having a face-to-face insight could he rest assured.
But at least for now, Welling believed that the old monk really had no more resistance.
Before walking out of the temple gate, Wei Ling also noticed that there was a small room inside the gate selling amulets and other souvenirs. The shelves were filled with small cloth bags made of various brocades, which were colorful and beautiful.
This kind of amulet originating from the old era of Daxia has been given another noble name among the Ying people, Yushou.
Naturally, Yuan Bei and Jinu also saw those colorful and cute gadgets, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Songkei Shrine is guarded to bring luck and ward off misfortune.
Most of the various pouches have such words embroidered on them.
After walking out of Songxi Temple, several people stepped into the vehicle.
The guard's mind moved, and the vehicle continued to move eastward.
…
In the next few days, the initial calm was restored. Often there was not an enemy encountered throughout the whole day, and there were no populated villages or towns along the way.
Until the entire front line advanced to Atago Town, Hachiman City and Ryukoma City, the barren mountains stretching across the field of vision could be seen in the distance.
The green mountains are like black and white, extending from northwest to southeast to the endless ocean, leaving several larger islands in the ocean.
Due to the congestion of mountains and peaks in the north, there will be no enemy garrison. The length of the coalition front advancing eastward has shrunk to less than 100 kilometers.
The battle line has become thicker and tighter, and the distance between many medium-sized vehicles is no longer less than a thousand meters.
As the front slowly advanced, the green mountains in the distance suddenly "came alive".
Countless air defense formations protruded from the inside of the mountain and launched a fierce attack on the slowly approaching vehicle group.
In the blink of an eye, the heaven and earth shook, like thunder resounding throughout the world.
Fire lines filled the sky, and the small vehicles in the coalition's vehicle community had poor impact resistance and were obviously unable to withstand such a dense offensive. They immediately retreated behind and hid behind the medium-sized vehicles.
Most of the medium-sized vehicles of the Murong Alliance are imperial "Blue Bird"-class standard vehicles. They have been modified with various functions and focuses, and can temporarily withstand several waves of attacks.
Among the intensive artillery fire, there were also many magnetic storm shells, which exploded in the air and caused certain obstacles to the communications of the coalition forces.
Although the response of the coalition vehicle cluster was quite timely and there were no mistakes or omissions, many small vehicles were still destroyed, spinning and falling towards the mountains and hills below. Several explosions occurred here and there, pulling out trails in the mountains. Pillars of smoke.
Several medium-sized vehicles that were very far forward also suffered a certain degree of damage and hurriedly retreated to avoid it.
The "Champion", which was at high altitude, issued the command in time. All the vehicle groups retreated a few kilometers and temporarily stopped to avoid it. As the flagship and command center, the "Champion" itself was still suspended in the air.
"The opponent's attack array is set up inside the mountain, and the protection is strong. Ordinary artillery fire counterattacks are of little significance. Temporary evasion is reasonable!"
Wei Ling explained Murong's current response to his disciples.
"The defense information of this mountain range is recorded in the information given by the pre-war headquarters, but the intensity is not so high. It seems that the Dongri State's intelligence confidentiality work still has merit."
Shou Gong also provided additional information to everyone.
Li Clan's four vehicles have always been at the forefront, but they are located slightly to the south, so the attacks they received were not severe. Coupled with the precise control and avoidance of the garrison, the vehicles did not suffer any damage.
As a result, the four vehicles landed in the corresponding areas, paying special attention to the terrain and terrain, so that they could be in a state that was relatively difficult to be attacked.
Welling and other high-level warlocks all jumped out of the vehicle almost at the same time and stood in the air.
Looking up, all the vehicles on the entire front line have basically landed, and only the flagship "Champion" is still suspended in the air.
As a large vehicle of the Empire's "Kunpeng" class, it could ignore such artillery attacks at all.
A large number of high-level and top-level warlocks in the coalition forces are like powerful spirits, floating in the sky above the battle line, observing the enemy's defense line on the distant mountains.
For a time, there were hundreds of people floating in the air, which looked very intimidating.
This is the guarantee of high-end combat power.
As soon as Li Daji and several worshiping elders reached Wei Ling's side, he saw dozens of figures appearing in the sky above the mountain opposite.
Wei Ling looked solemn, and those dozens of figures were all high-level and top-level warlocks.
It seems that the high-end combat power of the Dongri Kingdom is also displayed on this line of defense.
Before the coalition forces could respond, dozens of figures suddenly appeared near the "champion".
Wei Ling, Li Daji, Su Zi and several other worshipers looked at each other and understood each other, and they all appeared near the "champion".
Similar to Welling and the others, there were also high-level and top-level warlocks from other wealthy families in the empire. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of high-level and top-level warlocks stood in the empty space near the Champion.
If these masters use high-level spells at the same time at this moment, it will inevitably lead to the same mistake as the Battle of Okamoto Castle, causing a large-scale siphon overflow of the energy of the source world.
In the "Champion", Murong Danggui resisted the urge to scold her mother and wipe her hands in cold sweat.
Immediately, the communication system of this large "Kunpeng" class vehicle, which was originally a temporary communication center, easily amplified his voice message:
"Excuse me, dear guests, are you the top surgeons from the major families in Luben City?"
