Volume 4 Chapter 170 Death Swamp
The Dongshengmen Second Legion has been waiting somewhere between the Snowy Land and the Death Swamp for several months, and everything Bai Fei ordered has been fully prepared.
On this day, the reconnaissance battalion sent to the edge of the snowy area reported that the main force of Dongshengmen had walked out of the vast snowy area. This surprised Lao Yun. Bai Fei had just told him a few days ago that they had reached the iceberg. It had only been a few days. Why? Walked out of the snowy area in one fell swoop? You know, it took them nearly a month to walk from the edge of the southern snowy area to the iceberg!
Like everyone else, Lao Yun also had blind confidence in their No. 1, so he stopped thinking about it and immediately led the guard company south. He was going to meet No. 1 and his friends whom he had not seen for more than ten years.
The first batch of Dongshengmen sects who were teleported to the edge of the northern snowy area through the teleportation array seemed like divine soldiers descending from the sky. The reconnaissance battalion of the Second Army Corps waiting nearby was dumbfounded. Fortunately, several people in the reconnaissance battalion were at Shenglong Mountain. After waiting for a while, Ren Wei, Wang Xiaohong, Xiao Hu and others were all among the first batch of teleporters, so there was no misunderstanding.
After discussing with Ren Wei and others, Bai Fei asked everyone in the Dongshengmen army to bring a gold brick. As for the energy stones, which were small in size and light in weight, they all landed on the Jianjian special forces team.
"Lao Ren, A Hai, Lao Ding, Lao Zhou..."
Lao Yun arrived before all the troops from Dongsheng Gate arrived. When he saw his friends whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, he was so excited that he couldn't express his excitement.
"Where's No. 1?" After shaking hands, Lao Yun asked softly in Ren Wei's ear.
"He wants to control the teleportation at the end, just wait, it should be soon."
"Teleport?" Lao Yun was stunned.
Ren Wei smiled and explained to him softly, which made the latter feel excited.
…
…
A few days later, the main force of Dongshengmen and the 20,000 troops of the Second Army met.
"Mr. Yun, what's the situation ahead?"
In a large tent, Bai Fei asked Lao Yun about the situation in the Death Swamp.
"I sent an entire regiment as the vanguard, which was already a thousand miles deep into the swamp, but..." Lao Yun sighed, and continued: "The vanguard encountered some trouble. There, there was an endless swamp. , it should be a real death swamp, and above the swamp, the swamp gas is filled with poisonous gas. The vanguard has lost nearly a thousand people not only because of the danger in the swamp, but also because of these poisonous gases. I dare not let it go again. If they continue to try, they will have to wait for you to arrive before discussing."
"Are the people who were poisoned still alive?"
"Yes, but it doesn't look like it will last long."
"Go and take a look first before talking."
…
…
The Jianjian Logistics Rescue Team began to engage in busy work. Together with the Dongshengmen Medical Team, they studied and discussed the toxins contained in biogas day and night.
With their efforts, they finally saved several people who were poisoned, and they also developed a highly targeted detoxification pill. In this matter, Wang Xiaohong and Shu Ya took the greatest credit, which impressed the Dongshengmen medical team.
The next step is to go to nearby towns to purchase the corresponding medicinal materials.
A few days later, the Dongshengmen army received an antidote pill, and tens of thousands of troops marched into the Death Swamp.
…
…
After understanding the dangers of the Death Swamp, Bai Fei asked them to arrange for people to purchase hundreds of boats and countless wooden boards. He wanted to build a bright avenue on the Death Swamp.
The special forces at the tip of the sword are dispatched again.
The marsh gas above the swamp was so thick that it was almost impossible to see even one's fingers. The special operations personnel were okay. They had taken flat peaches, life fruit, and detoxifying pills. The methane gas no longer posed a threat to them. However, the soldiers who were behind them in charge of tugging the boats and passing the planks were not so lucky. The methane gas attack Although they would not be poisoned again, they still felt a little dizzy. In less than a day, hundreds of people fell into the swamp of unknown depth.
There is no way around this!
…
…
"Why are you here? Go back quickly!"
Bai Fei, who was walking at the front of the team, saw Meiko coming and was shocked. In the eyes of him and everyone else, Meiko was just a weak woman.
"I...I want to help you!" Meiko kept walking towards Bai Fei.
"Nonsense!" Bai Fei said angrily.
Meiko gritted her teeth and did not dare to say anything more.
Suddenly, her consciousness fell into a trance, her feet staggered, and she fell into the swamp on one side.
"Meiko!" Wang Xiaohong exclaimed.
Bai Fei's eyesight and quick hands threw out the rope in his hand, caught Meiko who was barely touching the mud, and pulled her back with a strong hand.
"Are you okay?" Bai Fei hugged Meiko and asked softly.
Meiko turned pale with fright, and she didn't know what she was feeling.
"You continue to explore forward, I will come back as soon as I go, be careful!" With that said, Bai Fei half hugged Meiko and ran towards the back.
"Brother Bai, you saved my life again. If it weren't for you, I... I would be dead." A slight blush appeared on Meiko's pale face, and she was still frightened when she thought of what just happened.
"Obey, don't go anywhere. I'll come back to pick you up after the bridge is built."
"Brother Bai, you...be careful!"
Meiko knew that she couldn't fight through thorns and thorns like them, and she didn't want to make Bai Fei angry again. Although his expression was gentle, she knew that he must be blaming her for causing trouble out of nothing.
…
…
In one day, the road was not opened very far. When the sky darkened, it was not suitable to continue.
In this way, it took several days for everyone to complete the feat of building a bridge over the Death Swamp. After counting the number of people, it turns out that thousands of lives have been lost in the past few days!
Under the command of all the generals, the army crossed the bridge in an orderly manner. Due to proper organization, the losses were relatively small.
The army left the place filled with swamp gas to repair on the opposite side of the Death Swamp. Looking back at the Death Swamp they had just walked through, everyone felt horrified.
And this is not the end.
The reconnaissance team of the Second Army Corps replenished its numbers and started exploring the path again.
Five days later, the front reported that the reconnaissance group had lost nearly half of its personnel. Even so, they still did not find a relatively safe road.
Different from the previous death swamp, what appeared in front of Bai Fei was a muddy flat land with almost no water, and therefore less buoyancy. Even if the boat and plank behind it were retracted, it would not be possible to do as before. Besides, without enough antidote pills, it would be impossible to recover those boats and planks.
Bai Fei thought for a long time, he didn't want to let anyone lose their lives in vain.
…
…
Shu Ya and Zheng Shuanglan have become clay figures, and they are using their feet to explore a safe path for the Dongshengmen army step by step.
On them, respectively
Two ropes are tied up. One end of one rope is in the hands of Bai Fei and Xiaolin respectively. One end of the other rope is in the hands of Xiao Hei, Xiao Hu, Zheng Qi and Zheng Shitou respectively. The remaining knife tip The special operations personnel followed Bai Fei and others, splitting up on both sides, placing small flags along the way.
Within the flag is the safe path explored by the two women ahead. Outside the flag is the unknown danger.
Even within the flag, the sticky mud was up to everyone's knees.
The reason why Shu Ya and Zheng Shuanglan were chosen to be the heroes exploring the path is because they are light and have a relatively low risk factor. However, in order to improve the safety factor for the army to pass, they must put their feet firmly on the ground before letting go. When they stepped on it, their entire bodies were swallowed up by the mud. If it weren't for the protection provided by their comrades in the rear, they would have sunk into the mud long ago. Once this happens, they have to change their route, so the process of exploring the path proceeds extremely slowly.
Originally, Meiko proposed herself and wanted to play the role of frontline charge, but she was still rejected by Bai Fei. Meiko had no choice but to follow other special operations team members to help plant the flags. Bai Fei just turned a blind eye and followed her.
…
…
For twenty days, the two heroines relied on their two legs to open up a broad road for the Dongshengmen army.
When passing through this muddy ground, Shu Ya and Zheng Shuanglan both fell to the ground, exhausted both physically and mentally. What they heard in their ears was the singing that resounded through the sky.
That was the Dongshengmen army singing a hymn about them!
"...They are snow lotuses coming down from the snow-capped mountains! They bring us light and hope! They are angels from the sky who have fallen into the mortal world! They warm our hearts and make our lives more brilliant! The snow lotus that is unstained in the mud! The angel whose smile can make a city fall! Accept our devout prayers and blessings, take your patron saint and leave your footprints in the world..."
…
…
The morale of the army doubled, and the reconnaissance team of the Second Army was dispatched again. This time, they explored the exit of the Death Swamp with zero casualties. Of course, this was also the reason why there was no too dangerous place ahead.
The moment they walked out of the Death Swamp, the cheers from the Dongshengmen army started one after another.
The Dongshengmen army began to march eastward.
As early as three months ago, the Fourth Army of Dongshengmen had joined the Sixth Army. Lao Jin, Lao Gu, and Lao Zhang followed Bai Fei's instructions. The army was divided into three routes and marched east, southeast, and south. Taking advantage of Xichuan Fort and North At a time when the Lifu and Qinpingzong were having a great fight in the central part of the country, Dongshengmen needed to secure its gate. One of the armies was stationed at the junction of the western part of Xichuan Fort and the northern part of Death Swamp.
This vast land in the northwest corner of the Yanyan Empire, which Bai Fei identified early on, has endless desert to the west, dangerous death swamps to the south, and rolling mountains to the north as a natural barrier. A few road cards can resist the attack of millions of Taisheng Empire troops. If the defense measures of Dongshengmen are put in place, the base camp of Dongshengmen will be monolithic, making it difficult for anyone to invade easily.
The Dongshengmen army rested in Hongguang City for three days.
This Hongguang City is a large city with Dongsheng Gate guarding the south and rejecting the east.
Three days later, the Dongshengmen army marched northwest, and in less than half a month, they arrived at Chongyi City, the administrative center of Dongshengmen.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Next, it is necessary to carefully plan the future development direction of Dongshengmen. From that day on, Bai Fei didn't bother to rest and discussed with eleven important people for seven days and nights.
