The wind stopped, the snow stopped, and the glacier cliffs were bottomless.
"簌猌."
As the beautiful figure in red robes flew down, several clusters of snow on the edge of the cliff fell towards the darkness under the cliff.
Seeing Li Qingyan's figure disappear into the darkness, blood flowed in Xu Yuan's eyes, and he followed her figure with curiosity towards the bottom of the glacier cliff canyon.
From what the breast-wrapped princess said, there seemed to be marks left by the Northern Feng army at the bottom of the canyon.
The eternal darkness and extremely cold climate have caused thick ice layers thousands of feet deep to form in the extremely dark place.
Therefore, glacial canyons as deep as a hundred meters deep are not uncommon in this boundless ice field.
Some wild giant beasts hidden deep in the ground can form many rift valleys on this glacier once they turn over and break through the ground.
However, the rift in front of us is obviously man-made.
It was dozens of feet wide and hundreds of feet deep. It was a long crack with regular and smooth cuts, just like the sword marks made by a hundred-meter giant sword.
The transformed body of a strange ghost and his new spiritual vision allowed Xu Yuan to observe many things that a strong soul condensing person could not see.
This rift has heavy traces of magic, and there are even some source energy fluctuations that have not dissipated.
The phantom of the divine soldiers condensed in the military formation.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan's eyes followed Li Qingyan's figure to the bottom of the glacier rift.
The moment he saw the scene at the bottom of the rift valley, he frowned slightly unconsciously.
corpse
The bottom of this rift valley is full of corpses!
At the bottom of the glacier rift valley are the corpses of countless barbarians, with broken limbs and arms, layer upon layer. The blue ice freezes the despair in the eyes of these barbarian women and children forever.
massacre
Looking at the scene below, Xu Yuan subconsciously looked around.
Next to the glacier rift valley is a flat snow surface. All traces of the past battles have been covered up by the snow, but Xu Yuan can still imagine what happened here more than a month ago.
Amid the cries of countless barbarian women and children, the Beifeng army wearing white armor slaughtered them in order, and the massacre was carried out in an orderly manner.
After the killing, the tens of thousands of corpses were pushed directly down the rift valley and rolled down.
"Kid, the dynasty is at war with the barbarians behind your back?"
Luo Xiran suddenly asked, looking flatly at the corpse below: "And it seems that the barbarians are about to be exterminated."
Xu Yuan did not hide anything and explained casually:
"You have also seen the appearance of this extremely dark place. Living in this inhospitable place, the barbarians will definitely want to go south, but we, Great Yan, will definitely not let them go south. War is inevitable."
"inevitable?"
Luo Xiran glanced at Xu Yuan, already having a general judgment of the situation, and said:
"It seems that the power struggle within your Dayan Dynasty is quite serious?"
"If there was no internal strife, then the Barbarian King would not dare to make such a huge gamble."
For smart people, Xu Yuan knew that there was no point in hiding it, so he smiled leisurely: "But it's a pity that the Barbarian King lost the bet this time."
Saying,
Xu Yuan pointed to the bottom of the rift valley with indifferent eyes:
"And since he loses, he has to hand over all the chips he brought to the poker table."
Luo Xiran looked silently at the sea of corpses below, her eyes suddenly becoming a little complicated:
"Is the bargaining chip the genocide?"
When Xu Yuan saw her expression, his eyes were strange and he asked with a smile:
"Hey, Xiranyou has no sympathy for these foreign women and children, right?"
"A heart of compassion?"
Luo Xiran smiled sweetly, and when she looked back, there was a faint look in her eyes:
“Kid, I’ve seen more dead people than you’ve ever seen alive.
"I was just thinking that if our human race had lost the bet ten thousand years ago, our fate would have been the same as this barbarian race."
Saying,
Luo Xiran breathed out gently and suddenly reminded:
"There are at least nearly 100,000 corpses here. If you don't deal with them but place them together, aren't you afraid that they will form ghost mist here? The ghosts are, in a sense, more terrifying than the white ghosts."
"This is not the territory of Great Yan."
Before Xu Yuan could answer, a voice came from under the rift.
It's Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan jumped back to the three of them, looked at Luo Xiran, and said calmly:
"If the mass graves here can really form ghost fog, it will be difficult to deal with them with the current national strength of the barbarians."
"Although low-level ghosts are not intelligent, they need to devour living beings. As long as they create a few more ghost mists and compete with the remaining barbarians to occupy the living space, the North will be worry-free for hundreds of years."
Xu Yuan also chuckled and answered:
"The Black Land is the home of the barbarians. What we need to do is to shatter the backbone of their race at once and completely destroy their war potential."
"."
Luo Xiran glanced at the kid in slight surprise, as if she didn't expect to hear such words from the other person's mouth, but then her soft voice brought out a warning smile:
"Although your plan to destroy the family is good, it is also easy to play with fire and burn yourself."
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes were indifferent and he said:
"Senior, I don't need to worry about this. We, the Great Yan Dynasty, have our own considerations."
If the ghosts really replace the barbarians, thrive in this extremely dark land, and eventually turn the entire extremely dark land into a land of ice ghosts, this threat will indeed be far greater than that of the barbarians.
But things have priorities. Now the Great Yan court needs a northern border that can be stable for hundreds of years.
The emperor's critical illness instantly worsened the internal conflicts in the Dayan Dynasty to the point where they could no longer be transferred to the outside world.
"Oh, this is an overstep as an old antique like me."
Luo Xiran was very relaxed and said with a smile: "Your Highness, have you found anything during this trip? Judging from the time of death of these corpses, we should be catching up soon?"
"The secret pattern below is one month old, and the content is very simple."
As he spoke, Li Qingyan raised his phoenix eyes to look northwest, and said in a faint voice:
"Seven hundred miles from here is the holy city of the barbarians. Seeing this, all the tribes of believers will break up their camps and assemble on their own."
The eternal night hangs over the glacier.
Less than a day after the four people walked in the air, a figure suddenly appeared on the frozen rift valley.
The figure was burly and tall, and his cold blue eyes stared quietly at the corpses of his compatriots below.
In the few days after escaping from the underground palace, Chi Kuang had already visited the residences of several large tribes of the Holy Clan.
But without exception,
They are all gone.
When his family went south, the women and children who saw him off in a noisy manner all became one with the tribal garrison.
Their bones were either cruelly piled into mountains by humans, or randomly thrown into pits, or dismembered and cast into Jingguan.
Just like the mass grave before us.
Seeing the despair in the eyes of the tribesmen under the rift valley that was forever frozen by the ice, Chi Kuang's eyes had always been calm, so calm that his eyes were withered.
Because here, it is very close to the Holy City.
In other words,
The Great Flame Army God has already discovered the Holy City.
In other words,
The Holy City has fallen.
In other words,
The hundreds of thousands of people who had just escaped from the bitter cold and entered life in the Holy City had been slaughtered by those human races.
The wind and snow are falling, and the ice is lonely.
Looking up towards the direction of the Holy City, Chi Kuang stood quietly, like a dead sculpture.
suddenly,
without any words,
The burly figure standing beside the rift valley disappeared, just as abruptly as when he came.
After the figure disappeared for a few breaths, the glacier shattered as if struck by a powerful force of heaven and earth. The eternally hard thousand-foot glacier instantly shattered and collapsed like tofu, completely burying the barbarian corpses below.
at the same time,
On the sky shrouded in darkness, a faint blue stream of light appeared like a shooting star heading northwest.
Temporary single update
The northern border will end tomorrow and the day after tomorrow
