Michael's Wall, this wall has a history of five hundred years. When the Holy Kingdom was first established, there were still many natural disasters and monsters left over from the Wasteland era on the continent, so this wall was built. Protect the people within the territory.
But today, this old wall, which was originally just a piece of history, has suddenly been burdened with a heavy burden.
The news of the Dragon Kingdom's declaration of war can be concealed in other places for now, but as a border area, general mobilization has already been launched. When Liao Ji arrived here, he could see that even though it was already dark, a large area of lights on the wall was still shining. Darkness illuminates.
Groups of "Crusader" figures patrolled the wall extremely nervously, and many strategic materials were constantly being moved to the wall.
"Lord God?"
As soon as Liao Ji walked into the wall, a young man who was looking forward to it ran out from the queue of the Crusaders at the pass and came to greet Liao Ji.
"Are you...? Just call me Liao Ji."
"Commander of the Third Army of the Crusade, Clausi Perry, I would like to extend my most sincere respect to you! After hearing from Lady Maria that you rushed to the front line in person, our entire army was extremely excited and ready to obey the Lord's orders at any time. , be ready to sacrifice your life for the Holy Kingdom at any time!”
The young man in front of him had an excited face, and he could tell that he was another "Tamik" type.
The Holy Kingdom may not be as good as the Dragon Kingdom, but at least in terms of cohesion, the "priests" of the Black Cave are probably only a few cases. The vast majority of knights and crusaders are true believers.
Especially after yesterday's "miracle".
Therefore, even if they don't know Liao Ji at all and have never met Liao Ji, they are willing to give all their power and even their lives to Liao Ji and have no brainless trust in Liao Ji.
Each national structure has its own advantages and disadvantages. Liao Ji cannot say that this is a good one, but at least in the current situation, it saves him a lot of time.
"Lord Liao Ji, just over an hour before you arrived, we detected the appearance of a Dragon Kingdom army fifty kilometers away!"
"Army? So fast?"
“You’ll know when you come and look at the wall!”
Under the leadership of Clausi, Liao Ji and the others quickly climbed up the Wall of Michel without any need for Clausi to point. Liao Ji looked over and saw clusters of fires that were very conspicuous under the night in the distance.
"That is..."
"Yes, they are the vanguard army of the Dragon Kingdom, with about five thousand people."
"Even if it was the empress's personal decree, from gathering the troops to setting off for the expedition...it has only been a few hours, but it has already come from hundreds of miles away? Improbable, right?"
Liao Ji asked with a slight frown, and Clausi nodded and quickly gave Liao Ji his inference.
"Indeed, we were also shocked, so I deduce that it is very likely that this vanguard army used... the power of the emperor's "relics"! In this army, there is definitely a "relic user" with the ability to "teleport"! "
Is it a relic...?
This word appears frequently every time when it comes to places related to the Dragon Kingdom. Liao Ji recalled the equipment and props he once had. Indeed, there are not many people who can achieve this kind of transnational and ultra-long distance transmission, but Not nothing.
"Lord Liao Ji, I think there is a high probability that they are just the first wave. They will come here first to use the teleportation "relic" to establish coordinates. Then the Dragon Kingdom can use it as a base point. There is no need for an expedition at all, and there will be a continuous supply of energy. Send troops here, then...damn it! Is that empress really so impatient! Are you so anxious to destroy our Holy Kingdom? "
At the end of the sentence, Clausi hammered the wall with his fist in grief and anger.
"Then what are we waiting for! We must rush out and stop them!"
This is something that even Yin Lin can realize, and Clausi has naturally thought about it.
But he quickly shook his head and said aggrievedly: "We don't dare to take such a big risk and take the initiative... What's more, even if we really capture the relic, there are no "relic users" among us, so we won't do it at all. Used, there is no way to prevent the continuation of the transmission..."
"Comfort. Mr. Clausi, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The master can control all relics."
"Wha...what? Really!? Mr. Liao Ji can really..."
"Hmph, okay, Xiao Ke, leave the rest to us. After all, if you really want to count... that old antique, I'm afraid he can be called the father of all "relic users"! "
...
...
Michael's Wall is fifty miles away.
A vanguard army of five thousand people was stationed in the wilderness at night. Logically speaking, if such a lone army went deep into the enemy's country and was at the doorstep of the enemy's country, it should be heavily guarded and patrolled constantly.
But when Liao Ji and his party came out of the wall and came here in the dark, they almost entered the garrison before they found guards and sentries at the entrance.
And still...
Liao Ji looked at the very conspicuous...shackles on the necks of the sentry guards?
From the other party's hands and feet, you can also see the traces of being deeply cuffed, but now because he has to stand guard, they have been untied.
The tattered linen clothes are almost nothing in the cold wilderness, and you can't even see the shoes under your feet. When the cold wind blows, your body trembles, and you can't even hold the gun in your hand steadily.
That's not a firearm.
But a gun, a cold weapon.
The reason why is also very simple, because the other party's identity is... a slave.
On the way to Michel, Liao Ji roughly learned about the structure of Ha Long Kingdom from 86. If "relic envoy" is one of the words that appears frequently, then another one that is comparable to it is...
That's right, slave.
Originally, Liao Ji thought that feudalism was enough, but he didn't expect that the Dragon Kingdom was based on slavery, and the vast majority of slaves were...
"Why, don't you orcs...have a lot of hair? You can't bear the cold? Okay...stand guard for me, do you hear me? If you dare to be lazy, I, I will beat you to death !”
From a tent not far away, a real Dragon Kingdom soldier walked out. He was wearing velvet and thickened clothes, with a sophisticated firearm at his waist. Even in such a cold wilderness night, he even left the buttons on his collar. Untied and wide open, it can be seen from his shaky steps and the wine bottle in his hand that he drank a lot.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Soon, another drunken soldier came out of the tent. Drinking seemed to be no exception. He put his arms around his companion's neck and shouted to persuade:
"Okay... okay, ignore this guy. Just now, it was said that someone found a cat in the slave team. The cat people sneaked in and actually wanted to use Master Gu Qing's "relics" to escape. Now he is Caught them, they are cat people! Let's go... let's go and join in the fun and see how Master Gu Qing punishes... that cat slave... Haha! "
The two drunken soldiers came all the way to the commander's big tent and opened the curtain. There was a "party" atmosphere here. Many soldiers were drinking and eating meat, clapping their hands and making noises, looking at them with playful eyes. In the center of the big tent.
A large circular field was vacated there, with a wooden stake erected in the center, and tied to the wooden stake...
A young girl?
No, you can see from behind her messy brown hair, no matter how hard she tries to hide it, she can still see two protrusions, which are fluffy cat ears.
The lower part of the tail, which was originally intended to be hidden in the pants, was roughly pulled out. Like the cat ears on the top of the head, it was unable to move down.
Several whip marks could be seen on her body, leaving deep blood marks on her gray-white skin.
As for what caused all this.
Snapped!
The man in front of the wooden stake was also the general of the vanguard force. Gu Qing kicked Catwoman's slave on the wooden stake again in the belly. Catwoman suddenly felt pain and a look of pleading appeared on her face, but this seemed to make her more angry. It aroused Gu Qing's wanton rage.
"Why, do you know it hurts now? When you went to steal my "relic" just now, weren't you very brave? To be honest, I quite admire you for how dare you sneak into our army alone. Do you really want to escape the Dragon Kingdom? ah! ? "
The cat people are an endangered species in the Dragon Kingdom, and the women among them are even rarer among slaves. How can cannon fodder like the slave army be willing to let cat women become slaves.
Therefore, this catwoman sneaked in secretly. She probably got the news from somewhere and knew that this army could be teleported to the territory of the Holy Kingdom, so she risked her life and sneaked in, hoping to take the opportunity to sneak into the Holy Kingdom.
Unfortunately, she obviously failed. The reason for the failure was that after the catwoman successfully followed the army to the Holy Kingdom, she did not run away immediately. Instead, she wanted to steal the "relic" as well, but only then was discovered.
"Hmph, I don't understand. You don't think that if you steal the relic, you can use it yourself? Do you want to use the teleportation power of the relic to smuggle your companions over? Hahahaha!"
Gu Qing looked up to the sky and laughed, and he pinched Catwoman's face.
"Do you know why you orcs became slaves? It's because you filthy mudbloods don't have the ability to use "relics" at all. It's because you don't even have a "relic user" among your huge orcs. Not coming! how? Do you think you are very powerful and want to be the first orc to use "Relics" in five hundred years? "
"Hahahaha! You are so cute, so cute that I can't wait to taste what you are like. Cat people... Rare items like you are usually only enjoyed by the big shots in the imperial capital. This It’s ready, you can deliver it to your door yourself, then don’t blame us!”
Amid Gu Qing's lust-filled laughter, Catwoman on the stake kept shaking her head. She struggled wildly, with nothing but fear in her eyes, and tears kept pouring out.
"Help! Help...help me...anyone can come...I don't want..."
"Yes, bark, keep barking, I like to taste the prey that resists."
"What a pity. No matter how much you scream, no one will come to save you! Hahahaha!"
