"drive!"
On a wide official road to the west of Shadowmoon Valley, four people and four riders were galloping along at an extremely fast speed.
The closer you get to Anyang Town, the more desolate the scenery becomes, and even bones can be seen everywhere on the roadside!
"Jiang Yuan, are they all humans killed by demons? How terrifying!"
Hamster Pudding looked at the white bones scattered randomly on both sides of the road, a look of fear appeared on his face, and the hand held by Jiang Yuan tightened unconsciously.
"It should be the townspeople who escaped from Anyang Town and were killed by the demons on the way."
Jiang Yuan took one look at the miserable conditions on both sides of the road and suddenly felt a little unbearable. He turned away and looked at Hamster Pudding and said.
"Jiang Yuan, we will reach Anyang Town in less than ten minutes."
Qin Ding Cang Sheng opened the big map, searched for the location of Anyang Town, clapped his horse forward, and said to Jiang Yuan who was holding hands with Hamster Pudding.
"Jiang Yuan, I have adapted to this, you, you can let me go."
Seeing the aspirant coming, Hamster Pudding felt a little embarrassed after all, and said something to Jiang Yuan with a red face.
"Brother Cangsheng, let's speed up and try to enter Anyang Town as soon as possible."
Jiang Yuan nodded, let go of the hand holding Hamster Pudding, then looked at Qiding Cangsheng and said.
"good!"
Winning Cangsheng nodded and patted Yunma's butt hard. Yunma felt pain and hissed, and his speed suddenly increased, leaving Jiang Yuan and Hamster Pudding behind in a whoosh.
About five or six minutes later, Jiang Yuan and his party finally arrived at their destination—Anyang Town!
Looking at the ruins of Anyang Town in front of him, Jiang Yuan could imagine how brutal the war had been here before. He took a deep breath, jumped off the back of the dragon-bearded tiger, and then casually cast a "soul sacrifice", and the dragon-bearded tiger disappeared. .
The other three people also dismounted, took out the horse tags, and touched the horse tags with their fingers. The three cloud horses shrank in size at the same time, flew into the backpacks of Qiding Cangsheng, Hamster Pudding, and Ding Ye and disappeared.
After experiencing the invasion of the demons, the whole town of Anyang Town was almost deserted. The soldiers guarding the city gate saw three men and one woman walking towards this direction from a long distance away. They immediately raised their weapons and pointed them at them, shouting loudly: " Stop! Who are you?"
"We were entrusted by Lord Song of Ping'an City to help Anyang Town resist the invasion of demons."
Jiang Yuan walked out of the four people, came to the speaking soldier, and said politely.
"It's empty talk. What evidence do you have to prove that you are reinforcements sent by Lord Song and not spies of the demon clan?"
The soldiers guarding the city were very cautious and looked at Jiang Yuan and others with vigilance, without any intention of letting them go.
"Where is your guard captain Mao Chengan? Let him come out."
Jiang Yuan remembered the garrison captain mentioned when Song Shichang gave him the token before leaving, and immediately said to the soldiers guarding the city.
"How can Master Mao be met by you just as soon as you say so? What if you are spies sent by the demons and try to assassinate Master Mao?"
From the mouths of the soldiers guarding the city, Jiang Yuan could tell that their garrison captain seemed to be very popular among the soldiers.
"Here! Look at this!"
Seeing that the other party still didn't believe his identity, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to take out the token that Song Shichang gave him, waved it in the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city, and said.
"What! City Lord's order!"
The soldiers guarding the city were shocked when they saw the token in Jiang Yuan's hand. Then they knelt down with a "pop" and shouted loudly: "Greetings to the adults!"
Seeing the city lord's order, it was as if the city lord was personally present. The two soldiers guarding the city finally gave up their suspicion of Jiang Yuan and others. Not only did they get out of the way, but they also personally welcomed Jiang Yuan and others into the city.
"This thing is actually the city lord's order!"
Jiang Yuan looked at the token in his hand in surprise. He didn't expect Song Shichang to trust him so much that he handed over the City Lord's Order, which symbolizes the highest power of Ping'an City, to him!
Soon, the defenders led Jiang Yuan and others to find the garrison captain Mao Chengan who was patrolling the town.
"Sir Mao, this gentleman was sent by the city lord, and he has the city lord's order in his hand."
After the city guard soldier finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yuan beside him and signaled to Mao Chengan.
"Master Mao, this is the token given to me by City Lord Song, please take a look at it!"
Jiang Yuan handed the token he had been holding in his hand to the bearded, burly middle-aged man in front of him.
"I will finally pay my respects to some adults!"
After Mao Chengan took the token and carefully identified it, he immediately knelt down and bowed his head to Jiang Yuan and others and clasped his fists. Anyone who holds the city lord's order is as if the city lord is here in person, so Mao Chengan must salute according to the rules.
"Master Mao, please get up quickly!"
Jiang Yuan quickly helped Mao Chengan up and signaled him not to be so polite.
"Sir Mao, we are new here and are not familiar with the situation in Anyang Town. Could you please tell us what the situation in Anyang Town is like now?"
In order to find out the current situation in Anyang Town as soon as possible, Jiang Yuan didn't bother to be polite to the other party and went straight to the topic.
"Okay! Let's talk while walking!"
As a result, Jiang Yuan and his party followed Mao Chengan while inspecting the city defense while listening to the other party's introduction to the battle situation in Anyang Town.
"The latest situation is this. The demons have occupied the Anyang Mountain in the north and the Annan Mountain in the south. They are condescending and have formed a pincer attack on us. Just the day before yesterday, we just repelled a new round of attack by the demons. , and lost dozens of brothers!"
After Mao Chengan finished speaking, he thought of his brothers and sisters who died in the war, and his eyes turned red.
"How many troops do the demons have in total now? How many soldiers are there in Anyang Town who are capable of fighting?"
Although Jiang Yuan has never participated in a war since he was a child, he still understands the saying in "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" that "know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Therefore, the first question is about the comparison of the strength of the two sides.
"According to the information provided by the spies sent, the total number of demons in Annan Mountain and Anbei Mountain is about 2,000, and we have less than 500 soldiers who can still fight. If the city lord doesn't send people to support, I estimate that When there is a round of demon attacks, Anyang Town will be lost!"
The armor on Mao Chengan's body has been dyed dark red by blood. This shows that they have experienced many bloody battles before!
"Two thousand people? In other words, there are only twenty demon centurions. Master Mao, have you ever seen most of the demon clan show up?"
Jiang Yuan had met with the demons in the cracks of the abyss before, and he knew the organization of the demons' army. The only thing that worried Jiang Yuan was that if the opponent had a metropolitan commander in charge, it would be difficult for him. After all, Jiang Yuan I have deeply felt the terror of the demon clan before!
"I've seen it! The one who is commanding the demon army this time is a commander named Guma."
"What? Is it him?"
After Mao Chengan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan's face instantly showed a shocked expression.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, have you ever seen their chief minister?"
Seeing the expression on Jiang Yuan's face, the president of the Qiuding Guild, Qiuding Cangsheng, immediately asked.
"Brother Cang Sheng, I have actually seen him, but at that time I didn't even have the courage to fight him, so I just ran away."
Jiang Yuan looked at the aspirant, smiled bitterly, and without caring about his own face, told the story of his previous embarrassing experience in the cracks of the abyss.
"Ah! Then this demon clan must be a very powerful BOSS. We shouldn't be able to defeat it, right?"
Jiang Yuan's strength was obvious to everyone else. When he heard that Jiang Yuan was no match for him, Hamster Pudding immediately said something sad.
"You can't say that. I was less than level 85 when I first met Guma. Now I'm level 91, and I've put together a mythical suit. It shouldn't be a big problem to kill him."
In front of Mao Chengan, Jiang Yuan didn't dare to say anything that would "improve others' ambition and destroy his own prestige", so he pretended to be relaxed and patted his chest and said to Hamster Pudding.
"Really? I didn't expect Jiang Daren to be so powerful. This is really great news for us, the people of Anyang Town!"
After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Mao Chengan was overjoyed. He took Jiang Yuan's hand and said excitedly.
"Master Mao, the war situation is urgent now. Please assign some tasks to us quickly!"
Jiang Yuan also wanted to end the main mission in Anyang Town as soon as possible, so he quickly said to Mao Chengan.
"Okay! Please come with me!"
As soon as Mao Chengan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan, Qunding Cangsheng, Hamster Pudding and Jiang Yuan's best friend Ding Ye all received system prompts.
"Ding! This triggers a new series of main missions, 'Guarding Anyang Town'. Do you accept it?"
Several people unanimously chose to accept it, and then all followed Mao Chengan's footsteps.
At the first stop, Mao Chengan took the four people to the east of Anyang Town. It was backed by the two mountains of Annan and Anbei, and the pressure was low. Therefore, Mao Chengan did not put many troops here for defense.
"The defensive pressure here is not very high, you only need to send one person to guard here!"
Mao Chengan turned around and said to Jiang Yuan and others.
Facing Mao Chengan's proposal, Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Sir Mao, leave the places with the least pressure to the soldiers defending the city. Please leave the places with the greatest pressure to the four of us!
Hearing this, Mao Chengan was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He held Jiang Yuan's hand and said movedly: "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to choose the most dangerous place. This kind of spirit moved me very much! But for the sake of the safety of several adults, It’s better for the last general to guard the most dangerous north gate, and a few adults to guard the southeast and west sides respectively!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was a little bit dumbfounded. Originally, what Jiang Yuan was thinking was that he brought a few of them with him this time to let them gain experience with him. If they were separated, how could he take them to level up together?
"Master Mao, please rest assured. With the four of us guarding the north gate, it will be difficult for the demons to invade even if they have thousands of troops!"
Jiang Yuan patted his chest and assured Mao Chengan, and expressed his willingness to issue a military order. Only in this way did he convince Mao Chengan.
"Sir, this is the North Gate. Once the demons attack, this will become the main battlefield. Please be careful, sir!"
After Mao Chengan brought Jiang Yuan and the others to the north gate, he was still a little worried and warned him again and again.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mao, if we really can't stand it anymore, we will definitely ask for your help!"
Jiang Yuan is also a person who knows the general situation. Several of them can be resurrected after death. If the North Gate is lost, the people of the entire Anyang Town will have no way to survive!
Seeing that Jiang Yuan had no intention of showing off, Mao Chengan felt relieved, nodded to them, and gave them a few more instructions before leaving.
In this way, Jiang Yuan, Qunding Cangsheng, Hamster Pudding and Ding Ye boarded the north gate tower and sat against the wall. It was already late and night covered the sky. The two mountains in front of Annan and Anbei were silent, and the entire Anyang Town The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Jiang Yuan looked at the quiet and empty wilderness in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart: "Maybe this is the calm before the storm!"
