Chapter 175: Heavy Armored Captain with Mo Dao
The drizzle is like smoke, and the breeze is like a dream.
At the foot of the towering mountains, thousands of people are working in the rain. The sound of chiseling and hammering at the cliffs and the shouts of tamping the foundations shatter the sweet dreams of this world.
This official road, which can accommodate twelve horses riding in parallel, has been built for more than fifty miles. At this rate, it can be completed by the beginning of winter this year.
The reason why it was so fast was not only due to the presence of the legendary master craftsman Zhaozhou, but also because each of the builders was extremely powerful.
The 1,000 senior craftsmen were only responsible for excavating the stones, and the remaining 2,000 captain-level soldiers were responsible for paving and widening the roadbed, compacting the soil, and then paving it with stones. The process was simple and the speed was extremely fast, and of course the food consumption was also extremely fast.
A dozen miles ahead of the road construction team, there was a military camp. Every two days, the camp would move and sweep an area of a hundred miles to ensure safety.
At this moment, Zhang Yang was here, not because he came here specifically to check the progress, but because he was on his way here. Although he had been thinking about practicing the Qingyun Sword Technique wholeheartedly in the past few days, he didn't know why he felt that waiting passively like this was not a solution. He needed to find out the situation of the red-skinned monster in the north. Now the opponent's level 4 royal city had been built for nearly two months. Even if the opponent was unlikely to come to cause trouble, he had to make sure of anything.
To this end, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and transferred the jobs of six Qingyun swordsmen, and brought with him four heavy-armored Modao captains, and 1,000 ordinary craftsmen newly recruited from the refugees, and caught up with them.
"My lord, if it is really as you said, I suggest you take 500 soldiers with you and be cautious in everything."
Zhang Liang introduced Zhang Yang in the heavily defended camp, saying that this guy was also a coward. Six heavily armored Modao captains and three Feiyun archer guards took turns to protect him day and night. He arranged a temporary camp like a fortress. That was not enough, he also moved 10 giant siege crossbows from the royal city, disguised them, and placed them in locations where the enemy might appear.
So cautious that it makes people speechless.
On the contrary, old man Zhaozhou didn't care at all. He looked like an old craftsman, working with other craftsmen in wind and rain every day. At first glance, you couldn't even tell where the old man was.
"What's the use of 500 captain-level soldiers? Those three Feiyun Archer Guards are more effective." Zhang Yang said this deliberately, and Zhang Liang's face changed immediately. He was purely scared. How insecure he must be.
"Well, lord, I have a plan." Zhang Liang's brain worked quickly. "If lord, you just want to test the other party, then it means that the other party must also have the idea of testing you, but it has not yet been implemented, or it is in the process of being implemented. In this case, why don't we set an ambush to scare it? I will arrange the specific ambush. After all, we still have ten giant siege crossbows. As long as the other party is not determined to die together, we can achieve our goal."
Zhang Yang looked at this extremely insecure guy and thought for a while. "Okay, let's do as you say, but I tell you, you'd better disguise yourself when the war starts. Look how natural Lao Zhao is. It may not be safe to always hide behind the heavily armored Mo Dao captain."
"Uh, lord, do you mean that the enemy's strength is above the extraordinary?"
Zhang Liang's face was already pale. It was hard to imagine that this was a founding emperor with great achievements. Well, but considering his growth history since childhood, it could be explained. As a patient with severe persecution mania, it was no wonder that he dared not step out of the palace in his entire life.
"You actually know about Beyond Extraordinary?"
Zhang Yang was very curious.
"I've heard a little bit about it, my lord. I think I should go back to the royal city and give remote commands. Or I can wait for Lei Ming to finish training the 500 Feiyun Archer Guards. It's too cold outside. Ouch, my stomach hurts."
Zhang Yang watched this guy's performance in silence. Is this really my great-great-grandson? This must be fake.
But before he could say anything, a horn sounded suddenly from more than twenty miles away.
"Enemy attack, form a formation! Form a formation! Protect the emperor - uh, protect the lord!"
Zhang Liang shouted immediately, grabbing a long sword and hiding behind Zhang Yang, "Get together! This grandson."
"The enemy coming here is not above the extraordinary."
“Ah, so that’s it!”
Zhang Liang instantly gained courage. After a cough, the reserved, melancholy and wise emperor returned.
"My lord, I think the enemy came too suddenly and too coincidentally. Maybe the enemy is trying to divert trouble."
After calming down, Zhang Liang's brain reacted quickly and he thought of this possibility first.
"Yes, that guy seems to be a master of the art of hiding. Get ready for a fight."
Zhang Yang also nodded, not surprised at all.
As they were talking, more than a hundred soldiers were retreating rapidly more than 20 miles away, and in the distance, the roar of demons could be vaguely heard. In a blink of an eye, a black mass of demons rushed over the hill and pounced on them like a swarm of ants.
It seems that it can't be hidden anymore.
The Abyss Demons would not allow an alien race to emerge in their hinterland, especially this alien race was so extravagant as to build a road in the deep mountains and old forests. What was they trying to do? Were they trying to build a royal city? Or had they already built it successfully? It was foreseeable that in a few months at most, the tide-like demon army would come back and kill everything in the bud.
However, the red-skinned monster who started it all can develop happily.
"This demon army must be annihilated! At this point, delaying for one more day is a good thing. Fortunately, the red-skinned monster doesn't know that I have a level 6 royal city, otherwise things wouldn't be so simple."
"Zhang Liang, you stay here and command, I'll go and cut off their retreat!"
Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Time! There are still 8 months left before Wu Lei can successfully train the Rock Heavy Steps, two months left before Wu Ya buys a mount and returns, and 10 months left before Lei Ming successfully trains the Flying Cloud Arrow Guards."
As long as these three special troops are formed and supported by a level 6 royal city, he really won't be afraid of anything.
"My lord, please take care of yourself. I'll take care of everything!"
Zhang Liang's behavior was extremely tragic, and Zhang Yang was so angry that he wanted to slap him. What? Are you hoping that I will die so that you can inherit my property? Well, this grandson is really smart.
"No, there are at least 10,000 demon troops! And they are regular troops, with more than 2,000 extraordinary demons, and they are led by a demon dragon."
Zhang Yang was about to go around but suddenly stopped because the demon army on the opposite side suddenly began to line up. It didn't seem like they came without a purpose, they came well prepared.
"Send an order, have Zhaozhou gather the craftsmen, use the infantry as cover, and retreat towards the royal city."
Zhang Yang's scalp was tingling. This was not fun anymore. As long as the Demon Dragon was not blind, he would be able to see what was going on here. The secret of the royal city could no longer be kept. It seemed that a good hand would explode at any time.
"You red-skinned bastard, don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you to death!"
Zhang Yang secretly swore in his heart, this is too bad.
"Chelation!"
The demon army on the opposite side began to advance slowly in formation. The speed was very slow, but the pressure was very strong. Two thousand extraordinary demons were in the lead, most of them were heavily armored demons, and some were two-headed demons.
"Shield formation!"
"Pull up the barricades!"
"Ignite! " "Giant siege crossbow, lock on target, ready to fire!"
On Zhang Yang's side, Zhang Liang had already hidden in the special vehicle that he had commissioned Zhaozhou to build for him, ready to retreat at any time. However, thanks to the excellent camp he had arranged, they were not without the ability to fight, not to mention that they still had ten heavily armored Mo Dao captains.
And now the ones in charge of the command are these ten heavily armored and Modao captains.
They stood in the camp like ten war gods, holding huge three-meter-long Mo Daos, with sharp blades and a strong murderous aura looming.
Anyone who gets close can smell the odor of corpses and blood.
So Zhang Yang suddenly stopped worrying. He held his breath and came to one side of the camp with six Qingyun swordsmen, ready to encircle and annihilate the enemy at any time. He still didn't want to let a single demon go, and wanted to kill the hidden dragon of the demon clan even more.
When the demon army entered a distance of one thousand meters, the battle broke out instantly. Ten hidden giant siege crossbows aimed at the ten most conspicuous two-headed demons. After a series of thunderous explosions, ten fine steel crossbows as thick as wine jars flew out at several times the speed of sound, killing the ten two-headed demons in an instant. Some of the crossbows even had residual force and plowed hundreds of meters, killing hundreds more demons.
Such power surprised both the enemy and us. Then Zhang Yang realized that this giant siege crossbow was made by the demon clan and was specially smuggled in by that Jindan stage demon cultivator.
"Chelation!"
The demon army immediately launched a charge, as black as a flood, and attacked fiercely after more than ten seconds. There were also 500 captain-level archers in the camp, but the golden eagle armor-piercing arrows they shot at this moment were so weak that they could not even penetrate the skin of the heavily armored demons.
This is not on the same level at all.
“Stand back!”
It was at this moment that ten heavily-armored Modao captains rushed out of the camp dragging their huge Modaos. They were so small compared to the charging tide of demons on the opposite side.
But the next second, everyone realized they were wrong.
Because an incomparably heavy and solid murderous aura exploded like a thunderstorm, some of the heavily armored demons who rushed to the front, although also extraordinary, were still frightened by the murderous aura and their steps became slightly disordered.
But this is just the beginning.
The sky suddenly turned dark, not because of the dark clouds overhead, but because the blade of the Mo Dao was too sharp !
"Swish!"
All you can see is lightning spinning and harvesting. The bodies and heads of the demons are like harvested corn, rolling all over the ground! It's so shocking! Only ten heavily armored Mo Dao lieutenants were able to stop the charge of two thousand heavily armored demons, and then crush them, press them down, and rub them on the ground!
Who knows how Lei Ming trained such a domineering and extraordinary army?
Anyway, Zhang Yang was convinced at this moment.
Everyone was convinced.
