Chapter 281 The Holy Maiden of Vulcan Sect
"Puff..."
Three city guards were shot through their throats in a row, and blood splattered in their mouths fell to the ground. After trembling for a few seconds, they lost their lives and lay there motionlessly.
"Damn the deer demon." Xu Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, take my bow."
The two personal guards immediately carried a large bow and cast pure iron. The veteran Xu Ying suddenly pulled the bow and arrow apart, putting a special giant arrow about one meter long on the bow, and shot it out in a flash. In the jungle in the distance, a deer demon fell to the ground. The arrow shot through her heart and nailed it to the rock behind her.
"The old general is good at archery." Lin Muyu couldn't help cheering.
Even Wei Qiu couldn't help but feel excited and said, "The old general's archery skills are as good as a god, which is admirable."
Xu Ying smiled and said, "The Major General is a mistake. Xu Ying has no great prospects in his life. He has only practiced good arm strength and this iron bow, so he has a wish to defend the border for the empire."
Wei Qiu also took out the Demon-Devouring Bow and "swoosh" several consecutive arrows, shooting all the snake people climbing on the edge of the city. He only shot the eyes and neck without scales, and his archery skills were also extraordinary.
Xu Ying opened his eyes wide and looked at Wei Qiu with admiration: "Ha, I didn't expect that there were such masters of bowing skills in the Imperial Guard. It really made me admire him."
However, Lin Muyu's eyes remained in the dense army of demon clans under the city, saying, "Are they just attacking like this?"
"yes."
Tang Zhen said: "They used the snake man as a shield, but the real main force of killing is the deer demon. Those hateful deer demons are very accurate. Half of the soldiers we died in battle are killed by bows and arrows."
"Is there no way we can do it?"
"Yes, go out of the city to fight." Tang Zhen smiled bitterly, pointed his hand into the distance, and said, "Major General, look at that valley. When General Yuwen Xie was in charge of the troops, he ordered the army to go out of the city to fight. He was besieged by more than 150,000 demon clan troops in that valley. Poor our 70,000 troops were all destroyed outside the pass."
Outside the city, the army of snake people was still attacking fiercely. Many snake people used an iron hook claw to penetrate the hook claws on their hands, embedded them with hook claws on the outer wall of the demon-sanctuary, which had been disrepaired and dead, and climbed up step by step, so that the walls of the pass now seemed to be climbing countless crawlers, attacking the city densely.
Wei Qiu's scalp was numb when he saw it and whispered: "Region, if this continues, I'm afraid this Demon Suppression Pass will not last for a few days."
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded and said with concern: "Let's go, go back to the camp, send more people to defend the city, and you must not lose it."
"Yes, Major General."
...
When they returned to the central army's tent, everyone sat frown by the sand table, Lin Muyu was silent, playing with the exquisite gold ornaments on the hilt of the Dragon Spirit Sword.
Tang Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Major General, so passive will only make our wounded soldiers more and more, and our morale will become more and more depressed. Major General can have a solution."
"Not yet." Lin Muyu shook her head, her eyes fell on Xu Ying, and said, "Old General Xu has dealt with the demon clan, so he should know the weaknesses of the demon clan."
Xu Ying pondered and said, "Last time, the 300,000 demon clan army invaded the land of Zhongtu, the Shenhou Zeng Yifan used a trick to introduce the demon clan army into the open terrain, and then cut the 300,000 imperial heavy cavalry into pieces. However... we don't have so many heavy cavalry now, so this method simply doesn't work."
Wei Qiu looked at Lin Muyu and asked, "Old General Xu has already said, "Control, what are you thinking about."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "I'm thinking that the demon clan has suffered a lot. They are trying so hard to get what they want from us. If they want to conquer Lanyan City, they will not be enough with this little force."
A ten thousand-man captain of the Tianchong Legion gritted his teeth: "These demons are not humans at all. No matter what they want, as imperial soldiers, the only thing we need to do is to kill them all."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "The truth is true, but thanks to Yuwen Xie, we no longer have such power to kill all the army of more than 100,000 demon clans in front of us."
"What do the major general have?" Xu Ying asked.
Lin Muyu gently pressed the table, stood up and said, "Tomorrow, use fire to attack, create a line of fire under the city wall, and force their half-fox people to come out. I want to have a direct conversation with their leader."
"What,."
That day, the captain of the army who rushed to the army was stunned: "Major General, you want to talk to the people of the demon clan. Are you not afraid that others will give you a charge of collusion with enemies and treason?"
Lin Muyu smiled: "Let him, I can't control it."
...
That night, ten thousand guards entered the jungle behind and cut down dead trees and collected black beech oil. The black beech oil was produced from the black beech tree. It was ignited when it encountered fire. It was a natural fire attack material. Although there was not much, it was enough to cause fire.
The cold wind at night blew on the demon-suppressing gate, which was particularly cold.
A bright moon hung high in the air, and the snake army finally retreated like a tide, but replaced by a group of lizard men, with about 10,000 people. The brown eyes were shining golden under the moonlight. Xinzi spitted out "silhouettes", one hand with a shield and the other hand with a shovel, and quickly arrived at the city. He waved the shovel to the bottom of the city wall, and was actually digging dredging.
"Damn it."
Xu Ying stroked his white beard and sneered: "Is this group of lizard people... want to dig our corners?"
Lin Muyu used the moonlight to see the appearance of the lizard man. The lizard head looked very terrifying and scary, but with such a head, he said: "The lizard man does not have such wisdom. I guess the half-fox man is commanding this battle."
"Major General, what should we do?" Xu Ying asked.
"How deep is the foundation of the Demon-Suppressing Pass?"
“About 20 meters.”
"That's good, let them dig and fill it with a rolling stone tomorrow."
"yes."
It was cold at night, Lin Muyu wrapped her cloak tightly and looked over from afar. A "Great Wall" was established in the western border of the empire, traveling between steep mountains like a long dragon. This is probably the biggest reason why the demon clan could not advance eastward. The demon gate is located in the flattest terrain of the Great Wall, blocking the demon clan's invasion.
"You guys go back, I'll continue patrolling for a while." Lin Muyu said.
"Yes, Major General."
Xu Ying, Tang Zhen, Wei Qiu and others went back to the camp one after another. Lin Muyu carried the Dragon Spirit Sword and walked forward along the city gate. After walking for a few miles, he arrived on the mountain and looked west. There was a clear light and the endless jungle was like an ocean raising these demons. In fact, in Lin Muyu's view, these demons were more like orcs, neither human nor beast, and it was pitiful, but what did these monsters want to do now.
He looked down at the distance between the wall and the ground, about 30 meters. Lin Muyu pondered, took a deep breath and looked at the guards around him, and the guards also looked at him.
"Major General, you want to go west."
"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded: "Stay here and wait for me to come back, don't act rashly."
"yes."
He jumped into the darkness, and a faint golden light burst out in the air. The gourd vine quickly lingers on the city, weakening the impact Lin Muyu was exposed, but it was still a bit scary when he jumped down at nearly 30 meters. He rolled into the weed with a "pop", causing his knees to hurt. He whimpered and stood up, put the Dragon Spirit Sword back into the sheath, stepped into the jungle, and disappeared into the sight of a group of guards.
...
Not long after, the camp of the demon clan was ahead, but there were few lights in their camp, because snake people, lizard people, and bear people were afraid of fire, but half fox people and deer demons were not born afraid of flames. Lin Muyu walked carefully and avoided the camp of a group of snake people. The sound of snake people kept coming from his ears. The fierce attack during the day also produced many wounded soldiers. He was receiving healing at this time, and the way to healing was some herbs and ancient witchcraft. I really didn't understand it.
The demon clan camps are scattered in the jungle, just like their lifestyle.
Lin Muyu walked nearly five miles and finally came a dim fire in the jungle ahead. After approaching, he found that there were tents here, and tents made of gray cloth were spread throughout the jungle.
"rustle……"
A loud voice came not far away, and a black shadow was slowly moving in the jungle. Lin Muyu couldn't help but hold the long sword nervously and followed him through exploring all the way.
Just as he was about to approach, he suddenly jumped up, opened his palm and twisted the power of the martial soul. A series of gourd vines rose from the ground, and in a blink of an eye, the black shadow wrapped around him. Lin Muyu flew away, opened his hand to cover the other party's mouth, and unsheathed the sword. The sword blade lingering with flames directly pressed on the other party's neck, and whispered: "Don't shout, otherwise you will be killed."
However, under the fire of the Dragon Spirit Sword, Lin Muyu saw that the person in front of him was a girl with a charming appearance, with a pair of fox ears on his head, and a furry tail swaying behind him. She looked at Lin Muyu with horror and struggled hard, but she could not struggle with the tough gourd vine.
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the half-fox man would have a woman, but then he thought about how she could reproduce without a woman, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh at herself.
"If you don't make a sound, I'll let go, otherwise I'll kill you." He said coldly: "If you agree, nod."
The girl from the fox tribe nodded quickly, Lin Muyu let go of her hand and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl of the fox tribe opened her eyes wide and said in blurry words: "I...I am the maid of the saint..."
"Holy Maiden."
"Well, the saint of the Endless Forest Fire God Sect."
Lin Muyu was a little confused and said, "Tell me why the demon clan suddenly attacked the human empire for decades."
A hint of panic flashed through the girl's eyes, and she shook her head and said, "I...I can't say it, otherwise I'd betray the Saint."
"Say or not."
Lin Muyu's sword blade pressed against her snow-white neck.
The girl closed her eyes, tears flowed down, her tail shaking behind her, her ears trembled, and she cried and said, "You kill me, but unfortunately, Carrot can no longer serve the saint..."
