"die!"

The howling wind and snow could not stop the roar from the army.

Deep in the Bailan Mountains, this large army composed of various border guards had already cleared a path in a mighty manner. Even though the beasts in the mountains were violent and cruel, they could not stop this army formed for the purpose of fighting and killing.

Compared with those inner disciples of Han Ying Sect, the purity of the army is actually much higher.

Their march forward continued steadily, until gradually things began to go wrong.

The beasts in the mountains are still beasts, and driving them away with open fire is probably enough. This was the earliest thought of the leading cavalry officers.

However, the beasts in Bailan Mountain were not only numerous in number, they were not afraid of open fire and pounced on them to fight for their lives, actually injuring some soldiers.

Therefore, the Hundred Cavalry Generals had to face up to the risks in the Bailan Snow Mountain, slow down their speed, and advance with strict precautions.

But at the end of the day, what are they trying to push forward?

The military order from above was just to patrol the border, so why did we raise such a large army?

The so-called division needs to be famous, not only for the world, but also for the army itself.

It wasn't until they moved towards the mountains that they encountered an unimaginable monster.

Giant wolf.

It was a wolf that no one had ever seen before. Its fur burned like embers, ferocious and deadly. Even in front of the army that formed a battle formation to kill it, the giant wolf was still extremely ferocious, killing dozens of people in a row.

His life was reduced to the ground and died under the bombardment of the battle formation.

At this time, some soldiers stationed near Bailan Mountain finally recalled that it seemed that Tianying City had seen such a monster not long ago.

In this way, it is a well-trained army after all. Compared with the chaos that Han Yingzong dealt with in Tianying City, the frontline guarding army under the chaos only suffered dozens of casualties, and they killed such a giant wolf, which can be said to be a judgment call.

.

However, if it was just such a strange beast like the West Wind Wolf King, it would not alert Tantai Ming to rush to the front army position immediately.

"Lord Lieutenant!"

"Lord Lieutenant!"

In the wind and snow, in the camp temporarily set up by the Hundred Cavalry Generals, every few steps there were soldiers holding long-handled torches, standing in a row of human-shaped light paths.

Even under such a heavy snowy sky with hundreds of miles of white fog and extremely low visibility, it was impossible to find the direction of the camp.

As the flying snow in the sky was swept away by a vacuum cannon, a clear space was opened, and Tantai Ming's figure jumped straight down, falling into the camp from mid-air without any delay.

The snow was falling again, and Tantai Ming walked into the camp while greeting the surrounding soldiers.

"Lord Lieutenant."

A general with a hundred cavalry came forward to greet him, cupping his hands and saying: "The former army entered the mountain at noon today. We lost forty-five people along the way, and there were also changes in the way, so I asked for a sick letter to you."

"Where is the damage and where are the enemy troops?"

Tantai Ming quickly entered the state and asked seriously.

"There are no enemy troops, and the wild beasts in Bailan Mountain are violent and not afraid of people. During the march, we did not take precautions and suffered losses."

The hundred cavalry generals looked serious and guilty: "Among them, there was another huge ferocious beast with great fighting power. The front line of the army was just able to kill it. Thirty-seven of the forty-five people were injured, all of which were caused by this ferocious beast."

, please come with me, Sir Lieutenant."

Following the Hundred Cavalry General, Tantai Ming stepped into the back of the camp, only to see a huge wolf corpse lying in the snow, with many soldiers still guarding it.

His pupils shrank for a moment.

"This was in Sky Eagle City not long ago..."

My father killed the border evil beast in Siyang, and then the evil beast was restrained and inspected by the Department of National Law and the Department of National War. So far, nothing strange has been found.

Another one appeared here. Although the model was much smaller, it was still the same monster.

What's so weird about Bailan Mountain?

"Exactly, Lord Lieutenant. After killing this beast, my subordinates ordered the advance army to slow down their march and maintain their formation. In a valley outside this camp, a strange change was discovered. As a precaution, they did not continue forward.

OK."

Bai Qijiang opened his hand and pointed to a terrain map that was not very accurate and had temporary annotations.

Tantai Ming looked at it and didn't say much. He just nodded and said:

"Take me to see it."

————————

In front of the snowy valley.

Tantai Ming's boots stepped on the slush and got slightly soaked.

But he, who always loved to be clean, had no time to be distracted at this moment. He only frowned and looked at the deep valley in front of him.

"Lord Lieutenant, it is precisely because of this that my subordinates stopped the advance of the front army."

The Baiqijiang on the side said, and Tantai Ming nodded: "Your decision is correct."

In the valley in front of them, it turned out to be like a huge beast's den, with dozens of wolf king-like giant beasts lying densely packed!

The wolf whose hair is burning like ashes, the bear whose teeth and pupils are smoking black.

Even the huge snow eagle with extremely long wingspan and white feathers on its sharp beak and breast were soaked in blood, all lying in the valley.

If Han Dongwen were here, he would probably be able to tell at a glance that all the giant beasts here are the shadow of beasts!

What's going on?

"Here...this valley is usually deserted?"

Tantai Ming raised his eyes and looked around.

Tianying City and West Asia are bounded by the Bailan Mountains. Except for the main road that Xingzhou and Jiang Ningyun used to go to the five cities, the remaining Bailan Mountains cannot be climbed out by humans.

Because of this, whether it is West Asia or Simeng, the actual national border is located along the foot of the mountain within its own territory. Although the theoretical national border is in the middle of the mountain range, it has no practical significance.

Bailan Mountain is like a natural barrier, temporarily blocking the road between the two countries.

"Sir, except for the highway connecting the two countries and some barely gentle mountain roads near the highway, there were no people in the past."

Tantai Ming took a deep breath and stared at the "Valley of Beasts" with more doubts in his heart.

"Wait for me here."

"Please also pay attention, Sir Lieutenant."

Tantai Ming jumped up and rushed into the valley in front of him.

Just as he thought, there was something abnormal here.

The giant beasts that are as tall as buildings all over the ground are not "lying" here, nor are they resting.

They were like specimens, motionless and with angry eyes wide open.

Tantai Ming clasped his hands behind his back and glanced around with a serious expression. As if he suddenly discovered something, he suddenly raised his hand and waved towards the ground in front of him. The wind pressure broke through the frozen soil and snow on the ground, revealing a flickering

Runes of pale light.

"church……"

Tantai Ming half-crouched down and carefully studied the runes that belonged to the power of the Holy Lord Church.

It is precisely because of these runes that these many ferocious beasts are trapped in place and unable to move.

Two possibilities immediately appeared in Tantai Ming's mind.

The Ecclesiastical Knights from West Asia came here, used this unique method to suppress these ferocious beasts and then continued to advance. Are they nearby now?

Or should I say...

These monsters are the "anti-theft locks" they left here to prevent possible people from moving forward. What did they find?

Tantai Ming took a deep breath and looked behind him in the direction of the camp.

He might be able to get rid of this group of monsters in the valley on his own, but it was hard to predict whether it would take time or energy.

Moreover, since the other party can trap the monsters with this mysterious power, they naturally have high-level combat forces that they need to guard against themselves.

In other words, if only the 400-man reconnaissance force was transferred behind him, would this valley alone be enough to drink a pot?

Tantai Ming looked at the runes and felt that he could break the seal with his own strength, so he turned his head and said seriously:
Chapter completed!
