Evergreen Immortal - Chapter 257

“What?”

“Encountered a demon tide?”

Li Rui was a little surprised when he heard the news from the front line.

According to the military newspaper, the stations of Anning Guard and Yunzhou Guard were attacked by a tide of beasts a few days ago, and one guard was killed as a result.

There are many monsters in southern Xinjiang, and it is common to encounter a tide of monsters.

However, this time the Yu Kingdom went on an expedition, they had made preparations for this matter early. The army was equipped with gas guards who could observe the strange movements of monsters and beasts.

This kind of thing shouldn’t happen.

There were more than 20% casualties, which was the heaviest casualty since entering the Witch Kingdom.

This matter has attracted the attention of Governor Yuan.

Cao Wei and Lei Yong must be under great pressure now.

Comparing this, Jiang Linxian, who stayed in Anning Guard, avoided an unnecessary disaster. I heard that Cao Wei had lost a lot of connections in order to lead the army this time, and I don’t know what he thinks now.

A wave of monsters wiped out all his previous achievements.

Tan Hu was also quite surprised: “It’s so good, why did you encounter a demon tide?”

While Li Rui and Tan Hu were thinking about it, a young Hua Qingzong hurriedly came to the office of An Ningwei of the Department of Commerce and Industry.

“Master Li, Elder Jiang invites you.”

Li Rui looked at the familiar Huaqing Sect disciples outside the door and raised his brows slightly.

It’s really what you said.

No need to think.

Jiang Linxian must be looking for him because of the beast tide.

“good.”

Li Rui gave Tan Hu a few instructions, and then followed the Huaqing Sect disciples on horseback to gallop back to Anning Guard.

When he walked into the lobby of Jiangjun Mansion.

Guan Xinrong and Lu Jun were already seated. Li Rui bowed to Jiang Linxian, who was sitting at the top, and said, “Master Jiang, I’m late.”

Jiang Linxian waved his hand: “Sit down first.”

After Li Rui sat down, Jiang Linxian slowly spoke: “I must have heard about the demon tide.”

The three of them nodded in unison.

really.

Jiang Linxian summoned the three of them just because of the demon tide.

“The demonic tide has caused strange movements of the demonic beasts in Shiwanshan Mountain. According to emergency reports, the demonic beasts from the Witch Kingdom are very likely to climb over Shiwanshan Mountain and enter Yunzhou.”

Li Rui’s eyes narrowed.

The impact of this demon tide seemed to be greater than he imagined.

“Master Li, Master Guan, you two each lead a hundred troops, and you will immediately follow me to the border to suppress the demonic chaos in order to prevent the demonic beasts from causing trouble to our country.”

“yes!”

Li Rui and Guan Xinrong stood up together.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun sighed slightly in his heart.

Logically speaking, he was in charge of the defense and Li Rui was the Simao captain. He should be responsible for suppressing the demons and chaos, but Jiang Linxian chose Li Rui.

Why?

It’s not like Li Rui can fight and do things.

Even more appreciated by Jiang Linxian.

As for Guan Xinrong, he certainly didn’t want to leave Anning Guard to an outsider.

Normally, Jiang Linxian might consider Lu Jun’s mood, but now the matter was urgent. If he didn’t handle it well, Jiang Linxian himself might be punished. At that time, he wanted to select people he thought could do the job.

Lu Jun suddenly felt lonely.

‘Old. ’

Then he felt something was wrong. Considering his age, Li Rui could be his uncle.

‘Don’t underestimate yourself! ’

‘Since Mr. Jiang asked me to stay behind and do things safely and steadily, there will be no credit but hard work. ’

Think about Li Rui, didn’t he do everything well, and then he was favored by Jiang Linxian.

Not long after.

Two teams of one hundred people were assembled.

There are only a thousand people in the Anning Guard.

Cao Wei took away 700 people in one breath, and the current 200 people included almost all those who could participate in the war.

Most of the two hundred people were in high spirits.

It’s like taking a shot of chicken blood.

Many of these people have heard about the meritorious service of their brothers on the front line, and they are very upset about it. Now that they have finally got the opportunity, how can they not be excited?

Of course, there are also many timid people.

The Anning Guards are not border troops. Each one counts as one, and not even 10% of them have actually been on the battlefield.

Li Rui glanced at the young people behind him who had high morale.

My heart moved slightly.

‘Still too young. ’

They were there to suppress the demonic chaos and face the demonic beasts head-on. If they were not careful, they might feed the demonic beasts, otherwise they would earn military merit but lose their lives.

He doesn’t want to go.

But now that things have happened, and he is already the captain of the Anning Guard.

Just hiding is not a problem.

If you can hide, you can hide. If you can’t, of course you should accept it calmly.

Li Rui is very open-minded about this.

Of course, the main thing is that he is strong enough and has something to rely on.

Moreover, Jiang Linxian may appear to be a fifth-grade person to outsiders, but in fact, he has already broken through to the fourth-grade. Unless the Earth Immortal takes action, it is really not that easy for him to die.

Jiang Linxian glanced at everyone and shouted:

“Set off!”

Wubeicheng ushered in an army of a thousand men, many of whom were injured and had low morale.

After receiving the news, the city lord of Wubeicheng had arranged for the doctors in the city to send the wounded into the house one by one and start treatment.

Ning Zhongtian walked in the team and glanced at the young general beside him.

“Master Duan, your injury will need to heal for at least a month. I still have some healing medicine here, I think you will need it.”

Duan Yu’s face was pale, and there was a large blood hole on his right shoulder, which was still oozing blood. He was injured by the monster, but it would not heal so quickly.

“Thank you for your concern, Master Ning. I still have the medicine.”

Duan Yu declined.

Ning Zhongtian nodded, stopped asking, and glanced at the embarrassed army.

In this demon tide, the most serious casualties were the east-route army composed of Anning Guard and Yunzhou Guard.

Two to three hundred people died in one breath, almost 20%.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to morale. The army had no morale and was defeated really quickly.

In desperation.

Cao Wei and Lei Yong had no choice but to abandon the camp and choose to retreat to Wubeicheng for training.

In the current state, once the Mangu City army leaves the city, they will definitely be defeated.

Think back to that night.

Ning Zhongtian couldn’t help but shudder.

What came into view was an endless monster beast that almost overwhelmed the army.

That is to say, the camp’s defense is strong enough and there are two masters stationed there, otherwise more than two hundred people would die.

Even the well-informed Ning Zhongtian had to admit that compared with the demon tide in southern Xinjiang, the demon tide in Yu State was too childish.

It’s not even a creek, let alone a frenzy.

All in all, Mr. Xiao Duan was also unlucky. He was originally a grain transport officer, so he could still encounter this problem after staying for three days.

When he goes back, I’m afraid his minister’s father and general’s father-in-law will feel distressed for a long time.

Mr. Xiao Duan, who rarely talked much, stopped talking now.

Duan Yu walked into Wubeicheng silently.

The image of that night came to mind.

What a big deal!

He came to Anning Guard for the purpose of gold plating, which was the intention of his father and father-in-law, but his ambition did not stop there.

Gold plating is one’s duty, but if you can do something that surprises both the two eldest fathers, then that’s your skill.

So he went to Li Rui and Zhao Bo, who had already entered the monster’s belly, all to catch the feather-winged white-scale dragon.

The feather-winged white-scaled dragon has noble blood.

The Lord of the Dragon Court calls himself a real dragon, and if he gives it to the emperor as a tribute gift, he will definitely be rewarded.

But he never expected it.

The feather-winged white-scaled dragon had a great background and was actually the descendant of a demon lord.

Demon Lord.

That was a monster beast comparable to an earthly immortal.

The overlord of demons!

This demon tide was caused by the demon lord.

Fortunately, Zhao Bo blocked the knife for him, otherwise he would have been the fifth-rank official who died, and all the demon hunters he brought with him, who were hired with huge sums of money from the Witch Kingdom, would also have entered the monster’s belly.

‘miserable, miserable’

Duan Yu knew he was in big trouble.

The only good thing is that everyone who knew about it is dead, and the monster can’t speak, so there is no need to worry about leaking the news.

Otherwise, Cao Wei and Lei Yong will be the first to skin him.

‘Get out of this place of right and wrong quickly. ’

“Master Jiang, you are finally here.”

It was particularly lively in front of the checkpoint castle on the border between Yu and Wu.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

General Wang, who was guarding the gate, saw Jiang Linxian and trotted towards him.

He was a sixth-grade official, but he had no choice but to serve Jiang Linxian, his fifth-grade boss.

“Um.”

Jiang Linxian nodded.

He did not greet General Wang or get close to him, but got straight to the point: “Tell me, what’s going on with the monsters now?”

When General Wang saw this, his face became solemn: “I sent a scout to report that the monster has appeared ten miles outside the pass.”

Ten miles.

Hearing this number, Jiang Linxian and Li Rui both frowned.

The distance of ten miles is not far for mortals, and it does not take half an hour for monsters. In other words, the monsters have already arrived under their noses.

Jiang Linxian: “Is there any countermeasure?”

At this time, General Wang felt a little embarrassed: “Mr. Jiang, you also know that the checkpoint serves as an early warning. Shiwanshan Mountain is so big, and there are less than a hundred of us, we can’t stop it at all.”

In just a few words, he was picked out first.

Jiang Linxian had no intention of telling General Wang more, but turned to look at the two people behind him.

“What do you think?”

Guan Xinrong chose to remain silent.

As General Wang said, Shiwanshan is too big. Let alone one hundred people, even three hundred people can’t make any waves if they are thrown into it.

The imperial court is omnipotent because it is willing to spend money.

Want to fight big with small things?

It’s difficult for anyone to come.

Li Rui also shook his head: “Master Jiang, do your best.”

Jiang Linxian nodded. He was just asking, and he didn’t expect to be able to stop the monsters from all directions in Shiwan Mountain with three hundred people.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it, the key is that you must do it seriously.

Immediately.

He asked Li Rui and Guan Xinrong to each lead fifty soldiers and enter Shiwan Mountain to sweep away the monsters first.

Got his life.

Li Rui took Tan Hu and five others straight to the mountains and forests.

In the dark primeval forest, a group of people were chopping thorns with difficulty.

“Didn’t you say that the monster is coming? Even if I look for a long time, I can’t even see its shadow.”

Tan Hu lowered his voice and said.

They have been searching for an hour, and so far they have only seen writing beasts, but not a single demonic beast.

Li Rui: “Huzi, be patient.”

The number of monsters compared to beasts is just like the number of warriors compared to humans. There cannot be too many.

If placed in the vast Shiwanshan Mountains, the density would be even lower.

If monsters can be seen everywhere, it will be a headache not only for Li Rui, but also for Governor Yuan.

Li Rui asked five people to form a team.

There are ten teams in total.

Each team is separated by ten feet, so that efficiency is taken into account. If there is an emergency, he and Tan Hu can also have time to provide support.

Tan Hu: “Brother Li, I feel like this time the demon tide is getting more and more wrong.”

Li Rui looked at Tan Hu in surprise:

“Huzi, you’ve grown so much!”

Tan Hu scratched his head happily: “I think so too. Since I followed Brother Li, my brain has been getting better and better.”

“.”

Li Rui had to continue the previous topic and said: “I think so too.”

“Is that right?”

Seeing that his idea was recognized by Li Rui, Tan Hu was even more proud for a while. He hurriedly asked: “Brother Li, so you know what’s going on?”

Li Rui rolled his eyes:

“I’m not the God of Life and Death, how can I know everything?”

“Oh.”

Tan Hu nodded.

Li Rui stopped talking and carefully scanned the mountains and forests in front of him.

Of course, there is something strange about the monster tide.

Others don’t know, he chats with the Wu Kingdom delegation every day, so he naturally understands that such a large-scale monster tide is rare in the Wu Kingdom in ten years.

People are afraid of monsters, and monsters are also afraid of people.

The monsters are not very intelligent, that is the arrogant statement of humans. All things have spirits, but they just think in different ways.

But there is one thing that the world has in common, whether it is people or monsters, no one wants to die.

The monsters are full and have nothing to do, so they play monster tide every day?

There must be a reason behind it.

It’s just that there is too little information to know.

If the prediction is correct, such a large-scale monster tide should be driven by the monster master.

At this moment.

There was a commotion not far to the left, and there were soldiers’ exclamations.

“Something is happening!”

Tan Hu immediately became energetic and rushed into the forest like a wild bull.

Li Rui took a step and followed closely.

Soon.

The two saw five soldiers holding swords and guns and confronting a half-human-high white-haired ape with fire patterns on its eyebrows.

“Fire-browed white ape?”

Li Rui recognized the monster at a glance.

“Hey!”

Tan Hu stretched out his big hand and grabbed the head of the fire-browed white ape.

The domineering nature of the natural diamond appeared.

Although the fire-browed white ape was of the seventh grade like Tan Hu, it was suppressed to death.

At the same time.

A burst of chirping and hissing sounds were heard around.

Li Rui was like a hawk, and he jumped onto the branch with a roll. After just a few breaths, he saw seven or eight fire-browed white apes falling from the tree, and they all died.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers present were all in awe.

Lord Li is so domineering!

When Li Rui returned with his sword, the battle on Tan Hu’s side was also coming to an end.

At this time, Tan Hu heard Li Rui’s voice: “Tiger, keep it alive.”

Hearing this.

Although Tan Hu didn’t understand why Li Rui wanted to capture this monkey alive, he still held back his strength and grabbed the collar of the already exhausted fire-browed white ape and lifted it up.

At this time, other soldiers who heard the noise also surrounded him.

Li Rui looked at the squeaking fire-browed white ape and narrowed his eyes slightly.

‘You shameless humans, you dared to plot against the son of the demon lord, you all deserve to be killed! ‘

‘The demon lord will punish you. ‘

‘Kill, kill! ‘

Son of the demon lord?

Li Rui caught the key words.

Through just a few sentences, it can be inferred that someone attacked the son of the demon lord, angering the demon lord, so the demon tide was set off.

The demon lord did not choose any other place, but chose the camps of Anning Guard and Yunzhou Guard.

This is very intriguing.

There may be only one truth. The person who attacked the son of the demon lord was a soldier of the Yu State!
