Krypton gold longevity: a hundred years of life at the beginning

Chapter 133: First Arrival at Demon Suppression City, Demon Hunting Team
Town magic city.

This is the most peculiar city Zhang Hua has ever seen.

Wooden fences and low earthen walls. If he hadn't seen the rows of stone houses inside, he would have thought he was in some bandit village!

It is said that Demon Suppressing City is a city that is undefended against Dawu. Now it seems that it is indeed good. Even if he breaks the defense like this, he can directly crush it with his chariot.

Of course, there must be no masters to stop it in advance. Although it is undefended, it does not mean that others can come and go at will.

"Xiaohua, do you have anything to eat over there? Bring some to your brother-in-law."

Just as Zhang Hua was checking the Demon Suppressing City on the map, Li Ying's voice suddenly came from the front. The rapid march along the way was indeed quite tiring, and the little bit of grilled fish from before had long been digested.

"No, there's just some left over from yesterday, and you ate it before."

Although Zhang Hua responded like this, after he finished speaking, he turned around and confessed a few words to Xinlan, then turned over and got out of the chariot. At the same time, a small package appeared in his hand.

"Sister, here is the braised pork I bought in Pengcheng. You and your brother-in-law can eat it in the chariot before anyone finds it."

Li Ying, the man sitting on the carriage, was hungry, not to mention the other Shenwu guardsmen riding war horses.

From midnight to almost noon, no one has eaten except for two breaks on the way and feeding the war horses. If they are seen secretly eating braised pork in the back, although they dare not say anything with their mouths, they will inevitably feel it in their hearts. It will be unbalanced.

Therefore, in order to prevent others from feeling resentful, it is better to eat meat secretly.

Seeing Zhang Hua's cautious look, Cheng Xinchui smiled and said, "Okay, sister, I understand. Let your brother-in-law go in first to pacify his stomach. He will be able to cook when he gets to the city later."

"Well, we are about to enter the city. I will ask Xinlan to prepare the ingredients for lunch first." Seeing that the team in front was already moving, Zhang Hua said quickly.

"Well, hurry back to the car."

...

After entering the city, Zhang Hua saw clearly what the legendary Demon Suppressing City looked like.

As the saying goes, if you want to understand the real life of a place, just look at their basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

The first thing is to wear clothes. The people in this Demon City are so diverse in this regard. They wear all kinds of clothes. They seem to have a wider variety than those in the Divine Capital. If it weren’t for the fact that the flow of people here was a little less, he almost thought Back to the capital of God again.

However, after careful observation on the map, Zhang Hua discovered that those flashy people were basically from the Western Regions. Thinking of the small countries outside Zhenmo City, he understood a little bit.

As for the big warriors in the city, their clothes were much simpler than those of the small countries. Most of them wore warrior attire and some linen clothes, and only a few of them wore gorgeous silks and satins.

In terms of food, there is a wide variety but it is monotonous. You don’t even need to go to the restaurants here. You can tell from the items sold in the shops on the roadside. The food here is basically meat...

There were less chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, but mostly the meat of various wild beasts in the mountains. There were all kinds of meat, and there were even many varieties that Zhang Hua couldn't even name.

As for the cooking methods of these meats, they are also all kinds of strange. In addition to the common boiling and roasting methods in Dawu, there are also special cooking methods from the countries in the Western Regions that you can tell at a glance. Some of them will make people salivate at the slightest smell, but there are also some that make people salivate. It's off-putting to look at.

Regarding the buildings here, they are rough and neat at the same time. You can tell the style of the army at a glance. Except for a few restaurants and other buildings that are more ornate, the houses are generally very simple. It seems that in addition to being strong and spacious, they are not Not much thought was given to comfort.

As for the last line... Zhang Hua almost made his eyes pop out when he looked at the map.

The carriages and horses of those people from the Western Regions were so luxurious. They were not only decorated with gold and silver, but many of them were even inlaid with precious stones. Zhang Hua couldn't help but think of robbing them. These are all worth of wealth. , I really don’t know what these people from the Western Regions think.

The people in the Western Regions are extremely luxurious, but the people here in Dawu are extremely simple. There are not even a few horse-drawn carriages. They use carts to pull goods, and all travel is done on foot...

Is the gap so big because the Dawu people are poorer than the people from the Western Regions?

Well... there are some reasons for this, but not all.

Zhang Hua observed for a while. Generally speaking, the lifestyle here in Zhenmo City has a lot to do with its location in the Hengjue Mountains.

It is said that people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Apart from some of the residents in Zhenmo City who rely on trade to survive, most of them also beg for food from the Hengjue Mountains.

Hunting in the mountains all year round, they naturally don't need to wear too much, let alone buy too many items to enjoy life. If they have the spare money, they will definitely spend it on improving their strength, elixirs, weapons, armor, etc. The prices of things are not cheap.

As for the people from the Western Regions in the city, they should all be born into the powerful families of those small countries. They are free to live in fine clothes and have no business in production. The way of using BMW and fragrant cars may not be a high-profile way to show off their wealth, but more out of motivation. a habit…

...

Traveling all the way, Zhang Hua soon followed the army from north to south, passing through the entire Demon Suppression City and arriving at the garrison.

Nearing the south gate, Zhang Hua saw the heaviness and vicissitudes of life that a major frontier city should have.

On the towering city wall, when you turn the map, you can see the mottled scars from the outside. Some are left by swords, and some are repaired color differences. All traces indicate that this city has an unstable past...

In the deep doorway, the guards on both sides carefully checked the passers-by, more strictly than any city he had ever seen. There were also visible defensive equipment on the city top and soldiers holding spears...

"Pass the general's order to build a meal~"

"Pass to the General~"

When the order came, Zhang Hua also retracted his gaze towards the city wall. He was going to stay here for a long time anyway, and it would not be too late to look at it later. The most important thing now was to work.

It is said to be a camp, but because it is within the city, the workload is much less. There is no need to build many fortifications, just erecting some tents.

Moreover, the earth stove for cooking does not need to dig a hole like before to prevent smoke from coming out. It only needs to be a simple support to hoist the marching pot. This is the Demon Suppression City, so there is no need to take so many precautions.

Precisely because of this, it didn't take long for the camp to smell of meat. Looking at the meat provided by the demon-suppressing army in the pot, the Shenwu guards couldn't help but swallow their saliva as their stomachs were already empty. , have already thought about which piece of meat belongs to them...

at the same time.

Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu were brought to the Demon Suppressing Army's main tent by Li Shouxin. After Li Shouxin left, the two walked into the tent and met the coach here, Li Jiye, and heard the changed plan from him.

"What, go to the Demon Abyss!"

After hearing that their first stop was not the Western Kingdoms, but the Demon Abyss, both Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu exclaimed.

"Cough cough!!"

Seeing the reaction of the two people, Li Jiye was a little embarrassed and said: "Two generals, please don't get excited. I know your mission is the Western Region..."

"No, no, Marshal, you have misunderstood us."

Before Li Jiye could finish speaking, Cheng Jinshan quickly waved his hands and explained with excitement: "Go to the Demon Abyss... Commander, it's good to go to the Demon Abyss. Fighting against those small countries in the Western Region is not as exciting as fighting against the Demons.

When you wrote your letter, Marshal, Lao Cheng, I thought I was going to ask the Shenwu Guards to help defend the Demonic City. I didn’t expect to go to Mo Yuan, haha... Marshal, it’s settled, we Shenwu Guards will follow you. When will we leave for Moyuan? "

Seeing Cheng Jinshan's expression, Li Jiye was stunned for a while, and then smiled with relief.

Indeed, fighting with humans is not as enjoyable as fighting with aliens. Isn’t that the same for the generals under my command?
In this way, although it was just the first meeting, Li Jiye already had a certain recognition of Cheng Jinshan.

Before, he was worried that the generals coming from the capital of gods would be a little arrogant and unwilling to cooperate with them in going to the Demon Abyss, but now it seemed that he was overly worried.

In a good mood, Li Jiye also said with a slight smile: "General Cheng, you are so impatient to go to the Demon Abyss that you have never thought about what to do in the Western Region. You must know that taking the Western Region is the only way for your Majesty to leave it to you. It’s your mission!”

"It's true that the mission is to the Western Region, but isn't it because you, the commander-in-chief, are supporting it from the front?"

Cheng Jinshan looked like the sky was falling and you were holding it up, and said: "Anyway, according to the rules, as long as we are in Demon Suppression City, Old Cheng and I... No, it's time to change my name. Here, everything will be up to you, Commander-in-Chief." The military order, if your Majesty wants to question the crime, he will first question you, the commander-in-chief, and it will not be the general's turn.

By the way, Commander, why don’t you let General Pei lead the Right Guards to fight in the Western Regions? He should..."

"Go away, you old man Cheng~"

Pei Hu, who had originally heard that he was going to Moyuan and was enjoying himself, suddenly became angry when he suddenly heard that Cheng Jinshan was leaving him to go to Moyuan alone.

"Old man Cheng, you are so shameless. When you say this, can you please touch your conscience first? Not to mention that the coach asked me to give it to you this time. Even if you can come to the northwest, I owe it to Your Majesty. Recommended, are there any people who are as willing to burn bridges as you are?”

After accusing Cheng Jinshan, Pei Hu clasped his fists at Li Jiye and said: "Commander, before coming to Zhenmo City, His Majesty has appointed General Cheng as the commander of the Western Expedition. He is not suitable to support Moyuan. So, The last general will see, let General Cheng go to the Western Regions, as long as Moyuan has the last general's right Xiaowei."

No wonder Pei Hu was so excited. He was going to fight in the Demon Abyss. Before that, not every soldier within the Demon Suppressing Army had the opportunity to go there, let alone armies from other places.

As Cheng Jinshan said just now, he had received an urgent order to speed up to the Demon Suppressing City, and he thought he would help garrison the Demon Suppressing City like the previous county soldiers, but he didn't know that he was going to the Demon Abyss!
Although the Demon Abyss is more dangerous, that kind of racial war is what their generals yearn for most. If you go to the Demon Abyss to fight once, you won't be envied by the other generals of the Twelve Guards after you come back to your senses!

I participated in the race war!

He can brag about this bull until he dies.

Now this old man Cheng wants to destroy his own good deeds, and then he is the only one who is pretending to come to his senses. How can he get his wish?

...

Cheng Jinshan, who had been revolted, heard this and went to the Western Regions himself, while Pei Hu went to the Demon Abyss... How can this be done!
"No, this is not possible, Lao Pei, you already said that I am the coach of the Western Expedition, then should you listen to me and my orders..."

"Stop~"

Seeing that the argument between the two became more and more intense, Li Jiye quickly shouted to stop.

"You two generals don't have to fight anymore. They both go to the Demon Abyss."

Afraid of any conflicts between Cheng Jinshan and the others, Li Jiye quickly explained: "As for the Western Regions, the two generals don't have to worry. My plan is like this..."

After hearing Li Jiye start to explain, Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu stopped making trouble and listened quietly...

After a while, after listening to Li Jiye's words, Cheng Jinshan and the others understood the cause and effect of this matter.

It turns out that their coming to the northwest was planned by His Majesty and Marshal Li. Unexpectedly, the demonic chaos in the Western Region was the result of the deliberate indulgence of the Demon Suppressing Army, in order to allow them to better capture the Western Region.

What is even more unexpected is that there will be changes in the Demonic Abyss. Not only will this year's demonic wave arrive earlier and be larger in scale, but even demons from the dark world that have not appeared in 300 years will appear.

After hearing all this, Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu's expressions became solemn. They knew that going to the Demon Abyss to fight this time might be more dangerous than they imagined.

However, it is precisely because of these changes that there will be a chance for them to participate. Otherwise, the Demon Suppressing Army can handle it by itself, which round will they get them!
As a general, Cheng Jinshan will naturally not be afraid of fighting because the enemy is strong, but will inspire stronger fighting spirit because of the strong enemy.

So, with "blood on his head", Cheng Jinshan immediately stood up and patted his chest and said: "Commander, there is nothing to say. Since you believe in us, we Shenwu Guards are willing to rush to the front in this battle in the Demon Abyss."

"The same goes for our Right Xiaowei." Pei Hu said not to be outdone.

After saying that, Pei Hu glanced at Cheng Jinshan next to him... This old man, after all these years, still likes to shout slogans. If we hadn't known each other for many years, who would have known how cunning you are!

"Okay, okay, I really didn't expect the two of you to have such fighting spirit. With two generals here, I will be more confident in this battle."

As if Li Jiye didn't know what the two of them were thinking, he first expressed some excited words of praise, and then said with a solemn expression: "As for what is at the forefront, the two generals should not mention it anymore. The visitor is a guest, so how can it be said?" Let the guests take the lead.

Besides, the Demon-Suppressing Army and the Demons have been fighting each other all year round and have more experience. Reasonably and logically, it is appropriate for the Demon-Suppressing Army to be the vanguard.

However, I do have some difficulties here, and I hope the two generals can help me, I don’t know..."

Here comes the main dish!

Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu looked at each other and knew that Marshal Li was not someone to be fooled. Since they were asked to go to Moyuan for support, they couldn't just arrange trivial tasks.

After just a slight hesitation, Cheng Jinshan's face became more serious and he took a step forward and said: "If the commander has anything to do, just ask him. I will definitely do whatever the general can do. Even if he can't... just give me a military order." Even if the general fights for his life, he will never embarrass the Shenwu Guard."

"That's right." Pei Hu also said together, "I'd like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to obey. As a soldier, he will naturally not be afraid of sacrifice."

After savoring the meaning of the two people's words, Li Jiye waved his hand, somewhat dumbfounded:
"The two generals are serious. It's not what you think. I just want to borrow some experts from you. That's all.

Because a Dark Realm Demon Clan has appeared, I am worried that there are more of these guys in the Demon Abyss, so I have prepared a team composed entirely of experts to hunt down the big demons among the demons, especially the Dark Realm Demons. A family. "

That's what happened.

After hearing the reason, Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't just use their soldiers as cannon fodder. They had never dealt with Li Jiye before, so they were naturally a little defensive.

However, I don’t know what kind of strength is needed to enter a specialized hunting team. I have long heard that there are countless masters in the Demon Suppressing Army. Do they need to transfer people from the Shenwu Guard and the Youxiao Guard?

After thinking for a while, Cheng Jinshan asked:
"Marshal, I don't know how many people this team needs, and what kind of standards do we need to recruit masters?"

"There are two groups of demon hunting teams, one in front and one in the back. The front group is responsible for detecting the enemy. The strength does not need to be too high. What is important is the detection ability. The number is controlled within ten people.

As for the latter group, their main task is to hunt at high speeds. They number about three to five people, but their strength is at least second level. The stronger, the better. "

Speaking of this, Li Jiye looked at the two of them with deep meaning and said, "I know you must be thinking that the master of the Demon Suppression Army is Ruyun, why should I borrow someone from you again!

But to be honest, there are many experts in the Demon Suppression Army, but there are not as many truly top experts as you think.

Moreover, in addition to the need for someone to stay on guard in Demon Suppression City, the army also needs someone to command. There are only two second-level masters who can take action, so I asked the two generals for help. "

It turned out to be the case.

However, staying in the Demon City and commanding the army...

They have taken care of these two aspects, and they are actually able to find two second-level masters... This can also be said that there are not many masters!
The Demon Suppressing City is really full of experts.

After being shocked by the strength of the demon-suppressing army, Cheng Jinshan thought for a while and said: "Commander, only the last general among the Shenwu Guards is at the second level. The army can be commanded by the deputy general. The last general himself is willing to join this demon hunting team. .”

"The same is true for the final general."

Pei Hu said solemnly, "Although the last general has just broken through to the second level, it shouldn't be a big problem to kill a demon cub of the same level. It's also no problem for the deputy general in the army to command the right Xiaowei."

"Okay, in that case, I would like to thank you two for your help."

Li Jiye was happy and said: "With the four second-level realms, the candidates for the second team are ready. I don't know if there are people in the two armies who are good at investigation. Although there are a few in the demon-suppressing army, they are far from being composed." The first team is still a little behind.”

Good at investigating!

Cheng Jinshan and Pei Hu looked at each other and thought of that boy at the same time...

Zhang Hua!
