This place is fun

Chapter 78 Fall
The small garrison was bustling with people.

Although the children of the noble families seemed to be chatting, they were actually keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions.

Everyone knew about Zhou Qinghe's arrival, and Su Daoshan's arrival attracted everyone's attention.

No one was surprised that Zhou Qinghe appeared here. After all, the Zhou family was only being controlled, not imprisoned. Moreover, war was something that everyone had to fight for, and as a noble family, the Zhou family naturally could not hide behind and enjoy a good life.

In fact, many Zhou family warriors were recruited from the two Bing camps that set out earlier. In order to atone for their crimes, this time, these Zhou family warriors were directly assigned to the formation-breaking soldiers. It was cruel, but very realistic.

Zhou Qinghe seems very low-key today.

The former high-spirited and dazzling young master of the Zhou family has disappeared, replaced by an ordinary young man with a gloomy face and head lowered standing aside.

Judging from his limping steps and the injuries on his face, he must have been severely beaten by Zhou Gaoyuan.

It seemed that Zhou Qinghe knew his situation, so he did not get close to the children of the noble families. This made the children of the noble families feel less embarrassed.

It's not that they have turned their backs on each other, but the family has repeatedly warned them to stay away from Zhou Qinghe. It's okay that Zhou Qinghe was implicated by the Zhou family earlier. But he wanted to put Su Daoshan on the spot in the county exam, which was purely self-righteous.

But now, Su Daoshan has become Han Gu’s direct disciple, and even a fool knows who he should give the smile to.

Even if it hasn't reached the point of flattery, one can't be so stupid as to offend the Su family for Zhou Qinghe, right?
Because of this, the children of aristocratic families dared not have anything to do with Zhou Qinghe.

Of course, they were young and inexperienced after all. They couldn't get along with the nerd they always ridiculed and mocked.

So the scene seemed a little weird for a moment.

Zhou Qinghe and Su Daoshan were on different sides, unrelated to each other. Even among the children of aristocratic families, there were no more than a dozen of them gathered together like before.

At most, three or two people would greet each other and chat for a few minutes. They kept a certain distance from each other. At first glance, it seemed that the children of the noble families in Yishan City were not very familiar with each other.

Su Daoshan's eyes swept over Zhou Qinghe and then looked away.

Zhou Qinghe never raised his head from beginning to end. He just stood there with his head down, looking at the ground, wondering what he was thinking.

"We have to find a chance to kill this guy." Su Daoshan stood in the queue with an upright face, thinking secretly, but saw Lin Yu walking towards him, and immediately bowed and said seriously: "Brother Lin."

"I don't deserve it," Lin Yu looked at Su Daoshan with a strange expression, "I'm younger than you, you can just call me Lin Yu. Besides, Brother Su Shi, you are now a top disciple of Han Gu."

"It's just an empty title." Su Daoshan said calmly, but a smile could not help but appear on his face. He seemed to want to be humble, but couldn't help but be a little proud.

This made Lin Yu feel relieved.

This guy is indeed the Su Daoshan that I know.

Perhaps because Lin Yu had taken the lead, Yue Shifeng and others who were not far away, although they did not come over, also bowed to Su Daoshan from a distance. Even the brothers Wang Mingzhe and Wang Minghui forced a smile on their faces.

After all, whether they admit it or not, Su Daoshan is now the best among the children of the aristocratic families in Yishan City.

Even the young city lord Zhu Xue'an cannot take this identity away.

In the field, Zhai Ling was talking to several city guards, while taking in everything that was happening around him.

Zhai Ling was originally a flag captain of a battalion under the Northern Regiment of the Fiery Army's vanguard, a sixth-rank warrior, and a second-class tiger lieutenant.

This time, the You Clan appeared in the West County of Xiazhou, and Xiazhou was the battle zone that the Northern Group of the Front Army was in charge of. Therefore, after receiving the order, the Northern Group immediately rushed out in full force. Some of them went directly to the front line of Wen'an City, and some went to Chongguang City.

Chongguang City is the capital of Xiazhou. The Northern Group will gather supplies and food here and reorganize the troops and militias coming from various cities.

At the same time, more than a dozen teams were sent to cities and strategic locations in all directions to serve as liaison points within the military and control the temporary militia forces below.

If the battle situation is unfavorable, these troops will also be needed to fill in.

Although Zhai Ling is not from an aristocratic family, he grew up in this system and naturally understands that if he wants to quickly control an army, the key lies in the local aristocratic families.

Zhai Ling had a good impression of Zhu Ziming, the lord of Yishan City. When he came here before, he did his best to satisfy his needs for people, food, and space. Not only did he present the military manual, but he also explained the current situation of Yishan City one by one.

The few city guards in front of Zhai Ling were the helpers that Zhu Ziming had specially assigned to Zhai Ling. They were very familiar with the situation in Yishan City.

"Is he Su Daoshan?" Zhai Ling asked calmly.

In the information provided by Zhu Ziming, this young man from a noble family named Su Daoshan occupies a very important position.

Especially the county examination that just ended in the past two days has changed the entire structure of Yishan City.

A city guard nodded.

"Okay, I got it." Zhai Ling waved his hand, "You go and help with the resettlement. Separate these children from noble families into the dormitories first." "Yes." Several city guards who had been incorporated into the T-camp took the order and left.

"This way!" Tang Moer gestured and said softly.

The only three remaining Fire Army soldiers quickly followed her, turned to the hillside on the right, and climbed up breathlessly.

Thick fog filled the air. The colorful fog was like paint spilled into water, stirring together, constantly moving and changing shapes. Looking at it for a few more times would make one feel dizzy.

The vision was completely blocked, and one could only see about ten meters away. Everyone in it seemed to be locked in a kaleidoscope world.

Three Fiery Army soldiers followed closely behind Tang Moer.

Suddenly, several crazy puppets with hideous faces, bulging blood vessels and pale skin and flesh pounced on him from the side.

Almost at the moment when the crazy puppet appeared, Tang Moer in front reacted. She swung the huge sword in her hand that was as big as a door panel. The sword light violently broke through the air, drawing a bright arc, and cut the three crazy puppets in front of her into six pieces.

The upper and lower bodies of the Crazy Puppet were separated, and blood that had turned black and red flew in the air. The organs that had already rotted and rotted fell to the ground like hail.

Even after being chopped into two pieces and falling to the ground, the remaining limbs of these crazy puppets were still struggling violently and unconsciously on the ground.

"We're in trouble. We've been discovered again!" After dealing with the remaining two crazy puppets, Tang Moer's face turned pale and he turned to look behind him.

The colorful mist behind him turned gray almost instantly, as if something was extending from the depths of the fog.

"Hurry!" Tang Moer grabbed an exhausted soldier of the Fiery Army and pulled him up the hill, saying, "There's a wormhole ahead. Run away. I'll stop it!"

Wormhole?!
The three Fiery Army soldiers' eyes lit up. Turning their heads, they saw a circular hole made of rotating white light threads in the colorful mist ahead. The light threads were spiral-shaped, and the hole was covered by a layer of light curtain.

On the screen of light, the scene changed. There were mountains, rivers, pavilions and buildings, which looked like a mirage.

"Sir!" The Fiery Army soldiers were about to say something in unison, but were interrupted by Tang Mo'er's stern voice: "What are you waiting for?!"

The three soldiers looked at each other, gritted their teeth and ran forward. They all knew that even if they fought to the death, they would only be a burden to Tang Moer. Under the hands of the terrifying You Clan warrior behind them, they could not even last a round.

This is outside Wen'an City in Xijun, Xiazhou.

The people present were all from the Eagle Guard of the Fiery Army.

Since the discovery of the mist, the Fiery Army responsible for the defense of Xiazhou has begun large-scale deployment. The Northern Front Army has already rushed to Chongguang City and Wen'an City. The other several Front Army regiments have also received different orders.

Some were responsible for taking over the defense of other areas, while others broke camp and set off to move closer to the war zone, ready to provide support at any time. In fact, few people knew that the fastest and first to arrive in Wen'an City was not the Northern Regiment, but the Front Army Eagle Guard.

The Eagle Guard is only a battalion-level combat unit, but it is directly under the command of the Front Army Headquarters. It is the most elite scout battalion in the army.

Twelve hours ago, the Eagle Guards of the Front Army arrived at Wen'an City. Eight hours ago, the first batch of Eagle Guard scouts began to enter the Mist area to gather intelligence.

As the saying goes, food and fodder come before troops move. Intelligence gathering naturally comes before food and fodder.

Originally, it was just a preliminary exploration of the periphery, which was not dangerous. However, after the agreed hour, none of the scouts who entered the mist returned. So, the Eagle Guard sent a second group of scouts to meet them, but again, there was no news.

By this time, Commander Tang Moer had already realized the seriousness of the situation. After reporting the situation and making a series of arrangements and instructions to prevent any unexpected events, she personally led thirty elite scouts into the mist...

Three Fire Army soldiers, covered in scars and blood, ran forward quickly, rushing towards the rotating wormhole.

After entering the mist, they followed the marks left by the scouts ahead and the traces along the way, and walked deep into the forest. Finally, in a valley full of traces of fierce fighting, they found the bodies of the two previous scouts.

There were a total of forty scouts, all fully armed, all with strength above the sixth rank. Among the two flag chiefs leading the team, there was also a fifth rank strongman. However, all of them were torn to pieces.

When Tang Moer and his scouts found them, hundreds of crazy puppets were having a feast in a mess of blood and flesh. The broken limbs were torn to pieces by their claws and fangs, and blood and meat dripped down their ferocious fangs. Some crazy puppets were still fighting for food, roaring and threatening each other.

Tang Moer sensed the danger at the first moment.

Unlike other combat units, although the Eagle Guards had very high requirements for the strength of the selected soldiers, scouts were not used for combat. From the moment they became scouts, they were trained on how to conduct reconnaissance, how to survive, and how to bring back intelligence alive.

Two elite scout teams died in the same place. They did not break out separately as per the rules, and they did not even send out any warning signals or leave any marks. This was absolutely not normal.

Tang Moer immediately ordered a retreat.

But it was too late.

Dozens of Blackrock Phantoms had appeared silently around them, blocking their retreat.
