In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 1 (Area: Cloud, Hero: Mulan, Author: Dark Lizhi)

In the early morning, the sun had just risen and hung on the top of the mountain. The fog in the mountain had just dissipated, revealing the verdant mountains and the layers of green terraced fields at the foot of the mountain.

Between the terraced fields, there is a winding path, like a green ribbon falling from the clouds.

A big green cow was walking slowly down the mountain along the path. On the back of the cow was a girl holding a bamboo flute. She was barefoot, her trouser legs were rolled up, and her sleeves were rolled up. Fresh mud ideas.

A middle-aged man walked in front of the big green ox with a hoe on his shoulder. The ox didn't need to be led, and obediently followed the middle-aged man home.

People in the village get up early, go to the fields to plow the grass before dawn, and go home to eat when the sun comes out.

At this time, the mountain village at the foot of the mountain was already billowing with smoke. The middle-aged man caught sight of the chimney of his own house, and a smile appeared on his black and red face. He seemed to have seen his wife busy in front of the stove. Smell the aroma of barley cakes.

"Aye, what are you thinking?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile, he found that the little girl on the green cow didn't play the bamboo flute, and she didn't look forward to the hot pancakes at home. She rode the cow backwards and looked up at the clouds on the top of the mountain. Why are you in a daze.

"Abba, I was thinking, what's behind the mountain?"

"It's sand, it's all sand, it's endless."

"What about the sand?"

"It's still sand, countless sands."

"It's a lie." The little girl pouted, obviously not believing it, "Abba has never been there, how would he know?"

"Haha!" The middle-aged man smiled heartily, "I heard it from the adventurers resting in the village, we dare not go there"

When he said this, the middle-aged man's expression became much heavier.

"Aye, there are monsters in the sea of ​​sand, and many villages in the clouds, and they have destroyed them, both adults and children have been eaten."

The "monster" little girl's face turned pale. Since she was sensible, she has heard many stories about monsters. They are called monsters. Wherever they pass, blood flows like a river. Ten rooms are empty. That is the biggest man in the cloud. nightmare.

The adults said that the demons would surround a certain village at night, knock down their doors and open their windows when everyone was still asleep, and eat all the living people after entering.

It will also appear suddenly in the village when the sun is shining, chasing everyone, making them run and cry in despair, and finally all the sounds gradually disappear under the sun, leaving only the sound of chewing.

In the end, all that was left in the bustling village was dead silence.

Thinking of these terrible things, the little girl stopped looking at the top of the mountain, but turned around and sat upright.

"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man patted the little girl comfortingly, "Although monsters are scary, we don't have to worry too much, they are unlikely to come to us, because"

The middle-aged man was talking when his voice suddenly stopped. He heard the faint sound of beating drums in the distance, and the sound became louder and louder from far to near.

this is

A strong sense of uneasiness surged into the heart of the middle-aged man. He only felt his throat burning, and his breathing became heavy and difficult.

He realized something, but couldn't believe it. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at a ridge.

Then, he felt as if his heart was being strangled by an invisible claw. A humanoid creature covered in red scales appeared on the ridge. It was taller than an iron tower, and its limbs Slender, with gnarled muscles like densely packed little mice, two rows of dense fangs in the mouth, and a pair of red eyes full of evil.

Demon Seed!
The middle-aged man froze, and the hoe on his shoulder fell to the ground with a bang.

"Moo-!"

The big green bull beside him uttered a cry of fear, it backed up again and again, and was so frightened that it fell down on the ground.

And behind the giant monster, there are more than a dozen slightly smaller monsters running like a group of hungry wild beasts, and in front of them is the village of middle-aged men!

His wife was still preparing breakfast for herself at the stove, and the next
The middle-aged man only felt that the world seemed to slow down. He could only hear the sound of maggots in tarsal bones, and his own heartbeat like a drum.

is it our turn
The middle-aged man bit his lip unconsciously, and there was a sweet smell of blood in his mouth.

It wasn't until then that he suddenly remembered something, turned around and held the little girl's shoulders vigorously, and said with all his strength, "Aye, run, turn around, run up the mountain, don't look back!"

His daughter is his only hope, and while he can't run, he must at least go home and save his wife.

"Abba, but..." the girl's face was pale and her voice was trembling, but she stretched out her little hand and pointed at something with her thin fingers.

"Stop talking, run! Are you going to die in a hurry, Dad!?"

"Look there, Dad." The little girl was still pointing in one direction

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, he looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget.

Behind these running monsters, there is an army of humans!

They are all in armor, holding golden spears and halberds, and BMWs under their crotches are like dragons!
At this time, the rising sun was like fire, and the battle armor of this Iron-Blooded Master seemed to be on fire facing the rising sun.

This army is like a soaring fire dragon, chasing the demon seed.

The middle-aged man was completely stunned.

This army is actually chasing and killing those demons! ?
This group of demons did not come to attack their village, but was chased by the army and came here in a panic.

The demons are extremely powerful, and the army that can chase them is definitely an iron-blooded army.

He could feel the bloody aura coming from that army from a distance, and he even seemed to smell the bloody smell on their bodies.

Such an army will feel tremendous pressure just facing them.

And the most shocking thing is the ride that rushed to the forefront of the team.

The soldier was tall and tall, with an heavy sword on his back and two long and narrow light swords hanging from his waist. He was wearing light armor that fitted him closely, and his ponytail was tied up high, revealing a bright and heroic face. All of his sight was lost in an instant.

She was crimson all over, and her eyes were like lightning.

This turned out to be a woman.

She is as flamboyant as the scorching sun, but the chilly fighting spirit on her body is as cold as winter.

"drink!"

The woman shouted clearly, she actually jumped up from the horse!

She held the heavy sword in her hand and pointed it at the sky. With this leap, it was like a glaring light breaking through the dark night. This stagnant and hopeless space was suddenly cut open. The blood that soared into the sky was reflected in the eyes of the middle-aged man and A Ye.

That is Jian Guang.

boom!
The monster running at the end had its head cut off, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with blood spattering.

After the woman landed on the ground, she didn't stay, but jumped forward. The horse behind her was rushing to her side. She turned on the horse, and the movement was done in one go!
She put away the epee and whipped the horse.

This scene made Aye dumbfounded.

The crimson battle armor, the high ponytail, the slightly sharp phoenix eyes, and the same momentum as the epee on her body, it is a kind of fighting spirit that makes people tremble, just like the battle armor on her body, Among the ferocious monsters and the blood all over the ground, it was like a burning red flame.

The demons were still running, because they were hunted down, so of course they couldn't enter the village, so they could only run away in a panic.

And that woman, and dozens of galloping knights behind her, also followed closely behind the demon seed.

They soon went away with the demon seed until they disappeared completely.

When it comes, it is as flamboyant as a fire, and when it goes, it is as swift as the wind.

Only that flame was deeply imprinted in Aye's mind.

After the army left, the middle-aged man and Aye stood blankly for a long time.

In the mountain village not far away, some villagers also came out one after another, all staring blankly at the direction where the army and the demon species disappeared.

"Abba, who are they?" Aye murmured.

"It should be the Great Wall Guard."

The middle-aged man let out a heavy breath.

He just said that it is unlikely that the demon species will come to their village.

That is precisely because of the Great Wall Guards!

At the junction of the sea of ​​sand in the clouds and the Tang Dynasty, stands the majestic Great Wall.

For the demon species, it is a natural moat that cannot be crossed.

The Great Wall is a great miracle created by the Tang Empire, and even greater are the people who guard the Great Wall.

Those people are the Great Wall Guards.

Their village is very close to the Great Wall, and it is precisely because of this that they can be sheltered, and demons rarely attack here.

"What about the older sister just now? Dad, do you know?" the girl asked again.

The middle-aged man shook his head: "Abba doesn't know me."

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, the girl was a little disappointed.

"But" the middle-aged man seemed to think of something, which made the girl's eyes brighten: "But what?"

"Abba heard from those adventurers that there is a very powerful female warrior in the Great Wall Guards, maybe the woman just now is her."

"A powerful female warrior, what's her name?"

The middle-aged man thought about it for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a smile: "She should be called Hua Mulan!"

Mulan?
A Ye's eyes looked far away, as if he could see the Great Wall going away through the mountains and forests, the team that was rushing back to the Great Wall, and the crimson figure at the front of the team...


Great Wall.

The tall and sturdy long wall lies quietly among the high mountains, like a real dragon about to take off at any time.The dragon's body appears and disappears between the mountains, and there is no end in sight.

A swift sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and it came to the front in an instant.

This is a troop of cavalry.

Wearing armor and a gold and iron horse, a bloody aura rushed head-on from afar.

But the most eye-catching thing in this team of cavalry is the leader.

The man was tall and slender, with an heavy sword on his back and two long and narrow light swords hanging from his waist. He was wearing light armor that fitted him closely, and his ponytail was tied high, revealing a bright and heroic face.

"war!"

"Battle, fight!"

"kill!"

"Kill kill kill!"

The Great Wall stretches across the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a continuous barracks. With the military flag flying, the solemn atmosphere of iron and blood rushes towards the face.

Uniform bugles came from the barracks, and tall and straight figures could be seen on the school field from a distance, with resolute expressions, and accompanied by the sound of bugles, they drew out their knives again and again, rushing to kill.Anyone who sees this scene will involuntarily get excited, and there seems to be a passionate drum beating in their ears, making people eager to join in and fight with the enemy.

This is the barracks of the Great Wall Guards.

"Shut up!"

Hua Mulan pulled up the reins abruptly, the horse neighed, and she stood up. Before the horse's hooves fell, she flew off the horse, and her movements were extremely agile. She lifted a bloody monster on the horse's back with one hand. Throwing it to the ground, it kicked up a cloud of dust with a bang.

"These demons have been killed!"

"Hua Mulan returns to camp!"

All the soldiers on the school field were shocked by this monster's corpse.

"Sister Mulan came back faster this time!"

"It's been three days since these demons showed their whereabouts and were killed?"

The little soldier who had just entered the camp showed an expression of awe and admiration: "This is a demon seed? It looks really ferocious, but it doesn't look very powerful in Sister Mulan's hands..."

Suddenly there was a hissing sound from around.

"Boy, you just entered the camp and don't understand. Isn't that because the demons are not powerful? That's because Miss Mulan is too cruel!"

"Young, or too young, you just know that everyone calls Sister Mulan Sister Mulan, but you don't know where the name Sister comes from."

Xiaobing was dumbfounded: "Isn't that because Miss Mulan has been in the army for ten years?" Besides, there is only Hua Mulan in their barracks now.

The people around even shook their heads: "What does that have to do with it..."

Sister Mulan, Sister Mulan, Hua Mulan...typed this title herself!
Back then, when Hua Mulan first came, they still didn't care about this girl...a little girl back then, not to mention looked down on, but they never thought that such a little girl could join their famous Great Wall Guards.

Hua Mulan, who had just entered the barracks, did not have the aura she has now. She was just a young girl who was shorter than any soldier in the barracks. Holding an epee about her own height, she pointed her stern face at the enemy. Baichang, who was willing to recruit little girls into the camp, said, "What's wrong with women? Who says women are inferior to men!"

Baichang frowned, it's not just a matter of being a woman... The problem is that you are just a little girl!Can this hold a sword and kill the enemy?

However, this little girl, after saying these words, beat up more than 100 people in a row on the martial arts stage one by one, until almost all the people in the barracks were beaten by her, she still stood upright. Standing on the stage, even though his body was bruised and bruised, the last bit of strength had been exhausted, and he did not show the slightest pain. His pair of phoenix eyes were as bright as stars, and he stood as straight as a sword, refusing to fall down.

Since then, there have been no voices of dissatisfaction.

If so, it must have been because Hua Mulan didn't beat him hard enough, and he would be overwhelmed after two more beatings.

Xiao Bing asked again: "Then sister Mulan is so powerful, and killed the demon seed, she should have been promoted?"

At that time, he will join Hua Mulan's team!
The old soldier next to him knew what the little soldier was thinking at a glance, and immediately patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't think about it, your sister Mulan killed the demon seed not once or twice, she has been working hard since she joined the army. Desperately beheading the demons, rushing to the forefront every time... If you want to be promoted, wouldn't you have been promoted a long time ago?"

However, Hua Mulan didn't know what to think, and she was always just an ordinary soldier.

Although this does not prevent everyone from calling her Sister Mulan, it is indeed confusing.

It's not that no one asked curiously, but Hua Mulan was very calm about it.

"I just need to be a fighter who kills the enemy, can't I?"

This... who dares to say no?

It's just that you can do it, but why should you be a soldier if you can be a general?
Hua Mulan just said: "Is it easy to be a general?"

Everyone is still wondering, it's not easy to be a general, but is it easier to be a soldier?What do these little soldiers who want to be generals think?
Hua Mulan doesn't care what these people think, what's wrong with being a warrior?As long as you fight, just kill the enemy is enough, you don't have to think so much.

……

Hua Mulan didn't know that her legend was spreading among a new group of soldiers. She was ordered to chase after these demons. She hadn't slept for three days and three nights. Now that the demons had been eliminated, she finally had time Back to the barracks.

Unlike those soldiers who were excited to kill these monsters, Hua Mulan did not show a smile. Instead, she was recalling the situation of chasing the monsters all the way this time, with a chill in her eyes.

The demon species... can't be killed, can't be eliminated. During the pursuit all the way, the demon species did not forget to prey while fleeing.Every time she saw a person who was victimized by the demon seed, the murderous intent in Hua Mulan's heart increased.

If she could be faster and more powerful, she would be able to kill these monsters earlier, so that they would not have the chance to wreak havoc.

She thought of what her adoptive father said, the Great Wall Guards, the most important thing is the word guard, if you don't join the Great Wall Guards, you really become a Great Wall Guards.

Hua Mulan didn't quite understand at the time, isn't fighting a guard? As long as she is fighting, fighting to destroy the demons, isn't she the real Great Wall guard?

Now she still doesn't understand.

But it doesn't matter, she is willing to be just a warrior, always beheading the enemy at the forefront, it doesn't matter if the demons can't be killed in a day, they can all be wiped out one day.

The guards guessed and guessed, but never thought that Hua Mulan refused to be promoted because she didn't understand what her adoptive father said.

Hua Mulan was thinking as she walked, and when she got near the barracks, she heard a burst of moaning and sighing.

Hua Mulan followed the sound and looked down at the two soldiers squatting in the corner.

The two soldiers suddenly felt a shadow enveloping them, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit their hearts, and they jumped up reflexively. tight.

"Mu, Miss Mulan!"

Hua Mulan smiled, "What are you doing here? Lazy?"

We are not, we are not!
The two soldiers trembled. Although they hadn't been beaten yet, their bodies seemed to start to feel pain!They are not soldiers who have just joined the army, but those who have been "beaten" by Hua Mulan.

They quickly shook their heads vigorously: "Nothing! We are just... that..."

"Why are you hesitating! Tell me, what's the matter with this frowning look?" Hua Mulan asked them with a funny glance.

Seeing their slumped faces, saying it's nothing is just fooling her.

The little soldiers looked at each other, knowing that Hua Mulan didn't like people to be twitchy the most, so one of them bit the bullet and said, "That's right, Miss Mulan, you know that we are both from the cloud and from the same place." ..."

Although the Great Wall Guards are under orders from Chang'an, not all the people in the army are from Chang'an, on the contrary there are quite a few Yunzhong people.In other words, people from all over the world can join the Great Wall Guard Army as long as they are recognized.

And once you join the Great Wall Guard Army, you will only be left with the identity of the Guard Army, and your background is no longer important.

Speaking of this, Xiaobing couldn't help but take a look at Hua Mulan. With Hua Mulan's reputation in the army, many people were curious about her life experience.

But no one can tell where Hua Mulan is from. They only know that she was adopted by her adoptive father when she was very young, and her adoptive father was a general of the Great Wall Guard Army. He was extremely brave and good at fighting, and he was very loyal to the Great Wall. , dedicated everything to the Great Wall.

Later, after disappearing on the battlefield, Hua Mulan joined the army in place of her father, and joined the army at a young age.

"Go ahead." Hua Mulan raised her eyebrows.

"We have a fellow villager who has always depended on his daughter for life, but he didn't expect her daughter to suddenly disappear... Right under his nose, a living person disappeared without a trace. This is really killing him."

Xiaobing became more and more worried as he talked, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"He's here? I want you to help him find his daughter?" Hua Mulan immediately understood what the two were worried about.

Xiao Bing nodded, then shook his head: "But we are soldiers, and we are not allowed to leave our posts without military orders."

That's why they sighed.

Their duty is to guard the Great Wall. Without the order from above, how could they leave the camp without permission?
Not to mention the vast desert, where could they find a little girl?

At a loss!

The more Xiaobing thought about it, the more powerless he felt, and he felt sorry for the fellow. The nature of a soldier prevented him from doing things that violated military regulations. His responsibilities and feelings suffered a huge pull in his heart.

Even after telling Hua Mulan, the two of them could only continue to sigh.

"Ugh……"

"I want to help but I can't..."

Hua Mulan raised her eyebrows: "Why can't I help?"

Xiao Bing hadn't reacted yet: "Sister Mulan?"

Hua Mulan shook the whip in her hand, and said, "I've heard about the girl's disappearance before. The girl you mentioned is not the first one. Maybe it's the bandits who are restless again. What are you doing?" Started a business of kidnapping and trafficking."

Xiao Bing immediately understood, yes, this is very likely to be the work of sand bandits!

This kind of incident has not happened before. Sand bandits are extremely vicious, robbing caravans, plundering villages, plundering cattle and sheep, and there are many precedents for such abduction.

And the sand bandits in the cloud... It can be said that the banditry is rampant. Even under the iron-blooded suppression of the Great Wall Guards, there are always some mice that slip through the net and hide in the gutter.

What happened this time, maybe some mice couldn't hold back anymore.

"What are you waiting for, bring your fellow countrymen and find the general." Hua Mulan hung the whip around her waist and said.

Xiao Bing came to his senses immediately, his eyes burst into great surprise, he turned and ran away excitedly: "I'll call him right away! Thank you, Sister Mulan!"

……

A man with a beard and a majestic figure was looking at the herdsman kneeling on the ground with a serious expression, and the two soldiers and Hua Mulan stood beside him.

The herdsman was in his prime, but since his daughter disappeared, he has never closed his eyes again, and he has been searching for her daughter's trace day and night. After a few days, he seems to be more than ten years old, and even his hair is half white.

If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have asked these two fellow villagers.

But even if he asked the Great Wall Guards, he didn't have much hope, he was just struggling in despair.

After seeing the embarrassing expressions of the villagers, the last light in his eyes went out.

However, what he never expected was that he was actually brought to the barracks, and the extremely majestic man with the big horse and golden sword was sitting at the head. ? !

He actually saw the general!

Although he didn't know which general it was from the Great Wall Guard Army, just the word general made him ecstatic and nervous.

If it weren't for the courage given by the idea of ​​looking for his daughter, he wouldn't have the courage to talk to such a character. This is the general of the Great Wall Guards!
The place where he lives is located under the Great Wall, and the people there are full of awe of the Great Wall Guards.Many young children are even more proud to join the Great Wall Guards.

This shows the status of the Great Wall Guards in their minds.

But even in front of the general, the herdsman was still uneasy.

Will these powerful warriors who fight against demons and defend the natural dangers of the Great Wall really help him find his daughter?

"If you have anything to say, just tell the general. Tell me everything about how your daughter disappeared." Seeing that the herdsman was still silent, Hua Mulan said from the side.

The herdsman couldn't help but glance at Hua Mulan. Compared with the majestic general above, this woman's momentum is not inferior at all, full of heroism.

At this time, the general also spoke, with a calm and powerful voice: "Get up and talk."

"General... the villain's name is Shijiao. The villain's daughter is Alan. Our father and daughter have always been dependent on each other. The villain makes a living by herding. Alan is very sensible. Since he was able to walk, he has helped me herd cattle and sheep. It was the same on the day she disappeared, she looked at the sheep, I was fetching water by the river, everything was exactly the same as usual, obviously everything was fine..."

The nomads seem to be returning to that nightmare day again.

"Father! Look!" The girl sitting on the hill raised her cheeks flushed by the sun, and inserted a freshly picked wild flower into her temple.

The herdsman let out a hearty laugh: "My Alan looks better the longer he grows, even more beautiful than flowers."

The girl also laughed when she heard the words, her eyes were bent, she looked at the back of Father turning to get water, took off the beard around his waist, and brought it to her lips.

The melodious tune immediately swayed with the mountain wind.

Listening to the familiar music, the herdsman couldn't help smiling.

However, at this moment, the music suddenly stopped, followed by a short scream.

Bang!
The water bag in the herdsman's hand suddenly fell into the water, and he turned his head suddenly: "Alan!"

Everything on the hillside seemed normal, but his daughter had disappeared.

Only one beard was left and fell on the spot.

　Hua Mulan, the hero of Glory of Kings, a fictional game character, should not be confused with the real historical Hua Mulan.
