Chapter 1012: A Ruined Town
In the grasslands and deserts that are about to step into the Western Regions, there is an inconspicuous small city pass, most of the business travelers to and from the Western Regions only know Yanmen Pass, but few people notice this small city pass.
Therefore, it is relatively deserted here, even the soldiers stationed in the city pass are also spiritless, and it is simply a very unlucky thing for them to be assigned to such a small city pass without oil and water, so the soldiers standing on the dilapidated city wall are dozing off with the noon sun at this moment.
I didn't even notice that the group had already stepped into the city pass, and the leader was a young and handsome young man, who did not look like an eastern face, but a blonde and blue-eyed man common in the Western Regions.
Beside the young man was a sturdy figure, almost as tall as the walls of the small city, with a sincere smile on his face.
The two masters and servants were none other than Reimer, the King of Hearts, and Baal, the head of the Demon God of the Royal Hearts family.
Knowing that Lucius had entered the Western Regions, Reimer immediately began to try his best to leave Songjiang City, for which he even had to give up his vested interests in Songjiang City, and was forced to give up the control of the entire Songjiang City.
Reimer knew very well that with his departure, Songjiang City would completely fall into the hands of the academy disciples, which would be equivalent to returning to the hands of the two saints.
It was rebuilt by Lecius and is located in the center of the whole Middle-earth, with waterways and land routes extending in all directions, and it is a real transit place for trade between the east and the west, the north and the south.
It can be said that Songjiang City is definitely a very important city, once you get that city, it is equivalent to obtaining the most important center of Middle-earth, controlling the main road connecting the north and south of the Tianjiang River, and also controlling the waterway that the east and west want to connect, it is simply a place that absolutely controls the entire Middle-earth.
Originally, in such a place, Reimer didn't want to give up lightly, and he also had enough strength and confidence that he could carve up some of the oil and water of Songjiang City.
But news came that Lucius had entered the Western Regions. But Reimer had to choose to give up Songjiang City, because for him, the Western Regions was obviously more important in comparison, and the thirty-six countries and one hundred and eight city-states were the foundation for him to truly gain a foothold in the East.
In order not to let the Western Regions lose, Reimer had no choice but to give up the vested interests of Songjiang City first, and use his own low-hanging benefits to exchange the opportunity to leave the flawless senior sister and brother.
Reimer walked slowly into the city gate, took a closer look at the dilapidated city gate, shook his head and said to the stout Baal, "This place is really in tatters. It's almost worthless. ”
Hearing Reimer's words, Baal grinned and said, "Hehe, King, it is precisely because this place seems to have no value on the surface that when the empire was shattered, the King of Hearts put the Leak of Time and Sand here so that no one will find out. ”
Baal's words did not suppress his voice, and the loud voice suddenly echoed throughout the city, instantly waking up all the soldiers who were napping in the city.
It wasn't the soldiers at the head of the city who woke up first. On the contrary, it was the general in the dilapidated mansion in the city, and the general who came to his senses was shocked, and a strange feeling hit his heart, and he quickly beat the broken drum on the broken wooden shelf outside the mansion.
"Knock knock knock ......" drum sounds. In an instant, the entire city bloomed with brilliant brilliance in the blink of an eye, and the dilapidated city seemed to take on a new look in the blink of an eye.
The soldiers who were napping in the city were all dressed in neat clothes, and they poured out from all sides of the city in array. In an instant, the master and servant stood in the empty streets of the city.
Seeing the soldiers lined up all around, Reimer could be said to be frightened, he didn't think of the city that originally looked dilapidated. In the blink of an eye, such a majestic army rushed out, and all the soldiers swept away the previous decadence, as if they had completely changed a group of people.
They were dressed in cast-iron armor, and the soldiers in the front row were all armed with heavy shields, followed by a group of soldiers with black iron spears.
All the soldiers have crimson cloaks behind their backs to spread in the wind, and the uniformity gives people invisible oppression, such an army is absolutely invincible on any battlefield, and no one will feel that any army can match it.
Baal first came to his senses, and exclaimed with some surprise: "The wolf of the eastern capital? I can't imagine that the wolf of the eastern capital, who disappeared at the beginning, would actually hide in such a place." ”
As soon as Baal's words fell, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and a general wearing black armor and holding a black iron spear walked out slowly, looked at Baal and Reimer and said, "Unexpectedly, we have been stationed here for so many years, and we have finally waited for you, the emperor of the Sand Sea Empire, the King of Hearts." ”
was directly revealed by the other party, Reimer was a little surprised, looked at the general who stood up, and asked with some surprise: "How do you know my identity?"
The general nailed the black iron spear in his hand to the ground, and said very calmly, "For I have been ordered to wait for you here for many years. ”
Knowing that the other party was actually ordered to wait for him here, Reimer suddenly understood, and said with a sneer: "So, you already know what is buried under this city?
Hearing this, the general said very firmly: "As a Tang Dynasty soldier, we naturally have to act according to orders, since we are stationed here and waiting for you, then even if we are defeated, we must fight with all our might." ”
Baal's expression instantly became a little solemn, he glanced at the unconventional army around him, and said to Reimer in a low voice: "Wang, this is the standard configuration of the Heavenly Ce Army, the three battalions of the Heavenly Shield, the Heavenly Bow, and the Heavenly Spear are all here, and I am afraid that there is also a Heavenly Killing Battalion to deal with it secretly, which is very difficult to do." ”
Reimer also frowned, he didn't expect that if he wanted to retrieve the inheritance of the Sand Sea Empire, he would encounter such an obstacle.
You must know that before the fall of the Sand Sea Empire, that generation of King Hearts quietly left the empire and buried the Sand Drain under this small city.
originally thought that it was impossible for anyone to notice this small city, but what he didn't expect was that the most elite Tiance army in the Tang Dynasty would actually ambush himself in this small city and wait for him for hundreds of years.
Things suddenly became very tricky, and even the King of Hearts, who possessed extraordinary intelligence, felt a little difficult to deal with at the moment.
After a moment of silence, Reimer couldn't help but ask, "I want to know, how did you find out here, and who ordered you to be stationed here?"
The general was clearly straight-tempered, and like the knights of the Western Templars, he followed a decent style, even when he knew that there was an enemy in front of him. But there is still nothing to hide.
replied very directly: "Not long after the founding of my Tang Dynasty, a person from the West met with the Second Sage, pointed out the special nature of this place, and told the Second Sage that the most important treasure of the Sand Sea Empire's Red Heart King was buried here, so that the Second Sage must pay attention to it and send someone to guard here." ”
"Later, the second saint attached great importance to this matter, so he sent us to garrison here, but I didn't expect that this stay would be hundreds of years. ”
Reimer was amazed. I didn't expect that it would be someone from the West who broke the secret hidden here, which attracted the attention of the two saints of the Tang Empire, and sent the strongest Tiance Army of the Tang Empire to be stationed here.
After a moment of silence, he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Who is it? The sand sea blocks the east and the west, how can someone come from the west?"
The general shook his head and said, "I don't know where that person came from. But he did come from the West, and he crossed the sand sea, there is no doubt about that, after which he returned to the West. But before he left, he left this thing behind. ”
As he spoke, the general picked up a discolored metal leaf in his hand, even though it had faded. But Reimer and Baal were still shocked when they looked at it.
Reimer couldn't help but whisper to himself, "Shamrock, what, how did it end up here." ”
But Reimer quickly calmed down again. I quickly calculated it in my heart.
According to the estimation of the time when Lucius arrived in the west, it is unlikely that this clover was left by Lucius, so it means that the people of the Shamrock family crossed the sea of sand before Lucius, reached the east, and found this city.
Obviously, the visitor of the Clover family was supposed to want to dig up and bury something here, but in the end it should have failed, so the Tang Empire sent troops to garrison here.
The purpose is to close this place and prevent Remer, a descendant of the King of Hearts, from coming here to get the treasure.
Reimer pondered carefully, thinking about who it might be, and at this moment, a figure appeared in Reimer's mind.
Lecius's father, thinking of this Reimer himself can't believe it, but judging from the clues, especially from the metal clover in General Tiance's hand, the only possibility can only be Lecius's father.
But what Ramer couldn't understand was why Lucius's father knew about the city, and knew that the King of Hearts had buried the Sand Drain here.
What makes Reimer even more puzzled is what kind of method did Lecius's father use to cross the sea of sand known as the Death Zone?
However, it is difficult for Reimer to come up with answers for the time being, and I am afraid that only by asking Lecius's father in person can he get the answer, and now the problem Reimer has to face may be very difficult, making it very difficult for him to get the Sand Leak.
First of all, the Tang Empire's strongest Tiance army, although the strength of a single soldier of the Tiance army may not be as good as that of Baal, the demon god, but if it is a complete Tiance army, the result is not easy to say.
After all, Reimer had heard about the Tiance Army's group battle against the ice field barbarian gods, you must know that even if Baal is the head of the demon gods, his strength may not be stronger than those barbarian gods on the ice field, so there is really no advantage in fighting the Tiance army alone.
Secondly, there is the metal clover, where the metal clover appears, there will inevitably be the arrangement of the clover family, which is also what Reimer is most worried about.
Now Reimer was really annoyed, and he couldn't understand why he was so smooth in the East that he had been so smooth in the East, but the arrival of Lucius disrupted all his plans and pushed him to a desperate situation.
But even if he was already in a desperate situation, for Reimer, the leak of time and sand was still inevitable, because this thing was too important to him.
The King of Hearts of the Sand Sea Empire nominally has four major treasures, but in fact, the truly powerful treasure is this leak of the sand.
Even when he was in the Sanctuary, the King of Hearts had never opened the seal, and he took out the Sand Leak from here to use it, because the one in the Sanctuary was too strong at that time, and the King of Hearts would be worried that once the Sand Leak was exposed, the other party would master the characteristics of the Sand Leak.
You must know that the founder of the Sanctuary is a guy who can make a qiē thing, even if it is a holy weapon of the original Magic Heaven, he can imitate it, and it is almost exactly the same in appearance and power.
That terrifying imitation ability really frightened everyone, so none of the previous Hearts Kings of the Holy Domain had ever tried to take out the Leak of the Sand.
It can be said that this treasure is the last killer weapon of the King of Hearts, and it will become the most important thing for them to turn the tables.
Reimer felt that as long as he got the Leak of the Sand, then no matter how powerful Lucius was, he would not be able to stop him in the end, and the completely revived Sand Sea Empire, coupled with the Leak of the Sand, must be invincible.
General Datang, who was holding the clover in his hand, saw that Lei Mo was silent, and didn't seem to want to do anything directly to Lei Mo, but comforted: "Young King of Red Hearts, I advise you to leave here, don't remember that thing anymore, we can treat you as if you haven't been here." ”
The other party's seemingly generous persuasion made Reimer feel extremely humiliated, you must know that he is a descendant of the King of Hearts, and now he will be expelled like this.
"Hahahaha......" Reimer couldn't help but laugh on his back, and the laughter immediately echoed throughout the city.
Even the dilapidated buildings in the city shook violently in his laughter, as if they might collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, the Tang general frowned slightly, raised his arm to let the army prepare, stared at the surrounded Reimer, and then prepared to order the army to attack.
But Reimer suddenly restrained his laughter, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said fiercely: "Okay, since you all force me, then don't blame me for being ruthless, I will let you know that the revival of the Sand Sea Empire will inevitably be accompanied by bloody rain, and you humble ants cannot be stopped." ”
With that, Reimer suddenly recited an obscure incantation, and as Reimer recited the incantation, a violent wind suddenly blew up, and the wind swept up the yellow sand in the sky, instantly shattering the ruined city.
The soldiers of the Tiance army watched as the yellow sand soldiers stood up from the sand one by one, holding the weapons condensed by the yellow sand, and launched an attack on the Tiance army mercilessly.
The general immediately threw out the clover in his hand, and at the same time directly ordered: "The whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy, disperse to meet the enemy, and swear to defend it." ”
The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye, the wind and sand have swallowed up the entire city, and the yellow sand in the sky covers the small city, and the city gradually disintegrates in the yellow sand, and the buildings, walls and gates in the city are all blown down by the wind, and quickly turn into sand.
I don't know how long it took for the wind and sand to subside, and the whole city had been razed to the ground, leaving only the sand on the ground, but if you look closely, you can see that the sand is all bright red.
Reimer sat on Baal's shoulder, looked at the bright red sand under his feet, held an inconspicuous-looking wooden hourglass in his hand, and sighed helplessly: "Why bother? (To be continued......)
