Chapter 696: Seahorse Knight
In the second half of the night, the snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
Heaven and earth are all white.
Only the space within a radius of more than ten zhang around Gu Juan was warm and dry, and not a single snowflake fell.
He faced the two old horses that were motionless, and suddenly he had the feeling that a tiger was swallowing the sky and he couldn't swallow it.
If you don't dismantle it, it's impossible to really figure out its specific structure and operating rules, but if you dismantle it, the biggest possibility is that you will still be confused, and you can't assemble it anymore......
So after thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to maintain the status quo, and when he went back, he would study the Dao soldier production manual a few times, and then talk about other things after he really understood it.
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, and there was only less than an hour and a half left before dawn, but under the cover of such heavy dark clouds, even after dawn, it would still be a gray weather.
Gu Juan came back to his senses from his contemplation, casually chatted with Luoshui who was in a daze on the side, and was thinking about how to change her mind little by little without revealing a trace, so that she could accept getting along with the Luoyu sisters, when she suddenly closed her mouth and looked into the darkness in the distance with some doubts.
Luo Shui also looked in that direction, and slowly grasped the hilt of his body, "I can faintly feel that something seems to be approaching, exuding a huge cold and bloody aura. ”
Gu Juan didn't respond, two gloomy red flames lit up in his eyes, and he looked due east, the horizon where the snow intersected with the dark night sky.
The ground trembled slightly.
"That's ......"
He breathed a sigh of relief, exhaled a breath of scarlet flame, and watched as a black line emerged from the vast expanse of land and then approached like a wave.
When they got closer, Gu Juan and Luo Shui glanced at each other, only to find that the black line was actually a neatly arranged armored warrior, riding on the back of a terrifying giant beast, silently launching an overwhelming charge in the direction of the capital of Great Wei.
The beast acting as a mount has a strange appearance, and on closer inspection, it looks like some kind of reptile that has long been extinct on Earth...... Velociraptor.
They are about three meters tall, covered with palm-sized black scales, and have sharp bone spurs at the joints that are half a foot long, looking extremely fierce and powerful.
The warriors on the backs of these beasts were also covered in black scale armor, without even a single gap, only revealing two scarlet eyes, which looked particularly oozing in the night.
Velociraptor?
Gu Juan frowned slightly, but after getting closer, he overturned his guess.
Compared to the velociraptor he remembered, these monsters looked more like mutated seahorses.
Mutated and strange seahorses, coming from east to west......
These two conditions were added together, and suddenly a thought vaguely appeared in Gu Juan's heart.
Could it be that these aliens belong to the East China Sea demons?
The iceberg that stood in the East China Sea has disintegrated and melted?
If this is really the case, at this moment, they appeared near the capital of Great Wei, wouldn't it mean that they had traveled hundreds of miles west after going ashore, and looking at the state of the guards of Jiumen City at this time, they had not received any early warning news at all.
But with the size of this group of Seahorse Legions, the chance of going undetected all the way is definitely close to zero, so does it mean that as long as they pass, there is no living person who can run out to ventilate and report the news?
A series of thoughts flashed through Gu Ju's mind, but he quickly put all his doubts behind him and looked at the army of Seahorse Knights who were getting closer and closer.
Woo......
The terrible sound of trumpets sounded above the city walls.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp to which the Nine Cities Terracotta Division belonged were suddenly alarmed.
Rockets flew out from behind the city walls, illuminating a large area outside the city, and also reflecting the black wave that swept into everyone's eyes.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"That's, what's that!?"
"That's the brigade cavalry......"
"No, this is not a cavalry, this is a demon, it is a demon!"
The armored soldiers who rushed up to the city wall were stunned, and they barely maintained their formation under the repeated scolding of their respective captains, and came to their respective positions, waiting for the next order.
Different from the soldiers of other military towns, in the past, although these soldiers of the Beijing camp who belonged to the Nine Cities Terracotta Division had also heard of the outbreak of various strange incidents, but in the past, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty had the town of Luo Yu after all, and used the Nine Machines to pull the Silk True Yuan Imperial Envoy Missing Moon Demon Knife to kill alien creatures ten miles away from the city wall, which was worthy of the name and created the first good place of the Great Wei.
Therefore, these Beijing camp soldiers can now be regarded as the first time to personally experience a strange incident, and they can maintain their formation and morale under strict orders and constraints, and they can already be called well-trained elite soldiers.
"General, I just roughly counted the enemy troops that are coming, and judging by their appearance, they are definitely not an army of demons that the Terran Iron Cavalry can compete with!"
On top of an arrow tower, there were several soldiers and horses of the Nine Cities wearing heavy armor, and under the reflection of the torches around them, everyone's faces were gloomy and solemn to the extreme, staring at the black wave that was getting closer and closer.
"Pass my order, the archers prepare, the bed crossbowmen prepare, the trebuchets prepare, take out all the black medicine and black treasures in the warehouse, and once the enemy army approaches the moat range, immediately fire a volley!"
As soon as the military general in the center laid down the order, his eyes narrowed sharply, and his gaze fell on a lonely figure in the reflection of the rocket.
"There's a guy there!?"
"It seems that he is still wearing the official clothes of this dynasty!?"
................................................
Gu Juan turned a deaf ear to the series of terrible horns that sounded behind him, and focused all his attention on the army of demon beasts that were already close at hand.
"Just got the news of his death, can't you wait to go ashore and go wild?"
"Wouldn't this be the kind of person who didn't give me face as an iron-blooded foreign envoy?"
Gu Juan let out a low sigh, and then popped forward like a cannonball, and one person greeted the almost endless army of demon beast seahorse knights.
Almost at the same time as he set off to meet him, the eyes of the Missing Moon Sword Spirit lit up with excitement and bloodthirsty light, and his body merged with the long knife, turning into a red moon, rising outside the capital, wantonly swaying a cold blood-colored light below.
Burst......
Gu Juan was like an inconspicuous pebble, silently submerging into the sweeping black wave.
Countless spears with black light stabbed at him, and the body of the spear sank into the flames of the protective body, directly turning into a puff of black mist, intertwined with the red flame and blue fire, making a sizzling sound.
