Chapter 6 The Heart Goes to the Way
It's been three days, Dongfang Longyun has been climbing on this endless ladder for three days, and from the moment he took the first step, he felt that an invisible pressure had descended on him, and with each step up, this force would become stronger and stronger.
At first, the coercion was insignificant to him, but as he walked higher and higher, and the stairs he stepped on, the coercion became more and more profound.
Now, he was feeling the pressure, as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, and he had to push it up as hard as he could to keep going.
And whenever he wanted to stop, the voice would ring in his ears, at first it was emotionless, purely speaking.
But as the number of pauses increased, the voice began to faintly produce a strange power, which affected his consciousness somewhat, and even some micro-hallucinations.
"It's such a terrible coercion, I don't know how many steps I can climb?"
Dongfang Longyun wiped his sweat and muttered to himself.
For three days, without eating or drinking, he didn't feel any hunger and thirst, but he didn't panic because of this, he was not surprised, he was defeated, he was numb to everything here.
Withstanding the pressure, Dongfang Longyun took another step forward, and the moment his footsteps landed on the stairs, he suddenly felt that the pressure was suddenly more than twice as strong.
In just an instant, he was so pressed that he almost knelt on the stairs, his whole body was bruised, and he only felt as if the whole world was pressed on his body, and the bones on his body clicked, as if they would break at any time.
There was a rumbling sound in his ears, at first it was just a feeling, then it got louder and louder, but in a moment he felt as if he was deaf, and he could no longer hear anything, not even his own voice, but the rumbling sound was all over his ears.
Knock knock
He felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, the blood flow rate in his body was constantly strengthening, and the blood vessels and meridians were invaded by a strange force, and the whole body was swollen and painful.
"Hold on, I won't die here, how can I, Dongfang Longyun, die here?"
Dongfang Longyun's heart continued to roar, trying his best to run the little remaining true qi in his body, intending to suppress the qi and blood of the riot.
What he didn't know was that at this time, on his flesh and on the surface of his body, there began to be a trace of black oily liquid spurting out, which was extremely foul, and his body was much thinner than before, which was the impurities on his body.
Dongfang Longyun felt that he was getting more and more tired, his eyes could no longer see anything clearly, it was completely dark, and there was no other thing in his consciousness at all, only pain.
The pain beyond the limit, this is the only thing he feels.
But he still persisted, blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, his teeth clenched, his fists clenched, and there was only one belief in his heart, I would not lose.
bang
At the moment when he could not support it, and his consciousness was completely darkened, a voice came out, he had already lost his hearing, but he was sure that he heard it.
He felt that something in his body, no, not in his body, should be in his consciousness, as if something was broken.
At this moment, all the pressure suddenly disappeared, and a strange force entered his body again, and a warm breath spread throughout his body.
Comfortable, indescribably comfortable, Dongfang Long Yun only felt that his whole body seemed to be infiltrated in some strange divine fluid, and that kind of warm power continued to seep into his body.
His bones, his flesh, his meridians, and even the wound on his left arm, which had been cut off earlier, all felt an itching sensation, and his flesh was rapidly becoming stronger, and his body began to grow stronger.
His eyes were still closed, and he was sure he couldn't see the changes, but he could sense that his senses were countless times sharper than before.
Slowly, he felt that his strength had fully recovered, not only that, but he also felt that he was stronger, if he met Wang Yuan again now, he might not be an opponent, but if Wang Yuan wanted to hurt him again, it would be extremely difficult.
As for those Praetorian Guards, unless they attack in groups, they are definitely not his opponents, and with his amazing assassination skills, he can definitely wipe them out.
Slowly opening his eyes, Dongfang Longyun was instantly stunned.
What a familiar scene, the ancient city built by the mountains, hundreds of years of vicissitudes, but this ancient city is full of thick atmosphere, and he returned to Eagle City.
Although he was very young when he left, and he had almost no memory of this ancient city, he still recognized it at first sight, and yes, he did return to Eagle City.
His heart was irrepressibly excited, how many times, in his dreams he returned to this place, and saw the people of this place again, those lovely uncles, uncles, aunts and aunts.
Every time he was tortured by Wang Yuan, his body was bruised, and his humiliating dignity was lost, the first thing he thought of in his heart was still this ancient city and the people in the ancient city.
This is the only warm place in his already cold heart, and only when he thinks of this place, will there be a trace of warmth and ripples in his heart.
Dongfang Longyun had tears in his eyes, turned his head little by little, and slowly thought about walking ahead, looking at the once familiar scenery around him, his eyes were slightly moist, he wanted to see this ancient city clearly, for fear that this would be another beautiful dream.
However, slowly, he came out of his feelings and found anomalies, here, no one.
The entire Eagle City was quiet, there was no one, Dongfang Longyun confirmed again, it was indeed in the Eagle City, but wasn't the Eagle City very prosperous in the past?
The most prosperous city in the entire grassland, and the only real ancient city, how can there be no one?
Dongfang Longyun suddenly quickened his pace and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion, where he was born, the place he loved the most in his heart, and the place that hurt him the most.
"Quick, the dynasty army is coming...... Go to the city to help, or it will be too late. ”
At this moment, a shout came from behind Dongfang Longyun.
Turning around, he saw that countless grassland people suddenly appeared on the street, all with scimitars in their hands, rushing towards the east or north city gates.
Dongfang Longyun suddenly arrived at so many people, and his heart was overjoyed, but then he was alarmed by their shouts, the dynasty army came, how could it be so fast?
Dongfang Longyun hurriedly rushed to a close place, wanting to ask what was going on, but when he went to grab that person's arm, his hand actually passed directly through the other person's arm, and he couldn't touch this person at all.
At this time, he realized that everyone seemed to have not noticed him at all, and they didn't even look at him.
"They can't see me, they can't touch me, what's the matter?"
Dongfang Longyun was surprised and unbelievable.
"Is this also a dream? But why do I feel that this is real, why can't I wake up?"
Dongfang Longyun pinched himself hard, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.
"It shouldn't be a dream, but ...... Forget it, don't think about it for now, go see what's going on. ”
Dongfang Longyun followed behind everyone and went to the east city gate, because the terrain of Eagle City is special, there is no south city gate, if the dynasty comes to attack, the east city gate must bear the brunt, the north city gate is second, and the west city gate is last, so the east city gate must be the main direction of attack, and his father, Dongfang Lie will inevitably be there.
Gradually, Dongfang Longyun's ears heard the shouting and killing sound outside the city, it was not too dense, it seemed that this wave of attacks was about to end, thinking that Eagle City had temporarily blocked the enemy's attack.
However, compared with the dynasty, the military strength of Eagle City is too weak, and it is estimated that this is just a tentative attack by the other party, and if you want to put some pressure on the soldiers of Eagle City, and surrender without a fight, once the dynasty gets serious, Eagle City will definitely not even be able to hold up a wave of attacks.
Soon Dongfang Longyun arrived at the top of the city, and with just one glance, Dongfang Longyun's eyes couldn't be removed.
He saw the broad back that he had remembered countless times, and he didn't know whether it was love or hate, the broad shoulders that he vaguely remembered when he was a child, as long as he wasn't busy, he had to take himself to ride a horse and hunt every day.
That figure was still so tall and strong, but Dongfang Longyun saw a trace of loneliness and loneliness.
An ordinary child is afraid that he doesn't understand anything at his age, but he is different, he has experienced too much pain, and he has learned too many things, and he knows his father's difficulties.
The lord of a city, who is responsible for the entire foundation of Eagle City and the lives of millions of people in Eagle City, he has too much to carry.
Dongfang Longyun slowly walked to his father's side, although he knew that his father couldn't see him, he was still excited and felt a little scared.
Yes, fear, what a distant feeling, since he was tortured for the first time, he has not had this emotion, when a person doesn't even care about life and death, what else can he care about?
Father's face was full of fortitude, and there was murderous awe-inspiring in his eyes, that kind of momentum could only be possessed after countless life-and-death battles, but Dongfang Longyun saw a trace of exhaustion and worry in his resolute eyes.
Eagle City is one of the three most powerful tribes in the grassland, but it is also the closest tribe to the dynasty, the dynasty's cavalry army through the North Plains Canyon, as long as half a day can reach the first line of the gorge, the throat of the Eagle City jammed, so that the Eagle City became a turtle in the urn.
Therefore, every year, Eagle City has to offer a lot of property to the dynasty, and at the same time, it has to guard against the erosion of the dynasty and the sneak attacks of other tribes, which shows how difficult it is for Dongfang Lie to independently support Eagle City for so many years.
"Report, the lord of the city, the north gate is almost unbearable, General Zhong is wounded, and the sergeants are suffering heavy casualties, so I ask for support. ”
At this moment, a herald came quickly, and then lay directly on the ground, and said hurriedly, Dongfang Longyun saw that there were two feather arrows stuck in his legs.
When Dongfang Lie heard this, he didn't make any panic, just frowned.
"Someone, inform the former general, and go to reinforcements immediately. ”
An order was given, and the only herald next to him immediately left to give the order, and two other soldiers carried the herald who had come to call for help.
Dongfang Lie had no one else around him, all the people had already been sent out, and in order to resist the dynasty, he had exhausted all the forces he could mobilize.
This made Dongfang Longyun puzzled, he knew that his father knew the power of Eagle City very well, and it was impossible to resist such a behemoth as the dynasty, with his father's feelings for Eagle City and the people of Eagle City, how could he be so disregarding the overall situation and go all out to wage war with the dynasty?
But then, he got the answer.
"Alas, I don't know where Xiao Yun'er is now, has he escaped? I think this dynasty's dispatch of troops is also related to him. ”
Dongfang Lie muttered to himself, and the worry in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Father knows what you have suffered in the dynasty, but for the sake of Eagle City, Father has no choice, and now that you have escaped, Father is very pleased, I hope you can hear about the situation here, and don't come back rashly.
The ambition of the wolf son of the dynasty, this time the troops were sent so quickly, obviously they wanted to take the opportunity to invade the grassland, capture Eagle City before the other departments reacted, and gain a firm foothold, even if the other departments joined forces, it would be too late, if you came back at this time, they would definitely kill you.
They won't allow you to come back, and with them you can only escape, not go back, otherwise they will have no excuse. ”
So it was, Dongfang Longyun was shocked in his heart, the dynasty really deserved to be the number one empire, how could a small young city lord and a small child escape from Zhongdu under their noses.
It turned out that all this was calculated by the dynasty, but I am afraid that the only thing they didn't expect was that they would be able to escape from Wang Yuan's pursuit.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the city, and I saw a dense army of the dynasty and hundreds of siege vehicles, rushing the city hammer, slowly moving towards the Eagle City, the momentum was unprecedented.
