Chapter 259: Setting up a trap(1/2)
"I heard that someone in the tribe is saying that Marquis Wucheng has gone to a dark place?"
A low voice sounded in the cave. This cave can be regarded as the "temporary tent" of the barbarian king.
There was no bonfire, no light, and several tall figures standing there even made the entire cave seem a bit small and cramped.
As the king of millions of people, the barbarian king's "meeting tent" is a bit shabby.
After the words fell, there was silence for several breaths.
One of the burly black figures replied angrily:
"Yes, King."
The barbarian king sat cross-legged on a cold boulder and slowly opened his blue eyes:
"Zhaye, how did this news reach the tribal army?"
The cold wind was blowing, and the drifting snow flying into the cave entrance made everything look cold and dark.
Spreading news to disturb the enemy's military morale has been around since ancient times, but under the current situation, it is obviously unrealistic for Dayan to use flying monsters to "distribute leaflets". After all, no one can be found.
Zaye said in a deep voice:
"King, this news was brought back to the camp from the small group of wolf riders we sent to harass the Yan Army."
"Bring it back to the camp?" Hearing these words, the foreign king of the barbarians frowned slightly: "Zaya, I remember that I specifically asked you not to let the wolf cavalry who went out to harass the Yan Army return to the formation, in case there are high-level cultivators.
Sneaking behind the wolf cavalry returning to camp will expose the position of the army, and everything will become empty talk!"
Hundreds of thousands of troops is a huge number, but within the vast territory of Tianshui Continent, it is still like a drop in the ocean.
The Barbarian King is confident that he can consume the Great Yan Border Army to death under this blizzard natural disaster.
But if you have a pig under your control
After hearing this, Zaye knelt down directly and explained:
"Wang, he didn't bring it directly to the camp, but revealed it when the tribesmen were chatting with each other when the meat was being transported and handed over."
When the barbarian king heard this, his voice was filled with anger:
"I have stored meat in so many places in advance, so why would anyone in our formation go out to deliver food?"
The great flames firmly occupy Renhe, so they can only make the best use of the weather.
The barbarian king knew this very well.
Therefore, he had already made arrangements in advance when the elite of the imperial court went south.
Avoid its sharp edges and swim without striking.
Zaye subconsciously glanced at the burly barbarian beside him, but the next moment, the voice of the barbarian king came over, a little cold:
"The king is resting here to recover from his injuries, and you are turning a deaf ear to my orders?"
At the same time, the terrifying coercion on the barbarian king was released.
Several burly barbarians in the cave immediately fell to their knees after receiving this aura.
Zaye took a deep breath, performed a barbarian etiquette, and said with difficulty:
"King, someone among the wolf riders was injured, and the people from the sacrificial tribe were entrusted to go and treat him."
Hearing this, the barbarian king silently raised his one arm, rubbed the center of his eyebrows with the hard cuticles of his fingertips, and said in a cold voice:
"Is he a descendant of a tribal noble?"
"Yeah."
"."
The words fell and the cave was silent.
The barbarians are martial, and can cold-bloodedly give up a series of burdens such as the elderly, the weak, and the disabled in order to survive, but this does not mean that they do not have the concept of blood.
Ordinary tribesmen will be given up sufficient military rations if they are injured and do not heal, but the heirs of high-ranking nobles will not.
Zaye knew this very well, but he knew even more clearly that the iron-blooded "king" would not allow such an exception to occur.
After unifying the Holy Clan, all members of the clan will judge their value based on their contribution.
Back then, the king's heir was seriously injured in the battle and returned. With his noble status, he could provide a large amount of precious resources for rescue, but the king directly ordered to give up.
"His value is not enough for the Saints to pay such a price. Returning his soul to the ancestral god is the best result for him."
When the cold-blooded words rang in his ears, Zaye looked at the killing intent in the eyes of the Barbarian King with a little worry.
With the current situation, the Holy Clan cannot withstand another purge.
In the end, the murderous intention in the eyes of the barbarian king turned into a long sigh, and his voice was a little tired:
"I want to train my heirs, but I am afraid of their death. However, the top priority is not to investigate the responsibility. I immediately ordered this news to be blocked and not to disturb the morale of the military."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Zaye immediately responded and glanced sideways at a burly barbarian beside him.
Look at each other for a moment,
The burly barbarian bowed and quickly exited the cave.
The cave returns to silence,
Zaye looked at the barbarian king with an uncertain expression in front of him, saluted and asked:
"King, this news has spread in the Kue Department and the Royal Court. I wonder if this news is true?"
The barbarian king's heart was as heavy as iron, but he still said calmly on the surface:
"The Yan people want to disrupt the morale of our army and force us to engage in a decisive battle with them. Naturally, we cannot fall into their trap."
Hearing this,
As a brother who grew up with the Barbarian King, Zaye seemed to understand something. He was silent for a while and suddenly said:
"Yiting, Gong Xiong, you two go out first."
"."
After a moment of silence, the other two barbarians also bowed and left.
For a time, only the barbarian king and Zaye were left in the cave.
When the barbarian king saw this scene, his tone softened slightly, and his indifferent tone brought a smile:
"Zhaye, if you want to reminisce about the past, it's not too late to wait until the king recovers from his injury?"
Zaye stood up slowly and stared at the barbarian king:
"Wang, you know that I am straight-tempered, so I asked directly."
"."
The barbarian king's eyes narrowed, and then he sighed and uttered one word: "Ask."
Zaye's tone suppressed some emotions:
"That Marquis Wu Cheng of Great Yan really went to the extremely dark place?"
"It should be." The voice of the barbarian king was very calm: "Otherwise, the Great Yan army would not have been able to send high-level warriors to block the two mountain ranges at all costs to prevent us from escaping and heading north."
Zaye's heart trembled, and the barbarian's unique low voice was slightly trembling:
"King, there are millions of women and children of the holy clan in the extremely dark land."
"Zaya, calm down."
The blue eyes of the barbarian alien king were very calm, and his tone was a little relieved: "The extremely dark land is vast, how easy is it to find the holy city of my holy race? Moreover, the baggage carried by that Marquis Wu Cheng should not be much, not enough to let him go.
He stayed in the darkest place for a long time."
"But what if it falls?" Zaye clenched his fists, and his hard horns creaked: "That is the Holy City."
Holy City.
After the unification of the barbarian kings, the city was built with stolen materials over the years.
It’s not too big, not even as big as a county in Dayan.
But it is a symbol of the establishment of the royal court, which represents the transformation of the barbarians from being scattered and competing for resources to being united towards the outside world.
"Okay."
The barbarian king looked at his old friend walking in front of him and chuckled: "Zaya, do you think we should fight quickly? Return to the Holy City to aid?"
Zaye bowed his head and saluted:
"Wu Yuan has led 100,000 elites of the Great Flame to pursue us for more than a month. Now the army and horses are tired and exhausted. If they attack, they will definitely be defeated."
"No."
The foreign king of the barbarians directly rejected the proposal without thinking, and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know the reason, that Wu Yuan seems to be very anxious. He chased us in the blizzard so arrogantly, almost attacking us with "Come"
The four big characters "I" are pasted on my forehead."
