On a dark and windy night, in an edge area of the Long family's territory, a group of people were chasing another group of people. The people being chased seemed to be unable to hold on, and there were only four injured people.
Disabled people.
If Bu Zheng were here, he would immediately rescue the person being chased, because one of them is Xiuying, and the other is Long Moxue, who Bu Zheng is relatively familiar with. Bu Zheng does not know the other two, but
It should be an elder of the Long family and a young man of the same nature as Long Moxue.
I don’t know if Long Moxue is unlucky. He is chased and killed every time he goes out. Even if this is very common, if you chased others twice in a row, it’s either something weird or just bad luck.
"Let's go, you go quickly!" The elder of the Long family finally wanted to leave no way out. These young people are the hope of the Long family. This is not only because of his dedication, but also his loyalty to the Long family.
These three young people will definitely surpass him in future development. Even one of them will require his sacrifice, let alone three.
Xiuying was very moved when she heard the words of the elder Long, and then said: "Master, take care! I will avenge you in the future!!"
"..."
This elder of the Long family is Xiuying's master. He is one of the core elders of the Long family. He ranks ninth in strength and is generally called the ninth elder. He is naturally very strong. Otherwise, he would not have been able to persist until now. He would have been killed elsewhere.
Got killed.
"Ninth Elder, let's go together. This is already our territory. We can just retreat." Long Moxue said.
Although the Ninth Elder cuts off the rear here, he still has the ability to retreat for a while, otherwise it would be meaningless. If he cannot retreat, there is actually no point in cutting off the rear.
The best time to cut off is not to keep people to buy time when there is no other way. The effect will be very poor, and it will also put too much pressure on the people who cut off, because at that time, the people who cut off must delay the time for others to escape.
The more time you have, the more reluctant you will be.
"It's useless. Although this is the edge of our territory, there are no cities or fortresses in this area. We have to go deep to find them. We don't have that much time to last that long." The Ninth Elder shook his head and said.
"I know that this is a stone forest swamp, and it is difficult to develop anything. It is a useless place, but the terrain there is complicated, and we have no chance. If you cut off our back now, we won't be able to run very far!"
Long Moxue shook her head and said.
"In this case, Master, let's go for a walk first. Maybe we can meet someone." Xiuying changed her "mind" after hearing Long Moxue's words.
"The terrain is complex, but that's just for ordinary people... forget it, just take it one step at a time..." The Ninth Elder was a little helpless and could only resign himself to fate now.
In fact, the Stone Forest Swamp is a magical structure of swamp and stone forest. The Stone Forest is built on the swamp. It is not a problem for warriors to develop a city on the Stone Forest, but this is too problematic for ordinary people.
Much inconvenience.
The most important component of a city is ordinary people, not those warriors. Although ordinary people are also good at martial arts, and there are some powerful ordinary people who can fly across the stone forest, the question is. Who would ordinary people choose to live in such a place? Obviously they can.
Why should you suffer here when you can live a comfortable and convenient life elsewhere?
The inertia of ordinary people is a very scary thing. This kind of inertia will make people choose a more comfortable and comfortable environment. It is best not to move anything.
In addition, the rock structure of the stone forest here is also very solid, and ordinary warriors cannot open up wasteland. Moreover, there are many poisons in the swamp, and even poisonous mist is produced, which also creates a harsh environment here.
There is no problem in building a town here, but the cost is too high, and it will not be popular. The Long family does not want to spend this price unless the town can develop self-sufficiently.
But, what about resources?
There aren't a lot of resources around here, and anyway, it doesn't look like there's much significance for development!
The Ninth Elder passed by here last year. Although there were one or two strongholds, those strongholds could not help him resist the enemies who were now chasing him. If he wanted to get help, he would have to go a long way into the territory.
The terrain is complex, and it is basically ineffective for people of the Ninth Elder's level who can hunt down them. Therefore, the Ninth Elder has no hope in this. He only hopes for a miracle to happen now.
Keep running away as long as you can. Finally, let them separate. After all, they have entered the Long family's territory, and the chance of being rescued will be much higher.
"No, someone is coming from the front, we are surrounded..."
After the four of them ran for a while, the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer. At this time, they discovered that someone also appeared in front of them, and the scale seemed to be quite large.
At this time, the Ninth Elder was not thinking of his own Long family's team, but of others, because the support from the Long family should not be so much. This seemed to be a small army. This should be the reinforcements notified by the pursuers behind.
.
However, there is also a slight doubt about this. This is the territory of the Long family after all. Although it is a buffer zone between the two families, the other party would not dare to come in on such a large scale.
If chasing people like himself is just an isolated act, then letting a small army enter the Long family is not an isolated act.
Unless they can conceal this matter, the result will be to kill everyone!!
At this time, the Ninth Elder felt that he should have broken off the rear and let them escape separately, so that at least they would not be surrounded here. Now this situation is a bit headache.
And at this moment, when the Ninth Elder felt a little regretful, he suddenly discovered that the person in front of him turned out to be——
"The people of the Song family are so brave. They dare to cross the border to hunt down the people of the Long family!!"
The small army that came from the front directly passed by the Ninth Elder and the others, blocking the pursuers from behind. At the same time, they also surrounded the Ninth Elder and the others.
Yes, these people were from the Long family. This made the four Ninth Elders immediately feel relaxed. They put down the big stone and felt a sense of exhaustion.
"..."
The people who were chasing Xiuying and the four people were members of the Song family, and the border between the Song family and the Long family was at this place. They were also very surprised that the Long family appeared here. When did the Long family
Has the defense range of the home been advanced to this point?
They are frowning. If we talk about strength, they are not afraid of the appearance of these reinforcements. Even with the addition of these reinforcements, their strength still has a slight advantage. Although the small army opposite has a large number of people, its strength is still relatively ordinary.
Yes, at least not compared to masters like them.
However, what they are afraid of is that if this small army appears here, will it be the only one? If another supporting team comes, then they will be here today, and they will still be here in vain, because they
He entered the territory of the Long family and was still hunting down the Long family's people.
What makes them think there is a problem is that this team does not seem to have traveled a long distance, which means that they are patrolling nearby, indicating that the Long family has a defense stronghold nearby.
Since the defensive stronghold is here, it means that this team is definitely one of them, especially when they just noticed that this team also sent a signal to notify others to come for support.
Of course, it can also be suspected that they are bluffing. The problem is that the probability of this is very low, and even with this team, they can win, but the price they have to pay is also very high, and the situation is different from the previous situation.
It’s the same, so in the final conclusion, it’s better to give up.
"Haha, we just took the wrong road and went back!"
The people of the Song family smiled and then went back. They were also very confused about the appearance of this small army. They believed that they would check it out when they went back. What would greet them then would be an extremely shocking thing.
And their shock should be less than that of the Ninth Elder and others, because there are always differences between what they experience personally and what they hear.
"Who are you?"
After the Song family members left, the Ninth Elder asked about the Long family team. He was a little confused as to why such a team existed here, and it seemed that a new team would come later.
Like the Song family, he could imagine that there was a stronghold here, but there was no such stronghold here a year ago. Why would the Long family arrange a stronghold here?
This made him feel very strange!
"We are the seventh patrol team of Lilong City. The younger one is called Dalei. Who are you?" asked Dalei, the captain of the patrol team. They also had no idea who the ninth elder and others were.
I just know that they are from the Long family, and their status should be very high.
"Lilong City? The 7th Patrol Team?"
These two words surprised the Ninth Elder. Lilong City was a city name he had never heard of before, and it also echoed the Long family's city naming rules. He didn't understand when there was a Lilong City like this nearby.
The city appears.
The seventh patrol team means that there are at least seven such teams. A patrol team of this size also shows that Lilong City is not small!
However, when I came here a year ago, there was obviously nothing nearby. How could there be an additional Lilong City now, and it was not small in scale? Could it be that they were teasing me?
This makes no sense and is unnecessary!
Could it be that some important resources were discovered here, and the Long family built a Lilong City here within a year. This is very possible. With the resources of the Long family, it is still easy to do.
"I am the ninth elder of the Long family. You can just call me the ninth elder. This is Long Moxue, Long Aoli, and this is my apprentice, Li Xiuying!" The ninth elder introduced himself.
"Ninth Elder, Young Master Aoli, Miss Mo Xue, Miss Xiuying, you should be tired, then come with us to Lilong City to rest!" Da Lei saluted and then sent out an invitation.
"Lilong City... let's go!"
The Ninth Elder didn't ask any more questions. Now he just wanted to see Lilong City first. (To be continued...)
