In the dark night, a firelight lit up. After a few breaths, a dull explosion sounded. The sound was like an old cow's low moo, giving people a dull feeling.
Not long after, Xiong Yan's rough voice came from the military camp, "Everyone in the Black Armored Army listens to the order and assemble!"
Wow…
In an instant, everyone in front of the canteen started to move. The black-armored guards put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and rushed back to the barracks like arrows. However, they put on their armor in the blink of an eye and quickly gathered in the open space in front of the canteen.
Stand together.
"Damn it, this is going to be a war!"
"The demon soldiers break through the pass, this is a big deal!"
"Don't be stunned, let's move quickly!"
The people from Wen Gong and Hong Ye Academy reacted a little slower, but soon they all started running. Those who should wear armor wore armor, those who should pick up things picked up things, and then they also stood up straight beside the black armored army.
Soon, Xiong Yan walked in front of everyone with steps like wind.
At this moment, his face was stern, his eyes were cold, and he looked like a tiger that was eager to devour others. He exuded a powerful aura that made people straighten their bodies involuntarily.
He said solemnly: "Everyone listen to the order. Now the flying customs is encountering demon cultivators rushing through the customs. I won't talk nonsense. Everyone must rush to support in the shortest possible time. At the same time, people from Wen Palace and Hongye Academy stay.
…”
As soon as Xiong Yan finished speaking, the students below burst into laughter.
"Commander, what does this mean? We can also fight!"
"That's right, we are not here to be young melons, we are also soldiers now!"
"We came to the border to kill demons and cultivate. We will not back down at this time!"
"The Commander-in-Chief..."
Listening to the noisy scene, Xiong Yan frowned, and then shouted, "Quiet!"
All of a sudden, the whole place fell silent.
Xiong Yan's aura was astonishing and he said: "How long have you been arguing with me? Why don't you obey orders? The reason why I let you stay..."
boom!
Before Xiong Yan finished speaking, a fiery red light suddenly exploded in the sky to their right, shining for most of the night sky.
Everyone looked up subconsciously, and then the expressions of many black-armored guards changed, "This direction, this distance, that is...Laoshan Pass?!"
"Laoshan Pass also encountered demon cultivators trying to pass the pass?"
"How could it be so sudden? Why did the demon cultivator launch such a large-scale breakthrough all of a sudden?"
Just when everyone was still surprised, suddenly several other intersecting places suddenly lit up signal flares for help. The flashing lights seemed to have been arranged, and they exploded in the sky one after another. Unexpectedly,
I thought it was some secret code agreed upon at various border crossings.
Seeing this scene, Xiong Yan's face suddenly darkened. The matter was more serious than they imagined.
"How could this happen? I counted, and there are probably seven or eight gates asking for help. What are the demon cultivators doing?"
"So many places are in need of rescue all of a sudden, so where are we going?"
"I wonder what's going on over there at Tiemenguan. Should we wait for the general's military order to take action?"
The guards of the black-armored army were also shocked. There was a lot of discussion for a while, and even the atmosphere around them became suppressed. There was a faint uneasiness among the students.
After all, this is the first time they have encountered such a big battle since they came to the border. The two previous missions to the border were dangerous, but fortunately they knew that the brothers in the border were behind them, so they felt safe in their hearts.
But now, facing a large-scale attack by demon cultivators, no one dares to say that they can survive in such a battle situation. The dangers are increasing exponentially, which makes it normal for some students to be scared in their hearts.
Xiong Yan also frowned at this time. He always felt that tonight's movement was a bit unusual, "How come there are so many demon cultivators rushing through the barrier all at once, and there is actually more than one barrier. This is a bit strange."
In the past, demon cultivators usually concentrated their demonic power to attack a border pass, and what they wanted was speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. Fortunately, the support was timely in the past, so the demon cultivators were not able to cause any major damage.
Xiong Yan was a little confused when he suddenly rushed through several passes on a large scale like now, and he was still passing through small passes.
However, the situation was urgent at the moment. So many passes on the left and right were in need of support at once. Xiong Yan did not dare to delay. He immediately ordered: "The Black Armored Army is divided into two teams and is ready to support the passes on the left and right. As for other passes, there will be different
Brothers are going, we just need to support the left and right passes as soon as possible. Do you understand?!"
"I understand!"
"Set off!"
Xiong Yan had just issued the military order and the army was preparing to set off. Suddenly, a figure found Xiong Yan and said quickly: "Commander, I don't think this is normal!"
Xiong Yan turned around and saw that it was Su Pingan.
When the first signal for help appeared in the sky, Su Ping'an didn't pay it any attention. It wasn't until several passes in a row that he asked for help that he began to feel something abnormal. "The demon cultivator we have been guarding against didn't come. How could it be?
Instead, the checkpoints in several other places were suddenly blocked by demon cultivators at the same time?"
Su Ping'an's mind was spinning.
Then when he heard Xiong Yan say that he wanted the Black Armor Army to be divided into two teams to support the left and right passes respectively, and that there would be support from other people at other passes, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Is the Demon cultivator doing this on purpose to distract the troops around Hulao Pass who can rescue us? Their actual target is us?"
When Su Ping'an thought of this, he immediately felt that this was a conspiracy of the demon cultivator. It was a targeted and deliberate plan and premeditation to attack Hulao Pass, so he immediately found
He asked Xiong Yan and quickly expressed his guess.
After hearing what Su Pingan said, Xiong Yan immediately frowned. He had felt something was wrong before, but the situation was urgent and he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until Su Pingan said this that he felt that the problem was not as simple as it seemed, "Then
How did you determine that their target would be us?"
Su Ping'an quickly analyzed: "First of all, we knew before that the demon cultivator wanted to arrest me and might attack Hulao Pass. Secondly, now there are troubles at the left and right border passes, but we are the only one who is fine. Isn't this right?
Is it normal? I suspect that they are attacking in the east and in the west. They deliberately staged such a large battle just to consume the troops in other places to prevent them from coming back to support us, so that they can concentrate their firepower and concentrate on dealing with us at Hulao Pass!
"
"You mean... our Hulao Pass will not only be broken by demon cultivators, but it may also be the most dangerous place?"
"That's right!"
Xiong Yan's face immediately became even uglier.
As the commander-in-chief, he had led troops against demon cultivators for many years. After being reminded by Su Ping'an, he felt that this possibility was very high.
And once this is true, it means that Hulao Pass will face an unprecedented tough battle, and may also face a situation without military support.
The Black Armored Army was well prepared and ready to set off to support, waiting for Xiong Yan's order, but Xiong Yan was suddenly defeated.
If it was as Su Ping'an said, then he should have asked people to stay and prepare for the battle now; but if their guess was wrong, it would be equivalent to turning a blind eye to the requests for help from the border officers on the left and right, and they were risking death.
This requires the commander-in-chief to make a choice.
Su Pingan stared at Xiong Yan closely, waiting for his decision.
But at this time, the patrolling soldiers on the border city wall suddenly shouted and beat the military drums on the city tower rapidly.
