Heulia, like every creature who is in love with mountains and flowing water, likes to look at the distant mountains in the misty morning.
The Jueyun Mountains to the southwest of Salt of the Earth are undulating and spreading, with slender and smooth arcs, like the crest and waist of a woman lying on the quilt, with only the skin from the waist to the neck exposed.
Liyue poets have always described mountains and rivers in this way, connecting mountains and rivers with women's eyebrows and bodies, comparing the earth to breathing life, and endowing the soil with motherhood and love.
In the early morning at that time, Heulia also stood on the high ground of the salt soil, looking at the mountains at the edge of her field of vision.
But he soon discovered that a strange blood-red color suddenly appeared on the cloud-shrouded mountain ridge line, and even tended to gradually expand.
The Demon God's vision far exceeds that of mortals, but even so, it took Heulia some time to determine that the red tide in the distance was an extremely well-equipped army with the Demon God's deathly aura.
What opened the way for the military formation on the mountain ridge was a large number of engineering machinery. They knocked down trees, leveled rocks, and dug solid roads at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people to allow the troops behind to pass.
In the huge military formation, Heulia could only identify the heavy armored cavalry regiment in the middle. The rest were shield-shaped mechanical chariots, heavy exoskeleton armor, constant arrays and self-discipline mechanisms that she had never heard of.
Six-limbed suspended mechanical guards with a streamlined design are on both sides of the cavalry array. These seem to be machines specially produced for killing. Four sets of gun barrels are arranged on the four arms of the composite armor. There are blood stains on the sharp blades of the lower limbs that cannot be completely wiped off.
.
Obviously, this legion comes from a very far away country and has experienced a lot of battles along the way, so it has such a tragic demonic aura.
In addition, Heulia also sensed the violent fire elemental power at the head of the cavalry array.
In other words, there is at least one demon leader in this legion.
Standing on the high tower in Yancheng, Heulia clenched her fists in extreme panic.
She didn't understand why there was such a terrifying army on the continent of Teyvat. The direction of this army's march seemed to be Mondstadt, which was ruled by the Gale Demon God "Diekar Pian". I was afraid that they would take this route to return to Liji and take advantage of Zhuang.
With the salt of the earth.
At this speed, if no one stops them, this army will arrive at the Salt of the Earth by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Jueyunjian is the territory of Morax and Hargentus. There seem to be immortal beasts and alien species resident there. Didn't they discover this legion?
Heulia walked down the tower nervously and used different languages to notify the children who were making and selling salt outside the city to return to the city.
In today's Teyvat continent, the standard that separates mortals from mortals is the demon they follow.
Language, region, skin color, and customs have become secondary conditions.
This is actually a warm and absurd scene. Try to imagine that people with two accents can only communicate through sign language. Even their clothing and appearance are visually different, but when they all praise the true name of the same demon,
, are connected together by some kind of secret and strong bond.
There are many demon gods on the continent of Teyvat, but in the hearts of every mortal, there is the only true god they believe in.
What Heulia didn't know was that the dust god Hargentus, who was at Guili's original base camp, also noticed the army heading towards Mondstadt from the Clouds, but she also didn't know where this army came from.<
/p>
At that time, the plains of Guiliyuan were vast and flat, with almost no rugged and towering mountains. As long as you were willing to stop and look far away, you could have a panoramic view of all the scenery, whether it was quiet or silent water, or ancient green mountains all year round.
tree.
Any creature can sow and cultivate on this fertile land, rest and multiply.
But also because the terrain of Guiliji is too flat, rich in resources, and is an important transportation artery connecting the north and south coasts, it has long been a battleground for military strategists.
However, the Rock King Morax was so powerful that he concluded a covenant of "Two Kings to Rule the World" with the Dust God Hagentus.
During the melee between the demon gods, although some demon gods had brief cooperation, most of the time they acted independently. Although the surrounding demon gods were eyeing the geomantic treasure land of Guiliji, they rarely had enough strength to challenge the two.
The Demon God of the Alliance.
However, before this blood-tide army appeared, Morax had already led the Yakshas of the Immortal Family and the Dragon King Ruotuo to fight against the whirlpool demon Osel, and now he may not be able to return reinforcements.
"Arrange more manpower around, be sure to keep an eye on what's going on outside the city, and report any news to me immediately."
[In view of the general environment,
Unable to figure out the other party's intentions, the dust god Hagentus and the three Yakshas Yingda, Fennan and Minu who stayed behind in the Guiliji finally chose to stand still and only mobilized the Qianyan Regiment to strengthen the vigilance around the Guiliji.
, send scouts to contact the opponent.
However, the Scarlet Army marched faster than the horses of the Guili scouts. During the sleepless night of Heulia, this army detoured to Qingce Village and quickly crossed the Bishui River and Dihuazhou.
Early the next morning, a cavalry squad came to the city wall of Yantu, declared their affiliation and military commander, and requested in a relatively mild manner a short stop for supplies and a state visit.
They were led by [The Immortal God] Harpas and supported the Mondstadt resistance campaign.
Heulia had no reason to refuse, or in other words, no right to refuse. Long before the cavalry team arrived at the salt soil, she heard the sound of the machines digging the road into Dihuazhou and building bridges to cross the water.
When the sun was at its peak, Heulia and the "King of Men" of the Salt Earth went out of the city and welcomed the immortal god and his heavy armored cavalry troops into the Salt City.
"Great God of War, your reputation is unknown to everyone from Munata to Mondstadt."
Heulia bowed to Famas on horseback with a meek expression, while the King of Men, with ambition shining in his eyes, bowed his head respectfully and praised the other person in the Gumunata language he had learned all night. The King of Men had heard the name of the [God of War] Harpas from the mouths of many foreign businessmen. It was rumored that he was invincible and invincible, and had also formed offensive and defensive alliances with many powerful demon gods.
Occupying half of the continent of Teyvat.
Seeing Heulia's humble appearance, the human man following Famas seemed a little surprised and jumped off his horse in advance to salute, but Famas did not rely on his strength to be arrogant.
Wearing plate armor, he also dismounted and came to Heulia and the King of Men.
"Thank you for your strange... compliment."
"I came here uninvited. I hope I won't disturb you, Miss Heulia."
Famas, who is still considered young, has a wanton posture, with no trace of snow-white red hair fluttering in the evening wind blowing from Dihuazhou. The heavy plate armor does not affect his actions at all, but rather accentuates the young man's heroic appearance.<
/p>
"This is the [leader] of the Munata Heavy Cavalry Corps, Singh Arjuna."
"We just need to replenish some food and we will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Famas opened his mouth to explain, and standing behind the boy, a human man of similar age smiled and nodded, seeming to be a little uncomfortable because of Heulia's respect.
No one can guess what this humble man will achieve in the future.
Killing the demon god with a mortal body, ending the "Right of Road War", being granted a hereditary and irreplaceable title, one of the three marshals of Munata, the elopement target of the dragon princess of the White Night Kingdom...
And, the patriarch of the Arjuna family, the father of the deceased leader [Vikas Arjuna], and the great-grandfather of the little Thunder Fire Warlock Sabu.
