Maple Country, Taiwen Year 12, midsummer. A majestic hawk flew over from the eastern grassland, circled over Wangyuan City for several circles, and then flew back to the direction of the grassland. In the past few years, the border of Maple Country has been very peaceful. The horse thieves who often robbed food and grass in previous years have not appeared for a long time. The Wu Li Army stationed at the border also had a rare peaceful life for many years. However, the peaceful time could not last forever. In the midsummer of this year, Maple Country ushered in the most terrifying disaster in the more than 200 years since its founding! On the border where yellow sand is still flying all over the sky, Wangyuan City is the most important fortress pass on the border. It is built on two mountain ranges and is definitely an insurmountable natural barrier. In this desolate and barren border, Wangyuan City is like an isolated city, standing quietly and silently. In a sentry post outside the city, two soldiers on duty were sitting cross-legged, drinking wine and talking about the future with a smile on their faces. "Da Zhuang, you will almost leave the army in a few years. Have you thought about what you plan to do in the future?" The soldier named Da Zhuang smiled honestly and said, "I will buy a cow with my salary. I want to go home and farm."
The slightly older soldier also said, "Hehe, you are really lucky to have joined the army in the past few years. You have encountered a rare good time. The horse thieves on the grassland in the east are like dead. They haven't come for several years." "If it were a few years ago, who would dare to bring wine to the sentry like this!" "Hahahaha, no more talking, let's drink together!" With the crisp sound of clinking glasses, the two drank the wine in the glass. Before they had time to take a bite of the side dish, the ground seemed to start shaking faintly, and the degree of shaking seemed to be getting more and more intense. At first, the two thought it was an illusion caused by being drunk, but as the amplitude of the vibration became more and more exaggerated, as if there was an earthquake, they slowly reacted. The old soldier stood up immediately and looked towards the distant east. He saw the most unforgettable scene in his life! Thousands of troops rushed from the eastern horizon, rolling up a cloud of dust. The earth trembled under the iron hooves of tens of thousands of cavalrymen, who were so powerful that they were as terrifying as the demons from hell! "This... this..." Da Zhuang, who stood up, was frightened by this scene and was incoherent. He couldn't even say a word. He even wondered if he was drunk. However, the older old soldier was more experienced than him. He reacted first and knocked on the warning bell on the sentry post like crazy. Ding ding ding! The rapid bell rang wildly and spread far away, turning into a dirge in this desolate desert. "Da Zhuang, light the smoke quickly!" Before he finished speaking, the sound of an arrow piercing the air resounded. Swish! The next moment, the old soldier's throat was pierced by an arrow, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
Da Zhuang, who was covered in blood, was completely stunned. He lit the smoke belatedly, and his expression remained in a sluggish state. This was extreme fear. "Hahahaha, Gu Rinie, this archer from your tribe is really amazing. He can hit the sentry from such a long distance." The one-eyed leader Tuwahar laughed wildly, without holding back his praise. "It's just a piece of cake!" Another conquered tribal leader said humbly on horseback. Tuwahar waved his hand and laughed wildly: "The city of Wangyuan is in front of us. Warriors of the grassland, follow me to capture this city!" "As long as Wangyuan City is broken, behind it is the flat hinterland of Maple Country, which will allow us to gallop!" As soon as the voice fell, tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the grassland swept past like a torrent. The sentry post just now was like a lone boat drifting in the sea. In just a blink of an eye, it was submerged by the waves. The violent waves continued to surge forward until a tsunami formed, violently hitting the heavy city in front, Wangyuan City. ... Twelve years of Taiwen, late summer. Wangyuan City was broken, and Maple Country officially fell into war and fire. The Wu Li army in the city fought desperately, but facing the aggressive horse thieves with several times more troops than them, even the thousand-man captain who was an internal force warrior could only sigh in despair! The commander of the Wu Li Army, General Lu Guanghong, held a black tortoise spear and broke into the battle array to kill the enemy. The master-level expert holding the peerless magic weapon showed what the top combat power of the mortal world is at this moment! He attacked the entire huge battle array alone and forcibly dug out a passage. Unfortunately, there were too many horse thieves on the grassland, densely packed like locusts, and they could not be cut off or killed! Even a warrior in the realm of divine intention was powerless in the face of such a terrifying number of troops. "Kill!" This master of the human world knew that he was powerless to save the situation. He roared in despair and continued to break through with a spear. At the last moment, he killed more than a hundred elite cavalrymen from the grassland. In the end, his body was pierced by several long spears. This was a fatal injury. Even a master of the human world could not survive. Tuwahar, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked a little horrified and frightened. He looked at the general Wu Lijun who was only about ten meters away from him, and cold sweat broke out from his back. "Don't be a coward, give him a good burial!" Tuvahar let out a long breath, he was dead after all. With the death of General Lu Guanghong, Wangyuan City completely fell! ... News of the fall of Wangyuan City was finally brought to the imperial capital Shengtian by an urgent report. Something big happened! The entire imperial capital, no! The entire Maple Kingdom fell into an uproar.
Tens of thousands of horse thieves and cavalry from Bandong Grassland have now broken through the pass of Wangyuan City and are marching from the east in a mighty manner! Emperor Taiwen almost fainted after receiving the urgent military information. "Impossible. Wangyuan City is one of the most important cities in the world. General Lu's martial arts skills are unmatched in the world. How could he die and destroy the city?!" "Come here, drag down this traitor who lied about the military situation... drag him down..." Emperor Taiwen was unable to blurt out the last four words of beheading in public. "Your Majesty... the top priority right now is to mobilize the army and prepare to face the prairie cavalry!" Some ministers came forward to give advice. "Yes, gather troops and horses to destroy these horse thieves, wipe them all out!" Emperor Taiwen's whole body was trembling, and he almost lost his ability to think. The Wu Lijun stationed in Wangyuan City is the anchor of the entire Maple Kingdom. If even such a city is breached, then Maple Kingdom will probably have no soldiers left to fight! ... At the end of summer, soldiers and horses from all walks of life returned to support Wangyuan City. Unfortunately, the prairie cavalry that entered the hinterland of Maple Kingdom were like a dragon entering the sea. They were unstoppable. They broke through the city all the way and aimed directly at Shengtian, the imperial capital! However, as more and more cities were occupied, the pace of such attacks finally slowed down. With the arrival of autumn, the northern part of Maple Kingdom divided by Xiaocuiling has lost more than half! For this reason, the imperial court used various means to try to delay the attack of the grassland tribes, and even summoned many powerful folk warriors to attack and kill Tuwahar. Unfortunately, no one made any achievements, but instead strengthened Tuwahar. of vigilance. The good news is that the invasion of grassland horse thieves has slowed down. However, the bad news is that their momentum is still unstoppable, and their goal is very clear, which is the imperial capital Shengtian. Throughout Shengtian City, people were in panic, feeling the panic caused by war for the first time. As a result, many people from Qingzhou, Liangzhou, and the northern states of Feng Kingdom have begun to move south. But moving south like this is destined to be very difficult. Xiaocuiling, a huge mountain range that stretches across from east to west, is like a natural chasm, blocking the footsteps of most people. At this time, Shengtian was in an inconspicuous blacksmith shop. "Alas, such troubled times." Li Qing sighed, and was also shocked by the sudden turn of events in Feng Kingdom. These days, all the ordinary weapons in his shop have been sold out, and many people even come to him to customize weapons in advance. It shows how difficult the situation is today, and most people maintain a pessimistic attitude. "Judging from the current situation, Shengtian may not be a place to stay for a long time. We must make preparations as soon as possible." Now he has nothing to worry about in Shengtian City, that is, the family left behind by Master Gu needs to be properly arranged.
Li Qing thought for a while and planned to transfer the tiger bone health wine and five poisonous blood-activating wine in his shop to the Extreme Night World. Now that the Five Poisons and Blood-Activating Wine has been brewed, there is no need to bury it in the soil through spring, summer, autumn and winter to refine the toxins in the wine. It can be stored in the polar night world. In addition, there are a lot of belongings that he is also preparing to transfer to the polar night world. From this point of view, the polar night world has become a good place to store things. After doing all this, Li Qing immediately found Commander Qian Hong of Maple Guard. Qian Hong, who was dressed in a gorgeous red dress, had a lingering sadness on her face recently. "Master Li, you are here to come to me at this juncture, are you here to learn martial arts?" Qian Hong looked at Li Qing with a half-smile. ...
