Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

The huge flying mounts, from a distance, look like a speck of dust in the sky, and even people with poor eyesight will ignore them directly.

But when you really look at them up close, you will find that these mounts are not only huge, but also have strength at the fifth level.

Although they are all at the fifth level, they are not magic beasts, but monsters native to the Tianping Mountains. It’s just that monsters and magic beasts have various connections. These monster mounts in front of them are somewhat similar to Ganghuo Eagle in appearance, and their names are Huoyun Eagle.

In fact, such monster mounts are not so strange to the people of Ye Lin Empire, because Huoyun Eagle itself is a flying mount specially cultivated by the high-level officials of Ye Lin Empire.

When the tenth elder came to Yancheng, he and his men rode Huoyun Eagle, and now there are three Huoyun Eagles in the sky. Anyone who sees Ye Lin Empire will understand that the person riding on them must be a person with a special status in the empire.

Three Fire Cloud Eagles were in a "品" formation, with the one in the middle being the largest and having reached the peak of the fifth rank. There was one on each side, with slightly weaker strength and size, but also reaching the fifth rank.

If you look from a distance, just by looking at the warrior costumes on the back of the Fire Cloud Eagle, you can clearly see that they are direct warriors of the Ye Lin Empire. Such warriors are almost trained by the Ye Lin Empire itself, which is different from the warriors recruited by the general cities.

The warriors in the Licheng are recruited by the Licheng lord himself and trained by the city lord. This way of training warriors will naturally cause a certain burden to the city lord, but at the same time these warriors are equivalent to the city lord's private soldiers.

The empire certainly does not want the city lord to dominate alone, and even create a "country within a country" within the empire, so it came up with the idea of ​​setting up a city lord and two commanders in cities above the town. The city lord and the commander not only manage the city at the same time, but also have the function of mutual supervision and checks and balances.

In addition, the city lord will have a considerable burden to train a large number of warriors at the same time, and the existence of the commander will help him share some of the burden. At the beginning, An Xiong of Yancheng and the commander Zhang Yu were typical city lords and commanders in Ye Lin.

In this regard, Licheng is relatively special. The city lord is Niuqiu, and the commanders are Lao Bu and Lao Shi. Not only do these three people belong to the same party, but the city lord directly handed over all the city affairs to Lao Bu and Lao Shi. Obviously, such a city is a special case in the Ye Lin Empire.

On the back of the Fire Cloud Eagle in the center, a middle-aged man in a green robe was standing proudly in front. This man's appearance is different from other people in the Ye Lin Empire. He has a high nose and deep eyes, and the contours on his face are as obvious as a knife and an axe. If you look closely, you will find that he also has a pair of blue pupils.

What is unexpected is that on the back of the Fire Cloud Eagle, which only high-level figures in the Ye Lin Empire can ride, there will be a person from the prairie, and judging from his identity, he has a high status among this group of people.

The middle-aged man had a long breath, but no spiritual energy could be felt on his body surface. However, if you really stood beside him, you could feel an invisible pressure.

"Lord Borka, we have too little information. The situation in Licheng is not clear. If we transfer more than 300 people at once, will the county city be too empty? And..."

Beside the man in green robe, there was a middle-aged woman. The woman looked about 37 or 38 years old, but if you look at her eyes and eyebrows, she seemed to be older.

She didn't finish her words, but secretly raised her eyes to look at the middle-aged man, as if she wanted to judge the other party's reaction in this way, and seemed to make a gesture of questioning in this way.

But just these words have revealed the identity of the man in front of him, Borka, the governor of Donglin County. As the governor of Donglin County, which has the largest area and the most special region in Yelin, Borka's identity has always been very important.

He is a man of the prairie, or in other words, the blood of the prairie people flows in his blood, but his relationship with the prairie is just like that. At the beginning, Berka was born in a caravan. This caravan was trading from the prairie to Ye Lin, but it was robbed and robbed when it passed through the chaotic land.

Although all the people in the caravan were killed, Berka, who was less than a month old at the time, survived. He was rescued by a senior figure in Ye Lin and raised as an adult. Except for his appearance and original name, Berka actually has nothing to do with the prairie anymore.

His eyes were still fixed on the distance, but in the end he slowly said: "If you have anything to say... just say it."

As if she had gotten used to the other party's lukewarm attitude, the woman continued: "And now there is only Commander Xing in Juncheng, and this guy is not trustworthy."

His eyebrows slowly frowned, and a trace of irritability flashed across Berka's face. I don't know if it was because the woman mentioned Commander Xing that made him feel bad, or because the woman's words made him annoyed.

The woman was a smart person. She tactfully did not continue the previous topic and changed the subject, saying, "It would be fine if Lao Shi did not come to deliver the message. We don't know if that subordinate can be trusted or not. We don't even know what Niu Qiu and the others are doing. They just said that something big happened in Licheng and we mobilized more than half of the forces in the county city for this."

To this, Borka said confidently: "You know the significance of Licheng's existence, and you also know how important the 'Eight Gates Locking Formation' is. As long as it involves that formation, it should not be a trivial matter. I can tolerate the fact that Niuqiu is doing something behind the scenes, but if he still hides something about the 'Eight Gates Locking Formation', I will never let him go."

As he spoke, a fierce look flashed across Borka's face. It was obvious that he had long been dissatisfied with Niuqiu, but due to some special reasons, he had not yet gotten angry until today.

The speed of the Fire Cloud Eagle was neither fast nor slow. After leaving the county city, it headed east all the way. Their destination was the Licheng. The distance between the two cities was not short, but it didn't take too long to ride the Fire Cloud Eagle. A rough calculation of the distance showed that they could arrive within half an hour.

After Borka finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. The woman secretly glanced at him. It seemed that she was still a little unwilling, but after opening her mouth, she finally chose to give up and retreated obediently.

…

The brothers Li Lei and Li Xiao hid in a secluded place. After a simple study, they decided to rescue people at this time.

Although there were still a group of people in the inn, after discussing, the two felt that it would be both advantageous and disadvantageous to let these people join. The advantage is that in a head-on conflict, they can ensure safe evacuation.

However, there are also certain disadvantages, that is, so many people sneaking in are more likely to be exposed, and the target is bigger when evacuating. After all, this is the opponent's territory. It doesn't mean that you are safe after escaping from the city lord's mansion. So after weighing the two aspects, the two brothers think that it is a good decision to rescue people directly now.

The two brothers cooperated tacitly. Once they made a decision, they no longer hesitated. When they just came here, they had already felt the surrounding environment and personnel arrangements.

First, pay attention to the warriors on the high towers on both sides. These two people are in the best position here. No matter from which direction to sneak in, as long as the two people open their eyes and observe, no one can sneak in silently.

However, Li Lei and Li Xiao have been paying close attention. The two warriors standing on the tower only glanced around from time to time.

It was noon, and the sun was the brightest. Although the two people had a good vision, they were unwilling to stare outside all the time. There was only one reason: the sun was dazzling.

The light around was too strong. If they kept observing the surrounding situation, they would feel sore and painful in their eyes after a while. At this time, the two people were thinking. 'Anyway, there is still someone watching, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little lazy.' With this mentality, the two people naturally became more absent-minded.

Li Lei and Li Xiao first lurked carefully. There were no windows in the outer circle of this courtyard, and it looked like a wall. This was to prevent people from sneaking in, and at the same time, they didn't want people to see the situation inside from the outside.

Such a building is actually more beneficial to Li Lei and the others, because if there are windows, it is actually difficult to see clearly from the outside to the inside, but it is clearer from the inside to the outside.

Li Lei and Li Xiao moved as lightly as monkeys, flying close to the ground quickly. Relying solely on the explosive power of their bodies, their speed was no less than that of a general late-stage Naqi stage expert using spiritual energy to move.

At such a fast speed, without any spiritual energy fluctuations, even the sentries around did not notice any abnormality.

After a few breaths, the two had arrived outside the courtyard. The courtyard covered an area of ​​about one acre. Because it was built in a ring structure, it was impossible to know the situation inside from the outside. However, the houses were not completely connected, and there were still gaps at the corners of the houses.

Probably the people who built the houses at the beginning did not expect that someone would be able to lurk in this position, but now two people have successfully arrived here.

Li Lei and Li Xiao were bold and careful at the same time. They lay by the wall and listened for a while. Then they chose the gap when the two sentries withdrew their eyes at the same time, and quickly turned over and jumped into the courtyard.

There were indeed layers of arrangements outside the courtyard. Although it was not impervious to wind and rain, it could be said to be quite tight. But now that they entered the courtyard, they found that there were very few warriors here, and those warriors were all women.

Although they had a little doubt in their hearts, they soon realized that one of the rooms was definitely the place where important people were imprisoned. Just look at the arrangement of those warriors, especially the female warriors, who would look towards that room from time to time, obviously caring about the people imprisoned there.
