Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 2: Steel pterosaur group
The rebellion of the mountain people had already been foreshadowed.
It is different from the Sequoia natives who think that the empire is nothing more than a big tribe, and the struggle between the two sides is essentially a conquest between tribes.
Because there are more people in the mountains, and they have been united under the belief of the Dragon God in the past, there has always been a call for 'independent founding of the country'.
This part of the mountain people believes that the proud people of the Dragon God should never become vassals of the empire. Even if they cannot become independent, they should build a large autonomous region of mountain people with a group of frozen fortresses, where the strongest of the mountain people will be responsible. leader.
They refused to pay taxes to the empire, lived scattered among the forests of the Baisen Mountains, followed ancient traditions, and lived an independent life.
Because the area where they live is poor, the empire has never been interested in eradicating them. Even if there are occasional good things, it is nothing more than relying on the channels of the autonomous region and several colonies to use food, salt, iron and various tools to fight against these rebels. The mountain people trade.
The most important thing is that the empire has deprived the mountain people of the inheritance of becoming the third or even the fourth energy level. The rebellious mountain people have always existed, but they have no corresponding power foundation to change anything.
In contrast, although the empire deprived the mountain people of their inheritance of the third and fourth energy levels, it did not discriminate against the mountain people.
In the Cangyun Knights, there is even a mountain knight of the third energy level as the law enforcement officer, with a very high status.
However, the self-identity of this mountain dweller is that of the "mountain tribe under the rule of the empire", not the people of Baisen Dragon God.
This is not surprising. After all, Baisen Dragon God has been away for too long, no matter how strong the ancient beliefs are, they will fade away, and eventually become myths and legends, one story after another.
Many people have already seen this.
Elder Manya is one of them.
Although it sounds a bit strange, Yin En can tell from his conversation with Elder Man Ya that although this old mountain man talks about the belief in Dragon God, he actually pursues power more.
He believes that the empire is a more advanced form of civilization, and it is okay to join the other party. He wants to recover the Book of Yinyao, in essence, he wants to obtain the true blood inheritance that is not restricted by the empire, and it is also to make himself This tribe has gained more benefits from the hands of the Dragon Worshiper.
Of course, Yin En also believes that Elder Manya has the idea of "borrowing Yinyao's book to order the mountain people" in his heart. He wanted to unite the now divided mountain tribes under the light of Dragon God's orthodoxy.
But this is not the same as the purpose of rebelling against the mountain people to establish an independent country.
The purpose of Elder Manya is to gather the mountain people and become one of the important political forces in Nanling, thereby influencing Nanling's political decision-making.
So, the rebellion is definitely not the group of mountain people of Elder Manya, Yin En can be sure of this.
But in this way, how did the rebellious mountain people who have neither the third level nor sufficient resources and organizational power make the situation in Nanling so corrupt?
"It's Flame Land."
Pieman team leader answered Yin En's doubts with a determined face: "Flying Flame gave those rebellious mountain people resources and weapons. They even had alchemy artillery and skilled musketeers. They are not opponents at all, so Wan Ling can know how long they have been planning."
This point is the same as the way to support the Sequoia natives.
Yin En remembered the gun-wielding natives he had killed around Port Harrison, he nodded and said: "The timing of the incident was also very ingenious, both the general and Captain Cang Yun went to the imperial capital, which has never happened before. I have been reminded that there must be traitors in the Governor's Mansion."
"High opinion, sir!" Piman said with admiration, "The colonel also said so, so we are chasing all kinds of clues!"
The colonel refers to the son of the Marquis of Barton Henriel, Mayova Henriel, the deputy commander of the 19th Army, who presided over matters related to Nanling after the Marquis of Barton went to the imperial capital.
"Father died at the hands of Fei Yanren's master when it was traced to the responsibility of making cakes?" Yin En glanced at him, and calmly said: "This is not your job, so don't be too high-level. Others Where is the patrolling knight?"
"This..." Piman obviously couldn't answer this question, how could he know the movements of the other patrolling knights?
Yin En believes that this has something to do with the fact that the rebellious mountain people dared to rebel - without a fourth energy level, even with the support of Feiyan and the provision of weapons and equipment, those rebellious mountain people would definitely not be able to stop Barton The attack of the Marquis' knights and patrol knights.
Not to mention that the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect is still an ally of the empire, and the King of the Mountain also hates Feiyandi because of Xiou's incident.
"Take me to the Governor's Mansion."
With thoughts flashing in his heart, Yin En raised his head and signaled the guard knight to leave the place: "I have something to report to the Colonel."
Since there are instructions from the superiors, Piman certainly will not insist on pestering the manager of the pastry shop.
The manager of the pastry shop looked in shock at the scene where the team of guarding knights obediently led the team away under Yin En's scolding. The local spies got involved.
But this is actually the norm in Nanling. The elusive spies and insiders of the flying flames have greatly disrupted the normal production and work in the surrounding areas of Nauman City. Although it sounds a little ridiculous, they will really destroy the waterwheel mill, castrate the bull, dig the canal, and destroy the important plantation area. Pour salt on the ground.
As for shaking egg yolks, slapping earthworms vertically, and slapping passing children...of course they would not do such things, but they have basically become standard features in folk stories.
"Why is there no news of the mountain people's rebellion in the imperial capital? I didn't even hear it in the golden field."
Yin En asked on the way to the Governor's Mansion. He didn't intend to get an answer. After all, for guard knights like Piman, if they don't know, they don't know. Anyway, they only follow the instructions from above.
Who knows, this knight actually had an answer: "Of course it's because of the big meeting. Sir, you are still young and very talented, so you probably don't know these tricks?"
"How could it be possible to report this kind of news to the outside world and above during the meeting in the imperial capital, not to mention that it didn't affect the agate stone plain, so it's not a big deal."
"When the general returns, these things will stop."
——This is also... too realistic.
Blinking his eyes, Yin En felt an overly realistic absurdity in his heart - he didn't expect that Terra would have a tradition of not having any major events during the national convention, and that such things as the mountain people's rebellion could be concealed?
It's not a big deal if there is no problem around the agate stone plain... Who came up with the idea?
Yin En doesn't want to know the answer to this question.
Piman and other knights led the way, and the group entered Nauman City without hindrance.
With Yin En's identity and reputation, some people in Nauman City know him.
Especially the Marquis of Barton would occasionally mention Yin En. Everyone knows that the Marquis of Barton has a very promising alchemist of the White People, and even let him join the patrol at a young age of less than 20 years old. Overseer Knights.
Now that the sky is dark, there are more pedestrians on the street. Now that food is more expensive and the price of wine has also risen, the streets of Nauman City have many more seafood stalls, mainly shell fish, occupying the market. It is difficult to think of such a thing as expensive in Nauman City, and it can be regarded as filling the gap in the current market.
There are quite a few knights patrolling the streets, and their armor is also exceptionally elite, with a laminated armor design. Yin En even saw two armors at the bridge guard in the upper city, both of which were brand new.
Obviously, the full-scale confrontation with Feiyandi put a lot of pressure on Nanling, and Nauman City almost took out all the equipment at the bottom of the box.
All the way to the Governor's Mansion, Piman and others resigned, and they did not have the authority to enter it.
Yin En waited for the gate guard to pass the news to the governor's mansion, and the officer guarding the gate could not help showing a look of surprise when he saw that the inspector knight in the summons was such a handsome young man from the White People.
"Please wait."
After confirming Yin En's Inspector Knight Medal and the letter of appointment of Lord Barton and His Royal Highness Mikael, he respectfully said: "I will report now."
A few minutes later, Yin En received a reply: "Please come in, the colonel is waiting for you."
After all, I have been here once, and there is a map in the silver chip, so when Yin En was led to the governor's office, he still had time to observe some people in the governor's mansion.
Different from the time when the Marquis of Barton was there, there are no more than a dozen people monitoring each area from various angles in the Governor's Mansion today. There are not even many knights, and the manpower is extremely empty.
Just looking at it like this, Yin En directly saw a bright red target representing hostility in the office area on the first floor.
"Ouch."
Yin Enxin said: "A spy is working in the Governor's Mansion so blatantly? He is really not afraid of death, and without the Marquis of Barton and his group of elite knights, what is left is rotten fish and shrimps, so Can't even find the obvious target?"
This is exactly one of the reasons why he wanted to come to the Governor's Mansion. After Yin En speculated that there were spies inside the Governor's Mansion, he planned to use his psychic power to see if he could find some clues, but he didn't think about it.
That's what I said, but other people don't have a vision of vision, so who can hide from the prophet? But Yin En took a closer look and found the clue: "Wait... Isn't this a flesh-and-blood shapeshifter?"
"It turned out that it parasitized an employee? It seems that I misunderstood the governor's mansion. This monster has a very strong ability to disguise and replace. I didn't expect that Feiyandi has already used it now."
The flesh-and-blood shapeshifter is a monster that Yin En encountered in the space maze of Avakland. With its extremely powerful parasitic ability, it killed two members of the Huaiguang Rescue Team.
This kind of shapeshifter can read the brain memory of a low-level sublimator, and then simulate it perfectly, without any shortcomings except for the abnormal weight.
Yin En made up his mind to tell Colonel Mayova about this problem when he met with him later.
It seems that Feiyan Land is not without any gains in the Avak Territory. Some of the materials may have been sent back before the birth of the Dead King.
With all kinds of thoughts in his heart, Yin En came to the office of the Governor's Mansion.
In the office, a thin brown-haired middle-aged man stood up and shook hands with Yin En with a smile.
"Sure enough, being famous is worse than meeting."
Colonel Mayova said softly: "Mr. Yin En, you must know who I am, so you don't need to introduce yourself. I heard that you left the imperial capital two weeks ago, why are you only now at Nanling?"
Because of the Marquis of Barton, Yin En was very unimpressed by his smiling and friendly response, and even thought in his heart, 'Is this trying to trick me again? '.
"Report sir." So he replied impeccably: "Part of it is related to the mission, and part of it is to observe the current situation in Nanling and prepare for the next management of the territory."
He said this, one is to stop the other party from continuing to ask, and the other is to bring up the next topic.
But at present, Colonel Mayova's skills are not as deep as his father's, he just nodded slightly, motioned Yin En to sit on the sofa beside him, and he himself sat back behind the desk: "I can understand. In the half a year since you left, the situation in Nanling has been changing, and the situation is already very chaotic, so there is nothing wrong with you wanting to see the situation with your own eyes."
"I guess, you didn't come here to see me, but to contact your father. But from your expression, you seem to have other things to report or ask me?"
Colonel Mayova spoke unexpectedly straightforwardly. It seems that the father of a Riddler and a Tempter may not necessarily raise the same kind of son, but another completely opposite offspring.
Yin En was very happy to talk to this kind of person, he nodded solemnly, and asked: "Yes, sir. My territory, a knight's collar that came to An'an, has now been lost due to the mountain people's rebellion Contact, I want to know why the mountain people, who theoretically do not have any high-end military power, dare to show their teeth to the empire."
"Even with the support of Flameland, they shouldn't be so bold when the fourth energy level can't make a move."
"Besides, I have a guess about Flameland spies and I want to report to you."
"Indeed. You came here to inherit the territory, but you just happened to encounter this kind of thing."
Colonel Mayova is indeed a straightforward person. He knocked on the table with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he confirmed that Yin En did meet the conditions for knowing this information, and then told him everything.
Nearly three months ago, on the northwest side of the Baisen Mountain Range, which is where it intersects with the Absalom Mountain Range in the Flame Land, a dragon chant suddenly came.
That was not the voice of the King of the Mountain, but the voice of another dragon. This matter has aroused the high level of vigilance of the Governor's Mansion, and the Dragon Worshipers are also extremely concerned about it.
After that, the beasts in the Baisen Mountains became extremely active, and the large-scale spread of biological viruses also occurred at that time, and batches of frenzied monsters attacked the tribes and villages of the mountain people, and the empire colonies and the Shanmin Autonomous Region were hit hard.
Naturally, the king of the mountain does not allow this kind of thing to happen. She took the initiative to investigate the root cause of these things, but found the possible ancient dragon ruins deep in the mountains, so she went to investigate, but found that it was exactly an accident. The ambush was delayed for a long time.
"It's a steel pterosaur."
Colonel Mayova told the truth: "It was the group of steel pterosaurs in the Abassalom Mountains who migrated here, causing all the consequences that followed."
The steel pterosaur group in the Abassalom Mountains is a powerful group of monsters in the towering mountains between Feiyandi and the Empire. Among them, the steel pterosaur dragon king is a beast of the fourth energy level, although its strength is inferior But unlike the real dragons that often travel alone, the steel pterosaur itself is a creature that is used to moving in groups, and they always advance and retreat together.
Feiyandi secretly opened the mountain passage between the empire and itself. Both the empire and other countries believed that Feiyandi should have paid a huge price to eliminate the group of evil beasts entrenched in the mountains.
But the actual situation is that Feiyandi made a deal with the dragon group. Feiyandi assisted the king of the steel pterosaur to transform into a real dragon, at least with part of the blood of the real dragon, and the steel pterosaur dragon group wanted to help the flying dragon Allegiance to Flame.
A reasonable deal.
The chaos in Nanling is essentially due to the group of steel pterosaurs who suddenly migrated here from the distant mountains. They carried a large number of biological warfare viruses and pests, and easily defeated the mountains far away from the center of the Nanling of the Empire. With the help of Feiyandi, the strength of the steel pterosaur dragon king has gone a step further, even comparable to a real dragon.
They migrated to South Ridge.
This is the truth of the matter - behind the rebellious mountain people in Nanling, there is not nothing, but a group of extremely powerful dragon beasts, a real dragon-level beast of the fourth energy level.
The rebellious mountain people call the other party their true worship object, the new Baisen Dragon God in the future.
Basically, the powerful sublimators of Nanling and the sublimators of the military have gone deep into the inner side of the Baisen Mountains to help stabilize the state and order in those autonomous regions that are still resisting and supporting the empire.
This is also the reason why Yin En didn't see any patrolling knights and the private guard of the Marquis of Barton along the way.
They all went to the depths of the mountains to fight against the dragons.
