Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 637: Warm flint
While the first unit of the Fifth West Army was preparing to capture Dongwang, accidents occurred frequently on all fronts of the recapture army.
Various small and powerful groups appeared one after another behind the army, like mosquitoes constantly hovering in the air.
If you hit it, it may buzz away; if you don't hit it, it will bite you left or right, and in a short time you will be bitten all over your body.
Faced with these small groups, different front armies adopted different strategies.
Some, like Yang Yu and his unit, sent out some elites to counterattack; others thought it was not painful and continued to accumulate strength, preparing to launch a quick attack until the areas that should be recaptured were recaptured. , and then clear out the harassing troops in the rear.
Different strategies achieved different results, but in the end they did not slow down the army's recapture speed.
At least, towards the end of the year, half of the Fengmang area in the Serovomen Plains had been recaptured, which gave a great boost to morale.
But being so smooth is not a good thing.
I don’t know who spread the rumor, "Humans must have seen us gathering so many troops, they must be afraid, and they don’t need to march so cautiously." The rumor started to spread among the army.
Although General Zhenguo suppressed the rumors by decapitating people to disturb the morale of the troops, he could feel that someone's attitude changed in every meeting.
The attack after the New Year may become an important turning point. As for which way it will turn, General Zhenguo cannot yet confirm.
The elite troops sent by the first unit of the Fifth West Army patrolled the vast plains aimlessly for several days, but still did not see the elite troops sent by Luo Ze.
If Yang Yu had speculated before, the personnel of that elite force had been fixed.
As long as there are no personnel changes or self-degradation, their number will only become smaller and smaller.
There are still thirty Luo Ze elites who are fighting against Yang Yu and the others. This number is not enough to lower their status and make it impossible to do what they could have done.
In other words, even if there is another encounter, the Luo Ze elite team should only send thirty people.
After discussing with the Luhua Army, Kunya finally decided to leave around a hundred top elites to continue patrolling to prevent any problems in the rear.
The remaining people will hand over the command to Yang Yu, and he will lead them back to participate in the attack on Dongwang City.
Luhuajun also told Yang Yu that Mingdalak had sent him the medical supplies he needed, and hoped that he would be able to use them immediately when he came back, without delaying his visit to the city.
Hearing that the racial essence rewarded by His Majesty has finally arrived, Yang Yu has been impatient for a long time.
After repelling so many Luo Ze elites, his level has already reached seventy-nine. This time he doesn't have to worry about the level limit and won't gain experience.
Without saying a word, Yang Yu led the troops on a rapid march and returned to the fifth unit of the Fifth West Army.
In front of the tall black city wall, green tents were spread out in the snow, and countless soldiers were practicing in an orderly manner.
There are far twice as many people here as when Yang Yu left.
Because Yang Yu and the others eliminated the Luo Ze elite, the second unit of the Fifth West Army was able to successfully merge with the first unit.
It is a pity that the third unit of the Fifth West Army, whether it is the rear or the city that needs to be conquered, seems to be helpless, and there is no way to attack the city together with the Luhua Army.
Leading the troops into the camp, Yang Yu saw some strange Asians following the troops in progress.
The faces of those people were covered with black scales, extending from the corners of their eyes to the base of their ears, forming a black half-moon shape. They were dragging a swollen lizard tail with jagged black patterns on the tail.
The most impressive thing is that these lizard people, regardless of gender, have a pair of large orange eyes with vertical pupils, which are bright and bright, but they also make people feel weird and mysterious.
"Welcome back. Thank you for your hard work."
After learning that Yang Yu and the others were back, Lu Huajun appeared in front of Yang Yu and the others with a pipe in his mouth,
"They are members of the striped gecko clan. They are extremely good at rock climbing with bare hands. They are helpers sent by Prime Minister Mindalak."
“I can’t believe that a striped gecko can move freely in such weather.”
"Generally speaking, this kind of weather is really not suitable for striped gecko activities."
Luhuajun blew out a thick smoke ring, put his hand into his clothes, and grabbed a black pebble,
"It's hard to explain in detail. Stretch out your hand."
Stretching out his hand and taking the black stone, Yang Yu instantly felt a warmth coming from the center of his palm. He opened the panel and saw the three characters "Warm Fire Stone".
"This is..."
"The tongues of the striped geckos can curl. They roll this stone into their mouths to maintain body temperature."
For some unknown reason, Yang Yu held the stone tightly, and his whole body suddenly became colder. If he could keep holding this stone in battle, he would no longer have to worry about being frostbitten by the cold in Cerrovo Gate.
"I see, then where does this stone come from? The Luoze Empire must not let this material be obtained."
"You don't need to worry about this, this is the treasure of the Blazing Clan."
At this point, Luhuajun paused for a while, thought about it, and finally decided to tell Yang Yu the truth about this thing,
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say so.
Each race will have its own unique festivals and rituals.
For the Blazing Fire clan, their most important festival is the Fire Festival.
On that day, the celebration volcano will produce incredibly high temperatures, which will resonate with the flames on their bodies, causing the flames on their bodies to turn an unprecedented bright white.
They will use the hot flames to remove filth and pray for the blessings of their ancestors. ”
What Luhuajun said is almost the same as the information Yang Yu found. After all, the Blazing Fire Tribe is also among the racial essence he wants to obtain.
"I have heard a little bit about this. What does this have to do with stones."
Lu Huajun took a deep breath from the pipe, and the smoke leaked from his mouth to both sides,
"All those filthy things... also include their clan members who died last year..."
Looking at the black stone in his hand, Yang Yu felt a little uncomfortable and tentatively said: "This stone cannot be theirs..."
"No." After the smoke in his mouth dissipated, Luhuajun explained: "This is the stone underneath the corpse of their clansman."
"..."
The scene was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. Yang Yu took a breath,
"Well...General of the Luhua Army, you see we have captured so many clothes from the Luoze Empire, I think I can just use that one."
"There is nothing unlucky." Lu Huajun raised his pipe and tapped Yang Yu lightly, "Different races have completely different attitudes towards death.
The Blazing Fire Tribe rarely gets sick, and their deaths are all normal.
For them, death is another beginning, so that festival was named Fire Festival. ”
