Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

Chapter 38 Times have changed
"hurry up!"

"The general has an order that these checkpoints must be strictly guarded and no one is allowed to pass!"

In the royal capital, apart from the imperial palace, the highest-organized, largest-occupied and most luxurious is the Grand General's Mansion in the west of the city.

Yan Wuxie has lived here all year round, his power is overwhelming, it is heard that someone killed him, and he is also a master in the magic weapon spectrum.

So a piece of military order went directly to the camp of the imperial guards guarding the king's capital.

At this moment, three thousand armored imperial guards have been mobilized, and several street intersections around have been set up to resist horses and heavily guarded.

On the attic of a high platform nearby, there is a crossbowman crouching down, his feathered arrow has already been wound, and the arrow has turned black, obviously poisoned.

The bustling streets in the past are now extremely depressed. The doors and windows of the residents on the street are closed, and they dare not go out on the street at all, otherwise they will be arrested as spies.

Inside the General's Mansion, a middle-aged scribe with a soft face shook his folding fan and listened to a school captain's report, and snorted softly.

"The thieves who came to assassinate the general this time are of extraordinary strength. They must not be treated as ordinary gangsters. Make your subordinates widen their eyes and defend themselves!"

"Otherwise, if there is even the slightest mistake in the General's Mansion, it will be a death penalty for destroying the three clans!"

"Captain Zhao, do you understand?"

Lieutenant Zhao, who was as strong as a calf, was staring straight at the ground at this moment, and his whole body was trembling slightly, causing the armor on his body to make a clattering sound.

He swallowed hard, but when he thought of the net that he had set up, confidence surged out of nowhere, and he clasped his fists and said:

"The humble official knows the pros and cons, please rest assured, sir, the general's mansion is impenetrable, and the thieves will never come back!"

After the captain finished speaking, the middle-aged scribe took a sip of tea slowly, looked up, but saw that Captain Zhao was still standing there hesitantly, and couldn't help frowning.

"Well, sir, have you received the things I sent someone to your house a few days ago, and are you satisfied?"

Lieutenant Zhao gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.

The middle-aged scribe paused, clicked his tongue, stared at the poor guy in front of him, and said, "So that piece of blood coral was sent by you. It's rare to have a bit of aura, which is quite to my liking."

"Hey, as long as you like it, sir, as long as you like it."

Captain Zhao squeezed out a smile. Although he didn't know what aura meant, he thought it was the right thing to send.

"For the sake of this blood coral, I will give you a chance."

"Sir, are you willing to give me some good words in the prince's ear to help me get promoted?"

"What you gave is not enough."

The middle-aged scribe twitched his mouth slightly, shook his head in Captain Zhao's disappointed eyes, and said unintentionally:

"The opportunity I'm talking about means that now someone can replace you to garrison the General's Mansion, avoiding many risks. I don't know what you want."

Xiaowei Zhao's heart trembled, he just thought that the middle-aged scribe didn't want to help, so he found an excuse to use up the favor.

Although there are heavy penalties for guard failure, if you perform well, you may not be able to catch Yan Wuxie's eyes.

Thinking of the future glory and wealth, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but the brothers in the humble rank have confidence. The three thousand armored sergeants are all elite, armed with good bows and crossbows. Even if several innate masters come together, they will definitely not be able to please them!"

After finishing speaking, Captain Zhao clasped his fists and saluted, and strode away.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged scribe shook his head behind him, drinking tea and scolding "stupid cow".

I really didn't expect that there are people scrambling to do the drudgery that consumes the life of a mortal and consumes the mana of a cultivator. This is the charm of power.

Walking out of the General's Mansion, Captain Zhao seemed to have lifted a huge rock from his heart. He turned around and glanced at the majestic gate, and took a deep breath.

I am about to leave here and go to the surrounding area to check the situation of the defense.

Suddenly, a loud thunderclap came from a distance, and then the earth trembled, a cloud of black smoke rose from a distance, and there was a faint echo of screams.

Captain Zhao's feet were unsteady and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he is also a top-notch expert with a solid base, and he quickly recovered.

Looking at the panic-stricken soldiers around him, he also felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still denounced majesticly:

"Don't panic, hold on!"

"Maybe the thief used some kind of trick, nothing to worry about!"

Colonel Zhao, who has been gaining power for a long time on weekdays, is still somewhat capable, and rushed all the way to the explosion site. He also heard that some sects in the world are good at using secret medicines that can create the sound of thunder.

However, this kind of secret medicine is not only complicated to make and difficult to store, but also has very scattered lethality, and the slightest carelessness will hurt the user himself.

It's not an opponent of the army at all, it can only fool some country women.

"Master Captain, your horse and weapons!"

An attendant stopped Zhao Xiaowei with a fine horse with a large Xuanhua ax hanging from the horse.

"Just in time!"

Xiaowei Zhao's eyes lit up, he put on his horse, and the muscles in his right hand bulged, and he carried a big axe, crossing the wide street, and the horse's hooves brought a strong impact.

He is a military commander, and only with horses and weapons can he display his greatest strength. He is an innate master. At this moment, when he is charging, he must temporarily avoid the edge!

Captain Zhao's horse was very fast, and soon came to the place, and saw a street entrance that was heavily guarded by soldiers, but now there was a huge charred black hole on the ground, more than three feet deep.

A dozen or so armored guards covered in blood fell to the side of the road like rag dolls, as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer.

The rest of the imperial guards gathered into a group, holding spears, looking ahead in fear, like a frightened bird.

"Where is the enemy?"

Captain Zhao brandished an axe, roared with wide eyes, but found no trace of the enemy around.

At this moment, he heard a rumbling sound coming from the end of the street, like an angry monster approaching.

The horse under him snorted a few times uneasily, pawed its hooves, if Captain Zhao hadn't pulled the reins, he might have fled away.

"That's... what the hell!"

Suddenly, Xiaowei Zhao looked dazed and frightened, and saw a monster in full body armor appearing at the end of the wide and classical streets of the capital.

This monster was black in body and huge in size. Once it appeared, it almost filled the entire street. There were several pairs of wheels on the sides, and the wheels were covered with iron armor shaped like crawlers.

Almost a mobile fortress.

I didn't see any war beasts pulling it, but it moved vigorously. In an instant, it was like a giant elephant stepping on the ground, shaking the ground with sand and soil, and even the bricks along the way were crushed.

"Maybe there is a powerful martial artist hidden in this iron-clad fortress? Do you think that hiding in it will make you invincible? Playing tricks, you really want to die!"

Xiaowei Zhao's hands and feet were cold, but he quickly thought of a possibility, so he forced the horse to charge up, swinging the Xuanhua battle ax vigorously in his hand.

However, when he rushed in front of the iron-clad monster, Captain Zhao didn't know where to attack, he slashed at it indiscriminately, leaving only a shallow mark on the monster's front fender, drawing out a streak of sparks.

Just as Colonel Zhao was in a daze, the iron-clad monster was unceremonious and rushed over directly. The caterpillar first rolled the horse's hoof in, and then tore the rider on it off the horse.

"No, no, no!"

Captain Zhao's foot got stuck in the stirrup, and he yelled suddenly.

Trying to block the wheel with the Xuanhua axe, the weapon made of fine iron was immediately deformed under heavy pressure and twisted into a mass of scrap iron.

Afterwards, without even holding a breath, he was directly crushed under the tracks by the iron-clad monster running at full speed.

Captain Zhao let out a short scream, and then fell silent, leaving only a pool of bloodstains on the road.

If there was a Blue Star person here, he would be able to recognize that the iron-clad monster running rampant here, something that the people of Yan Kingdom had never heard of, was a modern tank, and there were many traces of special improvements.

Thicker armor, more power, bigger barrel!
Inside the tank, Liang Xiao flipped through a tank driver's manual while instructing Qin Long and Pandora to operate the big guy, hardly noticing the movement outside.

"Liang Xiao, this is the mechanism puppet you brought back from your previous trip? The structure is so strange that it doesn't consume mana at all, and it doesn't need spirit stones to drive it."

Qin Long revealed an interesting look, and took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, and operated various organs according to Liang Xiao's instructions. The practitioner's reaction was very fast, so it took a while to operate in a decent manner.

But she quickly felt a little jolt of the tank, and wondered: "But how does this mechanism puppet detect the outside? I seem to have bumped into something just now. Have we been attacked?"
