   Chapter 690 bow to me (6600)

  Frodo Borough, Fangorn Gap.

  A decisive battle is about to break out, and the mountain people's rebellion that lasted for half a year is now coming to an end.

  The mountain people who want to be independent, and the mountain people who are not willing to rebel, with the support of Flame Land and the Empire respectively, use the flesh and blood of their people to fight a war that wins or loses, and both sides lose.

  Behind the Fagon Gap, there is an independent command post for mountain people.

   The noisy voices sounded chaotically, as if they were arguing about something.

   In theory, it shouldn't be.

  Even though Ke De Jiamu, the commander-in-chief, suddenly left because of the mutation of the Steel Dragon Nest, besides Ke De Jiamu, there are many chiefs of the tribes, many of whom are highly respected and can convince all tribes.

   Among other things, Ole Ronggang, the chief of the Ronggang Department, is such a character.

  As the chief of the big tribe after the Jiamu tribe, and also the opponent's deputy all along, Ole Ronggang took over the command of the independent mountain people after Ke De left.

  But what is uncharacteristically is that this mountain man, who was quite loyal and reliable in the past and gave people a sense of security, did not give any command orders after Ke De left, but let the independent mountain people move freely.

The Independent Mountain People's Coalition Army was originally an alliance composed of several large tribes and dozens of small and medium-sized tribes. In the past, its actions were very loose. It was not until the third energy level was the leader that it could be regarded as a ban on actions, and it cultivated fighting habits. , can barely be regarded as a local militia force.

  But on the eve of the decisive battle, this army lost its command, and many tribes' troops became loose again.

  In addition, for some reason, the fact that the leader Ke De left because of the steel dragon nest mutation, which should have been hidden, was suddenly spread, which made the entire independent mountain camp a little panicked.

   "Olei! We must go to war immediately. Those imperial lackeys are now gathering troops, showing a lot of flaws!"

   "Don't wait for Kodd any longer, the steel pterosaurs from Flaming Land will come to help us hold Manya back—if we don't attack, we will delay the fighter plane, and our own hearts will be scattered!"

   Facing other tribal chiefs who demanded to fight immediately, all Aore did was frown and said in a calm tone: "Wait a little longer."

   "The steel pterosaur hasn't arrived yet, and the leader of Kodd hasn't returned yet. If we start a war rashly now, we can only lose."

   This is true.

The steel pterosaur hunting team that was supposed to come to support the independent mountain people immediately after the raid on Xiahui's territory has not been heard yet, and if Ke De did not come back, all of them may have to fight against Man Ya alone. a tie.

  Others expressed their acceptance.

   But after a while, similar Q&As popped up again and again.

   "The lackeys of the empire have already started preparing for the attack—Olei, if we can't wait, we will retreat to other checkpoints first! They can only defend the Frodo Autonomous Region. If we don't have enough people, we will continue to besiege. There is no need to rush to a decisive battle!"

   "Wait a little longer!" Ole replied solemnly: "Kod communicated with me just now, and he said he would be back soon!"

  Obviously, he is not psychic and can communicate with the dead. This is a 100% lie.

   But the others didn't know this, they were willing to believe in Ole, so they were patient and stayed in Fangorn Gap to wait for a while.

   But this kind of patience was quickly exhausted in the face of the enemy who had already started firing artillery, bombarding the independent mountain camp, and preparing to attack the position.

   This time, almost all the chief priests rushed to the camp of the temporary commander Aurei. They were extremely angry and demanded that the other party must give an answer immediately.

   "Fight or go!"

  The crowd roared, and what responded to them was Ole's even louder roar: "Hit!"

   "Steel Pterosaur and Chief Kord will be back soon, of course fight!"

   With clear instructions, although the position is still chaotic, all independent mountain tribes have begun to adjust to the battlefield situation.

   It seems that they are fighting independently, but with the help of a large number of heavy weapons supported by Feiyan, as long as the enemy's third energy level does not appear, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary troops to break through their positions in a short period of time.

  Olei Ronggang sat quietly in his seat after giving the order which was all lies.

  He is very clear that since Fei Yandi fully supported the mountain people with heavy weapons, many things cannot be changed.

  Even if the Independent Mountain People’s Alliance fails and ceases to exist, the mountain people have mastered a lot of advanced weapon manufacturing technology and related use skills. The originally peaceful Nanling will become chaotic and become a place of constant war.

   Among other things, the mountain bandits used to use bows and arrows and some firearms, but since then, even bandits may be able to set up a few small cannons to coerce the surrounding caravans to pay tolls.

"Feiyandi just wants to use our flesh and blood to bring a little 'governance' trouble to the empire... Hey, but this battle is not a bad thing, at least the empire can no longer ignore the existence of the mountain people, and aim at the mountain people. The policy of the people must be greatly changed, which is probably what the Marquis of Barton said, 'If you want to be recruited, you have to do big things first'."

The spy from Nauman City has now become the temporary boss of the Independent Mountain People's Alliance—it's really strange to say that as soon as Curd left, it was his turn to speak as a spy. I'm afraid the Marquis of Barton would never have imagined that such a thing would happen again. occur.

   And the next thing he has to do...

   "Notify all staff."

  Called the messenger, and Olei ordered: "We gather our formation, open the back door of the camp, retreat in an orderly manner, and go to the side of Fangorn Gap."

   "Ah? Chief, aren't we in the middle army..."

   The messenger was stunned for a moment. Although he shouldn't refute the chief's order, he was afraid that such an order would not be accepted by other soldiers, and he would have to run a few more times by himself.

   "We are Shock Troopers."

  Olei glanced at his messenger. Except for the priest, no one in the tribe knew that he was actually a spy of Nauman City.

  In fact, everyone in the tribe thought they were fighting for the great revival of the mountain people.

  Thinking of this, the straight-faced chief sighed: "Act first, then ask questions. The central army is in charge of the troops of the Jiamu Department. What we need is to attack the enemy's vulnerable areas at critical moments."

  The orderly left with an order that could only be considered passable, while the chief stared at the backs of his subordinates with a complicated expression.

  Regardless of victory or defeat, the reputation of the Ronggang Department is ruined.

  Whether it is the rebel mountain people or other pro-imperial mountain people, in their eyes, the Ronggang tribe is an object that cannot be trusted, and the blood of other mountain people stained by the Ronggang tribe will never be forgotten.

  For the mountain people, this is not something that can be done simply by saying 'I am an undercover agent'.

   Moreover, the people of their own tribe will also wonder which side they are from.

  The unshakable belief in their hearts is actually just a lie deliberately used by a chief to betray? This kind of thing is too ironic, no one can accept this ending.

   Outside the camp, a heavy rain has poured down, washing away the dust on the ground and turning it into mud.

  In the camp, Olei had already foreseen the chaos in the future. But he has no choice.

  Who told Ronggangbu to be too far away from the empire and too close to Jiamubu?

  However, these are indifferent things.

   After all, only the winning side deserves to talk about the future.

  The order after order was conveyed in the chaos, but when the forward troops of the rebel mountain people gathered together and launched a blocking bombing against the imperial mountain people with the support of their own artillery, an accident happened.

  Most of the artillery of the rebel mountain people failed to fire, and many ammunition could not be used at all, and even appeared to explode.

A captain of the vanguard missed the enemy in the first salvo, but his left arm was shattered by the blast of the alchemy weapon in his hand. He is still a sublimator. If he was an ordinary person, he would have only a pair of legs left up.

  Actually, the captain could have prevented it, but he never expected that such a low-end accident would happen to the very reliable flying flame equipment in the past.

  In a short period of time, they certainly didn't think that there was an inner ghost, and they only felt that they were unlucky.

   After fighting for less than half an hour, the forwards of the Imperial Mountain People broke through the first line of defense, and the rebel reserve team that was supposed to be on the top received the order ten minutes later because of confusion in command and Ole's intentional disruption of communication.

   And at this time, nothing has been done.

  Many rebel mountain chiefs were so angry that they almost cursed when they saw this scene. They didn't know why the battle suddenly became so difficult.

   You know, they were the ones who kept suppressing the imperial mountain people to fight! In a short period of time, almost all the autonomous regions and colonies in the mountains were captured, and now only the Frodo region remained, with the support of the South Sea Fleet still lingering.

   "Where's Rong Gang's troops?!"

After fighting for a long time, some mountain chiefs realized that the situation was wrong, and looked for the main force of their camp: "They are the main force, right? Where's their artillery? And the Feiyan firearms team! They, like the Jiamu Department, took Are they the best equipment?"

   "They're gone... No! They've retreated to the left of Fangorn Gap?!"

A few sharp-eyed priests saw this scene, and they turned pale with fright—the gorge was neither big nor small, and Rong Gang’s ability to retreat to the other side of the gorge within an hour was almost equivalent to a group of people originally We made an appointment to fight in a group at the crossroads, and when we fought, we saw someone had already run to the other side of the crossroads, as if they were almost running to the corner.

   "Why are you just watching, Rong Gangbu!"

   Even if some chiefs were angry and wanted to scold their mothers, they desperately called the communication equipment of the Ministry of Ronggang, but how could Ao Lei answer it?

  He led the restless troops to the safe area agreed with Elder Man Ya, and watched from the sidelines.

   "Chief, are we really just watching?"

  Many mountain soldiers in the army were very puzzled. They were originally prepared to fight to the last drop of blood for the independence and future of the mountain people, but it turned out that other people were fighting and bleeding, while they were watching.

"certainly."

  Olei calmly told the truth: "Because I am an undercover agent. In fact, we are on the side of the empire."

  He even looked around at his many stunned cronies, and asked humorously: "Surprised, surprised?"

  Too pleasantly surprised, too unexpected—if it wasn’t for the troops of Rong Gang’s department who had always believed in the chief, and in Terra, the second-level chief’s own combat power surpassed that of the troops they commanded, a mutiny might be inevitable.

But because the sublimators are so powerful, and because they are far away from the battlefield, Ao Lei easily suppressed the chaos in his army: "Don't be too shocked...Flying flames are just using us, and anyone who is smarter Everyone can see it, and the empire is unable to give us direct support in a short period of time due to various reasons, and the Jiamu Department is by our side, so we must keep this matter from everyone."

"Boys, can't you see it? The Jiamu Department has already swallowed the Zhenzhou and Tiechen Departments. If I hadn't been secretly contacting the empire to prevent our tribe from suffering losses and maintain complete strength, we would have followed Those two idiot tribes are expelled together."

   This is indeed true.

In the recent period, the Jiamu tribe has been expanding rapidly because of the chief of the third energy level. The Tiechen tribe and the Zhenzhou tribe are just the two most famous tribes it has eaten, and there are many small tribes quietly Disappeared without a sound, became a part of it.

  Due to the power of Ke De and Fei Yandi, the Independent Mountain People Alliance did not have much reaction in a short period of time. After all, a third energy level should indeed have a corresponding 'sphere of influence'.

   This is something that everyone tacitly agrees to and is ready for. No matter how big the appetite of Jiamubu is, at most they will swallow the Midra Autonomous Region. They can't go to other regions to forcibly occupy the territory, right?

  Kerong Gangbu couldn’t leave, their future was really worrying, and their chief woke up to this point, and the soldiers who were stunned by the mountain people’s nationalism calmed down, and somewhat understood what their chief was doing.

   But they remained silent, bewildered.

   Seeing this reaction, Ao Lei knew that there was no rush. Although he didn't care about the approval rate, if he couldn't let the people understand him, then even if it was about to usher in a new era, the Rong Gang Department would not be able to keep up.

   And just when he was going to strike while the iron was hot and say a few more words to strengthen his impression.

  Suddenly, at the other end of the sky, an extremely conspicuous arc of meteor lights up.

  Olei raised his head. He looked at the direction where the red-silver ray of light was shining. At first, his expression was a little puzzled, but soon he showed a dazed expression and laughed.

"look!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the sky in a relaxed manner: "Kod is gone, the steel pterosaur is not here, and Avod's cliff is right in front of our formation—so far, the first third energy level to arrive on the battlefield is also Not the reinforcements of Flameland, but the heirs of the King of the Mountain!"

   "From the very beginning, we have been abandoned sons of Feiyandi and Jiamube. They regard us as worthless. Why should we be responsible for them?"

   It wasn't just Rong Gang's department that was shocked.

  The entire rebel mountain army was panicked by the arrival of the strange dragon shadow.

Yes, basically none of them have seen the real face of the child of the King of the Mountain, but most of the chiefs know that the King of the Mountain has a weak heir. Not much difference.

  And now, the real dragon armed with steel prosthetic body descends on the battlefield, he is not the steel pterosaur or Ke De, the enemy has added a third energy level.

  This matter itself is enough to destroy everyone's morale.

   Even, some smart people have already thought whether the disappearance of the steel pterosaur and chief Kodd is related to the son of the king of the mountain...

   "Could it be that the reason why Chief Kodd and the Steel Pterosaur have not come is that they were intercepted and defeated by the children of the King of the Mountain?!"

  The commander of the rebellious mountain people exclaimed.

-right. Not quite right either.

  If Ian could know the wild thoughts of these mountain people, he would definitely agree loudly, and even spare the other party's life, just so that he can continue to spread such rumors.

  Yes, everyone was killed by Xiou, so what does it have to do with Ian? At most, it's just supporting on the sidelines, making a small contribution of 100 million points with potions and weapons!

   But now, he rode Siou, came to the sky above the battlefield, vibrated the air with the source matter, and made a thunderous announcement.

  【I am Ian Yinfeng, the lord of Xiahui, the emissary of the Dragon God-Kod Jiamu, the chief of the Jiamu tribe, is dead, and his head is in my hands! 】

  【The rebellious tribes of the mountain people, if they don’t want to be punished by thunder, they should surrender immediately, don’t make meaningless resistance, and commit suicide! 】

  Accompanied by this announcement, the cloudy clouds in the sky also erupted with bursts of thunder, and lightning and thunder criss-crossed across the top of the sky, and even fell to the ground, responding to the words of the Prophet of Thunder.

  Of course, it's actually Lightning Potion. However, there are already a lot of thunder in the rain cloud, and Ian just guides them.

  Listening to the announcement, looking up at the dragon shadow above his head, looking around at the artillery fire around him and the frequently malfunctioning firearms in his hands, many soldiers of the mountain people were momentarily dazed and then subconsciously stopped attacking.

   And at this moment, a figure descended vertically from the sky.

   Without any anti-shock posture, without any additional defense, the figure just dropped from a height of more than a thousand meters in the most standard standing posture, and landed in the center of the battlefield, setting off water mist and mud all over the sky.

  In an instant, whether it was nervousness or bewilderment, fear or joy, both sides in the battle focused their eyes on this place.

  And the young white people came out from the rain and fog.

   Waist-length white hair, light blue pupils, and a white-and-blue-striped cloak swaying in the wind, fluttering in the rain and mud, but not stained with any filth.

  Like a **** walking in the world.

  Shocked by the opponent's appearance, strength and posture, the entire battlefield seemed to be silent for a moment, but soon, everyone who cared saw what this young man held tightly in his hand.

  His hands held high the head of Kod Kamu with slightly opened eyes.

   "A truce. Or death."

Ian stood tall on the ground, and he looked around at everyone present. Even if hundreds of firearms and dozens of alchemy cannons were aimed at him, he turned a blind eye, as if he was not aimed at himself, but those tense mountains. Civilian soldiers: "The power to choose is in your own hands."

"what!"

   On the side of the rebellious mountain people, among the troops of the Jiamu Department, a soldier who had always worshiped Ke De suddenly let out a wild cry. He raised the gun in his hand, aimed at Ian and pulled the trigger.

  But Ian didn't care about it. He turned his head slightly and looked at the direction of the bullet from the corner of his eye.

   Then, an extremely fine ice blade condensed, sliced ​​through the warhead, and disappeared into the rain.

  The soldier who fired the bullet suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Starting from his head, the dense ice layer was spreading.

   In an instant, it turned into an ice sculpture.

  Ian didn't pay too much attention to such trivial matters. He walked in the center of the battlefield, with his back facing the direction of the imperial mountain people and facing the direction of the rebellious mountain people.

  Wherever he passed, the rain, cement, water, and snow accumulated on the battlefield all automatically solidified, forming a smooth and clean road under his feet, an ice road on the side of the South China Sea.

   "All rebellious mountain people, put down your weapons."

   "Surrender."

  Stepping on the ice-cast road so that everyone could see the head in his hand, Ian calmly made a second announcement: "Or death."

"It's him…"

   "The Prophet of Thunder...Dragon Blood..."

   "The lunatic who claimed to be the messenger of the Dragon God..."

   There were endless exclamations and discussions in the rebel mountain people's department, but facing the white-haired boy in front of them, they did not dare to make any attack or resistance.

There were only a few people, and the faces of Feiyan fighters and instructors hiding in the mountain army were changing. They looked at Ian solemnly, holding weapons tightly in their hands, not knowing whether they should make a move, and attacked this seemingly A very important imperial lord.

  Ian had discovered these special guys a long time ago, but he didn't care. The boy walked step by step to the center of the rebellious mountain people's formation, where the troops of the Jiamu Department were located, and most of the alchemy artillery were located in this direction.

   As long as this position is suppressed, victory can be declared.

   "Come on! Don't let him destroy the fighting spirit of these mountain people like this!"

   "For independence! For the glory of Dragon God!"

The instructors of Flaming Land finally made a decision. They made a decisive call, charged forward, and fired shells, intending to awaken the fighting spirit of the rebellious mountain people—even if they couldn't, they should leave seeds in their hearts, and Ian couldn't let Ian rely on his true strength. The momentum of the dragon and Ke De's head directly overwhelmed the core strength of these rebellious mountain people.

  But they themselves, together with all the bullets and shells, couldn't get closer to Ian's side for ten meters.

  Ian just walked forward, the rain on the left side of the air condensed into a shield, while the rain on the right expanded into steam, and the frozen shield blocked the attack of the alchemy cannon.

  Although the ice shield shattered and flew, it didn't hurt the boy at all.

And the ultra-high-heat steam on the right enveloped those flying flame fighters who were trying to rush into Ian's side. The weakest of them seemed to melt in an instant, and the exposed flesh and blood seemed to be under the flames. The candle quickly dissolved, the bones and armor fell from the wax water, and finally even the bones began to soften, turning into a puddle of mud.

  Corrosive agents and high-heat steam are a perfect match. Ian doesn't think he is cruel, and people who die under this kind of attack don't even feel the pain.

   Most of the stronger ones are sublimators. They can resist the erosion of corrosive potions, but Ian's gaze greets them.

  The light blue eyes left lightning-like scorching marks in their vision, and the incomparably bright psychic brilliance penetrated the hearts and souls of all of them in an instant.

   Then, what followed was the absolutely unstoppable ice blade.

  Their heads were cut off by the sword blades that came out of nowhere, and the blood was too late to flow out, and then their bodies solidified into ice sculptures, and their heads rolled into the mud.

  All the mountain people watched those who dared to resist melt before their eyes, or turned into ice sculptures with decapitated bodies.

   "If you don't resist, you won't die. Why don't you understand?"

  Ian sighed softly, he finally came to the alchemy artillery position.

   Here, all the mountain artillerymen looked at each other, and then backed away.

  They completely gave up all resistance.

  Ian disintegrated the strongest armed forces of the mountain people.

   Behind him, a road of ice runs through half of the battlefield.

  On both sides of the road, there are flesh and blood mud or ice sculptures. All those who dared to resist Ian died on the spot.

  Boom. Xiou descended behind Ian, and he crushed the tents of the rebellious mountain tribes, and seemed to crush the backbone of all the rebellious mountain tribes who dared to resist.

  The real dragon raised its claws, held the boy in the palm of his hand, and held it high in the air.

   And the white-haired lord just like this, standing on the palm of the real dragon, overlooking everyone from a high position.

   "I am the successor of the dragon god, the prophet of thunder, and the lord of the mountain people by destiny."

  Ian looked around the entire battlefield, and the roaring thunder chorused him: "Bow down to me, and I will bring you peace and tranquility."

  The rebel mountain people stared blankly at the 'Dragon God Messenger' who had come to the center of their position.

  They are unwilling, they are afraid, and they feel incredible.

  They couldn't understand why the situation suddenly turned around.

   But this is Terra, and this is the law of the world.

  When there is no sublimator who can resist the enemy's sublimator, no matter how unwilling to admit it, defeat is a fact.

so…

   They bowed their heads.

   Bow down to Ian.

Then.

  The war is over.
