Tang Qi Tan

In the Vale River Valley southwest of Lance City, the construction has been going on for a long time. With the arrival of Jiang Tian and his party, it is also ushered in the moment of final acceptance.It was a tall embankment standing in the depths of the river valley; it was the product of blocking the river course with large trees and earth and stones collected locally.

Therefore, the civil dam located in the upper reaches of the Weiler River is the dividing line; the river water on the high side has formed a temporary small lake along with the large sprawling valley.On the other side of the lower river, there are large swathes of silt and fish struggling in puddles.

"After more than half a month of hard work and reciprocating attempts, we finally succeeded in blocking the river." A lieutenant of the engineering company who followed Jiang Tian also repeatedly introduced: "But after the precipitation in the past few days, The pressure of the dam also reached its limit ahead of time, and water leaks occurred in many places."

"If that's the case, don't wait any longer." Jiang Tian looked at the slender and muddy water lines that were constantly jetting out from behind the temporary embankment that was more than ten meters wide and seven or eight meters high; "Yu Le Lieutenant starts with you, get everyone ready to take early action!"

An hour later, with the blowing of the long bugle, and the sound of drums that continued to resound through the shore; it turned into several deafening explosions in the embankment standing on the river.With the sudden collapse of the temporary dam, it disappeared in the raging torrent in an instant.

The huge torrent of a few meters high crashed out, like a roaring monster, rushing to the depths of the valley along the height difference of the terrain; it rolled away everything it passed Earth, rocks and trees; and accumulating huge power, rushing into the cloud-shrouded dead place.

As if breaking through some invisible diaphragm in an instant, it slapped the narrower and narrower mountain wall fiercely, rolling up the thick and black mud on the ground;However, these scalp-numbing existences are like flimsy pieces of paper in front of the torrent.

A face-to-face was knocked down, overturned, rolled up, and scattered into the raging torrent, turning into an insignificant part.The torrential torrent just rushed left and right in the depths of the valley, disturbing and scouring the originally silent dead land upside down.

The rumbling and reverberating sound of rushing water continued for a whole hour before it slowly calmed down and finally disappeared.However, the dead place at the bottom of the valley, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds, has completely changed because of this.It was as if the whole ground had been scraped off and turned over again.

When the soldiers of the Freedom Army punted their boats and slowly pushed forward in the several feet of stagnant water, they could see broken trees and deposited earth and rocks scattered everywhere; A corner of the skeleton buried deep in the mud; but it has completely lost its activity.

Obviously, the inexplicable power that maintains the abnormal phenomena in this area has its limit after all.At least, it cannot resist the power of nature's "uncanny workmanship" such as man-made floods.And as the cloud dissipated and the Freedom Army advanced, it finally came to the end of the flood.

And in the valley behind, there was also a bustle of voices.More summoned auxiliary companies and locally recruited civilians are responsible for clearing the ground, guiding and draining stagnant water; in order to re-pave and repair a road that can be quickly passed by large-scale troops.

While rushing out of the shackles of the dark clouds in the sky, the target was determined almost immediately; and he rushed to the bottom of the cliff, where the artillery and musket companies of the Free Army were firing.However, the soldiers who bore the brunt were basically unmoved.Instead, he raised his hand and shot upwards freely.

Although, most of the bones quickly stood up again, and under the action of some invisible force, they reassembled their damaged and missing body parts; Knock them down and smash them to the ground.

Obviously, this extremely dilapidated castle is very likely to be the culprit of this abnormal area.But compared to being shrouded in large clouds before, the valley/ancient battlefield is more than ten kilometers long; the castle itself as the last abnormal point is nothing.

He shot down and crushed many bat birds on the spot.Just when the black clouds of bats and birds whistling and intertwined were about to rush into the formation of soldiers; a dozen heavy knights who suddenly appeared stood in front of them with large wall shields and long-barreled weapons.Immediately, a spray of water mist was sprayed out with the sound of chichi squeezing.

Although this process seems a bit ridiculous and tedious, compared to the Free Army soldiers who have not been injured so far; the payment of these gunpowder and projectiles is not worth mentioning at all.But after being beaten repeatedly for several rounds, the unknown existence in the broken castle seemed to be unbearable.

In the midst of the intense impact and crushing sounds, these living bones that had just been awakened were emptied out of a small area in a blink of an eye, just like bowling pins that had been knocked down and smashed into pieces.Then more densely fired muskets resounded for a while; the remaining bones were knocked down one after another.

The remaining bones that were still able to move suddenly fell apart with a crash; then there was a faint whistling from the ruins, and a large black cloud floated out.Immediately, Jiang Tian could see clearly that this was a group of obviously distorted bats and birds, forming a dense black cloud.

After rushing and scouring for seven or eight kilometers along the original road and river bed, the power of this artificial flood seems to be exhausted.Therefore, the stagnant water is becoming shallower and less, and finally there are only large and small puddles, which are muddy like swamps;

On the contrary, more than a dozen bullets fired by the mountain cannon easily penetrated into the range of the cloudy clouds, and splashed a lot of earth and rock fragments on the edge of the cliff and the surrounding ruins.He also awakened some special existences that were dormant on the spot; they were some skeletons holding weapons and mummified corpses with decayed robes.

It was the priest who arrived at the Redemption Company later and used one of the wonders obtained from Lance in the Holy Land; a small bronze bell mounted on a special carriage.As the bells sounded one after another, they echoed in the valleys and valleys; these bats and birds gathered in groups scattered as if they had exploded their nests.

The next moment, these long tubes sprayed water mist that scattered in the wind, and turned into raging flames in the air, enveloping the black clouds of bat birds that rushed over.In a burst of bursts and screams, the black clouds that came forward turned into scorched black wrecks that fell all over the sky;
Although these flames sprayed in the air did not last long before disappearing.But this massive black cloud of bats and birds was also burned to create a huge gap; and the rest of the same kind were scattered and frightened to go around.Only a few fish that slipped through the net hit the shield wall and armor.

These Hale rockets, which dragged out long smoke trails and orbits, were extinguished the moment they crashed into the cloudy range.They lost the power to continue flying on the spot, and fell like headless chickens on the edge of the castle under the remaining inertia; even the pre-set fuse for internal combustion did not work.

After a night of in-situ repairs and defenses; the next morning, a dozen mountain cannons were urgently transported from the rear along the temporarily paved road; they aimed at the top of the cliff with the maximum elevation angle and range. The ancient castle on the ground gave out echoing and concussive roars.

In this kind of bell that can make people feel a moment of peace of mind and stagnation of thinking, those bat birds with serious distortions just fell straight like raindrops.The other batbirds also seemed to get rid of some kind of invisible restraint and call, and immediately flew away with a bang.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of Hale rockets used to set fire to buildings rose one after another on the erected wooden guide rails.Draw a large parabola after another; one after another crashed into the castle under the cloud; however, something unexpected happened suddenly.

And the traces left by this flood finally disappeared at a big turnaround deep in the valley; and here, the soldiers of the mountain company who were in charge of the forward investigation also found a dilapidated castle on the top of the steep cliff; and finally A dark cloud that has not dissipated hangs over it.

Then it was flattened and crushed into a pulp with quick eyes and hands; it basically had no specific impact on the muskets and artillery arrays in the rear.When the remaining frightened batbirds were driven by some kind of force, they circled and gathered together again, ready to charge; a heavy bell sounded suddenly.

Driven by some remaining invisible thoughts, they scatters and scatter in all directions to patrol and search for possible invading enemies.It's a pity that they are doomed to be disappointed, because immediately after, more shells pierced through the invisible curtain shrouded in dark clouds, and roared and bombarded among these bones.

And with the dark clouds covering the river valley, little by little that is visible to the naked eye slowly disappears; the kind of gloomy feeling that makes people feel cautious, and the potential depression of exhaustion; it is also gradually subsiding; what is left is only through the broken The clouds, the warmth of the sun shining on the ground.

However, this did not bother the engineering company of the Freedom Army that followed; they saw the ships start to run aground one after another, and they threw many willow branches and rattan treads on the ship; , step by step forward to pave a temporary passage several meters wide.

At the same time, under the cover of shelling and musket fire.Some nimble soldiers have also climbed up to the edge of a cliff hundreds of meters high along the severely damaged stairs and roads; they quickly tied down the ropes and hanging ladders, allowing the inheritance knights waiting below to drag them up.

And the unknown existence hiding in the ruined castle also seemed to feel some kind of potential threat; and a whirl of dust was set off again in the ruins, instantly covering up some of the soldiers and knights who had reached the top.Then there were rapid roars and exclamations, as well as fierce clashes and collisions.

Afterwards, people fell down one after another, but they were picked up by Jiang Tian with quick eyes and hands, and thrown aside; although they inevitably fell down, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but no one died because of it.But when the swirling smoke and dust dissipated, a tall figure standing on the top of the cliff was revealed.

"Dudarhan?" Jiang Tian looked at the bone armored horse on the top of the cliff, holding a pale bone spear and a knight figure with a sledgehammer, and laughed instead of anger: because, since even this thing appeared along with it , then obviously the value of existence in the abandoned castle is even greater and more important.

The next moment he waved his hand, the headless horseman standing on the top of the cliff was pulled off unexpectedly and hit hard on the jagged rocks.
