Chapter 350 Slow down
The ghost bell, this thing is now being used by the demon species for personal gain, and even more is in the hands of the people from the Special Case Department of the Nanyuan Kingdom.

Compared with the price of flowers planted by demons, the Special Case Division will receive a lot of preferential treatment from Zhang Yan.In just over a month, I had more than seventy Ghost-Storing Bells in my hands.Some of them were delivered by Zhang Yan before, and some were urgently added after the appearance of the Yaoling clan.

Most of the ghost-absorbing bells are used to target those movable positions on the Dead Silence Dao.The rest, about seven or eight, were sent to Xiyuan County.

According to Wu Kui's arrangement, he did not fully implement Zhang Yan's plan, but had some trade-offs in it.For example, Wu Kui didn't put all his attention on those movable dead paths, and didn't have the idea of ​​completely blocking them.The choice is to block six to seven achievements, and let the rest go, so that even if it affects the people on the side, it will not cause large-scale casualties.The vacated ghost-sleeping bells can be sent to the front line of Xiyuan County as a guarantee for the final goal of the whole plan.

If you do the math, for every three Ghost-Storing Bells provided by Zhang Yan to the Special Cases Division, one of them will be sent to Xiyuan County.

Zhou Cang, who was stationed in a military camp to the southwest of Baishiqian in Xiyuan County, received his second ghost-suppressing bell this morning since he was stationed here.

"My lord, where do you think this bell is going?"

"I gave Li Mangzi the last one, and this one is for Wu Kun. Let him make good use of the warning ability of this thing, and don't run around when the bell rings."

Zhou Cang sat in a simple wooden shed, with a clay pot of plain noodles in front of him, and ate quickly with his head down.

"It's my lord, I'll go right away."

As soon as the adjutant took the bell and walked away, Zhou Cang raised his head with worry and fear flashing across his face.

Zhou Cang knew that the bell must have been written by Zhang Yan, because the lines on the bell were very similar to those on the "Feng Zhan" knife on his waist and the sleeve inner armor worn inside the battle robe. Know that it comes from the same way.This is why Zhou Cang attached great importance to this kind of bell from the beginning.

Zhou Cang's status is not high, he doesn't know anything about the Spirit Race.The aristocratic family behind him can't reach this level of news.So after getting the bell, Zhou Cang carefully pondered the words in the order.

The order was issued by the Yamen of the Ministry of War and the Department of Special Cases to the Yamen in charge of the West Road Army Road Branch, and then transferred to the first-line military camps outside Baishi City.

The order requires that the soldiers in each army station must wear the bell when they are patrolling. If they find that the bell is ringing innocently, they should immediately retreat to the army station and cannot go outside.If the army is dispatched, whether it is moving between military bases or returning to Baishi City, any action that only needs to leave the station must also wear this kind of bell as a warning.When the bell rings, if there is no army to retreat, then form a tight formation and not stand alone...

This order was the first weird order that Zhou Cang had seen in the army for decades. He had no idea, and there was no explanation at all. He had never heard of such a thing in the usual military style on the battlefield.

Zhou Cang's adjutant is a veteran, and has been on the front line of Baishi City. He was a team leader half a year ago, and now he is an adjutant of the army.The speed of promotion is placed elsewhere, even the children of the big family in the army don't have this kind of promotion method.But in Xiyuan County, on the front line of Baishi City, it is not uncommon for an adjutant like Zhou Cang to be promoted at such a speed.Because too many people have died, the vacated positions need to be filled, and whoever has the most life will be able to move up level by level.

But even Adjutant Zhou Cang, a soldier who has been on the front line of Baishi City all year round, is the first time he has heard such an order and the first time he has seen this strange bell.

So what Zhou Cang can use as a message is only the contents of the order.It mentioned "ringing the bell" and "warning" more than once.These two words are mentioned together.That is to say, when this kind of bell rings, it means that there is danger. Either avoid the military camp, or form a defensive formation.

But what is the danger?Anyway, Zhou Cang has never heard any soldiers mention the dangers encountered when ringing the bell these days.Although he acted according to the order, no one knew why he had to avoid it.

Zhou Cang couldn't figure it out at the beginning, but later on he gradually discovered some patterns.That is, under normal circumstances, as long as the bell is not far away from the military village, the bell will not ring.But once there are dead bodies confiscated outside the military camp, the bell will ring, but it won't ring for too long. Usually, it won't ring again after a cup of tea.

Is it because of dead bodies?Not all.Because the bells around the wounded soldiers who died in the army will not ring.Even outside the military camp, fresh dead bodies would do, and those stinky ones would not cause the bells to ring.

It is Zhou Cang's limit to be able to touch these doorways.He couldn't guess more contexts by just relying on his brain.

But although I can't figure out what is hidden in this order.But Zhou Cang could feel that since this kind of bell was sent from the rear, the impact of the monster clan on the army station began to weaken slowly.The weakening was not obvious at first, but in the past few days, it has been enough for the soldiers in the army to feel it clearly.

Every day before, the monster clan would attack the bunker fortifications of the military camps like crazy. Even with the support of the fortifications, they still fluttered like fallen leaves in the strong wind. In the end, they could barely stand still relying on the force of the corners between the military camps, and Containment of the secret roads between the military colonies arranged by the gossip array.But the casualties were too great.

Zhou Cang was able to withstand this flesh and blood mill for so long not because of his strength, but because the sleeve armor on his body saved his life several times.The most recent one was the day before yesterday.The heavy hammer from a monster clan hit it, although the inner armor can miraculously offset most of the impact force, but the remaining part still caused serious injuries to Zhou Cang's inner mansion, a mouthful of old blood spewed out, and it still hurts to this day. Burning sensation when inhaled.

And the ferocity and strength of the Yaozu also left a deep impression on Zhou Cang.

However, the continuous violent attack had a pause a few days ago, and then maintained the rhythm of fighting every day and stopping every day, which greatly relieved the pressure on the army.

"Is it because the monster race is timid? Or is it that their troops can't keep up?" Zhou Cang dismissed this thought before it stayed in Zhou Cang's mind for a long time.Because if it is these two reasons, the Yaozu can retreat, but now the Yaozu's military stronghold is still less than [-] miles away, and there is no sign of retreating at all.

"That means the monster clan is in trouble. And this trouble should have something to do with the weird bell sent from the rear."

After Zhou Cang synthesized all the information he could see, as well as his own guesses, he finally came to the conclusion that in Xiyuan County, apart from the soldiers of the Western Army and the demon clan on the opposite side, there seemed to be more other things.
