Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 213 The Grandmaster
Xu Gu'an visually measured the remaining distance between this wave of troops and Donglan Town, then rode around the army and headed towards Donglan Town.

Half a day later, Donglan Town was within sight.

From a distance, although the towering town wall is not as badly damaged as Qingshui Town, it can be seen that it has experienced wars.

When Xu Guan came back, he could still see many craftsmen repairing the four town walls.

In addition, there are many temporary bases for inspections outside the town, which were not there before.

Before Xu Gu'an approached Donglan Town, he was stopped by the guards in the stronghold and questioned him about his background.

Xu Gu'an revealed his identity as a student of the Donglan Wuyuan, interrogated him several times, and after confirming it, he was released.

At the gate of the town, Xu Gu'an was interrogated again, which shows how strict the town's security is now in an extraordinary period.

"Brother Xu!"

A familiar voice came at this time, Xu Guan turned his head to look, and saw Lu Liang jumped down from the carriage in a hurry.

"It's really Brother Xu, you're finally back." Lu Liang shouted loudly.

It has been more than half a year since Xu Gu An left, and this time is not short.

"Brother Lu, you are safe and sound." Xu Gu An said with a light smile.

After traveling abroad for more than half a year and experiencing many things, now that he is back in Donglan Town, he is in a good mood to see his acquaintances again.

At least there is no situation where things are right and people are wrong.

"I guarantee that he's fine. If you still don't believe me, go and call your captain to have a look." Lu Liang said to the guards.

Apparently, the guards were all unfamiliar faces, and they didn't recognize Xu Gu'an who had been away for more than half a year.

"Since it was Master Lu who said it, it's no problem, why bother." One of the guards laughed immediately.

Although they didn't recognize Xu Gu'an who had left, they still knew Lu Liang who had stayed in the town, and they knew this martial arts master very well.

Xu Guan nodded and entered the town with Lu Liang.

"Brother Xu, your steed is really majestic, where did you get it?" Lu Liang turned his attention to Xiao Hei who was led by Xu Guan.

He could tell at a glance that Xiao Hei was not a horse from this area, and his body shape was completely different.

"It's Ma from Yubei, brother Lu, I have something urgent to talk to the dean, and I'll catch up with you sometime."

After Xu Gu'an finished speaking, he went straight to Donglan Martial Arts Academy and found the dean Li Qingyun in the academician building.

"Huh, did you come back today?" Seeing Xu Gu'an who came back safely, Li Qingyun smiled.

He could see that Xu Gu'an's spirit had reached a very high level. Obviously, after going out for more than half a year, Xu Gu'an had been greatly improved.

But when he heard Xu Gu An mention the army that appeared on the plain, the smile on his face quickly faded.

"If they come straight to the town, I guess they will arrive in two or three hours at most." Xu Guan said seriously.

"Follow me." Li Qingyun quickly got up and took Xu Gu'an to Shen's house.

On the way, Xu Gu'an asked about the situation of Xu's Village and his relatives.

"Don't worry, your village is very good. The eastern outskirts are separated by the Donglan Mountains, and it is even more remote. There will be no troops to raid there." Tartar Cloud said on the carriage.

This made Xu Gu'an completely relieved, no matter what, the old dean is still reliable.

When they arrived at the Shen family, the Patriarch of the Weng family who had notified him at the same time also came.

The two patriarchs, plus the special bituminous cloud, formed the three top speakers who currently control the entire Donglan Town.

Seeing the head of the Weng family again, Xu Gu'an felt strange.

After all, he had encountered Weng Yan in the desert before, and beheaded him.

If the Weng family knew about this matter, it would be difficult to let him go, even if the reason was that Weng Yan came to the door to fight him to the death.

As for Weng Yan's defection to the Moon God Cult, he is the only one who knows about it at present, and there is no evidence, so the Weng family may not believe it.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is impossible for him to bring this matter up to the public, and Quan Dang Weng Yan is still missing outside.

"If Xiao An's words are correct, then it's really tricky." Shen Ting said in a deep voice.

"If an army of nearly [-] people attacks Donglan Town, there will be too many variables." Weng Dunyuan also expressed his concern.

"It's okay to say that there are thousands of soldiers, if there are innate masters among them."

"Let me deal with the enemies of the Blood Refining Realm and the Xiantian Realm, but you still have to guard the four walls." The old dean Li Qingyun said.

"Okay, I'm really sorry for your trouble, don't worry, our two families will defend the town wall even if they die!" Shen Ting stood up and bowed to Li Qingyun.

The same is true for Weng Dunyuan, the patriarch of the Weng family.

Standing behind Bituminous Cloud, Xu Gu'an quietly listened to the three people's conversation. He found that the attitude of the two patriarchs towards Bitiner Yun was much more respectful than before.

Then he thought that Bituminous Cloud had contracted an enemy at the Xiantian Realm just now.

And listening to the tone, this is not the first time.

It's not difficult to guess that Donglan Town had also been attacked by experts in the Xiantian realm before, but it seemed that it was resolved by the old headmaster.

I thought that it would have been difficult for Bitumen Cloud to mobilize a team of blood refiners to turn the tide.

Now it seems that the team of blood refiners is not the old dean's real trump card.

The energy he hides is far greater than what Xu Gu'an thought.

No matter what, since even the enemies in the Xiantian Realm can be resolved, Xu Gu'an probably doesn't need him to intervene too much in the future.

Soon, the two Patriarchs began to issue orders.

A large number of defense teams began to assemble, strategic materials were transported to the city wall, and the atmosphere in the town suddenly became tense.

An hour later, the spies sent out sent a message, confirming that the army was attacking and had already approached Donglan Town.

On the side of the town wall, Xu Gu'an followed behind the tar cloud, overlooking the approaching army on the plain.

Beside the asphalt cloud, apart from that Niu Yichen, there were several other men and women in civilian clothes instead of armor.

Wearing weapons on their bodies, each of them has a strong aura, which is quite extraordinary.

Xu Gu'an has been in contact with masters at the innate level, so at such a close distance without a few people trying to hide it, he can recognize at a glance that the people standing behind Li Qingyun are all innate masters!

Including Niu Yichen, who was at the Great Perfection of Body Training before, but now he has also broken through to the Innate Realm.

Looking at these people, Xu Gu'an tried to use the copy card to lock these targets.

Unfortunately, it cannot be reproduced.

Although he now possesses real combat power at the innate level, his body training is still at the blood refining level, and he can't reproduce a real person with a higher level of training than him, so he has no choice but to give up.

"My lord, leave it to me this time. I will kill the enemy and bring the head back." A man who looked to be in his thirties cupped his fists and challenged the tar cloud.

"Jingshen, last time you have done a good job, it's time for me to show it this time." The big man who was nearly two meters away said dissatisfied.

He carried two large axes on his back. The blades of the axes were extremely wide, and their weight was so heavy that they could be seen with the naked eye.

"You two, can't you let the little girl go." Another woman with a charming look also said at this time.

Several people seemed to want to compete for this shot, which made Xu Gu An look at his heart with a murmur.

These few innate masters seem to want to claim credit in front of Pitch Cloud.

"Is it purely to show off, to win the favor of the old dean, or to get some benefits from the old dean, is the old dean the big boss behind the scenes?" Xu Gu'an thought to himself.

Pitch Cloud didn't say much, and he didn't know what kind of relationship existed between these innate masters and Pitch Cloud.

"Don't worry, act according to the situation, don't rush forward." Li Qingyun said.

The few people stopped arguing, and it could be seen that they all listened to Li Qingyun's words.

Nothing happened for the time being, the enchanting woman's eyes fell on Xu Gu'an who was at the side, with a charming smile on her face.

"You handsome brother, are you new here?"

Niu Yichen at the side immediately shook his head and said, "He's a student from the Martial Arts Academy, and he's not with us."

"That's right, I'm a student, and I've become a blood refiner at such a young age, it's really amazing, no wonder I was brought by my lord." Yang Yan said with a light smile.

As she said that, she took two steps closer, and a strong fragrance rushed to her face, sultry.

"After this battle is over, why don't you go have a drink with my sister and get to know each other." Yang Yan knew her very well.

Before Xu Gu'an could speak, Pi Qingyun glanced at her sideways.

Yang Yan immediately stopped approaching Xu Gu'an, and turned back with a smile.

"Quick, quick! Bring everything up!"

"Where is the kerosene, there is less kerosene here!"

"Put three more boxes of heavy crossbow arrows!"

"."

Xu Guan looked elsewhere.

On the city wall, except for Tartar Yun and the others who were calm and calm, the other guards seemed to act in a hurry.

All kinds of city defense materials were carried on the high wall one after another, and the personnel mobilization and deployment were orderly.

The two Patriarchs went into battle in person, coordinating the overall situation and issuing orders one after another.

Xu Gu'an noticed that the two families seem to have recruited a lot of troops in the past six months.

Just the guard group deployed on the town wall, at least there are as many as 3000 people!
In the town, there are still thousands of family guards lined up.

Not to mention the quality of these guards, but the number is actually not much less than the ten thousand army.

If it was only the population of the town itself, it would certainly not be able to recruit so many guards.

And even if they were recruited, the daily financial and material resources required to maintain such a large number of guards would be astonishing, and it would be difficult to support them with the strength of the two major families.

In fact, the Weng and Shen families did not follow the conventional way of recruiting such an army.

Long before Xu Guan left, there were a large number of refugees fleeing from other lands near the town.

The Weng and Shen families realized the crisis of the intensifying war, and they both wanted to expand the town's guard force in order to protect themselves in troubled times.

For this reason, they focused on the refugees who fled to the vicinity of Donglan Town. After continuous screening, they selected suitable candidates and merged them into the town's garrison. That's why there are so many guards.

Compared with the guards they have trained, the benefits of recruiting these refugees are obvious.

Low wages, and some even just need to give a stutterer a shelter from the wind and rain.

These requirements are relatively simple and easy to meet, and can supplement the town's combat power to the maximum extent.

In addition, all the forces in the town, large and small, who can unite in this troubled world are willing to unite to the outside world, which is also a big force.

Soon, the enemy troops in the distance arrived.

Everyone is wearing heavy black armor, like a torrent of steel.

"Fortunately, it's not the main force of the Duan family." Li Qingyun glanced at the army and quickly made a judgment.

Normally, this place is far away from the main battlefield, and it is impossible for the main force of the opposing camp to come here to occupy a remote town.

Those who can make a move here are either some unprofessional rebels, or some affiliated miscellaneous troops who can't fight tough battles. They just want to come here to grab some soft persimmons and make some achievements that they don't have.

"I am Gao Wen under the command of the Grandmaster, if you don't want to suffer death, just give up resistance obediently!"

In front of the army, a general rode a tall horse to the front and shouted loudly.

His voice was so loud that it spread inside and outside the entire high wall in an instant, and even many residents in the town heard it.

"Innate strength." Xu Gu'an thought to himself.

The sound can be transmitted so far, and the breath is so powerful, only the masters of the innate realm.

It's just that he is not sure about the specific strength of the opponent.

Only the prefix under the command of the master makes people dare not underestimate it.

The two-meter tall man with a double ax on his back let out a disdainful laugh.

"These days, any cat or dog dares to claim to be under the command of the master, but they are just leading a motley army of the Duan family, and if they die, they are just minions recruited by the Duan family.

My lord, let me cut off his head and hang it on the wall to stand up! "

The surface of the asphalt cloud was as pale as water, "Biaohu, Yang Yan, Jingshen, you three go and try it out, this is your trial."

"Hahaha, okay." The big man named Li Biaohu pulled out the generous double axes on his back, with an excited expression, and he was not at all afraid of the approaching army of ten thousand people.

His target was completely locked on the general who spoke.

"Yes." The faces of the other two regained some seriousness, and the two men and one woman quickly left the town wall.

"Huaiyi, let's make a show of authority." Bitumen Yun continued.

A man who had been silent at the side listened, took a step forward, and Niu Yichen handed him a big bow.

Xu Gu'an's eyes instantly fixed on the big bow.

When the man draws the bow, a faint color light appears on it.

Shade is blue!
This is a big blue pin bow!
This is also the first blue-grade weapon that Xu Gu'an has seen in reality.

Zhao Huaiyi tried the toughness of the big bow for a while, then he opened the bow and set the arrow, and shot out without much pause.

With a buzzing sound, the iron arrow passed through a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant.

The speed of the arrow is so fast that even Xu Gu'an, who has enhanced dynamic vision and has a strong body, can't completely lock the iron arrow.

I saw that the opposing general who was shouting in front of the formation also had no time to react, he barely had time to turn sideways, was pierced through his armor by the arrow, and rolled off the horse in embarrassment.

On the high wall, shouts of mountains and tsunami erupted suddenly, and flags were waved to cheer.

Although the arrow before the start of the battle did not directly kill the opponent, but it made the opponent's general so embarrassed, it was enough to destroy the opponent's morale and boost one's own prestige.
