Valkyrie Storm

Chapter 416 Deadlock
In the sleeping hall in the deep courtyard of the imperial palace, Tang Ba, Dou Niang and others who had been properly arranged gathered together.

"A group of old dudes who can't see the situation clearly, do they really regard the young master as the savior?!" Tang Yan hurried back depressed, picked up the water glass and drank, and said directly: "Brother, ask a question, what happened in the end?" Something? Give me a detailed introduction."

"I haven't come to my senses until now. Da Zhou's army seems to have suddenly gone crazy and completely changed its style. I have communicated with Jinwuwei and Jianwei. It can basically be concluded that the weakness of Da Zhou's troops in the early stage It's not like pretending, the madness in the later stage is very sudden, like injecting some kind of drug, almost madness without reason."

Thinking about it now, Tang Ba still has lingering fears. The scene seemed to be surrounded by countless herds of beasts, and his eyes glowed evil red under the reflection of the fire.

Niang Dou pondered: "If this situation happened to a small number of people, it is understandable, but suddenly, all the troops of 200 million have changed, and there must be something strange. We were discussing just now, will it be Could it be some kind of mind control martial art? But... to be able to control such a large number of soldiers, even us are affected, what level is this? Could it be that there are half-saints in their main battalion? It seems that half-saints can't do this level .”

"It's the drumbeat!" Nalantu in the corner suddenly said.

"Drum beat?" Everyone's eyes focused on the past.

Nalantu lowered his head and didn't look into the eyes of the people, so he wouldn't be restrained: "You were fighting at the time, maybe you didn't notice it. I observed Da Zhou's military deployment and the state of the strong from the beginning to the end in the clouds, and noticed what happened. Another phenomenon that occurs when this anomaly occurs.

There are more than a thousand drum stands outside the four city gates. Following the command of the main camp, all the drums beat. From the time when the drums reverberated, the situation of the soldiers began to change. Later, the drums beat rapidly. , The soldiers all wanted to go crazy.After you all retreated into the imperial city, the drums of war stopped one after another, and the soldiers were sluggish again as if drained of strength. "

Everyone was quite surprised: "War drums can control people's spirit?"

"That's right, it's the war drum!" Niya walked in from the door, her noble and glamorous aura, and her alluring appearance made the slightly dim hall suddenly more colorful, and everyone's eyes flashed with surprise. .

"Ma'am." Niang Dou stood up quickly, showing her respect.

She still couldn't accept such a magnificent beauty being taken over by Tang Yan, but Tang Yan is the owner of the village, and Niya may have to follow her back to Wagang Village. In the future, she will be the wife of the village owner. Courtesy.

Even Tang Ba got up to show his courtesy, but the five bald heads of the Pang family shook their heads unceremoniously, sighed long, and muttered: "What a tender cabbage, just like this... oh... Nie Yuan..."

"Believe it or not, I threw you off the wall?" Tang Yan glanced murderously into the corner.

The five bald heads pursed their lips together, lowered their heads, and continued to mutter.

"Look, hurry up! This guy has a guilty conscience!"

"That's right, what a tender cabbage, what a new flower, alas, what a pity."

"Nowadays, flowers like to be planted with cow dung?"

"Is cow dung nutritious?"

"Oh??? This point of view has depth!"

Tang Yan gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to hold the five best products, so he simply turned his ears off and asked, "What's so special about Da Zhou's war drums?"

Niya said: "We have paid attention to this problem very early on. Every time the war drums of the Great Zhou Empire are beaten ten times, more than half of the soldiers will go crazy. Since they crossed the Mangdang River and besieged the imperial city, the impact of the war drums has become stronger and stronger. It is getting stronger and stronger. King Ling of Zhou was able to continuously create miracles of forcibly breaking the enemy and winning more with less, and these battle drums played a big role.

We have tried to sneak attack on these war drums, and we have also organized several assault plans, and paid a very heavy price to destroy all the war drums. Denzel and the others died in those sneak attacks.But the day after each destruction, new war drums would be set up, and the weird scene would reappear. "

"For four consecutive years, you haven't found the reason?"

"There is a great possibility—scalp drum!"

"Scalp drum?!" Tang Ba and the others looked at each other, but Tang Yan's face changed slightly.

Niya said: "You should still remember that when the Taiwu mining area collapsed, the mysterious ancient city that appeared in the underground world, the golden ancient war halberd, the wooden cow, and the scalp drum jointly created a storm of destruction. The melee in the Thundercloud Mountains also has mysterious reasons. The sound of the drum summoned countless dead bodies. Later, it is said that the three treasures were divided, and the scalp drum was controlled by five fierce swords."

The scalp drum is in the hands of Zhou Lingwang?
Tang Yan remembered that there was a lot of chaos at that time, but he was weak and only wanted to run for his life, without a deep understanding, and he didn't know the specific process. "You can't think of a way to destroy that thing?"

"If it was so easy to destroy, we would have acted a long time ago. The semi-holy patriarch of the royal family was surrounded by design because he snatched it, and almost fell. Zhou Lingwang kept the scalp drum very tightly and stayed in the main camp. He Ordinarily, he would not leave there, and the strongest of the five fierce swords, that is, the one who severely injured Dugu Xin, would basically stay there and wait."

"Are you sure it's a scalp drum?" Tang Yan asked.

"It's basically certain."

Tang Yan fell silent. The scalp drum was a monster ten thousand years ago. It is understandable that it can control an army of more than 200 million, and it cannot be destroyed casually.But now the problem is serious, how can the breakthrough five days later overcome this problem?With the sound of the scalp drum, the soldiers of the Great Zhou ran away again, and the tiger and iron cavalry could barely protect themselves. How could they protect the two thousand "hopes" of Delos?
If any accident happened, even the tiger and ben cavalry would have to be buried with him.

"What guarantee did you make with the royal family?" Nalantu suddenly asked Tang Yan.

"Take away 2000 people."

Tang Ba and the others frowned: "Master, now is not the time to show kindness. Even the members of the Rao family are hard to protect. How can we guarantee the safety of 2000 people?"

Tang Yan glanced at Niya, hesitated and said: "There is no way, if we want to leave here, we must not rely on our own strength alone, and I have to try my best to ensure that Su Li and the others will not sacrifice their lives, so someone has to replace them." We're...um...cannon fodder."

Niyaliu frowned slightly, looked at Tang Yan, but didn't say much.

She is also a smart woman. When she ran the mine, she played tricks and calculations. After some questioning in the hall, she understood Tang Yan's situation and difficulties, and she had a thorough understanding of the current situation.

The demise of Delos has been unstoppable, and the people in the imperial city must either surrender or fight to the death.With the staunch character of the imperial emperor, it is basically certain that he will fight to the end and live and die with the imperial city.It can be said that death has become a foregone conclusion. If Tang Yan hadn't come, Delos could only choose "hope" from more than a hundred people, and the possibility of escaping was almost zero.Tang Yan's guarantee to take away 2000 people is actually a big surprise.

However, the situation in the imperial city was in dire straits. If Tang Yan wanted to leave successfully, he had to be restrained. In other words... cannon fodder, the remaining power of the entire empire would be used as cannon fodder in exchange for the hope of 2000 of them surviving.

A way to get the best of both worlds, but also a very cruel price exchange.

"The royal family is willing to give us a chance? Don't wait for us to rush out, they will turn us into cannon fodder and escape by themselves." Dou Niang has a cautious temperament and has to think about the worst.

Tang Badao: "Mother Dou is worried that King Zhou Ling is eager to destroy Delos, but he will not let you go, young master. Once a war breaks out in two directions, who can guarantee which one King Zhou Ling will abandon?"

"The key is to consider the staffing of these 2000 people. They must be the hopes of the major families, people they love and value, and people who must leave alive. In this way, the major families will try their best to contain them. As long as they If they are crazy enough, King Ling of Zhou will have to pay more attention to them. If we speed up our advance, we should be able to avoid the danger of being surrounded.

The specific action plan has to be discussed with the royal family, and the issue of 'speed' and 'time' must be thoroughly discussed.You don't need to worry about the royal family's attitude. What needs to be urgently resolved now is how to break through the encirclement and minimize the impact of the scalp drum. "

Everyone frowned, fell silent, and thought hard about the solution.Niya didn't say anything, if they could solve the problem of scalp drum, they would have solved it long ago, why wait until now?Play sneak attack?It's impossible, simply sneaking in is a big problem, and once the scalp drum is stolen or destroyed, it will inevitably arouse vigilance, and then... How will that person escape?
When they were secretly thinking and meditating, some undetectable spatial ripples suddenly appeared on the beams of the palace, and a big round head appeared out of nowhere. When the eyes rolled, first they were vigilant, then they searched, and soon they saw As soon as he lit up, he stared straight at Tang Yan: "Brother? What are you doing?"
