Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 30 Relentless pursuit
In the dense Yunshan jungle, the towering ancient trees cover the sky, the coiled wolf vines meander, and the jungle is shrouded in the morning mist, making it even more mysterious.

Layers of dead leaves covered the ground, and there was a creaking sound when stepped on them. In the jungle in the distance, there was a huge roar of an unknown beast.

Lin Chuan and his party slowed down, and everyone held the weapons in their hands tightly, moving forward with vigilance.

Kacha, the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the jungle. Lin Chuan looked down, and among the dead leaves, a white head had been crushed by his combat boots.

"Watch out!"

Lin Chuan raised his head and ordered loudly.

As he got deeper into the jungle, the sunlight had been blocked by the dense canopy, and only dots of light spilled into the forest through the gaps. The jungle became darker and more humid, making Lin Chuan, who likes the sun, frown.

Ye Fei, who was in charge of the outpost, ran from the front and walked in front of Lin Chuan with a solemn expression.

"My lord, we have reached the edge of the mountain people's territory."

After a while, Lin Chuan came to the entrance to the barbarian territory.

A rugged mountain road covered by weeds leads to the depths of the dark jungle. An ancient stone tablet stands beside the path, "Trespassers die!" The four big bloody characters seem to be made of coagulated blood, exuding a wild atmosphere, warning trespasser.

Around the stele, several hills piled up with white heads made everyone look pale. Obviously, the large characters on the stele were not alarmist.

"Stay in place," Lin Chuan ordered.

Lin Chuan hesitated at this moment. Obviously, the strength of the mountain people is beyond doubt. If he really ignored the warning, he might bury this army that has been following him.

"Is it difficult to make a choice?" Xia Ge came to Lin Chuan and asked in a low voice.

Lin Chuan nodded: "As a commander, I need to be responsible for their lives, and I won't let them die in vain."

"In that case, why not let them decide for themselves." Xia Ge suggested.

"That's all it takes"

As a commander, Lin Chuan is not afraid of taking responsibility, but in the face of the life and death of his soldiers, he has the responsibility to tell the soldiers what dangers and difficulties they are about to face.

After a while, the remaining more than 1000 Xingtu fighters surrounded Lin Chuan in a semicircle.

Although the armor of the Xing Tu soldiers was broken and their faces were covered with blood, and many of them could not stand up because of their injuries and groaned in pain, they immediately became full of energy when they heard Lin Chuan's order, and tried their best to straighten their chests. Waiting for orders.

Lin Chuan felt guilty: What a group of good fighters they are. Although they were apprentices, they have already paid enough.

Lin Chuan stood in front of them, pondered for a moment, drove away those messy thoughts, and restored his former majesty.

"Brothers, now we are facing a difficult choice. As a commander, I feel that I have the responsibility to tell you about the danger we are about to face."

In fact, Lin Chuan didn't need to say it. Everyone knew what it meant to enter the territory of the mountain people, but when Lin Chuan said it himself, the effect was different. The soldiers felt Lin Chuan's respect for them.

"Crossing the territory of the mountain people is full of dangers. We may all die in it. Now I leave the choice to you. If you don't want to go in, take a step forward."

After Lin Chuan finished speaking, he looked at the Xing Tu soldiers, but after waiting for a long time, no one took that step.

"Okay, they are all good brothers." The corners of Lin Chuan's eyes were moist, and he saw the trust the soldiers had in him.

Xia Ge raised his hands and shouted: "To live and die together!"

"With the total death!"

"With the total death!"

The Xingtu soldiers' shouts startled a large group of birds, and the wild beasts roared in the distance.

A few miles away, Haotian stopped in his tracks, looking at the movement in front of him, his eyes were full of hostility.

"Catch up!" Haotian waved his big hand, and thousands of fully armed imperial soldiers rushed forward like agile apes.

But when they came in front of the bone-strewn stone tablet, Lin Chuan had already led the Xing Tu soldiers into the dark jungle.

"This group of lunatics, don't they know the vicious name of the mountain people!" Haotian's adjutant cursed loudly with a look of despair.

Haotian stared at the dark jungle, and said in a deep voice: "Order the troops, speed up and catch up!"

"What?!" The adjutant showed shock on his face.

Haotian didn't answer the adjutant, and strode across the stone tablet towards the barren path.

"Major General, no, that's the territory of the mountain people! People will die!" Seeing Haotian stepping into the trail, the adjutant shouted hastily, trying to stop Haotian.

But what Haotian decided was beyond his control as an adjutant. Teams of dynasty soldiers began to line up and enter the mountain road under the order of the officer.

"Crazy, must be crazy!" The adjutant stood still, watching the dynasty soldiers enter the territory of the mountain people, and shouted loudly.

"If you don't leave, just wait and feed the beast." Haotian's voice came from the front.

The adjutant glanced at the dark jungle, shivered, and gritted his teeth. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still followed.

After entering the territory of the mountain people, Lin Chuan ordered a high level of alert, and all Xingtu fighters were in high spirits, because they were already in danger since the moment they decided to step into the territory of the mountain people.

The territory of the Yunshan mountain people covers the entire alpine mountainous area in the middle of the Yunshan Mountains. This is a place with jagged rocks, wild beasts, and extremely harsh living conditions.

It is precisely because of the extremely harsh living conditions that the mountain people are extraordinarily tough and fierce. They have been trained how to fight wild beasts since they were young, and this continues until they reach adulthood, so every mountain person is a powerful fighter.

"My lord, the soldiers of the Dynasty are catching up!" Soon, the scouts at the back of the palace sent news, and the soldiers of the Dynasty behind them also stepped into the territory of the mountain people.

"It's really haunting!" Lin Chuan muttered to himself, and then ordered: Speed ​​up the speed and get rid of them as soon as possible!
In fact, what Lin Chuan didn't know was that if he released the bound Lan Yu, maybe Haotian wouldn't be so pressing.

Lan Yu, as the apple of the head of the Central Army Marshal, was captured by Lin Chuan. Her father, as the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, was doomed to bleed into rivers when he got angry. Haotian also received Lan Yu's death order. To see a person is to die to see a corpse, so Haotian had to risk his life to chase into the territory of the mountain people.

On the top of the Yunshan Mountains, outside the houses piled up with huge stones, a large number of mountain warriors, dressed in sharp clothes and with murderous looks on their brows, gathered in front of the Temple of War God with battle axes in their hands.

In the mountain jungles farther away, more mountain warriors are gathering, because after a lapse of ten years, the Dynasty invaded their territory again.

In front of the temple, the mountain warriors silently wiped their battle axes. They wore pitch-black battle armor. As long as the elders of the Temple of War give an order, they will slaughter all those hateful intruders.
