Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 26: Crisis and Mutation
Everything seemed to have calmed down in Yonghui City. No one would have thought that the camp of the Ruoye expeditionary force thousands of miles away was in danger at this time.
It was a very bright and hot afternoon, but suddenly the weather changed and heavy rain poured down from all directions. Thunderbolts came one after another, getting closer and louder, accompanied by flashes of lightning, tearing through the dark sky.
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds outside the camp of the expeditionary army, as rapid as the drumbeats at the climax of a play! A knight was seen galloping towards the storm. The knight was wearing dark armor and holding a black token with gold letters in one hand. He broke into the camp. The armored guards outside the tent did not dare to stop him after seeing the token in his hand!
Only when he arrived in front of the central army tent did the knight pull the reins. Following the strong horse's long neigh, the knight jumped off the horse, and the action was done in one smooth go !
"Could there be another unexpected event?" The man sitting on the tiger-skin chair in the tent couldn't help but frown, with a bad premonition arising spontaneously...
"General Zhuguo! Something terrible has happened! All those 100,000 dead bodies of iJue have come back to life!" The black-armored young general Nangong Huang rushed in. The news he brought was like the cold wind that blew into the tent with him, causing the old general in the tent, who was dressed in bright golden armor and had long hair and a beard, to suddenly change his expression.
"What! What did you say!" The old general slammed the table with both hands and stood up, his eyes wide open, as if he thought he had heard it wrong!
"Just now I led my men out for patrol as usual. When we arrived at the mass grave of the iJue clan buried ten miles away, we felt something was wrong. When we got closer and took a closer look, we discovered that the bodies of the 100,000 people had all disappeared! Not a single one was left! Moreover, I roughly observed the situation around it, but found that there was no sign of human excavation or relocation around it. The body, the body seemed to have crawled out of the ground by itself! And now, it's nowhere to be found!" Nangong Huang 's voice was trembling slightly at this time, as if he recalled the horrific scene he had experienced before, and he couldn't help but shudder all over.
Then there was a rumble in my ears , and another thunderbolt, accompanied by a scorching flash of lightning, which illuminated the dark sky palely! And the news I just heard was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky in the heart of the old general!
How could the dead come back to life? And there were 100,000 dead people! I saw with my own eyes that those people were killed one by one and buried in the mass grave, so how could they disappear out of thin air?
This matter is probably unusual!
"Go and ask General Zhiguo to come! Also, pass the order down, the entire army is to be on alert, the central army is to hold the camp for the time being and remain motionless, the Yunqi Army and Yunyi Army in the left camp are to immediately split into two groups and set up a dragnet to search for the whereabouts of those living dead within a hundred miles!" Jiang is an experienced man after all. Although the General Zhuguo was a little shocked for a moment, he quickly calmed down. Before His Highness left, he entrusted the expeditionary army to him carefully, and entrusted the life and death of the army to him. If anything goes wrong, he will not be able to face His Highness again!
No one knew that a battle that would change the fate of countless people and the destiny of two races would begin quietly and strangely!
