Supreme Emperor of Swords - Chapter 247

[Chapter 247 Blood Dragon Village Arrives]

Open the room window, look around, the sky is twilight.

The night has passed.

When Ding Hao finished washing up and walked out of the room, Gao Feng and others were already waiting outside. Seeing Ding Hao coming out, they greeted respectfully. The little girl, Xueer, washed the mud stains off her face, revealing a fair and delicate face. His little face, like a different person, greeted Ding Hao loudly.

The group had breakfast at the inn and began to set foot on the journey to [Valley Village].

Before leaving [Taiping City], Ding Hao bought a lot of things, most of which were armor, weapons and food.

The sun was red, and there were still fine snowflakes floating in the sky, and the group went out of the north gate of [Taiping City].

Valley Village.

Like many small-scale human settlements, Gudi Village is not large, covering less than 60 acres of land.

The village is located among the hills, backed by the Xuelong Mountain. The mountain is covered with snow-covered glaciers that do not melt all year round. In front of the village is a grassland and bushes that have been covered with snow and ice. It was like a crack cut open by a sword from an ancient great power, and every day the mournful wind wailed, and the snow mist filled the air.

The whole village is built on the mountain, showing a long and narrow shape in the east-west direction.

A main street extends from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, with houses built of rocks and ice on both sides.

Around the village, a wall more than 50 meters high was cast with rocks, giant trees and ice blocks. All kinds of thorns were frozen in the ice layer. From a distance, it looked like a bunched up white hedgehog. The ice wall was under the sun. Sparkling, it looks majestic, and it can be used to resist the invasion of some low-level demons.

The long winter is coming, and both humans and demons are facing the crisis of food shortage.

At this time of year, on the land of Selangor, the conflict between the human race and the demons will intensify. Bloodshed occurs almost every day. For the continuation and survival of the race, the two sides have to fight with swords.

When the sun just rose, Gao Lin, who was already seventy-three this year, was the longest in the village and the only elder here. He brought some armed young men to the arrow tower on the south side of the ice crystal siege. Looking far down to the south.

Four or five days have passed since the village chief Gao Feng and several young and middle-aged villagers went to [Taiping City] to hire guardian warriors. According to the previous agreement, yesterday should be the day Gao Feng and others returned.

“The demons in Xuelong Mountain are getting more and more irritable. I’m afraid they will soon spread to this area. I hope the village chief and the others return smoothly and hire a good guardian warrior, otherwise…”

Gao Lin didn’t dare to think badly.

If there are no guardian warriors, perhaps this winter will be the end of the Valley Village.

One after another, many villagers stood on the high wall, looking at the mountain road in the south with hopeful eyes.

Time, in such an anxious wait, slowly passed.

Gradually, as the sun approached noon, there was still not the slightest figure on the only road leading to the outside world in the distance.

“Elder, why haven’t the village chiefs come back?” A young man who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was quite impatient. The spear couldn’t help but said: “It won’t be that I encountered a demon on the road…”

“Gao Jian, don’t talk nonsense.” Gao Lin raised his eyebrows, interrupting the bastard’s words.

Gao Jian opened his mouth, but did not dare to talk back.

“Look, there is movement in the distance…” Someone suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone immediately looked towards the mountain road to the south, and saw in the distance where the white sky and the ground met, a dozen black dots appeared, and then the dots became clearer and clearer. other animals, but a human figure that is moving at high speed.

“Is the village chief and the others back?” Gao Lin was overjoyed, but in the next instant, the old face full of ravine-like wrinkles instantly solidified and turned into panic.

“Quick, set up the defense immediately, the arrow tower is ready, it’s the people from [Blood Dragon Village]…”

A long white flag suddenly fluttered on the mountain road in the distance. The flag depicts a long blood-colored dragon with its teeth and claws. It was pulled by the north wind and made a sound, as if it had come to life. It wandered in the sky, full of Bloody spirit.

The banner was held in the hands of a knight in dark iron and light armor.

Behind this burly knight, a cavalry team of more than 30 people roared, like a black evil wind blowing between the white world, extremely fast, and a thunderous hoof sound. , This team of knights came under the ice crystal wall of [Valley Village] in a blink of an eye.

At close range, you can see the hideousness of these knights.

The black armor on each of them was stained with blood, all of them were black long-haired horses, and there were several heads hanging under the heads of the horses, which had been frozen to death, but the terrified and angry expressions on the heads and faces were still clearly discernible. , apparently had just been killed not long ago.

These guys are just like the army of the gods of death who came out of hell.

The knight’s iron armor was covered with frozen red bloodstains and silver-white ice. It was silent and solemn, and the white air from his mouth filled the air, like a ghost fog. The sound of a horse snorting from time to time made the atmosphere even more frightening and filled with air. Indescribable murderousness.

Above the city wall, the people of Gudi Village were almost petrified.

Most people were so frightened that they couldn’t even utter a word, and some people were even so frightened that they shivered. The hand holding the spear began to tremble.

Almost everyone has heard various rumors about [Blood Dragon Village].

This group of the largest mountain bandits within a radius of 500 miles, notoriously bloodthirsty and ruthless, came to take the roaring wind and traverse the Xuelong Mountain area, no one dared to provoke them, robbed caravans, ransacked villages, robbed people and money, and committed no evil. , Wherever he goes, if he encounters a little resistance, he will be burnt to death, and there will be no chickens and dogs.

However, this gang of ferocious bandits also knows that they can fish in an inexhaustible water. As long as the villages within a radius of a hundred miles express their obedience to the [Blood Dragon Village], they will collect [Blessing Gold] once every four seasons, and they will not loot. Therefore, many similar villages, including [Valley Village], can survive.

under the city.

The head of the knight in black armor is the most burly, and it seems to be at least two meters five in height, as if it is an iron tower. On the top, the bald head, the face and scalp are printed with cyan animal pattern thorn tattoos, which are even more sturdy and terrifying.

The tattooed bald-headed eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a faint flash of green light in the depths of the pupils, as if the eyes were cold and not human.
