Chapter 164: Three Entrances to the Canyon
In the evening, the setting sun is like blood.

In the city of Jingzhou, there were obviously fewer civilians who usually came and went, and instead, there were fully armed soldiers coming in an endless stream.

Since the news of the war was released, under the arrangement of the top leaders, various troops have begun to transport combat supplies to the canyon in an orderly manner, such as combat rations, spare weapons and armor, first aid medicines, etc.
At this time, a steady stream of troops were gathering.

Wang Yao stood in the corridor outside his own pavilion, overlooking the bustling Jingzhou city alone.

The young men bid farewell to their loved ones, picked up sharp swords, put on armor, transformed themselves into soldiers, and gathered on the main road in the city center from countless streets and alleys. Like countless ants, they emerged from various holes, and then swarmed towards the north gate of Jingzhou in a black mass.

Crack—crack—

The rubbing and colliding of armor and weapons was the sound of drums that boosted morale.

"You must come back safely!"

"No problem, all the heroes of our Shu Kingdom are here this time!"

"Shu will win, will win!"

Civilians poked their heads out of doors, windows, and rooftops, some cheering and shouting, some reluctant to leave, to show their proud army a good return, and also to see off their children, brothers, and friends.

At this moment, Wang Yao felt both heroic and sad.

The autumn wind and the sword bring tears to the lonely city; the setting sun and the flags bring the general to the altar!
No one wants to fight, and for many soldiers, the canyon battlefield will be the end of many of them. But even so, in times of crisis, they still stood up without hesitation. This integrity alone is worthy of praise.

A familiar faint body fragrance spread from behind.

Wang Yao turned around and saw Luna, leaning against the door sill behind him, looking at him.

Wang Yao smiled slightly, gently took the girl's soft hand, pulled her to his side, and leaned against the corridor with her, watching the joys and sorrows of Jingzhou City.

After a while, Luna said softly, "You have to be careful. This time I'm guarding the middle lane, so I can't go over to help you like before. Although I told Xiao Adou to take good care of you in the top lane, but..."

Wang Yao turned around, touched the worried girl's head, and said with a smile: "Do you have so little confidence in me? Who am I? The best soldier in the canyon! This time, I am confident that I can destroy the three defense towers of the Wei Kingdom!"

"I don't want you to take the risk of destroying any defense towers. I just want you to be alive." Luna blurted out, and then realized what she was saying. Her pretty face blushed slightly, but her tone was still firm, "As long as you are alive, that's all."

Hearing this, Wang Yao felt a little warm inside.

In this cold world where soldiers are regarded as ants and heroes are the most important, the girl beside him is the only one who cares about him the most. He couldn't help but hold the girl's soft hands and said, "Don't worry, when we get to the canyon, I will definitely act with my own safety as the premise."

"Then we have an agreement." Luna then revealed a sweet smile of relief.

At this moment, there was a loud explosion, and the whole Jingzhou was shaken!

In the distant north of the city, a huge blue light curtain suddenly rose from the ground like a miracle, like a volcano suddenly erupting. The light instantly covered the blood-red sunset and turned half of the night sky into a brilliant blue.

The teleportation matrix has been activated!
Luna glanced at the vaguely outlined 'huge gate' in the north, then looked at Wang Yao seriously: "I'm leaving!"

As the mid-lane guardian of this war, Luna needs to enter the canyon in advance.

"Uh, Nizi, wait a minute." Wang Yao suddenly grabbed the girl who was about to leave, "Give me a buff before you leave?"

"What do you mean by adding a Bafo?" Luna stopped with a confused look on her face.

Looking at the girl's face that became more and more beautiful under the blue light, Wang Yao showed a sly smile that he only showed to her.

"It's a buff that adds strength."

"Ah? Ugh."

The secluded Jingzhou, the towering gate, and the blue halo all over the sky, at this moment, all become the background, embellishing the most beautiful picture in the world.

It seemed like eternity, but it was only a moment. Luna suddenly seemed to remember something and pushed Wang Yao away with a red face: "Okay, uncle is still downstairs."

"Oh, it's my uncle again." Wang Yao was a little depressed. Why was it that every time he had something to do with Luna, Huang Zhong would always make a scene?
Seeing Wang Yao's face full of unsatisfied thoughts, Luna couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and asked with a deliberately stern face, "Have you added your buff?"

"Only half, but I think I should be able to fight ten now." Wang Yao winked at the girl and posed like a strongman.

Luna was not good at pretending to be angry. Seeing Wang Yao's excited look, she burst into laughter. Then her smile became even stronger: "Then behave well. When I come back, I can consider rewarding you a little!"

The girl's eyes were so bright, reflecting the blue light of the night sky, making her even more beautiful. Even the most perfect gem in the world would be eclipsed in front of her.
When Wang Yao came to his senses, the woman had already jumped down the building as light as a swallow and disappeared into the distance, but her faint body fragrance was still around him.

"It would be the best if it was the only reward." Wang Yao muttered distractedly and slowly walked downstairs. In the lobby on the first floor, Huang Zhong had locked his precious cannon on his right arm and seemed to be preparing to go out. When he saw Wang Yao, he asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

"I'll be there as soon as I pack my things," Wang Yao said.

Huang Zhong nodded, said nothing more, and was about to go out.

Huang Zhong was guarding the bottom lane and was not on the same line as Wang Yao.

"uncle."

Behind him, Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally called out to Huang Zhong: "I'm sorry."

Huang Zhong looked back at Wang Yao and frowned slightly.

Wang Yao said: "It was when we were fighting Wu in the canyon before. I was blocking the soldiers from leaving the tower, and you scolded me, saying that the tower is the most precious resource in the canyon as long as the soldiers are there. I didn't understand at that time and contradicted you."

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently: "You were such an arrogant captain at that time, why do you want to apologize to an old man like me now?"

Wang Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "Because at that time, I didn't know that the energy crystal inside the defense tower was related to the survival of the land under our feet."

"You...you even know this?" Huang Zhong's expression changed slightly.

"The military advisor told me."

"Zhuge Liang?"

Huang Zhong seemed to have gotten to know Wang Yao all over again. He stared at him for a long time with a strange look on his face. At the end, he muttered to himself, "This is weird. How could the military advisor tell such an important secret to a soldier like you? Could it be that you, little kid, are also the descendant of a declining family among the 22 families?"

"I don't think so." Wang Yao smiled. He knew very well that he was not a native of the King's Continent.

"Huh, maybe Zhuge Liang has his own considerations." Shaking his head, Huang Zhong looked at Wang Yao meaningfully. For the first time, he said in a gentle tone, "In this matter, I respect Zhuge Liang's decision. At his level, there are many things that even I cannot ask about. But I think you should understand, right? Once this secret is leaked, it will definitely cause unnecessary panic."

Before Huang Zhong could finish, Wang Yao interrupted him and said, "I know the pros and cons of this. Don't worry, uncle. I won't tell the other soldiers."

Huang Zhong, who had been planning to give Wang Yao a good lesson, was stunned for a moment. As he looked at Wang Yao, he gradually began to appreciate him: "It's good that you can figure it out yourself."

After a pause, he said with some emotion: "As for an apology, forget it. Just don't think that I am a cold-blooded and heartless old man like other soldiers. Although I don't like you soldiers, I won't push you into the fire pit because of this. It's because our Shu Kingdom has reached a precarious point. Sometimes, although it is helpless, some sacrifices are always necessary."

"I understand." Wang Yao nodded.

"Okay, go and prepare yours. It's time for me to leave too." Huang Zhong waved his hand. The misunderstanding was resolved, and the old man seemed to be in a much better mood. But after turning around and taking a few steps, he stopped again.

"Be careful in the canyon battlefield. Old man, I'm waiting for you to come back and continue cooking for me!"

After Huang Zhong left, Wang Yao returned to the bedroom on the second floor alone and began to put on his equipment.

Shadow Ninja Boots, Violent T-shirt, Resurrection Armor that has been cooled down, Armor-piercing Bow, Infinity War.

When all the equipment was put on, an endless sense of powerful strength began to spread and surge throughout Wang Yao's body, and along with it, his eyes, which were as bright as swords even in the dark, also boiled!

The night road is long and deserted.

Wang Yao walked silently step by step in a specific direction, his heavy shadow ninja feet making rhythmic clicking sounds with every step.

In the open wilderness, black figures slowly appeared. They were the neatly arranged Seventh Main Force, 1000 soldiers!
The soldiers were dressed in bright armor, holding shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands. The cold wind was bleak, but they were all silent. Only when they saw Wang Yao did they salute their captain with a standard military salute, and then made way for a human-shaped passage in the middle.
Wang Yao walked straight through the middle aisle without saying a word. At the same time, a centurion in the queue raised his hand silently.

The huge army of a thousand people, like a giant dragon that saw what it was looking for, began to follow in unison, advancing in an orderly manner towards the magnificent azure "giant gate" in the distance. Except for the rustling of armor rubbing against each other, there was no other sound.

Sudden--

At the horizon, amid the roar of machinery and steam, a boy wearing a crown without tassels appeared in front, driving a tripod-shaped mecha with four limbs.

The troops stopped.

The young centurion stepped out alone and walked in front of the giant mechanical beast that was two meters tall.

"I am the captain of the Seventh Main Force, Wang Yao."

"The little overlord of Chengdu is so powerful!"
