Chapter 17 Heading to the Canyon
"Fighting a war?"

The sudden news made Wang Yao's face turn pale.

No matter what, this moment finally came, but even though he was mentally prepared, Wang Yao still couldn't help feeling panicked at this moment.

"Run! Go back to the gathering place!" Maomao shouted to Wang Yao who was in a daze, and then he quickened his pace and ran forward.

The five of them hurried back to the gathering place. Su An seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw them, he said seriously, "I just received a message from the signalman. The military advisor urgently ordered the first sixty squads of the vanguard troops of the road corps to gather at the base camp. Now, pack up your equipment and follow me immediately!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and started packing up quickly.

Wang Yao looked at his teammates who seemed to have changed into different people in an instant, hesitated for a moment, turned to Su An and said, "Captain, I want to go home first!"

"No! The military situation is urgent and no one can be left behind." Su An refused directly without even asking for a reason.

"It's a very important matter. I promise I will catch up!" Wang Yao looked straight at Su An, his black eyes full of stubbornness.

Looking at the stubborn Wang Yao, Su An thought for a second and replied with only four words: "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Seeing Wang Yao turning around and running towards Jingzhou City, Xiao Ye couldn't help but say to Shi Liang beside him: "Is this guy not going to come back after returning to Jingzhou?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I don't have any hope for him." Shi Liang curled his lips and continued to pack his things.

He ran back to Jingzhou City. The civilians all looked at Wang Yao in surprise. The war was about to start, so why was this soldier running back?
At this moment, Wang Yao didn't care about the strange looks around him. He only had one thing in mind: at least, he had to take that thing with him!

He rushed to the door of his house, and before Wang Yao could react, he bumped into Luna who was just about to go out. She felt warm and soft, but Wang Yao flew backwards as if he had hit a wall.

Fortunately, Luna was quick to grab Wang Yao's hand, thus preventing Wang Yao from falling.

"Why are you back?"

"Do you want to go out?"

At the door of the house, the two asked each other in unison, and then fell into silence, because they both knew what had happened and what they were about to face.

Wang Yao saw the nervousness in Luna's eyes, and Luna saw the panic in Wang Yao's eyes.

"I came back to get something." Wang Yao said.

"Well, I'm also preparing to go meet the military advisor." Luna said.

"Then go quickly. I have to rush to the meeting after I get my things." Wang Yao said, and prepared to go into the building.

"You have to pay more attention to safety!" Luna suddenly said from behind.

Wang Yao turned around and saw Luna said seriously, "I promised you that I would protect you on the battlefield, but I have to go to the central army camp to listen to the military advisor's instructions, so I will definitely arrive at the front later than you. Before that, don't be reckless and wait for me!"

Seeing Luna's worried face, Wang Yao was touched and nodded, "Don't worry, I will be careful. You should be careful too!"

"Yeah!" Luna nodded and left first.

After entering the building, Wang Yao saw himself in the bronze mirror when he passed the bathroom. His face was pale and his eyes were flustered. Haha, no wonder Luna was worried.

Running back to the bedroom on the second floor, Wang Yao hid the phone on the bedside table under his armor, fumbled under the bed for a while, and dragged out the black sword that he "bought" with Luna's 250 gold coins. The moment he grasped the hilt, a mysterious power once again poured into his hands through the cold hilt.

Feeling the power filling his hands, Wang Yao's panicked heart calmed down a lot. He took a deep breath of oxygen and comforted himself: "It's better than nothing."

When they hurried to the base camp, they saw no less than 600 soldiers gathered in the huge open space. They were probably the first teams of the vanguard unit. They were neatly arranged into columns, and their swords and shields were shining in the sun. At first glance, they looked like diamonds, spectacular and dazzling. Right in front of these teams, a dozen senior captain-level soldiers were gathered together talking about something, and Su An was among them.

In the dense crowd, Wang Yao saw a small hand waving at him. It was Maomao. Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief because their armor and clothes were all the same blue color, and they all had helmets on their faces. It would be very troublesome for him to distinguish their own team from them.

Quickly returning to his team, Wang Yao asked, "Am I not late?"

"No." Maomao responded in a low voice, and at the same time saw the black sword in Wang Yao's hand: "This sword?"

"Oh, my sword. I just went home to get it." Wang Yao said.

"Oh, I see. When we were distributing the weapons just now, I specifically asked for an extra shield and a sword. Since you already have your own weapons, take the shield with you." Maomao handed a soldier's shield to Wang Yao as he spoke.

To be honest, Wang Yao feels very lucky to be on the same team with such a gentle and considerate girl.

"Thank you." Wang Yao took the shield but frowned slightly. This shield weighed at least ten kilograms, which increased Wang Yao's burden. If it were not for the power of the black sword, Wang Yao would not be able to walk far with this equipment, let alone fight!
The captain was right, he really needed to strengthen his physical training.

At this time, Wang Yao suddenly heard two soldiers from the 18th squad next door talking in low voices.

"I heard that the ones attacking us this time are the Black Armored Army of Wei."

"No way?! I thought it was Wu again, but it turned out to be Wei"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either. I also heard that the State of Wei seems to have destroyed the first defense tower on our route to the upper army." "How is that possible? Although the State of Wei is very powerful, the first defense tower on our route to the upper army has not even been destroyed by the State of Wu!"

"I heard that the Wei State took advantage of the darkness and our army's shift to capture the first defense tower last night. All the brothers of the 57th and 83rd squads stationed there were killed."

"Alas, this battle is not going to be easy."

Just as Wang Yao was listening intently, a roar suddenly came from the front: "Silence!"

With a bang, 600 soldiers stood at attention at the same time, and the whole place was in dead silence!

Being in the middle of it, Wang Yao was frightened by the fierce momentum of the army. He saw a burly soldier walking out from among the captains in charge of leading the teams in front of him.

"That is Captain Shangguan, the captain of the first squad of our vanguard unit. The strength of our vanguard unit is arranged according to the order of team numbers. The first squad is the best of our vanguard unit, so the person responsible for issuing general orders is usually this Captain Shangguan." Maomao explained softly to Wang Yao behind him.

Shangguan Wei's voice was extremely loud: "I believe you have all heard it. Yes, the people attacking us now are the Black Armored Army of Wei! In addition, I also want to tell you that the first defense tower on our route has been destroyed by Wei, and all the troops stationed there have been killed!"

There was a sudden commotion in the team.

The Shangguan Wei also suppressed the commotion with a louder voice: "Everyone knows that we are the vanguard of the Upper Army, and we have always been responsible for defending the Upper Army Route. The destruction of the first defense tower this time is undoubtedly a shame for us! Therefore, the task given to us by the military advisor is to recapture the first defense tower and open up a new path for our heroes. Do you have the confidence?!"

"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Very good!" Captain Shangguan nodded with satisfaction, then took a deep breath and shouted: "For glory! Fight to become the next hero!!"

“——Roar!!!”

The warriors roared fiercely like wild beasts!
The earth-shaking roar burned into everyone's heart like a fire, including Wang Yao's heart, burning away the uneasiness and fear that lingered in his heart.

Looking at the excited soldiers, Wang Yao was infected and felt for no reason that their battalion army would definitely be able to recapture the first defense tower. Perhaps this was the charm of a powerful army.

The 600-man army began to march northward in a mighty manner. Following behind Su An, Wang Yao couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

"The teleportation site in the north." Maomao answered from behind.

"Teleporting relics? What are those?" Wang Yao asked.

Maomao said: "It is a miracle left over from ancient times. Only through it can we quickly reach the canyon battlefield."

miracle?
Although Wang Yao still had some questions at this time, Su An in front of him said "quiet", which forced him to swallow all his questions temporarily. He shut up and followed the team to the front, thinking that it would not be too late to ask again when he had the chance.

Soon, some vague outlines began to appear in the distant front.

It was a very strange mountain, with towering sides and a concave middle. From a distance, it looked like the Chinese character "口" without the horizontal line on top. It looked like a huge stone door, but it seemed to be cut in the middle by an unknown ghostly force.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the team at the rear.

"Look, those are the heroes of our Shu Kingdom!" Maomao suddenly shouted excitedly behind him.

Wang Yao looked back and saw that Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Luna, and the show-stealing Zhuge Liang were walking slowly from the other side of the army like stars.

Wherever he passed, the soldiers cheered loudly, which shows that the status of heroes in people's hearts is astonishingly lofty. Just now, Captain Shangguan had to spend a lot of time talking to boost the morale of the troops. This is even more amazing. The troops were already excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood before he said a word!
He walked to the front of the army and seemed to say a few words to Shangguan Wei. Then Liu Bei and his men took the lead and walked towards the strange mountain.

"What are they going to do?" Wang Yao asked.

Su An looked up at the mountain and replied with a stern look: "Activate the teleportation array."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and a blue light as dazzling as the sun suddenly appeared!

Based on the mysterious mountain, a huge blue light curtain burst out from the top of the mountain into the sky, forming a half-solid, half-illusory gate with a radius of more than 100 meters wide? !

Wang Yao stared at the bizarre miracle before him in amazement. The mountain that looked like the "lower half of the door" was like a projector, casting blue light into the sky. Finally, the blue light, based on the mountain, turned into the "upper half of the door". The combination of the two became the great miracle before him. Inside this "door", there was a scenery that was completely different from the desolate area nearby.

This looks just like the orc portals in the movie "Warcraft"!
"Hurry up!" Just as Wang Yao was stunned, Maomao pushed him from behind.

The troops have begun to pass through the portal!
Before Wang Yao had time to think carefully, he was led by the huge crowd to walk into the portal. In the crowd, Wang Yao couldn't help but look at the four heroes standing far away at one end of the door, and happened to meet Luna's eyes who was looking at him.

Luna's rosy thin lips moved silently.

Watching the changes in the girl's mouth shape, Wang Yao read out what she was about to say.

"Be careful."

　As promised, I present the latest chapter. I hope all my friends still have their votes, haha. By the way, the early part of this book is mainly described from the perspective of a soldier, and the confrontation between heroes begins in the middle and late stages. Those who are looking forward to stepping on Han Xin and Li Bai and punching Ying Zheng and Liu Bei need to be more patient.
