Chapter 500: World Border Journey (14)

The sun is high in the sky.

The scorching sun mercilessly burned the boundless desert, and the rolling heat waves licked every inch of dry land like tongues of fire, making the sweat of the soldiers trekking through it dry up in the wind, but quickly soaked with sweat again, as if they were in a furnace.

"Sister, sister...we, huh...how long do we have to walk?" The magical girl soldier, who was about 18 years old, was breathing heavily. She walked forward with difficulty using her magic wand to support her body, while she acted pitifully and coquettishly towards the elder sister in front of her.

They followed the troops from Baihua City and had been struggling through this seemingly endless sea of ​​sand for a day. The climate in the desert was extremely hot during the day, and every step they took would sink deeply into the sand. The grip and resistance of the quicksand was like an evil ghost constantly pulling them down, which made their already limited physical strength drain faster.

"Hold on a little longer, it will probably take another half a day to reach Beech City." Yun Yi, the magic soldier who was her elder sister, answered while looking up at the team ahead that was moving further and further away.

Before they knew it, they were almost separated from the main group! Once they got lost from the main group, it would be impossible for the two weak magic soldiers to survive in this desert full of demons.

"Yuyi, hurry up, sister will carry you." Yunyi turned around immediately and anxiously prepared to carry her sister on her back to catch up with the troops.

But it was this turn around that made her suddenly stunned on the spot.

"?!!"

They saw an eagle-like demon with a pair of huge wings spread floating in the sky behind them!

Desert Lion-Eagle; an extremely ferocious flying demon species that is good at hiding in the sky and waiting for an opportunity to hunt. It often feeds on humans who are lost and alone in the desert.

It was obvious that this desert lion eagle had been following the two people who were gradually getting away from being alone for a long time, and was ready to pounce on them at any time, but they had not noticed it at all!

Yun Yi's face turned pale in an instant.

At this moment, in the sharp and cold eyes of the lion eagle, the figures of the two magic female soldiers in the endless desert were like two frightened little white rabbits, a rare meal! And when it found that the prey that had been lurking for a long time had noticed it, it also swooped down at high speed and launched the long-awaited hunting attack!

Whoosh!!
At this moment, the air seemed to be torn apart by its wings, and bursts of low roars echoed. The lion eagle had not yet approached the ground, but the huge air pressure had already blown up the dust on the ground, and an overwhelming shadow covered the sky, like a dark cloud covering the sun!

"Yuyi, danger!"

Yun Yi, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression, pulled her completely frightened sister to her side, and almost instinctively protected her behind her, while bravely holding the magic wand in her hand across her chest.

Having said that, Yun Yi still fell into deep despair at this moment, because she knew very well that in front of demons of this level, they had no room for resistance at all!

In the blink of an eye——

Deng!
A dazzling prismatic ball of light suddenly shot out from the ground in another direction without any warning towards the side of the Desert Lion Eagle in the air. In just a moment, it was like an indestructible laser, piercing through its scales that were as hard as iron! A large amount of blood immediately splashed in the air, like a gorgeous blood-red firework exploding.
“Jiu-ah!!”

Accompanied by the shrill cry of an eagle, the king of the sky, as if it had suffered a fatal blow, flapped its wings a few times, and soon fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string, and slammed into the desert. The powerful impact force stirred up a sky full of dust.

Not far from the spot where the demon fell, Yun Yi covered her mouth with one hand while coughing, and held her sister tightly in her arms with the other hand. In the rolling dust, she still tried to open her eyes and look at the sand dunes not far away.

There, the silver-haired man with fluttering robes slowly withdrew his hand, glanced at the sisters with a pair of indifferent eyes, and as if to confirm that they were fine, he turned around and disappeared on the sand dune.

That is? Lord Wang Yao?

While Yun Yi was feeling thankful for having survived the disaster, she was looking in disbelief at the sand dunes that seemed as if no one had ever been there.

"Are you guys okay?"

Just as Yun Yi was still lost in thought, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded from not far away.

Yun Yi turned around and saw a group of three male and two female soldiers walking towards them. Yun Yi recognized them immediately; after all, these five people had just defeated their 5 soldiers from Baihua City yesterday. They were really impressive.

At the same time, Yun Yi also knew that these five people were the soldiers who had the closest relationship with the team leader Wang Yao.

"Why don't you call for help if you fall behind? It's very dangerous to fall behind the team like this." Ling Jingsi said with some blame as he stretched out his hand and pulled the two sisters up from the ground.

"I'm sorry." The younger sister lowered her head in grievance. She was still shaking with fear.

Yun Yi also said with some guilt: "Sorry, we don't want to cause trouble to the team. After all, we took the initiative to ask to follow."

"What are you talking about?" Hearing this, Ling Feng said angrily: "Since you are willing to follow Lord Wang Yao, then you are our companions. Is there anything wrong with companions causing trouble?"

The Zhang brothers winked and agreed, "That's right. Next time you run out of energy, remember to call us. We can carry you! Hehe, just don't say we're taking advantage of you."

Hearing the Zhang brothers' malicious laughter, Ling Jingsi couldn't help but raise the Blazing Ruler and hit the two of them hard as a warning: "Don't have any bad thoughts about your companions!"

The Zhang brothers cried out in pain, holding their heads in their hands.

"Thank you, thank you." Yun Yi looked at the enthusiastic and kind people with some emotion, and a little warmth rose in her heart unconsciously. Serving in such an army gave her a rare sense of solid belonging.

Afterwards, with the help of the Zhang brothers who had sad faces, the group finally caught up with the front troops.

"Jingsi, why would Lord Wang Yao condescend to save us soldiers?" In the middle of the conversation, the magic soldier Yun Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Him." Ling Jingsi looked around and found that Wang Yao was nowhere to be found. He smiled unconsciously, "That gentleman is like this. In fact, he just looks a little cold, but he is really good to us soldiers. Even though it seems that he can't be found anywhere now, he is actually paying attention to each and every one of us all the time."

"So, Lord Wang Yao was able to save me and my sister in time just now? Because he was watching us?" The younger sister asked with shining eyes. In her world, it was an extreme honor to be cared for and protected by a hero at all times!

As for her sister Yun Yi, she said sadly with some lack of confidence: "Really? Are there any heroes who care about the life and death of us soldiers?" Anyway, over the years, no hero has ever really looked at them seriously. Those heroes only regarded them as tools and pawns, and as stepping stones to their ambitions for hegemony.

Ling Jingsi said instinctively: "You can trust Lord Wang Yao, he is the only one and the most special!"

Zhang Ji at the side couldn't help but say: "Maybe this is also the reason why your former captain Jin Yong was willing to follow."

Yun Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense. She immediately said with deep emotion: "Perhaps, now I can understand the feelings of Captain Jin Yong to some extent. Lord Wang Yao is indeed worthy of our wholehearted following!"

"Yes, Lord Wang Yao is very powerful." Ling Jingsi smiled with some pride, as if she was the one being praised.

Half a day later, the team finally arrived outside the Jumu City. Under Wang Yao's instructions, Ling Jingsi and the other five people began to deploy their troops according to the fighting methods instructed by Wang Yao.

However, before the battle, the old rules were followed, with Wang Yao personally going to the front to call for orders, while Hua Mulan and other heroes stayed in the rear.

"I have no intention of starting a quarrel. I have come here only to find the lost relatives of my soldiers."

Wang Yao's opening remarks were exactly the same as yesterday: "If possible, please open the city gates and allow us to go into the city to investigate. If my soldiers have family members serving here, please allow them to recognize each other and freely choose to stay or leave. If not, we will go in to rest for a night and leave tomorrow!"

There are no heroic units stationed in Beech City. The person currently in charge of guarding the entire town is a slightly fierce captain with a scar on his face.

After hearing Wang Yao's 'arrogant declaration', the leading captain couldn't help but sneer: "Whose pants were torn and you were exposed? Who do you think you are? You are so arrogant. You dare to challenge our Beech City with a team of only 1000 people?"

In the eyes of the captain of ten thousand men, Wang Yao's thousand men are not enough to fill their teeth. After all, their Jumu City currently has a total of 2.7 defenders!

"Since you have objections to this, how about we have a duel to decide the winner?" Wang Yao continued, "In order to avoid a large number of casualties on both sides, I will only send out 5 people in this duel, and you can send out 50 people. Both sides will fight fairly on the same field. If my 5 soldiers lose, we will leave immediately and guarantee that we will not harm anyone! But if my soldiers win, you have to open the city gates and let us in. How do you think?"

Wang Yao's words naturally drew laughter from the countless defenders on the city wall. Was this man crazy? Just five people wanted to fight against 5 of them?
What's more, there are 2.7 of them, and a spit from each of them can drown the other side. In this situation, who would have the time to play a game of house against the other side?

The leading captain was even more disdainful and contemptuous: "You don't understand what I'm saying, right? I'm not in the mood to play house with you, get out of here! Otherwise, my 2 defenders will go out and kill you all on the spot!"

The arrogant attitude of the captain made Jin Yong, who had a hot temper, unable to bear it any longer: "How dare you! Lord Wang Yao doesn't want the soldiers to die in this meaningless siege. Don't be ungrateful! Come down if you dare. Do you believe that I can beat ten of you alone?!"

Jin Yong's words also caused a series of reactions from those around him, and the soldiers began to shout and curse.

"Do you know who this gentleman is?!"

"I gave you a chance but you didn't know how to cherish it!"

"In front of this lord, do you think having more people will help?!"

It's okay to insult them, but it's not okay to insult the object of their worship!

Wang Yao raised his hand and gently stopped the excited soldiers in the rear and Jin Yong who was about to roll up his sleeves to go into battle.

Facing the enemy's insults and ridicule, he remained calm. He raised his eyes and asked, "As the lord of a city, you don't even agree to a request for a fair fight between the two sides and to reduce unnecessary sacrifices. Can I assume that you are a bully who doesn't want the world to be fair?"

The captain was very conceited and said sarcastically, "What's fair or unfair? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy! Whoever has the stronger fist has the right to speak. This is an eternal truth. How can you survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak with your naivety?"

Understood.

Wang Yao nodded silently, then gently raised his hand, spread out his five fingers and pointed them at the tall city gate a hundred meters away.

Seeing this, the enemy soldiers on the city wall laughed and started to mock: "Hey, what are you trying to do? If you want to surrender, you should raise your hands!"

"You want to blast open our city gate from a distance? You're just a fool!"

"You think you're a hero!"

The next second—

Gudong!

The sky and the earth suddenly became dim, and a terrifying and powerful magical power suddenly emerged from Wang Yao's body. The incomparably powerful magical energy fluctuations forcibly distorted the space, and rolled up flying sand on the spot. Then a giant prismatic light bullet shot out from Wang Yao's palm.

1st skill [East Wind Attack]!
At this moment, the sunlight was obscured by a strong blue light, and the prismatic light bullet crossed a distance of a hundred meters at lightning speed, like a thunder carrying supreme power, and hit the city gate violently in the blink of an eye.

Guboom!!
The heaven and earth shook violently, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the power of a storm erupted in an instant! The magic energy like a sharp blade tore through the solid structure of the city gate, and the thick stone wall also collapsed instantly. When the violent flame mushrooms rose into the sky, countless ruins and a small number of corpses of the Beech City defenders flew in the air, interweaving into a chaotic and cruel scene.

Destroy the city with one strike!
2.7 enemy soldiers: "(Speech)?!!"

Damn, this wasn't just about blowing open the city gate, it was about blowing up the entire city tower! !
The 2.7 defenders of Beech City opened the gates and surrendered on the spot.

The team was able to enter the city smoothly, and the soldiers began to inquire about the news of their families.

Unfortunately, there was still no gain.

Wang Yao was not discouraged, but gathered the surrendered soldiers of Jumu City in the square: "I will not occupy your city. I will only rest here for one night and replenish the necessary food, water and money. Tomorrow we will continue to head deep into the desert. If any of you have family members who are separated in the territory of other forces and cannot meet each other, you can choose to go with us. I will do my best to help you find your families."

In this battle of Jumu City, the number of soldiers under Wang Yao's command expanded to 4615.
