Over the past few years, the Northern Mountain Village had undergone a huge change. Due to the establishment of an official academy, a wide road, and some reputable teachers in the Northern Lands Five Constabularies, it was no longer rare for people to come and go.
However, the figures in front of them were definitely an exception.
That was because those figures came from the Cang Ling Mountain. Most importantly, all of them were wearing thick and shiny black armors.
Those were armors that did not belong to the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Of course, most importantly, there were too many of them. There were so many of them that they surged forward like a tidal wave. Among them were countless powerful beasts.
"Army … Army?!" The lady's knowledge was limited. The only thing she could tell was that these were not the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty. However, it was difficult for her to identify who they were.
"Has Brother Zhengzhi returned from the war?" Little Radish's eyes lit up with curiosity and excitement when he heard the word 'army'.
"No, Little Radish, run, it's the enemy … the enemy!"
"Enemy?" Little Radish was clearly confused. After all, how could there be enemies in the Northern Mountain Village?
Who were the enemies?
Why were they here?
To a child who had grown up in the village and was not even six years old, this term was so unfamiliar that he could not understand the meaning behind it.
However, the woman did not give Little Radish any time to think. She carried Little Radish up and quickly ran towards the village.
"Village chief, village chief … there is an army … an army!"
"An army?!"
"What army?"
"The Northern Mountain Village has been sealed. Isn't Prince Cang? How could there be … Ah?! There really is an army. Quick, village chief … an army is coming! "
After hearing the lady's words, the villagers of the Northern Mountain Village walked out of their houses. Soon, the silence in the Northern Mountain Village was completely broken.
Such a commotion had not been heard in the Northern Mountain Village for a long time. Therefore, Village Chief Zhang Yangping, who was preparing dinner in his house, could naturally hear it.
"There is an army?" Village Chief Zhang Yangping popped his head out of the window of his house. His face was filled with all sorts of wrinkles.
However, these were nothing compared to the shock on his face.
Boom! The pot in Village Chief Zhang Ping Yang's hand fell to the ground, and the steaming hot food spilled onto the ground. However, this was no longer important.
"Quick, gather, everyone gather!"
…
"Roar!" A deep roar broke the silence of the village. At the same time, a ferocious beast covered in thick green scales appeared at the entrance of the village.
On the back of the ferocious beast, there was a figure shrouded in a black cloak. His face could not be seen, but his body was filled with a cold aura.
"Vice Domain Chief, our whereabouts seem to have been discovered?" A figure in black armor appeared behind the figure riding the beast, his face full of respect.
What was more special was that there was a Demon Eye on the forehead of this figure.
Blue demonic eyes!
"Yes, I have eyes and I can see." The black figure who was addressed as the Vice Domain Chief nodded his head gently and was not too surprised.
"Sir, please tell us how we should deal with these human villagers?"
"What do you think we should do?" the Vice Domain Chief asked.
"Kill!" A cold voice rang out.
"Idiot, how are we going to wipe off the bloodstains after killing them? It would take more than ten days for the smell of blood to disperse from a village with more than a hundred households. Our target is to take down the Golden Scale City in the Northern Lands and build a granary and supply for the army. If we delay here for too long, once someone comes, our whereabouts will be exposed. "
"Sir, you're right. However, if we leave now, I'm afraid the human villagers will spread the news everywhere. By then, I'm afraid the loss will outweigh the gain …"
"I am naturally aware of this. However, Lord Demon Lord had specially exhorted me before we set off to conceal our movements as much as possible to avoid too many killings. If it wasn't for the fact that there are three troops in this operation, I wouldn't have taken the risk to leave the mountain before the sky turned dark. Sigh … In order to gain merit before the other two troops, I have indeed been negligent this time. I have neglected the village at the foot of the mountain."
"It's just a village. Do you think Sir Demon Lord will blame us?"
"What do you know? Sir Demon Lord will definitely not blame me for a village. However, I heard that this order was given to Sir Demon Lord by 'Young Master' in the letter. Do you want me to go against Young Master's order?" The Vice Domain Chief was slightly angry when he heard this.
"This … I understand Sir's concern. However, since ancient times, those who achieve great things don't bother about trifles. When a general is outside, there are some military orders that cannot be obeyed. Moreover, Sir Demon Lord said to avoid too many killings. We have no choice now. We can't possibly retreat because of this, right?"
"Nonsense. Why would I need you if we can retreat?"
"Sir, please calm down. We are in a dilemma now. We have to follow Young Master and Sir Demon Lord's order but we can't delay the march. I … I … Wait, I got it! I have an idea to avoid Sir Demon Lord and Young Master's blame. "
"Oh? What idea do you have? "
"Bury them alive!"
"Bury them alive? That's simple and easy. There won't be any blood stains or smells left. However, how can we avoid Sir Demon Lord and Young Master's blame? "
"Since we are going to bury them alive, these people were not killed by us. It was an accident …"
"Accident? What do you mean? "
"Milord, think about it carefully. During the period of mutation, there are many strange phenomena. At this time, a bolt of lightning struck the hillside behind the village. In an instant, huge rocks rolled down from the hillside. The villagers were weak and were naturally unable to resist. Following that, the village was destroyed by the rocks. I wonder how Milord would feel about this?"
"Hahaha …" The Vice Domain Chief laughed when he heard this. His eyes were cold under the black cloak. "If that's the case, what are you waiting for?"
"I'll do it now!"
"Hmm, the traces of the lightning strike on the hill must be realistic. There must not be any loopholes. Do you remember?"
"I understand!"
…
At the square of the Northern Mountain Village.
Fear finally appeared on Village Chief Zhang Yangping's face. He wasn't the only one. The villagers behind him who were wielding all kinds of sharp weapons also widened their eyes.
Unlike a few years ago, the people of the Northern Mountain Village no longer used broken weapons like forks, wooden sticks and hatchets. Instead, they used sharp spears and swords.
However, this did not mean that they could fight against the powerful Demon soldiers.
"Demon … Demon Race?!"
"It's the Demon soldiers, how is this possible? Why would they appear in the Northern Mountain Village? How did they come down from the Cang Ling Mountain?! "
"What is that? Why are there such strange beasts around the Demon soldiers? Are they beasts? Beasts that are even more powerful than the Blue Fire Wolf … "
The voices of the villagers rang out continuously. Everyone's eyes were filled with terror. They had lived in the mountain village since they were young and had never seen such powerful Demon soldiers and ferocious beasts.
"Houde, it's the Demon soldiers. Zheng 'er said that the Demon soldiers have Demon Eyes on their foreheads. What … what should we do?" Qin Xuelian grabbed Fang Houde's arm tightly. Her slightly wrinkled face looked a little pale, but she did not escape immediately.
"Don't be afraid … I'm here, I …" Fang Houde's face was also a little pale. As a simple villager, his abilities were limited.
Facing such a huge army of Demon soldiers, even though he really wanted to say "I'm here to protect you", he could not say the words.
It was not fear, but hopelessness.
"Stop right there!" At this moment, a voice was heard. Then, a figure wearing a long robe and dressed like a teacher walked out from the crowd.
He looked to be close to 60 years old. However, perhaps because he had been teaching for many years, he had a dignified aura about him.
He was the current dean of the Northern Mountain Village College, 'Mister Mo Cheng'.
This was an elegant nickname, not his real name. However, Mister Mo Cheng had always been proud of his elegant nickname, so the villagers were naturally used to it.
"Mister Mo Cheng!"
"Dean Mo!"
"Teacher!"
When they saw Mister Mo Cheng stand out from the crowd, all the villagers, including Village Chief Zhang Yangping, looked nervous. After all, it was a Demon soldier who appeared in front of them.
"Take him down!" The Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Soldiers, who was standing near Mister Mo Cheng, gave the order the moment he saw Mister Mo Cheng stand out. He did not even have the intention to talk.
After all, to the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Soldiers, any conversation was undoubtedly nonsense.
"What … are you guys trying to do? This is the Northern Mountain Village, the territory of the Great Xia. How dare the Demon Race cross the line and invade my territory? " When Mister Mo Cheng saw a Demon soldier rushing over, he was a little surprised and immediately scolded loudly.
However, he did not receive any reply.
Clang! The Demon soldier drew his sword and took three steps forward. He was already in front of Mister Mo Cheng. At the same time, a beam of cold light flashed past.
However, something unexpected happened …
The beam of cold light stopped less than an inch in front of Mister Mo Cheng's throat. It was Mister Mo Cheng's two fingers that stopped the beam of cold light.
There was a black metal ring on each of Mister Mo Cheng's fingers. There were even spots of cold light flickering on the rings.
"Eh?" The Demon Soldier was astonished when he saw that Mr Mo Cheng had caught his long sword. He instinctively withdrew his sword and kicked at Mr Mo Cheng at the same time.
However, to the Demon soldier's surprise, he did not draw his sword, and his kick was met with a huge resistance before it even landed on Lin Li.
Then, a gust of Qi crashed into his shoulder.
Boom! There was an explosion.
The Demon soldier's body flew out and then smashed onto the ground. His thick black armor cracked from the impact, revealing traces of blood.
"As the dean of the Northern Mountain Village Academy, I will definitely not allow you Demon soldiers to harm the village. If you leave now, Mo Cheng …"
"It turns out that there are really nerds among the humans. You had the chance to kill him, but you purposely held back. What's the point of keeping such a pedantic person?" The Vice Domain Chief looked at the Demon Soldier on the ground and smiled.
Then, he moved.
He turned into a stream of light and appeared in front of Mister Mo Cheng. At the same time, a spot of light flashed past Mister Mo Cheng's forehead.
It disappeared in a flash.
It was so fast that Mister Mo Cheng did not even have the chance to resist.
"You …" Mister Mo Cheng's eyes widened and a drop of blood flowed down from his forehead. He looked at the black figure in front of him in disbelief.
But soon, this disbelief turned into fear, extreme fear.
That was because the figure under the cloak had taken off his hood and revealed a face that was as cold as frost. A cold murderous aura filled the air.
Most importantly, there was a blood-red Demon Eye on the figure's forehead.
"We don't have much time. Finish them all within 15 minutes!"
"Yes!" After the Vice Domain Chief gave his order, the few Demon soldiers who had been following behind him stepped forward. Every single one of them had an extremely cold aura.
"What … What do you guys want? Do you want money or food? We have it … We can give you as much as you want … "Village Chief Zhang Yangping looked at Mister Mo Cheng who was lying on the ground and then at the trembling villagers behind him. His face was as pale as a sheet.
"Silver? Food? Haha … "The Demon soldiers laughed coldly. Then, they looked at Village Chief Zhang Yangping and said," Are you the village chief here? "
"Yes, yes, yes, I am!"
"Hmm, very good. Now, listen to my orders and check if everyone is here. If you miss anyone, don't blame me for slaughtering your entire village!"
"Everyone?"
"That's right, check immediately, otherwise …"
"Are you guys going to gather all of us together and kill us all at once?" At this moment, a crisp voice was heard.
The voice was not loud and sounded very young. However, it was very clear and filled with a naive and pure aura.
The Demon soldiers were stunned when they heard the voice. Then, they turned to look at a figure who had emerged from the crowd.
He was short, with big, black eyes and a slightly large head.
"Little Radish, come back quickly!"
"Quick, Little Radish …"
When the village women saw little radish emerge from the crowd, all of their faces paled completely. Their expressions were filled with extreme fear.
