Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chaoqiu City, City Lord's Mansion. \u003c\u003e\u003c???\u003e

The city lord, Chao Wen, felt his eyelids twitching all the time early this morning. He always felt that something big was going to happen, but after much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what it would be. However, as the lord of a city, even though his heart was agitated, Chao Wen still showed his usual composure, and even walked around the garden to see the precious flowers and trees carefully cared for by the slaves.

The leisurely fragrance of the precious flowers and trees in the garden has the effect of calming the mind, so Chao Wen likes to think about things in the garden.

Hearing the familiar fragrance, Chao Wen's feeling of irritability faded a lot, but he didn't dare to be careless. Being able to become the city lord of Chaoqiu City and make Chaoqiu City stable until now is naturally capable. He believed in his intuition .

What is it?

Chao Wen lowered his head slightly, looking at a clump of green vegetation in front of him.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden cry.

"It's not good! It's not good, father!"

A well-dressed young man rushed over panting.

Chao Wen frowned, he always taught his children not to be surprised, to be calm in everything, and his children usually behaved well, why are they so impulsive today?

"Why are you so panicked?!" Chao Wen didn't speak loudly, but his tone was stern, obviously dissatisfied with the behavior of the visitor.

It was Chao Wen's eldest son, Chao Chuan, who rushed over, and he was the most likely to inherit the position of city lord in the future. On weekdays, Chao Chuan also tried his best to win his father's favor, imitating his father's posture by four or five, but today It was really shocking, and he didn't have the composure of the past, but at least he was brought back to his senses by Chao Wen's tone.

After a pause, taking a deep breath, Chao Chuan quickly said, "The sentinel sent news that someone is coming!"

Ever since the situation became turbulent, Chao Wen sent out a group of sentry guards to monitor the movements around Chao Qiu City, and to report any changes. There were also some things that happened during this period, but they were all minor troubles.

Hearing what Chao Chuan said, Chao Wen's eyebrows trembled. Could this be the reason why he was uneasy all morning?

"Who is here?" Chao Wen asked.

"No... I don't know."

Seeing that Chao Wen's brows tightened again, Chao Chuan hurriedly continued,

"Although I don't know who they are, the sentinel said that maybe... maybe... they came from there!" He pointed to a direction, which was the direction of the sea.

"Where did they come from?" Chao Wen wondered, "Is it the same tribe as the Changzhou tribe?"

The Changzhou tribe would come to Chaoqiu City to trade from time to time. This Chaowen knew about it, but so far, all he knew was the special case of the Changzhou tribe. I heard that the tribe on the other side of the sea is very weak, and the Changzhou tribe is the strongest there. tribe.

The theory that the Changzhou is the strongest is actually a bragging of the Changzhou tribe when they came here. In addition, for a long time, only the Changzhou tribe often traveled between the two continents, so many people gradually Believe it.

Chao Wen also knew that due to the impact of the war and the situation, and the construction of cities in many places, slave owners and nobles bought slaves on a large scale. Some small and medium-sized tribes who originally lived in the mainland were forced to flee to deep mountains and wild forests, where they were hard to find. The difficulty of catching slaves has increased, so many slave trade organizations have extended their hands to another continent, such as the largest slave organization "畀".

This also made Chao Wen believe that the tribes on the other side of the sea are a group of people who are about to become slaves, so there is nothing to worry about. When the navigation technology matures and the communication becomes more stable in the future, Chao Wen also wants to give a hand. The people over there will be captured as slaves, and the gemstone and salt mines over there will be taken as their own.

It's just that there are people other than the Changzhou tribe coming here now?

How about just grabbing him as a slave?

"How many people are there?" Chao Wen asked thoughtfully.

"Four... four or five thousand." Chao Chuan stammered.

"How much?!" Chao Wen asked word by word as if he couldn't believe it, "Four to five thousand?!"

Chao Chuan nodded vigorously, "The sentinel also said... said... it was quite strong, it didn't look like a migration, it was more... more like... a purposeful action."

Chao Wen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly seemed to be stuck, his expression changed rapidly.

This number is indeed not a small number in the current environment.

Four to five thousand people, none of them escaped or migrated, and their strength is generally strong. After looking at it together, Chao Wen came to a conclusion—this guy is going to attack the city!

Thinking of this, Chao Wen couldn't calm down anymore, he stretched out his hand to push away Chao Chuan who was standing in front of him, and his figure rushed out of the garden like the wind.

In Chaoqiu City, the trading team from afar is busy. They have long been familiar with the trading methods here. Whether it is a street full of shops or a free trading zone marked by the city lord, they can walk there with their eyes closed. I am very familiar with what activities are held at which time, and where I can hear gossip.

But, something happened today.

The gold-encrusted gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened with a crackling sound. A hundred-man cavalry rushed out, and the people in front waved their long-handled weapons mercilessly, shouting loudly, and expelled those who stood in the way.

The quick-response people in the city saw that the situation was not good, and they had already retreated to the sides.

"What's wrong?"

"That's the city lord's personal guard! People from the Chao family!"

"Look at those two in the middle of the line!"

"Is that the mayor?"

Among the team that came out of the city lord's mansion, there were obviously two people whose clothes were different from the others', and were more glamorous and refined. That is Chao Wen and Chao Chuan. Normally, Chao Wen would go out by car, but now that he was in a hurry, he just rode a horse.

"They went to the city gate!"

"What is the city owner going to the city gate in such a hurry for?"

Looking at the group of people rushing past, anyone with a little discernment knew that something was going to happen.

problem occurs!

After rushing to the city gate, Chao Wen climbed up the tower, looked into the distance, and his heart tightened. Although only some small black dots can be seen in the distance, but judging by the number, it is clear that Chao Chuan's words are true. There are also some suspicious figures in the sky.

"Close the city gate!" After shouting to Chao Wen, he asked the archers to get ready. Those figures in the sky are not ordinary birds.

Rumble——

The heavy city gate was closed.

Outside the city there was a team that had just arrived from a long distance. Before they had time to enter the city, they were blocked outside. No matter how they shouted, begged, or bribed, the city gate would not move. The city lord personally guards it, who dares to open it?

Not only the people outside the city, but also the people inside the city were even more puzzled. The team that originally wanted to leave the city was stopped.

The crowd of onlookers also leaned towards the city gate. If it wasn't for the people from the dynasty's family who blocked them, they might have gathered directly in front of the city gate to find out.

"Why are the city gates still closed in broad daylight?" Some people were dissatisfied.

"That's right, even if something happens, we must let us know." Only when you know, can you run for your life! Everyone thought.

"It doesn't seem too good, should we find a way to leave first?"

"Turn it out? Everyone is strictly guarded at this time."

"You can also hide it first."

"Don't guess, just look at it first."

However, these dissatisfaction and discussions stopped the next moment.

"Aww—"

A wolf howl came from a distance.

The crowd fell silent, and then louder discussions erupted.

"Wolf! It's a wolf!"

"It's not like an ordinary wolf, I can hear it!"

"We also heard howling wolves when we were traveling, but, what does this sound sound like..." The speaker shuddered.

"Fierce beast!" an older traveler affirmed. Their team came from the deep mountains, and they knew the difference between the wild beasts in the mountains and the roars of fierce beasts. As for the sound just now, only ferocious beasts can make it, and a wolf of the ordinary beast level can't achieve the effect of making people covered in hairs, as if every muscle is tensed.

"Hey——"

High in the sky, several eagles flew by, circling above Chaoqiu City.

"It's too high, it's not easy to shoot." Said the experienced shooter. Even if they can be shot, the force is enough, but because the distance is too far, when the shot passes, the opponent is likely to have flown away. Judging from their reaction ability, we can tell that it is not a bird that can be easily shot.

"That... is also a beast!"

"What's going on? What happened? Could it be that someone attacked the city?"

Everyone in the crowd had their own guesses, and their thinking was like a wild horse running wild.

At this time, Chao Wen, who was standing on the tower, frowned so much that he could pinch off a branch, and stared straight ahead.

Chao Chuan has been ordered to mobilize manpower, while Chao Wen looks at the approaching team, guessing the identity of the other party and what to do next.

In the approaching team ahead, there were three big flags, two of which were familiar to Chao Wen, one was the totem flag of the Longboat Tribe, and the other made Chao Wen feel bitter.

"Flame Horn!"

The reason why he knew Yanjiao's totem was that when Wang Cheng wanted to hunt down Yanjiao's relocation team, he had painted Yanjiao's totem on it. Later, Chao Wen also learned about Yanjiao.

When the Royal City team asked them to send reinforcements, Chao Wen deliberately delayed the time, not because he wanted to help Yanjiao, but because he didn't like to waste his own troops. If Wang Cheng wants to fight, let them fight, and they only need to put on a show in Chaoqiu City.

However, Chao Wen didn't expect to see Yanjiao's totem flag again at this time. Sure enough, it came from the sea!

However, apart from the totem flags of Yanjiao and Changzhou, the third big flag is very unfamiliar. There is a strange figure on the flag, which looks like a worm and snake. I have never seen it before, and I don't know which tribe it belongs to.

No matter what, Chao Wen only had two big words in his mind at this time - not good!

As for the flag that Chao Wen felt unfamiliar with, it was actually not the totem flag of a certain tribe, it was a new flag. Saying it is "new" does not mean that the material is new, but that it has not been born for a long time.

Before Yanjiao's team came out, when the tribes in the Yanhe River Basin who received the news rushed to the trading area, when the tribes were preparing the totem flag, Shao Xuan proposed to make a flag belonging to the Yanhe River Basin Tribal Alliance.

As for the patterns on the flag, because the Great Alliance is not an alliance of a certain tribe, there are a large number of them, and there will be more in the future. It is impossible to use a certain tribe's totem. Strong opposition from various tribes, tribesmen are very stubborn when it comes to totem matters. Therefore, Shao Xuan used a pattern that was familiar to others but never seen before - dragon.

The shape of the dragon is drawn based on the general shape of Yanhe in the section Shao Xuan is familiar with.

Regarding Shao Xuan's decision, the Yanjiao people did not object, and felt that Shao Xuan's suggestion was very good, and the other tribes who came later naturally had no objection, since it was based on the shape of Yanhe, they of course agreed. Even when Shao Xuan proposed to put all the tribal totems belonging to the Yanhe River Basin Alliance on this dragon flag in the future, he wanted to print a totem immediately, but, time was short, and their attitude towards totems was very cautious Seriously, without any ceremony and preparation, a totem will not be drawn on a symbolic flag, so, up to now, there is only the dragon in the shape of Yanhe on the Yanhe dragon flag.
