Original War

Chaoqiu City, the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord Chaosao felt his eyelids jerking sharply early this morning, and he always felt that something big was going to happen, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of what it would be. However, as the master of a city, even if he felt irritable, Chao Yang still showed a calm look as usual, and he went around the garden to see the precious flowers and trees carefully taken care of by the slaves.

The leisurely fragrance of the precious flowers and trees in the garden plays a role of concentration and calmness, so Chao Zhu likes to think about things in the garden.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, Chao Qiu's feeling of restlessness faded a lot, but he didn't dare to be careless. Being able to be the lord of Chaoqiu City and keeping Chaoqiu City stable to this day was naturally capable. He believed in his own intuition.

What the hell is it?

Slightly lowered his head towards the stew, looking at the verdant vegetation in front of him.

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a scream.

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

A beautifully dressed young man rushed over, out of breath.

Chao Yang frowned. He always taught his children not to be surprised, to be calm in everything, and how many children behaved well on weekdays. Why are they so impulsive today?

"Why is it so panic?!" Chao Yan's voice was quiet, but his tone was stern, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the people.

Chaochuan’s eldest son, Chaochuan, will be the most likely to inherit the seat of the city lord in the future. On weekdays, Chaochuan also tried his best to brush up his favor in front of his father, and learned his father’s posture from four to five points, but today I was really shocked, I didn't take my former composure and calmness a little bit, but I was beaten back by the tone of Chaosao anyway.

After a pause, taking a deep breath, Chaochuan quickly said, "There is news from the sentry, someone is coming!"

Since the turbulent situation, Chaoqi has sent a group of guards to stare at the movement around Chaoqiu City, and promptly inform if there is any change. Some things happened during this period, but they were all minor troubles.

Hearing what Chaochuan said, Chaoyang's eyebrows trembled. Could this be the reason why he was upset all morning?

"Who came?" Chao Qian asked.

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

Seeing that Chao Chuan's eyebrows tightened again, Chao Chuan hurriedly continued, "Although I don't know who they are, the sentry said, maybe...maybe...from there!" He said and pointed in a direction. , That is the direction of the sea.

"From there?" Chao Chi said, "A tribe like the Changzhou tribe?"

From time to time, the Changzhou tribe will come to the Qiucheng to trade. This Chaoyang knows it, but up to now, all he knows is the special case of the Changzhou tribe. I heard that the tribe on the sea side is very weak, and the Changzhou tribe is the strongest there. Of the tribe.

Changzhou is the strongest argument. This is actually a boast when the Changzhou tribe came here. In addition, for a long time, only the Changzhou tribe often travels between the two continents. Therefore, many people gradually believe it. NS.

Chao Yu also knew that because of the impact of war and the situation, and the construction of cities in many places, slave owners and nobles bought slaves on a large scale. Originally, some small and medium tribes in the interior of Life were forced to flee to deep mountains and wild forests, making it difficult to find. The difficulty of catching slaves has increased, so many slave trade organizations have extended their hands to another continent. For example, the largest slave organization, "Yu", is like this.

This also made Chao Zhen always believe that the tribes on the other side of the sea were all a group of people who were about to become slaves, and it was nothing to worry about. When the navigation technology matures and the communication becomes more stable in the future, Chaosao also wants to reach out and do it. People over there will grab them and use them as slaves, and the gems and salt mines over there will be his own.

It’s just that now there will be people other than Changzhou tribe coming here?

Why don't you just catch it as a slave?

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

"Four...four to five thousand." Chaochuan stammered.

"How much?!" Zhao Yang said in his voice, asking word by word as if he couldn't believe it, "four or five thousand?!"

Asagawa nodded vigorously, "The sentry also said... said... they are all very strong, not like migration, more... more like... purposeful action."

Chaosao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly seemed to be stuck, his complexion changed rapidly.

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

Four to five thousand people were not fleeing or migrating, and their strength was generally relatively strong. After looking at it together, Chao Yang came to a conclusion-this Tamar is going to attack the city!

Thinking of this, Chaosao couldn't calm down, stretched out his hand to push away Chaochuan in front of him, and the figure rushed out of the garden like wind.

In the city of Qiu, the trading team from afar is busy. They are already familiar with the trading methods here. Whether it is a street full of shops or a free trading zone drawn by the city owner, they can walk past with their eyes closed. What activities are there at any time, and where you can hear Eight Trigrams are all familiar.

However, something happened today.

The gold-inlaid gate of the city lord's mansion opened with a creaking sound. A hundred-man cavalry rushed out, and the people in front of them swung relentlessly with long-handled weapons, sipping loudly, and expelling those who stood in the way.

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

"What's wrong?"

"That's the guard of the city lord! People from the house!"

"Look at the two in the middle of the team!"

"Is that the city lord?"

In the team that came out of the City Lord's Mansion, it was obvious that two of them were dressed differently from the others, and they were more glamorous and exquisite. That is Chao Chuan and Chao Chuan. On weekdays, I usually go out by car, but now I’m in a hurry and I’m riding a horse.

"They went to the city gate!"

"The city lord rushed to the city gate in such a hurry, what is he going to do?"

Looking at the team that hurried past, anyone with a little eye knows something is going to happen.

problem occurs!

After rushing to the city gate, Chao Yang climbed up the tower and looked far away, his heart suddenly tightened. Although only a few small black spots can be seen in the distance, by looking at the number, you know that what Chaochuan said is true. There are some suspicious figures in the air.

"Close the city gate!" After shouting towards the stew, he asked the archer to prepare. Those figures in the air are not ordinary birds.

Rumbling--

The heavy city gate was closed.

Outside the city, there was also a long-distance team that had just arrived. Before they could enter the city, they were blocked outside, letting them shout, beg, or bribe, and the city gate would not move. The city lord personally guards, who dares to open?

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

The crowds onlookers also leaned towards the city gate. If it weren't for someone from the house, they might have gathered directly in front of the city gate to find out.

"Why are the gates closed in broad daylight?" Someone was dissatisfied.

"Yes, even if something happens, we have to let us know." Only if we know it, we can run away! Everyone thought.

"It doesn't seem very good, should we figure out a way to leave first?"

"Turn it out? At this time, everything is strictly guarded."

"You can also hide it first."

"Don't guess, take a look before you talk."

However, these dissatisfaction and discussion, The next moment stopped.

"Wow--"

A howl of a wolf came from a distance.

The crowd was quiet, and then there was a louder voice.

"Wolf! It's a wolf!"

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

"We also heard howling a wolf when we were traveling, but how does this sound feel..." The speaker shivered.

"Ferocious beast!" affirmed an older practitioner. Their team came from the deep mountains, and they knew the difference between the roaring beasts and the fierce beasts in the forest. As for the sound just now, only the fierce beast can make the sound. The wolf of the ordinary beast level can't produce the effect that makes the whole body hairy, as if every tendon is tightened.

"Buff—"

At high altitude, a few eagles flew over and hovered above Chaoqiu City.

"It's too high to shoot." The experienced shooter said. Even if it can be shot, the strength is enough, but because the distance is too far, when the shot passes, the opponent is likely to fly away. You can see from their reaction ability that it is not a bird that can be shot easily.

"That... is also a fierce beast!"

"What's the matter? What happened? Could someone attack the city?"

There is speculation in the crowd, and thinking is like a wild horse running everywhere.

At this time, Chaosao, who was standing on the tower, frowned so much that he could pinch branches, his eyes fixed on the front.

Chao Chuan had been ordered to mobilize his staff, and Chao Yan looked at the team getting closer, guessing the identity of the opponent and what to do next.

In the team close to the front, there are three big flags, two of which face the steed, one is the totem flag of the Changzhou tribe, and the other makes Chao steed's heart miserable.

"The Flame Horned Man!"

The reason for knowing the totem of Yanjiao is that when the king city wanted to chase down the migrating team of Yanjiao, the totem of Yanjiao was painted on the order issued by the king. Later, Chaoyang also learned about Yanjiao.

Back then, the Wangcheng team asked them to send reinforcements, and Chao Yan also deliberately delayed the time. Actually, he didn't want to help Yanjiao, but he didn't like to expend his own troops. If the city wants to fight, let them fight, and they just need to behave towards Qiucheng.

However, Chao Yang did not expect that he would see the totem flag of Yanjiao again at this time. It really came from the sea!

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

No matter what, Chaosao has two big characters in his heart at this time-bad!

As for the flag that Chaoshou felt unfamiliar, in fact it was not the totem flag of a certain tribe, it was a new flag. To call it "new" does not mean that the material is new, but that it hasn't been born long.

Before Yanjiao's team departed, when the tribes in the Yanhe Basin received the news rushed to the trading area, when the tribe was preparing the totem flag, Shao Xuan proposed to make a banner belonging to the Yanhe Basin Tribal Alliance.

As for the pattern on the flag, because the big alliance is not an alliance of a certain tribe, there are many, and there will be more in the future, it is impossible to use a totem of a certain tribe, even if it is a flame horn, the double horn totem will attract it. The tribes strongly opposed the tribes. When it comes to totem matters, the tribesmen are very stubborn and tough, and they will not agree to kill them. Therefore, Shao Xuan used a familiar pattern that others have never seen before-dragon.

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

Everyone in Yanjiao did not object to Shao Xuan's decision, and felt that Shao Xuan's proposal was very good. Naturally, the other tribes who came later did not object. Since they were based on the shape of the Yan River, they of course agreed. Even when Shao Xuan proposed to put all the tribal totems belonging to the Yanhe River Basin on this dragon banner in the future, he couldn’t wait to print a totem right away, but time was rushed, and their attitude towards totems was very cautious. Seriously, I will not draw a totem on a symbolic flag without any rituals and preparations. So, up to now, the Yanhe Dragon Banner has only the dragon in the shape of the Yanhe River.
