Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 1106 - 729: Demons Stir Up Chaos, Attack the Convoy
"Nu’er sister, several brothers from the Yun family are often in the army, and I rarely see them."
"The one leading the horse with personal guard is Sixth Brother, holding a significant position in the Fourth Mountain."
"The one with a scar on his forehead and a beard is Seventh Brother, he has changed a lot."
"Riding the red horse, with a ring sword is..."
Zhao Yunluo and the young girl Nu’er briefly recognized them, smiling gently with a hint of pride in their words. After all, they are the Yun Family. Naturally, they admire these brothers who have made meritorious achievements in the army.
The young girl Nu’er, dressed in splendid clothes and fur, seemed to be in the throes of first love, her eyes sparkling with joy, "The brothers are so amazing."
Her voice seemed unrestrained, carrying the excitement of a young girl, resounded among the crowd watching the commotion in the mansion.
At once, several lines of sight were cast toward the corner of the courtyard, glimpsing the beautiful girl, leaving quite an impression on many.
The girl’s face suddenly turned bright red, a cry of "Oh no!" escaped her lips. She then ran quickly back to the mansion, looking shy.
Gentle laughter echoed around, but that brief glimpse left quite an impression on many present.
Even the Yun Family’s young men, mounted on horses, noticed the scene, seeing the girl running to the Yun Mansion. Her attire didn’t denote a maid, hence their curiosity, they asked the young groom,
"Who is this lady?"
"Ninth Young Master, she is a cousin who came to stay at the mansion, she’s only been here a few days!" the groom hurriedly replied.
Yun Family’s Ninth Son nodded, glanced once more towards the gate, feeling somewhat peculiar inside, yet he straightened his expression and refocused on urgent matters.
Once everyone was ready, Yun Family Patriarch Yun Chuxiong shouted out, "Let’s go!"
Soon, the lengthy convoy started moving, surrounding onlookers cheered, following along, with children chasing playfully amongst them.
.......
Switching sides, after running shyly into Yun Mansion, the young "Nu’er" passed through corridors and alleyways, arriving at a two-story building in the backyard, closing the door behind her.
After closing the door, her delicate demeanor dropped, her expression turning cold and disdainful, eyes like poisoned daggers, she snorted coldly.
She, a dignified Great Demon, had to play this lovesick young girl act, truly sickening.
However, before she could complain, a figure suddenly appeared in the room, a middle-aged man.
The man wore a Ten Thousand Character Patterned Brocade Robe, with a shiny mink trim at the collar and cuffs, his face had slightly drooping skin, sharp triangular eyes squinted, hiding a shrewd cunning.
Seeing this man, Nu’er’s icy expression immediately transformed, bringing up a smile, respectfully bowing,
"Nu’er greets the Holy King."
The middle-aged man’s triangular eyes cast a glance at her, his shrewd gaze switching to one of lofty indifference,
"Today’s Yun Mansion is quite lively, you saw it too."
"Yes, Holy King, the Yun Family and several families have taken out many supplies to send to Yunding Mountain; it’s said that other families in other divisions will respond, all going to Yunding Mountain to donate to the Mountain-cutting Army. They are creating momentum against our Holy Clan."
"It’s an opportunity!" Young Nu’er’s voice changed hue, carrying profound killing intent.
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly, "You’re right, it is indeed an opportunity, create some chaos for them, turn their celebration into mourning."
"Interesting!"
"I have already sent people to teach these Humans a lesson."
"The Yun Family members are still useful, don’t anger the one at the top of Yunding." The Demon King seemed to say an irrelevant remark.
The "young girl" listened, revealing a cruel smile that didn’t match her face, "The Holy King’s wisdom, it seems we soon have a spectacle to watch."
The middle-aged man laughed, then cast his gaze outward, subsequently disappearing from the room without a trace.
The "young girl" felt puzzled but quickly sensed someone approaching from outside, her beautiful pure face distorted slightly,
"Such a bother, having to act in front of these weaklings."
"But this Human Clan’s girl is so tender, catching her later for a personal slave isn’t bad."
She chuckled oddly, turning around.
A moment later, footsteps sounded outside the room, followed by a soft and gentle voice,
"Nu’er sister, are you alright?"
Inside the room, the young Nu’er opened the door, her innocent pure face flushed with shy fear, calling out,
"Sister Yun Luo, I’m so embarrassed from earlier."
No trace of her previous twisted expression appeared, though deep in her eyes lay a hard-to-detect coldness.
.......
Outside, Yun Family members and other nobles led a massive convoy, setting off towards Yunding Mountain.
Meanwhile, in different directions – East City, South City, North City – at approximately the same hour, similar scenes occurred: convoys loaded with supplies started their journey to Yunding Mountain.
This grand spectacle naturally drew much attention along the way, enthusiastic cheers and tumult spread across the four city divisions.
Along the route, teahouses and taverns fervently discussed, hearing that influential families in Jingguan City sent convoys to donate supplies to the Mountain-cutting Army’s soldiers for the upcoming battle. They praised this righteousness, feeling a surge of heroic spirit within.
The journey was bustling, seemingly invigorating all the people’s hearts.
Yet within this bustling, an undercurrent stirred.
In the Southern City, convoys from the Xia Family, Wu Family, and others moved through the busy market streets, surrounded by excited civilians following along, when halfway through, two nearby houses suddenly exploded, dust swirling, and a cloud of green smoke instantly flooded the market streets, rushing towards the convoy.
The green smoke, clearly toxic, enveloped the crowd swiftly, causing them to scream painfully, skin ulcerating, bleeding and oozing, collapsing, shocking to witness.
Panic broke out in the crowd with cries of terror and running, the convoy in chaos with frightened shouts mixed with angry commands.
"The smoke is poisonous."
"Quickly disperse, disperse!"
"Quickly use Divine Skills, remove the poison smoke."
"Protect the supplies."
"..."
Amidst this, angry shouts mixed with glowing lights exploded, forming layers of barriers.
Just then, within the toxic smoke, resonant demonic roars echoed, gigantic Demon bodies sprang up like fierce beasts charging the convoy.
Immediately, cries mixed with astonished gasps sounded.
"It’s Demons!"
"Demons have infiltrated!"
"..."
The scene erupted into chaos.
Meanwhile, in other city divisions, similar incidents unfolded, Demons appearing brazenly attacking convoys headed toward Yunding Mountain.
