Chapter 336: Fortress War! The Sudden Arrival of a Powerful Person!
Outside a majestic fortress at the junction of the edge of the Tagor Desert and the edge of the Monster Mountain Range, a fierce war is breaking out.
In that area with complex terrain, countless soldiers of the Jiama Empire and the snakemen are fighting for life and death, and high in the sky, the battle between nine dazzling figures is the key factor in determining the outcome of this war.
In this war, the highest general of the Jiama Empire is Nalan Jie, who has just recovered from a serious illness, and among the other four human strongmen, three are the top ten strongmen of the Jiama Empire, and the last one is a strange strongman who has just joined the battlefield.
"Brother Yanxiao, thanks to your help this time!"
In the sky, after separating from the leader of the snakemen, the elderly Nalan Jie looked at the somewhat thin young figure with a smile on his face.
"Marshal Nalan is too polite. If the army hadn't provided me with some antidote herbs, I'm afraid Yan Xiao wouldn't have a chance to speak here!"
This thin young man was Xiao Yan, who was chased by the three snake leaders, Mobas and Nanshe. After getting rid of the three, Xiao Yan was severely injured by Mobas and came to the vicinity of this fortress after several twists and turns.
This fortress has many antidote herbs and potions because it has been guarding against the snake people for many years and has dealt with the snake people countless times.
Xiao Yan successfully refined the antidote pill to solve the Mobas snake venom with these herbs.
As a result, Xiao Yan owed a big favor. When the other four snake leaders led the army to attack the fortress, Xiao Yan also joined the battlefield.
Originally, the four snake leaders relied on the joint attack formation to crush the four Dou Wang strongmen of the Jiama Empire, but with Xiao Yan joining the battle, the situation was stabilized in an instant.
The two sides fought seven or eight times, but the winner was still undecided.
This time, as before, the five Dou Wangs of the Jiama Empire tied with the four snakemen leaders.
After the snakemen made a harsh remark, they had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
Seeing the snakemen temporarily retreat, one of the rough men asked Nalan Jie loudly: "Nalan Jie, you said that this war has been going on for so long, why hasn't the royal family sent reinforcements?"
"Yes, although we can still hold on now, the snakemen still have a Queen Medusa who has not yet taken action. If Queen Medusa also comes here, I'm afraid we are not good enough!" One of the thin old men also echoed.
"Lion King, Feng Li, what you two mean is to ask why Jia Lao didn't come to support us, right!" Hearing the meaning of the two people's words, Nalan Jie said bluntly.
"Yes, old man Nalan, you are now the highest person in charge of the empire on this battlefield. You should be very clear about the situation here. Once Queen Medusa raids our battlefield, it will be a one-sided outcome!" The hot-tempered Yan Shi said very unhappily.
"Alas, I have contacted Princess Yaoye many times, but Princess Yaoye said that the other empires around are also ready to move. Old Jia is temporarily unable to take care of this side!" Nalan Jie sighed and said helplessly.
"If the royal family wants to use us as cannon fodder, we won't accompany them!" After hearing Nalan Jie's reply, the three people except Xiao Yan all backed down.
"The three of you should be patient. The empire will never ignore this side. It is said that Princess Yaoye has asked Yun Yun, the leader of Yunlan Sect, for help. If Yun Yun can come here, even if Queen Medusa comes in person, she can't do anything to us!" Seeing the attitudes of several people, Nalan Jie hurriedly explained.
"Master Yunyun?"
After hearing Nalan Jie's explanation, Yan Shi, Feng Li and others felt relieved.
After hearing the conversation of these people, Xiao Yan, who was wearing a mask, remained silent, with complicated thoughts in his mind.
He did not expect that he would inexplicably become a "comrade-in-arms" with Nalan Yanran's grandfather Nalan Jie at the edge of the Tagor Desert, and soon, he would probably see Nalan Yanran's teacher, Yun Yun, the master of the Yunlan Sect.
"Brother Yanxiao! When this war is over, I will report your deeds to Princess Yaoye. The empire has never been stingy with people who have made contributions."
Noticing that Xiao Yan had remained silent, Nalan Jie came over and spoke to comfort him. Nalan Jie really admired Xiao Yan. Not only could he refine a third-grade elixir at a young age, but he also had the combat power of a Dou Wang. His future achievements would probably not be weaker than those of a Dou Huang, so Nalan Jie spoke to Xiao Yan very politely at this moment.
This also made Xiao Yan change some of his ideas about the people of the Nalan family.
However, Nalan Yanran's withdrawal of the engagement has always been a thorn in Xiao Yan's heart. As Nalan Jie is Nalan Yanran's elder, it is impossible for him not to know about this, so Xiao Yan really wants to know Nalan Jie's opinion on this matter.
"Marshal Nalan, I heard that your granddaughter Nalan Yanran had an engagement with the Xiao family of Wutan City before, right!" Xiao Yan asked calmly.
Hearing Xiao Yan suddenly ask this question, Nalan Jie's old face suddenly froze for a moment, and then suddenly showed a very ashamed expression, sighing: "Alas, all this is my Nalan Jie who is sorry for Brother Xiao Lin. Yanran's withdrawal of the engagement was not discussed with us..."
Although Nalan Jie did not say anything about Nalan Yanran's withdrawal of the engagement, there was a bit of guilt and regret in his words, which made Xiao Yan's heart not hate Nalan Jie.
Just as Xiao Yan was thinking about complicated things, a strong and terrifying aura suddenly came from the retreating snake tribe army.
Sensing this aura, Nalan Jie, Yan Shi, Feng Li and other Dou Wang masters who had been relaxed suddenly became nervous and alert.
Under their gaze, a woman slowly stepped into the air in the distant sky and stopped above the snake tribe army.
"This is it!"
When they saw that the woman had a pair of legs that were no different from those of humans under her waist, these four Dou Wang masters who were famous in the Jiama Empire couldn't help but take a breath.
These people were very clear about what it meant for the snake people to shed their snake tails and transform into humans.
"Could this person be the Medusa Queen of the Snake People?"
"I never thought that the Medusa Queen of the Snake People has actually reached the Dou Zong realm!"
As they spoke, the four Dou Wang masters, including Xiao Yan who was frowning on the side, could not help but start to retreat towards the fortress.
