When the guards on the city wall saw this, they quickly ran all the way." Quick, open the city gate. Marshal Mulan has arrived!"”
" The marshal is here?!"
"That's right, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the door!”
"Right away, right away. I'll go now."
The guards who were on duty quickly ran to the position where the city gate was opened and turned the mechanism.
Looking at the slowly closing city gate, Hua Mulan was the first to enter on her horse.
……
The Protectorate Guard Army headquarters.
A general in purple armor was frowning and thinking about something.
"General Jia Luo, Marshal Mulan has arrived!”
Opening the curtains, the guards of the protectorate came in and reported to Jialuo.
"Has the marshal arrived?"
Jialuo stood up. Her tall figure could be seen clearly. Even the purple heavy armor could not hide her exquisite body.
Her long hair was tied up behind her head, and her facial features were exquisite. Her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. It was no exaggeration to describe her as a fish that could catch a wild goose.
"Let's go, bring me to the marshal."
Hearing this, the guards immediately led Galos out.
The remaining garrison troops of the protectorate were from the Great Wall and Chang 'an. Relying on the well-built fortifications, they had repelled the demon seed invasions time and time again over the years.
There were about 10,000 soldiers guarding the protectorate, and there was no leader here.
The ten chiliarchs each led their own troops to guard the city.
Even so, the 10 Captains helped each other and guarded the pass.
If the Great Wall guarded the main entrance of the Cloud-Clouds Desert, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Protectorate was the final pass guarding the sea route.
Last night, Jialuo had arrived at the Protectorate ahead of time to wait for Hua Mulan according to the time he had left in his letter.
The ten chiliarchs recognized Jialuo at a glance and welcomed him into the tent.
Hua Mulan, Su Yu, and the others entered the depths of the protectorate headquarters without any obstructions.
Soon, Hua Mulan saw the person she had always wanted to see.
"Jialuo!"
"Marshal!"
When Jialuo saw Hua Mulan, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed.
"Get up, Jialuo. Are you hurt?”Hua Mulan helped Jialuo up and looked at her carefully.
" Don't worry, Marshal. Those demon seeds didn't notice my presence."”
"But this time, I did discover their secret.”
Hua Mulan's expression turned grave." What exactly happened?”
Jialuo looked behind Hua Mulan and hesitated for a moment." General, this is a serious matter. Let's talk in the tent."”
"Alright."
They went back to the tent. Mulan Wei stayed outside the tent while Kai and Su Yu followed Hua Mulan into the tent.
"Marshal, this is?"
Jialuo looked at Su Yu in confusion. She had never seen a young man in white before.
"His name is Su Yu, a blacksmith at the foot of the Great Wall," Hua Mulan explained."He was the one who forged our weapons."”
"Don't worry, just say whatever you want. He's not an outsider.”
Jialuo glanced at Su Yu, nodded, and opened his lips.
"Marshal, I spent ten days following the demon seed and finally discovered their secret.”
"They really want to go to the Thousand Caves City!”
"These guys are searching for the library that father sealed.”
" There are many books in the Thousand Caves City," Hua Mulan said, puzzled." What are those guys trying to do by searching for the library?"”
Jialuo looked serious." Marshal, I don't know if you've heard of that rumor.”
"There's a strange thing in the Cloud-filled Desert. This thing can bring the dead back to life. As long as the corpse is immortal, it can be resurrected.”
"No one knows exactly what this thing is, but I don't know where the Demon Seed got the news.”
"There are clues about this thing in the Heaven Vault Library of the Thousand Caves City.”
"However, the war that broke out seven years ago destroyed the Thousand Caves City, and the Library of Heaven's Vault was sealed by my father. Those demon seeds must have gone to the Thousand Caves City to find clues about this thing.”
Hua Mulan suddenly felt a strong sense of unease in her heart. Soon, she recalled the scene from seven years ago.
Back then, the Demon Seed had erupted and destroyed two cities in the Cloudy Desert under the leadership of the Platinum Overlord, the Three-legged Scarlet Crow.
The Thousand Caves City, one of the sacred places for scholars with countless historical memories.
Jade City, which had carved beams and painted buildings, was extremely prosperous.
The Chang 'an Empire had dispatched several experts from the imperial palace and countless guards from the Great Wall to kill the Platinum Overlord, Three-legged Red Crow.
Since then, the Demon Seed had stopped fighting and recuperated. It had not appeared in the sight of humans for a whole year.
These guys were looking for clues that could bring the dead back to life. Could it be that they wanted to resurrect the three-legged scarlet crow?
This thought emerged from the bottom of Hua Mulan's heart and could no longer be erased.
She still remembered the tragic scene back then.
If the Demon Seed were to find a clue to resurrect the Three-legged Scarlet Crow in the Thousand Caves City, it would be a disaster!
