Chapter 1272: Drumbeat (1/2)
Chapter 1272
Yang Teng didn't have any special reaction when he heard the drums. He just felt that the drums were very loud. It is estimated that the whole Mochizuki Liufeng could be heard. Something must have happened.
Zheng Kun and Zheng Yuanlong couldn't sit still, they stood up at the same time, and they rushed out of the living room without even saying hello.
Yang Teng was surprised by the actions of the two of them. This is what happened that made the two of them so panicked. He followed them and left the living room.
”Boom! Boom! Boom!” The drum sound became louder, with a clear sense of rhythm.
Zheng Kun's face was solemn, listening to the rhythm of the drums.
Zheng Yuanlong's expression was serious, and he was still muttering something with the rhythm of the drums.
Yang Teng paused for a while, Zheng Yuanlong was counting the rhythm of the drums.
As soon as the drum was over, Yang Teng was about to ask Zheng Kun what happened.
Then the second drum sound rang.
”Boom! Boom! Boom!” The loud drum sound echoed over Mochizuki Liufeng, and there seemed to be a kind of magic in the drum sound.
Yang Teng felt that the blood in his body was boiling with the sound of the drums. In an instant, his whole body was filled with a fighting spirit!
To Yang Teng’s surprise, several servants in his house, as well as the children sent by the Zheng family to learn alchemy, heard the drums, put down everything in their hands, and walked out, looking solemnly at Mochizuki Liufeng. The most central direction.
The second drum sound stopped, and there was a short interval in between, and the third drum sound soon sounded again.
This time, Yang Teng counted them carefully, and there were 21 drums in total.
At the end of the three-way drum, Zheng Kun said solemnly: ”Drums for the expedition, and the assembly will be held an hour after the three-way. Follow me back immediately and prepare for the expedition.”
”Patriarch Zheng, wait a minute.” Yang Teng hurriedly stopped Zheng Kun, ”What the **** is going on.”
Zheng Kun appeared very anxious, ”This is the marching drum played by the lord of the city. After the three-way drum is over, set off immediately. No one can delay. If there is any violation, after the war, all monks who did not participate in the expedition will be beheaded for publicity!”
”Young Master Yang, I don't have time to talk more. I have to go back and gather the family children as soon as possible. I'll talk about other things later.” Zheng Kun left a word and rushed out of the house.
Zheng Yuanlong did the same, and smiled apologetically to Yang Teng: ”Yang Shao, let's talk about it after the war is over.”
Yang Teng didn't understand what happened, and looked at Zheng Kun and Zheng Yuanlong stupidly as they left.
Just about to call the Zheng family's children who were studying alchemy to come over and ask what happened, the gopher hurried back from outside.
”Young Master Yang, you heard the drum for the expedition just now.”
”I heard, what the **** is going on, why am I at a loss.” Yang Teng asked.
”That's it. The marching drum is a rule set by the Lord Mochizuki Liufeng, and it is divided into several specifications. The marching drum just now is twenty-one ring, which is the highest specification of the marching drum. I heard the drum sound. After that, the assembly must be completed within an hour. The monks living in Mochizuki Liufeng are required to participate in the expedition as long as their cultivation base is at the level of the Juyuan Period.” The driller simply explained.
”Speaking of which, I want to participate too?” Yang Teng asked.
”Yes, whether it is Mochizuki Liufeng or not, as long as Mochizuki Liufeng is at the moment when the drum is sounding, he must participate in the expedition.” The driller said affirmatively.
Yang Teng was not in a hurry. Zheng Kun returned to the Zheng family to gather his children in time, and he had enough time to ask questions.
”Driller, Lord City Lord beats the drum for the march, what is it for and who is going to conquer?” Yang Teng didn't want to be confused and sacrifice his life for Lord City Lord.
”This depends on the specifications of the drum. For example, today's twenty-first ring, it means that a strong enemy has invaded Mochizuki Liufeng, and the entire force of Mochizuki Liufeng needs to be assembled to fight, so the city master will ring Twenty-one drums of conquest. If it is to conquer other forces, the Lord Mayor will make a decision based on the strength of the opponent. Generally speaking, only matters related to the survival of Mochizuki Liufeng, the Lord Lord will gather the entire power of Mochizuki Liufeng.”
The drill mouse was afraid that Yang Teng would not understand it, and explained in detail: ”If it is due to the personal affairs of Lord City Lord, the Drum of Conquest will be the lowest level, and we will not be conscripted. Those who are conquered are all the power of City Lord Mansion. If it is to destroy the beast Clan, depending on the situation, Lord City Lord makes the decision.”
”As for today's highest-level marching drums, I analyze that there are two possibilities. One is a powerful enemy attack, and the entire force of Mochizuki Liufeng must be assembled to fight. The other reason may be the invasion of the orcs. The invasion of the orcs is the most likely. .”
Yang Teng was even more surprised when he heard the gopher's words, ”Are you saying there was an orc invasion? There are still such powerful orcs around Mochizuki Liufeng?”
This is hard to imagine in Tianwu Continent. Only in the wild mountains and remote fields can you see the orc group. Human monks occupy most of the territory, and it is impossible for such a thing to happen.
The orcs attacking the human gathering place is simply looking for death.
Even if it succeeds for a while, it will eventually attract the anger of human monks and slaughter the entire orc race.
Therefore, the Tianwu Continent is the territory of human monks, and the orcs can only survive in the cracks between human monks.
The boring mouse said bitterly: ”Young Master Yang, don't you know that it's not just around Mochizuki Liufeng, but the entire Silver Moon Continent. Let's put it this way, the land of the Silver Moon Continent, human monks account for at most half. Half is in the hands of the orcs. The sky is mostly occupied by the orcs. The ocean is basically the world of the aquatic animals.”
