Chapter Seventy-One: The New Emperor of the Ming Palace
"Child, don't cry, come. Sit with my uncle for a while. ”
Ji Zha, whose appearance had changed greatly, pulled up a smile weakly, and gently patted the ground beside him, just like when Ji Chigen was a child, Ji Zha's heart to heart with him on the big stone pier at the head of Jijia Village.
Ji Chigen's legs were weak, and he knelt down in front of Ji Zha, and fell to the ground crying silently.
"You will be the emperor in the future, and when you walk out of this courtyard, you can't have tears. ”
Ji Zha's eyes were full of soft colors when he looked at Ji Chigen in front of him quietly, and the sound like a candle in the wind stinged Ji Chigen's chest more and more.
The pain became more and more overflowing, even more than the palm that Hegel had cut off his heart.
"Uncle...... The Red Empire needs you even more!"
Ji Za smiled silently and shook his head slightly, "It's like this phoenix bath." This war, for the Red Empire, was also a rebirth. Rebuilding an empire from the ruins will also reshape a new era. Your time. ”
"I have to take a curtain call after all, sooner or later, this Emperor Ming Palace, this Chijing City, this Red Empire, the Xuanyuan Sword and Bishan Seal in my hand are all yours. ”
"Although I didn't expect it to be so early, I thought I would be able to shelter you for a while longer......"
"I guess it's providential. You've grown faster than I ever imagined. Before you know it, your shoulders are thick enough to carry a thousand pounds. ”
"Help me and protect this land. ”
A withered hand was handed to Ji Chigen.
The one holding a jade seal in his hand was wrapped in the thick white mist around him, and the shimmering blue light on it was even more luster.
"Uncle......" Ji Chigen looked up, his voice fluttering violently.
Ji Zha, without saying a word, stared at Ji Chigen kneeling in front of him with cloudy eyes, and a light smile hung on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't care about his physical condition at all.
Ji Chigen bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, forced himself to suppress the churning emotions in his heart, stretched out his trembling hands, and took the Bishan jade seal in Ji Zha's hand.
Ji Zhaa chuckled twice and patted Ji Chigen's shoulder, "I saw in your eyes, a new emperor who is breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn. ”
As he spoke, Ji Zha stretched out his trembling hand and held the ground, as if he wanted to stand up.
Ji Chigen hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
The arm wrapped around Ji Zha's waist, Ji Chigen's nose was sour again, and tears fell down again.
His Majesty, who was once majestic and heroic, has become an old man on the verge of death in just seven hours, and Ji Chigen even feels that if he exerts a little force, Ji Zha's body will be overwhelmed and broken from it.
"Uncle...... What the hell is going on? those over-imperial sages...... How can I hurt you like this?"
Ji Zha's shoulders held Ji Chigen's shoulders and stood still, while tidying up his scattered collar, he shook his head with a low chuckle, "With their skills, they also want to hurt me?" It's just that the Glowing Disaster Star is coming, it is my fate, I can't escape, I can't break free." ”
"Uncle...... What should I do?"
Ji Chigen's eyebrows were upside down, and a touch of evil anger surged into his face.
Ji Zha stretched out his thin fingers and gently smoothed Ji Chigen's eyebrows, "Be a good emperor and win this war." As for the glow, you don't need to do anything. The Red Empire has its own blessed stars to help it, which can eliminate the disaster of confusion. ”
After that, Ji Zha, slowly took off the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist, and hung it on Ji Chigen's waist very seriously.
A low, mournful cry rang out from the scabbard of the Xuanyuan Sword. The treasure has a spirit, and it seems to be saying goodbye to an old friend who has been with him for many years.
......
Chimu City, Shen Yuan looked at the battle report in his hand, and there were clouds between his eyebrows.
A slender woman gently pushed open the door, walked in quickly, and asked, "Is something serious?" ”
"Squish...... His Majesty Himezha ...... was hit hard and has been urgently transferred to Ji Chigen. Shen Yuan raised his head, his face full of shock and incomprehension.
Cheng Ruan's face changed greatly, he snatched the battle report with his hand, his eyes quickly swept around it, and he said angrily: "How is this possible? Ji Zha holds the heavy treasure of the Red Empire, as long as he is in the empire, he is almost invincible, even the old immortal of Moyang is helpless against him, how can he be seriously injured and will die?"
Shen Yuan shook the Holy Frost Shadow Totem in his hand while slowly shaking his head and said, "I don't know, the results of divination are very vague. It should be an existence whose realm is far better than mine, and attacked His Majesty Ji Zha. ”
"Waste ......" Cheng Ruan crumpled the battle report in his hand in anger and threw it on the ground with a snap.
Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. Cheng Ruan didn't hide much in front of him, and he often had emotional instability, teasing, ridiculing and even insulting others, and Shen Yuan had long been accustomed to this.
But scolding the emperor for waste without technical content was still at this moment when the whole country should be grieving, which really surprised Shen Yuan's expectations.
Shen Yuan asked tentatively, "Soft...... Since the beginning of the war, Ji Zha has only done one action for Ji Chigen, and he didn't even care about the death of Huichen's predecessors. His presence is more of a symbolic meaning for us. Now that Ji Chigen has taken over, the impact on us ...... It shouldn't be that big, right?"
Cheng Ruan rolled his eyes, sat next to Shen Yuan and drank two large mouthfuls of water, before he said with a gloomy face: "You don't understand, Ji Zha holds the Xuanyuan Sword and the Bishan Jade Seal, and he is also the Emperor of the Red Empire of the Supreme Holy Realm, and at the critical moment, the role he can play is decisive." His death, there is a lot of estrangement between Ji Chigen and the two heavy treasures, without ten years of water milling work, he can't exert his due power at all, plus Ji Chigen's realm is limited, embarrassing and useful......"
Shen Yuan was even more confused when he heard this, and asked again, "Is there any task that must be Ji Gate?"
Cheng Ruan sighed, his gaze raised slightly, as if penetrating the thick concrete ceiling, seeing the vast sky outside and the endless void behind it...... And the planet that flew swiftly in the Endless Void......
"Forget it, let's talk about it then. If it is really heaven that is going to kill us, no matter how much we struggle, it will only become the nourishment of the universe, and it will be in vain. ”
Cheng Ruan waved his hand weakly and said.
"Then now, let's deal with the combined forces of the Sang Empire and the Mufeng Empire first?"
"Nope. Cheng Ruan shook his head categorically and said, "I'm here to deal with the coalition forces of the Sang Empire and the Mufeng Empire." Black Dragon City is closely united with the northern tribes, and my mother and I are strategizing, and the eastern coalition army will not survive the end of the month. I don't need you here, I have other arrangements for you......"
......
To the west of the Red Empire, beyond the borders, there is a small city called Clamolgo.
This city originally belonged to the Yin Empire, because it was close to the border of the Red Empire, and due to the limited terrain and inconvenient transportation, the development has not been excellent, and it is one of the most inconspicuous cities in the Yin Empire.
But that's all before the war. Since the beginning of the war, Kramolgo has been transformed into a military fortress, with 23 floors of underground structures, strong enough to withstand the bombardment of strategic-grade nuclear missiles, and the war readiness resources have been continuously transported into Kramolgo from all over the other continent, disappearing into the belly of the steel beast.
The vast majority of attacks faced by the defenders on the Red Empire's western front came from Clamorgo.
Within the five-kilometer direct radiation zone of the fort, the coalition forces improvised five satellite-level war forts to share the pressure on Kramolgo, allowing the army to buffer and store some vital military supplies.
One of them is called the "Silver Sky".
In the command room of the Silver Sky Fortress, a general stood solemnly in front of the conference table, and behind him was a three-dimensional electronic projection with a faint glow, which marked the sphere of influence of the coalition defenders in clear red and blue, with mountains, rivers and plains clearly visible, and scattered dots of light scattered across the vast land, each light representing an army, which flickered or became bigger and brighter, or disappeared after a period of powerless struggle.
The admiral has a straight face, a straight military uniform, a tall and strong body, and a short silver-white beard standing on his lips, like a resolute soldier, and the iron and blood air overflows from his eyes, as if wrapped in the roar of guns, harvesting the lives of one enemy after another.
"Order the 3rd, 7th, and 24th squadrons to set off immediately to aid the Holy Shore Fortress! The defenders of the Red Empire don't know what gunpowder they have eaten, and the momentum of the counterattack has become more and more fierce these days, as if they want to break the net with us. Especially the guy called Sandrob...... He single-handedly destroyed half of the Holy Shore Fortress. If this continues, we will probably be defeated by the counterattack of the defenders of the Red Empire, and then the entire western front will fall into chaos, and the defenders will have a large number of troops and aliens entering the two war zones in the north and south, which will directly lead to the defeat of the entire war, which we absolutely cannot accept!"
Hearing the admiral's cold shout, a lieutenant general sitting next to him frowned, the corners of his lips drooped downward, and he said in a low voice: "General, the three major legions of the White Dragon City Military Headquarters have gathered on the western front, and the twelve dragon kings have reached six...... Now that they're attacking like crazy, isn't it wise for us to have to go head-to-head with them at the Holy Shore Fortress?"
The admiral glanced at the lieutenant general, took a deep breath, and asked, "Then what is your opinion?"
"Perhaps...... Can we give up the Holy Shore Fortress in order to buy some time? The Holy Shore Fortress is the closest to the territory of the Red Empire, if they still dare to move forward, they will inevitably become weaker and weaker, and this kind of brave offensive is by no means unusual, it is bound to not last long, we only need to delay for a moment or three, the morale of the defenders on the Western Front will inevitably plummet, and when the time comes, we will not only be able to recapture the Holy Shore Fortress, but also take the opportunity to find the flaws of the defenders and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
