Chapter 41: Doppelgangers

The flames of war brought hope to the dying, gave them food, and several able-bodied people quickly regained their mobility, dragging their tired bodies to approach and lobby the other persecuted.

Xi Pingwang is indeed carried away, he has a strong physique and a nimble mind. When he heard from the guard's ears that Dou'an had an uprising in Wulong Mountain, he immediately paid attention to it, and gathered his slaves, who usually obeyed him in private, to kill the guards and masters, and occupy the iron city.

But he knew that he was weak now, so he could only claim to support Dou'an, in order to win over his henchmen, he indulged his subordinates to commit murder, after all, in his heart, he didn't know what a king needed to do, he thought it was just power, but he didn't know the importance of having the world in mind. And this is precisely the most important thing that Barr passed on to Zhan Yan, Dou An and Roy: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world." ”

Xi Pingwang sat in the chairmanship of the Tiecheng Conference Hall, which was decorated by him with the copper coins he had scavenged, and it looked shiny. But someone interrupted his enjoyment, "King, a group of people appeared ten miles away, I heard that it was the King of Wulong, Dou'an, they seem to be coming to Tiecheng." ”

"Dou An, does he really take himself seriously, do you still think I really want to support him?" Xi Pingwang took his weapon and told the brothers to close the door and wait for me to reason with him. ”

On the riverside, Zhan Yan grinded the iron arrows around him on a daily basis, and the Xiping sergeant bypassed the big one far away and went straight to the only gate of the iron city. Xi Pingwang kicked the head of the city by himself, these days, although they were dull, but they repaired the protection of the iron city at an inopportune time, and threw the iron fire beast into the city into stones and heaped them at the head of the city, probably to prevent the counterattack of the Pingyu army, not wanting to be today, but to come in handy in advance.

Outside the city, Dou'an saw Tiecheng from a distance, and a group of hundreds of people rushed forward as if they had seen home. A hundred meters away from the city, an arrow was fired, and someone shouted in a broken Pingyu official dialect, "Who is under the city?"

"I'm Dou'an, asking to enter the city. Doan saluted and said

"Doan, which Doan?"

"Wulong Mountain, Dou'an. ”

"Nonsense, my Wulong King has a decisive battle with the Pingyu Council in Wulong Mountain, how can I get to this small iron city? Isn't it the spy of Qifeng's house, I want to enter the city in disguise? Leave quickly, otherwise, I will shoot random arrows... Ahh

The sound stopped abruptly after a bang, and a corpse flew down to the city. Zhan Yan held a longbow in his hand, glanced contemptuously at the dozens of slaves in the city, and said, "Noise." Then, with a wave of his hand, he took down the half-dead man lying in the corner as if he had been stimulated, rushed to the gate of the city, and knocked a dozen slaves guarding the gate to the ground.

"I am Zhanyan, the lord of the fire beast, Xipingwang is dead, the people at the head of the city, don't surrender quickly, open the door to welcome the king of Wulong into the city. The king of Wulong is benevolent and righteous, and he will not hurt your life. The flames of war shouted, and with a burst of arrows, they knocked a slave to the ground who had tried to get a weapon.

When Dou'an was at a loss, the city gate rumbled open, and nearly 100 people in different clothes lined up in two columns, and one in the middle stood with his back bowed, looking at the city gate with a smile.

"Lord Zhan Yan, it turns out that you saved us. "Dou An didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Zhan Yan, so when he came to meet him in small steps, he had to kneel and salute.

"Since the king of Wulong is already a king, where can he salute, in the future, I am willing to obey the dispatch and assist the king to establish a great cause. Zhan Yan had already given up his ambition to be the king of Pingyu and decided to follow Baal, of course, he no longer cared about what princes and generals Baal said, the most important thing was not to let outsiders be a puppet.

Douan was grateful, and immediately tied up the original slaves in the city and handed them over to Karn and a few of his faithful followers to educate and reform. He also summoned the slaves of the original nobles in the city and held classes together.

These nobles have escaped death several times, and they have already made promises, and immediately declared their allegiance. In the classroom, there were those who disagreed with the emperor's business, and Dou An also allowed them to argue with each other, and then reported to himself to confirm Zhan Yan's "teachings" to him. ”

After entering the Iron City, I have a settled heart, but things are more complicated. First of all, there were hundreds of people gathered here, and they were still the target of the Iron Fire Beast's attack, but Baal did not regain his mobility. Furthermore, they must immediately spread the word that Doan is in the Iron City to relieve the pressure on the Kailing duo.

As a result, Dou'an erected a new banner, changed the Wulong Empire to the Xiyu Empire, the country name was slaveless, and Tiecheng County was set up as the temporary capital. At the same time, Kahn was appointed as the prime minister, Tie Yan was appointed as the general of the protector of the country, and the household department, the official department, the criminal department, the military department, and the engineering department were established, and Kahn was the overall manager of Zhongshu Province.

Karn immediately called on people of insight to formulate the rules and regulations of the Western Feather Empire and abolish slavery. Those who accepted the idea of Dou'an earlier were assigned to the household department, and accompanied Oria to crusade against the surrounding manors and collect the population.

Instructed the Ministry of Engineering to immediately repair the city's defenses.

After Douan entered the city, Barr fell into a deep sleep again, and Douan and Olia came to see him twice. Especially, Olya has never been able to accept that his old friend will become a monster, but it seems that this is a fact again, otherwise how would Zhan Yan and Dou An learn these messy truths.

At this moment, Baal entered a very mysterious realm, hesitating the interruption and continuous recovery of brain atrophy, and his understanding of this body accelerated rapidly. Like a processor with full power, the information is constantly interpreted, and the key of inheritance is simulated and integrated, and finally it is concluded that "the only way to restore the human body is to strip the original body parts." ”

"So there are two Bal, one man and one beast, but why not? Just as Baal is zero, and zero is Baal. "Knowing this conclusion, the brain and the key to the inheritance were finally agreed upon after a heated debate.

But even so, they still have to seek a common idea that must always be reached after a split, and not kill each other because one wants to oppose the client.

In the end, the sacrifice will of course be made by the strange beast body, which will become a low-minded Baal who can only carry out orders as a fighting machine, and the real Baal will have to return to the physical state of a human.

So in the past few days, the monster body by the river has always been trembling and making a clicking sound, and from time to time there is a fire, and the people in the city are gradually becoming strange.

In the monster's body, the brain was stripped away, and a strange web-like structure took over the original space, and in the middle, a silver-white ball was bound inside. The monster's sharp horns grew a few inches, appearing smoother and sharper.

The peeled brain, with a red mole embedded in the center, retracted into the monster's chest cavity along the spine, where all the ribs were divided into three, one remained in its original position, one formed a human-shaped cavity, and the remaining one was broken and reorganized, fused with a stream of milky white liquid gushing out of the monster's order first, forming a cavity the size of a human head, wrapping the brain into it, and gradually forming the shape of a human head. Hanging there, blood and gas spurted out, filling the entire humanoid cavity.

When all this was done, the wounds on the monster's body began to heal rapidly, accompanied by the water in the moat and the surrounding air, forming a vortex the size of a dustpan and pouring into the monster's body.

The monster let out a low howl, its wings and limbs twisting and folding as if a strange bug was pulling at it, all of which was obviously painful.

Qi Feng soon learned from the captured small fortress that what he was tracking was only a small wave of Wulong people, so he abandoned the task of chasing and killing to his subordinates, and rushed back to Pingyu City to find out and ask Batu why he happened to graze horses there. But he couldn't leave Rhys and Tiger alone, because the two of them fled all the way, spreading rumors along the way, slaughtering slave owners, and causing many slaves to get out of control.

Before Qifeng entered the city, he heard that Dou'an occupied the iron city, established the Xiyu Empire, and released slaves, in just ten days, it has enveloped nearly 10,000 people, and a small iron mine in the north of the iron city has built a small city, named Nanyuan County.
