Chapter 158: The Flower of the Red Lotus

Wei Min was severely injured by Ji Shuixian, but neither Chen Ning nor Fang Zheng could help, Chen Ning had already killed the Abomination Lord and dozens of demon apostles, and Fang Zheng was tired of dealing with more than eighty eight-clawed ghost spiders and a dozen blade wolf riders.

Ji Shuixian struck a successful blow, then disdained to pursue, because her personality is like this, she will never do it herself if she can do it without doing it, so after she personally hit Wei Min with her sword finger, she stood lazily in place, gently brushed the reddish-brown robe, and lightly ordered the dozen or so bladed wolf riders around: "He's no longer good, go kill him!"

More than a dozen bladed wolves rode on Cerberus and swarmed towards Wei Min.

Wei Min, whose armor on his chest was shattered, his internal organs were shattered, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, looked at the dozen or so bladed wolf riders who were frantically rushing towards him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, revealing a sneer.

The blade wolf rider didn't notice the weird sneer on the corner of Wei Min's mouth, and pounced one after another, and the right hand bone knife of the first few blade wolf riders had already pierced Wei Min's body with quick movements.

However, what made them stunned was that their bone knives stabbed into Wei Min's body, but there was no crazy blood flowing out, they were stunned, and some of them had already pulled out the bone knives and were ready to give Wei Min a second way.

But at this moment, countless red blood qi suddenly erupted from Wei Min's body wounds.

When Ji Shuixian saw this scene, she immediately realized that it was not good, and whispered to retreat, as soon as her words fell, her body was already as fast as if she was teleporting, and she had appeared dozens of meters away in an instant.

But the dozen or so ninth-level blade wolf riders were not so alert and retreated, they found that something was wrong, and before they had time to retreat, Wei Min's body was like a small nuclear bomb with uncontrolled energy, and it exploded with a bang.

Countless red blood qi danced like a wild snake, and the explosion instantly engulfed more than a dozen blade knights, all of them were cut to pieces by the dancing blood qi, and these thousands of red blood qi that danced wildly finally flew into the sky one after another, forming a huge and dazzling red lotus in the sky, which did not disperse for a long time!

Flower of the God of War!

The defenders on the head of the city two kilometers away, although they couldn't see the specific battle situation clearly, but Major General Wei Min exploded his body and died together with more than a dozen bladed wolf riders, and the flower of the god of war rose in the sky, which everyone could see, even the streets of the city's empty alleys, all the citizens who were waiting for news, did not need to climb to the top of the city, and they could see the huge flower of the god of war in the air in the distance when they looked up.

In an instant, countless people cried, even the most stupid people could realize that this flower of the god of war with a lotus pattern represented the commander of the Beacon Red Lotus, that is, the commander-in-chief of Qingxiu City, Major General Wei Min had died.

In fact, as an elite legion, Wei Min is a tenth-level general, and there are also seven ninth-level generals in his legion, which can also be said to be among the best among all the legions in the empire, and it is not even worse than the Immortal Bird Legion.

With such a powerful elite legion, the Imperial Military Department was reluctant to let it die.

Therefore, when the zombie army broke through the Great Wall of Steel and swept through the southern provinces, the Grand Governor personally issued an order to Wei Min, asking Wei Min to withdraw his troops to Vermilion Bird City to join him and build a new defense line in Vermilion Bird City.

However, Wei Min found that although many residents of Qingxiu City left with the displaced people, many people were unwilling to give up their homes and choose to flee, they underestimated the strength of the zombie army this time, and chose to stay and stick to their hometowns and homes.

Therefore, Wei Min and the commanders of the defenders in several places were unwilling to abandon hundreds of thousands of residents, so they stayed with everyone and held Qingxiu City.

Now, the residents of the city all knew that Major General Wei Min had died in battle, and they all knelt down in unison, all of them hid their faces and choked up, and let out a cry of grief, even the soldiers on the head of the city cried silently.

Wei Min has already died, so how long can Chen Ning and Fang Zheng hold on, and when Chen Ning and Fang Zheng are also dead, the zombie army will launch a general attack, and the fate of Qingxiu City being slaughtered will come, right?

……

Ten kilometers away, the July Drift Fire was in front of a rebel village, which was the rebel forward outpost, and Makino was about to order his troops to attack the village and kick the rebel outpost.

However, he suddenly heard the adjutant exclaim: "Sir, look at the sky over there, the flower of the god of war!"

Makino was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by the adjutant, only to see a huge lotus flower as bright as the sunset floating in the sky, and he lost his voice: "There is a tenth-level general who has sacrificed his powerhouse, and over there is Qingxiu City, could it be Major General Wei Min, he has already sacrificed?"

The adjutant lowered his voice: "Sir, if General Wei sacrifices him, then Qingxiu City is estimated to fall as well." Qingxiu City has fallen, the zombies in this area will continue to advance, and the residents of Qingxiu City will be slaughtered, and there will be a lot of new zombies, and our situation has become dangerous, why don't we attack here, and we should hurry up and retreat?"

The village was silent, and it seemed that the rebels inside were not afraid of the July Flames.

And in the dense forest in the distance, there are more than 20,000 rebel troops, hiding in it, and the leader of this rebel force is called Shi Python, one of the four heavenly kings of the rebel army.

Shi Python had long heard that there was an imperial army called July Drift Fire, and recently frequently attacked the small strongholds of their rebel army, which completely angered him, and he and his subordinates studied the combat mode and attack route that the July Drift Fire troops were used to, so as to deduce that the next target of July Drift Fire was here, a small village called Qinghe Village.

Therefore, Shi Python personally led 20,000 rebels to ambush in the dense forest less than two kilometers away from Qinghe Village, just waiting for the July Drift Fire to attack the village, and the Stone Python led people to kill out of the dense forest, killing the July Drift Fire Army by surprise.

But to the surprise of Shi Python and the others, the July Flowing Fire Army, after the front line in the village, did not launch an attack for a long time.

Shi Python's younger brother, Shi Hai was stunned and said, "Why didn't these imperial lackeys attack the village where we planted the explosives, did they detect something?"

Shi Python shook his head: "No, you look at the sky in the distance, the flower of the god of war has appeared, there is an accident on the side of Qingxiu City, it is estimated that Wei Min, the commander-in-chief of the defenders, died in battle." ”

Shi Hai exclaimed: "Wei Min died in battle, Qingxiu City will be crumbling, we still want to win the hundreds of thousands of residents of Qingxiu City to join our rebel army, now it seems that they are all going to be killed by zombies, and we have no hope of winning them." ”

At this moment, a huge signal flare burst from the sky in the distance, and it exploded in the sky, which was the Imperial Army's emergency distress flare.

It is usually a very, very dangerous moment when this kind of distress flare is fired, and the flare can be easily seen by people in a nearby area of 20 kilometers.

Usually only cities above the intermediate level, there will be such a signal flare, if it is not sent out to be destroyed by the severe situation of the city, this kind of signal flare is not allowed to be used easily, and according to the rules of the military department, the general nearby troops, even individual soldiers, as long as they are imperial soldiers, see this kind of signal flare, they must immediately go to the rescue.

Shi Python looked at the signal flare in the sky, and said calmly: "Qingxiu City has sent a signal flare, let's take a look at the Imperial lackeys of July Flowing Fire first, how to choose?"

Shi Hai snorted coldly: "How else can these dogs choose, they bully the soft and fear the hard, they know that they oppress us, do you think they really dare to shake the zombie army, even Xiao Ke's dog thief, they have fled to Vermilion Bird City to hide." Now there is still the flower of the god of war floating in the sky, and the tenth-level generals are all killed in battle, he Makino is a fart, I think they are going to run away with their tails between their legs. ”

Indeed, the adjutant of the July Flowing Fire Legion had already advised Makino to withdraw his troops.

Makino's face was complicated, he knew that Chen Ning had risked his life to go to Qingxiu City, and Chen Ning's words before leaving to ridicule their group of legion commanders as bastards and rice buckets were still ringing in his ears.

Makino knew that Chen Ning was very strong, but Makino didn't feel that he was inferior to Chen Ning.

But Chen Ning bravely went to Qingxiu City, but Mu Ye didn't go, although Mu Ye has been suppressing the rebels these days, but there is a thought in his heart: If I don't go to the aid of Qingxiu City, why should he Chen Ning dare to do something, I don't dare, am I not as good as him?

Makino has the arrogance and strong self-esteem of the nobility in his bones, he does not allow himself to question himself in his heart that he is inferior to Chen Ning, the only way to eliminate the inner demon barrier is to also go to Qingxiu City, let everyone know, let Chen Ning understand that he is not a gentleman and a waste, but a leader, a better leader than Chen Ning.

Makino made a decision in his heart, and suddenly there were no gains and losses in these days, but he regained his self-confidence, and became arrogant and high-spirited again.

He coldly ordered: "Have you forgotten the imperial military regulations, when you see the emergency distress flare, you must rush to help, order to go down, give up the attack on Qinghe Village, and immediately rush to Qingxiu City to help!"

"Sir, this ......"

"Go!"

The adjutant saw that Makino was really here, and he gritted his teeth: "Obey, sir!"
