The sea, which stretched for hundreds of miles, was full of devastation, full of wreckage of ships, and still burning.

There were floating corpses everywhere.

Except for a very small number of ships that fled, ninety-five percent of them were sunk or captured.

The crane in the clouds stood on the bridge, overlooking the entire Great Yan Empire fleet, extremely heartbroken.

In this battle, the losses were really large.

Of the more than 200 warships of the Great Yan Empire, more than 30 were sunk, 50 were seriously damaged, and countless were slightly injured.

Suffice it to say, there is not a single ship that is not injured, and the last wave of mutant crows' air raids are really disgusting, and there are so many that they can't be prevented at all.

Fortunately, the explosives of the Great Salty Demon Country are not very powerful, and fortunately, these mutant crows have a limited bomb load, otherwise these waves of air raids will really make the fleet suffer more heavy losses.

"Your Majesty, this time our Imperial Navy has a total of 110,000 people in battle, with nine thousand dead and about twenty thousand wounded. ”

The crane in the cloud twitched for a moment, and then exhaled a few breaths with a slight force.

There is no doubt that this battle loss ratio is very outstanding, nearly 300,000 of the Great Xian Demon Empire's navy have been destroyed, while the Great Yan Empire's navy has suffered less than 30,000 casualties.

But this casualty still made the crane in the clouds a little shocking and heartbroken.

He could even see the faces of these soldiers in his heart, because after he arrived in the New Great Yan Empire, the first thing he did was the soldiers of the empire.

There are more than 200 people under the command of Inspector Li Hao, and everyone in Yunzhonghe knows them, and they all belong to retired soldiers.

However, after the empire decided to go east, many retired soldiers returned to the army, and some of them followed the crane to the eastern world. There are also female officers who have been on a blind date with the crane in the clouds, all of whom are from the main army of the empire, and they all came with them.

The spiritual outlook of the emperor is really outstanding.

Every soldier has received a higher education, and his heart is full of ideals, passion, honor, that kind of positive, that kind of sunny face, which really makes people like it very much.

Nearly 10,000 people died at once, which is really heartbreaking.

Therefore, there is a saying since ancient times, mercy is not in charge of soldiers.

Ji Yan came to Yunzhonghe's side and said, "Your Majesty, everyone has their own belonging, and some enjoy their old age in peace, and close their eyes happily surrounded by their children and grandchildren. Some people died on the battlefield and left with the nostalgia of countless people. In fact, they are all good endings, people are inherently dead, and the key is to die worthily. All the soldiers of the empire know that they are not fighting for your throne or your personal power, but for the civilization of the empire and for the future of the world. Although there are countless people shouting this phrase and it seems very hypocritical. But...... This time we are really fighting for justice, and we are very angry. ”

The crane nodded but did not speak.

"Your Majesty, we have rescued about 100,000 prisoners, and we will bring them back to Yunzhou, most of these people are the Great Zhou Navy, the former Great Win Empire pirates, the Great Zhou pirates, and the Shi family's navy. Ji Yan said: "Since it is a war of civilizations, we must not only fight a violent war, but also a war of people's hearts, and we want to let them see what is advanced and civilized." ”

"Good. "Crane in the clouds.

A moment later, Shi Bian, the former king of Zhenhai, appeared in front of the crane in the clouds.

When he saw the crane in the clouds, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because the change of the crane in the clouds is really great, first of all, it has become so handsome and incomparable, and so young, the key is...... This spiritual atmosphere, noble, graceful, peaceful.

What he had seen before was the chubby appearance of the crane in the clouds, although it looked harmless to humans and animals like Ao Yu, but the eyes of the crane in the clouds at that time were actually fierce, and the spiritual aura was actually extreme.

After struggling for a moment, Shi Bian knelt down and said, "Sinner, please see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up and ......" Yun Zhonghe stepped forward to help him up and said, "In the Great Yan Empire, the kneeling ceremony has been abolished. Master Shi, long time no see. ”

Shi Bian said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

I haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, because Yun Zhonghe has never seen Shi Bian since he was knocked unconscious by Emperor Tianzuo's medicine.

When he woke up, he killed Emperor Tianzuo, and Shi Bian was not in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty at all.

It is said that the crane in the cloud is still Shi Bian's murderous enemy, but now that these hatreds have reached the clouds, it is not that Shi Bian has become tolerant, but ...... What happened to him was too great.

He first sided with Emperor Wanyun and rebelled, only to be exterminated by Yun Zhonghe and Zhou Li borrowing Li Huamei's fleet.

After that, Shi Bian deprived the prince, and the family foundation was split.

But soon, Emperor Tianzuo framed Prince Zhou Li and Yunzhonghe, so the people who were against Yunzhonghe rose up again, including Shi Bian, and he became a duke again.

Then, Emperor Tianzuo died, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed.

Shi Bian and most of the southern borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty raised troops to rebel against the Great Win Empire. But in fact, at that time, he had already been bought by the Great Win Empire, and when he turned around, he betrayed most of the southern border of the Great Zhou.

I thought that I would get glory and wealth this time, but after that, the Emperor of the Great Win Empire became the Emperor of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom. The whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes, his inheritance has been taken cleanly, and there is no way to fight back, most of his family has died, and he has completely become a house slave without frost.

With such a big change, Shi Guang's death became insignificant.

Yun Zhonghe asked, "The current Great Xian Demon Kingdom is a sub-feudal system?"

Shi Bian said: "Yes, Your Majesty! The nine princes, the eighty-one dukes, each duke is actually the monarch of this land. Jing Wushuang owns the Shi Peninsula, as well as the entire four southern provinces. Of course, although she is a duke, she is also one of the three most powerful dukes in the entire empire. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Only people of the Great Xian Demon Clan's bloodline can become nobles and feudal kings?"

Shi Bian said: "Yes. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Then the nobles of the entire Great Xian Demon Kingdom are all former members of Baiyun City, or the warriors of the Demon Kingdom under the command of the Great Win Emperor?"

Shi Bian said: "That's not the case, after the Emperor unified the Eastern World, he mobilized an astronomical amount of manpower and excavated three cursed lands, where there was the Dark Demon Tower. Those who enter the cursed land and are immortal, and who can mutate, automatically have the bloodline of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom. was able to enter the Dark Demon Tower Trial, and further mutated, and became a warrior of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom. All the nobles came from high-ranking samurai or shamans. ”

This pattern is really the same as that of the Black Flame Empire.

It's just that the Great Emperor unearthed a greater cursed land, a higher level of the Dark Pyramid.

The crane in the clouds said: "You didn't enter the Cursed Land, and you didn't carry out a mutation?"

Shi Bian sighed: "I'm old, and there are hundreds of people in my family, but ...... Almost all of them are dead, and the mutant is nine dead. ”

Yun Zhonghe took out a map and said, "This is the territory map of the Great Xian Demon Country?"

On this map, the entire Eastern Continent and the Central Continent have become the territory of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom.

It includes the Great Zhou Empire, the Great Win Empire, the Great Xia Empire, the Northern Savage Region, the Western Regions Kingdoms, the Great Western Empire, and so on.

The total area of the crane in the clouds should be 27 million square kilometers

"More than that. Shi Bian said: "And here, dozens of islands outside the eastern seas, as well as this golden continent, are all the territory of the Great Salty Demon Country. “

That's more than 37 million days?

This golden continent alone is millions of square kilometers in size.

"What is this Golden Continent?" asked the crane in the clouds.

Shi Bian said: "This is the mine of the Great Xian Demon Country, there are all kinds of ores, and they are all the best mines, and they can't be used up if you go to pick them up directly." Gold, in particular, has an astonishing amount of reserves. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "This is Mojing?"

He pointed to a desert, thousands of miles away from the Roulan Kingdom, that is, the place where the crane in the clouds went to find the real mausoleum of Emperor Nu according to this coordinate, framed Emperor Da Ying, and instead made him transform into Nirvana.

This pyramid was the first to be found by Yuan Tianxie, I thought it was an inconsequential pyramid, but I didn't expect it to be one of the dark pyramids?

"That's right!" Shi Bian said, "This is Mojing." ”

The crane in the clouds said: "How is this city?"

Shi Bian said: "It is indescribable, the city of heaven, the city of the devil, the emperor has used tens of millions of manpower to excavate and build an unprecedented city in the world. A city that no one can conceive even in a dream, and a city that no one can conceive even if they are in a dream. ”

The crane in the clouds was puzzled.

Shi Bian said: "Of course, I haven't seen it, and I haven't been there. Only the duke of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom is qualified to go to the Demon Capital, and anyone else has not been ordered, once they step into the range of the Demon Kingdom, they will definitely die. And it is two thousand miles away from Mojing, it is already a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

The crane in the cloud looked at the map, and the more than 4 million square kilometers were directly turned into a forbidden area.

Mojing has become the most mysterious place in the world.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Have you ever seen the emperor of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom?"

Shi Bian said: "No, I've never seen it." ”

Yun Zhonghe asked again: "How do my people, or the people of the original four empires, feel about the Great Xian Demon Kingdom?

Shi Bian was silent for a moment.

Yun Zhonghe said: "You just seek truth from facts." ”

Shi Bian said: "Your Majesty, first of all, the life of the people of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom is better than before, and their material life has improved. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Why?"

Shi Bian said: "First of all, the empire captured nearly 200 million slaves, and they paid most of the labor. ”

This routine is similar to that of the Great Yan Empire, where nearly 200 million slaves supported more than 10 million citizens before, and the material life was extremely rich.

Shi Bian continued: "Also, according to the guidance of the so-called Nu Emperor Black Scripture, the grain production has increased, and the territory of the Great Xian Demon Country is extremely huge, and it has destroyed dozens of countries, arrested all the people above, and a large area of land in other countries has been reduced to pasture, and the cattle and sheep have multiplied countless times. So there is also a lot more meat than before, because of the development of the Golden Continent, silver and gold have increased dramatically, and there is a lot more money. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "How much better was that day than before?"

Shi Bian said: "The average person eats about 50% more grain and meat every year than before, and his income has more than doubled. ”

This is a bit beyond the imagination of the crane in the clouds.

In the history of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom of the Nu Emperor, most of the people were slaves, supporting samurai and shamans, and everyone was inferior to pigs and dogs.

Unexpectedly, after this Emperor Ying became the emperor of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, most of the people in the East were doing well.

Shi Bian said: "The material life is better than before, but the spiritual life is very depressing, which can be called the reign of darkness. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "What do you say?"

Shi Bian said: "The imperial examination has been abolished, the school has also been abolished, and everyone learns the **** Black Scripture." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "The Great Emperor's Black Scripture, isn't it the Black Scripture of the Angry Emperor?"

Shi Bian said: "The Black Scripture of the Nu Emperor is only a hundred thousand words, and the Emperor ascended the throne only, and wrote the "Black Scripture of the Great Emperor", a total of more than three million words, dozens of books, and counting. The next wave of "The Great Emperor's Black Scripture" should exceed five million words, and everyone in the entire Great Xian Demon Country will learn the **** Black Scripture. Whether it's the samurai class, or the shaman class, or you want to get ahead. All other learning, all books, poems, songs, etc., were abolished. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Do you have the "Great Emperor Black Scripture" by your side?"

Shi Bian said: "Of course there is, I will send it to His Majesty in a while." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "The imperial examination and the academy have been abolished, won't the scholars rebel?"

Shi Bian said: "After killing more than 100,000 people, no one dares to say a word." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "In other words, the people of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom are living a very depressed life?"

Shi Bian said: "Yes, it's very depressing! Because it is gradually divided into two classes, those who have the bloodline of the Great Xian Demon Country, that is, those who have successfully mutated. And then there are ordinary people. The former is high, owns everything, has the right to kill and take away, and ordinary people are like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep. Of course, all this is not obvious now, because there are still very few people who have mutated, and once there is a mutation, they will either be transferred to Mojing or enter the army. In the future, there will be more and more mutant people, and the hell for ordinary people is coming. ”

The crane in the clouds said: "What else?"

Shi Bian said: "There is also a fear among the people of the Great Salty Demon Country, that is, they will be taken away in batches and go to the land of the cursed to conduct the mutation trial, and the probability of death cannot be described. ”

Next, the crane in the cloud asked a most critical question.

"Mr. Shi, do you know the whereabouts of my adoptive father Ao Xin and Yuan Tianxie?" asked Yun Zhonghe.

Shi Bian said: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, the status of the criminal minister in the Great Xian Demon Country is too humble, so I don't know these things." ”

The crane in the cloud said: "That...... Where's Princess Xiangxiang?"

Shi Bian said: "The last news I got was that Princess Xiangxiang became a monk, and there is no way to know what happened after that. In fact, after the establishment of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, each feudal monarch went his own way, and the news was closed a lot. Not to mention the people, even we don't have the right to walk around, and the vast majority of people can't leave their own territory for the rest of their lives. So what's going on outside, it's completely unknown, the Great Salty Demon Country is a closed country you can't imagine. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "That...... Is the blood queen of the Great Western Empire, and my son Yun Yao?"

Shi Bian said: "Regarding the Blood Queen, there should be a whereabouts." I'm too low to be qualified to know. But the Duchess of Jing Wushuang, should know. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Understood, thank you, Mr. Shi." Next, I hope you write a full report, hard work. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Shi Bian said.

Then he left, and sent the Black Book of the Great Emperor.

Yun Zhonghe flipped through the book, and the result was not what he imagined.

This book has nothing to do with a cult of personality, and it's not very empty.

This set of books has more than a dozen branches, covering tendons, brains, spirits, strength, internal force fields, mutations, life differences, philosophy, and so on.

After looking at it a little, the crane in the cloud was extremely shocked.

Because this scripture is really full of infinite temptation and agitation.

It excavates the inside of the human body to the extreme, whether it is spiritual or **.

Of course, his essence is to pursue martial arts, to pursue strength, and to pursue a strong spirit.

He felt that a civilization should study the essence of life to the extreme, and completely focus on the knowledge within the human body.

Constantly strengthen one's body and spirit, and then promote the development of the entire human civilization.

And this process is extremely cruel, constantly nirvana, constantly metamorphosing, in the words of the crane in the clouds, it is constantly genetic mutation.

Then the people who successfully mutate the gene will reproduce each other's next generation. And those who do not have mutations are gradually eliminated.

In his description, once one's ego and power rise to a certain level, one is almost omnipotent.

This...... It should also be a kind of evolution? It's just a very dark, cruel evolution.

In this set of "The Black Book of the Great Emperor", he refutes all the behaviors of developing external forces, and feels that they are all evil ways. Only the transformation of life is eternal.

Yun Zhonghe only glanced at it, and felt that this book was really full of evil temptations.

The real Black Scripture, the Dark Scriptures.

He used his own set of theories to measure the whole world.

According to this set of "The Black Scripture of the Great Emperor", Yun Zhonghe can conclude that the people of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom are still living a prosperous life, which is completely false.

Because the Great Xian Demon Kingdom is too big now, it is difficult for the Great Emperor to reverse it all at once, so he comes step by step.

Next, the Great Salty Demon Kingdom will definitely become darker and darker, more and more cruel, and more and more terrifying.

Because what they worship is the power of darkness, which is eternal life in death.

Under the pressure of darkness, countless talents will transform into strength, and the entire empire will embark on the path of darkness and eternal life.

Therefore, in the future, the emperor will continue to exert unbearable dark pressure on the hundreds of millions of people in the empire.

Now, it's only the initial stage of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom.

Moreover, the emperor still has many, many important things to do, and he has not taken care of these hundreds of millions of people for the time being.

I can't imagine what will happen to this world once the Emperor's ideal of the Dark Demon Kingdom comes true.

What kind of civilization would that be?

I can't refer to the Great Salty Demon Kingdom of the Angry Emperor, because that Demon Kingdom is too small and too lazy.

Of course, it's still too late, because ...... Even after more than ten years, this Great Salty Demon Country is still just a prototype.

..........................................

After the victory of this sea battle, a landing battle will soon be carried out, and the southern border of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom will be directly captured.

You can't delay time, and the soldiers are fast.

However, the fleet needs to return to port for a certain amount of rest and replenishment, and some ships need to undergo some repairs.

The main goal of this landing battle is to capture the giant fortress of Jing Wushuang and eliminate the main force of the southern border of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom.

Today, the crane in the clouds has an army of 800,000 at hand.

And this time, 500,000 troops and thousands of ships of all kinds will be directly dispatched.

The day of the landing battle is getting closer and closer.

In order to boost morale, in order to commemorate the soldiers of the empire who died in battle, Yun Zhonghe decided to hold a recital.

He played it himself.

Suddenly, several ministers were strongly opposed.

Your Majesty, you are now the Imperial Monarch, how can you play? That's what musicians do?

Yun Zhonghe suddenly laughed and said, "Am I a vassal Fengya, or a real musician?"

"Of course you are a real musician, and the first master of music in the Empire for a thousand years. ”

When the crane in the clouds carried out the god-making movement in the New Great Yan Empire, it relied on his artistic talent to a large extent.

"I was an artist first, then a king. ”

"It's the Emperor. Ji Yan next to him said in a low voice.

This is the knot in the hearts of many courtiers of the Great Yan Empire, when they were in the empire, everyone's name for the crane in the clouds was nothing, and when there was a trend of public opinion to push him to the throne, the hearts of the important ministers of the empire were still full of worries.

And after the Eastern Crusade, especially after the war with the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, everyone felt the political charm of the emperor's honorific title.

The supreme leader of the Great Salt Demon Empire is the Emperor, while the Great Yan Empire is just a king.

Everyone felt as if they were inferior.

Next, the ministers could not resist the will of the crane in the clouds.

The concert began in earnest.

In the huge square, more than 300,000 soldiers sat cross-legged on the ground.

The ornate Imperial Orchestra is on a high platform, and the crane in the clouds sits in front of the piano, surrounded by dozens of amplification devices.

The concert begins!

Today's crane in the clouds is full of impassioned music.

After the transformation of the crane in the clouds, the spiritual power has doubled, and the level of performance has risen again, full of infinite infectious and shocking power.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers listened to it with fascination and enthusiasm.

Tens of thousands of captives represented by Shi Bian also came to listen to this concert, and Shi Bian and others were stunned.

Because the impact of this concert is too great.

It's so enjoyable to be in the midst of the stormy waves in the world of music.

Of course, there was a little bit of an interlude in the middle of the recital.

The daughter of the crane in the clouds, the well bird, was about to move, so she ran up and sat with her father and played a duet performance, "March of the Soldiers".

This surprised Yun Zhonghe, this baby daughter is completely obsessed with martial arts, and she has never learned the piano much.

How well it plays?

In fact, he didn't know that his daughter often watched him play, and he occasionally played with it, and he would play it while playing.

And she said that the so-called performance, in the final analysis, is mental comprehension and physical control.

Therefore, as long as the potential of the body is brought into full play, then learning other things will be fast, and there will be a feeling of knowing everything.

This passage suddenly gave the crane in the clouds a deep thought.

Of course, Jing Que played the piano with his father, and the effect was very, very good, which made the whole atmosphere a little lively.

"Long live the Great Flame!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live!"

Obviously he is the king, but hundreds of thousands of troops still shout Long live His Majesty the Emperor.

The concert is over.

....................................

Next!

Another batch of transport ships from the empire arrived, a full 200, and 100,000 emperors' ** regiments landed in Yunzhou.

What Yun Zhonghe didn't expect was that the one who led the army this time turned out to be Ji Zhan, the first commander of the Privy Council.

"Why are you here?" said the crane in the clouds, stunned.

Ji Zhan said: "I'm still not at ease, this Great Salty Demon Country is still stronger than we imagined after all. The Yunzhou base is too critical to be missed, so the minister recommended himself to guard Yunzhou. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "What about the Privy Council?"

Ji Zhan said: "I handed it over to Ji Yan, and hired Du Sha as a senior advisor to the Privy Council." ”

Ji Yan, the former commander of the Second Army of the Empire, the president of the Imperial Academy, and later the second commander of the Privy Council.

Tussauds has been in power for more than a decade and is now in power again. Originally, this position was more suitable for Ji Qing, but this woman ...... Not at all fit to be in power.

It's good that Lord Ji Zhan is here, because the scale of the war with the Great Xian Demon Kingdom will be far greater than imagined, so the Yunzhou base has become the top priority.

In the future, a large number of arsenals and laboratories will have to be moved over.

Even the Military Academy, as well as two universities, are going to set up branch campuses here.

Even if a large number of farms and pastures need to be cultivated here, this will not only become the largest military base of the Empire, but also become a window to show the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Xian Demon Country, and the weight will only get heavier.

And this is the place where you can really start from scratch, and you can build your ideal city according to your own ideas, and use the wisdom of the new civilization of the empire to the fullest.

Perhaps within a few years, Yunzhou will become an important town in the Great Yan Empire second only to the mainland.

It's best that a super important minister like Lord Ji Zhan came here to guard.

"Then, there is labor. "Crane in the clouds.

..............................

A few days later!

Thousands of ships of various types were assembled, and 60 giant airships were lifted into the air.

500,000 troops, board the ships, and the remaining 400,000 troops defend the Yunzhou base.

"I wish your majesty a victorious start!"

The crane in the clouds boarded the battleship and led an army of 500,000 to the north to kill the giant fortress without frost.

Because the southern navy of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom was completely wiped out, the Great Yan Empire mastered the sea control of these thousands of miles of sea areas.

Thousands of miles of ocean are unimpeded.

Just a few days later!

The Frost-Free Wind Splitting Giant Castle of the Duke of the Southern Border of the Great Salty Demon Country is right in front of him.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the crane in the clouds are approaching the city.

........................

Note: The next war scene will still not end in more than one chapter, and the next chapter will strive for three o'clock in the morning.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask cautiously, have you saved enough for your monthly pass?
