Episode 23 Twilight of the Empire Chapter 5 The Bloody Sun Rises

Dilling was saying it lightly, but Sterling knew that there was more to it than that.

Di Lin was forced to surrender yesterday by the fifteenth army of the demon race, leaving behind more than 100,000 surrendered demon soldiers, he himself led his troops straight to the battlefield, looking at the exhaustion of Di Lin and the accompanying soldiers and horses with black circles under their eyes, it must have been a day and night rush without rest......

Soldiers and horses traveled 120 miles day and night, which was enough speed to run a dead horse. If it weren't really urgent, no one would be willing to do this kind of high-intensity march. Sterling knew that Dilling was preparing for a rainy day and preparing himself for defeat. He was preparing to retreat in the direction of the imperial capital when he was preparing to lose the battle, preparing to resist the pursuit of the Demon God Emperor.

This fearful and ruthless inspector general is genuinely concerned about himself. Sterling was moved and whispered, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Di Lin smiled slightly, and everything was clear in his heart: "What is there to thank for?" Tell me, what's going on? I will go back and give an account to Your Highness. ”

"The eleventh army of the demon race was completely annihilated, the fifth army of the demon race was completely annihilated, the sixteenth army of the demon clan surrendered, the third army of the demon race was defeated, and 20,000 people ran away, and Ah Xiu is pursuing; The only one who escaped was the Yulin Army, Yun Qianxue and Kalan ran fast with the soldiers and horses, but it is estimated that there are not a few soldiers left in the Yulin Army; The Guards Brigade was surrounded by our regiments, and it was only a matter of time before they were all annihilated.

As for the head of the enemy, Pei Ma was captured alive, Ling Buxu was killed, Ma Wei disappeared, Yun Qianxue and Karan ran away, and Yerma was said to have been captured by the Far Eastern Army. Only the Demon God Emperor is still missing, some say he ran away, some say he was killed.

The specific trophies and the number of enemies killed and captured cannot be counted, but one thing is certain: the main force of the demon invasion army in the west, the six demon legions with the Senea number, have all been wiped out. β€œ

As Sterling spoke, his subordinates planted the captured demon flags on the ground one by one, next to the corpses of the demon soldiers who had been killed. The morning breeze blows, these colorful flags roll and blow open, the demon warriors lie on the ground like felled wood, their faces are facing the sky, their faces are pale, and their round eyes are staring at the fluttering flags, and the flags are also fluttering, fluttering in the sky above these warriors who seem to be asleep. On the horizon in the distance, facing the morning light, you can see the infantry of the Southeast Army pulling the baggage of the Earth Demon Clan, column after column, endlessly.

Di Lin scrutinized the flags, one by one. The patterns on the flags are varied and colorful. Birds, lions, iron walls, giants, the countless flags that were still flying above the heads of the demon army yesterday, except for the imperial flag, have all fallen into the hands of human blood and victory at this moment. This embodies the most glorious and proud symbol in the history of the tribes of the Demon Kingdom, and now it has been thrown at the feet of Di Lin like garbage by humans.

Looking at these flags, and then looking at the terrible battlefield with no end in sight, the mountains of corpses, the short guns inserted in the battlefield, and even the rising sun was dyed with a layer of blood red by this battlefield, rising. In the bright light of the morning, they could clearly see the vast battlefield, and the vast highlands and jungles under the city of Bataan on both sides were full of broken spears, machetes, and heavy swords, burning tents and baggage, and mountains of human and horse corpses. On the mountain of corpses, he also poked up hands and feet, like flags planted on it. In this bloody battlefield, the corpses are endless.

Di Lin showed a relaxed intoxication, and he said solemnly: "This is a great victory, and the whole kingdom has fallen before us, which is unparalleled in history. The significance of the Battle of Bataan is indescribable! ”

He pointed hard at Sterling's shoulder: "Well done, Sterling, this job is so beautiful, no one can do it so beautiful!." No one can take away the title of the first general of mankind! ”

Sterling shook his head humbly: "Tuba, I deserve it." In this battle, my contribution is very small, if it weren't for Ah Xiu dragging the Demon God Emperor and the Guards Brigade, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the wind and frost, if it wasn't for you to suppress the fifteenth army of the demon race, who would have killed the demon, it would be difficult to say. What's more, this battle suffered heavy casualties, and our army was greatly damaged, and it is already difficult to say that it is a victory. ”

"History doesn't remember the details." Di Lin sighed softly: "No, history only remembers the victors. ”

"I'm just worried about the Demon God Emperor, if we can't get rid of him for a day, we won't be at ease for a day. If he doesn't die, we can't say that this battle is a complete victory. His whereabouts are unknown, and it is unknown whether they escaped or were killed. ”

"Killed, it is possible; Escape, by no means. The Demon God Emperor was arrogant, his eyes were above the top, and he would not tolerate himself running away in front of a group of mortals. ”

Sterling looked at Diling in surprise: "Why are you so sure?" ”

Di Lin smiled but did not answer. Although he had only met the Demon God Emperor once, just as the Demon God Emperor felt the fiery ambition contained in Di Lin, Di Lin also felt the arrogance of the Demon God Emperor like a lonely peak and white snow. This person has an unshakable heart, and his temperament and demeanor are silently embodying some proud qualities.

That peerless man will not change because of any external force, how can you imagine that such a man will be chased by humans because of defeat?

With Di Lin arrived, not only did they have eight elite military police, but more importantly, they brought the 101st Division of Special Forces, which had shown terrible power in the Battle of Langcang River, breaking the fleet of the Liufeng Army and Naval Division, and laying the foundation for Zichuan Xiu's victory. In some cases, this secret force of the Zichuan family entered the battle again, announcing the demise of the remnants of the demon armored beasts.

There was no need for infantry units to go into battle anymore, and under the bombardment of long-range catapults, the positions hastily built by the armored beasts disappeared in an instant. Under the dense slinging of stones, the armored beast legions, which had planned to defend to the death, could no longer sit still, and they rushed out of their positions and swarmed down the high slopes.

"Get ready, wind up!"

Every 10 ballistas were assigned a position commander, all dressed in black gendarmerie uniforms. Poked like a nail in front of the crossbow machine positions lined up. The astonishing sound of the dark clouds surging up the high slope did not bother the gendarmes operating the crossbow machines. As in normal training, the gendarmes skillfully and quickly pressed the sharp arrows into the cassette of the crossbow machine in rows and rows, and pulled the strings with brass pliers, and the sound of a piercing string wire was incessant.

Loud commands rang out from all over the position: "Machine No. 1 is ready!" ”

"Unit 2 is ready!"

"The eighth machine is stocked with cattle!"

"The first detachment is ready!"

"The second detachment is ready!"

"The Eleventh Detachment is ready!"

"Lord Qiyu, all fifty-eight groups are ready!"

Dilin gave the order to attack: "Volley, then the groups are free to fire." ”

A shrill whistle rang through the line, and the signal for the total attack was released! At the same time, the black-clothed commanders waved the small red flag held high in their hands violently, and in a mechanical creaking, four hundred and forty crossbow machines fired a salvo at full speed. β€œ

Under the impact of this metal storm, the group of armored beasts that were charging seemed to be swept by an invisible giant with a big comb, and the scene of those behemoths falling to the ground was particularly spectacular, hundreds of armored beasts unwillingly fell and rolled in the huge screams, and there were countless gaps in the ranks of the attacking armored beasts, which became sparse.

"The attack works! The attack works! "_ From the forward observation post came the voice of the observer trembling with excitement. There was a roar of cheers at the head of the formation, and the soldiers of the Southeastern Army and the Far Eastern Army expressed their excitement by whistling vigorously and stomping their feet, while the orcs brandished their sticks and roared to the sky, and the head of the formation resounded with enthusiastic cheers. No one could have imagined that the armored beast monster that had made the Far Eastern Army suffer so much in the past two days would be cleaned up by Di Lin so easily.

The gendarmes of the 101st Special Division were indifferent to their results, their expressions of indifference. Not like in battle, but like workers working on the assembly line, they mechanically repeat the same movements, loading, propelling, winding, observing, aiming, and firing, so that more than 400 planes are like an erupting volcano, pouring metal blows on the armored beasts intensively and uninterruptedly, bringing terrifying death, screams, and blood.

"A row of twelve arrows can be fired in bursts, can also be fired in a single shot, 400 meters of range, can penetrate the hard skin of armored beasts, the reloading time of skilled operators is two minutes, and an average of three types can fire a row of ......"

Listening to the crossbow data reported by the scouts, the generals of the Liufeng family were silent, and their faces were cloudy. Of course, they who are familiar with the war can see that the sharp weapon against the armored beast today can also be used against the cavalry of the Flowing Wind family in the future - or, this efficient killing weapon is simply made to charge against the light cavalry of the Flowing Wind family, but by mistake, the armored beast of the demon clan tasted the bitterness first.

Major General Ying Mulan, who had the fastest mental arithmetic, quickly came up with the result: "Theoretically, as long as there are one hundred and fifty such crossbow machines fired in turn, they can stop the cavalry charge of the five cadres, and only a very few horsemen with the best luck can rush to the front of the battle in hand-to-hand combat." If we double the number of cavalry, the enemy will only need to increase the number of crossbows to 250 to stop us. Your Highness, we have to be cautious with the Zichuan family in the future. ”

"Bastard!" Lieutenant General Xiao Yuan shouted: "Ying Mulan, what are you talking nonsense!" How can our invincible cavalry formation be stopped by these broken machines of the enemy? Your majesty in Changzichuan's house, destroy your own ambition! Their crossbows move slowly, and it is even more difficult to assemble, and the swift Wind Cavalry can not be compared to the slow-moving armored beasts! ”

"What General Xiao Yuan said has some truth." Flowing Wind and Frost groaned, "The Zichuan family's long-range weapons are extremely powerful, but they need preparation time to transport, assemble, and set up positions. Before they assembled, if they could sneak up with elite cavalry, they might not be able to win a victory. With such a weapon, it is foolish to charge head-on, and it should be avoided and attacked in a roundabout way.

"But in any case, we have to admit that in terms of class superiority, the Zichuan family has surpassed us, and in the face of such weapons, our habitual Daguanmo cavalry charging tactics are no longer suitable. The war with the demons has caused heavy casualties to the Zichuan family, but it has also forged a million elite Zichuan troops, and their military power is unprecedentedly strong, and if we still cling to the rigid view of the past that we are evenly matched, we will die an ugly death. Times have changed. ”

Accompanied by the soft exclamation of the Flowing Wind and Frost, there was a burst of screams and hiss from the armored beasts. Whether the crossbow machine works against the upper class cavalry will have to be tested in actual combat, but for a slow-moving melee class like the Upper Armored Beast, it is simply a massacre.

The field was full of decay, and the way to the charge was full of wounded and dead armored beasts. Those tough armored beast soldiers, even if they were wounded, refused to give in and let out a moan, but kept letting out angry roars, and as long as they had a breath, they had to keep moving. They marched in front of the rain of arrows, and above their heads were a dense stream of throwing stones, Molotov cocktails, fire bombs, densely packed, pouring like raindrops, and not stopping. The closer you get to the human position, the more intense the strikes become. The more densely the fallen soldiers became.

Having suffered a terrible blow, the Guards Brigade was still advancing, in full ranks and with a calm expression. One by one, their companions fell, and the soldiers of the Guards Brigade who were not afraid of death were still advancing, their legendary loyalty and faith in the Demon God Emperor made them fearless of death. The soldiers knew that it was impossible for them to rush to the enemy's position, and the enemy would not even leave them with the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand. You can't fight bloodily and fall to the ground with your enemies in a fierce battle, you can only fall powerlessly in front of those whooshing and screaming flying irons. With each further step, the ranks shrunk, all the armies fled, all the friendly forces fled, but the Guards Brigade continued to advance, getting closer to danger and closer to death. No one hesitated, no one was afraid, the kingdom had fallen, and the army was willing to die.

Singing rang out again in the queue:

"Climb over mountains, cross the land, cross deserts, cross rivers, conquer enemies, kill them! Fight the enemy!

As your prestige is shocked, as your glory bathes, the Guards Brigade, the Sword of the Protoss, the Guards Brigade, the pride of the kingdom.

The Guards Brigade, the pride of the Great Demon God! ”

In the midst of that song, the Guards Brigade swooped forward, and the ground trembled to the left with the overwhelming cheers. Amid the earth-shattering song, the Guards marched majestically, braving a rain of arrows, and one by one the soldiers fell to the ground, their massive bodies covering the brown earth, and blood pouring into the wilderness on the outskirts of Bataan.

The Guards Brigade, the last military brigade of the Demon God Kingdom, the last pride.

The generals of the human race all stood on a high place, holding their breath, watching the enemy's military formation from the beginning to the last few yuan, seeing the leading armored beast giants full of arrows but still holding high the flag of the Guards Brigade that had been shot in rags, and watching the giants who fell to the ground rolling on the ground and struggling to crawl forward step by step, leaving a long blood mark on the ground, the generals were shocked.

More than 20,000 armored beasts all fell on the road of the charge, the corpses were piled higher than people, and only a few wounded people were left who staggered forward, and the song was intermittent, still endless: "...... Guards Brigade. The pride of the kingdom, the pride of the Guards Brigade, the pride of the demon gods......"

Seeing such a military brigade, even the enemy who had the upper hand suddenly felt respect.

Sterling muttered, "Excellent! ”

Flowing Wind and Frost exclaimed: "Incomparable! ”

In the face of such a loyal soldier, the victor could not help but feel a kind of speechless terror.

Only the last armored beast warrior remained, his body was full of arrows, his face was dripping with blood, and a large hole had been shot through his stomach, and his cyan intestines could be seen, and he held his stomach with one hand and moved forward in pain.

Di Lin raised his hand, and the crossbow fleet stopped firing, and there was silence for a while.

He staggered along as if he were drunk. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of human troops, the two-meter-tall giant staggered forward and walked to the crossbow machine position, fearing that this monster would suddenly destroy the precious crossbow machine and serve as a guard

The gendarmes tried to kill him with their spears, but Dilin stopped him, "Let him seeβ€”he has the qualifications." ”

So, all the operators and guards retreated, and the armored beast giant stood curiously in front of a crossbow, and the rough thug gently stroked the crossbow

The cold, smooth surface of steel. Exuding childlike innocence and curiosity, the armored beast giant carefully stroked the embrasion of the crossbow,

Brackets and torsos, looking at the rows of arrows and pincer tools scattered on the ground.

In the face of advanced scientific and technological civilization of mankind, his eyes showed confusion and confusion, and he could not understand why these did not look sharp and terrible at all

But can destroy their bravest and strongest warriors in an instant?

"Whew......"

Leo roared, burst out with the last of his life potential, and was about to rush towards Dilin, but the gendarmes were already on guard, and ten crossbows were launched at the same time

Hundreds of sharp arrows rained down on Leo, and the huge impact knocked him to the ground.

The battered Leo struggled to get up, but his hands and feet were shot off, and he let out a long hiss in anger and shouted to the sky, "Semudrasima! ”

The second round of bows and arrows arrived, and the powerful arrows pinned him to the ground, and the armored beast commander of the Demon God Kingdom opened his eyes and swallowed his last breath, and his last roar slowly died out in the vast field outside Danba, and everyone heard it.

"What does that mean?" Flowing Wind Frost asked softly.

Ying Mulan shrugged: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't know the magic language. ”

"In Senea, this sentence roughly means: "The demon kingdom will live forever."

A bloodied young soldier walked from behind them, and he looked intently at Leo's fallen body, his eyes revealing mixed feelings, as if sad as if happy.

Hearing that crisp and magnetic voice, Flowing Wind and Frost turned around, stared at this figure intently, staring vigorously at the face covered with blood, oil sweat and beard stubble, she had always been calm and trembled slightly, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Who are you? How did you get in here? Ying Mulan shouted at him vigilantly, her hand already pressed on the handle of the knife. True evil sect, he thought, where the marshal is, it is heavily guarded, how did this young man wearing the officer uniform of the Zichuan family get in?

The young officer smiled brightly at Ying Mulan, showing his white teeth: "General Ying Mulan, don't you remember me?" ”

"Are you ......" Ying Mulan looked at him suspiciously, looking at this young soldier, he felt that the other party was really a little familiar, and he blurted out: "Commander Zichuan!" ”

Standing in place, quietly looking at the person in front of him, wiping the blood and sweat from his head and face with a handkerchief, the heroic envoy with sword eyebrows and starry eyes was looking at her with a smile, and his sweetheart was still Lang.

There is a touch of black stubble on his lips, which adds a bit of mature masculinity to him.

She looked at him, drunk. Every day and night that was tormented by longing, his image was so vivid that he dreamed of his sweetheart being thousands of miles away with the murderous demons, and he was so worried about him that he couldn't sleep at night. Suddenly, his real person was so out that she had the illusion that it was something real or a dream at the moment.

She spoke softly: "Ah Xiu? ”

"It's me." Shikawa Xiu stared at her gently, "Thank you, Frost." ”

The two looked at each other. With eyes. Zichuan Xiu thanked silently: "You promised me to rescue the Zichuan family, you did it, I also kept my promise, and I returned to you alive." ”

"Is it really you?"

"It's me."

Liufeng Shuang trembled and stretched out her hand, stroking the most Zichuan Xiu's face, touching his thin face, the rough beard stubble, the warm lips, she looked at his bright and smiling eyes, yes, such eyes, warm and full of care, no one else has such eyes except him.

Shikawa Xiu stood quietly in place, letting her touch her face. He looked at him tenderly and whispered, "You are haggard." ”

A real touch came from Wei Jue's fingers, confirming that what she saw was not a dream, and tears flowed silently from her eyes. How many swords and swords, how many wind, frost and snow nights, it seems that it was still yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

How much has happened in this year that has shocked the world! The invasion of the demons, the Zichuan family suffered heavy losses, the rise of the Far East army, the Liufeng army and the Zichuan family turned enemies into friends, the demons from prosperity to decline until the immediate destruction, in the changes of the sea and mulberry fields, millions of people died, and the immortal family and country fell. In this troubled world of war, it is a great miracle that two lovers who are thousands of miles apart can still meet again.

Standing next to the side and silently watching the couple, for some reason, Ying Mulan felt that her nostrils were sore, and she just wanted to cry.

He quietly moved away and wanted to leave, but Zi Chuanxiu stopped him: "Ying Mulan, you stay." I'm leaving. ”

Liu Fengshuang was startled, and involuntarily grabbed Zichuan Xiu's hand, Ying Mulan understood, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Zichuan, you are our good friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, everyone misses you very much, the big victory plus the reunion after a long absence, that is a rare double happiness?" Why don't you wait a little longer with us? I'm going to find two bottles of good wine and everyone have a celebratory drink! ”

Although Liu Fengshuang didn't make a sound, her hand grabbed harder, and the intention of saving was already revealed in her eyes.

Zi Chuanxiu smiled helplessly: "Celebration is naturally a celebration, but it's not some, there is still a lot of sweeping work, there are tens of thousands of wounded in my camp that need to be taken care of, and the captured prisoners of the demon army also need to be settled." There are also heavy loot from the demon clan to be distributed - if I don't go over, the two guys Di Lin and Sterling will swallow a thousand and two nets, and they won't even leave me with a slag - the most important thing is that the Demon God Emperor has not yet been found. If we can't find him, we can hardly say that we will win this battle. ”

Liu Fengshuang frowned slightly: "The Guards Brigade has been completely annihilated, and the Demon God Emperor has not yet been found?" ”

"That's what I'm weird about." Zichuan Xiu replied, "If the Demon God Emperor was alive, he shouldn't have been silent for so long. ”

In fact, this question is not only Zichuan Xiu's sleepiness, but also the confusion of all the generals and commanders of the Zichuan family.

Although the battle was won, the whereabouts of the Demon God Emperor are unknown. This became a sharp sword on the heads of the generals. The army is exhausted, but there is no rest yet, and the soldiers must patrol and search the entire battlefield to capture the demons. All divisions and teams have been told that they must be wary of a demon royal family, except that his pupils are blue, his appearance is the same as that of a human, and he can speak human language fluently. In order to prevent this person from fleeing in disguise in a human military uniform, the human officers and soldiers who carry out battlefield tasks must be in groups of ten, and all officers and soldiers who encounter a lone person must be interrogated, and those who are suspected must be detained on the spot.

The half-orcs of the Far Eastern Army have become fragrant babies, because no matter how disguised they are, it is impossible for the Demon God Emperor to disguise themselves as half-orcs, so the half-orcs have become the most suspicious soldiers. Under the joint command of Stirling and Dilin, Zichuan Xiu sent all the orc teams in his hands to search the battlefield.

Worried about the terrifying combat power of the Demon God Emperor, Shikawa Xiu asked the soldiers not to be busy fighting once they encountered an unexpected situation, and the most important thing was to quickly disengage and sound the alarm as soon as possible.

"Just send some Demon God Emperors is a great achievement, don't be greedy!" Zichuan Xiu earnestly told his subordinates: "The Demon God Emperor is not a man who can deal with the ground, to deal with him, you must rely on special forces like the 101st Division!" ”

There is no need for Zichuan Xiu to nag, and the team leader also knows to be cautious. The moment when the Demon God Emperor single-handedly entered the Far Eastern Army formation and captured the flag, everyone still remembered it vividly, and his terrifying combat effectiveness left a deep impression on the entire Far Eastern Army.

The search continued until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and Dekun's troops were the first to report the good news: "Send some Demon God Emperor!" ”

At that time, the leaders of the Zichuan family were discussing military affairsβ€”at least, they had attempted to. In the name of the military chief, Sterling summoned a joint meeting of the three commanders, Zichuan Xiu, Di Lin and Minghui, to discuss the arrangements after the war, but within five minutes of sitting down in the tent, Zichuan Xiu began to snort loudly. The commanders smiled wryly, and they all saw each other's bright dark eyes.

After relaxing, the temptation of sleep is simply too great to resist. In the same way, Minghui and Di Lin were also traveling day and night, and neither of them could get a good night's sleep. ”

Di Lin simply said: "What kind of bird club is there, it's serious for everyone to sleep." ”

Sterling hesitated: "Not okay? The army is still holding on, and all the troops are still searching for the Demon God Emperor, and we are lazy behind closed doors, and this effect doesn't seem to be very good......"

Minghui F: "It's just the four of us, who knows outside?" They all think that we are studying major military decisions, who dares to break in? ”

Of course, Shikawa Xiu, who was asleep, couldn't express his opinion, but he expressed his approval of Minghui-sama with a loud snoring sound. With a resolute three votes to a hesitant one, the Military Affairs Department quickly passed a major resolution: shut the door and go to bed!

They were all tired people, and everyone lay down and fell asleep, until someone outside shouted: "Lord Qiqi, send some Demon God Emperor!" ”

The four commanders were awakened at the same time, and Zi Chuanxiu rushed to the door as soon as possible: "Where is he?" Quickly transfer troops to surround it! ”

"In the Armored Beast Camp!"

Fast horses, the commanders galloped towards a high slope, which was the last position of the armored beast legion to break through.

The Xiuzi battalion and the orc troops who arrived when they heard the wind had already sealed it off. A large group of orcs were heavily armed at all intersections of the armored beast camp.

"My lord," Seeing Zi Chuan Xiu and several other commanders arriving together, Dekun quickly stepped up and saluted Zi Chuan Xiu: "It's us who sent some Demon God Emperors first!" It's not easy, my lord......"

Looking at his wordy appearance, it seemed that he was willing to put the credit and hard work on the table, but unfortunately Zi Chuanxiu was anxious at the moment, how could he have time to listen to his nagging, and asked bluntly: "Where is the God Emperor?" Lead the way, quick! ”

When Shikawa Shu entered, he saw a man lying in the open space between the tents. Seeing this person, Zichuan Xiu's first feeling was that he was not dead, but just quietly asleep. The afternoon breeze gently blew on his forehead, and the warm sunlight shone warmly on his heroic and pale face, leaving a faint silhouette under the delicate and slender eyelashes.

He was dressed in a lilac kingdom uniform, neatly dressed, and his hands were peacefully clasped on his abdomen. The wound was barely visible, only a large piece of the white cloak under his body was soaked with blood, and only the slightest wound on his neck could be noticedβ€”no one dared to imagine that so much blood could flow out of such a thin wound.

Then, Zi Chuanxiu looked back at Di Lin, but saw Di Lin looking intently at the people lying on the ground, for a long time, he nodded solemnly and slowly, and said softly: "It's him." Then he solemnly raised his hand and untied his military cap, and bowed gently to the man on the ground.

The greatest warrior of our time, the emperor of the most powerful empire, and the proudest warrior, has been laid to rest forever. His sword, the glorious sword that terrified the Far Eastern Army, was silently stuck on the ground next to his head, the blade shining like a wave.

Minghui squatted down and carefully checked the wound of the Demon God Emperor, and then touched the veins in his neck, after a long time, he got up and said: "The Demon God Emperor has been dead for about five hours, and the cause of death is the thin and deep sword mark that cut the artery in his neck, according to his martial arts, he should have committed suicide." ”

Sterling and Dilling glanced at each other, and they both knew each other. Five hours ago, it was time for the Armored Beasts to make their final charge. The Demon God Emperor sent the last army of the Demon Emperor to death, and he himself chose to commit suicide.

Looking at the corpse of the Demon God Emperor, Stirling was not without sorrow: "Yesterday, this person thought that he could become the lord of the continent. ”

"Actually, with his force, it is not difficult to break out of the encirclement." Zichuan Xiu said: "If you regroup your troops and horses and fight again, you may not be unable to win. ”

"Impossible." Di Lin looked at the Demon God Emperor with pity: "If he escapes, he will not be the Demon God Emperor." ”

Standing in a hostile position, and even hating him to the bone, but no one has to admit that he is amazingly talented, peerless, ambitious, and arrogant, all of the above words are not enough to describe the Demon God Emperor Carter. Such a person, there has never been such a person in the past history, and there will be no more in the future.

Following Di Lin, Sterling, Shikawa Xiu, and Minghui also took off their hats and bowed to the corpse of the Demon God Emperor.

Imbued with the melancholy of a poet and the ambition of an imperial emperor, the Demon God Emperor is proud, majestic, powerful and yet most vulnerable. He could not afford any defeat or setback, and although he was the most powerful warrior and emperor, he was essentially just a proud young man with a childish spirit.

"Demon God Emperor?"

"Kill yourself."

Someone crossed out the name of "Carter" with a red pen on a piece of paper. "Ling Buxu?"

"Dead in battle."

So the name of the southwest general was also marked with a red X. "Peima?"

"Captured."

"Yerma?"

"Captured."

"Leo?"

"Dead in battle."

"Yun Qianxue?"

"Escape."

"Karan?"

"Escape."

The red x was drawn on the left paper, and the leaders of the Senea clan were named one by one, but at the last name, Minghui stopped his hand and hesitated: "Caton? ”

Di Lin said directly: "This person is not a problem. ”

Sterling was puzzled: "Why?" It is said that there are 300,000 troops under the Caton Devil, and it should be our greatest opponent. ”

"Caton has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, but no matter the size, talent and courage. He was far from the Demon God Emperor who had died. This man is a man of great ambition and talent, and although he is strong for a while, he is not enough to be our opponent. ”

Picking up the list full of x, Di Lin glanced at it and said, "There is one more person missing, he is our real threat, compared to him, Caton is not even a free child." ”

Stirling raised his head in surprise: "All the names of all the nobles above the captain level of the Senea clan are listed on it, who else are we missing?" ”

"He's not a nobleman, but he's more dangerous than any nobleman in Senea!"

"Who?"

"Black Sand Division."

"Ahh Sterling pointed to his forehead: "Really! How did I leave him out? He didn't seem to have been out of the battle at the time of the battle! ”

"Black Sand Division? Who is he? Minghui asked. He has been in the west and has not fought much with the demons. I don't know much about the upper echelons of the demon race.

"How so?" Stirling pondered his words: "Let's describe it this way, if the Demon God Emperor is the soul of the Demon Kingdom, then the Black Sand Military Master is the brain of the Kingdom!" ”

"The brain of the Demon Kingdom, that's a good thing!" Di Lin smiled. His expression immediately turned serious: "The character of the Black Sand Military Division, even in the Demon Clan, is a mysterious outlier. I've interrogated Yerma, and the results are astonishing: among the top decision-makers in the kingdom, the influence of the Black Sand Army Division is much greater than we estimated, and his power is terrifying: he can decide the appointment of the commander of the legion, directly mobilize any demon army except the Guards Brigade and the Yulin Army, decide the life and death of the generals in a word, and even determine the successor of the Demon Crown Prince!

"From the beginning of the Far East War in 780 to the breaking of the Valun Pass by the Earth Demon Clan in 784, he was behind all the major military victories of the Demon Clan, and he planned everything. The Demon God Emperor obeyed him, and the generals didn't dare to pant loudly in front of him, they were afraid that he would be like fire! In the Demon Imperial Court, his prestige was second only to that of the Demon God Emperor - such a figure could not be compared to Caton. We should be glad that it was Caton and not him who commanded the 300,000 demon army. ”

Sterling couldn't help nodding in agreement, in 780, he had personally suffered from the Black Sand Army Division, 1.36 million demon army large-scale attack on the Far East, there was no leak of the news in advance, the various legions of the demon clan were killed with thunder, and the 640,000 Far East Zichuan Army couldn't even resist a little, and the whole line collapsed in three days - such a careful planning, an unprecedented detour and outflanking combat method, each unit had a clear goal and acted quickly, This is too far from the usual simple, direct and rude way of fighting the demons, and this big battle obviously has traces of the Black Sand Army's behind-the-scenes operations.

Sterling felt that the temple monster had lost its previous precision and sharpness since the demons broke through the Valen Pass and entered the human world. In the Battle of Oss, each legion fought separately and did not cooperate with each other, and then the commanders of the Imperial Metropolis made low-level mistakes, the army was a little chaotic, and then the Demon Fire gave up the Imperial Capital and chose to attack the northwest,β€”β€” so easily changing the combat objectives showed the lack and confusion of the Demon Clan at the strategic level, and they lacked clear long-term guidance and goals.

Di Lin explained his doubts to Stirling: "Yerma has recruited, since the Demon Army entered the customs, the Black Sand Military Division has not appeared in the Demon Court again - the Demon Race has lost its brain. ”

"I see!" Stirling was stunned, and he asked, "What is the reason?" Could it be that the Senean royal family has broken with the Black Sand Army? ”

"That's not what we know. Although Yerma is a high-ranking officer, all information related to the Black Sand Division is top secret and can only be held by the royal family. ”

Although there was a lot of interest in the relationship between the Black Sand Army Division and the Senean royal family, it was not the main topic of the meeting after all. Heisha is powerful, but he has no soldiers in his hands, although he is described as "not enough trouble" by Di Lin, but the biggest enemy of the current Zichuan family is still Caton and the 300,000 demon army led by him, for the tired Zichuan army, this group of arrogant soldiers will be an enemy that should not be underestimated.

The meeting didn't go smoothly - it wasn't because Caton was so strong that it was tricky for the leaders of the Zichuan family, everyone even cleaned up the Demon God Emperor, and no matter how strong Caton was, he couldn't be stronger than his Lao Tzu - what bothered everyone was something else, a problem that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

Commander Minghui was making a report: "When the Northwest Army arrived at the battlefield at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, I intended to go into battle immediately. However, His Highness said that the troops had not yet finished recuperating and did not enter the battle until three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Six hours." Di Lin said: "The wind and frost delayed for six hours! Was this a necessary recuperation, or was she deliberately delaying? What do you think, Lord Minghui? ”

Minghui: "The rapid march of nearly 100 miles day and night, to say that the troops need to rest and regain their summer combat strength, this is also reasonable. ”

Sterling said coldly: "But it depends on when." ”

Remembering the fierceness of yesterday's battle, he still has a lingering heart. The army suffered casualties, knowing that as long as one more division was added, it would be possible to break through Yun Qianxue's defensive line, but at that time, it was true that even a full squadron could not be found. He himself personally went to the front line to gather and harass those disabled troops, and led thousands of wounded soldiers to form a death squad to charge four times, and even as the commander of the army, he was covered in blood, and the misery of the Far Eastern Army, not to mention, Zichuan Xiu couldn't even shed tears - when the left repeatedly saw each other, a cavalry brigade could decide the situation of the entire battlefield.

At this moment, Liufengshuang held a full army of 250,000 and hid in the woods, watching the Southeast Army, the Far Eastern Army and the demons fight the corpses without help, until they saw that the demons and the Zichuan army had weakened to the extreme, and the blood loss was so bad that they could no longer flow out, and then Liufengshuang took her invincible army to the battlefield.

"Before the battle of Zuobadan, the Demon God Emperor was the public enemy of the mainland, and Flowing Wind and Frost had to join forces with us to defend against him, but as soon as the Demon God Emperor died, a broken Demon Kingdom was no longer enough to threaten the safety of the Flowing Wind family, in this case, His Royal Highness the Flowing Wind attitude was already likely to be ambiguous."

"Unwarranted suspicion that my ally is not a gentleman's doing, especially since this ally has just done us a great favor, fortunately my Di Lin is not a gentleman. I've always been used to being wicked. I can't help but admit this fact, now, it is in the interests of the Flowing Wind family to join forces with the demons, although the Flowing Wind and Frost may not be as despicable as Ma Wei, but we have to plan for the worst, anyway, I am not afraid to consider people from the worst perspective. Ladies and gentlemen, if you were Your Highness the Flowing Wind, what would you do? ”

Everyone silently pondered, if they were a bad weather, what should they do in this situation?

The two do not help each other to maintain neutrality is relatively conscientious, the most beneficial to the Liufeng family, Liufeng Shuang simply joined forces with the demons, when the Zichuan army and Caton fought, she slammed the Zichuan army from behind, when the main force of the Zichuan army collapsed, she could leisurely sweep the territory of the Zichuan family west of the Langrong River, and include the blue city in the northwest until Danya in the southwest into the territory of the Liufeng family.

Sterling snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and nodded, "Lord Dilin, I agree with you. In this Great Patriotic War, Her Highness Stormy Frost helped us a lot, and we are all grateful to her. But we can't help but be vigilant. β€β€œ

Minghui hesitated, among the leaders here, he was the person most closely related to Liufeng Shuang. When resisting the demon attack on the northwest, the Northwest Zichuan Army and the Flowing Wind Army fought side by side, fought bloodily, and marched together. In the fierce battle of life and death, the officers and men of the two armies ate in the same pot and slept in the same tent, regardless of you and me, and were as close as brothers.

Minghui gets along with Liufeng Shuang day and night, he really feels that Liufeng Shuang is a bright and upright person, and her bright smile is as crystal clear. This is a strange woman, she was born to grow in the sun, such a character should be insulated from any intrigues.

Seeing Minghui's depressed appearance, Di Lin said softly: "Lord Minghui, don't forget your position. After all, you are the leader of the Zichuan family. ”

Minghui shuddered, his hand was burned by the cigarette on his finger, of course he understood the implicit meaning of Di Lin's words, sitting in front of him on the left was the chief inspector general who was responsible for monitoring the loyalty of the family's civil and military officials.

"The two adults have a point," Minghui said in a low voice, "Flowing Wind and Frost is indeed a little wrong, as can be seen from her delay in refusing to enter the battlefield. ”

At the meeting, an operational plan was agreed: Sterling led the Southeast Army and Zichuan Xiu led the Far Eastern Army to pursue the victory, looking for the decisive battle of the main force of Prince Caton, and Lin Bingfeng's Third Army in the Far East and the newly organized infantry divisions to serve as the flank offensive. And Di Lin and Minghui's department are the support troops of the second echelon - the commanders are very happy, and the so-called second echelon is specifically aimed at Liufeng Frost to prevent her sneak attack.

At this time, Minghui realized that something was wrong, and he wondered: "Why didn't Lord Zichuan Xiu attend this meeting?" He is also the commander. ”

Di Lin glanced at him: "I didn't inform him - he is not available now. ”

Dilling didn't give any explanation. Looking at the cold face of the Chief Inspector, Minghui swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to ask any more.
