Chapter 17: The Women's Army on Juhu Mountain
When the middle-aged god crossbow guard heard this, he also shouted angrily: "Stinky boy, you are not allowed to insult our general!"
Zhang Kuo looked at the yelling Uncle Divine Crossbow Guard, and said solemnly: "I've heard that two years ago, your 300,000 Divine Crossbow Guard army used to be stationed in Yuancheng, but one day, your general heard that the Red Eagle Empire's million-strong army was pressing the border, and he was so frightened that he quickly led you to withdraw from Yuancheng, right?"
When the middle-aged god crossbow guard heard this, he lowered his head slightly and was silent.
The other crossbow guards were silent.
Zhang Kuo continued: "You evacuated safely, but 200,000 civilians in Yuancheng were slaughtered! I only know that you joined the army to defend your family and country.
When Mi Tianrou heard this, she didn't refute it and was silent.
Because she knew about it, she could only be silent.
The middle-aged divine crossbow guard replied solemnly: "The general is not greedy for life and afraid of death, he only withdrew after receiving the emperor's order. The general also had to do this in order to preserve his strength. ”
Zhang Kuo said: "It is indeed difficult for you to have 300,000 against a million army, not to mention that the other party still has elite firearm troops and thousands of artillery pieces, as well as more than 400,000 elite 'magic technicians'. But it is not right for you to forsake the people. Your crossbow guards are not vegetarians, and if you resist desperately, you will definitely inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but your general chose to withdraw his troops......"
The middle-aged divine crossbow guard hurriedly looked up at Zhang Kuo, and said sharply: "Do you a yellow-haired boy know how to march and fight? If we desperately defend Yuancheng, we will only end up with the entire army being wiped out." There are no reinforcements near Yuancheng, and holding on to Yuancheng is simply a dream. The military strength of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Kingdom is all supported by our Divine Crossbow Guard, and if we are completely annihilated, the Red Eagle Empire, the rebel army, and other invading countries will recklessly invade our territory, and even threaten our capital capital. At that time, our Eastern Kingdom will be gone!"
Zhang Kuo said: "What I want to say is, why didn't you notify the people of Yuancheng to evacuate at that time?"
The middle-aged god crossbow guard said: "At that time, we only received an order from the military to evacuate, and we did not receive an order to evacuate the people. When we heard that 200,000 of our compatriots in Yuancheng had been slaughtered, we were also saddened. But we are soldiers, and we must obey military orders. It's not our general who you want to blame, but the current Dusk King and the gang of traitors around him!"
Zhang Kuo stopped talking.
Of course, he knew that the rule of the Eastern Kingdom was rotten, and there were very few patriotic generals now.
Originally, he also wanted to join the military so that he could serve the country.
However, when he heard that patriotic generals and upright civil servants were persecuted by the emperor and traitorous ministers, he felt chilled, and he dispelled his thoughts.
He had no choice but to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, living a life without fighting with the world.
At this moment, Tong Tian smiled and said: "Tianrou, don't forget one thing, you are also one of the 'Seven Sons Spiritual Heart'. Since your father wants the 'spiritual heart' in us, of course, it also includes you......"
Mi Tianrou immediately interrupted him and said, "I am willing to give my 'soul', as long as I can get my father's approval, I will die without regrets." Also, my father did not get the 'spiritual heart' to enrich himself, but to increase military spending and hire foreign mercenaries to defend his family and country. ”
Tong Tianxiao sneered and was silent.
When Zhang Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister Tianrou, you are also one of the 'Seven Sons Spiritual Heart'?"
Mi Tianrou replied, "That's right." ”
Zhang Kuo said: "So, you are also a 'magic technician'?"
Mi Tianrou replied: "That's right. ”
Zhang Kuo was puzzled, because the "magicians" could sense their companions and could recognize them at a glance.
However, he couldn't sense that Mi Tianrou in front of him was a "magician" at all.
Mi Tianrou said: "Xiao Kuo, you think it's very strange, right? I'll explain it in detail." In fact, in this world, there is a special group of people called 'hidden magicians', and my father and I are 'hidden magicians'. The 'Hidden Magician' is just like an ordinary person, and the authentic 'Magician' can't sense it at all. ”
When Zhang Kuo heard this, he was even more surprised.
This is the first time I've heard of this shocking truth.
Zhang Kuo asked again: "Since you are a 'hidden magician', you were fully capable of protecting yourself at the beginning. But why didn't you resist, and you were bullied by those bastards from the Red Eagle Empire......"
Mi Tianrou said: "My skills have no effect on ordinary people at all, how can I resist a woman in the face of a few ordinary strong men with human faces and beast hearts? I am not one of those fierce female soldiers of the Red Eagle Empire......"
Tong Tian smiled and said, "Xiao Kuo, in fact, her skills are the most terrifying for the 'Magician'. Didn't you realize that there was already a 'transparent barrier' around you?"
As soon as Zhang Kuo heard this, he noticed that there was indeed an enchantment around him!
Mi Tianrou said: "What you said is not comprehensive enough, in fact, what I have laid is not an ordinary enchantment, but a 'powerless transparent enchantment'. As long as the 'Magister' is in my enchantment, I can't use the 'Magician'. ”
Zhang Kuo frowned and said, "'Impotent Transparent Enchantment'?"
Mi Tianrou said: "Xiao Kuo, come over quickly, don't let the crossbow arrows shoot you." Tong Tianxiao is a traitor, I hope you don't go along with this kind of person. ”
Zhang Kuo glanced at Tong Tianxiao, then looked at Mi Tianrou, and asked, "Sister Tianrou, are you really planning to die?"
Mi Tianrou was silent for a while, her eyes were full of tears, and she said, "I said, if I can get my father's favor, I am willing to die." ”
Zhang Kuo looked at Mi Tianrou with pity and said, "But when you were ruined by those beasts, where was your father? Are you worth it for this kind of patriarchal father? Also, if your father has gathered seven 'spiritual hearts', do you dare to guarantee that he will really not be rich?"
Mi Tianrou was already in tears, and said slowly: "Zhang Kuo, I have always liked you as a brother, and now I suddenly feel that you have become very annoying!"
Zhang Kuo stopped talking and stared at Mi Tianrou.
Mi Tianrou turned around slowly, and said sharply: "Even this kid will be killed together!" After speaking, she raised her feet and walked behind the crossbow guards to stop.
When Zhang Kuo heard this, he looked at Mi Tianrou's back and was immediately stunned.
Mi Tianrou turned her back to this group of men, and she couldn't bear to watch how two familiar men died tragically.
Her left hand grasped the corner of her clothes tightly, and her body trembled with it, and tears welled up like a fountain of tears!
The middle-aged divine crossbow guard sneered a few times and said sharply: "Tong Tianxiao, you also have today! Traitor, suffer death! Shoot!"
Zhang Kuo suddenly shouted: "Don't think about it!"
As soon as the words fell, I suddenly saw him and Tong Tianxiao wrapped in a strange blue mist!
Seeing this, the crossbow guards were taken aback, and hurriedly fired their crossbow arrows in unison, "whoosh", and shot at the weird blue mist!
The blue mist was quickly blown away by the night wind, and when the crossbow guard took a look, he found that Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao were gone!
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhang Kuanlang say: "Sister Tianrou, I also have a special ability, that is, I can pass through the enchantment at will, goodbye!"
When Mi Tianrou heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, she quickly turned around to look behind, and looked up at the night sky, where did she still see the figures of Zhang Kuo and Tong Tianxiao?!
