Episode 27 Chapter 6
On October 23, 785, the main force of the coalition army reached the outskirts of Vogrozbia.
The march of the Emperor of Light was at its peak. In the distance, you can see colorful battle flags, fluttering and floating in the sun, like flowers blooming in the wind. The sun shone brightly, shining with the bright armor of the knights, and the bright armor was endless. The whole road is like a giant python with colorful scales and armor, showing its power in the scorching sun.
Far away, the city could hear the rumbling of the earth-shattering drums, and hundreds of orc drummers beat the giant drums: "Knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock!" In response to the rousing drums, a black phalanx of orc infantry appeared.
In the treasury of the Demon God Castle, Zichuan Xiu seized tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, which can be described as a huge harvest. But his biggest gain is not gold and silver, the demons have fought countless battles with humans for hundreds of years, and the captured weapons and equipment are piled up. Many armors were too short and thin for the demon soldiers to wear, so they were handed over to the arsenal of the Divine Castle as proof of their achievements, and now they are all cheaper Zichuan Xiu.
Each set of armor weighed twenty-five kilograms, which would have been the standard equipment of the ironclad cavalry, but for the strong orcs, weight was not an issue. Overnight, more than 100,000 Far Eastern troops changed their outfits, from simple infantry to fully armored heavy infantry. The soldiers were all in armor, their bodies and limbs were covered by dense pieces of fish scales, they wore black peaked steel helmets with visors covering their faces, throat guards with the symbol of the Far Eastern Eagle around their necks, and iron armor with crotch, knee and ankle pads on their legs.
Now, in front of the defenders, there was such an unprecedented army of heavy infantry on the continent, and its magnificent military appearance could make any emperor proud to have such soldiers and horses.
It was as if black clouds were flying from the sky, and the black armor was endless. The spear stabs of the forest point directly at the blue sky. One black battle flag after another fluttered and swayed above their heads. Tens of thousands of soldiers walked as neatly as a person, countless steel footsteps were raised and stepped on at the same time, and the sound of stepping on the ground was like an earthquake roaring: "boom, boom, boom, boom......" Every time you take a step forward, the earth will tremble slightly. Under the heavy footsteps of the ironclad soldiers, the earth groaned and sank incessantly.
The phalanx of the half-orcs was as neat as a black copper wall, black and oppressive, exuding a solemn murderous aura and coercion. The black phalanx came and went, column after column, until it covered the sky and the earth as far as the eye could see. Seeing that the phalanx of the front team was already approaching the city, new black shadows were constantly appearing on the horizon.
Seeing that the Far Eastern Army was so powerful. Agomi, who was watching from the top of the city, turned pale. Although he was arrogant, he was also an expert in knowing soldiers. Back then, even in the heyday of the Demon God Emperor Carter, the armored beast legion was only 50,000. And the ironclad heavy soldiers in front of him have exceeded 100,000 people!
Following behind the ironclad infantry of the Far East, like the wind sweeping yellow sand, a large group of cavalry swept over the sky. The cavalry had a harsh expression and were lean and fierce. They wear square, light armor that protects the pleura and limbs. Wearing a black cloak, when the horse gallops. The broad cloak fluttered in the wind, like the wings of a giant eagle, to sweep away all the enemies. The cavalrymen, all with bows and arrows and quivers, and steel sabers tied around their waists, kept the queue undisturbed despite the rapid gallop, one after the other, and above them, a large banner with the word "Xiu" hunted and waved in the wind.
After the First Battle of Bataan, the Xiuzi battalion shook the armored beast army head-on, and its prestige shook the entire continent. All ethnic groups know that there is an elite cavalry unit hidden under the command of Zichuan Xiu, the commander of the Far East, who uses the word "Xiu" as their banner. He is not only proficient in martial arts, but also knows the essentials of battlefield fighting, strong-willed, as iron as steel, strong and incomparable, always appears in the most critical places, fast as the wind, breaking the enemy and cutting the flag, such as entering no one. Now that this legendary army has appeared under the city, Yagomi's heart is heavy.
After the soldiers and horses in the Far East, there were the armies of the demon clan that followed Zichuan Xiu. They come from all corners of the kingdom. The warriors of the Goang, Thunder, Gang, Tatar, Tu, and Demon Clans all put on their most powerful robes and marched forward with their heads held high. Colorful banners fluttered over their heads, painted with various patterns: axes, black sheep, flying eagles, bull horns, tigers, swords......
Of course, Yagomi understood the meaning of those patterns, each banner represented a tribe that could fight well, and half of the kingdom tribes had already submitted to Shikawa Xiu - no, it should be said, they had submitted to the newly born Demon God Emperor and obeyed the unified kingdom power!
The tribal legion winds for dozens of miles, and in the middle of the fluttering flags, a golden lion flag is particularly eye-catching, although in the queue, this flag is not at the forefront, and its team is not particularly large, but when they saw this flag appear in Zichuan Xiu's team, the demon officers and soldiers present - whether it was the Yakun soldiers at the head of the city or the officers and soldiers of various tribes - had a very complicated feeling.
They will not know that they are witnessing the death of a great era. Their simple minds can't understand this kind of thinking, and they can't say it. They just felt that their hearts were very panicked, their noses were indescribably sour, their eyes were hot, and tears were flowing down their fluffy cheeks, and they couldn't wipe them clean with their dirty hands.
The vanguard of the army arrived at the city gate, and the sound of the earth-shattering drum was mixed with the sonorous sound of iron armor, the neighing of war horses, the shouting of officers, and the loud sound of military trumpets, countless noises were mixed together, and in the noisy human voices, suddenly, a demon cavalry with black armor came out of the vanguard team, and his sharp shout overwhelmed all the noises: "Your Majesty is coming!" Why hasn't the Yakun patriarch come out yet!? Long live Semuhelim, my emperor! β
The forward cavalry all shouted: "Long live my emperor, Semuhelim!" The patriarch of the Yakun tribe immediately knelt down to greet the royal driver! β
"Semuhelim!!" The first 10,000-strong iron party formation began to shout, and immediately after, the cheers rose higher and higher.
"Semuherin !!" The 100,000-strong phalanx shouted in unison, the 100,000-and-a-half orcs raised their bayonets and broadswords in their hands and brandished them, their thick arms wrapped in black iron armor, the weapons in their hands scorched and shiny in the scorching sun, the sea-like weapons and armor danced, and the 100,000 thick throats shouted hoarsely: "Semuhelim!" Long live our emperor! The cry spread far away. The mountains that could shake the distance sent back a burst of echoes: "Sai ~ Mu ~ Hei ~ Lin!" β
"Sai ~ Mu ~ Hei ~ Lin ~" The Xiuzi Battalion Corps was shouting. 20,000 sabers are pointing to the sky.
"Sai~Mu~Hei~Lin~" The 30,000 Thunder Clan warriors were shouting loudly, and Duke Thunder Leopard stood in front of the formation, his face was red and his ears were red, and his face turned blue with a roar.
"Sai~Mu~Hei~Lin~" Lu Ditong took the Senean soldiers and roared hoarsely.
"Sai~Mu~Hei~Lin~" The chief of the Goang clan. Elder Gwyn clenched his fists and swung them in the air. Flushed. Behind him were 60,000 elite soldiers and horses from the Goang tribe.
"Sai ~ Mu ~ Hei ~ Lin ~ " Gang Clan, Tatar Clan, Winter Clan, Tu Clan. The heads of the clans and the warriors shouted in unison, intoxicated and intoxicated. In the roar, they seemed to return to the proud and bloody era in their memories, the gorgeous era when the kingdom was as strong as a lion. Then. And they sang the praises of their emperor and their god with such a roar. Now, a new emperor has been born, and that is a holy emperor who is as great as the previous emperor. He will lead the entire Protoss back to glory!
The whole army joined the call sign, 300,000 tigers and leopards, 300,000 sabers! It was the strongest combination of iron and blood. It was a world of violence and men, and there was a maddening power rippling in that earth-shattering roar. As if intoxicated by magic, the soldiers were so mad that there was only one thought left in their hearts: "Roar! Keep roaring! Whether it is orcs, humans or demons, they all let go of their throats and roared out the words with the strongest breath in their chests and abdomen: "Sai ~ Mu ~ Hei ~ Lin ~" should be with the same rhythm and beat, 300,000 strong men shouted in unison, the sound of wild shouts was better than a wave, rushing towards the city like a torrent and tsunami, its momentum was terrifying, the shock of the prestige, as if it shook the heavens and the earth.
Under the impact of the violent sound, the defenders of the city felt like a leaf in a storm, and they were so shaken by the sound that they could not stand steadily, and the soldiers threw away their weapons, clutched their ears and fell to the ground.
In the command of the city, an officer ran to Yagomi with a pale face and reported loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the enemy's envoy has just sent a message. The Emperor of Light has ordered, if we don't go out of the city to surrender, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city! This is the ultimatum of the Emperor of Light, please take a look at it, sir! β
Looking at the black-armored infantry like the sea under the city, the shouts like a landslide and tsunami, the patriarchs and elders of the Yakun clan all changed color. After picking up the ultimatum and looking at it twice, Agomi threw it to the ground in anger.
"Sir!" An elder shouted in a trembling voice, "The new emperor's soldiers are amazing, and our clan is powerless to resist. For the sake of the whole people, please make a decision early! β
"Decided?" Agomi looked at the other three elders, only to see the same pale and frightened faces.
"Sir, you don't have the right to risk the lives of your entire clan!"
"The new emperor ascends the throne at the right time! Patriarch, please clean up the mess as soon as possible, it's too late! β
"The victorious army of the new emperor, the soldiers are sharp, and the momentum is like a tiger, and its momentum is definitely not something that our clan can compete with! You have made a great mistake by rashly provoking, and it is still too late to repent! β
In the earth-shattering sound, Yagomi's face was as white as paper, he laughed miserably, dropped the long sword in his hand with a bang, his face turned pale, and whispered: "Whatever you want!" β
Looking at their patriarch with pity, the elders were relieved. Then they scrambled and shouted, "Our people are willing to surrender!" Open the gates of the city to welcome His Majesty's army! β
He had been exposed to the sun for a whole day, and the blazing sun had scorched his skin, and his clothes were wet and dry, dry and wet, and he was dizzy, his lips were chapped, and his thirst was like a torch in his throat.
A horn sounded by the gate of the camp, and the demon sentinels on duty were changing shifts. Seeing the officer come out with a team of soldiers to inspect, Yagomi shouted: "Master Jun, please report on your behalf: Weichen Yagomi requests to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Light!" The Yakun people are willing to submit to Your Majesty, and they only want to see Your Majesty! "The voice was hoarse and chapped, barely like a human voice.
The sight of his tanned face, chapped lips, and trembling body gave the officer compassion in his eyes.
"Lord Yagomi, we are only the officers on duty guarding the camp gate, and we have no right to meet Your Majesty."
Yagomi was silent. He waited a full day under the scorching sun, and had asked for an audience several times, but had never received a response. Yagomi wanted to leave, but he didn't: the orc army had already entered the city. Took over the defense of the city. The lives of more than 200,000 people in Fogrozbia were all decided by Zichuan Xiu's words.
Thinking of the cruel methods used by the Demon God Emperors to deal with rebellion, Yagomi was so frightened that even his soul trembled. In contrast, the physical pain caused by exhaustion and thirst is not worth mentioning at all.
Yagomi was puzzled: at what point did that human rebel Shikawa Shu become so powerful? The Yakun tribe is also one of the best clans in the kingdom, but they are so vulnerable in front of him? Unconsciously, has the gap between his strength and him become so huge?
The sun went down, the sky became dark, and the guards around him changed their guards a few times, but he still refused to leave, and the setting sun dragged his lonely shadow for a long time.
"Patriarch of the Yakun tribe!"
Finally hearing someone call for herself, Yagomi looked up in surprise. Saw Gwyn.
The Goang and Yakun have always had a long tradition of friendship, and during the time of Gota Khan, the high-ranking officers of the two clans often gathered, and Gowyn and Yagomi were also common acquaintances. Seeing Gwyn, like a drowned man grasping at a straw, Yagomi shouted hoarsely, "Elder Gwyn! β
Gwyn stood in front of him, staring at him with a strange look. As if he didn't know him, he looked very strange.
The two looked at each other silently for a while before Gowen spoke: "Patriarch of the Yakun clan, Your Majesty has announced your visit, come with me." β
Moving with stiff steps, Yagomi followed Gwyn into the camp.
The army camp was set up in the woods outside the city, and among the dense woods, gray tents rose from the ground and stretched far out. On the passage in the forest, teams of orc soldiers in iron armor patrolled, looking at the thick muscles and strong physique of the soldiers, Yagomi showed envious eyes.
"Sir!"
Around the corner between the tents, Gowyn suddenly slowed down, and Yagomi nearly bumped into him.
Gwyn whispered: "Sir, your Majesty is very angry that you refused Your Majesty and beat Your Majesty's envoy. β
Yagomi hurriedly said, "Elder, the two clans of Goang and Yakun have been friends for generations, so please wait a lot." β
"I tried my best, but I don't know if it helps."
The main camp soon arrived, a huge tent surrounded by a golden tarpaulin, a dazzling gold that showed the world the pre-eminence of its master. Above the tent, golden eagle flags fluttered in the hunt.
"Golden Eagle Banner?" Yagomi blinked and muttered quietly, "It's nondescript." "The symbol of the Zichuan family is the black flying eagle flag, and the symbol of the demon kingdom is the golden lion flag. Now, the former head of the family, Shikawa Xiu, has become the emperor of the kingdom, and his emblem has turned into the golden flying eagle flag, which is a compromise that Yagomi is very unaccustomed to.
"Sir, be careful with your words. Your Majesty's glory is sacred and undefiled! β
Yagomi babbled. He thought of the human officer who was covered in blood and killed his way out of the encirclement, his pale face was still in front of him, and now, he had become the "Holy Supreme" Emperor His Majesty?
Great Demon God, what kind of joke did you make to the Protoss!
Outside the tent, two orc officers searched Agomi's body, and then they waved for him to let him go.
Stepping on the bright red carpet, Yagomi entered the hall of the tent.
It was dark, and the large tent was lit with torches, which was quite bright. In the most conspicuous position in the center, the Demon God Emperor in military uniform sat on a bright yellow throne. Around him, like stars and moons, stood the kings and generals of the kingdom. There, Yagomi recognized Kadan of the Senea tribe, Thunder Leopard of the Thunder Clan, Gangwa of the Gang Clan, and many other chiefs.
All the courtiers around Zi Chuanxiu were dressed in traditional court clothes, they wore dark velvet dresses, wide purple robes on their upper bodies, shining medals inlaid on their chests, and walking sticks inlaid with dense diamonds and precious stones in their hands.
But what was striking was that Zichuan Xiu, who was surrounded by their stars and moons, was only wearing a dark blue officer's uniform, a diamond gold star epaulette scorching on his shoulder, a collar with laurel leaves on his collar, and a golden Flying Eagle Medal hanging on his chest - this was clearly the standard attire of a Zichuan family leader!
Yagomi suddenly burst into anger: "How can this be reasonable, since he is the Demon God Emperor, this person should follow the traditions of the kingdom." It's time to wear the emperor's dragon robe! But he actually wore the military uniform of the Zichuan family to be the Demon God Emperor, which was a provocation and insult to the kingdom! It's unbearable, I'm going to ......" Before the words came out, he suddenly thought of his intention, and then looked around, the patriarchs looked like they were bowing their heads. Yagomi's anger suddenly disappeared without a trace. He suddenly understood a truth: in the face of absolutely powerful forces, no tradition or custom is powerless.
Shikawa Xiu didn't notice Agomi's entry, he was listening intently to Cardin next to him.
"Your Majesty, the origin of the Blood-Eyed Clan has to start from the age of mythology. According to the records of the gods, in the mythological era 3,000 years ago, the land was full of thorns, barren, and full of dead land, and everywhere roamed barbarians who ate people.
The Great Demon God created the ancestors of the Protoss. Let them be born in this land. He preached to them: 'This is your homeland, and here you will establish a kingdom of faith in God and guard this land until I return.' β
The ancestors of the Protoss obeyed the advice of the Great Demon God and were under the leadership of the defenders. They waged a terrible war against the barbarians. In those two hundred years. The battle of one million men alone broke out five times, and both sides used the super weapons of the ancient era, and the battle was very tragic, and the accounts of 'the heavens and the earth were overturned, the mountains were flattened, the flames melted for thousands of miles, the great earthquakes cracked, and the seas were evaporated' abound in the "Divine Codex". After two hundred years of bloody fighting, the barbarians were completely defeated. Dozens of terrifying monsters such as saber-toothed tigers, elephant soldiers, leopard people, and earth dragons have since become extinct. The remnants of the monsters fled into the sea of grass in the Eastern Great Wilderness, not daring to reappear.
Our Protoss won a great victory, and this war, which lasted for two hundred years, came to be known as ......"
Speaking of this, Cardin smiled and looked at the patriarchs.
This is the proudest war in the history of the Protoss, and it has long been passed down from generation to generation by the people of the Protoss, and it is a household name in the kingdom, and everyone knows about it.
Now, this beautiful woman tells the story of the war thousands of years ago in a tactful and crisp voice, and the generals are all leisurely fascinated by the demeanor of their ancestors. Listening to Cardin's questioning, Lei Leopard, Gangwa, Gwyn, and even Yagomi, who had just come in and was still nervous, everyone felt a warm fire burning in their chests, and a strong sense of pride filled their hearts.
Everyone replied in unison: "The founding war!" β
"Exactly!" Cardin stood solemnly and said, "The Great Demon God blessed our ancestors, causing them to sweep thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and create a great kingdom; The Great Demon God will also bless our descendants, may they always protect the fortune of the country! May the Great Demon God bless them and bless our descendants, so that all that we have lost can be regained by them! With hard work, perseverance and sacrifice, never lose heart, never despair, no matter how desperate the situation, we must remember that we are the people of the Great Demon God, and do not dishonor our ancestors! β
When Cardin said this, all the ministers were solemn, and everyone looked at the Demon God Emperor together, and the atmosphere was solemn.
The Demon God Emperor said lightly: "What Ka Danqing said is exact. Today, in the face of the same ferocious barbarians, we must not shrink back and shame the glorious deeds of our ancestors. β
The ministers responded in unison: "What my emperor said is exact! β
None of them were stupid, and of course they could hear that Cardin meant something else, but fortunately His Majesty was deliberately confused, interpreting this as Cardin's motivation to fight the barbarians heroically - well, this explanation is a bit bizarre, but it is not off topic.
"Your Majesty, the origin of the Blood-Eye Clan is closely related to the history of the kingdom, and the founding emperor of the kingdom is none other than Lin Xiaofeng of the Blood-Eye Clan."
"Oh?" Zi Chuanxiu was slightly surprised, many facts and clues were in front of him, subconsciously, he had already accepted this fact, that is, his bloodline was likely to have some kind of relationship with the Demon Imperial Family, but he didn't expect that the Human Family was so close, and his ancestors could be the founding emperor of the Demon Clan! β
"Your Majesty Lin Xiaofeng...... What is the identity? β
"According to records, Lin Xiaofeng was originally the 'Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Major General of the Southeast Defense Town Guard Mansion and the Commander of the Special Operations Corps', ranking thirteenth among the defenders. But in the Hundred Years War with the Barbarians, the defenders also paid a great price, and many high-ranking defenders died in battle. More than half of the more than 4,000 defenders of the founding country were killed. During the war, His Majesty Lin Xiaofeng gradually rose to become the leader of the Protoss and many defenders. After the victory of the war, the kingdom was established, and His Majesty Lin Xiaofeng became the first Emperor.
