Chapter 285 [Sunset]
"Looks like your friend is in big trouble!" Xiao Fan looked at it for a moment, then turned his head to look at Mu Feng with a solemn expression and said softly.
Mu Feng's brows tightened and he didn't say a word, feeling anxious in his heart, since Lu Dieyi repaired the tomb of his parents and arranged soldiers to be the mausoleum guards, this barren mountain is not big and does not need many soldiers at all, dozens of soldiers are enough to guard, and now what trouble is it encountering, even the soldiers guarding the tomb here have to be transferred to Yuecheng?
Mu Feng came to the edge of the barren mountain worriedly, and looked condescendingly at the moon city in front of him, at this moment the moon city is being rebuilt, from a ruin to the original site reconstruction, has begun to take shape, green bricks and green tiles, wooden pillars and stone steps abound.
Recalling that it has only been a month since Yuecheng was destroyed because of himself, he didn't expect that it would be able to be rebuilt to this scale, at this rate, it is estimated that it will be completed in two or three months, and at this moment, Mu Feng is quite amazed at Lu Dieyi's efficiency and ability.
Others don't know, Mu Feng knows a lot about Moon City, according to the royal family collection, Moon City was built for a full year, and hundreds of thousands of people built it day and night without interruption to have this scale, and Lu Dieyi not only cleaned up the ruins but also built a rough outline in just one month, this kind of construction efficiency is really amazing.
But it's not unreasonable to think about it, although the moon city was destroyed, it has been used as the national capital of the moon worship for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to move the capital, Lu Dieyi temporarily moved the capital to a small city not far away, but that small city does not have the conditions to become the national capital at all, and it is not an overnight thing to expand it into the imperial capital, both of which are time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is better to rebuild on the spot, and there are still many materials in the ruins that can be used locally.
Coupled with the fact that Lu Dieyi's Western Night Army and Moon Worship Army have a total of nearly one million people, it is naturally not surprising that there is such a rapid construction speed.
However, outside the Moon City at this moment, there are countless troops stationed in the black press, waiting for the battle, the flags are fluttering on the tall city walls, and the crowds are surging, which is the precursor to the coming of the big war, which makes Mu Feng feel surprised, Moon City is located in the center of the entire Moon Worship Empire, and Lu Dieyi needs to mobilize all the troops here, which is really difficult for Mu Feng to understand.
"I haven't heard of any war lately!" Mu Feng frowned, looked at Yuecheng in the distance with a solemn expression, and said puzzledly.
"I don't know about this, but looking at this posture, your friend is in big trouble!" Xiao Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head and replied.
Mu Feng felt anxious in his heart, and many possibilities appeared in his mind, but they were all ruled out by him one by one, if it was a war, how could so many troops be arranged in Moon City? Besides, so far, he hasn't heard that there is an empire around him that has sent troops to worship the moon, the only possibility is the Wind and Snow Empire, but they have just returned from the Wind and Snow Empire, and there is no sign of a large army transfer there.
"Why do you want to do so much? Let's go down and ask. Just when Mu Feng was puzzled, Xiao Fan helplessly patted his shoulder and whispered.
When the two of them walked down the barren mountain and into the woods, a large group of soldiers in heavy armor suddenly appeared on the official road in front of them, blocking the entire official road connecting Moon City.
At Xiao Fan's suggestion, Mu Feng followed him to a mountain forest close to the Moon City, this mountain forest is located in front of the Moon City Gate, which is the last commanding height leading to the Moon City, at this moment there are already a large number of archers stationed in the mountain forest, and the two of them quietly came from behind them behind them with the help of their soul energy to look at the shocking scene in front of them.
Sure enough, as Mu Feng said, at this moment, hundreds of thousands of soldiers had gathered in the open ground in front of Yuecheng, and the cavalry galloped between them to convey the order, rolling up the yellow sand and giving people a sense of suppressed tension before the big battle.
Directly in front of Yuecheng is a huge chariot built of wood inside, with iron shield barbs on the outside, about four or five zhang high, on the platform directly above the chariot, a young woman in gold armor and red robe is sitting on it, and beside her there are several cultivators wearing Dharma robes who look like fairy wind and bones, who is this person not Lu Dieyi?
"Woo~~" Just when Mu Feng was full of anxiety and wanted to go down to inquire about the matter, a low horn sound came from the neat moon worship army under the mountain.
There was a sudden crowd of people in the distance, and a large number of soldiers retreated one after another, but there were no expected enemy troops in the distance under the lookout, but only three people in magic robes were flying towards this place with their feet on Xuanyun.
After a rain of arrows, it didn't stop their progress at all, and it didn't take long for the three of them to fly through the layers of blockades, leaving the soldiers waiting below helpless, and the rain of arrows had no effect on them at all, and it was extremely difficult to hold them back.
The first of them, the person in a bright red delicate robe who stepped on the white clouds, had a rosary glowing with a faint golden light suspended in front of him, and the rosary formed a shield of light to block the rain of arrows flying towards them, and approached Lu Dieyi as if he were not looking.
"It's them!" When the three of them were getting closer and closer to this mountain, Mu Feng also saw clearly the three people in front of him who were stepping on Xuanyun and flying a hundred meters above the ground, and when he saw their faces clearly, Mu Feng also trembled suddenly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The three of them were a hundred meters away from the ground, and the ground was black and pressed countless sergeants, so they didn't have any way, when they approached the mountain forest where Mu Feng and Xiao Fan were, "whoosh", many archers lurking in the mountain forest immediately pulled their bows and released arrows, and another round of arrow rain poured down to cover the three of them.
"Hmph, if you insist on being our enemy, do you know the consequences?" Yin Feng's face was gloomy, and when he raised his hand, he shot out a huge fireball, directly engulfing hundreds of arrows above his head, and turning into ashes a few meters away from the three of them.
The rest of the arrows poured into the dense ranks of soldiers below, killing and wounding a large number of them, and the wails and screams resounded through the mountains and forests.
Under this round of arrow rain, the three of them were not only unscathed, but they accidentally injured hundreds of moon-worshipping soldiers, and for a while, many archers lurking in the mountains and forests below Mu Feng and Xiao Fan became a little flustered, hesitating whether to continue attacking.
When Yin Feng, Li Wushuang, and the incompetent three appeared directly in front of Mu Feng and Xiao Fan, the location of the two was only a few dozen meters away from them, maintaining a drop of about ten meters, and the condescending Mu Feng could clearly see the faces of the three people.
I saw Li Wushuang's face gloomy, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a treacherous and frivolous smile, while Yin Feng and Incompetent were frowning and looking worried, looking at Lu Dieyi in front of him, who had already stood up from the throne and looked directly at them.
"Don't worry, wait and see!" Just when Mu Feng was a little out of breath and was about to go out, Xiao Fan on the side hurriedly grabbed his hand and whispered to him.
"It's been a long time since you two have seen each other!" Lu Dieyi stood on the high chariot and looked at the three people who were twenty or thirty meters away from him, and said with a bitter smile.
"Miss Lu, we are just acting on orders." Impotence frowned, and after a moment of silence, he replied softly at her.
"Acting on orders?" Hearing the words of incompetence, Mu Feng was suddenly startled, turned his head to look at Xiao Fan beside him and said in astonishment.
"Looks like your friend is on that list!" Xiao Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said with a light smile.
"How is this possible? They are the children of the sect, how can they make a move against the empire? Mu Feng asked in shock, and at the same time, the situation in front of him at this moment seems to be understandable, it seems that it is not the foreign enemy who gathered heavy troops to defend in Moon City this time, but the incompetent three people in front of him!
Seeing Mu Feng so stunned, Xiao Fan smiled knowingly, touched the bridge of his nose, thought for a moment, and smiled, "Oh, there is something I haven't had time to tell you yet." ”
"What's the matter?" Mu Feng was anxious at the moment and asked urgently.
"The king of the Western Night has been slain by them." Xiao Fan smiled lightly.
"What?" As soon as Mu Feng exclaimed, Xiao Fan on the side hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hand, made a small gesture to him, and pointed to the three people floating in the air in front of him, signaling Mu Feng to continue looking.
Although Mu Feng still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to calm down and continue to watch the three people in front of him who were facing off against Lu Dieyi.
"To tell you the truth, Miss Lu is ranked very high in the list of the Guardian Order, and we originally had the intention to keep you to the end, but now the situation is different, we have to hurry, sorry." Yin Feng felt quite guilty in his heart, and said lightly towards Lu Dieyi.
"Are you planning to kill me?" Lu Dieyi's eyes converged, her expression became a little solemn, and she asked in a deep voice.
Incompetent and Yin Feng looked at each other, their brows were furrowed and silent, but the two of them had already explained the purpose of their trip, but Li Wushuang on the side was unimpressed by this, floating in front of the two of them indifferently, looking down at Lu Dieyi with arrogant eyes.
"Slaughtering living beings, disregarding human lives, disregarding the lives of others for their own selfishness, just grab those who are interested, don't affect these innocent people."
Li Wushuang looked at Lu Dieyi coldly, and then said to her in a cold voice.
"Damn! Damn it! If he dares to attack Lu Dieyi, I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives! Mu Feng, who was hiding behind the rock, heard Li Wushuang's such despicable words, his face was bruised, and his hands actually left several claw marks on the rock in front of him, if it weren't for Xiao Fan to keep him calm, I was afraid that he would have rushed out and stood in front of Lu Dieyi.
"You think so too?" Lu Dieyi didn't seem to care about Li Wushuang's accusation, but instead smiled contemptuously and turned to look at Incompetent and Yin Feng and asked.
Incompetent pondered for a long time but never knew how to answer, turned his head to look at Yin Feng on the side, only to see that he was the same, and the two looked at Lu Dieyi with complicated expressions and didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry, he gave me this country, even if he is no longer here, I will protect him, so I can't die yet."
Seeing this, Lu Dieyi smiled bitterly and shook her head gently at the two and said.
Hearing Lu Dieyi's words, Mu Feng's eyes gradually reddened, and Xiao Fan, who was half-squatting beside him, saw this, but a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Now it's time for you to make a choice."
"Choose?" Mu Feng felt a sour feeling in his heart, and smiled bitterly as he looked at the two sides of the arrows.
On one side is the incompetence and Yin Feng who are like brothers and sisters with him, and on the other side is Lu Dieyi, a strong woman who has a lot to do with herself, if the two sides really start to act, who should they help?
"No matter how difficult the choice is, you have to make a painful decision, and now that they haven't made a move, you should think about it." Xiao Fan smiled slightly, looked at Mu Feng sincerely, and said.
"Don't worry, we will also protect him here, but the teacher's order is difficult to disobey, Miss Lu still hopes that you don't hate us." After listening to Lu Dieyi's words, Wu Neng nodded lightly and replied with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then I won't embarrass you. Do it! Lu Dieyi smiled indifferently, but there was no fear in her eyes, her hands were raised lightly, and she stood on her left and right twice, and the famous cultivators stepped forward one after another to block in front of her.
Although it can be seen from the worried and panicked eyes of these cultivators that they are all afraid of the three people in front of them, but as the so-called food monarch bears the worries of the monarch, at this point, they have the dignity that a cultivator should have, which makes the little fan beside Mu Feng praise him.
Mu Feng didn't feel anything other than this, Lu Dieyi managed the army well, and the people who could stand on her side must be loyal, even if they faced an enemy stronger than themselves, they would not hesitate to stand up and fight.
"Don't blame me for being stubborn!" Li Wushuang let out an angry shout, and at that moment he couldn't bear it anymore, and with a wave of a flaming long sword in one hand, he appeared in his hand, and jumped down and rushed towards Lu Dieyi and the few cultivators who were blocking her.
The incompetence and Yin Feng who were standing behind him frowned and looked to the side, no longer looking at Lu Dieyi, it was extremely difficult for them to ask them to kill Lu Dieyi with their own hands, and Li Wushuang and Lu Dieyi had nothing to do with each other, and this matter was only suitable for him to do, even so, it was still difficult for the hearts of the two to calm down, and they couldn't do anything while their friends were in danger, this feeling was something they had never experienced, and it was a kind of torment for both of them.
Just when Mu Feng wanted to help Lu Dieyi, Xiao Fan pressed him behind the rock, "If you go out now, it will be equivalent to telling everyone that you are still alive." Listen to my advice and endure the calm for a while. ”
As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, he pointed lightly in the distance, Mu Feng looked in the direction of his finger, and between the several green mountains and green forests in the distance, a large number of strangely dressed cultivators appeared, Mu Feng frowned, his eyes were full of restlessness, and he viciously slapped a small rock in front of him to pieces.
