Chapter 32: The Battle of the Dynasty (3) The Great War Begins
"The sky is dim, the sunrise is weak, the snake star vein is weak, and it seems that there is a fierce battle." The dog-headed military advisor in the royal city looked solemn, stood on the divination platform of the mansion with a staff in hand, looked at the sky and the stars, and muttered to himself.
It's already two o'clock in the morning, can you start preparing for the sacrificial ceremony?" a soldier behind him came to his knees and saluted.
The dog-headed military advisor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked at the huge Huang Tianjun Kingdom, closed his eyes and said, "You can start going down."
On the other side, more than 5,000 soldiers in the Tibetan Soldier Valley had high morale, all of them wore the armor of the former dynasty, held high the banner of "Jianyuan", and were ready to go.
On the drum platform, Xiao Lingxi was wearing lapis and gold glass armor, wearing a silver armor helmet, an epic-level magic weapon hanging from his waist, a founding jade pendant, and a cloak with the word Huang Tian.
Ah Le and Wu Yueling stood behind, and General Xu Yang, the commander of the three armies in this operation, personally and sincerely invited Wu Yueling to help protect the safety of the princess, and promised to give a generous reward after the matter was completed.
Of course, Wu Yueling readily agreed, but Xu Yang didn't know that in the Monument Realm, he had already privately agreed to help Xiao Lingxi.
"Your Royal Highness, the three armies have been rectified, and the generals of each department have also led their own detachments according to your deployment, waiting for your order!" General Xu Yang said on one kneeling and saluting.
After hearing this, Xiao Lingxi looked at the sky that was already white, turned around and asked solemnly: How long is it until Xiao Xie holds a national ceremony.
"Back to the Imperial Daughter, according to the report of the eyeliner we planted in the city, at two o'clock in the hour, they have already begun to prepare in the imperial city, and there are still two hours to go." Xu Yang said as he took out the spies' letter from the space ring and handed it over.
Xiao Lingxi opened the letter and said with a serious expression: Is it only two hours?
"Yes, the last general asked for the order to activate two large teleportation spirit arrays, and the army of generals will be sent out of Snake Mountain in turn." Xu Yang replied excitedly.
After hearing this, Xiao Lingxi frowned slightly, looked at the more than 5,000 soldiers in the audience, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, held the jade pendant on his waist tightly with his right hand, trembled slightly, pondered for a long time, turned around and said firmly: Start acting!
The officers and men of the various divisions were ordered to withdraw to both sides, leaving the middle area. Xu Yang spoke majestically to everyone in the audience, and then jumped directly from the drum platform and landed on the ground steadily.
When the more than 5,000 soldiers in the audience heard the news, they immediately spread out to both sides and vacated the middle area, only to see General Xu Yang take out the two large spatial teleportation arrays printed on the animal skin from the spatial ring and place them on the ground and unfolded.
"Are you going to start, a large teleportation spirit array that can teleport more than a thousand people at a time?" Wu Yueling stood on the stage and looked down, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously.
"On". I saw General Xu Yang shouting, his body began to run exercises, his hands became palms, and the majestic spiritual power at the dantian condensed from his palms, turned into substance, and were respectively entered into the spirit array rubbed in the animal skin.
I saw that the two spirit arrays placed on the ground gradually brightened under their urging, and the blue lines continued to spread and extend on the ground like spider webs, and finally turned into the form of a six-pointed star.
"This person is very good." Xuan Lao's appreciative transmission arrived.
"How can the master see it?" Wu Yueling stood on the stage and asked puzzled.
"Although the large-scale teleportation spirit array can transmit more than a thousand people at a time, it requires the spiritual power of the promoter himself, and the spiritual power requirements are extremely strict, and he can urge two large-scale spirit arrays at the same time without the help of external forces, and the strength is strong, at least in the late stage of the Xuanji Realm!" Xuan Lao transmitted.
"He is so powerful, he deserves to be the commander of the three armed forces!" Wu Yueling said with even more admiration after listening to his explanation.
The camera pans to the King City of Huangtian County
Xiao Xie was sitting on the golden dragon chair, leisurely eating the royal tribute called tequive, and his temperament was still as if nothing had happened in the cave in the morning.
"Someone came to summon the military division to the temple". Xiao Xie straightened up, put his hands on the armrests of the dragon chair, and said majestically.
After hearing this, the dog-headed military advisor who had been waiting outside the hall immediately walked in and bowed slightly: Your Majesty is here.
"How is the festival prepared?" Xiao Xie asked lazily, holding his head with his left hand and closing his eyes.
The dog-headed military master bowed his hand and said respectfully: "The personnel of all departments of His Majesty have been assigned in place, including 500 people from the Ministry of Rites, 300 priests, and 600 chanting monks.
"Stop, stop, stop!" I'm not asking about this, I'm talking about how the troops are deployed." Xiao Xie opened his eyes and said impatiently.
The dog-headed military advisor immediately reacted, only to see him come to the road, and said flatteringly in front of Xiao Xie's ear: Everything has been arranged according to your requirements, and we are waiting for those remnants of the former dynasty to enter the pit.
"Good, very good". Xiao Xie said with a wicked smile on his face.
On the other side, Xiao Lingxi's Xu Yang faction has led more than 5,000 soldiers in the Tibetan Soldier Valley to pass them down.
"Her Royal Highness is still an hour away from the sacrificial ceremony, let's start according to the original plan!" Xu Yang bowed.
After hearing this, Xiao Lingxi did not answer directly, but said loudly to the soldiers lined up in four phalanxes: How many soldiers does Xu Yang command?
"Her Royal Highness Hui has a total of more than 5,000 soldiers in the four squares." Xu Yang replied puzzled.
"What about the enemy?" asked Xiao Lingxi reluctantly.
"This, is there any problem with Her Royal Highness?" Xu Yang asked hesitantly.
Xiao Lingxi pulled out the sword at his waist and took it out, and said excitedly and loudly: The enemy may be 50,000 people, maybe 500,000 people, but it will definitely not be less than ours!
Maybe this time we will be annihilated by the enemy with a huge gap in strength, and there will be no place to bury the soldiers, are you afraid?
"Your Royal Highness, why are you doing this! Attacking morale before the war is a taboo for soldiers." Xu Yang said anxiously after hearing this.
"Why did Lingxi suddenly say this?" Wu Yueling said puzzled after hearing this.
The general's face behind him began to become heavy, and the soldiers were even more demoralized and whispered.
Today's sacrificial ceremony, Xiao Xie will definitely take away a large number of elites in the city, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to defend the city, this is our opportunity and certainty.
Today, we must fight for the faith and righteousness in our hearts and for those loved ones who were persecuted to death by the traitors ten years ago!" Xiao Lingxi said in a firm tone.
"What the princess said is right, there are not many soldiers, the world knows that after Xiao Xie took the throne, he spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to repair the palace, bowed to himself and enjoyed the institutions under him, and the atmosphere of corruption was very high, and the soldiers also lacked actual combat, and they were happy to think about it." General Zheng Yi touched his black hair and nodded.
"Thirty merits and fame are dusty, eight thousand miles of Lu Yun and Yue Wu are willing to fight to the death for the princess! General He Zhen, who was carrying the battle flag, also bowed his hand. ”
"Eradicate the rebel thief and die on the battlefield!" Veteran Luo Cheng couldn't help but yell.
"Eradicate the traitors and die on the battlefield!" The morale of more than 5,000 soldiers was rekindled, and they shouted in unison, as if they saw the hope of victory.
The generals marched according to the original plan! Xu Yang, who had reacted, raised his arms and shouted excitedly.
"I find that I don't know Lingxi anymore." Looking at the crowd who had been beaten like chicken blood, Wu Yueling muttered to himself in surprise.
The five-year sacrificial ceremony in the Huangtian County National City has finally begun!
According to the sacrifice in previous years, at this time, the people in the city, women and children should come to the streets one after another to watch the five-year sacrifice ceremony, but today the streets are empty, and the doors are closed and they dare not go out.
I saw that the sky above the royal city suddenly remembered the heavy drum sound, and every vibration made the ground tremble, and the once crowded county became dead and silent for a while.
The gate of the royal city slowly opened, only to see tens of thousands of soldiers with guns pouring out, followed by civil and military officials, Taoist priests, monks and other main members of the Ministry of Rites, and the sacrificial brigade came out of the royal city like a long dragon, slowly advancing towards the south gate.
While playing ancient music, the musicians in the ceremonial department followed the procession, attracting a little boy on the street to push the door out of a crack and peek.
I saw that the black and oppressive sacrificial brigade on the street all walked out of the royal city, and the six third-order sweat and blood horses in the center of the accompanying army pulled Xiao Xie's glorious throne, and the guards around it were about five hundred, and each of them had at least the cultivation of the middle stage of the Earth Extreme Realm.
"What do you want to do, fool! Yesterday, the court ordered that those who watched the sacrificial army go out of the city should be killed!" the boy was watching as his father pulled him back and said angrily.
Among Wang Shan, Xu Yang and Luo Cheng had already laid an ambush above the altar.
I saw that Xu Yang suddenly stood up and caught the messenger spirit talisman from the south from the south with his right hand to check: Xiao Xie's sacrificial army is marching towards Wang Mountain out of the south gate.
The generals will listen to the order, and no one is allowed to make the slightest sound without my orders! Xu Yang burned the spirit talisman to ashes between his fingers and said solemnly.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw the sacrificial army holding high the banner of "Yonggu" slowly marching from the south direction, blowing trumpets and drums all the way, and the silence was loud.
"Boss: "When they enter Wang Mountain, will we fight?" Veteran Luo Cheng lay on the ground and asked Xu Yang nervously.
"We must see with our own eyes that Xiao Xie Lao'er is really making a move, otherwise it will be a big difference between the enemy and me, we must assassinate Xiao Xie in the fastest time, and then rush to the city to support the royal daughter!" Xu Yang replied with a solemn expression.
"Boss, they have already entered Wang Mountain, do you want to do it!" Luo Cheng looked at the team at the foot of the mountain, took out the Xuantie spear, held it in the palm of his hand, and said.
The procession gradually came to the altar of the king, which was made of high stones, and the overall shape was like a pyramid, and in the center of it was a bottomless ancient well, which was extremely mysterious.
Around it, there are five high king flags, and in the center of a king flag is embroidered with the pattern of the black dragon, the dragon has nine heavenly thunders surrounding, proud of the sky, the majesty of the gods, although it is only a flag pattern, but its momentum is enough to make people solemn and awe!
Legend has it that the black dragon embroidered on the flag is a supreme emperor in the Middle Ages, and the dragon of Kyushu is honored!
I saw that under the altar, the officials of the Ministry of Rites lined up in two rows, playing the horns and beating the war drums, the sound was huge, and the birds and finches in the surrounding trees were all alarmed and flew out.
At that time, I saw a group of strong men with their upper bodies bare, and moved the cattle and sheep and beasts tied in advance to the big well in the center of the altar, and at this time, the five hundred monks in the audience began to recite the ancient Buddhist scriptures, and the accompanying officials were even more respectfully kneeling on the ground, as if pilgrimage.
Dozens of strong men on the altar took out machetes one after another, beheaded the brute beast, and let its blood flow into the mysterious ancient well, and then saw ten magicians dancing strangely around the ancient well.
Such a grand sacrificial ceremony made the originally clear sky gloomy, only to see the black clouds in the air in a whirlpool, and the distribution was extremely mysterious.
"The emperor has arrived!" I saw an old man in the imperial court, and the people under the altar shouted, and behind that, five hundred guards from the Extreme Realm surrounded Xiao Xie's throne and slowly marched, and the officials and monks stood up and retreated to both sides, kneeling down to make way in the middle.
Xu Yang took out the Qinghui Sword, held his breath and said nervously.
Luo Cheng's eyes next to him were even more wide, like copper bells, staring at Xiao Xie's throne.
The royal throne drove past the crowd to the altar, and the guard on the staircase, the guard in the carriage pulled up the curtain of the door, and then knelt on the ground.
Under the attention of everyone, I saw Xiao Xie, who was dressed in a golden dragon robe and wearing a beaded curtain, walked out of the car with a solemn expression, stepped on the body of the guard, got off the throne, and walked onto the altar, and behind him, the two eunuchs bowed down and carried the dragon robe behind him.
Just listen to General Xu Yang's words, and Luo Cheng, who had long been unable to hold back, disappeared in place in an instant.
The next moment, I saw Luo Cheng's figure appear in the air above the altar
Veteran Luo Cheng's forehead was bruised at this time, the white hair on his head was windless, and he held the Xuantie spear with both hands at the same time, and raised it above his head, and the spiritual dao pattern in his body instantly soared more than 1,200 ways.
The fiery red spiritual power was imported from the hands to the soldiers, and the blue steel spear body was covered by its fiery spiritual power like a musket.
Veteran Luo Cheng unleashed a Xuan-level low-grade killing move, the Decepticon Spear, and then used all his strength to knock out the Xuantie Spear
At this moment, it was like lightning, and I saw the destruction power of the musket carrier like a dragon's roar, and it slammed into Xiao Xie who was in the altar from above at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Seeing this, the five hundred guards beside him directly raised their shields and rushed forward, and the five hundred shields lined up in a tortoiseshell formation to protect Xiao Xie to the death
However, this move was like a mantis arm blocking the car, only to see the musket like an alien meteor, smashing through the tortoise shell array, killing the guards below like ants, and even cracking the altar ground.
Seeing Luo Cheng's move, the thousand dead soldiers hidden in the woods on both sides of the altar rushed out directly with their swords and killed the stunned guards under the altar.
Brothers, give me arrows! After hearing Xu Yang's order, the remaining 1,000 soldiers above the altar pulled up their war bows and shot at the altar, each arrow was tied with an explosive spirit rune, and the power was extremely powerful, killing all the guards above and below the altar.
Luo Cheng stepped on the air and gasped, this move was his strongest killing move in the middle of the Xuan-level realm, but he felt that something was wrong.
Then he hurriedly landed on the altar, only to see that among the many corpses, the dark iron spear accurately attacked Xiao Xie, piercing his chest cavity and killing him on the stone slab.
Luo Cheng walked in front of him and pulled out the dark iron spear from Xiao Xie's body, and a strange scene happened, only to see Xiao Xie's corpse gradually turn into blue aura particles and wave out.
Luo Cheng's face changed greatly when he saw this: Oh no, it's the spiritual power clone that we have been tricked in!
