Qingping County, the land of the county capital.

It's midnight, and the people here have already gone to rest.

But at this moment, it is completely different, the entire county government is a brightly lit image, and all the high-ranking officials in the county are also rushing here at this moment.

"How can this be? How can such forces appear on the land of my Qinghe County!"

In the lobby of the county government, a middle-aged man wearing only a white robe was screaming. And he is also the county leader of this Qingping County, a top powerhouse in the triple realm of the Earth Martial Realm.

Not long ago, an urgent report came to his bedroom.

After listening to this report, he didn't even wear clothes, so he came to the lobby wearing a white robe, and quickly summoned the rest of the strong people in the county.

"We, Qingping County and Shangjing County, as well as Baitu County, have gathered a total of 3,000 soldiers. Coupled with a Earth Martial Realm powerhouse under the command of King Zhennan, such a powerful team was defeated!"

"Defeated like this!"

"Especially the strong man of the Earth Martial Realm under the command of King Zhennan, even his head was cut off by the enemy......! How did this happen in our Qinghe County? ”

Qingping County's face was full of sorrow, he had experienced too many things in the past few days.

Not long ago, a child he helped a friend take care of was killed, and he was already very sad. He hadn't even sent a message to that friend until now.

And now, he has encountered such a big thing.

Not far from their Qingping County, there was a force that could defeat the powerhouses of the Earth Martial Realm and the three thousand soldiers under their command!

How could he, the lord of a county, not feel worried?

You must know that in Qingping County, he is such a strong man in the martial arts realm. If that force comes to attack his Qingping County, will he be able to hold it?

......

At the same time, not only the county capital of Qingping County is here.

In the county capitals of Shangjing County and Baitu County, the same scene is happening.

Because, a force that can be strong enough to defeat the powerhouses of the Earth Martial Realm and the three thousand soldiers can already threaten the safety of their county.

However, in fact, there are not only these three counties, this time it is the county seat of Qinghe County, which was also alarmed.

In the county, in a very secret secret room.

"A thousand sergeants fought three thousand sergeants, and they won a big victory. The powerhouse of the Earth Martial Realm under the command of the King of Zhennan was even beheaded......"

"It's a little interesting, it seems that within the scope of my Qinghe County, there is also a group of heroes. ”

A somewhat pleasant and soft voice sounded slightly, and from her tone, it seemed that this force could not pose any threat to her.

"County guard, do we need to send troops to support the three counties around Nanxun Town?"

Outside the secret room, there was a person kneeling on the ground, respectfully speaking in the direction of the secret room.

It was like a shadow, and if you didn't look closely, ordinary people wouldn't even be able to spot him.

"Support?"

"No need, I'm in chaos now, those counties have already secretly recruited troops, and their troops are already quite a lot. ”

"Besides, when it comes to support, I still want them to send troops to support me, and the king of Zhennan is afraid that he will not be able to hold Zhennan Pass...... When the time comes, my Qinghe County will be the closest area to those cult guys. ”

The melodious voice in the chamber continued to sound, as if she was also sinking into her thoughts at the moment.

But in any case, her previous words also made it clear that she would not send troops to help the three counties around Nanxun Town.

......

The next day, above the town of Nanxun.

When it was just dawn that day, Lu Chen was standing on a hill and looking at the early sun in the distance. By his side, Xiahou Yuan and Shan Xiongxin were also following.

At this moment, Lu Chen had a blood-red sword in his hand.

The blade of the sword is about three feet long, which is a very normal length. But around this sword, there is some bright red aura that is slowly emanating, and this aura is also filled with a smell of killing.

And this sword is also the reward that Lu Chen received for completing the fifth sign-in task yesterday - Blood Sword Galaxy.

"Now that our prestige has probably spread, the next step is to occupy a city as a temporary base camp. ”

While looking at the early sun in the distance, Lu Chen was also whispering.

"Great, lord, I can't wait. Siege warfare, haha, it's been a long time since I've fought it. ”

Shan Xiongxin laughed excitedly on the side.

However, Xiahou Yuan, who was on the other side of him, frowned slightly. He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to stand up at this time.

"My lord, I don't think it's right. We just subdued so many black-armored soldiers yesterday, and there were even some Spirit Martial Realm powerhouses among them. If you attack the city now, I'm afraid it won't be ideal. ”

Xiahou Yuan raised his head and said respectfully to Lu Chen. Although he and Shan Xiongxin have almost the same strength, that doesn't mean that they have to think the same.

He Xiahou Yuan was one of the generals under Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was a figure who could stand alone. And although Shan Xiongxin was also a hero in the Sui and Tang dynasties, he was actually a fierce general rather than a general.

"Hmm...... It is indeed a little difficult to subdue so many black-armored sergeants who have just been subdued. ”

Hearing Xiahou Yuan say this, Lu Chen suddenly fell into deep thought.

His current army strength does have the ability to attack the county seat. But if he had to fight now, his army would have suffered heavy losses.

"And now I don't have the spiritual source in my hands. ”

After Lu Chen seized that batch of important goods, he used the 500 spirit crystals transformed into 50,000 spirit sources.

It had long been used to improve the realm of Xiahou Yuan and himself, and to recruit two hundred Jingzhou step armors, and now his spiritual source balance was already zero.

"The last time I got that important shipment, I got information from a bandit's den. ”

As soon as he thought of the 50,000 spirit source, Lu Chen couldn't help but recall the information he got in that bandit den in the barren valley last time.

"It's really surprising that the little barren valley bandit got such a piece of information for some reason. ”

Lu Chen smiled and shook his head, after all, it stands to reason that the bandits there are too weak, and they should not have access to the information at all.

"Eh, wait!"

Suddenly, a spiritual light seemed to appear in Lu Chen's mind, and he also roared out directly, making Xiahou Yuan and Shan Xiongxin a little confused.

"Your lord?"

Xiahou Yuan and the two of them immediately looked at Lu Chen with some surprise.

"Hahaha...... Why didn't I think of that before?"

Lu Chen suddenly burst out laughing at this time, which made Xiahou Yuan and the two of them even more confused.

"Lord, it can't be that there has been too much pressure lately, right?"

"Oh my God, at this juncture, if something happens to the lord, what can I do? ”

Xiahou Yuan and Shan Xiongxin also began to worry, and discussed with each other in a whisper.

However, although their discussion was small, Lu Chen still heard it.

"What are you thinking?"

"I already know what to do next, and that's what I was thinking about. ”

Lu Chen's eyes widened directly, staring at the two of them and shouting, his tone was also a little speechless.

"Oh, the lord has already figured it out?"

Suddenly, Xiahou Yuan and Shan Xiongxin became serious.

"Of course I figured it out. Miaocai and Xiongxin, you two need to be busy in the last few days. There are a lot of bandits in the three surrounding counties, and it is estimated that there are some who are very rich. ”

"My plan is very simple, that is, let you lead the army to defeat these bandits, and bring back their belongings to me as well!"

"And you lead the army, you only need to bring those black-armored sergeants, and the Jingzhou infantry will stay here. Also, you can only move one person at a time, and the other person needs to stay here to take care of the place......"

Lu Chen slowly told Xiahou Yuan and the two of them his plan.

The strength of his current team is indeed not weak, but the military expenses and some cultivation resources are still much worse.

And if they went to crusade against these bandits and seize their property and cultivation resources, it would undoubtedly give Lu Chen and them more protection.

And, listening to Lu Chen's slow explanation of the plan, the eyes of Xiahou Yuan and Shan Xiongxin began to gradually brighten.
