Chapter 193: Conspiracy
The day of the decisive battle with the master of the bright moon has finally come, and around the huge arena outside the palace, there are densely packed with soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army with bright armor, and behind them, there are countless Yandu people who came to watch the battle. This duel was public, it was a request made by Mingyue, and their meaning was obvious, that is, to defeat the masters of Xiao Guo in front of many people, so as to thwart the myth of Xiao Guo's invincibility and give Xiao Guo a heavy blow.
For the sake of the confidence and dignity of the country, King Xiao agreed to their request and had to agree to their request. In order to prevent accidents, about 3,000 Royal Guards were fortified and isolated from the outside world. Outside the main entrance of the palace, there are 10,000 soldiers of the Divine Hunting Camp, but they are at the mercy of guarding. Despite the large number of civilians placed in the outer city of the palace, many more gathered outside the palace, patiently waiting for every movement inside.
Staring at the huge and empty arena, King Xiao had a faint worry in his eyes, knowing that today's battle was not only a battle between a few warriors, but also related to the morale of the army and the confidence of millions of people.
In addition to monitoring the three Mingyue masters in the territory, he had ordered Li Zhaozeng to send people to test the martial arts of those people, but unexpectedly, only a big man in yellow came out from the other party, and he defeated the masters of the Shanwu Pavilion, but the other two didn't even move their fingers.
"Your Majesty, Mingyue's people have come." , Li Zhao leaned over and interrupted King Xiao's thoughts.
King Xiao came back to his senses, stared down, and in the middle of a group of walking royal forest troops, three figures faintly appeared. The first person was a man in yellow with an unusually majestic physique, and his skin was like bronze, taller than the sturdy Imperial Guards around him. The other man was blue-clad and cloth-footed. The skin is very fair, the appearance is delicate, and the expression looks a little careless. The last man was a young man dressed in gray, and his face was as cold as ice. Inaccessible.
On the other side, Ye Zitong, Li Ye, and Bo Sheng were already sitting down in the arena, and when they saw their opponents coming, they couldn't help but look over.
The six of them glanced at each other, their eyes collided fiercely in the air, and bursts of sparks immediately burst out. An invisible murderous aura suddenly spread. Ye Zitong and the two people opposite secretly thought at the same time: "Sure enough, it's him." ”
When the three stood still, a military attache walked up to them and asked, "The hour has come, dare to ask the three of them can start?" ”
The gray-clothed young man nodded indifferently, and when the military attache saw this, he immediately nodded to the platform opposite the martial arts arena.
A moment passed. A loud shout came from the top of the building: "King Xiao has an order, the competition begins." ”
With this shout, everyone's mood suddenly became nervous, and nearly 10,000 pairs of eyes stared at the people on the competition field, full of excitement and anxiety. No one would doubt that the samurai of their country were the bravest and most powerful people in the world. But they will not ignore that Mingyue is a country that is several times larger than them in area and dozens of times more populous than them. It is one of the most powerful countries in this continent, and the masters they send are by no means so light that they can be dismissed.
"Excuse me. Which one comes first? The master of ceremonies asked cautiously, each of the Mingyue people in front of him had an indescribable sense of oppression, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable breathing.
"I'll come first." The man in yellow stood up, and his majestic figure immediately covered the body of the master of ceremonies in a shadow.
Dark clouds of black smoke covered the sky, and the once-beautiful city fell into a fiery hell. The devastated land was littered with blackened walls and collapsed houses, and cries of despair echoed in almost every corner.
After a few blackened beams snapped weakly. A roof collapsed with a moxibustion flame, and the smoke and dust immediately filled the nearby streets. As the smoke rose into the sky, a figure jumped out of the way.
Hurriedly patting the sparks on his body, his thick black eyebrows carried a trace of deep sadness, the fire in Yandu had been burning for three days, and he still hadn't been able to find any trace of Ye Zitong.
Yandu is now full of Mingyue's army clearing the remnants of Yandu, although Xiao Guo is broken, but the defenders are very tenacious, and they have been fighting street battles with Mingyue's army that has invaded the city. The army guarding Yandu was originally composed of the most elite Imperial Forest Army and the Divine Capture Camp of Xiao State, coupled with the familiarity with the terrain here, after the city was broken, it did not lose its fighting spirit, and it was still under the leadership of some generals to confront the Mingyue Army.
Almost every time the Mingyue Army took a step forward, it would be harassed and attacked from all directions, and although its strength was several times that of the other party, it still suffered a lot of casualties. Annoyed by the Mingyue Army stationed here, they began to set fire to the city, trying to force out the remnants of the Xiao State hidden everywhere.
Since the two sides had already killed each other, many of Mingyue's soldiers had disregarded military discipline and began to slaughter the people, making the shape in the city of Deyan even more chaotic.
Another section of the wall broke and collapsed in the scorching air waves, accompanied by thick smoke, and several figures in the costumes of the bright moon soldiers appeared on the street behind the ruins.
"Who?" One of the soldiers found out and immediately shouted.
The man secretly screamed badly, he had a weapon on his body, and he was the target of these Mingyue soldiers, and once they found out, they were afraid that they would immediately start fighting. Not wanting to cause trouble, he turned around and ran quickly to the other end, and when the soldiers saw it, they immediately shouted and chased after them.
Just as he was about to shake the soldiers off, he suddenly heard the sound of wind in front of him, and a spear had stabbed straight at him.
Frightened in his heart, his body dodged, and he drew his sword and slashed at the head of the spear with a bang.
The spear was slashed, and sparks flew everywhere, and the body of the spear fell to the ground with a click. Looking back, I saw a soldier standing across from him empty-handed, stunned.
Looking behind him, he couldn't help but gasp, the previously empty avenue was full of soldiers wearing Mingyue military uniforms at this time, thinking that the soldier who found him shouted loudly, and led back a team of Mingyue troops who had avoided before.
With the order of the person who looked like a general on the horse, the swords in the hands of several Mingyue soldiers flashed, and they slashed towards him viciously.
Withdrawing and retreating sharply, the long sword in his hand shook slightly, and stabbed out like a silver snake, instantly knocking down two soldiers, he didn't want to anger this group of Mingyue people now, although he was fast, he didn't hurt his life. Seeing that his companion was injured, the person who pounced on him roared angrily: "It's Xiao Guo's spies, everyone killed this guy together." ”
Seeing that the other party was menacing, he didn't dare to let them rush too close, so he immediately swept back his sword, leaving two bloody wounds on the chests of the two Mingyue soldiers, and then kicked another one with his feet.
When everyone saw that he injured five people in an instant, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and the generals on the horse were also a little surprised, and then shouted: "Hold him, don't let him run." ”
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately attacked again with weapons, and they had no choice but to deal with these Mingyue soldiers while looking for a chance to escape.
Although those Mingyue soldiers are fierce, they are just ordinary soldiers, where are the opponents who have been instructed by Ye Zitong, after this siege, not only did they not catch them, but they injured more than a dozen.
Seeing that the general was powerful, he finally couldn't hold his breath and began to command his subordinates loudly: "Get out of the way, set up a gun formation." ”
Seeing that the soldiers besieging him had withdrawn one after another, he was in astonishment, when he suddenly saw a bright light flashing in front of him, followed by a whirring sound, and several spears flew towards him from the air.
The soldier who threw it was obviously trained for a long time, and the target shot was extremely accurate, and it happened to be sealed in the middle, and he did not intend to dodge, and immediately raised his sword, and with a bang, a spear that rushed to his forehead flew away, and then the sword light trembled, and several spears were knocked down in a row.
The general was a little surprised to see the spear down, but he did not panic, only sneered, waved his hand lightly, and when the wind sounded behind him, another spear flew out, faster and more urgent than the previous time.
Although he shot down the spear, he felt that his hands were numb, and his forearms were painful, so he knew that this spear was really much different from ordinary crossbow arrows. The tip of this spear was made of pig iron, and not only was it dozens of times larger than a crossbow arrow, but after borrowing power from the air, the strength was even greater, and even he felt that it was difficult for him to deal with it.
Seeing a spear in the air hulala pressing on the top, he didn't dare to touch it again, his footsteps kept moving, and he narrowly dodged the flying spears one by one. When those bright moon soldiers saw that they couldn't stab him, they all roared and screamed, and the spears they threw were even more dense.
After a few turns, he gradually struggled to cope, and one of the spears was only a fraction of a millimeter short of his dodging steps, and almost pierced him. After palpitating, I couldn't help but secretly hate how the other party's spear was endless, as if there was no end.
He didn't know that the moon soldier he encountered was the long ranger in the army, and in the battle of a large army, in addition to the crossbow and catapult with a long range, the thrower was also an indispensable killing weapon. These long rangers were all well-trained throwers of the Bright Moon Army, and each of them had more than three spears on their horses, and it was difficult to escape once they were surrounded by them.
While dodging the spears flying from the sky, he looked for a gap to get out, but when he saw that he was surrounded by the Bright Moon Legion, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Without paying attention, two spears fell from the sky, just blocking his dodging steps, and in desperation, he had to swing his sword to block it.
Hearing only two 'bells', the two spears shook in the air, and they fell to the ground in the face of sparks, their wrists were numb, and they were also shocked back a big step. Seeing that there was an opportunity, several Mingyue soldiers took crossbow arrows and shot him one after another, making the parry even more difficult. Seeing that he couldn't escape from this place, he couldn't help but feel a trace of despair, and when he was anxious, he suddenly heard a scream from the Mingyue army, and a person fell limply, with a sharp arrow in his chest that trembled slightly.
