The battle began, and while the civilians of the land of China were sleeping, a battle that did not alarm anyone quietly began.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the Mobei Plain, galloping towards the capital that had been driven for hundreds of miles.

This is the first offensive, an attack from the Eastern Theater, and they will rely on the cooperation with Jiao Yan to take control of all the cities in North China in one fell swoop.

To deal with this side of the people, it is naturally handed over to the Northern Army led by their "alliance" Jiao Yan to be responsible.

The second offensive broke out from within, the branches of the provinces of China were attacked by mysterious organizations, these enemies of unknown origin were familiar with the security process of the demon hunters, and they were also familiar with their fighting methods, the demon hunters fell into passivity at the beginning of the battle, and at this critical moment, many people were stabbed by the brothers behind them, and the demon hunters from other cities rushed to help, and then broke into the siege and killed the headquarters, and then left and turned against the enemy, helping the enemy to attack the headquarters.

This offensive was the most difficult to prevent and the most damaging, because every prefecture-level city in the country had branches, and the headquarters could not figure out exactly what was arranged by the enemy.

And the second offensive is dealt with by a mysterious force.

Before the battle began, there was a 1,000-strong contingent that was divided into 1,000 men with 10 men each, scattered to each prefecture-level city, and two or three men stationed in provincial capitals and key areas.

Instead of contacting the local demon hunters, they lurked nearby, using their high-level clearance to open a back door to the branch base that they could enter and exit at any time.

After the outbreak of the war, these people quickly rushed to their respective divisions, if there was no riot in the city then they continued to lurk, the riot in the city of these people above the seventh order will act as the sharpest sword, quietly beheading the leader of the enemy.

These thousand people are the most mysterious existence among the demon hunters, they have no code name, no base, and almost no one knows about their existence, they only have a shadow of nothingness, they are called "Zero".

The zero group that has been hidden in the shadows to deal with emergencies across the country is still the best way Yu Yuechuan can think of.

As for the third offensive, it is the direct subordinate of Wanshou Sect initiated by Xu Chaoyang.

There are not many of these people, about 20,000 or so, but the battle against them is only a real fight with real swords and guns, in addition to these cult forces, there are also many gangs in the martial arts world that assist them and some people in the supernatural world.

In response to these people, Yu Yuechuan personally took command, led 30,000 people directly under the military department, and intercepted them outside the northern part of Huangbei.

The big war is about to break out.

Mobei Wasteland.

Today's Mobei is no longer the scene of yellow sand in ancient times, most of the areas are gathered in cities, high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, but there are still many places to maintain a desolate area, although there is no wind and sand in the sky, but it is also a rocky next door, or an endless grassland.

Under the leadership of Qian Long, the Eastern Army entered the Mingsha Desert in three steps, which is a desert area in the real sense, due to the serious desertification of the land, the government has given up the governance of this area, so the radius of hundreds of miles is uninhabited.

The advance force is the core of the desert that enters early in the morning, and the collection of troops is still lingering on the border.

Since it was unrealistic for 100,000 people to go out collectively, even if it was an army unit, the action of 10,000 people was too conspicuous, so Qian Long ordered the regiment as a unit, with each thousand people as an independent group, to march towards the destination capital.

The regiment commander Qian Long and his own independent regiment were camping at this time, and the closest to him was the Ninth Regiment of the Fifth Army, which was about fifteen kilometers away.

"Report to the corps commander that the Third Army has completed its camp, and after resting, it is expected to arrive at its destination at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow. ”

"Report to the corps commander, the Ninth Army has completed its encampment, and after resting, it is expected to arrive at its destination at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow. ”

The commanders in the intercom reported their respective situations, and after the corps commander replied one by one, he hung up the intercom.

Lying on the marching bed, Qian Long thought about his thirty-year military career, like a dream.

He was a demon hunter who entered during the third legion reform, and it stands to reason that with his qualifications, he is now at most a military commander, but twenty years ago, the former legion commander found him, gave Qian Long meticulous care, and vigorously promoted, so he stepped from a small captain to the position of military commander, this kind of achievement that others may not be able to achieve in twenty years, he completed it in five years.

Of course, Qian Long regarded his old chief as a nobleman, and the orders he gave to him were always completed without discount, even if there were some things that he could not understand, he did not ask the reason.

Five years ago, the old commander retired, and before leaving, he strongly recommended that this youngest commander be promoted to become the youngest commander.

Just when Qian Long's moving momentum had not passed, the old chief found his house, and the two had a thrilling conversation.

"Qian Long, do you know why I chose you?" "I don't know. Qian Long's waist was straight, and facing the old chief, he always thought of himself as a new recruit.

"Because you are ambitious, you are ruthless enough, and you don't live under others for a long time, these three points are destined for you to not spend your life ordinary. ”

Qian Long smiled and did not speak.

"I'll tell you a secret, this secret has been with me for more than 40 years, no one knows, do you want to hear it?"

"If you want to say it, I want to hear it, and if you don't want to say it, I don't ask. ”

"I appreciate that from you, loyalty. ”

Qian Long smiled again.

"If I give you a chance to soar and become a real human being, but you need to abandon your so-called faith, will you do it" The old chief's eyes flashed, and he looked at Qian Long nervously.

"As long as you say it, I'll do it. ”

"Well, I ask you, what is your faith"

"Defend the peace of China from evil spirits. ”

"What if I told you that all the indoctrination you've been subjected to for so many years is fake," the old chief stood up and quietly took a few steps back.

"Qian Long, I think you have been loyal to the demon hunter since you were a child, I know your background, you are a top student who graduated from the Demon Hunter Academy, these things must have been instilled in you since you were a child, but have you thought about it, are those sure to be true?"

The old chief took a few steps back and stood at the window.

"You have to know that the demon hunter you believe in has now rotted from the foundation, why you worked so hard in the early days but couldn't be promoted, while those who are not as good as you in strength, qualifications and merits can quickly climb to your head, and then why you can rise to the top step by step

The current demon hunter is not what it used to be, and now it's not about contributions, it's about connections, why can you succeed, because of my promotion, but it's fair, isn't it fair. ”

"Chief, say what you want to say directly, I can accept it. Qian Long's face was a little unnatural, a little panicked, and faintly expectant.

"Okay, you are a smart person, then I will say it bluntly, the demon hunter will be destroyed in ten years, this is an inevitable thing, I will not hide it from you, I am an undercover agent planted in the demon hunter by the Wanshou Sect, as for the Wanshou Sect, I think you should know very well, an evil, vicious, and troubled existence for the country and the people, but is this true

No, it's not true, if we are really so vicious, how can we have so many followers, those crimes are all imposed on us by demon hunters, and even some of the evil things we have done are actually done by the demon hunters themselves, and then placed on Wanshou Zong.

Do you still remember the massacre of the whole village of Hongxing Village in Xianyang, and do you remember the big riot in Bashu, those are all blamed on us by demon hunters in order to cover up their vicious methods. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Qian Long.

Qian Long also looked at him and didn't speak for a long time.

"Qian Long, you were brought out by me, now I will ask you a word, are you willing to know all the truth?"

After being silent for a long time, Qian Long raised his head and said with a bitter smile on his face, "I am willing, I believe in the old chief." ”

Is it really willing Qian Long cut off the memories and lit a cigarette with a wry smile.

I really don't know the situation that day, no matter how powerful the old chief is, I'm afraid that the upstairs and downstairs are full of masters, and once I express my non-cooperation, I'm afraid I will be in a different place in an instant.

He touched the small gourd on his chest, there was a pill there, which was the antidote for this year, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, everyone who joined the Wanshou Sect had to take a medicine called the Nine Turns Golden Pill.

This is indeed a very good elixir, which is very helpful for the cultivation of internal strength, but there is an additional thing in the Nine Turns Golden Pill, which is called the maggot of the tarsal bone.

The maggot of the tarsal bone, a terrifying name, is said to be entangled by this creature, even if it dies, it will attach to the soul, even if it is reincarnated, it will follow you for life.

After experiencing the pain of not being like this, Qian Long was desperately loyal to Wanshou Sect, and since then he has been reduced to the top of his lurking demon hunters.

Year after year, he continued to develop his power, replacing all the middle management in the regiment with his own cronies, and all the junior officers were cronies of his cronies, and as for the top ranks, it was enough to kill them all before the action.

After receiving the order, he did not hesitate to execute the uncooperative high-level members of the legion, and led 100,000 horses to gather towards the target point.

Before he came, he got the news, and after arriving at the destination, he contacted Jiao Yan, and cooperated with his northern legion to concentrate on attacking the Demon Hunter headquarters, at this time he was not a rebel, but the commander of the legion who sided with Jiao Yan in the civil strife, and then acted according to the plan after capturing the headquarters.

So his current task is not to fight, but to get in touch with Jiao Yan first.

According to the plan, the envoy of Huo De Xingjun, one of the Big Three, would come to her camp today to discuss the specific plan of the operation, but she arrived at the campsite at noon and Jiao Yan did not show up until the evening.

"Could it be that something happened on the front line" thought of the news that Jiao Yan was seriously injured in the intelligence, could it be that his partner died

Since he won't come, then I'll arrive at the assembly point tomorrow as planned, and then ask the sect master for instructions.

The order was given to repair, and after inspecting the camp, Qian Long noticed that something was wrong as soon as he returned to the barracks.

On the portable sofa of the commanding tent sat a black-gauzed masked man, with a pair of eyes shining in the dark, looking at himself who had just walked in.

"Captain Qian" spoke in an urn and voice, as if he had severe rhinitis.

"It's me, who are you"

"I am Lord Jiao Yan's emissary, and I have been ordered to come and consult with you about the battle plan. ”

Saying that, the person who came threw him a token, and after Qian Long checked it, it was indeed the exclusive token of Huo De Xingjun.

"Lord Jiao is in good health, I heard that he has been injured a lot, and it won't affect tomorrow night's battle. ”

"Rest assured, even if the adults are unable to act, all the plans have been arranged. The messenger hesitated, but finally told the truth.

It seems that Jiao Yan is really not lightly injured. Qian Long thought quickly in his heart, this is okay, if there is such a master, his future plan will not be easy to complete.

"So I don't know what the adult's plan is, and how do we cooperate?"

"It's very simple, Qian Long, you can hand over the military power, and we will handle the rest. ”

"What" Qian Long stood up violently, he never expected that Jiao Yan's plan was to hand over power, which was absolutely impossible.

"Don't get excited. The messenger stood up with a smile and lifted his hat from his head, revealing a thin cheek.

"Lord Jiao Yan, you're not"

"Wasn't I seriously injured, why am I still here? Jiao Yan smiled and said, "Qian Long, I really think I don't know your details, you were exposed ten years ago, and you still have your life after so many years, just for today's 100,000 troops." If you were in your own chassis, we wouldn't dare to act rashly, but now that you're pouring out, do you think you still have a chance to win?"

Qian Long was full of disbelief, he couldn't imagine where he had a problem.

"I believe that you first joined the Wanshou Sect because of suspicion, because of ambition, I don't blame you for betraying your beliefs, that's because you can't see the truth of the matter clearly, but in the past ten years, you still can't tell right from wrong?"

"What if you distinguish it" Qian Long sat down with a wry smile, he was just an early stage of the eighth order, facing Jiao Yan who existed at the peak of the ninth order, he had no chance of winning at all, if all his troops were gathered together, he was not afraid of Jiao Yan, even if he died, these 100,000 people would not lose their command, but now that everyone is scattered, they can only rely on interlocutors to contact each other, since the demon hunters have been prepared, then I am afraid that the control of the army has already been transferred to others.

"It's clear, do you still have to insist on being obsessed?"

"Is there any way I can solve the maggots of the tarsal bones" Qian Long stood up suddenly, his face full of grief.

Jiao Yan stopped talking, and the demon hunter really had no way to deal with the maggots of the tarsal bones.

"I know, I know everything, the demon hunter is right, and the Wanshou Sect is wrong, but I have no choice, I know that it is to help the abuse, and I have to persevere, because I have no way out, you will not understand that kind of pain if you have not experienced it, it is really ten thousand times more terrifying than death, even if it is dead, the soul cannot escape. ”

Qian Long hugged his head in pain and roared, "I can't help it, really, I know that demon hunters are righteous, but what can I do, Jiao Yan, you tell me what to do." ”

Jiao Yan was silent, he didn't know what to say in the face of this collapsed person, after being silent for a long time, he finally opened his mouth, "Turn back, take your people and help the demon hunters win this battle, even if it is death, it is better to believe than to leave a stink for ten thousand years, Wanshou Sect will not succeed, justice will prevail over evil after all, you can rest assured, if there is really that day, I will scatter your soul with my own hands and prevent you from suffering forever." ”

"Really?"

Qian Long is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is the unspeakable pain.

"Fight for your faith, even if you have made mistakes, death is enough to wash away your sins, and after your death, we will still be brothers, just like the solemn oath we made under the military flag. ”

After a long silence, Qian Long stood up, at this moment he seemed to be a different person, the haze in his eyes was swept away, and the whole person looked much more relaxed.

"Report to Huo De Xingjun, Commander of the Eastern Military Region Corps Qian Long, apply to return to the team"
