CHAPTER XIX
Qicheng, wishing the Ma family
Early this morning, the heads of the other three major witch families rushed here, and even some tributary leaders secretly entered the tall mansion of the Zhu Ma family in an unmarked carriage.
Everyone in the hall sat down, with a tacit look in their eyes, and no one spoke.
After a while, when the sun rose, the next person reported that a new guest had arrived, and the head of the Zhu Ma family hurriedly asked people to come in, and the person who came was the old man of the Extreme North Clan.
"I haven't seen you for ten years, it's still the same, hehehe......"
"The north is very frozen, and it's hard to get old. The old man replied angrily and sat down in his seat.
"I wonder how many people from the Shendan clan have come this time?" asked the Great Imperial Family Master.
"It's only a hundred, and if things don't work out in a day, don't call your previous surname. ”
"What are you doing with a hundred?" the master of the Torture Wind family scoffed.
"Aren't we just an archway? What are so many people doing? Besides, how many warriors can we have in the far north?"
"Okay, okay, don't make noise when you first come. The head of the Zhu Ma family pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Except for the Shendan clan, I don't know how many people the patriarchs brought this time? Qicheng is very large, and it is not enough to have fewer people. ”
"What's the matter? Could it be that you four witch families don't have enough troops in Qicheng? Do you really plan to let us enter the city?
"Great Qi City, there are too many places for the warriors of the four great witch families to control, not only other witch families, but also the witch horses of the palace that need to be checked and balanced, do you want to wait for us to open the city gate for you without spending a single soldier?"
"Of course, it won't really let you attack the city, and there will naturally be someone at the city gate to answer at that time, what you patriarchs need to do is to help us control Qicheng according to the predetermined plan, this place is too big, and it is difficult to predict the changes in advance. "The head of the Great Imperial Family always likes to be a peacemaker.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the patriarchs looked at each other, and a leader stood up.
"In addition to the four great witch families, there are a total of seventeen tribes from all over the Qi Dynasty, and a total of 500,000 elite warriors can be produced. ”
"The four great witch families can give out 600,000, not counting the 200,000 stationed outside the city, are you fooling around? As long as this trip to the troubled waters wades in, it will bring the whole clan in, do you still expect to watch the fire from the other side?" The head of the Xingfeng family slapped the table, and the spittle stars were about to spray on the faces of those patriarchs.
"I'm afraid that someone wants to protect himself, right?" said the head of the Xiangyu family, who was very in line with the matter.
The patriarchs of the major tribes were silent for a short while, indeed, it was impossible for seventeen powerful tribes to gather only half a million warriors.
But everyone is a human spirit, what if the four great witches come to cross the river and tear down the bridge, they can do it to seize power and usurp the throne, and stabbing them in the back is already a trivial matter.
"In this case, a total of 17 tribes have sent a million warriors to cooperate with you, but you can't go back on the promised conditions. ”
"Of course!" The head of the Zhu Ma family nodded: "After the matter is completed, the seventeen tribes will become the new Wu family in Qicheng, and will get fertile land and pasture, and the four of us can swear to the gods, and the patriarch of the Shendan clan can witness it." ”
As he spoke, the head of the Zhu Ma family glanced at the old man with an inexplicable smile.
"Then there are two problems left, one is the palace, the other is the witch palace, the witch horses in the palace are powerful, the witch hall is even deeper, and they also control the great array of Qicheng, those big witches are not decorations. ”
"That's right, if a million warriors are close to Qicheng, they will be discovered by the Witch Temple hundreds of miles away. ”
The heads of the four great witch families looked at each other and smiled.
"This rest assured, we have been preparing for more than ten years, and we will definitely be foolproof, half a month later, the witch king will die of illness, the palace will be disrupted, and the witch horse will be dealt with by our four major witches. Zhu Ma said.
Immediately after that, the head of the Great Imperial Family also spoke: "It won't take half a month, it is not certain whether the Witch Hall can survive or not, don't worry about the obstruction of the Witch Hall after entering the city, as for the army approaching Qicheng, even if the patriarchs mobilize the soldiers, we will help you solve it." ”
"Looks like you're really ready for everything. The old man of the Far North clan interjected.
The head of the Zhu Ma family shook his head with a smile: "How long will it take to assemble an army?"
"Seventeen tribes are scattered all over the place, and it is not a problem to assemble, but it will take a month to rush all of them to a hundred miles away. ”
"Then I'll give you a month, and in a month, I'll attack Qicheng!"
......
The four great witches over there are plotting to seize power and usurp the throne, but here the witch hall has ushered in some strange things.
Since half a year ago, the witch hall inexplicably began to disappear, and this matter quickly received Lu Shu's attention.
But no matter how she investigated, there was no clue, this is the Witch Palace, and the missing one is at the level of the Great Witch, who has this ability?
Until now, Lu Shu, who really had no choice, set his sights on the underground secret room.
There is only one person in the entire world who can quietly restrain the Great Witch here, the hall master.
But the dead ghost said that if he didn't come out for a day, he wouldn't be able to open the secret room for a day.
"Alas...... Do you want to go in and have a look?"
In the green building, Lu Shu fanned his fan, ate the fruit transported from the south in his mouth, and sighed.
After a while, the maidservant girl outside the door walked in and handed over a letter, saying that a man was going to hand it over to Lu Shu.
Withdrawing from the maidservant, Midori opened the envelope carelessly, but when she saw the contents of the letter, her expression changed suddenly.
It wasn't until a long time later, when her face returned to her normal state, that she threw the letter into her glass, and that a flame ignited her fingers, burning the letter to ashes.
A month later
The dark sky is shrouded in dark clouds, and the first rain and snow of autumn and winter seem to be coming.
Zhuo, who couldn't sleep at night, got up and came to the courtyard of the Witch Palace, leaning on a piece of bluestone, silently absorbing the aura.
He was now an eighth-level witch, and he never thought that becoming a witch would be such a simple thing, as if all the levels were a matter of course for him, and there was no obstacle along the way.
As long as he keeps absorbing the aura and turning it into his own use, he can keep improving, as for the difficulty of breaking through...... He hadn't met him once.
Tick......
A drop of rain fell on the ground, and Zhuo looked up at the sky, and suddenly, he saw a fire in the night sky to the west, and at the same time, there were powerful fluctuations of magical power.
Just when he didn't know what was happening, a feeling of dizziness hit his mind, and the whole person began to be confused.
"What's going on?"
Zhuo frowned, holding his head with his hand, he was an eighth-level great witch, how could this happen? Could it be because his strength had improved too quickly, and retribution had finally come?
But...... It feels familiar.
The dizziness became more and more intense, and Zhuo couldn't help but snort and fell to the ground.
At this moment, a faint cry of mosquitoes appeared in his ears.
"Come, come, come, come to me, I'm your closest person......"
Zhuo shook his head and resisted the voice, but the attraction of the sound seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, burrowing into his mind everywhere.
Finally, Zhuo lost consciousness and walked towards the underground chamber like a walking corpse.
At this time, in the underground secret room, more than a dozen pools of minced meat were sprinkled on the ground, covered with countless roots.
The giant laurel tree shrunk a little, but it was still alive, but the second-generation witch king in the tentacles at the root was gone, and it was replaced by the old hall master of the witch hall.
"You're not a witch! you're a monster!"
The old hall master spat blood from his mouth, and the magic power in his body was constantly absorbed by the tentacles, and at this time he was an old man who had lost his strength, and he could only struggle weakly.
"Hehehe...... Don't bother, this is a cage given by the gods themselves, and it took me a full seven hundred years, and I still have to rely on your ignorance to break free. ”
"Monster! The gods won't let you go!"
"Of course he won't let me go, but what if I become a god?"
The second generation of the Witch King grinned, and his handsome face was only weird.
Then he didn't pay attention to the old hall master who kept insulting, but walked to the stone platform and drank the wine in it.
At the same time, he picked out a suitable bone from the white bones on the side and stuffed it into a body as soft as rice porridge.
"Tut-tut, look at you, this is the skeleton of the ninth-level Great Witch, this kind of strength can barely be regarded as the sixth level a thousand years ago, you are really a waste of defiling this aura, one generation is not as good as the next. ”
As he spoke, the second-generation Witch King turned around and walked towards the secret room, embracing the air with both hands, his face full of intoxication and enjoyment.
"It's good to be alive again. ”
......
Outside the city, dense black and swarthy warriors stood quietly at the south gate.
With an army of millions and an endless stretch, the four great witches really fulfilled their promises, and they rushed all the way, but they were really not discovered by the people of the witch hall.
At this moment, a ray of fire rose from the inside of the city, and then countless fires lit up from under the city walls.
Woo......
The earth-shattering horn sounded, and the closed gates of the city were opened.
"Kill! A head, the whole family is exempted from paying taxes for a month, and those who are strong can get fertile fields and pastures!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Countless beast-like warriors rushed into the city gate with swords in hand, and received no hindrance.
And this is also the first time that someone has led troops to attack it since the city was built recently.
Just when the second generation of the witch king broke free from the cage of the laurel tree and the millions of rebels entered Qicheng, on a low mountain dozens of miles away from Qicheng, the dusty Feng walked up, and looked forward from here, just to see half of Qicheng.
"Suffered! How can there be rebels attacking the city!"
With the wind under his feet, Feng hurried towards Qicheng despite the night, and there was a heavy package behind his back, which was tied to his body.
