Chapter 21: Theocracy? Royalty!
War.... The slaughter, soon over.
There was no bloody battle as Lan Li imagined.
The armor soldiers led by Zuo Zhong proved to Lan Li with facts what brilliant results an elite army can create in the face of the 'rabble'.
One hundred well-equipped armorers.
Equipped with full-body armor, arm crossbows, two fine iron knives, an iron-clad spear, tower shield, gunpowder, and fire oil.
Form a terrifying battle formation like a flesh millstone.
The opponent is a walking corpse whose average combat strength is ten points higher than theirs, and the number has reached eighty-eight, and they are not afraid of death!
Settle the battle in ten minutes.
There were no seriously wounded.
Most of the injured were scalded by the heat.
The few were the armorers who were responsible for raising the shield, and after being hit by the walking corpses, they had some problems with their hand bones and shoulders.
Eighty-eight walking corpses, after being attacked, there is almost no room to fight back!
"This is a massacre!"
Coldly summed up the small battle in front of him, Lan Li glanced at Dongfang Baihou, and roared at the armor soldiers in front of him with a smile on his face: "This battle is a big victory!! ”
"Big Win !!"
"Wan Sheng!!"
"I am willing to die for my son!!"
The armorers who gathered their equipment let out a cheer.
Can be among them.
But there was no sense of joy.
It was not so much that they were really cheering for the victory in the battle, but rather that they were taking the opportunity to show their loyalty to Lan Li.
You can see it.
This 'war', which is not so tragic, is not much different from a round of training on a peaceful day for the soldiers.
Enemies do not move, do not run away.
Stupid, I only know how to rush up recklessly....
Even if they saw blood, in the hearts of these armorers, they were afraid that it would be better to fight with those bandits who broke out of the gray mist.
"It's a little weak...",
Accompanied the soldiers to cheer for a while, and when the enthusiasm dissipated, Zuo Zhong led people to clean up the battlefield (bandaging wounds, mending knives, extinguishing fires, and burying corpses), but Lan Li, who returned to his seat, was a little puzzled.
"It's a lot weaker than expected....."
Beside Lan Li, Dongfang Bai, who was about to drink water, made a move.
Weak?
If the combat power of the innate martial artist is eighty, then the combat power of these walking corpses is fifty.
A group of enemies who can be called good hands on the rivers and lakes have nearly 100 people at once!
Such a force is not weak in any way, is it?
It's not that the enemy is too weak, it's that you guys don't even know who you are now!
"The army in front of you, even if it is thrown on the battlefield under Xiangyang City, it can be regarded as the main force."
couldn't stand Lan Li's suspicion alone in his ear, Dongfang Bai endured his anger and interrupted Lan Li's nagging:
"The will of the plane is not an immortal, it can only be blessed on the basis of the original, and it can't suddenly conjure an enemy for you with nothing!"
"Uh....? What do you mean? Lan Li blinked.
"This army is very strong, and as your escort, they are a little condescending."
Glancing at Lan Li angrily, Dongfang Bai continued: "This is the first time I have experienced the annexation battle of the Thousand Miles Domain, but before that, I have also been to the plane fragments of the county city for thousands of miles, or even three thousand miles.
For example, the whole army under your command is the elite of the elite in the county town. They generally act as the general's personal guards and are responsible for leading the charge.
Such a force should not exist in a small county town at all! ”
Lan Li: "......"
You mean to blame me?
"Where did you get all this iron armor?"
"There's an iron mine just north of Muhe City."
"Iron ore? You used a lot of slaves to mine? Dongfang Bai sneered and stared at Lan Li and said, "How many people died?"
It's also a shame that you Wudang claim to be famous and decent on the rivers and lakes.
Who would have thought that you, a righteous path disciple, would actually fill in this small plane with human life! ”
Seems to be some misunderstanding?
Lan Li smiled but said nothing.
To talk to an ancient person about the knowledge of modern systematic mining is obviously a hooligan!
They don't know what deep mining and fixed-point blasting are, and they won't ask a group of 'martial arts masters' with the blessing of internal force to go to mining in person.
As for the assembly line of iron armor casting, this thing is at the absolute control level in the Great Song Dynasty!
Even if the Sun and Moon Cult is a rebel, there will be no assembly line for making iron armor within the Cult.....
It can be said that every pair of iron armor of the Sun and Moon God Sect is hammered out by blacksmiths one by one, and the manufacturing process of a set of iron armor is more than half a year.
And a factory with skilled workers, as long as they are willing to spend money, can build thousands of copies of iron armor in three months!
did not continue to argue with Dongfang Bai.
After dealing with the walking corpses in the courtyard, Lan Li had other things to do.
The role of hundreds of armor soldiers is very great.
When Lan Li walked out of the princess's mansion with the soldiers, the situation outside made Lan Li even more confused.
"What about the enemy?"
Looking at the empty street in front of him, Lan Li turned his head to look at Dongfang Bai.
Three hundred meters away, at the corner of the street, the officer in charge of the garrison raised a torch and made a 'safe' flag to Lan Li.
Dongfang Bai: "......"
Can you not ask me!
Aren't all the people standing guard there?
As the ruler of the city, since you have issued a curfew order, even if those people want to go crazy at night, they have to endure it at home!
didn't answer Lan Li, Dongfang Bai just glanced at him deeply, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Is royal power important or is divine power important?
Countless examples in history have been annotated with blood!
No matter how much the inhabitants of the city wanted to kill outsiders, in an ancient city with a perfect system and enough strength to carry it out, they would have to endure until dawn!
Unless it is the will of the plane that can make everyone red-eyed, otherwise, it is on the side of the 'gods', and it is powerless to fight against the royal power!!
Lan Li didn't understand these truths.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would have such a strong control over the city.
Even after he expressed his intention to rebel, not only the residents who had malicious intentions towards outsiders, but even the regular army of Chen Wangfu chose to shrink.
It's terrible!
"So, as long as we wait a little longer, we can return to the main plane with peace of mind?"
Walking on the stone path leading to the pillar of light in the princess's mansion, Lan Li's mouth let out a few whispers.
Around him, whether it was the armor or the green clothes, they acted as if they hadn't heard anything.
It's just that there are a few armor soldiers in charge of guarding, and after hearing Lan Li's words, their bodies will tremble.
That's him suppressing the killing intent in his heart.
on this.
Lan Li just thought he didn't see it.
There has never been such a moment for Lan Li to understand as he is now, what kind of degree of royal power and loyalty can reach!
Even if there are already light-colored bloodshots in his eyes.
But these armorers who are responsible for guarding the Blue Rite.
Still relying on their own will.
suppressed the madness in my heart!
