"Good. I understood. It seems that the swordsmith of the Sword Nation has created something magical. Li Shiluo nodded, a trace of doubt in his eyes.

She could probably imagine what the sword looked like and what it did.

Swords and shields have always been at both ends of the game in war, whoever can master the defense will master the attack, and even in the civil war in the Sand Sword Kingdom a month ago, there was a peculiar defensive measure.

The information she could get was not very exact, and Sha Jianguo's side also hid the relevant information very secretly.

The only thing that is certain is that the side that has sufficient defense will take the lead in the war.

At the same time, the sword is also bound to change the pattern of the entire war.

However, it remains to be considered whose hands this sword came from.

Is it Chongjian Six Stars?

Or—

Emiya?

Li Shiluo didn't want the latter.

However, judging from the situation of the contact during this time, the possibility of Emiya is also very high.

Even, a terrible thought was born in Li Shiluo's heart-

If Chong Jianguo was the main messenger behind the assassination of the Heavenly Sword Emperor this time, then it was also possible for Wei Gong to participate in the sword sacrifice ceremony and use it to get the opportunity to assassinate.

Judging from the situation at that time, whether it was the palace or the time, there was a chance.

If she was the mastermind, she wouldn't have taken such a risk, and if the time didn't succeed, at least another backup enforcer who could do so in that case.

Or some other after-move......

"What's wrong? It's a hassle, isn't it? Shen Liang looked at her suspiciously.

Just now, this No. 1 Sword Forger of the Book Sword Country, who had always been known for his calmness, suddenly turned extremely terrifying.

"No ......" Li Shiluo shook his head, pulling his thoughts away from the terrible thoughts he had before.

Until there is definite evidence, she still wants to believe Emiya.

The corners of Li Shiluo's mouth curved slightly upward, and he smiled, "No matter what that sword is, I don't think it can resist my Fire Spiral Cross Sword." “

With that, she unsheathed the saber at her side and held it in both hands.

The confident smile on Li Shiluo's face lifted Shen Liang's spirits.

He lowered his head and looked at the longsword in front of him with a twinkle in his eyes.

The red scabbard is carved with a square pattern, simple and simple, and in it, you can faintly feel the powerful and scorching power.

……

By about two o'clock in the afternoon, in the sight of Shen Liang and Li Shiluo, a long black line appeared from the snowfield in the distance.

His lips opened slightly, and a few silent syllables came out—

Here it comes.

As the line advanced, the crowd behind it moved neatly and regularly like a black cloud.

Looking at the overwhelming formation, there were at least 50,000 people coming from the other side.

In order to prepare for the upcoming war, Shen Liang had already relocated all the residents of Shurui City overnight, and now the rest of the city are iron-clad soldiers.

The 30,000 army is already the most important elite force of the Shujian Country.

Since the Great War twenty years ago, the armament strength of the Shujian Kingdom has been slumped, and it has developed with great difficulty to this day, and the soldiers of the whole country may not be able to gather 100,000.

Compared to the 100,000 elites of the year, the current Shujian Kingdom is as weak as a child.

……

The opposing army, dressed in all azure armor, was mighty and majestic, like a rushing river, and slowly moved until it stopped about 800 meters in front of it.

No more, no less, right on the verge of being able to fight.

Shen Liang estimated whether to launch an attack.

If it was a long-range sword displayed by the Dream Sword Kingdom at the Sword Sacrifice Ceremony, it would have reached the range now.

Just in case, Shen Liang still suppressed the powerful desire to make a preemptive strike in his heart.

His fingers lightly pressed on the scabbard on his waist, and Li Shiluo specially instructed that the effective range of this sword was only ten meters.

You must be patient and wait for a suitable moment.

At the same moment, in the middle of that tide, a human figure flew out.

The other party was wearing a azure armor, and the white mantle dragged behind him, and he was blown by the wind and hunted.

Shen Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the other party-

Yu Zhenyu, the general of the Chongjian Kingdom.

"Please see General Shen!"

The air was tense and filled with a huge smell of gunsmoke, and the soldiers around him clenched their long swords tightly, waiting for Shen Liang's order.

Li Shiluo stood behind him and shook his head slightly.

Shen Liang hesitated for a moment, then threw the long sword outward, and with a swing of his body, he flew out of the watchtower.

A faint sword light quickly swept across the ground and stopped within ten meters of the opponent.

The commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the two countries were looking at each other face to face at this time.

Compared to Shen Liang, the general of Chong Jianguo looked much older.

He wears an azure helmet, revealing a pair of staggered eyes, a gray beard, and a wrinkled face.

Yu Zhenyu stood up straight, if you didn't look at his face, you would feel that this was the image of a young and tall general.

Shen Liang's gaze darkened slightly.

If his predecessor hadn't died in the Izumo Mountains twenty years ago, I'm afraid it's a similar story now.

The two sides stood in the wind, looking at each other and smiling.

"Without further ado, I'll get straight to the point." The general of the Chong Sword Kingdom went straight to the point, and bowed slightly to Shen Liang, "I am under the order of the Chong Sword Emperor to conquer the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, and I have no hostility towards your country. ”

He paused, observed Shen Liang's expression, and continued, "Both we and your country have survived for more than a hundred years under the humiliating rule of the Heavenly Sword Kingdom. To be precise, we have a common enemy. And why kill each other? ”

"That's nice." Shen Liang let out a cold snort in his snort, "Then, what explanation do you make for attacking my country's Jianhan Pass without declaring war?" ”

"The situation is urgent, and we can't do anything about it." Yu Zhenyu's face showed a trace of sadness, and he sighed slightly, "However, if we can borrow the Heavenly Sword Country, we will repay all the losses of the places we occupy and your country in the future." ”

"Hah! How can people believe such words? Shen Liang looked at him in disbelief, like looking at a poisonous snake.

"You can really capture the Heavenly Sword Kingdom, how can you let us go after that?"

"On behalf of the Chongjian Kingdom, I can sign an alliance contract with you." The other party said quietly.

Shen Liang laughed as if he had heard a big joke.

"General Yu, I'm not a child anymore, who doesn't know, such a thing as a contract must be guaranteed by strength, even if you promise to be good friends with the Sword Kingdom for five years and ten years, but once our strength is tilted, after your country has grabbed the wealth of the Heavenly Sword Country, it has grown to a certain extent, how can it tolerate us? At that time, don't talk about return and compensation, I'm afraid that Jian Feng will directly aim at Xinghuang City, the capital of the Book Sword Emperor, right? ”

After he said this, the atmosphere froze.

The other party looked into his eyes quietly for a long time.
