"Under the nose...... Ni Yao ...... For us...... Be a pig......"
Looking at the two people kneeling at the bottom of the steps with swollen heads like pigs' heads, Emperor Zhou didn't recognize them for a while, and the eunuch on the side reminded him that Emperor Zhou recognized Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu, who he sent to the Xinghai Empire, and hurriedly asked: "Why do the two Aiqing look like this?" β
As soon as Emperor Zhou asked, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu all kinds of grievances came to their hearts, tears and snot couldn't be stopped, and they slurred their words one sentence at a time, adding fuel and vinegar to say that they went to the Xinghai Empire, and the brotherhood humiliated and beat the two of them in every way, and how the two of them were loyal and unyielding, and fought according to reason, anyway, it was just some clichΓ©s, and Emperor Zhou and the civil and military officials were a little impatient to hear it, and some people rolled their eyes when they heard it.
Emperor Zhou listened quietly and didn't speak, thinking that Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were still a little useful, but now it seems that they are completely two wastes, they were fighting to be messengers at the beginning, and they were beaten into pigs' heads, it can be seen that their own families do not want to see the two, otherwise with their status in the brotherhood, why is it so?
ββ¦β¦ Under the nose, it doesn't matter if the brotherhood fights Weichen, it's just that they didn't take Da Zhou and Your Majesty in their eyes! Xiao Tianrong finally spoke a little more eloquently.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Brotherhood is so rude, I don't know what to do, and I ask Your Majesty to send troops to exterminate the Brotherhood!" Xiao Tianlu's face was impassioned.
Emperor Zhou also bowed his head slightly, with his age, he naturally would not be so impulsive and irritable as young and middle-aged, to be able to get to this point, Emperor Zhou is naturally not an ordinary person, not affected by Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu's words, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the dragon chair, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, to say that the Brotherhood would do this, it is true that it will not save face for the Great Zhou, mainly because now that the Great Zhou is newly established, Middle Earth is not completely unified, of course, it is impossible to rashly start a war with the Brotherhood.
Emperor Zhou didn't say anything, even if he was already a little disgusted, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were his courtiers after all, and he didn't want to listen to the nonsense of the two, so he planned to appease them and send them away. At this time, a military general came out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to recruit the Brotherhood!" β
"Your Majesty, as long as you give the last general a soldier and horse, you will definitely be able to destroy the brotherhood, and the last general is willing to make a military order!"
"Your Majesty, the last general ......"
β¦β¦
A cadre of generals was excited, but they couldn't stand the brotherhood bullying the Great Zhou, and they were vying to lead the army to conquer the Xinghai Empire, but these generals were the generals who rose in the war in Middle-earth, all of them were famous and famous, and they had a group of proud generals under their command, and they didn't know much about the brotherhood, but they were all experienced in battles, so they naturally didn't take the brotherhood in their eyes.
"Don't worry, generals, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, how do you think the brotherhood should deal with it?"
Emperor Zhou asked, in fact, with Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu back, there is also good news, after some bargaining, King Wu finally returned to the Great Zhou, but, at this point, the territory of the Great Zhou borders the Xinghai Empire, and the Great Zhou has to consider the relationship with the Xinghai Empire. In fact, Emperor Zhou had already received Lu Qian's letter, and he had some understanding of the situation on the Xinghai Empire's side, and he also understood the countermeasures proposed by Lu Qian and others, so he was confident, but he still had to ask the opinions of the courtiers below.
The Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be the product of compromise between all parties, the officials and generals in the court have a large family background, even some of the rise in the reckless, now they have become powerful, their families occupy a large area of land, they also have their own channels, and they have some understanding of the actions of the brotherhood. Not to mention the hostile stance between the Brotherhood and the Great Zhou, the mere fact that the Brotherhood instigated some Diao people to forcibly occupy the land of the big families made the big families feel that their interests were under great threat, and naturally the Brotherhood could not continue to go unpunished, and officials came out one after another to support the use of force against the Brotherhood.
Emperor Zhou also agrees in his heart, for his Great Zhou Dynasty, the threat of the Brotherhood is also huge, and the Emperor of Zhou is actually ambitious, since he is in the position of the emperor, of course, if he wants to truly dominate the world, how can he let go of the land under the rule of the Brotherhood? Emperor Zhou even thought that if the Brotherhood was completely defeated, then the territory of the Great Zhou would reach a point where it would be unprecedented and would remain in history. It's just that the Brotherhood is not easy to deal with, and now the Brotherhood is inciting the people to make trouble, but it is very tempting, if you really want to let the Brotherhood continue like this, and it is not good to slowly encroach on Middle-earth, this is absolutely intolerable, for thousands of years, only the Middle-earth Dynasty has expanded its territory and occupied the land of other races, how can it be occupied?
Today's Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to have been established under the condition of compromise between all parties, and the forces of the DPRK and China check and balance each other, and they are still fighting openly and secretly, but in dealing with the Brotherhood, the attitude of all parties is the same.
Therefore, the court and China of the Great Zhou Dynasty quickly reached an agreement and agreed with the coping strategies proposed by Lu Qian, Xu Changqing and other strategists, but the current strength of the Great Zhou is insufficient, and what to do now is to first surrender the King of Wu, send troops to garrison the border, defend the Brotherhood, and wait until the situation in the Great Zhou is stable, choose the opportunity to start a war with the Xinghai Empire, and recover the lost territory.
Therefore, Emperor Zhou selected several more senior and serious generals, as well as capable officials, to lead troops to the territory of King Wu.
Da Zhou's big move can't be concealed from those who have a heart, and the intelligence department of the Brotherhood has now also planted some spies in other forces, and the news quickly spread to the upper echelons of the Brotherhood.
"Since Da Zhou has sent troops, then we can't help but say that we will send troops!"
Da Zhou's reaction did not surprise Xiao Tianlei at all, he had long known that the war with Da Zhou was inevitable, with the urine nature of the Middle Earth Dynasty, he had always thought that the God Dynasty was the upper kingdom and the orthodoxy of heaven and earth, and he would never want the territory to be occupied. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty was newly established, and after the war, it seemed that the combat power was weakened, but the war was a process of big waves and sands, and those who could survive were all people with real skills, whether they were military generals or ordinary soldiers, and the combined combat power of these people was not comparable to the army in peacetime.
However, Xiao Tianlei is more confident in the imperial army under the command of the Brotherhood, after all, it has been established for a long time, it is a professional army trained in modern ways, it has also experienced a lot of wars, has never slackened, is it equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment, and all kinds of firearms, can it still not be defeated, it is mainly an old-style army that relies on the courage of blood and blood to fight?
It can be said that in addition to the small number of people, the Imperial Army of the Brotherhood has an extremely obvious advantage over the army of Upper Middle-earth, although it has just experienced the war of the Naga Kingdom, but the combat power of the Imperial Army has not been weakened much, and if Xiao Tianlei is willing, it is not a big problem to directly further conquer Middle-earth.
The reason why I didn't do much was that I had just conquered the Naga Kingdom, and it really took time to digest, and now all departments within the Brotherhood were running at full capacity, and it took time for new staff and witch doctors to be cultivated, so if it occupied a vast territory, the Brotherhood would not be able to draw people to manage it, and the pride of the people of Middle-earth made those people in Middle-earth unable to endure the rule of the barbarians, and if there were enough troops and managers to suppress it, this was what the Brotherhood lacked the most at present, so the result of forcibly occupying Middle-earth, It's just chaos, fires everywhere.
Besides, what is there in Middle-earth today?
A large number of hungry people, the local powerful clans with private armies, bandits and bandits in the mountains and forests, and some gangs and sects that are stirring up trouble...... It's not a good thing, it's not easy to clean up, but if you want to get these rotten things, you have to have a big battle with the Great Zhou, not to mention the combat power of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, there is no other thing in Middle Earth, that is, there are many people, if you provoke the Great Zhou and pull up millions of troops, the Brotherhood may not be able to bear it.
Therefore, Xiao Tianlei adopted another means, that is, to support the people under his rule to seize the land by themselves, and then transform it and bring it into control, which can be said to be a people's war, as for what kind of effect will be achieved, it still depends on the people of Middle Earth, if they choose the Great Zhou and continue to be obedient and good citizens, this process will be slow and even stagnant; If they gradually fall into the Brotherhood, knowing that they are fighting for their own land, wanting to live a good life and accept the rule of the Brotherhood, then the process will naturally be much faster. All the Brotherhood has to do is to maintain and advance this process, and make it as orderly as possible, even so, I believe that the time required will not be short, and Da Zhou and other forces will not watch the Brotherhood do this, so it is estimated that future wars will be indispensable and inevitable.
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Brotherhood, it was decided that the Brotherhood would confront those forces sooner or later, the contradictions were irreconcilable, and one of them must be destroyed or extinguished, Xiao Tianlei did not mind a long-term war with Da Zhou, not to mention, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers also needed war.
Now that many brothers have offspring, they naturally began to imagine for their own children, hoping that their own children can also get the hero template in the future, whether it is some abilities given by the hero template or the characteristics that can be reborn, of course, the most attractive point of the hero template is that it is still reborn, but it is impossible to have no limits. Of course, there is no problem at present, for example, after Wu Hao and Lin Zhan were reborn, they grew up quickly, and their facial features and faces were similar to them before, it should be said that they looked better, and after their bodies grew up, they should be more powerful than before.
However, not everyone can give hero templates, through these years of experience, Xiao Tianlei found that in order to obtain hero templates, you must meet the basic qualities, have a healthy physique, or strong mental strength, in short, there seems to be a minimum standard.
Besides, the hero template can't be given casually, even if it's the brother of the brothers, it must meet a requirement that everyone agrees on. Xiao Tianlei discussed with his brothers, whether the descendants of each person can get the hero template, in addition to giving them a good education, depends on their own efforts. If anyone can get a hero template, it's a mess. Originally, there is a problem here, rebirth means having a longer life, and after being reborn into a child, if the brothers and their own children are reborn in the future, how to calculate the relationship between each other, think about it is also scratching your head, fortunately, this kind of thing has not happened yet, so you don't have to think about it for the time being.
As soon as Xiao Tianlei gave the order, the imperial army gathered and drove directly to Yizhou, Jingzhou and other regions, and the administrative staff of other departments, as well as witch doctors and construction teams, followed suit, bringing these areas into actual control, and at the same time fulfilling the previous promises made to the people who occupied the fields.
The people of Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places rejoiced, and they were a little worried, although the Brotherhood has always been trustworthy, but in case the army of Middle-earth comes, the Brotherhood can't stop it, and they have no way, it is to occupy these fields, and they do have to take some risks, but they can't imagine it so soon, but the risk still exists, because the news of the Great Zhou sending troops also came, and they are all concerned about the war between the Imperial Army and the Great Zhou Army, however, the big war that many people expected did not break out, except for individual generals and army encounters, In some skirmishes, the armies of the two sides faced off on various fronts in Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places.
Xiao Tianlei has no doubt that the Brotherhood will win the final victory, it is only a matter of time and process.
At the same time, the Earth was located in another dimension.
Tianmen Mountain, there are many places called Tianmen Mountain in China, here is one of them, originally as a tourist attraction, visitors can visit freely, such as today Gate Mountain has become a military restricted area, and ordinary people are strictly prohibited from entering.
In a valley in the Tianmen Mountain, I saw many military tents forming a camp, soldiers with guns and live ammunition guards, guarding layer by layer, vehicles entering and leaving were strictly checked, but there were many people in the camp, in addition to soldiers and all kinds of people, there were Chinese and foreigners, looking at their costumes, you can know that they are some researchers, some of them fiddling with these instruments, talking and arguing with each other.
Located in the center of the valley here, the ground has been excavated, and the plant gravel and soil have been cleaned up, revealing a huge stone plate with a diameter of more than ten meters, on which some strange patterns are carved, and some archaeologists are rubbing the engravings on the stone plate.
It was already evening, and it was time for dinner, and the camp cafeteria, where many people gathered around to eat and chat, was strictly managed in the camp, and the work was also intense, and the use of mobile phones was prohibited, and only at this time could the people working here relax.
"Professor Huang, what you said is true? Are you sure you didn't lie to us? β
A young man at a table asked an old man with gold-rimmed glasses about the men and women behind him, all dressed casually compared to the rest of the camp in the camp, that is, ordinary people, and their faces were a little confused.
"I also know that this kind of thing is unbelievable, but it is better for you to accept it as soon as possible, after all, you have been sent here, and in order to carry out the next work smoothly, I will reveal some of these things to you, so that you can have some understanding of what you are going to do." The old man nodded.
"But, you said you want us to help open the gate of heaven, what is that, you say yes?" The young man said, and the others echoed him, and the young man and these men and women were not ordinary people, to be exact, they were all some supernatural beings, and they belonged to the supernatural ones with strong spiritual strength.
It is said that the earth has entered the high-energy region of the universe, so there have been some changes on the earth, such as the exposure of the supernatural, the emergence of some mutated creatures, which caused some panic and chaos at first, but now it has been completely calm, and people's lives have not changed much compared to the original, even those with supernatural abilities are the same, the registration system of the supernatural is implemented around the world, except for some people with special abilities or particularly strong abilities to live a new life, most of the others still live honestly.
Many of these supernatural people had been living a peaceful life, but one day, someone from the government suddenly came and sent them here, they were frightened, they thought they were arrested and went to study something, but when they arrived at the place, they found that it was not a research institute or a military base, but it was like an archaeological site.
Although the treatment received after that was not bad, but under strict control, the strangers were still uneasy, and the young man asked: "Professor Huang, you just give us a breath of air and let us feel at ease, is there any risk?" β
"There are some things that you don't know much about, anyway, your job is to help us get it working, and there should be no risk."
Professor Huang reassured the Aliens, of course, he would not give them more detailed information, which was all confidential. The Gate of Heaven, to be precise, should be called the Dimensional Gate, which should be a relic left over from the mythological era. Because of the knowledge from visitors from other dimensions, many of the things in the ancient myths of the various races on the earth may be real events, and now the scientific community has called the era of those things a mythological age. Of course, the existence of the dimensional gate, the earthlings also learned from the visitors from another dimension, those visitors from another dimension pursued the criminals, and thought that those criminals would find the dimensional positioning device and flee directly to other dimensions by spaceship.
After that, those criminals opened a dimensional gate in Stonehenge, England, and visitors from other dimensions pursued them, and the specific situation was unknown to the countries of the earth.
However, they learned from those visitors from different dimensions that the earth should have been connected to many dimensions in the mythological era, and there should be a lot of dimensional portals that remained, but due to the changes in dimensions, dimensional doors have lost their function for a long time, but now, the dimensional movement has made it possible for these dimensional doors to be activated again, of course, provided that these dimensional doors are intact. You must know that the materials used to build these dimensional gates are not high-tech materials, but stones from high-energy dimensional worlds, which look not much different from the stones on the earth in normal times.
After that, all the nations of the earth began to follow the traces of mythology, looking for some prehistoric relics, trying to find a usable dimensional door.
However, everyone is cautious about opening the dimensional gate, and various countries have also discussed it, knowing that opening the dimensional gate is risky, and if something harmful escapes or connects to a dangerous world, the whole world will suffer.
After some debate, the countries agreed to open the dimensional door, judging from the information obtained by those visitors from different dimensions, the lives of each dimension are still very advantageous in their own homeland, as for the others, those visitors from other dimensions are reluctant to reveal too much information, speaking of which, there are also some contempt and advanced technology shown by those visitors from other dimensions, coupled with various changes on the earth, so that countries are very uneasy, even if they do nothing, do not open the dimensional door, the earth will also undergo some unknown changes, There may even be something from another dimension, and in the face of all this, humanity has to be fully prepared, although countries or individuals have selfish intentions, they still generally agree that instead of waiting, it is better to take the initiative and explore other dimensional worlds.
For this reason, countries have reached an agreement to find and open the dimensional door, and no one country will be allowed to do it alone, and all countries must unite and supervise each other.
For example, the dimensional gate of Tianmen Mountain, although it is mainly based on China, but various countries have sent some experts and scholars to jointly excavate, in addition to observers, to inform the country of progress at any time.
"Tianmen, it's like the South Tianmen in Journey to the West?" A paranormal asks Professor Wong a question.
"Almost." Professor Huang nodded, it can be imagined that in the mythological era, the earth was connected to other worlds, and the human beings on the earth who were in a period of ignorance regarded life in other dimensions as gods.
"Open the gate of heaven, will some mythical gods come out or something?"
"Possibly, if it can be opened."
"Does it really exist? Isn't there a monster like that? Aren't we in danger then? β
"Monster, does Sun Wukong count?"
"Then there is also the Buddha?"
"There are really immortals, can we also cultivate?"
"That's it, we can live forever!"
"You can learn spells, how cool is that?"
β¦β¦
The strangers discussed excitedly, Professor Huang smiled, shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think, a lot of what you say is made up by novels, and the real valuable reference is those ancient myths." β
"Ancient mythology?" The Adepts are young and unfamiliar with ancient mythology.
"Take our ancient Chinese myths as an example, Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa mended the sky, and Houyi shot the sun, among which there are also true and false."
"These are more outrageous, aren't they?"
"It's not outrageous, you remove the unscientific elements of the myths, and if you imagine it reasonably, you are basically close to the real face of those gods and myths. I'll give you an example, Xingtian Dance Ganqi, you have heard this story, legend has it that Xingtian fought with the Emperor of Heaven, was cut off his head, **** became eyes, navel became mouth, continue to fight, you are like a scientific explanation, who can cut off his head and fight? β
As soon as Professor Huang asked, the supernatural people thought about it, and they could still move after cutting off their heads, and the scientific explanation was ......
"Xiaoqiang can move without a head, and he can live for several days, Xingtian is a cockroach?" One of the Anomalous guessed.
Everyone thought it was outrageous, but Professor Huang nodded and said, "There is such a possibility." β
"I can't see it, you can still fight without a head, **** becomes an eye, and your navel becomes a mouth, haha, I thought about it, like some combined robots in some machine battle animations, if Xingtian is a robot, isn't it logical?" A young Adept said.
Professor Huang nodded approvingly, and said: "That's true, this is the greatest possibility, similar to the myth of Chiyou, after Chiyou died in battle, the emperor suppressed his corpse separately, if Chiyou is a part of a combat robot, this problem is easy to explain, and the legendary ancient gods are extremely tall, you can imagine." β
"Damn, Professor Huang heard you say this about the story in mythology, it's like a group of people fighting with some mechas, this picture is really ...... Is this possible? β
Professor Huang gave an affirmative answer: "Of course it is possible, if you think that the universe has a history of more than 10 billion years, and the earth has a history of billions of years, how many years has the history of our human beings been clearly recorded?" β
"I really want to see what kind of scene it is!" One of the Strangers said, and the others also showed fascination, their three views were subverted, think about it, in the distant ancient times, staged a mecha war.
"This is possible, now we can say that we are in another mythical age, as long as we can open this gate of heaven, maybe we can see it."
β¦β¦
One night, a few days later, in the middle of the moon, there was a sudden commotion in the camp, and someone shouted: "There is a response!" β
"Sure enough, the opening of the dimensional gate has something to do with the operation of the moon!"
I saw that the stone plate in the center of the camp has regained its original appearance, the moonlight in the night sky converges on the stone plate, the stone plate seems to be ringing, shining, you can see some energy lines, after a while, some positions on the surrounding mountain peaks shot out a beam of light, the stone disk also rose its pillar of light, all the beams converged into the air, a magnificent portal image appeared, hanging in the air, like a stone carving.
"This is the Gate of Heaven in Chinese mythology?!"
The scientists below couldn't help cheering, but they didn't cheer for long, and immediately got busy, and someone shouted: "Hurry! The dimensional gate has a limited time to last, so immediately send a drone to reconnoiter the situation in the opposite world! (To be continued.) )
