Chapter 22 Aegean Times
If you want to know all the latest news, information and all kinds of interesting gossip about Aegean, but you don't want to ask people everywhere, then "Aegean Times" is definitely the best choice! As a super journal with the largest coverage in the whole Aegean, the largest number of readers, and the best reputation, "Aegean Times" not only publishes different text versions according to different regions, but even has different news in the supplement, which has received unanimous praise from all walks of life. Hold down the Magic Daily published by the Wizards' Guild and the Mercenary Guild's Mercenary Daily.
The Aegean Times, which is published twice a week and is published from time to time, is considered to be the vane of public opinion, fashion and the mainland China, and the most authoritative lists of Aegean, such as "Top 50 Aegean Enterprises", "Top 10 Masters of Aegean (Aegean Top 10 Kings)", "Aegean Top 10 Beauties", "Aegean Top 10 Young Masters", etc., are basically published in the "Aegean Times". Many people don't read the latest Aegean Times twice a week and feel as if there is something missing in their lives.
Creation Calendar, Friday, October 12, 2018. It happened to be the day of the second issue of the Aegean Times this week, and many office workers bought one in the morning, brought it to work and then read it secretly in their leisure time. At the same time, in cooperation with the Moore Trading Company and the Fairy Hotel, the Aegean Times guarantees that it can be bought at any time in any small town or even small village in Aegean!
Although the Aegean Times is called a newspaper, it is actually a thick periodical. After all, the news anecdotes of the whole Aegean are included in two issues a week, and the content is also extremely rich and substantial. The cover of each issue of the Aegean Times is usually a whiteboard, with neither content nor advertising. Occasionally, there is a picture on it, and it is basically big news. In the past, it was easier to appear that Aegean was a magical image of the current figures and major events. Cang Tongyue and Su Zixi both appeared on the cover of the "Aegean Times", and Cang Tongyue also appeared on the cover of the "Aegean Times" more than once, successively because of the record of the youngest magician, the youngest champion of the elite competition, the record of the youngest magician, and the top ten beauties of the Aegean! When Professor Steve Jobs, president of the San Francisco Academy of Sciences, was promoted to the Holy Rank, he occupied the cover of the "Aegean Times" for a whole month and ten issues (including two additional issues). However, the most frequented Aegean is the head of the Flying Eagle Knights, Wang Baidi, who has appeared on the cover of the Aegean Times more than 20 times, half of which is named the most admired figure by women.
Today's cover of the Aegean Times is once again occupied by the magic of a man, a young man with an ordinary face and an extremely deep gaze. Wearing the purple Western Regions Jiangnan Empire's super-grade military general's uniform, behind him is the background of thousands of virtual troops. Obviously his face is calm, but because of the background, he shows a strong aura of slaughter. And the text on the side directly reveals his identity and the reason why he can be on the cover - the marshal of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions and the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, Su Shenzhen, captured the entire territory of the Dongying Kingdom in Half Moon, and destroyed the country in Dongying!
Flipping through the periodical, the first article was the news about the destruction of the Dongying Kingdom by the Far Eastern Army. The opening chapter briefly describes the reason why the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions sent troops. The Hengshan family, a wealthy family in Dongying, actually intended to mistreat Shi Yitang, the eldest princess of Jiangnan in the Western Regions, and the emperor Ye Chenhan, who was his brother, sent troops to Dongying in a fit of anger. Su Shenzhen, one of the six generalissimos of the empire, led his troops to the battle, and won ten battles and ten victories! On the 10th, he killed the capital of the Dongying Emperor, and then completely annihilated the Dongying army in a battle, captured the Dongying Emperor alive, and destroyed the country in Dongying!
The article contains a lot of text about the Far Eastern Army, Su Shenzhen, and the Dongying Kingdom. However, what attracts people's attention the most is that the article records the scenes and processes of the final battle in great detail!
Two days ago, on October 10, under the capital of Heian Capital, the Daimyo of Dongying led the remnants of the troops and the royal guards, the 700,000 (known as 1 million) legion formed by the Daimyo of Dongying and the royal guards faced the 200,000 elites of the Far Eastern Legion.
Outside the capital of Ping'an, the camp of the Far Eastern Army. Su Shenzhen stood in front of a sand table in a military uniform, his face was neither happy nor sad, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. There was one person sitting in each of the four corners of the big tent, and three of them were warriors wearing swords, with divine light in their eyes, long breath, and calm and heavy elemental fluctuations on their bodies, all of whom were top masters with unique skills. The other person was wearing a black mage robe, with a blue and purple six-pointed star emblem on his chest, and he was a magic master who cultivated both water and thunder! These four people were all close guards of Su Shenzhen, but in the middle of the camp, in fact, they had few opportunities to play a role.
"Report!" The messenger entered the account, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Dongying has sent a messenger again, and he will make peace!" In addition, the Sky Eye troops have discovered unusual magic fluctuations in the Ping'an Capital, and it is suspected that it is a large-scale magic preparation!"
"It's still the same sentence," Su Shenzhen said in a flat tone: "Let them tie themselves up and down and go out of the city, and they will not accept any other form of peace!"
"Yes!" the messenger took the order, turned and walked away quickly, and after a few moments, he reported again, and the Dongying army had already begun to line up.
"Do you still want to play tricks? Walk up to the lookout that has been erected in the middle of the camp. Four guards followed.
The army of nearly one million in Dongying spread out on the plain outside Heiankyo, boundless, and full of slaughter, but most of the Dongying soldiers only had the long knives in their hands that were excellent, and their bodies were really tattered. There were less than 100,000 people in the center, and they were fully armored, and they were the emperor's guards guarding Heiankyo and the most powerful force in the Toei army. At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting for each other, and there was a tense atmosphere from top to bottom.
On the opposite side, the Far Eastern Army, which had less than 200,000 troops, seemed to be arranging troops at random.
Of the 200,000 sergeants, only 120,000 were actually arrayed. The remaining 80,000 were not lined up in the barracks at all, and Su Shenzhen seemed to be only ready to use these 120,000 people to fight against Dongying's 700,000 army, a difference of nearly six times!
120,000 sergeants, divided into six phalanxes. Five on the periphery and one in the center. Most of the five phalanxes on the periphery were dressed in chain mail, and most of their weapons were spears. The few low-level non-commissioned officers who appear to be the Ten-Captain are Halberds. Most of the middle and high-ranking officers were long knives or swords. If you look closely, your chain mail is basically the same, but there are slight differences in the shoulder armor on your left shoulder. Each soldier has a different color text on his shoulder armor. Red fire, yellow earth, blue wind, purple thunder. Among them, fire and earth are the most, followed by wind, and thunder is the least. In the five battle formations, soldiers in different shoulder armor formed large and small formations, each with different formations. In the huge military array, there is no pattern, and if you look closely, it seems to form some mysterious pattern.
The 20,000 people in the center are all Mingguang armor, all wearing black cloaks and long swords, and a Mingguang shield tied to their left arm. Compared with the soldiers on the periphery with casual expressions, these 20,000 people always had serious expressions. And Su Yuzhen stood in the center of the central military formation, wearing a purple official uniform, which was particularly conspicuous.
More than ten miles away, at the head of the capital city of Hei'an, hundreds of Dongying Onmyoji were waiting for them, because in the city, eighty-eight high-grade Yokohama-level Onmyoji (Dongying Magicians) carefully maintained a large enchantment, covering up the large-scale spells (magic) prepared by the ten Hanscarlet (Magister)-level Onmyoji inside. This is all the high-level onmyoji that the Dongying Kingdom can summon, and they are preparing a large-scale forbidden spell magic called Amaterasu's Divine Punishment! This magic can summon a special light curtain in the sky, absorbing and gathering sunlight to form an ultra-high temperature beam, where the beam sweeps, even steel can instantly turn into gas. And the area of the beam can completely cover the entire Far Eastern Army barracks!
The elemental fluctuations of forbidden spells are very strong, and the preparation time is very long. To this end, Emperor Toei used eighty-eight Yokohama-level Onmyoji to set up a super barrier to cover up the violent elemental fluctuations. In the eyes of the Dongying people, at least so far it has gone smoothly, but they don't know that everything is under Su Shen's control.
"Report!" The messenger came to Su Yuanzhen's side again: "The eye of the sky has reported that it has been determined that the enemy is preparing a large-scale forbidden spell, the specific type is unknown, and it is suspected to be a flame system. The progress is more than 30%!"
"Ninety percent will report!" Su Yuzhen said lightly.
"Whoa!" the messenger stepped back.
"Flag formation!" Su Yuzhen calmly ordered, and the guards behind him immediately raised five large flags. The five flags were red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white, and as the flags were raised, the five phalanxes, which were still a little scattered, were quickly lined up. A murderous aura quietly emerged.
The length of the spell of forbidden magic is usually more than 100,000, which is comparable to a periodical. The slightly larger ones are in the two or three hundred thousand. More than 500,000 are not for nothing. If it's just a magister and there is no increase, a small forbidden spell will have to be recited for half a day. This is not a conceptual half-day, but a solid half-day of five or six hours.
Amaterasu's Divine Punishment is a medium-sized forbidden spell, and if it is just a Hanscar-level Onmyoji holding the spell, he can only complete it after the basic battle is completed. However, at this time, there were ten Hanscarlet level Onmyoji holding the spell together, and the time was compressed to an acceptable range. In fact, it takes half an hour for Dongying to summon this forbidden spell.
The two armies faced each other, and neither side seemed to have any intention of going to war. The top brass of Dongying was simply ecstatic about this, as long as the forbidden spell summoning was successful, it would be over. No one can resist the forbidden spell, not alone, not an army. Even if that army was the Far Eastern Army that had been rampant in the East before, it would not be possible! However, everything did not seem to be as they expected!
"Report!" the messenger stepped forward again and reported: "Marshal, the eye of the sky returns, after thirty breaths, the progress of the forbidden spell is ninety!
"Very good!" A cold light flashed in Su Luozhen's eyes: "Order, flag array order, azimuth 17599, 723, shock!"
"Whew!" The five sergeants behind him waved the flags alternately, and the front camp responded quickly, and the camp changed somewhat. Among them, the sergeant with earthen characters on the shoulder armor at the same time stuck his spear diagonally into the ground. The whole army shouted in unison and counted down: "Ten, nine......"
The Dongying soldiers on the opposite side didn't know what was going on in the city behind them, and they didn't know what the other side was doing when they suddenly counted. A blank look.
"Five, four, three, two, one!" The sergeant counted to one hour, and thousands of sergeants stamped their feet at the same time and shouted: "Shock!"
The ground shook beneath his feet, and an invisible wave shook out, and he arrived in Heiankyo in an instant. In Heiankyo, in the enchantment arranged by eighty-eight Yokohama Scarlet Onmyoji, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the ground suddenly fell into a large pit with a radius of more than ten meters. The ten Hanscarlet-level Onmyoji were completely defenseless and fell into the pit all at once.
Then, there was another bang, and countless scorching fire elements exploded. In an instant, all the surrounding Onmyoji and the surrounding Dongying warriors were instantly burned to ashes. The only area is not large, only a radius of twenty or thirty meters. This is not the effect of magic, nor is it done by the Far East Legion, but the ten Hanscarlet level Onmyoji have been preparing for a long time, and they have completed ninety percent of the magic of the forbidden spell! Although the forbidden spell-level fire element does not form magic, the simple explosion is enough to burn all the Onmyoji in the range to ashes in an instant.
"Report!" In the Far East military camp, the messenger reported again: "The eye of the sky has reported that the elemental fluctuations condensed by the enemy have exploded, and it is suspected that it is the elemental backlash. The current situation shows that the earthquake plan has been implemented perfectly!"
"Very good!" Su Yuzhen nodded slightly, looked up at the sky, and saw that there was nothing in the sky, at least nothing to see. The corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Sky Eye, Your Majesty really got a good thing!" said with a full face: "Ready, ten breaths of time, Seven Star Tiger Huang Array!"
"No!" the flag officer behind him took the order again, and the five big flags waved alternately again. The five military formations on the periphery operated in unison, and the spears in their hands were either in the sky or poking at the ground, each of which was different, but it seemed to have its own rules. The whole army shouted in unison and counted down: "Ten, nine, eight, seven......"
"It's over!" On a mountain peak dozens of miles away, the black-clothed and white-clothed two people who appeared in the Hengshan Mansion before stood on the top of the mountain, and the gray-skinned Hengshan Ten Guards stood behind them, looking at the mirror formed by a huge water wave in front of the white-clothed man, which was the situation under the Ping'an Capital City.
As the countdown of the five military formations ended, 100,000 sergeants stomped their feet in unison and shouted: "Kill!" Dozens of rays of light rose from the five military formations. In the air, a golden tiger with a body length of more than 100 zhang was formed, and it let out a roar in the sky, and crashed headlong into the Dongying army formation. Most of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Dongying haven't reacted yet, and a few have reacted to split their fighting qi or release spells, and they have no effect on the tiger. The tiger slammed headlong into the center of the marching formation, the third and loudest bang of the day. A violent explosion occurred on the spot, and even a mushroom cloud rose on the spot! The powerful shock wave spread violently, scattering the entire army formation. The vast majority were directly torn to pieces by the powerful shock wave, and the rest were completely incapacitated.
And the Far East Legion seemed to have been prepared, and countless sergeants with wind on their shoulder armor shouted: "Royal!" A cyan light curtain blocked the entire Far East Legion in front of the sky. After a few kilometers, the shock wave, which had already shrunk a lot, was resisted.
"Far Eastern Legion!" With the help of the magician's amplification, Su Shenzhen's voice was as loud as a god: "The whole army is attacking!"
"Kill!" 100,000 Far Eastern troops poured out, and only 20,000 Mingguang armor soldiers were still guarding Su Luozhen's side, watching indifferently, watching Dongying fall in front of their eyes!
