That is the Purple Lotus Rebels, the besieging army led by the first fierce general under the Purple Lotus Hades Throne, the Blood Mist Spirit King Red Lian'er. In addition to the Linjiang Gate in the north of the city, there are two army camps on the east and west sides. This time, the Purple Lotus army enveloped hundreds of people up and down the river, claiming to be 500,000, although General Chuanshi scoffed at it and dismissed it as bragging, but in the eyes of the people in the city, looking at this continuous camp stretching across the three sides of the land and water, the number is not much different.

There is a statue of a spirit beast every fifteen steps in this city, these statues are several times the size of Han Bo's body, with open mouth and canopy teeth, and bulging eyes, which resemble the body of a dragon, and are called negative and lifelike.

Perhaps thanks to the blessing of the injury, Hanbo's job these days is to wipe and maintain these statues every day. In particular, to ensure that a mechanism behind the spirit beast can be opened at any time, and from time to time a special spirit stone is carried and placed behind this mechanism.

A few days ago, he had secretly opened his spiritual eyes and carefully examined these spirit beast statues. It was found that on the bodies of these spirit eagles, the complex and delicate spirit threads formed a delicate array, and the mechanism that he carefully maintained every day and the open mouth of the spirit beast were undoubtedly the array eyes on the spirit beast.

It's just that the intricate lines on this spirit beast are completely connected to the entire huge city wall, and finally spread across the general's mansion in the center of the entire city, and converge in the Lufeng Spirit Mountain in the south of the city. There, it should be one of the thirty-six nodes of the legendary entire Zixuan Plane Great Array, and it is also where the true power of Xunyang City is located today.

Regarding that spiritual mountain, Han Bo thought he was very familiar with it. It is one of the thirty-six caves of Zixuan, and the mountain is shrouded in purple mist all year round, and there are often spiritual practitioners in it. Although this mountain is called the Spiritual Cave Blessed Land, it does not prohibit mortals like him from entering.

In his spare time, Han Bo often went up the mountain to collect medicine and firewood to give to the old blind man who was singing. Once, he suffered an accident and almost died on the mountain, but he never really met the legendary spiritual master. But when he looked at it this time, he was almost burned by the dazzling light emitted by the dazzling purple aura.

So, he could only close his eyes and do his work honestly.

Fortunately, although the work of maintaining the spirit beast here was monotonous and boring, it was better than his brothers practicing day and night on the newly built warship in the south lake of the city, and it was easier than the frightened vigil errand in this city.

At the beginning of the siege, General Chuanshi opened the door of convenience, and Xunyang City suddenly flooded with hundreds of thousands of refugees from all over the country, and the dragons and snakes were mixed, and no one could say how many spies of the Purple Lotus rebels were inside. In this way, although there is no need to worry about the source of soldiers during the siege and bloody battle, the people who surrender to the army cannot be screened one by one.

Therefore, this kind of confidential work involving the city protection array can only be participated in by people like Han Bo, who are residents of Xunyang City and have someone to guarantee it.

It's just that today's atmosphere is a little special, as soon as Han Bo stepped on the city, he was pulled to his knees by Captain Shi Jian on the side. Han Bo secretly looked up, not far away, a pair of golden-purple spirit armor was standing at the head of the city, and the hideous negative relief on the arm armor that everyone in the city knew had already shown the identity of the owner of this armor-

Now the only boss of Xunyang City, who once followed the legendary Spirit King Yi Shizhong to fight, and personally received the name of one of the nine sons of Weiyang - and is also the most trusted and relied on the spirit knight of the current Zixuan Spirit King Zixuan Kiss - the negative general Xunchuan Shi.

Han Bo only felt that his heart kept beating wildly, although he had been in the army for nearly half a year, he still saw his commander for the first time, the legendary general who used soldiers like a god and adhered to invincibility.

However, Xun Chuanshi naturally didn't care about what a soldier beside him was thinking, his gaze was quiet, and he just swept the river from afar, stopping at the rebel water village that was huge and beast-like.

Xunchuan Shi has a slender body, and a few strands of meticulously groomed white mustache flutter down, showing the elegance of his body, but it is a little incompatible with his battle armor. The spiritual practitioner has a long life, and it is said that before following the legendary spirit king Yi Shizhong, he was a scholar who did not ask about the world, but only took pleasure in plowing and reading.

One day, he read the book and felt that he had stepped into the road of sealing the soul on his own. Later, he was inspired by Yi Shizhong and became one of his first followers. In the bloody rain and bloody wind all the way, he led the negative battalion, one of the nine battalions of the Weiyang Legion, to fight in the north and south as a scholar, and punished the murderer for thousands of miles, but he never tasted defeat.

After the legendary spirit king Yi Shizhong died in the decisive battle with the Spirit Hunting Alliance, the battle of the Apocalypse, this Xunchuan stone returned to Zixuan, retreated to the countryside, and cultivated under the Lufeng Spirit Mountain outside Xunyang City.

If it weren't for the chaos in the world today, he would go out of the mountain again, clean up people's hearts, and desperately stick to Xunyang City, which has fallen into despair, I am afraid that no one will know that this elegant old man who has entered the age of the curtain is the legendary Weiyang Nine Sons - the famous general of the army.

Above the head of the city, the "Xunzi flag" flutters in the wind, and the hunting sounds. The corpse of the spirit beast guarding the city also began to whimper, as if it was ready to open its spiritual eyes at any time.

Xun Chuanshi stared at Dajiang, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "The spirit dust has moved, the rebels will move, let the new barracks prepare for battle." ”

The generals beside him sang "No" loudly and turned to leave. After a while, Han Bo and Captain Shi Jian were also called down the city wall and returned to the fleet in the south lake under the city.

Behind General Kawaishi stood a slender young man. The man had a pale face, looked to be in his early thirties, and was rubbing a snowflake-shaped spirit seal on his hand. In this armored city, he was dressed in a green shirt, which looked quite unusual. He is now the only Spirit Refining Venerable in this city, and he is also the accompanying spirit refining master Shuo Feng who General Chuanshi has introduced as a humerus.

"Shuofeng, have you dealt with the requiem ceremony a few days ago?" Xun Chuanshi's eyes stared at Dajiang, and he asked casually.

"General, it's done!" Shuofeng heard, near? He replied: "It is the Jingtang Linghou who abandoned the city and fled that left a few requiem masters who have gone on an errand, and they have been imprisoned by me, and they will be interrogated in detail when the general is free." ”

"Then how has the prevention and control of the Requiem Gu been handled?"

"General rest assured, the 'Soul Forgetting Gu' in this city has been effectively controlled, and there will be no more danger of spreading." Wind? Jing replied: "It's just that the subordinates are incompetent, and those few spirit sealers from different planes have lost their traces again." ”

"Alas, those are all rising stars in front of you today, but it's hard for you!" Xun Chuanshi sighed softly: "By the way, the children who were injured in the Xunzi camp a few days ago are okay, right?" ”

"That person didn't kill him, and after these few days of recuperation, the four of them are no longer in serious trouble."

"It's okay to have nothing to do...... Alas, the imperial government has been eroded to this point because there are too many people like Shi Jingtang! Xun Chuanshi shook his head slightly: "Shuofeng, you are outstanding among the spirit refiners of the younger generation of my Zixuan, and you are even known as the holy hand of the weapon array. This city defense array can be rebuilt by you, and we can defend this lonely city to this day, and you can be called a great contribution. ”

"The general is overrated! Who doesn't know, if there is no general here, this city, there are still some, I am afraid that at this moment, I will already be dead and buried in the hands of the Purple Lotus rebels. Shuo Feng saw General Chuanshi's praise, and immediately shook his head in some panic and replied: "Besides, the general has always adhered to the famous plane world, and what he thinks about is not what he can do. ”

"Oh? When did you learn this!? Xun Chuanshi chuckled: "But since you talk about what you think, then you can't help but guess, what am I thinking at the moment?" ”

"The general laughed, I'm not the old blind man from the pier in the north of the city, but I don't know how to tell fortunes!" Shuo Feng smiled lightly, and replied: "This Purple Lotus rebel army has besieged the city for many years, and it has been fruitless, and it has been a lot of action recently, and the entire naval army camp has suddenly been transferred, and all the homeless fishing boats that have been forcibly recruited have been transferred to the front camp, but I am afraid that a bloody battle is already in front of me, and the general is worried about this matter?" ”

"Shuofeng, you're just too smart. I'm not worried about this bloody battle, this Red Lotus Child's spirit is weird, and in today's troubled times, it can be regarded as a rare figure. But over the past year, she has used all the tricks she should use. ”

Xun Chuanshi sighed lightly: "What I think about is that now the entire Zixuan Empire is out of balance, the people's livelihood is poor, and evil is rampant...... I'm worried that Master Yi is not a person, and I will be ashamed of his old man's entrustment...... Do you say that this lonely city, do you want to keep it like this!? And what is the meaning of our life and soul!? ”

"The general is cautious!" When Shuo Feng heard this, his expression couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Although the current Spirit King Zixuan Kiss is the same as you as the ninth son of Weiyang back then, after all, she still got the personal inheritance of the Yi Lao Spirit King, and even this inheritance summons was brought back to Zixuan by you." Now she has cultivated a unicorn like Zixuan Weiyang for the empire, and she has the blessing of the will of the plane, and has the authority of Wushang. I think you should be happy, General. ”

"Alas, Weiyang is a good boy! It's just that old friend of mine......" Xunchuan Shi showed a helpless wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and was about to continue, when he suddenly heard the sound of war drums on the river, so he changed the topic: "You are right, it seems that a bloody battle today is inevitable." Guess what, how many percent of today's children can survive? ”

Shuo Feng turned around and saw the recruit warships that were gathering in the South Lake under the city, and shook his head: "About thirty percent." ”

"I'll make a bet with you, I'm afraid that I may not be able to keep one percent, but it may be ...... No. Xun Chuanshi shook his head: "Alas, if there are those who survive, you can prepare it, and hold an awakening ceremony for them." ”

Under the city of Xunyang, old warships sailed out of the Nanhu Water Village in the city, and all gathered in front of the Linjiang Gate. These boats were converted from various small boats that had been improvised and could carry no more than twenty sergeants on board, and it would be more appropriate to say that they were fishing boats.

On a rather tall boat in the center of the battle array, Captain Shi Jian looked at these warships and sighed imperceptibly. In just a few months, however, the ships had become increasingly old, and the recruits on board had become younger and younger.

The Purple Lotus rebels outside the city have been wrapped in countless creatures along the way, with inexhaustible cannon fodder, but the soldiers in the city are getting fewer and fewer, and the "Xunzi Battalion" that General Chuanshi has finally rebuilt will never be used until the critical moment. Today's situation can only make these recruits who are still a little ignorant get on it.

That's how he himself got through it step by step. At the beginning of the siege, he was just an ordinary gang member of the Fishing Dragon Gang who begged for a living on the dock in the north of the city, relying on a little spiritual cultivation to transfer goods on behalf of people on this river. With the arrival of the Purple Lotus rebels, he fled to the city with the refugees, and also fell into deep despair.

In the end, General Kawaishi stepped forward, dressed in armor and white beard floating on the river, almost single-handedly blocking the rebels' frantic attack. It was his god-like aura that brought them a trace of courage.

He responded to the call and joined the Xunzi battalion, and quickly formed a combat strength under the training of General Kawaishi. And the addition of Shuofeng Lingzun was even more powerful, he led the spirit trainers on Lufeng Mountain to join the battle group, and soon transformed the warship, trained new soldiers, and restarted the city protection array, which finally brought him a glimmer of hope to persevere.

But Rao is like this, in this continuous bloody battle, there are still too many dead people around him. Yesterday, I just met and was still laughing with myself, but today I became a corpse in the city. Now that this group of people is out of the city, how many people will come back alive? Thirty percent? Forty percent? Only God knows!

But as the captain, Shi Jian knew that he could not be discouraged, and what this group of children needed most was courage and hope. He cleared his throat, looked at this group of childish subordinates, and said loudly: "A new round of offensive by the Purple Lotus rebels is about to start again!" ”

As his voice sounded, the atmosphere in this battle array immediately became solemn. The flotilla, which was not neat, was also put in order, almost reflexively, and no one spoke in the entire boot camp. Everyone stood upright, quietly navigating the warship, listening to his instructions.

Shi Jian was satisfied with his training over the past few months, these children were carefully selected by him, all of them were sailors and coolies who were accustomed to wandering on the riverside docks in the north of the city, and they were all good at boating and familiar with the nature of the water. With this kind of obedience and discipline, there will be more people who come back alive for a while.

"None of you have ever been to the battlefield, yes, you are a bunch of recruits, and no one can afford to be recruited. Or that you are not worthy to be called soldiers now, that you are just a bunch of coolies, poor creatures who depend on handouts to survive! ”

"Who is a soldier? Look at the top of your heads, look at the banner of the word 'Xun', and think about the courage of General Chuanshi to pursue the legendary Spirit King to fight in the north and south, chase fierce beasts, punish fierce and stubborn, and fight in the field of apocalypse with the spirit hunter, and raise the name of my Zixuan Weiyang Legion. That's the soldiers, that's the army! That's what makes your friends and loved ones proud of you! ”

"You are also training on weekdays, do you know how long it takes to train from the recruits to the 'Xunzi Battalion'? One month? A year? No! I tell you, it only takes one day! Just like your captain, it only takes one day for an ordinary person to join the Xunzi Battalion and become a qualified warrior! ”

"This day is today, as long as you rush out and kill your enemies, you are a true soldier! You will be qualified to hold an awakening ceremony in the city and become a true spiritual practitioner! ”

"Outside the city is the Purple Lotus Demon Disciple, the Purple Lotus Demon Disciple who has besieged us for nearly a year. Some of you are from Xunyang, and some of you are refugees who have fled from this Moon Shadow River. Your homeland has been destroyed by them, your relatives have been slaughtered by them, and your friends have been enslaved by them. I believe that each and every one of you has a blood feud with these Purple Lotus Demon Disciples outside the city! ”
