Chapter 37 The Emperor Is Dead, Long Live the Emperor X
The "Soul Arrow" itself is just a plant cultivated with blood, and the seeds were specially made by Michelle for Laurel back then. Plant it on your wrist and meditate on it every day in a specific secret way, and after a while, the plant will be able to communicate with the farmer.
It is capable of feeding back perceived information to the controller after it is ejected - roughly equivalent to the magician's voyeuristic art "Arcane Eye".
The Soul Arrow itself is a slightly special branch, it has no lethal power, and what really does damage to the target is the special effect attached to it - the most special thing about the Soul Arrow is that it can carry a high level of mystery! It can hold almost anything, from known magic, magic, divine powers, voodoo, curses, to unknown ancient secrets, psychic shocks, soul damage, and more!
What Shen Yan attached was a touch of murderous intent.
At the beginning, the Lady of the City Flicked her fingers and killed the title of Great Druid Michelle in an instant!
Then the lady sensed that the target did not seem to be dead...... By then, however, the target had detached itself from several worlds.
The lady is too lazy to chase, so forget it.
Michelle took care of the elf orchard alone for hundreds of years, and was indifferent to the world, but inadvertently obtained the extraordinary characteristic of "Michelle does not die in the orchard". The moment she was killed, her body teleported back to the elven orchard to be resurrected, but the killing intent on the lady's blade was refreshing—she was killed, resurrected, and killed again—twelve times in a row before she used her life to wipe out that killing intent!
Even so, Michelle couldn't erase the last trace after all, until she met Shen Yan. Shen Yan transferred this killing intent to the commander, a mere level 16 professional, naturally it could not be compared with the level 30 title of Great Virtue!
The moment the commander touched it, he was crushed cleanly from body, mind to soul. Not to mention finding a pastor to be resurrected, it is impossible to go to the kingdom of God after death!
Since the Lady of Huancheng has surpassed the god stage, she has been living in the house all year round. Occasionally go out to kill, and the target under the legend doesn't need to be moved, and it will be wiped out at a glance. To be able to enjoy the lady's aftermath as a level 16 person, Comrade Commander is the first person......

"The Commander is dead!"
The news was spread quickly by someone with a heart - when the bronze fortress was launched, it was as if a hydrogen bomb had been dropped, and the huge shock spread rapidly around the headquarters as the center!
All the generals and nobles who got the news jumped up as soon as possible, even if they didn't have clothes or shoes, they got on their horses and ran desperately towards their army!
Everyone knew that the Bronze Fortress could not be held...... At this time, time is of the essence! Because no matter whether it is the back door of the fortress or the road, it is impossible to allow more than 100,000 people to pass through quickly! At this time, the first step is the vanguard, and if you don't react, you can only break the back if you don't react.
If you are blocked in the city and can't get out, then it's really too late to cry...... No, it should be said that there is only crying left.
In fact, a few days ago, when someone brought the news of "the emperor's last order to retreat" back to the fortress, the imperial army became fluctuating. It's just that the commander of the fortress reacted quickly, and he iron-fisted sent the general who brought back the news directly to prison, and then imprisoned all the legions he belonged to! Only then was it forcibly suppressed!
Even so, the armies of the Clan and the Kingdom had already withdrawn from the fortress first, casting a shadow over the prospect of the Demon Tide War.
Now that the commander is dead, everyone remembers that order...... Someone released the general of the Guards who was in prison, and then headed him. No one wanted to hold on this time...... Even if it's a plausible choice.
At this time, no one thought about what to do with the vast imperial territory behind the fortress after retreating? In the whole world, where else can stop the footsteps of millions of demon tides? Once the tide spreads, victory will be even more elusive...... These questions.
Every nobleman (and the generals also had noble status) wanted to go home and hold on—to increase the walls of their homeland, and then to increase them. Who can join forces, who can borrow power, who can be sold for a good price, all of them can be calculated in an instant.
This is the instinct of the aristocracy......
That is, because the nature of demons is chaos and teasing, and the words they promised never counted! Countless traitors throughout the empire have suffered enough in this regard! This is why the nobles died of the heart that wanted to take refuge in the devil......
Demons actually have brains, and they also want to plot against some big nobles to make things easier. But they just can't keep their mouths shut.
"As long as you surrender, I can put ...... Squeaky ...... Hmm, you taste good, do you have any brothers and sisters? ! How did I eat the people who came again! ”
In the eyes of the aristocracy, there is no more hateful fact than - "Under the mouth of the devil, everyone is equal." ”
It's so unfair!

"Don't panic! Look ahead! That's just a normal transfer! The legion commanders yelled in vain.
The legions on the second line can be said to go, but the first-line legions guarding the city wall can only grit their teeth and insist! At this time, no one on the entire line of defense can retreat! Whoever withdraws first will lead to the collapse of the whole! When the time comes, others won't be able to live, and neither will they be able to live!
Their only chance was to survive the attack, and then wait until the attack was interlude for several legion commanders to come together and figure out who would come first...... If you run away, you will die! At this time, the advantages of centralization are reflected, and there are few people who make decisions, which makes the entire army appear "simple-minded" and can complete suicidal tasks!
Seeing that the general didn't run, the soldiers below naturally gritted their teeth and insisted!
However, because it is a city defense mode, the army is distributed on the side of the city wall in long and narrow uniforms. The officers could silence the heralds, but they could not silence the righteous brothers who came to "inform their friends." The walls were so wide, those people saw the needle, and the news quickly spread throughout the army.
The front line is on the verge of collapse, and there is chaos behind it.
The people in the handsome army are all nobles, and they are all ruthless!
I thought it would be good as long as I could run away, but after a while, I found that I was in the first camp with the fastest reaction, and I immediately had other thoughts-
Some want to leave one to block the back door after the main force is evacuated! Force the remaining army in the city to fight to the death with the demons. In this way, the strength of the demons is consumed, and the strength of a large number of nobles is consumed, and then they can devour their territory in a big gulp;
Others think that this fortress is not needed anyway, so it is better to set it on fire......
Several groups of people rushed to the warehouse!
When I arrived at the warehouse, I found that the warehouse had been moved empty, except for grain fodder and stone for repairing the fortress! Tens of thousands of tons of gold and silver salaries, weapons and armor, saltpeter grease...... And so on and so forth, all of them were all removed!
If you want to block the back door, do you have any additional weapons and supplies? If you want to burn the fortress, do you have firewood grease? Only food...... There is food for a bird!
Gotta grab some and eat them on the way...... Come on!
A logistics officer who didn't find the Abyss Iron passed out directly.

"Teacher, let it go...... They can't stand it! Terrence Gerald said.
There is chaos everywhere in the fortress, but there is also a pure land, and that is the magic tower of the fortress. The Bronze Fortress has a magic tower, but it is built underground, and the battle is observed with a huge crystal mirror. At this time, the archmage of the Harlan court was standing in front of the crystal mirror with his student Gerald, and a dozen or so remaining magicians stood quietly behind them.
The mages knew that the demons had the means to block the space on a large scale, but this time the demons did not use it, and they could teleport away at any time, so most of these mages were in a stable state of mind...... There is even a hint of arrogance in the chaos of the outside world.
"Wait." Archmage Harlan said expressionlessly.
In his dream last night, he heard a voice say to him, "Harun, look south when the authorities are out of control...... I need your help. And then he woke up! Archmage Harlan, as the highest level of magic known to the Swan Continent, firmly believes that it is impossible for anyone to break through his spiritual defense! Therefore, he believes, it is ...... The last words that the man left for him.
As the guardian of the royal Constance for generations, it is incumbent upon Harlan to stand his last shift!
Spiritual persistence has its limits, and in the crystal mirror, the defense line of the city wall has partially collapsed...... The battle has come to an end.
"Look at the South?"
Master Harlan muttered to himself, raising his flowery eyes and trying to look south through the crystal mirror.
Suddenly, he saw ...... On the other side of the magic tide, there is a little golden light flashing!
