Chapter 91—Partners Reunited (I)
After a quarter of an hour, the slightly unlucky messenger ran back to the southern city wall out of breath, although the area of the city was not large, the total length of the surrounding city wall was only more than ten miles, and if it was an ordinary season, it would not take so much time.
Now the internal situation of Qi is really special, the physical strength of these soldiers is naturally not comparable to the past, and the long-term physical exertion, lack of food and huge pressure will be a huge test for all those who stay in the city.
By the time the soldier ran back to the Nancheng Tower, Feng Yuchong had already rushed here with the help of light skills. At this time, he was surrounded by dozens of patrol soldiers, staring at the two figures not far away that were gradually approaching the vicinity of the city tower.
Due to the darkness of the sky, it was difficult for Feng Yuchong to judge whether these two figures were friends or foes from their current position, but their current situation should generally be members of the Dark Legion, that is, their enemies.
Feng Yuchong didn't understand a little, did the Dark Legion still have any backhands that they didn't know at this moment? They had been dealing with the Dark Legion for several months, and they had learned a lot about the special forces in the Dark Legion, as well as the special ways they fought at any time.
Since Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying left Huicheng and went to Zhongcheng half a month ago, the Dark Legion has never launched a large-scale military operation, and only a few small groups of troops have sneak attacked.
These sneak attacks were really not worth mentioning for the soldiers of the Qi State, who were already familiar with the road, so they did not pose any threat to them.
Every Qi soldier in the city, they knew that the biggest threat now was not the Dark Legion, but their own internal situation. The shortage of food and the lack of weapons and arrows are facts that cannot be reversed, and even if the morale of the army and the people is still the same, it will not be able to make up for the predicament in this regard.
As it stands, the Dark Legion seems to have understood this, and has not launched any large-scale siege operations during this time, but has also withdrawn some of its members in a timely manner.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see and understand the current deployment and intentions of the Dark Legion, and they must know the fact that there is a shortage of various materials in the city, so they have also discovered their weaknesses and are ready to surrender without a fight.
To put it more simply, the Dark Legion wants to use their isolated city to use their Qi soldiers and civilians trapped here as bait to attract the northern forces to come to support, so as to eliminate them in one fell swoop.
Feng Yu rushed to the Dark Abyss and learned some thoughts about the Dark Evil God from the Vampire Bat Queen Detena, the former Wing Clan Patriarch Gui Fengqing, and the abilities he possessed.
Regarding the Dark Army and the Dark Evil God, Feng Yuchong still knows something. From Gui Fengqing, they knew the true intentions of the Dark Evil God, his attempt to conquer the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, seize all seven Creation God Artifacts, and unlock the seal of the Dark Abyss on the Lost City, which was also something they had known for a long time.
Of course, although he knew the intentions of the dark evil god, it didn't mean that he could deal with it, he could do very little now, being trapped in the city, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the future of the entire Qi country, and in some ways restrained Feng Yuchong's heart that longed for freedom.
Judging from the current situation, the plan to unite other forces is absolutely correct, including the current desire to intervene in the internal affairs of the feudal state, in an attempt to gain the support of the feudal state by letting their former partner, Princess Bu Yuehan, replace her father, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao. In other words, to bring together two different forces within the feudal state.
Once they can succeed, they can not only avoid the possibility of losing the feudal country and turning to the Dark Legion, finding unnecessary danger and trouble, but also can work with Bu Yuehan to completely bring all the forces on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent to the united front.
Originally, during this period of time, Feng Yuchong had been thinking about how to implement this matter, and he and Sun Hao had summed it up many times, and they gradually got the same idea. The first thing they need to do now to get out of this situation is to spread out the pressure they are carrying.
To put it simply, in their current situation, they need to leave the country, or the army of the white-clothed celestial girl forces to attack the rear of the Dark Legion, that is, most of the towns in the north of the Qi country. Hoping for the Dark Legion to withdraw temporarily, they can gain precious respite.
The current situation in the city, everyone in this city is very clear, food shortages, weapons, materials and arrows, these materials that cannot be produced and manufactured by themselves, have now reached the embarrassing situation of being about to be exhausted, and it will not be long before they will be defeated without a fight.
But even so, they didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the Dark Legion, the risk of doing so was too great, and if they failed, they would lose all opportunities to turn the tables. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao will not adopt such an extreme strategy.
The main problem, what is bothering Feng Yuchong and the others now, is not the so-called "head-to-head confrontation" with the Dark Legion, the first thing they need to do is to defend the city as much as possible, protect the last barrier of the Qi Kingdom, and wait for the news of Feng Shanshan and Luo Yinying.
Before that, they couldn't let the Dark Legion succeed no matter what, which was also a belief that Feng Yuchong had always firmly believed.
Because of this, these two unexpected figures appeared outside the south of the city of Huicheng, and they couldn't see their faces and bodies clearly, and they were defaulted to being members of the "Dark Legion", which would bring such pressure to the soldiers of the Qi State who were normally guarding the city tower.
Feng Yuchong, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, he also couldn't tell where these two figures were, just from the movement of them gradually approaching the southern city wall, it seemed that the purpose of their approach was definitely not very simple.
Out of this consideration, Feng Yuchong simply ordered to dispatch the army first, of course, there is no need for many subordinates, and the four city walls can each subordinate a thousand troops to guard against the attack of the dark legion.
Feng Yuchong's idea was to observe the movements of the Dark Legion first, to determine the true identity of these two figures, if it was really the Dark Legion that launched a tentative attack, they would naturally increase their troops to the city tower.
Leaning on the edge of the city tower, due to the appearance of these two figures, it also attracted the attention of all the Qi soldiers on the entire city tower, and they were also paying close attention to the two figures that appeared unexpectedly in front of them.
Judging from their current movements, it seems that these two figures are gradually approaching the city. At night, in order to prevent the night attack of the special bat unit of the Dark Legion, the surrounding castle towers are lit with torches all day long, so the location of the castle is very easy to determine.
The footsteps of these two figures seemed to be approaching unhurriedly, and every time they took a step, Feng Yuchong's heartstrings tightened. He had even taken his Soul Wind Feather Fan out of his sleeve early, ready to deal with possible threats at any time.
There are not a few members of the Dark Legion with special abilities and weirdness, not only Feng Yuchong, but also the soldiers of the Qi State who have participated in the confrontation with the Dark Legion are prepared for this. Even now that the Dark Legion sent out special forces they hadn't seen before, they wouldn't be too surprised.
With general psychological preparation, even if there are still members with strange and special abilities in the Dark Legion, the soldiers of the Qi Kingdom will not be frightened by surprise. In the recent period, the soldiers of the Qi State have been fully prepared, and they know that the Dark Legion will probably not launch a large-scale attack on them again. In other words, the Dark Legion knew about the crisis within their Qi country, so they simply waited for a few days until they couldn't hold on to it.
Because of the existence of this thought, although these soldiers felt very strange and surprised by the two slightly blurred figures that suddenly appeared outside the city just now, they still maintained the most correct attitude ——— calm.
They immediately sent someone to report to Feng Yuchong, the commander who was inspecting the city tower at this moment, and Feng Yuchong also took advantage of the news to hear the news. Compared with ordinary soldiers, Feng Yuchong's sense of crisis is stronger, mainly because he knows better that Cangqiao's inventory has bottomed out.
In such a situation, there is no need for the dark legions to attack, they will be in chaos due to the lack of food in a few days, and then find a better opportunity to take the city without blood.
As the two figures gradually approached, and the outline of the figures gradually became clear, Feng Yuchong involuntarily held his breath, held his breath and concentrated, completely focusing all his attention on these two figures.
Not far from the southern part of the city is the Hanhai Sea, and due to its proximity to the coastline, the outside of the city wall is almost a damp wilderness. In peacetime, there are no people here, and there are only fishing boats and fish that are moored and dragged ashore by fishermen to dry. Most of these fishermen are ordinary people living in the city.
Now it seems that these two are not just some divine figures, they move quite slowly, and even stop from time to time, as if they are observing something.
With such a cautious appearance, Feng Yuchong couldn't help but be a little suspicious, these two figures were very likely to be the secret agents sent by the Dark Legion, and what they were doing now seemed to be spying on their situation and subordinates.
Witnessing this scene in front of him, Feng Yuchong's right hand was immediately raised high, and he replaced the Soul Wind Feather Fan with his left hand and clenched it. The hundreds of soldiers around him immediately raised their crossbow arrows and aimed them at the positions of the two figures in the distance.
The lack of arrows is not as important as the elimination of these two dark army agents, which Feng Yuchong knows very well, rather than leaving such a hidden danger, it is better to strike first.
The position was relatively close, Feng Yuchong's right hand was about to be put down, and the surrounding soldiers had already pulled the crossbow arrows with their fingers, ready to fire the crossbow arrows in their hands at any time.
At this delicate and tense moment, the two figures were still walking, and their bodies suddenly disappeared from the ground and disappeared.
