Chapter Seventy-Eight—The Holy Emperor Turns Against Water
Qin Yue's urgent letter had already reached the hands of the Holy Emperor who was still in the city, and after seeing this distress letter sent by Qin Yue, the Holy Emperor immediately issued the highest imperial order, mobilizing the main force of the Fengzhan Society in the city to immediately return to the aid of Zhongcheng. Although he knew quite well in his heart that just by relying on the current attack of 50,000 allied troops, it was possible to directly pose any threat to Zhongcheng that was worthy of attention, but he still had to return to Zhongcheng.
The main reason is that in fact, the Holy Emperor has never said it to others, whether it is his most trusted henchman or any member of the Dark Legion, this matter has always been buried deep in the Holy Emperor's heart and cannot be said to others. Among them, the most critical reason is the main problem he is now pursuing. The dark evil god nominally borrowed his body, but in fact, he gradually washed away the Holy Emperor's own will in a subtle way. Now, even if the Saint Emperor is temporarily out of the control of the Dark Evil God, his current soul and will have been stripped of a little disordered, in fact, now that his soul has been broken, the most essential part has become the most critical nourishment obtained by the Dark Evil God to reshape his body. This also fundamentally illustrates another thing, that is, the original plan of the Dark Evil God has changed from directly controlling the body of the Saint Emperor to directly extracting the soul and physical essence of the Saint Emperor to reshaping a puppet that is generally quite simple and conducive to his own direct control.
However, this incident has directly made the Holy Emperor recognize the true face of the Dark Evil God and the entire Dark Legion, they are nominally here to help him deal with the Qi Kingdom and the Departure Country, but in fact, the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent is the enemy of their Dark Legion, and the Dark Legion intends to take this opportunity to directly destroy the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, or directly turn this continent into their base camp for conquering the worlds. All in all, the Dark Legion would never help any of the forces on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, and what they were doing now was for their own benefit, in order to conquer the realms. Whether it was his Saint Emperor, or the entire feudal country, or even the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, it was just a pawn used by the Dark Legion.
It is precisely because of this that the Holy Emperor does not continue to keep any illusions and hopes for everything now, and now this guild city is no longer of much use value to him, if he wants to get out of the control of the dark evil god, he must return to his most critical place, that is, his old lair - Zhongcheng and Dream City, and only when he returns to there can he find a way to fight against the dark army. Otherwise, sooner or later he would die without a place to bury himself and become a puppet of the Dark Legion, something he could not accept now in any case.
After the withdrawal of the main army of the Huicheng, the Holy Emperor left 15,000 troops to be stationed in the Huicheng City, even though he was wary of the Dark Legion in his heart, he would not easily let go of the vested interests that were about to be obtained. Now this city is a city that may be in his hands in the future, and there are still some people from the Qi country who live here, which is also the most worthy of fighting for the population now, and he will not give it up so easily. Therefore, the Holy Emperor still left a confidant general and entrusted him with the important task of commanding the fifteen thousand troops to guard the city and prevent accidents.
When the Holy Emperor led the main force of the Sealing War Society to evacuate, the situation that was smoothly dealing with the situation had already happened, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, who were already waiting in the city, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao, the six young people, have already carried out according to the original plan they made to explore what happened in the previous battle to defend the city, although most of the people in the city continue to live here, but both the rules of life and the peace and comfort in life have been broken by the war, and now the materials in the city are also quite scarce, and the lives of every family have fallen into a relatively bleak situation.
Fortunately, when Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing controlled the city before, they still took the lead in preparing the food and material reserves in every household in a relatively complete state, although the defense of the city was quite tragic, whether it was Feng Baiyi Xia Qing or most of the soldiers of the Qi State had been martyred. But most of the people lived relatively comfortably, at least not from the impact of the army. After the army of the Sealed War Society and the Dark Legion captured the city, they also focused on pacification, and did not want to kill these people.
The Holy Emperor and the Feng Zhan Guild thought, the population here is the most important strategic material in the future, and the population is one of the most important guarantees for the future productivity, and the number of people gathered in the city is actually nearly one-third of the population of the Qi country, which is a very important population and key things, and they naturally have to work hard to control it in their own hands.
And what the Dark Legion and the Dark Evil God think is that these populations can be used as an important source to supplement the ordinary humanoid soldiers of their Dark Legion, and now that their forces are going north for the time being anyway to deal with the current flying and domineering departures, it is better to temporarily hand over this city to the Holy Emperor and the Feng Zhan Society to garrison troops, so that the Holy Emperor's distrust of them can be temporarily weakened; The Dark Evil God has always been thoughtful and premeditated, his plans and premeditations will never be so simple and easy for others to figure out, the Dark Evil God who has always had far-reaching premeditations, and now the situation he is looking forward to is that all the forces on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent will join forces in one fell swoop and dispatch all their armies to fight against their dark legions, so they will not waste time here.
......
In the city of Huicheng, the current garrison of the city is the Holy Emperor's henchman Ding Yu, although Ding Yu's martial arts are not outstanding, but his strategy and planning is second to none in the sealing battle, and the Holy Emperor did not expect that there would be a large-scale battle now, so he let Ding Yu lead 15,000 troops to garrison here, basically should be foolproof.
At this time, in the Huicheng County Ya, Ding Yu was deploying the army to carry out the plan he had prepared to appease the people, the Holy Emperor left in a hurry, and most of the things he wanted to complete were handed over to Ding Yu to complete, Ding Yu was more thoughtful, he was able to keenly capture the Holy Emperor's expectations for other issues in this matter, and he knew that the many Qi people who were left in this Huicheng were the most important population resources in the future of their Sealing War Society. What he had to do now, to do his best to stabilize this force under the command of their Sealed War Society, was what was important now.
In order to implement this plan, he ordered 5,000 troops to temporarily patrol and defend the city to guard against possible enemy troops, and the other 10,000 troops entered the homes of every household in the city in batches to calm the people's hearts, not only to persuade them to relax their lives, but also to impress these honest people with the benefits promised by the Holy Emperor. At this time, there were only dozens of guards around him, and he simply sent the defenders near the county office to stabilize the morale of the army in the city.
Ding Yu couldn't have imagined that Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao, the six young people who had already been hiding in the Huicheng City and waiting for the Holy Emperor to return to the Zhongcheng City and start to act, had already set their sights on his current county office, and the six young people who were temporarily hiding in the people's homes had already asked the current garrison leader of the Huicheng from the mouths of the people and the patrol soldiers, and learned that the number of guards around him was quite scarce, and he was almost in a state of defense. The six young people decided to use this Ding Yu as a breakthrough to carry out their project.
Ding Yuzheng was looking through the classics in his hand in the hall of the county office, including the silver and grain stocks that were originally left in the city, plus other military equipment storage, which were quite important resources. Ding Yu is thoughtful, and he is known for his wisdom in the Sealing War Society, so he naturally will not let go of any opportunity to control the Huicheng.
Although the soldiers in the field came and went, in fact, everywhere seemed extremely quiet, and the rare leisure was especially found in this county office. However, Ding Yu didn't think about anything else, and he didn't think there was anything strange about such quietness. As everyone knows, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Nangong Yun, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao, the six young people who had already secretly killed his guards and sneaked here, had already approached him.
Of course, Ding Yu is also a martial arts practitioner after all, although his martial arts are not superb, but in fact his observation and meticulous judgment are still there, he keenly heard the swift figure that flashed like lightning, he hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand, and turned to look out of the crumbling window vigilantly, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, he immediately turned around and pulled out the sword from the place hanging on the wall, the blade of the sword pointed straight at the window, and shouted: "Who is coming?"
As soon as the words fell, Ding Yu only felt a cold aura surging behind him, a cold blade had silently pressed against his fragile neck, and Nangong Yun's cold voice sounded coldly, "If you don't want to die, you'd better be honest." ”
Ding Yu was so shocked that his hands and feet were cold, he only dared to turn around and take his sword after carefully looking around at the window, just at the moment of turning around like this, the woman actually appeared directly behind him silently, and had already put the weapon in her hand on her neck, how did she do it?
Nangong Yun didn't intend to explain too much to Ding Yu, and they didn't have enough time to talk about other issues with the governor of the Sealed War Society, they urgently needed to learn the most crucial things directly from him. At this time, Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan, Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao also jumped into this county government from the window, Ding Yu's eyes became even more unbelievable, he can be regarded as a well-informed person, he can see something unusual from the glimmer of light on the soles of these six young people's feet, this, is this the legendary, the soul cultivator?
