Chapter 5: The Stars Scatter
Originally, everyone's action this time was to sneak into the territory of the beast clan, meet the co-owner of the beast clan, the king of the sun, assist him in solving the problem, and fight against the demon clan together, seeing that the beast clan could not be supported to become a separation zone between humans and demons, but halfway through, they got the news that the king of the sun was now assassinated and fled, and he was missing, and all the beast leaders fell into the hands of the demon clan, so that everyone muttered in their hearts, most of this operation was canceled, and it ended without a problem.
Looking at the strange appearance of the former beast lord Sha Ri Na King, as the elite of the human race, everyone felt very strange, and it was not appropriate to say more at this time, leaving only two people to guard outside, and the rest of the people moved back to the house one after another, assisting the injured to deal with their injuries, and at the same time inquiring about the specific situation.
Sima Buping's injuries were extremely serious, but most of them were flesh wounds, and they did not hurt his muscles and bones. As the first team of the Shattered Star Cluster, he came over in the bloody rain and bloody wind in the Hundred Clans War, his rich experience in fighting demons is not comparable to ordinary generals and ordinary masters, from the depths of the beast territory, the demon clan broke out layer by layer, more than ten bloody battles before and after, although his injuries did not accumulate, but he never hurt his muscles and bones, and always maintained continuous combat effectiveness.
However, a deep claw mark behind him was really shocking, and it was the root cause of his great decline. This seems to be the shot of the Demon Venerable or the Beast Venerable, and when he hit, he was blocked by something, and his power was weakened a lot, if not, he should have died tragically.
“...... Fortunately, His Majesty has blocked the sun for me, otherwise I would not have come back this time. ”
Sima Buping sighed: "This time, I was ordered by the commander of the martial arts to secretly enter the beast territory, meet Your Majesty, and consult the two sides on the next comprehensive cooperation matters, in the past few years, we have secretly sent envoys back and forth many times......
As Wu Cangni's deputy, what Sima Buping said at the moment was an absolute secret, and in order to avoid suspicion, the king of the sun even deliberately let it aside.
Everyone listened to Sima Buping speak, and the feeling in their chests couldn't help but be a little weird, because he called His Majesty, which is of course a respect for the king of Shari, this beast king ascended to the sky and preached, and he was the co-master of the beast clan, so he deserved this honorific title, but now the federation is no longer an empire, the highest position is the chairman of the federation, and there is no emperor, and even within the whole country, except for the "dark emperor" Long Jintao, there is no emperor title, and suddenly there is a beast Majesty, listening to everyone's ears, it feels very strange.
Because of his identity, Dragon Kill has been close to the power core of the Federation in recent years, and he knows more than the rest of the people, and since the moment the Li Empire completely collapsed and reorganized the Federation five years ago, the relationship with the Orcs has been a dilemma for the Federation.
In the past, when the Hundred Races War, the demons united with the orcs and beat the Terrans quite miserably, and later one of the keys to the Shattered Star Cluster was to successfully separate, rebel and force the Orcs, and finally it was the Orcs and the Terrans who united regardless of their previous suspicions, which successfully repelled the invading demons, this time the demons returned to the Origin Realm, if the Terrans remembered the lessons of the past, the most important thing to do was to immediately reconnect with the Orcs and fight against the demons, not to mention, the one who planned to do this at the beginning is the one who is now the chairman of the Federation.
However, even if you know that the truth is so, it is still difficult to really realize it, first of all, this time is different from the past, during the war of the hundred races, that person directly took action to completely ban the immortals, Buddhas, gods and ghosts, and the Terran wanted to seek allies, in addition to unifying their own Terran forces as much as possible, they could only pull the beast clan over to fight the demons.
But this time, the Fengshentai was shattered, and the Buddha Realm and the Immortal Realm also had room to intervene, each using the inheritance to penetrate the power into the Origin Realm, and the human race wanted to seek allies, just holding the hands of the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism was enough, and it was not the embarrassment of being isolated and helpless during the war of the Hundred Races.
Moreover, after the end of the Hundred Clans War, the orcs first became the main external trouble of the empire, and everyone had just broken their heads and bloodshed over the years, and in the blink of an eye, they had to smile and hug and talk about peace, which seemed to be ...... It's too blunt and emotionally hard to accept.
Later, after the demon returned to the world, the offensive launched was very fierce, coupled with the threat of the ghost soldiers, the Federation was really tired, so it couldn't care about the affairs of the beast clan, and could only be swallowed by the demon clan on the beast leader, but it was always helpless, so that there was finally today's situation.
However, although the Federation has not directly carried out relevant actions, it does not mean that no one in the human race has done it, as far as Dragon Kill knows, there have always been people who have not given up the plan of uniting the beast clan to control the demons over the years, and continue to invest resources and carry out it silently, among which the highest practical power is now the head of the Principality, "Tiannan Wufeng" Wu Cangni.
In the past five years, Wu Cangni has used the friendship of cooperation in the past to maintain contact with the secret envoys sent by the king of Shari, hoping to maintain a friendly force for the human race among the beast clans, and even have the opportunity to reproduce Wei Shibi's original plan to completely win over the beast clans...... After all, it was a waste of effort.
“...... Your Majesty, as the leader of the alliance promoted by the beast clan, has a good impression of our human race, and intends to cooperate, in the past few years, he has not been treated by the demon clan, and the power is very suppressed, and the beast lord and beast king who are friendly with him are often called by the demon clan to reprimand, humiliate, and after being provoked, they will be cut off for some reason, so as to weaken Your Majesty's power......"
Sima Buping said: "This time I was ordered to infiltrate the beast collar joint, originally His Majesty was going to make a decision, accept our assistance, and officially form an alliance with the human race to fight against the demon race, hoping to reproduce the script of the original war of the hundred clans, expel the demons, I don't want the demon clan to strike first, and send the demon clan to lead the team to attack and kill at night, we were caught off guard, almost killed, and fled all the way here......"
Everyone was silent, although it was the first time that most of them had come into contact with this kind of military affairs, but they could also hear that the demon clan was ruthless and decided, and it happened to fall at the most critical node.
The demon clan is so strong, as a human race, anyone feels as if the dark clouds are covering the top, and there is an indescribable heavy pressure, which is coming from the sky, and I don't know which day, it will fall on my head.
In the past five years, the Fengshentai has been broken, the demons have returned to the world, and there has been friction between the Federation from time to time, although because the two worlds of the immortals and Buddhas have also intervened this time, it is not easy to act rashly, and there has been no large-scale conquest on both sides, but the skirmishes are continuous, and the elders of each family are all about how the demons ravaged the world during the war of the hundred clans in the past, and how dark the life of the human race is, and they take the trouble to tell the younger generations, over and over again, and the ears mention their lives.
The atmosphere among the human race today is different from the previous war at the end of the war, when the new empire was established, everyone was happy, thinking that the demons would never come back, and the Qingping and prosperous times were in front of them.
Today's beast clan may be the human race of other dynasties, at this point, people can't help but have the sad feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox, and only at this time, people will be particularly nostalgic for those heroes in the past wars.
The Shattered Star Cluster, which has now fallen apart with the turn of the four martial gods and completely become a vestige of the past, shines again at this moment, and whenever the elders tell about the tragic situation of the human race in the Great War of the Hundred Races, the new generation who listen to the story will always naturally ask about the heroes who fought off the invading demons in the first place.
...... Since you can repel it once, you can repel it a second time.
...... Now that the demons are back, where are the heroes who fought away the demons now?
...... Why are they nowhere to be seen now? Can't they be asked to contribute to the Terrans and go back to the battlefield? Although heroes are inevitably dying, the war of the Hundred Races is not so far away, and at this moment when the survival of the Terran is in danger, why don't the heroes who are still alive come out?
Whenever someone asks this question, the elders fall into an awkward silence and then helplessly tell the juniors that those heroes ...... It's gone.
The group that once shouted "Soil chickens and dogs, can shatter stars", the group that has repeatedly created miracles and led the human race to expel demons in the questioning of the sect world, the group that was betrayed in the imperial capital and destroyed overnight, but it came back after a few years of hibernation, and the group that swallowed mountains and rivers has now completely collapsed, and the four great martial gods are even more missing and missing, and the defective ones are unable to return together to resist the demons.
As a new generation of people, they have always been curious about the taboo history that is always ominous in the mouths of their elders, obviously so legendary, but the traces left are so rare, they can only hear about it in the mouths of their elders, and want to know more, but they can't find either information or relevant people to inquire about, and now ...... One seems to have appeared.
Long Qingwan asked cautiously, "General Sima, ...... you Was you a member of the Shattered Star Cluster?"
This is actually knowingly asked, once the three words of the Broken Star Cluster were taboo in the Empire, and when its members were wantonly hunted, this man was named Sima Luping and was a minor officer in the Northwest, but then with the Imperial Period, the only Wu Cangni who retreated from the Broken Star Cluster shone brightly, and when the Broken Star Cluster regained after the Battle of the Imperial Capital, he also used his real name openly, returned to the first team, and made many achievements, and now the members of the Broken Star Cluster known to the world, in addition to the original leaders, belong to him and several other deputy captains.
Sima Buping turned his head to look at the girl, took the wound medicine she handed over, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "There has been no broken star cluster for a long time, the leaders are all gone, and the rest of the people are falling apart, running and scattering, if it weren't for the martial arts handsome holding the flag, it would have been a joke a long time ago......"
Long Qingwan was puzzled: "But, as everyone knows, it was Wu Shuai himself who announced the dissolution of the Shattered Star Cluster at the beginning!"
Five years ago, after the four great martial gods turned their faces and left, Wu Cangni, who became the head of the Shattered Star Cluster, ordered the disbandment of the Shattered Star Cluster, and all the members of the Shattered Star Cluster, whether they returned overseas or stayed in the country, they all compensated each other for their hard work during this period of time.
The members of the disbanded Shattered Star Cluster are all sought-after goods, those second-generation mercenaries who were born overseas, all of them can fight and are accustomed to fighting, and they are all fierce people who have been trained in life and death on the battlefield, and the major families and sects are eager for it, as for the few first-generation members who have experienced the war of the hundred races, it is a common treasure of the human race today, no matter where they go, they will be offered high by that force, with the help of their experience and insight, to guide the era of demon chaos that has come.
However, most of these members of the first generation were disheartened after experiencing a series of ups and downs, except for a small number of people who chose to continue to follow Wu Cangni and serve in the Tiger Army, and a very small number of them joined the Fengdao Alliance, and most of the rest changed their names and surnames and fled into the mountains and forests, trying to find a moment of peace in this troubled world.
In order to recruit talents, the Cangming Long family spent a lot of money, and also invited some members of the Broken Star Cluster to serve as family offerings, but they were all members of the second generation, Long Qingwan and the younger generation of the clan often heard some overseas anecdotes from their mouths, but they also knew limited about the secrets of the Broken Star Cluster back then.
"I heard what your people said......" Long Qingwan said: "At that time, after Wu Shuai took over the Shattered Star Cluster, the members of the group expected her to take on the overall situation and revive the prestige of the Shattered Star, but she insisted on disbanding the team and driving people away, leaving only a small part of her own forces that were friendly with her, and many members of the group were very indignant......
Long Qingwan said, the Long family next to him all nodded, and when those broken stars were offered to recount their memories, they were all present, and they saw the indignation and helplessness of the worshippers with their own eyes.
"Nonsense!"
Sima Buping heard the words and slammed his knife to the ground, exerting a lot of force, and some scabbed wounds on his body ruptured and bleeding again, but he didn't realize it, and said: "Wu Shuai has to stand up and clean up this mess, she ...... Only by doing this can we give everyone a broader future...... The flag of the Shattered Star Cluster had been hanging in her room, and she would look at it for a long time every day, and she was actually ...... More than anyone else, I would be reluctant to shatter the star cluster......"
"That'...... Why did she ......"
“...... Because this is the only thing she can do for the mountain...... What Wen Shuai did. ”
