Chapter 127: The Eve of War

On the day of the ultimatum of the war, early in the morning, both the enemy and us, whether civilians or generals, were not sleepy and actively prepared for the war.

In Gaochuan City, those who have the ability to escape have already packed their luggage and escaped for miles overnight.

And those who are still waiting are also ready to flee as soon as they are defeated.

As for those who did not have the energy and financial resources to leave their homes, they looked out the window from time to time, clasped their hands and prayed, praying that the war would eventually belong to Takakawa Castle.

Earlier today, a few merchants with their families and wagons pulling a large number of belongings appeared in the direction of the front gate of Gaochuan City, outside a small forest far away.

The road here is the only way to leave Takakawa Castle and head to the east.

One of them said, "Be quiet! I heard that the army of the Qingxia Dynasty is stationed near this road!"

Another person said loudly: "What are you afraid of! We are not chaotic ministers and thieves, we are just ordinary people, and the Qingxia Dynasty will not dare to do anything to us!"

The third person said, "You should be quiet! Although the truth is so, it is better to have more than one thing, and it is best to leave this place as soon as possible..."

"Woo——!"

Suddenly, the horses in front let out a startled cry and came to an emergency halt.

"What's wrong?"

Several merchants looked ahead, and a heavily armored soldier blocked the way.

Immediately after, from the woods on both sides, many light soldiers jumped out in an instant, surrounding them.

"You... What are you going to do!" the merchant asked in horror.

"Take it away!" but the other party was not ready to answer.

Several merchants, along with their families, were forcibly taken to the Qingxia Dynasty's military garrison.

In General Zhang's military tent, several businessmen knelt on the ground with their faces facing the general.

Their wives, children, and parents were pointed at by the soldiers with swords, and if they disagreed, they might be killed.

Under the general's seat, the great butler Jin said flatteringly: "General, I have lived in Gaochuan City for more than seventy years, and I am very familiar with the terrain. ”

"The people inside want to escape, and ordinary people only have this way!"

Then, he turned around again and said angrily to the kneeling merchants: "If you ask you later, you must answer truthfully, otherwise your family's lives will not be guaranteed!"

Although the big housekeeper Jin was old, he roared at people one by one, which scared several businessmen to the point of trembling.

"Big... Don't worry, my lord, we will answer truthfully!"

After the Jin family's performance, the big housekeeper smiled comfortably, since the Jin family fell, he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

Then, Steward Jin turned around and bowed to the general, signaling that everything was ready and the general could ask questions.

General Zhang's majestic voice sounded: "Who are you?"

Several of them wept and said, "We are all ordinary people who do business with a conscience! The general should not put us in the same category as those traitors." ”

Seeing that they were submissive, and there were no spiritual power fluctuations in their bodies, it was not difficult to see whether what these people said was true.

At this time, a soldier in the rear said: "Tell the general, their carriage is indeed full of gold and silver treasures, and there are no dangerous items. ”

Hearing this, the general nodded, convinced of the identities of several people.

"Well, I'll ask you again, why do you want to escape, and the traitors let you get out like this?" the general asked.

A merchant preemptively said: "The Qingxia Dynasty has an army of 100,000, and Gaochuan City has 10,000 heavens, the disparity in strength is huge, how can we be able to fight! We don't want to be affected!"

Another added, "And the new city lord... Oh no, the leader of the traitors, who has been away from the city for a long time, cancels the conscription as soon as he returns, isn't this crazy what, it is clear that he doesn't want to win! Who would dare to stay?!"

"As for the last question you asked, to be honest, although the city gate is tested and registered, it does not prohibit us from dragging our families out of the city, and we don't know why..."

After hearing this, the general bowed his head thoughtfully and fell into deep thought.

His scarred face already looked vicious, but when he thought about it, his brows furrowed, and he looked even more fierce.

Several people were immediately frightened, and hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, what we say is true! There is absolutely no falsehood!"

"We are really just ordinary civilians, and please let us and our families live!"

The general thought for a long time, and finally slowly raised his head, and he said to the soldiers at the door, "Let it go." ”

At this moment, the hanging hearts of the merchants were relieved, and they were sent back to the avenue by the soldiers, but the sacks containing the goods in the carriage were a few points thinner.

"Officers and soldiers, our things... Is there a slip in the camp?" asked the merchant.

The officers and soldiers deliberately raised their voices and said, "Huh, you mean we took your things?"

The merchant hurriedly explained: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just..."

The officers and soldiers didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and reprimanded angrily: "Don't get out of here quickly, be careful to arrest you back again, and be punished as traitors!"

The merchants, who were the opponents of the army, were frightened by such a roar, and they quickly fled.

I can only comfort myself: "Break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, break the wealth and eliminate the disaster..."

......

At the main entrance of Takakawa Castle, on the originally bare ground, a high wall was erected at some point.

The soldiers who came and went all knew that this was Lord Void King, who arranged for an earth spirit magician to build it urgently overnight yesterday, saying that it was to resist the enemy.

This reassures everyone a lot, originally Gaochuan Castle with the terrain advantage of being surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is not much defense at the main gate, and now the only weak point has also built a city wall, which makes people feel more confident.

On the city wall, the Void King Yu Zhang was sitting on a wide chair, and near him, there were many people walking.

There are three ancestors of the Xiao family, Xiao Ying, Xiao Hao, and Xiao Mo.

There are also two patriarchs of the three major families: Goldman Sachs and Wen Ning.

In addition, there are two people, Limei and Yushi.

With the help of the resources provided by the Void Heaven Palace, Xiao Ying, Gao Sheng, and Wen Ning have all been promoted to the realm of high-level Spirit Sects.

And Xiao Mo, who was originally at the peak of the Spirit Sect, although he did not advance to the Spirit King realm, his strength only increased.

With the help of Zhi Lao, his withered body, which was about to be exhausted, had regained its vitality, and it was much younger and more energetic than Xiao Ying, a middle-aged uncle who was getting older and older due to fatigue on the side.

Xiao Ju and Limei were not disappointed, and they both advanced to the realm of middle-level spirit generals.

The two of them already have good talents, coupled with the tragic encounter, their will and belief are far beyond ordinary people, and when they cultivate, they are naturally desperate.

And the rain master is Yu Zhang's favorite, the person with the strongest potential among this group of people here and now.

At a young age, he was in the middle level of the Spirit Sect, and he had the talent of being kissed by the water element elves.

Coupled with Yu Zhang himself, the lineup of the six Spirit Sects and the two Spirit Generals, wherever they are placed, they are all overlords.

With the combined efforts of these eight people, I am afraid that the Spirit King will all be defeated.

But compared with the absolute strength of the Qingxia Dynasty, it seems to be more than a star and a half behind.

First of all, a great general of unknown strength but the strongest.

The three spirit king-level city lords of the three eastern cities such as Jintang City.

The three Spirit Sect-level city lords of the three cities in the west.

And the vast army of 100,000......

In front of such a large number of armies, even the Spirit King died tragically on the front line.

Not to mention the existence of some joint spirit techniques and spirit arrays, if every soldier in the 100,000 army alone consumes a little spiritual power of the Spirit King to solve it, if it is consumed like this, the Spirit Emperor will not be able to eat and walk around.

Generally speaking, in the face of absolute numbers, it is difficult to win no matter how strong you are.

But there are many wonders in the world, and all kinds of strange spiritual tricks emerge one after another.

With some psychic qualities, you can single-handedly face a large number of armies.

And Yu Zhang looked at the sky from time to time, waiting for such a great power.
