Chapter 81: The Aftermath of the War (I)
Xiao Tiangang was not dead, and when he was buried, he found that he still had half a breath.
It turned out that the three of them paid a huge price for the release of the Voldemort, and the three of them were exhausted of their strength and lost a lot of essence and blood.
After that, Xiao Tiangang forcibly mobilized the remaining strength to cut off his heart, but he was helpless, and just fainted.
For this move, everyone sighed. After this incident, those surrendered troops were completely subdued.
King Lu Yu Xiao Tiangang had a great kindness, he was resolute in his death, and when he found that he was still alive, he was very annoyed, he didn't eat or drink, and Shang Zhengwu Ling's persuasion was ineffective.
In the end, Shangguan Feng came forward and said a place called the City of the Living Dead, and Xiao Tiangang calmed down.
This city of the living dead is famous in Kyushu, and it is mysterious and abnormal.
There are people with heads and faces in Kyushu, and everyone knows that it is located in the city of the living dead in the far north of Kyushu.
For thousands of years, the city was a place of exile for sinners, left to fend for themselves in the ice fields. Later, from time to time, ice beasts attacked Yanzhou, and the city became a stronghold against foreign beasts.
The war in Kyushu continued, and there were always some heroes of the end of the road, heroic heroes, who lost in the struggle for power and refused to surrender, and the victors were unwilling to kill them, so someone came up with a way to send these people to the city of the living dead.
These people have made a vow that they will never step out of the City of the Living Dead in this life, and will live in that bitter cold place for the rest of their lives.
These people are dead, and there is no difference between living and dying, and over time, they are called the living dead.
These people are either good at fighting, or they are extremely intelligent, or they are strong in martial arts, or they are clever in their rejuvenation, or they are ingenious, in short, these people are outstanding.
As more and more people are sent to the City of the Living Dead, the City of the Living Dead grows stronger and stronger.
In the process of resisting the ice beasts for a long time, a powerful army has been tempered.
At this time, the strength of this city of the living dead is beyond imagination.
Fortunately, despite its strength, the City of the Living Dead has never fulfilled its oath and has been guarding the North Ice Plain with peace of mind for nearly a thousand years.
Regardless of the changes in Kyushu, it stands proudly on the ice field, which has a bit of transcendence!
A thousand years ago, the only way to reach the City of the Living Dead was to go to the Far North on your own. Kyushu is thousands of miles wide, and it is difficult to get there.
A thousand years ago, the City of the Living Dead suddenly claimed to have nine access points outside. As long as they reach the designated contact point, someone will lead them to the City of the Living Dead.
For Xiao Tiangang now, this City of the Living Dead is extremely suitable for him, and when he gets there, it is no different from dying.
Shang Zheng Wu Ling also wanted to go with him, but he sternly refused.
Xiao Tiangang failed to King Lu, but Shang Zheng and Wu Ling served because they were brothers, so it can be said that they served Xiao Tiangang, not King Lu. Therefore, it is understandable that the two of them surrendered.
Only a few months later, Xiao Tiangang recovered from his injuries and went to the pick-up point in Jiaozhou.
Xiao Tiangang's matter came to an end, and Jiayuan City started a new journey.
In the battle of Jiayuan City, the defenders suffered more than 3,000 casualties and the attackers suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Countless siege equipment such as boulder carts, well fence carts, and ballista carts were captured.
Especially the tortoiseshell shield, the defense is amazing, Shangguan Feng proposed that it can be trained into a shield array, so that it is more flexible and changeable, can attack, retreat can defend, and can also trap the enemy.
After a few days of statistics, in addition to the few thousand people who escaped, a total of about 30,000 troops were reduced, plus the two generals of Shang Zhengwu Ling, Ma Yun's strength has been greatly improved.
In addition, there is also the Voldemort Beast controlled by the Blood Jade Demon Bone, Jiayuan City can defend and defeat the enemy army, this Voldemort Beast is a great contribution.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Voldemort is completely worthy of thousands of troops. In the future, he can easily break through the city gate by releasing the Voldemort Beast, and this beast is the biggest killer weapon in his hands.
Through the mysterious induction with Voldemort, Ma Yun felt Voldemort's thirst for blood, so he ordered a large amount of animal blood to be purchased in the city, and poured animal blood every day so that Voldemort could keep quiet.
The only shortcoming was that the seized grain and grass were less heavy. Xiao Tiangang made preparations for a quick battle, so he only brought two months of military rations.
The next top priority is to raise military rations, 30,000 troops, and the food needed is not a small number. There were a million taels of silver and gold in the treasury, but there was no food to buy.
What gave Ma Yun a headache was that a few days had passed, but his injuries had not improved much.
In order to take the blood jade demon bones and be sucked dry of the essence and blood of his body, he has taken a lot of elixirs in the past few days, and he only has the strength to walk.
If it weren't for his special physique, the mysterious energy cultivated by the Rejuvenation Technique had a strong recovery ability, and if he was a bystander, he wouldn't even have the strength to sit up.
Originally, it was expected that the rest would be able to recover in a few months, but now it seems that it may not be enough.
What's even more troublesome is that after losing the essence and blood, even the rejuvenation technique is cultivated very slowly, and the effect is not as good as one-tenth of that on weekdays.
And the essence blood is insufficient, and the effect of the mysterious energy is much worse, at this time he is no different from ordinary people, if there is another killer attack, he can only sit and wait for death.
In addition to Ma Yun, Qin Ming and the madman were also seriously injured.
On that day, Qin Ming was hit in the chest by Shang Zheng, but fortunately, there was black iron armor on the outside and magic silver soft armor on the inside, so he did not die, but the injury was not light. I haven't been able to get up for a few days.
Besides, on that day the madman was seriously injured by the Voldemort Beast, fell to the ground, and was trampled in the melee, thanks to this man's profound skills, he saved his breath, and later took a lot of elixirs, and after a while, it should be fine.
Qi City, Lu Wangfu study.
King Lu, who has always been calm, was furious at this time.
"Of the 50,000 troops, less than 5,000 people fled back, and the rest either died or surrendered. What happened, this king really couldn't figure out. King Lu looked like crazy, his chest rose and fell, and he held back the anger in his heart.
"Back... Back to the prince, the thief leader is really powerful, not only killed the helper you sent, but also controlled the giant beast released by Xiao Dashuai, and his subordinates couldn't figure it out. Ding Jianjun knelt on the ground, trembling.
But it is said that this Ding Jian Jun and Ma Yun are also fated, first went up the mountain to lobby, and then accompanied the army to fight repeatedly, and escaped several times, and he is also an interesting person.
"What a handsome Xiao, what an unrighteous person!" The betrayal of Xiao Tiangang and the three made King Lu angry.
"Lord Wang, the three of them maybe... Maybe it's pretending to surrender?" said Ding Jianjun cautiously.
It seems that they did not know about Xiao Tiangang's suicide and apology, and the deserters only heard the order to surrender that day.
"Pretend to surrender?" King Lu frowned, revealing a contemplative expression.
"Lord Wang, there are only a few thousand guards in Jiayuan City, how can you eat 30,000 troops. What's more, this expedition only brought two months of grain and grass, and after two months, the soldiers had no food, and there would be trouble, and the three of them could take the opportunity to make trouble and take Jiayuan City. ”
I have to say that Ding Jianjun's analysis is very reasonable, if it weren't for Shangguan Feng to persuade Xiao Tiangang and the three to sincerely surrender, Ma Yun would have to face many uncertain situations.
"Ghost Ce, what do you think?" King Lu looked at Ghost Ce who was standing aside.
"Lord Wang, what Ding Jianjun said is reasonable. Maybe it's Xiao Tiangang's expediency. The Tsing Yi ghost, who had been bowing his head and not saying a word, rolled his eyes a few times.
Although the ghost strategy is resourceful, he really can't understand the three of them's actions to join the enemy.
"If that's the case, then why don't you send a letter to me? King Lu's eyes showed a fierce light.
"Lord Wang, the time may not have come, so as to confuse the enemy. Ding Jianjun hurriedly said.
"Then the king will wait for two months to see if it is a real or false fall. 30,000 troops will be surrendered, and it will take two months to subdue it. Ordered Tong'an Yongchang City to strengthen precautions, and report immediately as soon as there is a disturbance. You two go down. "This King Lu also has some bearing, such a big defeat, just a few words of reprimand and let it go.
Ghost Ce and Ding Jian Jun were relieved and hurriedly retreated.
"The two of them don't know martial arts, and they don't know how powerful that person is. How did that person defeat your two junior brothers, even if this king made a move, it would take some means. And the method of driving the Voldemort Beast, you taught Xiao Tiangang, how did that person crack it?" After the two went out, King Lu became very calm.
"According to my junior brother, that person's martial arts are indeed very high, but he has never reached the innate realm. It's just that that person is carrying treasures, invincible to poison, and has a short sword in his hand to defeat the poisonous servant, which can extract the power in the poisonous servant's body. Moreover, there were two masters beside the man, one of them was stupid, but he was able to defeat the poisonous servant after the madness, and the other was extremely swordsmanship, and he was by no means an idle person. This person has been seriously injured by the poisonous servant, and he can still crack the method of controlling beasts later, so it seems that this person should know the evil arts. "There was a fluctuating sound in the darkness.
"Evil arts? If you talk about evil arts, the Southern Wu Clan should be called the first. How could he be defeated by this person. ”
"That man must have relied on the power of treasures. There are some treasures, the power is amazing, the prince should know. ”
"Oh, how rare such treasures are, I've only heard of them, but I've never seen them. If this king can get one, he can also have more confidence. Speaking of treasures, King Lu's face showed a little expectation.
"Lord Wang, in addition to the treasures of that person, I think he may have immortal roots. ”
"Immortal Root!" King Lu was actually shocked.
"Lord Wang, people with immortal roots can cultivate internal qi much faster than ordinary people, so that they have a better chance of cultivating to the innate realm, just like you, Lord Wang. That man is young, his martial arts are so high, and he can command treasures, so I made this speculation. I don't have immortal roots, and there is little hope of stepping into this life. But I once peeked at the secret book of the Southern Wu Clan's poisonous servant branch, which recorded that if a person with immortal roots was refined into a poisonous servant, the poisonous servant would have a chance to enter the innate realm. ”
"The immortal root is ethereal, and there is no way to know whether there is an immortal root or not. King Lu sighed.
"Lord Wang, according to the records of the Southern Wu Clan's secret codex, the immortal root does exist, and it can be detected with a secret treasure. There are not many people in the world who have immortal roots, and even fewer can learn the profound internal strength and mental method, and there are only a handful of people who can reach the innate realm. ”
"Although this king has reached the innate realm, he has no immortal trick to refine his internal strength. In front of those people, vulnerable. Speaking of this, King Lu was very annoyed.
"Lord Wang, the immortal recipes of Kyushu are all in the hands of those people, and they are not passed on. This poisonous servant technique of the Southern Wu clan is the first half step of the immortal trick. It's a pity that this immortal recipe is a method of refining corpses, and it is of no great use to people. It is said that the Zhongzhou Tiejia got an immortal recipe that year, which also led to the disaster of annihilation. ”
"The king has heard of this. Although the Tie family is rich and rivals the country, its talents have withered over the years, and there is no innate master in the family, and it all depends on those foreign offerings. The head of the Tie family didn't know where to get this immortal recipe, and let the children of the family practice, trying to cultivate their own innate masters, but unfortunately the news leaked and was wiped out. King Lu shook his head.
"That man is no longer to be underestimated, and it will take some effort to get rid of him. However, if he kills the poisonous servants of my two junior brothers, and kills another junior brother, the Southern Wu Clan will not be able to give up. The voice in the darkness turned sharply and returned to Ma Yun.
"This is very good, and the king is still worried about how to get rid of this person. In this way, it seems that it will be eliminated by the hand of Nanwu. ”
"Then I will order my junior brother to return to the clan and bring back the news of this person. Whether it's the treasure of restraining the poisonous servants, or the immortal root, I don't think those elders will be without interest. ”
"It's just a pity for the treasure. King Lu sighed lightly.
Just when King Lu was plotting with the ghost, Ma Yun, who was thousands of miles away, looked at Wen Wan'er, who was angry in front of him, full of helplessness.
