Chapter Seventy-One: The Tumult

Abandoning the boat calendar 223 years, the seventeenth month of the lunar month. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qin Town, the town lord's pavilion.

Frank looked at the Xuanwu Domain map sitting in the conference hall, staring at the map on the table, his expression was changing, and there was a bag in his right palm that kept rummaging, as if he was not in a relaxed mood.

It had been two days since this bag was in his hands, and he was no stranger to the person who sent it to Qin Zhen, it was the sergeant he assigned to Guan Xin's troops, the survivor of the Qin Zhen Challenge.

The sergeant brought not only a bag, but also a word.

"The change of defense line is imminent, and the tips will be opened at that time!"

After listening to the sergeant's description of the speaker, the speaker was a woman named Sedona, and seemed to have a close relationship with Guan Xin, but her true identity was unknown.

But Frank didn't delve into this, because he knew that nine times out of ten the unidentified woman was related to the arrangement left by Chang Mingqi, or rather, Qiao Ximing's arrangement.

It was for these two days that he was always preoccupied, waiting for the so-called change.

The news of the reappearance of the beast tide and Guan Xin's southward movement Frank also knew very well that as a veteran with decades of military experience, he could estimate the danger of Guan Xin's trip in his heart, however, he could not provide any support.

Troops above the first-level town and city are not allowed to cross the first-level defense line at will, this is a military order that was lowered from the imperial capital a month ago, which is also the reason why the four troops sent by the Xuanwu Domain to stop the tide of barbarian beasts are all hovering in the first-level defense line, and Guan Xin's southward movement has actually violated this military rule.

Because of this, Frank did not have any legitimate reason to send reinforcements to Qinguan Town, after all, although he was the mayor of Qinzhen, the Qin and Du families, especially Qin Yulin, still controlled a large part of the power, if Frank made any moves, he would definitely be stopped by the two families, even the Du family was no exception.

After all, today's Du family does not completely belong to Du Tianwen.

"Change is coming...... What does that woman mean by change?"

......

At the same time, the southwest point of the first-level defense line of the Xuanwu Domain.

"You're lazy again!"

One of the sergeants shoved his dozing companion next to him, and his tone was slightly playful.

The companion stretched lazily and yawned back again and again: "What are you afraid of, we are not a low-level town, what real danger will there be? You must know that the high-level brute beast has not crossed the first-level defense line of the empire for nearly a hundred years!"

"Hey, you have to make a show anyway, otherwise you will see it to the captain, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

The companion snorted disdainfully: "The captain knows the situation here better than us, do you think he will care so much? At this hour, he is afraid that he will go back to sleep a long time ago!"

The two chatted with each other, and they didn't see the slightest vigilance.

Suddenly, one of the sergeants casually looked at the endless yellow earth below the tower, raised an eyebrow, and then reached out and rubbed his own eyes.

"Well, did you see that?"

"What's that?"

"Don't you think the soil over there seems to be moving?"

The companion looked in the direction he pointed, and his expression didn't care at first, but when he looked closely, the dirt in that direction was really moving, and it was not a simple movement, but a large amount of dirt churned out, extending a ridge of several feet wide!

"That's, that's ......"

Bang!

Torrents of earth shot out of the ground and crushed the tower.

The faces of the two sergeants turned pale in an instant.

"Beast, beast general!"

A sergeant reacted and immediately slapped his backhand on the siren next to him.

Knock knock knock!

The sound of a guard resounded throughout the defensive point.

......

Qilin Imperial Capital, Houqing Palace.

The solemn and quiet atmosphere in the forbidden city was broken by a figure, this person with a red fox mask on his face, walked quickly into the main hall, and finally stopped nine feet in front of the emperor's throne and knelt on the ground.

"Emperor Yu, the first-level line of defense, has been touched!"

The majestic figure on the throne did not move at all, but his eyes suddenly opened, and two sudden rays of light burst out, which made an invisible pressure suddenly appear in the main hall.

"Where?"

The figure on the ground raised his head slightly: "Xuanwu Domain, southwest direction, is the breath of the beast general, and the number of senses is four. ”

"Xuanwu Domain ......" The Abandoned Boat Emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and his voice was low: "The tide of barbarian beasts over there belongs to the demon clan and the spirit clan?"

"Yes, the Great Emperor! The leader is the third son of the Demon Emperor, Demon Zunyu, and the Spirit Clan's Lingwu Yuan. ”

"Demon Zun Yu, Lingwu Yuan...... Are they trying to start a war in advance?"

The people on the ground shook their heads: "It should have nothing to do with them, the minister has investigated their whereabouts, and they are not close to the first-level defense line at present, but in a second-level town and city in the south."

The hall fell silent for a while.

After a long time, the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat finally spoke: "Fox Head, what do you suggest?"

The fox-faced man stood up and said two words.

"Troops!"

The Emperor was silent and did not ask, but the fox head understood that this was for him to explain, so he continued: "This is not the first time that the defense line has been touched, although the time limit of the entente has not yet arrived, but just like the brute beasts are raging in the second line of the empire, as long as we do not launch a general attack, we will not violate the agreement." But if we don't attack, even this touch will only be an accident, and the same reaction twice will only make the brute beasts feel that we are showing weakness, and when the time comes, they may really tear up the agreement in advance!"

Looking at the eyes in the fox head mask, the Great Emperor said slowly: "You should know that if we do it, it will lead to the results!"

The fox head nodded: "The minister knows, but the minister also knows that this battle is inevitable, if we show weakness in advance, the final result will be the same!"

The Emperor of the Abandoned Boat suddenly got up, a white light flashed in front of him, and then a transparent three-dimensional topographic map appeared in front of him, and after changing the angle a few times, it was magnified in a certain place, and it was the southwest defense point of the first-level defense line of the Xuanwu Domain!

On the three-dimensional map, in addition to thousands of miniature blue dots, there are also four red dots dozens of times larger than the blue dots, which are constantly impacting a dotted line.

"Inevitable ......"

The Emperor of the Abandoned Boat muttered, and then his face turned pale.

"In that case, as you said, let the brutes understand that humans are not so easy to mess with!"

......

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Xuanwu City Lord's Mansion, the Council Chamber.

The castle lord, Shinichi Tsuruta, was standing respectfully behind the table where the map of the defense line was presented, while a translucent figure appeared on the opposite side, standing there with a black fox mask on his face.

"The Fox Head Order: The Great Emperor has a decree, the barbarian beasts in the Xuanwu and White Tiger domains are raging, and the second-level towns and cities have suffered a serious blow, and the ban on the first-level defense line is now canceled, and Xuanwu City is ordered to send an attacking force to launch a battle plan with the brute beasts in the domain and expel them from the borders of the empire!"

"Your Majesty takes the order!"

After accepting the will, the transparent black fox masked man quickly disappeared, leaving Shinichi Tsuruta alone in the council chamber.

"It's a battle order...... Is there any change on the beast's side?"

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Shinichi Tsuruta shouted for someone, and several henchmen suddenly ran in the council room.

"Go to Stonefall and General Marisolang and ask them to prepare to organize the Southern Expeditionary Force. There was a pause: "Also, is that guy out of customs?"

A henchman bowed his head and said, "The intelligence says that Hu Fuslang will be out of the customs yesterday!"

"In that case, then let him also go with Stonefall and them to supervise the battle, and let people send orders to the four first-level towns and cities, it's time to send troops!"

......

There were dark waves surging in Xuanwu City and the four first-level towns and cities in the domain, but Qinguan Town was still under that dark cloud.

In the clouds, there are two consciousnesses that have been watching the battle below, and the communication that arises from time to time.

A voice was relatively low: "This human town is much more powerful than the previous one!"

The other one has an ethereal meaning: "Yes, it's been four days, and if it were the previous towns and cities, the defense line would have collapsed long ago." ”

"If this continues, it looks like it will take some time to end the fighting here. ”

The ethereal voice laughed: "It's okay, with the enchantment that you and I have cooperated to unfold, there won't be anything to disturb our existence anyway......"

"Who says no?"

The two consciousnesses were suddenly startled, and at this time they realized that there was a third consciousness in the clouds, this uninvited guest looked like a person, and if you looked carefully, it was Demon Nine, Demon Lord!

"It's you!" the deep voice seemed to recognize Demon Jiu, but his tone seemed to be extremely unwelcoming to see it appear.

Demon Nine smiled evilly: "Third brother, it's been a long time!"

In the clouds, a black mist floated out, and then condensed into a pitch-black ghostly shape, with wings on its side, but it was a slightly hideous bird-like beast.

"And you, Lingwu Yuan, the last time we met, you seemed to be just a small cloud, right?"

The clouds rolled into a giant eye the size of a hill, and the pupils of the eyes were mixed with thunder and lightning, which was breathtaking.

"Demon Venerable, the problem of your favorite mouth and outrageous words has really not changed at all!"

The ethereal voice came from the giant eye of thunder and lightning!

Demon Jiu smiled indifferently, raised his hands and said, "Don't be angry, I'm not here to provoke you this time...... Well, although it's funny to provoke you guys...... I'm here to remind you to get out of this place early!"

"Leave?"

The blackbird-shaped demon beast snorted coldly, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, I just think that if you continue to stalemate in this human town, it may end badly!"

Without waiting for the two consciousnesses on the other side to get angry, Demon Jiu immediately shook his hand, pointed to Qin Guan Town below and said, "Do you know why you haven't captured this town for so long?"

The two consciousnesses were silent.

"Hehe, in fact, the reason is very simple. Demon Nine Evil smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Because the human beings in this town and city have a lot of origin!"

"......" seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, an ethereal voice spoke: "No matter how big the origin is, this is just a second-level town! Demon Venerable, don't bother talking here!"

"Well, don't you believe it?" Demon Jiu thought for a while, and suddenly raised a slender index finger: "Why don't we make a bet!"

This time, it was a deep voice that responded to Demon Jiu: "Bet on what?"

"Simple, let's bet on whether you can wipe out all the humans here!"
