Chapter 454: Storming the Protectorate
He thought to himself, this is not safe, it is better to hide in the courtyard of my Yelang Palace. Alas, if only I had learned the advanced enchantments, it would be extremely difficult for others to find out even if they entered. It is safe to be buried in the yard, but you can't stay there all day, and second, it is not reassuring that you are bitten by all kinds of insects in the rain and ice.
He took the Immortal Intermediate Helmet from the secret room, which was engraved with several golden regular script "Glory Halos", and walked out of the house with joy and explained loudly to everyone: "I just discovered an enchantment, and after destroying it, I got an Immortal Intermediate Hat. ”
Everyone cheered for this, Qin Tianzhu also looked very happy, took off the legendary helmet he had just put on his head, handed it back to Xun Zhonghui, put on the "halo of glory", and after saying goodbye to everyone happily, he rode on Zixuan's back and brought herself back to Xuanyang City by her.
As soon as Luo Ming returned to Yelang Palace, he dismissed everyone and asked Zixuan to patrol around for him. He found the place where he buried the "Feng Luo Ji" last time, dug up the books and examined them, and found that they were well preserved. So he wrapped the newly obtained purple one in it, dug the pit deeper, dragged out a pair of curtains from Xiao Yu's well-arranged space pendant, tore out a small piece, and wrapped it carefully. He buried all four books, transported most of the new earth he had dug up to a distant place and discarded it, and scraped some topsoil from elsewhere and covered it with the pit he had buried. In the end, he stepped on the dirt pit, and carefully disguised himself with the dead branches and weeds around him, until he looked back and forth repeatedly and confirmed that there were no flaws, and then left satisfied.
He returned to his dormitory and sent someone to find He Ting. He first asked He Ting to send someone to inform Quan Zhonghan, telling him to draw out a group of experienced, strict-mouthed, and loyal people to prepare to secretly drive into the "enchanting wetland" after the war to carry out mining work
Luo Ming listened to Mo Chan's narration with some emotion, and thought: Xun Zhonghui is a very practical girl, thinking about how to help me. If they had been so loyal, they could have considered returning the Nine Heavens Sheng Yuan Dan to them earlier. After all, this is a heavy treasure in their clan, and it is still very unseemly for me to hold it as an outsider.
Mo Chan said sincerely: "The slave family will always follow Xianggong in the future, doing their best, like Sister Xiaoyu." After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Yu, who was already cold on the ground, and said, "The slave family and Xianggong will find a way to save Sister Xiao Yu even if they say anything." Luo Ming didn't have that much confidence. Getting an ultimate skill is a bit of a stretch. Because there are so many skills, each one looks exactly the same, and there are many things that are repetitive, and it is difficult to distinguish them. If a monk is seriously injured in the rigors of the Tribulation, there is a very high chance that nothing will be achieved if he is not careful. There are many cultivators who are like this, and after going through the cruel test of the Heavenly Tribulation, they have not gained any skills.
But if you don't rely on your own efforts, where can you go and who can you find to help? Luo Ming's heart was very entangled.
While Luo Ming was entangled, the battle situation had been developing rapidly. After the battle in Hekou Village ended, the army of Black Cloud City, under Lin Yi's strict supervision, quickly joined up with Liu Rang and Ding Zhenzhong's troops, and swept the entire northern battlefield with a thunderous momentum. The remnants of the Qilin Kingdom, which had been divided into various corners, were isolated for a long time, and the officers were killed one after another, and there was no hope of breaking through. And the reinforcements from Black Cloud City are coming in a steady stream. The Qilin National Army soon lost its morale and lost all fighting spirit, and it quickly collapsed after a long time of indiscriminate resistance.
By the end of the battle, it was late at night the next day. When Luo Ming arrived at Qingshan Gorge, the chaotic army of Black Cloud City led by Lin Yi had also arrived here. The battle in the canyon has ended, and the reinforcements of the Northern Alliance have completely lost their fighting spirit after the death of the general soldier Ma Gui, and they have surrendered one after another.
Luo Ming stood on the top of the mountain and saw that there were troops everywhere in the canyon and on the slopes, among which the army of Black Cloud City and the captives of the Qilin Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom accounted for about half of them. The seized weapons, armor, flags, saddles, and other trophies were piled up in the east and in the west, and they were all over the mountains. Lin Xiaoshuang reported that the troops needed to rest, but Luo Ming was noncommittal, saying: "The brothers in the defense line of Fuyang County and the castle are like struggling on the oil pot, and we must set off immediately to save them." There is no room for delay. ”
Lin Yi said: "But our troops are in chaos, the soldiers can't find their commanders, and the officers can't find their subordinates, so they need to rest and reorganize the troops again." ”
Qin Tianzhu interrupted her and said, "I don't care if any of them find or not. I am now about to relieve the siege of Fuyang County and Mingyang Fort. If we can't get rid of these two places quickly, we won't have the energy and time to help them once the reinforcements from the Avrean Empire arrive. ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he understood Luo Ming's worries. In terms of the strength of the current coalition army, the Qinglong Kingdom is already stretched and difficult to deal with. If the war drags on for a long time, the Avrean Empire and the constituent countries of the coalition will inevitably send reinforcements. The current strength of Black Cloud City has bottomed out, and most of the young and middle-aged people have been sent to the front line, even if the recruitment work is immediately launched in society, only minor children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled and women can be recruited. So for them, the sooner the war ends, the better.
He immediately stepped on his war horse, led a team of personal soldiers to carry the banner of the commander, hurried everywhere, and personally gave the general attack order. After two days and one night of fierce fighting, most of the soldiers sat on the ground, unwilling to eat, and each of them looked exhausted. The vast majority of them have experienced countless charges and counter-charges, and have experienced countless tragic battles to the death. Their original neat formation and structure were completely disrupted, and they continued to witness their comrades-in-arms and fellow villagers who they once knew being cut into bloody corpses by the enemy one by one, completely losing their lives. After this extremely long two days and one night of fierce fighting, they are now so tired that they don't even want to talk more, how can they have the morale to gather again, march quickly overnight, and fight a cruel battle?
Lin Yi was not discouraged. He shouted to the soldiers, "Brothers, I know you are tired. But Fuyang County is now in danger! The defense line of the castle is in danger! All the people of Heiyun City, our parents, relatives, wives, and children, are facing the danger of slaughter and plunder! If we don't kill them back, who else can save them? Brothers, you are the invincible Iron Army of Heiyun City! You have already created many miracles, and you will continue to do so! Cheer up, if you are a gentleman, follow me to the south and completely defeat the enemy's coalition army!"
