Chapter 112: Chen Shouzheng
Is the Imperial Lieutenant General easy to mess with?
According to the structure of the Imperial Military Department, there are ten major legions in the whole empire. Eight of the legions guard the connecting passages of the eight planes, one of which is responsible for guarding the empire itself, and the other is responsible for guarding the Metaverse. The supreme commander of the ten legions was the marshal, and each marshal had ten generals, and each general had ten lieutenant generals. By analogy, these 10,111 senior generals constitute the backbone of the Longhua Empire's military headquarters.
And it is conceivable that with the huge population of the Longhua Empire, it is not easy to become more than 10,000 high-ranking generals, especially the rank of lieutenant general is only a hundred. It is conceivable that it is not easy to be promoted to lieutenant general in the empire, in addition to outstanding military exploits, it is also necessary to have excellent strategic command ability and strong personal combat effectiveness.
Chen Shouzheng was able to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general at the age of 40, and his personal ability is absolutely undoubted. In the nearly two years that he had been in charge of guarding the Iron City, there had been no mistakes, but only this time he caught up with the massive attack of the mechanical civilization, and there were still people who were bold enough to take the opportunity to rob the armory. This is simply not taking him seriously, just imagine that if anyone escapes from him today, he will inevitably become the laughing stock of the entire military department.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Shouzheng's face turned cold, and as he followed the armory step by step, he gradually released his momentum, which was as heavy as a black cloud pressing down on the city.
The Earl and the others all stopped their hands and looked solemnly at the army surrounding them outside, and finally all eyes were focused on Chen Shouzheng.
In the original plan, no one wanted to fight head-on with the Imperial Army, especially an Imperial lieutenant general. But since there is such a thing as the Time Stone, it is worth all the risks to do so.
Yuyang Yingjie sat on the ground like dead ashes, and hated Shen Mu and them even more in his heart. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of these people, they would have retreated peacefully by now. But now it's good, he was blocked by Chen Shouzheng, and everyone got the stolen goods, and it was difficult to even think about it through the family afterwards. It's really a hell of a life, where did these powerful guys come from, even a master of a fifteenth-order profession like Han Li can't even survive three moves, when did the masters in this world become so worthless?
Shen Mu, Qi Yuanshan, and Zhao Hongying hid far away as soon as they saw the reinforcements appear. They generally don't participate in battles of this level, and besides, the gems didn't fall into their hands at that time, according to the rules of the team, whoever caused trouble would solve it.
Both the Earl and the Zombie Youth glanced at the old woman in unison, not speaking, but the meaning was obvious. Do you divide the time gems and solve them together, or do you fight them alone?
Faced with this question, the old woman was still very wise, and after thinking for less than three seconds, she took out six time gems and threw them to the Count and the zombie youth respectively, two each, and then passed two pieces towards the black-clothed monk who had been chanting the scriptures.
"That's all, no more!" The old woman was divided into six at once, and it was as if her heart was dripping with blood. In fact, she was not afraid of any imperial lieutenant general, but of these people stabbing her in the back.
And although they were still a little dissatisfied that the old woman swallowed a dozen pills alone, the earl and the others also knew that it was not easy for the old woman to spit out what she had in her hand. If it really pushes her to a hurry, she can do anything with the temper of this old monster.
"Young Master Yuyang, your courage is really great! colluding with mechanical civilization to attack the city of steel, your Yuyang family is really tired!" Chen Shouzheng stared at Yuyang Yingjie at a glance, and snorted coldly as if he was smiling. For these wealthy nobles, he has long been blind, and it is rare to fall into the well, so he naturally picks a big stone.
"Chen Shouzheng, don't button my hat indiscriminately. Young Master Ben was just passing by here and was robbed, I haven't asked you about the security of the Steel City, but you are going to beat it up first?" At the same time, he also hated Chen Shouzheng to death in his heart. The looting of the armory was revealed at most, and he was responsible for it alone, but only one death. But if Chen Shouzheng said that colluding with mechanical civilization to attack the Steel City would be treason, and the entire family would be implicated. This crime is so big that it is simply going to put their family to death!
Chen Shouzheng also knew that there was no way to convict the Yuyang family of this crime just by saying it with his mouth, at most he could only disgust them. So he snorted coldly and turned his attention back to the earl and the others.
"Do you hand over your things yourself and raise your hands in surrender, or are you ready to continue to resist?" Chen Shouzheng slowly drew the saber at his waist. Before the sword blade was fully revealed, a wave of sword qi had already soared into the sky. And his control of the sword qi was extremely precise, and he only stayed at the position of one meter above the old woman's body. Just imagine that if the old woman was still ready to continue to resist, this sword qi would fall on her in the next moment.
"Surrender? hehe...... I have lived for so long, and I have done everything, but I have never surrendered!" the old woman lowered her head, and in the cold laughter, a spiritual force that turned into substance condensed a white bone long sword, and slashed it head-on and directly smashed the sword qi.
This is almost a declaration of war. Chen Shouzheng was furious, only to hear a crisp dragon chant from 'Canglang', the sword edge was unsheathed, and the sword qi in the sky turned into dozens of green dragons, and pounced down with teeth and claws.
Seeing this, the old woman took a step back slightly, and let out a scream from her mouth, and she didn't see anything, and more than a dozen green dragon sword qi suddenly exploded. At the same time, the earl opened the blood-colored bat wings behind him, and the red sheath turned into a blood-colored sword qi and stabbed Chen Shouzheng's throat trickily.
"Blood Clan, I didn't expect there to be a fish that slipped through the net?" Chen Shouzheng's eyes showed the murderous intent in his eyes, the sound of the dragon's groan exploded, and the sword qi in the sky converged into a huge sword qi that was 100 meters long.
Both of them are masters with swords. The difference is that the Earl's sword moves are very delicate, tricky and ruthless, often using the least amount of force to achieve maximum lethality. On the contrary, Chen Shouzheng's sword moves are all magnificent, overwhelming, overwhelming people with great momentum, and pursuing one force to reduce ten meetings.
The collision between the two polar opposite sword moves was not very intense, but it was still very dangerous. However, after only a few moves, even Shen Mu, a layman, could see that the earl was not Chen Shouzheng's opponent. His sword is off-edge, as vicious as a poisonous snake in the dark night, and it is mainly based on surprise. But once you encounter Chen Shouzheng's dignified sword moves, it is inevitable that some of them will not be able to be used, and they will hit walls everywhere, as if they have met a nemesis. After a few short fights, he was slashed hard in the ribs.
And this sword was also like a signal of attack, the army that had tightly surrounded this place immediately launched an attack on Shen Mu and the others, and the magic guide weapons opened fire one after another, forming an intertwined firepower network.
Do not think that the existence of armies is useless in a world where the strong are respected. It is true that a twelfth-order powerhouse can sweep through a group of low-level soldiers, but sufficient quantitative changes can completely cause qualitative changes, especially well-equipped armies, in the case of using magic weapons and battle formations, even a professional of the tenth order does not dare to be presumptuous.
"Chen Shouzheng, are you crazy?" Yuyang Yingjie hid in the armory under the protection of Han Li, and roared angrily. Because of the indiscriminate attacks used by these soldiers, the range of attack enveloped them, and if they had reacted a little slower just now, they would have become a hornet's nest by now.
But Chen Shouzheng didn't bother to pay attention to him. He doesn't have any good feelings for this kind of wealthy child, even if he dies, he will die, anyway, the evidence is conclusive, and the Yuyang family has to endure it even if they have resentment.
Shen Mu and the three of them were also embarrassed to lie behind the bunker and didn't dare to show their heads, the battle formation composed of more than a hundred regular soldiers was not something they could deal with. In order to ensure safety, Shen Mu shamelessly regarded the top of Qi Yuan Mountain outside as a meat shield, anyway, this guy can be resurrected infinitely without fear of death.
The old woman's strength was unfathomable, and she didn't care at all about the hundreds of troops, allowing these attacks to fall in front of her, all of which were blocked by magical barriers. The wheelchair boy set up a huge shield, and although it was a little difficult, he was safe and sound for a while. Only the black-clothed monk always stood in place and chanted the scriptures, without dodging or resisting. The dense magic guide beam slammed into his body, causing him to tremble all over, interrupting the scripture he was reading.
The black-clothed monk has been chanting the scriptures in order to suppress the evil qi on his body, and now as soon as the scriptures stop, the evil qi will emerge uncontrollably from the body, rising continuously, and finally converge into a black evil Buddha with three eyes and six arms in mid-air.
The black-clothed monk raised his head and stared, holding the lion seal in both hands, and reciting the scriptures loudly in his mouth, only to hear bursts of evil sounds piercing his brain, and more than 100 soldiers immediately fell to the ground and wailed.
"Evil Buddha, you're looking for death!" Chen Shouzheng recognized the murderer on the Templar's wanted list, and knew that if he was left alone, none of the soldiers he brought with him would survive. So he didn't care about fighting with the earl anymore, and turned around and killed the black-clothed monk directly.
Although the black-clothed monk was bare-handed, he did not show weakness to the sword blade slashed by Chen Shouzheng, and directly fought hard with the seal in both hands. The Buddha's handprint collided with the sword qi, creating a huge shock wave that cut a crack directly on the ground. The two of them each took two steps back, but the sleeve of the black-clothed monk was cut by the sword qi. Obviously, Chen Shouzheng had a slight upper hand.
"Amitabha, General Chen's swordsmanship really deserves its reputation!" The black-clothed monk looked down at his sleeve and smiled coldly: "The poor monk has no grievances or enmity with the imperial army, why would General Chen kill the poor monk like this?"
"Sneak attack on the armory, and launch an attack on the imperial soldiers!Are you still embarrassed to say that there is no injustice and no revenge?" Chen Shouzheng's long sword was drawn back, and the sound of wind and thunder suddenly rose, and a thunder sword qi slashed towards the zombie youth who was sneaking up behind him.
The zombie youth didn't expect Chen Shouzheng's alertness to be so high, and he was caught off guard by a sword in the chest. And the thunder and lightning attribute attached to the sword qi restrained his corpse qi from the innate level, making him can't help but roar in pain.
"Little boy!" Chen Shouzheng turned his head to look at him and snorted, not taking the zombie youth to heart. Among these people, he considered the most threatening to be the old woman and the evil Buddha. Although the earl's swordsmanship is not bad, he always feels that something is missing, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, his attitude of ignoring only angered the zombie youth. A crack opened in the brass coffin, and a blood light submerged into the body, and the combat power instantly soared to the eleventh order. But estimating the difference in strength between each other, the eleventh order should not be Chen Shouzheng's opponent, so the zombie youth swallowed a ball of blood again.
After merging with the two balls of blood light, the zombie youth's body began to show a metalized state, and a strange red appeared in his eyes, and he blasted over with a domineering punch.
Before the person arrived, the fist wind had already swept by. A thunderous sound exploded, and the nearest soldiers were directly stunned.
How could the combat effectiveness have increased so much all at once? Chen Shouzheng was very shocked in his heart. Judging from this punch alone, the combat power of the zombie youth is already comparable to that of the fourteenth-order profession. Compared to before, it has been improved by six ranks!
Even he had to deal with this level of battle carefully, and if he was not careful, he would end up seriously injured. It's just that if he wants to deal with the zombie youth wholeheartedly, what will the evil Buddha do? What about the earl? What about the old woman? What a damn thing, where did so many masters come from? And just in time for the outbreak of war, he thought that he could easily solve the battle in a few minutes, but now it seems that he will be dragged on for a long time. It's just that in this way, the war at the front can only expect reinforcements!
"Hey, old bat, why have you become so weak all of a sudden? This doesn't look like you usually do?" Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the zombie youth and Chen Shouzheng, the old woman paced to the earl, looked at the few wounds on his body that were still bleeding, and asked teasingly.
"My business, don't worry about you!" The earl covered his wound, turned his head and glanced at it, and was relieved to see that Shen Mu was intact. He believed the prophecy of the Destiny Compass and was reluctant to believe it, so he split his blood core into three parts just in case he set off this time. In addition to the one that remained in the body, one was left at home, and the other was carried with him in case of emergency. Therefore, his current combat effectiveness is much lower than in his heyday, which is why he was suppressed by Chen Shouzheng from beginning to end.
The old woman was already very suspicious when the Count said that he would no longer be the organizer, and she felt that the Count's behavior became more and more suspicious after observing it along the way. She only knew a little about the organizers, and she needed to watch carefully if there was anything else in it. The enemy is not terrible for her, it is her own people who are terrible.
