Chapter 13: Going it alone
Zhou Li's killing spree is actually not bloody.
It's just that......
Everyone alive at the scene had horror in their eyes, but it was as if they had seen hell.
Within a diameter of more than ten kilometers, in this midsummer weather, in the heat of the wilderness, there is this almost invisible ice layer, which is higher than a person.
Of course, this is not what they are afraid of, what is really frightened is the lifelike ice sculptures inside the ice.
No, it shouldn't be the ice sculpture, but the form of the person after being frozen in ice.
Hundreds of thousands of people, more than eighty percent of the soldiers of the Ancient Desert Kingdom were covered in ice, becoming layers of ice sculptures inside. Their expressions froze, some frightened, some incredulous, some panicked, and more desperate and hideous. Their expressions and movements are all frozen under the ice.
Under the sun, it should have been a hot day, but here, it was cold, as if someone had been thrown into the northern ice and snow zone.
The dragon's roar came from the sky, and then it was thrown into the distance.
Everyone was trembling all over, and the dragon's dragon groan, more like the screams of demons, could drain all the strength of the body.
The people present, including the soldiers of the Great Chu Dynasty, all regarded the dragon as a demon.
In just a few minutes, the two sides that were still violently tearing apart just now stopped, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ancient Desert Kingdom were covered in ice. The rest of the soldiers are just this part of the vanguard mixed with the soldiers of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it is just this part of the soldiers, and their fate is also doomed.
In a matter of minutes, the entire battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people was reversed, and the slaughter was completely completed.
Zhou Li didn't care about the stunned looks of the soldiers, and the giant dragon threw itself into the distance, and then spit out a mouthful of dragon breath in the sky.
The blue dragon's breath, dragging a tail of light, took only a second, and it hit the camp commanded by the commander of the Ancient Desert Kingdom, directly turning this place into a frozen place. The generals inside, without even a single thought, fell into the darkness and became one of the many ice sculptures.
Completing this blow almost ended the battle.
"Groaning ......"
The dragon let out a long roar and began to move away with Zhou Li's thoughts.
If the battlefield is big, there is a deathly silence.
No one thought that it would end so soon, and the dragon's terrifying methods made everyone unbelievable. It is only now that many people understand that the side with the top players is actually the winning side. No matter how many soldiers there are, in front of this type of people, they are just a string of numbers.
"King Zhou is a thousand years old. ”
"King Zhou is mighty. ”
The soldiers who reacted erupted in a roar.
Countless weapons used various ways to attack at this moment, turning the already stupid soldiers of the Ancient Desert Kingdom into a corpse.
The soldiers with a rainbow of momentum are eager to see more enemies in front of them.
There are only tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ancient Desert Kingdom left, and in front of an opponent who is more than ten times his own, there is no suspense in the result.
Of the entire army of hundreds of thousands, not a single one could escape, and the whole army was annihilated.
......
The dragon made a bend in front of it and flew in a westerly direction.
Here, cities and towns have been destroyed, and some of them emit billowing smoke. The corpses that can be seen everywhere, even in the air, can still smell this strong smell of corpses. This made Zhou Li's brows furrow, under this scorching sun, these exposed corpses ......
Fortunately, on these battlefields, some corpse picking teams on both sides can be seen cleaning up these corpses, loading them into huge beast carts, and burying them in a centralized manner.
This kind of soldiers who pick up corpses have a tacit understanding with each other and are not allowed to attack.
The dragon swept by, and two hours later, appeared in the middle of a plain.
It is close to the wilderness, the plains are covered with weeds, and from here you can see endless camps stationed here, as far as the eye can see. The roar of the monster, the human voice, etc. were mixed into one, and when I heard it in my ears, it was like countless flies flying, and only the "buzzing" sound remained.
More than 10 million soldiers are stationed here, and there is no stretch of the line here except for camps and camps.
In the sky, a patrol composed of countless flying demonic beasts patrolled this area.
The dragon's approach was immediately discovered by the patrol, and several teams of more than 100 flying demonic beasts greeted it. More than a dozen Venerable-level cultivators were even more rushing in the sky, and one by one, they stopped in front of the giant dragon with nervous expressions.
"Who is coming, this is an important military place, if there is no order, it is forbidden to fly. ”
One of the cultivators shouted, relieved at the same time when he saw someone on the dragon.
At least it's not the monster that broke in, otherwise the pressure in the face of this giant dragon can be imagined.
Zhou Li's hand moved, and a token popped out and fell into the hands of the person who led it.
"Ah...... I've seen King Zhou. ”
This cultivator knelt down in the air, and the others reacted and all knelt down.
Isn't King Zhou's signboard the giant dragon in front of him? Damn, they didn't even recognize it in the first place, it's just damned.
Zhou Li nodded and said, "Get up, this time the king is going to the northwest front to deal with this unfavorable war in the northwest." The new Great General of the Western Route will arrive in ten days. ”
No matter how fast the news of the imperial court is, it will take three or five days to reach the front line, and these people will naturally not know what is happening in the court. Hearing the new General of the West Road, their expressions were a little stunned, but they felt that there was nothing strange about it.
The war in the northwest has festered like this, and it would be surprising if the general of the Western Road could still sit in this position safely.
Throwing down this sentence, Zhou Li moved, and the dragon rushed forward again.
"Woo......"
The sound of the trumpet sounded, but it was very long.
At the sound of this trumpet, there was only some commotion in the huge camp below, but it was quiet again, but more soldiers looked curiously into the sky, looking at the dragon rushing in, with curiosity and contemplation in their eyes.
Zhou Li still knows that this long horn sound represents the arrival of distinguished guests, and the distinguished guests who can make the horn sound sound will not have a simple identity, at least to the point of being greeted by the commander.
With this horn, the other patrolling flying demonic beast troops did not stop Zhou Li and the dragon's advance.
The endless camp, black and oppressive, flying in the sky, this kind of picture is shocking, and at the same time the blood is boiling.
Zhou Li's description of the giant dragon, in the Great Chu Dynasty, is too famous, it is difficult to know it. Now seeing the appearance of the dragon, coupled with the fact that there are people riding on the dragon, and the vast horn and horn, all these things combine to naturally remind people of something.
"Ah, it must be that King Zhou is not wrong. ”
"Hahaha, this time it's cool, King Zhou is here. ”
"This time, the rabbit cubs of the Ancient Desert Kingdom have something to see. ”
"That's right, King Zhou made a move, see that they are still arrogant. ”
"It's time for us to fight back. ”
"Not to mention, I've been really aggrieved in the past six months. ”
The soldiers below were all excited, and they were so excited that they talked loudly.
The soldiers don't train for too long, and they still sit in the camp and practice. The increase in level is also the increase in strength. In the Great Chu Dynasty, soldiers were divided into two systems, one was lifelong and the other was compulsory.
Every cultivator needs to stay in the army for ten years, and when the time is up, they can retire.
And the lifelong system, of course, it goes without saying that it will not leave the army within 200 years, and only after reaching the service time of 200 years can it be retired.
Having two systems also distinguishes the gap between ordinary cultivators and some family sect cultivators. Generally, ordinary cultivators choose the lifelong system, while the disciples of the family sect choose the compulsory system, and it only takes ten years to be liberated.
Although there is such a system, Zhou Li knows that many people can use various methods to escape this kind of obligation system.
The dynasty, which has gone through thousands of years, has in fact entered a high degree of decay, which can no longer be recovered by manpower. The interests of various families and sects are intertwined, how can it be done by one person?
The arrival of King Zhou naturally caused a sensation in the camp.
Far away, in the Shuai camp, a group of dozens of people came out, and more than a dozen of them flew into the sky from afar, waiting for Zhou Li's arrival in the sky.
In a moment, the dragon was already in front of him.
Zhou Li was not afraid of anything, shot and jumped from the dragon, and then hovered in the sky. With a movement of his hand, this terrifying dragon disappeared out of thin air in the eyes of countless people.
King Zhou's signature way, who in the world doesn't know?
From this point, it can be 100% confirmed that the person who came here is the king of Zhou.
What's more, among the generals present, everyone had seen the portrait of King Zhou, so how could they admit their mistake?
Zhou Li appeared, and everyone present knelt down: "I've seen King Zhou." ”
"Get up. He said flatly, Zhou Li came to the front of these dozen people, the people who can fly in the air are at least the Venerable level, looking at the people here, their ranks are not weak, otherwise they will not be able to hold important positions in the army.
Especially the old man who was the leader, even Zhou Li couldn't see through it, and he must have reached the level of a top venerable.
"The last general, Nie Zhen, King Zhou, please come and sit in the camp. The old man, after standing up, arched his hand, looking at what he was wearing, there was no need to guess, and he knew that he should be the deputy commander, before the arrival of the new general of the Western Road, he was the supreme general commander of this kind of northwest front.
Zhou Li didn't move, stood in the sky with his hands in his hands, and said: "General Nie, this king's time is limited, and this time he came to the front line because he was entrusted by the Emperor of Chu. ”
With a movement of his hand, the holy decree was already taken out by Zhou Li, and then sent to Nie Zhen with a spiritual power.
Looking at this golden decree, everyone present was startled and wanted to kneel.
Zhou Li frowned and said, "Okay, in front of this king, this set is unnecessary." In fact, there is nothing in this holy decree, but this king will be in charge of the governor's army on the northwest front. ”
Nie Zhen and the others were all a little dumbfounded, how could this imperial power be so insignificant in the eyes of King Zhou? You must know that in front of the holy decree, everyone needs to kneel down to receive the decree. It's just that now that King Zhou has spoken out, of course they can't kneel anymore, but what makes their heads short-circuit is that King Zhou is the governor's army?
To be honest, as a general, the most disgusting thing is actually these Overseers, who don't understand anything, and are always pointing fingers, and many battles that can be won are defeated at the hands of these Overseers. Aren't the Overseers generally held by eunuchs in the palace?
Nie Zhen had no choice but to open the holy decree, and what was really said above was indeed the appointment of King Zhou as the governor of the Western Road.
Although he didn't like these so-called overseers in his heart, it was impossible for Nie Zhen to show it, not to mention, the overseer was still the king of Zhou, a famous figure in the world, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"King Zhou......" Nie Zhen was dealing with King Zhou for the first time, and he didn't know how to speak at all.
The legend of King Zhou in the outside world is almost his deeds, like being a person, which can only be speculated through one deed after another. Like two people on parallel lines, Nie Zhen never thought that he would have an intersection with King Zhou, theoretically, now King Zhou is still his top boss?
Zhou Li waved his hand and said, "This king has limited time, Nie Shuai, what do you need this king to do?"
"This ...... Naturally, the soldiers are responsible for the war, and when the king of Zhou arrives, it is better to rest first. Nie Zhen had a smile on his face, arranging what King Zhou would do, he didn't have the courage to do it.
The generals next to him all nodded.
It's calm now, and the first round of attacks will be launched in half a month.
A war that affects tens of millions of people is not as simple as it seems, and it is impossible to start fighting as soon as you pat your head.
"Nie Shuai, this king came to the front line, not to enjoy it. The ancient desert kingdom also dares to provoke a war, and I really don't know how to write dead words. Zhou Li's face was full of sneers and disdain, and he said, "Nie Shuai, where is the other party's army, the base camp?"
Zhou Li's tone, I have to say, is absolutely arrogant.
The ancient desert kingdom that can suppress the Great Chu Dynasty to fight, but it was described by Zhou Li as a mere word, I don't know if the other party knows, will he be so angry that he vomits blood?
I've always heard that King Zhou is arrogant, but now they have seen it.
Nie Zhen said: "King Zhou, the army of the Ancient Desert Kingdom is divided into twenty regions and stationed, most of them are more than 10 million, and some are millions. As for the base camp, this one is really impossible to confirm. ”
The base camp of the army, which is full of generals, how can it be found out casually?
Holding high the handsome flag, this kind of thing is impossible to happen here, the top venerables come and go, and their strength, if it is clear, it is like a firefly in the dark, how obvious it is, and it doesn't cause a lot of trouble?
Zhou Li thought about it, 70 million soldiers, it is impossible to get together, otherwise what has become of this?
In fact, why didn't Zhou Li know that they didn't trust themselves and thought they were arrogant?
Seventy million soldiers, as well as more than a thousand top venerables, tens of thousands of venerable levels, in the face of this kind of strength, in Nie Zhen's opinion, no matter how fierce King Zhou is, in the face of this absolute power, what can he do?
How weak is the power of one person in the face of this number?
"Forget it, what base camp is not a base camp, it's a big deal to fight until they stand up themselves. Zhou Li knew that he couldn't talk to these people, and when he came out of the national capital, Zhou Li had already planned it, and when he came by himself, he would do it alone.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as their top venerable is killed, the ancient desert kingdom will not retreat?
You must know that the Ancient Desert Kingdom dared to raise troops, which was nothing more than catching the top venerable of the Great Chu Dynasty and being slaughtered by himself. If the top Venerable of the Gu Man is kingdom is killed, it is estimated that the Gu Mo Kingdom will cry at that time, and the retreat is ironclad, and it will be eyed by other countries.
"You do your thing. ”
Throwing down a sentence, Zhou Li didn't pay attention to them, and with a move of his hand, the dragon appeared out of thin air again.
Zhou Li jumped and landed on the dragon.
The dragon just flicked its tail, and it was already catapulting out, and it was gone in an instant. I752
