When Chi Yexin heard Xingke Xuanmo's words, he just smiled faintly and said: "Actually, I don't care about concubines or anything, even if I don't succeed, it won't affect my pursuit of controlling the entire Red Dust Continent, after all, power and power are the most intoxicating things in the world." Looking at the sky, a snow-white demon eagle with a single horn landed on the shoulder of the black-haired man, and it lowered its head and spit out a bamboo tube in its mouth.

The man took out a piece of letter paper from the bamboo pipe, and after a quick glance, he said respectfully to Chi Yexin: "The vanguard force composed of the two Venerables of Bitter Poison and Brahma is about to arrive in the Eastern Heaven Covering Ridge, but unfortunately, the vanguard of the human race has already arrived first and completed the deployment there. ”

"It's all Xiao Bai who caused trouble, otherwise Ge Tu's bloody slaughter army would have already invaded Guanzhong. Chi Yexin said with a little regret, glancing at the sunset that was about to sink in the sky, "The night is falling, this is the best time to attack, order those two demon venerables, within one night, must capture the Covering Sky Ridge." ”

The man hesitated slightly, and said, "Shatian Ridge is the most important barrier in the pass, and it has a strong defensive power, and if you want to capture it overnight, the price is not light." ”

Chi Ye Xin said categorically: "No matter the cost, I must take the Heaven Covering Ridge tonight, this is my Chi Ye Xin's order." ”

The two Demon Venerables looked solemn, and they didn't dare to say more, and the sunset on the horizon slowly sank.

......

As the center of the Red Dust Continent, the Guanzhong Plain is the political, cultural and military center of the human race, since the war between the ancients and demons has entered the white-hot stage, the focus of the battle between the two races is often on the Guanzhong Plain, and the demons can finally win this war, that is, to see if they can finally occupy the entire Guanzhong region.

As the hinterland of the human race, Guanzhong is surrounded by a circle of tall and steep Shatian Ridge that stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and no matter which direction the demon clan wants to attack Guanzhong, it must pass through Shatian Ridge.

But it is not an easy task to get through the Shade Ridge.

The reason why Shatian Ridge has the name of "Shatian" is because its terrain is extremely tall, steep and precipitous, even if a warrior wants to climb it on foot, it is extremely difficult, not to mention that there are countless beacon towers set up above Shatian Ridge.

This kind of beacon tower is made of extremely hard blue steel rock, each tower is dozens of stories high, and countless eyes are exposed on it, and dense spirit cannons stretch out from the eyes, which can condescendingly bombard the demons who are hiking and mountaineering, and at the same time the attack range covers the sky, so that the demon warships cannot easily pass through, and at the same time, each beacon tower is engraved with countless defensive runes, so that the beacon tower has stronger defense than ordinary warships.

Therefore, each beacon tower can be said to be a military fortress with both offense and defense, and its individual combat effectiveness completely exceeds that of a demon cloud ship, and on the Shatian Ridge, there are countless such beacon towers, so the Shatian Ridge has been the most important barrier to protect the Guanzhong Plain since ancient times, and in the depths of the forest of the Shatian Ridge, which is as thick as the sea, it is still full of the corpses of countless dead demons.

At this moment, the night is falling, the cold moonlight is all over the silent mountains, on the eastern Shatian Ridge, every beacon tower is lit up with sparks, countless beacon towers stretch and wind on the top of the Shatian Ridge, one after another in a line, just like a giant dragon quietly hibernating, can burst out at any time with huge and majestic energy.

Shangguan Hei Yu, dressed in black robes, stood on a beacon tower at the highest point, looking out at the horizon on the eastern plain.

As the leader of the older generation of the Iron Dao Shangguan family, Shangguan Heiyu's status in the Shangguan family is just like Mo Qingshan's status in the Mo family, he is already the future head of the Iron Dao Shangguan family, at the age of forty-five, he not only has the strength of the peak martial king, but also has a calm personality and is extremely strategic, and this time, as the commander of the vanguard of the Terran coalition army, he commanded the iron sword army of the 500,000 Shangguan family day and night, and finally rushed to the eastern Shatianling and completed the deployment.

For the Terrans who had lost all the territories in the east of the continent, it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to complete the deployment before the arrival of the demon army.

And Shangguan Hei Yu knew very well that the reason why the vanguard of the coalition army led by him was able to successfully do this was mainly because Xiao Bai's lone army went deep and defeated the vanguard of the demon cloud, delaying the time for the demon clan to advance, otherwise the original defense of the Eastern Heaven Covering Ridge was thin, and the Demon Venerable Ge Tu Shuai Army, known as the "Blood Venerable", would have already attacked the Shatian Ridge.

In Shangguan Hei Yu's opinion, Xiao Bai, the dead lord of the North Land Cold Palace, was undoubtedly the hero of the entire human race, but it was a pity that such a hero died too early.

Shangguan Hei Yu sighed secretly, in fact, it was not just him, he knew that when the entire vanguard army learned of Xiao Bai's death, they were all immersed in a heavy atmosphere, and their morale was low, which showed what a lofty position Xiao Bai, the former Red Dust Wing, the palace master of the Cold Palace, had occupied in the hearts of the Terran soldiers.

Shangguan Heiyu even felt that Xiao Bai's prestige in the Terran army had surpassed that of several other martial artists.

However, this is war, in which even the most remarkable people can die, and the living can only carry the expectations of the dead and continue to struggle.

Suddenly, the smoke and dust rising from the dim horizon in the distance interrupted Shangguan Hei Yu's train of thought, and the vast line of light gray lines was like an endless ocean wave, rushing towards the Covering Sky Ridge.

In the night sky, a sharp chirp pierced the silent night, resounding through the mountains of the Covering Sky Ridge, and three scout cavalry riding dark blue giant eagles quickly approached from the eastern sky, flew to the window of the beacon tower, and said eagerly: "My lord! A large number of demon clans have made living corpses from the east, and the number is estimated to be 500,000!!"

"It's really here!" Shangguan Hei Yu's face froze, he had already expected that after Xiao Bai's death, the demon army would quickly drive straight into and attack the Shatian Ridge, and the demon clan occupied a large number of territories in the east, and would definitely create a large number of living corpses to act as cannon fodder and consume their own spirit crystals, which was the usual trick of the demon army when attacking the city and plundering the land.

Shangguan Hei Yu maintained a very calm mind, before this expedition, several martial artists had already regarded the Eastern Heaven Covering Ridge as a place that must be protected, although he only led 500,000 people, and the number of troops was only one-tenth of the Terran coalition army, but he carried fifty percent of the spirit crystals in the entire Terran logistics support, even if these living corpses were killed with spirit cannons, there would still be enough spirit crystals to deal with the subsequent threat.

Shangguan Hei Yu said indifferently: "Pass the order, all the soldiers in the beacon tower will be in full formation, as long as the corpse army enters the attack range, they will fire with all their might." ”
