Having been well supplied, the rebels gained momentum, and the number and strength of the people who came to the vicinity with their families and families expanded considerably, from hundreds of thousands to a million in just three months, and occupied nearly a quarter of Altino's territory.

According to the practice of regular military science, it would take years and months to gradually capture a large empire like Eltino, and it would not be cost-effective, and it would be the right way to directly capture the enemy's capital and paralyze the enemy's command, but this time Xiao Qiao could not use this method.

There was the experience of being forced to the central capital by the Guiyi clan last time, and the Eltino military department was ready for it this time, and the checkpoints around the royal capital were heavily guarded, and it was not easy to break through the layers of defense and attack in a straight line, and the White Deer Cave also fully supported Altino, in addition to mobilizing his disciples to join the army, even the general Zhou Gongjin, who was severely injured by the sneak attack of Yan Ning, had also recovered from his injuries and mobilized the army to participate in the war.

The pressure on the rebels suddenly increased, and Xiao Qiao hoped to win steadily, not only in the military aspect, but also in the internal affairs aspect, hoping to convey new thinking to the people, and through the external pressure of Altino, the military and civilians of all ethnic groups within the country could unite and get along with each other.

"Brother Yu, what kind of person is that Marshal Zhou Gongjin? I heard that he wears a mask every time he goes out on an expedition, I don't know why he does this? What kind of face is under the mask?"

After the end of a war, Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao rode back to the camp together, on the way back, Xiao Qiao asked Gong Jin like this, the longing in his tone did not contain half hatred, which made Gong Jin feel incredible, because he should be the enemy of all the Guiyi people.

"I don't know, but such a grim and vicious person, most of them look ugly like ghosts, they can't see people, and they should wear a mask to be a person. ”

Gong Jin replied lightly, glancing at Xiao Qiao's expression with a side eye, and found that her face was as usual, and it didn't seem like she was trying to do anything.

"Is that so? I don't think it's the point of being beautiful or ugly, it's a beautiful man like you, Brother Yu, who should wear a mask, because you are so good-looking, and in the future, your wife will not want her husband to be looked at by women all day long. ”

Because Xiao Qiao said it seriously, Gong Jin couldn't help laughing, he couldn't imagine that he was so charming in Xiao Qiao's eyes, which was indeed a very gratifying thing.

“...... I've heard...... That generalissimo Zhou, who hates the Guiyi people very much, is the representative of the White Deer Cave every time he advocates a crusade against the Guiyi clan, and it would be great if he could listen to our thoughts...... If one day, even those who hate the Oni the most are willing to put aside their differences and coexist peacefully, then our revolution will come to an end, right?"

Xiao Qiao sighed faintly, that thoughtful and emotional expression made Gong Jin almost unable to look directly at her face, especially when he noticed that even in the reflection of the red glow of the sunset, Xiao Qiao's cheeks still looked pale and his body seemed to be more slender, he almost couldn't help but want to get closer to the past and hold the increasingly thin girl's body into his arms.

The years on the battlefield are never easy, not to mention a slender girl, who has to lead the army to kill the battlefield all day long, and has to deal with government affairs after returning to the city, even if it is an iron-clad man, he will be exhausted, I really don't know how she survived.

Without the resources and intelligence of the White Deer Cave, victory is no longer within reach, although it is no longer within reach. The high-ranking officers of Eltino are not rice buckets, many of them are brave and resourceful talents, and the army under his command is well-trained and well-armed; to fight against these people, Gong Jin knows that he will win, but it will take time to achieve these victories, not a short time that can be completed in a year and a half.

Every time he fights, in the rain of guns and arrows, Xiao Qiao always rushes to the forefront. She is not the kind of impatient person who likes to be the vanguard in everything, staying in the base camp and calmly commanding, which is more in line with her talents, but whenever she wears the three artifacts, her figure glows with rainbow golden light, and she rides a strong horse to rush in front of the battle, the soldiers behind her are a hundred times more courageous, bravely follow the charge, and defeat the enemy without fear of death.

This rebel army, though growing in strength, was in a hurry, no more tempered than the centuries-old army of Altinor, and it was commanded with the utmost courage and fighting spirit to defeat the regular army, and faith was the most favorable factor in bringing about this.

Whether it is the Oni tribe, orcs, or humans, they all believe in the same dream now, hoping that in the near future, they can live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life, and the son of the god who can bring them to the ideal country in the belief is the girl who wears the three major artifacts and rushes to the forefront of the entire camp.

The White Deer Cave probably saw this too, so it repeatedly spread rumors against them, trying to weaken the unity and mutual trust of this rebel army. One of the most vicious rumors is that the Oniyi are colluding with the demons to return to the world and help destroy the human regime, and the most favorable evidence to support this rumor is the vampire legend that is getting stronger and stronger.

The spies responsible for spreading this rumor have made great progress in their methods of execution, and the dried corpses abandoned in the streets are no longer just chickens and ducks, but human corpses have begun to appear. This situation added to the panic of the people, and Gong Jin was angry at the situation, but although he formed a security team to patrol the city, the enemy was more skilled, and the security team was a few steps late every time.

Xiao Qiao's worry about this incident can be seen by anyone, just to not increase the pressure on Gong Jin, she did not ask Gong Jin more about this matter.

In fact, she had enough trouble of her own. has been paying attention to Xiao Qiao's back, Gong Jin is very suspicious that Xiao Qiao's recent emaciation and emaciation are not only because of the pressure of military and political work, but also because of the loss of qi and blood of the three major artifacts, I am afraid that it is the main reason.

Equal Divine Hammer, Fraternity Holy Armor, and Freedom Magic Ring, these three artifacts made from the White Deer Cave, although they can exert great power, but every time they are used, they will absorb a large amount of the holder's essence and blood vitality, and the wear and tear is quite amazing, Gong Jin does not think that Xiao Qiao will be affected at all after using it for a long time, and the increasingly pale haggard face is the best evidence.

In order not to let Xiao Qiao get too tired, Gong Jin deliberately took the lead in the battle, and tried not to let Xiao Qiao have a chance to do it, although she was deeply at the center of the faith of the whole army, she couldn't help but wear three artifacts to stand at the head of the formation, but as long as the opportunity to do it was reduced, she shouldn't be so tired.

(There are more and more things to do, not only to catch the vampires, but also to sweep away the enemies for Little Joe, and the Assassins on the side of the White Hart Cave can't let them succeed...... ）

The three elders of the Old Hall kept their word, and after that negotiation, the assassins sent by the White Deer Cave never stopped. The continuous disturbances made Gong Jin tired, and every time he saw those juniors stabbing one after another, one after another, doing desperate things that could not be successful, and finally leaving this world with their eyes wide open, or weak and crying, he felt a deep regret.

These young people didn't do anything wrong, it was all because the people who ordered it were bad, and they still sent them to harass and attack them, knowing that it was impossible to succeed in the assassination with their strength. However, these people don't have to be so obedient! As long as they have a little resistance, they don't have to die so miserably here today.

In order to prevent such a futile event from happening again, Gong Jin held another meeting with Su Laotang, demanding that they stop sending Assassins and give up their support for Altinor.

At the beginning of the talks, the atmosphere was very bad, Su Laotang cut off all the information and support given to Gong Jin, and Gong Jin no longer sent back the information in the rebels, and the information of Shuilian Cave and the Bai family's secret aid was hidden, and the relationship between the two sides was just not officially torn apart, and the three elders of Su Laotang finally asked directly.

"Zhou Gongjin, are you and Tao Bei planning to betray Bailu Cave?"

"It's really surprising that the three elders think so, we are disciples of the White Deer Cave, and we have never rebelled against my teacher, I really don't know where to start with the betrayal of the White Deer Cave?"

The strategy adopted by Gong Jin was to bring out the name of Master Lu You and make Su Laotang jealous. On his own, he does not have the ability and weight to confront Su Lao Tang, but even the three elders of Su Lao Tang cannot turn a blind eye to the existence of Master Lu You, when the master was in retreat, he said that he was preparing to be isolated from the world for half a year, and now the time of half a year is about to expire, as long as the master is out of the customs, he has the chips to change the current situation.

It stands to reason that for the sake of Lu You's face, Su Laotang should not dare to force Gong Jin too far, but to Gong Jin's surprise, when he pointed out that the master was about to leave the customs, the three elders said quite proudly that the Guiyi people colluded with the demons, this kind of great crime, even the Moon Sage could not change it, even if Lu You went out of the customs, he would stand on the side of the White Deer Cave and eliminate all the Guiyi rebels.

"Come on! This kind of talk can only be used to deceive outsiders, I myself am in the Ghost Army, and I can see it clearly, where are the demons? Those vampires who hide their heads and tails, aren't they all sent by the White Deer Cave to make trouble? Or do the three elders want to tell me that Su Laotang has colluded with the demons, so the White Deer Cave has a way to let the demons run to the occupied city and harm the people?"

"Zhou Gongjin, pay attention to your words! Even if you are Lu You's apprentice, you are not qualified to slander Su Laotang like this!"

Gong Jin's accusation made Su Laotang furious, although he himself didn't care much. However, the three elders who still looked high even in the Water Mirror Transmission quickly calmed down and spoke to Gong Jin again in a high manner.

"It is absolutely not wrong for the leader of the Oni Clan to collude with the Demon Clan, and it will not be long before the Su Lao Tang will announce this fact to the whole world, and then the rebel army will be like a candle in the wind, disintegrating in the morning and night. ”

The object of accusation has changed from the whole of the Ghost Yi clan to Xiao Qiao alone, and the more he talks, Gong Jin absolutely believes Xiao Qiao, but seeing that Su Laotang can say it so firmly, maybe they already have some tricks that they don't know, so they can be so sure.

For the sake of Xiao Qiao's safety, Gong Jin insisted on inquiring. The three elders didn't pay attention to his questioning at all, even if Gong Jin raised the name of the master, however, perhaps because there was no one to show off the trick that had been painstakingly completed, it was too lonely, and the three elders finally told the plan of the old hall for many years.

The Oniyi are a hybrid of humans and demons. In order to erase this filthy race from the Wind Continent, it is necessary to make them be hated by the entire Wind Continent, and the most exciting thing for people to fear and reject is the fact that the Oniyi Clan and the Demon Clan are colluding. How do you realize this plan? The Three Artifacts are the best shortcut to realize this plan.

Gong Jin always knew that the three artifacts were spread out from the White Deer Cave, and he deliberately let these three artifacts fall into the hands of the Guiyi clan. However, these three artifacts are not something that can be created in the White Deer Cave, their history dates back to before the Kyushu War, a craftsman who is very famous in the demon world, for the demon clan is about to attack the human world, specially created these three things to add combat power to the top warriors.

The Equal Divine Hammer, the Sacred Armor of Fraternity, and the Freedom Magic Ring, each with different powers and powerful lethal powers, will absorb a large amount of the holder's flesh and blood vitality when used, as its own energy, but in order to avoid excessive absorption, the three artifacts will also continue to affect the holder's body, exuding a state of excitement similar to taking anesthetics, so that the holder is not afraid of pain, rage, and is invincible on the battlefield.

If the holder is a demon, this effect will continue to stimulate the state of excitement, but when the holder becomes a human, these three samples of artifacts specially created for the demons will have some changes beyond the designer's expectations, slowly demonizing the body of the human holder, and transforming into a demon, especially when the three artifacts are all combined into one.

"The rebel leader heard that it was a woman, and if she used the three artifacts once, her flesh would be eroded one more layer. Every time she throws with the Divine Hammer and blocks one more attack with the Holy Armor, the three artifacts will affect her body, and the battle will continue to be fought layer by layer...... Hehe, she's going to be a demon soon!"

The eerie sneer from the other side of the water mirror continued to shock Gong Jin's hearing, and the words that came out in the sneer made him unable to believe what he had heard, so absurd, so cruel.

"The Oni are originally demon species, and the rate of infection will only be faster than that of humans. At that time, we, in Bailu Cave, will announce the truth about the leader of the rebels, so that everyone will know that the leader of the Guiyi rebels is a demon who has blended into the human world, how can they not collude with the demon clan at that time? Their leader is a demon clan! Hahaha......

Gong Jin couldn't describe how he felt at the moment, he hoped that it was a lie, because the master had never told him that the three major artifacts had such shady scenes before, and he was his most faithful executor of orders, and the master had no reason to hide it from him like this.

"Zhou Gongjin, have you never heard of your great master mention these secrets? Hahaha, you look up to your divine master too much, and you look up to yourself too much, do you think he is really in retreat? He just cut off contact with you! In his eyes, in our eyes, you are just a loyal dog, you don't need to know too many things, we can reuse you, we can let you die at any time, you are not qualified to ask too many secrets, and you should never think that you can fight your master. ”

“...... I understand, thanks to the teachings of several elders, Gong Jin will not disappoint you. ”

With his expression as usual, he ended the conversation in the most bland tone, and it took Gong Jin almost a lifetime of restraint to not let the three elders see what he really thought.

Calm down! You must calm down now! Because if even yourself starts to panic, then who else can support Xiao Qiao and plan for her?

Joe...... By the way, she seems to have said that tonight she will cooperate with the search team to find the vampire monster that is harassing the city, because the vampire monster is getting more and more bold, and last night it attacked two houses and sucked a baby into a dried corpse, for which the masses have moved public indignation, vowing to find the vampire demon and kill it.

It was also because Xiao Qiao was not here tonight that Gong Jin had time to have a meeting with Su Lao Tang, but after listening to Su Lao Tang's vicious conspiracy, Gong Jin suddenly had a terrible thought.

Blood, which contains the vitality of living beings, is a source of replenishment of energy for many demons, so when a series of creatures are sucked dry of blood and die, the first thing that comes to people's minds is that there are demons and demons raging. However, if the price of using the three major artifacts is that the body is gradually demonized, then is it possible that Xiao Qiao has already ......

Recall carefully, the time when the vampire monsters were raging was after the rebels left the Huaguo Mountain Domain, and that was also the period when Xiao Qiao began to use a large number of three major artifacts to fight, could it be that Xiao Qiao had been ...... since then

This thought made Gong Jin feel impatient, and she just wanted to rush to Xiao Qiao's side immediately to take a closer look at her appearance and see if anything had been neglected by herself.

The restless mood made Gong Jin not reserved, and his body soared away, regardless of whether he had surpassed Zhou Yu's "due" strength, many masters in the rebel army only saw his figure flash, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run away, and they were surprised when General Zhou Yu's martial arts were so great.

Gong Jin, who was rushing, was not only worried about Xiao Qiao's physical condition, but also confused about his current situation. If Su Laotang's words are true, Master is well aware of everything that is happening so far, and the reason why he claims to be in retreat is all a deliberate design that prevents him from asking for help, in order to ...... It's for ......

Gong Jin couldn't answer this, because Master Lu You's thoughts were not something he could understand, and even though he had performed the work for him for hundreds of years, he was still often puzzled why he did it. Or, Master's talent training plan this time fell on him, and he wanted to use the painful ordeal to see if this disciple had a chance to rush to the heavenly throne in one fell swoop.

If this is the case, it is very in line with Master's style, as long as it is related to this reason, there is nothing that Master can't do, but as long as he thinks of those talents who have been secretly honed by Master in the past, Gong Jin can't help but feel a chill, he is really not sure whether he can withstand the repeated blows and training.

"Rouge Ning!"

Gong Jin's figure flashed, and he shot steadily in front of Yan Ning like a feather arrow, and he happened to see a look of disapproval flash in Yan Ning's eyes, as if he was scolding him for revealing his strength rashly. Gong Jin didn't have time to take care of these stumps, so she simply asked where Xiao Qiao was, and learned that she asked Yan Ning to lead a team of people to search back and forth, but she performed light skills alone and flew around the city to find it.

"Gong Jin, you have to be careful, there are indeed demons in this city. ”

Yan Ning's warning has the guarantee of professional standards, of course Gong Jin can be trusted, but when this sentence is said at this time, it deepens the fear in Gong Jin's heart.

"Got it, you continue to patrol, I'll go find Xiao Qiao. ”

Yan Ning didn't understand what was going on, but seeing Gong Jin's expression, she was rarely highly cautious, knowing that something was wrong, and pointing in the direction where Xiao Qiao disappeared without saying a word, Gong Jin didn't even ask a word, and flew out in that direction.

Where is Xiao Qiao, Gong Jin couldn't find this for a while, and a certain feeling told him that Xiao Qiao might be hiding from himself and others. And after some time of searching, Gong Jin accidentally found the first victims tonight, several corpses that had been drained of blood, and they were abandoned in the dark alley.

(The blood from the corpse did not clot, it was lukewarm, and the murderer was nearby...... ）

Just thinking like this, Gong Jin saw a black shadow lightning rushing by, although he couldn't see the face clearly, but judging from the armor and chain hammer, it was undoubtedly Xiao Qiao.

"Little Joe!"

Gong Jin chased after him, and after some chase, he caught up with Xiao Qiao, and in the process of chasing, he had already found that Xiao Qiao's posture and appearance seemed to have changed somewhat, and the worst might have happened.

Xiao Qiao didn't answer, her back to Gong Jin, her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of something, and she seemed to be crying silently.

Gong Jin knew that he couldn't be too anxious, so he took a deep breath and tried to approach that side as calmly as possible.

"Little Joe, don't worry, if there's anything, we can all ...... together"

The hand slapped on Xiao Qiao's shoulder, Gong Jin felt a strong demonic aura, and his heart was gloomy, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the material of the fraternity holy armor ...... Wrong.

(This is not the Sacred Armor of Fraternity, it is a forgery, this person...... Not Little Joe!)

Before Gong Jin realized this and became alert, the creature on the other side suddenly turned his head...... It was only the head, which turned in a semicircle in an eerie circle, and spat out a puff of purple smoke, and from the fishy smell alone, it was known that it contained a high degree of poison.

Gong Jin tried to retreat for the first time, but the monster's body burst open, and the two rows of ribs instantly became huge, opening and closing like two hands of claws, trapping Gong Jin at once, making it difficult for him to move.

(Not good!)

The best inner family true qi in the White Deer Cave exploded on Gong Jin's body, and cracks appeared in the two rows of bone claws in an instant, but before he could completely break free from the restraints, the ghost head who didn't know what kind of creature gave birth to a sharp and long mouthpiece from his mouth, and stabbed down towards Gong Jin's eyebrows.

(Damn, this should be the garrison range of Rouge...... ）
