"It's not good, Huo Boy and the sword wolf are surrounded by the demon clan and can't break through." Shang Mingwu stood on a beacon tower more than ten miles west of the Seven Nights City in the Heavenly Sin Desert and muttered to himself.

Under the twenty-zhang beacon tower, the blood of hundreds of brave demon bodies of the desolate clan was still not cold. It seems that there has just been a big battle between the vanguard of the human race and the Desolate Demon Clan under this lookout.

Shang Mingwu turned to look to the east again, and his eyes flew away: "The eldest grandson and her Mangguan Feiqi seem to be in danger. ”

The beacon tower where the leader of the Demon Guard stands is located in the central area of the Seven Nights City, the Sea of Flowers, and the Heavenly Sin Desert, and of course it is not the beautiful scenery of the Seven Nights, but the enemy situation - raising smoke during the day and fire at night is a signal that the enemy is coming.

Shang Mingwu looked coldly at the beacon fire that had been lit, motionless.

The reason why he did not send people to gallop to help Sun Longqing was because the vanguard force was only 3,000 people, and the strength was limited. Now, the enemy situation on the eldest grandson's side is unknown, and I don't know how many demon reinforcements there will be behind.

Disperse the forces is really the best policy.

And he didn't immediately lead the army into Seven Nights City to help Huo Jiucheng and the sword wolf. Why: Seven Nights City has been warned - it was a desolate warrior who desperately lit a beacon fire and sent out a wolf smoke signal before he died.

If I go to Seven Nights again, I'm afraid I will be ambushed.

Of course, there is another important reason - military orders!

It's just that the two vanguard units have different missions.

Before leaving, the old man advised. Without his military order, no disruptive deployment between each unit is allowed, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!

Even if the military intelligence is urgent, even if all the people are wiped out by the demons. and not to each other.

According to the strategic deployment, Shang Mingwu was the vanguard of the first army, and the task was to occupy the entire Seven Nights City. The members include Zi (rat) Huo Jiucheng, Mao (rabbit) Qingyang, Yin (tiger) Shen Xie, Chen (dragon) Ye Feihong, Chou (Niu) Tie Shilei, and the forbidden army scout guard sword wolf.

And the eldest grandson Longqing and her Mangguan Flying Cavalry are the vanguard of the second army, and their mission is to reconnoiter the hundred kilometers along the range of Seven Nights City and fight against the reinforcements of the demons. The members include Sun Longqing, the eldest Sun of Wu (Ma), Bai Mengying (snake), Situ Lingsheng (sheep), Han Tianzuo (monkey), Murong Ziyuan, Yang Yanfeng (dog), and Jiang Ping'an.

When Shang Mingwu thought of the old man, he couldn't help but lower his head and maintain a respectful posture.

That person is, the former Governor of Mangguan, and today's Marshal of the Allied Army: Geshuhanbei.

It's a name that makes people's blood boil, and he's a legend.

The old man, though his beard was gray, was about seventy years old. But he still retains a calm eye. The eyes were withered, dark, and godless. At the same time, he is calm, sensitive, and intelligent. He has been in charge of Mangguan for more than 40 years and is the highest military governor in the Mangguan area. It has jurisdiction over the military and government affairs of the three provinces and four towns of Mangguan. He also manages food and salary, and controls the three strokes of Mangguan, Dingma, and Yebei. Aozhou, Pingshan, Liaojiang, Youcheng four towns.

The sixty-fifth generation leader of the Demon Slayer Guardians - admire his legends.

In the past forty years, the demons have committed ninety-nine crimes. Among them, there were 29 major battles and 70 minor battles. In addition, the number of times he has gone out of the customs to disturb the demon clan is countless.

Of course, what Shang Mingwu admires most about him is his achievements.

Fifty-two victories, thirty-seven defeats, and ten draws. This record, in the case of many defeats and few victories in this thousand-year-old human and demon war, is simply a legend.

For this reason, Geshu Hanbei was known as the first general in the millennium, and the army gave him a nickname: "God of the Army".

In fact, the god of war had already returned to his hometown ten years ago, and he lived in seclusion in a small village in the hidden city. lived the idyllic life of an ordinary farmer.

Even the neighbors didn't know that the lean old man who lived opposite was once a general who commanded thousands of troops, a true legend.

I'm afraid that even he didn't expect that ten years after leaving the barracks, he would be drafted into the army again, put on a coat of battle, and command the last battle of his life.

The long night was too cold, and I was in a trance last night.

The old man has been out of the customs for 40 years, and he has been running thousands of miles to subdue the demons.

The best destination for soldiers is to die on the battlefield, and it is better to sacrifice vigorously than to grow old ordinarily, give full play to the value of life, and draw a perfect end to their legendary life.

The moon rose, and under the moonlight, Shang Mingwu stood on the beacon tower and looked in the direction of the Seven Nights City:

A lone moon hangs over the towering Seven Nights Castle Tower. The crescent moon is like a hook, enveloping the entire sea of flowers of the seven nights.

When he was young, he didn't know the moon when he was young, and he was called a white jade plate. There is a suspicious Yaotai mirror, flying in the blue clouds.

When I grow up: It is also under such a moon, when you and I were young, we used to refer to the moon as an alliance, and the holy moon can be a witness, and our love can be with the sun and the moon. To the old earth, to the desolation.

It's bigger: the war between man and demon resumes, and it's time to leave. We swear by the moon again, and when the mountains and rivers are reunited, the sword is returned to the sheath, and then we return to you to take off our robes.

In the impression of the sixty-fifth generation leader of the Demon Slayer Guard, the moon is soft, quiet, and beautiful.

From the lack of the moon to the full moon, from the vast pass to the seven nights.

Look at it shining all over the desert of sin, look at the cold tears in your eyes.

Shang Mingwu knew that looking at the moon in the vast pass was definitely different from looking at the moon in the desert of heavenly sin.

All the prosperity and peace of human beings are locked up in this majestic pass.

And when I got out of the pass, everything was burned to desolation by the flames of war, and only the eyes were blank.

Shang Mingwu stroked the sachet in his arms, and the fragrance was gone. There was only a layer of yellow left on it, rubbed by fingernails. The place where he stood was more than five thousand miles away from Mangguan, and only ten kilometers away from Seven Nights City.

For thousands of years, only their generation has done it - through the Heavenly Sin Desert to the Seven Nights City, 5,000 kilometers away.

The man knew in his heart that even if he failed this time. In the future, there will be people like him who will go forward and spend day after day to realize that dream that will never be possible - to destroy the demons and dominate the world

This is an extravagant hope, and the probability of realization is almost equal to zero. But there are times when the hope rises – like this one, known in history as the Battle of the Seven Nights – as the most likely dream comes true in human history.

At this time, Shang Mingwu did not know how much impact this battle would have on future generations.

After the Battle of the Seven Nights, humans no longer have the ability to fight against demons. Humans can only trade with demons, and every year they send "human (rations)" in exchange for false peace.

And the demon exterminators used the slogan of demon extermination to deceive young people from generation to generation. For these young warriors, they are the slaves of this lie, the vast pass, the seven nights, the whole world. For this lie, everyone happily died.

Everyone is a slave to something, it may be wealth, it may be affection, and no one can escape.

And for Shang Mingwu at this time, the tears in front of the mirror and the appearance of parting mean - all.

People are hard to dismantle,

And I:

"I just want to watch the dark moon rising in the Seven Nights City under the string moon of the Heavenly Sin Desert."
