"What's that? Who's coming?"

Wei Hong is no stranger to the word "fight" at all, and various city-states often compete for resources and population. Even in the past, when the blood demon had not disappeared and the roads between the cities were not smooth, everyone had no shortage of battles, and there would still be a competition between similar cities to discuss rankings.

In the past six months, with the increasingly frequent exchanges between various cities, even the news of the destruction of the city has not been reported, not to mention that it is just a sentence of "called". So Wei Hong didn't have any ripples in his heart when he heard it, but he was just curious, which city is "Great Qi"?

"You, you know to stay at home all day to strike iron, and you don't look at what form it is now, you don't even know Daqi. ”

Lao Fan looks like he is about forty, white and tender, and has a pair of ears the size of an adult's palm, which is not surprising, there will always be some changes after fusing the soul card, not that he is a god or an alien. He preached at this time, and a pair of big ears fanned and fanned, quite happy.

"Twelve Liancheng knows? It is rumored that the reason why the Eastern Wilderness is like this ghost is because the saber of the great general Wang, the Blood Moon Knife, was left behind in the Eastern Wilderness, and there was a powerful person named Jun Yueyi in the Twelve Liancheng, who actually pulled out this knife, and the curse of the Eastern Wilderness was lifted. And in order to honor this powerful man and take him as the emperor, the Twelve Liancheng established the Great Qi State, and now they are internally stable, but they want to go west and swallow our ancient city-state into the imperial territory. ”

Wei Hong was stunned, they all knew that the change started half a year ago, but they didn't know what the specific reason was, and now when they heard Lao Fan say it, they couldn't help but believe it a little, and instinctively thought about the war in the ancient city state, where would they go.

"What does the lord say?"

"How else can we say, we can't even resist any of the clans of the Twelve Liancheng, how can we deal with the Great Qi Empire that is clenched into a fist, there is no other way than to annex, at most it is just to talk about the conditions and benefits. ”

Wei Hong was worried when he heard this, and he staggered back to Fu Heng's side, and repeated what he had just heard to the other party.

His family can become a county gentry, naturally he is also insightful, many people may think that the world is unified, and it will naturally be governed, but they don't know that it is before this dawn that is the darkest hour. Before the Great Qi completely brought the ancient city-state under his rule, he didn't dare to imagine what the entire ancient city-state would become.

"Mr. Fu, what do you think?"

Although people who are not necessarily strong must have knowledge, Wei Hong is panicked, and he still subconsciously wants to find a backbone.

Fu Heng was also a little surprised, although he did feel the changes in the Eastern Wilderness along the way, he didn't expect it to be such a reason. And the impact of this change in the situation on his trip may really be.

This place of the ancient city-state is the remnant of the ancient city-state, and the elite clan forces in the city-state of all ethnic groups migrated to a place far away from Taiyiguan, confronted the cadre army, and became the twelve cities, which is the foundation of today's Great Qi.

And those who stayed were all small clans and tribes that couldn't leave or didn't want to leave. Originally, there were few of them, and they were not afraid of great revenge, so after the big clan left, they survived on the wreckage of the civilization of the city-state of all races. That's how an existence like East Elm City came about.

Because it is the legacy of the city-state of all ethnic groups in the past, it is indeed rich in products, but it can be sandwiched between the twelve cities and the Daqian mining area, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is still a long time.

Just like the rats in the bellows, the two ends are angry, today the twelve cities and the blood demon fire have killed a lot of people, come here to plunder some people back, tomorrow the Daqian mining area will kill a lot of people, from here to plunder some people back, coupled with the special environment of the Eastern Wilderness, the road is blocked, so it has not developed for more than 100 years, and it is still a plate of scattered sand.

Now the twelve cities have become the Great Qi, there is a trend of unifying the Eastern Wilderness, the ancient city-state is inextricable, because of the legacy of the city-states of all ethnic groups, the ancient city-state is much larger than the twelve cities, and there is a solid foundation of civilization, as long as it is swallowed and digested, the Great Qi can become a country that wrestles with the Great Qian, although it is far from the same in terms of national strength, it is really at the same level, and it is no longer as the scattered soldiers like the Twelve Liancheng.

At that time, if Daqian wants to conquer the Eastern Wilderness again, he will launch a war to destroy the country, and the difficulty will increase exponentially than fighting twelve cities.

Therefore, the focus of the Great Qi and Great Qian's rivalry will inevitably converge on the ancient city-state, and it is impossible to imagine what this place will become. And in the face of the battlefield where the two great powers competed, even if Fu Heng had broken through the martial arts master now, he still had a lot of apprehension in his heart.

It seems that it is necessary to find the map as soon as possible before the incident in the city-state.

Thinking like this, Fu Heng said to Wei Hong: "I think without further ado, we should set off as soon as possible." ”

......

As soon as Tai was closed, Gu Shenji looked at the equally clear sky in the distance, a hideous color flashed on his face, and a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Shenji, the military lord sent me to assist you in guarding Taiyi Pass. ”

Without looking back, Gu Shenji knew who it was, and said in a voice that was neither yin nor yang: "He is afraid that I will send troops without permission under impulse, and he wants to use you to balance me." ”

Xue Ru was dressed in armor, Shi Shiran walked to Gu Shenji's side, also looked at the clear sky in front of him, and said with a smile: "The military master also cares about you, after all, you are a brother." ”

Gu Shenji was a little silent, and only after a long time did he say, "The old man's injury, is it okay?"

Xue Ru smiled bitterly, the difference between the two brothers is almost thirty years old, and it is reasonable to call the old man.

"Fortunately, it's just more lingering, and the Blood Moon Knife is really as strong as recorded in ancient books. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Ru's heart also had some lingering palpitations. Thinking back to that day, the blood moon was in the sky, the heavens and the earth collapsed, and although that slash was not the legendary blood moon arc light slash, it also carried great power, directly slashing the flagship of the ancient divine skill in two sections. Then the Blood Knife awakened the power of the Eastern Wilderness, the evil qi was revived, and everything withered. The Changfeng Army was defeated so inexplicably, and was chased by more than a dozen god tiers to the head of Taiyi Pass, which could be regarded as recovering its decline.

Now the situation of the war is beyond the control of their Changfeng Army, and they can only wait for the imperial court to come up with ideas.

"Damn. ”

Gu Shenji gritted his teeth and spit out two words, and he didn't know whether he was scolding the enemy army in the Twelve Cities, or complaining that the imperial court couldn't help.

The two of them stood silently for a while, and Gu Shenji couldn't help but say, "You don't have anything to tell me when you come this time?"

"Uh," Xue Ru hesitated for a moment before he said, "The order from the imperial court has come down." ”

"Huh?" Gu Shenji turned back suddenly: "Why didn't you say earlier? When will their reinforcements arrive? Will it be the North-South Forbidden Army, or the ASEAN Army? Who will lead the troops?"

"Uh......" Xue Ru looked a little embarrassed when he was asked, and he couldn't speak.

Gu Shenji's heart sank suddenly, and he said in a dry voice: "No...... Reinforcements, huh?"

"This, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are still many things to deal with in the country, Rongdi in the north, and the demon gate in the south ......"

"Bang," Xue Ru didn't finish speaking, but he was interrupted by this loud noise, and Gu Shenji punched the female wall of Taiyi Pass, and the wall battlements protected by rune formations were shaken by the beating, and the stone chips flew wildly.

Ignoring the blood left on the back of his hand, Gu Shenji scolded: "These bastards who are vegetarian in the corpse position, don't they say that they are virtuous and promising? Doesn't they say that everyone expects to return? Doesn't it say that the Holy Emperor has come to the world? Why hasn't it been half a year, and they haven't secured that position? What are they waiting for? What do they want to wait for? Do they wait for the king to swallow the city-states of all races and completely expand them, and then cede us out?"

Xue Ru knew that nothing was good, but he also had to explain and appease, because one of his tasks here was this.

"Don't worry, although my great cadres are strong, but it is a land of four wars, there are ice fields and grasslands in the north, barbarians are raging in the south, bandits are rampant in the west, and there are this chaotic place in the east of the east, even within the country, there are various forces in the country, cutting constantly, and the reason is still chaotic, Your Majesty has newly ascended the throne, and you must always understand his difficulties. Besides, I didn't say that there were really no reinforcements. ”

Gu Shenji's eyes lit up, and the bunch of what Xue Ru said before was automatically filtered, leaving only this last sentence, and immediately asked, "Where are the reinforcements?"

"Uh," Xue Ru said stiffly, "Your Majesty has sent all the butterfly dances around him." ”

Gu Shenji was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he said coldly: "What's the use of these withered people?"

Xue Ru perked up and said, "Otherwise, I think that according to the current situation, they came at the right time." ”

Without waiting for Gu Shenji to ask, Xue Ru continued: "You think, with the current situation in the Eastern Wilderness, the time and place are not on our side, it may be that a fully staffed and fully armed regular group army may not be able to please it, and its rise is unstoppable. If we give up on the positive, we will make a fuss in other aspects. ”

"For example?" For his only friend and hair, Gu Shenji was barely able to bear it and listen to it.

"For example, the pattern of the city-state, the pattern of the twelve cities is too small, even if Jun Yue is the emperor, he is at most a bandit, but if he is allowed to swallow the ancient city-state, it must be a situation of trapped dragons ascending to heaven, so preventing him from swallowing the city-state is our most important task at present. ”

This came to the original topic again, and Gu Shenji's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy: "How to stop it? The ancient city state and the Twelve Liancheng are naturally close, and they don't even have the strength to resist in the face of Jun Yue, except that we send troops to suppress the Eastern Wilderness as a whole, what other way can we stop it? Relying on those withered people? Jun Yueyi is not the third king, he will not sell the accounts of the imperial court." ”

"That's right, we really can't stop Jun Yueyi from devouring the ancient city-state, but ......" Xue Ru paused and said, "We can slow down the speed at which Jun Yueyi devours the ancient city-state. ”
