Darkness in Progress 2 Chapter 30: The Eve of War (2)
The beacon towers are still burning one after another, and they are approaching the royal capital, Wang Gui is sitting in the court at this time to deal with government affairs, and the grain and grass of Zhou County have been transported and must be distributed to the cities of the dynasty as soon as possible.
Ji Wen watched Sun Ning and Yuexing fight in Haofu, after they came back from Sacred Heart Mountain, the gap in combat power has been significantly shortened, and Haoyuexing doesn't seem to be able to really speak, and now he can only make a sound.
Hao Suning stabbed out a cone-shaped energy 'Thorn Yao Xuan', which was easily split by Yuexing, she took advantage of Sun Ning and was still gathering energy, and 'Phantom' directly approached him to forcibly interrupt, although he only used a dagger, but his strength was not inferior to his brother, Hao Suning had to use another hand to break the stalemate.
Hao Yuexing deftly flipped behind Sunning again, and used a strengthened attack 'Nether Rift', Hao Suning barely used the energy that could not be fully gathered to shoot a ball of fire, taking advantage of the overflow of energy, Hao Suning stabbed out the Phoenix Slash Knife again, and the flames formed a vortex 'Protector Yao Xuan'.
It turned out that Hao Suning sensed that the moon star had condensed a powerful energy on the other side, and the stab was to hurt the enemy, and the protector played the role of a shield.
However, two shadow energy balls suddenly appeared on both sides of Hao Suning's back, and he jumped back, so the two balls were brought together, and the 'Torch Blade', a sudden raised red energy, not only cut off the two black balls, but also split the Yaoxuan, directly defeating the moon star.
Hao Suning's current ability can barely match his mother's general state, and when Ji Wen uses the Holy Light Battle Armor, Hao Suning can be said to be powerless to fight back.
"Urgent, the northeast beacon fire is ignited."
Ji Wen and Wang Gui received the bad news from their subordinates almost at the same time, and they quickly left the room and approached each other's location, and Hao Sunny and Hao Yuexing also hurriedly followed their mother.
"You." The two who almost collided said in unison, as if they were telepathic, and they both rushed to the main hall.
At this time, some officials had already arrived in the main hall, and there were many discussions, and when they saw Wang Gui recently, they hurriedly shut up.
Wang Gui sat on the throne and said, "Presumably, all the kings have seen the beacon fire on the wall of the royal capital, and Qi County has been attacked, it is likely that the empire wants to recapture the Holy Light Continent." ”
A minister raised doubts: "There is a sea of revenants between Qi County and the Shadow Continent, how did the empire cross it?" ”
Another person said: "It must have been assembled on the island a long time ago, and the so-called chivalrous sect is not reliable at all, and it must have rebelled." ”
"Maybe they didn't want to be obedient in the first place."
"This matter will be discussed in the future, the grain and grass of Zhou County just arrived the day before yesterday, and now it is just right to use some of it as military rations, and when Qin County finishes integrating the army, mobilize some to the two counties of Zhou Cheng as border defense, so as not to make a noise from the empire, the empire's shadow lotus may also be involved, and order all the warriors in each county who have weapons forged by the god of creation to gather together and attack together."
"It is also necessary to issue a notice that all the bladeless countries must enter a state of combat readiness, prepare to pacify the refugees, and requisition the people and energy awakeners in the cities."
The war started without prediction, Qi County is different from other county towns, it rains heavily all year round in the sea area between it and the Shadow Continent, and ordinary ships have no possibility to cross at all, and there is no energy tower built between the two places, and it is easy to get lost, so the border of Qi County is not garrisoned.
As for the place near the island, although many ports were built to garrison troops, there were only more than 7,000 people, and only 2,000 could be transferred after receiving the war order.
Qin Jingru packed up her things and was about to go to the training ground to lead the troops, but Qin Guan's letter arrived, he told her that she was not allowed to participate in the war, and she was not even allowed to return to Qin County, she had always obeyed her father's orders, and she had no choice but to put down her bags.
Mr. Guo was too old to go to war, so he stayed in the hut.
Time flies, but the empire has not moved, wolf smoke and energy tower have been in a state of readiness, Fengle continues to send people to investigate, although these people came back safe and sound, but their intelligence has not moved. However, there is also news that the Empire's forces are still increasing, and it is clear that they are hoarding troops.
Qi County City is now managed by Qi Biao's shield guard Dai Wei, he dispatched the whole county's troops to Nanqiancheng to set up defenses, although the entire Qi County can mobilize as many as 30,000 troops, but the grain and grass of Zhou County has not yet been transported, and the current military food supply is not enough to maintain such a large team, so the reinforcement of Nanqiancheng is only 10,000 troops.
The land that can be used to grow crops in Qi County is really scarce, and the residents of the original Holy Kingdom used the methods recorded in the "True God Chronicle" to grow crops, but since the Holy Kingdom was completely slaughtered, this method has also been lost, and they can only rely on the grain and grass of Zhou County and the seafood of Wu County.
It is worth mentioning that the trees in Qi County grow extremely fast, which is why they are responsible for the construction of weapons.
"Can't wait for the Empire to strike? What are the 40,000 troops doing in the past, sending them to death, if you want to win the final victory in the battle, you must spend some time preparing before the war! Can't wait? Then I'll tell you secretly, the empire was defeated, but all this has nothing to do with that guy named Qin Feng, this so-called protagonist just lives for a long time, and it's one thing not to participate in the battle. Want to know who said this? How could I possibly tell you that you don't know anything about me except that I exist, that I'm a subordinate of Shadow Lotus, so that you won't be bored, so I'll be reluctant to adjust the time to three days later. ”
"Are all the generals here?" Shadow Lotus asked.
Hehe (just don't say) said, "It's all here." ”
Shadow Lotus looked at Shi Huan, who was still concentrating on the refining furnace, he had already refined the two swords of Berserk and King Blade, which were integrated into Shadow Lotus's Moon Substitute Knife and Three-Edged Spear, respectively, and now they had become legendary-level battle knives.
Isn't it very confusing why Shi Huan would refine the shadow lotus so easily? Hmph, why do you think he is alone in Qi County, there is not even a fellow brother around, expelled from the division, Huai Cai has not met, it is not easy to have such a place to display his talents, who is not impressed.
Now in the smelting furnace is the Burst Knife, and the Lingri Shield as a melting material is used to make up for the lack of the Burst Knife, however, Shi Jia feels that this part of the supplement has never been able to merge with the blade, and there seems to be an inexplicable rejection.
Shadow Lotus seemed impatient to wait, and said, "If it doesn't work, let's let it return to its original state." ”
Shi gave up trying to merge the blade and the blade, intending to make it directly into a piece of flying blade, but they had an inexplicable attraction, and the two parts became difficult to separate.
Shi Jun directly put the mold on it to cool, steam gushed out in an instant, seeing that there was no red brand on the surface of the knife, Shadow Lotus directly picked up the cracked knife, the magic is that the pieces of flying blades flew directly without energy guidance, they did not directly complete the blade, but directly floated, Shadow Lotus was surprised, simply waved, these blades also flew with it.
"Shield-bearers, surround me."
The shield-wielding Imperial warriors formed a circle, and Shadow Lotus stood inside, he injected shadow energy into the Burst Knife, and then quickly turned, and the blade flew in all directions, either piercing into the shield or being bounced away, and when Shadow Lotus released the energy, the flying blades were all sucked back.
Shadow Lotus is ecstatic, but Shikin tells him that there are no materials to use.
"King, a strange stone (meteorite) you got earlier is just right to use as a material."
"The stone that fell from the sky, you say? Does it really make sense to use these stones as materials? ”
"Of course, as long as you temper it a lot, the war knife fused with this stone will be even harder."
So, Shadow Lotus asked someone to bring the strange stone, and because of the strange source, Shadow Lotus kept ordering someone to bring it.
Shi Yan got this strange stone and asked suspiciously: "What is the difference between this and ordinary stones?" ”
"You can try to smelt it."
"Smelting this stone? You should know that there is no way to smelt stone with charcoal now. ”
"That's why it's called the Strange Stone."
Shi Jia put the stone into the furnace in disbelief, and as a result, the molten liquid quickly flowed into the equipment of the Badao Knife, and Shi Yuan, who wanted to say something, could only concentrate on refining.
At this time, Wang Di suddenly walked up, and he said to Shadow Lotus, "King, I am willing to sacrifice my left eye as a material for smelting weapons, hoping to be reused by the King. ”
"Do you want to be a captain like Xiao Xue, your strength is enough to appoint, but your eyes, is there anything special."
"I have been called an alien by my family since I was born, and because my eyes resemble a phoenix and have the prestige of a phoenix, I want to dedicate it to the king."
Without waiting for Yinghe to speak, Wang Di directly picked out his left eye, and forcibly cut off the connected nerves with the pain. Blood stained his entire left hand, slowly reaching out to Shadow Lotus.
Shadow Lotus didn't feel uncomfortable, after all, he had seen a more cruel picture than this, he picked up the eyeball with one hand, waited until the smelting of the release was over, and placed it in the middle.
"Wow~." The red brand instantly burned the eye, which instead stimulated its energy, and when the blade cooled, the eyeball was intact.
Yinghe suddenly took a knife and swung it at Wang Di, and the overlord knife rested on his shoulder, Wang Di, from now on, you are the general of the phoenix eye.
Hearing this, Wang Di looked at Ying He in disbelief.
"Surprised? I think you have what it takes to be a general, don't make me doubt my eyes. ”
"The general Wang Di will not disgrace his mission and swear to contribute to the Shadow Empire."
Shadow Lotus continued: "Don't forget your original intention, protect Xiao Xue, she will be the guardian of the Rainstorm Core, appointed as the Raincore General. ”
Four legendary swords are in the hands of Shadow Lotus, and Shi Yan also used the remaining strange stone raw materials to create armor, everything is ready, and the war will officially start.
