The fierce battle in the center of the battlefield has been going on for almost an hour.

Zhong Yuan's armor soldiers also began to have some casualties, of course, this is not because of the cooperation between the two sides, in fact, they have done this kind of thing many times in the past year, both sides are also the elite of the elite, as long as they are willing, the two sides can fight every battle unscathed with deliberate cooperation, and there is only one reason for the casualties......

The extraterritorial qi that permeates this battlefield has become more and more intense, especially in the past month, the intensity of the extraterritorial qi has reached the point where it is about to condense into substance, and under such circumstances, staying on this battlefield for even a breath of time is a huge test for the mind.

They had been on the battlefield for a full hour.

In the process, extraterritorial forces continue to erode their minds, and there will always be people who lose their minds and fall into madness.

In the past, such things also happened from time to time, and because once they fell into madness, it was difficult to be reversed, so there were some conventions between Zhong Yuan and the Wei army.

Since once someone falls into madness, both sides will kill them, firstly, to prevent the crazy people from constantly slashing and disrupting their plans in the formation, and secondly, it can also use the killed people as bargaining chips to the imperial court, so as not to have a long war but no casualties.

But recently, the intensity of the extraterritorial power on this battlefield has exceeded their cognition, and after an hour, except for more than 100 people who were killed because of madness, a large part of the remaining people are already on the verge of rational collapse, and as time goes by, the number of such people is still increasing dramatically.

……

"General, we have to retreat, the extraterritorial atmosphere on this battlefield today is too strong, and if it goes on like this, a large number of brothers will fall into madness......" An adjutant who had realized that the situation was not right, he came to Zhong Yuan's side and said loudly.

Zhong Yuan was stunned when he heard this, he looked around with heavy eyes, and indeed found that whether it was the Great Qin or the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were a large number of postures with red eyes, black meridians on their foreheads, and at the same time, there was a rich purple qi around them, which was a precursor to being eroded by extraterritorial forces and falling into madness.

Zhong Yuan's brows furrowed at that time, and he looked sideways at the direction of the depression where Chu Qingxiao and the others went, where Chu Qingxiao and the others had long since disappeared, and only the armor soldiers led by Wei Xuan were there directing and acting out the drama of the confrontation between the two armies......

He couldn't be sure how Chu Qingxiao and the others were progressing now, and how long it would take to complete the transformation.

But they have already sent Chu Qingxiao to the place where the power outside the territory is the strongest, and the task has been completed, retreating at this moment is indeed a good opportunity to retreat with his whole body.

Therefore, he nodded, looked at the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty over there, and the two sides exchanged glances, naturally both of them understood each other's thoughts.

It's just that he was just about to announce the news of his withdrawal with the Northern Wei generals, but at this moment, a high-pitched military horn suddenly sounded in Longjiang City and the large camp in the direction of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Both sides were stunned, looked sideways behind them, and saw that in front of their respective camps, there was a huge blood-colored flag slowly raised, and there was no totem or other pattern on the flag, just embroidered with a simple word - "death"!

"Death card!" When he saw that thing clearly, Zhong Yuan's eyes froze, the expression on his face became solemn and frightened, and the faces of his companions around him also changed, and their expressions were ugly.

The Death Battle Card, also known as the Death Battle Flag, is the product of the fierce battles between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty for more than a year.

You must know that in the later stages of the war, both sides of the battle have long been tired of such endless wars, so it is inevitable that there will be people trying to survive on the battlefield by not working hard.

Both sides of the war are extremely low enthusiasm for the battle, many times, both sides are just on the battlefield to go through the motions, not even bother to wave the sword twice, after an hour, it will end hastily, after all, no one is a fool, if it is not a last resort, who will pay for their lives for this endless and meaningless war?

But this kind of tacit understanding is obviously not what the two courts are willing to see, so the death card was born.

Once this thing is hung out, it means that the warring parties need to enter into a fierce battle to the death, and there are only two ways to end such a death match, one is naturally one of the people and horses completely killed, and the other is ......

Chose not to follow such rules and returned to the camp.

But the reason why rules are rules is because once you choose not to follow them, it often comes with a huge cost.

This is no exception in Longjiang City.

Once someone chooses not to obey the orders given by Longjiang City, and retreats to the camp in fear of battle, Longjiang City will send personnel to count the number of people killed on the battlefield as soon as possible, which is not a simple count, in this process they will work together with the personnel sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty to also count the battlefield, and inform each other of the number of people obtained, so as to get the number of enemy soldiers killed by their respective armies in this battle.

They would then put this data in the hands of the army commander, who would select the same number of soldiers from the army as they would kill.

And these selected soldiers are the lucky ones who can survive, and the rest will be beheaded on the spot for treason......

Therefore, the death battle card can be said to be the most afraid thing for the soldiers of Longjiang City and the Northern Wei Dynasty, of course, this thing has hardly appeared on the battlefield recently, after all, the extraterritorial power on the battlefield is now strong, and many people who are a little less determined to come here, without any means at all, they themselves will become cruel and murderous, it should be the first time in the past three months, Longjiang City and the Northern Wei Dynasty have hung out the death battle card at the same time......

"General Zhong...... What are we going to do? Yu Xiao, this bastard, wants us to die! A lieutenant general stepped forward at this time, he looked at Zhong Yuan, and said with gritted teeth.

"He won't let us live, so we'll fight with them, general, as long as you give an order, we will turn the horse's head now, kill back, and turn that Raushzi Forbidden Dragon Guard upside down!" Someone else spoke at this time.

These people are all the elites of the Shenwu Guard who have followed Zhong Yuan for many years, and all of them are fierce and ruthless.

Now in this Dragon Frontier City, they are embarrassed by Yu Xiao and his forbidden dragon guards everywhere, and everyone who has long been holding back their anger in their hearts is ready to fight with Yu Xiao at this moment.

And as someone said this, at the moment, the crowd was furious, and some people shouted and wanted to turn their heads and kill the rear.

"Nonsense!" And at this moment, Zhong Yuan let out a low roar, stopping the angry crowd.

His prestige in the army has always been extremely high, and when they saw that his face was angry, everyone was stunned, and then turned their heads to look at him directly, looking confused.

"Go back, there are no less than ten fingers of the powerhouses of the Ten Realms in Longjiang City, can you beat them? Your Majesty and Zhao Nianshuang are also on the way here, and their cultivation is now unknown, do you think we can deal with it? Zhong Yuan asked in a gloomy tone at that time.

When these words came out, the group of armor soldiers showed disgruntle, and the man who first proposed to counterattack Longjiang City even said: "What if you can't beat it? ”

"Since Yu Xiao dares to sacrifice the death battle card, he doesn't want to give us a way to live, instead of being slowly devoured by the power of extraterritoriality here, and finally shooting at his companions, it is better to fight with Yu Xiao, how many can be killed, how can it be better than dying here?" The man was visibly exasperated, and spoke in a very high tone, and his voice was as loud as thunder with anger.

When everyone around them heard this, they also nodded their heads and agreed with each other's proposal.

"Haven't you been out of the death battle card for a few months, today suddenly our Great Wei and your Great Qin are hanging at the same time, it is impossible to be accidental, they must have some suspicions, so they will hang the death battle card." But at this moment, another voice suddenly came, it was a general from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"What do you mean?" The most excited armorer looked at the Northern Wei man and asked.

Even now, they have joined forces with some armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but most of the old troops of these Shenwu troops have experienced the invasion of the Northern Wei Dynasty twelve years ago, and they are still somewhat hostile to the Northern Wei people.

But before the Northern Wei generals could respond, Zhong Yuan's voice sounded before him.

"Whether it's Yu Xiao or the Northern Wei Dynasty, it's obvious that we've found some clues, once we don't continue to fight, and turn around and return to our respective camps, whether to raise our swords to resist, or to be captured, the result is death, this, I think everyone has no doubts, right?" Zhong Yuan looked at everyone in a calm tone and asked.

Although this was not so pleasant, everyone had to nod their heads at this time.

Their group of people, even if they add the various opposing forces that have been connected before, it is still difficult to shake Longjiang City, which has the silent support of the ancestral gods behind them.

This is also the reason why even if their alliance has reached a consensus with many people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they still dare not rise up.

Zhong Yuan continued to say at this time: "And after we are suppressed and die, or we flee back to the camp and are captured, Yu Xiao will definitely count the number of people killed in battle with the Northern Wei Dynasty, although the management of soldiers in Longjiang City is chaotic, but the difference in numbers will not be too large, and they will soon find that there are more than 1,000 people who are alive and dead, and they will not see the corpses......"

When Zhong Yuan said this, he paused slightly, and his eyes swept over everyone present again.

"Our death is small, but if it arouses Yu Xiao's suspicions, so that he can find the traces of Chu Siming, and it is a big deal, you and I are under Jiuquan, how should we face the world and be so rare?"

Zhong Yuan's tone was calm, but the question he asked was like a hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present, and everyone's faces changed, and they also realized the seriousness of the matter.

The armor soldier who had made the most trouble just now turned even pale, he looked at Zhong Yuan, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then according to the general's intentions, what should we do now?" ”

"Yu Xiao didn't hang up the card of death, then we will listen to him and fight to the death." Zhong Yuan said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on everyone's faces became more and more pale.

Zhong Yuan also obviously understood the consequences of such a decision, and at this time, he swept over the people present, his tone was a little lower, and he said, "Everyone! We have been in this Dragon Frontier City for more than a year, and we can all see clearly what is happening here. ”

"If this battle continues like this, not only will we die, but the people of Great Qin behind us will also die!"

"The battle of Longjiang City has been fought for a year, and in the territory of Daqin, the drought and snow disaster have also lasted for a year, and now the various states and counties of Daqin have long been ten rooms and nine empty, you see, the soldiers who have been collected from all over the country recently, and the eleven or twelve-year-old dolls have been pulled to death! Some of these dolls aren't as tall as a sword! I can't bear it! ”

"Why did we join the Shenwu Army back then?"

"Isn't it just to save the world from fire and water?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu became the emperor and forgot his original intention, but our Shenwu Army has never forgotten it for a moment!"

"Now the success or failure of what Chu Si has done is related to the safety of the world, and I promised him that even if he doesn't want to fight for this life, I will ensure that he completes this move."

"Therefore, today Zhong Yuan is brave and invites all the old troops of the Shenwu Army and the brothers of the Northern Wei Dynasty to ...... together."

"Die with me!"

……

Outside the city of Longjiang.

After months of drought, the ground cracked, and the wind would roll up the yellow sand all over the ground, and the white bones could be faintly visible under the dust.

On the dry branches, only the black crow stopped, but after a few sharp screams, it flapped its wings and flapped away.

And under this hellish scene, a team of people slowly came from afar.

Contrary to the desolation around them, this group of men and horses can be described as freshly dressed and angry, they are dressed in satin, their clothes are bright, and the horses under their crotch are fat and strong, even the mane on their head is shining.

In the center of the procession is a huge palanquin.

It is said that it is a sedan chair, but it is actually a little inappropriate.

The bottom of the "sedan chair" stretched out a total of 15 horizontal logs, each of which was as thick as an adult man's waist, and two people at each end needed to resist on their shoulders, and a sedan chair needed to be carried by 60 people. And these sixty people are all martial artists who have cultivated beyond the Five Realms, and their strength is not comparable to ordinary people at all.

This sedan chair being carried is not a sedan chair at all, but more like a moving palace.

The interior of the palace is made of a black stone, unlit by any lamps, and the purple halo reflected on the stone alone is enough to see, but at the same time it makes everything here seem extremely strange.

Qin Huan wore a wide golden dragon robe and walked to the center of the palace, where there was a stone platform, on which a woman with a cold face was sitting cross-legged, and the purple halo that permeated the palace seemed to be pulled by her, constantly converging towards her body.

As if sensing something, the girl opened her eyes and looked at the man, her eyes calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

Qin Huan stopped and said, "We're almost in Longjiang City. ”

The girl nodded, but did not respond.

But Qin Huan's eyes were always locked on the girl's face, as if he was afraid of missing something.

"In the Heavenly Tribulation a year ago, was Chu Qingxiao really dead?" Qin Huan asked again.

As soon as these words came out, there was obviously a trace of wave in the girl's eyes looking at him, but they died down in an instant.

"In such a catastrophe, it is difficult for the ancestral gods and me to survive, let alone him?" The girl said.

"Really? But recently, his remnants have been closely active, Zheng Lingyin has disappeared, and Fu Zhengliang, whom I sent to arrest them, has also been killed......" Qin Huan squinted his eyes and said meaningfully.

The girl heard the words but ignored them, as if she didn't hear the meaning of the other party's words.

Qin Huan finally frowned, it was difficult for him to maintain his usual coldness, and his voice suddenly became a little louder: "Zhao Nianshuang!" You and I both know he's not dead! I've been hiding this from the ancestral gods for you! What the hell are you planning, don't you think you should tell me? ”

"We're in the same boat!"

"And that guy is just a pawn!"

Qin Huan's roar still did not get a response, Zhao Nianshuang glanced at him lightly, then stood up, walked forward step by step with bare feet, came to the edge of the palace, looked at Longjiang City, which was already close at hand, through the window, and looked at the sky that was gradually darkening.

Then, she just said, "It's getting dark." ”
