[434] Zhu Hai was the vanguard
The light of the fire pierced the night, reflecting a patch of crimson between heaven and earth, making the cold wasteland near the camp gradually become hot after the sun set.
Ghosts and swords flickered between the flames and smoke, and the guards of the Praetorian Army fought with the souls of hundreds of people who had rushed out of the darkness behind the fire.
For a while, the miserable wind in the camp suddenly rose, the sound of fighting and scolding in the blood mist splashed one after another, and the screams of pain under the heat wave came and went.
Among these souls, there are many ghosts dressed in brocade clothes with a few patches, and each of them uses a long sword, and at a glance, it is clear that they are those powerful children who have been suppressed by Xiao Shizhu.
After losing the powerful family power and family members, he can't do business, and he doesn't know anything about farming, so he can only idle in the Nine Shadows Country all day long.
Even if the Yin Division, the official government of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, gave them land and farm tools, most of them were used by them to exchange for wine and drink.
Now that he is making trouble again, Xiao Shizhu has decided not to spare the powerful children who participated in the assassination tonight.
Xiao Shizhu, who was getting farther and farther away from the gods, gradually sniffed out the pungent smell of fierce fire oil from the hot wind where the flames rose, and suddenly knew that a ghost was attacking the camp with fierce fire oil.
Between the lightning and flint, Xiao Shizhu's mind flashed the four big words of sound and east.
The flames were enormous, but they were also revealing the whereabouts of the Assassins. Souls with an IQ higher than fifty know that if a raid is a surprise attack, and they actually use fierce fire oil to set fire to the camp, then there is only one possibility that the assassins are attacking the west.
Xiao Shizhu's heart tightened when he thought of this, and he hurriedly shouted to the cavalry beside him: "You continue to move forward." The beast turned around and turned in the direction it came from.
But when he turned around, he saw explosions around the gods, and in the violent explosion, a blazing heat wave rushed out between the flames, and after flying into the air like a sandstorm, it swooped towards Xiao Shizhu's side.
Before the soldiers who were guarding the shrine could react, their bodies burst open in the explosion, and before they could scream in pain, the flames that rose up immediately engulfed them.
Under the churning heat wave, the surrounding scene that fell into Xiao Shizhu's eyes was instantly distorted, and he hurriedly raised his hands and crossed them in front of his face to protect his head.
When the hot wind was blowing, Mu Qingming's body suddenly swelled with blue light, instantly enveloping himself and the shadow under his crotch, and wrapped it tightly.
Once again, the Xuan Force burst out with brilliant brilliance on the land of the underworld.
The heat swept through the flames, but it could not penetrate the dazzling green light. Xiao Shizhu immediately rode the beast forward again, heading towards the god that had been surrounded by flames.
At the same time, more than a dozen Gonggong clans also rushed over, and after pinching their fingers, the water droplets seeped out from the ground around the shrine, floating into the air like elves, converging into dozens of water balls the size of millstones, and slamming towards the flames that were surging higher and higher on the shrine.
As the balloon hit the ground, the flames died down and milky white steam rose up.
"It's okay, it's going to be okay. Xiao Shizhu, who was getting closer and closer, secretly comforted himself, after all, after the god was made, Lai Yueqi asked the national teacher Ying Ying to bless a lot of ancient protection talismans on it, so that it spread all over the body of the god. It is the same as the talisman seal in the Yuque Palace, which can resist fire and violence.
Even if it is shelled, the shrine may not be torn apart.
But the open window still made Xiao Shizhu very angry.
The flames from the moment of the explosion must have rushed down the window and into the gods, and the ghost mother was still by the window when he left.
"Flying Army, there are assassins in the sky!" Xiao Shizhu, who was in front of the gods, roared angrily, jumped up and jumped up with the head of the beast that crossed the shadow on his toes, and leaped towards the flame vapor without hesitation.
When the roar echoed in the heavens and the earth, he had already submerged in the flames and steam under the stunned gaze of the co-workers and ghosts who were busy fighting the fire around him, and after a while, Xiao Shizhu flashed into the shrine from the window behind the flames, and as soon as the servant landed, he immediately shouted loudly: "Yu'er!"
Fortunately, although the flames rushed into the shrine along the open window, they were all fleeting, and only the open window and the surrounding area of the window were scorched black, and there was no fire in the shrine.
However, the pungent smoke that kept pouring in from the window quickly spread in the shrine, and in less than a moment, it was already filled with every corner of the shrine. Xiao Shizhu's sharp gaze quickly swept around, and he saw that the previous Su Tianju disciples were already in the middle of the room, prostrate on the ground like stacked arhats, protecting the ghost mother under him.
The top disciple's robe had a scorched black hole on the edge of the robe that had been burned by the flames, and through the hole, you could clearly see how much carbonization and blackening her skin was, and you could also see a few large blisters bulging on her skin.
Presumably when the explosion started, they used their bodies as a meat shield to protect the ghost mother to the death. And the flames that were caused by the explosion poured into the shrine along the open window, immediately burning the top disciple of Su Tianju.
Xiao Shizhu took Xuanli and stepped forward quickly, helped up this Su Tianju disciple who was almost fainting because of the burns, and after shouting the rest, he was relieved to see the intact ghost mother.
"Take her to heal quickly!" Xiao Shizhu handed over the injured Su Tianju disciple to a few other disciples before he went to help the ghost mother up.
When Xiao Shizhu, who was angry, helped the ghost mother up, he saw that the other party's face was full of gloom; the assassination was not a big deal in the eyes of the ghost mother, but she actually dared to throw * in the gods, which obviously wanted Xiao Shizhu to break her body into ten thousand pieces, which made her suddenly angry.
The anger rising in her chest made the ghost mother frown, and after a flash of blue light in her sleeve, the soul-thirsty umbrella slowly slid out.
She will not forgive the ghosts who dare to hurt Xiao Shizhu.
At this time, the flames rising around the gods have been completely extinguished by the Gonggong clan. But in the darkness around the camp, there was also a steady stream of people who dared to die.
In the sky, eagles chirped one after another, and the ghost roar mixed with demons resounded through the night sky.
"Husband. The angry ghost mother strode to the window and stood still, looking at the forbidden army fighting the assassins in the distant firelight, and slowly raised her hand to hold the soul-thirsty umbrella across her chest.
Dao Dao ghost qi erupted from her white palm, and after slowly injecting into the umbrella along the handle, the umbrella body of the soul-thirsty umbrella burst out with a blue light that was even more dazzling and dazzling than the light of the night moon.
"Husband, let's go and kill on a good spree. The ghost mother's narrowed eyes were instantly filled with fierce murderous aura, and she gritted her teeth and said resentfully.
"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu stepped forward with a nod, stood side by side with her, and then clenched the Moon Destroying Sword in his hand, and his body surged again.
In an instant, the two ghosts performed the ghost magic skill at the same time, and one disappeared into the gods......
On the sea of Huangquan, south of Dongyizhou.
The army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom completely occupied the southernmost mountain bay and Haigu Mountain of the Mao Republic of China.
This is a battle without suspense, not to mention that the two generals of the unified army, Gonggong and Lin Cong, are both experienced ghosts, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom is far superior to the Mao Republic of China in terms of strength and combat effectiveness. The weak Mao Republic is not an opponent of the other side at all.
In addition, there is also a Zhu Hai as an internal response, and the garrison of the Mao Republic here has not been able to open the formation and set up defensive ordnance, and even the warships have not been able to completely leave the port, and they have been defeated by the Jiuyou National Army.
As for the defense facilities that the Maomin ghost soldiers were set up on Haigu Mountain before, on the top of those cliffs, condescendingly overlooking the bay, they couldn't withstand the joint air raid of the Nine Shadows Flying Army and the Air Cavalry, and they were completely dismantled by the Nine Shadows Army in three or two clicks.
The flower flags on the other side of the plain white flag are planted all over the mountain bay.
And the Nine Shadows Army did not attack after occupying this place. While repairing the original fortifications and consolidating the defenses of this place, they also released the human souls who were enslaved by the hairy ghosts here, and won the hearts of the ghosts and people here.
At the same time, there are constantly materials and ghost people, which are continuously transported from Yunmeng Continent and Xuanyan Continent. In less than ten days, the Shanwan seaport of the Mao Republic of China became the military base of the Jiuyou Kingdom in Dongyizhou.
During this period, King Mao Min actually had the backbone to not send a minister for peace talks, and came to Shanwan to negotiate with the Nine Shadows. Instead, three or five large armies were sent to storm the bay several times.
However, the artillery and firearms of the Jiuyou National Army are too powerful, although the army sent by the Mao Republic is actually two or three hundred thousand, but they are still using cold weapons; the final result is that every attack of the Mao Republic is beaten by the Jiuyou National Army.
The long-haired ghost soldiers who had been defeated again and again had no choice but to retreat in disgrace, and for the time being, they didn't dare to fight the idea of Shanwan, which was occupied by the Nine Shadows Army.
Fifteen days later, with the help of the souls of those enslaved by the hairy ghosts that they had released, the Nine Shadows Army made the rebuilt mountain bay lined up with turrets on all the main roads, and the newly built forts and docks were lined up on the banks of the rivers behind the mouths of the Zhushan Torrent and Tanshui rivers.
With the fortifications on the port, it forms a defensive line that is dozens of miles long from east to west, and it is impregnable. Nearly 300,000 troops were stationed in the bay with the help of newly built fortifications. So that the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who were ordered to migrate here can live and work in peace and contentment in the bay, and it also makes the army of the Republic of Mao look away from recovering the mountain bay.
At night, the sea becomes calm in the bay. The faint blue light of the night moon slowly sprinkled down and spread over the entire bay, making the blood-yellow and fishy sea water of the Yellow Spring Sea no longer look so ugly.
The fleet, moored in the bay, was busy in the moonlight. The sailors on the ship hoisted the sails, the supplies they carried and prepared for the voyage were very busy.
"I have left you a hundred Gonggong clans who are good at naval warfare and navigation, and you can let them pick local souls to train in water warfare. Walking side by side with Lin Cong, he said slowly as he walked towards his flagship: "And the shipbuilders will also come with it, and then use those towering giant trees on Haigu Mountain to build a fleet to defend this place." ”。
"The Metropolitan Governor has a heart. After Lin Cong heard this, he thanked him with a slight smile on his face.
"You're welcome, you and I both work for the lord, and work together to make the Nine Shadows Kingdom stronger and stronger, that's all as it should be. The co-worker also smiled and said, and then saw that they had come to his flagship, the co-worker immediately stopped, and Lin Cong also stopped.
The two ghosts stood opposite each other, staring at each other but not knowing what to say for a while, so they had to continue to laugh.
It wasn't until a moment later that a little embarrassment appeared on Gonggong's face, and after turning his head slightly, he gently scratched his cheek with his right index finger, and asked slowly in a somewhat slurring tone: "May I ask Lord Lin, if you send troops to attack the hinterland of the Mao Republic after a long time, what ghost will you use as the vanguard?"
"Why is the Grand Governor of the Gonggong so curious about this?" the sea breeze came in his face, and Lin Cong asked after being slightly stunned.
"Because I haven't had a long idea when it comes to using ghosts to select generals. The embarrassment was even heavier, and after a moment of silence, he slowly explained the reason.
It turned out that he wanted to learn how to choose a general. Lin Cong, who suddenly came to his senses, dragged a long "oh" and smiled lightly: "Of course Zhu Hai is the pioneer." ”。
