Chapter 486: Rebellion from the North
In the north of the Sun and Moon Empire, a vast hill with uneven terrain.
A uniformly dressed team was marching in an orderly manner, all of them were fully armed with complete sets of soul guides, and the number was about more than 100, obviously a team of soul guides.
Only the leader of the man and the woman were dressed differently from the others, and their strength was particularly outstanding, and they were obviously the leaders of this soul master team.
The young man was handsome but had a frosty face, a flowing white robe, and was not equipped with any soul guide weapons, only a pitch-black long sword in his arms, which seemed out of place with the painting style of others.
The young woman's expression is much richer, and she is equipped with a complete range of soul guides, like an all-rounder.
The two of them are Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan, who obeyed Jing Hongchen's arrangement to enter the army, accumulate military merits and promote quickly, and strengthen Mingdetang's control over the army.
Now, the group of soul masters to which they belong has come to the north to quell the rebellion initiated by the Brilliant Grand Duke.
This soul master team is the vanguard force, and the original mission was mainly to investigate the situation, but at the moment, there is not much caution on everyone's faces, on the contrary, their morale is high, and everyone is extremely excited.
They encountered several vanguard armies of the glorious Grand Duke in succession, but without experiencing a large-scale exchange of fire and without returning to call for reinforcements, they beheaded the commander of the enemy army and captured the rest. And these are naturally the masterpieces of Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan.
All the soul masters looked at Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan, and their eyes couldn't help but show a hint of respect.
At the beginning, the team still had a lot of complaints about these two airborne captains, but after seeing their strong strength, they all felt admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
A seventh-level soul master and a sixth-level soul master, in the face of thousands of troops, have no fear, and dare to rush into the enemy encirclement alone, carry out decapitation operations on the enemy generals, and then use thunder to deter the rest of the enemy army, so that the rebel army is in turmoil, so that the Sun and Moon army can successfully capture the other party.
Although the strength of the enemy army is generally not strong, this calmness of the battlefield,
Therefore, their vanguard has also achieved great success.
Ji Jiechen didn't have the slightest interest in the so-called military exploits, he just held the long sword and walked silently at the front of the team. It was not him who showed everyone the way, but Jing Ziyan on the side, who was holding a soul guide with a pointer, as if she was measuring the direction.
Jing Ziyan estimated: "Idiot, judging from the surrounding environment, we are already close to the territory of the Brilliant Grand Duke. ”
Ji Juechen didn't seem to hear it, and he shouldn't even say a word.
"I'm talking to you." Jing Ziyan shouted dissatisfiedly, "Maybe behind that mountain is the main force of the Brilliant Grand Duke." ”
Ji Juechen said with a pity: "Defeat is." ”
"There's really no sense of crisis." Jing Ziyan pursed her lips, and suddenly her complexion changed slightly, changing her previous indecent appearance, and she spoke to the back with a serious face.
"Everyone is on alert, and the enemy is attacking."
As soon as the words fell, on the originally empty hillside in the distance, there were suddenly rows of human heads. The human head gradually revealed its full appearance, and it was a dense army.
The slopes of the hill were occupied by troops, and the number of enemies was probably in the tens of thousands.
"It is the main force of the glorious Grand Duke!"
Although everyone in the soul master team was holding a weapon, they were extremely nervous in their hearts. The number of enemy troops in front of them was greater than the vanguard army they had encountered combined, and it was clearly not something they could deal with.
"Captain, retreat quickly and go back and call for reinforcements." A soul master urged Jing Ziyan.
However, it was not yet for Jing Ziyan to answer. Ji Jiechen took the lead in taking a step forward with the long sword in hand, and there was not the slightest fear or timidity on his cold face.
"Where is the enemy?"
Condensed soul power covered the entire valley and spread far into the ears of all the soldiers of the enemy army.
A bright yellow flag was erected in the sea of people on the hillside, and then a tall horse carrying a man slowly stepped out.
The man on horseback also shouted in a condensed voice: "This general is the eldest son of the Brilliant Grand Duke, the first heir to the title, and the general of the Principality, Zhao Yang." ”
"My father has no intention of rebelling, he just wants to establish his own principality, why does His Majesty want to make such a big move?"
His voice was very loud, and judging from his momentum, his cultivation was at least above the Soul Saint.
More than 100 people in the soul master team were already panicking, the other party not only had soul saint powerhouses, but also tens of thousands of troops, and they would never be an opponent in this vanguard force.
Someone looked to the side, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly. It turned out that there were two more directions that were also densely packed with enemy troops, and they had already entered the encirclement at some point.
"Captain, if we don't run away, we will have no way to escape." Several soul masters continued to persuade.
However, Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan were still unmoved.
Ji Jiechen looked directly at Zhao Yang in front of the enemy formation, and said word by word: "Fight, or, surrender." ”
The long sword pointed directly at the enemy, and the sharp sword intent went straight uphill.
Zhao Yang didn't expect Ji Juechen, who was surrounded by him, to dare to do this, his face changed slightly, and he raised his right hand.
"The soul guide of the glorious Grand Duke, prepare."
Behind him, a squad that was obviously better equipped than ordinary soldiers was ready, and as long as Zhao Yang gave an order, it could launch an attack at any time.
The team of about 100 soul masters are all fourth-level soul masters, and they are already elite troops under the Brilliant Grand Duke.
A full hundred pieces of fourth-level soul guide ray barrels began to accumulate energy, ready to blast towards Ji Jiechen and the others in the encirclement.
The soul masters behind Ji Jiechen were also ready to fight, although they had also experienced a lot of battles big and small, but the black army in front of them made everyone face huge psychological pressure.
Only Ji Jiechen was still not surprised, he just glanced at the hundred fourth-level soul masters, and then moved his sharp gaze back to the general Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang's face turned cold, his raised arm quickly fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Put." ”
Just a moment before the hundred fourth-level soul masters attacked, Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan had already rushed out first, speeding through the low altitude above the hillside, leaving a white robe in the air like a tail.
Ji Jiechen didn't like to use other soul guides, and he couldn't use them well, and the high speed he broke out at this moment relied on the Jing Ziyan Flying Soul Guide and the Propulsion Soul Guide.
Zhao Yang, who was on the hillside, smiled contemptuously: "I don't know if I live or die." ”
The speed of Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan is indeed very fast, but no matter how fast they are, as long as they fly in the air, they will be the live targets of the soul master group. Under the dense firepower network composed of a hundred fourth-level soul guide rays, even if there was an invincible shield, it wouldn't last long.
Boom –
A hundred fourth-level soul guide rays roared one after another, and messy white light poured out from high down, like a firepower waterfall formed by a white meteor swarm, and there was not an inch where they could safely settle down.
However, in the face of this level of firepower, Ji Juechen's mood did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes were still staring directly at Zhao Yang through the dense white light.
Now, in fact, he doesn't use his eyes to observe the surrounding scene at all, but from a higher and broader perspective.
The firepower network composed of a hundred rays seems to be dense, but there are still countless gaps in the space ahead, as long as you make a response in advance, the people flying in it can play like a fish in the water.
Jing Ziyan changed direction in the air smartly, dodging the incoming rays, but his speed did not decrease too much. Thousands of meters of distance passed quickly, and the flag appeared in front of the two of them.
The first round of shooting was over, the white light disappeared, and Zhao Yang was about to look proudly at the two who had turned into flying ashes, but he was suddenly stunned.
I saw that directly above him, it was Ji Jiechen in a white robe, and the pitch-black extraterrestrial meteoric iron sword was already full of fierce sword intent.
A sense of crisis rose from the bottom of Zhao Yang's heart, Zhao Yang drank suddenly, the seven soul rings behind him shone brightly, his body skyrocketed, and his strong muscles were like a giant bear.
As a Soul Saint, his perception was naturally keen, and the terrifying sword intent on Ji Jiechen's body made him truly feel the threat of death, and the thousands of troops around him could not provide the slightest sense of security.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous it was to launch a rebellion on the border of the Sun and Moon Empire, those masters from Mingdu didn't care how many troops they had, how many soul masters they had, and among thousands of troops, wanting to take their lives was like taking their own lives.
But since some roads have been chosen, there is no turning back, even if he surrenders, can he, one of the masterminds, escape?
With a loud roar, the seventh soul ring behind Zhao Yang flickered, and his body expanded again, as if turning into a five-meter-tall giant bear, swinging out a huge bear claw and about to fan Ji Jiechen in the air.
His soul power is condensed, he is an orthodox soul master who does not take drugs indiscriminately, and what he is using at this moment is the true body of the martial soul. His martial soul is called Storm Golden Bear, and it is a beast martial soul with excellent strength and defense.
But he is not the only seven-ring soul master, and so is Ji Juechen.
The seven soul rings of two yellow, two purple and three black floated together behind Ji Jiechen, and the soul power of the whole body had already been integrated into the long sword in his hand on the way to fly, just to send out a thunderous blow at this moment.
The cold sword intent condensed in one place, and wiped out the beast-like furious aura.
Zhao Yang's huge bear body froze at this moment, and his eyes that looked up at Ji Jiechen were full of disbelief. His eyes rolled slightly, and he looked down with difficulty, and the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Sword had pierced through his chest at some point, gushing blood.
"Ahh
Ji Juechen was still hanging in the air, his white robe dancing lightly in the wind, and his eyes were indifferent, as if what he had done was not worth mentioning.
Zhao Yang's bear corpse stood in place like this, the blood stained the original bright yellow flag, no one dared to speak on the huge hillside, and everyone looked at it dumbfounded, unable to believe that the battle ended so quickly.
Their Lord will be in high spirits, but now he will be reduced to a corpse.
The Lord is dead, the army is leaderless, and after a short silence, chaos and uproar are coming. Fear is constantly spreading among the army, and there is a tendency for birds and beasts to scatter.
These soldiers knew what would happen to the rebels, and everyone looked in horror at the white clothes in the air, this strong man slashed their main general with a single blow, and it was just as easy to kill them, and no one wanted to stay where they were.
At this moment, a loud voice resounded throughout the hillside.
"The Lord is dead, everyone lays down their arms, and our army will treat prisoners of war preferentially."
It was Jing Ziyan who spoke, and she held a amplified soul guide, sending the military order into the ears of every soldier belonging to the Brilliant Grand Duke.
"The glorious Grand Duke hits the stone with an egg, and he does not measure his own strength, His Majesty has a will, and those who descend are not to blame, and they will fall lightly. Otherwise, as soon as the main force of our Sun and Moon army arrives, those who resist will bear the consequences. ”
The army, which was supposed to be in chaos, restored order a little, but everyone didn't seem to believe it.
Finally, one of the army's soul masters, who looked like a leader, asked aloud, "How can we trust you?" ”
They could not afford the charge of rebellion, and they did not dare to bear the consequences.
"The golden sun and silver moon are above, this is all His Majesty's holy decree, and there is no joke."
The sound of purple smoke resounded through the hillside again.
The leader hesitated for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, our army is willing to surrender......"
The Golden Yang and Silver Moon Totem has always been the highest sworn specification of the Sun and Moon royal family, and no royal family will joke about this.
Ji Juechen, who took the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops, didn't say anything, just took back his sword, gently wiped the blood stains on the sword, and dressed in white like a god of war in the dark army.
On a hillside a few kilometers away, Huo Yuhao looked at the scene of the battlefield here, and sighed leisurely: "Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes. ”
He also held a pamphlet in his hand, on which he copied the secret of the essence that Poison Immortal had temporarily lent him for three days.
He didn't stay long in the Heavenly Soul before returning to the Sun and Moon Empire, and just now Ji Jiechen and Jing Ziyan were able to successfully break through the firepower network, which was precisely with the assistance of his spiritual detection and sharing.
The Ice Emperor frowned and asked, "This Emperor really can't understand it. ”
"Can't understand what?"
"That glorious grand duke has no strong man in his hands at all, why does he have the courage to start a rebellion?"
Huo Yuhao snorted lightly: "Not only do you not understand, even I can't understand it." Did he think that Ming was fighting for the throne, and no one would be able to control him? ”
"Even if you don't have me, just change to another clan, it's easy to clean him up, it's nothing more than the difference between thinking about it and not."
The Ice Emperor asked again: "Then why do these little soldiers dare to rebel with that Grand Duke, aren't they afraid of Mingdu's army?" ”
Huo Yuhao pondered for a while, and said: "This question is more complicated, I guess the possible reason is mainly that they were born in the north since they were children, and they grew up in the north, and the strongest person they have seen is nothing more than the glorious Grand Duke who rules them, and they have never seen anyone from Mingdu, and they can't disobey the Grand Duke's orders." ”
He frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Under this kind of feudal system, he, the Grand Duke, is no different from the so-called Duchy, and he is all governed. Since he has to make inches, then I'll solve it. Later, the northern cities were again under the management of the Ming capital, and they were no longer divided into feuds to anyone. ”
Northern......
The Snow Emperor looked north from afar, and suddenly muttered, "If you go north from here in the Sun and Moon Empire, you should also be able to return to the extreme north." ”
Huo Yuhao added: "Yes, it should be bordering the ice sea in the west of the Far North. ”
"Do you want to take this opportunity to go back to the Far North?" Xue Di asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded after thinking about it: "There shouldn't be any problems in the follow-up of the Sun and Moon North, anyway, I have already reminded the discipline of the army, since this is the case, there is just time to go to the Far North." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look to the west, frowning slightly.
"The Demon Forest should be not far from that direction, I'll go to the Demon Forest once to see how the Holy Spirit Sect's headquarters are going, and then I'll go to the extreme north."
