Section 6 Demons

On the winding Far Eastern Highway in the Minsk province, a large army with no end in sight is advancing westward. This is the Demon Ludi Legion that has just won a big victory in the Battle of Moon Bay. As far as the eye can see, a banner flutters like the sea, the sword light is like snow, the spear is like a cloud, and the new conqueror of the Far East is like a rainbow, and the army is at its peak.

On the hillside near the road, Duke Ludi was watching his own high-spirited army. For a moment, a feeling of boundless power filled his mind: incomparably powerful in my hands, with this army, I will destroy the Valen fortress, which is said to be forever, I will trample the mighty empire under my feet, I will conquer the entire continent, build the corpses of mankind into mountains, and build my unearthly great deeds on it!

As if to gain insight into his thoughts, General Yulin Yun Qianxue smiled lightly: "What a mighty army! His Excellency the Duke is really amazing!"

Although it was a word of praise, Yun Qianxue said it so like to smile and not laugh, with an incomprehensible smile on her face - Lu Di was very unhappy, and he couldn't figure out whether the weird little white face was praising or sarcastic.

Lu Di was born in a low-level demon clan, and in the face of Yun Qianxue, a very well-educated child of the royal family, he had a deep sense of inferiority; because of this, he was extraordinarily arrogant and rude, always showing his thick muscles and scars in front of people, and posing: Lao Tzu is a big boss, and he looks down on you little white faces who eat soft rice! Try to overwhelm the kind of elegant demeanor that he envies but cannot imitate with his rudeness.

Lu Di snorted to the sky with his nostrils, as if he didn't hear Yun Qianxue's words, and he didn't pay attention.

As an envoy, Yun Qianxue looks like a gentleman, and the scholar's elegant atmosphere has a bit of military heroism. He was born in the Yun family, and the Yun family has produced many famous generals in the past dynasties, and is considered to be the "famous family among the famous families" in the Demon God Kingdom. And Yun Qianxue's appearance is also not dishonoring the family, and has always been considered to be the best among the children of this generation of royal families, and his temperament and demeanor are even appreciated by the contemporary Demon God Emperor, and he personally married his beloved daughter Cardin. If it weren't for the unfortunate murder of Her Royal Highness Princess Cardin in the battle with the Zichuan Army last year, Yun Qianxue would be known as the "Prince of the Horses". Despite this, His Majesty the Divine Emperor was still undiminished in favor of Yun Qianxue, and named him the general of Yulin who commanded the guards.

Seeing Lu Di's rudeness, Yun Qianxue laughed instead of being angry. Before coming, the second prince Kalan had said to him: "Emperor Lu is known for three characteristics: rudeness, brutality in war, and..."

"He's really good-looking—he's ugly!"

Now from the side, Lu Di has a furry face like a monkey, ears like a cow, a nose like a dog, eyes like a goldfish, horns like a goat, a neck like a horse, and a body as heavy as a bear - "plus a brain as smart as a pig", Yun Qianxue quickly turned her face away, not letting Lu Di find a happy smile on his face.

※※※

After sorting out her expression, Yun Qianxue said solemnly: "Your Excellency Duke, you have won the first battle in Moon Bay this time, and your Majesty the God Emperor is very happy!"

Since the Supreme God Emperor His Majesty was mentioned, even Emperor Lu's arrogance and rudeness could not pretend not to have heard it, thinking of the identity of the person in front of him, he was not only a close minister General Yulin who was deeply trusted by the God Emperor, but also the henchman of the "mad dog", and he could not be offended. Lu Di was reluctant to be modest: "It's all thanks to His Majesty Xià Hongfu......"

"But since you annihilated Zichuan's entire army, but only let go of the enemy chieftain's strength, so that our army could not be completely defeated, His Majesty the Divine Emperor was very dissatisfied with this, and said: 'Lu Di is known as capable, but I can't imagine that he is so negligent and incompetent!'"

Enough, that's it! Yun Qianxue watched with satisfaction as Lu Di's face quickly turned red like a monkey's ass, and even the thick hair on his face couldn't hide his anger! Actually, I made it all up to tease you, but in fact, the God Emperor just gave a faint noncommittal "oh" -- there was no "very joy" at all, and there was nothing "very dissatisfied". But I forgive you, this bear wouldn't dare to really confront the God Emperor, right?

Lu Di roared angrily: "Your Excellency Yu Lin, I have already said it ten thousand times! Fang Jin is indeed killing us, I can take out his military uniform and Venus Commander epaulettes to show you!"

"I've seen it, a headless corpse. Yun Qianxue said lightly.

"That's..."

"But how can we use this to prove to His Majesty the Divine Emperor that this is Fang Jin?"

"There are epaulettes and military uniforms that do..."

It is also possible that Fang Jin cunningly took off his uniform and let his subordinates wear it, and he took the opportunity to run away. Humans are cowardly and vile, don't you always say that?"

"But that's really..."

"I know and I believe. But how can you convince His Majesty the Divine Emperor to believe it?"

No matter how violent Lu Di was, Yun Qianxue always smiled faintly and gently twisted the wildflowers in his hand to play. This made Lu Di even more furious: At that time, the heads of the people who were cut off were 100,000 yuan, piled up like a mountain, how could it be possible to find a person among them who had never seen or knew him at all! If the little white face with a hateful smile in front of him was not the envoy of the God Emperor but his own subordinates, he would have cut off his head with a knife earlier!

Seeing that he had almost teased him, Yun Qianxue said leisurely: "Actually, it's not impossible..."

"Oh?" Lu Di stopped jumping and waited for Yun Qianxue to say the next sentence. But Yun Qianxue suddenly looked at the sky, the ground, the small trees on the side of the road, and the wild flowers on the grass, but she didn't speak, and her face was clearly written with four big words: "Come and beg me!"

Lu Di reluctantly said, "Your Excellency Yulin, why don't you speak?"

"Oh!" Yun Qianxue seemed to have just woken up and there were still people around her, looking at the blue sky and saying leisurely: "How good the weather is!" Lu Di echoed with a dry smile: "Hey, hey, yes, yes." ”

"The scenery is really nice!"

"Hey, hey, hey, yes, yes. ”

Yun Qianxue said to herself: "Actually, this beautiful place in the Far East should have belonged to our Protoss a long time ago, and the hateful Zichuan dog thief dared to occupy it for so long! And he has been resisting the Heavenly Army of my Protoss, which is really an unforgivable sin! Fortunately, my Emperor Xià Shenwu is a heroic, and with his immortal heroic appearance, he will sweep the world! The little thief of Zichuan Jumping Olive, will all die without a place to be buried! The glory of our Protoss will always shine on the entire continent and will be glorious for eternity! It is not far from this day, and all the subjects of our clan are all overjoyed, thanking God for giving me great talents and celebrating the long live of our emperor......"

Yun Qianxue suddenly began to talk around, praising the God Emperor for a while, and scolding the Zichuan dog thief, saying it was long, smelly and cumbersome, and it took half an hour, Lu Di didn't dare to interrupt while laughing, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet. In the end, it was easy to catch Yun Qianxue's breath, and he hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask what General Yulin said just now..."

"What did I just say?" Yun Qianxue didn't understand at all: "Are you saying that my Protoss will unify the continent?"

"Ah, no, a little ahead, a little ahead. ”

"Oh! That means the Zichuan thief is despicable and shameless, and the end is near, isn't it?"

"A little bit earlier, a little bit earlier. ”

"That must be a tribute to my emperor's longevity—does the Duke have an opinion on this?"

Lu Di was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Where, where, I am His Majesty's most loyal subordinate..."

"Well, His Majesty the Divine Emperor must be glad to learn that Your Excellency the Duke is so loyal, and the mission of the envoy has been completed, so I will take my leave. Congratulations to His Excellency the Duke on his victory and new contributions!" Yun Qianxue turned around and left.

Lu Di had no choice but to stay: "Your Excellency Yulin, please stay." What I said just now seems to have room for redemption in Fang Jin's matter, I don't know ......"

Lu Di deliberately paused, wanting to wait for Yun Qianxue's interface, who knew that he seemed to suddenly have idiocy, and he just didn't say anything when he was stupid. Lu Di had no choice but to say it himself: "I hope that the envoy will give me some advice, and I am grateful to Lu Di." ”

"Oh! That's it, Duke, you said it earlier, if you didn't say it, I almost forgot!" Yun Qianxue suddenly realized, and felt a burst of pride in her heart: I finally taught you to beg me!" "Your Excellency Duke, you think, the problem now is that it is difficult to identify Fang Jin's head, right?"

"Exactly. ”

"Then don't recognize it at all! You just take a head, hand it in with the epaulettes, ranks, uniforms, or something, and say that this is Fang Jin's head and clothes!"

"But, but, if it is exposed, this is a great crime of deception!"

"Hehe, duke, you are confused! Do you think, in the palace, who has really seen that Fang Jin? The only person who can identify Fang Jin's face is the Marquis of Pingjing. As long as Pingjinghou said, 'Yes, this is Fang Jin himself!' Then who is more qualified to come out and refute it?"

"The dog?" at the mention of this name, Lu Di's words were full of contempt: "But how could he help me lie?"

"Hehe, Duke, you are confused again! Didn't you say that Fang Jin is indeed dead. How can this be called lying? Is it wrong to be a courtier and try to please His Majesty and make His Majesty feel at ease?"

"What the envoy said is extremely true, but I have no relationship with the Marquis of Pingjing, how can he help me..."

"Yes, the Duke is very true. But Pingjinghou has always had great respect for His Royal Highness, as long as His Royal Highness comes forward to say a word, Pingjinghou will definitely agree!"

The second highness is Karan, the second son of the Demon God Emperor. Because he was addicted to alcohol all day long, crazy, and acting absurdly, the demons called him "Crazy Young" to his face, and called him "Mad Dog Lan" behind his back. For some reason, Yun Qianxue, a young famous general with royal blood who has always been favored in the future, politely declined the invitation of the demon prince, Caton, but had a close relationship with Kalan, who was called the "mad dog".

Hearing Karan's name, Lu Di blurted out: "Mad Dog Lan!"

Yun Qianxue's face was cold, and his gaze suddenly became cold. Touching the other party's cold gaze, Lu Di felt a chill for no reason, and the one on his body involuntarily shivered!

Yun Qianxue quickly suppressed her murderous aura: Emperor Lu, you dare to insult Your Highness like this in front of me! A year ago, just by virtue of these words, I wanted you to splash your blood in five steps! Emperor Lu, although you are arrogant and domineering, if you really fight, I will definitely take your head within 20 moves! However, Your Highness has ordered, now is not the time to kill you...

Yun Qianxue showed a smile and said, "What His Excellency Duke said is exact. Although His Excellency the Duke and His Royal Highness did not have a deep relationship, His Royal Highness had long admired His Excellency's martial prowess and hoped very much to make friends with such a heroic person as His Excellency the Duke! He was willing to express his friendship first and let the Marquis of Pingjing testify, which was just a gesture. ”

Lu Di was still frightened in his heart: What was the sudden chill just now? The fierce murderous aura? How could it be, I, Lu Di, have experienced a hundred battles and killed countless people, how could I be intimidated by this weak little white face! Is it an illusion? Yes, it must be. Well, it's been cold lately, so I need to wear some clothes.

※※※

For Yun Qianxue's mention, he is still thinking about it. Although Emperor Lu is reckless, he also knows that it is a big crime to deceive the king and conceal it, especially if the contemporary god emperor is smart and wise, in case he is seen to have a flaw......

Yun Qianxue didn't force him, Lang Lang smiled: "I didn't expect that the brave Duke Lu Di was actually a square gentleman, and I admired him very much! Since the general is not interested in this great achievement, it is okay when I didn't say it." I went to talk to General Ling Buxu of the South Road, and I heard that he also killed a lot of Zichuan troops, so I must be very interested."

The results are immediate. Thinking that he had worked hard to fight a big battle, but as a result, the first merit of killing the enemy general had to be given to Ling Buxu, the hateful dead dumb man who got it silently... Lu Di's lungs were about to explode! He shouted: "How can this be! Your Excellency Yu Lin, just do as you say! As for His Royal Highness's side, I would like to ask you to say more kind words!"

"Different fish should use different baits, for that bear, hehe, it is best to wave a piece of honey in front of him!" "Hehe, Your Highness, you are really clever! Lu Di, as long as you swallow this piece of honey, you bear will dance with His Highness's gestures for the rest of your life!"

"Hehe, it's easy to say, the lord may not know yet, our Royal Highness has always respected the heroes the most! Everyone is their own people, this little favor, I dare to charter tickets now, Your Highness has to help!"

"Hey, hey, hey. Lu Di laughed dryly, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

Yun Qianxue didn't give him time to think, and urged: "Since this is the case, the lord should immediately draft the recital, and hand over the heads and objects to be handed over to His Majesty, so that no one will take the lead in grabbing the merit, then the night will be long and dreamy!"

Lu Di didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly drafted the chapter, swearing that in the battle of Moon Bay, he personally killed the enemy chieftain, which made the Zichuan army frightened, and the whole army collapsed immediately.

Yun Qianxue hurriedly browsed the next chapter, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: This autographed chapter, as long as it is turned out, it can be proved at any time that Emperor Lu is guilty of bullying the king!--Of course, if he is willing to listen to His Highness's words obediently, then this hole card does not need to be played in such a hurry.

He was also a little sad: he didn't have any fun in bullying this bear with no brains, and he didn't fall to the same level as the animal trainer. In fact, it is your desire to command the army and fight wits and courage on the battlefield with characters of a higher level. Yun Qianxue looked at the far west and prayed secretly: "O Dilin, before I wash away my shame, you must not be defeated in the hands of others! In that case, His Highness and I, who can only fight with you with the strength of two people, will have no position! But before defeating you, I will first take down Stirling, who is as famous as you, and use his head to add a line to my fateful battle! You must not let me down, Dilin!

A cavalry herald hurried into view at the foot of the hillside and headed straight for him. Lu Di's guards intercepted in front of him, Yun Qianxue saw that the herald's sweaty appearance was very anxious, and her heart moved, and she said to Lu Di: "Sir, let him come over!"

Lu Di waved his hand, and the guards let go of the interception. The cavalry jumped off his horse, hurried close without even wiping his sweat, and knelt down on one knee: "Urgent military situation to the sir!"

Lu Di snorted: "Speak!"

"The Terran Zhōngyāng army has attacked in a big way, and has forcibly crossed the Greywater River, crushing our clan's three-way soldiers and horses, seven teams! Baron Mooy has been killed in battle! At present, Stirling has approached the maple leaf Danlu where His Majesty's royal car is located!"

Lu Di and Yun Qianxue were shocked at the same time, and Yun Qianxue asked first: "How is Sterling's strength?"

"Stirling is extremely strong, and it is rumored that he has succeeded him as commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Theater, commanding all the Far Eastern Army, with a force of up to 500,000 troops!"

Lu Di and Yun Qianxue glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes: although the demon soldiers and rebels have a total strength of more than two million, in order to eliminate the living force of the human race, at the highest imperial military meeting of the demon race, Mr. Wuyue, the chief military division, arranged an unprecedentedly huge encirclement across the seven provinces and regions, with the aim of completely annihilating the defeated human troops gathered in the two provinces of Deya and Ilia, and the soldiers and horses of the demon clan were scattered everywhere as planned.

Originally, I thought that the human strength was only five or six hundred thousand, and after the first round of blows, it had already collapsed, so there was nothing to be afraid of, but I didn't expect that Stirling still had such a powerful strength in his hands! In this way, the scattered armies of the demon race were in danger of being broken one by one by Stirling, who had the advantage of mobility in the inner line, with local superior forces!

What is even more terrifying is that Stirling's purpose seems to be to be the royal driver! At this time, in front of the royal driver, there are only 200,000 soldiers and horses accompanying him. What if that Purple River Tiger is really as terrible as the rumors......

Emperor Lu roared like thunder and scolded: "Pingjinghou, this dead dog! What bad information did you give us! What kind of bad information did you say, the Zichuan family only has so many troops of less than 600,000! Go back and see me peel your skin! Xiang Wuyue, you guy who pretends to be a ghost, what kind of bad plan you have planned!"

Yun Qianxue didn't say a word, turned over and got on his horse, and the fiery fighting passion burned in his body: Zichuan Tiger, you really didn't disappoint me! Come on, you are mine!

Lu Di looked at Yun Qianxue and was anxious to leave, and hurriedly asked: "General Yulin, what should I do with my legion?" Continue to advance as planned, or still ......?"

"Sir, it is your duty to command the legion, please cut yourself off! The military affairs are urgent, I take my leave!" Yun Qianxue did not stop leading a team of Yulin cavalry to gallop away, leaving only the sky full of dust, choking Lu Di's nose, and provoking him to scold for a while.

When Yun Qianxue's figure had disappeared, Emperor Lu stopped scolding and began to think: What should I do? Unlike Yun Qianxue and other high-ranking royal families, the reason why Emperor Lu was able to climb from the lowest-level demon clan to the high position of the duke and legion commander was because of his strength and brutality and his undetermined loyalty to the Demon God Emperor. Thinking with his head is not his forte, he is used to following orders and executing.

But now that the situation has changed abruptly, the Divine Emperor is not around, the two highnesses are not around, the chief military division Xiang Wuyue is not around, and there is no one who can obey orders, Lu Di has to turn to his already pitiful brain to think seriously: What should I do? Advance or retreat?

Perhaps it was a miracle that blessed his soul, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lu Di's mind: Isn't this a heaven-sent opportunity! What a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions! If I can defeat the Zichuan Tiger, who is known as the number one general in Zichuan, then the first merit this time will be none other than mine! No matter how many defeated soldiers and ordinary people are killed, this merit cannot be compared! What's more, if you are lucky...

Lu Di had already imagined such a situation in his mind: Stirling's raging army was surging in, and the hateful little white-faced Yun Qianxue had been frightened and fled, and the Divine Emperor had no one to escort him, and His Majesty the Divine Emperor shouted anxiously:

"Someone! Someone! Someone! Which family is coming to escort you! I have a reward! Help!" At this time, he led an army of Biao to suddenly kill like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and repelled Stirling at once. He knelt down on one knee: "Emperor Chenlu is too late to escort him! Please don't panic, just hand it over to the minister!"

So the Divine Emperor stroked his chest with peace of mind: "Sure enough, it is still the Lu Diqing family that is the most brave and loyal! I will make you the Prince of Lu Di! What Yun Qianxue, Ling Buxu, Xiang Wuyue, and others are unreliable! You see which of them is not pleasing to the eye, just kill them!" So who do you want to kill first? Ling Buxu or Yun Qianxue? This is really nerve-wracking! Just kill the two together......

The expression on Lu Di's face changed, he suddenly smiled, suddenly gritted his teeth, and suddenly frowned again, and let out a "hehe" giggle from time to time. The guards exchanged uneasy glances: Isn't he crazy?

"Alright!" Ludi had already made up his mind: the Valen Fortress would not run away on long legs anyway, and it would not be too late to attack it in the future. This kind of opportunity to escort the sky is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be a pity to let it go!

Lu Di issued an order: "Pass the order: all turn around, we will return the same way!" The long army turned around obediently, and the rear team became the front team, and turned back again.

Lu Di secretly admired himself: I am really too smart and too smart! I can actually come up with such a good idea! Now that I have made a great contribution, who dares to say that I, Lu Di, have no brains! It's just that this matter must be kept secret, otherwise it will be troublesome if people from other troops know about it and come to grab the credit! -- What he didn't know was that at this time, almost all the generals of the Demon Race Unified Army had come to almost the same conclusion as him: This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service!

Either in order to snatch the credit of the emergency escort at the moment of crisis, or to defeat the honor of Stirling, the first general of the human race, or to show their loyalty to the Demon God Emperor, the generals of the demon clan who had gone deep into the Far East withdrew their troops and turned around, rushing to kill the Tussaud Province, to defeat the zhōngyāng army before the others and take Stirling's head. Xiang Wuyue, the chief military commander of the demon clan, was furious behind the mask: it was originally a perfect encirclement, but the generals ran back one by one with their tongues stuck out and shouted: "Your Majesty is okay, right?

Xiang Wuyue stamped her feet and shouted, "Go back!" But how could the generals be willing to give up this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions? During the day, they pretended to set off, but at night they sneaked back and ambushed around the Demon God Emperor's royal car - and even fought each other in order to force a good position in the vicinity. Everyone hid in snowdrifts, ditches, dung pits, and tall trees, endured freezing and starvation, mosquito bites, and sleepless, just for a great dream: King Qin's protection must be me!

Every tree in the Maple Leaf Danlin was crowded with demon soldiers who were eager to make meritorious contributions. They stared at the horizon as they waited for Sterling to appear. The arrogant generals of the demon clan sighed for a long time: "Stirling, why haven't you come yet?", complaining like a widow whose husband has been dead for ten years.

※※※

Because of this, the two provinces of Deya and Iria, with a total of 4 million human soldiers and civilians, were able to barely escape the encirclement and fled to the hinterland of the family through the fortress of Guò Valen. On January 21, 780, 300,000 civilians, the last of the inhabitants to flee, entered the fortress of Valen. Less than ten kilometers behind them, the more than 20,000 Far East garrisons responsible for the broken rear and the Demon Ling Buxu Legion, the first Demon General to wake up, fought and retreated. In this battle, the governor of the Far Eastern province of Ilya, Irinin, was killed in battle, and was posthumously promoted to deputy commander by the Command, and most of his remaining troops retreated to the Valen fortress.

At this time, the Stirling Legion still stayed in Tussauds Province, thousands of kilometers away from the Valen Fortress, to attract the attention of the demons. Within a radius of fifty kilometers with him as the center, millions of combined forces of demons and rebels have gathered, and new troops are still arriving at night...
