Chapter 69: Both sides lose
Although Yi Jiahong's elite soldiers are strong, there are too many people on the side of the soldiers, twice as many as him, and the soldiers on both sides are experienced in a hundred battles, no one is better than the other, and it is the best result to be able to tie.
Just when they were fighting hotly, something strange happened at the gate of the palace, and both sides temporarily ceased fighting, and they all looked at the gate of the palace.
Watching the movements of those people, cutting their wrists, bleeding, and finally forming a humanoid monster, with no facial features, only hands and feet, the blood of those people was sucked dry by this monster, and the corpse fell straight down, with a bang.
Some people watched this kind of scene, so frightened that they retreated again and again, unable to hold the weapons in their hands, their faces were pale, and their eyes looked at it with fear.
"What the hell is this?" Naturally, the squire of the military department also saw it, his expression was tense, and he looked at the monster in front of him seriously.
"I don't know yet, this is what that demon cultivator came up with, there are so many people in this palace, and I don't know how many places there are, all like this, now do you still want to be loyal to that third prince? I don't have the ability, but it's very powerful to do these things that are not done by people. ”
Yi Jiahong said mockingly on the side, without the slightest respect for Dongfang Muyu in his mouth, and he did not have a good tone towards him.
The soldier-head squire didn't contradict him, just kept staring at the monster. Iga Hiroshi ignored him and looked at the monster very nervously.
Soon the monster took shape, and it turned its gaze to their side. Although the monster had no facial features, they inexplicably felt that the monster was watching them.
The monster opened a black hole, emitting a strong smell of blood, and the soldiers who were close to it couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
The monster reached out and grabbed one of the soldiers, and before they could react, swallowed him in one gulp, without even making a sound.
When the others saw this, they rushed forward to avenge the brother, and stabbed it with their weapons, but the monster was three feet tall, and these soldiers were just little ants to it, and their strength seemed to the monster to just tickle it.
It stretched out its hand and grabbed a few, and stuffed it into its mouth indiscriminately, and some of them could not be stuffed, and the hands and legs of those soldiers were still exposed, and the blood flowed outside, dripping onto the faces of the soldiers at its feet.
The brother who once fought side by side, now his blood is dripping on his face, which is a shame and anger for these soldiers.
"Lao Tzu fought with you! Ahh
"Ahh
"Rush!"
Stimulated by the monster's behavior, more and more soldiers rushed over with weapons.
But they are soldiers who fight bravely on the battlefield, but for facing a monster that is too different from them, this is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car, that is, giving away people's heads and replenishing the monster's energy.
The squire of the military department couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed forward with his sword and fought side by side with his soldiers, and Ikahiro also stepped forward with his sword.
The soldier's squire was once a wolf on the battlefield, and with the help of Ikahiro, the two cooperated one by one, and it can be regarded as subduing the monster.
The soldiers saw that the general was in the lead, and they did not flinch, they were small and their strength was not enough, so they released their various spiritual powers together.
Fire, water, and even the weapon is strengthened with spiritual power, and the weapon is stabbed into the monster's leg with all its might.
The soldier's squire used his own trick - puppet transformation.
The soldier is a wood spiritual root, his weapon is a spear, he can use the wood spirit power, give the spiritual power to the spear, the spear can be made longer and shorter, bigger and smaller. Puppet transformation is his special trick, as long as the enemy has something related to wood, he can turn that person into a wood, like a puppet.
But this kind of trick also has a flaw, every time it is used, it will consume his spirit root and consume his life, but it is extremely lethal, and every time the enemy is killed, without exception.
But he had only used it five times, and his cultivation had begun to regress, and he was growing old fast, he was only fifteen years older than Ikahiro, but he looked thirty years older than him.
His blow was extremely powerful, with the spear as a connection, the monster's body was slowly turning into a puppet, at first the feet couldn't move, slowly the waist, the upper body, then the hands, and finally the head couldn't move.
The soldier's squire made a trick, his body was exhausted, and because he had fought with Yi Jiahong for too long before, he consumed too much spiritual power, and fell from the roof at this time.
"General!"
"General, are you alright?"
"General!"
After the monster was subdued, all the soldiers rushed over, caring for the unconscious general.
"He's fine, you take him with you, stay here and don't run around." After Yi Jiahong checked his pulse, he explained to the soldiers who cared about him.
"General Yi, thank you, our general is just confused for a while, he wasn't like this before, if it weren't for the third prince...... Thank you, General Yi, we will listen to you and will not walk around. However, if General Yi sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he also asks General Yi to intercede for our general and spare the general's life! ”
At this time, a soldier in armor came to them, and he seemed to know the soldier very well.
This person Yi Jiahong had seen before, he was the deputy general of the military department, and he had accompanied him to the battlefield, went down to the wolf's den, and died nine times for life, and the two of them were like brothers.
The adjutant general also knew what rebellion meant, and he also knew that if the prince won, the general would definitely die, even if the prince was generous and benevolent, regardless of his past suspicions, but no one in the upper position could tolerate a rebellious person by his side.
What's more, this person still supported the three princes. The deputy general didn't think that the third prince would win, but with the help of Yi Jiahong, I heard that there are still people from the Divine Sword Sect, even if the third prince has the help of the demon cultivator, it is impossible to win, and that demon cultivator is likely to lie to him again.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask for mercy to prevent the squire of the military department from being executed.
"General Ben doesn't know how to deal with this matter, but it can only be decided by the prince, and now General Ben is going to support the prince, these monsters, there must be more than here, General Ben is going to see other places."
Yi Jiahong is not qualified to make decisions for others, so he can only refuse politely.
The soldier was once a man who was loyal to the dynasty, to the people, and to his army. Now that it has become like this, he has been blinded, and what kind of result he gets after that, this is what he should bear.
After Yi Jiahong finished talking to the deputy general, he left the Beigong Gate with his soldiers and headed towards the west.
When he came, he had 5,000 elite soldiers, but now there are only more than 3,000 people, and he has suffered heavy losses, but for the sake of the people and the world, he must sacrifice.
Only the soldiers who were left behind watched them leave.
"My lord, what should we do now, should we continue to go to the palace, or should we ......" At this time, a soldier beside him held a weapon and looked at the adjutant general.
They didn't ask for anything on their side, there were about 10,000 people, but now there were only 5,000 soldiers left, and when they looked back, they were all the corpses of the brothers, some of them and some of the others.
"All go back the way you came, dead brethren, I will appease you." The adjutant general picked up the squire of the military department and took the lead to return the same way.
"But the general...... "There are still people who hesitate in place, they are soldiers, they are used to listening to the general's orders, and without the general's orders at this time, they dare not act rashly.
"Let's go, it's not safe here."
