6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 423 The Artifact of the Deadwood Gate

"Uncle Remington!" Cynthia's voice suddenly came from the battlefield, "You're still alive?" ”

"Cynthia?" Remington concentrated on resisting the impact of the Twin Swords Ghost Face Soldier in his hand, "Don't worry, the light of the Heavenly Dao has not been extinguished, and the world of great governance has not yet come, we will not die!" ”

Those two-bladed ghost-faced soldiers pounced on them like locusts, and although the stick formation of the Deadwood Gate was fierce, it could only withstand their attack.

"Boy, good means!" The magic star waved his staff, and it seemed to inject stronger soul power into those two-bladed ghost-faced soldiers. In an instant, the eyes of those ghost-faced soldiers glowed scarlet, their bodies became more violent, and their attacks became more ferocious.

The sound of the collision between the twin knives and the iron rod became more and more intense, and the two soul-magic energies tore fiercely in the air. The Ghost-Faced Soldier's continuous attacks gradually carved a rift in the Deadwood Gate's stick formation, and this rift seemed to be expanding.

"Hold on!" Edward hurriedly brandished his iron rod and shouted, "How can the light of the Heavenly Dao be extinguished in such a place!" ”

Amidst the shouts, Cynthia rushed out and threw a pitch-black stick at Edward, "This is Grandpa's relic!" Uncle Edward catch! ”

"The Wand of the Heavens?!" Edward's tired eyes suddenly burst into a brave gaze, he jumped up in surprise and caught the black iron rod that looked unsightly, "Grandmaster's iron rod, please help me break the enemy and create a world of great rule!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the pitch-black iron rod suddenly emitted a yellow-brown light, and a majestic soul magic instantly enveloped him.

"Be with me, O power of the heavens! Cut off the claws of these demons and sweep away the obstacles in front of the Heavenly Dao! He muttered a prayer that no one could understand, and the pitch-black iron rod in his hand slammed into the jaw of a two-bladed ghost-faced soldier.

There was a muffled sound, as if it were a war drum.

The ghost-faced soldier staggered back a few steps under a single blow, and then spat out demon blood in a big gulp.

"This ...... How is this possible? Tsukihime exclaimed when she saw this. She had always heard that this kind of double-bladed ghost-faced soldier was invulnerable, and only the world-destroying divine power could destroy it.

Then Edward thought for a moment, and then made another move. I saw the iron rod hit the stomach of another ghost-faced soldier with a thud of soul energy, and the ghost-faced soldier's stomach instantly swelled like a balloon.

Just a few seconds later, the soldier's stomach burst open with a loud thud, and his internal organs were sprinkled all over the battlefield like ribbons in a salute.

This tragic scene shocked everyone present, and for a while, the officers and soldiers of both the Red Pavilion and the Demon Clan were stunned at this moment.

"Deadwood Turning Blood Dafa?!" Demon Star suddenly remembered something, "It's him, it's his disciple!" Withdraw your troops, withdraw your troops! ”

Hearing him roar like this, the demon soldiers immediately ran away like a pack of wild dogs.

The four sergeants of Fili, Danica, the young man, and Mira took turns to cover up and kill for a while, killing the corpses of the demon soldiers all over the field. However, Yueji called open the city gate in time, and the Demon Star and their main force were able to escape into the Wild Sand Temple.

……

An ambush, and the Red Pavilion won a big victory.

After the battle, the sergeants treated the wounded, rebuilt the camp, supplied supplies, and recorded the exploits of the battle, all in an orderly manner, and the officers at all levels arranged and completed the work without the general's order.

Behind such high administrative efficiency is meticulous system building and strict military discipline. Cynthia is also an officer, so she naturally knows how this works.

"Those demon minions and imperial relics say that the Red Pavilion is a gang of 'bandits', if this can also be considered bandits, then what should our army be." Cynthia smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Cynthia." Remington and Edward found her, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Edward looked at the costume she was wearing, "We will work hard to make a contribution, please release you as soon as possible." ”

"There's no need for that." Cynthia shook her hand, "It's me who has betrayed the creed left by my grandfather, and it's all my own fault." ”

Remington sighed, "It's not easy for the sect to ask us to abandon the glory and wealth that the empire has given us. After the sect was slaughtered by the Emperor, there were even fewer people who could adhere to the creed. ”

"The power given by the empire is only poison, which will unconsciously breed greedy desires, and eventually join those corrupt nobles and become their accomplices." Cynthia said, "Unfortunately, I realized it too late. ”

Edward handed over the pitch-black iron staff, "Thank you for the battle today. ”

Cynthia shook her head, rejecting the weapon that Edward had handed her.

Edward frowned, "This is the sect master's magic weapon, and you are its successor." ”

"No, I'm not." Cynthia still shook her head, "I have already turned my back on my grandfather's creed, and I have also turned my back on the 'Deadwood Gate', I don't deserve to use such a weapon." ”

"But......" Edward was about to say something, but Cynthia interrupted him.

"Grandpa's successor is you." Cynthia pushed the iron staff back into Edward's hands, "It is you who have held his creed, and it is you who are guarding the light of the Heavenly Dao. ”

While a few people were talking, a pretty black figure appeared in front of them, "Little woman Hei Ningxue, please St. Ann, I take the liberty to disturb you." ”

Remington and Edward had only heard that Hei Ningxue was a demon general, and they didn't have a good impression of her, and they always had an indifferent face towards her.

However, Cynthia had already heard a lot of gossip about Hei Ningxue in prison, and got the knitting rod needles and wool she gave her, and hurriedly saluted her respectfully: "See Her Royal Highness Concubine Side." ”

Hearing her "Your Highness the Side Concubine", the faces of both of them changed, and they couldn't help but begin to regret their rude appearance to Hei Ningxue before.

Hei Ningxue just smiled and said, "Miss Cynthia is really good at talking, pick up some of the things I like to hear." It's a pity that becoming a 'side concubine' is just my good wish, and in the heart of the adult who doesn't laugh, there should be only Her Royal Highness the princess alone. ”

Hearing Hei Ningxue say this, Remington and Edward's faces finally softened a little.

"The Lord of the Red Pavilion sent an order just now." Hei Ningxue said in a dignified manner, "A banquet was held in the main tent of the Chinese army, and the three of them were invited to the table. ”

The three of them followed Hei Ningxue to the main tent, and along the way, they saw many soldiers happily walking back to the various departments with the rewarded wine and meat, and many military departments were knocking and banging to welcome the heroes back.

"Miss Heiningxue." Cynthia suddenly asked, "Will those ordinary soldiers also have a reward?" ”

"Of course." Hei Ningxue smiled lightly, "This is not the army of other kingdoms, only officers have rewards. In the Princess's Army, ordinary soldiers are not only rewarded, but also have the opportunity to be promoted to officer. ”

"Even if you don't come from a noble background, do you have a chance?" Cynthia asked, "Do both Remington and Uncle Edward have a chance?" ”

Hei Ningxue glanced at the two of them, "It's up to them to do this. ”

"What do you mean?" Cynthia asked, puzzled.

Remington sighed, "Grandmaster said that we can't accept the official position of the army, even if it is the army of the Heavenly Dao, it is also the army. ”

Cynthia frowned, "Uncle Remington, you're such a stubborn person. ”

Remington did not refute Cynthia's claim, "Besides, the Grandmaster has left a proverb that we still can't understand. When we help the Heavenly Dao to complete the world of great governance, we will return to the mountains and forests to practice in seclusion. ”

"About your grandmaster, the little girl is a little curious, I don't know if it's convenient to ask?" Hei Ningxue, who was leading the way in front, suddenly asked.

"Just open your mouth." Remington and Edward swept away their previous contemptuous tone and treated her politely.

The Black Condensation Snow Feather Fan shook slightly, and asked as he walked, "I see that when you mentioned a proverb left by the Grandmaster just now, your eyes glanced at this iron rod. Could it be that his last words were the characters engraved on the iron rod? ”

The two didn't expect Hei Ningxue to lead the way in front, but she could see the six roads and listen to all directions, and even such a subtle movement could not escape her eyes. And it was at this glance that she had already guessed eight or nine, and only then did the two of them begin to really admire her.

"Miss Hei Ningxue is right, it's indeed these characters, but we don't have enough understanding and can't understand what it is." Edward said regretfully, "It's just that these words were not engraved, but written with his fingers when the Grandmaster established the Sect. ”

"Written with your finger?" Hei Ning Xue gave an expression of amazement, "The grandmaster of your sect is indeed a generation of geniuses. It's just those characters...... Perhaps you can ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, and perhaps she will give you some advice. ”

Remington's heart suddenly tightened, "Do you know the meaning of these characters?" ”

"How could a person as stupid as me know such profound knowledge." Hei Ningxue pretended to unfold her feather fan mysteriously, covered her mouth and laughed, "I just think that Her Royal Highness the princess may know." ”

While a few people were talking, they had already come to the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Cynthia stepped into the big tent, she saw dozens of generals and officers wearing ceremonial uniforms and short swords at their waists, all of them with extraordinary bearing. In the center of the big tent stood an expressionless man in black, thinking that this was the rumored lord of the Red Pavilion.

Seeing the three of them enter the big tent, Lydia welcomed the three of them in with a smile and introduced them to Buxiao: "These are the rebels who came to help us, and they are the members of the 'Deadwood Gate'. ”

She naturally knew that if she didn't smile, she would have neither an expression nor a response, so in order to avoid being cold, she turned around directly and greeted without a smile: "You have come from afar and helped us defeat the 'Protector of the Nation' many times, I am really grateful." ”

As she spoke, she personally poured a glass of wine for each of the three of them, "To the three distinguished guests." With that, she took the cup and drank it down.

Lydia didn't know how to drink in her previous life, but after entering the army after arriving in this world, she had to learn such a thing as drinking. It's just that she was born with a bad amount of alcohol, and when she gets drunk, she will inevitably go crazy, so she usually drinks very little.

But now she doesn't have to worry about getting drunk at all, after all, there is a black snow behind her - this guy is not only good enough to drink, but also good at all kinds of socialization at the wine table, and is simply a natural "socialite".
