Chapter 219: Decision, Madness, Darkness Before Dawn
"How's it going?"
In the camp of the Elite Royal Court's army, Wei Shu asked a general beside him.
The general looked a little flustered and said, "Your Majesty, the Fire Worship Court has used the ghoul technique!" ”
"What!"
Wei Shu stood up suddenly, and his face became extremely pale.
The art of ghouls, the most evil spell in legend, in the Western Regions, the art of ghouls also carries the god of death.
They believe in all kinds of gods, such as the god of death, the god of fire, the god of sandstorms, and so on, although these gods are limited to legends, but they are groundless, and legends are traceable.
The legends of the gods are based on real people.
For example, the moon god that they believe in by the Peerless Royal Court is a powerful cultivator, although that cultivator is a figure thousands of years ago, and now she can't even find ashes, but the legend left by her power has become the object of many people's beliefs.
Wei Shu doesn't believe in gods, but she knows how terrifying the art of ghouls is.
And Ah Bao next to him was also frightened and pale.
"Mother, do we still want to go over?" Po asked with some horror.
By this time, they had already left their original camp and came to the back of a mountain that was only fifty miles away from the camp of the Fire Worship King.
Wei Shu had already decided to destroy the Fire Worship Court according to Zhao Gao's wishes, so as long as they waited until dawn, they would launch an attack on the Fire Worship Palace.
But at this juncture, the Fire Worship Court actually used the art of ghouls.
Wei Shu's face changed again and again, and a pair of vicissitudes of life jumped rapidly.
She hesitated.
There is no doubt about the horror of the ghoul technique.
But what's even more terrifying is the court of the Fire Worship King, who has mastered the art of ghouls.
If the Flame Worship Court defeats Da Li, then is there still any chance that their Elite Court will survive?
"What time is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's a moment!"
When Wei Shu heard this, he showed a determined look on his face and said, "Gather the soldiers and horses and prepare to go out of the camp to fight!" ”
There was less than an hour before dawn, and it would take a lot of time for the 100,000 army to assemble, and now she didn't have much time to hesitate.
And if this opportunity is missed, the Absolute Royal Court can only be kneaded by the Fire Worship Royal Court in the future.
Perhaps in this battle, the Peerless Royal Court is also at risk of being destroyed.
But instead of living humbly, Wei Shu would rather fight vigorously.
In the past, there was no support from Dali, and there was no hope of living even if she fought hard, but now hope is in front of her, even if this hope seems very slim to her, she still fights once.
"Whoa!"
Several generals of the Fire Worship Court received orders one after another, withdrew from the camp tent and began to gather soldiers and horses.
Po's face was still pale, but the fear had dissipated a lot.
She is not as decisive and firm as Wei Shu, but she is the future queen of the exquisite royal court, and she also has her own persistence and beliefs.
"Bao, you stay in the camp." Wei Shu commanded.
"Why?" Po asked puzzled.
She is not a weak princess, she is also a warrior, she came with the army, just to fight.
Wei Shu looked at her, his eyes full of love.
"If we lose this battle, you have to go to Dali, go to Kyoto in Dali, and ask the powerful Lihuang to help us."
Bao was slightly stunned, "I want to fight with my mother." ”
Wei Shu shook his head slightly, "My mother is already old, even if she dies in battle, it is not a pity, but you are different, you are still young, you are the hope of our exquisite royal court." ”
"As long as you are still here, our Elite Court will not be destroyed."
"Once we are defeated, the mother, the soldiers in the army, and the people of the royal court will need you to take revenge."
"Do you understand?"
Po was silent.
She naturally understands her mother's thoughts and knows the responsibility on her shoulders.
Although she wanted to follow her mother to fight, she knew better what she should do now.
There was a mist in her eyes.
Poof!
"The daughter hopes that her mother will return victorious!"
Wei Shu stepped forward, stroked her head, and said with a smile: "You are the future queen, if your mother is gone, you can't cry anymore." ”
"My daughter understands!"
Although Po said clearly, tears still rolled down her delicate cheeks like beads of broken thread.
……
Lingwei Pass City.
The howling cold wind became colder and colder, and the fluttering snow and frost became more and more rapid.
Billowing smoke rose in the dark night, like billowing demonic energy.
The fighting in the city became more and more fierce and fierce.
The ghouls from outside the city have all poured into the city, wreaking havoc and killing in the streets and houses.
Unintelligent ghouls seem to have the will to destroy everything, and they are fearless of death and pain.
"Guard the battalion, stop them!"
On the street, Xue Yi, who was dressed in armor, roared hoarsely.
The battle was even more brutal than he had imagined, not that the soldiers were not desperate enough, but that these ghouls were terrible.
Ghouls are frozen in ice and move a little slowly, but their combat power is not weak at all.
Their hands and feet are like blades, and they can easily tear through the bodies of soldiers.
And as long as they don't cut off their heads, they won't stop fighting.
In the face of such an enemy, the soldiers must not only endure the fear in their hearts, but also concentrate on the battle, and the slightest mistake will be torn apart by the ghouls.
Click!
Xue Yi slashed down a ghoul in front of him and looked at the street in front of him.
Everywhere the eye can see, there are dense ghouls.
"Damn it!" He cursed.
This kind of battle has been going on for more than an hour, and if they continue to fight, they are afraid that they will not last long.
"General, the street on the south side has been breached!"
At this moment, a herald hurriedly came to report.
Xue Yi's eyes widened, he grabbed a general next to him and asked, "Do we have any support?" ”
In fact, he knew in his heart that they had no support, but he still wanted to ask.
The general cried and said, "The news has already spread, but the fastest support will arrive in five hours." ”
Lingwei Pass is surrounded by treacherous mountainous terrain, and their reinforcements are the border troops stationed at other passes.
Five hours!
By the time reinforcements arrived, they would have been torn apart by these ghouls.
Xue Yi gritted his teeth.
At this time, his heart was full of resentment.
Resentment towards the Fire Worship Court, against Luo Yade, against the people who performed the ghoul technique, and against the court, and against Qin Wei, the new emperor.
"Why?"
"Why don't you mobilize the town defenders of Yuanzhou to come to support!"
"Ah~~"
Xue Yi roared angrily.
If the court mobilized the town defenders from Yuanzhou to come, then the town guards should have arrived at Lingwei Pass at this time.
Resentment brought boundless anger, and anger made Xue Yi fall into madness!
"Kill!"
He leapt to his feet and rushed straight into the ghouls.
The broad knife in his hand swept like a door panel, and each sweep swept away a dozen ghouls.
Unfortunately, such an attack would not kill the ghoul at all, it would only exhaust the last of his strength.
……
As the minutes ticked by, a silver-white dawn suddenly appeared in the eastern sky.
In an instant, the pitch-black sky dome was a little more pale, and the hazy light gave the distant mountains a silver halo.
Above the peaks, Zhao Gao overlooked the Lingwei Pass below.
"Are they all here?"
A faint voice drifted in the cold wind.
"Lord Hui, the army of the Exquisite Royal Court has already left the camp, and it will arrive in more than half an hour."
"The army of the Great Moon Royal Court has already worshiped the west of the Great Moon Royal Court's camp, and it can participate in the battle at any time, the army of the Great Wan Royal Court is still on the way, and it may be late, it is estimated that it will take an hour."
Xiao Wuyu reports.
This time, Zhao Gao contacted three royal courts, the Exquisite Royal Court, the Great Moon Royal Court, and the Dawan Royal Court.
In fact, the most active is not the Exquisite Royal Court, but the Great Moon Royal Court.
Among the countries of the Western Regions, the overall strength of the Great Moon Royal Court was only below the Fire Worship Royal Court.
The one who wants to kill the first one the most is the second.
Third, I want to kill both the first and the second.
Therefore, under Zhao Gao's coercion and temptation, they agreed to Zhao Gao's proposal without any hesitation and jointly besieged the Fire Worship Palace.
The Fire Worship Court thought that his might could subdue the Western Regions Kingdoms, but the Western Regions Kingdoms had long regarded the Fire Worship Court as their greatest enemy.
On the contrary, Dali is not very important in their hearts.
They will not hate Da Li, but will worship Da Li.
Distance produces beauty, and a powerful dynasty that has no intersection with them and is far away has become their most admired existence.
Of course, if they were bordering Dali like the Rong or the Three Kingdoms of the Southern Barbarians, maybe they would no longer respect Dali, and they would become Dali's enemies.
But now the Flame Worship Court is their worst enemy.
Zhao Gao looked up at the eastern sky and said, "It's almost!" ”
"Send a message to General Xue Yi, after the ghoul army is destroyed, let them immediately go out of the city to attack the camp of the Fire Worship Palace!"
"Whoa!"
Xiao Wu responded.
The next moment.
Zhao Gao's figure disappeared on the peak.
Xiao Wu only saw a faint figure between the gray heaven and earth, falling into the camp of the Fire Worship King Court like a drifting snowflake.
In just a moment, there was a commotion in the camp of the Fire Worship Court.
"There is an enemy invasion!"
"Ah, the priests are dead!"
"Devil!"
Cries of fear spread throughout the camp of the Fire Worship Court.
In the dim camp, a series of black figures kept shuttling.
Everywhere the figure passed, it left a wafting pool of blood and a scream of terror.
The night before dawn was the protective color of the net, and hundreds of members of the net moved through the camp, coming and going like ghosts.
Net!
This is the most terrifying existence of Dali, an existence that is even more terrifying than the person who receives it.
The person who receives the life is the foundation accumulated by the old emperor for decades, but the net is an existence cultivated by Qin Wei.
Cultivators below the seventh rank are not eligible to join the net, and the ninth-grade cultivator is the official member of the net.
In order to make the net strong enough, Qin Wei spent several innate prisoners.
All the congenital prisoners imprisoned by Dali were all spent on Luo Net's body.
In today's net, there are five innate martial artists alone, although they are only innate martial artists who have no artistic conception, but it is enough for them to create a fear that no one can match.
In front of the camp of the Fire King's Court.
Luo Yade and Mu Yanxin's faces changed greatly.
"What's going on?"
The commotion in the camp gave rise to a strong sense of unease in Royard's heart.
Mu Yanxin looked at the position of the commotion, "There is an innate powerhouse!" ”
"What?"
Royard panicked.
"Stop him!"
Mu Yanxin didn't say much, and immediately jumped up and rushed towards the camp.
Luo Yade looked at his figure and turned his head sharply, looking in the direction of Lingwei Guancheng.
Under the dim dawn, there were still some crippled ghouls left outside the city of Lingwei Pass, they had lost their legs and could not stand, they could only crawl on the ground, they did not enter the city, but only wandered around outside the city.
By this time, however, the ghouls had all vanished.
Instead of disappearing, it turned into a corpse again, lying in the ice and snow.
"Damn!"
Royard let out a roar.
