On the plain outside Dingfeng City, the merchant army began to attack the city again, and the roar of one hundred and twenty catapults seemed to increase the speed of the rising sun in the sky.

"I really didn't expect that this Ling Hua Sect's family background would be so strong, we have almost exhausted all the inventory given by the Yeyue Empire over the years, but the other party's talisman array seems to be endless, do we have to even beat our own old books next?" A general beside Long Tianyue who looked invincible asked.

"It's hard for us to ride a tiger now, the Yeyue Empire has given us so many things, it's not for nothing, it's been five days now, although the Yeyue Empire hasn't urged, but we can't keep grinding like this, once the Yeyue Empire is unhappy, I'm afraid our life will be very sad." Long Tianyue frowned.

The general couldn't help frowning when he heard this, this is exactly what they, the high-level leaders of the Shang Kingdom, are worried about, after all, the Qi and Song countries are not absolutely calm, Li Xianzong can't wait for them here indefinitely, he was silent for a long time, and the general pondered: "Otherwise, let's use the method of Master Gu, after all, we now have two million and eight thousand troops, even if the loss is a little bigger, we must take the other party." ”

However, at this time, Long Tianyue was extremely calm, as if he had been woken up by the previous two battles, and said lightly: "General Yu, we can indeed take this Dingfeng City at any cost, but don't forget, Ling Huazong has a teleportation array, and at the last moment, they can use the teleportation array to escape, and wait for us in Liyang City behind, I believe that the defense there must be much stronger than this Dingfeng City, what can we do then?" ”

Just when General Yu was speechless, there was a crazy laugh from Master Gu in front of him, and he kept yelling: "Damn, you finally don't have a charm, haha, it's finally clean, damn, now I'll see how long you can hold on, catapult, give Lao Tzu a damn blow!" ”

Long Tianyue and the two glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both saw the excited look in their eyes, and at the same time, they were both greatly relieved, but then Long Tianyue's face became solemn again, and ordered: "All the rune formations are careful, the other party is likely to launch a counterattack next, pay attention to defense!" ”

The rumbling roar sounded again, under the command of Master Gu, many rune stones smashed towards a certain point of the large array, this time, Ling Huazong did not use the rune array to intercept it again, the boulders smashed on the light mask of the large array one after another, and the next moment, layers of ripples violently swayed on the light mask, and they quickly spread out in circles, and even the light with the light mask flickered slightly.

Master Gu laughed, he couldn't help himself with excitement, and roared: "Although Lao Tzu has not been able to use your big array to advance to the ninth level spirit array master, but after so many days of research, Lao Tzu has also figured out its basic situation, the little cubs of Ling Hua Sect, just watch how Grandpa breaks the formation, haha." ”

However, just as his words fell, a piercing sound of breaking the air had already sounded, and a large black boulder smashed down on them, and the biggest target was naturally their catapult.

Looking at this almost suffocating scene, Master Gu did not panic at all, and even the smug smile on his face did not retract, and at the same time as the boulder fell, the brilliance of the merchant army rose one after another, and quickly formed a pattern of a tsunami covering the sky, the rumbling sound of the waves sounded, colliding with the falling boulders, and after a deafening explosion, the sky was as clear as a mirror, as if nothing had happened.

At the head of the city, Dongfang Tianxiao looked at everything that happened outside with a smile and said, "It seems that Long Tianyue has completely freed himself from the previous blow, and he is worthy of being the marshal of a country, so it's fun." ”

"General, we obviously have a lot of spells, why don't we suddenly use them and let the other party attack." Gao Xuandao.

Dongfang Tianxiao smiled and said: "Don't forget our purpose, killing and injuring a large number of enemies is our biggest goal, from the situation these days, we have seen that Long Tianyue will never recklessly attack the city, and it is meaningless to continue to consume like this, so we have to make it look like the spell has been completely used up, and when they break through the large array, that is, when they attack in a big way, and that is also the time for us to kill a large number of enemies." ”

"In that case, why should we waste so many rune stones to attack them, it proves that they also have the corresponding rune array to block them, and we can't hurt them in a short time?" Li Qing asked puzzled.

Gao Xuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "I happen to know this, it should be to tell the enemy that we are annoyed and angry, further paralyze them, and create better conditions for the smooth implementation of our next plan." ”

Dongfang Tianxiao nodded and said: "You remember, don't be reluctant to consume the necessary on the battlefield, if just some material consumption can cause huge losses to the enemy, it will be worth it, it is much better than us using the lives of soldiers to fill it." ”

In just such a short period of time when a few people were talking, both sides had already launched several rounds of attacks, and the brilliance of the large array of light masks flickered a little, after all, if the attack power of a rune stone completely exploded, it could be equivalent to the full force of a high-level martial artist in the Nai He realm, and if several rounds of continuous attacks were hit in the node area of the large array, even the ninth-level large array would not be comfortable.

At this time, Dongfang Tianxiao turned his head to a middle-aged man behind him who looked to be only in his forties and said to an ordinary-looking man, "Master Su, do you think that with their current level of attack, how long will it take for them to break through the formation?" ”

Master Su is a Spirit Array Master that Ling Hua Sect has absorbed and cultivated over the years, and he has also reached the level of the peak of the eighth level, but with his qualifications, if he wants to break through, I am afraid it will take a long time.

Master Su said in an old-fashioned manner: "If we don't care about it, the big array can support a little more than two days at most, if we just fill the Yuan Crystal, we can support more than three days, if I let me control the big array, they will never want to break the formation." ”

When he said the last sentence, Master Su's face actually showed a hint of pride, and Dongfang Tianxiao smiled and said, "Then order the large array to be filled with Yuan Jing." ”

••••••

In the Huanhua Wetland, the Shadow Guard Commander was intrigued by his subordinates' words and asked, "Oh! One, tell me what you found? ”

No. 1 said: "We found that within a hundred miles of our search, there is no trace of anyone passing by recently, you know, the other side has an army of 80,000, if they pass by, no matter how they hide it, they will leave more or less traces, it is absolutely impossible to leave no trace like now." ”

Hearing this, the commander also fell into deep thought, and after a while, he looked back at the direction of Bu Yueyi and said, "You mean to say that we found the wrong direction in the first place, and we should go back to the original point?" ”

Hearing this, No. 1's body shook slightly, and he immediately said: "The subordinates just said what they saw, and as for the specific situation, it is up to the commander to judge!" ”

Hearing this, the commander nodded, and said "um" softly, as if he was quite satisfied with what No. 1 said, and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "You continue to explore those three roads, and this time you will also be able to detect at least three hundred miles, as for the other direction, hehe, naturally your captain will lead the others to complete." ”

The five of them respectfully accepted the order, and then their figures flashed a few times and disappeared into the distance, and the commander muttered: "The damn Huanhua Wetland is much more troublesome than those martial arts sects and families within the empire." The words fell, and the others disappeared in place.

Next to a waterhole with a radius of about ten feet, two shadow guards are holding a metal rod-like thing into the water, the metal rod is about three feet long, the whole body is silvery-white, if you look closely, there are faint points of light shining on it, after a stick of incense, a shadow guard slowly lifted the metal rod from the water, looking at the body of the rod that became dark green, both of them looked at each other speechlessly.

"Fortunately, we didn't touch this water rashly, it's so toxic, I'm afraid even if we wear the protective clothing of the Shadow Guard, we will be corroded to the point that there is no bone residue left." One of them.

"Number two, judging from the route we traveled earlier, it seems that we have deviated from the intended direction." The other person said and looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "Our current direction should be due west, but according to our understanding, the location of Tianxuanling should be in the northwest of Buyueyi." ”

No. 2 let out a long breath and said, "No. 3, don't forget, we have only only explored more than a hundred miles, and the task given to us by the commander is three hundred miles, besides, who would dare to guarantee that the location of Xuanling that day is a completely straight line." ”

No. 3 nodded when he heard this, and was about to say something, when suddenly, with a bang, a water arrow shot straight into the air in the highly poisonous pool, and then, just when the two of them were stunned, a monster with a body length of about one zhang and a crocodile in appearance, but the whole body was dark green, rushed ashore, opened its mouth, and bit No. 2's waist at once, just before No. 3 was about to pounce to rescue, he retracted back into the pool with No. 2, and the whole process didn't even use a breath of time. The number two had only time to let out a short exclamation before he died.

In a willow forest that looked no different from the rest of the place, two shadow guards were walking through it, and suddenly, they saw two monkeys chasing and playing between the willows in front of them, they looked no different from ordinary monkeys, and there was no strong momentum or spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies, everything seemed so normal.

However, the Shadow Guard, who led the order, stopped, and one of them said, "Four, do you think there is anything wrong with those two monkeys?" ”

"Five, don't you think it's very inappropriate for these two to appear here, think about it, how can there be monkeys in the ordinary willow forest, and how can ordinary monkeys survive in a dangerous place like the Huanhua Wetland?" Avenue IV.

Number Five nodded and said, "However, we don't know what these two monkeys are, whether they are harmful to us or not, do we just look at them like this?" We haven't finished our mission yet. ”

Number Four was also a little troubled, however, at this time, Number Five's head was smashed by a hard thing, and the next moment that thing hit him, it spread out like this, and a large pool of stinky and slimy liquid was all splashed on his head, and then slowly flowed down his head, the liquid was so stinky that even Number Four couldn't help but cover his nose and quickly move away from him.

The two monkeys in the distance quacked excitedly when they saw this, and showed a sneering and defiant gesture very humanely, and one of them showed its big red ass to Five, and patted it with his hand, and then ran away into the distance with a quack.

No. 5 was immediately furious, and chased after the two monkeys with a roar, No. 4 was unable to stop him at the first time because he had already left him at a distance, and he covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and when he spoke, No. 5 had already run out for a long distance, No. 4 was in a hurry, hesitated for a moment, and finally stomped towards No. 5.

The two monkeys don't seem to have the intention of running out of the sight of No. 5, always leaving him with a vague back, and sometimes giving him the illusion of "about to catch up", the more so, the more difficult it is to contain the anger of No. 5, regardless of chasing the monkey around in the willow forest, ignoring the call of No. 4 behind.

After about an hour, Five's mood gradually stabilized, and the figures of the two monkeys disappeared from his sight, releasing Divine Thoughts, and Five's face suddenly became extremely ugly, because Divine Thoughts didn't know what power was imprisoned in his body, and he couldn't release them at all!

No. 4 came to No. 5's side and said lightly: "You finally calmed down, and you have to deal with the two monkeys." ”

No. 5 also knew that he was impulsive, but he snorted coldly: "Hmph, that thing didn't hit your head, of course it doesn't hurt to stand and say cool words, and the smell on my body hasn't completely disappeared even now." ”

"Okay, now we should still think about how to go back, I tried it just now, it's very weird here, even the divine thoughts have been restricted, we have encountered similar situations before, but, no matter what, the divine thoughts can still release some distance, but here it can't be released at all." Number Four said with some apprehension.

Number Five was also a little panicked, and said, "Do you remember the route you came, I was only chasing the damn monkey before, and now I don't even know where I am." ”

"I still remember the route, but don't you think this place is quite weird?" Four reminded.

No. 5 reacted when he heard this, and looked around, only to see that the willows here were all pale pink, if it weren't for the extremely obvious characteristics of those willows, the two of them would probably think that they had run into a peach forest, and what was even more strange was that the two of them even faintly smelled a faint fragrance, and the smell was like a virgin body fragrance, which made both of them have a feeling of being intoxicated in an instant.

An alarm suddenly rose in Four's heart, and he bit the tip of his tongue violently, hoping that the extreme pain would make him wake up, but what made him strange was that the pain that pierced his heart did not come, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, more and more blurred, and gradually, he had forgotten the environment around him, forgot the companions around him, forgot the task, and even forgot himself••••••

Under a willow tree that requires about a dozen adults to hug, No. 1 is sitting on the ground, just bandaging his injured left arm, not far from him, there is a wolf-shaped demon beast with a body length of more than two zhang, there are several wounds of different depths on its body, among which the sword on the neck is a fatal wound, and the small dirt pit on the ground has been filled with the blood of the demon beast, and the strong smell of blood fills the entire space.

No. 1 reluctantly stood up and muttered, "Damn, it's really unlucky, I actually broke into the territory of a ninth-level demon beast, but why didn't I feel the aura of a powerful demon beast beforehand?" ”

After thinking for a moment, No. 1 shook his head and continued to whisper: "Forget it, let's get out of here quickly, no matter what wolf is, it is a social demon beast, if you wait for this guy's clan to come, I'm afraid Lao Tzu's life will have to be put here, hey, it's a pity that this is a good material, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to clean it up." Reluctantly glancing at the body of the demon wolf, No. 1 turned around and left quickly.

However, not long after he left, a group of demon wolves ran over quickly, and if you look closely, there are about forty or fifty of them, the head wolf is more than three zhang long, and the height is close to one zhang, the whole body is turquoise, there is not a single miscellaneous hair, the eyes are blood-red, and the fangs flashing with cold light in a big mouth make people feel that they can easily tear their hardest bones apart.

Slowly came to the corpse of the dead demon wolf, the head wolf slowly lowered the huge head, in the scarlet wolf eyes, actually shed big tears, suddenly, the head wolf raised his head and let out a long howl, the voice was full of sadness, resentment and violence, the rest of the demon wolves also followed the leader to look up to the sky and howl, a moment later, all the demon wolves' eyes exuded a fierce, hateful light, spread their four hooves, and chased in the direction of the No. 1 escape like the wind.

••••••

Outside Dingfeng City, a rumbling catapult roared out, and then, a large piece of rune stones were placed on the light shield of the Linghua Sect's city protection array, and the explosion sound was endless, and the light shield began to shake violently.

At the head of the city, the same roar of catapults sounded, but the momentum was much weaker than that of the merchant army, obviously their number of catapults was far inferior to that of the other party, and on the side of the merchant army, a tsunami of sky-covering runes rose, blocking those rune stones with terrifying lethality.

"Haha, the energy of the big array is about to run out, the core of the big array has been damaged, now even if they reload the Yuan Crystal, it's useless, there will be three more rounds of attacks, the big array will be broken, Marshal, you have to be ready, haha." Master Gu laughed arrogantly.

Long Tianyue's eyes were also slow with excitement, and then ordered: "Light and heavy infantry, siege vehicles, ladders, towers, and personnel carriers, all ready, as soon as the big formation is broken, the first and second columns will immediately charge, and the rest of the troops will follow!" ”

His order was shouted by infused with True Yuan Force, and he didn't have the intention of concealing Ling Huajun's intention at all, that is, to crush you with absolute strength, and the rest of the troops surrounded on three sides also gathered True Yuan to answer loudly when they heard Long Tianyue's order, and the two million troops shouted in unison, and the momentum could only be described as earth-shattering.

At the head of the city, all the Linghua troops were also nervous, after all, the other party had more than twice as many troops as themselves, and the attack at that time was probably really thunderous, at this time, Dongfang Tianxiao's steady voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Don't be nervous, just follow what we have arranged in advance, you are all strong in a hundred battles, let us have a beautiful massacre today, and kill all the enemies!" ”

"Roar, kill, kill, kill!" The millions of Linghua troops also shouted in unison, the momentum was not inferior to the merchant army, and the light mask was shattered in the last round of roars of the opponent's catapult, and then, the merchant army on each side had twenty phalanxes roaring with heavy shields on each side and surging over like a tide, and behind them, a short distance was a variety of siege equipment slowly advancing.

Five, four, and three miles, when the vanguard of the merchant army came to the city wall, there was a sudden collapse of a large area on the ground, and a huge pit was like the giant mouth of a monster revealed, frantically devouring the enemy troops around it, and the miserable howls and angry scolding sounded instantly, and the rhythm of the merchant army's attack slowed down.

"Hehe, the general is really clever, but this most ordinary trap has played the biggest role, and I'm afraid it will trap twenty or thirty thousand of them all at once." Gao Xuan said excitedly.

"If the four sides are added up, it should be about this number, by the way, General, why don't we use the rune array, that effect should be better." Li Qingdao.

"These are cannon fodder troops at the beginning, used to probe our strength and some arrangements, they are usually low-cultivated, it is a waste to use the rune array to deal with them, and then there is, the rune array will more or less emit some energy fluctuations, for the martial artist, it is not difficult to detect this." Dongfang Tianxiao said lightly.

Under the city, the vanguard had bypassed the big pits and continued to rush towards the city walls, they didn't seem to care about the death of their comrades at all, and they didn't seem to care about the death they were about to face, as if they were a large group of puppets fearlessly rushing over.

The chariots that followed behind instantly slowed down their speed, but let out a huge, as if it was a cube, pushed by hundreds of people, and soon, those big black boxes were pushed to the side of the big pits, and the soldiers did not hesitate to push those boxes directly into the deep pits, and directly filled up most of the big pits, and then filled the entire big pits, and the siege equipment behind them rushed over as if they were walking on the ground.

At this time, the infantry in front had already rushed to within two miles of the city wall, however, what made Long Tianyue slightly stunned was that the other party actually did not place things such as rune arrays and low-level spirit arrays within this range, so they let their advance death squad rush over like this.

A trace of doubt flashed, Long Tianyue pointed the spear in his hand to the sky, and in an instant, the follow-up troops stopped their momentum and slowly stopped, just outside the range of two miles, while the advance death squad still rushed forward brazenly, and soon came to the city wall.

At this moment, at the head of the city, the roar of the catapult sounded, Long Tianyue was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and shouted: "Fooled, the talisman array quickly resists!" ”

This voice immediately stunned the soldiers under him, but the habit of obeying orders cultivated by long-term training still made them subconsciously release the Tsunami Covering Array, however, this was a slow beat, and a large number of rune stones had reached the top of their heads.

Boom, boom, dozens of huge explosions sounded in the follow-up attack team of the merchant army, a cluster of blazing fire flashed, followed by a thick black mushroom cloud rising with a scream that was enough to cause the entire army to commotion, the merchant army's reaction was still quite fast, as soon as the explosion occurred, the nearby army quickly dispersed, and the other phalanxes also quickly opened enough space for them, although the raid of the Linghua army was quite successful, but the timely response of the merchant army also avoided a large number of unnecessary casualties.

However, how could Ling Huajun give up such an opportunity, the roar of the catapult sounded again, and dozens of rune stones fell towards them, but at this time, the Shang army's tsunami array was already prepared, and the turquoise waves rose, blocking most of the rune stones, as for the few that fell, they couldn't cause much trouble to the merchant army.

However, just before the effect of the Shang Army's tsunami covering the sky disappeared, the roar of the catapults on the top of the city sounded again, this time the momentum was extremely huge, at least twice as loud as the previous two times!

"Damn, Ling Huajun is really too insidious, actually waiting for us in this kind of place, everyone attacks rune stones, don't let those stones fall into our army!" Long Tianyue shouted with a twisted face.

However, to their surprise, the "rune stones" falling in the air did not explode after being hit, but just exploded directly and turned into stone powder in the sky.

However, among the scattered boulders, there was a large amount of black liquid spilled down on the army on the ground, this time the boulder was very scattered, so the area covered by it was quite huge, and each boulder spilled a large amount of liquid, forming an area of black rainstorm in the air.

"Dodge, that's corrosive venom!!" Long Tianyue yelled in the back.

However, his reminder was too late, just as his words fell, the screams of the soldiers were already ringing out in an endless stream, some soldiers' heads were stained with those black liquids, and their helmets were rapidly corroded, and then, their heads also turned into white skeletons in the next one or two breaths, and some of them reacted quickly to block the top of their heads with shields, however, the heavy steel shields also disappeared in two or three breaths, and then, their fate was the same as those soldiers before, The black rain fell on the earth, and the solid earth was also corroded into holes, which looked shocking.

The situation of the other three city walls was different from the front, because they couldn't see it at all under the command of Long Tianyue before, so they naturally proceeded according to the original plan, and the tragic offensive and defensive battles were first launched in these three directions.
