In a blink of an eye, Fang Lin and the others had been repairing in Ruijin City for half a month, and everything that needed to be prepared was almost in place, everyone was gearing up, and the atmosphere of the big battle was getting stronger and stronger.

A scout shouted and ran into the council hall, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report, the 200,000 elite disciples of this sect have arrived in Cuizhu City, and Elder Gao is arranging it. ”

Fang Lin nodded and was about to swing back, but the scout spoke again: "In addition, we have already heard the exact movements of the armies of the Eastern Seven Cities and the Northern Seven Cities!" ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and Fang Lin shouted in a low voice: "Say it quickly!" ”

The scout immediately reported: "It turns out that Hua Ping'an and Guan Wangyuan have already secretly contacted the two domain lords of the Northern Regions and the Eastern Regions, and they have secretly transferred all the elite troops to the Eastern and Northern Regions, and in the end, only these old, weak, sick and disabled people and a large number of fake troops are left, and now it can be completely determined that the fourteen cities of the two sides have completely become empty cities, and they have also blocked the Longyin Pass and the Lion Roar Pass, which seems to be about to completely break with the Shang State." ”

This information made everyone fall into silence for a moment, and after a while, Li Haoran asked: "If our news is not wrong, the domain lord of the Northern Regions should be the Meng family, and the domain lord of the Eastern Regions should also be the people of the merchants, if they do this, aren't they afraid that their own family will be destroyed by the angry Shang Emperor." ”

The scout said: "According to the report of the spies we planted in the capital earlier, the Shang Emperor is indeed thunderous and angry, and has gone to raid the two families, but he has only found some insignificant collateral branches and subordinate slaves, and even the clan treasury of the two families is empty, and even the senior officials such as the national teacher and the military department have been sick for five days. ”

"Hehe, it seems that this great merchant country that has stood for hundreds of years has fallen apart, so wouldn't it be easier for us to conquer Rongcheng!" Princess Xiangxiang said.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became hot, and Qu Shan'er, Ayinata and the others jumped up directly with joy, but then Fang Lin's faint voice suddenly made the warm atmosphere quickly cool down.

"Then, this also means that the two regions in the Northeast have declared independence, have you ever thought about why they are independent, is it just their family's operation over the years, don't forget, this is a long-planned plan, without the intervention and interference of external forces, the two major families dare to do this? Once the Shang Kingdom is destroyed, what will they use against us? Fang Lin said.

The smile on Concubine Shu's face instantly retracted, and she said solemnly: "But the countries adjacent to us don't have that strength, not to mention that they have all been subdued by the Yeyue Empire." ”

Dongfang Tianxiao sighed heavily: "Hey, needless to say, the mastermind behind the scenes must be the Yeyue Empire, and it is certain that the Yeyue Empire has also given them a lot of benefits and promises, otherwise, how dare they be so unscrupulous, hehe." ”

Li Haoran immediately reacted and said, "The Yeyue Empire is really clever at playing, in this way, our development will be restricted, and these two domains will still have a knife on our necks at any time." ”

"The Yeyue Empire is really insidious, on the one hand, he wants us to take the Shang Kingdom, and on the other hand, he supports the independence of the two major families, he is really a villain who has no word to be trusted!" Qu Shan'er cursed with some emotion.

Everyone glanced at Qu Shan'er in disbelief, although they felt that her reaction seemed to be a little bigger, but they didn't think much about it, Fang Lin waved his hand and said: "This is nothing despicable or despicable, if I were Li Tianyou, I would do the same, because our development has made the Yeyue Empire see a trace of threat, I'm afraid we have already been put on the agenda by the Yeyue Empire's Military Aircraft Department." ”

"In this way, the Yeyue Empire has made a cage for us and trapped us, and it will be even more difficult for us to develop in the future!" A hint of hatred flashed in Bai Lian's eyes.

"Fang Lin, are we going to be trapped to death like this, or do we have any way to break the situation?" Wen Yue'er blinked her eyes wide.

Fang Lin smiled and said indifferently: "Don't worry, the Yeyue Empire won't be trapped by us like this, at present, our first task is to take Rongcheng, at least buy some time with the Yeyue Empire, and quickly free up our hands to solve the matter over there in the Huanhua Wetland!" ”

Li Haoran also laughed and said: "That's right, the Yeyue Empire thought that it would be able to trap us in this way, but we don't know that the Huanhua Wetland is in our hands at all, and our development space is still very large, haha." ”

Fang Lin nodded, looked at the scout below and said, "Have you received any news from General Meng these days?" ”

The scout shook his head and said, "There hasn't been any news from General Meng in the past month. ”

Fang Lin waved his hand to dismiss the scout, and then said with some concern: "I'm afraid Meng Xuan's situation is not good, the Meng family is so reversed, she will definitely be implicated, hey, the chess pieces around the Shang Emperor are gone." ”

"Could it be that Meng Xuan is dead?" Ayinata said.

"No, she has a spiritual connection with me, I can feel it, she's still alive, well, wait and see, if she's in danger, she'll definitely find a chance to ask us for help." Fang Lin Road.

"So, why don't we try to contact her?" Concubine Shu asked tentatively.

"Absolutely not, the situation is unclear now, if we contact her rashly, it is very likely to bring her great danger, and maybe it will ruin her plan, so we can only wait!" Fang Lin said in a somewhat stern tone.

All the people who had this idea couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard this, Fang Lin Chang took a breath, stood up and said, "Someone, pass on my orders, the army is ready, and attack Qunying Town in three days!" ”

••••••

Huanhua Wetland, in the Demon Wolf Valley, Yan Ji saw the commander's fast sword stabbing towards his neck, he was suddenly startled, he didn't have time to think about it, his body turned into a streamer and flew towards the rear, the great commander looked at Yan Ji's retreating body, his eyes were full of sarcasm, he didn't say a word, and the speed was accelerated by three points again, and he was approaching away.

Looking at the other party's sword, Yan Ji knew that he couldn't dodge it with his own speed, and suddenly, the light flashed and turned back into his body, which was a silver-white giant wolf with a shoulder height of seven or eight zhang and a body length of fifteen or sixteen zhang, a handful of red hair like a flame shape at the center of his eyebrows was particularly eye-catching, and a pair of dark blue eyes stared fiercely at the small figure in front of him that was rapidly attacking him.

Poof, with a soft sound, Yan Ji looked up to the sky and let out a painful wolf howl, and the Great Commander's sword pierced into her left forelimb, and then, Yan Ji raised her huge right claw and slapped it towards the Great Commander's head, and the strong wind it brought made the Great Commander's cheeks hurt, she had no doubt that if she was slapped by this claw, her head would definitely turn into a rotten watermelon!

Without hesitation, her right hand let go of the hilt of the sword, and with a flash of light, a round black shield appeared in her hand, and the shield instantly skyrocketed, completely covering her body, and a bright golden light flashed on the surface of the shield, which turned out to be a seventh-level vajra talisman!

Boom~~ The next moment, the huge wolf claw slapped on the shield fiercely, making a shocking explosion, but the energy ripples disappeared into invisibility before they had time to spread out, and the light on the shield flashed rapidly, but in a breath of time, the seventh-level vajra talisman was broken, but the shield body shone with its strong black light, resisting the angry blow of Yan Ji, and the shield turned out to be a spiritual weapon!

However, the Great Commander was not comfortable, after all, even a spiritual weapon could not completely resist external forces, she was also shocked by this blow and her blood churned a little, and she couldn't stabilize her body and flew out upside down, but at the moment when she just flew out, her left hand held the hilt of the sword inserted in Yan Ji's left forelimb, and as she flew upside down, she pulled it out, and a stream of blood swords shot out, so painful that Yan Ji raised her head to the sky again and let out an angry scream.

The Grand Commander flew upside down for more than a dozen zhang to stabilize his body, coughed violently a few times before he could barely stabilize his churning qi and blood, and then looked at the motionless Yan Ji in the distance, his eyes were full of disdain and contempt, and he said provocatively: "I thought how strong you were, it turned out to be just a useless vase, and I couldn't even block this ordinary blow from me, it's really disappointing, now that you're injured, what else can you use to fight me?" ”

Yan Ji's mouth opened and closed, and he actually spoke: "Hmph, human, if it weren't for your despicable sneak attack, you think you could hurt me?" However, you really made the slave family angry. ”

Immediately after, the Great Commander's eyes involuntarily widened, and he saw a flash of red light on Yan Ji's left forelimb, and the wound was actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Yan Ji's cold and fierce eyes were locked on her body.

"Can't give her any more time to recover." The Great Commander said secretly in his heart, and then snorted coldly, the light of the thin sword in his hand flashed, and he actually swallowed out a sword light that was a few feet long-a spiritual weapon, and this thin sword turned out to be a spiritual weapon!

The figure flashed, and he rushed towards Yan Ji again, the speed was the same as the previous sword, as fast as a meteor, and it took the solemn flame mark of Yan Ji's eyebrows!

This time, Yan Ji was prepared, and her big mouth spread out one by one, and a True Yuan shield was condensed in front of her, but it looked like a real shield.

Poof, with a soft sound, the thin sword pierced into the shield, but it failed to make the shield burst, the commander was slightly startled, and said in his heart: "What a strong defense!" ”

However, she didn't know that this was a kind of martial art of the ancient demon clan, called the shield of transformation, and its defensive power was extremely perverted, which was obtained by Fang Lin and others in the Shark Emperor Palace, and was later passed on to Yan Ji by Invite Yue.

However, the Great Commander's reaction was quite fast, and the next second his body spun in the air, trying to shatter the shield, however, to her surprise, the shield did not burst, but the sword pierced deeper.

"Oh no, I've been tricked!" A hint of alarm suddenly rose in the heart of the Great Commander, and he did not hesitate to urge Zhenyuan, and the body that was still spinning immediately stopped, and then shot backwards, and the shield in his left hand was directly blocked in front of him.

Sure enough, the next moment, Yan Ji's huge figure appeared in front of her, and a claw slapped over, and there was a strong red light attached to the claw, which was obviously an attack with a fire attribute.

Bang~~ There was an explosion, and the figure of the Great Commander flew out like a cannonball, but because of the early retreat and proper defense, this blow did not cause any damage to her, and after flying out of more than ten zhang, the Great Commander fell steadily to the ground, and the thin sword pulled out a sword flower in front of him, and said with a smile: "Giggles, a demon beast is a demon beast, even if it has a strong strength, it will not be used." ”

When Yan Ji heard this, she immediately went wild, since she transformed into a demon beast, she hated it the most when others called her a demon beast or a spirit beast, and anyone who called her like this was torn apart by her, Yan Ji opened and closed her mouth, and said in her mouth: "Human, you have completely angered me, I will tear you to pieces!" ”

As she spoke, a fireball had already condensed and formed in her mouth, and when she opened her mouth and spit out, the fireball turned into a streamer and shot towards the Grand Commander, and the fireball rose against the storm, and when it reached the front of the Grand Commander, it was already a few feet in diameter, and it contained violent energy, which was enough to flatten a small hill.

The Great Commander didn't dare to be careless, and a bead the size of a fist of azure light suddenly appeared above his head, and his handprints kept changing, and at a certain moment he suddenly shouted: "Infinite Water Waves!" ”

Suddenly, there was a turbulent sound of waves, and then, the blue light on the bead above the head of the Grand Leader flashed, and a column of water spun like a whirlpool and sprayed out of the bead, shooting towards the fireball, which was not big at first, but as soon as it broke away from the bead, it immediately became larger, and in the blink of an eye, it became about the size of a fireball!

Unexpectedly, the sound of water and fire colliding sounded, and the two rolled against each other in the air, melting into each other, and a large white mist rose up, enveloping the figures of the Great Commander and Yan Ji.

After five or six breaths, the sound disappeared, and the mist gradually dissipated, but a man and a beast just stood quietly in place, looking at each other, but the commander's breathing was slightly uneven, and suddenly Yan Ji's big mouth opened and said: "There are really a lot of treasures on your body, if you are not mistaken, your bead should be a spiritual treasure, oops, the people of the Yeyue Empire are really rich, if he snatches everything on your body and presents it to the master, he will definitely be very happy, maybe he can give some good elixir." , let me quickly advance to the level of a third-level spirit beast, hehe. ”

"Hmph, it's just a stupid demon beast, I really think I'm terrible, see if I don't take out your demon pill today!" The Grand Commander also did not give up the slightest retort.

Hearing this, Yan Ji's dark blue eyes flashed fiercely, and with a scream, she rushed towards the Grand Commander, and grabbed down with one claw fiercely, trying to catch the hateful guy on the other side into several pieces.

The Grand Commander smiled coldly, the light flashed under his feet, his feet were weirdly wrong, and his body moved out like this, just brushing against the wolf's claws, without the slightest injury, and then, the thin sword in his hand stabbed towards Yan Ji's abdomen!

At the moment when the thin sword was about to stab Yan Ji's body, her entire wolf suddenly flashed with silver light, and the next second it disappeared in front of the Great Commander's eyes out of thin air, a sword pierced the air, and the Great Commander knew that something was wrong, and the words of spatial supernatural power appeared in his mind, and the light flashed again under his feet, and the whole person almost ran to the side at a teleportation-like speed, and in just an instant, he had already run out of a distance of more than ten zhang, and at this time, Yan Ji's figure appeared in the position she had just occupied, if she didn't run, it would be right behind her!

Looking at the distant Grand Commander, Yan Ji's mouth let out a cold snort, and then his body flashed and chased over, and another paw slapped down, this time, the Great Commander was moving at high speed, and it was impossible to dodge this blow, but she was not afraid, the shield in her hand was pushed forward, the shield attack technique was launched, there was a boom, the energy ripples were fleeting, and the figure of the Great Commander flew upside down at a faster speed, and Yan Ji's huge figure paused in place.

After all, the Great Commander has a lot of actual combat experience, and this blow didn't cause her any damage, but she just made a few breaths to adjust it, and then, on her tiptoes, the god himself shot towards Yan Ji like a cannonball, and one man and one beast fought again.

••••••

Rongcheng, at this time, was already in a panic throughout the whole process, originally ordinary mortals and middle- and lower-level officers, courtiers, etc. were not qualified to know about the rebellion of the two families, but the Shang Emperor lost his mind in a rage, and even went to destroy the two families with great fanfare, and stupidly posted the imperial list, but the result was that the people were panicked, and the direct consequence was that a large number of panicked people wanted to flee out of the city, but the court was afraid of letting the spies out and took bloody measures to stop it, in the end, Those ordinary people only stayed at home all day trembling, not daring to go out, and a capital city of Nuoda became even more depressed than a county town.

On the Jinluan Palace, the Shang Emperor heard one frustrating news after another, and his heart was even more irritable, and now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak, for fear that one would accidentally provoke this lord and kill him at once.

Emperor Shang vented for a while, finally felt a little more comfortable, and looked at the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu below and said, "You say." What should we do now? ”

When the ministers heard this, they were silent for a while, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, and said in their hearts: "How can we do it now, the Meng and Shang families are really too ruthless, not only have their own people basically withdrawn, but they also instigated the only three powerhouses of the life and death realm in the worship hall to leave, and now your Yin family only has two powerhouses who have a first glimpse of the life and death realm, and they can't compare with the Linghua Sect at all." ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Shang's anger suddenly jumped up again, and shouted angrily: "What's wrong with all of you, aren't you all boastful and hesitant on weekdays, why is it that now that the real thing is coming, you have all become dumb, talking, talking!" ”

Emperor Shang stared at everyone for a while, and when he saw that there was still no one to speak, he shouted angrily: "Long Tingxuan, you don't have the most idea, now you come and talk about it, what should we do!?" ”

Seeing that the emperor had called him, the right prime minister felt bitter in his heart, and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in the current situation, we can only negotiate with Ling Huazong, maybe ••••••"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the roar of the Shang Emperor: "Stop! You are also the prime minister of one time, how can you come up with such an idea, you are also the same as Meng and Shang from time to time, but it's the opposite? ”

Long Tingxuan didn't panic when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, if the Southern Regions are still there, you suspect that my Long family still has a point, but now that the Southern Regions are gone, where can my Long family go, besides, now everyone in my Long family is still honestly at home." ”

Emperor Shang also suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, sat down in a daze, sighed and said, "You retreat, military department, how many troops do we have now?" ”

The new secretary of the military department came out and said: "Your Majesty, now our regular strength is only a few hundred thousand, and now the morale of the army is fluctuating, almost every day there are officers and soldiers fleeing or evading in different ways, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will have no soldiers to send." ”

Emperor Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said: "How can it be so serious, it stands to reason that the rest are warriors who are absolutely loyal to my Great Shang." ”

The military department Shangshu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know who stabbed out the fact that our five ancestors of the Life and Death Realm went to Linghuazong to be captured, and the imperial court refused to redeem people, and also exaggerated it in a big way, and now the imperial court has become a ruthless and unrighteous villain in the eyes of ordinary soldiers and ordinary people." ”

When Emperor Shang heard this, he immediately became angry again, and shouted loudly: "Is that because we are unwilling to redeem people, that is because Ling Huazong is too despicable and shameless, and almost drains our treasury, even if we redeem people, we will not be able to stop their attacks at all, who understands these things, who is there to bewitch the people, we must find him out, Ling Chi will be executed!" ”

At this moment, a messenger hurriedly ran up to the palace and said, "Your Majesty, something big has happened at the West City Gate!" ”

••••••

Ruijin City, Cuizhu City has been strong on both sides, ready to attack the inner acropolis in two ways, these twenty-one acropolis are said to be guarded by the diehard loyalty of the Shang royal family, it is absolutely impossible to want them to surrender, but there is a little benefit, that is, these twenty-one percent of the defenders are usually arrogant and accustomed, and the relationship with the ordinary merchant army can be said to be very bad, and even have grudges, when it comes to attacking them, those surrendered merchant soldiers are actually excited.

Seeing that the millions of troops were ready, Fang Lin stood at the forefront of the army and said expressionlessly: "Soldiers, now is the final decisive battle between us and the Shang Imperial Court, Rongcheng is in front of us, as long as it is taken, we will end this war, when the time comes, everyone will have merit and reward, my Linghua Sect will never treat anyone who works for the sect!" ”

Roar, roar, roar! The two million army roared in unison, the momentum could be said to be earth-shattering, Fang Lin waved his hand, and the army surged towards Qunying Town.

Qunying Town was still the same as when Fang Lin and the others came to participate in the competition, but the city was full of murderous aura, rows and columns of sergeants stood neatly above the city, and everyone's eyes were cold with killing intent.

Routinely shouted a few words of persuasion, seeing that the other party did not react at all, Fang Lin was no longer verbose, and waved his hand and shouted: "Siege!" ”

Boom, boom, the roar of the catapult rang out, and a large piece of rune stone smashed towards the city wall, blocked by the large array of light outside, and exploded the sky full of sparks on the light mask, and those sparks did not dissipate, but were attached to the light mask of the large array, and burned like this, one point, two points, ten points, twenty points, one hundred points, one thousand points••••••

It was only ten breaths of time, and the light of the city protection array began to flicker and flicker, which made the merchant troops at the head of the city suspicious for a while, but they did not panic, probably because they had already held the mentality of death.

After another two breaths, a crisp clicking sound came, followed by a dense click, and a wry smile appeared on the faces of the city guards of Qunying Town, who thought that they could support the city protection array for at least three days, but in front of Ling Huajun, they didn't even hold on to twenty breaths before they collapsed, and they just launched a round of attacks.

The castle guard's eyes froze, and he drew his sword and shouted, "Attack!" Fight with Linghua Army! ”

As soon as he said this, the 200,000 sergeants on the head of the city suddenly roared as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and at the same time, the city gate opened with a rattle, and a large number of sergeants rushed out of it in black pressure, and the high-level management sergeants flew directly down from the city, roaring and rushing towards the Linghua army.

Fang Lin and the others were all stunned when they saw this scene, and Princess Xiangxiang asked strangely, "Why did they give up the advantage of the city wall and use large equipment to cause damage to us, and instead launched a counter-charge against us?" ”

Fang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but now is not the time to discuss this, as long as they are all eliminated, it doesn't matter what the conspiracy is." ”

After speaking, Fang Lin's staff pointed forward and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Suddenly, the strength of several times that of the merchant army poured towards those soldiers who were not afraid of death, but in an instant, those merchant troops were drowned in the vast sea of people, and the screams continued to sound, and blood flowers appeared in the air one after another, until they really fought these ordinary and high-ranking merchant armies did not know that their combat power was not comparable to the Linghua army at all.

It's just an hour before the battle ended, Fang Lin and the others didn't even make a move, the battle in the sky ended faster, after all, cultivating to the highest city guard in front of the powerhouse of the life and death realm was a matter of one or two moves.

When everyone came to the city, they couldn't help but be stunned, Qu Shan'er shouted: "No wonder they don't use catapults and charms, it turns out that they don't have these things at all, what to throw!" ”

"That's not right, you must know that these troops are absolutely loyal, and it stands to reason that they should be the best, but why is it like this!" White Lotus Road.

Fang Lin frowned and was silent, just then the scout came to report, saying that Gao Xuan's side had also laid down a city, the situation was similar to their side, and the city was also empty, only those loyal soldiers fought for their lives.

Fang Lin was even more puzzled, the Shang Imperial Court would not be poor to this extent, just as Fang Lin was pondering, another scout came to report, saying that the other nineteen cities had become empty cities one after another, and there was not even a single soldier, that is to say, the roadblocks in front of Ling Hua's army had been removed by the other party on their own initiative!

"What is Shang Guo going to do, is it to gather troops and fight to the death with us?" Li Haoran muttered to himself.

"This should be the greatest possibility, after all, if they defend the nineteen cities separately, their armies will definitely be broken by us one by one, it is better to concentrate them all, plus their current army, there should be four or five million, enough to fight with us for a while." Fang Lin Road.

"Then why don't the armies of these two cities withdraw?" Dongfang Lei was a little puzzled.

"Time, buy precious time for the safe evacuation of their other troops, otherwise, if we harass, they will be able to withdraw much fewer troops, and most of the supplies they transported will be left behind, hey, 400,000 lives, just for such an hour." Dongfang Tianxiao shook his head and sighed.

"Then what do we do, chase?" Ayinata asked.

Li Haoran shook his head and said, "We can't catch up, we're still ready to ••••••"

"Report~~~~" A long report from the scout interrupted what Li Haoran was about to say.
