Looking down from the sky above the Snake City, I saw thick smoke billowing from all over the city, and the flames were soaring into the sky. The defenders of the city scattered and fled, and few sergeants dared to stand up and confront the overwhelming Nine Shadows Army.

The cannonballs dropped by the air cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom roared furiously in the streets and alleys of the city, making a cracked ear sound. The fire was dazzling everywhere, like a whirlpool of huge waves, like a hot wind and air waves, blasting on the earth and rocks, trembling and shaking the earth.

Zhu Hai, who fought all the way into the city, led more than a dozen cavalry to move forward, rampage through the city, slaughtering the enemies who dared to resist stubbornly.

The terrible screams, the heart-rending cries of pain, cruelly pierced the eardrums of the inhabitants of the city, and frightened them to hide in their homes with the doors and windows locked and shiver.

Fortunately, although the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom is very fierce, it does not kill those who give up resistance, so as long as the ghost people in the city do not oppose them, they will not wave their butcher knives at the ghost people.

Under the splash of blood and fire, it didn't take long for Zhu Hai to reach the outside of the Black Tooth Palace, deep in the city.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a royal palace, but it is a huge walled fort.

The whole walled fort is rectangular in shape, and the four walls are made of lime and blue bricks. Although the wall has undergone thousands of years of vicissitudes, it is still not unusually strong. The fort was surrounded by a moat five feet wide, and only in front of the only gate on the south side was that one could be lifted through the moat.

At this moment, most of the black-toothed ghost soldiers scattered and fleeing in the city had poured into the fort. As the drawbridge was raised, many of the Blacktooth soldiers who had not yet fled into the fort had to stand by the moat, staring desperately at the high wall that was close at hand.

Zhu Hai led the cavalry to force over, shouting in his mouth: "Those who lay down their arms will be spared death, and those who resist will not be forgiven!"

His loud and powerful shouts echoed through the noise.

The black-toothed ghost soldiers crowded by the moat of the walled fort were slightly stunned, and then they all looked back, only to see that the fierce and vicious cavalry of the Nine Shadows Kingdom did stop seven or eight feet away from them, and after they did not advance any further, they looked at each other, and doubts and confusion gradually appeared on their faces.

Can you really stay alive by laying down your arms?

While they were considering, Zhu Hai raised his eyes to look at the walled fort in the distance and observed it carefully.

I saw that the design of the walled fort was closely linked, with a main building in the middle and four turrets on the four sides of the main building as the main axis, and there was a lookout in the middle of the east and west city walls, which were connected by walls.

Zhu Hai was sure that there were bed crossbows and flint cannons aimed at him on those turrets. It's just that they were frightened by the Nine Shadows Army, so the black-toothed ghost soldiers stationed in it never dared to fire, let alone fight to the death with the sharp Nine Shadows Army.

Except for the south gate, the walled fort surrounded by high walls does not have any entrances and exits, and it seems that it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But for the Nine Shadows Army, the high and thick walls of this walled fortress could not stop the fierce artillery fire of the Nine Shadows Kingdom at all. Zhu Hai is not worried.

Outside the walled fort, the black-toothed ghost soldiers who had been thinking about it for a long time gradually put down their weapons and began to unload their armor.

At first, only one or two Blacktooth Ghost soldiers did this, but gradually a dozen more soldiers laid down their weapons. In less than a moment, all the sergeants put down their weapons and began to unload their armor.

"Very good, those who surrender can avoid death, and the garrison in the walled fort will be killed due to stubborn resistance, and no one will be left. Zhu Hai sneered, and the hammer in his hand swung forward, pointing directly at the solid walled fortress......

Outside the city of Ganyuan, there is a diamond-shaped lake shore on the Ganyuan Lake, where light smoke blows, and the breeze is coming.

The water waves in the calm Ganyuan Lake are clear, like a shining flat mirror. The gentle breeze blows across the lake, and the water suddenly shines on the surface of the lake in the cloudy sun.

On the south shore of Ganyuan Lake, which is built by the lake, the streets and alleys in the city are winding and quiet, and the stone walls are scattered.

Under the wind blowing from the lake, the flower flag of the other side is swaying and hula, and the flower pattern embroidered on the flag is swaying with the wind, vivid.

A day ago, the menacing Jiuyou National Army, taking advantage of the night, sent the flying army and air cavalry to rush into the city from above, and quickly solved all the guards on the city wall, and after the guards in charge of vigilance, they swaggered and opened the city gate to put the Jiuyou National Army into the city.

Just after midnight, most of the defenders in the city were either captured or beheaded. By the time the day dawned, the city was already full of flower flags from the other side of the Nine Shadows Country, and the city walls and streets in the city, as well as the docks outside the city, were also full of the Nine Shadows Army.

Before the corpse soul army in Ganyuan City could fully react, Wanxiu City had already fallen. The gateway of Ganyuan City was wide open, and it appeared in front of the eyes of the Nine Ghost Army.

Xiao Shizhu, who has a leisurely and elegant demeanor, strode up to the gatehouse of the North City Gate, and overlooked the Ganyuan Lake in front of him by the railing.

The lake breeze came to his face, blowing his robe, and his thoughts surged like blue waves on the shore with the wind. Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but think of many years ago, when he was still the little Hades King of a country, when he was outside Shizhu City, he often looked at the city in the lake from the shore like today.

It's just that this is not what it used to be, at this moment he is already a great prince of the underworld with heavy troops in his hands, with a vast land under his rule and strong soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can completely compete with the Beiyin Dynasty, which has ruled the underworld for thousands of years.

Along the way, he has experienced countless deaths in his betrayal and rebellion, and he has relied on many loyal people to get to where he is today. But now he is no longer a little ghost who is allowed to be slaughtered and oppressed by his ghosts! The Hades Kings in Dongyi Continent can't, and neither can the Hades Kings in other continents, not even the Emperor Xudu!

"I can control my own destiny, it turns out to be such a cool feeling!" Xiao Shizhu thought like this, his chest was suddenly full of pride.

"My lord. As Xiao Shizhu's ghost general Ying Lingxing who attacked this city strode over, stood beside him and saluted, and said: "Good news, General Yurong has fully stabilized the ten cities west of Wenyuan Valley, and General Zhu Hai conquered Snake City, the capital of the Black Tooth Kingdom, and beheaded the Black Tooth King in the city. ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he looked ahead from beginning to end, but there was only a trace of excitement in his eyes, and after a flash of excitement, he regained his calm again.

The Black Tooth Country was not to be feared, Xiao Shizhu had never taken those Black Tooth ghost soldiers who were still fighting with bronze forged knives, guns and bows and crossbows in his eyes. If he had had been filled with soldiers and horses, the Black Tooth Kingdom would have been destroyed a few months ago.

What is difficult to deal with is the Ganyuan City in the distance in front of you, which is located on the island in the middle of the lake.

There are many ghost cannons provided by the Emperor Xudu in the city, as well as hundreds of thousands of corpse soul troops and thousands of warships.

Xiao Shizhu wanted an air attack, and once again used the Flying Thunder Car and Xiancha to strike from the air. But he has a small amount of empty grass in his hands, and it is being transferred, which is why he has not entered the army for a long time.

"Lord Hu Hui also sent troops to capture the poor mulberry city and the five-color city around Ganyuan City. After General Xuanshui's cavalry rested for a while, they would continue to march eastward to the north entrance of Fengming Valley. Ying Lingxing, who paused, said again.

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and asked slowly: "What about the monk?"

"It's still the same, silent, and still unwilling to reveal the location of the armory in Ganyuan City. Ying Lingxing said this, and a faint look of anger appeared on his face.

"I'll take a look. With this, Xiao Shizhu retracted his gaze and turned around and walked downstairs.

Walking in the city, I saw that the city was peaceful. Every household can live a normal life, and the shops in the city are also open as usual. It's just that those ghost people who were born as corpses and souls will still be a little afraid when they see Xiao Shizhu.

Although they were afraid, because the Nine Shadows Army did not kill any innocent people indiscriminately, they did not have any hatred for them. It's just that he always feels a little afraid of Xiao Shizhu and the guards who follow him.

After walking for a long time, after coming to the palace in the city, Xiao Shizhu went straight to the back of the back hall. After a few more moments, he came to the backyard, in front of the only house with a closed gate guarded by guards, and stood still outside the door.

"My lord. The guard sergeant hurriedly bowed his head and saluted him.

"Open the door. Xiao Shizhu said lightly.

One of the sergeants answered, and without asking for any reason, removed the key from his waist, opened the brass lock on the door, and pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, the cloudy sunlight shone into the room, where the windows were closed, and the room suddenly became bright. Xiao Shizhu didn't take a step forward, but just looked into the room.

I saw an old human soul, handcuffed and shackled, sitting cross-legged on the middle of the bed in the depths of the room. The soul with its eyes slightly closed, the top of its head was bare and without the slightest hair, and only a few conspicuous stammers were left on the top of it.

This ghost is the clear space.

After learning of the invasion of the Nine Ghost Army, he transferred him to guard Wanxiu City. It's just that I didn't expect that Xiao Shizhu, who was still dozens of miles away from Wanxiu City and had never had any signs of marching, would be airborne in Wanxiu City within a few hours.

By the time the clear space reacted and the other party used the same tactics as the air raid on the large and small lonely cities, he himself had already become a prisoner of war in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Xiao Shizhu cherishes talents and loves talents, and after learning that the monk in front of him is the chief strategist of the extravagant corpse in the past, and now he is the right-hand man of extravagant hope, many strategies and strategies, including using the advantages of the skeleton beast and the corpse soul, to use the skeleton beast cavalry to hit the city wall of Manjiang City, all of which were planned by this bald donkey, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he decided to leave this ghost behind.

It's just that since this ghost became his captive, he has put on an unyielding attitude of preferring to die, not eating, drinking, and not speaking.

"Master Clearance. Xiao Shizhu, who stopped for a moment, walked slowly into the house with Ying Lingxing, stood in front of the bed, stared at this old ghost with his eyes closed, and slowly spoke: "Xiao admires smart people the most in his life, you are a smart person, your skeleton beast array almost killed me in Dongyi Continent, I admire your strategy and wisdom, why don't you join my Nine Shadows Kingdom and be my right-hand man, how about it?"

The tone is gentle, and the speed of speech is not hurried.

After closing his eyes and recuperating in the clear space, he slowly cast a contemptuous glance at Xiao Shizhu, and finally replied lightly: "Horses, dogs, cats and other beasts still don't serve the second master, let alone people? ”。

This is the first time he has spoken since he was captured, but he didn't expect that if he didn't open his mouth, he would say that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be sarcastic about Xiao Shizhu, so that Ying Lingxing, who was standing on the side, was angry and angry from his heart. When his right hand involuntarily pressed the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist, he shouted angrily: "You bald donkey is so ignorant of current affairs, I think you are looking for death!"

Xiao Shizhu was not angry when he heard this, but immediately raised his hand to stop Ying Lingxing from drawing his sword, and laughed loudly.

"Master Jingkong would rather die than give in, which makes me admire even more. But yes, you've said so much, but you've only said two things right. After a long time, Xiao Shizhu kept his laughter, and with a smile on his face, he said bluntly: "I am indeed from a dog prison, and I am also good at cheating." ”。
