Chapter 908: A Magnificent New Year (8)
Indeed, just like Gongsun Yi said, after he returned to the Eastern Continent, he has been secretly assisting the demons in various infiltrations of the Ming Empire. Not only did he replace his personal guards, but even some of his ministers were assassinated and impersonated as stand-ins, but he also deliberately adopted a policy of accepting fugitive refugees to cooperate with the infiltration of demonic spies, and used the opportunity to recruit soldiers to arrange these bat's wings disguised as humans in the army.
Of course, the soldiers who attacked Sophia's convoy before were all authentic humans. After all, if it is discovered that the attacker is a demon, it will have a serious counterproductive effect on Gongsun Yi's plan to sow discord between the Ming Empire and the Western Continent Alliance, and the two sides will cooperate immediately after realizing that this is a trick by bat wings, but at least there will be no more hostility towards each other - Gongsun Yi naturally does not want to see this kind of thing happen.
Perhaps because the humans were too incompetent, or because the alliance had prepared in advance because they had guessed that there would be an attack, Sophia's convoy finally arrived safely at Gongsun Yi's temporary palace. The emperor knew very well what the alliance was planning to do this time, and he also knew that there were already some people in the country who were more brainy and suspicious of what he had done, and Gongsun Yi originally wanted to divert attention by creating an incident for the alliance ambassadors, preferably to cause a fierce conflict between the two sides, but the plan failed in the end, so he had to make another plan.
For example, put away the large nets that have been arranged in advance.
Although it was true that the portal was damaged by Elicia, the demon's army was still very strong and powerful. They also have two strategic-level monsters and countless curiosity crawlers. Enough to deal a devastating blow to the Ming army and adventurers. However, if the Ming Empire and the Alliance work together, the situation will become a little delicate, and the final outcome is still uncertain, coupled with the beautiful blonde girl who has been through a lot of battles and ruthless old demons will also run away in tears in the sunset on the spot.
Dolbe, who finally learned the most confidential news from Ulrik that the emperor of the Ming Empire was his own, was full of excitement and excitement in his heart. But he is also very sober and calm. After consulting with Hannah, the demon made a plan to cause a conflict between the Ming Empire and the Alliance, and they waited for the opportunity to reap the benefits, and handed it over to Gongsun Yi to implement, but unfortunately it did not come to fruition. In order to prevent the Ming Empire from cooperating with the alliance after deposing Gongsun Yi and then becoming a big deal, the demon could only launch a general attack on both sides in advance.
This is also the reason why the arrogant Gongsun Yi said that he would close the net in advance.
The demons hidden in Baoqing City were not the tragic brainwashed people that Hannah had arranged to infiltrate earlier, and although the last city-wide commotion caused all kinds of uproar, they continued to lurk indifferently. It wasn't until today that they jumped out. In the hall of the temporary palace, the civil and military officials were panicking, and they had not yet found a safe place to hide, such as when the chickens and dogs were still jumping like headless flies behind the screen under the table, a large number of explosions had already sounded in the distance, and the skyrocketing fires could be seen from afar.
Sophia has a million reasons to believe. This is definitely not the unique fireworks set off in Baoqing City to celebrate the New Year.
Not only that, but many of the guards in the mansion also broke their disguises, stretched their bat wings and began to wreak havoc in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the courtyard was in a mess. Besides. The demons also summoned many curious crawlers to fight for them. The confusion caused was further exacerbated.
Humans, as well as other races in Drowlivan, will mostly adopt crowd tactics when dealing with demons, using their numerical superiority to grind each other's elite masters to death. However, in this situation, the Ming army's troops were divided in various ways, and they were completely forced to fight on their own, and they were completely unable to form a numerical superiority. The victory of the Ming army was completely wiped out by Gongsun Yi from the beginning.
Lin Feiyun was still angrily questioning Gongsun Yi over there, but Sophia couldn't care about these anymore. She hurriedly pulled out a crystal ball from the small decorative satchel she had tied around her waist, and hurriedly connected to the adventurer's camp.
"Hello, this is the adventurer's camp. "A blonde girl with beautiful two-colored eyes appeared in the magical image. Wearing an emerald green Bavarian princess dress, she looks very cute. "Ah, Sister Sophia. Aren't you supposed to be on an envoy, why did you send a contact all of a sudden?"
Strange, isn't the person who is usually responsible for receiving the communication Poison Island Tsuko, right? Sophia patted her cheek and threw the distracting thoughts out of her mind, looked at the girl in front of her, and said eagerly: "Imrise, hurry up and call your sister." Her guess was right, Gongsun Yi, the emperor of the Ming Empire, really colluded with the devil. That guy has hidden a lot of demons in Baoqing City, and he is currently wreaking havoc everywhere. β
"Hey, is that so!?" Ise thought the fireworks were celebratory fireworks. The little girl's eyes widened with astonishment and said, "Ise knows, let's go and call my sister!"
What kind of confusion do you have to be to see a big explosion of that magnitude just now as a holiday firework? Usually because you have too much contact with Michelle, you are occasionally confused to the extent that you are naturally infected!?The pink princess watched Imriss leave the camera in a hurry, and she couldn't say a word for a while.
At this time, Gongsun Yi had already ended the conversation with Lin Feiyun with a little impatience, and he snapped his fingers casually, and the demons around him couldn't wait to let out a piercing roar and rush towards everyone with their teeth and claws, causing countless screams and chaos.
Sophia didn't bring any escorts with her on this trip, only Grana was by her side as always, so the guards of the pink princess who sent to the Ming Empire were actually composed of masters selected by Leonard from among the adventurers and mercenaries, rather than the official soldiers of the Roland Empire.
Brooke, who had survived the terrifying forbidden spell of the Ice Hell of the Desperate Dead and perfectly illustrated what it means to be an undead powerhouse, and his second-in-command, Pirka, were honored (or unfortunate?) to be selected.
The uncle shouted loudly and stood in front of the team without hesitation, and the machete in his hand danced vigorously. Mustered up his fighting spirit and smashed it on the head of the green-skinned demon who rushed forward. Listening to the heavy metal impact sound of "Bang Dang", the originally menacing bat wings decisively immediately hit the street on the spot with their faces touching the ground, and fainted with a slight twitch.
Apparently. This demon is used to bullying soldiers in the Eastern Continent who are not good at close combat, and he is so oblivious that he wants to use the same method to deal with the soldiers of the Western Continent, and then ...... There is no then.
After cutting off the head of this stupid goose with the murder weapon in his hand very bloody and violent, Brooke, who successfully killed the demon of the same level, stretched out his middle finger with a look of contempt for the demons who were collectively stunned behind: "It turns out that the demon's IQ is not even as good as a circle of nine, and he actually rushed straight up without turning or even doing protection?" If you are all like this, then I can proudly say this-Lao Tzu can fight ten!"
The guards who were still a little nervous by Sophia's side immediately laughed in unison when they saw this.
The faces of the batwing people were very ugly, but through the live broadcast of Locklip's camera team, the people of the Western Continent who were surrounding the crystal screen and paying attention to the situation at the scene were full of enthusiasm and pride. Many people couldn't help but let out a high shout.
After a series of victories against demons led by the alliance led by Elicia, it became clear to everyone that these powerful batwings were not invincible. I may indeed be inferior to them in personal strength, but. But there is no need to fear each other, because even demons can be hurt, they can get the same lunch, and they will fail. Therefore, even an ordinary peasant on the Western Continent dared to point to the nose of the bat's wings and say it to them. Our alliance will surely defeat you in the end.
This is simply an incredible thing for the people of the Ming Empire. Lin Feiyun's eyes were straight when he looked at Brooke and the others.
"Be careful, these are people from the Western Continent, they are not as easy to bully as the soft egg soldiers of the Ming Empire. A strong demon with half of the horn on his head severed calmly reminded his companions, "Alysia didn't come in person, but it saves us a lot of effort, as long as we capture this princess of the empire, we can use her as a hostage." Spread out, we must not let her escape!"
In fact, even if Sophia wanted to escape, she couldn't get out, and the Ming army guards in the courtyard had long since collapsed, and there were low-level monsters crawling everywhere and demons ruthlessly searching for and annihilating humans. There is not the slightest retreat. Unless the Pink Princess uses a teleportation scroll, it is impossible to get out of it all at all.
But you can't keep it all at once. In order to prevent the recurrence of the last time Elysia escaped from the siege of the army with a teleportation scroll, the demon specially arranged for a mage to interfere with the spatial teleportation in Baoqing City today.
The demons in the hall fought fiercely with the guards composed of Uncle Brooke and the others, but they still divided two people to clean up the trembling Ming Empire officials. These elites were the last hope for the crumbling empire, and as long as they were built and working together, the Ming Empire, whose emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, could continue to hold on. Maybe it's ten years, maybe it's just three or five years, but in the end it will be destroyed by the devil.
However, under the aggressiveness of the Western Continent Alliance, the batwings couldn't wait that long. There is even a possibility that the situation will change because it has been too long.
Do you want to save people? This idea was only passed in Sophia's mind for a moment before it was rejected, because she couldn't even protect herself with the combat power she had on hand now, so how could she help others?
To Sophia's great consternation, Granna, who had been guarding her, suddenly left the pink princess and left the team alone, trying to stop the two demons who pounced on the officials of the Ming Empire.
"Wait, Granna!?" Sophia almost lost the folding fan in her hand, and shouted anxiously, "Are you crazy?
Several demons surrounded the crowd rushed over to try to stop Granna, but the thief girl's figure turned into an elusive ghost as soon as she got closer, leaving a trail of afterimages and several stunned muscular men walking away.
A fiery red figure shot out of the stabs, blocking Granna's front and making her stop, it was the Broken Horn Demon who had spoken earlier to remind her companions of her experience. Although he has a strong physique, he is quite agile in his movements, and Grana tried to bypass him several times, but was unceremoniously stopped by the other party.
Lin Feiyun and a few soldiers who had not been replaced stood guard in front of the many officials who were in shock. However, these soldiers were only armed with rifles, which was not conducive to melee combat at all, and it was estimated that they would be sent flying by the two demons that pounced on them with just one shot; He, like Wei Chimu, is a wise general, and his personal strength is not outstanding.
Wei Chimu, who was hiding in the guards, was also in a hurry, but he didn't rush out. Now that he was a military attache in the Birea Empire, his allegiance was to Alicia rather than the Ming Empire, and the young general had more important things to do than to rescue them, and that was to protect Sophia according to the little queen's orders.
Several rifles were desperately spitting tongues of fire, but they still couldn't stop the two demons in their advance. The premonition of death entangled everyone like a giant python. It was very difficult for them to breathe. However, just when everything was about to despair, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the rear of the Ming Empire's official ranks, and even the dust on the beams of the house was shaken down.
The fiery pillar of brilliant light pierced through the demon's head on the left with an unstoppable force. The headless body continued to run forward for two more steps, and finally fell to the ground with a heavy fall.
"Remember. When the stunned crowd looked back in amazement, a blonde girl in a Scottish-style hunter's skirt nodded indifferently at the Ming soldiers in the front row with a smile like a spring breeze, "Next time you deal with demons, at least prepare a gun of the same caliber as the one in my hand." β
Senpai. So you're a legendary firepower supremacist......
Seeing this, Sophia suddenly thought of something: "Ugh. Asami, why are you here? Could it be that Alysia's dead girl disguised herself as someone and came with us!?"
Before the words fell, the crystal ball in the pink princess's hand sounded Elicia's unique sweet voice, but the tone sounded a little unpleasant: "Hey, hey, did you deliberately let little Ise call me here just so that I could listen to you scold?"
"Ah, it actually appeared. β
"What are you going to do with this surprised expression on your face!?" said Alysia in the video, looking very distressed, and said with a frantic face, "Is it really so strange that I am in charge of the camp at a time when the demon may act at any time!?"
The pink princess immediately nodded vigorously without hesitation: "It's really unusual!, because in this case, you usually throw the command to others casually, and then take your friends to sneak around to the rear to stab the enemy's chrysanthemum." Honestly sitting in the rear and strategizing or something, it has nothing to do with you at all. β
"Poof!" Imrise, who was beside Elysia, couldn't help but squirt lightly when she heard this. Then he said decisively and solemnly, "I'm sorry, sister. Ace seems to have eaten a little too much turnip this morning. β
"Little Eath, we ate carrots this morning, okay......" The blonde girl, who only felt five thunders, couldn't help but hold her forehead weakly.
"Enough of you two, His Highness Locklip's camera is still on. Sophia slapped the folding fan in her hand with a smile, "Alicia, according to Gongsun Yi, the demons are using their spatial teleportation technology to quickly rush in the direction of Baoqing City, and the city is in chaos again, what should we do now?"
Alicia took a deep breath and raised her hand, "Calm down, Sophia." Things are not completely out of control, so don't mess with yourself. I'll figure it out on the demon army's side, and you just need to take care of things in the city. Don't worry, it's not just these Batwings people in the city, but also our Alliance's people. Senior Sister Poison Island, Elijah, Li Huayin, and Purple Night, many of their friends who have oriental blood or look like people from the Eastern Continent are near you, and I will also send 10,000 adventurers who are waiting outside the city into the city, so make good use of them. β
"In this case, you are still planning to send troops into the city!, what about the demon army?"
"Of course, otherwise, with just such a few people, you won't be able to help the Ming Empire control the situation. Alicia raised her index finger and shook it lightly, "And I said that the demon army is up to us, so don't worry about it." β
"Find a way...... You're talking lightly, it's a massive force that even our coalition forces have to work hard to deal with!"
Sophia wanted to continue to say something, but not far away, the Broken Horn Demon, who was fighting fiercely with Granna, finally accidentally stabbed her right arm by the thief girl, so she had to take several steps back: "Woo, I didn't expect that I would be injured by humans." No, since the opponent is the people of the Western Continent Alliance, this should not be surprising. There is no way, it can only be like this. β
As he spoke, the demon muttered a spell and cast a summoning spell, and from the magic circle in front of him, a huge black and red black widow spider with a round body emerged.
Something happened that made everyone scramble to find glasses - the girl who was still mighty, handsome, and heroic and fought to defeat the demon suddenly showed a frightened expression on her face, and fled to Sophia's side with tears in her eyes and cried loudly.
"Spiders are the most annoyingββ!!" (To be continued......)
