Chapter 1227: Arms Race
At noon the next day, Tang Yan and his entourage bid farewell to the Yaochi Holy Land and embarked on the northbound journey with the reluctant Moon Shadow and Eliinda.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi is also full of unbearable, from adoption to now, it has been thirty-nine years in the blink of an eye, it is Mu Rou who she raised with her own hands, she has placed all her expectations, treating her as her own daughter, and suddenly she wants to hand over her fate to others, and her heart is a little awkward after all. What's more, the top and bottom of Yaochi, especially the women above the elders, are all very disgusted with men, and the saint is no exception!
The ancestor of Yan Guo thought about it quite openly, and handed over Yan Yuhan to Tang Yan, and he was 'nine points' at ease. After all, the nature of the former 'Yan Yuhan' was a ruthless and resolute type, suitable for the palace struggle of the conspiracy trajectory, and more suitable for the war-torn frontier battlefield, but for various reasons, now the real Yan Yuhan has returned to seclusion and replaced by a new Eliinda, in order to make them integrate faster and better, achieve perfect integration, and reproduce the heroic appearance of the Taifu of Yan Guo back then, the more cruel the environment, the more favorable. What's more, the Central Plains may be involved in a national war, a real imperial war.
He was a little excited when he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to rush over and feel it.
The only 'one point' that is not at ease is that he is worried that Elinda, who has been forged by Tang Yan, will grow into an irretrievable existence of the Yan Kingdom.
"Little Luoluo, try to keep your speed as fast as possible, we will reach the southern border of the Star Luo Empire within six days. After entering the Star Luo Empire, they should arrange someone to receive them. Tang Yan was worried about the situation in the Central Plains and was eager to know the latest developments. is even more worried about Boss Ma's feelings, for fear that they will not be able to suppress their anger and make radical moves.
Although he can't help much, the joining of the nine demi-saints, including Luo Hu, is enough to greatly relieve the pressure on the western frontier and give a shot in the arm to the Xingluo Xijiang, which is in a tense state. And after the battle of the Yaochi Holy Land, the Heavenly Punishment Array severely damaged the frost monsters and successfully experimented, which also gave them a lot of confidence.
"Well, voila. Rahu had been in a state of excitement, eager to rush to the battlefield and turn him upside down.
"Moon Shadow, that's your sister Mu Rou. Tang Yan whispered to Moon Shadow. "I'll give you a little task, she's been in a bad mood lately, go over and coax her. ”
It may be that they have the same temperament, they are both innocent and friendly types, Moon Shadow usually doesn't like to be close to others, but today she walked to Mu Rou's side very well-behaved, and called out sweetly: "Hello sister, my name is Moon Shadow, please give me a lot of advice." ”
Mu Rou was a little flustered, and quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "You...... Hello, I'm Mu Rou......"
"Hee-hee, laugh one. Moon Shadow was innocent and joyful, grinning, and her two big eyes were crescents, which was very cute, as if adding color to the surrounding space.
Mu Rou couldn't help but relax and showed a shallow smile. She is kind and friendly to others, and she can feel the innocence of Moon Shadow, so she naturally feels close. Subconsciously quietly glanced at Tang Yan not far away, Tang Yan gave her a reassuring smile, Niya and the others smiled kindly, Mu Rou's heart warmed, and her eyes were slightly hazy.
"Sister, laugh at one, my brother said to be happy every day. ”
"Hmm. Thank you. Mu Rou couldn't help but smile softly.
Moon Shadow clapped her hands happily and turned around and shouted, "Brother, she smiled." ”
Everyone present couldn't help but smile, what an innocent girl.
When Tang Yan and his entourage went north at full speed, the chaos in the Central Plains continued to heat up.
After the upheaval on March 9, first the Pure Land monks returned to the monasteries, and then the Hanlin monasteries of various countries remained silent, and the two holy places chose to retreat as if they knew that they were no longer able to control the situation, and it was as if they had compassionately recognized the imminent chaos in the Central Plains. Their renunciation and acquiescence have invisibly made the royal families of some kingdoms nervous and worried, and have exacerbated the pace of the chaos evolving.
The vastness of the Central Plains, the great powers of the nations, the intense attention to the development of the situation, the high tension of the Imperial War, and the secret acceleration of covert operations, all kinds of actions have contributed to the continuous fermentation of the chaos.
Nervousness, depression, and ironclad contention are exactly the most realistic and comprehensive summary of the situation in the Central Plains today!
On March 14, a special event roared like a hammer over the already chaotic Central Plains.
On the fifth day after the end of the upheaval, in the northeastern region outside the Holy Empire, the three kingdoms suddenly announced the formation of a strategic offensive and defensive alliance in a high-profile manner, although the real purpose of the alliance was not particularly clear, but in this sensitive period, in this chaotic situation, its intention was obvious - to prepare for the coming chaos in the Central Plains.
The alliance of the three kingdoms, the alliance of the three saints, and the powerful combination of tens of millions of troops suddenly twisted into a powerful force that could not be ignored, attracting the attention of all countries and the attention of the Holy Empire.
On March 15th, at noon, another earth-shattering event pushed the already turbulent situation to a new height - the Arashi Stone Kingdom and the Arbitration Kingdom, two powerful kingdoms joined the Great Qian Dynasty!
The Arashi Stone Kingdom and the Arbitration Kingdom are both powerful kingdoms located in the adjacent areas of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Xingluo Empire, and they can survive in the gap between the two empires, and their people are fierce and strong, which is enough to be recognized. The fact that they can suddenly join at such a critical moment is equivalent to adding two ferocious hounds to the giant chariot of the Great Qian Dynasty, and it will greatly increase the pressure on the border line of the northwest and southwest directions of the Xingluo Empire!
First, the three kingdoms joined forces to form an offensive and defensive alliance, and then the two kingdoms joined the empire and were willing to be the eagle dogs of the empire, and the attention of the five kingdoms immediately rose to a new height, and their series of actions seemed to guide the rest of the kingdoms that were in tension and panic.
Those kingdoms and forces eager to protect themselves and unwilling to go deep into the quagmire of war began to form alliances spontaneously, and countless fierce birds carried strategists from various countries to different countries, joining forces and horizontals, looking for allies and disintegrating the rest of the alliances, and those royal families who nourished the blood of war in their bones, and could see farther, longed for a larger vision, began to wait and see the changes, and quietly made a secret pact with an empire.
The reactions of the various kingdoms suddenly turned the already nervous Central Plains Continent into a place of disaster nurturing, as if countless fuses had appeared, and they clearly leaked out of everyone's sight. Once ignited, it is definitely a chain nature, and it also indicates that the chaos of the entire Central Plains will not move, and if it moves, it will be earth-shattering, and it may even reproduce the era of great destruction!
As the source of the disaster, the response of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Xingluo Empire was even more vigorous and intensive.
The Great Qian Dynasty first openly accepted the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Temple to move to the territory of the empire, and then issued a conscription order in the name of the imperial family, striving to form ten legions, with a total of eight million troops, as the general reserve for the imperial war. With such a number of acts and such acts, it seems that they are ready for a protracted war. The royal family even roamed around, persuading various neutral families and forces in the empire to step on the imperial chariot, and the various borders continued to send more legion troops, and even gathered a large number of secret weapons to the western frontier.
All the sages of the Xingluo Empire did their best to recuperate, and almost took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box, just to restore their eyesight in a short time, and the human emperor also temporarily retreated, and all state affairs were handed over to the crown prince Qin Minghuang!
In the name of 'revenge', a conscription boom was set off in the territory, and ten major legions were formed without concession!
In the name of 'revenge', mobilize major families and hidden forces to the battlefield to maintain the glory of the empire and protect the empire's territory!
During the military competition between the two countries, the crown prince Qin Minghuang secretly appeared in the Strike Kingdom, and single-handedly successfully brought about an alliance between the two countries! The Strike Kingdom is one of the three kingdoms in the adjacent regions of the two empires, and is known as the Arashi Stone Kingdom and the Arbitration Kingdom, and dominates one side with berserkers.
In fact, on the day when the two sides formed an alliance, the Daqian Dynasty was also trying its best to lobby the royal family of the kingdom, and how could it force the kingdom to offer an unacceptable price, which caused the Daqian to hesitate and send instructions to the Daqian royal family while appeasing him. However, Qin Minghuang's sudden appearance and ingenious means caused the Strike Kingdom to fall into the arms of the Star Luo Empire in just half a day.
The time was the second day after the two kingdoms of Arbitration and Arashi announced in a high-profile manner that they would join the arms of the Great Qian Dynasty, and staged a bloody drama of the Great Qian Envoy in the territory of the Powerful Attack Kingdom!
This incident is a miracle, and it is enough to go down in history forever.
Qin Minghuang's actions caused a sensation in the territory of the Xingluo Empire, which could be regarded as bringing back a little face for the empire, so that all the three kingdoms would not fall into the arms of the Great Qian Dynasty. Moreover, the deployment of the legions that was activated by the Strike Kingdom that night, and the old king 'King Mengtai' personally sat on the frontier, which led to the alliance of the legion defense front and the Xingluo Empire.
The two empires did their best to mobilize the forces at their disposal to keep the 'energy' of the storm's source growing. The other three empires are also gearing up to absorb power and make preparations, and each kingdom is also working hard in its own way in order to better survive the coming chaotic storm.
But at the critical juncture when the situation was about to get out of control, in the special period when the melee in the Central Plains was about to be unveiled, a sensational news exploded in the sky over the entire Central Plains Continent, and a big drama jointly directed by the three supreme holy places of the Pure Land, the Academy, and the Valley of the Wicked, poured cold water on the situation that continued to heat up in the entire Central Plains, woke up various kingdoms and empires, and attracted the attention of major hidden forces and forbidden places.
