It was getting dark, and night crept down again, and an unusual day passed.

At this time, the sound of fighting in the military camp not far away gradually weakened, and this massacre without suspense seemed to be coming to an end. And here, Mo Yuan and He Xing were still standing opposite each other, but at this time, He Xing seemed to have given up resistance and stood there silently, as if waiting for Mo Yuan to arbitrarily attack him.

At this time, whether the demon abyss was true or hypocritical, a kind smile appeared on his face. It was as if the person standing across from him was not his enemy, but his friend.

He took two steps forward and said to He Xing: "For more than ten years, this Xilu City has been taken care of by you, and your familiarity with this place is by no means comparable to others. If you stay here and go by yourself today, will you be able to put your mind at ease?"

"You didn't cause all this, what is the purpose of telling me this now?" He Xing said as he looked at Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan ignored He Xing's words and continued: "Ande doesn't seem to value the general too much, as soon as today's incident comes out, where should the general go in the future." In my opinion, you should stay and protect your Siru. ”

He Xing was stunned for a moment, didn't quite understand what Mo Yuan meant, and asked, "What do you mean by this, let me go with it?"

Mo Yuan smiled: "If the general doesn't dislike it, this Xilu City is still yours." I know that the general has lived here all his life, and his affection for this place is also very deep, and if you wish, I will still leave this place to you to manage. ”

"On this spiritual continent, how can you say such things, and why can you hand him over to me. He Xing seemed to be very disdainful of this.

Mo Yuan laughed at this time, looked up to the sky and said: "Just because I am the king of the demon clan, just because I want to occupy this place today and now." ”

He Xing was shocked in his heart, it turned out that the person in front of him was the current ruling king of the demon clan, no wonder he couldn't detect this person's actions. "Do you think it's reasonable for you to slaughter all the lieutenants and soldiers of our army now, and let me help you at this time?"

Mo Yuan continued: "If the general insists on disobeying, I'm afraid that more people will be ruined in this Xilu!"

He Xing was shocked again in his heart, and seemed to be a little hesitant, and after a while, he replied: "This matter is not a trivial matter, I want to think about it." ”

Mo Yuan turned around and said with a smile: "That's fine, you can go, if you think about it, you can come to Xilu to find me at any time, the people here are still waiting for you!"

He Xing looked at the Demon Abyss, and there was a complicated look in his eyes. "You let me go. Aren't you afraid that I won't come back?"

Mo Yuan took a step and walked towards the barracks, and at the same time said the last words to He Xing: "Until now, you will not have good fruit to eat anywhere, I firmly believe that I am your best choice." General He is also a smart man, he knows what I need, and he also knows what you need. ”

Watching Mo Yuan's figure drift away, He Xing stood in place and kept thinking. If he loses Xilu and loses his soldiers, if he returns to Lingdu intact and recovers his life, not to mention the shame for the time being, I am afraid that there is no guarantee for his future.

And on the side of Mo Yuan, he has just captured Xilu City, and there must be chaos inside, if he can't settle here as soon as possible, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will also be in trouble. He has served in Xilu for many years, and if he helps Moyuan, he will definitely restore order here as soon as possible. But if he doesn't help, for the sake of the overall situation, Mo Yuan will definitely adopt an iron-blooded policy and restore the normal operation of this place. Therefore, Mo Yuan made it clear just now that if He Xing does not know Xilu, I am afraid that more people will die because of this.

He Xing was now in a dilemma, he glanced in the direction of Xilu, sighed secretly, shook his head, and turned to the north.

Mo Yuan returned to the barracks, where the battle was over, and the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and counting the casualties. Mo Yuan didn't convey any orders, just shuttled through the crowd, busy with everyone.

After a while, the two Demon Hearts returned to the barracks with the injured Bian Lu. Inform Mo Yuan of the specific situation, and Mo Yuan arranged for someone to take Bian Lu to heal his injuries. Then he said to the Demon Heart: "There are some soldiers left in the city to guard the key roads in various areas, and the enemy's movements will not be so fast. You take all the combat forces except the wounded soldiers, go to the south to aid Marshal Qingyi, and be sure to take Tongqi City. Afterwards, he returned here with the original team and began to do garrison work. As for He Xing, I have my own plans, so you don't have to worry about it anymore, let's go immediately!"

After the Demon Heart led the people away, the Demon Yuan arranged the affairs of the camp and went to the city of Xilu City alone.

Soon, a day and a night passed in a flash. On the morning of the third day, on the top of Quanling Mountain, in the spiritual capital, in a palace in the inner city.

A long table was placed in the center of the hall, and the two sides of the table were full of people, all of whom were slightly nervous. Their eyes fell on a man sitting at the top of the table, a man in his forties, looking at a military newspaper on the table in front of him with a flat expression.

This person is none other than the current Spirit King Ande, who is holding a meeting here today because of the events that took place in Xilu two days ago.

At this time, Ande withdrew his gaze from the report, glanced at the people sitting around him, and said slowly: "I wanted to discuss with you today about the occupation of Xilu by foreign tribes, but before it started, this Tongqi fall report was presented again. At this rate, it won't be long before Xiling is someone else's. Is there anything you'd like to talk about?"

Everyone whispered in private, but no one stood up to reply. At this time, a young man on the left stood up and replied: "We have sent people to the two cities to investigate the enemy's situation, and at the same time inform all parts of Xiling to strengthen their armament defenses and not to act without authorization. ”

An old man not far from this person said: "Our military department has sent someone to inform the Spirit Spirit Force of Lingxin City, ordering them to go to Xilu as soon as possible to expel the foreign enemy, there should be movement soon." ”

Ande continued: "Speaking of the spiritual heart, it seems that Tongqi's Yuan Yun has reached the spiritual heart after the defeat, and he will return to the heavenly spirit within a few days. But Xilu's He Xing didn't move at all. The demon clan appeared from the Xilu area, He Xing didn't notice it, not to mention the loss of the army, and now he doesn't know where the people went, is this how he is responsible for the people of Xilu?"

As soon as Ande's words came out, someone immediately answered: "He Xing was appointed by the former king, not only did he not stand up and turn the tide when he was in danger, but fled alone, not knowing where to go, he is really ashamed of the appreciation of the former king for him, if he finds him, he will definitely give him a good look, in order to punish him for living up to the responsibility of the world and the crime of selfish dereliction of duty." ”

Ander glanced at the person who spoke and said, "The first king once told me that He Xing may not obey me, but he will definitely be responsible for Xilu, so I asked me to hand over Xilu to him with confidence. Since the first king trusted this man, we should not jump to conclusions. Let's wait until we find him and find out about the situation. ”

At this time, the waiter outside the door walked in, presented a letter to Ande, and said, "King Ling, this is a letter from Xilu, which was sent by the old headquarters of our army that now lives in Xilu, please take a look." ”

Ander borrowed the letter, nodded, and motioned for the waiter to stand down. Then, under the eyes of everyone, I opened the letter and read it.

At this time, the hall was very quiet, and all the conversations just now stopped at this time. The letter came from Xilu, which is related to the current situation in Xilu. Everyone was very concerned about this, so they waited for Ender to announce the contents of the letter to everyone.

After a few moments, Ender looked away from the letter, and at the same time placed the letter on the table and slapped it with one palm. He said to everyone with an expressionless face: "An old He Xing who lives in Xilu City said that he saw He Xing in Xilu City yesterday and saw him with the leader of the demon clan, and he seems to have started to work on the affairs of the city again. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked surprised. The person who said bad things about He Xing just now said again at this time: "Hmph, this He Xing is really not a good thing, I didn't expect to collude with the demon clan a long time ago, I see that this demon clan is coming quietly, most of it is the ghost of this He Xing." If it weren't for that, how could the enemy army suddenly emerge from Xilu instead of this Heavenly Spirit City. ”

At this time, another person said: "According to the survivors who escaped from the Xilu military camp, He Xing disappeared early in the morning on the day of the demon attack, and it seems that he also brought a group of people and horses out, but until the fall of Xilu, He Xing and the people and horses he brought out did not appear. And now, there is news that he is the only one who appears, and there must be something wrong with this. ”

Ander leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and said: "He Xing's matter, whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless for us to say more again." For the sake of the present, it is necessary to find a way to solve the current situation. In the battle of Xilu and Tongqi, it can be seen that the enemy's strength is superior to ours. The living environment of the demons is harsh, resources are scarce, and aggression and wars occur from time to time, which also makes their army have rich combat experience and high combat effectiveness. On the other hand, we have no actual combat experience under the peace, and we just rely on the combat theories of our predecessors to pass on each other, and compared to the wild demon army, our defeat is also doomed. ”

Everyone present below, hearing Ande's comment, nodded their heads one by one, and an old man who spoke just now said at this time: "What the Spirit King said is extremely true, our army's combat level and actual combat experience are indeed insufficient, and only by fundamentally solving this problem can we gain an advantage in resisting the war." Otherwise, even if you win, you will pay a great price. ”

Ander nodded and said to everyone: "The military headquarters has issued an order that while all districts and cities strengthen their defenses, they must continue to strengthen the combat capability of the army, and do not easily engage the enemy before the overall strength is improved." At the same time, he still entrusted the task of encircling and suppressing foreign enemies to the Spirit Spirit Legion of Spirit City. ”

The heads of the military headquarters and the military department nodded at the same time.

Ande continued: "Qikang, you also need to prepare on your side, we need to cultivate new talents, so that the blood of the new generation can infiltrate the whole army, even if this war is not used, there will inevitably be a shortage of leaders and officials in the Xiling City in the future, so we should prepare in advance." ”

On the right stood a young man, about thirty years old, with slightly red hair and a handsome appearance. After this person stood up, he said to Ande: "The Spirit King wants to gather the outstanding young people of the whole clan and cultivate the elite crowd. ”

The Spirit King replied, "Yes." Now that the time has come to employ people, while the army is strengthening training, we also need more excellent generals to lead them. This training camp is under your sole responsibility, and the location is still set on Lushen Island on the southeast side of the mainland. It is hoped that this intensive training will bring more useful talents to the army and the whole clan. ”

Qi Kang gave a slight salute and nodded his head. Qi Kang is the current head of the personnel department of the Spirit Clan, and the personnel department is responsible for the appointment and training of officials of the Spirit Clan.

Ender's meeting established the basic countermeasures against foreign enemies. All the ministries and cities began to act under the unified command of Ender. However, Xu Ting, the city lord of Lingxin City and the leader of the Spirit Clan's Wind Spirit Legion, did not listen.
