Chapter 606: Momentum
Two days later, at noon.
At this moment, most of the soldiers of the eight days in the north, as usual, spread out outside the city, opened their posture and carried out drills.
They had been in this state for months, and at first even they didn't know why they had suddenly started training. Since Rahu came to power, the eight days in the north have become the most preferential one of the eight days in the four directions.
Fighting? They hadn't thought about it for a long time, and they were all about to forget about it.
However, later, some rumors gradually reached the ears of the soldiers, and the soldiers knew that the training seemed to be really preparing for war. In particular, the intensity of the daily drills was very high, and every general was extremely strict and serious, which surprised the soldiers. Is there really going to be a war? And with whom?
There was no answer to this question for a long time, but the soldiers later found out that there were also troops mobilized in the central Shanxian City, and they were all elite soldiers, and they began to feel that things were not simple, and this battle should really be fought.
There are too many theories about who to fight with. Especially because everything that happened during this period has a sense of imminent storm, so there are different opinions. Some say that it was fought with the remnants of the old emperor in Mount Meru, some say that there are strange beasts in Mount Meru, and they want to attack the city in groups, and some say that there is a peerless murderer in the heavenly realm who wants to wash the city in blood.
When the officers and men listened to these statements, some were a little more serious, some were smiling while practicing, and some even felt that the generals were making a big fuss. Because in their opinion, after all, they and the others are regular troops, so how can they be afraid of those messy miscellaneous fish? No matter how strong they are, how big waves can they stir up?
It's just that this state of being tight at the top and loose at the bottom, wanting to be nervous but not being nervous, lasted for more than ten days, but it changed suddenly. The soldiers all realized the seriousness and horror of the matter, realized that the crisis was just around the corner, and if they were not careful, they might die without a place to be buried, so all the soldiers who participated in the drill became extremely serious.
Although he didn't feel any turmoil, and although he didn't see any enemy troops nearby, a theory suddenly became popular throughout the eight days in the north, whether it was true or not, because it was quickly accepted and spread by too many people, and the so-called public mouth was golden, and this became the truth.
It is said that the old emperor Shi Tihuan has returned to the heavenly realm, and has already taken the three heavens of the south, east and west, and once mixed into Shanxian City, almost poisoning Rahu.
Shi Tihuan completely tore his face with Rahu due to the failure of poisoning, so he raised tens of thousands of white people in three days to officially go to the north for eight days, and wanted to take the north eight days in one fell swoop!
If it was just a simple resurgence of the old emperor, it would not be so terrible. The terrible thing is that the old emperor's cultivation is now even better than back then, and it is on a par with Rahu. If not, how could he retreat from the central city?
Moreover, the power under the command of the old emperor is now monstrous, the three heavens bow down to the vassals, and his secret training and raising soldiers has been more than a hundred years, and the strength of each soldier is extremely strong, and he is not at the same level as the pampered Northern Eight Heavens warriors.
What's even more terrifying is that it is said that the old emperor was beaten into hell by Rahu. But the old emperor's ability was too strong, not only was he not suppressed by hell, but he conquered hell, bucked the trend, and returned to the heavenly realm. This time he didn't come back alone, but also brought the brutal troops of hell, if the big battle started, the breath of hell would sweep the north for eight days!
This half-truth spread too quickly, but at first there were still some people who remained skeptical and thought it was alarmist. But later, some people came up with strong evidence to prove that the rumors were true, and some people had begun to preach the old emperor's policy of eight days in the north, that is, not to disturb the people, not to kill the disarmed, to surrender and be accepted, and not to surrender to bombardment, so the most stubborn part of the people finally believed.
It's just that the Great Heavenly King of the Eight Heavens in the north also sent troops to arrest those who spread rumors and even advocated the policies of the old emperor. However, no matter how much they searched, they were always one step too late, and they never found each other, as if these words had come from the mouths of the people and the soldiers themselves. And their behavior is tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here, but it makes the people and soldiers believe even more that these statements should be true.
The old emperor returned and wanted to seize the heavenly realm, and this one was enough to make all the people in the north for eight days frightened. As for the more exotic statements, they add to the atmosphere. In this way, it is no wonder that the soldiers are also serious when they practice. They are actually afraid that they will die in the great battle that they don't know when it will come.
It's just that, after all, they have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and now they are temporarily clinging to each other, and they know that it is no longer meaningful. In this way, no matter how serious they are, their hearts are also flustered. There are more people in a panic, and the whole army is a little chaotic. In addition, most of the people were in a panic, so the sky over the entire northern eight days was shrouded in haze in a short period of time, and the people were panicked.
Today, the soldiers practiced as usual, and gradually learned why they were trained outside the city, but the city was empty. The reason is that in order to bluff, in order to deter the old emperor's troops who don't know when they will come, so that the other party will not dare to attack rashly.
"I've heard that not even a single spy has been sent out of the city, but the city has been locked with that light curtain. This kind of arrangement, which does not even listen to the enemy's situation, has already been admitted, and if we really fight, we have no chance of winning. During the exercise, a northern eight-day soldier whispered.
"The light curtain is weird, and I don't know who got it from where I did, I don't dare to stare at it for too long, because if I look at it for too long, I will see hallucinations. But ......" Before the other soldier could finish speaking, suddenly, a loud horn sounded in the distance.
He was naturally not the only one who heard the sound of the horn, so all the soldiers who were training looked into the distance, and found that thousands of people suddenly appeared on the top of the mountains in the distance. One by one, they all held huge screw horns, cultivated for infusion, and blew the screw horns!
All of a sudden, the sound of the trumpet shook the sky, and it actually came from the southeast, south, and west directions of the Eight Heavens in the North, and finally all of them were concentrated in the sky above the Eight Heavens in the North, which shook the ears of every person in the Eight Heavens of the North.
Before all the soldiers of the Eight Heavens in the North could react to what was going on, they saw three steel giants comparable to mountain peaks with huge drums the size of a town hanging on their chests, holding drumsticks the size of two palace pillars in both hands, and began to beat the drums heavily.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound was stronger than the other, and the other was stronger than the other, and the heartbeats of the soldiers of the Eight Heavens in the north were gradually attracted by the sound of this drum, as if someone was beating the drum in their hearts, trying to make their hearts beat out.
"Woo ......" The huge horn sounded again, and with the uninterrupted huge drum sound, the faces of the soldiers of the Eight Heavens in the North began to change one by one.
Then, the soldiers of the Eight Days in the North saw that on the peaks of the mountains in the distance, countless huge banners were suddenly erected. These flags are waving in the wind, the flags are golden, with a red sun and four red stars on them.
"Thirty-three days flag!" Among the eight heavenly soldiers in the north, someone recognized the origin of the flag at a glance, so he exclaimed!
The Thirty-Three Days Flag is the name of the flag. The flag has a golden background, representing the golden sky of the heavenly realm. The four red stars above the banner represent the eight heavens shrouded in golden light. As for the red sun in the middle, it represents the Central Emperor Shakti!
The Thirty-Three Days Banner is the royal flag of Huan Yin's reign, Huan Yin has ruled the heavenly realm for countless years, and this flag is known to everyone, and no one knows it. Now that this flag has reappeared, it is a direct proof that Huan Yin has come!
"Emperor...... The Emperor is here, and the Emperor has really come to attack our north for eight days!" A soldier exclaimed.
"The rumors are true, the emperor is really here, we ...... We're done!" and some of the soldiers were even more flustered, some incoherent.
Under the banner, the soldiers of the brigade have appeared, they come from the three heavens of the south, east and west, the heads are densely packed, but the military appearance is strict and neat, and each has its own characteristics. And in the back of the troops, a large number of instruments gradually reveal their figures, making people feel numb just by looking at them.
