Chapter 134: The Most Arrogant City Lord in the Barren Mountains!
After a series of battles, Wolf Smoke City not only successfully defended, but also annexed Dongguang City and West Wilderness City!
Xia Xu also not only became a realm venerable, but also became a city lord who owned three big cities at the same time!
This situation is not found in the entire Eastern Sui Kingdom!
Not only that, but other forces in the Barren Mountains that were at odds with the Blood Feather Lord also came to seek refuge with Xia Xu!
There are also people who want to fight against the demon clan, and they even express their allegiance to Xia Xu!
Xia Xu's strength now is extraordinary!
According to Xia Xu's plan, the entire Dongguang City cannot keep people, and the 80,000 people in Dongguang City must all move to Wolf Smoke City, and then make the next step!
As for the Western Wilderness City, Wang Shengnan had already withdrawn to Wolf Smoke City with five thousand rock troops and enough food and grass materials, leaving Chi Wenliang as the defender of the Western Wilderness City, recruiting troops and horses on the spot, and organizing three thousand defenders to guard the Western Wilderness City, the geographical location of the Western Wilderness City, this is also an important city to defend the Demon Clan and the Dragon Qi Kingdom!
In addition, the 100,000 people of the Western Wilderness City also began to practice day and night, of course Xia Xu could not send troops from Wolf Smoke City to guard the town, he only sent a few of Yin Qiu's cronies to preside over the affairs, and there were also members of the shadow attack force who were injured and could not recover early to train the troops!
Now, Wolf Smoke City is already strong!
After strict screening, the Rock Army has been carefully expanded again, and it has reached 8,000 people!
Wang Shengnan was appointed as the leading general of the Panshi Army!
The shadow attack force pulled out a part of the people and let the fangs train, Xia Xu wanted to organize another special forces, Death!
And Fangs is the captain of the Reaper's troops!
As for the Shadow Attack Army, it is also the same as the Rock Army, which has been finely expanded! At present, there are already two hundred people, and this is still the result of dividing fifty people to the Death Army.
In addition, there are 20,000 cavalry recruited from Dongguang City, due to the last attack on Wu Zhaoxiang's main camp, so they lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but there are other forces to supplement and donate horses from gentlemen from all over the country, as well as the refuge of nearby cottage horses, and now it has returned to the peak of numbers, and now it is 25,000 cavalry!
The 25,000 cavalry were also given a new name by Xia Xu!
Knights of the Barren Mountains!
And the leading general of the Desert Ridge Knights, since there is no suitable candidate, is temporarily led by Wang Shengnan!
In addition, there are also the garrison troops of Wolf Smoke City, and under Xia Xu's instigation, the scale of the garrison has also grown to 15,000 people!
At this moment, the number of people in Wolf Smoke City totals 200,000!
This includes everyone from all over the world!
They all know that the demon clan army is pressing, and there is disharmony within the human race, everyone knows what kind of goods the Blood Feather Lord is, not to mention that Xia Xu also gave a very strong stone hammer evidence - the Blood Feather Lord colluded with the demons!
Although the barren mountains are vast and sparsely populated, it is also relatively speaking, so people from all sides and regions have gathered, plus the people of the West Wilderness City, the soldiers and civilians under Xia Xu's command have exceeded 300,000!
They are willing to dedicate their property, contribute their treasures, and hand them over to Xia Xu, so that Xia Xu can continue to expand their strength, just to make a better life for themselves and their families!
In their hearts, Xia Xu is a god! He is the only one who is willing and able to fight against the demon clan!
Wolf Smoke City, an unprecedented surge of emotions, has driven everyone to take action!
The army is training hard every day, the people work hard to cook, comfort the sergeants, the rich businessmen sell their property, and find ways to do more business in exchange for enough military pay for Xia Xu!
Of course, that's only five days!
In five days, under the planning of Yin Qiu, the chief financial officer of Wolf Smoke City, Wolf Smoke City has already stockpiled enough food for five whole years!
In addition, Xiaochun is not idle, she is responsible for forming a mobile force during the day - Sky Wolf!
There are all archers in a hundred, a total of 800 people, led by the leading general Xiao Chun!
Since Wang Shengnan didn't have time to take care of the Deserted Knights, under Xia Xu's thinking, he finally gave up this position to Yinying!
Silver Shadow, from a mount, became the leading general of 25,000 cavalry!
Among them, there are accidents, but more of it is her own hard work!
However, Silver Shadow has never forgotten his original identity.
She is a demon clan, a mount that can be driven, and Xia Xu's first fortunate woman!
Therefore, in the past five days, Silver Shadow also trained cavalry during the day and served Xia Xu at night!
Not only Yinying herself, but she also convinced Xiao Chun!
Even though Xiao Chun is shy, deep down he has long regarded himself as Xia Xu's person!
Therefore, under the repeated persuasion of Silver Shadow, on the first night of crushing the enemy's attack, the two served Xia Xu together!
The three of them cultivated together and studied together, and the speed of realm improvement was also twice the result with half the effort, very fast!
In the space of five days, Xia Xu has become a Second Realm Venerable!
Silver Shadow is also a Venerable Realm!
There is also Xiao Chun, her promotion is not small, she is already a Three Realms Xuan!
Wang Shengnan's eyes were red.
One day during her lunch break, she even sneaked into Xia Xu's room!
But after a while, he was kicked out of the room by Xia Xu!
So much so that in the past few days, Wang Shengnan has a blue nose and swollen face, and his eyes are black!
"Alas, my heart is to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" Wang Shengnan was heartbroken, she turned this hatred into strength, and frantically trained the Rock Army!
In just five days, all the members of the Rock Army are in the realm of peak martial artists!
This is a mighty army!
Eight thousand soldiers, the worst realm is also a peak martial artist!
It's too strong!
Wang Shengnan's training methods are simply too strong!
Wang Shengnan is like this, and Xue Liu is not bad.
His shadow troops, after rigorous training, went from two hundred to one hundred and seventy-three!
Rigorous training kills people!
However, the lowest realm of all the shadow attack members is also the master of the brave realm!
But the fangs are even harder!
Of the fifty people he trained, only fifteen survived in the end!
Fangs, the true Grim Reaper!
The way Fangs are trained, it's a real hell!
Even Xia Xu had to admit that Fangs really deserved to be a demon hybrid!
Now there are three Venerables in Wolf Smoke City.
Xia Xu is the Venerable of the Second Realm, Fang Fang and Silver Shadow are the Venerable of the First Realm, and last night Xia Xu took advantage of the full moon night to use his divine soul to lift the curse for the fangs, and the fangs will no longer have to worry about the full moon night in the future!
Not only that, Xue Liu, Wang Shengnan, and Xiao Chun are all Three Realm Mysteries, especially Xiao Chun has the fastest improvement, which makes Wang Shengnan envious, jealous and hateful!
In this way, Wolf Smoke City can be described as strong!
This has made the Blood Feather Lord who is far away in the Middle Wilderness City!
In the lord's hall, Lu Haibo, the general of the defeated army, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to defend himself: "Your lord, I have advised General Wu Zhaoxiang many times not to act rashly, but he didn't listen, and scolded me, I said that all the soldiers and horses should be gathered together to attack the south gate." He had to act separately and say that it blossomed on three sides, and as a result, we blossomed ourselves!"
What Lu Haibo said was reasonable, his face was full of grievances, and his forehead was broken!
"And he relied on himself to be the eldest brother of your lord, arrogant and domineering, framed the first deputy general Liu Xu, directly took the lives of tens of thousands of people, and also killed Wang Xuanwei, the veteran general of the West Wilderness City, General Wang is your most loyal old general, he will do whatever it takes to eliminate dissidents! Even I almost became his scapegoat and shield!"
The Blood Feather Lord sat on the throne, his face pale: "Lu Haibo, don't you usually have a good relationship with Wu Zhaoxiang, why are you scolding him now?"
Lu Haibo was slightly stunned, but said: "I'm pretending! I just want to better handle the affairs you have explained!"
At this time, Li Zhengyu, the military advisor and first strategist standing beside Lu Haibo, said: "Lord, I think that since this matter has developed to this point, let's take precautions first, after all, Xia Xu has already released the news that he wants to come to us for revenge!"
"And our letter has also been passed to the imperial court, now no one can help us except ourselves, and the cities in the south of our territory are no longer loyal to us!
Li Zhengyu's words made the Blood Feather Lord more and more frightened!
The Blood Feather Lord said in a hurry: "Don't even my cousin care about me!"
Li Zhengyu casually took out a secret letter: "This is the secret letter from the blood-stained duke that I just received, and he clearly stated that he wants to draw a line with you, let you find a way to protect yourself and don't involve him, otherwise he will turn his face and deny people!"
The Blood Feather Lord trembled with anger!
"I wholeheartedly helped my cousin as a mage, but he did this to me!"
Li Zhengyu said: "Lord, don't forget, the blood-stained duke is a person who does great things, and what he does is to overthrow the Eastern Sui Kingdom and become the monarch himself! This is a great crime, if one is not careful, it will be a catastrophe! He is also doing this to protect the commander, I hope the lord can understand." ”
Of course, the Blood Feather Lord understood, but he also understood another thing: "I understand, after all, you are from my cousin, of course you will help my cousin speak at a critical moment!"
Although Li Zhengyu is old, he does not look old at all: "I am now the lord's adviser, of course, I must think about the lord first and save the army for the lord!"
The Blood Feather Lord snorted, "Tell me, what the hell are you thinking about me!"
"We only have to defeat Xia Xu in Wolf Smoke City now, so as to find a way to get rid of it! At least if there is still no way out, then we can still use the barren mountain as the foundation to develop, and if it is a big deal, we will set ourselves up as kings!
Li Zhengyu said that the head is the Tao.
The Blood Feather Lord's face was cloudy, but he finally nodded: "Okay, let's count the men and horses and prepare for the second Northern Expedition!"
Lu Haibo lost no time in saying at this time: "The last general is willing to make meritorious service and be a pioneer to take the lead!"
The Blood Feather Lord looked at him coldly, and finally spoke: "Okay, I will make you the first lieutenant general, and you will lead the vanguard of 20,000 to attack Wolf Smoke City!"
Listening to the words of the Blood Feather Lord, Lu Haibo was quite happy at first, because he had finally become the first lieutenant general!
But then he scolded Blood Feather in his heart!
If you only give yourself 20,000 troops, how can you fight Wolf Smoke City! Although it is only a vanguard, it is definitely 20,000 miscellaneous troops, which is obviously to let yourself be cannon fodder!
But Lu Haibo couldn't say anything anymore, if he talked more, it would arouse the suspicion of the Blood Feather Lord, and it was very likely that he would kill himself on the spot!
can only be done temporarily, otherwise, there is no chance to escape, the big deal is that when the time comes, I will see the opportunity to slip away, and I don't want any status, as long as I live, I will have a chance!
Lu Haibo thought so, so he said: "The last general will receive the order, and the last general will be filial to the lord!"
But at this moment, another herald arrived urgently with a letter!
Li Zhengyu, as the first strategist, took the lead in receiving the secret letter and read it for the Blood Feather Lord.
"Lord, the letter says...... Xia Xu, the new city lord of Wolf Smoke City, commanding 40,000 soldiers and horses of the elite of the three cities, has already come south to attack our Zhonghuang City!"
Blood Feather shot up directly!
"It's too arrogant! It's too presumptuous!"
"Do you really think that my Blood Feather is easy to bully!"
"You just won a battle by luck, do you feel that you are very strong!"
"I have a total of 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the Deserted City, and he has only 40,000 people, how dare he attack me!
Looking at Blood Feather's furious appearance, a trace of disdain finally flashed in Li Zhengyu's eyes.
Before he took refuge in the blood feather, he was a guest under the seat of the blood-stained duke, just because the blood-stained duke's master was like a cloud, Li Zhengyu felt that he could not get a good future in the Duke's Palace, so by chance, that is, after the blood-stained duke became powerful, when he was ready to fight for domination, he naturally wanted to win over and support his cousin, and Li Zhengyu volunteered to come to the side of the blood feather to assist him at this time!
In fact, Blood Feather has no strength and qualifications to be a lord!
Although the Eastern Sui Kingdom is only a small kingdom and cannot be compared with the three major empires in the south, the twelve lords of the Eastern Sui Kingdom are all feudal officials with absolute real power!
Blood Feather borrowed the light of his cousin Bloodstained Duke, and then he became a lord in the most barren barren mountain area of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, which was south of the barren mountain twenty years ago, and the chassis of the loess territory was later divided into separate territories, and it was also because although the land here is vast, the resources are limited, and the border with the demon clan and the Longqi country is so long, so the loess lord Huang Daxian is willing to give up the entire barren ridge, let Blood Feather be the lord of the barren ridge, and change the name to the blood feather territory!
But after many years of assistance, although Xueyu has also developed, the speed of development is still slow, which is what Li Zhengyu has long been dissatisfied with, he thinks that Xueyu is too small, and only looks at the immediate interests!
Now seeing the incompetence and anger of the Blood Feather Lord, Li Zhengyu, an old man in his eighties, was finally completely disappointed in him!
Li Zhengyu also said coldly: "Lord, since this kid is looking for death, we will leave his life behind! We will deploy our troops to defend Zhonghuang City with all our might, and then send troops to surround them and cut off their rear supplies, which is definitely very sure to kill them all!"
Xueyu snorted: "Old man Li, you are so confused, you actually made me a turtle with a shrunken head! Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that you were my cousin's guest, I would have given you the death penalty right now!"
"Don't forget, the two times before and after colluding with the demons of Sin City, you made the plan!
Li Zhengyu said: "Lord, the first time you poisoned the old handsome, but it was done seamlessly, for this you also rewarded the old man with ten of your most beloved concubines and dancing girls, don't forget this!"
"And you've received a lot of financial encouragement and food support from the Bloodstained Duke!
Li Zhengyu never whispered in front of Blood Feather, and at this moment, he called himself an old man, and he was also angry!
"The old man asked you to contact the demon for the second time, also because the demon is extraordinary, but no one would have expected that Xia Xu to be even more powerful! He is definitely not an ordinary person! He must be the kind of person who has adventures, so this is something we can't predict, and the dragon touching god didn't destroy the secret letter you gave him in time, that's his fault, you can't blame the old man, you know!"
In the face of Li Zhengyu's words, Xueyu stopped talking, he was still quite afraid of Li Zhengyu, because Li Zhengyu was the number one master in the Middle Wilderness City!
Li Zhengyu saw that Xueyu didn't speak anymore, just bored there, knowing that he actually resented himself in his heart, but so what, strength represents everything!
"Please decide, Lord Lord. Li Zhengyu said indifferently.
Blood Feather slowed down, although he was confronted by his subordinates, but Blood Feather knew that he couldn't blame Li Zhengyu now, and it was no good for the two of them to tear their faces like this, especially now that the enemy was in power, Blood Feather had to let Li Zhengyu give him advice!
"It's just a strategist, in terms of family background and background, it's just too far behind me! When this war is over, I'm freeing up my hands to get rid of him! Looking for an opportunity to get rid of him!" Blood Feather thought to himself, but he said:
"In that case, they dare to attack us without knowing whether they are alive or dead, but it is exactly what I want! I will immediately appoint you Lu Haibo as the vanguard general, and replace the army with the Mountain Lion Force!"
Lu Haibo was overjoyed when he heard it, what level of troops the mountain lion troops is, Lu Haibo knows too well in his heart!
That's the lord's descendant army, the strongest army in the Middle Wilderness City! 20,000!
Among the 20,000, there were 4,000 mountain lion cavalry, and they rode mountain lions on the mountains as if they were walking on the ground!
There are also 6,000 archers, who are responsible for fire suppression!
In addition, there are 10,000 infantry as the main force of the Chinese army, and the overall combat strength is very impressive!
But as soon as Lu Haibo was happy, the Blood Feather Lord's next words made him fall into an ice cave again!
"Li Zhengyu, as a military advisor, led 20,000 people to act together with Lu Haibo's mountain lion troops, and all military operations were arranged by Li Zhengyu and carried out by Lu Haibo!"
Lu Haibo secretly gritted his teeth, "The last general will take orders, and he will definitely live up to his trust!
Li Zhengyu's face was not very good-looking, he didn't expect Blood Feather to let him go on the expedition!
But there is no way, after all, Li Zhengyu is the guest of Blood Feather, he can't go against Blood Feather's will, and after Li Zhengyu heard that Blood Feather was going to send 20,000 mountain lion troops, plus 20,000 people to assist, he also had a bottom in his heart, because before Blood Feather said that 20,000 to Lu Haibo was just a people's brave and miscellaneous army!
The Mountain Lion Troop is no small matter, and it is the capital that Blood Feather can dominate the entire Barren Range and other bordering territories for many years!
Among the peaks outside the Middle Wilderness City, there are many mountain lion clans that thrive, although they are only beasts and not demon clans, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated!
In particular, Blood Feather sent troops to encircle and suppress mountain lions all year round, and captured and domesticated them, and now the mountain lion mounts put into battle have reached as many as four thousand, they are not only walking on the ground between the mountains, they can even help the cavalry to fight together, each mountain lion's combat effectiveness, is not less than a brave!
This is the four thousand masters who are at least the masters of the Brave Realm!
The terrifying and terrifying strength made the lords of other territories not dare to provoke trouble under any pretext!
Now that the Blood Feather Leader is going to dispatch the Mountain Lion Troops, then let's get serious!
"How many of the armies in other places have betrayed me, and how many are still loyal to me, do you have reliable information about Elder Li?"
Li Zhengyu replied: "Lord, the four big cities in the south already know about your secret correspondence with Sin City, and they are already contacting the Loess Territory and want to dissociate themselves from us, this is the news from my undercover agent in their city. The two big cities closest to us, because those two city lords are your relatives, so they are still loyal to you, but the strength of each of their cities does not exceed 10,000, this is still after receiving the news that the bloodstained duke is going to expand the army, there are only so many recruits, usually their two cities together The defenders are not more than 6,000 people, and now there are only about 18,000 people, and the people are mostly brave, most of them are martial artists and warriors. ”
Li Zhengyu's words made Xueyu's face even more ugly: "It's okay, when I clear Xia Xu in the north, and then find an opportunity to start an incident with my cousin, and after I dominate the country, I see that those city lords who betrayed me have nothing to say, I will kill their nine clans!"
Li Zhengyu sighed in his heart, there was helplessness in this, and he still looked down on it!
Dominate the country?
That's pushed out with countless corpses!
And although the bloodstained duke is powerful now, there are three other dukes who are holding back the bloodstained, and if you want to start an incident, it will take time!
Especially now that the demon clan has begun to invade, although all this is planned by the bloodstained duke, no one would have thought that the demon clan would raise the whole army to attack!
In Li Zhengyu's heart, he actually had a bad premonition and fear of the demon clan, he was worried that before the blood stain and blood feather had succeeded, the demon clan would begin to invade the human race on a large scale, and the Eastern Sui Kingdom would fall into a situation from which it would never recover!
If all this happens, it will be terrible!
"Well, everything is up to the lord's arrangement. Li Zhengyu said.
Blood Feather sneered: "Since that's the case, the two of you should hurry up and prepare, I want you to stop them on the lightning slope north of the Middle Wilderness City, and cooperate with other local troops to eliminate Xia Xu!
