Chapter 44: Departure
The three days passed quickly, and it was time to officially set off.
Early in the morning, Ye Shiyu found Xu Yang and said, "I have already heard the news." ”
"What is it?" Xu Yang asked eagerly, after all, it was a matter of worth his life.
"According to reliable information, at present, the Great Commander has led the Black Prison Army to Xuanye City, and the city lord has personally received it. ”
"What is the strength of the Great Commander?" asked Xu Yang.
Ye Shiyu pondered for a while and said: "Three years ago, it was already the peak of the Transformation God Realm, and now it is possible to reach the Enlightenment Realm, or it may not be. ”
"Can you be sure? Xu Yang said angrily.
"I don't want to either! The main reason is that in the past three years, the Great Commander has not shown his strength at all, anyway, everyone thinks that he has reached the realm of enlightenment. ”
"What about the demon clan?" Xu Yang asked.
"At present, the leader of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain rudder will participate in this war, and in the early stage of the Enlightenment Realm, as for whether the other rudders of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain have come, there is no information at present. ”
After Xu Yang heard this, he also understood in his heart that this top-level struggle would be a showdown in the Enlightenment Realm.
"Then you must follow me, and don't go away. Xu Yang said solemnly.
"Good. ”
The two packed up their things, Xu Yang simply said goodbye to Lin Qingxue, and then went out.
At this time, people are coming and going on the street, the street vendors of the past have disappeared, and there are cultivators everywhere, but there are more of them in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, although there are mortal realms, but there are not many.
After understanding the combat strength of the two sides this time, Xu Yang couldn't help but show pity when he looked at those cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, they might be cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Xu Yang retracted his gaze and looked at the man on the city wall, who was wrapped in black armor.
"I think that's the commander of the Black Prison Army. Xu Yang said in his heart.
Xu Yang couldn't feel any of his breath, he was just like an ordinary person, and he couldn't imagine that he was actually the boss of the ace army of the Mo God Dynasty.
Xu Yang knew that the person was either higher than his own realm, or he had a special means of astringent aura.
At this time, on the city wall, there was a middle-aged man in red clothes next to the black armored man, Xu Yang knew that he was Xuanbai, the loft master of the Imperial Demon Pavilion of Xuanye City.
Lou Xuanbai stood on the city wall, looking at the countless monks below, he spoke: "Lou Xuanbai, the main pavilion of the Lower Demon Pavilion, on behalf of the Divine Dynasty Sovereign, the City Lord of Xuanye City, I would like to thank you for participating in this battle of the Imperial Demons. ”
"Every year we defend ourselves against the attack of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains here, and for the sake of our family and friends, we sacrifice our blood here, just hoping to have a stable year. ”
"This year, we are here again, and you must have heard that the helmsman of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain will also join this war, but the same Grand Commander of the Black Hell Army will also join us to defend against strong enemies. ”
When Lou Xuanbai said the Black Prison Army, the streets erupted in extremely strong cheers.
A "long live" resounded in the sky.
Xu Yang smacked his lips, he didn't expect that this great commander would have such a high popularity.
Lou Xuanbai waved his hand, and it took a while for the cheers to hear.
"This time, His Majesty the Monarch attaches great importance to this battle of the Imperial Demons, and this time he has also prepared extremely rich rewards for everyone, and the most outstanding military achievements will get a Xuanxue Crystal, so I don't need to talk about his efficacy!"
This time, cheers rang out in the streets again, no weaker than the previous one, and many people's eyes were full of longing.
Xu Yang didn't know what it was for, he had an attitude of being able to mix things up in this demon battle, it was important to save his life, and he would talk about the rest later.
Next was Lou Xuanbai who was there alone to make mobilization slogans, but I have to say that his remarks were very demagogic, at least he succeeded in arousing the morale of the people present.
As the day passed, Lou Xuanbai finally gave the order to go out of the army, and suddenly the mighty monks went out of the city in pairs.
The one who opened the way in front was the five thousand Black Prison Army, and Xu Yang really felt what the first army of the Divine Dynasty was this time.
The sturdy warriors wore black armor and glowed with a dazzling luster in the sunlight, and their pillar-like blood and qi soared into the sky, and their every step and movement was in a rhythm, looking like a torrent of steel from a distance.
Xu Yang found that all of the five thousand people were monks, a few were in the Mortal Realm, more than half were in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and there were a few two or three in the Avatar Realm.
This time Xu Yang was completely shocked, although most of the strength of the army composed of monks was not strong, no one dared to underestimate this force, even if he was a strong man in the Enlightenment Realm.
If it's a straggler, then it's nothing, but it's a well-trained and perfectly coordinated army, and it's completely different.
Suddenly, Xu Yang felt that this time might be a little easier.
Xu Yang followed closely behind the Black Prison Army with the flow of people, and talked to Ye Shiyu from time to time.
Xuanye City is located on the plain, and the location of the battle between the two sides this time is also on this plain, you don't have to think about it to know the tragedy of this war, there is no way to hide, there is no way to retreat, at least Xu Yang feels that the human race is like this.
On the other hand, the demon clan has the point of retreating, and if they can't win, they can at least retreat into the mountains.
On the plain, a mountain range runs through, you can't see the end at a glance, and there is only one canyon less than three zhang wide where the two are connected, this mountain range has become a natural barrier, as long as this canyon is blocked, then the ten thousand demons in the mountain can not come out, the same way, the human race does not dare to rashly pass through this canyon, after the canyon is the world of the demon race, and the human race will almost die if you go in.
Xu Yang saw this canyon at a glance, and he had the impression that he had entered Xuanye City through this canyon before, but he didn't expect that Ten Thousand Demon Mountain would be in this deep mountain.
He couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately he had spent it safely.
When the sun set, the Terran army stopped at a distance of 10,000 meters from the canyon and began to set up camp.
"Brother Yang, do you think that this time the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain will play any conspiracy. "Night Rain came with a sword.
Xu Yang pondered for a moment and said: "Probably not, the demon clan knows that we dare not cross the mountain, and we also know that the deep mountain, as the lair of the demon clan, will definitely not let us in, after all, it is their home for generations." ”
"So this time the battlefield will be on this plain, any intrigue is useless, and the best result is to fight hard. ”
When the rain heard the words at night, he fell silent, this is a naked head-to-head confrontation, completely comparing the number and the overall strength, and the result will be extremely tragic.
In the largest tent in the barracks, Lou Xuanbai was talking with the Grand Commander.
"The big war is coming, does the general have any good countermeasures?" Lou Xuanbai asked.
The Great Commander said after a moment: "Throughout the decades of my leading troops to fight, it is the first time I have encountered such terrain, if you want to say anything, there is really no way out, there is no way back, you can only rush up, you have participated in dozens of demon battles, what do you say is a good way?"
Speaking of which, he kicked the ball to Lou Xuanbai again, Lou Xuanbai smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, we used to fight directly, if we win, forget it, if we don't win, we will run back to the city, with the advantage of the city wall, but this time, we can't retreat, and if we retreat, we may not even be able to keep Xuanye City." ”
Although Xuanye City has experienced wars more than once, and the Zhimo Divine Dynasty has also continuously strengthened the defense of Xuanye City, after all, it is still under construction, coupled with the troops invested by both sides this time, once it retreats to the city, then Xuanye City will not be able to defend against the attack of the demon clan.
Before leaving, Lou Xuanbai had already submitted a request for help to the court, and almost all the troops of the Quanshen Dynasty would continue to join the battlefield until the war was won.
