Chapter 603: Ferocity in the Blood
Just after the New Year, there are several important events for the people of Lancheng before and after the Lantern Festival.
First of all, there are hundreds of giant elephants that are six meters high, all the way north from the Land of Heavenly Scenery to the south gate of Arashi.
After copying the family to get the secret book of the six first gates, it took Xi Wanya a few months to finally surrender this group of elephant soldiers.
Hundreds of behemoths six meters high, eleven meters long, and weighing twelve or thirteen tons walked on the road, like small buildings moving, giving people the feeling of returning to ancient times, when countless wild monsters were rampant.
The ancient people encountered along the way also had to take refuge when facing this elephant army.
Whatever stands in their way will eventually be bulldozed and trampled into mud.
As they moved forward, even the earth was shaking, and such a vibration could be felt dozens of miles away, and many people even thought that the earth dragon had turned over, but then they found out that it was such a group of behemoths.
Many people in Arashi City searched everywhere to find out what was going on, and finally the news came from the city gate, and many people immediately ran outside the city to watch.
The empress who received the news took the ministers of the court and the central government out of the city to watch.
In fact, the news had been received the night before, and there had been a conversation at the time.
"Your Majesty, those elephant soldiers will be back in Arashi tomorrow. After receiving the news, Ren Baqian returned to the palace with great interest to tell the empress.
"Oh!" replied, the empress recklessly.
"That's hundreds of elephants, tanks on the battlefield. It took a lot of effort for Xidu to surrender, and it can play a great role in the war with Izumo Kingdom, Your Majesty will give you a little reaction, right?" Ren Baqian was speechless when he saw the empress's reaction.
"Oh!" the Empress replied, and after a while, she looked up and said, "Those things...... How do you want me to react?"
His eyes were full of doubts.
It was as if it was not an elephant soldier, but a herd of pigs.
It's just a bunch of pigs, how do you want me to react?
Ren Baqian only had this thought in his mind at that time.
"Your Majesty, although in your eyes, the strength of these elephant soldiers is not high, Your Majesty alone can clean them up in a short time, and even the flying horses can kill them all in a short time!
But on the battlefield of the Cloud Kingdom, these elephant soldiers can play a great role in charging into battle or attacking cities and plundering land, these giant elephants have extremely tough skin, huge size and strength, and have great lethality to ordinary soldiers, but also have great deterrence, it is difficult for ordinary people to be indifferent to such a behemoth.
Therefore, this is an opportunity to show the people of Arashijo that they know the strength of our army and have strong confidence in the battle ahead. Just like on Earth, many countries will expose some weapons to their people every once in a while, so as to increase their confidence and pride in the country, and deter enemy countries.
We don't need deterrence now, we just need to raise the confidence of the people, and it's like, 'Wow, we have such a powerful weapon!'" Therefore, Your Majesty also has to show her face to make the people feel that this is also what Your Majesty values. Ren Baqian said to the empress, and the last few sentences were said in an extremely exaggerated tone.
"Do you find anyone skeptical about the outcome of the war?" asked the Empress rhetorically.
"Nope. "Ren Baqian told the truth. The war has been going on for less than a year, and although the lives of the people have been affected, no one has questioned the outcome of the war, not even the war.
"So, it's okay to have me here, as long as I'm in this position, and the people won't have any worries as long as they see me! The empress's voice was not high, but her words were full of strong confidence and domineering.
Ren Baqian had to admire in his heart, sure enough, the empress should be like this.
That's why this is the emperor.
"Okay, Your Majesty, you're right, but the minister still hopes that Your Majesty will show up and take everyone to see this rare giant elephant, at least most people haven't seen it, right? Ren Baqian still hopes that the empress will be able to show her face outside the city tomorrow.
It's not a careful thought, but he always thinks that if the empress doesn't show up, as if those giant elephants don't matter, how can he be embarrassed? You know, he has always cared about these giant elephants.
The empress finally nodded, so there was a scene where the empress led many court officials out of the city to watch.
When everyone went out of the city, there were people cheering on both sides of the road and in the shops all the way, which was the influence of the empress in Dayao.
Because the empress is the fourth or fifth in the world, there is no difference to everyone, the empress is the strongest person in Dayao, this is known to everyone.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of behemoths standing in the distance, all of them covered in rattan armor soaked in the juice of special plants, revealing two or three meters long fangs.
Even from a distance, you can feel their enormity, and the breathtaking momentum of a herd of more than 100 giant elephants.
"It turned out to be a giant elephant! Such a large group is rare, and the old man used to see only a group of a dozen in the south. Although the strength of the individual is not strong, it should not be underestimated when charging. Shi Qing recalled what he had seen and heard after seeing the elephant soldiers behind the empress.
"It's called a giant elephant, I've never seen it before!" said Tong Zhenye. He will call me in front of Shi Qing and the empress, instead of calling himself an old man.
The empress always kicked him like a ball.
This is because of the rare respect in his heart for the wise man and the wise. After so many years, I've gotten used to it.
Everyone stopped outside the door, and Ren Baqian took the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Forward!"
Then the elephant herd in the distance let out a burst of elephant mooing, and the sound was extremely deep.
Then more than 100 giant elephants began to advance, and the ground began to shake.
Under the command of the soldiers behind the giant elephant, the speed of the giant elephant began to increase, the earth roared incessantly, and one by one the giant elephant raised its proboscis and roared, and the herd rushed towards the city gate with a crushing posture.
That kind of posture, that kind of posture, made many people a little surprised, these behemoths charged really amazing.
Many ordinary civilians of the ancient tribe near the city gate even felt a trace of fear from the bottom of their hearts in the face of such a scene like a landslide and tsunami, which made them very dissatisfied, and many of them clenched their fists, craned their necks, and gritted their teeth to stare at the rushing elephants, without letting out half an exclamation or taking half a step back.
Everyone thought in their hearts, if they took half a step back today, or exclaimed in surprise to show half a point of timidity, it would be a loss for adults.
Ge Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is still shameless? or in front of His Majesty!
And our ancient clan has been hunting for a living since ancient times, and we can't be scared when we see a few such guys in our own generation, and we won't have the face to go back to the 60,000 mountains when we die.
Such a wild beast aroused the blood and battle intent in their blood, as if returning to the period when their ancestors fought with various giant beasts in the 60,000 mountains.
For a while, except for the sound of the giant elephant running and the elephant mooing, the sound of pointing and pointing at the city gate disappeared for a while, but there was some silence.
Ren Baqian glanced back in some surprise, and saw the people clenching their fists, bounced up on their necks, and staring ahead with red eyes. After all, the huge weapon he values can deter these people, and the effect is satisfactory to him.
It's just that the reaction of these people is a bit excessive? Why do they look like they want to eat people, with a fierce face?
"Haha, this thing is not bad, it can be used to fight, if it is not eaten at the front, it can also eat meat! Such a big size should be able to feed a lot of people. Qin Chuan suddenly burst out laughing.
With Qin Chuan's laughter, everyone in the military department laughed, Tong Zhenye also laughed, Shi Qing also laughed, Tu Wan also laughed, and then the fierce expressions of those ordinary people also relaxed, and they laughed one by one.
"Do you understand?" the empress turned her head sideways and looked at Ren Baqiandao.
"I don't understand. Ren Baqian told the truth, he was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
This is flesh and courage!
These giant elephants may seem like weapons of war to you, but they are just food to others.
Not because of who is the Supreme Heaven, but because it has been the case since ancient times!"
As she spoke, the empress looked radiant and heroic, apparently pleased with the performance of the people.
Ren Baqian looked at the empress, then at the people behind him, and then chuckled.
It seems that I still don't know much about these ancient people! I didn't expect that the simplest look at the effect of the charge of these giant elephant groups would actually arouse the ferocity in the bodies of these people.
