Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 316 The Endgame is Initially Described
The three-day battle of Sands finally reached midnight on the third day.
At this time, the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt flesh, but fortunately, those tide-like demon beast armies, after leaving nearly half of the corpses, finally retreated.
In the camp tent of the Demon Lord, a flickering candle was lit, and the Dharma King and the demon beast generals were all arranged by Po Tian to count the team and prepare for patrol, and only the most trusted golden-winged pupil was left in the big tent.
Only in front of Hitomi Ling, the broken genius didn't have to hide the truth, he gritted his teeth and took off the robe on his body, and a bruised scar pierced the demon lord's chest.
"Lord Venerable, please take care!" Hitomi Ling began to become more and more cautious in front of Potian, he considered it again and again, pretending not to see Potian's injuries clearly, this kind of estrangement made Potian a little disappointed.
"I didn't expect that kid was still in the beginner Xuan Realm, and he could hardly embark on the path of cultivation, and he would be able to cut such a blade against the sky. It seems that I did underestimate the land of Kyushu. ”
This is the first time that Potian has shown some hesitation in his words, and the strong self-confidence in him that dominates the world and crushes Kyushu before has begun to loosen a little.
This made Hitomi Ling's feelings for the young demon lord in front of her even more complicated.
Like other great demons in the land, the first thing that Breaking Heaven brought them was a sense of oppression that reigned over the world. The land that does not come to is wild and barren, and if you want to survive, you only need to see your strength. This mysterious young man didn't know where he came from, but he relied on his own strength to destroy several top demons in a row in the land that he didn't reach, which condensed a plate of scattered demon beasts into a force that shook the heavens and the earth, and guided them through the Burial Spirit Sea, through the stone forest ghost mound, across the eternal night, and finally to the land of Kyushu.
Compared with the poisonous miasma and wasteland of the land where the hometown does not come, the realm of Kyushu, which is rich in water and plants, is simply like a heavenly existence. And those who occupy such a rich and abundant land only know how to attack and plunder, and seem to be obsessed with the process of robbing, and lack the enthusiasm to be grateful or enjoy these gifts.
Tong Ling is also afraid of breaking the sky, but she has respect and gratitude for this high-ranking young man.
"Your Excellency, don't worry about this, the army of the land I don't go to, since the invasion of Kyushu, has traveled a thousand miles in a day, attacking the city and conquering the land, and the momentum is like a bamboo. Xiang Bei's kid succeeded twice, all because of our carelessness, which allowed him to take advantage of the loophole. Next time, let Hitomi Ling clean up this guy for the Venerable Lord. ”
"Hmm!" Po Tian understood what Hitomi Ling meant, but obviously didn't want to discuss the matter too much with him, just lowered his head to check the wound, and echoed, "This little injury has no effect on me, you go down first, and I'll rest by myself." ”
Looking at the back of Tong Ling who was about to walk out of the camp, Po Tian suddenly remembered something and asked,
"Have the spies we sent to spy on the Northern Wilderness Ranger and the Western Fan Kingdom returned, and what are they doing?"
"As you predicted, the Northern Wilderness Ranger is suffering from a natural disaster, and there are constant internal strife. Although the West has gathered heavy troops, it is limited to operating their northern defense line and gathering danger to defend it. ”
Potian nodded, seeing that Tong Ling was standing at the door but did not retreat, a little puzzled, "Is there anything else?"
"I'm just a little unclear, the West Fan and the Northern Wilderness are not good at defending the city, why the Lord insists on attacking Daxia, which is the best at defending. Moreover, their defenders were cunning and had many indiscriminate means against our soldiers, especially those firearms, which caused us a lot of casualties. ”
"Zephan and the Ranger should indeed be easier to attack. However, they are all vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Especially the Northern Wilderness Rangers, they are good at maneuvering, even if they capture their tribal camp, it is the middle of winter, and we cannot resupply by occupying it. Only Great Xia, conquering Great Xia, we will be able to have a wider space and supplies. At that time, taking the Northern Wilderness Ranger or crossing the Nine Wandering Spirit Mountain to take the West Fan was like searching for something. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" Hitomi retreated, the uneasiness that had been haunting him a little lighter. In the Demon Beast Army, it is privately rumored that this young Demon Army Lord led the army all the way east at any cost, just to use the power of the Unreachable Land to destroy Great Xia. For the sake of personal revenge, all that the people of the land that do not come can be sacrificed. For example, Zephan or Ranger, their territory is enough for these monsters to live. There was no need to risk your life to fight against the fortified cities and firearms of Great Xia.
But Po Tian's remarks made Tong Ling no longer doubt it.
......
"You guy, you are really cowardly, come up and hug it, and it is not only our Lord Huding of West Kunlun who will be offended. ”
Qin Luoyu leaned weakly on Xiang Bei's arms, looked at the distance from the Jinsha City Wall, and quietly stretched out a jade arm like a lotus root, hooking Xiang Bei's neck.
This feeling made the fairy's heart beat wildly, but he found a sufficient reason for himself, so that he could reduce Xiang Bei's burden.
"Your inner spirit is exhausted, and you have endured the power of the heaven-breaking spirit spear, and the internal injuries are not light, so don't speak. ”
Xiang Bei's face was concerned, but his footsteps did not stop at all, of course he knew that he had hugged Qin Luoyu in public, and even more angry should be Senior Uncle Tianen and Senior Brother Fulu.
In their eyes, this fairy should be responsible for Fusheng's death, and Lu Nanxun broke Fulu's wrist, and this debt should also be recorded on her head, the head of Xikunlun.
However, this is exactly what Xiang Bei intended. Yu Gong, the current enemy, Xiang Bei does not allow these realm guards to continue to fight among themselves. Yu Private, this experience of separation made him no longer want to be like before, always deliberately suppressing and hiding his emotions.
He only knew that he had to protect Qin Luoyu well. Whether this fairy is the first in West Kunlun or the ninth Yan Luo, Xiang Bei must protect her well and no longer allow her to be wronged in the slightest.
Qin Luoyu was not used to this young man who had always been at the mercy of himself and suddenly ordered himself not to speak,
"I want you to take care of it, I want to speak!" But the resistance was limited to such an angry sentence, and it also had a bit of a coquettish taste.
Then a few light coughs, and sure enough, the fairy stopped making a sound. Secretly staring at Xiang Bei's familiar face, but secretly a little unfamiliar because of the difference during this time. I don't know when it started, the pinch of fluff on the corner of the kid's mouth darkened a lot, and it looked a little like the stubble of an adult man.
Qin Luoyu finally held back, although she really wanted to reach out and touch the stubble on the corner of the young man's mouth.
At this moment, the boy in her eyes, like a man, rescued her from the crisis, and then picked her up domineeringly to heal.
Qin Luoyuyuan himself was a penancer, and the current predicament only needed to replenish enough pure spirit yuan as soon as possible. Xiang Bei, who had a tacit understanding in his heart, hugged that soft body, and went straight to the high branch where Qin Luoyu took him to practice the meridian meditation skill, where there was a pure yuan spirit like a cool breeze and a clear moon.
Of course, there is also Qin Luoyu's favorite, which only belongs to her and Xiang Bei's distant mountains and forests, which are endlessly quiet.
......
After seeing that Po Tian led the demon beast army to retreat, the city gate official did not wait for Ma Zheng's order, and also planned to open the city gate and welcome the exhausted remnants of the army outside the city into the city.
There were also subordinates on the side who kindly reminded, "Or, let's wait for Master Ma to come back and then open the city gate?"
The city official, who had always been submissive, roared at this time, "Open your dog's eyes and see, is there still a city in Jinsha? What's the point of using this broken door to keep them out?"
Xiang Bei's return, although it rekindled the hope of these surviving soldiers, but those who had passed away could no longer see a ray of morning light that illuminated the darkness.
Yuelai rushed over and welcomed everyone into the city gate, but now there is no difference between inside and outside the city. No, the city looks even more desolate, ruined.
In addition to crying, those who survived were desperately digging through the rubble in twos and threes, trying to rescue their loved ones from there.
Ma Zheng took his cronies and finally dug Lu Jichuan out from under a few rafter pillars, fortunately, a larger beam and column just stood on top of the other beams and columns, blocking the subsequent collapse of the rubble for Lu Jichuan, and the grizzled Lu Jichuan only had his ankle broken, and when he dug it out, his consciousness was quite clear.
Regardless of his own pain, the first thing he said when he came to his senses was to ask Ma Zheng, "Have the city defenses ever been lost?" Knowing that the beast army had faded again, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Ma Zheng to continue to save people.
"Where's Captain Geng Zhong, go and get him for me. "So far, Lu Jichuan can't take care of Ma Zheng's feelings, and urgently summons Geng Zhong, it seems that he has something important to order.
Ma Zheng's face really became embarrassed at this time, and the cronie who had been following him saw that Ma Zheng was a little embarrassed, so he interjected smartly,
"Back to Lord Lu, Geng Zhong's family was so happy that he didn't know what he could, he thought that the fairy art had trapped the demon beasts, and took his men and horses out of the city to pick up the cheap, but he was chased and killed by the army of demon beasts who reacted. Fortunately, Master Ma Zhengma is wise and the brothers take strict precautions, so that they can finally keep the gate of our Jinsha, and it is foolproof......"
This kid didn't understand the change in the expression on Lu Jichuan's face in the dark, and continued to frame Geng Zhong with his eyebrows fluttering. Unexpectedly, Lu Jichuan didn't rub sand in his eyes, and instantly guessed what was happening outside the city, pushed away the military doctor who was fixing his ankle bone, and stared at Ma Zheng fiercely with a long stick handed over by his subordinates.
"Ma Zheng, look at the good things you have done!" he said, telling his men to bring him the horse. But several times he turned over, but he was never able to jump on the back of the tall horse, and threw the crutch in annoyance.
"Why are you still stunned! Find me a sedan chair, I'm going to patrol the city defense!"
Lu Jichuan's face was furious, and Ma Zheng didn't dare to persuade him, so he had to follow Lu Jichuan's instructions and let someone carry a small sedan chair. At the same time, seeing the opportunity, he kicked the mouthy subordinate in the ass hard,
"Why are you still stunned, take other brothers to continue to save people!"
Although I don't know what I said wrong, I was very resentful in my heart, but after thinking about it, it was better to leave these unpredictable uncles quickly, so I went down to act.
In the bumpy sedan chair, Lu Jichuan sighed. Although it was also expected that Jinsha would be in internal and external difficulties, and it would be difficult to resist the torrent of monsters in the unreachable land, but the city defense was still there, but it was self-destructed in such a way that the Xiao Wall was destroyed, and this veteran who can be said to be a lifelong veteran of Rong Ma was unwilling.
There were bursts of wails from all around, and some ruins and broken walls collapsed sporadically in the process of rescue, stirring up waves of dust, howling and grief, which made Lu Jichuan even more confused.
"Alas, Ma Zheng, Ma Zheng!" Thinking of the end, Lu Jichuan still stuck his mind on the current predicament, this Ma Zheng was loyal to himself, but it seemed that with his ability and mind, he was really embarrassed to protect the great responsibility of Jinsha.
I admire Geng Zhong a lot, but it's a pity that he is a person who often breaks captives.
"That's right, Chang Poyu!" Thinking of this name, Lu Jichuan had a headache, now that the golden sand has been lost, if the governors of the five armies are allowed to take the opportunity to act, they are afraid that they will not be protected.
"Ma Zheng!"
There was a cry from Lu Jichuan in the sedan chair, and Captain Ma Zheng, who had been guarding the sedan chair, responded to the call, and Lu Jichuan asked Ma Zheng to poke his head into the sedan chair and whispered in a voice that only Ma Zheng could hear,
"Remember, if Chang Poyu has the opportunity to return to the DPRK to move troops, you and I will not be able to protect our heads......"
Ma Zheng didn't dare to ask for credit easily this time, but looking at Lu Jichuan's serious expression, he knew that this matter was the most important thing at the moment, and after his eyes met Lu Jichuan's, he saw Lu Jichuan nodding slightly at him,
"Subordinates understand ......"
This time, Ma Zheng made up his mind that he must not disappoint Captain Lu Jichuan of Jinsha again.
