The dark clouds in the distance were thick, the sky was red, and long lightning flashed from time to time, but there was no thunder for a long time, and the dark clouds over Fuhai City were still very thin, but when I raised my head, I couldn't see the trace of the stars and moon.

"It's fighting, it's really fighting. The young soldier muttered to himself, not even noticing that he was speaking.

A stiff and powerful palm pressed against his shoulder, "This is when the Dragon Bin Society and the Sorcerers are fighting for the battle day, and there are still many days left before the battle." ”

"What's long. The soldier smiled embarrassedly, and then remembered that he was wearing a nearly closed helmet, and he couldn't show any expression, "Is the battle in Broken Flow City the same as it is now?"

Shen Xiuming nodded, his boss always wanted to transfer him to a safer position, but he refused, the only thing he accepted was the position of chief, leading a small team of recruits to be stationed on the front line, their training only lasted more than ten days, and they had just learned some of the most basic combat skills, and they were ready to go to the battlefield.

After all, Shen Xiuming had participated in a major war, and he was indeed qualified to serve as the leader of the recruits.

Fuhai City faces the sea in the east, there are hundreds of military camps neatly arranged outside the west gate, there is no light in the camp, and dozens of miles to the west, a large number of people are building high platforms, bunkers, catapults and other ordnance overnight, this will be the main position of the Huang Fu Army.

Further west, hundreds of ten-man squads guarded the forward outposts to prevent the sneak attacks of the demon soldiers, and the country not only had an incredible number of regular troops, but also gathered many barbarian demon clans, who were not used to frontal combat, but were good at sneak attacks at night.

The outpost was very rudimentary, hastily built from old wooden planks dismantled from the city, with two floors, the lower floor storing supplies for rest, and the upper floor being used for lookouts, and birds made of paper charms flying between the posts. Different forms and different functions, some are responsible for finding demonic energy, and some are responsible for emitting light when necessary...... The sentinels filled in with their eyes any gaps that the talismans might have made, and attacked with their crossbows as soon as the paper bird gave a warning.

The duty is simple, but the danger is not small, there are barbarian demons infiltrated in three consecutive nights, there have been many encounters, and there are dead and wounded on both sides, compared to the upcoming big battle. This loss is insignificant, and for the soldiers who are on duty at the post, this is an imminent threat.

Shen Xiuming could understand the fears of the recruits, he himself was not as calm as he appeared, the scale of the Battle of Floating Sea City was ten times or even a hundred times that of the Battle of Broken Flow City back then, and the fire of the Imperial Capital was still deeply imprinted in his mind, although in the end it was shown that it was the Demon Array and not the Sacrifice King's own strength, the strength of the Demon Clan was still shocking, compared to it. Back then, the giant demon king Qi Wusupreme was similar to the bandit leader who occupied several mountains.

"The time and place are all handed over to the Fu Master and the monks, and when the time comes, we will only take care of the ground battle. You don't need to look up, the sky is falling and you will be carried by the talisman master, and don't stop at will. No matter if there is fire, fog, or poison ahead, we must believe that the Fu Master can solve it, we are soldiers, just send the sword and gun to the demon soldier. How much effort to make a lot of energy. ”

As soon as Shen Xiuming talked about the battle, several recruits around him listened attentively, before stepping into the real battlefield. That's where their most important experience comes in.

"If it's a talisman master...... Can't stop it?," one recruit asked, wistfully.

It just so happened that hundreds of balls of light swept over the sky above the outpost, flying from the floating sea city in the rear to the distant sky, like meteors but not extinguished, like fireflies but brighter and bigger, the speed of the ball of light was not very fast, the sentries looked up one after another, and could vaguely see the talismans inside, they were not common paper talismans, but bronze talismans and jade talismans.

The power of the talisman depends on all aspects, the writer is the most important, the material is second, the same person wrote the talisman, the copper talisman, the jade talisman is stronger than the paper talisman, if the copper sheet jade plate itself is also blessed with other methods, the effect is even better.

The only problem is that the right amount of copper and jade is scarce, and it cannot be replenished for a long time after use.

Just to compete for the time before the battle, the Fu Masters sacrificed the old book that the Dragon Bin Club had accumulated for many years, which showed how fierce the upcoming battle would be.

The ball of light was far away, and the sentinels who didn't know the difference let out an exclamation, Shen Xiuming urged his subordinates to concentrate on monitoring the surrounding situation, and then said: "If the Fu Masters can't stop the demon art of sacrificing their country, no matter how much you look around, it's useless, the demon magic is all falling in pieces, covering several miles or even dozens of miles, and there is nowhere to run, our task is to continue to cut and kill the demon soldiers, the only difference is to cut faster and harder." ”

The laughter of several recruits was a little forced.

"And it. Shen Xiuming lifted the wooden statue hanging on his chest, the statue was so small that it could be held with one hand, almost everyone had it, and hung it on his chest with ropes and chains, he could see it when he lowered his head, and he could hold it with his hands raised, in order to prevent it from shaking around, the soldiers used various methods to fix the idol on the cuirass.

The recruits also held the idol and rubbed it lightly with their fingers.

"I believe in the ancient gods, but is there really such a person as Mu Xingqiu, did the ancient gods really pass on their power to him?" asked one of the recruits.

Hanging idols is not a uniform order, but a sudden fashion, many humans originally believed in the ancient gods, but the three symbols of death, mercy, and indifference did not provide much comfort to the soldiers and civilians in desperate situations, and a new theory arose a few days ago: the old gods also have a saving and fighting side, and it has given both abilities to a legendary hero.

Mu Xingqiu's name quickly spread to every corner of Fuhai City, Shen Xiuming, as Mu Xingqiu's fellow villager and good friend, has told the curious many times about those adventurous pasts, some of which he personally participated in, and some of which he also heard, but the details are more accurate.

"Of course there is Mu Xingqiu, I grew up with him and have seen all kinds of miracles he created, you haven't heard his name, you should have heard the song of "The General's Journey", right?" Shen Xiuming is familiar with it and knows how to tell a wonderful story.

The recruits held the idol tighter.

Shen Xiuming continued to speak steadily, but he was thinking in his heart, the soldiers' worship of the ancient gods and Mu Xingqiu had surpassed their trust in the Fu Master, was this a good thing?

Hundreds of rune light balls flew to the battlefield in the distance, everyone's eyes turned away, and Shen Xiuming also shut up in time.

In the red clouds, the ball of light exploded, emitting a dazzling white light, like a string of neatly arranged pearls, and the light gradually increased. Finally connected, like a giant dragon across the sky, the long-awaited thunder finally came, from far and near, from weak to strong, like a tide, the humble outpost trembled slightly, and the faces of the sentries above gradually changed color.

It's a great force that makes people feel helpless.

In the roar, the warning issued by the paper bird became weak and inaudible, and Shen Xiuming was the first to hear it, and immediately grabbed the strong crossbow that had been prepared by his side. There was a loud roar in his mouth, but the sound did not come out at all, and the recruits only reacted after seeing his movements.

Dozens of paces away, a paper bird was screaming, flying up and down, and another paper bird quickly arrived, emitting a cloud of light with a diameter of 100 steps, not very strong, but enough to illuminate the anomaly on the ground.

There was a forest nearby. In order to prevent the sacrificial country from planting demon trees, all of them were cut down, and a pile of dirt was quickly turning in the direction of Fuhai City.

Shen Xiuming shot the first arrow, and several other recruits followed suit. The horns of several outposts finally heard the warning, and they all launched an attack on the dirt.

The bow and crossbow are blessed with talismans, and the power is amazing, and the arrows shot go deep into the ground. Although only a few arrows hit the target after a round, the damage dealt was not small.

The upturned dirt rose into the sky like a spring, and at least twenty demon clans jumped out of it. Rushing eastward, their aim was not to destroy the outposts, but to the ordnance under construction.

The first time the recruits fought against the demon clan, and it was also the first time to test the results of more than ten days of training, and their hands and feet were a little uneasy, and even simple actions such as delivering bows and crossbows would go wrong.

A strong crossbow almost fell, but Shen Xiuming caught it with one hand, and while firing it at the demon clan in the distance, he scolded the missing recruit for "idiot".

Ten demon clans were shot and fell to the ground, and more than ten burrowed into the ground again, fanning and escaping.

Shen Xiuming jumped over the baffle of the outpost, fell to the ground and rolled over, stood up, and drew his sword to chase after the demon clan. He saw that this was a large-scale infiltration, and there were demons emerging from the ground and burrowing into it everywhere near and far, and the warning issued by the talisman had already sounded, overpowering the roar coming from afar.

There are also guards in the rear, but it is mainly the people who work, and the more demon clans leak through the front outpost, the greater the pressure in the rear, and the more dead civilians and destroyed ordnance there are.

Shen Xiuming chased desperately, completely ignoring whether his one hundred and seventy or eighty pound body could stand it, he caught up with a small mound of earth that was moving, it looked like it was only the size of a fist, but there was a complete demon clan hiding underneath, not much smaller than him.

The long knife stabbed in, a stream of blood gushed out, and a bone sword, right in Shen Xiuming's chest, he let go of the hilt, took a few steps back and sat on the ground, and then saw a large number of sentries running by, chasing and killing the demon clan underground with knives and guns in hand.

He forgot in a hurry that the army had already arranged for this situation, and the soldiers at the lower level of the outpost were responsible for chasing the fish that slipped through the net, and the sentry at the upper level should continue to be on guard and not have to jump down.

Shen Xiuming got up and found that he was not seriously injured, and the talisman cuirass seemed to be very useful, blocking the demon soldier's bone sword.

He walked back to the upper level of the outpost, only to find several of the recruits taking off their helmets and looking at him with adoration.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xiuming said angrily, ashamed of the low-level mistakes he had made, and he still claimed to be a veteran to teach others his experience.

"Shi Chang, you killed a demon clan with your own hands. One of the recruits said excitedly that although the bow and crossbow eliminated more demons, the feeling was completely different.

Shen Xiuming suddenly remembered that killing at least one demon soldier with his own hands was exactly his wish before the battle, he also took off his helmet, grinned, and then found that he didn't bring back his matching knife, but it didn't matter, there were weapons on the lower level.

A recruit pointed to Shen Xiuming's chest with a look of surprise, "Your god statue ......"

Shen Xiuming looked down, only to find that only the upper half of the small god statue was left, and it turned out that it was not only the Fu Gong armor that blocked the demon clan's bone sword, but also this god statue.

The roar suddenly stopped, the battle on the horizon continued, the red scene was gone, and the white light had gained a firm foothold.

"The Old Gods saved me. Shen Xiuming was a little excited, "Mu Xingqiu...... Helping me!"
