She sat alone in the tent and suddenly became interested in her name, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, Her Royal Highness the Queen...... She is most familiar with the title of "Your Highness", and she is always the one who receives the most attention, just like she once monopolized the title of "Princess" in Xijie Country, in a group of royal family members, if the word "Your Highness" suddenly sounds, without any prefix, nine times out of ten it is calling her.

Xin Youxun, her real name, has become a strange and mysterious symbol, almost never spoken from anyone's mouth, even her biological parents have never called her by this name.

"Xin Youfu. She whispered, as if it were a spell, but her gaze fell on the statue of the black jade god not far in front of her.

There are not many statues of Moyu gods, and there are about six or seven statues in the entire Floating Sea City, and the one in front of her is very beautifully carved, and it is impossible to do this with the flexible fingers of the carver, and there must be a spell to help.

Someone walked into the tent, and Empress Xun didn't have to look up to know who it was, she said: "The ancient gods have three faces, and I always thought that the indifference represented the emperor, the compassion represented the empress, and the death represented the general." ”

"There are many interpretations of the three idols. Xiao Qingtao walked over and looked at the portrait, not particularly concerned.

"What is the explanation of the Dao system?"

"The Taoist system did not explain, because the Taoist priests did not believe in the existence of the ancient gods at all. ”

"Dao Tong is the ancient gods. Empress Xun raised her head and showed a smile that could not be explained, "In the eyes of mortals, Taoist priests are gods, and we feel deeply about their compassion and indifference to human beings, and we don't know the true meaning of death until the Taoist turns away." ”

Xiao Qingtao looked at Queen Xun calmly, the two have never been particularly close friends, and they can never talk about everything, she can walk in without notice, it has nothing to do with friendship, it is because Xin Youtao linked the two together. And because she is in charge of an army of tens of thousands of monks.

Empress Xun was quite far-sighted, long before the retirement of the Taoist system, she used her influence to recruit monks from all over the world, and started earlier than Hong Futian, and the scale was larger, but the monks were used to being casual, and the grievances between the sects were extremely complicated, even the great Fu Master was difficult to control them, and Xiao Qingtao, who was born as a Taoist, solved this problem.

Now Xiao Qingtao is only a name that only a very few people can call, and General Wan Xiu is her official title. People often call it "Xiushuai".

"Taoist priests are not gods, they are just a group of more capable human beings. Xiao Qingtao said that she was no longer the little girl with a soft voice, family, cousin, Daotong, Fangfang, Mu Xingqiu, Yang Qingyin...... All the forces she can rely on are either dead or missing, from the moment she decides to stand on her own, she is Pei Xiushuai.

This means that when a certain power is too strong to comprehend, we call it God, just like in the eyes of ordinary people. The royal family is also a god. Queen Smoke got up, she was already dressed in a full set of light leather armor, but the helmet was not on, "We also have three faces. I have always refused to admit the side of death, but I can't hide from it, and the Tao has turned around, and millions of humans have fallen into a desperate situation. A mistake in judgment between me and the emperor caused more than half a million people to die in the demon fire. ”

Xiao Qingtao didn't say anything, Queen Smoke was a strong woman. To be able to get out of the abyss, what she needs is not comfort, just a listener.

"I don't hate demons. Queen Smoke's helmet was placed next to the statue of Moyu, and she didn't move, but picked up the idol, "Because hatred brings more death." Some people regard war as a career, some as a hobby, some as venting, and I only regard it as a means. We must win this battle, and after that, Xiu Shuai, I hope to talk to your cousin, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons, and any demon clan who is willing to sit down, and those who hold the dead in their hands should be more merciful. ”

Xiao Qingtao has never known Queen Xun very well, they are two completely different types of people, they didn't have the opportunity to meet and get acquainted, because of a series of accidents to sit in the same boat, until this moment, Xiao Qingtao suddenly had a sense of respect, and understood how Xin Youtao's changes over the years have happened.

"Our Lady of Wanzi and Pei Zihan have clearly rejected my request to join forces, but ...... If this battle can be won, they will be willing to talk about it. ”

"It's going to win. Empress Xun said firmly, the fatigue and hesitation on her face all disappeared, and her slender five fingers held the Moyu Idol tighter.

The idol shone with a soft glow.

"Look, the Old Gods are on our side, not because we are human, but because of the mercy of the Old Gods, they are the masters of death, and they don't allow too little, and they don't allow too much. Queen Xun said with a smile, walked out of the tent without wearing a helmet, and stopped at the door, "Do you think Mu Xingqiu will appear?"

For the statues of gods that suddenly spread all over the city, Xiao Qingtao knew very well what was going on, she didn't object to Xin Youtao doing this, but she didn't clearly express her support, hearing Queen Xun's question, she didn't know how to answer, "Uh...... There is no definite word yet. ”

"Hopefully. Queen Smoke smiled again.

Outside the tent, as soon as the sky was dawning, all the guards had already mounted their horses, ready for a qiē, Queen Xun's unicorn died in the imperial capital, she jumped on the back of a war horse, and no one needed help.

Xiao Qingtao also rode a horse, she has two major responsibilities today, one is to command the monk army, the other is to protect Queen Xun, Xin Youtao commands the whole army, and insists on not letting her sister go to the front line to charge again.

The main road outside was full of old and weak women and children, and all the men who could dance their weapons had gone to the battlefield, and Fuhai City had already reserved a large amount of military funds, plus the armor transported from all sides, and the equipment was not a problem.

The crowd was quiet, not as excited as usual when she saw Queen Smoke, and her eyes were even a little dull. Empress Xun has seen such a look, when the imperial capital is destroyed, when the refugees are desperate and have nothing to do, the only choice is to force herself not to think about anything, refuse to admit that death is imminent, and refuse to accept hope.

It's desperation that drowns below the nostrils.

Queen Smoke slowed down, controlled the reins with one hand, and held up the statue of the black jade god with the other, without anyone looking at or saying anything, focusing all her faith on the idol.

The idol glowed again, and grew stronger, enveloping half of her arm.

This is the power of the talisman, Xiao Qingtao knows this very well, she believes that it is impossible for Queen Xun to be kept in the dark, and the people can guess the truth as long as they think about it a little.

But in the present situation, the truth is precisely the least important.

More and more people are raising the idols in their hands, of different sizes and materials, but with the same beliefs.

The crowd was still silent, but their eyes were not so dull, and even Xiao Qingtao had to admit that there seemed to be more hope in her heart.

The position was densely covered with a large number of wooden platforms and catapults, some of which were as large as castles, which were built by hundreds of thousands of people day and night, and even with the help of magic, it was a miracle.

Empress Xun was sent to a high platform, and Xiao Qingtao went to inspect the nearby monk army, there were many bunkers between the high platform and the catapult, in which a different number of loose cultivators were stationed, with the help of a large number of magic weapons, they had to fight against the magicians underground, to ensure the safety of the Yellow Fu army's feet.

The largest army of monks stopped not far from the high platform where Empress Xun was, numbering 7,000 people, neither Hong Futian's monk team nor Lan Curling's monk group back then had reached such a scale.

These monks are more like soldiers, wearing uniform talisman armor, not yellow, while the black of the Xuanfu army, but the weapons have their own characteristics, swords, staffs, rulers, knives, etc., they are reserve forces, and they will not be immediately put into the battlefield.

Xiao Qingtao still did not fly, but rode in front of the monks, everything was arranged, she was not good at speaking, and finally she shouted "The fire is not extinguished".

"The Dao Fire is not extinguished!" the monks responded in unison, they liked this sentence, since the Dao Sect had retired, then the Scattered Cultivators were the group of people closest to the Dao Fire, and could even be said to be the inheritors of the Dao Fire.

"The fire is not extinguished. Xiao Qingtao shouted three times in a row, she also needed a little faith, that was something that the ancient god statue could not provide, but these four words could, she had never complained to anyone, including Xin Youtao, but when she decided to accept the method of re-destruction and spit out the Dao Tong Neidan, she was really heartbroken.

Her desire to become a Taoist priest is stronger than most.

When the sound of "Dao fire is not extinguished" sounded, she felt that she was a Taoist priest again.

Xiao Qingtao returned to the high platform and stood beside Queen Xun, both of them looking at the same person in front of them.

There are countless soldiers lined up more than ten miles ahead, all wearing yellow talisman armor, only in the middle there is a piece of gray, that is the rune division of the Longbin Society, as the commander of the whole army, Xin Youtao rode a horse and stood in the front row of the rune division, the position was higher than everyone else, and there were hundreds of officers and rune masters around him.

Commanding an army of hundreds of thousands is no easy task, and requires the full cooperation of professional officers and Fu Gong divisions.

The two women on the high platform in the rear glanced at each other, and felt warm in their hearts at the same time, that was her brother, her lover, and their pride, just a few years of work, the changes that occurred in Xin Youtao's body shocked everyone who knew him, Xiao Qingtao sometimes even felt that Xin Youtao had become stranger, but it was Xin Youtao after this change that made her love deeper.

"Maybe Mu Xingqiu will really appear. Xiao Qingtao whispered, she finally understood that what everyone needed was not a certain person or a god, but a hope.

Dark clouds mixed with red and white light slowly drifted in, the sun was obscured as soon as it rose, the horns of the demon clan sounded, and the skin drums of humans thundered.

Far away, a huge bust slowly rose, it was not an ancient god, but a sacrificial king, "There is no demon race, there is no Taoist system, this is a decisive battle between the demon race and the human race!"

The sound reaches everyone's ears with the same clarity and power.

Xin Youtao's response was to sacrifice a paper talisman, with him as the center, the ancient god statues in front of all the soldiers emitted light, whether it was jade, copper, iron, wooden, which was a wooden stick that was beginning to take shape, it emitted the same size of light.

Talisman priests, catapult throwing, soldiers activating magic weapons on high platforms...... Ten thousand spells flew over the army's heads, carrying their faith against an even greater number of sorcery.
