Without the protection of the old ancestor peak's spell, the three-headed unicorn was completely exposed to the eyes of mortals, they were not stage frightened at all, they raised their heads proudly, walking around the barracks curiously, and the crowd avoided everywhere they passed, and anyone who dared to stop within ten steps had the opportunity to see the long sharp teeth of the two adult unicorns and the posture of the little unicorn ready to pounce, although it was only a few years old, it was already about the same size as its mother, only a little smaller than its father.
But it was the three of them that gave the defenders of Broken Stream City the greatest confidence and supported some of the soldiers to stand still, as for General Mu from the capital, they were frightened as soon as they opened their mouths: there was nowhere to escape, the demon clan attacked the entire human world, and there was no such scene in the most terrifying nightmare.
Shen Hao's eyes kept following the three-headed unicorn, but his ears were listening to Mu Xingqiu's words, and he couldn't help but wonder if the effect would be better if he opened his mouth, but he remained silent, knowing that Mu Xingqiu's ability was more than that.
Huang Duwei really wished that he could be twenty years younger, at that time he had too much courage to use up, and he couldn't wait to give a little to others, shouting every day to fight with demons, unlike now, just hearing the words "demon soldiers attacking" made his legs weak. The javelin thrown by the flying demon in front of the gate of the castle guard mansion burned for half an hour, during which no one dared to approach or try to extinguish it, and it was at that time that Huang Duwei's confidence in General Mu fell to the bottom, even when he saw the qilin, he did not fully recover.
Mu Xingqiu looked at this group of soldiers who were almost a rabble, and after some of them were almost crying and their feelings were a little steady, he continued: "Those who want to escape from Broken Flow City, you can leave now, I don't need cowards to help me defend this city." ”
If Mu Xingqiu wanted to use this method to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers, it would be a fiasco, the soldiers were not ashamed of "cowards" at all, and immediately nearly half of them put down their weapons, as long as one person stepped forward, they would all follow and leave the barracks, even if there was nowhere to escape. You can still live longer on the run than you can on the run.
"I'm actually farming. A soldier said loudly that the military discipline in Broken Stream City had been in ruin for a long time, and ordinary soldiers were not afraid to speak in front of the general, "You give me a hoe and I will use it in my business, swords and guns? ”
The soldiers agreed with each other and declared their true occupations, either farmers or traders. There were more than 300 soldiers, and less than 60 could really hold the sword.
Captain Huang's face had not been of normal color this day, and then it turned red again, and he approached General Mu, "The soldiers of our Xuanfu Army here are hereditary, and they can't compare with the frontier." ”
Mu Xingqiu nodded. Patiently listening to the soldiers' complaints, no one has left the barracks for the time being, he felt that this was a good sign, so he raised his right arm and signaled that he wanted to speak, "I only ask one thing, when the demon soldiers are killed." Will you be open because you're not real soldiers?"
No one squeaked anymore.
"When you escape from Broken Stream, will you be able to take your fertile land and shops with you?"
The soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said with a tangled face: "We can't beat the demon soldiers, they can fly, they can set fires, let's ...... There are only three unicorns. ”
"Demon soldiers can fly, we have bows and arrows, demon soldiers can set fire. We can dodge, and there aren't many flying demons, and our enemies are still from the ground. Mu Xingqiu said.
"That can't be beaten, the demon force is infinite, and it can also be demonic, and there are more than ten of them like me. "The soldiers still don't have much confidence.
"There are even fewer demon soldiers who can do witchcraft, and we also have a talisman master. ”
Liu Ding is not there. He was still working hard in the arsenal to write more notes, the only requirement was a jar of wine, and his energy and ability did boost some morale.
The soldiers hesitated, weighed. In essence, they are still ordinary people, and they have no enthusiasm for war.
Shen Hao whispered, "Give them money." ”
Mu Xingqiu took out the cloth bag that Lan Qizhang gave him, raised it above his head, and whistled at the three-headed unicorn, this was a way to summon horses, and the unicorn actually understood the meaning of this sound, the little unicorn immediately ran over, and the adult unicorn walked slowly with solemn steps.
The soldiers stepped out of the way and watched the unicorn up close again, their confidence a little more.
Not knowing if the horses in Muma Valley could survive the attack of the demon clan, Mu Xingqiu forced himself to abandon this fruitless thought, took out a handful of gold and silver dust from the bag, and fed the greedy little unicorn.
There was a fire in the barracks, which shone so that Mu Xingqiu's hand flickered, attracting everyone's attention, and the little unicorn stretched out his tongue and swept away half of the light at once.
Shen Hao admired Mu Xingqiu's quick wit, but he was also a little worried, Lan Qizhang clearly said that the gold and silver dust should be fed in the morning.
The two adult qilins walked over and stopped the little qilin behind him, not allowing it to eat any more, and not eating it himself, just staring at Mu Xingqiu, as if accusing him of being too indulgent.
Mu Xingqiu continued to pour gold and silver dust on his palm, and he didn't care if it fell to the ground, until the pile on the ground far exceeded the holding capacity of the cloth bag, showing that it was not an ordinary cloth bag, he stopped, put away the bag, flipped his palm, and fell to the ground, and then clapped his hands, "Hold the Broken Flow City, thank you not only the people, but also the royal family of Xijie, the prince himself is in the city, this is just something to feed the unicorn, he has something better." ”
In front of everyone's eyes, the gold and silver dust on the ground was blown away by the wind, and in the face of such unconscionable profligacy and waste, the soldiers, who were farmers and traders, were almost angry, and at the same time they were also warm.
Duwei Huang licked his lips, "The capital will send reinforcements sooner or later, right?"
"The capital is fighting against the main force of the demon army, this is the biggest support, we only need to face a small number of demon soldiers, if there is really a large number of demon soldiers killed, reinforcements will come. ”
The soldiers picked up their weapons from the ground, and their confidence increased a little more, and one soldier stepped forward and asked, "Are you a unicorn general?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded, and touched the little unicorn's body, it ate all the gold and silver dust that could be swallowed in the ground and in the air, and was sniffing around the human body, hoping to find a little more.
"You're going to fight, aren't you?" asked another soldier, both of whom had experience, and the commander was always inciting and hiding in the safety of the rear.
"We're going to be at the front. Mu Xingqiu doesn't know how to arrange troops, he only knows that if he wants to gain trust and respect, he has to take the lead.
"Fight it. ”
"Isn't it just dozens or hundreds of demon soldiers? The Frontier Xuanfu Army can fight, and we can fight too!"
The problem of morale was partially solved, and now it was General Mu's turn to choose people, nearly 300 soldiers, nearly half of whom were old and weak. Rather than letting them mess up the battlefield, it is better to stay in the rear and perform other tasks.
Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao selected a hundred soldiers and handed them over to Huang Duwei to re-form, and they took the Qilin to meet Liu Ding, the Fu Gong Master.
The candle burned in the hut, Liu Ding's eyebrows were tightened, his sleeves were rolled up high, and he scribbled on the paper as if he had a deep hatred. The hand holding the pen moves quickly and slowly, and every time I finish the last stroke, I always have to ponder for a moment before lifting the pen. There were two veterans standing next to him, one was laying paper and ink for him, and the other was holding a wine bowl, which was brought to the mouth of the Fu Master from time to time.
"There are eighteen levels of talismans. Liu Ding heard the footsteps and didn't even look at them. "Depending on the coherence of the mind of the master at the time of writing, it is of course best to be rock-solid from the beginning to the end, and that is the perfection charm, but unfortunately very few people can do it. Then there are one, two, or even seventeen truncated characters, and if there are too many truncations, the written characters are useless. ”
Liu Ding raised his head, and his expression became more and more indignant. "I think I have written at least eleven talismans, why is the evaluation of the talisman sixteen? Eight years, a full eight years, and the crown of my head has not increased by one level!"
Liu Ding pointed to the top of his head, and suddenly remembered that the talisman crown had already been lost, so he couldn't help but sigh and threw down the pen, "Let's get here today." Writing down again is just a waste of paper, the mind is messed up, the mind is messed up, this is the taboo of the Fu Gong Master. ”
Shen Hao was a Taoist priest of the Discipline Discipline, and he immediately had no good impression of this untidy and arrogant Fu Master.
"If you can't write, just rest. Mu Xingqiu walked over, he couldn't see the quality of the talisman, he only cared about the quantity. "How many?"
"Fifty-four pieces of paper talismans commonly used by the Xuanfu army, thirty-one pieces of armor, including ten demon swords and guns, that's it. There are no good things in Broken Flow City, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are the cheapest goods, and I have written a few scraps, but even if I can write a perfection charm, it is not very powerful. ”
"This is already very good, what we have to deal with is a group of ordinary demon soldiers, and we don't need the consummation charm you said for the time being. ”
Liu Ding pressed one hand on the table, and the expression on his face turned from indignation to sadness, "It's enough, this is also the idea of the Longbin Club, so it has fallen to the point where it is today, a huge broken flow city, and I can't find a few decent talisman armors, alas." ”
"Well said!" Xin Youtao stepped in, nodded to Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao, and came to Liu Ding, "The dim old people of the Xijie Kingdom Dragon Guest Association should be sober, we need young talents like you." ”
Liu Ding was stunned for a moment, and recognized that this was the prince he had seen in Xiaoerbao a few years ago, and when he set up an ambush to kill the demon, he was not brave at all, let alone today's cynicism, his face couldn't help but blush, and he was just about to kneel, but was supported by Xin Youtao.
"Your name is Liu Ding, right? There must be an opportunity to do anything, the demon soldiers invaded Xijie Country, maybe it is an opportunity to save the Longbin Society, maybe a great cause will start in this Broken Flow City. ”
His Royal Highness the Prince has a much greater influence than the general, and Liu Ding was pleasantly surprised, humbling and boasting for a while, and some incoherent.
Xin Youtao gladly accepted the allegiance of Master Fu and ordered the two veterans to send Liu Ding back to his room to rest.
There are no outsiders in the arsenal, Shen Hao shook his head, "I really don't adapt to this set of mortals, do you have to learn to lie before doing anything?"
Mu Xingqiu and Xin Youtao glanced at each other, in less than a day, both of them had told several lies, Xin Youtao and Shen Hao's relationship was much closer than before, so he was not angry, haha laughed: "This is not called lying, this is called unfulfilled promises, Mu Xingqiu, I heard that you have made a lot of such promises for the Xijie royal family." ”
"Don't let me be a liar. Mu Xingqiu said with a smile, although he is also a Taoist priest, he has no special aversion to the "mortal world", "The royal family of Xijie will have to realize it in the future." ”
"Of course, Broken Flow City is the territory of the Western Sect, and anyone who contributes to its defense will be rewarded by the royal family. Xin Youtao straightened his expression, "Of course, the premise is that the Xijie royal family still exists, I just got the Feifu message, the royal family's 10,000 purple rune army and 20,000 Xuanfu army were defeated by demon soldiers eight hundred miles north of the capital, and the demon fire mountain continues to advance, and it will be able to reach the capital tomorrow." ”
First the old ancestral peak was destroyed, and then the capital was in danger, and the prince Xin Youtao suffered a double blow, but he seemed very calm, "This means that the demon army will soon divide its forces to capture the cities, and holding the Broken Flow City is not only important to the Pangshan Patriarch Tower, but also to the Xijie Kingdom." ”
