In the process of fighting, both sides suffered losses.

Among them, the four realm masters of the Hou God Department were beheaded by Zhang Guifang, and one was killed by Jiang Wenhuan!

In the Eastern Expeditionary Army, in addition to Zhang Guifang and Jiang Wenhuan, who maintained a complete victory, there were several meritorious princes and generals who rushed out of battle, but they died on the spot because of their poor strength.

In general, the losses of the Houshen Department far exceeded that of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the foundation had already been damaged.

And the loss of the Eastern Crusade army was harmless and did not have much impact.

In the process of the two sides holding each other, Deng Jiugong of the Southern Route Army won many battles, swept away a large area of the Dongyi tribe south of Jishan, and a steady stream of prisoners and wealth were escorted to Qingzhou.

Every day, the Dongyi people are suffering huge losses.

Jishan!

The royal castle was built against the foot of the mountain, and there was a shrine near the mountainside.

This temple is tall and majestic, and although the lines are simple, it has a sense of simplicity and desolation.

This is the core of the Houshen Ministry.

In the main hall of the temple, a totemic statue with three heads and six arms is enshrined.

The three-headed and six-armed idol is majestic, covered with animal skins, and on each of its six arms, it holds six kinds of weapons: a sword, a spear, a bow, a shield, a flag, and an axe.

In the legend of the Dongyi people, the six weapons held by the totem god are the blood god knife, the golden light spear, the sun-shooting bow, the tiger armor shield, the white bone flag, and the mountain opening axe!

This is the divine weapon possessed by the ancestors of the Dongyi people in ancient times.

Later, during the reign of King Yu, in order to prevent their land from being flooded, when King Yu combed the mountains and rivers, they took the initiative to offer the axe of the gods.

Later, when the Great Xia Dynasty was established, the power of the Dongyi people reached its peak, and even exiled the human emperor Taikang, usurping the orthodox position of the human race.

However, soon the Dongyi people were counterattacked, and after the poor tribe was destroyed, most of the Dongyi people's divine soldiers were lost.

In the side hall.

The Spirit King of the Houshen Department is convening the high-level deliberations of the tribe.

The Spirit King has a burly body, a wide mouth, and his beard flies wildly, and he looks like a rough and reckless man on the surface.

However, the gleam that flashed in his eyes from time to time proved that he was not that simple.

On the left and right sides of him, there were the four major witch sacrifices of the Hou God Department, as well as the twelve newly promoted and complete terrain generals.

The twelve generals of the Hou Shen Department are all strong in the realm.

But it didn't mean that they didn't have any other realm masters besides the twelve generals.

After losing five or six generals in a row, the Spirit King promoted several more samurai to supplement. However, the strength of these newly promoted samurai is not as good as the previous twelve generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the merchant has a Heavenly Realm God General in charge, with sharp armor, and only 200,000 soldiers and horses, and he actually suppressed our million-strong army and couldn't move. If this continues, when the other two armies of the merchant return, Jishan King City will be in danger!"

"The four witch priests, and the brothers, I wonder if there is any way you can repel the merchant army and protect the land of our Jishan Mountain?"

Regarding the current situation, the Spirit King was also a little at a loss, and his mind was uncertain and unable to decide, so he invited the high-level of the Hou Shen Department to prepare to discuss countermeasures.

Gu Lin, led by the Four Great Witch Priests, frowned and pondered for a moment.

Then he looked around and said slowly: "For today's plan, if you want to defeat the merchant army and protect the land, the only way to do this is to use the magic arrow!"

"Use the magic arrow? This can't be done, shooting the sun arrow is too important, how can it be light?"

"This ...... Although the magic arrow is an ancient artifact, it is seriously damaged, and it is not so easy to urge it!"

Gu Lin said a word, and everyone in the side hall suddenly shook, and the other two witch priests hurriedly spoke out against it.

The divine arrow in their mouth is the divine arrow of the sun that is matched with the divine soldier's sun-shooting bow.

It is said that this magic arrow has been passed down from ancient times to ancient times, and it was left by Hou Yi, the great god who shot the sun. The divine arrow is indestructible, and it is the treasure of the god department that has been inherited for countless years after Dongyi.

It's just that after the great god Hou Yi shot the sun in ancient times, the divine arrow was seriously damaged, and now it can only barely remain intact, and if it is forcibly urged, the divine arrow is very likely to collapse.

The Divine Arrow is the orthodox symbol of the Houshenbu in the Dongyi tribe, if it is damaged, and the Houshenbu wants to order other tribes, the other tribes will not necessarily obey the order.

It was precisely because the divine arrow was too important that after hearing this, the Spirit King's face turned blue and white, and the thoughts in his heart kept flashing, and he didn't dare to make a decision for a while.

"King, if we don't shoot the Sun Divine Arrow, the merchants' eastern crusade army, we can't repel them at all!"

"When the time comes, Jishan King City, as well as our entire Houshen Ministry's people, will become the slaves of merchants, for the survival of the tribe, even if it is worth paying a big price!"

Gu Lin said in a deep voice, he saw the current situation very clearly, if he didn't use the Sun Shooting Divine Arrow, the Hou Shen Department would definitely be destroyed!

"Great Witch Sacrifice, do you know what price you need to pay if you want to activate the Sun Shooting Divine Arrow? The only thing that can activate the power of the Divine Arrow is to activate the totem gods we worship!"

"The power of the totem gods is vast, we want to manipulate it, we want to lay down the Heavenly God Array, and sacrifice a full 100,000 people with blood!"

"This price is too great!"

The other three witch priests shook their heads and sighed, somewhat disappreciating of Gulin's decision.

Now the people in the royal city are all the people of the Hou Shen Ministry, and if they want to urge the Heavenly God Formation, they must first sacrifice 100,000 people. No one dares to make a rash decision.

"As long as you can repel the merchant army, no matter how big the price is, it will be worth it!"

Gulin still insisted.

When they were deliberating in the temple and couldn't make a decision, there was a sudden burst of cheers outside.

The voice came from outside the city, and it was impassioned.

"What's going on?"

The Spirit King stood up suddenly, frowned, walked to the door of the side hall, and looked in the direction of the outside of the city.

At this moment, a Dongyi warrior rushed at an extremely fast speed, with a hint of fear on his face.

"Oh no, my lord! The merchants' southern route army has arrived, and I have heard those merchants shouting, saying that their northern route army has defeated 400,000 soldiers and horses of Bogu Kingdom, and both armies have won a great victory, and they are about to attack us......

Hearing these news, the expressions of everyone in the side hall changed greatly.

The information that this Dongyi warrior could know was all deliberately released by the merchant army, in order to hit the morale of the Hou Shen Department.

In the side hall, there was a dead silence.

After a while, the Spirit King said faintly, "Great Witch Sacrifice!

The other three witch festivals, as well as the twelve generals, were all pale, silent, bowed down and saluted the Spirit King, and then followed the Gulin Great Witch Festival out of the side hall.

At this time, everyone knew that only the method of the Great Witch Sacrifice of the Ancient Forest had the slightest hope of repelling a strong enemy!

"The life and death of the Hou Shen Department is just a few days!"

The Spirit King clenched his fists, and his furious energy flickered faintly in his fists.

As the leader of the Houshen Department and the leader of the Dongyi tribes, he must win this battle and let the Dongyi tribes continue to continue.
