January 12, southeast wind

A hilly area surrounded by a small basin surrounded by the Hope Mountain Range surrounded by a hilly area surrounded by a hill area surrounded by the Tea Castle, and Xiangquan City was in the center of the relatively gentle land, gradually increasing to the side of the Tea Castle.

In the early spring, before the snow melted, there were already troops marching in the vast forest and snow.

Thousands of people marched along a rough and narrow forest mountain road, full of spirit and murderous aura, and arrived at the town under the fortress at noon.

The unprecedented red green dragon battle flag fluttered in the array, this flag was fierce, revealing a blood-colored color, attracting the attention of many citizens and hunters, all of whom shouted: "What a strong murderous aura...... Which one is this?"

Someone has sharp eyes: "Look at the black horse first...... Isn't that our lord?"

"Yes, yes, there is also the Xianmen female cultivator who is with him later, hey, it seems that there are three more ......" This is a curious gossip person.

Some old Cheng pondered: "At least 3,000 soldiers and horses, this is the ...... Isn't the Winter Defense Counterattack coming to an end?"

In the eyes of many observations and speculations, the commander of the tea castle led a team of three hundred soldiers to run down, and when he saw that Ye Qing was dressed in military uniform, his face was happy: "The lord wants to personally go east?"

"Yes, it's a little tight, but it's not too late...... Tell us about the latest development. Ye Qing looked at him.

"Yes!" the commander did not doubt him, and was overjoyed.

Ye Qing saw that he was high-spirited, nodded with satisfaction, did not delay the time, and ordered a Han army general to hand over the defense to him - it was not that he did not trust the original team of Xianmen, but in any case, the back road must always be controlled in the hands of the familiar descendants, and it is always easier to cooperate if something happens.

And the commander of the thousand is just happy to accompany the team, he is worried that he has no military merits this year, who is rare to guard the fortress and clean up the savages! No matter how powerful the hunters are, they are also civilian troops, how can they be more efficient than the army killing!

The army did not stay long in the town of Chabao, rested for a while, and continued to move forward after using the water, at this time Li Niang said: "Your Majesty, there are people following behind, it seems to be a team of hunters." ”

Ye Qing looked back, and sure enough, he saw many hunters, carrying dry food on their backs, holding bows and knives, spontaneously gathered behind the army, their eyes were blazing.

"Just let them come along. Ye Qing said with a smile that he did not expel them, and even sent people to guide them.

The commander of the tea castle just now handed over the defense and led the way in the team: "After passing the gap under the fortress, even if you break through the eastern edge of the basin and reach the front line...... Although the army had not set foot in the front, at the end of the winter defense counterattack last year, his subordinates went to explore the terrain and military situation with the real people of Dongxiaomen, and there was a savage lair hundreds of miles away in the front, called the Luo Manbu. ”

"Since the tea castle out of the gorge, and then all the way to the east is the reckless primeval forest, the miasma settlement is much better when the snow has not melted, but because there is no old road in previous years, it is still very difficult to open up a new road in the dense forest, it is expected that half a decade, that is, five days to arrive at the ......"

Ye Qing didn't care about the time of the journey, he only cared about the enemy's combat strength: "What is the strength of this Luo Barbarian Division?"

"Thousands of people...... Maybe 2,000 people is not a big tribe among the savages. The commander of the tea castle introduced, his face was a little regretful: "At this time last year, the elite magician group of Dongxiaomen also tried to attack, but it was not captured, in fact, as long as the army drove over, it could be destroyed in two days at most." That is, the road is far, the army has no time to attack, and there are stronger enemies behind them, in case they hear the news and come to fight an entangled battle, and the miasma rises after the snow melts, the army is in a bit of a dangerous situation. ”

When the team left the gorge, there was no road ahead, and the commander couldn't help but look over: "I'm familiar with the woodland, go ahead and open the way......"

The blazing white light flashed, the ground rumbled and shook, and then the mushroom cloud rose, and the commander swallowed the words, his eyes widened: "Lei Fa is strong, isn't this a waste......"

The soldiers of the Han army around him were all laughing, and they only cared about following the front team eastward, and Lu Xun explained to him on the side: "That's not Lei Fa, it's an explosive product of Taoism." ”

Under the blue sky, the forest canopy is covered with snow, and the sunlight reflects and refracts, making it look like a crystal clear ice field.

The 'boom' sound continued to be heard on the ice field, a continuous stream of small thunderbolts, slush splashes, wood branches, grenadiers carved a new path directly through the primeval forest, and the sorcerers calmed down the slightly potholed terrain, and then the main force followed.

The efficient advance speed turned the dense forest into a smooth road, and the commander was dumbfounded: "Can you still do this...... Good means, lord!"

"Support...... Is there a city-state to support them?"

"Yes, two hundred miles deeper, there is a three-city series of alien city-states, this Luo Barbarian Savage Lair is a lair that they deliberately left at the door of their homes as a barrier to block us...... Even according to the results of several tentative attacks by Xianmen, the Aragami of the alien city-state will arrive in half a day, and the city-state army will arrive within three days, which is a decoy. ”

Bait?

Ye Qing was a little surprised when he heard this, and he thought that he had summed up the wisdom of war, and this civilization was considered to be very high, so he couldn't help asking: "How is the strength?"

The commander racked his brains to recall, and only said with an impression: "We have not investigated carefully, but we know that it is slavery, and there are more than 50,000 nobles and commoners, and there are 150,000 or 60,000 savages and alien slaves who have been conquered...... Slaves can't fight, nobles and commoners, all soldiers can pull out more than 30,000 soldiers, and it's not like the simple sacrifice in the savage tribes...... It is a combination of ancestral spirit sacrifice and desolate beast worship...... The aliens call them Aragami, and some of them are stronger than the average Yang God real person. ”

Early man-made gods?

Ye Qing listened thoughtfully, thought about it, and asked Qianqian with a smile: "There should be a lot of divine power accumulated in a hundred years, do you have an appetite?"

To her husband's joke, Qianqian just glanced at him: "The Xuanhuang Qi of 950,000 Heavenly Gong is not enough......? I just need to absorb the source power of the green vein, and I can try it...... After assimilation, you can absorb their clan qi, and it is very good to refine the Xuanyuan Sword. ”

"What about you, Wen Ji?"

Cai Wenji was on the battlefield for the first time, and she was a little nervous, almost following in unison: "I...... Listen to Sister Qian. ”

"Alas, the picky eater......"

Out of the gorge, there is no old roadbed convenience, and it is completely in the virgin land to open up a new road.

A road that was neither wide nor too narrow went straight to the east, and the speed was almost no different from that of a normal march, but it was difficult to turn around on the first line of the road in the dense forest, so the real people who accompanied the army rose into the air and closely monitored the situation in the vicinity for one or twenty miles.

In fact, Qianqian's five-layer spirit rhino reflection is the most accurate and safe, she is like a fish in water in this environment with abundant green vein aura, and her detection and concealment power crush the storage of a qiē immortal.

But there are 3,000 northern troops on this trip, and 500 southern army guards are also selected to accompany them, and there are a large number of small teams of hunters who are moving behind them, all of them are like sharks smelling blood, and they bring their own dry food with the army.

Therefore, Ye Qing did not stop Xianmen Zhenren from investigating, he only stayed in the Chinese army with Qianqian, and by the way, he took Chuanlin's notes to record the information along the way, in addition to habitually seeing if there were mineral deposits, he also looked for a suitable location for the establishment of a new city......

Seeing the coach so calm and calm, the tension of racing against time was also reduced a lot, and the atmosphere in the team was even more confident.

The speed of the march was very fast, and in the afternoon, the army left the tea castle and went deep for thirty miles, and a magician reported: "Lord, the former army scouts have found a few wandering savage tribes, do you want to encircle and suppress them?"

"Regardless of the scattered savages around, we don't have to take those low-efficiency exploits ourselves, we can just leave them to the hunters...... We go to get land and people. ”

"Wan Sheng!" shouted the soldiers.

"Wan Sheng—Wan Sheng—"

A small group of hunters shouted in the back, their eyes eager, full of thirst for land, wealth, and points.

The team did not stop at all, heading towards the lair of the savages of the Luo Barbarian tribe in the seventy miles of snow forest.

In that direction, a few pairs of wild eyes saw the invading army, horrified by the sound of its woods opening a path, and gray shadows rushed back to the lair.

Immediately, the wolf smoke rose and spread to the east.

At dusk, the wolf smoke arrived three hundred miles east of the tea castle, and a special signal showed the direction and number of the incoming enemy.

In this plain dense forest winds a large river, on the bank of the river stands a large city, the earthen city wall, around the open up a large area of cultivated fields, and the city is densely populated, many flat-roofed mud houses are clustered around the middle of a bald pyramid, made of white boulders, the flame on the top is not extinguished day and night, and the majestic and noble atmosphere is entrenched on the tower.

Further north is the bustling slave market, where the samurai who escort the slaves here are all in awe and speak softly.

What is most lacking in the plains and dense forests is such a thing as stone, which is mined in the mountains further east, transported here little by little, and finally built seamlessly, so that the building consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and sets off the power and glory of the master, which is the ...... The temple of the Aragami.

Compared with the awe and softness of the people passing by below, the magnates in the city lord's mansion gathered in a circle, but they were noisy: "...... Aliens!

"This is our land!"

"Please come out of the Aragami ...... Please send down divine punishment!" said a young nobleman fanatically.

Hearing the casual séance, a woman in a snow-white sacrificial robe frowned and said, "The gods are still resting and recovering...... Don't bother. ”

"It's different from the past, this year's aliens are very strong, we have been defeated once, and we almost can't run back......" someone looked stupid.

There was also a nobleman dressed in military uniform, who calmly said: "What then? Winter has passed, and the snow is about to melt, and the evil demons of the alien race are coming at this time, so that they will not return!"

"The Luo Barbarian Department reported that the enemy's strength is only three thousand, and it will not be able to reach our city-state before the snow melts, at most let ......" said a nobleman, his eyes flashing cunningly.

"You can't give up the Luo Manbu, they're good hounds......"

The chaotic voices in the venue surged, all kinds of intentions, and the three city lords were a little tired.

But this is the council, and in the end the quarrel was probably tired, and the nobles and priests looked at each other, and still put forward a voice of comprehensive opinion: "Let the Luo Barbarians resist, lure them in, and we will be defeated and retreated in one fell swoop while the enemy is tired from attacking the lair...... As before, God will bless us with victory. ”

"Good. ”

The city lord sitting on the throne in the middle bowed his head slightly and looked at the two city lords: "What do you two think?"

"Agreed. ”

"As you wish. ”

Since the opinion was agreed, the big city lord immediately made a decision: "The meeting is dismissed, and the two city lords are invited to gather the army and ...... within three days."

At this moment, a powerful red light descended on the hall.

A half-human, half-beast figure opened its eyes, its body was like a goose with snow-white wings, like a cow with thick cloven hooves, like a snake with fine gold scales, but on its head was a strange-looking human, wounded, still undiminished bloodthirsty and brutal, but also sacred and brilliant.

These two senses are intertwined with hell and heaven, and the combination of blessings makes mortals take their breath and shudder.

"God...... The gods are above...... "Everyone, including the city lord, knelt down and asked in a trembling voice, "What divine revelation do you have?"

"The alien race that came west...... Let me be disgusted, fate will stake me, they will blaspheme the countenance of God...... Instead of me, go and kill them. ”

"Yes, my God!"

"Kill the light! kill all the ...... at any cost" Aragami roared, and his face suddenly changed: "No, there is a woman in there who wants to bring me alive." ”

Aragami's moodiness and occasional self-logical contradictions, believers are used to it, the oracle does not say, they dare not ask what kind of woman it is, only echo in a loud voice: "Yes, yes...... It is our glory to sacrifice for you, we will kill everyone and bring that woman to you!"

Aragami was very satisfied when he heard this, and as soon as the light and shadow dispersed and disappeared into the hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the three city lords with some concern: "It's easy to kill the light, but the oracle is ...... What women are you going to bring?"

The lord of the city groaned slightly, clapped his hands, and said, "Kill all the men, take all the women captive, leave them alone, and offer them to the gods as they are." ”

"Got it......"

The meeting dispersed one after another, basically divided into three waves, and the three city lords looked at it with some worry.

The primitive city-states had a weak sense of ethnic identity, and although they were all people from the first cities, as they captured two enemies one after another, the migrated people naturally formed new factions.

These two generations are still dominated by the leaders of the old city-states, but friction and estrangement are constantly generated, and there is no one-way intermarriage and integration of the national and wild systems, no patrilineal labels of sacrificial origin and political identity, and it is completely dependent on the memories of the living to maintain the identity of the same race, and it is difficult to maintain the recognition of the same race in the third and fourth generations......

Or for the new city in the future, the hard-working and capable male and female slaves in their own homes are more pleasing to the eye than those cousins in the outer city, and the distant relatives are not as good as the close neighbors, and the human affection is so realistic.

If Ye Qing was here, it would be clear at a glance - if they want to maintain and maintain the city-state system, the only way they can go is to continue to worship a desolate god, let him transcend the limitations of the gods of the earth, and lift the god domain from the underworld to appear on the ground, and the gods will walk freely on the water from then on, spreading glory and unifying the city-state.

In fact, it is equivalent to letting the Aragami possess the national fortune and give up a part of the national fortune for it to swallow, so as to achieve the stability of the core of civilization.

The samurai of these alien city-states had not yet realized such a clear idea, but after they recognized the Aragami as the master, they had already been invisibly impregnated and instinctively and consciously developed in this direction.

The three city lords are still of the older generation, and they stayed in the secret room to have a small meeting and negotiated with each other: "The daughters and virgins of each family are also selected for the Aragami ...... God wants to accept foreign women to reproduce and have children, we can't refuse, but Aragami has a lot of energy, and we can't let foreign women give birth to too much, and we want our own women to receive more seeds......"

"Yes, our ancestors have the blood of God in our ancestors, and our people are the future gods...... The descendants of foreigners can only be vassals at most, not gods......"

"The blood is not strong enough...... We multiply and expand, and the power of our ancestors' innate gods is constantly weakening, and no means can make up for it, only to make more aliens believe in the gods of the wilderness, so that the gods in the seeds of the energy of the gods are more abundant, and our women are more impregnated...... The power of the gods of the Aragami can compensate for the dilution of the power of our ancestors, and our offspring will be stronger......"

"The final day we will become the Protoss, ruling over all heretics and enjoying their women. ”

"The womb of heretics is born for our gods, but they are only slaves of gods, they must be beautiful, white and pious, and have no authority...... Not being able to recognize the offspring they give birth to will thin out our divine blood...... Neither the savages nor the aliens deserve to be on a par with us, they just need to be good slaves and vassals. ”

These voices dissipated in the secret room, but their will and influence were much wider, and for a hundred years, this land had a policy of assimilation of "gods and men" that was diametrically opposed to the assimilation policy of the "national field".

The goal of the "Chinese people-savages" system is to give the daughters of savages to the Chinese gentlemen to enjoy, so as to sow seeds and reproduce the Han nationality.

The goal of the "Aragami - City-State" system is to give the daughters of the countrymen to the desolate beast god body to enjoy, so as to sow seeds and reproduce the gods.

These two modes of assimilation of man and god are diametrically opposed, and at present, Tu Hanchen chose the Biqu www.biquge.info Pavilion of the cloth in the world in Dongzhou, and the two models are opposed, and there will be a struggle.

In terms of assimilation, in a world where the Dao Law is not holy, it should be that the fecundity of the Chinese people is ten million times stronger than that of the desolate beasts, forming the overwhelming assimilation of the bloodline.

But in the immortal world, because the strong have extraordinary energy, they all have strong and efficient reproduction and expansion power, and there may not be a gap in quantity.

Ye Qing is facing this at this time.
