Chapter 55: The Fall of the Three Kingdoms
The next morning, the courtiers of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom met the lord Qi Cong again.
Qi Cong seemed to have lost dozens of pounds in retreat for three days, the whole human figure was erect, his back was bent, his lips were very thin and lost his blood, his cheekbones were high, his eye sockets were deep, and there seemed to be a leisurely ghost fire in his eyes, which looked very weird against the black eyeliner.
The prime minister asked astringently, "Lord of the country, what are those monsters outside the city?"
Qi Cong glanced at the prime minister coldly, and the prime minister was like being hit in the chest by a giant hammer, and his blood was churning and he almost fell to the ground.
"What kind of monsters? Those are the former people of my White Lotus Holy Kingdom, which are caused by praying for the blessings of the dead White Lotus people after I became holy, so that they have entered a kind of immortal and immortal mysterious realm, this is the magic power of the future god, which can turn an ordinary dead person into an immortal and immortal life!"
All the courtiers were pale, and they didn't dare to say a word, the doctrine of the White Lotus Sect was to cultivate the future and not the world, but there were few courtiers who really believed in this set of statements.
The reason why they followed the White Lotus Sect was mostly for the sake of glory and wealth, if the future immortality that the lord said was like those zombie spirits outside the city, I believe that no one would believe in the White Lotus Sect at all.
Qi Cong coldly glanced at the ministers and said, "Motherless Mother, Vacuum Hometown! Your faith is not pious enough, and you have never believed that I have divine power and can communicate with immortals, right?"
Last night I performed a miracle for the people of the White Lotus and repelled the siege of the coalition army, why don't you congratulate me?
Qi Cong's strange appearance and behavior today, coupled with the zombies outside the city, were already enough to deter, and all the courtiers immediately knelt down in a tremble, loudly praising the divine power of the lifeless old mother, and congratulating the lord of the country on his great achievements in protecting the people of the White Lotus Holy Country, and the saints of the Divine Monarch for thousands of generations.
At this time, Qi Cong no longer cares about the attitude of the ministers, since he has opened the seal of the underground palace, he has no way out, it doesn't matter if he becomes a god or a demon, anyway, in the end, he can't escape the fate of being enslaved and dominated, he is now thinking about why not have fun in time when life is short.
"All Aiqing is flat, our army won a great victory last night, and the whole country should celebrate, and the decree will be returned to Suicheng to set up a banquet and carnival for three days!"
The prime minister hurriedly responded: "The ministers obey the order." But my lord, how can the friendly forces outside the city entertain ......?"
Qi Cong thought for a moment, and said with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, "Throw the corpses in the city that haven't had time to be buried out of the city to thank our powerful allies." ”
The ministers felt a burst of despair, those monsters in the city need to be fed with dead corpses, war is good, how to feed them in peacetime?
"Huh, do you want to disrespect the decree?"
"The ministers don't dare, and they execute it immediately. ”
In Qi Cong's strange laughter, the subordinates of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom retreated together, and everyone did not disperse when they left the palace, but walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion together.
Guisui City has been in chaos, although the coalition forces outside the city have retreated, but the panic in the hearts of the people has not been alleviated at all, compared to those monsters under the city, they want to face the coalition forces of several countries.
Listening to the announcement of the officials, those monsters under the city are the divine soldiers invited by the lord of the country, and they will not die or die, and they will definitely defeat the coalition forces of several countries and protect the White Lotus Holy Kingdom for thousands of generations.
The people were a little relieved, and then the officials began to distribute food and wine from house to house, so that everyone could celebrate for three days, and finally dispelled some of the gloom in the city.
It's a pity that the good times didn't come true, and soon there was gossip that the soldiers in the city threw a large number of corpses of soldiers killed in battle to the city to feed the monsters outside the city, and some people said that in the future, the people of the White Lotus Kingdom will become the appearance of monsters under the city after they die.
Soon, some people recognized a certain zombie as the youngest son of the old Li family in the east of the city, who fell to his death on a horse last year, and for some reason became a divine soldier! Many zombies were recognized by their relatives one after another.
Panic and suspicion quickly built up among the people, and many wanted to go to the city to identify their relatives, but the royal army blocked the walls and prevented ordinary people from approaching.
But they couldn't stop the sergeant from being killed and there were relatives outside the city, and a tragedy occurred at noon that day, when a soldier saw his brother, who had been dead for a few years, appear under the city, and went down to the city to recognize each other, but was directly killed and devoured by the zombies that his brother had turned into, causing panic in the army.
The mages at all levels in the army and the sacrificial wine were appeased and preached the teachings in a timely manner: the White Lotus Sect has no father, no mother and no relatives, all of them are created by the lifeless old mother, and they will enjoy the blessings of penance in this life and the next life, and their souls will live in a vacuum, and they will be in Dongshengzhou, and they will only be able to attain the Tao when they are liberated.
But such a doctrine was not convincing at all in this case, and even the most fanatical believers were shaken by this time, and the people and soldiers became more and more panicked.
However, the lord of the country, Qi Cong, and the courtiers ignored these crises, and everyone drank and had fun, as if they wanted to seize the time to enjoy all the things in the world that they had not yet enjoyed.
Guisui City spent a day and a night in a strange atmosphere, and the monsters under the city were quite honest, and did not break through the inner city gate or climb the city wall, but just wandered in the outer city area, killing all living creatures and devouring all flesh and blood.
Early the next morning, the sound of the battle horn spread throughout Guisui City, and the coalition forces that had retreated the previous day regained their strength and returned to kill.
The heavy cavalry led the way, followed by the hoplites, all using heavy axes and hammers, with the aim of smashing or cutting off the heads of the zombie hordes in one blow, so that they could be killed completely, and if only the rest of the body was damaged, the zombies could still fight.
Zombies began to swarm together, they were unconscious, so they did not have the concept of military formations, and the reason for gathering was to smell the approach of a large number of creatures on the battlefield, and the desire to hunt collectively made them gather.
Because it was fighting zombies, the coalition forces eliminated the links such as calling the battle and scolding, and began to charge the battle after the preparation was completed.
Last night, the coalition was caught off guard by a zombie night attack, killing and wounding many people, many of whom became part of the zombie army overnight and participated in this battle.
Before the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry went to the battlefield, Sima in the army repeatedly told him not to be soft when he encountered zombies turned into former colleagues on the battlefield, those things are no longer human, they are inhuman monsters, and if they are a little soft-hearted, they will lose their lives.
But after all, the pawn is a flesh-and-blood person, and there will be a little hesitation when he encounters the new zombie of his former colleague who rushes to the forefront and is eager to strengthen himself.
This hesitation cost many people their lives, and the follow-up fighters believed that these zombies were inhumane and would no longer hesitate when they attacked.
The battle between the two sides was fierce and evenly matched, and in the afternoon the Tang army first used firearms, and then other coalition forces also invested a large number of firearms, but in such a cold environment, the effect of firearms was not good, and it could not play a great role in killing zombies.
They only need to roll in the snow to extinguish the fire on their bodies, and some of the fierce zombies ignore the flames on their bodies and still bravely fight the Terran soldiers.
The two sides fought from morning to dusk, and the Terrans were still unable to defeat the zombie army, because the Terrans had poor eyesight at night, and after trying their best to retrieve some of the corpses of the dead soldiers, the Terran coalition finally retreated, and withdrew directly for thirty miles as last night.
That night, the people who lived near the inner city walls of Suicheng could hear the sound of zombies eating outside the city, as well as the roars of some newly transformed zombies, and dozens of mentally ill patients appeared among the people that night.
The defenders on Guisui City were no better, they got closer, and were ordered to monitor the movements of the zombies, seeing the zombies eating and transforming into zombies, some of the weak-willed soldiers killed themselves on the spot, and begged their comrades to burn their bodies before they died, fearing that they would become a member of the zombie army.
After that, the battle of Guisui City went on intermittently for more than ten days, and the number of zombies outside the city not only did not decrease, but the number of zombies increased.
On the 14th day, the coalition forces outside the city finally dispersed, and until the correct method of warfare was found, it would be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers to continue fighting in this way, and no one could afford to fight this kind of war of attrition.
The coalition forces outside the city were dispersed, and the city of Guisui was saved, and it stands to reason that the soldiers and civilians in the city should be very happy, but they are not happy.
The enemy is retreating, but what about those monsters outside the city, no one knows if they will attack the city when they run out of food, if the zombies keep besieging the city, the people in the city will die sooner or later if they can't get out of the city.
Just when everyone was uneasy, the mages of the White Lotus Sect at all levels went out of the city with special banners and flags to guide the zombies across the inner city and directly into the underground palace of the palace city, and then closed the palace door.
Although there were one or two cases of zombies hurting mages during this period, the whole process was quite smooth.
Qi Cong was very satisfied with the result of this zombie war, and while accepting the congratulations of the courtiers, he issued a decree requiring the people to go to the government for the record of the death of someone in the family from now on, and the corpse should be handed over to the government for excess.
Most people in their right minds can think of what the purpose of the government's collection of corpses is, but they dare not speak out, for fear that they will become one of the zombies before the objection is raised.
There are many soldiers and civilians who are not firm enough in their hearts, and they are secretly planning how to escape from Guisui City, and they do not want to become zombies from the bottom of their hearts.
Guisui City was saved, but a large part of the territory of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom was lost, and there were no zombie guards in other towns and villages except the capital, and they had long been carved up by the Terran coalition army.
In order to prevent these races from becoming a member of the zombie army, the countries immediately moved the people of the White Lotus Holy Country to their own borders, and used the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness to resist the expansion of the zombie army.
When the White Lotus Holy Kingdom was besieged by the coalition forces, the other Three Holy Kingdoms were also attacked by the extraterritorial countries and the Three Kingdoms of China.
The strength of the Three Kingdoms was far inferior to that of the White Lotus Holy Kingdom, and when they were caught off guard, the Tianli Kingdom and the Wenxiang Kingdom were directly attacked, and the Red Yang Kingdom was trapped in the palace city for a long time.
Although the Three Kingdoms eventually released an army of zombies, they were smaller in scale and far less numerous than the zombies in the White Lotus Country.
The zombie armies of Tianli and Wenxiang are constantly decreasing in number in the war of attrition, and they will soon be wiped out.
Although the Hongyang Kingdom barely maintained the situation, it was besieged by a large army, and it was no longer able to break through and counterattack, and the coalition forces were concentrating firearms, preparing to destroy the balance of power in one fell swoop, and the time for the collapse of the Hongyang Kingdom was approaching.
The three kingdoms had asked the White Lotus Holy Kingdom for help, but the White Lotus Kingdom was too busy to take care of itself at this time, how could they have the extra energy to rescue the other three countries, they could only ask them to go thousands of miles, and if they could escape to Guisui, the White Lotus Kingdom would provide them with shelter.
A rebellion of the four countries was quickly quelled under the joint strangulation of the foreign countries and the three kingdoms of China.
