Chapter 66: Change
Fast as another month passed, and some of the crops that had been planted were ready to be harvested, and the Celestial Empire occupation army and military generously bought all the crops that could be used as grain and grass at a price higher than the market price. As for other building materials such as wood, bamboo, lacquer, etc., a lot of them are also stored. In the past month, Feng and Tunggulas have been desperately urging their subordinate troops to conduct ultra-high-intensity training, but the effect is not very good. Although each soldier has improved his combat effectiveness, from the perspective of cooperation and combat, it is still a vulnerable garbage army.
The Celestial Empire's assassination operations were carried out three more times, and a large number of well-trained mid-level generals of the Black Cloud Empire were assassinated, and the entire army led by the 'Bloody Night' and 'Shenghua' legions had almost come to a standstill under the constant mobilization. The killer group that the Black Cloud Empire bought with a lot of money also launched a frenzied retaliation, but under the defense of a large number of masters of the Celestial Empire, they themselves suffered heavy losses. The casualties of the Celestial Empire's army were only limited to ordinary lower-level generals and so on, and the impact on the overall combat strength was not very great.
Yang Tian was extremely bored, and led 50,000 iron horsemen to launch a harassment operation against the Black Cloud Empire. This time, the operation that was not approved by Qiong Daotian suddenly dispersed the 200,000 militia troops of the Black Cloud Empire by chance. Yang Tian triumphantly was recorded by Qiong Daotian once, and at the same time, he was severely reprimanded. As for the Black Cloud Empire, Feng and Douglas, who were almost mad with anger, were struggling to collect the remnants of the defeated generals, and they were also praying that their emperor could send some truly effective troops over.
Just three or four days after the Celestial Empire army had accumulated a large amount of grain and grass, the envoys of His Majesty the Black Cloud Emperor arrived at Feng and Tunggulas's station. The one who protected him was the black-armored cavalry legion with the title of 'Nightmare', the most powerful of the five legions directly under the royal family of the Black Cloud Empire.
The envoy brought an order that overjoyed von and Douglas, and at the same time made Strongen, the commander of Nightmare, who was looking forward to such an order. The meaning of the top level of the Black Cloud Empire is to let these seven million huge militia teams defend the Central Plains, and more than five million real elite warriors in the Central Plains, under the leadership of the three major legions of 'Nightmare', 'Bloody Night', and 'Shenghua', will launch a general attack on the Celestial Empire army. The commander of the Nightmare, Strojan, was appointed commander of the legion, Douglas was the lieutenant, and Feng, who had just suffered a crushing defeat under the Celestial Empire army, was not very conspicuously idle. However, Strongen, who was well versed in the way of officials, quietly appointed Feng as his second deputy marshal, which made Feng grateful.
The large-scale military mobilization began in the confusion of the Celestial Empire army. Large numbers of Black Cloud Empire militia troops left their current positions and headed for the ghost-infested Central Plains. Feng and Tunggulas secretly rejoiced in their hearts, as long as their subordinates were replaced by those really warlike imperial soldiers, did they still need to be afraid of the Celestial Empire army? As for Stromgen, he was also full of ambition, as long as he could eliminate these foreign warriors, his title should also float up a little, right? The current marquis title is really a bit unworthy of the honor he has received.
Qiong Daotian led a group of elite soldiers, stood on the top of a small hill, and watched from a distance five miles away, the black cloud army of the city swarmed out and drove towards the south. Yang Tian frowned, and asked a little puzzled: "What is this? Did they surrender? Or give all these cities to us......?" I just don't know how many nobles there are in the city. Zeng Guoxuan and a few other guys behind him showed a knowing silver smile and greedy eyes.
Qiong Daotian bowed his head and said silently, thinking for a long time, and said with a little hesitation: "After all, this is their territory, and they will definitely not give up, but what do they want to do......?
Before he finished speaking, three neat cavalry formations rushed over, each with a scale of 80,000 to 100,000 people, respectively, blood, silver, and black armor, almost even the horses under the knights, the rhythm of the horses' hooves rising and falling was the same. The three teams turned their horses' heads lightly about two miles before the mountain bag, turned around and galloped back for a while, and then galloped back and forth, and some high-ranking knights emitted a dazzling fighting light, leaving the ranks to show off their brawl back and forth.
In the stormtrooper led by Gnu, there was a tall and majestic boy who laughed: "Fuck, do they want to fight against our two million army with these 300,000 people?"
Qiong Daotian glared at him fiercely, and said to himself: "Everyone, pay attention, first, we don't have two million people now, we have a lot of casualties in the previous battle, and now there are only 1.78 million soldiers with full combat effectiveness. Second, although they only have 300,000 people, I am afraid that except for the 'Tiger and Wolf Army', none of our troops will be their opponents. Third, even if the 'Tiger and Wolf Army' attacked with all its troops, there were only 230,000 people now, and the casualties last time exceeded 100,000, and a group of soldiers did not regain their combat effectiveness. Fourth, the cavalry of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' was only 100,000. Now it is not easy for us to fight against their 300,000 elite cavalry. ”
All the men were silent, and one of the staff officers of the army whispered, "If they rely on these cavalry, using the advantage of mobility and personal strength to launch surprise attacks on our various garrisons, it will be difficult for us to deal with it." They don't need to start an actual battle, just burn down our warehouses and we'll be in trouble. ”
Another veteran staff officer thought for a while, and carefully analyzed: "Judging from the situation that has fought with them, it is impossible for the Black Cloud Empire to use only 300,000 people to fight against us, they have always liked to crush us with absolute superiority in troops. As for the 300,000 people in front of them, the black cavalry corps is still seeing it for the first time, it may be newly reinforced, whether it has brought other combat deployments, I'm afraid it is worth pondering. ”
Long Feng said coldly: "It's very simple, one question, where did the regular army of the Black Cloud Empire go? Why did we fight against a group of recruits when we fought for the first time? This time, they were a large number of ordinary people who took up arms? The real elite legion is only the 300,000 in front of us." Can anyone answer me?"
Qiong Daotian's face became ugly, ugly, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth fiercely and ordered: "The whole army is raiding, chasing and killing these retreating Black Cloud Empire troops, killing as many enemies as possible, even if they can't kill too much, let their army formation be completely disrupted and scattered, so that their soldiers can break and escape, this is the best." ”
Turning the horse's head, Qiong Daotian didn't bother to look at the three cavalry corps not far away, and led people to rush directly to his own territory. Yang Tian asked Long Feng in a low voice, "Big brother, what's wrong, why are you so nervous?"
Long Feng replied to him very simply: "The Black Cloud Empire is transferring troops to replace these garbage armies with elite, truly elite warriors. Wait, two months at most, their army rotation will be complete, and then it will be fun. Zeng Guoxuan and the others changed their faces, after they experienced the last battle, they thought that they had picked up a small life, and they could wait for the arrival of the Second Route Army with peace of mind, who knows, the damn Second Route Army has been missing for a long time, but the other party's deadly army is about to fight.
Yang Tian asked curiously: "Why didn't they invest these elite soldiers in the first place......?
Long Feng also hesitated to think, "Yes, why the hell? Unless the emperor of the Black Cloud Empire thinks that his people are worthless? Or is the life of the Black Cloud Empire too cheap? What are they thinking about?" A slight sneer suddenly entered Long Feng's ears, which was full of joy after the success of the prank. Long Feng's heart was shocked, and when he scanned the surroundings intently, there was no abnormal movement at all. Long Feng had to wonder if he had been using his brain too much recently, and he had auditory hallucinations.
A day later, the huge militia army of the Black Cloud Empire had only retreated for fifty miles, and the army of the Celestial Empire, one hundred and twenty thousand troops, swarmed out and quickly pursued and killed. Strongen wisely ordered the three legions to avoid the sharpness of the Celestial Army, and he was not arrogant enough to think that the three legions could fight against an army five times his size. A strange scene appeared, the Celestial Empire army caught up with the retreating Black Cloud Brigade and began a one-sided slaughter, just three miles away, the three strongest legions of the Black Cloud Empire watched the soldiers with the same military insignia on their bodies scream and fall to the ground, and the Celestial Empire soldiers were frantically slashing and slashing, slashing and killing these armies composed of ordinary people.
Fighting on the same level at all, these soldiers, who had not long taken up arms and had received real formal military training for less than a month, had no hope of resisting at all, and many of them directly threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and then were trampled into pulp by the iron cavalry of the Celestial Empire.
But after a day's work, the 300,000 Black Cloud militia after the break were completely surrounded and annihilated, the blood stained the emerald green grass, and the meat sauce formed after the human ** was trampled was extremely greasy and smeared on the ground. The Celestial Empire army did not rest, and quickly pursued to the south.
With a cold face, Strongen led the three major legions not far away to follow the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and did not pity these soldiers who died tragically, who were not orthodox citizens of the Black Cloud Empire. In the queue, His Majesty's envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, a noble duke, wiped his beard and said with a smile: "Let them kill, kill, hehe...... These pariahs, whether they are dead or not, hmph, save them from rebelling again, and use the army of the empire to suppress them. ”
Feng asked puzzledly: "However, if the enemy army is allowed to pursue and kill like this, it is impossible for these militia teams to support the central plain." My lord, it's likely that the defense will not be enough to let those monsters rush out. ”
The duke said indifferently: "Feng, it's okay, Your Majesty has already ordered that the commanders of various places have recruited 10 million people over the age of thirteen and under the age of one hundred and twenty (remember the setting, the normal lifespan of people in the world here is about 200) to fill the army...... The power of defense, there must be, hehe......"
The three giants showed a knowing smile, and the tide of sycophants slapped to His Majesty the Emperor of the Black Cloud Empire, although His Majesty was not with his old man, but his favorite Grand Duke was not there?
Tungulas Quack smiled and said, "This is the best, ten million young people, these troublesome people can not be restored for fifty years, and after our emperor [***] team has eliminated the aliens, it will naturally be easier to rule the land we have conquered." ”
The duke showed a silvery and obscene smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "There are many benefits, so many men have been sent to the battlefield, so many beauties have stayed at home, we can also choose a few more to enrich the mansion, and enjoy the flavor of different beauties from various countries." ”
The three giants laughed and echoed the extremely immoral annihilation. The duke said with satisfaction: "Ten million, hehe, ten million, no matter how powerful those monsters are, it will not be easy to kill all the 10 million brainwashed untouchables, right? Besides, even if the 10 million is killed, it is better to collect another 10 million." ”
Stromgen said viciously: "That's right, the people of the empire, only the most loyal 230 million people, and the rest of the people can all be sent to see the great god." A group of nationalist knights echoed each other, and the people of the three legions enjoyed the wonderful scene of their army being slaughtered with even more taste.
Feng licked his lips and said with a yearning for him: "When the aliens are tired of killing, it's time for us to attack, so close to each other, they just wait for death." Several bigwigs smiled and nodded, and the Duke touched the big sword he was wearing, and said seriously: "When I was young, I was also a good hand at fighting." When the time comes, you must cut off the heads of a few aliens with your own hands. ”
Naturally, his words won a burst of compliments, and he didn't know how to brag shyly, and soon, he became the number one god of war in the Black Cloud Empire, and a hero unmatched in the world of martial arts.
The pursuit lasted for three days and three nights, and the Celestial Empire army had caught up with the three groups of retreating Black Cloud troops, and their marching speed was too slow, and the marching distance of less than fifty miles a day could only make them the swords of the Celestial Empire army. The army in front vaguely received the news from the deserters behind, knowing that the Celestial Empire army had caught up, they couldn't help but speed up their pace in panic, and the speed of the march suddenly reached an astonishing level. Of course, there were also some nimble soldiers who secretly broke away from the team and escaped far away without the opportunity of the regular army of the Black Cloud Empire.
Therefore, after three days and three nights of pursuit, after cutting off more than a million heads, this army that fled frantically not far in front was the last force that the Celestial Empire army could pursue.
The cavalry led by Yang Tian mustered up the last bit of strength, circled around a large arc, and overtook it far away, encircling this small force of about 100,000 people into the encirclement of the Celestial Empire army. The cavalrymen raised their sabers and spears, and slowly laid them flat, aiming at the army running in front of them, with scattered clothes and armor, and most of the soldiers' weapons had been lost. In the rear, faintly, all the pursuing troops of the Celestial Empire appeared on the horizon with large banners.
Eight miles away, the knights of the three legions dismounted and sat on the ground to rest, while eating dry food and drinking the stinking and bitter water in the leather bags. A few of the bigwigs didn't do that, naturally, and they sat on the carpet with freshly grilled game and fresh wine in front of them.
The vengeful Feng said coldly: "They probably thought that we would keep watching the fun, right? It's been three days, and they should be taught a lesson." ”
Strongen smiled and said, "Dear Count Feng, I understand your feelings, no matter who is defeated by the enemy, he will try his best to take revenge on the enemy." He didn't hurt Feng lightly, and then said quickly: "In this case, your 'Blood Night' will be the vanguard, so that you have a chance to prove yourself in front of the envoy." The Duke nodded with a smile, and Feng Tieqing nodded in agreement.
In the encirclement of the Celestial Empire army, the unlucky Black Cloud Empire militia was already desperate Mu Li on the spot, their leader, who was named a high-ranking general of the empire, was actually a middle-aged man whose status was inferior to that of a lowest-level imperial soldier, a craftsman born of iron, slow, heavy steps, trembling all over his body towards Yang Tian. He was not familiar with the establishment of the Celestial Empire's army, and regarded Yang Tian as the supreme commander of the more than one million Celestial Empire troops.
Slowly knelt on the ground, accustomed to grabbing the hammer happily with the big hand of iron, fiercely threw away the inferior iron sword in his hand, kowtowed to Yang Tian fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Generalissimo, please, let us go." We didn't want to be soldiers, we were also forced...... Please, please let go of these brothers of mine, we are all ordinary people, the war of the nobles, we are not interested. ”
Yang Tian sneered, the saber in his hand was replaced by a heavy steel two-handed sword, he picked up the sword in his hand and slashed at the middle-aged man's neck.
A strong force came, and Long Feng quietly flicked away the big sword in Yang Tian's hand, and the big sword flying obliquely slammed into the ground twenty zhang away, and plunged into it. Long Feng looked at the middle-aged man with a little pity in his eyes, his eyes were on his thick hands, he glanced at his weather-covered and simple face, and said lightly: "Forget it, they surrendered, and they are not regular soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire...... The foundation of a country is these most ordinary people, and if you kill all the people, who will farm the land, who will build houses, and who will join the army?"
Yang Tian quickly climbed off the horse, rushed to the middle-aged man, helped him up, and said in a fluent Black Cloud official dialect: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as you put down your weapons, you can go home." We, the Celestial Empire army, will only use iron means to deal with our enemies, but we will definitely not harm ordinary people. ”
The surrounding generals had no opinion, and the supervising militiamen put down their weapons, took off their armor, and in groups of hundreds of people, their faces were full of happiness of escaping death, and they quickly ran towards the outside of the encirclement.
Long Feng suddenly snorted coldly: "Slow." Hearing Long Feng's order, the surrounding soldiers subconsciously re-grasped the weapons in their hands and aimed them at these people who had just walked a few steps. A burst of despair appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he looked at Long Feng with numb eyes, as if he was a hundred years old.
The legs of the people in the encirclement of 100,000 people trembled, and many of them cried, and one fell to their knees one after the other. Yang Tian looked at Long Feng in confusion, and pondered in his heart: "After saying that you let them go, do you suddenly can't think about it, and you want to kill them all?" This doesn't seem to be like the temper of Long Feng, a bastard, right?"
100,000 people fell to their knees in black, looking at Long Feng with a pair of numb and frightened eyes, this person who could decide their fate with one sentence. Everyone could see that Yang Tian seemed to be the supreme commander in the field now, but Long Feng's opinion had a great influence on him.
The dragon wind was cold, the void slashed, and a large pile of gold ingots suddenly fell out of the crack in the space. Long Feng ordered, "Give each of them a little money for the journey...... They can't all be recruited by this continent, many of them, maybe transferred from the other two continents, give them a little bit of money to go home, otherwise they will still die on the road......"
The soldiers of the Celestial Empire silently poured up more than a thousand people, picked up the gold ingots on the ground, struck the gold nuggets with the daggers they carried with them, and distributed a small piece to each of the people who knelt on the ground. The overjoyed crowd took the gold nuggets one after another, and they were afraid that the Celestial Empire army would suddenly repent, and after thanking them, they didn't dare to turn their heads back and ran out.
The middle-aged man ran out of more than ten zhang, suddenly ran back, looked at Long Feng deadly, and asked loudly: "What's your name?" Long Feng showed a weird smile and whispered: "That general is my master, and his name is Yang Tian." ”
Dahan muttered a few words in a strange tone: "Yang Tian, Yang Tian, I will tell those brothers." He strode out. Yang Tian watched these happy people hurriedly go away, suddenly grabbed a spear and drew a circle in the sky, and shouted loudly: "All arms are ready to fight, and the stars are gathered in the sky." ”
The Celestial Empire's army quickly concentrated towards the center, and laid down a defensive formation that was known as the most powerful in the world according to the arcane trajectory of the stars that could be observed on the Liuhua Continent. The cavalry legion of the 'Bloody Night' has appeared on the horizon.
Strongen looked at the formation of the Celestial Empire from a distance like a huge turtle, took a long breath of cold air, and resolutely said to Tungulas: "Let's go together, that kid Feng is going to suffer." These aliens, damn it, their formation, it's too ......" He didn't finish speaking, with a look of admiration on his face, he drew a blood-red saber, drew a blood-colored afterimage in the air, and beckoned the cavalry regiments of 'Nightmare' and 'Shenghua', and followed Feng's 'Blood Night' and rushed towards the Celestial Empire army that was waiting for them.
The already exhausted Celestial Empire army, a frenzy welled up on the faces of every soldier, and it was the strangest look on the face of the craziest butcher when he saw his beloved little sheep. The extra-long 'Thorny Dragon Spear' slowly stretched out, densely facing the powerful knights who rushed madly after 300,000 recuperations.
Twenty thousand crossbows were slowly raised with a faint blue cold light. The 10,000 longbowmen sneered and buckled the long arrows to the bowstrings, and in the center of the formation, a large number of machetes spat at the palms of their hands and clenched their broadswords. On either side, small groups of cavalry units circled, dense baronets and sabers gleaming.
Yang Tian sat impatiently on his mount, stuffed a small piece of jerky into his mouth, and complained in a low voice: "Fuck, why hasn't Boss Qiong come yet? Didn't you say that you should take the opportunity to give these bastards a little hardship? Don't look at the number of us, if he doesn't come to help, we will definitely be the ones who suffer." Damn, it looks quite beautiful, Lao Tzu's legs are starting to go numb, can this still be beaten?"
180,000 crossbow arrows, 10,000 steel arrows broke through the air. The charging formation of the three legions suddenly became an extremely sparse formation, and less than two thousand people were unlucky enough to be shot into hedgehogs. Feng laughed wildly: "Brothers, rush, for the honor of our noble knights, kill them." ”
Before he could finish his voice, the dull beat of the drums was already sounding behind them. The two black banners of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' fluttered in a hula, and the 100,000 cavalry of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' roared towards the buttocks of the three major armies, stabbing them like a sharp blade.
The envoy of the Black Cloud Empire was so frightened that he screamed: "Enemy on the back, retreat, retreat, retreat...... Strongen, I order you to retreat. ”
Feng, who had already had enough experience in escaping under the pursuit of the Celestial Empire army, had already gathered his 'Blood Night' knights without urging at all, and rushed out diagonally. Strongen, who didn't have any ideas yet, was considering the Duke's orders, and the 'Nightmare' and 'Shenghua' had collided with the Gathering Stars Heavenly Array. Countless knights were provoked by the long 'Thorn Dragon Lance', and their mounts were thrown into disarray, hindering the onslaught of their own companions in the rear.
The crossbow arrows were fired again, and a large number of knights fell, but the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, who were obviously not energetic, did not guard their own defense lines, and several cavalry brigades had broken through the defense line of the pikemen, and swept the crossbowmen fiercely, and by the way, they used their spears to pick off the machetes near their bodies.
In the rear, the 'Nightmare' knights who didn't have time to turn their horses' were caught off guard by the 'Tiger Wolf Army', and thousands of knights turned over and fell off their horses.
The Heavenly Array changed slightly, and the knights who had clashed into the formation were stunned to find that they had suddenly fallen into the formation, and the nearby were densely packed with enemies. They fought to the death, and were then slashed to pieces by large knives like snowflakes.
Strongen protected the Duke, killed several of the Joan soldiers, and led the team to chase in the direction of the 'Blood Night'. With a lot of hatred in his heart, he has already begun to plan to punish Feng severely. A cold arrow suddenly roared, and Strongen was shocked and slashed away, and he found that the war knife in his hand almost fell to the ground, and the cold arrow flying obliquely stabbed into the duke's buttocks, making him scream violently, and the luxurious white silk breeches were instantly dyed with a large piece of bright red......
In this small battle, the three major legions were not damaged at all except for the 'Bloody Night', and the knights of the 'Nightmare' and 'Shenghua' died 13,000 people, and there were no wounded. And in a short confrontation, the Celestial Empire army paid a staggering price of 49,000 casualties among the infantry troops.
Qiong Daotian, who led the knights of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' to charge, frowned and listened to the report on the results of the battle, and gave the only order: "The whole army retreats to the Heavenly City, takes the Heavenly City as the central defense, abandons all the cities on the periphery, and only retains a small number of scout troops." His orders were faithfully carried out, and the army hurried back to the Paradise City, transporting all the storehouses and supplies to the Paradise City, and then the army began to build fortifications around the largest city in the vicinity.
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
More than 5 million militia troops (a little more than a million troops were wiped out by the Celestial Empire, and hundreds of thousands escaped) withdrew in disarray, and just when their leaders were considering whether everyone should be deserters at the same time, the three major legions came noisily and immediately dispelled their thoughts. Strongen and Tungulas complained that Feng should not have only cared about his escape, but Feng argued that they had not grasped the situation well on the battlefield and that he would not be responsible for the damage caused by the two allies.
Under the coercion of more than 200,000 knights of the three major legions, the militia continued to slowly move towards the central plain of the 'Black Cloud Continent'. According to the plan, they would drive there in a month, and then join the defensive front.
On the way, a million murderous warriors with scars on their armor rushed in a neat formation. Strongen was ecstatic, the commander of the million-strong regular army of the Black Cloud Empire simply handed over the military power to Strongen, and at the same time reported in a low voice: "Four million militiamen have arrived in the defensive positions, so we were able to get out and be ordered to reinforce the Marquis." ”
Strongen laughed, now that he had such an elite legion, it was naturally easy to wipe out the invading army of the Celestial Empire...... However, in order to be more stable, shouldn't we wait for the arrival of the follow-up corps?
With these million soldiers arrived, along with the 10,000 mages and missionaries sent by the Temple, who began to frantically preach about the damage that those undead monsters had done to the empire, and the threat they might pose to the people of the three continents. Along with the advocacy activities of these mages and missionaries, a faint spiritual magic began to affect all militias.
Strongen secretly watched as a dozen black-robed missionaries surged with strange black smoke shadows, desperately describing the horror, brutality, and evil of the undead monsters to the tens of thousands of militiamen nearby, and those militiamen listened with wide eyes and stupid listening to these things they had never heard of.
The Duke, who had a bulge on his buttocks, stroked his buttocks and said sinisterly: "That's right, that's it, let these untouchables go to death, it's also an honor for them to be able to give up their cheap lives for the future of the empire." ”
A ** master shrouded in a black cloak suddenly flashed in the middle of this group of nobles, and his cold voice seemed to be mixed with countless ice particles, and he whispered: "Ladies and gentlemen, these untouchables will be handed over to us, Your Majesty's meaning is that your lords should quickly lead troops to defend against aliens." If their army takes advantage of the absence of an army to defend and advances into the hinterland of the empire, we are afraid that we will be in danger. ”
The Duke didn't care about his reputation as the number one master of the empire, and echoed in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, you hurry up and lead the troops to teach those aliens a good lesson, and I will follow these untouchable troops back to Yanjing." ”
Strongen said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, you personally led us to charge against the army of the aliens, so you were seriously wounded, and I will report this military merit to Your Majesty." ”
The Duke opened his mouth and laughed, patted Strongen on the shoulder, and said with a grin: "Very good, very good...... Well, after the triumph of the Marquis, I will give you good words in front of Your Majesty...... It's been a long time since the Empire had a new duke, and we welcome the Marquis to join us. You are indeed the epitome of the nobility of the Empire. ”
Stromgen smiled with satisfaction, and von and Tungulas cursed in their hearts.
The army of the 1.3 million Black Cloud Empire was separated from these militia teams that were being brainwashed, and they drove straight to the north, occupying the 'Red Rock' City abandoned by the Celestial Empire for the first time. Strongen stood proudly at the head of the city and laughed wildly: "It's really incomprehensible that such a small city has caused the empire to lose more than one million soldiers." ”
Tunggulas said viciously, "That's the incompetence of the commander." Feng's face immediately turned pale, and his cold eyes glared at Strongen and Tunggulas, and began to think in his heart: "Strongen's family can't move, but Tunggulas, you wait for me, I'll give you some color to see." ”
The army of the Black Cloud Empire occupied the 'Red Rock' and the two nearby cities, directly threatening the 'Heavenly City', if it weren't for the fact that there was a real gap in strength, the confident Strogen had already ordered an attack.
The two sides tested each other, and almost every day there was a conflict of thousands of people, and the two sides won and lost each other, but on the whole, the Celestial Empire still had a certain advantage for the time being, and the stormtroopers led by Gnu slashed and killed a large number of soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire, and Gnu himself won the wonderful name of 'Red Tyrannosaurus'. Long Feng snickered in his heart, this nickname reminded him of the title of a certain lady given by young people during the ancient earth period.
Half a month later, another 500,000 Black Cloud regular army approached Heavenly City, and their vanguard rushed directly in the direction that Yang Tian was responsible for defending, leaving behind 20,000 corpses before slowly retreating. The Celestial Empire army, which relied on the fortifications, still suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
In another half a month, the 1.5 million Black Cloud army was reinforced, and the military power belonged to Strongen, and the total strength reached 3 million. To the delight of the Big Three, in about a month, the remaining two million regular troops defending the Central Plains will also arrive. At the same time, a new army of one million, made entirely up of the traditional subjects of the Black Cloud Empire, will also arrive after training.
Qiong Daotian and the others were helpless in the face of the other party's growing army, and every day they looked at the sea in the north at the head of the city, hoping to see the dense sail shadow as soon as possible. Yang Tian's complaint happened to say what the generals were most worried about: "Please, the last time Lao Tzu guarded the 'Red Rock', the reinforcements dragged on for seven days, and it almost made Lao Tzu finished." This time, the Second Route Army will not drag on for seven months, and will be ready to collect the corpses for us at that time. ”
×××××××××××××××××××××××
In the central plains of the 'Black Cloud Continent', countless undead monsters roamed in the gray land, occasionally, they would form an astonishing army under the command of a consciousness, and frantically attack the defense line of the Black Cloud Empire, but they often lost the control of that strong will after a short period of crazy slaughter, and were cut to pieces by the Black Cloud Army that had returned to God. This has been going on for a long, long time.
The most important checkpoint of the defense line, 'Dark Night' City, which was guarded by five million regular troops of the Black Cloud Empire, was no longer a regular soldier in the city, and they were replaced by a militia with pale faces and eyes full of fear. The more than 5 million people who escaped from the sword of the Celestial Empire army were still quite good, at least they had experienced fewer battle formations. However, the militias forcibly recruited from the conquered kingdoms of the other two continents were completely ordinary people. The leather armor with the worst defense, which loses its sharp inferior sword with two slashes, made up all the equipment of these "armies".
Surrounded by 10,000 knights, the governor of Dark Night City pointed out the movement outside the city to the militia at the head of the city. He was calm, but with a somewhat malicious smug look, he said, "You can see what those things are. Zombies, skeletons, and mutated monsters. ”
The sound of 'clanging' kept ringing, and it was the militiamen who had dropped their weapons on the ground.
The Governor looked solemn, but he snickered in his heart and said, "Look at those monsters, they have broken through our two lines of defense, and this is the last one...... If they break through this line, they will go directly to the Black Cloud Continent, followed by your two continents. I can tell you what they like to do the most, which is to kill all the creatures and turn them into skeleton soldiers and zombies. ”
A dozen short skeletons walked slowly from less than fifty feet away from the city with kitchen knives. The Governor looked disgusted, and pointed to the group of skeletons in a low voice, "Look, my dear people, those little skeletons are the children of the villagers within the two lines of defense. Children who were less than a year old were also turned into skeletons when they died. ”
The militia exclaimed, and the black-clad mages took the opportunity to cast spells that could make people go berserk, but they were very careful, very careful to control the power of the spells.
The Governor sighed and said, "No way, we were ordered to set out to attack those aliens who invaded the empire, but this defense line must be guarded, isn't it......?"
A high-ranking general saw that the governor's throat was a little thirsty, and quickly picked up the conversation and said, "We are about to set off, and in order to protect your homeland, we will set off to conquer those aliens. However, think for yourselves, if these monsters break through this line of defense, which is the line of defense under your feet, your family will become those ghosts outside...... Maybe the next baby skeleton soldier will be your baby...... Think for yourself, whether you should fight here to destroy these monsters and protect your families, or run away as soon as we leave, and let the souls of your family become immortal monsters without rest. ”
The lord waved his hand and led the knights behind him to leave the city quickly, the pale red fury magic and bewitching magic gradually took effect, the militiamen picked up the weapons they had just dropped, muttered the names of their most beloved family members, and began to prepare for the fight with their eyes slightly red.
The same happened within the entire defensive line surrounding the Central Plains, and the last soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire left the defensive line, and these militias, who were determined to fight desperately because of their own families, took their place.
As if to welcome them, thirteen powerful wills appeared at the same time, and thirteen huge skeleton armies frantically rushed in thirteen directions. Millions of white skeletons collided and rubbed against each other, making a terrifying and strange sound, and crashed into the city wall. The walls shook slightly, and the skeleton soldiers lined up in the shape of pyramids, quickly approaching the city, and the rusty weapons slashed at the bodies of the militiamen at the city. The inferior armor was not effective in reducing the damage of the skeletons, and the militia screamed and rolled to the ground with clumps of blood. But more people in poor armor rushed forward.
The strength of the skeleton soldiers was really too weak, a total of more than thirteen million skeleton soldiers rushed to the defense line, and less than eight million skeletons returned to the plains intact. The skeletons of small children or babies are often crushed by the defenders, and do not cause much damage at all.
The black-clad mages who oversaw the battle commanded the militia with great experience, and jars of fire oil were carried up to the city, and the bones all over the ground were doused with oil and burned to ashes.
The thirteen consciousnesses seemed to be tired of playing, and they deliberated with each other in the air, and the only consciousness began to direct the scattered undead soldiers to carry out routine harassment, and the other twelve began to absorb the dead air and the resentment of the undead throughout the central plains. In a way, the old ghost of the Black Sky is very qualified to be a member of the necromancer, he has a good talent and potential.

The regular army of the five million Black Cloud Empire had all arrived, and the dense tents could not be seen at a glance, almost covering the entire land. Just when the generals of the Celestial Empire military were chilling in their hearts, a million recruits also hurried over, adding a stone to their heavy hearts.
According to the words behind Zeng Guoxuan and others: "Now they can kill our entire army with one mouthful of foam." ”
Qiong Daotian was already so anxious that his liver was on fire, and his heart seemed to be boiling oil and constantly suffering, the Second Route Army had been late for almost two months, could it really be like Yang Tian said, they were going to be seven months late? At that time, they could really only collect their corpses.
The army of the Black Cloud Empire reorganized the formation for seven days, trying to make the camp as orderly as possible and look more imposing, and then, a letter of battle was sent to Qiong Daotian by a hundred 'Nightmare' knights.
Strongen, officially representing the masters of the Black Cloud Emperor [***] side, challenged the masters of the Celestial Empire. He forcibly collected a tax from the people, and then used this huge amount of money to collect a large number of ronin masters from the three continents, ready to recoup a little bit of the face lost in the mutual assassination.
Yang Tian laughed: "It's okay, it's good, it's good, at least we can delay it for a few more days." Oh my God, is the Second Route Army coming? Shouldn't they all be fed to the fish due to a tsunami on the way?"
All the generals present snorted at Yang Tian fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense." ”
With a stroke of his pen, Qiong Daotian responded on the challenge book: "Seven days later, in front of Red Rock City." As for whether Strongen can appreciate the beauty of the calligraphy of the Celestial Empire, it is not Qiong Daotian's concern. At the very least, just as Yang Tian's damn broken mouth said, they bought another seven days.
Emperor Heiyun [***] wanted to behave as a single, mobilized a large number of soldiers, and built a large observation site at the central point between Heavenly City and 'Red Rock' City. Both sides stipulated that only 30,000 soldiers and samurai who participated in the battle were allowed to go.
The Celestial Empire's side is very simple, the 25,000 most elite warriors of the 'Tiger Wolf Army', the 5,000 disciples of the Black Sky Old Ghost, and then the 3,000 martial arts masters of all kinds. Gnu, Long Feng and the Black Sky Old Ghost have become the greatest hope of the Celestial Empire. Yang Tian laughed, and also grabbed a place to play, anyway, he was determined to make a big fuss. The sons and daughters of the Guards Regiment hid in the city very interestingly, and on this occasion, they would turn their faces as soon as they didn't say it well, and they didn't want to take the risk to see the excitement.
Seven days flew by.
The two colorful dragon flags were the guide, and the team of the Celestial Empire slowly left the camp and set off. In the rear, 500,000 responding troops were densely spread on a ten-mile wide front, ready to charge at any time. In these seven days, in front of the camp of the Celestial Empire, there were at least 7,000 huge pits, which were filled with sharp wooden stakes.
On the side of the Black Cloud Empire, more than 2,000 killers and ronin masters, escorted by 10,000 knights from each of the three major legions, also rushed towards the competition venue.
Strongen triumphantly touched his beard and walked at the forefront of the group, glancing at Feng from time to time, thinking in his heart what kind of wonderful expression would appear on Feng's face when he defeated the master of the alien race under his own auspices. As for the Black Cloud Legion, it really needs a victory over the Celestial Empire to inspire people, so that they can swallow the alien army of less than two million people in one go.
