Chapter 14: Assassination
Nangong Li's self-confidence was like a shot in the arm for everyone, and the previous frustration and panic suddenly dissipated invisibly, which showed the degree of trust in him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For Nangong Li, who has the attribute of a god, his commander is as high as 115 points, Qi Yue naturally believes what he said, but the problem of the strength he just mentioned is indeed a big problem.
"How many troops do we have left?"
As soon as these words came out, the joy that had just been shown on everyone's faces was stunned, and then the transformation was quite exciting, some avoided his gaze, some lowered their heads to count ants, and even Dongfang Ju, who was the main general, pretended not to hear it, and looked up at the newly built bird's nest on the beam.
Only Nangong Li did not shy away from it, and replied in a deep voice: "The original rebel army brought out from Canglang, Shanhaiguan lost more than half of the first battle, although it raised 50,000 recruits, but when attacking the seven northern cities, because it was a siege battle, the new recruits suffered huge losses, and the first battle of Quling City was even more elite, and now the full number of people in our army is only about 30,000, which also includes 700 firehead troops and 6,000 soldiers who are responsible for baggage."
After listening to Nangong Li's report, Qi Yue paced back and forth with his hands on his shoulders, and said anxiously: "That means that we only have more than 23,000 people left now, and there are no more soldiers to call on?"
was anxious in his heart, and naturally he didn't care about the severity of his tone, which made Nangong Li bow deeply: "I am incompetent and incompetent, and I have not kept the soldiers, please condemn me for dereliction of duty."
Seeing this, before Qi Yue could speak, Nangong Ze couldn't sit still, and hurriedly got up to intercede for his brother: "Your Highness, forgive me, second brother, he has done his best, it is really that the gap between the forces of the two sides is too big, plus the geographical advantage, so it will cause such a big consumption, and please ask His Highness to read that he has no merit and hard work, and he will be lightly dismissed!"
Qi Yue didn't want to surrender his guilt, and the Nangong brothers were now his right-hand men, how could he be willing to be punished, he immediately raised his hand to signal the two of them to get up, and comforted: "How can there be immortals in a war, not to mention that without Nangong Li fighting bloodily on the front line, how can he take a county in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, the Nangong brothers sighed one after another, got up and bowed: "Thank Your Highness for forgiveness, and the lowly and micro ministers will do their best to serve Your Highness."
Although Qi Yue did not punish them, it did not mean that the matter was over.
Now that there are no soldiers on the front line, it is natural that new recruits need to be recruited to prepare for the next war.
Waving his hand to signal everyone to retreat to their positions, while he straightened his clothes, his face was serious, and he commanded his subordinates aloud: "Ling Nangong Li is fully responsible for recruiting troops, and the specific number of recruits is up to him, as for the financial issues, I will leave it to Lord Chu to deal with, if there is nothing to do, retreat!"
As Nangong Ze and Chu Le'an both got up, everyone behind them stood up one after another, leaning down and bowing: "Congratulations to Your Highness!"
............
Three days later, Qi Yue rode Xiaofeng with the Divine Arrow Guard, and arrived at the gate of Quling City after a half-day flight.
Nangong and the others, who had come back to prepare a few days ago, had already prepared for the welcoming ceremony.
Tens of thousands of people at the gate of the city were in a daze, and at the front, the Poseidon guards and the rebels personally blocked a human wall, blocking the emotional civilians outside.
"Everyone, look at the sky, it's the prince who is coming!" someone shouted from somewhere in the crowd.
Tens of thousands of people fell silent in an instant, and they all looked up at the sky.
Everyone only felt that the sky above them was dark, and a huge bird slowly landed on the ground in front of them, and a figure rose from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it landed in front of the crowd.
Nangong and the others at the front naturally recognized Qi Yue's figure, and immediately led the soldiers to kneel on the ground together, shouting loudly: "All the officials and people of Quling City, see Your Highness!"
Someone took the lead, and the people behind him naturally knelt on the ground, shouting long live, and the earth-shattering sound startled Qi Yue who had just fallen for a moment.
Today's Qi Yue knew that he wanted to see the people under his rule, so he deliberately changed into a purple gold python dragon robe, and his long hair that was originally scattered was tied high by a jade crown, and he was tied with an extraordinary style of Dinghai Pearl around his waist.
In the hearts of the people, this is the attire that the prince of Canglang should have, and this is the scene of the surrender of thousands of people in front of him.
He has experienced strong winds and waves, and there is no problem in coping with this kind of scene, but I saw him raise his hands slightly and said loudly: "Sons of the waves, I ...... Qi Yue, you're back!"
In just one sentence, Qi Yue used ten percent of his true qi, and suddenly everyone inside and outside Quling City could hear it, and the civilians kneeling in front of him had a buzzing in their ears, and this sentence kept echoing in their minds.
"Long live Your Highness!" the voices in the crowd rang out abruptly again.
Qi Yue fixed his eyes and immediately found the person who spoke out in the dense crowd, and when he saw the tattoo of the Seagod Praetorian Guard on his body, he suddenly realized that he would naturally not stop him.
But the people were aroused by this sentence, and immediately raised their arms and shouted: "Long live Your Highness! Long live Your High......ness!"
The cries rose like a tidal wave.
Qi Yue also walked towards the city with a smile in the voice of the people and under the protection of everyone.
As he walked, something that no one expected happened, and more than a dozen assassins suddenly jumped out of the crowd beside Qi Yue, bypassing the guards at an extremely fast speed, and heading towards his various key points.
The incident happened suddenly, because of the dense crowd, Qi Yue's divine arrow guards were blocked behind everyone, and they couldn't shoot arrows for a while, while the Nangong brothers were blocked in front of them by two assassins who passed through the dark realm for the first time.
At this time, there were only a few Seagod guards left by Qi Yue's side, but they were easily frozen by a petite and slender female assassin at the front.
When the other party made a move, Qi Yue could see clearly through the closed void pupils, the other party was using the Ice Dao realm, and the realm seemed to be above Xiaofeng.
Stunned, his hands and feet were trapped by the fine iron chains in the hands of seven or eight assassins, and he suddenly lost the ability to resist.
Seeing this situation, the Nangong brothers and the Divine Arrow Guards behind them were stunned, and they all wanted to protect them, but unfortunately they were blocked for various reasons.
Under the sun, Qi Yue could clearly see the material of the opponent's dagger, a thousand lights flowing, breaking through the sky silently, and he was definitely a high-level divine soldier.
The female assassin was expressionless, and with a slash of her right hand, the dagger slashed through his throat in an instant.
But at the moment when the dagger slashed, a trace of ominous premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, and she found that where Qi Yue was standing, only a white flame remained, turning the chains made of fine iron into molten iron in an instant.
"No!
The female Assassin was blindfolded, unable to see what her expression was, but her panicked tone could be heard clearly by everyone present.
But when she just twisted her head back, a chill suddenly hit her heart, and she felt a chill down her spine.
"Since you're here, stay here!"
In the dark, all the masters present who passed through the dark realm suddenly sounded such a whisper in their ears.
The next moment, the long swords on the waists of more than 10,000 guards outside Quling City were unsheathed by themselves without control, and flew upwards at an extremely fast speed.
The other two assassins of the Netherworld Realm had also reacted, quickly left the Nangong brothers, and gathered together with the rest of the assassins, all of them raised their heads to stare at the strange phase in the sky, and at the same time, a trace of sweat broke out between the palms of the clenched blades.
Almost at the same time, the Nangong brothers and the Divine Arrow Guards just wanted to rush up and surround them, but as if they had heard something, they suddenly stopped in their footsteps, and their faces were shocked.
"Everyone quickly dispersed!"
With Nangong Ze's order, the soldiers retreated one after another, and the surrounding civilians had already scattered at the first time, and an open space was vacated outside the city gate in an instant.
Ten thousand long swords in the sky hovered above their heads, guarding the blood-colored long sword in the center, and suddenly, the blood-colored long sword body burst out with a burst of aura.
All the ordinary iron long swords, after being swept away by the aura, the blades of the swords have revealed the brilliance of a divine soldier.
When they saw this scene, the dozen or so people who were surrounded on the ground had already retreated, and they just wanted to use the Dao Realm to escape, but suddenly a qi machine above their heads locked each of them.
Then came the mysterious voice again, only this time the tone became extremely serious, and even many people faintly felt a trace of divine majesty.
"Aurora Sword Domain, kill!"
As soon as the words fell, the flying swords in the sky poured down like a torrential rain, instantly submerging the place where everyone was standing.
"Let's go separately!" shouted the old man at the head, and he turned into a light wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to fly out of the range of the sword domain.
Seeing this, the remaining two also used their housekeeping skills, one turned into a thunder arc and the other turned into snowflakes, and they both flew away into the distance at a very fast speed.
But what they didn't expect was that before they could fly out of the sword domain, the flying sword behind them suddenly appeared in front of them, splitting the Dao realm of the three of them in an instant.
The light wind was broken by the sword qi, the thunder arc was drowned in the sword rays, and the snowflakes were even more passed through by hundreds of flying swords seven or eight times in a row within a breath, turning into nothingness.
The Dao realm of the three of them was broken in the blink of an eye, and the three of them, who realized the moment of life and death, each resorted to life-saving means.
Whether it is to turn into a streamer and escape, or to use defensive techniques to block, it is useless in the face of this move.
The sword domain seemed to have become a huge cage, and the flying sword could reach any place in an instant, and at the same time, the sword light attached to the sword body was enough to easily cut through the treasures on their bodies.
One flying sword after another slashed at his body, as if the people behind the scenes were enjoying this kind of fun, and did not rush to kill the three people, but to make them suffer the punishment of Ling Chi.
"Ah~!" The old man who fled first was slashed by a flying sword on his left arm, and his bones were cut off, and the pain made him let out a terrible scream.
"Ah!!" The other person was no better, his legs were swept by countless rays of light, and there was no scum left, and blood exploded everywhere.
The only one of the three who was better was the female assassin who had assassinated Qi Yue earlier, and the person who manipulated the Sword Domain seemed to deliberately keep her hand, but only cut off her wrist and suffered some external injuries, but even then she turned pale with fright when she saw the tragic condition of her companion.
