Chapter 81: The Demon Plague of the Qi Kingdom
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the urgent message sent by the Chu State?" Chen Xuanwu, the monarch of the Qi State, is a seemingly middle-aged person, but in fact he is the oldest monarch among the major immortal kingdoms, but his cultivation is also good, and now he has reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Sword Emperor.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the Chu State said, although it cannot be completely concluded that it will also happen in my Qi State, but it must be guarded against. The Prime Minister of Qi stood up at this time and said.
"Your Majesty, the wolf ambition of the Chu State, the destruction of the Qin State many years ago is enough to see the unkindness of the Chu Jun, and this time I am afraid that there is fraud in suddenly sending someone to send such news urgently. Another minister stepped forward and said.
"Is there a fraud? Even if there is a fraud, can he still form an alliance with the demon clan to harm my Qi country?" said the prime minister with a smile.
"It's definitely impossible to form an alliance with the demon clan, but who can guarantee that he doesn't want to use the hand of the demon clan to deal with our Qi country?" the minister said.
"Hey, the state of Chu destroyed Qin, that is because the two families of Qin and Chu have a feud, of course, although there are occasional contradictions between our Qi country and the state of Chu, it is not to the point of having a deep hatred. The prime minister flicked his sleeves and said.
"Your Majesty, the State of Chu must not be guarded against. The minister did not argue with the prime minister, but said directly to Chen Xuanwu.
"Your Majesty, the demon clan must be guarded against. The prime minister knelt down at this time, "Your Majesty, the State of Chu just sent someone to explain this matter, you might as well send someone to the coast of the East China Sea to check and see if there is any demon light that the State of Chu said, and it is not too late for Your Majesty to make a decision. ”
"So according to the meaning of the prime minister, does it mean that I am not as important as a demon clan crack?" Another minister stood up, these two people are second only to the prime minister in the Qi country, and they undoubtedly take a fancy to the prime minister's position. After all, with the strength of the Qi country, to achieve the position of prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, the luck he enjoys is very huge, and his cultivation will be extremely fast. Power, strength, can all be had, who doesn't want to do it?
"Not bad. The prime minister stood up suddenly, and his words made the civil and military officials in the hall stunned at the same time, and even Qi Jun Chen Xuanwu frowned.
"The crack of the demon clan is a matter of common people, ten thousand years ago, the emperors of the major immortal kingdoms joined forces to fight against the demon clan. But it still makes the life of the Shenzhou world hang by a thread, and almost my human race will die out from then on, which is enough to see the strength of the demon race, and the emperors have fought to the death to kill the demon clan with a fearless mind, protecting the inheritance of my Shenzhou world. And seal the demon clan, otherwise. Where did you come from the Immortal Kingdom? Where did you come from? Where did you come from? Where did you come from?" the prime minister said sternly. This old prime minister has been in two dynasties, his prestige and virtue are very respected and loved, and he is a well-known outspoken and daring person, although in the immortal kingdom where the imperial power is more majestic than the mortal realm, he is never afraid of offending the emperor.
"And now, we should live up to the legacy of our ancestors. Let the demon clan never have the opportunity to step into my Shenzhou world, so that my Qi country can last forever. Your Majesty. The old prime minister knelt down again, "My lips are cold, everyone in my Shenzhou world should watch over each other, so that the demon clan will not have a chance to take advantage of it, and you must not despise it." ”
"Old Prime Minister, you" The two officials who targeted the old prime minister pointed at him, wanting to argue, but at this time Chen Xuanwu spoke.
"Okay, the old prime minister is reasonable, the prime minister invites up, I coincide with the old prime minister's words, I think this time can not be ignored, come to someone. Chen Xuanwu shouted.
"Your Majesty. A lieutenant in fine armor walked in.
"You quickly rush to the crack of the demon clan on the coast of the East China Sea, check the situation of the crack, and if you find anything abnormal, immediately notify the general stationed there, don't act rashly, wait for my will, and return to Beijing as soon as possible to report. Chen Xuanwu said.
"Yes. The lieutenant in front of the palace replied, and then walked out quickly.
At this moment, a eunuch walked in quickly and passed by the former captain of the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Eunuch of Qintian asks to see you. The eunuch knelt down and reported to Chen Xuanwuyu.
"Qin Tianjian Taishi?" Chen Xuanwu frowned, and the civil and military officials below also whispered, this Qin Tianjian is a department in the Immortal Kingdom that is specifically responsible for observing the four directions of heaven and earth, and the people who serve in Qin Tianjian are all monks who are very good at divination, whenever something big happens, Qin Tianjian must be the first to know.
Something must have happened, otherwise the people of Qin Tianjian would not need to enter the court except for the summons of the Son of Heaven.
"Announce quickly. Chen Xuanwu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately announced that the Heavenly Eunuch was in the upper hall.
"Xuan, the Qin Heavenly Eunuch Taishi ordered the palace to play. The eunuch's chanting sounded, but a shocking scene appeared, only to see a Qintian eunuch Taishi Ling wearing a seven-star robe and a purple and gold crown running in regardless of the image, his face was in a hurry, and he pounced on the main hall as soon as he entered.
"Why are you so flustered?" Chen Xuanwu asked with some displeasure as he saw that this plain and steady Qin Tianjian Taishi was so disregardful of his image.
And the hundred officials next to him also laughed secretly, at this time, the image of this Qin Tianjian Taishi is indeed very unbearable.
But Qin Tianjian Taishi didn't take into account his image at this time, he quickly kowtowed to Chen Xuanwu three times, and didn't even shout long live, which was simply disrespectful to the Son of Heaven in the eyes of everyone.
"Your Majesty, when the minister used the art of divination to measure the will of heaven, he found that there was a vision in the east, so he watched it with a square mirror, and found that the demon spirit on the coast of the East China Sea was soaring, and the resentment and evil spirit were very strong, and a huge black crack appeared in the sky. Qin Tianjian Taishi Ling's tone was extremely flustered, and even a little frightened.
"What!" Chen Xuanwu suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, please move the Qin Heavenly Prison as soon as possible. At this time, the old man stood up again, his face equally ugly.
"Your Majesty, something must have happened on the coast of the East China Sea. An old general frowned at this time.
"Quick, move the Qin Heavenly Prison immediately. Chen Xuanwu walked down the jade platform quickly, "Your Majesty is driving the Qin Heavenly Prison." The eunuch shouted, and a three-headed thunder dragon beast pulled by a three-headed thunder dragon beast quickly appeared in the sky, and a hundred soldiers riding a treasure horse in the clouds guarded both sides of the palace.
The huge Qin Tianjian is a huge pavilion, four bronze mirrors stand in the four directions of the pavilion, three of which do not have the slightest movement, only the bronze mirror with its back to the east, a frightening scene is unfolding in it.
Quad mirror. It is a kind of magic weapon, but this magic weapon is only limited to the use of the immortal kingdom, because it is refined according to the qi luck map when the immortal kingdom was established, and the qi luck map is the territory map of this immortal country.
The square mirror is a magic weapon that has ingested a trace of luck and integrated into the territory map, which can be injected with spiritual power to observe all the places in the entire immortal territory, but what can be seen is only an approximation, for example. It's that you can use the quadrangular mirror to observe everything in the quadrangular territory, and you can only see one mountain at most, and what happened on that mountain, but you can't reach that mountain, and the people and trees can see it clearly. The quadrangular mirror is used to observe the changes in the four directions, not to spy on privacy. And that kind of square mirror that is very clear. No one can refine it, and refining to this extent is already remarkable.
Chen Xuanwu and the hundreds of civil and military officials stood in front of the quadrangular mirror, looking at the blood-red sky in the quadrangular mirror, as well as the huge black and terrifying crack in the sky.
Streams of dark green demonic light continued to overflow from the cracks. With an extremely uncomfortable aura, it spread in all directions.
"That's the spatial crack of the demon clan, impossible, the previous spatial crack was only the size of the table. And it's already very weak, but why is it so big and so powerful now? The old prime minister said with a grim face.
And the other officials were also extremely shocked, this spatial crack was enough to break out a demon tribulation, and it was enough to endanger the demon calamity of the Qi country.
"Shan Tianting, Zou Zhengwu. Chen Xuanwu shouted.
Two generals came out, one of them was a veteran who had just spoken in the main hall, both of them were veterans who had fought with the demon clan, and their cultivation was not as good, both of them were in the late stage of the Sword Sect.
"Order the two of you to immediately order 300,000 innate soldiers, Shan Tianting as the main commander, Zou Zhengwu as the forward, go to the coast of the East China Sea, remember, if you meet the demon clan, Linhai City is your bottom line. Chen Xuanwu said solemnly.
"Obey the order, and the last general will not dishonor the holy will. Shan Tianting responded suddenly.
"Send someone to Dinghai City immediately and let King Wuren return to Beijing, quickly!" Chen Xuanwu said to the eunuch beside him.
"Yes. ”
Afterwards, Chen Xuanwu looked at the two ministers who had just argued with Lao Cheng in the main hall, "As you said, the wolf ambition of the Chu State?"
The two of them lowered their heads, the demon light gushing out of the cracks in the square mirror was exactly the same as the demon light mentioned in the urgent letter sent by Chu State, what else did they have to say?
"Your Majesty, we are convicted. The two of them fell on the ground and pleaded guilty.
"In the future, don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Chen Xuanwu said this, but a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, the monarch of Chu State is not a tyrant, but he is definitely not a gentleman, as an emperor, which one can be a gentleman?
"Don't use the heart of a villain to save the belly of the prime minister. Chen Xuanwu said.
Then Chen Xuanwu frowned again, "Prime Minister, immediately give an order to let the three cities of Linhai step up their defenses, how many troops can my country draw out now?"
"One and a million three thousand. The prime minister said.
"So little?" Chen Xuanwu's brows furrowed again, the population of Qi Country totaled 1.1 billion, because it was an immortal country, basically everyone cultivated immortals, but the degree of ordinary people's cultivation of immortals was limited to innate, and the more advanced exercises were to join the national army or administrative system before the state would issue follow-up exercises, so basically except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, the immortal country can be said to be able to pull any one into the army, and only need to do some necessary training, and send follow-up exercises.
The three cities of Linhai are the three cities closest to the coast of the East China Sea in Qi Kingdom, one is Linhai City, one is Wuyan City, and the other is Shougui City, Linhai City is behind Wuyan City, Wuyan City is behind Shougui City, and Shougui City is a city next to the coast of the East China Sea, so Chen Xuanwu will say that once the demon clan attacks, Linhai City is the bottom line of Shan Tianting, which is equivalent to giving Shan Tianting a warning, you must defend Linhai City under the attack of the demon clan, and it doesn't matter if the first two cities can't hold it.
This also just shows that every attack of the demon clan is a battle of life and death for the immortal country, and the Qin country three thousand years ago, if it weren't for the Yunxia fairy, I am afraid that it would have been killed by the demon clan, and once the demon clan occupies the Qin country, then the threat to the Shenzhou world will be fatal.
"Recruit now. Chen Xuanwu said.
"How much?" asked the prime minister.
"One million!" Chen Xuanwu shocked the prime minister as soon as he spoke, "And give you three months to train strictly, I want to see a million elite soldiers of the Qi Kingdom rushing to the East China Sea in three months." ”
"Your Majesty, three months," the prime minister said with some embarrassment.
"Why? It's difficult? Tell them that there are people who join the army, and each family will be given a hundred spirit jade. Chen Xuanwu finished speaking. Turned around and sat on the royal chariot, "I can gamble on anything, only this matter can't be gambled, don't care about the loss at this time, if there is really a demon invasion, we can't stop it, if the Qi country dies, no matter how many heavenly and earthly treasures there are, what use can it be?"
"Always pay attention to the movements in the East China Sea, as long as there is new news. Present it at any time. Chen Xuanwu said, suddenly turned his head and looked at everyone: "I have a hunch. ”
Everyone's hearts jumped, and they had a hunch that this was not a good thing. In particular, the monk's hunch was basically very accurate.
"I have a hunch. Shenzhou will be in chaos. Chen Xuanwu finished speaking. The royal chariot rose to the sky, leaving a group of civil and military ministers looking at each other.
"One million soldiers, one hundred spirit jade per family, this is an astronomical amount. The minister in charge of the finance of the Qi State quickly calculated, and then gasped: "One hundred million"
"Don't worry about this, don't you understand what Your Majesty said? As long as the Qi Kingdom has always existed, 100 million spirit jade can only be produced in a hundred years. But if you are careful at this time, if the Qi Kingdom dies, won't these things belong to someone else in the end?" the prime minister said. He also left the Qin Heavenly Prison.
"The prime minister is right. Some of the ministers nodded and walked out of the Qin Heavenly Prison.
"The prime minister invited the ministers to the Hundred Officials Office to discuss the matter. Everyone came out of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and a eunuch stood guard outside the door and said.
Everyone nodded, knowing that this was the prime minister who was going to ask them to discuss all aspects of the fundraising, so everyone did not dare to delay and quickly went to the Baiguan Office.
"This old prime minister, the older he gets, the more refined he becomes. One of the two officials who had just been reprimanded by Chen Xuanwu said.
"Hehe, his old bones, if he doesn't break through, I'm afraid that in more than ten years, Shouyuan will be exhausted. Another said.
"Let's go, let's go to the matter first, or I won't be reprimanded again. The official said.
"Hold on, keep it for me!" On the coast of the East China Sea, the originally blue sky became blood red at this time, and the originally blue sea water was also reflected in the red at this time.
Groups of innate level demon beasts continued to appear in the sky, and on the ground, countless innate demon beasts filled everyone's eyes.
Yang Zhengxin, one of the late generals of the Sword Sect who was ordered by the Qi State to garrison the coast of the East China Sea, at this moment, his army of 10,000 was resisting the attacks of countless demon beasts from the sky, the sea, and the ground.
In the sky, countless bloodthirsty eagles let out a terrible cry, shrouding the sky in pitch black, and in the sea, tens of thousands of deep-sea ironclad crocodiles crawled out, and on the ground, lions, tigers, and even wolves and leopards were all frantically attacking.
"What are you kidding, how can there be these things on the beach?" said an adjutant general with a pale face as he looked at the lions, tigers, jackals, and leopards that had cultivated at the innate level.
"Looks like they've been lurking here for a long time. Yang Zhengxin said with a gloomy face, "Huh" At this time, there was a hiss, only to see a bloodthirsty eagle rushing towards Yang Zhengxin, Yang Zhengxin's eyes were cold, and the long sword on his waist was quickly pulled out, and a sword qi shot out, cutting the bloodthirsty eagle in half.
10,000 soldiers, relying on the walls of Shougui City, relying on the fortifications on the city walls to resist the attack of demon beasts.
"Get on the crossbow!" "Click, click, click!"
A buzzing sound like a fly buzzing sounded in the sky, and then a dense stream of glowing crossbow arrows rushed into the sky.
The sound of 'poof', 'poof' and 'poof' pierced endlessly, and then thousands of bloodthirsty eagles fell from the sky, spilling a rain of blood.
"Defense!" shouted loudly, only to see countless bloodthirsty eagles in the sky open their mouths at the same time, and a stream of blood mist suddenly spewed out of the mouths of the bloodthirsty eagles.
Blood mist filled the sky, enveloping Shougui City at an extremely fast speed.
"Blood mist is poisonous. Yang Zhengxin shouted, and then all the soldiers quickly closed the six senses at this moment.
'Knock''Knock'Knock'
The walls shook violently suddenly, and a muffled crash came from below.
And under the shroud of blood mist, those bloodthirsty eagles began to fly towards the city wall desperately.
"Defense, defense!" With a few shouts, all the soldiers drew their long swords at their waists, looked at the bloodthirsty eagles flying in the sky, and waited for battle.
"Crossbow. "'Click, Click!'" behind the soldier holding the sword in front. The city wall was wide enough to stand three columns of soldiers without crowding, the front two columns of soldiers were holding swords and waiting for battle, and the back column of soldiers was equipped with crossbows, and the spiritual power in the body urged this low-grade spiritual weapon crossbow, followed by a buzzing sound, and the bloodthirsty eagle in the sky continued to fall down.
"General, those ironclad crocodiles are starting to pound the walls. A lieutenant hurriedly ran over and reported to Yang Zhengxin.
"What?" Yang Zheng was shocked, and then leaned down to see under the city wall. Thousands of strong, thick-skinned ironclad crocodiles were crashing against the city walls, and in some places they had even been knocked out of cracks, and you could feel the trembling of the walls when you stood on them.
"Open the city guard immediately, and send the Elite out of the city to kill the ironclad crocodile!" Yang Zhengxin ordered without hesitation.
"Yes!"
Inside the urn city. Three hundred soldiers with fine gold swords in their hands, all of whom were in the late stage of the innate stage, stood there in unison. Their faces were resolute and fearless.
"Those who died in the line of duty. In the future, report to Your Majesty, and your family can get a pension of 300 medium-grade spirit jade. The adjutant general standing in front said to the three hundred people.
The expressions of the three hundred people flickered, and a trace of determination appeared in their eyes.
They did not wear armor, because they were men of sharpness, and the so-called men of sharpness were soldiers with sharp weapons in their hands. They don't need armor, they just need to use the sharps in their hands to complete their tasks, and life and death are completely left behind.
"Now. Ascend to the city. After the lieutenant general finished speaking, the three hundred sharp men quickly divided into two columns and ascended the tower from both sides.
At this time, the city tower was in chaos, the black bloodthirsty eagle swooped down, surrounded the entire city tower, and all the soldiers drew their long swords and fought with the bloodthirsty eagle in front of them.
'Poof' Gouqi stabbed the bloodthirsty eagle in front of him with a sword, suddenly felt a heat on the left side of his face, turned his head to look, and saw that his comrades around him had been scratched by a bloodthirsty eagle and slashed their throats, and then a bunch of bloodthirsty eagles pounced, and in an instant the entire corpse was scratched and torn by more than a dozen bloodthirsty eagles, like a pile of rotten meat.
Gou Qi felt a chill in his heart, and then frantically slashed at the bloodthirsty eagles on his comrades, and in an instant, blood gushed out, some of them were bloodthirsty eagles, and some of them were fallen comrades.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound behind him, and a bloodthirsty eagle with a severed head fell at Gouqi's feet, Gouqi turned around, only to see his comrade on the right smiling at him, and it was obvious that he had saved himself just now.
Before Gouge could respond, he saw that the comrade was instantly grabbed by three bloodthirsty eagles, and Gouqi's eyes instantly turned red, "No!!" Gouqi shouted.
I saw that the compatriot's entire head was blurred by the bloodthirsty eagle in an instant, "Come on." A tear flowed from the corner of Gouqi's eye, but he firmly believed that it was the blood of his comrade, and Gouqi raised his long sword and slashed at the bloodthirsty eagle that saved his comrade's head.
Suddenly, blood splattered, and his comrades were unfortunately slashed, and their brains flowed out and fell to the ground.
Gouqi turned around and shouted at the bloodthirsty eagle that was constantly flying in front of him, "Come on, brute!"
The entire five-hundred-meter city wall of Shougui City is full of bloodthirsty eagles, and the soldiers are constantly falling, and the comrades around them are constantly making up for the flaws left by their deaths.
"Hurry up, carry the corpse down the city, and don't block the walls. Yang Zhengxin sent out a sword aura, and dozens of bloodthirsty eagles in front of him were cut in half in an instant, and he kept shuttling across the city wall, seeing where there was a danger of being broken through, he immediately stepped forward to make up for it personally.
'Hum' At this time, the entire city wall shook for a while, and then a pale golden light enveloped the entire Shougui City wall.
'Knock', 'Knock', 'Knock', those ironclad crocodiles are still hitting wildly, but when the pale golden light envelops the city wall, every time those ironclad crocodiles hit, there will be a trace of scars on their bodies, and although there are cracks in the city wall in some sections, after these pale golden lights appear, they stabilized.
"How long can our spirit jade support the city protection array?" Yang Zhengxin asked his cronies.
"Fifteen days. The cronies replied.
"When will the two generals Mo Ping and He Yan arrive? Yang Zhengxin asked again.
"Ten days at the earliest. The cronie said.
"Urge, give me another push. Yang Zhengxin said.
"Yes. ”
"Hold on, hold on, as long as you hold on for a few days, the two generals Mo Ping and He Yan will arrive, and then Your Majesty will also send reinforcements. Hold it for me!" Yang Zhengxin raised his sword and said loudly.
The battle on the city wall continues, except for the ironclad crocodile under the city, countless land demon beasts are eyeing the tiger, and the nine-zhang high city wall, except for the flying demon beasts, is just that the innate demon beasts on land have no ability to surpass.
'Bang' One of them ran out of spiritual power and was scratched in the chest by a bloodthirsty eagle, while another soldier beside him took one look at his corpse and shouted at the soldiers who were carrying it, "Move down!"
"Ah!!h The soldier who died just now was his best friend, like a brother, and every battalion of soldiers here was like a brother, because they were the only people on the battlefield to whom you could entrust your back.
"No, no, no. There was a sharp gasp around him, and he turned to look. I saw that the veteran who often joked with himself was lying on the city wall weakly at this time and said.
"Old immortal, this time you are destined. He laughs.
"I'm running out of spiritual power. You often call me old and immortal. I'm afraid I'm really going to die this time, don't listen to what I say, if you can survive this time, take a leave, go back to your hometown to marry a wife, and have a child. It's also a posterity. The veteran said, his eyes revealing a hint of emotion that was difficult for others to understand.
"Okay, okay, hey, you've always persuaded us to take wives, what about you?" he asked.
"Me," the veteran's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. But then his pupils narrowed, and he looked at the young soldier in front of him, "Be careful. ”
The veteran pounced on the young soldier, and three eagle cries rang out, and then the veteran's head instantly left his neck.
The young soldier only felt a burst of blood red in front of him, and the red filled his eyes, so bleak and so bright.
'Click', 'Puff', and 'Brush' three sword qi slashed, and the three soldiers ran over and quickly killed the three bloodthirsty eagles that broke through.
"Huh, isn't this the old Antou? This old immortal, this time it's really dead. One of the soldiers said with a smile, laughing, but with tears in his eyes.
"This time, this old immortal should go down and enjoy the blessings, and he always persuades us to marry wives and have children, saying this and that, annoying people. Another soldier also said that although the old man was very annoying, the look in their eyes was a very happy look.
"Lao Antou's son died in battle three years ago in the defense of the beast tide in Dinghai City. At this time, a silent voice sounded, and everyone looked and saw a soldier about the same age as Lao Antou said.
Countless calls of bloodthirsty eagles sounded in the sky again, and then another wave of bloodthirsty eagles swooped down frantically.
The young soldier pushed away the headless corpse that Lao An's head was pressing on his body, and shouted behind him, "Move down." His voice was hoarse, he was full of hatred, and finally glanced at the corpse of Lao Antou, only to feel that his eyes and heart were blocked by something, and there were tears in his eyes, so what was in his heart?
"As long as I don't die this time, I will definitely marry ten or eight of her, give birth to a litter of cubs, and then let them join the army to resist the demon clan and avenge you. The young soldier said in his heart, and then his hateful gaze looked at the bloodthirsty eagle in the sky.
"Generals, the Rulers are ready. "There are three lieutenant generals under a general who are in charge of one kind of thing, and this lieutenant general who manages the soldiers is arrayed on the city tower with three hundred deacons at this time, and said to Yang Zhengxin.
Yang Zhengxin looked at the three hundred people in front of him, and didn't say anything, just saluted a military salute, " There are about more than 1,000 ironclad crocodiles below, the iron armor on these ironclad crocodiles is very strong, if they are allowed to hit the city wall, the city will be broken in less than five days, so you want to kill all these ironclad crocodiles, I am already optimistic, these ironclad crocodiles have surrounded only a small gap in front of the city gate, only humans can use those gaps to kill them, the peripheral monsters can not attack you, and the ironclad crocodiles are very clumsy, you will kill the internal ironclad crocodiles, the peripheral monsters will not be able to hurt you, we will provide you with support and cover, now each of you go to receive three spirit pills, register your nameand go down to town. After speaking, Yang Zhengxin gave a military salute again.
Everyone understands that when they kill the iron crocodile inside, they will only face the threat of the iron crocodile, but as long as the iron crocodile is killed more than half and the space is freed, then those demon beasts outside will all become their biggest threat, this is a certain death game, they succeed and die, and fail to die......!
