The Chu army took the lead in guarding the pass of Guan Pass. King Panju of Chu entered his palace on Tortoiseshell Mountain and personally guarded Guan Mountain.

"Your Majesty, although our army is guarding the Tortoiseshell Mountain, the Tortoiseshell Mountain stretches for thousands of miles and has many mountain passes. Our army is focused on one and misses the other. How can we cover everything?"

The generals of the Chu army all looked worried.

"From what I have seen, it is better to take the initiative to attack the blood demons and have a showdown in the plains than to passively defend the mountains."

The generals are right. From a military point of view, there is indeed no need to defend Tortoiseshell Mountain.

Because I definitely can't keep it.

How to defend and block such a long mountain range and so many mountain passes?

The attacking side can move flexibly and choose weak points to attack.

Even if the mountains can block the blood demon's cavalry, the worst he can do is abandon his horses and come over the mountains on foot.

Pan Bin looked at the villages in the south of the mountain, and then at the Chu people from the north who were trying to escape. He said in a deep voice: "It will be difficult for our army to win if we take the initiative. The safest strategy at the moment is to first guard the Tortoiseshell Mountain and wait for the country to

News from the teacher.”

"I heard that the Imperial Master went to the Tortoiseshell Mountain in the west. That is where the Imperial Master Qin often went. It is definitely not a coincidence that the Imperial Master Zhongda also went there."

"I believe that there may really be a discovery there that can save the Chu country from its crisis."

The Imperial Preceptor... everyone felt complicated after hearing this. They did not think that the Imperial Preceptor could save Chu State now.

Dazai Gu Zhong, who was accompanying him, sneered in his heart. The national master should be taken to the blood clan camp by Gu Fang to be a prisoner now.

Your Majesty, if you are still counting on that unreliable Imperial Master, you are destined to be greatly disappointed.

The old minister feels very sorry for the king.

But the old minister is also helpless. Some things always need someone to do them.

The King of Chu arranged his defense, and while waiting for the blood demon army, he continued to order the mobilization of the young men in the country, and asked them to go north to King Qin under the leadership of vassals and lords from various places.

Of course, what he paid most attention to was always the news about the new national master.

If the new national master can't do anything, then Chu State will really be doomed. He has already made psychological preparations.

Even the concubines, princesses and princes in the palace were also prepared under his instructions.

Once the blood demon troops come to the royal city, they will set fire to the palace and die for the country.

When Pan Bin thought of this, she felt endless sadness and desolation in her heart.

After struggling for so many years, is this day finally coming?

Thousands of years of Chu State's foundation will be destroyed in one day.

Legend has it that in ancient times there were gods who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth, turning mountains and seas upside down. It is said that Kangzu, the founder of the Chu State, was a god. The Chu State was also very big at that time.

But now that Chu is about to perish, why don't the gods appear?

Alas, there is no such thing as a fairy, after all, it is just an idiot’s dream.

"Your Majesty, the Blood Demon is here!"

An exclamation interrupted Pan Bin's thoughts. The most noble man in the Chu Kingdom looked up and saw smoke and dust covering the plains to the north. Above the dust, blood demon's blood cross battle flags appeared unscrupulously in front of his eyes.

The endless blood demon army surged forward like a black tide.

The entire north was shrouded in that gloomy and bloody evil aura.

The astonishing murderous intention was like a basin of biting ice water pouring into the hearts of the kings and ministers of the Chu Kingdom.

Although the Chu people have been resisting the blood demons for thousands of years and are no strangers to the blood demons, they have never seen such a large army of blood demons.

There is a saying in Chu State: "If there are not even ten thousand blood demons, you cannot fight if there are ten thousand."

Because the Blood Demon has the secret technique of drinking blood to strengthen his body, he has strong blood, strong physique, and strength and speed like a tiger.

Moreover, even if you are injured, you can recover quickly.

The most powerful white-armored elite among the blood demons, with the ability to lift a thousand pounds and kill a war horse with a punch, he is simply a natural killer.

At this moment, the blood demon army swept over with overwhelming evil aura. They roared on horseback and were arrogant, as if they were in an uninhabited land.

Some of the blood demon pioneers even shouted and rushed down the mountain to show off their power.

The ferocious faces under their pointed helmets were clearly seen by the Chu army: high noses and deep eyes, their faces were as pale as corpses, and their eyes were green in color, glowing with bloodthirsty red.

Some blood demons took off their pointed helmets, revealing a small brown or yellow braid, like a pig's tail, with their forehead and surrounding area shaved clean, and a strange appearance with a high nose and deep eyes, making them look ugly, weird, savage, and fierce.

And when these creatures open their mouths and roar, they reveal their sharp and slender fangs, like a jackal's kiss.

Their weapons are mostly cross swords and huge long bows.

Although their appearance is indeed unsightly, their terrifying fighting power and terrifying desire for destruction are clearly visible, making everyone in the Chu Kingdom feel chilled.

"The Imperial Master will arrive soon and can save the Chu Kingdom from danger! Don't be afraid of the Blood Demon!" Pan Bin said loudly, "Pass the king's order to kill a Blood Demon soldier and reward him with ten kilograms of gold! Upgrade to one level!"

"If we can't stop the Blood Demon, what will be waiting for us?"

"We will be treated like pigs and sheep, and we will be killed by them to drink blood, eat meat, and be slaughtered like animals! You, your relatives, including your parents, wives and children, will be miserable..."

A general hurriedly came to Pan Bin and reported: "Your Majesty, Dazai Gu Zhong has escaped. He actually fled north!"

Pan Bin smiled coldly: "Don't worry about him. I already know how serious you are. It's going to rain. My mother wants to get married, so just let him be."

Pan Bin promulgated the king's order and after some encouragement, the hearts of the Chu army were ignited and the desire to fight to the death was in full swing.

At this time, in front of the Blood Demon army, Gu Zhong had led a group of tribesmen to come in person to the horse of Count Elska, the commander of the Blood Demon.

He looked at Elska, who was riding a tall horse with an indifferent expression. He was trembling and panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but throw himself into the dust with a thud:

"Your Majesty the Earl, your respectful and docile servant Gu Zhong leads the people to greet the great Earl! May the light of the Lord bring good news to you. Cake seller!"

For Gu Zhong, who had secretly taken refuge in the blood demons for a long time, he was certainly no stranger to what the blood demons wanted to hear.

Elska was wearing a golden armor, looking down at Gu Zhong who was prostrate in the dust in front of the horse. She showed a cold, arrogant and reserved noble smile:

"Seller of cakes! Gu, my child, you are a lost lamb who has returned. The Lord will forgive you and give you peace of mind."

Gu Zhong looked happy and felt relieved. He quickly raised his butt and shouted: "Thank you, Lord Earl, for your grace!"

The surrounding Blood Demon generals looked at Gu Zhong, who was as docile as a dog, and all showed a smile of disdain but satisfaction.

The earl is right, he is indeed a good slave.

Well, it seems that it can be used to help captive the Chu people, so it should work.

Gu Zhong said cautiously: "Your Excellency, my lord, my servant brothers sent us the masters and apprentices of the State of Chu and the state. That woman was captured and given to you by my servants. Are you satisfied with her?"

The reason why he said this was of course to take credit, strike while the iron was hot, stabilize Elska's good impression of him, and gain a little trust.

But Elska was a little confused, and his face sank:

"Gu, my child, you said that your brother sent the master and apprentice of the Chu State, and you specifically mentioned that woman. However, I did not see your brother, and he did not come to my camp."

What?!

Gu Zhong was startled when he heard this, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. His body shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but threw himself on the ground more humbly, his voice full of panic:

"This, this... must be that slave brother who failed to live up to expectations. He succeeded more than he failed. He made mistakes and failed to complete the major tasks assigned by this slave. Please forgive me, Lord Count!"

His younger brother Gu Fang and a hundred dead soldiers of the Gu family did not come back. He thought that Gu Fang followed his instructions and directly escorted the masters and apprentices of the state to go north to join the blood demon army.

He also thought that Elska must have enjoyed that incomparable beauty, and she was so satisfied that she forgot about herself.

But he didn't expect that Elska would actually say that Gu Fang didn't come to the vampire camp, let alone send any women!

Did something happen to Gu Fang and the others, or did Elska deny it and secretly kill Gu Fang and the others?

Gu Zhong was not sure, but his heart was full of panic.

Of course, he did not dare to question Elska, so he could only kowtow and confess.

Elska didn't bother to look at Gu Zhong, this slave. When it came to the foot of Tortoiseshell Mountain, she ordered him to enter the palace as soon as possible.

It simply did not believe that the Chu army could stop the 100,000 noble knights under its command.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horns of the vampire army sounded, and groups of vampire knights abandoned their horses, either holding big swords and shields, or holding huge long bows, and roared towards the mountain pass.

………

On the high platform of the mountain hall, which is more than a hundred miles away from the battlefield between the two sides, Jiang Yao is running his medicine spirit body at full strength, refining the elixir through the extremely thin spiritual energy and vitality.

Because there is only one seven-leaf clover, and Li Xi only has one heart and soul, he cannot fail and must succeed.

Jiang Yao used the best silver frost charcoal and the best mortal medicine furnace left by Qin Yu.

However, he did not dare to make it rashly, but kept simulating the process of refining the medicine in his mind.

At this time, a full moon had already risen in the mountains, and the spiritual energy and vitality of the entire valley suddenly became stronger.

Li Xi's wound healing speed suddenly increased a lot.

The two of them seemed to be immersed in an extremely comfortable hot spring, and their cultivation that had been banned by heaven showed signs of loosening.

Qin Yu's method is right!
