Chapter 307: Everyone in the Academy Returns (Nearly 20,000 Words Super Chapter)
Liu Lin felt that the pressure suddenly increased, and he had to bear all this pressure and resist it.
Because he is the Great Protector of Anxi, the Jiedushi Envoy of the Four Towns, and the commander-in-chief of this army.
It was his decision to attack the Fire Wheel Country. Now that the food and grass have been intercepted, he should also be responsible for the results.
Of course, even if the food and grass were cut off, Liu Lin still felt that victory would belong to the Anxi Army, because the Anxi Army had no room for error.
Moreover, he had to hide the news of the interception of food and grass from the Anxi Army.
Once the soldiers of the Anxi Army know this, it will greatly damage the combat effectiveness and confidence of the entire army.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Liu Lin must know when to say what to say.
"Send the order and increase the intensity of the attack on the city. Before the sun sets today, I want to see the flag of the Anxi Army planted on the top of the city."
"Your Majesty the King, the Anxi Army's offensive seems to be getting stronger."
General Oscar saw the Anxi Army's offensives getting stronger and stronger, and he was really worried.
King Ocampos, who was beating drums and cheering on the side, was exhausted at this moment.
He could no longer maintain his physical strength, so he waved his hand feebly and said: "That's all, I will take a rest first. If there is any latest military information, I will report it immediately."
"According to the decree."
Oscar clasped his hands in fists.
In fact, Oscar's heart is pounding right now. He doesn't have much confidence in the army to resist the Anxi army, but what can he say now? He can only bite the bullet and carry it to the end.
After all, what counts at this time is one breath. Whoever can hold on to this breath will be able to take the absolute initiative.
"Pass my order to gather all the militiamen, distribute swords to them, and let them fight against the enemy together."
Oscar, who felt tremendous pressure, had to make this decision.
The role of the militia was originally to assist in defense, but now that the main force is in short supply, the militia needs to step up.
Oscar knows very well that he cannot relax now.
"Shoot an arrow, shoot an arrow."
Although most of the Anxi Army soldiers have reached the city wall and have natural bunkers, and are no longer exposed to the effective range of bows and arrows, there are still some Anxi Army soldiers who can be hit by arrows.
On the one hand, the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom adopted the archer suppression strategy; on the other hand, they smashed down everything they could get their hands on like hell.
Many soldiers of the Anxi Army managed to climb to more than half of the city wall. Just as they were about to reach the top of the city, they were hit hard by boulders and fell down in embarrassment.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army were still very strong in execution and did not stop at all because of this.
Someone will immediately fill the previous vacancy.
Then he climbed towards the city head very quickly.
"These Anxi Army soldiers are really brave and fearless of death."
Seeing this scene, Oscar was completely stunned.
He really didn't understand how such a good person could become like this.
The battle seemed to be heading in an uncontrollable direction from the beginning.
The situation is a bit out of control.
Liu Lin observed everything that happened in front of him with a keen eye.
He knew very well the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Anxi Army.
This is just the beginning, just an appetizer.
The truly exciting meal is yet to come.
There are many factors that determine whether an army is strong, the most important of which is that the army must have strong execution capabilities.
If an army has extremely strong execution capabilities, they can complete impossible tasks in many scenarios.
For example, the enemy is outnumbered, the terrain is disadvantageous, and food and grass are scarce.
Under such extreme conditions, if an army can overcome its fear of the enemy, successfully break through or even win, then this army will be an ace army.
Liu Lin was very convinced that the Anxi Army was such an ace army.
From the beginning, he trained the Anxi Army according to the strictest standards, and now the Anxi Army is also developing in this direction.
Facts have proved that the soldiers of the Anxi Army did not disappoint him. No matter from which angle they looked, they showed off their muscles and showed their desire for victory and honor.
The key to the problem now is when the Anxi Army can end this battle and capture this city.
Liu Lin knew that he still had at most two or three days, so they had to race against time.
"Dadu protect you, look, there are lightning and thunder, it seems like the sky is going to change."
The soldier's words immediately attracted Liu Lin's attention.
He instinctively looked up and saw dark clouds covering the sky, and then lightning appeared through the hazy clouds, like a silver dragon.
Then there was a sound like muffled thunder.
The loud noise can make people's eardrums burst. If you are timid, you may be scared to pee on the spot.
But Liu Lin was not frightened because he knew very well that this was just a small test given to them by God.
But Liu Lin was not sure whether the soldiers of the Anxi Army would be affected.
If the soldiers of the Anxi Army are affected, it means that their wish to capture this city today will be in vain.
This is certainly not what Liu Lin wants to see.
So he immediately ordered: "Keep beating the drum and tell the soldiers not to stop."
Although he couldn't bear it, Liu Lin knew that this was not the time to be soft-hearted.
If he is soft-hearted at this time, he will be irresponsible to himself and the entire Anxi Army.
The war has reached this point, and we are about to achieve final victory. We must not be discouraged at the most critical moment.
"Tell the soldiers to work harder, brothers to work harder!"
Liu Lin was almost roaring.
But God doesn't seem to give him much face.
After lightning and thunder, torrential rain came.
This can really be described as a downpour.
The rain was so heavy that it could reach people's knees in an instant.
For those soldiers who are climbing on the ladder, this is an even more severe test.
Because heavy rain will make the already slippery ladder even more slippery.
Boots will naturally slip when you step on them.
No matter how careful they are, there is still a possibility of missing the mark.
If you step on the air and fall, even if you don't die, you will definitely be seriously injured.
Therefore, they must slow down as much as possible and ensure that they step on the ladder every step of the way.
This gave the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers above the city a chance to breathe.
They were overwhelmed by the Anxi Army's tidal offensive. They were worried that they had no way to fight against it, but it rained heavily.
God is really helping me.
"Work harder, work harder! Why are you still standing there? Just smash these rocks down and send them to see the King of Hell."
The huge rocks were lifted up by the defenders and then smashed down hard.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army who were unfortunate enough to be hit let out a groan and then fell down the ladder.
Huge rocks hit them, and even if they weren't killed on the spot, they would have suffered internal injuries, and they would definitely not live long.
Liu Lin saw it in his eyes and felt sad in his heart.
But there was nothing he could do, at least for now.
He knew very well that what was competing at this time was internal strength, and he must not be soft-hearted.
One general's success and ten thousand bones withered are not just words.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he must not be soft-hearted. If he is soft-hearted, he will be irresponsible to other soldiers who are still working hard.
"Drumming, drumming again!"
According to the tradition of the Anxi Army, the attack cannot be stopped as long as the drum beat does not stop.
Unless the troops are ordered to retreat, soldiers who leave the battlefield without permission and flee for their lives will be punished by military law.
A sudden heavy rain from God added more variables to this originally one-sided battle.
Now the army of the Fire Wheel Nation, which is in a favorable position, seems to have seen hope.
But Liu Lin didn't plan to give them too many opportunities.
As long as possible, he would still eat this city in one bite.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect finally responded.
Although he knew that doing so might expose his position, he had no choice.
The Dark Portal only has a chance to be opened once every thousand years, and the time when it was last opened is unknown.
Moreover, the opening of the Dark Door is two-way, and only when both parties open it at the same time can the shuttle be possible.
If the High Priest of the Demon Sect cannot respond in time and open the dark door of this world, then the knot between the two doors will close.
At that time, it will be difficult to open it up.
So the High Priest of the Demon Sect decided to take the risk.
The results are naturally gratifying.
The other party received the signal he sent.
Shortly after the High Priest of the Demon Sect sent the signal, the shining signal appeared again in the night sky.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was overjoyed.
The two parties finally connected.
Obviously, the person in another world who is manipulating the door to darkness should be a powerful dark wizard.
Although the dark wizard has great magic power, it takes a long time to recover after using a spell.
So this is exactly the same as the High Priest of the Demon Sect.
They all know that the current opportunity is hard to come by, so they will not waste it, but will use their best from the beginning.
The high priest of the Demon Sect sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recite ancient mantras.
It is said that a long time ago, when the two worlds were still connected, people could travel between the two worlds through corridors.
At that time, dark wizards and demon sect priests were essentially two different branches of the same category.
Later, the corridor between the two worlds was closed, and the two worlds were forced to separate.
But even so, there are still some connections between them.
This connection may seem fragile, but in fact it can still play a decisive role at critical moments.
For example, now, the High Priest of the Demon Sect can sense the other party.
Although it is distant and looming, the High Priest of the Demon Sect can still feel it.
"God of Darkness, please bless us to open the door of darkness so that wizards and demons from another world can come to our world. God of Darkness, your servants hereby make the most sincere request to you. God of Darkness,
Please protect me more, God of Darkness."
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was mumbling something, and his eyes were full of pain, as if they were being burned by fire.
It is difficult for ordinary people to explain this phenomenon, but the High Priest of the Demon Sect knows that he is dedicating himself to the devil.
And the devil is the god of darkness in his mouth.
The time for the sacrifice can be long or short, but the sense of ritual must be sufficient.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect knows very well that if he cannot express enough piety, the God of Darkness will feel full of anger and will most likely refuse to open the Door of Darkness.
By then, everything is over.
Therefore, the high priest of the Demon Sect did not hesitate to offer his twenty years of life in exchange for the favor of the God of Darkness.
Not long after, the Demon Sect's high priest's whole body was on fire.
It's just that what he burns is not fire light, but green light.
The whole body of the Demon Sect High Priest was levitated with green light lingering.
His body slowly rose upwards and stopped when he floated into the air.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect was in a state of madness. He was mumbling something, as if he was talking about something.
A moment later, a huge explosion was heard, and then a suspended black hole appeared in front of the Demon Sect High Priest, sucking him in.
"This is it."
The mountain chief took Zhao Xun and other academy disciples all the way to find him.
In front of them was an inconspicuous yurt.
This yurt is neither big nor outstanding, and looks inconspicuous from a distance.
If the mountain chief hadn't been sure that this was the hiding place of the high priest of the Demon Sect, Zhao Xun would not have believed that the dignified leader of the Demon Sect would be hiding in such a small place.
"Chief Mountain, the High Priest of the Demon Sect won't do any tricks, right? Otherwise, we should be more cautious."
Zhao Xun's suggestion is not unreasonable. What people in the Demon Sect are best at are all kinds of destructive tricks.
The more despicable the tricks, the more energetic they become, and they are not ashamed but proud of them.
This made Zhao Xun find it very difficult to understand.
You know, the mountain chief has always been advocating people to be kind.
It can be said that the high priest of the Demon Sect and the mountain chief are two extremes.
One is devoted to good, and the other is devoted to evil.
"No need, I didn't smell his breath, he should have left."
The mountain chief sighed softly.
This made Zhao Xun and others find it incredible.
"It's impossible. We came so fast, how could he run away? Where did he go?"
The mountain chief shook his head and said: "I don't know even if I am a teacher. He ran very thoroughly, and you can't smell his breath for a hundred miles."
Damn it.
Zhao Xun called him an expert in his heart.
He thought to himself, Shan Chang doesn’t have a dog’s nose, can he smell it?
Good guy, he is worthy of being a mountain leader.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Xun to say this directly.
"Let's go in and take a look."
After saying this, the mountain chief took the lead and took the lead, opening the curtain and entering the yurt.
"The charcoal fire in the brazier is still burning, which means that the High Priest of the Demon Sect has not gone far."
Shan Chang keenly captured the details in the yurt.
According to this statement, the High Priest of the Demon Sect should have just evacuated.
But the mountain chief said that he couldn't smell the scent of the Demon Sect's high priest within a hundred miles. How to explain this?
Zhao Xun thinks this is a bit unreasonable.
It stands to reason that even if the High Priest of the Demon Sect had great Qinggong, he would not reach such a miraculous level.
If he really has such a powerful ability, wouldn't it mean that the academy will never be able to catch him?
The mountain leader seemed to have noticed something and sniffed carefully in the yurt.
This reminded Zhao Xun of a spirit dog in a bad way.
Well, it's really quite similar.
After about a while of sniffing a cup of tea, the mountain leader stopped, his expression a little solemn.
"He should have opened the door of darkness and entered the void space."
Huh? What?
What does Shan Chang mean? The Demon Sect's high priest has opened the door of darkness and entered the void space at this moment?
Apart from the High Priest of the Demon Sect, Zhao Xun really couldn't think of anyone else.
"Well, if that's the case, it would be really scary."
Zhao Xun understood what the mountain leader was worried about at the moment. If the high priest of the Demon Sect really entered the void space and worked with the black wizard from another world, it would be possible to directly break the knot.
When that time comes, demons from another world can enter the world where Zhao Xun and the others are now through this corridor.
It's terrible, it's really terrible.
Zhao Xun now finally understood why he always had that bizarre dream.
Not only was it the invasion of the Demon Sect's High Priest, it was probably because he was a prophet and could see clearly what was about to happen in the future.
In other words, the high priest of the Demon Sect knew that he was a prophet, so he deliberately invaded his dream to observe what was about to happen?
"So Chief Shan, what should we do now?"
When encountering a problem, Zhao Xun habitually wants to ask the mountain chief, because the mountain chief is currently the most powerful practitioner in the world where they live.
As long as the problem can be solved by the mountain leader, it is actually not a problem.
If even the mountain chief can't solve it, it proves that the problem is indeed very difficult.
"We also have to enter the void. In other words, we have to enter the void."
The mountain chief's expression was very serious.
"With your current cultivation level, it is difficult to enter the void. Even if you forcefully enter, you will have to face the situation of insufficient realm and damaged soul."
The mountain leader sighed and said, "Master I don't want you to take such a big risk, so I'd better do it myself."
Tsk tsk
The chief of the mountain really loves his disciples.
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a while.
"Uh, Chief Shan, what I'm saying is that there's no way to communicate in that void space. For example, with teleportation or something like that, are you unable to receive information?"
What Zhao Xun was thinking about was how they would contact the mountain leader if he entered this void space.
Teleportation is obviously the simplest and fastest way.
But they have to face a problem, that is, whether the teleportation technique will fail.
"Teleportation? Don't think about it. Any cultivation spell in the void space will not work."
The mountain chief's words further strengthened Zhao Xun's judgment.
It seems that his previous judgment was correct. This void space is actually a huge shield.
In this space, almost everyone's connections are cut off.
So of course the teleportation spell will be ineffective.
"If this is the case, Chief Shan, what should we do if we want to contact you?"
Long Qingquan looked very anxious.
The relationship between him and the mountain leader is very subtle. He seems to be a master and apprentice, but also like a father and son.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Long Qingquan to watch the mountain chief step into a dangerous place.
Although he knew very well that with the mountain leader's cultivation and magical power, it was impossible for ordinary people to hurt him.
But this is a void space after all, and what will happen in it is completely unknown.
Even the head of the mountain has never set foot in this space before.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed very dangerous.
"Don't be afraid, there will be no danger as a teacher."
The mountain chief obviously understood Long Qingquan very well, he smiled slightly and said: "No one in this world can do anything to kill me as a teacher. As long as I don't want to die, even God can do nothing."
There is a hint of frivolity in Shanzhang's calmness, just like the temperament that an academy person should have.
At this moment, everyone including Long Qingquan felt at ease.
Yes, Chief Shan dared to say this because of his strong strength and full self-confidence.
Because of this, they should show their big heart as academy people.
"Disciple understands, then disciple is waiting here for the good news from the chief."
After Long Qingquan expressed his stance, other academy disciples, including Zhao Xun, also expressed their blessings to the mountain leader.
Next, it depends on how the mountain leader does it.
After all, the void space is not that easy to enter.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect did not leave any clues when he left. It is not an easy task to enter this void space in a short time.
The mountain leader smiled faintly, and then his whole body floated up.
He sat cross-legged, and a huge golden lotus appeared under him.
At this moment, all the academy disciples were stunned.
Shouldn't this lotus be a magical weapon for Taoist practitioners? Why can the mountain chief also summon it?
Could it be that we really agree with the saying that all practitioners in the world belong to the same family?
The mountain leader didn't care at all about the surprise of his disciples, and kept muttering something in his mouth.
As he recited the incantation deeply, the golden light around the mountain leader shot out in all directions.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
I saw the golden light flashing, and the mountain leader disappeared.
A big living person disappeared under their noses!
Even Zhao Xun couldn't believe what happened.
Isn't this a bit too magical?
"Third Senior Brother, Chief Shan, has he entered the void space?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister?"
"Junior brother, don't ask us, we are just blind."
"Sixth Senior Brother, Tenth Senior Brother?"
Zhao Xun turned to Lu Guangdou and others.
"Junior brother, this is the first time we meet."
This time Zhao Xun was completely confused.
What is this?
The mountain chief doesn't want to play like this. When you disappear like this, we can only wait?
Alas, we are indeed in a different world from the big boss. At the moment, we can only hope that the mountain chief will defeat the high priest of the Demon Sect and block the corridor between the Dark Gate and return victoriously.
Western Region, Fire Wheel Country.
The battle has entered a fever pitch.
Both the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers and the Anxi Army soldiers used their utmost strength.
They knew very well that both sides were already relying on their breath to support themselves.
If anyone lets out a sigh of relief first, the other party will seize the opportunity to expand their advantage wantonly.
The heavy rain had a great impact on both sides, but the Anxi Army was obviously more affected.
Because they are the attacking party.
On the offensive side, there is greater pressure in the slippery environment and less room for error.
A slight mistake could directly lead to the collapse of their entire plan.
But Liu Lin had no chance of retreating.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
Now that their food supply has been cut off, if they cannot capture the city in front of them within three days, they will face the embarrassing situation of running out of food.
This is an army of 80,000 people. What does an army of 80,000 people mean?
Liu Lin couldn't imagine what the situation would be like if there was no food supply.
Therefore, they must attack fiercely and take over the Fire Wheel Country. There is no other choice.
"Brothers, if you work harder, we will almost succeed."
Facing the situation of climbing to the top of the city, a captain of the vanguard roared.
He knew that success or failure depended on one move, and he must not be discouraged at this time.
You can climb to the top of the city as long as you work hard.
"Brothers, please work harder, we are almost up."
As long as they climb to the top of the city, the Anxi Army will have a lot of room to perform.
The execution ability of the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army was not particularly strong. With the encouragement of the captain, the vanguard soldiers charged very fast.
The Fire Wheel Nation soldiers at the top of the city panicked when they saw this.
They couldn't imagine that the other party's execution ability was so powerful.
Facing the torrential rain, he was still able to charge to the city head with ease.
"Quick, poke them down!"
The rolling wood and stones had all disappeared by this time, and now the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers could only hope to use the spears in their hands to pose a threat to the soldiers of the Anxi Army.
As the saying goes, an inch long is an inch strong, and the deterrent effect of the spear at this time is still quite powerful.
They didn't need to think too much, they just needed to gather enough strength to stab the Anxi Army soldiers with their spears.
If nothing else, not even the Mingguang Armor could stop the spear's full blow at such a close range.
Generally speaking, it will be the result of one spear and one bloody hole.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army have undergone special training, and their dexterity is extraordinary.
It is difficult for ordinary people to easily dodge a spear shot at such a close range, but they can.
The Fire Wheel Nation soldiers on top of the city were stunned.
They couldn't believe that the soldiers of the Anxi Army could avoid their fatal blow so easily.
"Quickly, stop them quickly. If you don't want to die, just give it to me."
"Yes, don't let these guys rush up. You should use all your strength."
The officers of the Fire Wheel Nation were going crazy.
They couldn't believe how dexterous the soldiers of the Anxi Army were.
If this trend continues, it won't be long before the soldiers of the Anxi Army rush to the top of the city and kill them all.
No matter in terms of armor equipment or combat effectiveness, they are incomparable with the Anxi Army.
The reason why they have been able to survive until now is all due to this strong city and God's help.
If it hadn't been for this sudden heavy rain, everything would have been over long ago.
But there will always be a moment when the rain stops.
What if the rain stops? What if they can't do anything to the Anxi Army?
The soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom were in extreme fear at this moment.
It's not that they are too incompetent, it's that the Anxi Army's combat effectiveness is simply too strong.
They could not imagine why the fighting power of the Central Plains people was so terrifying.
The climbing skills of the soldiers of the Anxi Army were indeed outstanding. Even in such slippery conditions, they still rushed to the top of the city very lightly.
The Anxi Army soldiers who rushed to the city first were few in number, but they knew they would play a decisive role.
As pioneers, their responsibility is to stand firm first. Even if it is only a small position, it will be a very solid foundation for the subsequent Paoze.
As long as they can gain a firm foothold, everything else will become easier.
"Brothers, kill!"
An Anxi military lieutenant drew his standard horizontal sword and shouted loudly towards the enemy in front of him.
He doesn't have the slightest fear, even if the enemy is outnumbered, he will fight until the last moment.
Because he knew very well that this was a critical period for the final showdown.
Captain Anxi's bravery obviously frightened the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom.
In their opinion, this Anxi Army soldier must be crazy.
There are only a dozen of them, so why should they fight against the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers who are dozens or hundreds of times their size?
Do you really think you have three heads and six arms?
In other words, even if you really have three heads and six arms, you won’t be an opponent, right?
"Brothers, don't be afraid, charge forward. There are many of us, and we can chop him into pieces with just one knife."
"Yes, brothers, this guy is just bluffing, there is nothing to be afraid of at all. Brothers, let's go up and chop him into pieces!"
"Kill, kill, kill, charge!"
The Fire Wheel Nation soldiers undoubtedly had an absolute numerical advantage, which enabled them to suppress the Anxi Army's desire to expand their position from the very beginning.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army did not panic. For them, it would be best if they could expand their position.
If not, it is acceptable to hold on to the small corner they currently have.
They are now in a corner, so even though the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers have an obvious numerical advantage, it is not too obvious.
The powerful officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army stood shoulder to shoulder and back to back.
They huddled together for warmth and took advantage of the terrain to hold on to their positions.
Every time they hold on for a moment longer, the robes who climb up the ladder will have more opportunities to resist the enemy.
And it's a perfect circle.
Seeing that although they had the numerical advantage, they could not kill the first batch of Anxi Army vanguards who rushed to the city, Oscar panicked a little.
He knew he couldn't let the situation develop like this.
If this continues, it will be very beneficial to the Anxi Army.
The further back we drag, the greater the advantage the Anxi Army will have, and the further we go back, the greater the disadvantage the Fire Wheel Army will have.
One will wax and wane, and the difference will be very obvious.
"Cheer up my spirits. If you don't want to have your head cut off by the Anxi Army, cheer up!"
Oscar shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come on, I'll rush you. Is it because I haven't had enough to eat or something? Come on!"
Under his hoarse shouts, the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom woke up as if from a dream.
At first, no one was willing to rush to the front.
Because the momentum displayed by the vanguard of the Anxi Army was so great that no one dared to actually step forward to fight, they were all relying on the bluff of the large number of people.
But now they realize that they cannot continue like this. The vanguard of the Anxi Army is obviously adopting delaying tactics.
As long as they are held back, there is no doubt that the Anxi Army itself will benefit in the end.
Oscar woke up the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers with one word, and the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers gathered together and attacked the Anxi Army soldiers who were already small in number.
"Brothers, go ahead, kill one to earn one, kill two to earn a pair."
Seeing that the other party was getting serious, the Anxi military captain raised his sword above his head and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come for revenge. These are our enemies. They made us lose the four towns of Anxi. Now we
If you come back, you will have to make them pay with blood."
"Blood debt must be paid with blood! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army were all passionate men, and at this moment they were inspired to fight and shouted.
"Our Anxi Army officers are not cowards. We will fight with them!"
"Yes, despite the large number of them, they all have silver-gun-like hair, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Haha, all the bastards in the Western Regions have a certain virtue. Even though they have a large number of people, they are actually a bunch of rabble. Everyone, please work harder and resist."
"Persistence is victory. As long as there are hundreds of robes standing firm at the top of our city, victory will definitely belong to us."
The officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army cheered each other up. They were the first to rush to the city, so of course they had to play the role of a bridgehead.
Even if they fall in the end, they must persist until a new batch of robes climb to the top of the city and can replace them.
"Brothers, come on!"
They formed a group to keep each other warm and encourage each other.
Facing the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers who were ten times and a hundred times their size, the fighting qualities of Anxi soldiers were demonstrated.
They are as tough as Populus euphratica, without any fear.
The soldiers of the Fire Wheel Nation had no reservations at this moment, because they knew that the longer they delayed, the worse it would be for them.
What they can do now is to suppress the Anxi Army's space as much as possible, causing the Anxi Army to become exhausted and eventually lose its combat effectiveness.
After all, they still have an absolute numerical advantage.
The number of Anxi Army is so large, even a wheel battle can exhaust the dozens of soldiers of Anxi Army to death.
But something unexpected happened to them, and lightning struck in the sky again.
This time, it hit the spears of many Fire Wheel Nation soldiers.
Dozens of Fire Wheel Nation soldiers were electrocuted to death in an instant, which shocked these guys who were already frightened.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army got a rare respite.
For them, this is a good opportunity to rest.
Even just for a moment can help relieve their nervousness.
After all, it is impossible for people to be in a state of tension all the time. Even an iron man cannot bear it.
This rare opportunity gave Anxi Army soldiers confidence.
They firmly believe that as long as they persist, they will have the last laugh.
There was already chaos in the palace.
King Ocampos is planning an escape.
Although there is currently a fierce battle between the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Nation and the Anxi Army at the top of the city, Ocampos does not think that his army will have the last laugh. He has to prepare for the worst.
In this way, even if the Anxi Army really invades the city, he will be able to evacuate immediately.
Seeing this, Hasalka also came over.
"Is there a tunnel inside the palace? I mean the tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city."
Hasalka successfully evacuated Yule City through this tunnel, so now he is looking forward to the same tunnel in Huolun. If so, they can leave easily.
"Authentic? Of course."
Ocampos said: "Isn't the tunnel standard in a city-state like ours? Coups are too frequent. If there are no tunnels, if the ministers launch a coup, we don't even have a place to hide. How can this be done?"
Hasalka was convinced by what Ocampos said.
"Yes, then let's run away from the tunnel as soon as possible."
"Why are you in a hurry? Let's prepare clothes, gold and silver first. It depends on the situation. If the Anxi army fails to fight in, why should we run? If the outer city is lost, it won't be too late for us to run again."
At this moment, Ocampos dislikes Hasalka.
In his opinion, it was because of Hasalka's appearance that his originally peaceful and luxurious life became tense.
In other words, it was Hasalka who led the Anxi army to the Fire Wheel Country.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Ocampos's insistence on saving face and suffering.
If Ocampos had insisted not to accept Hasalka from the beginning, or had handed Hasalka directly to the Anxi Army, perhaps there would not have been so many troubles.
After Ocampos took in Hasalka, he angered the Anxi army.
The Anxi Army thought this was a blatant provocation to them, so they decided to send troops to attack.
Of course Ocampos is extremely regretful now, but there is no place in the world that sells regret medicine.
So even if he regrets it, it will be of no use.
All he can do now is reluctantly recognize Hasalka as a brother, hoping to protect the Fire Wheel Kingdom.
If you really can't defend the Fire Wheel Kingdom, you will have no choice but to start wandering.
Where will they go in exile?
Maybe continue west.
But Ocampos didn't know where they would end up next.
The Western Region is so big that there will always be a place for them, right?
"Very good, very good, try harder."
Liu Lin, who was fighting outside the city, clenched his fists in excitement when he saw more and more Anxi troops rushing towards the city.
He really did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Anxi Army was so strong. In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Country were as insignificant as children.
"It seems that it is very possible to capture this city before sunset today."
This is undoubtedly good news for Liu Lin and the Anxi Army.
"Where's the battering ram, storming the opponent's city gate."
Although he knew that the Fire Wheel Kingdom had already reinforced the city gate, he still wanted the soldiers to storm the opponent's city gate.
The reason is that it can distract the Fire Wheel Nation's defenders.
If the Anxi army only focuses its attack on the city head, then the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom only need to gather enough strength to deploy heavy troops on the city head for defense.
In this way, the pressure faced by the Anxi Army will be very great, and the resistance it will face will be unimaginable.
Liu Lin certainly didn't want this to happen.
So he wanted to distract the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers.
He knew very well that if a part of the soldiers could be allocated to attack the gate of Huolun City, then no matter how effective the army they sent was, the defenders of Huolun Kingdom would also be able to dedicate some of their men to assist in the defense.
But it is not necessarily the case that the Anxi Army cannot directly break through the city gate. If they can break through the city gate, everything that follows will become easier.
They can directly lead the army into the city and take over all the city gates, just like they did in Jile City.
Even if they failed to break open the city gate, they bought enough time for the Anxi military robes who were fighting at the top of the city.
Nowadays, time is the most precious thing. With time, there is the prerequisite for everything.
"One, two, three, hit!"
"One, two, three, hit again!"
The soldiers of the Anxi Army took the trouble to hold the battering ram and hit the city gate again and again.
At this moment, the defenders of the Fire Wheel Country had almost no means to threaten them.
The only thing they had to face was the city gate, which was as solid as a mountain peak.
"Obviously, there is something behind this city gate." Gu Wei
"Don't worry, we just need to hit it."
"Well, even if it was hit by a huge boulder, it would break into pieces!"
"Hold on, hold on for me. The Anxi Army is starting to hit the city gate again, you must hold on!"
The general of the Huolun Army who was responsible for guarding the city gate roared loudly.
Although countless boulders have been piled up at the city gate, it stands to reason that there won't be any big problems.
But don't be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
It would be a big deal if he was really knocked open by the Anxi Army.
Even if it is just a small hole, if it falls into the hands of the Anxi Army, they will expand it infinitely.
This is definitely not what they want to see.
"Work harder, we must not let in a single soldier from the Anxi Army. The people in the Central Plains are very hostile to us, and they will not let us go."
At this moment, the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom had already been scared to death.
They didn't know why the soldiers of the Anxi Army hated them so much, as if there was sworn hatred between them.
Didn't they just rebel once and fight against the Anxi Army?
But this is completely normal among the countries in the Western Region.
One moment they call you brothers, and the next they draw their swords and start a fight.
Why does it seem like Anxi Army can't accept it anymore?
The worst they can do is surrender.
Of course, surrender is not at this point in time. We must rub the spirit of the Anxi Army and tell the Anxi Army that they are not easy to bully.
Otherwise they are just fish on a chopping board to be slaughtered.
When the Anxi army is unable to attack for a long time, it should be the most reasonable outcome for the Huolun Kingdom to propose peace talks and reach a condition acceptable to both sides.
But now they must not give in.
"Hold it, hold it all to me!"
But at this moment, the Anxi Army's killer trebuchet started again.
Stones the size of millstones were smashed by Anxi military trebuchets.
Most of the stones hit the city head, but a small number of stones also hit the area behind the city wall.
This was a hardship for the soldiers responsible for guarding the inner city gate.
On one hand, they had to hold against the city gate to prevent it from being knocked open by the Anxi army. On the other hand, they had to beware of huge rocks falling from the sky.
These huge stones are as big as a millstone. If someone is hit by them, they will be smashed into a pulp on the spot.
"Thousand-Knife-killing Central Plains people know how to play dirty tricks and have the ability to fight head-on. I will stab him with a white knife in and a red knife out!"
At this moment, the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom were cursing and cursing all the eighteen generations of ancestors of the soldiers of the Anxi Army.
But the huge rocks did not stop because of their abuse.
These stones continued to fall down, causing the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom to panic.
"The Central Plains people who have killed a thousand swords deserve to die, they really deserve to die!"
"I'm going to fight you guys!"
Although they shouted to be happy, no one dared to open the city gate and fight with the soldiers of Anxi Army.
Because they knew very well that they were no match for the Anxi Army.
If they didn't have this extremely strong city to rely on, their heads would have been cut off long ago.
"Brothers, work harder, everyone, work harder!"
On the other side, the soldiers of the Anxi Army took their unity to the extreme.
They knew very well that the opponent was already at the end of its defense, and as long as they exerted more force, they would most likely be able to knock the city gate open cleanly.
By then, it's all over.
The battle for control of the city is becoming increasingly fierce.
As more and more Anxi Army soldiers boarded the city, the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom gradually felt tremendous pressure.
It was like a giant python wrapped around their bodies, and then slowly tightened, making them feel short of breath or even difficult.
And this pressure is gradually increasing.
It wasn't too obvious at first, but as Anxi's army exerted more force, this feeling became more and more obvious.
Almost everyone held their breath.
Now there are four to five hundred Anxi troops at the top of the city. They have been able to form the simplest formation and make targeted adjustments in the face of the enemy's attack.
this point is very important.
Because facing different attack modes, they need to adjust their strategies in time to better respond.
But it is obvious that they are very confident and this can be clearly seen in every detail.
"Everyone, please work harder. As long as we have a thousand people, we can completely control the situation at the top of the city."
Although the number of enemy troops at the city head was thousands or even tens of thousands, the Anxi Army had this confidence.
This is the experience they have accumulated through battle after battle.
They believe in themselves and Pao Ze.
It is this trust that has allowed them to get where they are today.
The soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom were now completely panicked.
They launched attacks again and again, but were easily defeated by the soldiers of the Anxi Army again and again.
They found that they seemed a little weak when facing the Anxi Army. No matter what moves they used, they seemed to be calculated, and it was difficult to exert their full strength.
This feeling of being pinned down by an opponent was very unpleasant, but they were helpless for a while.
They feel like they are slowly dying, and this feeling is really terrible.
"Maybe we should try another approach."
"Quickly, try throwing these thunderbolts over there."
"Isn't this a unique secret technique of the Western Tantric Sect? It is said that it is still in the experimental stage. Do you really want to use it now?"
"It's already a matter of life and death. There's nothing to hesitate about. Just go ahead."
"That's true. If you don't try now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Okay, throw the damn thing away, smash these to pieces and blow them up to death."
For a moment, the soldiers of the Fire Wheel Kingdom also became furious.
They knew they couldn't continue like this.
If you continue like this, you will die slowly.
So even if the thunderbolt created by the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions has not yet been used on a large scale, they decided to give it a try.
Anyway, a dead horse is treated as a living horse.
I saw them escaping from Hongtian Lei one after another, and then threw them hard at the soldiers of the Anxi Army.
The thunderbolt hit the formation of Anxi Army soldiers and did not explode immediately.
So much so that many Anxi Army soldiers were still staring at it curiously.
They had never seen anything like this before, so curiosity was inevitable.
But what happened next made them no longer curious.
But a huge roar was heard, and then thunder exploded from the sky.
The shock wave generated by the huge explosion directly blew many Anxi Army soldiers away, and then all the Anxi Army soldiers started wailing.
Some of them were killed on the spot, while others were injured.
The injuries varied, some had their arms and legs blown off, and some had their stomachs pierced.
Pain was written all over their faces, and everyone was enveloped in despair.
I have to say that the effect of this sky-shattering thunder developed by the Western Tantric Sect is really terrifying.
For a time, the Anxi Army was bombed and suffered terribly.
The position they had managed to hold on to was naturally given up.
Liu Lin's heart went cold when he saw this.
"how so."
The good situation suddenly turned around.
This thunderous thunder looks too terrifying.
Of course he wouldn't know that this so-called thunderbolt is a must-have for the study of esoteric sects in the Western Regions.
It is simply impossible for ordinary people to withstand it.
Even the soldiers of the Anxi Army could not resist it.
The flesh and blood body looks so fragile when it explodes.
The Fire Wheel Nation soldiers seemed to have opened an unknown door and were extremely ecstatic.
"The God of Fire has appeared. It must be the God of Fire."
They originally worshiped the god of fire, and it was the thunderous explosion that saved them when they faced huge pressure.
They naturally attributed everything to the God of Fire.
"Thank God, Vulcan has blessed us. Vulcan has blessed us."
"What are you waiting for? Keep throwing the extra thunder out of the city."
Although they have now gained complete control of the city, there are still countless Anxi troops charging outside the city.
If they cannot repel these Anxi troops immediately, they can still climb up the city again along the ladder.
These are definitely not what the Fire Wheel Nation soldiers want to see.
They now look at the Anxi Army as if they have seen a nightmare.
"Damn it, really damn it."
The soldiers of the Anxi Army will be much more depressed now.
They are really not willing to accept that their good situation was destroyed by a thunderbolt.
But what's the point of not being willing to give in? The lethality of this thing is really too great, and ordinary people can't withstand it at all.
The soldiers of the Anxi Army were not made of copper and cast iron. How could they face the explosion without being frightened?
Facing the thundering thunder dropped by the defenders of the Fire Wheel Kingdom, the Anxi army was in chaos for a while.
The soldiers instinctively wanted to escape, even if the soldiers of the Military Law Corps waved their swords, it was of no avail.
"Don't run, don't even run!"
The generals of the Anxi Army were going crazy.
If this situation continues, there will only be one result, and that is the end of everything.
They will starve to death due to lack of food, and the countries in the Western Region can rely on this battle to completely reverse their decline.
The Anxi Army's plan to return to the Western Regions will be abandoned.
Liu Lin was naturally very nervous.
But he knew that the Anxi soldiers' emotions had reached a critical point at this moment.
No matter what he said at this time, it would be useless.
Soon, the battle ended with the defeat of Anxi's army.
Liu Lin was very angry, but anger was of no use.
Not only will it not be of positive help, it will also greatly affect everyone's emotions.
So after some careful consideration, Liu Lin controlled his emotions and ordered the withdrawal of troops.
This battle definitely cannot continue, and almost half of the soldiers showed panic.
Forced fighting under such circumstances will only be counterproductive.
Liu Lin knew very well that retreating and calming the soldiers' emotions was the most important thing to do at this time.
He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that the other party would use a special skill like the Thunderbolt to crush the enemy.
But now that the opponent has shown his killer move, it proves that he is on the verge of collapse.
As long as the Anxi Army can deal with the opponent's thunderbolt, the battle will be simple and easy.
After adjusting his mood, Liu Lin ordered to summon several deputy generals, and he wanted to discuss countermeasures with these deputy generals in person.
Fire Wheel Kingdom, Royal Palace.
King Ocampos was extremely excited when he learned that the Anxi army had withdrawn.
He couldn't believe what was happening.
At first, he thought it was the Anxi Army that retreated on its own initiative, but after learning that it was repelled by the Huolun Army, Ocampos jumped up excitedly regardless of his manners.
This was beyond his expectation, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a surprise.
Also ecstatic was Hasalka.
This victory meant that they no longer had to worry about the Anxi Army attacking the city in a short time.
After this battle, the Anxi Army's vitality was severely damaged, and it would take some time for them to recuperate.
They no longer need to escape from the city through tunnels and wander around.
"I didn't expect that the thunderbolt of the Western Region Tantric Sect is so effective. Unfortunately, I only bought a few hundred. It would be nice to buy more and save them."
Ocampos mentioned Hasalka's pain points, which made Hasalka feel very embarrassed.
You must know that Ocampos bought less, while Hasalka did not buy at all.
At that time, he felt that the thunderbolts sold to him by the Western Region Tantric Sect were of no use at all, so he did not buy any of them.
But now it turns out that his judgment was wrong.
The effect of the thunderbolt is very good, and it plays a decisive role in determining the success or failure of the war.
If it weren't for this thunderous thunder, this battle would probably have a completely different outcome, right?
"Now that the Anxi Army is bound to retreat, what we have to do now is to send messengers to start an alliance with other countries, and tell them to prepare more of these thunders, which will definitely have good results."
In Ocampos' view, this thunder was nothing more than a killer weapon.
It is not easy to take it out and use it, but as long as you take it out and use it, it will have unexpected effects.
After this battle, the Anxi Army will definitely be very wary of Hongtianlei, and will definitely not dare to attack a country that has Hongtianlei again.
Spring is coming in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions!
"Dadu Protector, it's all the fault of the general. The general was careless and underestimated the enemy. He didn't expect these idiots to have such sharp things. Please punish them."
"Yes, Protector-at-Large, we have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. Please also protect Protector-at-law to punish you."
The two generals knelt down in the tent, looking ashamed.
They did not dare to look into Liu Lin's eyes and lowered their heads.
Liu Lin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? How could I, the general, blame you?"
He helped the two of them up one after another, and then sighed: "No one thought of this. Not to mention you, even this general didn't think of it. Who could have expected that these bastards can have such strange skills?"
.”
In Liu Lin's impression, Feng Hao had used similar spells, but Feng Hao was a practitioner, and it was natural for practitioners to know spells.
But these idiots are just playing with some objects, but they can produce the same effect as the practitioners' spells.
This really makes people feel a little incredible, and Liu Lin is also puzzled.
"Perhaps they used the practitioners' spells to enchant these round bumps?"
One of the lieutenants carefully put forward his point of view.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Liu Lin couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart after hearing the deputy general's words.
"If it is really possessed, wouldn't it mean that it has the power of a practitioner? No wonder we can't defeat it."
Another lieutenant also followed the conversation and said.
I have to say that these two people are very eloquent. They handed a pole and climbed up.
Liu Lin has truly seen how powerful practitioners are, so he knows very well what the two of them said is true.
You must not be careless when facing practitioners.
Ordinary people, not even soldiers, can't compete with practitioners. Now they are really in trouble.
Liu Lin cleared his throat and said: "Withdraw the troops and ask the brothers to save some food. There are still a few days until we return to Yule City. Three sections will be reduced to two meals, which is barely enough to eat."
"What, you want to withdraw your troops, Protector-General?"
"Why don't you withdraw your troops and wait to die here?"
Liu Lin glared at the deputy general and said: "Now that our army's food and grass have been intercepted, we only have less than three days' worth of food and grass left. This food and grass is barely enough to return to Yule City. If the fierce battle continues, who of you can guarantee three days' worth of food and grass?"
Will we definitely be able to capture this city within a few days?"
"this"
Liu Lin's question knocked the two lieutenants down.
They are really not sure, and they don't dare to make this guarantee. They were just talking strong words.
"Okay, we will withdraw our troops now. However, the morale of our troops is low now. What if we are pursued by the enemy at this time?"
One of the lieutenants asked worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Liu Lin waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. I'm sure the enemy will not pursue us. Their frontal strength is very weak, and they can only rely on the practitioners' spells to barely repel us. If they dare to go out of the city to pursue us at this time, then
Let’s kill one of them and send them to see the King of Hell.”
Ellen Lore Continent.
Countless dark wizards sensed the opening of the Dark Portal.
They came to the place where the Dark Portal opened one after another, and used black magic to enter the void.
The void environment is very cramped, and everyone can feel depressed.
But they are willing to endure this oppression in order to reach another world.
Because they know very well that these depressions are only temporary, and it won't take long for them to find the nodules.
As long as the node is opened, the corridor between the two worlds is completely connected, and they can travel to the other world through this corridor unimpeded.
Not long ago, the wizard from another world sent them a feedback signal, and they expected that the dark door in the other world would also be opened.
The only problem left is to find the nodule and open it.
This sounds simple, but it is not easy to actually do it.
The main reason is that the nodule is too small, and the empty space is like a sea.
To find a knot is like finding a grain of sand in the ocean.
It is definitely difficult to achieve by human power.
So dark wizards used black magic.
This kind of black magic is very powerful and can carry out large-scale searches in a huge space.
Any area searched by them will send out an echo.
Dark wizards can judge whether there are obstacles based on the size of the echo.
If there are obstacles, the echo sound will be completely different.
So it's only a matter of time before they find the nodule.
The dark wizard decided to spread out his actions, each person covering an area, and eventually everyone was summarizing the information.
This can greatly improve the inspection efficiency.
At the same time, on the other side of the void space, the High Priest of the Demon Sect was also searching for the location of the node.
But compared to the dark wizards, he is alone and can only rely on himself.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect felt very nervous because he knew that there was not much time left for him.
He could clearly feel that the Chief of the Mountain was behind him. Although he did not know the exact location of the Chief of the Mountain, the High Priest of the Demon Sect knew that the Chief of the Mountain was here.
The High Priest of the Demon Sect knew that he had to search quickly.
The mountain chief is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will only be a matter of time to find him sooner or later.
If he was chased by the mountain chief, the Demon Sect's high priest wouldn't even have a place to hide in this empty space.
The prerequisite for using the magic of the Demon Sect is that there must be obstructions and obstacles, so that the strength of the Demon Sect practitioner can be maximized.
If not, it means that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, and any spell she casts will be seen by the enemy.
In this case, even illusions are useless.
But as long as the High Priest of the Demon Sect can open the knot before the mountain chief arrives, everything will be different.
Dark wizards from another world will bring all the devils, devils, dragons, trolls, and orcs from that world to this world.
So what if the mountain is strong?
Two fists are no match for four. How can Shan Chang resist all of them?
This is impossible!
The High Priest of the Demon Sect firmly believes that human power has its limits, even for practitioners.
Although Shan Chang is very strong, in the final analysis he is also a human being of flesh and blood.
As long as you are human, you will have your limits, and it is impossible for the mountain leader to break through this limit.
Even using wheel fighting is enough to bring down the mountain commander.
Moreover, black witchcraft has the effect of a curse, and the mountain leader's mana will slowly drain away as the curse deepens.
At that time, the High Priest of the Demon Sect even had a chance to take revenge.
He can fight the mountain leader one-on-one. In this case, no one can stop the high priest of the Demon Sect.
The mountain chief only has the power to protect himself, and it is impossible for him to insult the high priest of the Demon Sect like before.
When he thought of this, the High Priest of the Demon Sect felt inexplicably excited.
He had been waiting for this day for too long.
When it really comes, I can't contain my excitement.
Come on, let him find this node. As long as he can open this node, everything will be over.
The mountain is long and floating in the void.
It was slightly different from what he imagined. This empty space was more like a swamp.
Everything around was pitch black.
The mountain leader can clearly understand what it means to be invisible.
He once tried to force out his true energy to illuminate, but the effect was not very good.
The illuminated light could only brighten the environment around him, but it was still pitch black when he continued to look into the distance.
This is a truly wild land, with no signs of life at all.
It is not easy to find traces of the Demon Sect's high priest in such an environment.
The mountain chief felt that it would be difficult for him to discover the high priest of the Demon Sect in a short period of time.
At this moment, he remembered what his young apprentice Zhao Xun said again. At this moment, it was impossible to contact the academy disciples.
But now that he has entered the void space, now that he has set foot on this path, there is no possibility of turning back.
If the High Priest of the Demon Sect is not found and killed, countless demons will come to their world along this passage and cause harm to the world.
The mountain chief will not allow this to happen.
"Junior brother, there has been no news from Shanzhang for so long. Maybe something happened."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan said worriedly.
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about here? Shanzhang is so strong. Naturally, Ji Ren has his own destiny. How could something happen to him?"
"Oh, Second Senior Sister, that's what I said, don't worry about it."
Seeing Second Senior Sister Liu Yingying glare at him fiercely, Long Qingquan shrank his neck and stepped back subconsciously.
Among the academy, the person Long Qingquan was most afraid of was naturally his second senior sister Liu Yingying.
In terms of his personality, he is really a master of one thing.
Long Qingquan was no match for Liu Yingying.
"In my opinion, it is impossible for the mountain chief to find the high priest of the Demon Sect in a short period of time. The void space is said to be very dark, and it is difficult to see even the top practitioners entering it."
Senior Sister Xiao Ning sighed.
"At this time, the importance of my golden compass is reflected. If there is a golden compass, there will definitely be no problem with positioning."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Seeing that Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou was acting as an afterthought at this time, Zhao Xun said angrily.
"Oh, junior brother, the mountain commander didn't mention it at that time. Besides, with the strong character of the mountain commander, how could he be willing to accept my golden compass?"
Lu Guangdou spread his hands and said helplessly.
"That seems to be the case too."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with what Sixth Senior Brother said.
"Then what should we do now, just wait here?"
Zhao Xun was really helpless.
"What else can we do if we don't wait? Junior brother, please don't forget that our academy is only governed by the leader. Since the leader told us to wait for his news, we naturally have to obey his orders.
ah."
Zhao Xun had no choice but to agree with this opinion.
But there will be no time difference between the void space and this world, just like the chessboard space.
If there really was a jet lag, that would be a funny moment.
"So there is no point for us to stay here any longer. Let's go back to Zhongnan Mountain. The younger brother's family is still in the academy, and now that the mountain chief is not around, it would be bad if the imperial court wants to take action against them."
Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan reminded.
This reminder made Zhao Xun's heart lift into his throat.
You know what he is most worried about now is his family.
As we all know, Emperor Xianlong is a dog emperor who doesn't want to be a son of man. He suffered such a big blow in front of Zhao Xun and the mountain chief, and he will definitely find an opportunity to seek revenge and come back.
The reason why Emperor Xianlong has not taken action so far is because he has not found the right time yet.
Now that the mountain chief has left, the academy is leaderless. If Emperor Xianlong finds out about it, he will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity.
"Yes, let's go back to the academy first. If there is any news from the mountain chief, he will definitely inform us. We can't help here just waiting around."
Zhao Xun said anxiously.
"Well, that's settled, let's go back to the academy first."
As the most senior person here, Senior Sister Xiao Ning made the final decision.
Each of them flew with their swords, and Zhao Xun summoned the Pipi Shrimp White Dragon from the chessboard space.
As soon as Bai Jiaolong came out, he kept rubbing his head against Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun patted his head to show his affection.
"Pippi Shrimp, let's go."
Zhao Xun jumped onto Pipi Shrimp's back lightly, and then grabbed his scales like a horse's reins.
The white dragon snorted a few times and then jumped into the air.
Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.
The little lolita Zhao Danshu tilted her head and leaned against the window of the bamboo house, looking out the window.
"Dad, why hasn't Brother Xun come back yet? I miss him so much."
"Dan Shu, my dear, your brother Xun has gone to Mobei for business, and he will be back soon."
Duke Cheng Guo scratched Zhao Danshu's nose lovingly and said softly: "When your brother Xun comes back, I will definitely bring you delicious food."
"Dad, are you serious?"
When she heard that there was something delicious, the little Loli's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course it's true. When did dad lie to you?"
"Okay, if dad is lying, it's the puppy!"
Zhao Danshu grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth.
Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan was actually a little worried about Zhao Xun's safety, but he didn't show it to his little daughter.
To be honest, Zhao Yuan's mood has become much more peaceful since his family moved out of Chang'an City and lived in Zhongnanshan Academy.
Chang'an City is prosperous, but it is too impetuous.
The people who live there, whether they are nobles, nobles or traffickers, all think about profit or gain all day long.
They can do anything for profit.
They can even sell their conscience for profit.
As the Duke of the country, Zhao Yuan lived in fear all day long.
You never know when one of your political enemies will pop up in the court to launch an impeachment bombardment against you.
And today's emperor, Emperor Xianlong, is also an emperor who is very good at playing with power, which makes his ministers even more frightened.
Although he lived a life full of food, Zhao Yuan always had to worry about whether the people who ate would move.
And it may harm his family.
Now that the family has moved to Zhongnan Mountain, although their life is a little dull, at least they feel at ease.
Zhao Yuan was already very satisfied with this.
I just hope that my son Zhao Xun can come back safely, and that my family will be content to live a peaceful and peaceful life.
"Dad, my son is back!"
Um?
Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment.
He clearly heard his son Zhao Xun's voice just now.
Could it be that he was hallucinating?
Recently, as he gets older, his hearing problems become more and more serious, and he often experiences auditory hallucinations.
"It's Brother Xun, it's Brother Xun who's back!"
The little lolita Zhao Danshu jumped up with excitement.
"Brother Xun is back, brother Xun is back!"
She trotted all the way to the outside of the bamboo building, and she saw Zhao Xun flying towards her on a white dragon skin shrimp.
Zhao Xun flew to the bamboo building on a dragon and patted Pipi Xia's head lightly.
Bai Jiaolong Youling immediately curled up and let Zhao Xun jump down.
Zhao Xun jumped off the white dragon's back and ran quickly towards Zhao Danshu.
When Zhao Danshu came closer, she threw herself into Zhao Xun's arms.
"Well, brother Xun, you are finally back. You have been gone for so long, and I miss you so much."
Zhao Danshu said with a tearful tone: "I thought you wouldn't come back. I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Zhao Xun patted Zhao Danshu's back lovingly and said, "What are you talking about? How can I leave you?"
Zhao Danshu turned from sadness to joy and said, "Yes, dad said so too. Daddy also said that brother Xun would bring me delicious food."
"Well"
Zhao Xun now showed an awkward but polite smile.
The main reason was that he was eager to return home this time. He came back in a hurry and adopted a violent flight mode, which almost made Pippi Shrimp Baijiaolong foam at the mouth from exhaustion.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible to consider bringing anything delicious to Zhao Danshu.
"Didn't Brother Xun bring me something delicious?"
Seeing Zhao Xun's expression, the extremely smart little Loli understood it instantly.
There was a look of extreme disappointment on her face.
"Brother Xun is bad, wuwu, brother Xun doesn't love me anymore."
After saying that, he started beating Zhao Xun crazily.
Although the little Loli's pink fist hit Zhao Xun's body without much pain, Zhao Xun still felt a little embarrassed.
Alas, who said he was the eldest brother? It was indeed his fault that he didn't think of bringing delicious food to the girl.
It is reasonable for a girl to cry.
"Don't cry. I'm in a hurry this time. I'll buy your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you to eat some other time, okay?"
When Zhao Xun said this, the little Loli stopped crying and her big eyes were dazzling.
"Is what Brother Xun said true?"
"of course it's true."
"Then we'll hang ourselves on hooks and we won't be allowed to change for a hundred years."
The little Loli has the heart of a child and immediately wants to hook up with Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun knew that he was in the wrong, so he made an agreement with the little Lolita.
"Okay, you go and play first. I have something to tell you."
Zhao Xun said very seriously.
"Well."
The little loli was also very sensible and immediately jumped to play in the yard.
"Dad, my son is back."
Zhao Xun took a step forward and gave the two elders a respectful salute.
"My son is sensible."
Zhao Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
It can be said that Zhao Xun is the most satisfied among his descendants. The other two legitimate sons are both dandy sons, not to mention the concubines, who are really stuck in the mud and can't hold up the wall.
In the past, Zhao Xun also gave him the feeling of a playboy, but in the past year, Zhao Xun has changed so much that Zhao Yuan truly understood that Zhao Xun was pretending to be stupid.
People who pretend to be stupid don't want others to easily see their true strength. If they don't show off, they will already become famous.
Zhao Xun can now truly support the Zhao family, and Zhao Yuan feels very relieved.
"My son has become thinner and darker."
Mother Zhao Liu stepped forward and caressed Zhao Xun's cheek with concern.
"Mom, I just went to Mobei. I haven't lost any weight. It does seem a little darker, but it makes me more masculine, doesn't it?"
"You kid."
"By the way, parents, during the time when your son left, the court didn't give you any trouble, right?"
"No, since the last time the mountain chief entered the palace, no one from the court dared to harass us anymore."
Zhao Yuan said calmly.
At this time, the third senior brother Long Qingquan came forward and said: "Hey, I have to say a few words at this time. Junior brother, don't you know that the mountain gate of our Haoran Academy is not so easy to enter? First of all, it is not for cultivation above the fourth grade.
You can't even see the mountain gate. Even practitioners of the fourth grade or above will still be unable to enter without the approval of the mountain chief. In the entire Chang'an City, except for Zheng Jie and Yuan Tiangang, there are probably no non-academy disciples who can enter the academy.
"
Long Qingquan's words still satisfied Zhao Xun.
He nodded and said: "What the third senior brother said is true, but I still have one thing to worry about. The mountain leader is not here now. What if they get the news and really come to the academy."
"Are you talking about Zheng Jie or Yuan Tiangang?"
Long Qingquan asked very sensitively.
"If it is Zheng Jie, it is indeed possible. This old eunuch grew up with Emperor Xianlong and was very loyal to Emperor Xianlong. If Emperor Xianlong asked him to go east, he would never go west. Emperor Xianlong
If he were told to go north, he would never go south. But if he left the palace, Emperor Xianlong's safety would be in question. If Wei Wuji killed a carbine at this time, wouldn't he be able to easily take away Emperor Xianlong's head?
?”
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth.
"If this is the case, then it can only be Yuan Tiangang."
"Yuan Tiangang probably won't. He is your adoptive father after all. How could he do something that would harm you?"
Long Qingquan shook his head and said: "I think this is unlikely."
Zhao Xun, however, disapproved and said: "Third senior brother, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Although Yuan Tiangang is my adoptive father, don't forget that he is still the Great Zhou Jianzheng and Imperial Master. His interests are closely related to those of the Taoist sect.
They are tightly bound together. If Emperor Xianlong threatens him with the future of the Taoist sect, what choice do you think he will make?"
In his two lifetimes, Zhao Xun has seen all kinds of deceitful people.
Some people are like this by nature, and some people are forced to do it.
Zhao Xundang didn't want to believe that Yuan Tiangang was such a person, but sometimes he had to guard against it.
And people change, sometimes even a small detail can change a person.
"Well, if that's the case, with Yuan Tiangang's strength, he can indeed enter and leave the academy at will without being affected by the restrictions."
"So we have to prepare in advance. If Yuan Tiangang or Zheng Jie really takes action, we won't be blinded."
Zhao Xun didn't believe in the nonsense that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
In his opinion, even if there is indeed a way to reach the mountain, it must be a dead end.
So be sure to plan ahead and plan ahead.
This way you won't end up in a very passive situation.
"Junior brother, what do you think?"
"Doesn't the academy have a formation that can trap them?"
"I'm afraid this won't work."
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou coughed and said: "Of course I know that the academy has a large formation, and I can also deploy the formation. But don't forget, Yuan Tiangang is a Taoist heavenly master, and the talisman formation is their specialty. We still have no problem with him.
Comparable."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"In this case, it will be a bit difficult to deal with. The restriction can't stop him, and the talisman formation can't trap him. Even if we go head-to-head, we don't seem to be opponents."
Among them all, except the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan, who is of the first rank, the highest one is the second rank.
Even if everyone is tied together, they are still no match for the super master.
"It's really no good. I can only hide my family in the chessboard space. When I have no choice, this is my last trump card."
Zhao Xun thought for a long time and said word by word.
