On one side of the Tianhuo Tower, there is a bell tower on the top of the auxiliary platform that is nearly 300 feet high.
In the middle of the bell tower filled with smoke and clouds, hangs a huge purple and gold bell.
Two strong men wearing golden heavy armor, with only a pair of dazzling eyes exposed from all over their bodies, stood quietly next to the giant clock, like puppets, their bodies were silent, and no breath leaked out.
A red-robed eunuch hurried over on a cloud of fire, holding a jade sign in his hand, and shouted Huo Yu's order.
The two big men immediately moved.
They pulled the heavy dragon-headed bell hammer on the side and slammed it into the giant bell.
The giant bell didn't make any sound. No matter it was the big man nearby, the eunuchs, the guards up and down the bell tower, or the people in the palace or even the Hellfire City, no one heard any movement.
But in Yan Chao's Palace of the Ninth Army, in the palace of the general of the nine armies that suppressed the nine armies, the secret sound transmission array flashed with light, and the small golden bell that matched the array rang a high-pitched 'ding-ding' sound at the same time.
Not long after, the lights and shadows in the bell tower flickered, and strong rays of light erupted from the golden bell. In the firelight was the shadow of a bell the size of a human head, and in the flickering light, a low bell sounded back.
The eunuch's pupils condensed.
There are only eight groups of bell-shadow flames erupting from the golden bell, with the words "Zhen" and "Zheng" on them respectively.
After careful identification, the eunuch whispered: "Why is there no news from the Zhenbei Army?"
After waiting for another three breaths, the eunuch shook his hands and fired a warning fire in the direction of the Sky Fire Tower. Immediately, several fire clouds rose into the sky from the Sky Fire Tower and flew towards this side at high speed.
Ten more breaths passed, and as another warning fire flew out, Huo Yu, together with several important civil and military officials from the Yan Dynasty, arrived at the bell tower almost at the same time, frowning and looking at the giant clock.
"Zhenbei Army, something happened."
An old man wearing a robe of intense flames with a somewhat feminine air clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and glanced suspiciously at several of his colleagues present, and then glanced at Huo Yu calmly: "
Jiang Yuan is very strict in managing the army, and he will never delay the military aircraft... The emperor has orders, and he will definitely not ignore them."
The person who spoke was none other than Jiang Yuan's father, the current patriarch of the Jiang clan of the Yan Dynasty, and the fourth and eighth most important ministers of the Yan Dynasty.
"Let someone go and find out."
Huo Yu glanced at Jiang Yi, who was trying to keep his composure, and gave an order to the confidant old eunuch on the side. He then asked Luo Shi, who was also one of the four assistants and four butlers. He was responsible for controlling external intelligence and monitoring the major vassal states of the Yan Dynasty and neighboring dynasties.
The head of the family, Luo Xuan: "North, has there been any change recently?"
Luo Xuan, who was thin and energetic, frowned, glanced at Jiang Yu, and then bowed to Huo Yu: "Your Majesty, the Zhenbei Army has been stationed in Qingyun Kingdom in recent years... The situation in Qingyun Kingdom,
Your Majesty and all the gentlemen should know that there will be no trouble in Qingyun Kingdom."
"As for the north..." Luo Xuan said in a deep voice: "The Xu Dynasty in the north and our Yan Dynasty have been sworn enemies for generations, but its emperor went crazy nine months ago and died suddenly. One hundred and fifty-eight princes in the country are fighting for each other.
It's just chaos."
Luo Xuan said firmly: "Xuan Chao, at this moment, has no ability to attack me, Yan Chao."
Jiang An said in a deep voice: "What if there is a prince from the Yan Dynasty who is eager for success and wants to gain achievements from my Yan Dynasty in order to ascend the throne?"
Huo Yu pursed his lips and glanced north.
The Yan Dynasty was a vassal state of the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom, while the Xu Dynasty was a vassal state of another powerful dynasty, the Xuan Yanxian Dynasty.
The Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty and the Yunluo Ancient Kingdom were often at odds with each other. As the powerful vassals on the fringes of the two Immortal Dynasties, the Yan Dynasty and the Yun Dynasty were also under the influence of the two Immortal Dynasties.
Fights were fought under unreasonable excuses, and even emperors from both dynasties fell on the battlefield.
Therefore, Yan Chao and Hyun Chao are mortal enemies.
The Zhenbei Army happens to be in the north. If something happens to the Zhenbei Army, the first thing that comes to mind is, is Hyun Chao coming?
But even if Hyun Chao comes to fight...
As Luo Xuan said, the Hyun Dynasty is now in a state of internal chaos... Hey, the emperor did not abdicate peacefully, but went crazy and died. Tsk, tsk, as a colleague of the 'emperor', Huo Yu expressed his feelings about the experiences of his colleagues
A little bit of regret and a lot of schadenfreude!
As the emperor of such a powerful dynasty, how could he be possessed by evil spirits?
Huo Yu didn’t know what to say!
Anyway, Hyun Chao is now unable to attack Yan Chao.
Even if someone in the Hyun Dynasty wanted to take a military adventure and gain meritorious service by attacking the Yan Dynasty, the Zhenbei Army had millions of elites, even millions of pigs, with the military strength deployed in front of the Zhenbei Army in the Hyun Dynasty, it would be absolutely impossible
Swallowing the Zhenbei Army silently.
The old eunuch hurriedly led the people away.
Outside the imperial city, in Yan Chao's Nine Army Mansion, there is a Void Movement Formation that reaches directly to the headquarters of the nine legions. It is enough to allow people to cross a million miles in an instant and reach directly to the general's mansion of the nine legions.
But after a cup of tea, the old eunuch ran back again with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I'm afraid that the formation of the Zhenbei Army has been destroyed by others... The servant urged people to activate the corresponding void movement formation three times in a row, but there was no response there. The servant could not rush to the formation through the formation.
Sun Mansion."
The faces of Huo Yu and several important ministers suddenly darkened.
Something has indeed happened to the Zhenbei Army.
"Mobilize troops and horses to deal with the situation. At the same time, rush to Zhesun Mansion as quickly as possible to inquire about the news. At the same time, set up a void movement array... To the north of Hellfire City, the various states and cities are reorganizing their troops and horses... Who dares to lose their troops and the city? I will
Their heads!”
Huo Yu immediately gave the order.
The huge Yan Chao quickly moved.
Officials at all levels quickly dispatched manpower. In accordance with Huo Yu's order, registered young men were selected from the civilian population and formed a new army on the spot. They began to distribute ordnance and practice military formations.
In the elixir institution specially established by the Yan Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of elixir masters at all levels began to refine the 'Fire Fire Peiyuan Pill'.
This is a low-level elixir with fire attributes. Although it is low-level, it is extremely effective.
As the name suggests, this elixir has only one effect. Even if a commoner has never practiced cultivation, as long as they take nine consecutive Fiery Yuan-Pui Yuan Pills, they can be forcibly promoted to the ultimate Pei-Yuan Realm, or even half-step to the realm of the Furnace Realm.
.
This is a commonly used elixir for extracting young men from the people at the juncture of war and quickly cultivating cannon fodder. All major dynasties have similar secret recipes, but they have different potencies and properties.
However, once the Fierce Fire Peiyuan Pill is taken, the lifelong cultivation level will be limited to the current state. Unless there is a powerful person above the Condensing Dao Fruit to initiate and cleanse the marrow, or there is a genius earth treasure-level elixir to cleanse the body, otherwise
The future of cultivation is ruined!
Especially, in just a few days, they can achieve such a powerful cultivation level. Even if these young and strong people who take medicine do not die on the battlefield in the future, their natural life span will definitely not exceed thirty years!
The Yan Dynasty's land spans millions of miles and has trillions of people. In just two days, officials at all levels organized billions of young men into the reserve teams of the nine armies of the Ninth Army.
.
At the same time, from Yan Chao's elixir institution, the Fierce Fire Peiyuan Pills were also delivered like running water, and were quickly distributed to officials at all levels.
While Yan Chao was preparing for war, Luo Xuan used sound transmission arrays and various secret techniques to quickly contact secret spies across the north.
But all the secret agents reported back that everything was normal.
Only the secret spies in the Zhesun Mansion and the Qingyun Kingdom, like the Zhenbei Army, did not receive any feedback. No matter how Luo Xuan used secret techniques to urge them again and again, the secret spies in the Qingyun Kingdom just didn't.
A little bit of news came back.
Luo Xuan ordered secret spies from around Qingyun Kingdom to enter Qingyun Kingdom to inquire about the Zhesun Mansion.
As a result, whenever these secret spies move, just like the Zhenbei Army, there is no news at all.
In just two or three days, Luo Xuan's elite secret spies deployed in the vassal country in the north lost as many as two to three hundred people. Luo Xuan was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat. He no longer dared to transfer people at will, so he could only transfer these people.
The news was passed to Huo Yu, Jiang An and others.
Starting from Hellfire City, the task force headed by an old eunuch who was Huo Yu's confidant passed through the Void Movement Formation and first arrived at an important military town in the northernmost part of the Yan Dynasty.
In the military town, the fastest flying warship rose into the sky, spitting out fire, and flew rapidly towards the north.
This military town is also in the north of the Yan Dynasty. Apart from the Zhenbei Army, it is the only place where a void movement formation has been deployed. This military town is still more than 300,000 miles away from Zhesun Mansion.
Yuan Ling's spiritual intelligence is at its peak state, the structure of the void is stable, and the laws of Tao Yun are powerful. The speed of the monks flying and moving is much slower than that of the same monks in the Holy Heaven. This is like fish with the same physical strength, in the dense mercury.
There is a huge difference between the power expended and the speed obtained when swimming and swimming in ordinary clear water.
Therefore, an ordinary Fiery Realm cultivator can fly at full speed in Yuanlingtian for a day and a night, and the distance he can fly is no more than ten thousand miles.
And these flying warships are powerful, supplemented by various flying formations and forbidden runes, with the highest speed...
Well, the ancient Yunluo Kingdom has decreed that the flying warships built by the major vassal states must not exceed a maximum speed of 30,000 miles a day!
This is a measure taken by the ancient Yunluo Kingdom to deliberately limit the transportation efficiency of the vassal countries and restrict their war potential to a very small range. Otherwise, if the major vassal countries each have the speed of traveling millions of miles a day, they can mobilize every day.
Countless armies appeared millions of miles away, gathering huge military power in a very short period of time... Thinking about that scene, as the sovereign state, don't you feel a headache and a cold sweat at the back?
Therefore, it took the old eunuch and the special task force twelve days to arrive at Zhesun Mansion from the Northern Xinjiang Military Town in a flying warship.
Inside Zhesun Mansion, it is quiet and peaceful, with chickens and dogs chatting among each other, and it is a paradise scene.
However, the military camps of the Zhenbei Army stationed in Zhesun Prefecture were so empty and so deserted that they could be haunted in broad daylight!
In the camp, all the ordnance, baggage, etc., including the mounts, were safe and sound.
The old eunuch led people to check various official documents left in the military camp. After comparing them, he found that there was not even a knife, a sword, even an arrow, or a bag of rice missing in the military camp.
However, millions of elite Suppression Army troops, together with the general Jiang Yuan, all evaporated out of thin air.
"Where are the people? Where are the people? Where are the people?"
The old eunuch was furious: "What the hell, where is this man?"
A small void movement array was deployed as quickly as possible. Soon, a large number of soldiers and horses poured out from the military town. After they arranged various defensive measures, they began to deploy a super large void movement array.
Another seven days later, the super-large void movement formation was deployed, and the elite imperial guards from the imperial capital of the Yan Dynasty poured out in force and sealed off the entire Zhesun Mansion in a very short period of time.
Jiang An led a group of family masters to rush to Zhesun Mansion in person, and without any rest, they went straight to Xiyun City.
