Chapter 152 Breaking the army and attacking things
Inside Wang Zhou, King Xi had been waiting for news in the main hall. On both sides were sitting counselors and lieutenants, and among them were several newly joined Xuan Xiu.
At this moment, spiritual messages came one after another, and spiritual lights flashed on him and everyone present. When he heard that the upper-level forces responsible for guarding on the opposite side had been completely destroyed and there was no obstacle in front of him, he
He couldn't help laughing and stood up from his seat. Seeing him stand up, the lieutenants and counselors on both sides also stood up from their seats.
King Xi looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, please pass on my order and order the entire army to march towards the center according to the original plan!"
The lieutenants shouted yes.
In this battle between the upper-level forces of both sides, the creation alchemists and monks dispatched by the Elder Council and Lie Wang on the front lines no longer exist. This is a heavy setback for both families.
Not only that, it means that there is no longer any obstruction for the upper-level forces on King Xi Xi's side, and they can devote themselves to the conquest without any scruples. At this moment, without King Xi's special care, the creation alchemists have already taken the first step according to the prior arrangement.
An attack was launched on the opposite fortress and direction.
How could such a pure lower-level force be able to withstand it? It was almost defeated in one attack, and it advanced for more than a thousand miles overnight, and the fortresses and military defense lines along the way were easily razed to the ground.
Because of the coordination and cooperation of all parties and the sufficient preparations in advance, they originally waited quietly behind the large formation. After receiving the order, they immediately moved forward without any delay. The airship that almost covered the sky followed the upper-level forces in front of them.
The passage surges forward.
This kind of offensive continued until it stopped under the outer barrier of Yangdu, because this area was already within the scope of Zhongdu, and the upper-level forces of the Zhenji Institute and Yingyao Institute could already be dispatched, so they had to be more cautious.
Even so, the clan members and dignitaries who followed King Xi in the expedition were extremely excited. The results achieved by this expedition were unprecedented. This time they truly saw the possibility of destroying the Elder Group and taking over the Central Region.
The group of elders in Yangdu City were also shocked. They never imagined that in just a few hours, their upper-level forces outside would be completely wiped out. In just three days, King Xi's army would arrive at the city.
Moreover, the rapid breakthrough of King Xi's army also brought another negative consequence, that is, the millions of troops in front were almost all destroyed without resistance under the attack of the upper-level forces, resulting in
The defensive strength of the Central Region is unprecedentedly empty.
At this time, it was too late even to recruit flying boat warriors and upper-level forces from the local area. Within a few months, it was impossible to assemble a military force that could compete with King Xi's army.
While the group of elders sent envoys to King Lie to request assistance, they also tried their best to strengthen the security in the city.
Fortunately, Yangdu has been under the rule of the Hao clan for thousands of years. In recent generations, Emperor Hao has regarded this place as its capital. It is the most defended capital among the three capitals of the Hao clan. It has extremely complete fortifications and Yingyao.
The upper-level forces of the Suohe Zhenjiu Station are not without resistance, and there is no risk of being breached for the time being.
At this time, someone in the group of elders suggested that the reason why King Xi could muster such a large force was precisely because there were many clan dignitaries of the Hao clan who were willing to follow him. If Emperor Hao allowed the existence of a formal feudal kingdom and divided it into
If you give out some land in exchange for this condition, you may be able to weaken part of King Xi's power.
The group of elders was originally working on eliminating clan members. If such political strategies were withdrawn, it would undoubtedly damage their prestige. Therefore, even if King Xi went on an expedition before, they would not relent in the slightest. But now that they have been forced to this point, it seems that
I had to change my attitude.
Of course, they would not do this immediately. Instead, they would send envoys to King Xi's army to sound out the opinions of various clansmen and dignitaries.
If it were originally true, their strategy would have been somewhat effective. It could at least undermine part of King Xi's military morale and create suspicion between superiors and subordinates.
But now it is impossible.
All the upper echelons of King Xi's army have been reversed by the illusion. Their current idea is to invade the central region, kill all the elders, and support King Xi to ascend the throne of Emperor Hao. This is the first priority. The rest are
They all have to go to the back.
When Yangdu was encountering the Bingfeng, far in the north, in Huangdu, one of the three capitals of the Hao tribe, in the main hall, a young man with a tall and upright body was sitting on the throne, listening to
Report to the people below.
He looks to be in his twenties, has a neatly trimmed beard, wears a red robe, and has very bright eyes. He is none other than Lie Wang, one of the twelve sect kings of the Hao clan.
After listening to the military report, he was very surprised and said: "When did my brother have such courage?" He looked to both sides, "Everyone, how should you deal with this matter?"
Different from other places, in addition to counselors and officials, at least half of the people here are monks. Among the twelve sect kings, in addition to King Xi and the former Emperor Hao, the current Emperor Hao is a compatriot and has received great rewards.
Apart from being in charge of the Ten Thousand Spirits Institute, the strength of most sect kings was much lower, but his rise relied on the support of many monastic sects.
A monk on the right first spoke out: "Your Highness, King Xi's offensive this time is unusual. According to investigation, it is suspected that he surrounded a group of masters and refiners with a large formation, which led to the failure of the Central Region. His own power has not yet been established."
Change, if there is no formation, we have nothing to fear from them."
King Lie said: "Xue Zhidao's words make sense, but he didn't say what I want to know. What should I do now? Rescue the elders, or reconcile with King Xi..."
"Absolutely not!"
Before he finished speaking, Taoist Xue immediately objected and said solemnly: "Your Highness, although the elders are not good people, but with the elders blocking the front, we don't have to face King Xi's army directly. If the elders are eliminated, the Central Region will fall.
If it falls into the hands of King Xi, how can you keep the territory under your Highness's jurisdiction?"
Lie Wang leaned back helplessly and sighed: "Then come up with a solution. I have asked here several times. If you have any good ideas, then come up with a solution to this crisis."
Someone suggested: "Then we can ask all the masters and refiners to help the elders?"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately objected: "No! We and other upper-level forces are not as powerful as the elders, and now we have lost a lot. If we send them all out, do we still have to defend Huangdu?"
"Are you just going to die without saving me?"
“Anyway, you can’t lose your glory!”
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and when they were about to get into a commotion, a calm voice said: "Your Highness, the Central Region is not so easy to capture."
Seeing him speaking out, King Lie became a little more serious. He thought about it and said, "Master Wei said there is no need to save him?"
The old man known as Master Wei said: "It is still possible to save, but it may not be necessary to go to the front. There is an empty space behind King Xi..."
His words were interrupted coldly by a monk on the opposite side: "It's just a way of criticizing the strong and suppressing the weak. Over the years, countless barriers have been built behind King Xi just to avoid being disturbed. But now King Xi is under Yangdu,
There is no need to worry about unimportant boundaries."
Master Wei said: "Yes, unimportant places will not be strictly guarded, but what if it is Guangdu?"
"Guangdu?" The Taoist was startled for a moment, then frowned and said: "Guangdu is under heavy protection, and its defensive power is not much better than that of Yangdu. How can we attack it?"
Master Wei said: "Wrong, King Xi also lost a lot of strength before. In order to fight against the elders, he must have brought all the creatures from the Wanling Institute with him. As expected, the Light City must be quite empty at this moment.
"
He looked at the cultivator opposite and said: "If all the various factions in the world use their strength and go straight to the capital of light, even if they just make some noise, I believe King Xi will not abandon it."
At this moment, Lie Wang seemed to suddenly say: "Yes, the factions have a lot of strength. I believe that even if Guangdu still has some defensive power, it will not be able to block the joint attack of all factions!"
The man was silent for a while. After a while, he said: "Your Highness, this matter is not ours to decide. We need to ask for instructions from the door."
King Lie said: "Okay, let's think about it then. I can afford to wait. When we have discussed it, just let me know. That's it for today."
After finishing speaking, he stood up with a relaxed look on his face, took a bird that was handed to him personally, teased it twice, and then walked to the back hall. Only the solemn-looking people in the hall were left behind.
Two days later, Zhang Yuzheng was sitting in the center of the formation, using his mind's light to transform the formation. And Shi Yanxin was using the power of the formation to activate the magic of illusion to reverse the mental cognition of the captured people.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a thought coming from the Xuntian Daozhang. He paid attention and found that it was Jin Zhixing's message, so he called him over and said: "Friend Jin, what's the matter?"
Jin Zhixing's voice rang out: "Tingzhi, the Suqing sect seems to be recruiting upper-level monks to prepare to launch an offensive somewhere on the mainland. The specific movement is unknown. However, my subordinates have seen that there have been frequent messages between the six sects recently. I'm afraid it's...
I'm afraid that not only the Suqing sect but also the six Tianwai sects are making moves this time."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "Fellow Daoist Jin, please continue to keep an eye on this matter and report anything to me in a timely manner."
Jin Zhixing said respectfully: "Yes, Tingzhi. My subordinates will keep an eye on you at any time."
After Jin Zhixing's voice subsided, another message from Yinhuan Ting arrived in the Taoist chapter. The latter said: "Mr. Tao, just now Taoist Master Bo from the Changsheng sect came. He said he brought some of the sect's disciples with him."
According to the news, the six factions are trying to gather the upper-level forces and prepare to join forces to attack Guangdu in order to break the siege of Yangdu. However, this matter cannot be confirmed yet, but Yin feels that he should tell fellow Daoist Tao."
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded: "I understand."
Elder Bo had previously said that he came on behalf of the head of the sect. It seemed that this was indeed not a lie. Only the real upper echelons of the six sects could know about things that Jin Zhixing had no access to, but the Suqing sect was the general.
This news was told to Mianlu. Could it be that he knew that Mianlu and King Xi had joined forces?
He thought for a moment and realized that this was probably the result of the Everlasting Sect's calculations. Regardless of what the Everlasting Sect had planned, as long as the news was true, there was no need to worry about the rest of the details.
He slowly stood up and looked in the direction of the city of light. In the light outside his body, there was the faint sound of swords. Some things were the most scary thing not to know. Once you know it, it will be easier to deal with.
