In the early morning of October 19th, the first year of Han Yingwu
It was still dawning in Hanoi County at the northeastern end of Sili, and dark clouds gradually began to pour into the sky from the direction of Jizhou, and were blocked by a layer of golden light.
It frightens many people. They have seen too many people fleeing for their lives these days, and they know that this black cloud is an ominous omen and the beginning of a terrorist attack.
"The enemy is coming..."
In Chaoge County, which is directly adjacent to Jizhou in the northeastern part of the county, the alarm bell sounded even more. The flames of the attack were spreading southward... Not far away, a huge naval force was moving southward along the river, and the portholes on the top floor of the flagship were suddenly opened.
, the commands are passed layer by layer.
The situation in Chaoge County is already in chaos. Yangzhi County has received an order from Shangfeng to move south. However, large-scale relocation of people is not easy and takes a long time. At this time, he has no more soldiers and civilians under his control.
Duo, looking to the north of the county, could only be silent.
"Perhaps nothing will happen. According to the intelligence, the enemy is attacking in a scattered manner, and magic formations have been sent out in all Wubao..." Mr. Li, who is sitting in the hall, comforted and said: "It can transform the hundreds of years of savings in the Wubao.
The clan energy becomes a shield that can resist for a while..."
This is actually a situation that only occurs when Taoism gradually appears in the world, and these people just don't know it.
Yangzhi County sighed slightly: "But if we can't send reinforcements, it depends on their local resistance. I wouldn't be surprised if they are ordinary thieves, but those are Taoists..."
The two of them were silent and looked at each other, seeing each other's helplessness in their eyes.
"I just hope that His Majesty will..."
The enemy's attack was very cautious, even slow, but in the evening, as the Wubao arrays in various places were exhausted to the extreme, the attack had entered the final climax stage.
The forts in various places have actually entered military status early recently. Although they have been wary and prepared for a long time, the gap in strength cannot be compensated. From the moment they were attacked, they fell into the enemy's rhythm.
"There are only three or four enemies...hold on tightly."
Fangjiaji was shrouded in a thin layer of golden light, and hoarse shouts came from inside. This solid fort covering an area of ten acres could have withstood tens of thousands of troops for ten days, but now it had to face the blazing rain of fire falling from the sky.
Waves of rapid fire fell on the defensive formation, and the water light was turbulent.
"Arrow Formation——"
The commanding ranger leader shouted with all his strength that he was a descendant of Wubao and a well-known hero from all over the country. He suppressed the feeling of horror and ignored the unnatural rain of fire above his head. He held the bow tightly in his sweaty hands,
Keep an eye on the enemy's figure.
Three, or four, a surprisingly small number. Their figures kept drifting in the field of vision, too fast...
"The enemy has long been prepared for heavy crossbow fire. This is a veteran."
The ranger leader's heart sank, and his eyes turned to the 700th step... This was the fourth guess. He had never participated in the magic circle battle, and now he took action when the magic circle was weakened to the extreme.
There was a mass of motionless black energy there. Although the black energy filled the horizon and confused the horizon, standing at this distance was far beyond the range of ordinary crossbows. The ranger leader knew that this must be someone who was releasing a rain of fire to bombard the magic circle, and he immediately took command.
Although they were not regular soldiers of the imperial court, they were all veterans who had experienced troubled times. At this moment, more than a dozen privately hidden large yellow crossbows were pointed at the black mist.
The refined copper machine crossbow never trembled, and a trace of sweat seeped into the silk handle of the crossbow. Wangshan had adjusted the distance scale. At this moment, his eyes, Wangshan, and the enemy instantly overlapped...three points and one line.
"shoot"
Fluttering——
The formed arrows rained out, shooting directly at the enemy like locusts, shattering the black mist. After all, the distance was too long and the power weakened. It only hit a transparent barrier before stopping and falling.
"This is a preset magic circle," the Taoist priest shouting.
The ranger leader's heart sank.
The tall and thin middle-aged Taoist with sunken cheeks inside raised his face indifferently and glanced at the city gate. A black shadow was rushing there quickly, just passing through the trembling gap in the magic circle.
Chance
boom--
A palm was printed on the heavy iron door, showing a convex arc behind the door.
"It's dangerous. The enemy's goal is the city gate..."
The ranger leader missed several arrows and was sweating coldly. In the previous battle, he had seen that the enemy was afraid of the big yellow crossbow and concentrated fire at close range, but this time he was close and it would take time to re-string the bow. The most lacking thing at this moment was time.
"falling rocks"
The heavy falling rocks and rolling logs fell towards the figure. Their power was heavy but slowed down. The figure frequently moved around in a small space to avoid it. If it was unavoidable, he chose to stand under the lighter rolling logs and punched them into pieces.
...simply inhuman.
"Is this just rubbish?" Only this time it was revealed that he was a Taoist in black. Before the arrow array was reset, and the threat of falling rocks and rolling trees was no longer there, he struck again.
This time, with no distractions, the spirit pool boiled and bombarded with all its strength. The palms of my hands glowed with blazing fire, and the heavy iron door seemed to melt into a hole when it encountered magma...
Such an astonishing scene made all the defending tribesmen stunned and trembling in their hearts: "Can mortals defeat this?"
In a depressing atmosphere, an old man walked up to the top of the city, washed his white lieutenant's uniform, and decorated it with a medal reborn from the ashes, indicating that he was a veteran who had participated in the battle of Luoyang. He was probably only forty years old, but he was generally prone to aging.
In this era, my hair and beard are all gray, but my waist is still straight.
"Are you still struggling?" Laughter came from below. He glanced at the veteran and didn't take it seriously.
It's just an old and decaying mortal body.
"You...remove the inner fort." The old man said calmly, with a heavy steel cylinder hidden in his robe sleeves.
"this"
"The head of the family..."
The old man's eyes were solid: "Get out"
Laughter came from below, and the black-clothed Taoist thought that there was no resistance inside, so his voice was filled with a sneer: "That's right, open the door obediently, kneel down and offer the woman, and I can still spare your life, haha..."
All the guards gritted their teeth, but knowing that the outer wall could no longer be defended, they immediately retreated and rushed toward the inner fort.
The fortress gate shattered and fell. The middle-aged real man with sunken cheeks immediately stopped his hand, stopped suppressing the rain of fire, calmed the spirit pool and said: "Destroy the magic circle nodes, bury the array disk, and prepare to plant the black lotus seed body..."
Two figures flashed in, and the black-clothed Taoist was about to go in, but suddenly stopped and looked at the old man intently... Something was wrong.
"return--"
boom--
Blazing white firelight shines at the city gate, a huge explosion without warning of spiritual power, the narrow and solid loess door opening is like the barrel of a cannon, the tidal air waves are superimposed layer by layer, and with just one breath, the defensive shields raised by the two real people are impacted.
Destroyed, hundreds of prefabricated steel pieces swept across the scene, only the screams were drowned in the sound waves, and blood and flesh turned to mud on the spot.
"Leaf Fire Thunder"
The black-clothed Taoist's eyes were about to burst. He retreated in time and was farther away. The shock wave blew him over ten meters. Even the entire rammed earth tower could not withstand the collapse. A gray-white mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the smoke column could be seen for ten miles.
In the same way, the defensive formation was broken down instantly.
Such a collision of supernatural forces shocked several low-level Taoist priests and rangers in Wubao. However, the head of the family was killed on the spot, and the enemy could not eliminate them all. They could only hear howling like wild beasts outside: "How dare you, the old thief, plot against our sect?"
The elite in the middle class are all in mourning”
There was a fluctuation in the voice: "Don't think that you will die. I know you can hear it. I swear to kill all the men in your clan, obscenely kill all the women, and then make blood sacrifices, so that you can taste this..."
In mid-air, a new heroic spirit did rise. He was wearing a red armored shirt. He no longer looked old, but had a young and resolute face. Hearing these words, he was furious and was about to rush down towards this mortal enemy.
"Come on..." The black-clothed Taoist's body was covered with golden light, he opened his hands in a hug, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
An invisible wave passed through the void. The red-armored heroic spirit was shocked, and without moving his expression, he turned and disappeared to the south, leaving only the enemy behind him to taunt in a hurry: "Old man, don't you dare to die? Come on -"
The middle-aged man with sunken cheeks patted his colleague on the shoulder and said coldly: "Master Xuan Ying, please forgive me.
"How dare you talk to me like that..." Xuan Ying, a Taoist in black, had a ferocious expression on his face, with murderous intent flashing through his eyes.
This middle-aged man showed no fear. Instead of his usual politeness, he pointed at the soldiers retreating towards the inner fort and said with a smile on his face, "The mission above is important."
"Master Impermanence, remember your identity"
Xuan Ying's fingers twitched twice, but he still suppressed his rage and did not take action.
As soon as the two Taoists died, their strength changed. At this moment, I was the only leader of the sect. Although my strength was stronger than that of the casual cultivator, I could no longer suppress him. If I was not careful, I would suffer a backlash, or even turn against the guest.
thing.
Everyone is like a dragon. If you are willing to be a subordinate, there is naturally no so-called loyalty. Everything is power. This is one of the fundamental laws in the outer world.
The two of them had their own thoughts and followed the enemy to catch up.
In the eyes of a real person, after losing the protection of the magic circle, he is just like a lamb, but he is afraid that another lunatic will use Ye Huolei to his death... This is something that does not happen in this area. Everyone has the right to practice Taoism, and the proportion of becoming a real person is extremely small.
, which ordinary person dares to fight against the real person Lingchi without fear of revenge?
At this time, we followed the corridor and pressed slowly. The space inside the fort was limited, and there was no strict defense mechanism. The so-called inner fort layout was a series of lanes, turrets, watchtowers, vestibules... Ancestral hall?
There was blood all the way, and he kept leaping to avoid the rapid fire of the big yellow crossbow, and used long-range magic to kill the remaining soldiers. In a short fight, he cleared away hundreds of young and strong men, and finally blasted open the door of the ancestral hall. The women and children inside looked shocked.
I am afraid to look back, my face changes color, my eyes are full of hatred...
At this point, it means that all the fathers, brothers and children outside have died in the battle.
"Okay, it's all here." Xuan Ying stroked his palms, his expression seemed to have calmed down, and he said calmly: "Wuchang, you go and set up the magic circle."
Immortal Impermanence bowed briefly, took out a black lotus, and planted it on the ground of the God's Domain. After it fell, it took root and grew instantly.
A black lotus bloomed in the void. Within the same few dozen miles, black lotuses also appeared in several forts that had been breached. The root systems of the blossoms were connected together, sucking the blood flowing on the ground, and forming sections of black lotus roots.
Sinking deep into the earth's veins, the deeper you go, the more control you gain over this area.
