It is an important city in the northwest of Qianlingzhou.
The geographical location of Ceres City is extremely important.
If Ceres City is lost, Qianlingzhou will lose the initiative in the northwest.
At that time, the army of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom can retreat to defend, advance or attack, and can even join forces with other armies to quickly coordinate.
Not only that, Ceres City is also a huge granary! It is also a huge transfer station.
After occupying Ceres City, not to mention the armies attacking from other directions, just from the northwest direction alone, the supply line of the army of Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom will basically not have any big problems.
In order to ensure the safety of Cereshen City, Qian Lingzhou specially sent General Zhao, an experienced pillar of the country!
In addition, there are fifteen people in the elite team!
Five hundred thousand soldiers!
These 500,000 soldiers are all elite!
Qianling Holy Land also asked Zhao Lingxue from the Immortal Realm, Qinfeng Peak Master, and a thousand disciples from Qianling Holy Land to garrison it!
Don't seek no merit, but seek no fault.
What Xia Liuliu wants is for Gushen City to survive!
There absolutely cannot be any accidents! If an accident occurs in Ceres City, everything will fall into an extremely passive situation.
But as expected, something happened to Ceres City.
Everyone thinks that Ceres City will be an extremely difficult and protracted battle, let alone Qian Lingzhou's side.
The Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom's side is ready for a protracted war.
At the beginning, the two sides fought back and forth, and Ceres City's defense was indeed very smooth.
But not long after, the Demon Kingdom invested more and more demon troops, and more and more demon masters came to support.
Anyway, according to the posture of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, it is the kind of rhythm that will not give up until the Ceres City is captured.
Gradually, the offensive pressure from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom increased.
But no matter what, it is difficult to attack a city and easy to defend it.
Ceres City was still impregnable and held on perfectly.
The longer it lasts, the more beneficial it will be for Qian Lingzhou.
The result was unexpected.
Not long ago, Ceres City found an opportunity!
That is, there is an army in Qianlingzhou, and this army escaped from another city.
Now he is on his way to Ceres City.
And Ceres City got the information, that is, the demon army that attacked Ceres City, and they planned to intercept and massacre this army that was going to defect to Ceres City!
Da Guozhu, who was responsible for defending the city, was wondering whether he should seize this opportunity!
If Ceres City directly sends troops, then Ceres City can directly attack this demon army and cause great damage to this demon army!
Not only that, the demon army he saved will also greatly supplement his own strength, and will also become a big boost to him.
The next step is to defend the city for as long as you want, and you might even be able to beat the opponent hard!
This will be the key battle to determine the northwest front!
But Da Guozhu also doubted whether there might be fraud in it!
As a result, Da Guozhu held a meeting overnight to discuss.
The final result of the discussion was – take the initiative!
Because so what if it’s a scam?
When the time comes, Ceres City will attack from behind, and the army that has come to take refuge in Ceres City will attack from the front. If they attack from both sides, what kind of disadvantage will they be able to fall into?
At least, this is a balance of power situation.
so.
The brain trust in Ceres City unanimously agreed that we should attack!
For the battlefield, there are as many benefits as there are risks.
Not to mention, this opportunity in Ceres City can reduce risks to a minimum!
This can be said to be a transaction where the benefits outweigh the risks!
"Dry!"
If you don’t vote for this, there won’t be such a good deal in the future!
Just do it. After making the decision, Ceres City only left 150,000 soldiers to defend the city, and all other soldiers went to attack!
In the end, Ceres City really encountered the demon army, and Ceres City also successfully attacked from both sides.
It's just that it's not the demon army being attacked from two sides, but the Ceres City being attacked from two sides.
The actions of the Ceres City army were completely exposed!
That is to say!
In Ceres City! There is a traitor!
What's more, what Cereshen City didn't expect was that the army that had taken refuge in Cereshen City also betrayed them!
In fact, this army is nothing more than bait!
Under this double betrayal, Ceres City returned defeated.
An army of 300,000 went out, but only 150,000 came back!
Moreover, the top general of Cereshen City, the Great Pillar of the Qi Kingdom, was seriously injured in this attack. In addition, he was filled with anger and deep self-blame. After returning to the city, he left quickly.
With their vitality severely damaged, and the fact that they still couldn't find out who the traitor was in Ceres City, they were leaderless and didn't trust anyone.
There are big cracks in Ceres City's defense.
Even if Qi State sent a general in time to take charge of the overall situation, the general's strength was indeed not enough, and Cereshen City was already helpless.
The troops were severely damaged, spies could not be found, and there was mutual suspicion. In addition, generals were changed before the battle. In less than a few months, the originally impregnable Ceres City was now on the verge of collapse.
Finally, at this point, we had no choice but to retreat.
The army in Ceres City is divided into two parts. A small part leads the people to retreat in batches, and the other part defends Ceres City!
On the wall of Ceres City.
Zhao Lingxue frowned slightly as she looked at the tens of thousands of troops under the city.
This will be a tough battle!
Early in the morning, the demon army launched an siege. Compared with the last siege, this time the demon army's siege was even more fierce.
It can be seen that the demon army just wants to attack the entire Ceres City in this battle! They don't want to delay any more time, they want to take advantage of your illness to kill you!
One by one, the demon army climbed up the city wall with the help of climbing ladders.
The soldiers of Ceres City were desperately trying to stop him.
But more and more demon armies climbed up the city wall, and the towering city wall of Ceres City was already falling into a fight.
On the ground, the giants were smashing the city gate again and again with their battering rams.
In the sky, dragons and various birds and monsters launched air strikes.
Various anti-aircraft artillery shells in Ceres City were continuously fired at these birds and monsters.
"Monks above the Golden Core realm! Follow me to kill the enemy!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Lingxue shouted and rushed down the city wall.
For Zhao Lingxue, places like city walls are difficult to use and can easily hurt friendly troops, which greatly limits his combat power.
But it’s easier under the city!
Zhao Lingxue held a long sword and swung it. The heads of the two giants were chopped off by Zhao Lingxue! The huge bodies fell to the ground!
With a strong step, Zhao Lingxue rushed into the demon army. Every time Zhao Lingxue swung her sword, hundreds of the demon army were cut in half, creating a huge gap.
However, this gap did not last long, and other demon armies immediately filled in to make up for it!
A snake found an opportunity and used its magical power to swallow Zhao Lingxue!
However, Zhao Ling's snowman sword merged into one and turned into a white stream of light that penetrated the snake.
When Zhao Lingxue emerged from the tail of the white snake, several sword rays chopped the white snake into countless pieces of flesh and blood.
"Human! Cultivating is rampant!"
A man was holding a giant sword! He slashed at Zhao Lingxue with his sword!
This man is a tiger demon, and the giant sword in his hand is forged from a thousand-year-old dragon bone. The whole sword is filled with the power of a dragon!
"Boom!"
This giant sword hit Zhao Lingxue's head hard.
Zhao Lingxue had no time to escape, so she blocked it with a horizontal sword!
“Dong dong dong dong!!!”
A huge explosion exploded around Zhao Lingxue.
This kind of collision and raging between sword energies turned many demon clan soldiers into a bloody mist!
But for Zhao Lingxue, if these monster generals are dead, they are dead. It is none of his business anyway, and the ones who died are not his own.
That tiger clan monk was also very indifferent.
These weaklings are dead, so what use can they have?
The tiger clan swordsman swung the giant sword in his hand again, intending to smash Zhao Lingxue's head into pieces.
Zhao Lingxue bent down to dodge. Fortunately, Zhao Lingxue's bear was relatively flat, otherwise, this sword might not really be able to dodge.
The huge sword wind slashed past Zhao Lingxue's face and hit the city gate heavily, but this sword wind was eventually offset by the protective formation of Ceres City.
Zhao Lingxue raised her sword and took advantage of the opponent's giant sword to kill him!
But Zhao Lingxue didn't expect that the other party would be so flexible.
"sulfuric acid!"
The giant sword blocked the tiger clan monk again, and the sword energy exploded. Zhao Lingxue and the tiger clan monk retreated at the same time.
When Zhao Lingxue and the tiger clan monk stood firm at the same time, they stepped on the ground, and the ground was crushed. One person and one monster fought again with weapons.
The tiger clan monk found an opportunity and looked at Zhao Lingxue's body and hit him hard on the side!
Even if Zhao Lingxue blocked this attack with his horizontal sword, it would be of no avail.
This heavy force must be able to hit the opponent's body.
The tiger clan monk believed that his sword would be able to severely injure the opponent and flatten the opponent's thin body!
But at this moment, Zhao Lingxue blocked with his sword, and the long sword in Zhao Lingxue's hand shifted at an angle.
It was at this angle that Zhao Lingxue flew into the air with the help of the tiger clan monks.
"Oops!" The Tiger Clan monk secretly said something bad.
But it's too late.
"Hen Yi Sword Shadow!"
Zhao Lingxue's body transformed from one to three in the air, and from three to nine!
A total of nine figures passed in front of each other.
When the nine figures were reunited into one, Zhao Lingxue turned the long sword in her hand and made a circle.
The tiger demon behind Zhao Lingxue has been cut into pieces.
"As expected of being the direct disciple of the Henyi Sword Sect, and even being called the next head of the Henyi Sword Sect, it's really different."
A man clapped his hands and walked towards Zhao Lingxue.
This man is the top general on the northwest front of Qianlingzhou—Xuan Xiao!
Zhao Lingxue swung hard, and the blood on the sword spattered on the ground. She looked at the other party coldly: "When did you bribe us?"
Xuan Xiao spread his hands: "Who knows? But your human race is really interesting, greedy, ignorant, selfish, and can give up everything for the sake of profit.
During the first human-male war, logically speaking, you should have already suffered through this.
Why was it bought all at once now?
Is it possible that this is what is called human nature?”
"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhao Lingxue frowned.
"Miss Zhao, stop struggling, it's useless."
Xuan Xiao said with a smile.
"We in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom attach great importance to the Henyi Sword Sect, and Miss Zhao's swordsmanship talent is rare in the world.
It would be such a pity if Miss Zhao died like this.
It goes without saying what the Wanfa Tianxia is like.
Even Qianling Continent can be instigated by us to rebel. Do you need to talk about the other continents in your world?
Those guys are all selfish beings.
It won't be long before the Wanfa Tianxia will be annexed by our Wanfan Kingdom.
If that's the case.
So why doesn't Miss Zhao join our Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom?
We can guarantee that.
As long as Miss Zhao joins our Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
Miss Zhao and the Henyi Sword Sect can both receive the highest courtesy!
In the future world, the status of Miss Zhao and the Henyi Sword Sect will not weaken at all! It will even be better than it is now!"
"Huh? That's it?" Zhao Lingxue smiled disdainfully, "It is impossible for your Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to annex the Ten Thousand Fa World, and no disciple of the Henyi Sword Sect will betray the Ten Thousand Fa World!"
Zhao Lingxue stepped forward with a sword in hand to wipe out the noise.
"Oh, that's really a pity."
Xuan Xiao shook his head.
"If that's the case, then let's kill him."
As soon as Xuan Xiao finished speaking, seven sword cultivators fell directly towards Zhao Lingxue from the sky.
【undercurrent】
It is an organization of the Imperial Palace of Ten Thousand Monsters.
Specialized in assassinations.
It is composed of seven sword cultivators.
These seven sword cultivators are all at least in the late Jade Pu realm. Their individual strength is extremely powerful, let alone the undercurrents that cooperate with each other and attack together.
Even monks in the Ascension Realm will die in the hands of the undercurrent!
"Miss Zhao, let's go."
Hustle turned around and walked towards the military formation.
Even at his peak state, Zhao Lingxue would not be able to defeat the undercurrent, let alone how much Zhao Lingxue's spiritual power and physical strength had already been lost.
But just pretend that Xuan Xiao has just taken a few steps.
A strange and powerful sword energy fell from the sky and hit Zhao Lingxue directly in front of him.
When Xuan Xiao turned around again, seven sword cultivators from the undercurrent were already standing in front of Xuan Xiao.
Seven long swords of different styles were stacked together, blocking Xuan Xiao's heart.
Xuan Xiao raised his head, and leaning against seven long swords of different styles was a cyan long sword.
The sword holder was a man. The tip of the blue long sword blocked the seven swords, and sparks flew out.
