Chapter 218 Decision, Madness, Darkness Before Dawn
"How's it going?"
In the Jingjue Royal Court army camp, Wei Shu asked a general beside him.
The general looked a little panicked and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, the Fire Worshiping Court has used the art of corpse ghosts!"
"What!"
Wei Shu stood up suddenly, his face turning extremely pale.
The art of the corpse ghost is an extremely evil technique in legend. In the Western Region, the art of the corpse ghost also carries the god of death.
They believe in various gods, such as the god of death, the god of fire, the god of sandstorms, etc. Although these gods are limited to legends, they are groundless and there are traces of the legends.
The legends of gods all have real characters.
For example, the Moon God worshiped by their Jingjue Royal Court is a powerful cultivator. Although that cultivator was a person from thousands of years ago and can no longer be found today, her power has left a legend
It has become an object of belief for many people.
Wei Shu doesn't believe in gods, but she knows how terrifying the ghost technique is.
And Abao next to him also turned pale with fear.
"Mother, do we still want to go there?" Abao asked with some fear.
At this time, they had already left their original camp and arrived behind the mountains, which was only fifty miles away from the Fire Worship King's camp.
Wei Shu has decided to follow Zhao Gao's wishes and destroy the Fire Worshiping Court, so as long as they wait until dawn, they will launch an attack on the Fire Worshiping Court.
But at this juncture, the Fire Worshiping Court actually used the corpse ghost technique.
Wei Shu's expression changed again and again, and a pair of vicissitudes of his eyes jumped rapidly.
She is hesitating.
There is no doubt about the horror of the corpse art.
But what is even more terrifying is the Fire Worshiping Court who masters the art of corpse ghosts.
If the Fire Worshiping Royal Court defeats Dali, is it possible for the Jingjue Royal Court to survive?
"What time is it!"
"Return to Your Majesty at the eleventh hour!"
When Wei Shu heard this, he showed a determined look on his face and said: "Gather your troops and prepare to go out to fight!"
There was less than an hour before dawn, and it would take a lot of time to assemble a hundred thousand troops. Now she didn't have much time to hesitate.
And if this opportunity is missed, the King of Jingjue will have no choice but to be manipulated by the King of Fire Worshipers.
Perhaps in this battle, Jingjue Royal Court is also in danger of being destroyed.
But rather than live humblely, Wei Shu would rather fight vigorously.
In the past, without Dali's support, there was no hope of survival even if she fought hard, but now hope is right in front of her. Even if this hope seems very slim to her, she will still fight for it.
"Here!"
Several generals from the Fire Worship Court took orders one after another, exited the camp and began to gather troops.
Po's face was still pale, but his fear had dissipated a lot.
She is not as decisive and firm as Wei Shu, but she is the future queen of the Royal Court, and she also has her own persistence and belief.
"Abao, you stay in the camp." Wei Shu ordered.
"Why?" Abao asked in confusion.
She is not a weak princess, she is also a warrior. She comes with the army just to fight.
Wei Shu looked at her, his eyes full of love.
"If we lose this battle, you have to go to Dali, go to Dali's Kyoto, and ask the powerful Emperor Li to help us."
Abao was slightly stunned, "I want to follow my mother to fight."
Wei Shu shook his head slightly, "My mother is already old. It would not be a pity even if she died in battle, but you are different. You are still young. You are the hope of our elite royal court."
"As long as you are still here, our Jingjue Royal Court will not be destroyed."
"Once we are defeated, my mother, the soldiers in the army, and the people of the royal court will all need you to take revenge."
"Do you understand?"
Abao was silent.
She naturally understands her mother's thoughts and the responsibilities she shoulders.
Although she wanted to follow her mother to fight, she knew what she should do most now.
There was a mist in her eyes.
Plop!
"My daughter hopes that her mother will come back victorious!"
Wei Shu stepped forward, stroked her head, and said with a smile: "You are the future queen. If my mother is gone, you can't cry anymore."
"My daughter understands!"
Although Abao said she understood, the tears in her eyes still rolled down her delicate cheeks like broken beads.
…
Inside Lingwei Pass.
The howling cold wind is getting colder and colder, and the fluttering snow and frost are getting faster and faster.
The billowing smoke rose in the dark night like billowing demonic energy.
The fighting in the city became more and more intense and brutal.
All the corpses outside the city have poured into the city. They are destroying and killing wantonly in the streets and houses.
The mindless corpses seem to have the will to destroy everything. They are not afraid of death or pain.
"Guard Battalion, stop them!"
On the street, Xue Yi, who was wearing armor, roared hoarsely.
The battle was more cruel than he imagined, not because the soldiers were not fighting hard enough, but because these corpses were too terrifying.
The bodies of the ghouls are frozen by ice and their movements are slightly slower, but their combat effectiveness is not weak at all.
Their hands and feet are like weapons and can easily tear through the bodies of soldiers.
And as long as the head is not chopped off, they will not stop fighting.
Facing such an enemy, the soldiers must not only suppress the fear in their hearts, but also concentrate on fighting. If they are not careful, they will be torn apart by the corpses.
Click!
Xue Yi chopped down a corpse in front of him and looked up at the street ahead.
Everywhere he looked, there were densely packed corpses.
"Damn it!" He cursed secretly.
This battle has been going on for more than an hour. If they continue to fight, they may not be able to hold on for long.
"General, the streets on the south side have been breached!"
At this moment, a messenger hurried over to report.
Xue Yi's eyes were wide open. He grabbed a general next to him and asked, "Do we have any support?"
In fact, he knew in his heart that they had no support, but he still wanted to ask.
The general said with a sad face: "The news has been spread, but the fastest support will arrive in five hours."
Lingwei Pass is surrounded by dangerous mountains, and their reinforcements are the border troops stationed at other passes.
Five hours!
By the time the reinforcements arrive, they may have all been torn to pieces by these corpses.
Xue Yi gritted his teeth.
At this time, his heart was filled with resentment.
Resentment towards the Fire Worshiping Court, towards Luo Yade, towards those who used the art of corpse ghosts, as well as towards the court and Qin Wei, the new emperor.
"Why?"
"Why not mobilize the garrison from Yuanzhou to come to support!"
"Ah~~"
Xue Yi roared angrily.
If the court mobilized the garrison from Yuanzhou, the garrison should have arrived at Lingweiguan by this time.
Resentment brings boundless rage, which drives Xue Yi into madness!
"kill!"
He jumped up and rushed directly into the zombies.
The broad knife in his hand swept across like a door panel, one after another, and each sweep swept away a dozen corpses.
Unfortunately, such an attack cannot kill the ghoul at all, it will only drain his last strength.
…
Time passed by minute by minute, and suddenly a silvery-white dawn appeared in the eastern sky.
In an instant, the dark sky became a bit pale, and the hazy light cast a silver halo on the distant mountains.
On top of the peaks, Zhao Gao looked down at Lingweiguan Pass below.
"Are they all here?"
A faint voice floated in the cold wind.
"Back to my lord, the army of King Jingjue has already left the camp and will arrive in about half an hour."
"The army of the Dayue Royal Court has already set up camp in the west of the Fire Worship Court and is ready to join the battle at any time. The army of the Dayuan Royal Court is still on the way and may arrive late. It is estimated to take an hour."
Reported by Xiao Wu.
This time Zhao Gao contacted three royal courts, Jingjue Royal Court, Dayue Royal Court, and Dayuan Royal Court.
In fact, the most positive thing is not the King's Court of Jingjue, but the King's Court of the Great Moon.
Among the countries in the Western Region, the overall strength of the Great Moon Royal Court is only lower than that of the Fire Worshiping Royal Court.
The person who most wants to kill the number one is the number two.
The third one wants to kill both the first and second ones.
Therefore, under Zhao Gao's coercion and inducement, they agreed to Zhao Gao's proposal without any hesitation and jointly besieged the Fire Worshiping Palace.
The Fire Worshiping Royal Court thought that his power could overwhelm the countries in the Western Regions, but the countries in the Western Regions had already regarded the Fire Worshiping Royal Court as their biggest enemy.
On the contrary, Dali is not very important in their hearts.
They will not hate Dali, but will worship him.
Distance brings beauty, and a powerful dynasty that has no intersection with them and is far away has become their most respected existence.
Of course, if they were bordering Dali like the Rong tribe or the three southern barbarian kingdoms, maybe they would no longer respect Dali, and they would become Dali's enemies.
But now the Fire Worship Court is their biggest enemy.
Zhao Gao looked up at the eastern sky and said, "It's almost done!"
"Send a message to General Xue Yi. After the zombie army is destroyed, ask them to immediately leave the city and attack the Fire Worshiping King's camp!"
"Here!"
Xiao Wu responded.
The next moment.
Zhao Gao's figure disappeared on the peaks.
Xiao Wu only saw a faint figure falling into the camp of the Fire Worshiping Royal Court like falling snowflakes in the gray sky and earth.
Within a moment, there was a commotion in the Fire Worshiping King's camp.
"There is an enemy invasion!"
"Ah, the priests are dead!"
"Devil!"
Shouts of fear spread throughout the camp of the Fire Worship Court.
In the dim camp, black figures kept moving back and forth.
Wherever the figure passes, it will leave a trail of blood and a burst of frightened screams.
The dark night before dawn is the protective color of Luo Yu. Hundreds of Luo Yu members shuttle through this camp, and they come and go without a trace like ghosts.
Snare!
This is the most terrifying existence in Dali, an existence even more terrifying than the life-receiving person.
The person who takes orders is the foundation accumulated by the old emperor for decades, but the net is the existence cultivated by Qin Wei's cheating.
Those with cultivation levels below seventh level are not eligible to join Luo Wen, only those with ninth level cultivation are official members of Luo Wen.
In order to make the snare strong enough, Qin Wei spent several innate prisoners.
All the innate prisoners Dali imprisoned were all spent by him on Luo Sheng.
There are currently five innate warriors in Luowang alone. Although they are only innate warriors without artistic conception, it is enough for them to create a fear that no one can match.
In front of the Fire Worshiping King's Camp.
Luo Yade and Mu Yanxin's expressions changed greatly.
"What's going on?"
The commotion in the camp gave Royard a strong sense of uneasiness.
Mu Yanxin looked at the commotion, "There is an innate strong man!"
"What?"
Royard panicked.
"Go and stop him!"
Mu Yanxin didn't say much, he immediately jumped up and ran towards the camp.
Luo Yade looked at his figure, turned his head suddenly, and looked in the direction of Lingwei Pass City.
Under the dim dawn, there are still some mutilated ghouls left outside Lingweiguan City. They have lost their legs and cannot stand, so they can only crawl on the ground. They have not entered the city, but are just wandering around outside the city.
However, at this time, these corpses had all disappeared.
Instead of disappearing, he turned into a corpse again, lying in the ice and snow.
