Chapter 184 The demonic tide finally comes to an end, Chang'an is sharpening its sword!
May 12, sunny.
After completing the takeover of Hailong City and establishing a foothold in Caspian Sea, Octopus Paul personally escorted Hailong City's treasures to Chang'an City to claim credit.
The gold coins alone amounted to 4.5 million.
Far exceeded Tang Jing's previous expectations.
The Hailong clan is indeed the race that likes gold, silver and jewelry the most. They are truly wealthy!
In addition to gold coins, there are also various gold and silver jewelry, as well as pearls, jade, agate, cold iron and other rare treasures from the sea, which are filled with hundreds of boxes.
This shows how wealthy the Hailong clan is.
Of course, it's not just the Hailong clan. After the Chang'an War, not only the Hailong clan suffered, but all its affiliated races also suffered. The clan was wiped out, the clan was wiped out, and the clan was defeated miserably.
As Octopus Paul has settled in Hailong City on behalf of Chang'an, why don't you give a gift to express your gratitude?
for example.
Among the gold coins brought by Octopus Paul this time, more than one million were contributed by subordinate races.
No wonder it exceeded expectations.
Finally, there are the treasure chests found in Hailong City's treasury, including a black treasure chest, three diamond treasure chests, seven platinum treasure chests and fifteen gold treasure chests.
It truly corresponds to one sentence - a horse is not fat without a night of grass!
Ask Shangguan Wan'er to register the pearls, jade, agate, cold iron and other treasures one by one and put them in the warehouse. If these treasures are later sold, no matter what, they can be sold for one or two million gold coins.
even more.
Tang Jing started to open the treasure box happily again.
Still the old rules.
Save the most precious Black Glory Treasure Box for last.
From the other treasure chests, a total of four rare architectural drawings were found, namely the architectural drawings of the lead and zinc smelting plant, the architectural drawings of the large shipyard, the architectural drawings of the ship repairing plant and the architectural drawings of the container manufacturing plant.
Most of them are related to ships, and they are worthy of being collected by the sea people.
In addition, it also issued the "Technical Manual for the Manufacturing of Ironclad Ships", "Technical Manual for the Manufacturing of Steam Turbines", "Technical Manual for the Manufacturing of Gas Turbines" and "Technical Manual for the Manufacturing of Civilian Cargo Ships".
It's still related to ships.
With these technical manuals and architectural drawings, it is enough to support the great development of the coastal area.
Chang'an's shipbuilding industry will also step from the era of wooden ships to the era of iron-clad ships. Whether it is maritime transportation or navy, it will usher in a big explosion in the future.
Finally, there are two C-level talent summoning cards, a contract scroll and a rare item.
[Stand-in doll: After binding, you can increase the chance of resurrection]
"Not bad!"
Although Tang Jing is difficult to kill, having one more chance to be resurrected gives him an extra layer of protection.
No problem.
After binding, put the storage ring into it.
at last.
Only then did Tang Jing open the Black Glory Treasure Box with great anticipation.
[Book of Sage: A high-level spell book. The mage can copy the various spells he has learned in the Book of Sage in advance, and release them instantly without any loss of mana. 】
[Friendly reminder: The cooling period of various spells is 24 hours]
"Good stuff!"
The Black Treasure Chest is the Black Treasure Chest, and Tang Jing was never disappointed with the items he brought out every time.
The Book of the Sage.
To put it bluntly, it is a spell scroll that can be used repeatedly.
Tang Jing copied the spells he had learned in the Book of Sages in advance. Subsequently, he would have one more chance to cast spells every day without consuming any mana.
Obviously, the further back in time, the greater the value of the Book of Sages.
Especially for those super-level spells and forbidden spells, the Book of Sages is like a bug.
………
After opening the treasure box, Tang Jing immediately used the two C-level talent summoning cards he had just obtained.
Or summon a general.
"Hou Junji!"
"Shidakai!"
"Meet the adults!"
Oops, very lucky, two famous generals again.
Hou Junji, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty and the grandson of Hou Zhi, the governor of Pingzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
He joined the shogunate of King Qin Li Shimin when he was young, and participated in many conquests. In the ninth year of Wude, he helped Li Shimin launch the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, and was ranked first in merit with Changsun Wuji and other five people.
He was awarded the title of General Youwei and granted the title of Duke of Lu.
Wei Zheng recommended him as a prime minister.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War and participated in government affairs.
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Jingping Tuyuhun.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, he was renamed Chen Guogong.
In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the general manager of Yijiaohe Road March sent troops to attack Gaochang State, and the following year it was peaceful.
He was imprisoned for greedy gold and treasure, and he was dissatisfied. In the 17th year of Zhenguan, he made an appointment with Zhang Liang to join the rebellion.
In the same year, he was listed among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
He was immediately accused of conspiring with Prince Li Chengqian and executed.
………
Shi Dakai, nicknamed Shi Gandang, was a famous general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang's reign, he followed Hong Xiuquan and became a Christian worshiper. After the Jintian Uprising, he worshiped the general of the Zuo Army and was granted the title of "Yi Wang Five Thousand Years Old" by the later Jin Dynasty.
In the fifth year of Xianfeng's reign, he severely damaged the Hunan Navy in Jiujiang and Hukou, took advantage of the victory in the Western Expedition, and conquered Wuchang three times. In November, he marched into Jiangxi and captured large areas of Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei provinces.
After the Tianjing Incident in the sixth year of Xianfeng, he was forced by Wei Changhui and fled Tianjing for a time. After the incident subsided, he returned, stabilized the situation, took charge of the government, and was respected by the military and the people as the "Righteous King".
Because he was jealous of Hong Xiuquan, he ran away from Tianjing again the next year.
In the second year of Tongzhi, he led his troops deep into the Yuexi Mountains of Sichuan and reached the south bank of the Dadu River. In the end, the entire army was wiped out.
After being captured, he died in Chengdu at the age of 32.
Shi Dakai was one of the most legendary figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He cared about the people's livelihood and his life stories were praised by later generations. He was considered "the most perfect image in the peasant uprisings of all ages."
After seeing each other.
Tang Jing immediately appointed Hou Junji as the division commander of the 16th Division of the Fengxiang Corps, replacing the concurrent deputy commander Su Dingfang. He appointed Shi Dakai as the division commander of the 22nd Division of the Flying Bear Corps, replacing the concurrent deputy commander Di Qing.
The general background of the two legions has been further enhanced.
………
The next five days were generally calm.
May 18.
The battlefield in the Beiluo Mountains that lasted for a month finally came with good news——
With the full cooperation of the elves and dwarves, and under the unified command and dispatch of the hussar general Bai Qi, the Longxiang Army, the Tiance Army, and the Guards Army finally achieved a great victory against the demonic tide.
Most of the monsters raging in the Beiluo Mountains have been eliminated.
leftover.
It is the source of the demonic tide - Devil's Valley.
It was reported that there was a demonized sixth-level high-level dragon entrenched in the Devil's Valley. For this reason, Bai Qi ordered the Longxiang Legion and Tiance Legion to withdraw to Chang'an to rest, while also asking for help from Chang'an.
Tang Jing immediately decided to visit Devil's Valley himself.
In addition to the Imperial Guard Brigade led by Xu Chu, they were accompanied by the Shadow Guards, Suzaku Xiaohong, Behemoth Xiao Heizi, and the biggest killer - Li Yuanba.
There are even two magic crystal cannons installed in the storage ring.
This is equivalent to bringing Chang'an's strongest combat power to the front line of the decisive battle against the demonic tide.
The group of people traveled in a simple manner.
Before evening that day, we arrived at the camp near Devil's Valley.
Affected by the demonic tide, Tang Jing's most obvious feeling along the way was that in the Beiluo Mountains, which was originally full of vitality, there were large areas of withered plants everywhere.
Animal carcasses can also be found everywhere.
Especially the area around Devil's Valley has become a dead place.
"grown ups!"
Those who came out to greet him were not only the Chang'an generals headed by Bai Qi, but also the Elf Queen and the Dwarf King.
It can be seen that the Elf Queen has figured it out.
Truly recognized Chang'an's status as the suzerain state.
After a brief chat, Bai Qi introduced the specific situation of Devil Valley: "In addition to the sixth-level demon dragon at the head, there is also a fifth-level demon dragon, a fifth-level demon ape, and two fifth-level hill giants in the valley."
Needless to say.
Regardless of the demon dragon, demon ape, or giant, they all had no time to escape from the Beiluo Mountains and were infected by the demonic tide.
The remaining monsters are nothing to worry about.
"Two hill giants, it's time for you to take action." After listening to the introduction, Tang Jing looked at the Elf Queen and Dwarf King sitting below, and assigned the task on the spot.
"no problem!"
The Elf Queen and the Dwarf King readily agreed. After all, they were late fifth-level existences.
I still have this little bit of confidence.
The dwarf king couldn't hold back and asked tentatively: "Then, the rest...?"
Not to mention the remaining sixth-level demonic dragons, the fifth-level demonic dragons and demonic apes are both close to the peak of the fifth-level, and are very difficult to deal with.
"Chang'an is responsible for cooking them."
Tang Jing, on the other hand, downplayed it and seemed not to take these powerful enemies seriously at all.
………
Early the next morning.
After gathering all the troops, since the monsters couldn't communicate normally at all, they didn't do any shouting in front of the formation, and headed straight to Devil's Valley to initiate the final decisive battle.
Li Yuanba took on the most difficult level 6 demon dragon.
The Elf Queen and the Dwarf King respectively took over a hill giant according to yesterday's arrangement.
Suzaku Xiaohong entangled the fifth-level demon ape.
In the end, there was only a fifth-level demon dragon left, stopping in mid-air and about to swoop towards the army. Tang Jing, however, did not panic at all. He took out the book of seals and summoned the Sea Dragon King, who had completed the transformation of the undead.
"Ang~~~"
After transforming into a bone dragon, the Sea Dragon King's strength remained the same as when he was alive, and he immediately stopped the fifth-level demon dragon.
Fighting together.
"!!!"
When the Elf Queen and Dwarf King saw this in the distance, their eyes couldn't help but condense.
I was shocked by Changan's high-end combat power.
He is a sixth-level general, a fifth-level beast pet, and even a peak fifth-level bone dragon.
It is really.
Until this moment, they had completely surrendered to Chang'an.
"kill!"
On the other side, Bai Qi, who was still responsible for commanding the battle, saw that the most difficult monsters in Devil Valley were being held back, and immediately commanded the army to rush into the depths of Devil Valley and eliminate the last monsters.
Tang Jing stayed where he was and didn't move.
However, the Shadow Guards were acting quietly. They first cooperated with Suzaku Xiaohong and severely injured the demon ape in one fell swoop.
Tang Jing took advantage of the situation and took out the contract scroll he had obtained from opening the treasure chest before, and took the Demon Ape as his fifth pet. He then used the Blessing Technique to heal the Demon Ape's wounds, and at the same time used "Purification" to remove its demonic effect.
"Thank you, Master!"
The demon ape has extremely strong vitality. The first time he woke up, he thanked Tang Jing.
Being adopted as a pet is better than being killed.
On the other side, the Shadow Guard quietly sneaked into the deepest part of Devil's Valley, where it was still shrouded in black mist that was so thick that it couldn't be broken away. They couldn't see their fingers and could only feel the gusts of cold wind.
This kind of environment is the most suitable for the Shadow Guard to perform.
The fighting outside the valley continues.
With the demon ape being adopted as a pet by Tang Jing, the balance of victory has tipped towards Chang'an.
Suzaku Xiaohong first cooperated with the Bone Dragon to kill the fifth-level demonic dragon in one fell swoop. Then, he joined forces with the Bone Dragon to force the sixth-level demonic dragon from the air to the ground to fight.
The ground is Li Yuanba's home court.
"die!"
With Suzaku Xiaohong and Bone Dragon coordinating in the air, Li Yuanba seized the opportunity and killed the sixth-level demon dragon in one fell swoop.
"!!!"
Seeing Chang'an's side being so brave and defeating their opponents in just a few strokes, both the Elf Queen and the Dwarf King looked a bit confused.
Immediately take out the trump card at the bottom of the box and kill the two hill giants as quickly as possible.
Finally some face was saved.
"Huh?"
Tang Jing was surprised. As the monsters were eliminated one by one, the black fog in the valley gradually dispersed, and the last piece of black fog rapidly gathered towards the deepest part of the valley.
Follow him immediately.
As the last piece of black fog dissipated, a deep space crack appeared in the deepest part of the valley.
And that crack.
It is also closing quickly.
In an instant, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
Only Tang Jing knows.
Before the space crack disappeared, Shadow Guards No. 9 and No. 10 took the initiative to enter it.
Completely lost contact.
"I hope the follow-up will bring some unexpected surprises."
"Star Bound" claims to be a battle for hegemony between civilizations in the heavens. There can be no planet like Blue Star, there must be other civilized planets.
Behind the space cracks, there may be other exotic civilizations connected.
Just think of it as an early move.
With the strength of the Shadow Guards, they should be able to survive in a foreign land and gather relevant information at the same time.
Maybe we can meet again in the future.
"Very good!"
Seeing the black fog dissipating and the space cracks disappearing, the Elf Queen and the Dwarf King were very excited. This meant that they finally kept their ancestral land and did not have to move out of the Beiluo Mountains.
"Thank you, sir!"
After the excitement, the two of them immediately thanked Tang Jing sincerely.
Chang'an is indeed very interesting.
"Do you two know what is behind this valley?" Tang Jing asked curiously.
"About ten miles south of the valley is the Lieyang Kingdom. According to ethnic records, three hundred years ago, the Aztec Alliance could travel between the Lieyang Kingdom and the Aztec Alliance on both sides of the Beiluo Mountains."
"Because of the emergence of Devil's Valley, the only mountain road has been isolated." The Elf Queen said.
"oh?"
Tang Jing was immediately interested. Doesn't this mean that as long as the Devil's Valley is guarded, Chang'an's tentacles can be extended to Lieyang Kingdom in one fell swoop?!
Think of this.
Immediately take out a fortress architectural drawing and choose to build the fortress at the southern exit of Devil's Valley.
Stone or something.
There are ready-made ones in the valley, and there is no need to transport them from Chang'an.
"Arrange a brigade of the 1st Infantry Division of the Guards Corps to guard Devil's Valley for a long time."
Tang Jing asked Bai Qi.
"promise!"
Bai Qi is a god-level general, so he naturally understands the strategic position of Devil Valley.
It is indeed a battleground for military strategists.
"Sir, do you want to send troops to attack Lieyang Kingdom?" Bai Qi was eager to try.
"hold on."
Tang Jing waved his hand, "First solve Luoton County, Nash County, and unify the Valley Province, and then talk about other things."
Promotion to the principality is the first priority.
