Time flies, and before you know it, Liu Ming has been in the Evil Ghost Realm for five years.
In a plain area a hundred miles away from the north of the Black Peak Valley, a majestic giant city is located here. The area is twice the size of Golden Light City. The simple green and black city walls stretch tall and exude a rich and majestic atmosphere.
The large and small pits, incomplete and other battle marks on the outer wall seem to tell people about the scenes of gunfire that this fortress has experienced.
On the city wall, there are rows of giant crossbows, trebuchets and other large equipment. There are also dozens of cylindrical towers around the city, each of which is tens of feet high and has countless runes engraved on it.
, flashing with various colors of light.
This is the Taitian Fortress, the largest fortress of the four major human sects in the Evil Ghost Realm.
In the city at this moment, groups of monks wearing armor from various legions could be seen walking past from time to time. Their faces looked very heavy, and the entire fortress was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Suddenly, a few faint sounds of breaking through the sky came from the horizon far away from the northern city wall, causing the monks stationed on the city wall to pay attention.
"It's okay, the patrol team is back!" As the voice of a middle-aged man wearing a white captain's uniform sounded, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
In the blink of an eye, the escaping light in the distance arrived nearby amidst the sound of breaking through the air. It turned out to be a group of more than ten monks. In a few flashes, they landed on the north wall.
The leader of the team was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe. He looked to be in his thirties, with a slightly aged look on his face. His cultivation had reached the late stage of Zhendan.
There are more than a dozen monks in the team behind him, dressed in the uniforms of the four legions of green, yellow, white and black. All of them are in the fake alchemy stage, and their mana fluctuations are extremely powerful, no less than the ordinary real ones.
A monk in the early days of Dan.
"Okay. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and rest first. But don't relax too much. No one knows whether the evil ghost army will attack here." The middle-aged man in yellow robe said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" More than a dozen monks in the fake alchemy stage nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged man in yellow robe waved his hand, turned around and flew into the city. The others dispersed, and soon only a young man in green armor was left on the city wall.
It was Liu Ming.
He looked towards the distance of Taitian Fortress. His face was a little solemn, and after a moment he flew down the city wall. He walked towards the city, and after a while, he stopped at a round arch-shaped room not far from the north wall.
In front of the stone house.
After he waved his hand and cast a spell, he quickly walked into the stone house.
This is a simple temporary residence. Although the area is not large, it is equipped with chairs and beds, and there are several partitions and restrictions. It can be regarded as a small cave with all the internal organs.
Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the bed. He sat down cross-legged and fell into deep thought.
During these five years, the battle between the four major legions and the Evil Ghost Legion became increasingly fierce. At first, they only fought in the outer areas. The four major legions relied on the geographical advantages of the various fortresses to defend with ease.
But as time goes by, the offensive of the Evil Ghost Legion becomes more and more fierce, and they begin to truly attack the city and plunder the lake. The sphere of influence of the four legions is continuously compressed. Now, the nineteen fortresses of the Golden Light Army already have
Seven or eight armies fell, and the other three legions were in a similar situation.
Faced with the aggressive offensive of the Evil Ghost Legion, the Taiqing Sect's Golden Light Army had dispatched two groups of reinforcements to support them, and they were able to barely block the Evil Ghost Legion's offensive.
The war situation has become more and more intense recently. In addition to continuing to attack various fortresses, the evil ghost army has also gathered a large number of troops near the four main cities of Golden Light City, Haoqi City, Fumo City, and Puppet City, and has adopted an aggressive posture.
Although according to normal times, every hundred years or so, the evil ghost army will launch a large-scale offensive. Now, although the time is about the same, the offensive and scale of the ghost army have greatly exceeded any previous ones.
Speaking of which, the origin of these evil ghost legions is a mystery. After so many years of contact, although the human race has some understanding of their apparent strength, I am afraid that even the four major sects of the human race cannot tell how many trump cards they have.
So come.
Faced with this situation, the four major legions had no choice but to unite once again and plan how to deal with the upcoming large-scale attack by the evil ghost legion.
This Taitian Fortress is the most important hub between the main cities of the four human legions, and there is absolutely no room for failure. Therefore, although it is in a relatively backward area, the four legions have each selected a group of elites recently.
people, together with the garrison originally stationed in this city, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the evil ghost army.
Because Liu Ming had performed extremely well on many missions in the past few years, he was sent here more than ten days ago.
While he was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.
His expression changed, he stood up and opened the door, and saw a short-haired woman wearing cyan armor standing outside the door, it was Xiao Wu.
The faint spiritual pressure coming from this woman's body has clearly broken through to the true elixir realm.
After going through that life-and-death ordeal five years ago, he finally seized the opportunity for a breakthrough. After practicing in seclusion for a period of time, he finally succeeded in forming an elixir not long ago.
Originally, after she achieved this goal, she would return to the Wanling Mountains, but the war in the Evil Ghost Dao was urgent and needed manpower urgently. In addition, the Yin Qi of the Evil Ghost Dao was rich, which was of great help to the Ghost Dao monks like Xiao Wu in stabilizing the true elixir.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the woman stayed and was sent to Taitian Fortress as an elite disciple.
"Senior Sister Xiaowu." Liu Ming greeted with a smile.
"Junior Brother Liu, I just thought it was almost time for your patrol team to come back." Xiaowu said with a smile.
The two are fellow disciples, and the incident at Lingjiu Slope has made the relationship between the two much closer than before, and they even discuss some cultivation experiences from time to time on weekdays.
"Sister's team is responsible for the northwest area of the fortress, right?" Liu Ming let Xiao Wu into the room and got up to make some spiritual tea.
"Well, I just returned to the city yesterday. Fortunately, it's quite peaceful here. There are no signs of the ghost army yet." Xiao Wu glanced at Liu Ming, who was making tea, and said casually.
Although the Evil Ghost Legion has not yet appeared near Taitian Fortress, the few astronomical monks guarding the place still divided the monks Liu Ming and others who were sent later into several small teams, just in case, and gathered them near Taitian Fortress.
Patrol the area in turn.
Amidst the lingering aroma of tea, the two sat down on the chairs facing each other.
"I don't know what the situation is like in the four major cities... I didn't expect that we would encounter such a large-scale war just a few years after I came to Evil Ghost Road." Liu Ming sighed helplessly.
Although he came to this evil ghost realm with the intention of constantly tempering himself and breaking through the limits in the life-and-death fight with evil ghosts in order to find the slightest opportunity to advance, he did not want to participate in such a large-scale melee.
After all, in such a large-scale legion war, no matter how high the cultivation level and powerful the individual monk is, if he is not careful, he may fall into confusion.
"Junior brother Liu, don't worry too much. Taitian Fortress is still relatively safe. Each of the four legions has a Celestial Realm Supreme Elder who has been stationed here for a long time. There are also dozens of True Pill Realm deacons and elders to assist, plus several
Once the sect's formation and countless protective restrictions are fully activated, I think even if the mysterious ghost comes, it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time, enough to buy enough time for reinforcements to arrive." Xiaowu seemed to see that Liu
Ming's worries and talk about it.
"Well, I hope so." Liu Ming didn't know what Xiao Wu just said, but once the war started, no one could tell what would happen.
"Speaking of which, the army mobilized our group of monks here. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the defense force of the Taitian Fortress. On the other hand, it is probably that they also want to place us in a relatively safe area here as a team.
Important reserve force and use of surprise troops." Xiao Wu continued with a twinkle in his eye.
"If this is the case, at least our safety should not be a problem for the time being." Liu Ming said with a smile.
In this large-scale monk war, the first few waves of fighting were the most brutal, and the most monks died. Once the first few waves were overcome, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and not as many monks died as at the beginning. Therefore, more than ten days ago. Listen
Even Liu Ming was slightly relieved when he was sent to defend Taitian Fortress instead of directly facing the terrifying attack of the evil ghost army from the beginning.
, while Liu Ming and Xiao Wu were drinking tea and chatting, the huge "buzz" and "buzz" bells kept coming from all directions.
"Who is this voice?"
Liu Ming and Xiao Wu couldn't help but look at each other, then their expressions changed at the same time, and they immediately walked out of the house.
This sound is exactly the sound of the "soul bell" in the center of Taitian Fortress. This bell will only be rung when something terrible happens.
Many people outside, like Liu Ming and Liu Ming, walked out of their residences after hearing the sound of the bell. They looked in the direction of the sound of the bell with astonishment.
After the soul-crushing bell rang for a while, it slowly stopped.
"Disciples of all sects, gather at the Ceremonial Hall in the Central Square!" A loud voice rang out immediately, reaching everyone's ears very clearly.
Liu Ming and Xiao Wu looked at each other, said nothing, and flew towards the open-air square in Taitian Fortress.
Along the way, many monks wearing the armor of the four legions were flying in the same direction at this moment, and everyone's face was solemn.
Not long after, Liu Ming and his two men landed on a large open-air square in the center of the city, where a huge bluestone palace was located.
Liu Ming also came here once when he first came here, and soon walked into the main hall side by side with Xiao Wu and others. There were already nearly a thousand monks gathered inside.
He looked around and found that most of the disciples here were stationed here. Their cultivation levels were not high. Most of them were in the Condensation Realm. There were only a few who were in the Crystal Transformation Stage. They all had frightened eyes and were whispering.
What are you talking about.
Once the war begins, there is a high possibility that these people will be used as forward cannon fodder.
This is also what these outer sects and the punished disciples are most worried about and what they are most unable to control themselves.
