I walked through the square, repaired my equipment, and then teleported directly to the imperial capital, Xingqi City. It was time to check out the situation on Qingluan Peak, but the moment I walked out of the teleportation array, a thunder dragon in the distance was filled with thunder and lightning.
Crouching in front of the imperial garden, beside the thunder dragon was a dragon knight wearing purple armor. He quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "The dragon knight is so powerful. See you, sir!"
"oh!"
I nodded: "Is something wrong?"
"Your Majesty has been summoning you for a long time. He is waiting for you in the main hall!"
"Okay, take me there."
"yes!"
Entering the main hall, Queen Lu Ning was sitting on the throne of Emperor Xia, looking more and more royal. Lin Xingchu, Luo Qingyi and other civil and military officials were on both sides. In the center, there was a huge sand table filled with small flags.
, there are countless blue flags representing the Xia clan and red flags of the Purgatory Legion.
"Ding Muchen is here."
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly and said: "Now, Your Majesty can make the decision."
"Um."
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Ding Muchen, I think you already know the content of the letter sent by Master Yuechi from Dragon Territory, right?"
"Yes."
I nodded: "Dance of Death Yunqiong has assembled an army of the dead in the northern region, and his purpose may be far beyond just forming an army of the dead."
"I think so too." Lu Ning's beautiful eyes were calm and intimidating, and he smiled: "In the land of Xia Clan, for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it can be said that there have been many heroes, including several sword masters.
, there are also some strong human beings with extraordinary strength. After their death, most of their bodies were buried in the same place."
"Where?" I was surprised.
"Heroes Cemetery."
Lu Ning pursed her red lips and said: "It is also called the Heroes Cemetery. This Heroes Cemetery is located to the north of the Xia Clan Imperial Tomb, twenty miles west of Xingqi City, and less than ten miles away from Qingfengguan.
I am worried that the heroic spirits of the former emperors will be disturbed, and I am even more worried that the powerful ancestors of the human race sleeping in the Heroes Cemetery will be awakened again and become our enemies, so the Heroes Cemetery must be heavily guarded!"
I thought about it, clasped my fists and said, "Dragon cavalry formation has unshirkable responsibility. Please give the order, Your Majesty!"
"no!"
Qianbai took a step forward and said: "Queen, guarding the imperial mausoleum is originally the responsibility of the Forbidden Army and the Royal Forest Army. If this important task is given to the Dragon Territory Army, what will the Forbidden Army and the Royal Forest Army do? I am one of the commanders of the four palaces.
First, I am willing to personally lead the elite troops to guard the Heroes Cemetery and surround it with water. Even if Yun Qiong has wings, he will never be able to enter the cemetery!"
Lin Xingchu frowned slightly: "Qian Shuai, this seems not to be a time to grab credit, but a time to see who has the strength to guard the hero's cemetery. Are you sure that the Forbidden Army has the strength to suppress a powerful king of the Purgatory Legion?"
"this……"
Qianbai gritted his teeth.
I frowned: "Your Majesty, the dragon cavalry formation must be involved in this matter. I have seen the strength of Yun Qiong. Ordinary soldiers are just willing to die and cannot resist at all."
"You alone have seen Yun Qiong's strength?"
Tianmu Gong Xiyang couldn't help but sneer: "A mere traveler, I'm afraid you were killed the moment you met Yun Qiong? If it weren't for the advantage that travelers from other worlds can resurrect, how could you stand on
Are you talking here?"
I glanced at him coldly: "Tianmu Gong, what you want to think is up to you, but I have indeed seen Yun Qiong's strength. At the same time, I don't want those ancient strong men in the Heroes Cemetery to be awakened, otherwise
If so, I won’t bother to send a dragon cavalry formation to guard it!”
"snort!"
Qianbai said lightly: "I have selected 200 Templar masters from the temple to join the Forbidden Army, plus the inscribed demon-killing arrows and dragon-hunting crossbows. With them here, even if Yun Qiong comes and
What can we do? Your Majesty, my subordinates request that this important task be handed over to the Forbidden Army. Our hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Forbidden Army will definitely complete the mission!"
Luo Qingyi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Qian Shuai, with all due respect, the two hundred Templar Knights under your command can't even stop me, and you still want to stop the king Yun Qiong? You look down on the strength of the Northern Purgatory Legion.
Alright?"
"Princess Qingyi, what do you mean?"
"It's boring!"
Lin Xingchu couldn't stand it anymore. He bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter must not be done lightly. The Heroes' Cemetery and the Xia Clan Imperial Mausoleum are the foundation of our Xia Clan. Those who serve the Xia Clan
The strong men who sacrificed their lives for the prosperity of generations must not be blasphemed. I ask for your majesty’s permission to arrange a killing array in the Heroes’ Cemetery and guard it with heavy troops, waiting for the sky!”
"Um!"
Lu Ning slowly stood up and said: "What Mr. Xing Chu said is very much in line with my wishes. Hereby order, I ordered Mr. Xing Chu to lead the White Deer City's elite warlock army to set up formations, and ordered Palace Commander Qian Bai to lead one hundred thousand elite forbidden troops to settle in the Heroes' Cemetery.
, the Xia clan imperial mausoleum must be guarded with all our strength, and Ding Muchen is ordered to lead the dragon cavalry formation and the dragon domain cavalry to station and patrol outside the hero's cemetery to fight against invading enemies at any time!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A group of people bowed their heads.
I frowned. Lu Ning, the Xia Emperor, was really becoming more and more skilled. He inadvertently balanced the disputes between several forces, and let the Forbidden Army and Long Domain participate in the defense of the Heroes Cemetery. It can be said that it was quite a feat.
That's all.
…
At night, the bright moon is in the sky.
The moonlight fell on the Heroes Cemetery, shining brightly on the tombstones several meters high, which were covered with inscriptions. I took Xia Chuan and Chang Wei, the two dragon knights, out of the center of the cemetery. There were people everywhere along the way.
The Royal Forest Army and the Forbidden Army soldiers have set up a tough battle in the open space, and many formations of spiritual stones and artillery have been placed around them. The defense is quite tight.
On both sides of the road, stone sculptures nearly ten meters high stand. There are warriors holding long swords, spiritualists waving staffs, and some extraordinary warriors riding war horses.
Changwei said quietly: "Everyone who can erect a statue in the Heroes Cemetery is a person who dominated the ups and downs of the continent at that time. Over the past ten thousand years, there have only been about a dozen people who can erect statues here."
Xia Chuan nodded: "Well, these are all human heroes who deserve respect... Sir, is Yun Qiong really that powerful? Can he summon the dead? Can he enslave even the souls of the peak human beings?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
I frowned and said, "But I have seen Yun Qiong enslave the super generals in Mengzhong Ancient City. Those generals are so brave and invincible that they can chop me away with just one axe."
"Sigh..."
Xia Chuan took a breath: "That's really awesome!"
…
Walking out of the Heroes Cemetery, about five hundred meters away, the Dragon Knights' camp arrived. A group of people stood under the starlight, looking at me with stern eyes, while Xia Chuan began to make arrangements: "Keep ten dragon knights here at every moment.
With the defensive strength hovering in the sky and everyone taking turns to rest, the night will be quite long."
I nodded, stepped into the big tent, sat down on the coach's chair politely, and then opened the arena system. Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I would take advantage of this time to play in the arena and warm up my hands.
In fact, the individual's state is unstable. When the state is good, he beats the king, and when the state is bad, he is beaten by diamonds and becomes a fool. This is a common thing.
After playing more than a dozen competitive games, suddenly, a countdown appeared in the upper right corner of the game interface——
00:25:42
…
Twenty-five minute countdown, what does it mean!?
I was slightly startled. Could it be...the countdown to the Heroes Cemetery?!
He immediately pulled out the Big Dipper Sword and rushed out of the camp, shouting: "Be alert, this place may be attacked during this period!"
Xia Chuan held the dragon sword and looked at the fish belly white in the east: "Sir, it's almost dawn. Are you saying... is it possible that Yun Qiong will launch an attack on the Heroes Cemetery during the day?"
"perhaps!"
"Yes, be on full alert and prepare to fight!"
Riding his horse and raising his sword, he galloped into the cemetery, came straight to Lin Xingchu's tent, and walked straight in.
"Ding Muchen, what's wrong?" She was drinking tea.
"After one stick of incense, this place may be attacked." I said.
"You...how did you know?" She was surprised.
I stepped forward and stared into her eyes: "Because I am an adventurer from another world as you call me. I can understand some things that you cannot understand. Mr. Xingchu, is this explanation satisfactory?"
"I'm pretty satisfied..."
Lin Xingchu immediately put down the tea cup, grabbed his sword and walked out of the camp, loudly saying: "Send the order, the three armies are on alert!"
For a time, the entire Heroes' Cemetery and the Imperial Tomb were filled with a solemn atmosphere. Everyone unsheathed their swords, and all the archers drew their arrows, looking at the surrounding plants and trees with wide eyes.
…
Time is passing bit by bit, and the countdown is getting closer and closer.
In the sky, wisps of regular light flickered. The formation ordered by Lin Xingchu had been completed, forming a spherical shield over the Heroes Cemetery to protect the cemetery from attack.
Luo Qingyi's eyes were dark: "Will he come? If Yun Qiong really dares to come, he should have already appeared. I can feel the evil power..."
"There are dragon knights guarding the sky, but the news never came."
I nodded, looked at the soil and grass under my feet, and couldn't help but tremble suddenly: "Could it come from underground?!"
"this……"
Sure enough, bursts of roaring sounds came from the ground, and Lin Xingchu, with a pair of beautiful eyes showing calmness, shouted loudly: "Spread out, prepare to activate the killing array, no matter what it is, we must defend the Heroes Cemetery!"
Everyone dispersed.
And at the next moment, there was a loud "Peng" sound, and a dark giant beast broke out of the ground. Its head was extremely ferocious, and its body was twisted, like a python covered with hard and sharp scales. As soon as such a huge beast appeared, it suddenly opened.
Opening the big mouth, black air flowed out, forming a black hole and sucking in dozens of White Deer Cavalry.
"It's a wild snake, be careful!"
Lin Xingchu, Luo Qingyi and other human masters drew their swords one after another.
