"City Lord, the many useful things obtained from the demon siege of the city and the hunting of ferocious beasts have been recorded in the book. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
In the city lord's palace, Wu Ming was at the top of the list, with Lu Zijin and Mi Luan sitting next to each other. The other six city lords were sitting at attention, and each stepped forward and handed over a jade book.
"How many casualties have been suffered by our comrades from all countries?"
Wu Ming asked solemnly without looking.
"Nearly half of the casualties were lost in the Southern Wei Dynasty, 10% in the Western Xia and Northern Jin Dynasties, and nearly 20% in the Eastern Song and Middle Tang Dynasties!"
The six people looked at each other and one of them answered.
Wu Ming keenly noticed that the deputy city lord from the middle Tang Dynasty looked a little unnatural.
It's no wonder that if it weren't for Tianshu Town, most of the elite talents of the Mid-Tang Dynasty would have been lost to Wu Ming, and they wouldn't have suffered as much loss as the Eastern Song Dynasty.
As for the casualties of Xixia and Beijin, they were not small. They suffered such losses only because the human race of the two countries declined and no demons and barbarians entered. The reason for the few casualties of Southern Wei was because its national power was not weak and its top power was not missing one.
Just a Condor Shooter.
In fact, everyone knows that if Wu Ming hadn't come here, the losses would definitely be more than this. Once the demon army breaks through the city, it would be lucky to survive, let alone just a loss!
"The belongings of all casualties must not be touched privately. They will be registered in a register. The spoils will be distributed according to three times the merit of the survivors. Afterwards, they will be jointly supervised by us. The deputy city lord of the subject country will entrust them to their respective forces. The treasures must be returned.
We must not let the dead die with eyes closed and the living be heartbroken!"
Wu Ming solemnly.
"Your Majesty is very righteous, we will complete it strictly and don't dare to make any omissions!"
The six of them were slightly startled, then stood up and bowed sincerely.
According to what they thought, although the losses in this battle were not small, the materials obtained from thousands of similar ethnic groups were enough to equip the military with standard equipment, which was an indispensable and important material for any country.
But Wu Ming not only did not take anything, but also strictly divided various distribution plans, so that neither the living nor the deceased could fault them.
No wonder he was given a valuable relic by a holy monk. His character alone is enough to be respected.
"Um!"
Wu Ming nodded with satisfaction, took the jade book and flipped through it.
Although I was mentally prepared, when I saw the numbers recorded inside, my pupils still shrank and I couldn't help but take a breath.
Millions of ferocious beasts besieged the city, and at least nearly half of it was destroyed. The countless fur, flesh, bones, demon pills, etc. left behind were enough to pile up a large mountain.
If the same kind of refining materials are refined together to create standard equipment and cooperate with the military formation, the power exerted can be doubled, and to a certain extent, it can even affect the national power.
Everyone clenched their hands involuntarily. Although Wu Ming had promised not to take anything away from him, and he only took the magic elixir from the emperor-level demon, no one could guarantee that he would not be tempted in the face of such a massive amount of treasures.
You know, they may not have any use for, or even despise, this level of material refining, but the credit they bring back is enough to exchange for a massive amount of resources.
Fortunately, Wu Ming had no intention of doing so. He was just thinking about how to accumulate prestige. Now that he had saved the geniuses from all over the city and gained face, he naturally wanted to maximize his profits.
"Everyone, although the crisis in Tianshu Town has been resolved, if nothing unexpected happens, the situation in the other six cities may not be much better. I cannot ask you to go to the rescue, but I want to go there. If possible, please
Everyone, please give me some of the remaining high-level talismans!"
Wu Mingdao.
"What?"
The six people were taken aback and didn't know what to say at all.
If Wu Ming wanted to seize the opportunity to get some high-end talismans, although those things were precious, if Wu Ming had not helped afterwards, he would have become a laughing stock in China, and everyone would reviled him. The reputation he had accumulated before would be gone overnight, and the loss would be huge.
But are there really people in this world who work hard for others regardless of life and death?
"To be honest with you, when the holy monk gave me the relics, it was not for me, but to find a successor. Now, after many years, I have not found a suitable person. Now, at the time when the demons are invading Qianlongyuan, the genius of the human race in China is in danger.
, I think the holy monk is alive in heaven, so he won’t mind if I use my relics here!”
Wu Ming explained with a wry smile, secretly talking about Amitabha, Xuanbei, don't mind this, anyway, Buddhism promotes the slaying of demons, so it is appropriate to use his name.
Everyone suddenly understood, but they were also surprised that Wu Ming dared to take risks alone. After all, not everyone dared to do this, even if he had the relics of the Holy Buddha to protect him.
"Your Majesty is righteous!"
Speaking of which, they had no choice but to accept it. After all, they didn't want any benefits.
Compared to the vast amounts of ferocious beast materials, mere high-level talismans are really nothing.
"Cousin, I'll go with you!"
After the six deputy city lords left, Lu Zijin said.
"I have a reason to go, and...if I go to other strongholds, I may not be able to get the city lord's order!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Nowadays, the ferocious beast groups in the upper levels of Qianlongyuan are either out in force, or their vitality is severely damaged, and their nests are empty. You were running around for my business before, and you didn't collect it properly..."
"I don't need it!"
Lu Zijin said stubbornly.
Wu Ming smiled bitterly and turned his eyes to Mi Luan. Unexpectedly, the latter had already turned away his head and didn't look at it. The old god was drinking tea.
"Obey, when I leave Tianshui Town, I will give up the command. I need you to take charge of the command so that I have no worries!"
Wu Ming said with a straight face.
"Sister Mi, it's okay!"
Lu Zijin smiled sweetly.
"cough!"
Wu Minghao couldn't hold back his breath.
When she's useless, she's like a worm, and when she's asking for help, she's like a sister. When did this girl learn this trick?
"No time!"
Fortunately, Mi Luan did not disappoint him this time, and said bluntly, "We have all the things we need to find this time. I'm going to go to the lower level while the demons are sieging the city!"
After saying that, he directly took out the deputy order, erased the brand of divine consciousness on it, and threw it back to Wu Ming. Obviously, it was impossible to go with him.
"cousin!"
Lu Zijin's face fell, and his beautiful eyes were full of pleading.
"Too dangerous!"
Wu Ming did not relent, and refused again. Looking at Lu Zijin's disappointed look, he couldn't bear to say, "After this trip is over, I will go to the south to see you, and by the way... pay a visit to... that person!"
"really?"
Lu Zijin said happily.
"really!"
Wu Ming nodded heavily.
Now, it's time to meet that person and understand what happened back then.
Although he has always wanted to escape from the vortex of the holy way, no matter how hard he tried in the past five years, Wu Ming has never been able to escape its influence. There are more and more enemies. Even though there are factors that he deliberately did, since he has inherited the cause and effect, he must do something
It's over.
But neither of them expected that the series of events after leaving Qianlongyuan were completely beyond their control.
Of course, this is a story for another day.
After appeasing Lu Zijin, Wu Ming had nothing to do, so he went into seclusion for a short time. In fact, he handed over the magic pill to the lotus lantern for refining.
The Tianshu Town defense formation was severely damaged. Although it could repair itself, the process was not fast. It would take ten and a half days to rush to other strongholds and towns, and the day lilies would be cold by then.
Of course Wu Ming would not waste time on this. Instead, he would wait for the formation to recover to a certain level and then exercise the privilege of the city lord's order to mobilize the only teleportation formation in the city.
"Ah...what the hell is this..."
Wu Ming was alone, sitting in the secret room of the city lord's palace. Miserable wails could be heard in the sea of consciousness. Eleven magic pills shrouded in black flames were suspended above the lamp flames, like steaming mist, which dimmed almost in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it, how could there be such power in the Hidden Dragon Abyss? Didn't the Demon Lord say that it is impossible for the power of the Holy Way to appear here? Why is there such a power that transcends the power of the Holy Way?"
"That is the demon blood fetus refined by our clan's secret technique, and only the noble imperial clan is qualified to use it... Ah, who are you..."
There were a few demonic thoughts that couldn't bear it and they asked sternly.
"Interesting, which clan of demons from outside the world are you from?"
Wu Mingdao.
"Ants are worthy of...ah!"
Before the demon thought could finish speaking, he screamed.
"Be honest, I can consider giving you a happy experience, otherwise... just enjoy it slowly!"
Wu Ming said coldly.
"Jiejie, don't waste your efforts. We are just distracted by the demonic thoughts. Although the losses are heavy, we will faithfully obey the demon king for everything here. You will just wait to die!"
The demonic ape's demonic thoughts roared strangely.
"Hmph, I don't know what the so-called things are. Do you really think your body can sense what's going on here?"
Seeing the slight change in Wu Ming's expression and the presence of Old God Ku Ye, he snorted disdainfully.
"Holy Soul of the human race, you broke your promise and dared to use the saint's distraction to set a trap. You will die a good death!"
Several demonic thoughts shouted harshly.
"What?"
Wu Ming's heart trembled, and he asked sternly, "Are you saying that all this is led by the saints of the human race? What kind of deal do you have with your demon race?"
"Jie Jie, you ignorant ants, you are just abandoned pieces, just pawns thrown out in the game of saints. Didn't he tell you?"
The demon ape laughed strangely, and the last one he said was naturally Ku Ye.
"Tell me, what are you planning? Are you using me to deal with such a powerful demon?"
Wu Ming suddenly looked at Ku Ye and said coldly and sternly.
"The demons are talking nonsense to deceive your mind. I am a member of the holy temples and have a high status. I am devoted to the human race. How can I deceive you, a junior?"
Kuye said solemnly.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Having been around Wu Ming for a long time, Ku Ye knew very well that this guy was a very sinister and evil spirit. He could talk to people and talk to ghosts. It was just basic skills, so he naturally cooperated fully.
"Hahaha, old guy, that's nonsense!"
The demon ape didn't know he was fooled, and thought he had instigated an internal conflict between the two, but he never thought that a mere innate would dare to challenge the Holy Soul?
"The devil is seeking death!"
Ku Ye looked like he was getting angry from shame, and his holy soul flashed.
"Hmph, you want to kill people and silence them?"
Wu Ming's soul flashed, blocking his way, and said sternly, "Don't forget, this treasure is the treasure passed down by the Wang family, and it is enough to burn the holy soul. You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I don't mind letting you taste the soul-burning treasure."
bitter!"
"You...you actually believe in demons and don't believe in me?"
Ku Ye also seemed to be really angry.
In the eyes of all the demonic thoughts, it was nothing more than a fierce look but a lust inside. They started making noises one after another. (To be continued)
