Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh soldiers approaching the city, all parties concerned
Chapter 287: The troops are approaching and all parties are paying attention
Yao Yun only thought about the other two cities of Sun State. Even if Mo State and Shanyuan State were unable to survive and withdraw from Sun State's territory, Xi State would not be able to extend its hands outside Xi State to compete for other cities.
Licheng was a fiefdom awarded by the emperor for Yao Yun's great achievements. The nearby neighboring countries were jealous and could not get their hands on Licheng. However, other cities in the Sun Kingdom were different. They were unclaimed lands and only those with strength could live there.
The Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom are the vassal states second only to the Izumo Kingdom, and they are indeed quite powerful. If neither of these two countries can take over, they will eventually fall into the hands of the Chu Kingdom or the Izumo Kingdom.
Yao Yun even suspected that the Chu State, the Izumo State, and the Kongming Ghost Realm were involved in shady activities, and that they were conspiring to plunder and carve up the Sun State.
If he hadn't come out of nowhere and disrupted the situation, in a year and a half, the entire Sun Kingdom would have been annexed by two countries. Even the Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom would have been dragged down, and the national power would have declined greatly, which would have triggered a series of
dire consequences.
As he thought about it, Yao Yun felt a chill in his body.
In the past, he was protected by his ancestors. As long as he lived in a corner of Xidu, other countries would generally not attack Xidu for the sake of being a direct descendant of the Xi family.
The second elder, Wu Tong, told him that the struggle for hegemony among the eight hundred princes of the Xia Dynasty was bloody and cruel, and there was constant hostility among the various kingdoms of the Xia Dynasty. One of the princely countries not only had to face the threat of external barbarians, but also had to be wary of neighboring countries.
Yao Yun had no idea before, but when he left Xidu and settled in Licheng, a clear and realistic world slowly unfolded in front of him.
With a deep understanding of this world, Yao Yun manages his territory more carefully.
In the next few days, things were calm in Licheng. During the day, the people were busy building their homes, and at night, the ghosts worked diligently. Everything went smoothly.
One night, the ghosts were still working diligently.
On the outskirts of Licheng, a black mist rolled in, filled with ghostly aura. Tens of thousands of ghosts and monsters shuttled among the mountains and vegetation. Under the invasion of the strong ghostly aura, many plants and trees on the road withered to death on the spot.
Among the army of ghosts, there are little ghosts carrying Luan chariots.
On the Luan Car, three highly cultivated ghost kings, Dama Jindao, sat down respectively. The one in the middle was the Tian Lei Ghost King with an elegant and easy-going appearance.
On the left hand side of the Heavenly Thunder Ghost King is a burly bull-headed ghost king, known for his strength; on the right side is a green tree demon ghost king. In front of this ghost king is a big demon. After death, he also dominates the area. He is extremely powerful.
.
The Minotaur Ghost King said: "Brother Tianlei, is the Izumo Kingdom really willing to offer us ten ghost stones?"
The Thunder Ghost King glanced at him and said: "That's wrong, each of us can take ten ghost stones, a total of thirty ghost stones. Of course, I have to take more, twelve ghost stones. This is not an exaggeration, right?"
!”
The Bull-headed Ghost King shook his head honestly: "It should be, it should be, I can think of Lao Niu, Lao Niu is very grateful, it's not too much for you to take an extra piece!"
The Dryad Ghost King stared closely at the Sky Thunder Ghost King, but he didn't find anything. Hearing that the Sky Thunder Ghost King asked for more benefits, he relaxed a little, and secretly thought that the Sky Thunder Ghost King was quite honest about being a ghost.
After the "dividing the spoils" was agreed upon, the three ghost kings had nothing to talk about. After the Minotaur Ghost King roared, "Hurry up!", the little ghosts were frightened and frightened, and quickened their pace to kill the general from the city.
Soon, the three ghost kings came to the city with tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and ghost generals.
The army of ghosts had not invaded Li City for several days. Li Cheng did not relax his vigilance because of this. Instead, he became more vigilant and sent out ghost scouts from afar. When the ghostly wind and ghostly aura stirred up by the army of ghosts approached, Xidu's army of ghosts had already been prepared.
Prepare to defend against the enemy.
Yao Yun, who was practicing in the palace, immediately learned the news through [Ten Thousand Ghosts Come to Chao Banner], so he immediately ended his practice, ordered people to beat the war drums, and summoned the army to join the battle.
At the same time, Yao Yun led a group of masters from the Xi Kingdom to the city wall, and even Liusu was present.
Liusu looked at the rolling clouds of ghost energy on the horizon and said to Yao Yun: "Your Majesty, this time the army of ghosts is coming fiercely. A ghost king with a third-level cultivation level personally led his troops. I don't know how many ghost kings they are."
Yao Yun nodded: "Well, if the other party has more than one ghost king, I'll leave it to you, Liusu, to help Gu contain one ghost king."
The Ghost King is attacking, and now Yao Yun has no other choice but to ask Liusu for help.
Liusu smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, we are allies, so naturally we have to help each other. Besides, with our friendship, even if you don't tell me, the slave family will also help!"
"It's me who's cheating." Yao Yun grinned.
While they were talking and laughing, the army of ghosts was already approaching the city.
There was no formation call, and there was no conversation between kings and kings. The army of ghosts had not yet approached. Arrows rained down from the walls of Xidu City, flying out and disappearing into the ghost mist. The ghosts they shot screamed.
The Heavenly Thunder Ghost King and the other two ghost kings were secretly surprised when they saw that Li City was heavily guarded and acted decisively. They had attacked many human cities in the country and this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Not saying hello, just getting started without saying anything. This is not in line with the style of the Xia Dynasty, a country with etiquette. This is simply more barbarian than a barbarian.
The elegant and easy-going Sky Thunder Ghost King felt very contemptuous. He was indeed a southern barbarian, but he just didn't know the etiquette and didn't know how to inform his family before going to war?
"I am the Sky Thunder Ghost King of Kongming Ghost Realm. You, Li City, dare to enslave my ghosts and descendants. You are bullying others too much. Today I will lead an army to attack you. Who is the master of Li City? Come out and speak!"
Yao Yun has fought with ghosts so many times, but this is the first time he encountered the ghost that informed his family. He has excellent eyesight and can see at night. He saw an elegant humanoid ghost from a distance. Looking at the aura, he seemed to be the ghost king.
A master of the same level, behind him, there are two ghosts standing side by side, with similar status, they seem to be ghost kings too!
The three-headed ghost king!
Yao Yun was greatly shocked, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. If there were three ghost kings, he would still be able to fight, but if there were more, it would be difficult to resist them.
Yao Yun did not answer the Ghost King. He was not that stupid. With his cultivation level and self-destruction, the Ghost Kings would definitely be chasing him the next moment. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
So Yao Yun signaled Cang Man not to talk nonsense and just fight.
Cang Man understood what the king meant, so he shouted loudly: "Little devils dare to make mistakes. If you have the ability, you attack them, and I, the general, will kill you all!"
The three ghost kings were furious when they heard this. They raised their arms and shouted: "Children, come to this king. Everyone who conquers Li City will be rewarded. You can eat people until you are full!"
When the ghosts heard this, their eyes immediately turned red, and they howled and rushed towards Licheng.
.....
The battle in Licheng was about to break out, and there was a group of people on the outskirts of Licheng who were paying close attention to the battle.
Among these people were spies from other countries such as Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom, monsters from the mountains, and of course the initiators, General Amber and Kuroba from Izumo Kingdom.
