This is a red alert message. Once such a message is sent, something big will happen.
I took a deep breath, opened the message and looked at it carefully. After a while, I whispered to Feng Chaoyue: "We must rush back to the First Beacon Tower one step ahead."
Feng Chaoyue asked: "Bad news?"
I nodded and said: "Shanhaiguan was attacked by a dragon species from the deep sea. Fifty thousand exorcist warriors died on the spot. Four flag commanders died fighting hard."
"Shanhai Pass has been lost."
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Feng Chaoyue was stunned and his face changed drastically.
Shanhaiguan is the first pass of the Great Wall and an important part of the Great Wall's defense line.
Because of the dangerous terrain and the need to guard against evil spirits from the north and demons from the sea, Xu Jianqin, the commander-in-chief of the Ping Demon Army, took charge here after returning from Changbai Mountain.
As the war situation changed, demons and demons moved south one after another. The vanguard troops had already started a small-scale siege near the Great Wall defense line, trying to cross the defense line and go south directly into the colorful world of the living.
However, Xu Jianqin's command was good, and the evil spirits from the Ten Thousand Demons' Pit were unable to find relief at all, and were defeated one after another.
This is a solid defense line that China has tried its best to build. It has sufficient supplies, a large number of manpower, natural dangers to defend, and experts to guard it.
Even if it takes a year and a half, it will not be broken by evil spirits!
But no one could have imagined that the threat would come from the sea!
Just when the Ping Demon Army was dealing with the evil spirits of Ten Thousand Demons, an old dragon led ten thousand giant dragons to wind up and attack directly into the hinterland of Shanhaiguan.
Following behind them were the Corpse King from the deep sea, the Crab King as big as a truck, and Grandma Shark, who was constantly swimming in the sea.
Countless demons and monsters swarmed in like a chaotic dance of demons, drowning the entire Shanhaiguan in an instant.
When Xu Jianqin realized that something was wrong, he ordered a counterattack without hesitation. The 50,000 exorcist soldiers guarding Shanhaiguan launched a fierce counterattack without hesitation.
But the Shadow Demon from the Sky Domain took the opportunity to appear at this moment, attacking from both inside and outside, and the entire Shanhaiguan instantly fell into chaos.
In that battle, the blood flowed all over the ground, and the remaining souls filled the sky. The 50,000 soldiers of the Ping Demon Army showed great courage. Facing 100,000 ghost soldiers and 100,000 spirits, they managed to hold on all night!
Because of the desperate resistance of the Ping Demon Army, the Shadow Demon even personally killed the two leading demons and ordered a hundred thousand ghost soldiers to kill anyone who dared to take a step back.
Under the internal and external attacks of ghost soldiers and deep-sea monsters, at dawn, the two power stations in Shanhaiguan finally fell. Without energy support, the exorcism runes on the city wall finally went out.
It was at this time that Shadow Demon personally led a team of elites to attack the city wall, and finally occupied a place on the city wall with all his strength.
Xu Jianqin was also a ruthless man. Seeing that the reinforcements were delayed and Shanhaiguan was about to be breached, he resolutely ordered the entire army to fight to the death.
The two sides fought fiercely against the city wall. The corpses of crabs, sharks, and deep-sea dragons were scattered everywhere, almost submerging the entire pass.
At the end of the battle, the incendiary bombs were used up, the rune sabers were chopped down, and all kinds of modified artillery shells were used up. Of the 50,000 exorcist soldiers, less than a thousand were left.
They guarded the highest position in Shanhaiguan, with the red flag still fluttering in the wind.
In fact, if Xu Jianqin wanted to escape at this time, he could still do it. The five flag commanders under his command also advised him to break out of the encirclement and use exorcist methods. As long as he was not intercepted by evil masters, leaving Shanhaiguan was not that difficult.
But Xu Jianqin said: "As the guard general of Shanhaiguan, I have the responsibility to defend the territory. I cannot take a step back without receiving the order to retreat!"
Then he picked up his pen and wrote a battlefield report calmly and calmly on the battlefield.
This battlefield report records all the detailed information about the fall of Shanhaiguan, including the combat effectiveness of the deep sea dragon species, the number of spirits launched by the Crab King and the Mermaid, and the assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Deep Sea Corpse King.
Then I wrote down some of the most effective methods against evil spirits, including how to use sniper rifles and flamethrowers.
He recorded all these things on a USB flash drive, sent a flag commander and five exorcists who knew how to shrink to an inch, and ordered him to submit the battlefield report to the headquarters of the Special Case Division.
Every piece of information recorded here was exchanged for the lives of 50,000 demon soldiers.
After finishing his work, Xu Jianqin picked up his peach wood sword and joined the battlefield without hesitation.
In that battle, the commander of the Ping Demon Army, Xu Jianqin, died in battle. Accompanying him in the battle were four banner commanders from all over the Middle-Earth and 50,317 exorcist soldiers.
In Shanhaiguan, except for the ninth flag commander who conveyed the order and his five exorcism masters, no one survived.
But their desperate efforts before death resulted in the death of 130,000 ghost soldiers and sea spirits.
Xu Jianqin even sacrificed his own life to kill the crab king from the deep sea, and seriously injured Grandma Shark, who was known as the overlord of the sea.
However, the insidious and cunning Dragon King of the Deep Sea found an opportunity and took one bite, swallowing Xu Jianqin with his sword in his belly, leaving no trace of his body!
When the news came out, the whole country was shocked.
From then on, the Heavenly Demon Army and the Deep Sea Dragon Seed firmly guarded the natural barrier of Shanhaiguan. In front of them, there was a prosperous and rich world of flowers and flowers.
As long as they are willing, they may march straight in at any time and wreak havoc on Middle-earth!
In order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, Jiang Shaoyang's troops, who were the first to arrive in a hurry, took advantage of the unstable foothold of the demons and evil spirits to retake Shanhaiguan.
However, he had a small army and few generals, and because he was lightly armed and simple, he did not carry enough weapons and equipment. The two sides fought a battle outside Shanhaiguan, and they were only killed in darkness, with no light from the sun or the moon.
Thirty thousand exorcist soldiers under Jiang Shaoyang fought from morning to night, suffering heavy losses but with little effect. Even the First Banner Yangtze River Shaoyang personally went into battle and was reduced to a bloody gourd.
However, Shanhaiguan remained unmoving and as stable as Mount Tai despite being in the hands of demons and evil spirits.
At night, Jiang Shaoyang finally admitted that his current strength was not enough to recapture Shanhaiguan, so he retreated thirty miles and built a second line of defense relying on Jieshi Mountain.
At the same time, he called the First Beacon Tower and asked for reinforcements to recapture Shanhaiguan.
Behind the intelligence I received, there was an urgent order from the headquarters of the Special Case Division. It said that all exorcists in China who are not on duty must rush to the Jieshi Mountain area to reinforce Jiang Shaoyang's headquarters if they get the news.
In addition, the First Beacon Tower also dispatched Deng Bochuan, commander of the Zhenbei Army, who must mobilize all his troops within three days and rush to Shanhaiguan to take charge of the overall situation!
I slowly closed the battle report, feeling heavy in my heart.
Xu Jianqin is dead.
To be honest, I don't have a good impression of Xu Jianqin. When he kept targeting Yu Buren, I secretly made up my mind that as long as I became more capable, I would definitely help Third Brother Yu teach Xu Jianqin a lesson.
But he died fighting for China, but he was truly an admirable hero.
I don’t know why, but after I got the news of his death, I had a very strange feeling in my heart. Sad? Regretful? Or admirable?
Xu Jianqin was the highest-ranking exorcist who died in battle since the Battle of Life and Death, and was also the first commander of the five exorcist corps to die in battle.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning. As long as the war continues, everyone may lose their souls and never be reincarnated.
I took a deep breath and said: "Your Excellency Dong Wang, I have to go to Shanhaiguan! I will pass on the news about the alliance. As long as you arrive at the first beacon tower, there will be a dedicated person to receive you!"
Feng Chaoyue said: "Mr. Zhang Wuxin, it may not be useful for you to rush to Shanhaiguan now. Deng Bochuan's exorcist soldiers will take three days at the earliest to reach the battlefield."
I shook my head and said, "No, I have to go there right away!"
Feng Chaoyue didn't know that compared to Shanhaiguan, I cared more about Zhang Wuren!
You must know that when I was on my mission to the Kingdom of Ghosts, Zhang Wuren should have arrived in the deep sea and persuaded the Dragon King of the Deep Sea to stand on the side of the living and jointly resist the Ten Thousand Demons Pit.
But so much time has passed, not only has there been no news from Zhang Wuren, but the Dragon King of the Deep Sea also brazenly led the evil spirits in the sea to launch a shameless sneak attack on Shanhaiguan.
What happened in the deep sea? So that the Dragon King of the Deep Sea actually joined forces with the Ten Thousand Demons Pit to invade Middle-earth?
Where is Zhang Wuren? What happened to him? Why couldn't he even deliver the news?
Even though I know that Zhang Wuren is extremely powerful, I can't help but worry about him. This incident is so abnormal. I must rush to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible to find out what happened!
Nothing can happen to Zhang Wuren!
Seeing that I had made up my mind, Feng Chaoyue nodded slightly and said: "If you want to go, you must have your own reasons for going. I will take care of the alliance, so don't worry!"
I hummed and said, "In that case, it's all down to you. It's an emergency, I'll leave right away!"
The previous vehicle was still parked in the wilderness. I identified the direction, used the Shrinking Technique, and found the modified Jeep more than an hour later.
After getting on the bus, I turned around and headed east without hesitation. I ran all the way. After arriving in Golmud, I used my identity to find the local military airport and boarded a transport plane heading east.
This transport plane was transporting military supplies, each of which was sealed in wooden boxes. It was not clear what was inside.
The two pilots were of high military rank, one was in his forties and the other was only in his twenties. It was obvious that the veteran pilot was guiding the newbies.
I was so preoccupied that I didn't answer them. After entering my seat, I closed my eyes and rested my mind, preparing to take a good rest.
Shanhaiguan is already in chaos and is about to become the cusp of a storm.
If I hadn't found Zhang Wuren, I probably would have had to kill him all the way. I want to ask the Dragon King of the Deep Sea what happened to my old Zhang!
