A Jianing Pass defender was punched by a strong man from the Black Stone Tribe's Witch Tribe and sent flying backwards. The punch hit his chest, instantly shattering his heart.
After vomiting several mouthfuls of blood mixed with internal organ fragments, the soldier from the Shangjing City Defense Army finally dropped his head feebly and no longer breathed.
The faint black mist has completely enveloped the entire battlefield, and wisps of black mist came from the air and silently penetrated into the body of the soldier who was lying in a pool of blood.
After a while, no one noticed that a finger of this already dead body trembled slightly.
Then, his body stood up unsteadily, and then he rushed towards the defender closest to him.
There was no weapon in his hand, so the corpse stood up and bit the defender directly in the face.
The shrill howl did not cause a single ripple in the chaotic battlefield. The soldier, who had a large piece of his face bitten off, looked at his former teammates with horror on his face, but the latter took another bite without hesitation.
Bite down.
The archers on the city wall were trembling as they looked at the middle of the battlefield. In their sight, the corpses that were supposed to be dead all came to life at this moment.
These living corpses include our own soldiers, as well as strong men from the Witch Clan of the Black Stone Tribe. They kill everyone they see without distinguishing between friend and foe. If they have weapons in their hands, they use them. If they don’t have weapons, they just grab them with their hands and bite them with their teeth.
Bloody to the extreme.
Gradually, everyone who was immersed in the killings on the battlefield also discovered this strange scene.
In addition to being frightened, shocked, and confused, some people also tried to deal with these dead bodies.
As a result, they were horrified to find that although the strength of these resurrected monsters was far less than before their lives, only about 50% of their original strength, they were unkillable.
Yes, it can’t be killed!
No matter whether you pierce the opponent's heart, cut it in half, or even cut off its head, you can't kill these monsters.
When they came to their senses and wanted to retreat, the entire battlefield was shrouded in a layer of black mist. Not only was their vision severely obstructed, but their strength was also greatly suppressed.
Not only that, when they tried to escape in one direction, they found that the area shrouded in black mist seemed endless and impossible to escape.
The battle between the Huajian Kingdom defenders and the powerful wizards of the Black Stone Tribe finally came to a halt under this strange environment.
Because they discovered that for every additional person who died, there would be one more monster that came back from the dead. Moreover, the soldiers on both sides who were killed by those monsters would also be resurrected and join the ranks of the monsters.
At this time, what the archers on top of the city saw was a huge black mist that enveloped the entire battlefield, forming a hemispherical mask.
They were outside, their sight was not completely blocked by the black mist, and they could still vaguely see the bloody scenes taking place.
"vomit……"
A sound of vomiting suddenly came from somewhere, and then the sounds of vomiting were heard one after another on the city wall, and the air was filled with a pungent sour smell.
The officers, soldiers and archers who defended the city had all gone through the test of blood and fire. The broken limbs and pieces of meat in front of them only made them frown slightly. But the scene that happened in front of them was far away.
Far beyond their psychological endurance limit.
Who would have thought that a dead head with half of its head chopped off would hang on the face of a living person, viciously biting his face and flesh.
A guard soldier was actually choked by a dead man whose body was half gone, with his intestines flowing all over the floor...
Fear spreads like a virus
, was originally just a small seed. When both sides on the battlefield found that they could not escape from the black mist, the seed grew into a big tree, and panic began to boil.
When all the dust settled, the black mist slowly dissipated.
When the defenders on the city wall clearly saw the scenes on the battlefield again, they immediately started a new round of vomiting.
The original battlefield had turned into a hell on earth. The entire battlefield was completely submerged in blood and water, and no intact body could be found.
Even a complete limb could no longer be found.
Everyone on both sides of the war turned into pieces of meat, spread flat on the battlefield.
The monsters who had resurrected from the dead began to attack each other after killing all the living people. Finally, when the black mist dissipated again, it became a scene like this.
Zhao Hongzhen was tied with gauze and looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes full of complexity.
Unlike the other defenders on the city wall, he knew the identity of the man. He was one of the two innate experts from the Imperial Master's Mansion who came to support Jianing Pass with Lu Yao and others.
Zhao Hongzhen has never communicated with the two innate experts in the Imperial Master's Mansion, and those two people did not even attend the Feng Yan.
The only thing that can confirm their identity is the certificate from Lu Yao and the personal letter from His Majesty the Emperor.
His complex emotions manifested themselves in many ways.
First of all, they won this war and Jianing Pass was defended, but he, the general guarding the pass, could not be happy no matter what.
He was very clear about the previous battle situation. If this master from the Emperor's Palace did not take action, then the army sent by his side would be defeated. According to the process, what will happen next is the desperate resistance of a thousand defenders on the city wall.
, support until the battle of the innate strong is over.
And now, the battle here has even ended first. But the way it ended made it difficult for him to adapt.
Although Zhao Hongzhen didn't know the true strength of this strong man from the Imperial Master's Mansion, judging from his performance, he was at least a super strong man in the late stage of the Xiantian Yi Qi realm, or even at the peak.
Such a strong man, if he had used another method of attack, would definitely be able to wipe out all the witch masters of the Blackstone Tribe.
However, the other party did not do this. Zhao Hongzhen was frightened by the other party's methods, but he chose this cruel way to end the battle even though he could save fewer soldiers.
This alone made Zhao Hongzhen feel full of resentment towards this strong man from the Imperial Master's Palace, and he even had no good impression of the recently established Imperial Master's Palace.
Not long after, the battle between the innate strong men also ended. Fortunately, although the innate strong men on their side suffered some injuries, they all came back alive. However, the innate strong man in the Imperial Master's Mansion was nowhere to be seen.
.
But when the results of the battle reached Zhao Hongzhen's ears, this military boss who had guarded Jianing Pass for nearly twenty years was inevitably shocked again.
Five strong men from the Witch Clan, including three strong men from the Blackstone Tribe, were killed by the strong men from the Emperor's Palace who later participated in the battle. The remaining two were also besieged by the four of them.
Fall.
The strong man from the Imperial Master's Mansion left directly after the battle.
The four innate experts who returned naturally found a messy battlefield. After repeated questioning, Lu Yao, who was the commander of the Royal Guards of the Huajian Kingdom, slapped the city wall hard.
On the stack.
His palm directly smashed a piece of wall into pieces.
You must know that among the two thousand people who fought previously, the 500 imperial guards and 800 city defense troops he brought were all included. In other words, after this battle, he will directly become a
The polished commander.
He doesn't feel sorry for the 800 city defense troops;
What hurts is the 500 Imperial Guards.
The total number of guards inside and outside the palace was only a thousand. This time, half of them were lost. How could he not be itching to hate them?
"Commander Lu, what on earth is the Imperial Master's Mansion trying to do? It's so wanton and reckless. When I return to the capital this time, I will read this book carefully. On the battlefield, I'm acting so wantonly and recklessly. I really don't think of my son-in-law in Huajian as a human being."
." Zhao Hongzhen said angrily.
"Search the Emperor's Master's Mansion?" Lu Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Zhao, even if you read this memorial, it won't be useful."
Zhao Hongzhen saw that Lu Yao's expression was a little bad, and his tone became slightly calmer, but he still couldn't hide his anger: "How do you understand Commander Lu's words? Under the sky, is it the king's land? Is it the land of the king? Is it the king's ministers, just for the sake of mere mortals?"
Imperial Master's Mansion, is it possible that Your Majesty can still chill the hearts of all the soldiers?"
Lu Yao still smiled bitterly: "General Zhao has been away all year round, and he still doesn't know the changes in the situation in the capital, and he doesn't know enough about the Imperial Palace. In terms of power, the regent at the time was more powerful than Huajian, who has experienced many battles now.
It can be said that it is only strong but not weak. But wasn't the regent's final rebellion still suppressed by the imperial master Dugu Sheng? In terms of the current national strength, even if your majesty wanted to take action against the imperial master's palace, he would be powerless."
"What!" Zhao Hongzhen was slightly surprised when he heard this: "The regent's coup was really suppressed by the emperor's palace?"
"It's absolutely true!" Lu Yao nodded affirmatively: "And this time, it is His Majesty's intention that the experts from the Imperial Master's Palace participate in the battle. It can be said that the Emperor's Palace's willingness to send people to support has given His Majesty face.
Regardless of the process, in terms of the results alone, the position of the Imperial Master's Mansion in this decisive battle cannot be overstated as being of vital importance. In this case, how can His Majesty order punishment?"
"Is it crucial?" Zhao Hongzhen smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "How much do you know about this Imperial Master's Mansion?"
"I basically don't know anything about it. The only thing I know is that the Emperor's Master's Palace is very powerful. As far as I know, there are five innate-level masters in the Emperor's Master's Palace. Today, three innate masters from the Wu clan were killed.
The person in question should be at the late stage of the Xiantian Qi Realm, and his combat power is extremely strong.
In fact, in the battle over there, even if we are not there, even if he is alone, the five innate strong men of the Wu clan joining forces may not be able to gain any benefit from him."
Zhao Hongzhen nodded with deep approval: "The one here hardly made any moves during the whole process, but judging from the field and aura, at worst he is a strong man in the late stage of the Innate Qi Realm."
As Zhao Hongzhen spoke, he seemed to think of something again, and suddenly asked: "Commander Lu, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. Is there anything the Emperor's Palace is doing in the capital now? I don't believe it.
This force will remain unknown and undistracted."
"I don't know. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Emperor's Palace has indeed not done anything to harm the interests of the imperial court. But as General Zhao said, your Majesty and I have always suspected that the Emperor's Palace is planning something secretly.
A few days ago, all the spies placed by His Majesty in the Imperial Master's Mansion were dismissed by the Imperial Master's Mansion. At the same time, these days, the Imperial Master's Mansion also went to the capital to find some refugees to work as servants in the mansion."
"That means that the Imperial Master's Mansion is now completely out of His Majesty's control?" Zhao Hongzhen was a little shocked.
"It's not out of control, but out of control." Lu Yao shook his head: "Although the Imperial Master's Office has a noble status, it does not interfere in the government's affairs, nor does it form cliques. In this way, as long as the Imperial Master's Office does not do anything that will harm Huajian,
We can cooperate with them on matters of interest. This is what His Majesty said to me personally. Moreover, in many cases, the existence of the Imperial Master's Palace is not a bad thing for Huajian. This time, the Witch Clan will invade.
It’s the best example.”
Zhao Hongzhen nodded and looked at each other with Lu Yao, both of them speechless for a long time.
