In the dark underground secret realm, Lorraine Hill and Princess Zhu talked for a long time, and when she came out, it was already noon the next day.
The road leading to this secret stone forest was once again reinforced by this girl. In addition, Lorraine Hill added a layer to the original ban. Judging from her estimation, even if Fei Zhu really wanted to leave, it would be difficult.
, after all, space-related abilities are not something you just want to have, not to mention that they are set up through the Moon Crown.
Although the crown is now broken and unable to exert powerful abilities, it is still very simple to just seal a witch.
After doing all this, the girl left with peace of mind.
While walking on the stairs leading to the upper level of the abyss, Lorraine Hill would occasionally wonder if he was a little bad. He knew a lot of things from Fei Zhu, but he still locked her up even more tightly when leaving.
Already.
'I'm sorry, Senior Fei Zhu, but it's not the time to let you out yet.' She whispered in her heart.
At the end of the conversation, Lorraine Hill also asked Fei Zhu why she had stayed here all these years. Judging from her strength, it would not be difficult to leave.
"I didn't know Suqin was so unbearable that she died at the hands of a mortal." At that time, Concubine Zhu glanced at Lorraine Hill angrily.
"Although it's not difficult to leave, the thought of facing them is always troublesome. Besides, staying here isn't too boring."
When he said this, Lorraine Hill was determined to take a look at the entire secret realm. Seeing Lorraine Hill's turning eyes, the witch also chuckled, and then several white beetles fell from the sky above the secret realm.
, turned towards Lorraine Hill, wanting to scare this new generation of witch descendants.
Fortunately, with this young girl's perception, she was already aware of such bugs when they fell in the air, and then turned into dots of fire and burned into ash.
It turns out that in this secret realm, in addition to the bloody silk and satin exposed in the light, there are also many beetles hiding in the corners.
These beetles are shriveled up and pale in color, like human bones. According to Fei Zhu, these beetles only eat bones and they were raised by her to deal with some garbage.
In the early years, many mortals went deep into this abyss to dig for ores. Some of them stumbled and fell. Their souls would not dissipate normally, but turned into ghosts under the rich special magic power in the ground. She would collect these ghosts.
, peek into the broken memories in order to know what is happening in the outside world, and to kill boring time.
This scene lasted for a long time, but with the accumulation of time, the corpses in the ground also accumulated. Many of them have turned into bones, but they have not dissipated for a long time. Although as a witch, Fei Zhu is not afraid of such things, but she always
I still felt disgusted, so I piled up garbage in front of my house.
So the witch tried every means to find and cultivate these beetles underground, specifically to eat bones and make the environment cleaner. This is why not many corpses were found when the vortex disappeared and Youcheng entered the underground.
After listening to her story, Lorraine Hill was dumbfounded, but felt that this witch also had a life-like side.
However, judging from the chat between the two, Lorraine Hill thinks it is better to lock up Feizhu first. She is not strong enough now. If Feizhu doesn't obey the rules after going out and wanders around in all kinds of ways, she will
Catching them is also very difficult.
It cannot be said that because of a little intolerance and kindness in her heart, she irresponsibly allows bad things to happen. To be truly kind actually requires a lot of strength. With her current ability, she is not able to do this, so she can only wait until she enters the ninth grade.
Only after the Sun Crown has been initially repaired can Concubine Zhu be released.
At that time, even if Fei Zhu wanted to act recklessly, she would be able to sense it very quickly and catch him again.
After thinking about this, Lorraine Hill asked Concubine Zhu some information about the past events of the Five Phoenix Era and what the dragon veins looked like in ancient times, and then withdrew from the secret realm.
Processing the old news he had learned in the past two days and some truths from the past in his mind, Lorraine Hill walked lightly on the long stairs surrounding the abyss. On the way, he occasionally met a few low-level disciples from Jianyou City.
Seeing that Lorraine Hill seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't come forward to disturb him. He just saluted from a distance and continued to walk away lightly.
It was not until the afternoon approached that Lorraine Hill walked to the middle and lower levels of the Abyss, and the surrounding environment gradually became noisy and noisy, which made her wake up from her memories.
On one side of the stairs is the academy surrounded by a stone wall. It has white walls and green tiles, and some purple vines grow on the stone walls. The leaves are shaped like five-pointed stars, and they are all facing the sky. It looks like a kind of quiet beauty of flowers and plants.
There were sounds of reading and teaching in the academy, and occasionally there were young people sitting in the courtyard talking loudly.
"I heard that the army from Beifu Mountain has already arrived at Luojing City. Now the little emperor is defending the city and does not dare to go out to fight."
"It's easy to understand. Those who attack Luojing in Beifu Shanxi are all elite cavalry. If they fight on the wild plains, Luojing's red-scaled halberd guards can't resist it. Even if they have evidence, it's hard to say that the dragon army has an advantage. It's best to
It is better to defend the city and drag it until Beifu's army is cut off from food and grass."
"With the Red Bird Dragon Riders cruising in Luojing, the Beifu Army's logistics simply cannot keep up. Those fire dragons roared past, leaving behind a sea of fire. All the food was burned halfway, and how much could be transported to the front line."
"Oh, why bother? In fact, they were all soldiers of the dynasty, but now they are killing each other."
"You and I think so, but those big shots above won't compromise like that, haha." As they spoke, someone sneered at the former King Dai.
"Isn't it the same for King Dai? In order to force the disciples from all continents to cooperate, he ignored the floods and animal disasters in Jianzhou, and finally defeated Luo Jing, and his people were completely lost."
"Although everyone knew that King Dai was not Qingming before, they always thought that if King Dai could unify the world and restore peace, it would be considered a great achievement, so everyone tolerated it. After all, who is the emperor and not the emperor? At least King Dai
He has been running the southwest continent for many years, and most of his ministers are from the southwest. If King Huainan ascends the throne, he will definitely use the Dongshan family members, and we will be even more miserable, alas..." As he said this, the man shook his head and sighed.
Listening to the chatter of several people in the courtyard, Lorraine Hill stopped and looked at the tall gate of the academy, and then realized that this was the famous 'Fangyou Academy' in Jianyou City.
According to the people in the southwestern continents, this academy is not contaminated by external dust and troubles. It can concentrate on reading and learning. It is most suitable for people who need to study quietly. Although not many students from the academy enter the court and serve as officials, many of them produce extraordinary talents.
A weirdo, he is also extremely famous.
After seeing this academy, Lorraine Hill suddenly remembered something. Although there are currently many masters in the four sects of Quanbo, even the top beings in Sequence 8 can make up a lot, but the talents related to government affairs are actually
not much.
If there was enough time, Lorraine Hill could also open a school to train a group of people. However, the world is currently in chaos and it is necessary to restore stability as soon as possible and prepare for the coming of the phantom of chaos in the future. There is not enough time and energy.
It would be a good way to utilize talents from academies in various places, but the question is whether the ideas of these people are suitable. Some things must be set in the early stage, otherwise it will be difficult to change later.
Thinking of this, Lorraine Hill decided to stay here for a few more days and visit the Fangyou Academy.
——————
Just as the southwestern continents were gradually restoring peace, wars were raging all over the world.
First of all, what attracts the attention of people all over the world is naturally Beifu Mountain. One versus two, the east and west sides set out to fight against the new king and King Huainan at the same time. Even the might of Beifu Mountain's army made many onlookers nervous.
sweat.
As one of the few giant cities in the world, Beifu Mountain City is the only one famous for its military town. Over the past hundred years, famous generals and brave armies have emerged one after another. Since the peace and unification of the world, although there are troops stationed in various continental counties,
But little is known about the war, and Beifu Mountain City has been fighting against alien races and the beast tide outside the pass.
Later, the Beifu Army became the largest faction in the dynasty's military, and several consecutive generals came from the Beifu Army. The Beifu Army not only included the elite border troops stationed in the Beifu Mountain City, but also subordinates recruited by some foreign tribes outside Guan.
army, and finally some of the corvee soldiers and civilians drawn from various states in the world to go to Beifu Mountain for rotation.
Among them, the sergeants of the main camp of Beifu Mountain are naturally the most elite and have strict discipline. The subordinate troops of the foreign races are uneven, some are weak and weak, and some are exceptionally fierce, comparable to the elites of the dynasty. As for the militiamen who go to perform corvee service
, most of them are involved in logistics and manufacturing, and not many directly participate in the war.
Now those who are marching westward to Luojing are the elite cavalry from the Beifu Mountain Headquarters and some of the fierce subordinate troops.
Outside Luojing City.
It was already sunset and nearly dusk. In the boundless wilderness, the deep purple-red twilight sky slowly pressed down, and the whole world seemed to be able to see the fiery red-yellow line at the junction of heaven and earth.
The line of sight slowly moves down from the horizon, and there is a neat and dark camp, with flags flying, stretching to the invisible end. Even though they are so far apart, people can feel a depressing atmosphere.
The night wind blows, and the flags on the city wall make a rolling and flapping sound, dispelling the heat of the day and bringing some coolness. Occasionally, a few gravels roll down from the gaps in the city wall and float to the front.
A dim world illuminated by the afterglow.
A few soldiers guarding the city carried heavy muskets and walked back and forth on the city wall at dusk. Occasionally they stopped and stood looking into the distance, looking at the distant camp with blurred figures.
"Ahem." Several coughs sounded at the top of the city, suddenly breaking the silence and causing some soldiers to tremble involuntarily before they reacted.
"Fuck, your coughing scares people to death. I thought a fight was about to start." They have been patrolling the city these days, and their nerves have become extremely tense. Otherwise, they wouldn't be scared to death just because of this cough.
Shivered.
"Ahem, no, sorry, I guess I caught a cold and scared everyone." The thin soldier covered his mouth, coughed twice more, and then said apologetically.
"Forget it, I think your body is too weak and you can't stand the wind at night."
"It doesn't matter. I'll hold on. I'll get used to it in a few days, cough cough."
"Come on, why don't you go stand next to the brazier and warm yourself up. I think you haven't been a soldier for a long time and you haven't gotten used to it yet." As he said this, the veteran shook his head.
If it had been in the past, they would have probably teased the new recruit, but now that the war was about to begin, they had no other thoughts. They just thought about surviving safely. Now that they can go up to the city wall to patrol with them, they may rely on it one day.
They used each other's strength to find a way out, so even some old veterans became much kinder.
Luojing is the most prosperous place in the world, so being able to serve as a soldier here is naturally a good job. In the past, soldiers were selected from good families in Luojing, but this year, Luojing has fought successive battles, first of all against the leadership of King Dai.
The army attacked, and now the Beifu army went south again. Under the casualties, some wealthy families who cherished their lives had already let their children leave the military camp. Later, the new emperor had to issue an order to relax the recruitment restrictions and recruit a large number of new personnel for training.
.
Nowadays, most of the people patrolling the city are these low-level fire gun soldiers. As for the real elites in Luojing, they usually take a good rest to conserve their energy and energy. They will only go out to fight when they are actually attacking the city.
Just as these people were talking about their own family matters and when the Beifu Army would retreat, a loud shout came from the observation deck nearby.
"They're moving, they're moving!" The voice was urgent, even filled with anxiety and panic.
Immediately there was a sound of footsteps on the city wall, and several people who had been talking about things at home immediately looked into the distance, and saw that the dark camps under the afterglow had been opened at some point, and then the flags were swaying, and each one was vaguely visible in the dusk.
The cavalry filed out.
These cavalry first drove out of the camp, joined together in the wilderness, and gradually formed a queue, and then began to accelerate. The vibrating sound of horse hooves almost resounded throughout the sky. Even in the deepest part of the palace in Luojing, you can feel it under your feet.
That trembling sound that keeps getting closer.
Drums, bells, and shouts rang out from the city walls, and various smoke-burning beacon fires were quickly lit. Soon after, bursts of dragon roars came from the sky behind.
The Red Bird and Dragon Cavalry stationed at Dragon Cliff were dispatched in full force. One after another, the red-scaled fire dragons swooped across the sky. Amidst the almost deafening noise of the soldiers on the city wall, they sprayed dazzling flames towards thousands of people advancing in the wilderness below.
Iron cavalry.
The flames turned the night sky red, and the shiny silver-iron spears passed through the dazzling firelight, with a whistling sound piercing the air, penetrating the bodies of the swooping dragons from bottom to top, and the sound of metal penetrating into flesh and blood was breathtaking.
With chills in my heart, some giant dragons fell from the sky with a wailing cry after being severely injured, smashing away the cavalry along the way, leaving long ravines, and were then pierced by the charging cavalry from behind.
The cold moon sword was heavy and sharp. It brought up large pieces of broken scales and left a long gash on the dragon's body. However, under the impact of each of the elite cavalry, the dragon could not survive for tens of seconds.
His whole body was seriously injured, his wings and limbs were broken, and then a long knife cut across the trajectory of the dragon in the night, and the huge dragon head rolled to the ground in the surging blood. He died with eyes closed, and the dragon's pupils opened angrily.
Flames were scattered across the battlefield, with corpses of cavalry everywhere, as well as the figure of the wailing and struggling dragon. The sound of artillery firing could be heard from time to time in Luojing City behind him, and the sound of explosions bloomed in the field. The soldiers on the city wall
He raised his blunderbuss and continued to focus fire on the elite cavalry approaching the city. From time to time, powerful air-piercing steel arrows flashed beside them. Some were only penetrated by their arms, and some were shot through their throats. They held their hands unwillingly.
The wound fell slowly.
"Bang——"
A dazzling flash of light bloomed from the ground, and a ball of flames with countless sparks shot straight from the Beifu Military Camp. It flew past the ground and hit a corner of the city wall. It burst into countless scattered flames and fragments.
The ground was shattered, leaving long ravines and afterimages of Mars. Finally, with a belated loud noise, a corner of the city wall slowly collapsed, revealing a gap.
"kill--"
Under the command, the soldiers from both sides rushed towards the gap desperately, with layers of flags advancing forward. In the gap where the figure swayed, the dazzling place was already a sea of swords and fire.
