The robbers were attacking fiercely with the blessing of black energy, constantly trying to climb the city wall.
Of course, the city walls of this small fortress cannot be compared with real city walls. Let alone the prefectural city and prefectural city levels, even compared to the county level, they are slightly inferior. In addition to the inferior strength, it is mainly reflected in the height.
It was only about two feet long, so the robbers' siege was not as difficult as they thought, and the villagers' defense was not as easy as they thought.
There is obviously a leader among these bandits. He is more gorgeously dressed than the other bandits, has simple armor, and is blind in one eye. He wears a black eyepatch. He does not take the lead, but sits in the rear and gives cold orders.
Neither the robbers nor the villagers noticed the two figures approaching the battlefield quietly under the cover of night.
It’s frustrating to think about it. In the past, you could do things with just your thoughts, but now you have to keep an eye on things and listen to all directions when moving forward.
Soon, a few brave bandits boarded the city and barely managed to gain a foothold. The villagers couldn't get close to them, so naturally they couldn't drive them down.
The entire defense line was torn open, and more bandits would climb onto the city wall from here.
As a result, the fortress is at risk of being lost.
It's almost time.
Zhou Mengyao shook the cloak on his body. The cloak automatically made a hunting sound without any wind, and slowly took Zhou Mengyao into the air.
Qi Xuansu continued to lurk and approached quietly.
He wasn't just watching the show, but it was a second guarantee. If Zhou Mengyao missed, or if Zhou Mengyao failed to scare off the robber with one blow, it would be Qi Xuansu's turn to take action.
When it comes to sneak attacks, Qi Xuansu is a professional.
Of course Zhou Mengyao cannot shine now, but she has prepared an orb in advance. It is a semi-immortal object. It is unknown what its original use is. Its main function now is to illuminate and give her a round of five colors.
The backlight is particularly eye-catching. Of course, this will make you a live target, but Zhou Mengyao's cloak can even block fire blunderbuss projectiles, so it can also block arrows.
When Zhou Mengyao appeared in the sky above the fortress in a very high-profile manner, it was as if a god came to the world. He quickly attracted the first person's attention. A man flying in the sky and shrouded in colorful backlight?
He subconsciously pulls the people around him.
Then, like a chain reaction, more and more people looked up.
Sure enough, I saw a figure hovering in the air, with a colorful backlight behind him.
Soon, both the robbers who were attacking the city and the villagers who were guarding the city were stunned and looked up dreamily. No one dared to continue taking action for fear of offending the immortals in the sky.
This gave Qi Xuansu a chance. Everyone looked at Zhou Mengyao and was shocked by Zhou Mengyao. No one paid attention to Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu cursed these people for not seeing the world, although Zhou Mengyao was indeed an immortal.
, but that doesn’t mean that someone who can fly and shine is an immortal, while speeding up his stealth.
Zhou Mengyao was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, especially when he saw that the bandit leader was also very shocked, so he no longer hesitated and chose to take action. Under the cover of the colorful backlight, others did not even see clearly how Zhou Mengyao took action.
The fire flashed away, and there was a sound like thunder.
Then the bandit leader fell off his horse, and a small bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows, which was deep and almost black.
Of course this was not thunder, but the sound of a cannon.
The sound of the gun also woke up the shocked people.
When the bandits saw their leader fell from his horse and died, they were immediately in chaos.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also lurked nearby, his body rising up like thunder.
Before the two robbers could react and were still immersed in the shock of the boss' sudden death, they were stabbed to death by Qi Xuansu and followed in the footsteps of the boss.
Only then did the other robbers notice Qi Xuansu who was charging toward him. They drew their swords and surrounded Qi Xuansu.
However, after only one meeting, someone was attacked by Qi Xuansu and his weapon was taken away. Then he saw Qi Xuansu swiping his sword across their necks, leaving only a thin red line. If it is more, it will be heavier, and if it is less, it will be lighter.
Neither serious nor serious, it just ended up killing two people.
This knife was so serious that the other robbers were frightened and did not dare to step forward.
A character who was probably the second-in-command shouted loudly and was about to take action, intending to take the lead and boost morale.
How could Qi Xuansu give him this opportunity? He kept walking and rushed forward with a knife.
Suddenly he saw a flash of cold light, as if a cold wind was passing by, and then there was a soft sound, and half of the blade fell to the ground. The handle and the other half of the blade were held in the hands of the person suspected of being the second master. He slowly lowered his head and looked down, and suddenly he felt what was in front of him.
The scenery moved for no reason.
Suddenly, the man who was suspected to be the second master slid down from his neck to his side, with half of his body bowed, and blood spurted out from his front and back.
Qi Xuansu had no expression on his face and just waved the blood of "Qingyuan" in his hand.
The other robbers looked at Qi Xuansu again, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably, as if they were sifting through chaff. With a "clang", one man's sword fell to the ground, turned around and ran away, and the others followed suit, throwing away their swords and running away.
There were a few more cold rays, and blood suddenly burst out from the backs of the robbers' hearts. Their corpses jumped forward for more than ten feet before they fell down. After a while, a pool of blood formed under their bodies.
There were two other bandits who had already climbed on the back of the horse, and were about to ride away, when Qi Xuansu threw out the long knife in his hand, and instantly skewered the two of them into candied haws.
The leader of a group of bandits all died in Qi Xuansu's hands in the blink of an eye.
The leader died suddenly, and the other leaders were swept away by Qi Xuansu. The bandits who attacked the city naturally had no intention of fighting, collapsed into an army, and began to flee for their lives. Some bandits even jumped off the city wall. Although several bandits were shot to death by villagers with bows and arrows,
There were still many robbers who fled into the night and disappeared without a trace.
In the blink of an eye, the siege of the fortress was resolved.
Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu had no intention of pursuing them, but were preparing to welcome the villagers.
The division of labor between the two is clear. Zhou Mengyao wants to be a god in the world as a prophet, focusing on a person who cannot speak human words and is unpredictable. Therefore, the real operator is Qi Xuansu, who actually interacts with the village's senior officials as a hero who saves the village.
.And his action of killing the bandits is the most powerful proof that when the world is bad, showing off personal bravery is a very effective method.
As expected by the two of them, the villagers did not close the door tightly to keep them out, but opened the door on their own initiative.
If it was just Qi Xuansu who showed his personal bravery, there might be repayment of kindness and revenge, but with Zhou Mengyao's "miracle", it would be completely different, because people cannot fight enemies beyond their own knowledge, so ordinary people
When mortals see the tip of the iceberg of ancient gods or extraterrestrial demons, they always end up in panic and panic instead of dying tragically in battle.
The elders in the village walked out of the fort amidst the cheers of the villagers and walked towards the two people with a look of awe.
Everything is according to plan.
This island is not small, almost half the state.
In the deepest part of the island, in the direction of the dark mountain that Qi Xuansu saw in the distance, there was a city on the pass. It was built against the mountain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In a sense, this city is a bit similar to a Western castle, and at the same time it also functions as part of the Great Wall. The city wall was built all the way to the ridge. It is a product of war. It can be regarded as a fortress called "Cang Cang".
"Cloud Castle".
If Qi Xuansu comes here, he will find that there is a lot of black aura here, which is exactly the same as the black aura attached to the robbers.
Because of this, this Cangyun Castle looks particularly gloomy.
In the middle of Cangyun Castle, there is a governor's mansion, which is the base camp of the bandits.
Strictly speaking, the robbers Qi Xuansu saw were not robbers, but rebels.
It's just that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates. It's hard to say which one is more terrifying, the bandits or the rebels.
The people living in the Governor's Mansion are much better than the bandits and insurrectionists outside. At least they are still armed and armed, retaining a little of the military power they had before falling into a banditry.
There is a watchtower in the Governor's Mansion, located at the highest point of the entire Cangyun Castle. If the enemy troops approach the city, the commander can climb up to the watchtower and observe the situation outside the city while directing the war.
A burly man who looked about fifty years old climbed up to the watchtower, wearing a military attache's robe from the Daqi period, and looked out at the scene outside the city. Even the vegetation outside seemed to be soaked in black air and turned dark green.
, exuding a deep breath.
"Captain!" A general, whose whole body was wrapped in iron armor, followed the man, half a body behind.
At that time, Da Qi established twenty-four governors across the country. The task of these governors was to supervise the good and evil of officials below the local governor. The twenty-four governors were divided into three levels. The last level was the lower governor, and the middle level was
It is the middle governor. The one with a higher rank than the middle governor is the great governor. There are not many great governors, only four.
Later, the Wei Dynasty also established the Great Governor and the Great Governor's Palace, and later established the Five Army Governor's Palace. Although the Daxuan court abolished the Five Army Governor's Palace, it also established the Four Courts Governor's Palace.
The biggest difference between the Duhufu and the Dudufu is that the Duhufu is mainly responsible for border affairs, while the Dudufu is a local administrative agency set up by the Qi court in important areas in the interior to manage inland affairs. Even at certain times, there will be
A situation in which the governor and governor are held by one person.
Judging from the size of this city, it is obvious that he will not be the Grand Governor, and most likely he will not be the Middle Governor, but most likely the Lower Governor.
However, this island has been completely separated from the human world, and naturally there will be no imperial court. Whether it is the Grand Governor, the Lower Governor, or even an ordinary county magistrate, he is the supreme ruler here.
"The rebellion is still going on." The general said softly, "Rebellious people in various places refused to pay taxes and formed strongholds to resist the government troops."
The middle-aged man who was honored as the Governor ignored this, but stretched out his hand, with the black aura around his fingertips, and said: "Do you feel it? There is an outside presence coming."
These black breaths are like his eyes and ears, telling him a lot of information, making him almost omniscient and omnipotent in this world.
The subordinate said nothing.
The governor continued: "I am a hunter on behalf of heaven. Outsiders must be eliminated. This is the will of heaven."
