Chapter 213: Little Princess Zhaoyu of the Demon Dynasty
…
The outside world.
The air here is filled with a gray-black evil spirit all year round, and even the sky looks gloomy. Only the light of the blood moon envelopes the surrounding areas, making everything between heaven and earth appear mysterious and chilling.
The evil spirit has a corrosive effect on the human body, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive. Only Qi Refining monks who have cultivated themselves can barely stay for a year or two. But after one or two years, they must go out to cultivate and recuperate.
interest.
Human Immortal Base No. 3.
Eastern Front Defense Zone.
Southeast region.
In a dangerous place at the mouth of the gorge, there stands a pass.
This pass is adjacent to the red crystal salt-alkali land, and the surrounding mountains, valleys, and earth colors all present a light red color, so it is named [Chixia Pass].
The place where Chixia Pass stands is one of the march routes for the demons from outside the territory.
Because the red crystal salt-alkali land on the opposite side is very difficult to march, the heat is unbearable, and even demonic plants have difficulty surviving. The desolation is terrible, and the supply line is even more difficult to lay out. From a defensive perspective, it can be said to be "easy to defend but difficult to attack."
For countless years, Chixia Pass has firmly contained the advance of demons from outside the territory.
But because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Eastern Defense Zone only has one battle group stationed in the Chixia Pass, named [Human Immortal Dynasty Defense Base No. 3 Defense Base Eastern Front Defense Zone Eighth Regiment].
The eighth battle group is not the main battle group. Its leader [Luo Yangyu] is a monk in the early stage of the magical power realm. The five or six thousand men under his command are a standard battle group configuration. The soldiers with the lowest cultivation level are in the early stage of the Lingtai realm.
This kind of war group is considered an ace war group in a small human country, but in a real foreign battlefield, it can only be called an ordinary war group.
At this time, Chixia Pass fell into a fierce battle.
A demon army of tens of thousands of people crossed the Red Crystal Salt-Alkali Land regardless of the risk, and launched a fierce attack on Chixia Pass with few heavy weapons and no logistical supply lines.
Armies without logistical supply lines are very dangerous. They launch attacks with a failure-or-benefit mentality. Once the attack fails, or they fall into a quagmire of war that cannot be conquered for a long time, they will often meet the most tragic end.
At this time, the gate-protecting formation had been breached by the opponent's magic weapon.
The demon soldiers and generals were highly motivated and launched wave after wave of attacks on Chixia Pass without fear of death.
"Boom boom boom!"
On the wall of Chixiaguan, the new-style [Shenwei Cannon] kept roaring like thunder, and the blooming shells smashed into the ranks of the demon army and exploded.
Even though those demon soldiers were so strong, their arms and legs were severed by the explosion, and their corpses flew everywhere.
This batch of hundreds of powerful cannons were the supplies that Zhao Tingjian shamelessly begged for.
It's a pity that although the divine cannon is powerful, the demons are even more ferocious. Driven by the war supervising demon general, they seem to not care about life and death at all, and one after another they launch fierce offensives again and again towards the pass city wall that is more than ten feet high.
However, under the sacrifice of their lives by the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment, they turned into corpses and fell down the pass.
Suddenly, another master demon general from the other side took the lead and flew up to the city wall, while a general from the Purple Mansion Realm from our own side flew to resist.
The two sides fell into a fierce battle, which was extremely brutal.
"Where are the reinforcements? Have they not arrived yet?"
After finally forcing back a demon lord on the opposite side, the battle leader Luo Yangyu roared with blood all over his body.
"Captain, we have already urged you!" the deputy commander replied with the same roar, "Now all the fortresses and passes are facing a steady stream of attacks from the demons, and our troops are extremely short. The headquarters has asked us to resist for another two days.
, the reinforcements will surely arrive in two days."
"Damn two days! Whether we can survive today is still unknown!" Luo Yangyu's eyes were about to split, but he was helpless.
He knew in his heart that it wasn't that the headquarters didn't want to support as soon as possible, but that it really couldn't spare any effort. This time the human race's defense line was facing an unprecedented crisis. Every pass and stronghold was being attacked. The human race's overall military strength was stretched thin. Many times they just wanted to
Support is also helpless.
The fact that reinforcements arrived two days later was probably the result of the hard work of many people.
However, what if he knows this? The result will not change just because he knows this.
Now, the only thing he can do is to use all his efforts to defend this pass. Even if there is only one soldier left in the battle, he must persist until reinforcements arrive!
Wiping away the blood on his face, Luo Yangyu swung his sword towards the battlefield again, his bloodshot eyes filled with burning fighting spirit, and roared: "Brothers! Kill, kill, kill!! Kill one to make me happy, kill two."
made money!!!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Fierce shouts of killing resounded through the pass.
After rounds of offensives, the human soldiers were already very tired. However, none of them said a word about hardship or tiredness, and no one cowered. They still fought fiercely and desperately with the demons, with passionate blood.
Brave and courageous, with high morale.
Demons have strong physiques and are inherently more brave and powerful than humans. When ordinary war groups fight against them in the field, they often suffer heavy casualties. That is to say, in this kind of war where the defender has the advantage, relying on high walls
And with the advantage of weapons, we can barely achieve a one-to-one battle loss.
It's a pity that the military strength of tens of thousands of demons is composed of three demon lords, and the total combat strength is almost three times that of the eighth battle group.
If no reinforcements arrive, or a miracle happens, the defeat of the Eighth Chapter is just a matter of time.
…
at the same time.
In the deserted red crystal salt-alkali land, under the scorching heat waves and the strange light reflected by the red crystal salt-alkali, an army of five to six thousand people was marching quickly.
Every soldier in this army wears red treasure armor with exquisite craftsmanship. The armor is also decorated with a red full moon symbol, and everyone rides a tall and powerful spiritual war horse. These war horses have been specially trained.
It has a strong load-bearing capacity and is covered in armor. From a distance, the people and horses whizzing by look like flowing red flames.
Obviously, this is an army belonging to the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty, and it is the elite among the elite.
The aura exuded by every soldier in the team is deep and rich, and they are all at least in the middle and late stages of the Lingtai realm. Some of the soldiers at the squad leader level have reached the Tianren realm and the Zifu realm.
Generals abound.
Even on foreign battlefields, a battle group with such a configuration is considered an elite.
This battle group is one of the elite red-armored battle groups that defends the Demon Dynasty.
However, even a battle group of this level still runs on the ground when marching urgently, rather than flying through the sky.
After all, Lingtai Realm monks can only fly a short distance in the air, and consume a lot of energy when flying. When traveling for long distances, Lingtai Realm monks cannot withstand such a loss of profound energy due to their cultivation.
The front of the battle group.
Several seventh-level red tigers with particularly splendid looks were galloping between the war horses.
These red tigers have thick and powerful limbs, and their muscles bulge when they run. Their fur is shiny and smooth, and they are also covered in gorgeous armor. At a glance, you can tell that they are mounts that have been carefully raised and trained since childhood.
Obviously, the status of a person who can own a red tiger mount is by no means simple.
One of the red tigers had two saddles, one large and one small, placed on its back. The front saddle was very mini, and there were even guardrails around the saddle. There was a little girl carved in pink and jade sitting inside.
This little girl turned out to be the little princess from the Demon Dynasty who appeared before.
Because of the long journey, her beautiful little outfit had become wrinkled, and her little face had turned red due to the temperature and exposure to the sun, making her look a little embarrassed.
She grabbed the guardrail in front of the saddle, her little face was full of anger, and she even pouted: "Bastard Shentu Jingming, bad guy Shentu Jingming, they clearly promised to take me to the battlefield outside the territory to see the world, but they let me eat so much
It’s a lot of pain. I’m exhausted and exhausted.”
Behind the little girl, there was also a woman riding, using her majestic profound energy to open up a transparent shield to protect the little girl in front of her.
It was a tall and slender middle-aged woman wearing an elegant pink dress.
She seems to be quite old, but she does not look old because she is well cared for. Her temperament is restrained and calm, not aggressive at all, and she gives off a very reliable feeling at first glance.
However, even so, no one would dare to underestimate her.
The power of the Lingxu Realm faintly revealed on her body was as unfathomable as the majestic sea, which made people secretly frightened.
This middle-aged woman is the nun who was specially arranged by the Demon Emperor to take care of the little princess. She is responsible for protecting the safety of the little princess. Her original name is now known by few people. Most people who know her call her "Tian Qin"
aunt】.
"Little girl, do you know that the elders and younger ones are in order? You want to call me Brother Sanhuang!"
On Chihu's back next to her, the third prince Shentu Jingming glanced at her lazily with a nonchalant expression.
Compared with the little girl who was a little embarrassed, he was much more leisurely. Even though the red tiger under his crotch was running at an extremely fast speed, his sitting posture was still lazy and not nervous at all.
"I don't want to call you little girl~ My ancestors just decreed that I be called [Princess Zhaoyu]. From now on, you have to call me Princess Zhaoyu." The little girl protested angrily.
"Is it great to have a title? It's as if no one has a title." The third prince rolled his eyes at her, "First, it was you who shamelessly begged me to take you to the demonic world outside the territory to see the world. Second, it was you who said you were
I want to lead the way for the prince and princess. I can't ride on a flying chariot and enjoy myself in the sky. Watching the soldiers running on the ground, I have to come down and run with them."
"Now that I have suffered a lot, I know that I am not happy with it. If you are not happy, you can go back~"
"Shen Tu Jingming, I see that you clearly suffered a loss at the hands of the Little Demon Lord in the Demon No. 2 base, and took your anger out on me."
As the only little princess of the Mo Dynasty, Princess Zhaoyu has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She is not afraid of Shentu Jingming.
She immediately glared at him and said sarcastically: "It's not because you can't defeat the Little Demon Lord that we are thrown out to support the people of Hanyue Immortal Dynasty and have to go to this broken salt-alkali land."
"Obviously you heard that Wang Fugui also came to the outside world. You wanted to see how many eyes and arms he had, so you insisted on following him." The third prince replied nonchalantly, "Also, I'm on the second floor.
Base No. 1 doesn’t care about the little devil. It’s out of overall considerations and my own considerations. It’s not because I’m afraid of him. You’re just a kid, so don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.”
During this period of time, the Third Prince was "ordered" to go to the Demon No. 2 Base to take charge, but ended up quarreling with the Little Demon Lord during the strategy and tactics meeting.
According to the wishes of the Third Prince, the Demonic Base No. 2 will naturally spare as much troops as possible to rescue the Immortal No.3 Base to further strengthen the cooperation between the Immortal and Demonic Dynasties. This is also in line with the current situation in which the Immortal and Demonic Dynasties jointly resist the demons from outside the territory.
the general policy.
Unfortunately, the Little Demon Lord held a different view.
He believed that since the Immortal Dynasty had restrained many of the Demon Clan's forces, it would be better to free up its forces to attack the Scarlet Demon King's Castle and other areas where there was no military strength.
In this way, not only can a large amount of materials and military exploits be harvested, but the retreat and supply lines of the demon army can also be cut off, which is equivalent to supporting the Immortal Dynasty in disguise.
After sweeping away the rear of the demon army, they took the initiative. If the Immortal Dynasty was willing to pay the price, he would not mind a front-to-back attack with the eastern defense zone and inflict a heavy blow to the demon army.
It was obvious that his plan included using the demon army to weaken the Immortal Dynasty's military strength.
However, his strategic policy has won the support of almost all the big guys in Demon No. 2 Base. Even some friends who are more emotionally inclined to Shentu Jingming feel that Little Demon Lord's strategic intentions are more logical.
It is also more in line with the stance and interests of the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty.
Later, the Little Demon Lord mocked the third prince, saying that if you really want to stick to the Immortal Dynasty, you can lead your own troops there. This can also show the sincerity of our Red Moon Demon Dynasty to cooperate with the Immortal Dynasty.
Incited by his move, the third prince was so angry that he led his troops across the red crystal salt-alkali land and went to the eastern front defense zone of Xian Dynasty alone to rush for reinforcements.
It is also because of this that the Third Prince and this elite battle group appear here.
As for Princess Zhaoyu appearing here, that is another story.
Along the way, the third prince and Princess Zhaoyu were at each other's throats as they grew older and younger. They were the most noisy in the entire march.
Not far away, another red tiger war horse mounted. Wang Longyan, who had listened all the way, was really impatient. He glared at the third prince coldly: "How old are you, why do you always quarrel with Zhaoyu? Can't you throw it away?
Shameful?"
"Yes, yes, if Bing doesn't let me quarrel, I won't quarrel with her." The third prince really obeyed Wang Longyan. After hearing this, he immediately abandoned the little princess Zhaoyu and drove her around.
Then Chihu ran to her side, smiling playfully, full of flattery, "Actually, it's all my fault that little girl, she has done a lot of troubles at such a young age."
"Who caused too many troubles?" Princess Zhaoyu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her little face turned red. "Shentu Jingming, I'm warning you, I have been canonized as a [Princess], and I also have the right to inherit. You mess with me.
If you make me anxious, I will compete with you for the position of Demon Emperor."
"Hey, shouldn't I nip you in the bud earlier?"
"Come on, I'm afraid of you!"
The two quarreled again.
Seeing this, Aunt Tianqin, who was protecting Zhaoyu, and Mr. Zhuo, who was behind the third prince, both showed helpless expressions. The elder and the younger were simply natural enemies, and they would quarrel whenever they met, which was really a headache.
Even Wang Longyan held his forehead with a headache and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
At this moment.
An airborne scout team sent out for reconnaissance returned from the front.
The leader of the air cavalry scout team looked solemn and hurriedly reported to the third prince: "Your Highness, the Chixia Pass ahead is being violently attacked by the demon army. The battle is extremely tragic."
As he spoke, he briefly explained the battle situation ahead and the comparison of military strength between the two sides.
Wang Longyan frowned and looked at the third prince.
After hearing this, the third prince Shentu Jingming was completely in no mood to tease Zhaoyu.
"It seems that the situation here in the Immortal Dynasty is more serious than I imagined." He tightened the reins and immediately drove the red tiger mount towards the direction of Chixia Pass, saying in a loud voice, "Brothers, speed up.
March, follow me and go straight to the bottom of the demon clan, let the brothers of the Immortal Dynasty see the strength of our [Red Tiger Chapter]!"
All the red-armored cavalry agreed with a loud voice.
The next moment, all the soldiers suddenly raised their whips and accelerated, and the elite battle group of five to six thousand people immediately turned into a red torrent, rushing towards the front in a mighty manner.
In less than half an hour, the red torrent circled around the back of the demon siege army and launched a fierce attack on the rear flank of the demon army that was attacking the city.
The Red Tiger Battle Group was originally an elite battle group of the Demon Dynasty, with impressive combat effectiveness. Now that they were charging forward, their power was even more astonishing. They were like strong winds and huge waves, capable of tearing all enemies into pieces.
Amidst the shouts of killing all day long, the demon soldiers fell down one after another, and a gap appeared in the rear wing of the demon siege army.
The demon siege army was caught off guard, and the originally orderly attack rhythm was immediately disrupted.
This chaos was quickly noticed by the soldiers of the Eighth Legion guarding the city.
They had been guarding Chixia Pass for a long time, and both their physical strength and spirit had been extremely exhausted. They thought they would probably suffer a lot today, but no one expected that at this moment, reinforcements would arrive.
For a time, the soldiers defending the city were in high spirits, and their almost exhausted physical strength seemed to have recovered a lot.
"It's the army of the Demon Dynasty! It seems to be one of the famous Red Armored Army..." Luo Yangyu, the leader of the Eighth Chapter, looked at the rear of the Demon Clan army from a distance. He was surprised, but also saved a little.
Confuse.
How come the demon army appears in the defense zone of the Immortal Dynasty?
However, before he could figure out the reason, he saw an icy blue figure flying past the battlefield like a thunderbolt.
Under the cover of the gray-black evil spirit that filled the sky and the earth, the figure was like a ray of skylight breaking through the fog. It was extremely dazzling and eye-catching, and it instantly took away all his attention.
It was the figure of a woman.
She was wearing an ice-blue robe with sword sleeves and no armor on her body. She was walking on the battlefield as if she were strolling in a leisurely courtyard. One person with one sword was like a thousand troops.
A demon lord saw that something was wrong and tried to stop her, but he was no match for her. The demon lord, who was comparable to a powerful human being in the magical power realm, was completely suppressed and beaten by her!
Luo Yangyu was stunned when he saw it.
This figure is undoubtedly the ancestor of Longyan.
The ancestor of Longyan took action with anger, and he was merciless in his attacks. He killed the demons just like chopping melons and vegetables. Moreover, after a visit to the officer training academy, the ancestor of Longyan had no idea how to cooperate with the battle group in combat.
I already have some experience.
Unknowingly, the battle formation of the Red Tiger Chapter changed, forming a sharp arrow formation with her as the front, killing the demons with an unknown amount of efficiency higher than before.
However, in just one stick of incense, the demon lord who tried to intercept was killed by her. This was the result of her deliberately hiding her clumsiness, not taking out the semi-immortal weapon, and not giving full play to the power of her bloodline.
Seeing this, the defenders at Chixia Pass seemed to have been given a shot in the arm. Even their physical fatigue seemed to be gone. They all became excited and began to risk their lives.
Under the command of Luo Yangyu, they even began to cooperate with the Red Tiger Chapter and launched a counterattack against the demon army from both ends.
For a time, the demon army, which was originally numerically superior, was suddenly overwhelmed. Its morale suddenly collapsed, and the soldiers began to scatter in all directions.
"My Ruobing is unparalleled in style, she really is the reincarnation of the Valkyrie~~" On the battlefield at the rear, the third prince Shentu Jingming looked at the scene where Wang Longyan was killing everyone, his eyes were filled with light and he was fascinated, "Every move she made,
They are all so charming.”
"Bah! You're such a shameless licking dog."
Princess Zhaoyu was held in Aunt Tianqin's arms and half sat on her arms, but this did not prevent her from casting a look of deep contempt at the third prince.
"What do you know, little girl?" the third prince said nonchalantly, "I am lucky to be able to lick Ruobing."
While he was talking, the third prince Shentu Jingming had already driven his mount to keep up with Wang Longyan and joined in the killing of the enemy.
A rout battle lasted for several hours.
At the end of the battle, the Red Canyon was filled with demon corpses.
The soldiers of the 8th Chapter who were guarding the gate were exhausted, but they still managed to clean up the battlefield. The soldiers of the Red Tiger Chapter were also helping.
For a moment, ignoring the corpses all over the ground, Chixia Pass was peaceful and peaceful.
At this moment, a small team of aerial riders galloped towards them in the sky. The leader of them was a ninth-order Yimu Qinglong. On the back of the Qinglong, a young woman wearing bright yellow armor was sitting.
This young woman has bright features and graceful temperament. Who could she be if she wasn't Princess Suiyun?
It turned out that she learned that the situation at Chixia Pass was urgent, and was worried that reinforcements would arrive after the defenders could hold out for less than two days, so she personally led her personal guards to rush in for support.
At this time, her phoenix eyes were slightly cold, and her whole body was filled with a murderous aura. Even her bright yellow armor had many dried blood stains that had not been dealt with. It was obvious that she had just come from another battlefield.
With the full-scale attack of the demon army, Princess Suiyun galloped around to support various battlefields, and she was already exhausted.
However, under the tremendous pressure of war, she did not dare to rest at all.
The air cavalry team circled in the air for half a circle before landing outside Chixia Pass.
As soon as Princess Suiyun saw the flag of the Mo Dynasty army flying over the pass, she roughly guessed the situation, and immediately asked loudly: "Suiyun thanks the Mo Dynasty army for rushing to help. May I ask which general of the Mo Dynasty is the leader?"
"So you are the famous Princess Suiyun~" Just after a battle with the wind, the third prince was in high spirits. He immediately flew up, looked at Princess Suiyun from a distance and said, "I am the third prince of the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty.
The third prince Shentu Jingming."
"It turns out that [Prince Anyao] is here." Princess Suiyun hurriedly flew forward and bowed, "Suiyun once again thanks Prince Anyao for his help."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter." The third prince waved his hands and said with a very structured and far-sighted look, "You and I are both the next Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor. We will have to spend more time dealing with each other in the future.
It’s also great to get familiar with each other in advance and build relationships.”
The next Demon King?
A look of astonishment flashed across Princess Suiyun's pretty eyes.
Has the successor to the Demon Emperor of the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty been decided? Why hasn’t she received any information?
Seeing this scene, Princess Zhaoyu turned away and buried her head directly into Aunt Tianqin's shoulder.
So embarrassing~
These three emperor brothers have been so embarrassed that they can no longer even see it.
