"Ah—help!"
"There's a fire! Put it out! Come quickly, put it out!"
"Mother! Mother!! I don't have a mother anymore. Please help me save my mother."
The entire Desheng City caught fire almost instantly, not just one or two places, but pieces of it all caught fire at the same time.
The flames rushed out from the ground, accompanied by huge bombing sounds, and countless houses caught fire instantly.
The people rushed out, and when they saw the raging fire all around, they collapsed on the spot.
The cries, wails, and screams were all heart-wrenching.
Naturally, there are many people among these people who have practiced cultivation, some of whom have reached the first level, or even the second level.
They had started packing their bags when the Shenji Camp rushed in. Now, when they heard that there was a fire, they didn't have to worry at all and just picked up their bags and rushed out.
But at this moment, a series of flaming crossbow arrows shot over.
Puff puff puff——
Countless civilians were shot on the spot and fell in the fire.
There were also civilians who were closer to the city gates. When they saw the blazing fire, they immediately rushed out of the city. As long as they escaped the city, they would survive.
However, they soon discovered that the city gate was locked tightly.
There were also a large number of troops guarding the city. When the people approached the city gate, a dense rain of arrows instantly fell from the top of the city.
When many people saw the soldiers' uniforms, they thought that reinforcements had arrived, but what greeted them were cold feather arrows.
"Ah! The soldiers are killing people!"
"Don't get close to the city gates, they'll kill...Ah!!"
In the eastern part of the city, the fire was not as serious.
Several strong men from the Qiao family took their soldiers to set the fire. They used the Mohist fire crossbows, and every time they shot one, it would burn with flames.
Moreover, this flame is very special and cannot be extinguished even by pouring water on it.
"Ah! Someone come quickly, someone set a fire."
"Damn beasts! They are Yanyun soldiers. Why did they set fire?"
"Please, Master, don't burn our house. We have never done anything bad in our lives. My daughter-in-law just gave birth today and she is still in the house. Please..."
An old woman with white hair knelt in front of the elder brother of the Qiao family, crying and begging him not to set the fire.
The elder brother of the Qiao family hesitated for a moment. These were the elderly, children, women and children, all unarmed civilians.
"Brother, what are you waiting for? They are just a bunch of untouchables!"
Qiao Shihan rushed over, killed the old woman with one knife, and then threw several fire bombs in with one hand.
"If you were any slower, we would be the ones to die. Don't forget, we're just the executors. If you want to blame someone, blame that Lin Che..."
"Desheng City was burned down by the Divine Machine Camp! All the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun should seek revenge on them!"
The raging fire swept through the entire city and burned for three days and three nights.
The flames that shot up into the sky lit up the dark night blood red.
Lin Che's notoriety instantly spread throughout the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Many civilians witnessed Lin Che riding the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Lion towards Desheng City, and then leading his troops away. After he left, a raging fire engulfed the city.
If it wasn't him, who else could it be?
A murderous devil! A heartless person! Anathema to both humans and gods!
The demon cursed Lin Che's entire family to death, leaving him alone to live in endless pain and torture! !
…
Yunzhou city gate.
Lin Che couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the massive black-armored army appear.
"Junior, respectfully welcome General Wen Hong!"
Wen Hong was covered in dust, and his serious old face was full of vicissitudes of life.
He quickly took off his helmet with a red tassel, handed it to the guard beside him, and walked forward with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
"You brat! The Shenji Camp only has 40,000 soldiers and you dare to attack Yunzhou. If you were given 20,000 more, you would even dare to attack Youzhou!"
Wen Hong walked up to Lin Che, his deep eyes filled with concern. He reached out and patted Lin Che's arm, praising him:
"Alright! Young hero—I, Da Gan, will be the first to capture Yunzhou and reclaim the lost territory! It turns out you are the one!"
Lin Che smiled and gestured to Wen Hong to come in.
"Old General, please stop laughing at me. I've had a headache these past two days. We conquered Yunzhou, but the people are starting to rebel. They secretly call me a demon who kills without blinking an eye. They say I burned Desheng City for three days and three nights without blinking an eye."
Lin Che snorted and continued, "I didn't blink for three days and three nights. Wouldn't my eyes be dry?"
Wen Hong laughed dumbly. "I heard the news on the road. I knew you were being slandered, and I was worried you wouldn't be able to bear the infamy. It seems I was overthinking it. Judging from your behavior, do you have a plan to deal with it?"
Lin Che shook his head. He had never imagined that Shi Chongguang from Yanyun Country was so cruel.
The entire city was burned down in one go.
This matter could not be concealed at all, and the truth would be known with just a little investigation. However, this trick was enough to fool the people of the world.
Because, in fact, a city was burned down, and the people were burned alive. And the evidence, the Yanyun royal family has already found out: it was the Great Champion Hou Linche, who led the Shenji Battalion to do it.
As for what the truth is? It doesn't matter.
What the royal family says is the truth!
In just these three or four days, the people of Yunzhou had already begun to stir. Some young and foolish people directly attacked the Shenjiying camp, some secretly poisoned Lin Che, and some burned straw men to curse him.
There were even more disgusting people who sneaked out in the middle of the night and just threw excrement towards the Shenjiying area.
"Now that the Black Armored Army is here, I feel relieved!"
Wen Hong walked into the city gate and officially entered the Yunzhou area. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar city and houses, he sighed:
"When I first saw you, I thought the Zhenguo Mansion had no room for you. Then you should come and serve under my Black Armor Army. Be a small black soldier for two and a half years, and then I will directly promote you to become my guard. Now, you are already the strongest general in Dagan."
They are the Black Armor Army, and all of them wear black armor. New recruits are often called "Little Blackies".
At the fastest, you can be promoted within three years.
Lin Che said, "Old General, you are too kind to me. With you here, how dare I call myself the strongest general in Dagan?"
"That's right. There are indeed people stronger than you, but it's not me. Even with 40,000 soldiers under my command, I couldn't capture Yunzhou. But there is indeed someone more dazzling than you, Marshal Li Zhenjiang, who guards the Great Wall of Destiny!"
When this name was mentioned, Wen Hong's eyes showed awe.
No matter whether it is the Zhenyuan Army, the Black Armor Army, the Tiance Army, or the Shenwu Army, their highest commander can only be called a general.
Only Li Zhenjiang was called the Marshal!
Lin Che was also curious. What kind of person could make General Wen Hong so awed?
But before he could ask any more questions, a guard came quickly and reported:
"General! The people are rebelling again. This time there are over ten thousand of them, and they are armed! How should we deal with this?"
