Chapter 656 The Invisible Battlefield (I)
Noon.
The seventh demonic place, Zishan Palace.
In fact, the Far East Snowfield today may no longer be considered a holy land for the demon race.
Ever since Wei Changtian and his group went on a killing spree in Bailing Mountain and kidnapped Su Xiu half a month ago, the severely damaged Seventh Demon Land has fallen into chaos and no longer looks like the paradise it once was.
It's not even a question of "heavy losses".
Many important places including Bailing Mountain and Zishan Palace have now been occupied by the Dajue military. The living space of the demon clan has been greatly squeezed almost overnight.
After losing the relationship with Yan Huanwen, if the Seventh Demon Land continues like this, it will soon become an ordinary snowfield.
From this perspective, what Wei Changtian said in front of Su Xiu at that time, "I don't mind removing your Bailing Mountain from the Fourteen Demon Lands," was not really an empty talk.
Whether it was intentional or he was forced to do so, the Seventh Demon Land is now on the verge of collapse because of him.
And now when he stepped onto the snowy plain again , the sun was dazzling, reflecting golden light on the glazed tiles of the hall.
Wei Changtian mobilized his internal energy to evaporate the beast blood on his clothes, then stepped out of the black fog and looked around.
It is still the same hall, but it is a little different from the last time I came. It must have been renovated.
There were more than ten Shuzhou soldiers standing around him, with some more in the distance, confronting an unknown number of Silver-Armored Soldiers through the door.
It was obvious that those silver-armored soldiers must have been brought by Yan Huaiqing.
"Sir."
"I have just carefully checked the hall inside and outside."
Beside him, the Shuzhou Army General Flag who had come earlier reported in a low voice: "There are about several thousand enemy soldiers outside the palace. Judging from their attire, they are all the Dajue Imperial Guards."
"They must have received orders. They did not enter the temple, nor did they stop us from going out to investigate."
“.”
Soon, the general gave a brief account of the situation.
Although Dajue had thousands of soldiers, they were all outside the Zishan Palace. It was obvious that they did not want to have unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts with him.
It seems that Yan Huaiqing is really sincere this time.
After all, in this way, if anything unexpected happens, Wei Changtian can return to the mountain temple at any time through the teleportation array, so there is no need to worry about him playing any tricks.
Wow, this behavior makes him look like someone of great character.
With a sigh in his heart, Wei Changtian nodded to the Qingjia general flag.
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything wrong with you brothers?"
"Sir, one person died."
The general paused and turned his eyes to the side.
Wei Changtian followed his gaze and found that there was indeed a corpse lying in the corner.
His armor was intact and his body had no injuries, so he must have died in the "one in a hundred" accident at the teleportation array.
"Well, take good care of his body and take it with us when we return."
After giving a gentle reminder, Wei Changtian withdrew his gaze and walked towards the palace door.
Chu Xianping and Li Zimu, who had been silent the whole time, followed behind him at a moderate pace.
In this way, the three of them quickly walked to the inside of the palace door and were finally able to see the scene outside the palace clearly.
Just as the general flag had said, there were indeed thousands of soldiers in silver armor standing outside, forming neat formations that stretched from the palace gate to hundreds of meters away.
Each of these silver-armored soldiers had a stern look and murderous intent, and the scales on their armor were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
The combat effectiveness of such an imperial army must be terrifying.
Yan Huaiqing knew very well that he would most likely not use these people, but he still let them appear in front of him. There is no doubt that this was also a way of "showing off his muscles".
Wei Changtian curled his lips and didn't care about it.
He did not say anything, nor did he step out of the hall. He just stood motionless at the door of the hall.
Soon, a man who looked like a general came forward, bowed to him, and asked loudly:
"Excuse me, are you the Young Master Wei?"
"yes."
After uttering a word, Wei Changtian set his sights on this person.
The golden armor and golden sword, with a majestic aura, are most likely of the second grade.
After coming to the conclusion, Wei Changtian no longer looked at him, and the latter bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, sir," then turned and ran to a carriage with a dragon flag hanging on it and said something to the people in the carriage.
After a while, someone got out of the car.
He was wearing a golden dragon robe with the hem opening to the left and right, and had a sword at his waist.
He is tall and thin, and looks somewhat similar to Yan Huanwen.
Obviously, this person is Yan Huaiqing.
"boom!!!"
The moment Yan Huaiqing got off the carriage, thousands of silver-armored soldiers knelt on one knee in unison.
Different from the civil officials who were very particular about kneeling properly, the soldiers did not have so many requirements. They knelt neatly and neatly as if a huge rock had fallen to the ground.
And although they were only a few thousand people, their numbers were far less than the scene of millions of people kneeling when the emperor traveled, but the sound of their kneeling was so overwhelming and domineering.
This shows that these people are not only well-trained, but are also truly willing to go through fire and water for Yan Huaiqing.
However, Yan Huaiqing, who got off the carriage, did not look at these people, nor did he let them stand up.
He just glanced at Wei Changtian from a distance, and then walked towards Zishan Palace step by step, with only the second-rank general following behind him.
“.”
"Brother Chu, what do you think of this Great Awakening Prince?"
Without looking back, Wei Changtian still stared at Yan Huaiqing who was getting closer and closer, but his voice was clearly heard by Chu Xianping.
Soon, Chu Xianping behind him gave a very concise answer.
"My Lord, this man is indeed a man of great potential."
“The talent of an emperor.”
Repeating in a low voice, Wei Changtian asked again: "How does it compare to Ning Yongnian and Li Qi?"
"Perhaps he doesn't have the domineering attitude of Ning Yongnian, and perhaps he doesn't have the self-sacrificing virtue of Li Qi."
After a pause, Chu Xianping's voice became more serious: "But he is neither as stubborn as Ning Yongnian nor as indecisive as Li Qi."
Not as domineering as Ning Yongnian, not as kind as Li Qi.
But he is not as autocratic as Ning Yongnian, nor as soft-hearted as Li Qi.
The evaluation given by Chu Xianping can be considered objective, and the reason for his conclusion is not difficult to understand.
After all, Yan Huaiqing was able to win over so many people to work for him just by being a prince, and now he has basically controlled the government of Dajue. Naturally, his means of winning people's hearts are extremely strong.
It is difficult for someone as arbitrary as Ning Yongnian to do this.
As for why he is not indecisive How could a person who decided to take the throne and become emperor the day after his father was kidnapped not be cruel? Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.
The moment thousands of people knelt down outside the palace, he realized that Yan Huaiqing was not easy to deal with and could not be treated as an ordinary prince like Ning Wenjun.
Perhaps, this peace talk will be much more difficult than he had imagined. At this moment, the entire Zishan Palace was too quiet inside and outside, with only the footsteps of Yan Huaiqing and the generals behind him echoing in the air.
Then at some point, the footsteps stopped.
“.”
"Mr. Wei, I have long admired you."
"My name is Yan Huaiqing."
