This is a precious treasure, an army that has marked its history with its tenacity, and a great defensive battle!

The main general Tian Han was born into an ordinary peasant family. Due to his poor family background, he joined the army early in his youth.

He is a steady and gentle person. After accumulating military merits and becoming a leader, he also gets along well with the soldiers in the simplest way.

He trained and worked with the soldiers, and was deeply supported and loved by his subordinates.

When foreign enemies invaded, he fought tenaciously as a defender and led the army to fight bravely. He always insisted on fighting for the people and gave priority to their livelihood and safety.

He advocated the concept of "strong army with popular support" and always believed that the strength of the army came from the people's support.

During his stay, he also led his subordinates to do many practical things for the farmers, such as digging wells and ditches.

Therefore, the Iron Guards led by him enjoyed a high reputation among the people. Whenever a war broke out, the people would always voluntarily support his army, provide food, shelter, and even come to help in person.

The enemy was powerful and occupied a large area of ​​territory.

In many battles against foreign invasions, Tian Han always went to the front line in person, fearless of danger. No matter how dangerous the battle was, Tian Han always led the soldiers to charge forward, commanded them personally, and led by example.

Finally, in a fierce defensive battle, the situation was very critical. Tian Han fought alone to block the gap, but was besieged by many people and was shot to death by a poisonous arrow that came from nowhere.

His subordinates cried and wanted to carry him away, but he stopped them, saying, "I know this poison is so deadly that there is no hope for me! Let me stand for a while longer. The enemy will be intimidated by me. If I stand for a while longer, the enemy will have more time to prepare, and you will have more time to catch your breath."

"General!" the subordinates cried bitterly.

Tian Han stood there from dusk till night. Seeing that he was always standing firm on the front line, the enemy did not dare to move and chose to rest.

Tian Han used the last of his life to fight.

Although he died in battle, the morale of his army reached its peak! The soldiers were determined to avenge their commander, and with their hometown behind them, there was no way out.

"Without the general, the enemy's morale will be boosted tomorrow and they will attack. Why don't we..." A soldier suggested pretending that the commander-in-chief Tian Han was still there, and the others agreed.

They then chose the strongest man among themselves, had him wear Tian Han's full set of armor, play the role of the latter, and fight to the death.

A few days later, the actor also died of his injuries.

Soon, they chose the third actor.

This happened many times. Although "Tian Han" was getting weaker and weaker, he still fought tenaciously. No matter what tricks the enemy used, he did not fall down, which kept the enemy's morale in a low state and made it difficult for them to exert their full strength.

The Iron Guards were few in number, but relying on their peak morale, skilled battle formations, and geographical advantages they had built up over the years, they held their ground and blocked an enemy force that was dozens of times their size.

The enemy commander cursed loudly and replaced three main generals in succession, but none of them could break through this seemingly thin line of defense.

Even our king's capital was under siege, but the defense line here has not been breached yet.

The army's rations had long been used up, and the Iron Guards ate horses, grass, and leaves. The crossbows had long been broken, and although the artillery was intact, it had run out of ammunition.

When the enemy cut off their water supply, they drank their own urine and refused to retreat.

Towards the end of the battle, the enemy also saw through the Iron Guard's disguise. When they realized that the real Tian Khan had already died in battle, they were extremely shocked.

Because, in their opinion, "Tian Khan" has really been fighting all the time!

The enemy veteran who was well versed in military tactics suddenly realized: "This is the spirituality of the armor. This spirituality is not only created by Tian Han himself, but also the unity and infusion of the spirit and will of the entire army!"

"All our detection methods are very sound, but they are concealed because we are facing this army with extremely condensed will and spirit!"

"Tian Khan longed for someone to take over the overall situation and continue the battle. The soldiers longed for Tian Khan to stay alive and intimidate the enemy."

"Everyone's thoughts are focused on this armor, making the moment its spirituality is born extraordinary!"

“We were all deceived.”

"What a respectable army this is."

The old general sighed.

When the Iron Guard was reduced to a dozen men, the enemy voluntarily gave up fighting this army.

They gave up on breaking through the defense line and went around it from both sides.

When passing by the hills, the enemy soldiers would salute you, even giving you a military salute!

Even the enemies had strong respect and admiration for this army that was united and purposeful.

The armor that was worn by almost everyone in the army was named "Generals and Soldiers Wear the Same Helmet"! After that, this spiritual weapon born from the battlefield was lost.

Sometimes, military treasures are worn by outstanding generals, sometimes they are buried because of their inconspicuous appearance and are only worn by soldiers, and sometimes they become collections of people who know the value of them.

Time and war have left countless traces of damage on it.

Because the birth experience is too special and difficult to repair!

The once complete set of full body armor had long been scattered in the vicissitudes of fate.

So, what Ning Zhuo saw Lu Hongtu taking out was just a helmet.

The helmet has a solid appearance, with no unnecessary decoration on the surface, and simple lines outlining an elegant and solemn helmet.

The top of the helmet tilts back slightly, like a phoenix about to spread its wings, symbolizing the spirit of the source, the soldiers are united, and no matter how many times they die, they can be "reborn" again! The main material of the helmet is ancient refined iron, which has been smelted and forged many times, showing a bronze luster and a slight breath of time.

There are many scratches and dents on the surface of the helmet. These scars are traces of battle, witnessing countless times of perseverance and sacrifice.

The inside of the helmet originally had a lining, but over time, the lining has completely disappeared.

Ning Zhuo's eyes were attracted by it. This rare weapon was very suitable for him now.

Ning Zhuo thought deeply for a moment, and said in a hoarse and tough voice: "This transaction method is indeed good. But I have to have the final say in lending out Gao Sheng's suicide note. In other words, even if Qianfenglin lives or dies, as long as I think the timing is not right, I will not lend it!"

Ning Zhuo said this deliberately in order to gain bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations.

Because of this condition, even Sun Lingtong felt it was too much.

If the "Old Monster in the Stone" feels that it is inappropriate and refuses to lend the money, he can simply not fulfill the contract.

However, Lu Hongtu narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he actually nodded and smiled, indicating his agreement! "Okay, I agree to this condition."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong:?!

Until both parties signed the contract, Sun Ning and the other person were still a little dazed.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Lu Hongtu is so easy to talk to?"

"It's not just easy to talk to, it's simply stupid!"

"No, that's not right. There must be something, something we overlooked."

Lu Hongtu carried a large amount of weapons and flew towards the main gate of the Liudong Sect with a rainbow of light.

"This time, the old monster in the stone no longer has the charm of a god."

"sharp!"

"This means that he has most likely completely digested it, mastered his own power, and completely disguised himself as a Nascent Soul level."

"However, he was still very cautious and did not want to expose himself to the Shenxu Dragon King too early to prevent him from seeing through him."

"So, he didn't even meet Mr. Long and only contacted me."

"This old monster is very far-sighted. He wants to use me as a bridge to reach a cooperation with the Dragon King's forces and fight against the armies of the two countries together!"

"Then, we can proceed step by step..."

"He is different from the Shenxu Dragon King. He is alone and has no power to serve him. That's why he wants to support me."

"On the one hand, the Dragon King and I have had a grudge for a long time. From a certain perspective, the Dragon King was once our common enemy."

"On the other hand, he wanted to befriend me through the trade of spoils of war and weapons. This would lay the groundwork for his future battle with the Dragon King."

"Okay, okay."

"Old Stone Monster, I underestimated you before."

"You are really clumsy on the outside but talented on the inside, and you are very far-sighted!"

When Lu Hongtu thought of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"snort!"

"The old monster in the stone is acting so cautiously. I'm afraid he wants to compete with the Shenxu Dragon King for the Qianfeng Forest."

"Whether it's the habits of the Ten Thousand Years Earth Spirit or the extremely high value of the Thousand Peaks Forest, it means that there will be a fierce competition between the two great gods."

"After defeating the two Zhu countries, my Liudong Sect may be able to seek benefits from both parties."

"Based on my current relationship with both parties, there is a lot of potential for this."

"Okay, great!"

Sun Ning and his companion did not return immediately along the same route.

They all felt uneasy because of Lu Hongtu's weird attitude.

After all, the opponent is at the Nascent Soul level, and Ning Zhuo's magical powers can't kill him.

"Could it be possible that he has discovered that we are fake?"

With this doubt in mind, the "Old Monster in the Stone" circled around the Thousand Peaks Forest several times.

After making sure that they were not being followed, Sun Ning and the other man entered the cave, put away the stone ball, and used the Wanli Youlong to return to Canglin Fairy City.
