Chapter 418: Veterans vs. Cavalry
Luan Sheng Lin You said, "The second thing is that the old soldiers of the West Sea slaves living in Qingyunfang will gather outside of Tanyuefang in large numbers tomorrow morning and prepare to rush to the battlefield in the western border. The old soldiers who can live next to the West Sea Palace are all martial arts masters. If they form a battle formation, their combat power will be extraordinary. We must not underestimate them."
“The crisis in the western region will plunge Lingxiao City into an unprecedented state of weakness,” said Yang Shenjing.
Chao Ran of the Holy Dark Family said: "It is said that the West Sea Slaves are the best army in Lingxiao Biotope. Let the Dark Knights go and meet them tomorrow."
An Xianjing said, "There is a third thing. Something has happened to the Liang family, one of the most important arrangements of the Dao Cult in the city! Liang Chu expelled more than half of the clan members from Lingxiao City. Without control over the Liang family, it will be difficult to completely break the city defense formation."
Zen Master Liu Nian said: "The fourth thing is that Song Yulou is no longer under the control of his mind and has disappeared!"
Li Longshu said: "This is normal! It has come to this point, the court cannot be completely unprepared. If everything is really calm and nothing goes wrong, then it is really worrying. Of course, even if they take precautions, they can only struggle a little in the face of the general trend."
A woman's voice rang out from the carriage behind Fu Wenyan: "There are only three days left. We must accept any accidents that may happen. Because we took a huge risk to enter the city just to deal with these accidents."
“Wow!”
On a large area of ground, the soil began to move.
A huge yellow mud ship several dozen feet long rushed out from the ground with the skeleton of an ancient immortal giant as its mast. Ghost flags were flying, and a cold and sinister force filled the entire Chaoran Mansion.
A young man with an orchid mark on his forehead stood at the bow, his aura overshadowing everyone present: "Chanhai Guanwu is indeed extraordinary. The thirty-six ground veins arranged underground are extraordinary. With my seven thousand years of cultivation, it took me six days and five nights to cross the ground. If the ground veins are fully opened, even if the ancient emperor arrives, he can only shout helplessly."
All the martial artists present were so overwhelmed by his aura that they could hardly breathe, and they all bowed their heads slightly in greeting.
He is an overlord in the underworld of the dead, occupying dozens of states out of the 272 states and commanding nine cities, ten prefectures and twelve caves.
Directly drive the boat through the underground of Yuntian Fairyland and enter the city. Such a method can scare half of the martial artists in Lingxiao City to death.
Zen Master Liu Nian had already stood up, maintaining a saluting posture: "Master Lan, please instruct us on the next attack strategy."
The young man with the orchid mark asked, "Why? Do you want me to lead the charge and let Qilin Zang and Qingluan take all the benefits?"
“I don’t dare!”
Zen Master Liu Nian looked at everyone and said, "Then let's follow the original plan. Three days later, when Master Zang arrives, we will work together from inside and outside to capture Lingxiao City."
…
Lintai is eight hundred feet high and is mainly built with black stone.
Under the starlight, the prince of the Demon Kingdom walked step by step on the black stone steps. With every step he took, the array patterns on the steps and in the air around him would quickly dim.
He had appeared two hundred feet above the ground.
At this rate, it wouldn't take three days at all. Within one day, he could single-handedly break the formation that the Third Palace Master had carefully arranged for a thousand years and reach the top of the mountain.
The mind masters, female officials, and eunuchs in the Lintai were all trembling with fear at the aura of this peerless strong man.
Many officials knelt down beside the stone steps the moment the prince of the Demon Kingdom arrived at the Lintai, not daring to stand up or move. It was a kind of pressure that could crush even the soul.
The Third Palace Master stood at the end of the stairs, the spiritual light beneath his brows blooming like the bright moon. Even if he tried his best, he could not stop it.
…
At one o'clock in the morning, the sky turned blue.
There is a glimmer of light in the sky.
There is only half an hour left before the gates of Lingxiao City and all government offices open.
At that time, all the officials and soldiers of the court will report to the government office, and the entire city will operate precisely.
Xingyue Nu witnessed the Demonic Prince climbing halfway up the mountain before leaving Lintai and walking alone on the 100-foot-wide road. He looked dazed, his brows furrowed, and his heart seemed to be broken.
So scary!
Lintai, the formation that the Third Palace Master had built for a thousand years, was broken by half by the opponent overnight.
In the past, in her heart, the Third Palace Master was a god-like being, omnipotent.
But last night she clearly saw that even if the Third Palace Master tried his best, he could not resist at all. The defeat in the gambling game was already inevitable, and now he was just struggling to hold on.
It turns out that God is not omnipotent.
The old men from the Street Office were already cleaning the streets.
Xingyue Nu did not receive the summons for the hermits yesterday, but before she knew it, she had come to the vicinity of Danyuefang and wanted to cry bitterly. She wanted to tell the other hermits to leave Lingxiao City as soon as possible, as there was no hope for this city.
Suddenly, Xingyue Nu saw an extremely shocking scene.
A neatly-formed square array appeared on the empty and wide street.
They wore the standard armor of the Western Sea Slaves and held sabers in their hands. Almost all of them had gray hair and wore animal helmets. Some were missing arms, some were lame, some were blind, and half of them were not healthy.
But they were in high spirits, their eyes were as sharp as swords, and they were as neat as a painting.
The aura that erupted from the square formation froze the air for miles around. The fighting and killing intent scared away all pedestrians and vehicles that wanted to pass by.
The black flag of Xihainu fluttered in the wind.
Xingyue Slave stepped forward and asked one of the old commanders of the West Sea Slave, and learned that they had gathered spontaneously and would rush to the western border today, return to the West Sea Camp, and fight against the demon army.
I arrived at the Chaoran mansion where hermits gathered and knocked on the door for a long time before it opened.
The door closed and the formation was closed.
Li Weiyi dispersed the Disguise Technique and said, "All the Hidden People and Hidden People Elders evacuated yesterday. I wanted to inform you, but the news could not reach Lintai."
For some reason, Xingyue Nu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, it's good to be gone."
An hour ago, Chanhai Guanwu went to Fengge with Taishigong. She had another important matter to attend to, so she asked Li Weiyi to wait for her and she would personally send him out of the city.
Li Weiyi saw the loneliness and pain in her eyes: "What's wrong?"
Xingyue Nu then told the story of Lintai.
"The Demonic Kingdom's Crown Prince Yu Daozhen is also a top-level figure in Xiaoyaojing. It is normal that the Third Palace Master is no match for him. The formation of Lintai cannot stop him, but it does not mean that the Jiuxiaoyunwai formation, the Xianyuan formation, the city defense formation, and the thirty-six ground veins cannot stop him." Li Weiyi comforted.
Xingyue Nu was a little confused: "Everyone has left, why didn't you leave?"
"I have to stay and do the last thing." Li Weiyi said.
Xingyue Nu said, "Let me do it! I am the disciple of the Third Palace Master, and I have already decided to live and die with Lingxiao City. Give me all the intelligence information, and I will send someone to do it. When the city gate opens later, you should leave the city quickly. The situation is not right now, and the enemy may attack at any time."
"It's too late!" Li Weiyi said.
Xingyue Nu's eyes narrowed, and she realized something: "What do you mean?"
"There are only two quarters of an hour left before action." Li Weiyi said.
Xingyue Nu quickly suppressed the shock in her heart and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? All the hidden people have evacuated, and you have no manpower at all. Oh, right, we must not take action today. The Lintai is blocked by the prince of the Demon Country. Without the order of the Third Palace Master, the various government offices of the court will not be able to operate and there will be chaos. We have to wait until tomorrow at least!"
"The arrow is on the string and has to be shot."
Li Weiyi looked at her, took out a set of governor's official robes and official seals and handed them to her: "You have already broken through to the seventh level of the Dao Seed Realm, right? Hurry and put them on. Although I am a hidden person, you are a martial arts master after all. It is up to you to decide whether to fight or flee. If you choose to leave, follow me closely later."
Xingyue Nu quickly put on the governor's robe and activated the magic energy test. His eyes were filled with shock and his mind was full of questions.
"Who said I don't have enough manpower? Haven't you seen those brave men out there who have been fighting on the battlefield for at least sixty years? Eh!"
Li Weiyi let out a light exclamation, and when he sensed movement on the ground, he quickly flew over to the wall.
I saw thick evil clouds coming from the west.
The ground started to shake slightly and gradually became more violent.
Two hundred legions of dark knights, riding on crawling bone giants, came from the west and stopped a mile away from the old soldiers of the Western Sea.
The four Blood Handprint Knights, three men and one woman, were at the front. They looked at the old soldiers of the West Sea Slave Army in the distance with scrutinizing eyes.
“If they make any unusual moves later, we will intercept them and accuse them of killing Xie Chucai. Don’t worry about Lingxiao Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is over there, so we can act more recklessly.” said a Blood Handprint Knight.
"Let's go, let's get started."
Li Weiyi calculated the time, wearing the official robe of the governor, and walked towards the veteran phalanx of Xihai Slave with Xingyue Slave, one in front and one behind, and flew onto the wall of the town.
Lao Zhuang had already arranged Song Yulou to be the noodle shop owner in Minglunli. He walked out of the formation and told all the veterans present in secret: "Today, we are not going to Xihai Camp... We are guarding Lingxiao City!"
"The enemy has already arrived. There are both internal and external enemies. They are hiding in the city. There are enemies from the Demonic Kingdom, demons, cults, and dead souls. If we don't kill them all today, perhaps tomorrow, everyone in the city will be killed by them and become food for the demons, or sold to the Demonic Kingdom as playthings. All resources and treasures will be looted, leaving only a scorched earth."
"Then, the war will spread to the entire twenty-eight states! Today, we have no choice but to fight."
The veterans were only shocked for a moment at first, but the battle formation remained stable. They then shouted loudly: "Xihainu! Xihainu! Xihainu..."
They responded with this.
Li Weiyi glanced at the Dark Knights in the distance and asked quietly, "How many people can stop them?"
"Two hundred!" said an old commander.
The killing intent of the other old commander had been ignited by the shocking news from Lao Zhuang just now, and he shouted: "Those with healthy hands and feet, step out."
Two hundred against two hundred, infantry against cavalry,
Veterans against elite soldiers, horses against spears.
…
Asking for monthly ticket...
