lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!
In October of the 5th and 6th year of the Altienne calendar, Reins Tilunji under the royal capital
The ivory white pagoda in the capital of Reinsji, under the building called the national emblem, there is the same magnificent underground palace. Through the guidance of various magical buildings, it can not help but converge with the surrounding mountains and rivers. Reiki integrates energy into one.
When the Reins Civil War broke out last year, the final defense system activated by these energy sources shocked the powerful enemies from all sides. However, not many people knew that this magical palace still has infinite magical effects in non-combat periods. .
The lighting and floating objects in the ivory white pagoda are all activated by the energy of the underground palace, and when there are strong martial artists deliberately training themselves, these energy sources can also assist their practice.
While Lancelow and others were engaged in the Japanese Raiders War, many outstanding wizards of the Magic Guild received orders to come to the underground palace to set up the enchantment circle. The man who is in charge of the command is the mentor Merlin Green, who is admired by all. The enchantment spells cast are so complicated that many magisters have never seen them in their lives. They can only guess here based on the flag formations and spells on the ground. Contains the techniques of Oriental Xianshu.
Only a dozen or so mages with very old qualifications can recognize it. This is every time a martial madman appears in the white family, ignoring life and death for hard training, the Magic Guild is ordered by the chairman to send someone to cooperate with it. The magic circle of the surrounding mountains and rivers is pressed from all directions to the center of the circle. The practitioner condenses his whole body to resist. As long as he makes a control error, he will be crushed into a pool of blood and mud by this innocent force.
At that time, the power of the heavens had not yet reappeared. Many white masters who tried their lives but sought a breakthrough were all broken into pieces in this suicide practice. Instead, the magic circle became a weapon for the Reins royal family to eradicate powerful enemies. Until the tenth generation of Bai Jinxing, the Patriarch of the Bai family, successfully practiced here and gained the power of heaven; later, his descendant Bai Junhuang inherited such will and power; and the last time he used this circle to practice, he He is a child of the Bai family whose name is not recorded in the genealogies ─ ─ Bai Qi.
At this moment, the enchantment array with a radius of ten feet is densely painted with countless runes in black and red. Every few feet, there is an apricot and yellow flag that also painted a spell. On the outer circle are twelve large round bronze mirrors that are the same height as people, reflecting the light towards the center.
The center of the magic circle is a crypt like a whirlpool. As energy flows in and out, it suddenly sinks and rises again, as if the surface is breathing quietly. Although I can't see it because of the angle, I can vaguely feel that there seems to be something inside the crypt...
Responsible for the operation of this huge circle is Mei Lin, the oldest magister of the current magister guild. She looked like an ordinary girl, sitting alone on the periphery of the magic circle, closing her eyes concentratingly, sensing the flow of air in the entire space.
The entire Magic Guild, who has a deep understanding of magic and oriental magic, is the only one. In other words, as long as she is alone, it is enough to control the energy operation of this magic circle.
"Hello, teacher."
For the sake of confidentiality and security, this circle is not allowed to be approached by others, and can freely shuttle through more than one hundred protective barriers. Except for Meilin herself, there is only the former Reins who can invalidate all barriers. Queen ─ ─ Cang Yue grass.
"How is the situation here? The energy impulse is getting bigger and bigger, can the underground palace bear it?"
Xiaocao bowed to his respected teacher. As scruples interfered with the confluence of energy, she only appeared as a magical image projection. As the surrounding brilliance changed, her figure became clear and hazy like fog.
"Don’t worry, the entire protective measures are the same as those of the Bailudong Eternal Ice Cave. Lu You practiced in the same facility for two thousand years, and the ice cave did not necessarily collapse. Unless this kid has the ability to break through the strong heaven, otherwise You can't destroy this circle."
"So, how long will it take? The situation in the free city is tight, I think he must be very worried..."
"Although the most difficult stage is over, it will take three months to achieve the expected results. The Eltinos have not been killed. What is the point of the war?"
Looking at the awkward grass, Mei Lin looked like a little girl with a tantrum, with her arms folded, sitting on the stone ground in anger.
"Teacher..."
"This is a punishment for you. Who told you to play tricks while I was away? Something is not easy to practice. You have to make fun of yourself. The descendants of the Bai family are not dead yet. What are you doing in such a hurry to practice the sixth art? It’s all the children I grew up watching, why don’t all of them cherish themselves so much?"
As soon as Meilin said, Xiaocao lowered her head in shame. For her, this elder has a noble position equal to that of her mother. She cared for herself with great care, and she really didn't want to make her sad. However, I do not regret it, because there are some things I must do.
"I'm very sorry, teacher...but, can't the time be shortened? Three months is too long."
The current situation is dim and unclear. What will happen in three months? Xiaocao really doesn't know. To put it more extreme, it is not impossible to kill people at the door of Jixia after three months.
As long as there is no major loss in the existing strength, even if you kill someone at the door of Jixia, you are not afraid, you can plan a plan, and slowly recover; but the husband is a man of love and sex, if this What happened within a period of time made him excited, then such retreat is not only useless, but harmful.
"A lot of things can’t be rushed, my daughter, when you tried to decipher the second scroll of the Heavenly Devil Sutra, I told you that, and told you that even if the deciphering is successful, the vitality of heaven and earth and the movement of people’s hearts are not as useless as before. .You can successfully crack it recently and get the dragon mysterious treasure sky cloud sword to practice the law. This is the result of your hard work, but it is also the predecessor method. Once you fall together, you have your own definite number."
Feeling Xiaocao's anxiety, Meilin also had to face up.
"The transformation of heavenly demon is an important hurdle for the practice of heavenly demon art. In addition to the cooperation of aptitude, perseverance, and cultivation level, it also takes time. What's more, you also guided the hearts of the people and strengthened the emperor’s spirit... It took Temujin three full years. This big monkey may not be better than Temujin. Isn’t it worth three months?"
The battle of the Free City Alliance not only affected Reins, but also affected martial arts. In particular, what kind of attitude Wang Wu, who is in charge of martial arts and military power in one hand, will adopt, is extremely doubtful.
From the very beginning, he made it clear that no matter how the surrounding countries are in chaos, as long as they don’t enter the martial state, martial arts will not intervene. After expressing this message, although Chen Bingwu refines the border, he only prevented the Eltinus army from invading again, and at the same time admitted refugees who fled into the country, and issued strict orders on the army not to cross the border in any way.
This practice caused an uproar in Wulian. It can even be said that if the person who ordered the order was not Wang Wu, and replaced by another leader, an armed coup would have erupted long ago.
The folk style of the Wulian Orcs is strong, brave and combative. This time, Zhou Gongjin's outstanding soldiers have crossed the martial arts territory and captured most of the free cities in one fell swoop. If this incident is to humiliate the Wulian Orcs, as soon as the news comes out, The various tribes in the martial arts are in anger, clamoring to show the Eltinos good-looking.
This situation is especially fierce within the Wangzi family. In addition to being provoked by the Second Army, there is another reason that is difficult to explain. After Zhou Gongjin's army suppressed Jerusalem, the elders of the clan finally spoke. .
"Fifth Young Master, you can see this incident today, the people can bear it, the Twenty-Six Young Master can't wait!"
Wang Wu ranks fifth in the family, and is the most popular figure among the children of the Wang Zi family, but there is another person who is second only to Wang Wu in popularity, the 26th son of the former Wang Family Patriarch── Wang Xizhi.
At the time of the Wulian Jinhua Rebellion, Wang Xizhi disregarded his family's position and led a group of young children to join Kublai’s camp. After the war, he escaped and fled to a free city. Wang Wu announced that he would be expelled from the house, and no one was allowed to mention his name again. However, Wang Xizhi's generosity to be a chivalrous man, and his children of the lower generations, even though people are in a free city, the righteous actions of chivalry are often passed back to martial arts, this In the face of Zhou Gongjin's army pressure, all his relatives and friends in Wulian were anxious, hoping to send troops to help.
It's just that, Wang Wu, who has always been gentle, has a face like frost, and he warns that no one will mention it again. For a time, the atmosphere of Wang Zi's family is tense, and it is in a deadlock. Everyone only hopes that Wang Wu's wife, Gongsun Chuqian, can make him change his mind.
"I can’t help twenty-six brothers. Compatriots in martial arts are passionate and passionate. If they are brought into war, they will end up endlessly. There is no such thing as a war that can be victorious in all battles. Use the lives of your compatriots as a bet. As long as Eltinol does not commit martial arts, then... even if the twenty-sixth brother must be sacrificed, I will...
I can only watch it mercilessly here. "
In front of his wife, Wang Wu does not need to hide, he can speak the truth. In the past, he secretly maintained contacts with Wang Xizhi, and he never concealed these things from his beloved wife.
Gongsun Chuqian knew that this man who kept saying that he was ruthless was actually far more affectionate than his resoluteness, and based on the current people’s expectations of herself, she was only concerned about one thing, that is, being able to Continue to work with this man and cherish the feelings I currently have.
"Don't look at me like this. I said that if you don't interfere, you won't interfere."
***Wang Wu smiled awkwardly on the beautiful face of his wife, and said: "No matter how much I say, I will not leave the martial arts. No matter how fast the flight of the heavenly warrior, I will have to rush to Jerusalem from here. For more than three days, I’m not Mr. Bai Qi. If something really happens in Jerusalem, even if I want to go, it’s too late. With that said, you can feel relieved, right?"
Under the faint starlight, Gongsun Chuqian's smile was bright and beautiful. She held her husband's big, gentle hand and kissed it gently in the palm of her palm.
"My husband is an unparalleled dog in the world. As long as he is determined, he will not lose to anyone, so I am not at ease, because...from the day we met, you have been a duplicity man ."
※※※
Since the Eltinus Army invaded the Free City in late September, the cities of the cities, regardless of their size, quickly declared their fall. Antwerp, which is geographically located in the east-central region, was also broken into the city by Zhou Gongjin not long ago and was incorporated into the territory of Eltinol.
Without relying on personal strength, Gong Jin insisted on plundering the city with orthodox art of war. This approach caused many people to laugh at him, "This is Zhou Gongjin’s weakness. So I don’t dare to use it casually. Now is the age of the Celestial War. The city can be broken in less than an hour. What is the point of breaking through the city in one day?” This argument is not only a free city, but also everywhere in the Continent of Wind. smell.
However, in the eyes of the decision makers of several major forces, Gong Jin insisted on adopting traditional warfare approach, but revealed another message, representing that he attacked the free city, not merely using force to make peace, or reaching a certain These political purposes, but seriously want to annex the free city.
The destructive power of the power of the heavens is truly unparalleled. It is only necessary for a few masters of the heavens to bombard the air frantically for a few days to simply cause destruction on the scale of today in the free city. But in this way, people will be frightened and afraid of this abnormal force, but will not be convinced. When this abnormal force disappears one day, people who are dissatisfied will immediately try to challenge and raise the flag of rebellion.
Military occupation is necessary, because in addition to force, only by allowing the occupying party to have intensive contact with the occupied party, can the goal be achieved through understanding and assimilation. This is Gong Jin's idea, and he also uses practical methods to let the decision makers of the major forces understand his determination.
"El Tienor is serious, I don't know what will happen this time..."
Factors other than Eltinus have such confusion, but the matter is actually very simple. If Gong Jin is defeated in the battle of Jerusalem, the coalition forces of the free city will take advantage of the gap to counterattack and take his previous accumulated victories all the way. Get it back; if Gong Jin wins, then after giving a heavy blow to the resistance, the final victory or defeat will be decided in Shangri-La.
The battle of Jerusalem is of such decisive significance. Therefore, no matter which side the supporters are, they should be cautious. Especially in the free city side, in order to resist the invaders, many volunteers rushed to Jerusalem to join the volunteer army. Prepare to fight to the death with the Eltinos and sweep them out of the country in one fell swoop.
This kind of momentum has made the atmosphere of the entire free city go up and down. Even in the occupied areas that have fallen, there are still people breaking through the interception net of the Eltinus army and trying to rush to Jerusalem.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see the surrounding area of Jerusalem, which is rapidly increasing the number of camps and people. If you look far away, a large number of people are approaching here, but this is something above the surface. Below the surface, in places that could not be seen by pure eyesight, there were other travelers coming in this direction.
Among them, there are Reins, the prime minister on the left, Youxue, and his guardian Hante...Although Hante has quite a bit of criticism about this name, at least Xuexue positioned the relationship between the two in this way, because there is no With actual combat ability, once he encounters an enemy, he can only let Hante go out and charge into the battle. He took the opportunity to put oil on his feet and called him a guard, which can be said to be worthy of his name.
"Guard? Don't even think about it. How come I, Han, do this kind of work? If you don't pay me, you don't want me to help you out."
"Death for money, I remember you don’t seem to have a surname Han. Even the Xuete people have to blackmail you, and you are too unconscionable. Look at that dead white Wuji. He is just because he took too much injustice. Cai, that’s why he was divided into nine segments on the street. You took more black money than him, and the strokes of your name were more than him. If you don’t repent, let alone nine segments, you will be divided into ninety segments."
It's really unwise to argue with Xuete. You Xue first mocked Hante's demon origin, and then used Bai Wuji's example to suppress him. Anyway, Prime Minister Bai has already died, I heard The curse wouldn't come to him to settle the accounts, he took the opportunity to make a fuss, and suppressed this devil who is desperate for money.
Hant has long since given up his plan to fight with the Snowman. What's more, he still wants him at the moment, and he can't turn his face on him rashly.
The reason why Hante must travel with Youxue is because of the magic weapon in Yuxue's hands, the scroll of the last ninja teacher in the misty stream. Although the two of them are still a little unclear, why a scroll that records the secret recipe of noodle cooking has the magical powers of ninjutsu, so that the two can escape underground without hindrance? And why did you only react in Yuxue's hands, and changed to Hante's possession, and the power effect disappeared immediately?
"Should not..."
Hant suddenly thought of something. When he was a mercenary on Alcatraz Island, a fellow from Japan mentioned some ninja sect rules, including the inheritance of ninja secrets.
"I’ve heard people say before that, in order to prevent the ninja from being searched after death, or leaking secrets, they often use secret books or secret pieces on their bodies. The most common example is to change some Less conspicuous cover."
In this way, even Yuxue understands, looked at the scroll in his hand in surprise, and trembled: "You mean, this thing... is not about making noodles, but the highest of the misty stream. Ninjutsu secrets?"
"I'm just speculating like this. I don't understand Japanese. God knows what ninjutsu noodles are written in it? But which noodle recipes have you seen that will take the holder to the sky?"
"I...I can only read the Japanese in the book of Bliss Toyoung, but... what you said seems to make sense."
Thinking of the tragic death of Wuyin Guizang, but leaving behind this scroll, regardless of its importance, Yuxue's hands suddenly tightened, and her heart was excited and nervous. I have been in the center of national power for so long, and I haven’t gotten any benefits. Now it’s pitiful to see that there is a secret book in my hands. This is also considered a feng shui turn. As long as the secret book is sold, it will definitely be possible. ...
Hant saw Youxue's face full of excitement, thinking that he was ecstatic to get the secret book, but he guessed that he was trying to resell the secret book at a high price, and immediately snorted and said: "Fatty, want to do It’s too early to dream. Don’t forget that someone is following us above. If you get overwhelmed and are discovered by others, your body will really be divided into more than ninety segments after a while."
Previously, Yu Xue rescued Hante from the dungeon. The two were about to break out of the ground. When rushing to Jerusalem, Hante suddenly stopped and told Yu Xue that he had been discovered and an enemy was pursuing him. , A tough battle is inevitable; if there is snow, he immediately used the scroll to escape, and walked down the ground with Hante.
The enemy seems not very good at tracking the breath of the underground. When the two of them escaped deep underground and moved slowly, Hante said that he could not feel the breath of the enemy.
"But...who is the enemy? If we can fly in the sky and track us, we are all masters of heaven, right? There are not many masters of heaven..."
Youxue calculated the famous single, and said in deep thought: "Couldn't it be...you kiss Xiao Chunchun?"
The two of them were hooking their shoulders and leaning on their backs together, leaning on the scrolls to escape underground, but when Xue Xue said something, they immediately knew that it was not good, and Hante's breathing sounded loudly beside him, when You Xue turned his head. , He was already flushed, gritted his teeth, staring straight ahead with divergent eyes, clenched fists desperately, and the crisp bones rubbed endlessly, as if he was about to rush out to fight the imaginary enemy who didn't exist in the front.
"Wow! Oops, the money-demanding madness is happening again!"
You Xue almost wailed. He really didn't understand, but it was his sister who killed his father. Was there such a big blow? I actually lost my mind every time I heard the name, but fortunately I knew what to do with it.
"Hey, Hante, Jinshan! Jinshan! There is a big golden mountain over there!"
Specially used to deal with the madman who is addicted to money, this Bailing first aid method, this time it worked when about the tenth sound was shouted.
"Ah? Jinshan? Where is my Jinshan?"
"Well, you are finally willing to wake up? This is the seventh time you are on the way. You are not annoying, I am annoyed, I beg you, wait until we get out of the ground, will you have rabies again, OK? "
"Sorry, this is my fault..."
The most ugly ugly state fell into You Xue’s eyes, and Hante could only apologize in a slanderous manner, otherwise he would wait a moment for the madness to reappear, this narrow-minded Snowman turned his face, and he would be abandoned in the ground in a crazy state. , Waiting for the day when the sane reply.
In order to pull the topic apart, Hante said that according to his own guesses, it must be Kiris to track down his two powerful opponents at the top. If you have Xue, you are very curious. What exactly is that black-skinned monster? Although I heard that he is the prince of the demon clan, he is only the royal bloodline. Is there really that much difference?
"No, the prince is not terrible, the mad prince is terrible. It's like the devil power is powerful, but not unbreakable, but if it is performed by a mad master, anyone who looks at it will want to escape."
"You mean, just because that guy is crazy, so you are all afraid of him?"
"It's not all like this... Back then, Kiris rampaged the Demon Realm, and the tribes that were extinct in his hands were all three-digit numbers. The residents of the Demon Realm treated him as a plague. What frightens him is because it is said that among the heirs of His Majesty Yinzhen, he is the only one who has undergone the Heavenly Demon Transformation."
"The devil's poop? What do you mean? Is the devil's poop? Your master is afraid of a poop?"
"It’s not that. It’s said that the Heavenly Demon Transformation is an important part of the Heavenly Demon Art. The inhabitants of the Demon Realm have heard from word of mouth that it is a... Really achieved great results. The outstanding great demon kings of the past must have undergone the demon transformation, but whether it can be completed depends on personal aptitude and perseverance. Not everyone who makes the demon transformation can succeed."
Following Lancelow for a long time, even if he doesn’t know martial arts, Youxue knows what Lancelow is practicing. Hearing Hante’s words, he curiously said: “It sounds like very good, so why doesn’t my boss have This change?"
"So... your monkey is a waste!"
Without concealing his contempt, Hante didn’t have a lot of affection for Lancelow. Although he had done things for Reins several times, he only recognized money and didn’t recognize people. To be honest, if you really want to Choose, I would rather be led by Bai Wuji or Zhou Gongjin.
"My thoughts are different from yours on this point. It is not safe to follow my boss, but at least the casualties are due to dealing with the enemy, not because of being betrayed by my own leader. If it is the second child or iron It’s hard to talk about the face ladyboy."
Youxue murmured: "So I have always been worried, will I kiss Xiao Chunchun..."
"Roar! Roar! Roar~~~"
"Wow! I'm sorry, I was wrong, Hante, Jinshan, Jinshan!"
"Woo...what happened to me just now? You fat Xuet, don't keep playing with people, okay! My brain is about to be blown by you."
"I'm sorry, but... it's really fun. As long as you mention a specific word, you will immediately drool, and no one will believe it when you say it."
"Well, it's really interesting. It seems to be very fun. How about discussing it and letting me have fun too?"
A sudden sentence made the two comrades who were entangled suddenly stunned. First confirm that the sentence did not come from themselves or the other party, and then confirm that the current location is still hundreds of feet below the surface. The rock formations are surrounded by thick and dense earth and rocks. It is impossible for passers-by to insert a word by the way.
When all this was definitely over, the two of them looked back at the same time, and there was a dark-skinned young man wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants who was rubbing his sharp nails while smiling brightly.
"Qi, Kiris?"
Just now they screamed, the shoulders of the two were tightened, and they were caught by one of the claws, followed by a body leaning over, laughing in a hidden but gloomy voice: "Have the ability, there is a way to escape here, let's play again, and try how far you two can go this time."
※※※
"Offensive! The third and fourth teams follow me, and the rest guard the door."
"The action is fast, I said that I will withdraw, do you think the iron-faced ladyboy will give you a second chance?"
In the center of the vortex of fierce battle, Nier screamed, leading the cavalry with excellent equipment, high martial skills, tacit understanding and training but obviously insufficient, ignoring the dense rain of swords and arrows, and shuttled back and forth in the enemy's formation, time and time again. , Accumulated blood and corpses wherever it went.
On the night before, the Eltinos launched a surprise attack. Because the Jerusalem side was already prepared, this attack was not a surprise attack. Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides. After each left a certain number of victims, this The battle can be regarded as the prelude.
However, Nier discovered that the problem was unusual before the war broke out.
"What? No one here in Jerusalem knows how to lead soldiers? Are you called the Four Horsemen of the White Nights? Why do you only ride horses and not fight?"
Two days ago, Nier originally thought that she was just a temporary guest, and she should follow the master's tactical command and assign positions after the start of the war. This was enough. However, when she casually asked about the war arrangements like a chatter, Wang Youjun's simple answer made her almost fall off the horse.
"What? This is not a briefing? You call such a messy thing called a tactical plan? Appointing intermediate commanders to perform separately, and it cannot be simplified to this point. This is not called each, you make it clear that it is given to the enemy. It’s broken, aren’t the disciples in Bailudong all literary and martial arts talents?"
"Yes, I learned internal strength and swordsmanship in Bailu Cave. I have obtained the qualifications of professors with my prosody in parallel writing. I have deep research in Taoism. Besides, my proud calligraphy can be called the world..."
"Enough, the two armies are at war, will the Eltinos ask you for an autograph? I now finally know why Kublai was defeated in the end during the Jinhua Rebellion..."
"There is a specialization in the art industry, not everyone who practices martial arts is a war genius!"
In just a few words, Nier was in a cold sweat. Although the current battle, the battle of heaven is the decisive factor. If you cannot gain an advantage in the battle of heaven, the victory of the ground battle will be reversed at any time, but if the ground battle is defeated and lost, even if the battle of heaven is won, it cannot be reversed. The fact that one's own side suffered heavy casualties is also a big defeat.
To ask a little deeper, the Knights Templar in Jerusalem, although originally known as one of the three knights of the Continent of Wind, it refers to equipment and average martial arts. However, no matter how high the average quality of an army is, if it neglects training and does not have a tacit understanding of fighting with each other, it will be less than 40% of its strength on the battlefield.
The knights of Jerusalem usually carry out disaster relief and donate supplies. They never intervene in the war to show the clergy’s lofty position. They have won a great reputation, but the price paid is that when Nier was summoned urgently for questioning. The officers of all knights answered all the questions.
"Charge bravely? You are not called bravery. It is clear that you took Ji Lang to commit suicide. It depends on the situation!"
A little bit of inquiry, Nier already felt that she was about to faint, and in the end she could only confirm with Wang Youjun with a trace of luck, and then get the worst answer.
"To put it simply, the appointment of Captain Michael is because of her martial arts and good deeds, not because of her ability to command in battle?"
"Of course, our clergy is anti-war. If you appoint a **** war madman as the leader, how do you explain to the gods and believers? The leader has a strong combat ability, but he has never been in this life. Over the battlefield."
"...If my **** sister tells me this first, I will definitely not come to Jerusalem to accompany you to death."
In desperation, Nier had no choice but to take the initiative to grab the command and take charge of Gong Jin's offensive and defensive on the ground.
In terms of her qualifications as a soldier, Ni'er is far from being a genius in military science. If she was asked to be the coach and confront the well-known star Zhou Gongjin, she felt a sense of the seriousness of the matter. Inexplicably anxious.
It’s just that I have served as a commander at the North Gate Tianguan for a period of time, and have actually experienced several offensive and defensive battles. Under Gengoro’s training, Nier has a wealth of military experience, compared with the generals in Jerusalem. , Her military capability is the strongest. What's more, just looking at the guerrilla ability with a small number of cavalry to disrupt the enemy brigade, coming and going, even Gong Jin has to sigh.
"Look at that girl, on a dusty battlefield, she can still have such a sense of beauty. It's really rare...
The cavalry who rushed into the army, under her leadership, have increased their mobility by at least 20%, and their movements are so agile and beautiful, they are almost ready for textbooks. "
If Nier knew that Gong Jin, who was watching the battle in the enemy line, gave her such an evaluation, she would be very proud.
However, through her influence, the nickname of Marshal Zhou Gongjin has become popular in the world since then. This is something that Gongjin regrets.
"I do wear a mask, but in life, who doesn't wear a mask? Also, I don't see the relationship between wearing a mask and a shemale?"
When the battlefield shouted "cut down the head of the iron-faced ladyboy" and "Iron-faced ladyboy go to hell", Gong Jin looked annoyed at the staff around him and saw that they all wanted to be angry, but There are some smiling expressions.
For one or two days of fighting, the two sides suffered deaths and injuries to each other, and there was no obvious victory or defeat. Although it occupies a convenient location, Nier leads a knights that is inferior in number, and lacks tacit understanding and training. Against the undefeated Eltinus army, it is already amazing to be able to fight to such a degree. , Even the degree of abnormality.
The benefits of victory are obvious. Nier had just taken over the cavalry team before and analyzed the situation to the officers. When explaining the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves, several people angrily accused her of "badging" Jerusalem and the people of the true god. It was a spy who had different intentions. As a result, Wang Youjun had to come out to enforce the military law, so that order could be maintained.
After a few battles, Nier was treated completely differently. Every time she led her army back to the city, a large number of soldiers and people blocked the road and competed to present her with praise and flowers.
"Marshal Nier! You are amazing."
"Please lead us and drive the Eltinos out, justice will prevail, and the only true God will prevail!"
After taking the lesson of Nier's anger once or twice, no one in Jerusalem dared to call her "Marshal Yamamoto" face to face, but Nier felt very upset in the face of such support and praise.
In the past at Beimen Tianguan, every time the battle was over, Gengoro would ask her to issue military orders to let all the sergeants relax and relax appropriately, but also took various measures to suppress the pride in the army and let them Understand that there is still a hard connection, do not be careless, and do not relax your vigilance.
But in Jerusalem, it seems difficult to do it, especially since my orders cannot be implemented, which is very troublesome. After all, I am still just an outsider. Moreover, the atmosphere in the last few days has been dull. Although the iron-faced ladyboy has launched an attack, from his own point of view, he lacks the overwhelming courage of his usual city-breaking attacks, and only tentative attacks.
Perhaps because of the different levels of strength, Zhou Gongjin had to be cautious and put away the unreserved offensive methods of the past! Otherwise, is it deliberately playing psychological warfare, so that the defending side has a arrogant mentality? However, given the lack of supplies and the spread of disease in the army, can the Eltinus still have a way to delay it?
Just calculations, there are countless possibilities. Without Gengoro by his side, Nier could not figure it out. The feeling of boredom became stronger and stronger. When he entered the city and saw the rush of cheering crowds, Nier's anger was also rising. , I saw another guy in Tsing Yi, who seemed to be called McDonald or something, clapping his hands and walking towards him, his entire anger exploded.
"Miss Nier's heroic posture, we admire very much, it is simply a butterfly in the wind, it is too..."
She couldn't finish her words, Nier turned her back from the horse with a very neat skill, grabbed the other's shoulders with both hands, and then hit her with a head hammer. In a hurry, neither of them had the power of heaven. After a muffled and painful grunt, Ni'er let go, and the other party had fallen down.
"Oh? Miss Nier, did Brother McDonald do anything wrong? Why are you..."
"Wang Youjun!"
Amidst the young girl’s anger, the same grabbing by the shoulders, Wang Youjun even caught it upright before he could dodge, and then hit the forehead with a vicious head hammer, amidst the muffled sound, this contemporary calligraphy Everyone's mind was spinning around, and they almost fell to the ground.
"Ah? A handsome girl with long legs, how do you meet people..."
I haven't heard this sound very much, but it's vaguely familiar. Nier's beating is happy, she turns around instinctively, and grabs her shoulder with another head hammer. The sound was much louder this time, but after the impact was muffled, the wailing sound was a bit weird, and it was actually the voice of an old man.
"You... are you?"
Nier was really taken aback, because the victim who fell on the ground was no one else, but the Eastern Profound Dragon who had crossed with Lancelot, the owner of the Eastern family.
※※※
Reinforcements from the Eastern family also arrived in Jerusalem. For Nier, this is really a happy event. Although it’s a pity that the Celestial Power has only increased by one member, considering the strength of the Dongfang Family, Nier doesn’t think they can send three or five more. It’s enough to show sincerity just because the Patriarch personally comes. .
Nevertheless, she was not polite in her mouth, as if she was deliberately picking bones in an egg, she kept scribbling about this old disrespect, who had been salivating, staring at her from behind. Old **** man with white and slender legs.
"What are you joining forces to fight the enemy? Your Dongfang family has no sincerity at all. You are the only one and the supply team here. Why don't you send more troops?"
"Yes, your eldest brother Xinna's concubine is also from my Dongfang family. If she also comes to help, you can't say that we only send one person."
"Nonsense old man, you also said that it was my elder brother's little wife, how can this count?"
"Why do you mind this? If you just want to compare the number of people, Jerusalem's walls and army are enough. If these are not enough to determine the outcome, then no amount of people will be useful."
Nier had to admit that when the old man put away Se Mimi’s smiling face and walked forward with his hands in a calm expression, he did give people a kind of suzerain style and taught people not to underestimate his identity as the Eastern Patriarch. .
Dongfang Xuanlong said that after the second demonic shock in Japan, the Dongfang family was also affected. Although there were a few more beginners and promising players who entered the small heavens, they couldn’t control their own power at all. , Once on the battlefield, before hurting the enemy, first hurt yourself. At this time, sending them to be hostile to the masters of El Tienor was simply sending them out to commit suicide.
"So, my old bones have to come out and work their lives. Alas, education is really troublesome. I would send them all to the Snow Mountain if I knew it. The elderly should enjoy the blessing at home and touch the beautiful chicks. My **** is right..."
In the first part, Nier nodded frequently when she heard it, but she didn't know that this sentence would suddenly appear in the end. Fang was amazed, and gave the old man the opportunity to give her elastic buttocks a big shot, and then laughed wildly. Rushed out.
"You old man!"
It’s too late to chase after him. After all, the opponent is a professional pervert with hundreds of years of experience. Even Oda Ka will be amazed at the speed at which he can escape without a trace, let alone like Gengoro, every time. Afterwards, she stood there blankly, letting her beat him up.
However, Nier is not really angry, because I heard Gengoro said before that after Bai Wuji was assassinated and fell, this always energetic old man seemed to be old, like losing Like a confidant, he seemed very disheartened. If he was regaining his spirits by acting like this now, he should really be happy for him.
On the other hand, the food and grass delivered by the Eastern family did help a lot. The Eastern Xuanlong also brought news that Zhou Gongjin didn't seem to plan to make a quick fight, but gradually encircled Jerusalem from outside.
With his superior strength, he is indeed capable of doing this, but considering the current series of internal worries of the Second Army, the leadership of Jerusalem can't help but be astonished, because if the war continues, there will be a shortage of food and the epidemic will spread. The Tienaw army was even more unable to sustain it than Jerusalem, which was surrounded but had plenty of food and grass.
"But you have to pay attention. On the way here, I saw the Eltinos release falcons and cheetahs and formed a team to completely cut off the external intelligence contact here."
The intelligence brought by the Eastern Xuanlong is very precious, so that Jerusalem knows how to take measures.
"On the surface, Brother Gong Jin cut off all our external contacts, so that we can no longer get information from the outside, nor can we spread the news."
Even if the war started, Wang Youjun still called Gongjin his senior. If he were to be replaced elsewhere, someone would openly question his loyalty to him, but this did not happen here, which made Nier feel very Fortunately, because if you were in that kind of environment, you wouldn't be able to stay for a while.
"Don't you Bailudong children use Eastern Immortal? Put a water mirror or something, and you will be able to communicate with each other immediately."
"This is generally the case, but the second brother is the strongest person in Bailudong with the strongest Taoist cultivation base. He has already planted an enchantment of spiritual wave interference nearby. We have just tested that all water mirrors are It's vague and can't be passed on."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone knew that the matter was serious, but Wang Youjun still seemed quite calm.
"If the second brother’s plan is really so extensive, it will be difficult for us to send envoys or animals to communicate with the outside world. The only way to break through the blockade is to send celestial combat power, but doing so will not Not cost-effective."
Wang Youjun said: "It's just that the second elder brother still underestimated us. Maybe after a long period of observation, he has mastered all the channels through which the Brothel Alliance transmits intelligence in the past, but there are still some things that he doesn't know, and that is technology."
Even if it was a military meeting, Michael didn't attend. Everyone didn't even know where she was. The only ones in charge were Wang Youjun and Madonna. Under their leadership, Ni'er and the Eastern Xuanlong passed through more than a dozen buildings and came to a deserted courtyard.
For a few days, Nier knew that many buildings in Jerusalem were closed due to disrepair for a long time, waiting for maintenance and opening. Usually, because of the busy military affairs, she has no time to wander around, but now as Wang Youjun goes deep into this courtyard, she sees deserted There are many stone piles among the grass and trees, scattered irregularly, one in the east and one in the west, seemingly messy, but there are some unspeakable fluctuations in the air.
"This is..."
"The equipment of the Chiba family...remains have not been used for about two thousand years, right? Although they seem to have been abandoned, they can still be used in emergency."
Wang Youjun's calm explanation surprised Nier. She once heard Gengoro mentioned that behind the Brothel Alliance, there is a deeper and larger organization named Chiba, which is longer than the Brothel Alliance, and has secretly influenced the movement of the Wind Continent since the Kyushu War. . Although these matters are highly classified, it is not surprising that Wang Youjun would know, but judging from the calm tone of his speech, his relationship with this organization is deeper than expected!
"Don't care too much, I don't have anything special, but...just like I am a paladin in Jerusalem, but also a child of Bailudong. Now the heavenly warriors have multiple roles."
Wang Youjun said: "In the Jerusalem area, as well as in several nearby cities, there used to be a prosperous ancient civilization. Later, the civilization collapsed. People built cities on the ruins, centered on the current Jerusalem. Generations will choose appropriate administrators to guard these relics, most of which are for their own people, but occasionally they also choose trusted outsiders to serve as guardians... Maybe this is also the way the Chiba family absorbs new blood. Come on!"
Raising his hand high, Wang Youjun volleyed and pressed against several stone piles, and McDonald also moved the other stone piles towards a specific position.
"No matter how prosperous the civilization back then, it is just a pile of wasteland relics. I feel that the setting of a religious group here is a very appropriate choice. It’s just that I can’t think of these relics. It can be used for military purposes one day."
When the arrangement of Wang Youjun and Madonna was completed, the light blue brilliance wandered among the rocks, faint and flaming, continuously forming different shapes.
Wang Youjun took out an old scroll and flipped through it while pressing on the stone pile. With his movements, the light array in the stone pile became more and more dazzling, and blue and purple awns were strung together densely. The five-pointed star and the six-pointed star ran out of many irregular bright patterns. The colorful lights reflected on the faces of the four people present were all strange and magnificent.
"As explained in the manual, we are now using a signal called Morse code. When we send out from here, Shangri-La will receive it. No matter how the situation evolves, we can rely on this system. Relic system, external contact."
Wang Youjun said: "But this is also our last channel. If the second brother really wants to block us, he will definitely send heavenly combat power to attack this ruin, so we must be careful."
Nier next to her nodded when she heard this, but she was secretly amused. Why is this always the case? The latest and most secret technologies are all useless. It is always necessary to dig out some old relics thousands of years ago to solve the problem. Doesn't this represent the development of civilization for thousands of years? Is it all wasted?
Fang thought for himself, but a word quietly came from the Eastern Xuanlong beside him.
"Girl, be careful, no matter what the situation is, to this place...you are always an outsider."
※※※
The next day, for Nier, who is in charge of military affairs, there was a strange change in the situation.
It’s only after a few days of offensive and defensive battles, and the casualties are not fierce, but the Second Army is in a state of fatigue. Both the death toll and the defensive support are much worse than the previous few days. Nier led the team. When charging, I felt as if I could cut the enemy line easily, coming and going freely.
Even, under Nier's attack, for the first time, the Eltinus Army became unbearable and moved its position backward. When many Eltinus soldiers ran away in a hurry, they were chased by the Templars on horseback, a shot penetrated the body, and after a few efforts, countless corpses appeared on the ground.
After the battle of the day was over, the Eltinos hurriedly collected the bodies of the dead and retreated the camp two miles.
From the perspective of Jerusalem, this is simply a harbinger of a great victory. The knights and fighters rejoiced. After returning to the city, they roared with excitement after another. They even forgot the prohibition of drinking alcohol during the war. After the wine syrup offered by the people, sipping savagely, the city is as lively as a festive event, contrary to the cautious and fearful atmosphere a few days ago.
In this atmosphere, the cadres of the Knights Templar and their temporary coach broke out fiercely.
"Yes, there is a shortage of food in the Eltinos army and the epidemic is spreading. They also divided their troops to encircle Jerusalem, resulting in a weak lineup and unable to stop our impact. These tactical disadvantages led to the defeat of the enemy. , Do you think I don’t know these?"
Nier knocked on the wall hard, and said angrily: "The problem is, it's so simple to win, don't you think it is weird?
The Second Army is the chief soldier of El Tienor. It came from thousands of miles and conquered most of the free city. Is it just to hold hands and give us victory? "
In charge of an army, the responsibility is not just to bring the army to victory. In many cases, troubles only appear after the victory. In the past, Nier had Goro to rely on. He always made appropriate suggestions before the problem occurred. After the war, he often ignored his wry smile and unceremoniously asked him to take care of it, and ran to sleep on his own. Now... Nier has to rely on herself for everything.
The situation was more troublesome than expected. When she yelled, "I don't think I am so great, I will let the enemy take the initiative to give me credit." The knights in the room, with a natural expression, responded, "Really What is remarkable is the **** of heaven, through Miss Nier to bring victory to the knights with pious belief", Nier, who heard this answer, kicked out on the spot.
"Written with a brush! Get out of me!"
Nier, who was almost upset, found Wang Youjun on the tower.
The night was very deep. He did not participate in any celebration activities. He was just dressed in a simple white dress with a sword and a knife. In the chilly strong wind, he commanded the soldiers to look at the Eltinus army from the tower. The position, monitoring every move over there, maintains vigilance.
"I finally know now, why the Bai family wants to seize the power of Reins?" Nier said angrily: "If you give the military power to you religious fanatics, Reins would have been subjugated 800 years ago, you guys. The idiots are going to ascend to heaven together, go and meet your bird gods!"
These words may not matter in other places, but in a religious holy city like Jerusalem, that is the most serious crime of disrespect. The soldiers around immediately changed their faces, and some even clenched the gun with obvious eyes. hostility.
"You all go down first. I want to communicate with the deputy head to deal with a little misunderstanding."
Wang Youjun waved his hand to repel the defenders above the city. When only he and Nier were left in the entire tower, and the wind was strong enough to keep the words from leaking, he gave a wry smile and shook his head. , But you can change the word you to them, because I’m not a religious fanatic, and I’m not religious."
"You are not religious? Are you not a holy knight in Jerusalem?"
"A warrior, it's useless to believe in anything except his own hands and weapons. I don't even believe in gods in martial arts. Why do I believe in religion?" Wang Youjun smiled and said, "Religion is just a form to me. Props. No matter what organization it is, as long as I can do good deeds and help the people, I will devoutly believe in it."
"But, you are like this..."
"Don’t be so surprised. It’s very troublesome to practice kindness. Sometimes although you want to help people, people are not willing to accept the help. For example, when a natural disaster occurs in martial arts, Reins wants to send relief supplies, but Because of the suspicion and hatred between the races, the martial artist might rather die than accept these life-saving materials, resulting in unnecessary deaths and injuries."
"At this time, if everyone has the same faith, at least one more channel is needed to complete the communication. In this regard, the holy religion in Jerusalem is indeed very useful. There are many believers and it is easy to communicate with each other, as long as Proper guidance will soon be able to gather people’s kindness. Although we have been helping people in distress over the years, if we don’t have an organization to raise supplies behind the scenes, personal kindness alone can’t do anything."
Looking at Ni'er’s stupid stupid look, Wang Youjun smiled and said, “As long as I can continue my current job, I can believe in any teaching. Most of the Four Knights of the White Nights have such thoughts, so we are sure of the holy religion. It exists, but everything has its pros and cons. The faith is too religious, and sometimes you can’t even see the things in front of you. It seems that you have suffered a bit, don’t you?"
Woke up by this, Nier suddenly thought of her reason for coming here, she was about to swear, and suddenly she smelled a sour and stinky smell, and she frowned.
"What smell? It smells so bad?"
After sniffing a few times, Nier turned her gaze to the Eltinus Army, where a raging fire was burning, and thick black smoke shot up into the sky. The distance was far away, and it was hard to see what was burning.
"Oh, in vain, you are an army general and you have experienced several large-scale wars. How come you haven't even smelled this smell?
The battle of Jinhua back then, we didn't even notice it every day. "
Wang Youjun said: "This is the smell of corpses. The Eltinus army is burning the corpses. This is the smell passed on."
Hearing the explanation, Nier almost vomited out. In the past at Beimen Tianguan, Gengoro knew that she hated these smells. Every time the war ended, he used the Taiyan Institute or the Magic Force to either vaporize and evaporate the corpse with high-tech equipment, or use a large-scale array to sink the corpse into the ground. , Automatic burial, cleaned up within half an hour, never had the chance to come into contact with the handling of thousands of corpses on the general battlefield.
"They have worked so hard for these Eltinos too. They have come and lost their lives in a foreign country. I hope their souls can sleep peacefully."
Although he said that he did not believe in God or religion, Wang Youjun still made a prayer posture, praying for the dead.
Ni'er covered her nose and looked at the fire several miles away, thinking that according to this situation, there were a lot of deaths and injuries in the Eltinus Army. Maybe many of them were not killed in the battlefield, but He died of illness. If you are the coach and face this situation, you won’t be able to retreat, but...
"Do you know? I am very satisfied with myself, and I am very proud of myself. I am young, strong in martial arts, and beautiful in appearance. Although my temper is irritable, I never make troubles unreasonably. My head is not smart, but I am very knowledgeable. With a little military talent, I have worked as a thief for a few years, and I have a good reputation...Ah, besides that, I have confidence in my legs."
He said something inexplicably, and even the praying Wang Youjun stayed for a while, not understanding why she boasted at this moment.
"What I want to say is that although I have confidence in myself, I know who I am. No matter how arrogant I am, I never thought I could defeat that iron-faced ladyboy. At least... it's not that simple, no Is it what it is now? We didn’t shed a drop of blood, we didn’t suffer any major losses, it’s too unreasonable..."
Even though she is complacent and proud, Nier is very measured. If she also has a pious belief, then she can blame the current situation on the blessing of gods like most Jerusalem knights, but she is a reasonable person, and the more she thinks about it, the more distressed.
Gong Jin is a famous general on the Continent of Wind. To lead the army to confront him, Nier bears a lot of psychological pressure. The day when I first took over the Knights, I had nightmares in the evening. I always dreamed that the Second Army suddenly used some miraculous strategy to make myself lose my armor and lose everything.
If you are right to be cautious, how should you interpret this situation now? Is that the iron-faced ladyboy's bad luck and made himself a big bargain? Or is he inconsistent with his name, he is not good at dark warfare under the table, and he was disgraced by the various measures of the Brothel Alliance? Or... what conspiracy is he preparing? If so, what is it?
Why can't my stupid brain think of anything?
"..."
Looking at Ni'er's distressed expression, Wang Youjun has an apology. This girl is not from Jerusalem, or even from a free city, but she has to take on such a heavy responsibility and fight her wits with the second brother. Although the division of labor by ability is a natural result, she is still very sorry for her.
"Wait, what does it feel like? Someone is doing something in the city!"
Originally staring at the enemy camp, Nier's heart moved, and when she looked back, she saw a blue light faintly lit up somewhere in the city. It was the ruins that Wang Youjun took everyone to see yesterday, and she warned at that time. This is currently the last external communication channel. Beware of the enemy's sabotage. It suddenly lights up, but Wang Youjun is here. Is it true that an enemy has sneaked in and sabotaged it?
Thinking about this, Nier immediately urged her energy and rushed over.
"Wait, it might be..."
Wang Youjun wanted to stop him, but he was a step slower, only to chase after him.
