lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!
Sufficient supplies have been obtained, the rebels have gained momentum, Guangchou has brought their families and family members in nearby areas to seek refuge, regardless of their number or strength, they have greatly expanded in just three months. , Expanded from hundreds of thousands to one million, and occupied nearly a quarter of the territory of Eltinus.
According to the practice of regular military science, it takes years and months to gradually capture a large empire like El Tienor, which is not cost-effective; to directly capture the enemy’s capital and paralyze the enemy’s command is the right way of military learning. , But this time Xiao Qiao couldn't use this method.
I have had the experience of being approached by the Guiyi tribe in Zhongdu last time. This time, the El Tienuo army is ready. The checkpoints around the capital are heavily guarded. They want to break through the layers of defense and attack in a straight line. It was easy, and Bailudong also fully supported El Tienor. In addition to mobilizing his disciples to join the army, even General Zhou Gongjin, who was severely injured by the attack by Yan Ning, had returned from his injuries and mobilized the army to join the war.
The pressure on the rebels suddenly increased, and Xiao Qiao hoped to fight steadily, not only for the military to win, but also for the internal affairs to convey new thinking to the people. With the external pressure of Eltinus, it was promoted. The military and civilians of various ethnic groups inside unite with the outside world and get along well.
"Brother Yu, what kind of person is Marshal Zhou Gongjin? I heard that he wears a mask every time he goes out. I don't know why he does this? What kind of face is under the mask? "
After a certain war ended, Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao rode back to camp together. On the way back, Xiao Qiao asked Gong Jin this way. The longing in his tone did not contain any hatred. This made Gong Jin feel that Unbelievable, because he should be the enemy of all Guiyi people.
"I don't know, but a person who is so sinister and vicious is mostly ugly as a ghost. He can't see people, so he should wear a mask to be a man."
Gong Jin answered faintly, glanced sideways at Xiao Qiao's expression, and found that her face was as usual, not as if she was deliberately tempting.
"Is it like this? I think that the beauty and ugliness of people is not the point. Instead, it is the beautiful man like you, brother, who should wear a mask. Because you look so good-looking, your wife will definitely not want her husband all day long. It was seen by a woman with a coveted look."
Because Xiao Qiao said it seriously, Gong Jin couldn't help laughing. He couldn't think that he was so charming in Xiao Qiao's eyes. This is indeed a very pleasant thing.
"...I heard... that Marshal Zhou hated Guiyi people very much. He was the representative figure of Bailudong who advocated the crusade against Guiyi people every time. If he could listen to our thoughts, it would be too great. Okay...If one day even the people who hate the Guiyi tribe are willing to put aside their differences and live together peacefully, then our revolution will come to an end, right?"
Xiao Qiao sighed quietly. The expression of deep thought and emotion made Gong Jin almost unable to look directly at her face, especially when he noticed that even under the reflection of the sunset red clouds, Xiao Qiao’s cheeks were still Appearing pale, and his body seemed to be thinner again, he could hardly help but want to get close to him, and put the body of the waning girl into his arms.
The years on the battlefield are never easy, let alone a slender girl who has to lead a large army to smash the battlefield all day, and after returning to the city, she has to deal with government affairs. Even a man of iron will be exhausted. I really don’t know how she supports it. Down.
Without the resources and intelligence of Bailudong, victory has not become out of reach, but it is no longer at hand. Eltino’s high-ranking officers are not a rice bucket. Many of them are talents with courage and strategy. The army commanded by them is well-trained and equipped with complete weapons and equipment. To fight against these people, Gong Jin knows that he can Win, but it takes time to achieve these victories, not a short time that can be completed within a year and a half.
In every battle, Xiao Qiao always rushes in the forefront in the rain of guns and arrows. She is not the kind of impatient character who likes to be the vanguard in everything. Staying in the base camp calmly and directing, this is more in line with her talents, but whenever she wears the three magical weapons, her figure glows with rainbow golden light, riding a sturdy horse. In front of the battle, the soldiers behind were a hundred times courageous, followed the charge bravely, and defeated the enemy fiercely.
Although this rebel army is gaining momentum, it has finally become an army in a hurry. It is not more tempered than the Eltinus regular army for hundreds of years. Everything has a law and order, and the command responds quickly; let this reckless army defeat the regular army. , We must give them more courage and fighting spirit, and faith is the most favorable factor for these.
Whether it is the Guiyi tribe, the orcs, and the human beings, they all believe in the same dream now, and hope that in the near future, they can live and work in peace and prosper, and lead a prosperous life; and the gods who can bring them to the ideal country in the faith , Is the girl who wore three great artifacts and rushed to the forefront of the whole camp.
Bailudong probably also saw this, so he repeatedly spread rumors against them, trying to weaken the unity and mutual trust of this rebel army. One of the most vicious rumours is that the Guiyi tribe is colluding with the demons, wanting the demons to return to the world and help destroy the human regime. The most favorable evidence to support this rumor is the vampire legend that is becoming more and more fierce. .
The spy responsible for spreading this rumor has made great progress in its execution methods. The dry corpses left on the streets are no longer just chickens and ducks, but human corpses have begun to appear. This situation added to the people’s panic. Gong Jin was angry about the situation, but even though he formed security teams and patrolled in various cities, the enemy’s skill was even higher, and the security teams were a few steps late each time. .
Little Qiao’s worry about this incident can be seen by anyone. It was just to not add pressure to Gong Jin. She did not ask Gong Jin to ask more about this matter.
In fact, she has had enough trouble herself. Having been paying attention to Xiao Qiao's back, Gong Jin is very suspicious that Xiao Qiao's recent emaciation and weight loss are not only due to the pressure of military and political work, but also the loss of vitality and blood from the three artifacts, which may be the main cause.
The hammer of equality, the holy armor of fraternity, and the magic circle of freedom, these three artifacts made from Bailudong, although they can exert powerful power, each time they are used, they will absorb a large amount of the vitality of the holder. The wear and tear was quite alarming. Gong Jin didn't think that Xiao Qiao would not be affected at all after long-term use. The pale and haggard face was the best evidence.
In order to prevent Xiao Qiao from being too tired, Gong Jin deliberately took the lead in the battle, and tried to prevent Xiao Qiao from having a chance to do it. Although she is the center of the faith of the whole army, she had to stand in the front without wearing three magical tools. But as long as you reduce your phone calls, you should not be so tired.
(There are more and more things to do, not only to catch vampires, but also to smooth out the enemies for Xiao Qiao. The assassins on the Bailu Cave can't let them succeed...)
The three elders of Su Lao Tang believed in their words. After that negotiation, the assassins sent from Bailu Cave never stopped. The continuous turmoil made Gong Jin tire, and every time he saw those younger brothers stab one after another, they were trying hard to succeed without success, and in the end they either widened his eyes or left the world weak and weeping. , He felt very sorry.
These young people did nothing wrong. It was all bad for the people who ordered them. Knowing that it is impossible to assassinate them with their strength, they should be sent to harass and attack. However, these people can also not be so obedient! As long as they have a little resistance, they don't need to die so miserably here today.
In order to prevent such a futile thing from happening again, Gong Jin once again held talks with Su Lao Tang, asking them to stop sending assassins and give up support for Eltinus.
At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was very bad. Su Laotang cut off all the information and support given to Gong Jin, and Gong Jin no longer passed back information from the rebels. The information of Shuilian Cave and Baijia’s Secret Aid was hidden. Needless to say, the relationship between the two parties was not officially torn apart, and the three elders of Su Lao Tang finally asked directly.
"Zhou Gongjin, are you and Tao Jian going to betray Bailudong?"
"It really surprised me that the three elders thought so. We are disciples of Bailudong. We have never rebelled against my teacher. I really don't know where to start with the betrayal of Bailudong?"
Gong Jin's strategy is to carry out the name of Master Lu You and make Su Lao Tang jealous. He alone is incapable of fighting against Su Lao Tang with weight, but even the three elders in Su Lao Tang can’t turn a blind eye to the existence of Master Lu You. When Master was in retreat, he said he was preparing to be isolated from the world for half a year. Half a year is almost full, as long as the master leaves the customs, he has the bargaining chip to change the current situation.
Speaking logically, based on Lu You’s face, Su Laotang should not dare to push Gong Jin too hard, but to Gong Jin’s surprise, when he pointed out that Master was about to leave, the three elders Quite proudly expressing that the Guiyi people colluded with the demons. Even the sage of the moon could not change this huge crime. Even if Lu You left the pass, he would stand on the side of Bailu Cave and wipe out all the Guiyi rebels. .
"Come on! This kind of words can only be used to deceive outsiders. I am in the ghost army, and I can see clearly where there are demons? Those vampires with their heads and tails hidden are not all Bailudong Sent to make trouble? Or the three elders are going to tell me that Su Laotang has colluded with the Mozu, so Bailudong has a way to let the Mozu run to the occupied city and endanger the people?"
"Zhou Gongjin! Pay attention to your words! Even if you are Lu You's apprentice, you are not qualified to slander Su Laotang like this!"
Gong Jin's accusation made Su Laotang furious, although he himself didn't care much. However, the three elders who still appeared aloof even in the shadow of the water mirror quickly calmed down and spoke to Gong Jin again with a high attitude.
"The leaders of the Guiyi tribe colluded with the demons. This is absolutely not wrong. Soon, Su Laotang will announce this fact to the whole world. By then, the rebel army will be like a candle in the wind. Disintegration in the day and night."
The object of the accusation has changed from all the Guiyi tribe to Xiao Qiao alone. The more he speaks, the more he goes back. Gong Jin absolutely believes in Xiao Qiao, but seeing Su Laotang can say so surely, maybe they already have something of their own. I don't know the trick, so I can be sure of it.
For Xiao Qiao's safety, Gong Jin insisted on inquiring. The three elders didn’t pay attention to his questioning at all. Even if Gong Jin took the name of the master, it was the same. However, perhaps it was because of the tricks that no one could show off. It was too lonely. The three elders finally Let's talk about the plan for the layout of Su Laotang for many years.
The Guiyi tribe is a mixed race of humans and demons. In order to erase this filthy clan from the Continent of Wind, they must be hated by the entire Continent of Wind. Among them, the most stimulating fear and rejection of the people is the fact that the Guiyi tribe is colluding with the demons. How to realize this plan? Three artifacts are the best shortcuts to realize this plan.
Gong Jin has always known that the three artifacts were spread from Bailudong, and deliberately let these three artifacts fall into the hands of the Guiyi tribe. However, these three artifacts cannot be made by Bailudong. Their history goes back to the pre-Kyushu War. A well-known craftsman in the demon world created these three things for the demon clan to attack the human world. Come out to add combat power to the top fighters.
The hammer of equality, the holy armor of fraternity, and the magic circle of freedom are three artifacts with different powers and powerful lethality. When used, they will absorb a lot of the holder’s flesh and blood vitality as their own energy source, but In order to avoid excessive inhalation, the three artifacts will also continue to affect the body of the holder, exuding a state of excitement similar to smoking narcotic, so that the holder is not afraid of pain, violent, and invincible on the battlefield.
If the holder is a demon, this effect will continue to stimulate the state of excitement; but when the holder becomes a human, these three samples are made for the demon, and there will be some artifacts that exceed the designer’s expectations. Change, slowly demonizing the body of the human holder, turning it into a demon race, especially when the three major artifacts are all integrated into one.
"The leader of the rebel army heard that she is a woman. She uses the three artifacts once more, and her body will be corroded by one more layer. Every time she throws a hammer with a sacred armor and blocks an attack with the holy armor, the three artifacts will affect her. The body of the body, the battles have been fought... Hey, she will soon become a demon!"
The gloomy sneer from the other side of the water mirror continued to shock Gong Jin’s hearing, and the words that were uttered in the sneer made him couldn’t believe what he heard. It was so absurd, so The cruelty.
"Guiyi people are originally demons, and the speed of infection will only be faster than humans. At that time, we will announce the truth about the leaders of the rebels in Bailudong, so that everyone knows, the leaders of the rebels. It is a demons who have mixed into the human world, how can they not collude with the demons at that time? Their leader is a demons! Hahaha..."
Gong Jin can’t describe how he feels at the moment. He hopes this is a lie, because before, Master never told him that the three great artifacts had such shady scenes. He is his most faithful order executor. Master has no reason to hide it from him. .
"Zhou Gongjin, have you never heard your great master mention these secrets? Hahaha, you value too much of your holy master and too much of yourself, do you think he is really in retreat? He just I just cut off contact with you! In his and our eyes, you are just a loyal dog, and you don’t need to know too much. We can reuse you, or let you die at any time. You are not qualified to ask. There are too many secrets, and never think that you can fight against your teacher."
"...Understood, thanks to the teachings of the elders, Gong Jin will not disappoint you."
The expression was as usual, and the conversation ended in the dullest tone. Gong Jin spent almost a whole life of restraint before the three elders could see his true thoughts.
Calm down! Be sure to calm down now! Because if you even start to panic, who else can support Xiao Qiao and make plans for her?
Little Joe...where is she now? By the way, she seems to have said that tonight, we must cooperate with the search team to find the vampire monster that is harassing the city. Because that vampire monster is getting more and more bold, it attacked two houses last night and sucked a baby. It became a corpse, for which the masses had been outraged and vowed to find out and kill the vampire demon.
It was also because Xiao Qiao was away tonight that Gong Jin had time to have a meeting with Su Laotang, but after hearing about Su Laotang's vicious conspiracy, Gong Jin suddenly had a terrible idea.
Blood contains the vitality of creatures and is a source of energy for many demons. Therefore, when a series of creatures are sucked up and killed, the first thing people think of is that demons and demons are raging. However, if the price of using the three great artifacts is that the body is gradually demonized, then, is it possible that Xiao Qiao has already...
Recall carefully, the time when the blood-sucking monsters raged was after the rebels left the Huaguo Mountain region. That was also the period when Xiao Qiao began to use the three major artifacts to fight in large numbers. Will Xiao Qiao have been since then? Be...
This thought made Gong Jin feel irritable. He just wanted to rush to Xiao Qiao's side immediately, take a closer look at her appearance, and see if anything has been neglected by him.
The restless mood made Gong Jin unreserved, and his figure was soaring. No matter whether he had surpassed Zhou Yu’s "should" strength or not, many masters in the rebel army only saw his figure flash. In the blink of an eye, they ran far and wide, and they were amazed when General Zhou Yu made such great advances in martial arts.
In addition to worrying about Xiao Qiao's physical condition, Gong Jin, who is rushing, is also puzzled by his current situation. If Su Laotang’s words are true, Master knows all the things that have happened so far, and the reason why he claimed to be retired is all a design that deliberately prevents him from asking for help. The purpose is to... is to...
Gong Jin couldn't answer this point, because Master Lu You's idea was beyond his comprehension. Even though he had been working for him for hundreds of years, he still often confused why he did it. Or, Master's talent training plan this time falls on him, and he wants to see if this disciple has the opportunity to rise to the heavens in one fell swoop through the painful ordeal.
If this is the case, it is in line with Master’s style. As long as it is related to this reason, there is nothing that Master can’t do, but as long as he thinks of those talents who have been secretly tempered by Master in the past, Gong Jin couldn’t help feeling a while. Chill, he was really not sure whether he could withstand the repeated blows and trials.
"Rouge!"
Gong Jin's figure flashed, shooting steadily in front of Yan Ning like a feather arrow, just to see a look of disapproval flashing in Yan Ning's eyes, seeming to blame him for rashly revealing his strength. Gong Jin didn't have time to take care of these last points, and simply asked to understand where Xiao Qiao was, and learned that she let Yan Ning lead a group of people to search back and forth, but she performed her light work alone and flew around the city looking for it.
"Gong Jin, you have to be careful, there are indeed demons in this city."
Yin Ning's warning is guaranteed by professionalism. Of course Gong Jin can believe it, but the words said at this time deepened Gong Jin's fear.
"I see, you continue to inspect, I will go to Xiao Qiao."
Yin Ning didn’t understand what happened, but seeing Gong Jin’s expression was rare and highly cautious. Knowing that something was wrong, she pointed to the direction of Xiao Qiao’s disappearance without saying a word. Gong Jin didn’t even ask a single word. Just flew out over there.
Where is Xiao Qiao? Gong Jin couldn't find this for a while. A certain feeling told him that Xiao Qiao might be hiding from herself and other people. After searching for a while, Gong Jin accidentally discovered the first batch of victims tonight, several corpses that had been drained of blood, all abandoned in a dark alley.
(The blood of the corpse is not clotted, it is still warm, the murderer is nearby...)
On this thought, Gong Jin saw a black shadow flashing past. Although he couldn't see the face, he was undoubtedly Xiao Qiao from the armor and chain hammer.
"Little Joe!"
Gong Jin chased after him. After some chasing, he caught up with Xiao Qiao. In the process of chasing, he had discovered that Xiao Qiao's posture and appearance seemed to have changed a bit, and the worst might have happened.
Xiao Qiao did not answer. She turned her back to Gong Jin, her shoulders trembling lightly, as if she was afraid of something, and she seemed to cry silently.
Gong Jin knew that he couldn't be too anxious, so he took a deep breath and approached that way as calmly as possible.
"Little Joe, don't worry, we can all be together..."
When he patted Xiao Qiao's shoulder with his hand, Gong Jin felt a strong demon spirit, and felt sad, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. The material of the Saint Armor of Fraternity... was not right.
(This is not the holy armor of fraternity, it is a forgery, this person...not Xiao Qiao!)
Before Gong Jinyi realized this and became alert, the creature on the opposite side suddenly turned his head... only the head, turned strangely in a semicircle, and exhaled a burst of purple smoke, light from that Fishy smell, you know that it contains highly toxic.
Gong Jin tried to escape for the first time, but the body of the monster burst open, and the two rows of ribs instantly became huge, opening and closing like two claws with both hands, and immediately trapped Gong Jin, making it difficult for him to move. .
(Not good!)
Bailudong’s most superior Neijia Zhenqi exploded on Gong Jin’s body, and the two ribs claws instantly cracked, but before he could completely break free, the ghost who didn’t know what creature was. A sharp and long mouthpart emerged from his mouth, which pierced down towards Gong Jin's brow.
(Damn it, this should be Yan Ning’s defense range...)
