Time flies, and without knowing it, it has been five years since Liu Ming came to Evil Ghost Road.
In a plain area a hundred miles north of Heifeng Valley, a majestic giant city is located here, with an area twice the size of the Golden Light City. The quaint blue-black city wall stretches and towers, exuding a strong and majestic atmosphere. The large and small pits and incomplete battle marks on the outer wall seem to be telling people that the scenes of the fortress's past experience.
On the city wall, there are lined up with giant crossbows, trebuchets and other large equipment. Around the city are dozens of column-shaped towers, each of which is tens of feet high, with countless runes inscribed on them. , Shining with various colors.
This is the largest fortress of the four major sects of the human race, the Taitian fortress in the evil spirit road.
In the city at this moment, from time to time a group of monks wearing the armors of the major legions can be seen passing by, their faces look very heavy, and the entire fortress is filled with a tense atmosphere.
Suddenly, there were a few unresolved sounds from the horizon on the far side of the city wall on the north side, causing the monks stationed on the city wall to watch.
"It's okay, the patrol team is back!" As the voice of a middle-aged man dressed in a white captain's costume sounded, the rest of them breathed a sigh of relief.
In the blink of an eye, the distant light came nearby in the sound of breaking air, but it was a group of more than ten monks, and under a few flashes, they landed on the northern city wall one after another.
The leader of the team is a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, who looks only in his thirties, his complexion is slightly vicissitudes of life, and his cultivation has reached the realm of the late real pill.
There are more than a dozen monks in the team behind him, dressed in the costumes of the four legions of blue, yellow, white, and black. A monk in the early days of Dan.
"Okay, everyone has worked hard. Let's go back and rest separately, but don't be too slack. No one knows whether the evil ghost army will attack here." The yellow robe middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" More than a dozen cultivators in the false alchemy period all nodded and agreed.
The middle-aged man in Huangpao waved his hand and turned and flew towards the city. The others also dispersed. Soon on the wall, only a young man in blue armor was left.
It is Liu Ming.
He looked towards the Taitian Fortress with a serious expression on his face. After a while, he flew off the city wall and walked towards the city. Not long after, he stopped in a round arch not far from the north wall. In front of the stone house.
After he waved his hand to play a magic trick, he quickly walked into the stone house.
This is a simple temporary residence. Although the area is small, the seats and beds are complete, and there are several partitions. It is a small cave with all the internal organs.
Liu Ming sighed softly, walked to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and fell into contemplation.
During these five years, the fighting between the four major legions and the evil ghost legions has become increasingly fierce. At the beginning, they only fought in the outer areas. The four major legions rely on the geographical advantages of the fortresses to defend themselves.
It’s just that with the passage of time, the offensive of the evil ghost army has become more and more fierce, and it has begun to siege the city and plunder the pool. The sphere of influence of the four major army groups has been continuously compressed. Now the nineteen forts of the Golden Light Army have Seven or eight fell, and the other three legions were in the same situation.
Facing the aggressive offensive of the Goblin Legion, the Taiqingmen Golden Light Army has sent two waves of reinforcements to support it, which barely blocked the offensive of the Goblin Legion.
The battle has become more intense recently. In addition to continuing to attack various fortresses, the evil ghost army also gathered a large number of troops near the four main cities of Golden Light City, Haoqi City, Fumo City, and Puppet City, posing an aggressive posture.
Although according to the usual view, every hundred years or so, the evil ghost army will focus on launching a wave of large offensives. Although the time is about the same, the offensive and scale of the ghost army have greatly surpassed any previous ones.
Speaking of it, the origin of these evil ghost legions is a mystery. After so many years of contact, although the human race has some understanding of its surface strength, but how many hole cards it has, I am afraid that the four major sects of the human race cannot tell. So come.
Faced with this situation, the four major legions had no choice but to unite once again, deliberating how to deal with the upcoming large-scale offensive launched by the evil ghost legion.
This Thai fortress is the most important hub between the main cities of the four major legions of the human race. It must not be lost. Therefore, although it is located in a relatively backward area, the four major legions have selected a group of elites in the near future. The people, together with the defenders who originally garrisoned the city, to prevent sneak attacks by the evil spirit army.
Because Liu Ming has performed extremely well on many missions in the past few years, he was dispatched here more than ten days ago.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
His face moved, he got up and opened the door, and saw a short-haired woman in a blue armor standing outside the door, it was Xiaowu.
The faint spiritual pressure from this female body has already broken through the real pill realm.
After going through that life and death tribulation five years ago, he finally seized the opportunity to make a breakthrough. After a period of retreat, he finally succeeded in consolidating alchemy not long ago.
Originally, after achieving this goal, she would return to the Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range, but the evil spirits are in desperate need of manpower, and the evil spirits are full of gloom, which has a lot to do with the solid pill of the ghosts like Xiaowu. Therefore, the woman considered repeatedly, she stayed first, and was also dispatched to the Taitian Fortress as an elite disciple.
"Senior Sister Xiaowu." Liu Ming said hello with a smile.
"Junior Brother Liu, I thought that your patrol team should almost come back." Xiao Wu smiled.
The two are the same elder brother and sister, and the things about Lingjiupo have made the relationship much closer than before, and they even often discuss some cultivation experience on weekdays.
"Sister Sister's team is in charge of the northwest area of the fortress, right?" Liu Ming let Xiaowu into the room and got up to make spiritual tea.
"Well, I only returned to the city yesterday. Fortunately, it's still peaceful here. There is no sign of ghost army infestation so far." Xiaowu glanced at Liu Ming who was making tea, and said casually.
Although the evil ghost army has not yet appeared near the Taitian fortress, the few celestial monks guarding here still organize the monks sent by Liu Ming into several small teams in order to prevent accidents. They are near the Taitian fortress. Take turns to inspect the area.
In the scent of tea, the two sat down on the chairs face to face.
"I don't know what's going on in the four major cities... Unexpectedly, just a few years after coming to Evil Ghost Road, I encountered this kind of large-scale war." Liu Ming sighed helplessly.
Although he came to this evil spirit road, and intended to use this place to fight the evil spirits in life and death, constantly sharpening himself, breaking through the limit, in order to find the opportunity to advance, but he did not want to participate in such a large-scale melee.
After all, in such a large-scale legion war, a single cultivator, no matter how high his cultivation base, no matter how strong he is, or one who is careless, may fall into confusion.
"Junior Brother Liu don’t have to worry too much. The Taitian Fortress is relatively safe here. Each of the four legions has a celestial elder who has been sitting here for a long time. There are also dozens of deacon elders from the True Pill realm. Once the Zongmen's great formation and countless protective prohibitions are fully activated, I think even if the mysterious ghost comes, it will be difficult to break in a short time, and it will be enough to buy enough time for the arrival of reinforcements." Xiaowu seems to see Liu Ming's worries, talked freely.
"Well, I hope so." What Xiaowu said just now, Liu Ming doesn't know, but once the war starts, no one can say what will happen.
"Speaking of, the army mobilized our group of monks here, on the one hand to strengthen the defensive force of this Thai fortress, on the other hand, it is estimated that we also want to put us in a relatively rear safe area here as a team. An important reserve force and the use of the auspicious soldiers." Xiaowu continued with a flash of eyes.
"If this is the case, at least our safety should be fine for the time being." Liu Ming said with a smile.
In this large-scale war of monks, the first few waves of battles were the cruelest, and monks fell the most. Once the first few waves have passed, the two sides have fallen into a stalemate, and the monks have not fallen as many as they had just begun. Therefore, more than ten days ago, even Liu Ming was slightly relieved when he heard that he was sent to defend the Taitian Fortress instead of directly facing the terrible attack of the evil ghost army at the beginning.
While Liu Ming and Xiaowu were drinking tea and chatting, huge bells of "Om" and "Om" came from all directions.
"What is this voice?"
Liu Ming and Xiaowu couldn't help looking at each other, their expressions changed at the same time, and they immediately walked out of the house.
This sound is exactly the sound of the "Soul Resurrection Bell" in the center of the Taitian Fortress. This bell will ring only when something great happens.
There were many people outside, like Liu Ming, and after hearing the bell, they walked out of the residence one after another, looking in the direction from which the bell came.
After the soul calming bell rang for a while, it slowly stopped.
"All disciples, gather at the Hall of Ceremony in the Central Plaza!" A magnificent voice immediately rang, and it was heard clearly in everyone's ears.
Liu Ming and Xiaowu glanced at each other, did not speak, and galloped towards the open air plaza in the Taitian Fortress.
Along the way, many monks in the armor of the four major legions flew in the same direction at the moment, and everyone's faces were solemn.
Not long after, Liu Ming and the two fell on a large open-air square in the middle of the city, where a huge bluestone palace was located.
When Liu Ming first came here, he also came here once, and soon walked into the hall alongside Xiao Wu and about a thousand monks.
He looked around and found that most of the disciples here were stationed here, their cultivation bases were not high, most of them were in the condensed liquid state, and there were not a few of them in the crystal phase, all of them looked a little panicked, and they were whispering. Saying something.
Once the war unfolds, these people are very likely to be used as forward cannon fodder.
This is also the most worrying and most involuntary thing for these outside sects and disciples who are being punished.
