Taishan City.
Compared with yesterday, the city at this moment has become much more depressed.
The city lord Ju Dongyi died in the battle.
All the aristocratic families in the city were uprooted and almost looted.
The only people who had nothing to lose were the people in the city.
but.
It’s not like there’s really no loss at all.
Nighttime melee.
The aftermath of a battle between strong men can easily destroy everything.
Many innocent people died in the aftermath.
But this is inevitable.
Except.
Most of Taishan City is still well preserved.
On the city wall.
Qin Shujian can still see the brutal fighting around him, leaving indelible traces.
Corpses can be refreshed.
Blood can also disappear.
But the traces left by the battle cannot be erased.
Just by looking at the traces around, you can tell what happened here.
"Taishan City only destroyed those aristocratic families and the resistance of the imperial court, but did not take action against the common people. Most of the buildings in the city were well preserved. He believed that he would be able to recapture Taishan City sooner or later, so he did not want to destroy his own things!"
Su Mingyang, who was standing on the side, looked down from the city wall, his eyes a little cold.
"He is too confident!"
"To be able to annex eleven cities overnight, the strength Gu Changqing used is definitely not simple. If I read correctly, there should be a large defensive formation in Taishan City, but it can be seen from the broken formations.
Taishan City's city defense formation was broken by someone! "
Qin Shujian looked at the sky above the city. There should be nothing there.
But in his eyes.
But some broken runes can be seen remaining.
Void carving formation!
Those who can lay out a large formation for a city must at least be at the level of a formation master.
Judging from the broken runes that have not completely dissipated.
The person setting up the formation should not have reached the level of a master.
But this is normal.
After all, before Qian Shanhou rebelled, Taishan City was just an ordinary city, and it was impossible to deliberately move a formation master to set up formations in the city.
Basically, it is enough for the formation master to take action.
but.
Even the formations laid out by the formation master are not easy.
Even if a great monk in the Divine Martial Realm wanted to break it, it would not be so easy.
But judging from the broken formation.
Qin Shujian felt a violent force.
This is the innate sensitivity of the formation master.
This allowed him to deduce some of what happened when the formation was intact from the traces of the broken formation.
Su Mingyang on the side heard this and said in a deep voice: "Does Master Qin mean that a strong man in the heavenly realm took action and broke the formation, which led to the death of Taishan City?"
"Whether it was Tianren Daxiu who took action remains to be discussed, but -" Qin Shujian shook his head and said: "The power Gu Changqing was able to destroy the eleven cities so quickly was definitely not simple.
Besides, instead of guessing by ourselves, we might as well ask someone, maybe it will be easier. "
"Ask someone?"
Su Mingyang was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized: "Is the alien that Sect Master Qin is talking about?"
"The aliens are immortal and are everywhere. Ordinary people will not be able to avoid the battle when the city is broken. But for the aliens, it is just the opposite. As long as we casually post a task, there should be aliens who will give us the answer. ."
As Qin Shujian spoke, he turned around and walked down the city wall.
Finding strangers is easy.
It's all over the streets.
According to his words, Su Mingyang returned directly to the City Lord's Mansion, and then asked someone to directly issue a reward mission as the acting City Lord.
Hardly any time.
Some players came to submit tasks.
"Black robe and hood, can't you see the face clearly?" In the city lord's palace, everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
They don't know the identity of the other party.
But by relying on his own strength, he was able to destroy the entire city defense formation of Taishan City. This kind of strength is difficult for even a strong person at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm to achieve.
Wu Tai said in a deep voice: "To be able to break through the city defense formation so easily is at least half a celestial being, or even a great monk in the celestial realm. Apart from Gu Changqing, there is no such strong person on the rebel side."
Speaking of which.
He glanced at everyone, and a cold light appeared in his eyes: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the forces behind Gu Changqing who took action."
"What General Wu said is the demon clan!?"
A general asked.
It is not a secret to them that Gu Changqing colludes with the demon clan.
Or.
These things have long been publicized.
But because of evidence issues, there was no movement.
But for people on the court side, everyone is basically certain that the person standing behind Gu Changqing is the demon clan.
There is no such strong person under Gu Changqing.
What about the demon clan
As a once hegemonic force, the Monster Clan is still huddled in the endless mountains, but its foundation is still strong.
Even said.
Because the other party has been dormant for so many years, no one knows to what extent its strength has been accumulated.
But one thing is for sure.
The strength of the demon clan.
Definitely not to be underestimated.
When the demon tribe was mentioned, even Qin Shujian and Su Mingyang's eyes flickered.
The former is the master of formation and is also the most advantageous person to rely on for this trip with the army.
Although the latter does not hold an official position, he is worshiped by Beiyun Hou Mansion, and now he can barely replace Beiyun Hou's face.
so.
Now there is a meeting in the city lord's palace, and both of them are qualified to participate.
"There is no doubt that they are monsters!" Wu Tai said in a cold voice with a solemn expression: "These remnants of the monsters can't stay in the Endless Mountains and come out to try to encroach on our Jokhang land.
If given the chance, I would definitely lead an army into the Endless Mountains and wipe out all these damn things.
As for Gu Changqing's rebellion as a minister of the Great Zhao, it is disloyal, and as a human being, he colludes with the demon clan, which is unjust. These disloyal and unjust people should be killed! "
Hear the words.
Everyone else was silent.
After all, if people want to indulge their addiction, they can't really get in the way of it.
Yan Caizhe is not here.
At this time, Wu Tai had the highest status among the Taishan City army.
No one will make themselves uncomfortable after eating too much.
and.
No one stipulates that it is also a sin to indulge in excessive talk.
As for what Wu Tai said.
They just listened casually and did not take it seriously.
after all.
After all, the Endless Mountains is also the base camp of the demon clan, and they don't kill anyone who says it. If the demon clan is really angered, let alone a million-strong army, even if they go in dozens of times, they won't be able to stir up any bubbles.
otherwise.
The imperial court has not taken action against the demon clan in recent years.
It's really because.
The Endless Mountains are so big!
Some people have speculated.
The vastness of the endless mountain range may be comparable to the hundreds of millions of miles of territory of Jokhang.
certainly.
Many people sneered at this rumor. In their opinion, no place could compare to the vastness of Dazhao.
The Endless Mountains are just a little more mysterious.
But when it comes to the vast territory, it is definitely not as good as Dazhao.
otherwise.
For thousands of years, why have the demon clan been trying to regain their past territories
As for strength, let alone that.
Just look at one side dominating hundreds of millions of territories.
One side can't retreat.
You can tell which one is strong and which one is weak.
Subsequently.
The anger on Wu Tai's face subsided a lot, he looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now that the rebels have withdrawn from Taishan City, what do you think?"
"The rebels must have known about the arrival of our army and knew that they could not rely on Taishan City to withstand our army's offensive, so they led their troops to evacuate. I suggest we rest in Taishan City for a night first.
Now that Ju Dongyi has been killed in battle, people in Taishan City are also in panic. We take this opportunity to stabilize people's hearts and then make the next plan for the rebels. "When Wu Tai finished speaking, someone suddenly made suggestions.
This is also the safest approach at present.
Rely on Taishan City for a short rest.
Then, with the opportunity of rest and recuperation, the impetuous people in Taishan City were stabilized, and then the army used Taishan City as a supply base to further launch an offensive against the rebels.
so.
When this person spoke, no one in the main hall objected.
After a long time.
Wu Tai nodded and said: "This is feasible, but -"
He paused for a moment, turned to look at Qin Shujian who was sitting on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Taishan City defense formation is broken, I would like to ask Grandmaster Qin to repair it to prevent other problems."
"No problem, just leave this matter to Qin." Qin Shujian nodded.
Set up a defensive formation.
For him, it is actually not a simple matter.
After all, the area is vast.
Taishan City is much larger than the previous Yuanzong.
If he hadn't promoted the spiritual god, he might not have been able to lay out such a large formation.
Or.
It can't be done in a short time.
After all, the larger the formation, the more time it takes and the corresponding consumption of spiritual energy will be less.
vice versa.
To set up a city-covering formation in a short period of time requires a lot of consumption.
but-
When the spiritual god was raised to twenty-six feet, Qin Shujian felt that he would not be weaker than some strong men who had just entered the divine martial realm, so he had great confidence in the formation of a city. Confidence.
After getting Qin Shujian's consent.
Wu Tai then looked at the others and ordered: "From today on, the entire city will be under martial law, and sentries will be sent to guard outside the city. A team of people will be stationed every five miles, and then every two quarters of an hour, a sentry will be sent out. A signal to ensure there are no abnormalities."
"Master Wu, are you afraid that the rebels will come again?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. No one stipulates that the rebels will not come back after abandoning the city. Military affairs are not child's play. The important thing is that soldiers are not tired of deceit. Just do as I say."
Wu Tai looked at the person who spoke and said in a cold and indifferent tone.
The man heard this.
There was an involuntary chill in my heart.
Then, together with the others, they all bowed and accepted the order: "We obey your order!"
The only one that didn't move.
They were Qin Shujian and Su Mingyang.
