By the river, the sky was blood red. It was a clear day, but neither the bright sun nor the cold moon could be seen in the sky. There was only a blood-red star standing in the sky, big and round, as if dripping with blood.
A figure in black armor sat cross-legged on the sky, as if he had merged into one with the stars, with tens of thousands of wolf riders under his feet. With a roar, black wolf smoke and blood gathered and merged into his body. All around him, densely packed poisonous carvings circled around him, making eerie and terrifying cries.
In his hand was a hideous head. Even though it was dead, the cry of unwillingness and anger still echoed in this world. Layers of phantoms emerged from the head and transformed into various monsters. Its blood dripped onto the ground, and countless wolf riders scrambled to devour it. Later, many wolf riders actually grew two heads.
It turned out to be the head of a martial arts immortal, who was the commander of the Divine Army who had previously guarded Kunyang City in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can be seen from this that his death was extremely tragic.
And beneath their feet, the broken Kunyang City had been completely reduced to ruins. The large formation fixed on the city wall of Kunyang City was completely torn apart. Countless corpses piled up like mountains on the city walls and under the city walls, and the river was completely dyed blood red.
At a glance, densely packed corpses were carried downstream along the huge waves. In the constantly surging waves in the river, a large number of water monsters and demons were tearing into the corpses of the warriors of the Great Zhou Divine Army. This earth-shaking bloody battle turned out to be a feast for the monsters and demons in the river.
The figure who merged with the army in the sky and absorbed the power of the stars in the sky raised his head. Under the helmet was a childish face, but his eyes revealed a firm murderous intent, as if one could see a sea of blood in his gaze.
"The army is marching! Follow me to attack Huanglong and destroy the Great Zhou."
After Jin Yin'er, the third prince of the Darong royal court, awakened the Seven Killing Stars and defeated the Great Zhou Shenwu Army, he crossed the river and headed straight for the capital of the Great Zhou. When Yang Jing learned the news, Darong's wolf cavalry had already crossed Longqiu City and entered Xunzhou, intending to attack Huanglong directly.
Tens of thousands of wolf riders and ten thousand Gu eagle flying troops rushed over a thousand miles overnight, and the capital of the Great Zhou was in sight. Even the vanguard of the flying troops had begun to hover over the capital.
However, after conquering Longqiu City, the wolf cavalry led by the Seven Killer Stars Jin Ni'er suddenly stopped, as if they were no longer in a hurry at this point, waiting for the army behind to catch up and then capture Yangjing of the Great Zhou in one fell swoop.
In other words, Jin Yun'er was waiting for Yangjing to fall into chaos. The new army of the Great Zhou had been completely held up by the army of King Wei of Panzhou. In addition, it would take a while for the Zhenwu and Yulong armies to arrive for support.
At this moment, he was waiting for the army to catch up with him, while he was guarding Longqiu City to make the Great Zhou Dragon Court in Yangjing fall into chaos and fear, and then launch a thundering attack. If he rashly attacked the capital of Great Zhou, Shenjing, it might lead to a full-scale counterattack and he would suffer heavy losses.
The Seven Killing Stars Jin Ni'er even sent out the Gu Diao Flying Army to let everyone know that he had arrived and was very close to Yangjing.
In the prosperous area of the capital, countless people heard a strange and terrifying cry like that of a baby above the sky in the middle of the night. That was the sound made by the Gu Diao, the mount of the Northern Rong people's flying army.
Yangjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into complete chaos. In the court and in front of the palace gate, countless ministers requested Emperor Kong Qi to quickly leave the capital to inspect the country and head south to Bu County or Gaozhou.
There was a sound of crying and pleading in front of the palace gate, as if their voices could penetrate deep into the inner palace and into the emperor's ears. However, at this moment Emperor Kong Qi had already issued an order not to see anyone.
"This old minister requests to see Your Majesty!"
"Bu County is a thousand-year-old ancient city and an important place for academies. Your Majesty should have visited the country since he ascended the throne. Since ancient times, emperors have had the ancient ritual of paying homage to the saints in academies. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, it is time to go to the academy..."
"The highlands are unstable, and the Marquis of Changping of the Dragon Guards is ambitious, but the soldiers of the army are loyal to the Great Zhou and to His Majesty. If the Emperor goes to Gaozhou, he will surely win the support of the Dragon Guards..."
"Your Majesty, the Great Zhou can do without us, it can do without Yangjing, but it cannot do without Your Majesty!"
However, at this time, the so-called touring the world was equivalent to abandoning the capital that had been established for hundreds of years and fleeing. At the beginning, the former emperor Kong Yan wanted to tour the world, but was stopped by his ministers. Now the situation is reversed, and the ministers are kneeling to beg the emperor to leave the capital.
Because of the national defense formation, all the important cities of the Great Zhou, including Shenjing, were built with city walls. However, due to the continuous expansion of Shenjing, the original Yangjing had long since become the inner city, and the area outside the city walls continued to expand. At a glance, it stretched to the end of the sky, directly connecting with the sky, earth and mountains in the distance.
The outer city of Shenjing was not closed, so when Da Zhou learned the news, it immediately blocked Shenjing. However, the more times like this, the more difficult it was to block the news. Everyone learned on the same day that Kunyang City had been broken and the Rong people were already heading towards Shenjing of Da Zhou.
When the people in the outer city learned the news that the Rong people were attacking, tens of thousands of wolf riders were close at hand and even the traces of the Gu Diao could be seen in the sky, so naturally they began to flee by the thousands.
The city was also in chaos. If we talk about the foundation of the Great Zhou, one or two martial arts immortals and cultivators in the tribulation period can still be sent out. Yang Jing is not without the ability to fight.
But at this moment, the Seven Killing Stars came with a large army. This kind of military formation may not be strong in a one-on-one fight, but in terms of defense and war, the destructive and lethal power is beyond imagination. It can easily break through a major town or a city with a large formation. Even the land immortals who have survived several thunder tribulations and can borrow the power of the Dao domain can form a battle formation to resist.
Conquering cities and defending strong defenses are far beyond the reach of ordinary practitioners. This is the true strength of a martial arts army.
By then, the military morale and martial arts supernatural powers will be suppressed. In addition, the county also has a witch god who can be compared to a martial arts immortal and a great witch priest in the royal court, while there are only a few thousand guards in the city. How can they resist
Those two martial arts immortals and the mighty cultivator in the tribulation period might be able to escape unscathed. It would not be easy for the Seven Killing Stars Jin Lin'er to kill them, but Yangjing would definitely not be able to be defended.
In addition to the equally powerful martial arts army that formed a battle formation and used this national defense formation to protect Yangjing, it is estimated that only true immortals and gods can truly withstand their offensive and force the enemy to retreat.
In the palace bedroom, a concubine was crying and holding her child. Emperor Kong Qi had a resolute look on his face at this moment.
"I am the Emperor of the Great Zhou. How can I be forced to abandon the capital and flee by a mere Rong people? The Great Zhou has been established for hundreds of years and has never experienced such a thing."
"I will never run away! Let Jin Ni'er come. I want to see what the Seventh Star of the Three Stars of Sha Po Lang, who is causing chaos in the world, looks like."
Emperor Kong Qi was determined to hold on to Yangjing and was determined to defend the capital of the Great Zhou and fight a decisive battle with the Rong people. But at this moment, the new director of the Imperial Observatory broke into the inner palace and asked Emperor Kong Qi whether he had forgotten his promise to the late emperor.
Emperor Kong Qi once again recalled the last words of the late emperor Kong Yan and his instructions before his death, and finally sat dejectedly on the dragon throne.
The director of the Imperial Observatory also withdrew. Not long after, the emperor issued an edict, deciding to travel around the country. He first went to Bu County to pay homage to the saints and great men of all ages in the academy, and then went to Gaozhou to appease the Dragon Army.
