Lanshi County, a remote county in the Tongtian province, has lost a lot of population after being occupied by the demons for many years. Today Lanshi County is no different from a wasteland. It is full of desolation and collapsed houses that have been soaked in rainwater. Appearing on the plains, among the wreckage of the broken wall, a few badgers ran around happily.
Lanshi County originally had a population of nearly 50,000, but after five years of war, it would be nice to have a population of 5,000.
Along the way, Min Yulin only saw the spreading depression and silence. Lanshi County had become a dead city. The remaining civilians were either reduced to mercenaries and bandits, or went into the deep mountains and became hunters and fields. Barren, the economy of Tongtian Province is dying under the rule of the demons.
In the distance, a few vultures hovered in the air, and on the ground was a starved person. From a distance, he could smell a strong rancid smell. It seemed to be a beggar. However, Lanshi County was deserted and there were no people. Give him food, he can only starve to death in the wilderness.
"Ugh… "
With sadness in Min Yulin's eyes, he raised his hand and said, "Zhan'er, take people to drive away the evil bird and bury that bone!"
"Yes, father!" Min Zhan rode away.
Xu Ying's face passed with sorrow, and said: "The ruler does not need to be too sentimental. Now the empire has destroyed the Yihe country, and the magic crystal cannon is overwhelming. I believe that it will be a matter of time for the demon clan to be destroyed. After we regain the lost ground, we will rebuild. That's it."
"is that useful?"
Min Yulin sighed and said to the sky: "I think I have a hundred thousand soldiers in the army, because I underestimated the enemy and I was besieged by the demons in Dongshuang City. If... If I had listened to the advice of His Highness King Qin, I would not end up so much. In the end, it’s my fault, Min Yulin, who died of hunger within a hundred miles of the sky and the province..."
"Jun Hou..." Xu Ying choked up, saying: "No one of us knows that the Demon Clan descends to the Tongtian Gorge. The empire has a history of less than 10,000 years, while the Demon Clan has been dormant in the Tongtian Gorge for tens of thousands of years. It is definitely not the fault of the prince, and I ask the prince to look down on it. Since His Royal Highness Qin is willing to rescue us, it means that His Royal Highness did not blame us."
"But… "
Min Yulin looked at Min Zhan's back and said, "But the old general and Zhan'er led the army to attack the Tianshu province and seize multiple states and counties. Will the empire really forgive us apostates?"
Xu Ying took a deep breath and said, "In order to survive, we have no choice. The demon used a sharp knife against our back. What can we do? Besides, the major general and I raided the Tianshu province, although We attacked the city, but did not kill the soldiers. Almost all the conquered cities were taken back by His Highness Qin Yan. We have done our best."
"Don’t forget the old general, as soon as your front foot is over, the demon army’s back foot stepped into the province of Tianshu, and the people of the empire who died under their butcher knife amounted to a million people. These million people... The evil we made."
"I know." Xu Ying murmured: "If His Royal Highness Qin blames us, his subordinates are willing to bear all of it, whether it is a punishment or a punishment, and it depends on His Royal Highness Yu's deeds."
At this moment, a voice came from the sky: "Who is going to send you off?"
Xu Ying and Min Yulin were overjoyed. They looked up at Lin Muyu flying above their heads together, clasped their fists and said, "Your subordinates, see Your Highness!"
"No need to be formal."
Lin Muyu put her hands behind her, and flew horizontally in the air, saying: "Almost three hundred miles to the south is the site of Lingdong Province, Weihou, I have one thing I want to discuss with you."
Min Yulin said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, please make it clear that it is."
"I want you to rebuild the Legion. I will give you equipment, horses, food, etc. The front line of Lingdong Province is too long, and you need to help me defend a certain line of defense."
Min Yulin's heart moved, and mixed feelings said: "His Royal Highness Yu still reuses me, Min Yulin, regardless of previous complaints, and the minister must die!"
"You are Welcome."
Lin Muyu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I am now King Qin, one of the three kings, and have the right to canonize. Now I will restore your title of Weihou. After returning to Dongshuang City, I will recast the tiger charm and handsome seal for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Speed up the march!" Lin Muyu looked at the yellow sand in the distance, and said: "The Demon Race will definitely not give up. We will bypass the Tongtian City and don't have a confrontation with the Demon Army in the Tongtian Province. Now you must It won't be the opponent of the demons."
"Yes, I understand."
At this moment, the sound of a bird flapping its wings suddenly came from the sky. It was a psychic bird. At the chirping call of Lin Muyu, Lin Muyu smiled and stretched out his palm, and the bird fell briskly in his palm. Taking down the letterhead, it was Wei Qiu's Yu Shu about asking about the success or failure of Lin Muyu's operation.
Just in time, Lin Muyu took out a pen from Qiankun’s bag and wrote a line on the letterhead: I found Min Yulin of the Yangwei Army in Tongtianxia, and he will bring more than 10,000 advance troops to the Empire. But for fear of the demon clan chasing the soldiers, please order the guard to send troops from the steel retaining wall immediately, and set up the magic crystal cannon at the mouth of the Luohe River to meet us.
Lin Muyu released the letter bird, which also means that another confrontation between the demons and the empire is about to come, and this time, Longdanying is on its own!
…
Most of the advance army is infantry, and it takes at least three days to travel three hundred miles, and it is a rush all the way.
The next day, most of the soldiers had their feet blistered, and there were constant complaints on the road. There were soldiers sitting in the wilderness along the way, but this also meant that they were about to fall behind. The only result of falling behind was death. Will let the rebels leave.
"stand up!"
Min Zhan carried a long sword and yelled along the road: "Get me up and keep up with the team. The demon chaser has left Tongtian City. Do you want to die under the sharp teeth of the armor demon?"
An veteran of about fifty years old complained repeatedly: "Major General, my leg is about to be broken, you see... My straw sandals are completely worn out, and now the soles of my feet are almost turning into a pile of rotten meat..."
Min Zhan frowned and looked at Lin Muyu: "His Royal Highness, what should I do?"
Lin Muyu took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to the veteran, saying, "Take the money and find a way to survive. You are not suitable for staying in the army."
The veteran was taken aback, and suddenly got up and knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness, I... I can't leave the army, what can I do without being a soldier, please don't drive me away from Your Highness... Please..."
He kowtows again and again.
Lin Muyu frowned. The lack of horses and chariots was the fatal injury of the advance army. At least a thousand people have been left behind along the way. If this continues, half of the people will reach the mouth of Luohe River.
At this time, a beautiful figure came over with the horse. It was Ouyang Yan. She had recovered a lot of energy and passed the reins to the veteran, saying: "You can ride a horse, I don't need a mount anymore."
"Huh?" The veteran was stunned.
Min Yulin respectfully said, "God of Fire Dance, has your body recovered?"
"Well, at least half of it recovered."
Ouyang Yan slowly meditated on her divine power, and suddenly a faint flame lingered around her body, slowly flying up, standing side by side with Lin Muyu in the air, and smiled: "Although I have lost my godhead, I am still a god after all. So rest assured, I can fly and I don’t need a mount."
"That's good, don't you thank Lord Fire Dance God King?" Min Yulin said.
The veteran kowtowed his head again and again, Ouyang Yan smiled, did not say anything, but flew to the front of the queue with Lin Muyu. The reason why this army can deal with the demons in the desert, more than half of the confidence comes from these two God.
…
Tongtian Province is adjacent to the East China Sea. After the northern cold current invaded, more than one-third of the land has become Gobi and desert. The advance army has been marching in the desert for a whole day. The scorching wind in August looks like The fire was generally grilled, and the soldiers on the ground complained, but the dust was flying in the distance, it was the chasing soldiers of the demons.
"If you don't want to die, speed up the march!" The officer in the queue yelled, but still couldn't stop someone from falling behind.
Lin Muyu's eyebrows furrowed and she was silent.
Ouyang Yan flew side by side and smiled faintly: "How do you plan to go on the road in the future?"
"Exterminate the demons." Lin Muyu said.
"Exterminate the demons?" Ouyang Yan chuckled, "I'm afraid it's not as easy as imagined. Do you know that the saint master has the ability to maintain the power of the heavens? Moreover, the saint masters were originally the fallen gods of the northern heavens. It has been going on for many years, and there are constantly appearing waste gods who have been captured by the gods. Once they fall to the Three Realms, I am afraid that the broken tripod realm will be even more chaotic. Moreover, if the Northern Heaven Realm sends the true god lower realm to assist the demons, I am afraid that the empire will be even more difficult. ."
"No need to teach me."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, turned to look at Ouyang Yan, and said, "I saved your life. You will be mine from now on, right?"
"Yes."
Ouyang Yan stretched her body, intentionally or unintentionally revealed the plump and tall Shuangfeng, her clothes are already torn, a pile of rags wrapped in the peaks, she is very charming, a charming face with a smile at Lin Muyu , Said: "No matter what you want me to do, I will follow orders. Please rest assured."
Lin Muyu was not in the mood to joke with her, and said lightly: "I only need you to listen to my order, your law is flame, I will help you get a godhead of the law of flame, don't worry!"
"Can you get the Godhead?"
Ouyang Yan was taken aback, and smiled: "You are not making me happy, are you? The god of the mortal world, it is not easy to get a godhead, and what I need is the godhead of the god king, even in the heavens. Very rare, let alone in the human world."
"Sooner or later there will be."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "As long as you stay and help me wholeheartedly."
"Well, that's for sure."
Ouyang Yan suddenly turned around, squinted at the dust and smoke billowing in the distance, and said: "The wolf ride of the demon race is here... Prepare to defend the enemy, the advance army will definitely not be able to stop it."
