After that day's delay, the reinforcements led by Dugu Yingcheng had arrived safely. Although the journey was not peaceful, it was safe at last.
Kneeling in front of Emperor Shi Tian, feeling this familiar majesty, Dugu Yingcheng felt a joy he had never felt before. How scared he was along the way, afraid that the coalition forces would be crazy and afraid that the king would not be able to resist.
In his heart, the king is a god. They grew up together, and he knows how powerful the king is. But even the wisest man can make mistakes, and this time, it is clear that these small countries are just taking the opportunity to stir up trouble. If it were normal times, even if they had ten times the courage, they would never dare to openly oppose the king. The bad thing is that this time the king fell into a quagmire. Unfortunately, the power of the coalition was too strong, otherwise Tianze would not be forced into this situation.
"Your Majesty, I have brought all the troops that can be mobilized and cannot be mobilized this time, but the coalition force is too powerful. If it really comes to a head-on collision, I'm afraid the outcome will be..." He didn't have the courage to say the rest, because that outcome was something he couldn't face.
Emperor Shi Tian sat upright, his stern face the same as always. No matter the time, no matter what situation he faced, it seemed that his expression would not change at all. It was precisely because of this that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
After saying that, Dugu Yingcheng stood up and stood aside.
"Movie theater, my life as a lonely person, has not been a failure." His thin lips moved up and down, uttering a few light words, seemingly indifferent but actually as heavy as Mount Tai.
Seeing the king like this, Dugu Yingcheng felt heartbroken. For so many years, this man had always been like this. No matter what kind of problems he encountered, no matter how much pressure he was under, he would bear it alone silently. As his subordinate, he always felt relaxed. The king never seemed to put any burden on them.
The king seems to be a cold and unapproachable god, but he knows that it is just that he is not good at it. Just like what he said now is just to reassure himself.
"I know, I..." Dugu Yingcheng wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a general who came in hurriedly to report.
Before the general could say anything, he heard the urgent sound of a trumpet.
There is no need to guess that the opponent has started attacking again.
In fact, even if the other side didn't come, he would still go to fight. The strength of the two sides was too different, and dragging it out would shake the morale of the army. Therefore, he had to fight quickly and decisively.
Desperate wails resounded through the sky, and cries mixed with blood and tears were heard in every corner outside the city. The wounds that the soldiers had just bandaged and had not yet scabbed were torn open again because of the enemy's attack. In order to defend their homes, they ignored their own pain and allowed their wounds to tear again, fester, and even rot due to infection.
It hurts, it really hurts, but there is only determination on their faces. Maybe they are numb from the pain and don’t feel it anymore.
Inside the city, the soldiers who had just retreated from the front were covered in wounds, and every step they took was covered in blood. The broken arms and limbs scattered all over the ground exuded a bloody and moldy smell that made people feel sick.
There is nothing more cruel in this world than war.
The seven-nation coalition left Emperor Shi Tian in this small Yanglin Thirteen States, but this was indeed a blessing for the people. If Emperor Shi Tian was far away in the imperial capital when this war broke out, then there would be no Yanglin Thirteen States at this moment.
Standing on the city wall, he could see corpses everywhere, and the people who were caught in the flames of war were struggling to death. The endless cries invaded his mind like a nightmare, replaying over and over again. The feeling of watching thousands of innocent people fall before his eyes and being powerless to do anything was more unbearable than being cut into pieces.
It is already autumn. At this time of year in previous years, the city is full of abundant fruits. Golden corn, green vegetables and fruits, people are busy going in and out, for the joy of a year's harvest. The happy scene seems like it happened yesterday, but now it is completely different.
This battle, no one knows when it will end, and no one knows how it will end. No matter what, he will do his best to protect this land.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Liu Minsheng immediately turned around. Seeing that it was the king and the prime minister, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"Stand up." Liu Minsheng had just knelt down when he heard the voice of Di Shitian.
Dugu Yingcheng stepped forward and said, "Master Liu, please get up. Under the current circumstances, Master Liu does not need to be too polite."
At this moment, the originally bright sky suddenly changed color, and a strong wind blew up, blowing away the pure white clouds. Dark clouds gradually climbed up, and the earth gradually darkened. After a while, drops of drizzle fell from the sky, scattered in every corner of the land, soaking everyone's clothes, and merged with the blood flowing on the ground, forming a river of blood, flowing towards the low-lying areas, with fine branches, and soon covered every piece of land, like a big net woven with blood, covering the lives of thousands of people.
"Your Majesty, it's raining."
In the dense rain, the enemy troops gathered and arrived outside the city gate. Among the thousands of soldiers, on their tall horses, they looked at Emperor Shi Tian on the city wall with contempt and shouted.
East and west entrances. The enemy had already launched an attack. The reason why the main gate was still waiting was to provoke Emperor Shitian to take the initiative to fight. The leadership of this war seemed to be seven countries, but in fact, the nature of it had already changed. The deployment of troops, the purpose of the attack, and the decision-making power were all in the hands of the man in black. From the beginning, this battle was not a simple fight for territory. However, the monarchs of small countries who were blinded by interests could not see this.
Although there was a thick rain curtain between them, Emperor Shitian could still feel a cold gaze. It was like being stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark night. He was surrounded by enemies and had to be on guard all the time, not knowing when the snake would bite him.
Emperor Shitian's intuition was always accurate. He could say for sure that the man must have a special position in this war. And that man gave him a feeling that was different from ordinary people, but familiar.
The east and west entrances were defeated one after another, the city walls were destroyed on a large scale by the enemy, and battle reports came every few minutes. Dugu Yingcheng and Liu Minsheng's brows gradually tightened until they could pinch a mosquito to death.
Outside the city, a man in black was staring at every move on the city wall, holding a strange ornament in his hand. None of the people accompanying him knew what this man was holding.
This thing is called a spyglass. It is spherical and looks similar to a human eyeball. It is made of special materials. The principle is actually similar to our current telescopes, but it is not as sophisticated as it is now. Moreover, this thing needs to be injected with spiritual power to be driven. It is a treasure that will not be available in the next generation.
With the help of the looking glass, one can clearly see every move of Di Shi Tian and others, even down to every expression and subtle movement.
As for the human world, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the man in black. Now, the only thing he is interested in is Emperor Shi Tian.
Although Emperor Shi Tian is just an emperor of the human world, but for some reason, I always want to see a frustrated and painful expression on his face.
The two sides were clearly retreating step by step, and there were millions of troops at the moment, but the man's face was still so handsome. The cold and hard lines seemed to be the work of gods. Such a look was rare even in the previous session. And the aura around him was between heaven and earth, and he was independent of the world. If he was not in the wrong environment, he would have thought that he had met a great man of the god level.
Looking at Emperor Shi Tian's expression that never changed, the man in black gradually lost his patience. This shouldn't be the case, he should be panicked, afraid, terrified, and humbly begging for mercy, but why, no, none of this happened.
The fingers holding the mirror gradually tightened, and the contempt in his heart was gradually replaced by anger. He suddenly threw his hand and threw the mirror to the ground.
Seeing this, the lawyer who was following nearby frowned and stepped forward immediately.
"Sir, who is the one who is irritating you again?" He was so proud just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was angry again. This sir's temper is really unpredictable. The master asked with a smile, muttering in his heart.
"Pass the order, launch a strong attack on the city gate immediately. Before dark, I want to see the head of Emperor Shi Tian!" His tone was sharp, with a taste of gritting teeth, and his face lost its previous arrogance and became extremely ferocious. The hands under the sleeves of his robe were clenched into fists, and the veins were bulging. He looked like he wanted to cut Emperor Shi Tian into eight pieces immediately.
He did not attack even though his troops were at the gates of the city, just to put pressure on Emperor Shi Tian, and the surprise attack on both sides was also for this purpose. As the Art of War says, attacking the city is inferior to attacking the heart. It does not seem fun to use force to make a person like Emperor Shi Tian surrender. He originally wanted to break his psychological defenses little by little and make him collapse completely, but now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved in a short time, and he does not have the patience to wait any longer.
"Yes, yes, I will immediately convey your order and attack the city immediately."
The howling wind, mixed with heavy rain, struck the land. The battle flag slowly rose, fluttering in the wind and rain.
"Your Majesty, it looks like the enemy is about to attack."
"Liu Minsheng."
"I am here."
"Go back to the city and organize the people to evacuate."
"Your Majesty!" Liu Minsheng knew that the situation was bad now, and it was very likely that the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanglin could not be defended. He understood that the king had no choice but to make such a decision. If he was not worried about the people in this city, he might not have evacuated so quickly. He was not questioning the king's decision, nor was he pointing at the king to give up the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanglin, but he was unwilling to withdraw from the front line. Organizing an evacuation could be done by sending any civil servant, not necessarily by him.
He would rather die in battle than stay behind enemy lines and worry about the country and the people.
Emperor Shi Tian didn't say anything else. Once he made a decision, he would never change it.
Liu Minsheng wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Dugu Yingcheng.
Pressing Liu Minsheng's shoulder, he shook his head at him.
"Your Majesty understands City Lord Liu's intention. However, protecting the people during their evacuation is also a very important matter. We cannot afford to make any mistakes. Not to mention the possibility of an enemy attack on the way, could it be that City Lord Liu has forgotten the trigger for this battle?"
The mastermind of the missing persons case is still at large, so protecting the people from evacuation is not an easy task. However, since the people in the dark have pointed the finger of blame at their own king, the missing persons should not happen again for the time being. It is better to be safe than sorry. If the real culprit behind the scenes is really crazy, he might come to harm the people again.
After much deliberation, Liu Minsheng decided to follow Emperor Shitian's arrangements and immediately organize the evacuation of the people.
After Liu Minsheng left, Di Shitian glanced at the enemy troops attacking the city gate, and then raised his hand to signal. Seeing this, Dugu Yingcheng frowned, "Your Majesty, is this really necessary?" In fact, the king had already expected the enemy troops to attack the city today, and had made detailed arrangements, but...
"I obey your order." After saying this, Dugu Yingcheng bowed to Di Shitian and left resolutely.
I hope Your Majesty can take care of himself.
Facing the fierce attack of the enemy, none of the soldiers defending the city retreated a single step, they still firmly guarded their posts. The wounds on their bodies were nothing, and the powerful enemy was nothing. They only had one belief in their hearts: there is a country before there is a home, and the heavenly ze cannot be destroyed.
"Brothers, hold on, we must live and die with our country. Even if we fight to the last moment, we cannot admit defeat. We must use our own flesh and blood to build a solid barrier to protect our country, our wives and children, and buy time for the king. As long as the king is still here, Tianze will not lose, and will not be destroyed!"
The faces of the soldiers were unusually resolute. Most of them were young, some of them were just adults, and their faces looked a little childish. But in front of a million-strong army, in the midst of a national crisis, they did not have the slightest thought of trying to survive.
There is a home only when there is a country. If they can't defend it and Tianze is destroyed, then their fate will be even more miserable than dying on the battlefield.
"I would rather die standing than become a slave of a conquered country." This was just a shout, but it expressed what all the soldiers were thinking at the moment.
“Yes, I would rather die standing than become a slave of a conquered country. I would rather die standing than become a slave of a conquered country…” A slogan, no, it is not a slogan, but a belief, a belief that everyone shares.
In the fierce battle, amidst the bloodshed and sacrifice, the soldiers smiled, with dirt and blood on their lips, and shouted over and over again. It was like a victory song on the battlefield, although there was no melody, it was extremely beautiful. In this way, it silently inspired everyone present.
"Good soldiers, good men, you are all great." The general leading the team could not help but burst into tears when he saw this scene. It was as if he had returned to his youth. At that time, it was also this belief that supported them again and again, and helped them get up from the tragic battles. For the sake of their deceased comrades and their living relatives, they could not take a step back.
This is the soldier of Tianze. Good job, he didn't bring shame to Tianze. He felt that his life was worth it to see such a scene, even if he died in the next moment. He was proud!
Smoke rose everywhere, and the land was filled with grief. The people who were about to leave their homes with Liu Minsheng looked back at the homes they once lived in with tears in their eyes. They didn't want to leave, but the fighting and the enemy's shouting behind them frightened them. They just wanted to survive. The desire to survive forced them to leave.
"Mom, where are we going? When can we go home?" A little girl in flowery clothes asked with a face full of longing, holding her mother's hand. The sound of the battle in the distance did not affect her world. Because the adults told her that it was just wild beasts outside the city. As long as she didn't run around, the wild beasts would not hurt her.
The ignorant child was protected by the adults. She thought that she moved out temporarily to avoid wild animals. On her face, there was even some joy of moving into a new home and curiosity about the new place.
"Dear little flower, let's go to a very beautiful place. When the wild animals outside the city are gone, we will go home." The mother squatted down and explained to her daughter in a soft voice. She was still young, and she didn't want to scare her or leave a shadow on her childhood, so she didn't tell her these things.
Looking at her daughter's innocent face, she suddenly thought of her daughter's father. He was wearing light armor, tall and mighty, just like the invincible god in her heart. Looking out of the city, her worries grew stronger. She didn't know if they would ever meet again. At this moment, all she could do was pray to God to bless her man.
At this moment, the flank was breached and a group of enemy troops rushed in. The originally orderly people were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Ah, the enemy is coming in."
The screams of women, the cries of children, the elderly people nervously protecting their families and shouting to run and not to hurt them, all the sounds intertwined together at the same time, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
Seeing this, Liu Minsheng immediately went forward to kill the enemy and protect the people. While killing the enemy, he turned back and shouted, "Everyone calm down, gather to the east, there is only a small group of enemy troops coming in, everyone calm down, be careful not to get hurt by mistake, men protect the elderly and children!"
"Listen, everyone accompanying us. We must protect these people and complete the evacuation mission."
He really didn't expect that the flank would be breached so quickly, so this time he organized the evacuation with only his yamen runners. Although they were also on duty, they were not as good as the soldiers who had been on the battlefield. They didn't have much actual combat experience, so facing such a scene, they seemed a little flustered for a while. But fortunately, the number of soldiers rushing in was relatively small, so it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
Liu Minsheng's martial arts skills were not low, and he could easily deal with several people alone, but because he had to take care of the people, he was a little timid in his moves. The enemy seemed to have seen his weakness and deliberately attacked the unarmed people. However, even so, it didn't take long for the enemy to be wiped out, but their leader seemed to have strong martial arts skills and kept fighting with Liu Minsheng.
“Damn it!”
"Mother, mother, I'm scared, I want my father, wuwuwu..." The soldiers with hideous faces frightened the children and made them cry. One of the children was separated by the crowd and stood there crying.
"Mother, mother, where are you? Bao'er is scared..." Without a response from his mother, the frightened child could only cry helplessly. His eyes wandered around aimlessly in the chaotic crowd, but he could not find that familiar figure.
The two enemy leaders who were entangled with Liu Minsheng were obviously at a disadvantage. In a moment of urgency, he suddenly ran towards the child who was crying for his mother.
"Run, kid!"
Liu Minsheng shouted at the child anxiously, but how could a child of six or seven years old escape the pursuit of adults? Moreover, under such circumstances. The fear of not being able to find his relatives had already made him at a loss. Not to mention running away, he almost felt that he dared not move at all.
The next moment, he was clamped by an unknown man's arm. The force was so strong that it hurt him. Then, a cold steel knife was pressed against his delicate neck.
"Don't move. If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill this kid immediately." The tone of his voice sounded a little strange, and combined with his clothes, it was not difficult to identify.
"You are from Dayue." Liu Minsheng was concerned about the child's life, so he stopped all his actions and looked at the soldier who threatened the child with a heavy look in his eyes. "Brave and upright, not bullying the weak is the virtue of all soldiers. If you still admit that you are a warrior, put down the child in your hand. Using a child as a threat in a matter between soldiers is a loss of the demeanor of a soldier."
The steel knife was against the child's slender neck. As long as the man exerted a little force, this fragile life would be ended. Liu Minsheng was nervous at the moment. He was very careful with every word and every action he made, for fear of angering the man and hurting the child.
"Ha, bullshit military bearing, what's the point of having military bearing if you're going to lose your life? Don't waste your words on me. If you want this kid to live, get your men to back off and let me leave. You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise I'm not going to let this knife down!"
This man already knew that they were going to retreat and the direction of retreat. If they let him go, he would definitely report this to their master. By then, these people might... He could use a child as a threat now. If these people fell into the hands of the enemy and used to threaten the king, the consequences would be disastrous.
The hand holding the sword loosened and tightened, and for a moment he was a little hesitant.
"Bao'er, my Bao'er." Suddenly a woman rushed out from the crowd and burst into tears when she saw the child in the hands of the enemy. She knelt at Liu Minsheng's feet, crying, grabbing his robe with her calloused hands, "Sir, please, save my child, please save him, he is only six years old, he doesn't know anything, please save him, save my child, wuwuwu..."
His brows relaxed, his eyes slowly closed, the hand holding the hilt of the sword gradually loosened, and then there was a "clang" sound, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"Get out of the way, let him go."
"Sir!" The yamen runner beside him frowned when he heard Liu Minsheng's words. His meaning was very clear, he wanted to say that he must not let this man leave.
But what else can we do now? We can't just watch the child die.
"Get out of the way! No one listens to my orders!" He knew what they were thinking, but who could understand his helplessness? After repeating his words harshly with a heavier tone, the yamen runner reluctantly made way.
The man holding the child winked at another soldier, and the two of them walked slowly outside, back to back, one in front and one behind. Just as they were about to get out of the encirclement, something unexpected happened.
The kidnapped child actually bit the enemy's arm hard, then took advantage of the opportunity to push her hand away and ran towards her mother.
The bitten enemy felt pain and became furious, so he swung his knife at the child.
"Baoer, be careful!"
"Child, be careful!"
At this moment, everyone's heart was hanging in their throats. The scene seemed to slow down. The running figure of the child, the ferocious faces of the enemy soldiers, and the steel knife falling towards the child. Everything was reflected in the eyes of everyone present, so clear.
They are the most innocent victims of this war, which is the disaster brought by the war. Since we can't resist it, why don't we stand up and resist.
Liu Minsheng was quick-witted and flew forward, holding the child in his arms.
"Hiss!" The steel knife cut through his arm, leaving a deep wound, causing him to gasp in pain. If such a strong cut had landed on the child, he would probably not have survived.
"Sir, are you okay? The two enemy soldiers have been captured. Your wounds must be bandaged quickly." During this gap, the bailiffs rushed forward and captured the two enemy soldiers. The matter ended successfully.
Liu Minsheng waved his hand at the yamen runner and said, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious." He turned around and looked at the child in his arms. He saw that his eyes were full of tears, but he seemed to be holding them back so they didn't fall.
Looking at Liu Minsheng who was holding him with one arm, he didn't move, just staring at him. He always felt that this uncle's hands were very warm, and he just saved him, so he was a good person.
"Bao'er, Bao'er, my Bao'er, are you okay? Let me take a look." Bao'er's mother rushed over after a moment and checked Bao'er's body in panic.
"Mom, Baoer is fine, but the good uncle is bleeding." He stretched out his hand, pointed at the place where Liu Minsheng was injured, and said innocently.
Baoer's mother also reacted, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Liu Minsheng, "Thank you, sir, for saving my Baoer. Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. I will never forget your kindness in my life."
"Uncle Goodman, are you in pain? Baoer will blow air on you. Mother said that if you blow on the injury, the pain will go away." Baoer approached Liu Minsheng, then stretched out her little head to blow air on Liu Minsheng's wound, but was grabbed by her mother, who made them kneel on the ground with her.
"Lord City Lord, please calm down. I am just a child and I hope you will not blame me. I kowtow to you here."
Looking at Bao'er, Liu Minsheng smiled and said, "Get up. Bao'er is so cute. How can I blame him? Take the child away quickly. Bao'er is also frightened by the commotion. Go back and comfort him. If you need anything, just come to me."
After that, she turned her gaze to Baoer and said kindly, "Baoer, you are very brave. When you grow up, you will definitely be a man who can defend your country. You must listen to your mother carefully, so that you can grow up quickly. It's very chaotic outside recently, so don't run around outside. Stay at home and accompany your mother obediently, okay?"
"Okay, good uncle, Bao'er will be obedient and won't run around. Bao'er needs to grow up quickly so that he can protect mother and good uncle."
Baoer's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear his words. The men who had originally planned to evacuate suddenly felt ashamed. Even a child knew to protect his mother and the people, but they, tall and strong men, actually evacuated with the elderly, weak women and children in this war, seeking protection from the soldiers.
"Boss, where are you going?" Suddenly a woman's voice was heard.
Hearing this, the man paused with his heavy steps, then turned to his wife and said, "I don't have much ability, but at least I am a man. Now the enemy is about to attack, I should go to support the army. Although I have never been a soldier, I have strength and weapons. I don't believe that I can't kill an enemy."
After saying that, he turned around resolutely and walked towards the city gate. This move aroused the emotions of all the men present. As the man said, although they had never been soldiers, they still had strength and their own weapons.
Even if they cannot repel the enemy, they can still delay the enemy's attack and buy more time for the evacuation of their loved ones. Even if they exchange their lives for others, they can still make a contribution to this country.
The blood was boiling in everyone's heart. They looked at their loved ones and made a resolute decision.
"Mom, I want to go too." A burly man also came out.
"As for me, even though I am just an old man, I know a lot about medicine. Even if I can't fight on the front lines, I can use what I have learned to treat the wounded in the rear. I believe that as long as we are united in Tianze, no enemy can defeat us!"
"I want to go, too."
"I want to go, too."
"And me."
"Count me in."
…
In this way, the people who were originally preparing to evacuate decided to stay one by one. Among them were many women, who spontaneously stayed to help rescue the wounded.
This is the general trend and the will of the people. Faced with such a scene, Liu Minsheng had mixed feelings and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
These are his citizens, so brave and fearless, but if they go there, their life or death is uncertain.
Helplessly, Liu Minsheng could only retreat with the remaining old, weak and sick people.
The fierce attack of a million-strong army almost put the Thirteen States of Yanglin into a desperate situation. They were surrounded on three sides. The Tianze army fought bravely, but they were still at a disadvantage facing a million enemy troops. It was still difficult to withstand the suppression of the Seven-Nation Alliance.
Dugu Yingcheng issued an order, ordering the army he led to split into six groups, three of which were to reinforce the two wings and the city gates, and replace the first-line troops. The remaining half of the troops were to carry out secret missions and wait for the final battle with the coalition forces.
More than half of the nearly 30,000 troops in the Thirteen States of Yanglin were killed or wounded, and only a few were able to withdraw. More than 10,000 soldiers were buried here.
When the wounded soldiers came back, they saw most of the people. They were decocting medicine and bandaging, running around. They knew the order for the people to evacuate, but they didn't expect that so many people would stay and help them voluntarily. Although their wounds were still bleeding, they suddenly felt a warm breeze blowing into their hearts when they saw those simple faces that were worried about them.
Seeing the exhausted soldiers returning to the city and their robes stained with blood from defending their homeland, the people could no longer suppress their inner sadness and burst into tears.
Many of them have husbands, sons, and brothers fighting on the front lines. I wonder if they are in the same situation. Or maybe they don't even have the luck to come back.
As long as this war is not over, such days will not stop. So in order to win, they must do their best.
However, what they didn't know was that a more fatal blow was yet to come.
Although Tianze's troops were few in number, their morale was high, so they were surprisingly powerful in battle. Almost every soldier could fight ten at a time, and they fought without regard for their lives. This momentum alone created fear in the enemy's mind.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Even soldiers do not want to die in battle. So when they encounter such a desperate fighting style, they are really a little scared.
This phenomenon made the enemy leader furious!
"Useless! You are all a bunch of useless. Seven nations united, with a million strong troops, and they have been unable to take down a small Yanglin Thirteen Prefectures for so long. Now you are telling me that the enemy's desperate fighting style has affected our army! Are you soldiers? Are you sure you are not useless? When you said these words to me, did you feel embarrassed at all? Ah! Was there? Was there?"
Listening to his subordinates' report, the man in black was so angry that he could no longer be described as angry. He pressed his hands on the table, and the next moment, there was a "boom" and the purple gold wood table instantly broke into pieces.
Looking at these trembling losers kneeling in front of him, he really had an urge to kill them with a knife. If they were not still useful, he would have killed them all long ago. The people in the human world are really useless.
"Waste, a bunch of waste!"
"Sir, calm down, sir, calm down..." He couldn't help but tremble, and his back felt wet and sticky, very uncomfortable. This sir's temper was really... If he had known that he was so difficult to serve, he would have said he would never take this job.
"Calm down, calm down, calm down. Do you have anything else to say besides this? Do you have any other purpose besides kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy? If all you can do is beg for mercy pitifully, why bother fighting this war? You can just continue to live like ants under the feet of Emperor Shi Tian! Wouldn't that be great!"
"Okay, Mr. Envoy. They are nothing but a group of civil servants who are only good at talking on paper. With your status, why bother with a group of ants? Calm down. Don't you just want to deal with Emperor Shi Tian?" He was dressed in brocade and the crown on his head showed his status.
"Who are you? How dare you be rude in front of me?" His eyes were sharp, like a flying knife, falling straight on the person who came. Although he was the leader this time, he had never seen most of the people in the human world. Even the emperor had only seen Nangong Tianlan and Feng Xian'er. As for the kings of those small countries, he didn't even bother to meet them.
Judging from his attire, he should be a monarch.
"My name is Omi Makino. I know that the envoy is in a bad mood, so I came here specially to relieve your worries."
A pair of fox eyes smiled, and his attitude in front of the black man was extremely humble. Although Nangong Tianlan did not tell him the origin of the envoy, it was not difficult to guess from their attitude towards him. Apart from the people of the previous session, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could have such a big face to make Nangong Tianlan kowtow.
"Omi... Makino, you are..."
"I am the king of Dayue. It is normal that the envoy does not know me, as I am from such a small island country. Of course, it is not important who I am. What is important is that I can help the envoy relieve his worries."
"You guys should step back first."
When the people kneeling on the ground heard this, they crawled out of the tent as if they had been pardoned, leaving only the man in black and Omi Makino.
"You help me get rid of my worries? Then tell me, what are my worries?"
"If my guess is correct, the one who troubled the envoy is Emperor Shi Tian, right? The envoy wants to get something from Emperor Shi Tian. I wonder if what I said is correct?"
Hearing this, the black-clothed man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he grabbed Omi Makino's neck, his eyes were covered with gloom, and he asked in a low voice: "Tell me, who are you?"
"In reply to the envoy, I am Lord Otsuki, Omi Makino."
"How do you know that I want something from Emperor Shi Tian?" Ling Tian Sword is a divine object known to the previous generation, and it is also a treasure of the previous generation. It is impossible for mortals in the next generation to know about it. If he knows, there is only one possibility, he is from the previous generation.
What they did this time violated the laws of heaven and earth, so he had been forbearing. Even though these mortals were incompetent, he did not kill them. Because he still had to rely on them to do things.
