After the massacre just now, an inexplicable emotion arose in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies. It was not an excited morale, but a seed of fear and anger.
The battlefield was cleaned up quickly, and within a few moments, hundreds of thousands of people regrouped and stood in front of the city gate. Their movements were powerful and in unison. From afar, the dust was flying, giving a feeling of a strong wind and flying clouds.
Looking at the wide-open gates of Yanglin Thirteen States, the black-clothed man's mouth curled up into an evil arc.
Haha, he just didn’t believe that now that Emperor Shi Tian had fallen into his hands, what else could they rely on.
However, it is said that Tianze has a resourceful prime minister. Looking at the current situation, is he going to use the empty city plan to delay time? Even if his purpose is the opposite and he wants to lure the enemy into a trap, how many troops can he mobilize in such a short time to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops.
These soldiers were all lowly humans, and even if they were ambushed, it would only mean they would be reincarnated earlier. It was no big deal. As long as his mission was completed, he didn't care too much.
The big hand slowly rose up, then suddenly fell down.
The soldiers were like a surging torrent, pouring into the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanglin without any hindrance when the men in black opened the gates. Because the front row was full of infantrymen holding shields, their steps seemed extremely heavy, and the dust they raised made the view hazy, giving people the illusion that they were like devil soldiers from hell riding on clouds and mist, trampling on the flesh and blood of those powerless people with every step.
The wind suddenly blew away the blue sky and white clouds, and even the light seemed to become dim. Even so, the bloodthirsty smile of the man in black was still unusually clear.
The eyes of the gloomy serpent glowed with a faint green light, ready to rush forward and ruthlessly bite human flesh and blood. There was no sympathy or pity, but instead a perverted excitement. However, the next moment, something strange happened.
The moment the vanguard troops holding shields entered, the originally empty city walls were instantly filled with archers. They were fully armed from head to toe, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
The arrows were on the string, and thousands of them were fired at once. Dense arrows flew towards the enemy, wave after wave.
"Oh no, there's an ambush!"
The enemy army was instantly thrown into chaos, retreating while blocking the flying arrows.
Without the shields of the vanguard, soldiers fell one after another. The men in black and the kings of various countries were surrounded in the middle. Although they were scared, they were not in danger. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers acting as human shields for them, and they could not be hurt for a while.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The emperors of several countries were so frightened when they saw this scene that they kept shouting "Protect the emperor, retreat!"
In their eyes, dividing up the territory and snatching the treasures were not as important as their own lives.
The sudden change in the situation made the man in black angry.
Damn Tianze, knowing that their king is in his hands, he dares to be so presumptuous. It seems that they want Di Shitian to go to hell before them. In this case, don't blame him for being ruthless.
"Someone come here." As soon as he opened his mouth, a shadow guard appeared out of thin air and knelt in front of him. After giving a few instructions to the shadow guard, the shadow guard disappeared.
"Everyone calm down. Pass on my order and have the soldiers in front build a human barrier to resist the enemy's attack. This will buy time to come up with a plan to defeat the enemy."
The commander's order was issued, and the generals had to execute it. However, this human barrier was equivalent to sending their own soldiers to their deaths. Which general could bear it
"Sir, since the enemy is prepared today, why don't we withdraw and fight another day? A human barrier is too cruel, and secondly, I am worried that the enemy will have other methods. If that happens, our soldiers will die in vain, which is not only a loss of money but also a loss of manpower."
"Yeah yeah."
"That's right. I think we should retreat now and avoid their attack. We know Tianze's military strength well. They can't hold out for long. Why sacrifice them in vain?"
"That's right."
…
Kings and generals of various countries all agreed. In fact, they didn't really have any wisdom, but just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. After such a toss, they seemed to have forgotten the methods of the man in black in front of them.
"Are you questioning my decision?"
Suddenly, a cold gaze loomed over their heads. Although it was still autumn, they felt a biting chill. This chilling feeling brought back the horrible memories from before.
"No, no, no, I don't dare. Go and carry out the adults' orders quickly, and don't make any mistakes!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the adults are very resourceful, how can we compare with them. What the adults say must be right, we will definitely execute it, we will definitely execute it."
The man in black sneered at the faces of the crowd that had become fawning because of fear. If they were not still useful, he would have disdained to say a word to them.
"I know you are all very uncertain at the moment, and you all think that I can't think of any corresponding strategies, right?"
"No, no, no, my Lord is wise and powerful, and he will definitely come up with a good solution."
"Yes, since we have nominated you as the marshal, we naturally trust you wholeheartedly."
…
In fact, apart from flattery, he really didn't see any other specialties from them during the time he spent with them. Such people can become the top people, no wonder the talent of this continent is dwindling and gradually declining.
"Okay, find someone with a loud voice and have him shout to the people upstairs. If they don't want to see the corpse of Emperor Shi Tian now, they should stop attacking immediately, lay down their weapons and surrender. Perhaps, I can show mercy and let them live."
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Emperor Shi Tian was in the hands of the man in black. Emperor Shi Tian was a god-like existence in the hearts of Tianze's subjects. If Emperor Shi Tian was pulled out and placed in front at this time, not to mention that there would be arrows, there would probably not even be anyone to say anything high-handed.
As long as Di Shitian is taken hostage, Tianze will be easily captured.
They thought their wish to divide up Tianze's land and treasures was going to be shattered, but they didn't expect this to happen. In this way, they not only saw the dawn of hope again, but also took a big step towards their ideal.
Hahahaha, I feel happy just thinking about it.
Although this man in black was a bit arrogant, Emperor Shi Tian did a great job in this matter and they didn't have to be frightened for so long.
I thought that after such a shout, Tianze's soldiers would immediately stop attacking, but unexpectedly, they acted as if they didn't hear anything and increased the speed of shooting arrows.
"Damn it, what's going on here! How could this happen?" Didn't they say that Emperor Shi Tian held an important position in Tian Ze? Didn't they say that Emperor Shi Tian was deeply loved by the people of Tian Ze? It didn't look like he was deeply loved at all. It would be more appropriate to say that they hoped Emperor Shi Tian would die soon...
With a casual grab, he pulled an unknown general to his side.
"Isn't it said that Emperor Shi Tian is very important? Why haven't they stopped attacking even after I told them that Emperor Shi Tian is in my hands? Instead, their attack has become more fierce?" The hand that was holding the collar kept tightening, veins on the back of his hand bulged, and he clearly sounded gritting his teeth in his tone of voice.
"What exactly went wrong? You'd better explain it to me. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving here alive." Damn it, he, a dignified spiritualist, was actually angered to this extent by a mortal.
"Hui Hui Hui... replying to your words... this, this, this... this shouldn't be... Sir, please calm down... Sir, please calm down... It must be that the voice of the one who shouted was not loud enough, so... so the other party didn't hear it clearly... It must be like this..."
He threw him aside with a fierce blow, and then ordered all the soldiers to shout together: "Emperor Shitian is in our hands. If you put down your weapons and surrender immediately, you will be spared."
"Emperor Shitian is in our hands. If you put down your weapons and surrender immediately, we will spare your life!"
"Emperor Shitian is in our hands. If you put down your weapons and surrender immediately, we will spare your life!"
…
Sure enough, this time it seemed to work. The attack from upstairs gradually weakened and then stopped.
"Look, sir, I didn't lie to you, did I?" The general who had just seen this came forward and asked for credit with a smile. Unfortunately, the man in black didn't even look at him, but instead focused on what was happening on the tower.
A young man in a white cape and a first-class crown walked out slowly. His face was as white as jade and he was gentle and elegant.
"Look, sir. That's Prime Minister Tianze, and the right-hand man of Emperor Shi Tian—Dugu Yingcheng." Although the man in black ignored him, he still stuck to him. There was no other way. He was a marshal. Didn't you see that emperors of various countries dared not to offend him? Maybe if he held on to this thigh, he would be able to rise to prominence in the future.
"Dugu Cinema!"
"Yes, it's him. It is said that Dugu Yingcheng is only 10 years old, but he is very resourceful and has helped Di Shitian solve many difficult problems. Now that Di Shitian is in the hands of the adults, there can be no one else in charge of Tianze except him."
After hearing the general's words, the man in black raised his eyebrows.
"So, if Emperor Shi Tian died, the biggest beneficiary would probably be this Prime Minister."
He naturally understood the meaning of the man in black's words, but...
"Your Excellency may not know that the relationship between Dugu Yingcheng and Di Shitian is extraordinary, and they are friends who are willing to risk their lives. Therefore, Dugu Yingcheng will never betray Di Shitian."
If that was the case, then he was overthinking. It seemed that just now, the other party had indeed not heard the news about Emperor Shi Tian. He thought that this Dugu Yingcheng wanted to kill Emperor Shi Tian and become the emperor himself.
"Prime Minister Dugu, right? Emperor Shi Tian is in my hands now, but whether he lives or dies depends on whether Prime Minister Dugu is willing to cooperate."
"Oh? Since my king is really in your hands, I will naturally cooperate. I believe you also know the importance of my king. Nothing is more important than his safety. But I don't know how you want me to cooperate?"
