Mid-June of Emperor Yuan Dynasty.
Located in Xue County in the west of Qi State, the only remaining stronghold still resisting, Qufu City, was finally defeated by the fierce attack of 500,000 troops led by the coalition general Cao Cao.
After the city was broken, due to the heavy losses of the army, a total of 250,000 people were lost, which accounted for half of the total army. In order to appease the morale of the army.
Cao Cao ordered that the sword should not be sealed in Qufu City for 7 days.
Therefore, within seven days, the city turned into purgatory, and countless innocent souls were born.
However, before these innocent souls could dissipate, they were swallowed up by a flash of red light, and the original corpses of the innocent souls also quietly lost a small amount of blood.
These red lights were the real reason why Cao Cao ordered the massacre of the city.
In the previous war between the coalition forces and the Qin State, both sides suffered losses and sacrificed millions of troops. The sacrifices were huge and the deaths were terrifying.
But because of this, Zhong Yu refined 365 magic weapons.
And each of these magic weapons attracted the blood and souls of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. It can be said that it has been greatly nourished, has undergone a complete transformation, and developed its own spirituality.
Although this spirit is extremely violent and murderous, it possesses an indomitable and sharp spirit.
This is the unique murderous aura possessed by those soldiers who died tragically, which can destroy all tangible and intangible things.
Because of this spirituality, the worst of these 365 magical weapons are low-grade spiritual weapons, far beyond the category of magical weapons.
The bait that Zhong Yu originally released, the bloody long sword that Liu Bang brought for him, has reached the level of the legendary low-grade magic weapon, and can become one with its owner's body and mind.
When it was used, blood mist filled the air, and the sun could not be seen for dozens of miles, leaving only patches of red clouds. This red cloud can captivate the mind, dissolve the human form, and transform people into demons. Finally, they become the sword master's puppet and be driven by him.
Among them, there are waves of ghosts roaring, protruding from time to time, helping the sword's owner to kill the enemy. This is the soul of the hero who died in battle, the soul of the warrior who was picked up by the bloody sword, locked in the sword and tortured and driven.
The most important thing is that after being devoured and fused, these war spirits have become fourth-level first-class masters. They have no body, only illusory souls, and are difficult to attack with ordinary means.
In other words, these fighting spirits are completely immune to attacks from those below the level of first-class masters.
Only first-class masters who have understood their own unique will can kill these ghost bodies from the soul level with their own will.
And because they are spiritual bodies, and Zhong Yu does not have any training methods for spiritual bodies, these spiritual bodies only have this combat power, and they can really face other masters of the same realm as him in a life-and-death duel. I am afraid that I will fall into a disadvantage.
But even so, once the number of people increases, these small problems can be ignored.
The only thing that made Zhong Yu feel regretful was that there were too few fighting souls. Even if he tried his best to support them, they could only barely reach the number of Tiangang and Disha.
Just 108 fighting spirits.
But even so, the power of this magic weapon cannot be underestimated. If he is released, even if no one is driving him, it can determine the outcome of a battle involving millions of people.
All 365 magic weapons forged last time were finally given to his ministers of civil and military affairs as their personal weapons.
Moreover, Zhong Yu thoughtfully told them the blood refining method, so that they could refine these spiritual weapons into their bodies, which greatly enhanced their communication with the spiritual energy, and also made their connection with each other closer and inseparable. .
This has two advantages. First, it greatly enhances the strength of his ministers.
The second is that the core of these blood refining tools is still under his control. Now that these ministers have been refined, it means that their strongest strength and fundamental life gate have been controlled by Zhong Yu, and life and death are only a matter of a thought.
Coupled with Zhong Yu's penetrating influence on the depths of their core consciousness, their possibility of Zhong Yu's betrayal has been reduced to a miniscule, almost impossible level.
Therefore, with these two benefits, Zhong Yu will naturally actively promote it.
What's more, these ministers have long been very coveted for such refined weapons.
I have long seen the power of the most powerful divine weapons on the weapon spectrum. It is absolutely ridiculous to say that these ministers and generals have no regard for those weapons.
If nothing else, Zhao Yun, who had suffered the loss of the weapons in Jueying's hands before, had long been impatient with his desire for these weapons.
Therefore, after these weapons were distributed, these ministers happily accepted them.
However, after all, those weapons can only be equipped with high-ranking officials and generals of the empire. It is still difficult to popularize it for middle and low-level generals at the bottom, as well as some elite soldiers.
After all, Zhong Yu no longer has any rare materials at the level of spiritual weapons used to refine weapons.
But it doesn't make sense to just leave it alone. After all, these people at the bottom are the real foundation of the empire.
Therefore, Zhong Yu prepared some relatively rare and huge quantities of weapon refining objects, forged them separately, and then distributed them to various battlefields.
This time, although the workload was greater than before, the movements were lighter and less noticeable.
The reason is that there is no need to arrange an extremely detailed and extremely large magic circle as a medium.
Instead, he simply sketched some formations on the body of the Blood Refining Weapon to absorb souls and even blood energy. These formations can absorb the soul and blood energy not far away from the weapon, about thirty meters away. Then it devours them and grows.
Making such a weapon is extremely simple. As long as a weapon refiner has a certain foundation in drawing talismans, he can make one in a day.
As for the entire empire, in order to forge the 365 magic weapons, there were thousands of weapon refiners trained in this hugely expensive project.
These weapon refiners, under the orders of the empire, coupled with the full supply of materials, regardless of losses, consumed all the supplies and the empire's reserves in just one month.
But the results are also gratifying. A full 100,000 blood-refined weapons are freshly released.
These weapons were quickly distributed to the 100,000 elite hands that Zhong Yu had prepared for a long time. These people were masters who had been trained by the empire in this world over the years and were able to cultivate their internal strength.
However, the vast majority of them have only cultivated wisps of internal power. They are new to the third-rate realm and are not much stronger than ordinary people who have no internal power.
But at least, being able to cultivate their internal strength means that they have unlimited potential for progress.
