"From today on, I am the Lord of He City, and you are my people and are under my protection."
Zhong Yu's majestic words, with a loud voice, reached everyone's ears with the help of Zhenqi.
Suddenly, those at the bottom started talking, igniting the crowd who had been silent because of the majestic atmosphere.
Did you hear that right
The young man in front of him, who looked quite noble, actually said that he wanted to be the lord of this small town and protect them.
This is really good news.
Surprisingly, no one objected.
The small city in front of us is on the verge of extinction. It may be captured by demons at any time, and the residents in the city will also become their prey.
The Sword of Damos hanging above their heads constantly reminded them that their lives were not safe and they could die at any time.
Under such circumstances, what does it matter if someone comes to save them and protect them, even if the cost is to become a part of that person's rule
As for whether this was treason, whether it violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and whether it was considered a rebellion, these common people ignored them all.
At this point, they have finally figured out that the nonsense of the Ming Dynasty, the aloof and inviolable emperor, and the incomparably powerful imperial army are all fake.
At the critical moment, no one can be relied on.
Now, some mere monsters have bullied them to the point of losing large areas of territory, and they still have to give in humbly. How can we not make these abandoned Ming Dynasty survivors angry
You know, not long ago, the emperor they were originally loyal to gave up and packed them up and sold them to those monsters.
This kind of betrayal is implanted in the bone marrow and penetrates deep into the soul. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-and-death feud.
Naturally, the people in the whole city really had no good impression of the so-called Ming Dynasty, and were instead filled with hatred.
So soon after the words finally fell, there was a loud noise, then silence, followed by a sound that reached the sky and the earth, and finally turned into a torrent.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Just like that, with just one sentence, the entire city surrendered from the bottom of their hearts to this strange force that had just appeared and didn't even know its whereabouts.
Now the desires of the people in the whole city are very clear, and their needs are unexpectedly unified, that is...
Live and don't become food for the devil.
It's such a simple request, born of biological instinct.
As long as whoever can complete their choice, they can put down everything and surrender to that person wholeheartedly.
…
Gather the people in the city to go through the motions with them, declare their right to rule, and tell them that the city has changed its owner today, which is just a small matter.
It's just a small city. Even if this world has a profound background, it can't change the fact that this city is small.
Under these conditions, the strength of the entire city was very small, and it was impossible to form any resistance against Zhong Yu's army.
Especially now that the people in the city are unstable and have no faith, a powerful force suddenly appears and moves in. This is in line with the general trend and no one will resist at all.
After dealing with such a small matter, Zhong Yu still had more pressing matters waiting for him to deal with.
Although some of the troubles in the city have been resolved, the entire town is completely under control. Under Zhong Yu's huge accumulation of hundreds of worlds, he already has a sufficient talent reserve.
These people may not be very powerful, but they can still rule a small county, restore its order, and calm the fear of the residents in the city.
Not to mention that there are huge and countless troops stationed nearby, which is enough to intimidate all Xiao Xiao.
The small county town is not the key point, it is just to find a foothold.
The real focus is the demon army next to the county seat that is slowly recovering in size and is still strong and cannot be underestimated.
No matter what, there were still 30,000 demons left, and as word of this victory spread, demons from several countries around the Ming Dynasty heard about it, and more and more demons began to arrive, planning to participate in such a battle. A once-in-a-century event.
You know, although the humanity of this world is slowly suppressed by the demons, the entire demon clan slowly begins to recover and becomes more and more powerful.
But it is undeniable that the combined power of the entire human race is definitely far greater than that of the demon race, otherwise humans would not be able to occupy 70% of the entire world.
Almost all the land suitable for farming has been robbed, and those monsters can only live in the mountains and live a miserable life.
After all, it is the accumulation of the human race for tens of thousands of years. Over the long years, the accumulated power is so powerful that it cannot be competed by the slow recovery of the demonic path in the past thousand years.
It is precisely because of this that the demonic invasion of humanity is silent and small-scale, with no major actions at all.
Those who made big moves have long been wiped out by those human masters, so how could they have jumped up to this point
In terms of top-level combat power, the human race is far superior to the demon race, so naturally they cannot tolerate those demon kings coming out to cause trouble.
Take the Demon King of Huangshan this time as an example. If it were not for the war in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty and the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, which was not inferior to him in scale and level, many masters would have to guard against the pressure from the Jin Dynasty and would not be able to mobilize.
Otherwise, the Demon King of Huangshan would have been exterminated by the team of masters enshrined by the Ming Dynasty long ago, and how could he be as prosperous as he is today.
Separate territory and claim the title of king.
Nowadays, such large-scale invasions by monsters are not common on the entire continent, and can even be said to be extremely rare.
In the historical records of the mainland, the most recent time Lu Qing was 300 years ago was when a demon king in the northern border of the mainland advanced and achieved seventh-level power.
Later, with this strength, he entangled six sixth-level demon kings in the demon clan that respected the strong, and they were collectively called the Seven Saints of the Northern Territory. They also had hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers under their command, and their arrogance was overwhelming.
When this force first appeared, it not only caused shock among the demon clan, but also caused quite a commotion among the human clan all over the world.
When you are high-spirited, you will naturally do something shocking to set it off.
Therefore, the Seven Saints of the Northern Territory, who were overly proud, led more than 200,000 demon soldiers southward.
Unfortunately, the empire to their south is the most powerful Qin Empire in the northern part of the human race.
With farming and war as the foundation of the country, and meritorious rewards as the stepping stone, the Qin Empire's army is naturally extremely powerful, and is proud of all empires in the world.
In that battle, the most elite central army of the Qin court was not mobilized. Only 30,000 local frontier troops were dispatched from border counties and counties. They were led by a seventh-level governor and followed by two sixth-level lieutenants. This is how you approach the attack.
However, in just one month, more than 200,000 demon soldiers were defeated, and then they pursued them for thousands of miles and penetrated deep into the demon soil of the Northern Territory.
If it weren't for the fact that all the land owned by the demon clan in the Northern Territory was so barren that no food could grow even if the seeds were planted, the 30,000-mile Northern Territory might have been taken over by the Great Qin Empire.
However, as a result of this battle, all the Seven Saints of the Northern Territory were killed, and all the more than 200,000 demon soldiers under his command were killed. The entire demon clan's power in the Northern Territory was greatly damaged, and it has not recovered even now. The climate is difficult to achieve.
Because of this battle, all the monsters in the world no longer dare to peek into the various territories of the human race.
A mere Qin Empire was so powerful, so even if it was not as strong as the world's most powerful country alongside it.
But even if the legal system was not destroyed, the ancestral temple and the country are still passed down to this day, no matter how bad it is, it is still very easy to destroy demons like them.
Therefore, in the past 300 years, I have never heard of any place where the demon king dared to be so bold and frantic to invade human territory on a large scale.
Now that the Demon King of Huangshan has done it, and the most difficult level is blocked by the Jin Dynasty, it can be said that it is smooth sailing, there are basically no obstacles, and everything is natural to the extreme.
It can be seen from this that the Huangshan Demon King can have the current climate, which to a large extent represents a decline of human nature.
