An engagement banquet is simple, but also lively. The soldiers and people from Wancheng during the Three Kingdoms period toasted Xia Lei and Xiao Qiao with tea instead of wine, blessing the "new couple". Xia Lei accepted everyone who came, no matter whether the person toasting him was a gray-haired old man or a childish young man, he responded politely and without any airs.
You must know that the concept of respect and inferiority was very important during the Three Kingdoms period. When would a king be willing to drink with ordinary people? Let alone drinking and eating together, even sitting together is impossible. Therefore, his closeness to the people won the favor of the people and soldiers of Wancheng.
"The Dragon King is so kind and easy-going. All the county officials in our place are more arrogant than him."
"No, I'm really happy for General Qingyu. She married a good husband."
"General Qingyu is a very good woman. She and Dragon King are a match made in heaven. I can't find anyone more suitable than them."
"Hahaha, it seems that the day of having wedding wine is not far away."
"And the baby's full moon wine, hahaha!"
The soldiers and people from Wanwan City were chatting lively with almost no taboos.
These talks made Xiao Qiao extremely embarrassed, but her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.
For a while, Xia Lei raised his voice and said: "Soldiers and people from Wancheng, thank you for coming to the banquet today. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality. I married the best woman in your Wancheng, and I promise you , it won’t be long before you all live a good life. When you live in the floating city, you will drink sweet wine and eat meat. No one can harm you, and you can live and work in peace and contentment in the floating city!"
"Long live the Dragon King!"
"Long live the Dragon King! Long live the Dragon King!"
The soldiers and people from Wancheng suddenly became excited and cheered.
Woo-woo-woo-
Suddenly there was a deafening sound of trombones coming from the direction of the pass.
Xiao Qiao's expression suddenly changed, and she said nervously: "Oops, I'm afraid the army of the dead is coming to attack us again!"
The soldiers and people of Wanwan City also became nervous, and the excitement of the wedding banquet suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"I'll go take a look." Xia Lei put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Husband, I'll go with you." Xiao Qiao said in Xia Lei's ear with a small voice. This was the first time she had called Xia Lei husband. If she hadn't drank the engagement wine in front of so many people and soldiers in Wancheng, she would not have called Xia Lei husband even to death.
Xia Lei said: "No, I can just go by myself. Going to the battlefield is a man's business."
"But..." Xiao Qiao hesitated, her eyes full of worry, "What if your clothes are torn? I can also plug them for you."
Xia Lei, "..."
What a wonderful woman, as thoughtful as her hair, gentle and considerate.
"I'll go with you." Da Qiao came over and said.
Xia Lei said: "Sister, you also stay."
Just as Da Qiao was about to say something, a fast horse rushed over from the entrance of the village. Riding on the horse was Princess Mingyue of Changsha Kingdom. Before the horse stopped, her voice came over, "Dragon King, come with me." Go to the pass, the dead are here again, this time with a powerful figure!”
"Okay! I'm going now!" Xia Lei kicked his feet on the ground, and his body flew towards the pass like a cannonball.
In the village, Liu Mingyue's eyes swept over the people and soldiers of Wancheng drinking the engagement wine, and finally stopped at the sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
"General Qingyu! General Yunxia!" Liu Mingyue said in a deep voice: "Immediately summon the soldiers from Wancheng to the pass and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao looked at each other and did not reply immediately.
"Bold!" Liu Mingyue scolded: "Do you want to rebel?"
Da Qiao said: "We will go to the pass to fight, but this is not because of your order, but because this place is our common home. We are fighting for ourselves, for the Ghost Kingdom, not for you and the King of Changsha. We The king is the Dragon King!"
This is a public break!
"You guys - hum!" Liu Mingyue snorted coldly, turned the horse's head and gave the horse a hard whip.
The war horse was in pain and galloped, causing a cloud of sand and dust to rise on the ground.
"Sister, you stay, I will take the soldiers to the pass." Da Qiao said.
"No, I want to go together. My husband is on the battlefield. I want to fight with him. He needs me." Xiao Qiao's tone was firm.
the other side.
Flags were flying on the towers of the city wall at the pass, and there were crowds of people, creating a tense and tense atmosphere. In the direction facing the pass, dense crowds of dead people were pouring in like a tide.
This time the team was led by a pink skeleton. Its reminder was similar to that of an ordinary dead person, but its pink color and the black flames on the skeleton made it the most eye-catching presence on the entire battlefield. It held a huge long-handled scythe in its hand, and the weapon was like the reaping scythe of the god of death.
On the pass, Xia Lei's eyes locked on the pink skull. He thought of the skeleton he met in the Requiem Land. Compared with the one in front of him, the skeleton who was now working as a miner in the Suspension City was obviously not as strong as him. Both his own energy and momentum were weaker.
Xia Lei secretly asked in his heart: "The pink skeleton, is this a manifestation of evolution or gender? Could it also be the evolution of the spirit soul?"
The King of Changsha came over with a sad look on his face, "Dragon King, more and more people are dead, and the enemy generals are getting stronger and stronger. I'm really worried that we won't be able to hold on for long."
Xia Lei said: "Don't worry, this pass will not be broken as long as I am here."
"Thanks to you." said the King of Changsha. The reason why he was polite to Xia Lei was because Xia Lei could help Zhongtu defend the city.
Xia Lei didn't kill him because the King of Changsha could lead the soldiers of Middle-earth to fight, and Middle-earth also needed a leader. If it weren't for this reason, he would have killed Changsha King long ago based on what Changsha King and Liu Mingyue dared to do to him.
The dead came up like a tide, some climbed up the city wall, and some used axes to hack at the gate of the pass. Their offense never needed a command, it was just instinctive.
"Fight, use rockets." Xia Lei said.
The Changsha King nodded, and then shouted: "Rocket—shoot the arrow!"
Whoosh whoosh! Swish swish—
Arrows flew out from the city wall and behind the city wall, and thousands of arrows wrapped in fireballs rained down into the army of the dead.
Ordinary arrows cannot harm the dead at all, because even if they hit their vital points such as their hearts and heads, they can still fight. Only rockets could harm them, as the body fats of the dead were heavy and would burn easily if they were hit by a rocket.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom—
The catapults behind the pass were also dispatched, and burning fireballs filled with oil flew towards the army of the dead.
Boom! Boom!
Fireballs exploded, arrows rained down, and the area below and opposite the pass turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye. The bodies of the dead were already heavy with grease, and the battlefield suddenly turned into a sea of fire. With nowhere to escape, they naturally turned into firewood soaked in grease and burned to a complete mess.
But even though their whole bodies were burning, the dead people still waved their weapons and tried to open the city gate of the pass, and still stepped on the bodies of their companions to climb up the city wall. The scene was extremely weird and terrifying!
The morale on the pass was high and the soldiers roared continuously.
Xia Lei was indifferent to the results of the fire attack. He was the only one on the entire battlefield who could see the truth. There is simply no way to kill all of these dead people, because this is the world of death, the final destination of the dead. In the vast universe, countless civilizations, and tens of billions of years of time and space, how many people must have died? Unable to calculate!
No matter what victory these people in the past achieved or how great the results were, they could not escape their destined fate in the end. This is just Defascism giving them hope, and then destroying their hope, making their fear and despair stronger, and then eating everything they have!
"Tutta-tutta!" The pink skeleton suddenly raised its scythe high, and its voice was like spring thunder, which could be heard throughout the battlefield.
This seemed to be an order to retreat.
The army of the dead stopped charging, and some of the dead who were on fire also retreated. But before they could return to their own camp, the pink skeleton swung its scythe over. Dark energy surged, and the dead who were on fire were immediately swallowed up by the dark energy. The fire was extinguished, but when they left, there wasn't even any dregs left. The scene was like using a brush dipped in ink to erase a mass of red on the white paper.
The pink skeleton walked towards the pass. Every time it moved, its feet made a dull sound, and with every step, the ground around it trembled. Its body is surrounded by a ball of dark death energy, and the fire is extinguished wherever it passes.
On the wall of the pass, the soldiers of the Middle-earth Army were in a state of high morale just now, but as soon as the pink skeleton appeared, their morale and confidence were replaced by fear in the blink of an eye. People in the past are still human beings, and as human beings they cannot get rid of the fear of death and the fear of demons.
Xia Lei's eyes were fixed on the pink skull, and he also remained quite vigilant. What he was worried about wasn't actually the pink skull, but Defascius. He hasn't drunk enough milk of the past, the evolution of the world of death has not really started yet, he can't face Defascism yet, he can only hide!
In fact, he can do this as long as the tree robe and Yin iron clothes are not broken, because as long as he puts on the Yin iron clothes and tree robes, the breath of his body is the breath of death, and he is part of this world. In his current state, even the order of the death world cannot detect him, let alone Defascism.
However, due to the limitations of Yin Tieyi and Tree Robe, as well as the fragility of these two pieces of equipment, his hiding may end at any time, and he may be destroyed by the dark world of death! Therefore, he needs the milk of the past, and it is urgent!
"That person!" The pink skeleton suddenly said in Chinese: "Come out!"
ps: Some book friends said that the setting of the dark world of death is unreasonable, and also cited the butterfly effect. Let me explain here. My understanding is that the universe has life and death. This is the universe of death. It is boundless and constantly devours the universe of life, just like death is devouring our bodies all the time. Middle-earth is a special existence, which will be explained later. Defascism intercepted people from the past and brought them to Middle-earth. People from the past cannot affect the progress of history. Don’t some scientists assume that we exist in non-stop space? Of course, I am not a scientist, I just write novels, and I sweat profusely just to make you laugh. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate. Finally, let me remind you that this is not the whole world of death. Difascism is just a gatekeeper. His identity is like a ferryman in the Western world and a bull-headed horse face in the Eastern world. The destruction of the Eldar civilization is related to the world of death, which will be explained later.
