All the defenders on the walls of Baimao City were dumbfounded. They were already ready for battle, but now they could only watch helplessly as Xia Lei led his army as they passed by Baimao City.
Why must we attack the city
Xia Lei's goal is to attract important figures from the Black Sun Empire to kill him and reduce the number of ultimate evolutions in the showdown with the Black Sun Emperor. This is his personal goal, but in terms of big strategic goals, he only needs to capture Doomsday City to collapse the empire, so why attack Baimao City
Attacking Baimao City was what the imperial royal family wanted him to do, drag the civilian resistance here and then eliminate it. But if they were passing by, it would be the defenders who were anxious. Your purpose is to attack my city. I won’t attack now. If I leave, do you want to pursue me? And once the defenders chased them out, lost the protection of the energy shield and the city wall, and fought on the plain, it would be like a wolf taking the initiative to find a lion and fight directly.
The army passed by slowly, but it was not a long snake that spread for dozens of kilometers, but passed by one piece after another in the form of a phalanx. This is also Pang Tong's strategy. Although he is passing by, he must pass by in a posture ready to enter battle at any time, so that even if the defenders want to attack the middle and rear of the army, they have nowhere to start.
"What is that guy doing?" Bai Hu spread his hands, "He just left like this? We have been preparing for this battle for half a month, and he just left like this?"
No one spoke to him.
Corpse Tu stared at the skeleton ghost horse walking beside the army, and Xia Lei on the horse. His heart was filled with hatred and extremely entangled. The civilian resistance army did not attack the city, but passed by directly. If the civilian resistance army was allowed to pass through and join forces with the City of the Sun in Doomsday City, even he himself did not know whether he, the commander of the Imperial Army, could still have his head on his neck. . He wanted to chase them out, but fighting on the plains, the more numerous and more united civilian resistance forces clearly had the upper hand, and they would be swallowed up if they were not careful!
To pursue or not to pursue
Shi Tu was so confused that he had no idea at all.
The head of the Twelve Saints, Yin Cao, also locked her sights on the skeleton ghost horse traveling alone next to the army, and Xia Lei on the horse. She was also feeling extremely depressed and anxious. The Dark God Cult had already customized several assassination plans for "Ye Kui" in Baimao City to kill this traitor, but they didn't expect that he would just leave like this. Has he ever understood how difficult it is for people to make those plans
"Hey!" Bai Hu seemed to have figured something out and shouted excitedly: "Ye Kui! You are a fucking coward! A coward! I thought you were a character, but I didn't expect you to be such a coward! You are not worthy of being a rebel. Commander-in-Chief, disband the resistance as soon as possible and go home to farm! Hahaha!"
The man on the skeleton horse didn't even look back.
Xia Lei ignored Xia Lei. Bai Hu was a little bored, but he soon found new fun. He grabbed an energy sniper rifle from a soldier's hand, put it on the edge of the city wall, locked on Xia Lei, and then fired One shot.
The energy bullet whizzed towards Xia Lei's back, but in an instant it hit the army's energy shield, causing ripples of energy like water. Although he seemed to be traveling alone, he was not separated from the energy shield of the army. Not to mention the energy sniper rifle, even the energy fortress cannon on the city wall couldn't blow up a blade of grass around him.
The dark world of death is dominated by cold weapons, which is actually related to the rune blood crystals in this world. People can enter without any hindrance, but energy attacks cannot. Fighting when both sides have energy shields and using long-range energy weapons to blast each other is tantamount to setting off fireworks. What can really solve the problem is cold weapons, so whether it is the defenders in Baimao City or the nominal resistance forces, they actually use cold weapons as the mainstay. The seemingly advanced energy weapons have become a auxiliary role.
"Damn! That guy is really a coward!" Bai Hu threw the energy sniper rifle to the imperial soldier.
Still no one talked to him, he was the only one who kept talking awkwardly.
At this time, the previous messenger returned to the city wall, came to Xitu's body, stood at attention and saluted, and then said: "Report to the commander of the army, sir, let you pass."
Hearing this, Corpse Tu's expression immediately relaxed. He nodded and prepared to leave.
The messenger turned to Yin Cao again and said, "Miss Yin Cao, sir, please come with me."
Yin Cao was stunned for a moment, but then nodded, "I understand."
"What about me?" Bai Hu said, "You didn't ask me to come over either?"
The messenger shook his head, "No."
Bai Hu was stunned on the spot, and after the awkward conversation, he stood up awkwardly.
After a while, Xitu and Yincao came to a noble's courtyard. Sitting next to a pond was an old man. His back was dry and thin, and his back was still hunched. With such a back view, people who saw him for the first time would doubt whether he could still move, or even suddenly fall down and leave this world forever.
But for such a dying old man, Corps Commander Xi Tu of the Imperial Legion bowed politely when he arrived, and his voice was full of respect, "Manager Yin Wolf, here I come."
The old man turned around, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were different from those of ordinary night watchmen. The night watchman's eyes were blue, but his eyes were black, blacker than ink, shining brightly, Captivating eyes.
Yincao also lowered his head when the old man turned around to show respect. She knew the identity of this old man. This Yin Wolf was the manager of the Black Sun Palace and had a very high status in the Black Sun Palace. He looks like a servant of the royal family, but those who know the truth will know that he is actually one of the most capable subordinates of Emperor Black Sun.
But she was also a little strange in her heart. It was rumored that Yin Lang had already entered into the ultimate plan, so why did he still have such a "shabby" body
"That guy just left like this?" Yin Lang's first words.
That guy obviously refers to Ye Kui, the commander-in-chief of the civilian resistance army. But even Yin Lang didn't know that "Ye Kui" passing by outside the city was actually Xia Lei.
Corpse Tu said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Manager." He then gave a brief description, "That guy came over alone and asked us to surrender. Bai Hu scolded him a few words, and then he left."
"I know the situation at that time. I just called you here to know what you were going to do. My mission is to kill that guy. I don't care about military matters." Yin Lang said.
Corpse Tu was silent for a moment and then said: "Ye Kui clearly understood what we were thinking. He led his army through Baimao City and went straight to Doomsday City to join forces with the Dragon King. This situation made us very passive, but it would be difficult for us to go out of the city to pursue. Defeat the more numerous and more united resistance forces. Many of our people are armed civilians and slaves with no fighting ability."
Yin Lang did not respond, but moved his gaze to Yin Cao, "A saint from the Dark Cult, I heard that this Ye Kui is actually one of yours, right?"
Yincao didn't speak, lowered his head and remained silent.
Yin Lang added: "I don't understand what the Pope is thinking. Isn't he already the king of the invisible empire? Does he have to be a real king to enjoy it? Without the secret help of your Dark God Religion, the people It is impossible for the resistance to develop so fast, let alone integrate into such a huge army, threatening the existence of the empire. Miss Yincao, can you tell me what your lord the Pope thinks?"
Yin Cao said without being humble or arrogant: "Master Manager, I can't comment on any of the Pope's thoughts and actions. However, we can't blame us for this situation now, right? Many of our believers are civilians and slaves, but they are bullied by the nobles. The most basic rights to survival are not protected, so they complain to the church and pray for help, so we can’t remain indifferent, right?”
"This is really an unsettled account. I am not qualified to question the Pope's behavior. I am just talking casually." Yin Lang changed the subject, "I know you have been to the rebel camp and seen the night. Kui. Tell me, what kind of person is he in your eyes?"
Yin Cao said: "That man is lustful, greedy, and arrogant, but he is definitely very smart. The Pope said that he could be forgiven, as long as he knelt down and repented, but he refused and followed the Dragon King without hesitation."
"Do you think he is really Ye Kui?" Yin Lang asked again.
Yin Cao nodded, "It's true, I'm sure, and the Pope is also sure of it."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Yinlang's mouth, "Then I'll be relieved."
Corpse Tu asked curiously: "Master Manager, do you have any plans?"
Yin Cao seemed to understand something, "Master Manager, do you want to..."
Yin Lang said calmly: "To defeat a kingdom, the easiest way is to kill their king. I don't expect to kill the Dragon King. He belongs to the emperor, but the commander-in-chief of a civilian resistance army is not in my eyes yet. Just Tonight, when the rebels camp, I will sneak into the rebel camp and kill Ye Kui. After I kill Ye Kui, I will send you a signal. At that time, you will attack with all your troops and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop."
Upon hearing this, Corpse Tu suddenly showed an excited smile, "If the General Manager takes action, Na Yekui is dead. Tonight I will lead the army out of the city, wait for the signal from the General Manager, and then wipe out this resistance army in one fell swoop."
Yin Lang looked at Yin Cao, "Miss Yin Cao, I know how powerful the twelve saints of the Dark God Religion are. Let's go together tonight."
Yincao hesitated.
Yin Lang said: "Miss Yin Cao, Ye Kui is a member of your Dark God Religion. Now he has betrayed your Dark God Religion. The mission given to you by your Pope is also to assassinate Ye Kui, right? You have to think clearly, although the Dragon King is not here , but the Dragon King sent two powerful men to protect Ye Kui. Without me, it would be impossible for you to complete your mission."
Yin Cao's expression changed slightly, "Master Manager, are you talking about Medusa and the Dragon?"
Yin Lang said: "I'm talking about Medusa and Long. Without me, could you assassinate Ye Kui under the protection of these two powerful men?"
"Okay, tonight I will go to the resistance camp with the manager." Yincao made a decision.
Medusa and the dragon, no matter which one they are, the Twelve Saint Maidens cannot face.
