The mystery of Shengzhou has not dissipated, and many people are watching with cold eyes, waiting for the dust to settle.
This was the case for Goucheng Wendao who was far away in Shangzhou, and the same was true for Jiaya who was stationed in Ono Guanzhou. Jia Ya even thanked the army of savages, without them, it would be difficult for him to get out of the right and wrong circle of Shengzhou. Being a minister of the dragon is certainly glorious, but if you stand in the wrong team, you will be doomed. The risks are too great to imagine.
Risk is one, and he doesn't need to take such risks to add credit to himself.
What he was even more unwilling to do was to attack his former acquaintances.
No matter which camp the two sides are in, which one has no acquaintance with a few nods
Looking at a familiar face, lying in a pool of blood at his feet, he felt that it was difficult for him to face such a scene.
The savage army outside the pass is still clamoring, and everyone has already gotten used to it. Even the soldiers here were panicked at the beginning, but later got used to it. The savage army also tried to attack several times, and even found nearby tribes as guides, but they still failed.
Jia Ya couldn't help but admire that Mu Zhixia's Ono Guanzhou was built like an iron barrel. Mu Zhixia has considered almost every detail, and the achievements of decades of water milling are amazing.
Among the many generals, Jia Ya admired Mu Zhixia the most. The others have their own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior in combat effectiveness, but no one is as pure as Mu Zhixia. Mu Zhixia is like those old generals in history, pure soldiers.
He has never participated in any battles, and has been at the border for decades. He behaves frugally, loves soldiers like a son, and shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. No matter from which point of view, he is a model soldier.
Not knowing how Mu Zhixia is doing now, Jiaya is a little worried.
He knew about the fact that Mu Zhixia led his troops to infiltrate into Savage Continent, and Jiaya, who was conservative by nature, felt that it was a bit risky. But he also trusted Mu Zhixia's judgment. Mu Zhixia was decisive, resolute, calm, and possessed the best overall view among the five of them. Moreover, he has been operating in Ono Guanzhou for decades, and he is more familiar with the situation in Yerenzhou than they are. Since Mu Zhixia made such a judgment and decision, there must be his reasons and certainty.
Mu Zhixia's love for the soldiers has never been doubted, and he will never do anything to sacrifice the soldiers without any certainty.
During Jiaya's stay in Ono Guanzhou, he felt very clearly that Mu Zhixia's imprint was everywhere. As long as the soldiers left behind talked about Lord Mu Zhixia, everyone's respect came from the bottom of their hearts. Any disrespectful remarks towards Mu Zhixia will get a fierce reaction from them. When encountering this situation, they often beat each other up severely, and then consciously go to the Military Disciplinary Office to accept punishment. They never escape responsibility. Military discipline is more important than anything else, and it has become their instinct. It can be seen that Mu Zhixia's influence on them is extremely profound.
Every time he sees these soldiers, Jiaya feels a little admiration. The corps that Mu Zhixia spent 40 years building made him amazed. He had never seen the temperament of these soldiers in other regiments.
Even if Mu Zhixia was not around, they still insisted on training, no different from usual. They can endure loneliness, and they have never asked for flowers and willows. Their discipline is strict, their sense of honor is strong, and they are united as one.
There is no general who doesn't like such soldiers. Jiaya was a little ashamed, he was indifferent, and to put it bluntly, he was lazy. He couldn't put all his energy and thoughts on these soldiers like Mu Zhixia did.
In this regard, I am not as good as Mu Zhixia.
Hey, Guangmingzhou has suddenly become precarious. I don't know if it will be better if Mu Zhixia is around
But then he started laughing at himself for being naive, even if Mu Zhixia was there, what use would it be? No matter whether it is the temple or the alliance of giants, the general is just a knife in their hearts. How can a veteran border guard affect the situation? Will the Great Elder listen to him? Or will the giants listen to him
After this turmoil, I'll just retire myself, it's not interesting.
Jiaya felt a little uninterested, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
He is not addicted to alcohol, he just drinks before going to bed as a sleep aid. He's been feeling down lately, and he's been drinking more than before. There is no need for him to worry about defense. In some important positions, there are still left-behind soldiers stationed. This was their insistence, because they did not receive Mu Zhixia's order to switch defenses.
After several times of persuasion, Jiaya stopped insisting. These soldiers of Mu Zhixia Corps are more familiar with defense, more vigilant, and more responsible. They discovered the attacks of several savage tribes in advance. They have long been accustomed to the severe cold and snow here, and the soldiers under their command have complained to him more than once that the environment here is too harsh.
Other people's soldiers are more trustworthy than his own, which made Jiaya feel unhappy for a while, of course, these feelings were only for himself.
An important reason why Jiaya didn't insist so much was that he didn't think he would stay in Ono Sekisu for too long. Mu Zhixia might come back at any time, and she was only there temporarily to stabilize the situation, so there was no need to conflict with Mu Zhixia's corps over these matters.
Gradually, Jiaya became a little drunk, and he remembered their high-spirited appearance when they were young. At that time, Guangming Continent was so united. Everyone's mind was to expand the territory and unify the sanctuary.
What a wonderful time it was.
There were faint sounds of fighting outside, and his subordinates shouted angrily.
Savage night attack
He immediately woke up from his drunkenness, and got up abruptly. Before he could make any movements, a group of strangers rushed in abruptly. Jiaya's face changed drastically, how could the enemy even figure out where he slept? His first reaction was that there were traitors around him, but when he saw clearly the leaders, his pupils shrank suddenly.
A group of people surrounded him with swords and soldiers.
Instead, Jia Ya calmed down, looked at the leader, and said calmly: "Ming Hai, I didn't expect that it was you, Mu Zhixia, who surrendered to the savage?"
He knew the few people in the lead, they were Mu Zhixia's capable generals, so many of Mu Zhixia's soldiers appeared at the same time, his first reaction was that Mu Zhixia surrendered to the enemy. Even when this thought came up, he found it ridiculous. Mu Zhixia surrendered to the enemy? How can this be
If Ming Hai and the others hadn't surrounded him with a group of people, he would have felt that Mu Zhixia had been insulted just by the thought.
"Surrender? How could your lord surrender?" Ming Hai smiled bitterly: "My lord is dead."
Seeing the miserable smile on Ming Hai's face, for some reason, Jia Ya had a creepy feeling. He knew how tenacious and powerful Mu Zhixia's soldiers were. He never expected to see such a miserable smile on their faces. He subconsciously blurted out: "How did you die?"
"He was murdered by the temple!" Ming Hai gritted his teeth, his face was ferocious, and tears just fell down. Mu Zhixia's former subordinates around him were all tearful and gritted their teeth.
"Did the temple kill him?" Jiaya was dumbfounded. He had thought of countless answers, but he never thought it would be this answer. He forced a smile and said, "Why did the temple kill Mu Zhixia? This is really unreasonable. You guys Don’t be fooled by other people’s rhetoric.”
When he said this, he glanced at the stranger beside Ming Hai.
Seeing Jia Ya's gaze, Old Tang smiled and didn't speak.
Ming Hai shook his head: "No one can fool us. Your lord died in front of us. This is what your lord told us."
Mu Zhixia said it herself? Jiaya frowned involuntarily, the answer was beyond his expectation again, what happened
Ming Hai suddenly asked: "What's the situation in Shengzhou now?"
Jiaya, who was thinking hard, said casually: "Shengzhou has been blocked by Shengyan recently, and I don't know what's going on."
Before he could react, he heard Ming Hai and the others crying bitterly, sobbing uncontrollably. There was still a little luck in their hearts before, what the adults said was really appalling. But when they heard Jia Ya say that Shengzhou was blocked by Shengyan, as if struck by lightning, their last chance was completely shattered.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Jiaya stood up, looking at Ming Hai and the others who were weeping bitterly, for some reason, he felt even more uneasy.
"Dead, all dead, our family members are all dead." Ming Hai cried bitterly, unable to speak in tune: "My lord was burned to death by the holy flames. Anyone who has practiced the holy flames in Shengzhou will die. The temple needs them." Holy Flame..."
Jia Ya's face was full of disbelief at first, but suddenly, he remembered some obscure words that Mu Zhixia had said to him, as well as some rumors about the temple, his face turned pale.
His voice trembled: "You mean everyone in Shengzhou? As long as you practice Shengyan?"
Ming Hai wiped his tears and said bitterly: "That's right! My lord said that the temple needs to produce a lot of soul generals, and they need a lot of holy flames. That's why the temple has been promoting holy flames. In case of special circumstances, the temple will will..."
Jiaya's face became paler and paler, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
He has lived in Shengzhou for a long time, and his family members are all in Shengzhou. If what Ming Hai said is true, his eyes will go dark for a while, and he almost fainted.
He muttered to himself: "No, the Great Elder wouldn't be so insane, he didn't dare, wouldn't it be self-destructive to do so? How could such a smart person as the Great Elder do such a stupid thing? It must not be like this, Sheng Yan There must be other reasons..."
He seemed to be convincing himself that his voice trembled more and more, until it became choked up, and then he lost control of his emotions completely, crying like Ming Hai and the others.
Old Tang and Lao Tuan looked at Jia Ya and Ming Hai sympathetically, full of sorrow, and didn't know how to comfort them.
For some reason, even though Ono Sekisu was successfully captured, seeing a group of iron-blooded men crying bitterly, the two felt no joy of victory in their hearts. Such a human tragedy is truly heartbreaking.
But in any case, the last obstacle to their journey to the Holy Continent was gone.
