Isn't this quiet?
When the words fell, the whole place was really silent.
Everyone's attention was first attracted by the headless Karoli, and then looked at the young Taoist.
Suddenly, more than a thousand bodies began to tremble.
Some people are resentful, some are horrified, and some are afraid...
"The second captain is dead!"
"Killed instantly by someone who doesn't know his origins!"
"Devil, wuwu, is he a demon?"
Someone was crying and exclaiming, thinking that Zhang Taichu was some Demon King-level powerhouse in disguise.
"It's so noisy."
Zhang Taichu said something coldly.
Then the whole place fell silent again.
Everyone was trembling, gritting their teeth and not even daring to fart.
Even the members of the White Crane Group standing behind him covered their mouths with their hands, not daring to breathe.
Everyone in the White Crane Lord knew that Zhang Taichu had the strength to suppress the demon king, but they didn't expect that the other party would still have enough power to kill the second king-level monster so easily after just a few hours. Strong!
"It's just like chopping vegetables and melons, it's gone in a pop."
"The leader is here, but he doesn't have the ability."
The corners of Alu's mouth trembled, but the eyes he looked at Zhang Taichu became more respectful and hot, as if he were looking at a living god.
"But things are getting bigger and bigger. Carlos is dead, and now even people at the captain level are dead, and they are all close relatives of the captain... We, we really can't escape our involvement." There was an older woman with a pale face who couldn't help muttering in a low voice, with fear in her eyes.
The composition of the city-leaving guard army is generally composed of fifty people in a small group, ten small groups in a squadron, ten squadrons in a large group, and ten large groups in a regiment.
There are ten legions in the entire city, and the total number of regular troops is close to half a million. In addition, there are personal guards and a large number of reserve camps, soldiers under the age of 900 who are still underage, and many who have left. The veterans of the legion stayed among them.
Carlos' biological father is the leader of the First Survey Corps.
Karoli, who was just killed, was the captain of the second brigade of the Corps.
And they are just a small team, but now they are tightly tied to a warship with their benefactor. Regardless of whether they were rebels before, they are now.
And judging from the current situation, the hatred between them and the commander of the corps has reached an unending level.
After careful consideration, it seems that they are really going to die.
After all, even if you have the strength to kill the Demon King, you can't resist the power of a city!
This is the thought of many pessimistic people.
But there are still people who hold the same views as Aru, and put all their remaining hopes on Zhang Taichu, vaguely expecting that the other party can lead them safely through this unreasonable disaster!
·
·
at the same time.
The soldiers of the corps who were watching the battlefield on the top of the city immediately turned on the observation device on the top of the city to observe the situation below when they saw Carolli leading the guards to stand up for Carlos.
When they saw Carlos being killed, the soldiers on the top of the city boiled.
However, everyone was horrified when they saw Karoli being killed instantly.
"Karoli has the strength to kill the Demon King alone. He has clearly reached the king level. The mysterious man killed him instantly... and there was another person who suppressed more than a thousand personal guards."
"This...this, this kind of strength is already comparable to that of the captain!"
"You are still obsessed with this. A captain has died. Let's report it immediately! This happened to our Bingmen!"
"oh!"
The soldiers on duty reacted and immediately took action nervously, reporting the situation to their superiors. At the same time, they watched nervously with lookouts at the entrance to the city wall.
"Captain, do you think we should go down and stop them?" A soldier said nervously, and then received a big slap on the head.
"Stop? Stop with a hammer? Didn't you see that even the muscle tyrants are dead? Do you think you live too long?"
The captain of the patrol on the road looked like he hated the iron. He looked at the movement under the city wall and murmured: "Besides, it would be a good thing for legion bugs like Carlos and Muscle to die..."
The soldier nodded repeatedly, covered his mouth again, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, captain, I won't tell anyone."
The patrol captain chuckled and shook his head.
·
·
Under the city gate.
More than thirty people were standing, and more than a thousand people were all kneeling on the ground, speechless and without the slightest ability to resist.
When things got to this point, even Kuroyu Qingqian didn't know how to deal with the aftermath. Looking at Zhang Taichu who looked calm, he felt at a loss.
"Just because of my relationship, I have implicated my benefactor, and also implicated everyone. I..."
She was confused, her face was heavy as she lowered her head, and she felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
"It's fine."
Zhang Taichu's voice suddenly sounded, and he turned around with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Nothing will happen to any of you today."
"Believe me."
"As for those who look down upon those who seek death, I do as they wish."
He said with a smile like the little brother next door on his face.
The soothing tone and gentle smile reveal great confidence.
Black Feather was stunned, and everyone in the White Crane group was also stunned.
The sense of life and death crisis in his heart could not help but weaken.
Aru, who was very nervous, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome."
·
The news of the sudden death of the regiment leader's son and biological brother seemed to have grown wings. In just a short time, it spread to the end of the city wall hundreds of miles away.
"What about the stupid son of the leader of the First Investigation Corps? And a captain died?"
"Were they killed by outsiders who were also members of the human race?"
"Hahaha, it's like God has eyes!"
"Shhh... please keep your voice down. We are not far from the garrison area of the First Corps, so don't make any noise."
"Hey, I'm going to eat an extra pound of black rat meat and rice wine to celebrate when I go back tonight..."
For a time, the same conversation happened in every corner of the city.
The news spread from the city gate to the military tents stationed under the city wall, then to the residential areas in the inner city, and all the way to a solemn palace somewhere above the Gobi.
The palace rises from the ground and is built entirely of black boulders. The entrance is carved with images of weapons and soldiers, and guards wearing black armor are on duty on both sides.
In the deepest part of the palace, someone was carrying a glowing bead, hurriedly passed through the corridor, turned two corners, stopped suddenly in the hall, made a fist with his right hand and placed it on his left chest, with his left hand on his waist. Finally, he lowered his head and said nervously: "Captain, something happened."
——
The main hall is empty and dim. There are twelve copper pillars engraved with patterns of weapons and monsters extending from the door to the inside. They are thick and strong.
In the gaps between the copper pillars, there are low copper tables arranged regularly, with leftovers and cold dishes scattered all over them, making it a mess.
At the top of the hall, on the stairs made of black floor tiles, you can see a red animal-patterned seat, with a white-haired strong man with a rough face sitting on it.
The strong man has short white hair and wears a red dragon leather vest on his upper body. His exposed skin is glowing hot red. His lower body is naked. Even after a night of joyful and hard fighting, he can still see a pillar holding up the sky.
He put one arm on the armrest of the seat, turned half of his head and fell asleep. His huge body made the originally domineering animal pattern seat look stingy.
Li Cheng·First Survey Corps Commander——Karon Monmaru
The waiter who stood obediently outside the main hall received no response after respectfully reporting, so he cautiously raised his gaze and looked at the figure at the end of the main hall.
Seeing that the latter was still suffering from a hangover, he gritted his teeth. After a fierce psychological struggle, he finally tiptoed into the main hall, passing by thick copper pillars and standing next to the captain. He stopped at the foot of the front steps.
boom--
The waiter used his true energy to protect his knees and knelt down suddenly, shaking the ground and making a violent sound.
The sound echoed in the empty hall, like an alarm bell, making the white-haired old man in the main seat twitch his ears, showing signs of waking up.
"Captain! Something bad has happened!"
The waiter was crying, supporting the ground with his hands, and a trace of tears appeared on his face.
But still no one responded.
After a dozen breaths.
A snoring sound gradually sounded.
The waiter looked confused and looked up at Caron who was still sleeping soundly. His heart sank, but he did not dare to come forward and disturb him. He could only sob to himself:
"Uuuuu, Captain, Carlos, Master Carlos was just hacked to death by a stranger. Uuuu, he died so tragically~"
"And your brother, Captain Carolli, was also killed by the stranger. He did not die gloriously on the battlefield, but died violently at the gate of the city. Wuwuwu..."
"They died well—"
Before the waiter could finish crying, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and his throat was tightly clamped by a huge force, and he was carried away from the place.
In front of him was a face that was even more ferocious than Greymon.
"What did you say!"
"My son and brother are dead!"
"Who did it? Who did it?"
Karon's eyes were red, and because of his anger, high-temperature steam escaped from his body.
He pinched the waiter's neck with one palm, like holding down a chicken, and pushed the waiter against a copper pillar.
"Woooo..."
The waiter's face turned red, and he clasped his hands on the pinched neck, feeling that his throat bones were about to break.
Facing a power that far exceeds that of an ordinary king, it is like facing the abyss of death, making his mind shaken and frightened!
Karon's red eyes as big as copper bells narrowed slightly, and his iron palms opened a gap, allowing the latter to breathe.
"The people who killed your son and brother are right outside the gate of Bing City."
"The opponent is very powerful, and of unknown origin, he easily suppressed the captain's thousand personal guards!"
"Right now, I'm waiting for you to come over now——"
The waiter trembled, not daring to show any slightest indifference, and reported back the information as stated.
So Caron, who still had a dazed look on his face, immediately woke up, gritted his teeth and almost wanted to spit fire out of his eyes.
Click——
He crushed the throat bones of the waiter in front of him with a slap, causing the bloody and rotten meat to spit out along the other's throat.
boom--
Kalon threw the body behind him and shouted: "Send the order, the first survey corps will stay in the city and those who have nothing to do will be fully armed. They will appear at the C-shaped gate in a quarter of an hour. Those who can't get there will be fined 500 coins." !”
The sound was like the roar of a giant beast, which made the messengers who were guarding outside the hall with their heads down turned pale. They hurriedly answered yes, turned around and went to make arrangements.
"Take my captain's armor, and I will go to Bing City Gate first to suppress those who harmed my son and brother's life!"
So after a dozen breaths, a maid immediately ran out from the side doors on both sides of the hall.
They used the wooden sticks they set up to carry the pieces of armor together until they came to Caron, helping him put on the armor.
Soon, the sturdy white-haired old man put on a pair of domineering armor.
The surface of the armor is connected with magnificent thick red scales, which can reflect colorful light at different angles.
The belt is sewn with two dragon tendons, the helmet is polished with the hardest dragon eyebrow bone, and the joints are embedded with snow-white dragon teeth.
The moment he put on the armor, Caron's momentum became even more violent, and his gaze was breathtaking, as if the dragon was reincarnated, making everyone tremble.
He put his hand on his waist and walked out of the hall with the handle of the giant sword made of dragon bone mixed with black iron essence.
At this moment, there were two exotic birds with black scales in the air, pulling a bronze chariot with the light of runes flowing, and drove them to the front of the main hall.
Caron's every step seemed like the mountain was shaking, and he sat firmly on the bronze chariot.
The two huge exotic birds had intelligent eyes, spread their wings that were three feet wide, flew into the sky with a roar, and pulled the bronze chariot towards the outside of the city under the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards and maids on the ground.
The chariot was extremely fast, with red rune light flowing on its surface. It was driving over the Gobi Desert, crossing like a fireball, and the ground was also imprinted with red light.
At the same time, within the huge city, the members of the First Survey Corps all over the place also changed their expressions after receiving the signal from the communication beads in their arms.
Thousands of people closest to the C-shaped city gate took action at the same moment.
They put down what they were doing, rushed home, put on their armor, picked up their weapons, turned around and rushed towards the C-shaped gate.
Many young, old, women and children who lacked fun in life also went to join in the fun after learning that someone had assassinated the regiment leader's son and brother at the city gate.
The movement soon spread further afield.
Other regiments received the news one after another, and many soldiers and officers who were in their spare time came towards the C-shaped gate.
"Oh, he claimed to be a visitor from a foreign land and killed a captain instantly. His strength is comparable to that of a captain? Interesting..."
"According to the temper of this old bastard Caron, he will probably go crazy after losing his son and brother. You must go see this excitement!"
"The C-shaped city gate is only two hundred miles away. I am going there alone. There is no need to send out personal guards to follow."
Several of the other captains of the Survey Corps were also attracted by the news. They happened to have nothing to do, so they set off one after another and quickly headed towards the C-shaped gate.
For a moment, the huge city of Li was completely shaken by the two lives!
The entire city wall alone is five hundred miles wide.
Strictly speaking, the large area behind the city wall, all the way to the edge of the continental plate, is within the scope of Licheng.
In this one million square kilometers of land, tens of millions of people live.
Seventy percent of the population lives within the tens of thousands of square kilometers closest to the city wall, and is guarded by ten regiments.
What happened in the area belonging to the C-shaped city gate, through the rapid spread of the communication beads, caused a sensation in the whole city in a very short period of time!
It can be seen that there are strange beasts flying across the sky pulling a flaming chariot, which is a travel treatment only available to the leader level.
It can be seen that in every corner of the city, there are many heavily armed figures rushing onto the streets, or running from the vast Gobi Desert, heading towards the thousand-foot-high city wall.
"The fat pig who hasn't bathed for ten years is dead. He is the son of the leader of the First Survey Corps... The leader is going to avenge him!"
"How did you die? Was it killed by a demon?"
"I heard that it was because of a woman who provoked a mysterious strong man who shouldn't be provoked. I heard that the death was miserable, with no bones left. Even Karoli, who went to avenge him, was decapitated with one blow!"
"Is this happening? We must go and see!"
More and more people are flowing towards the city wall.
After passing the test of the magic circle, the residents of Licheng successfully reached the top of the city through the teleportation array, and observed the situation below the city through the observation device.
When they saw the neat, thirteen hundred figures in red armor, all kneeling down towards the young man, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It's true. There really is such a strong man. He didn't even wear armor. He looked very young and suppressed more than a thousand personal guards!"
"That headless corpse is Karoli. When he returned triumphantly from killing a demon king five years ago, he wore that armor. He actually died at the city gate."
"Members of the Corps were not able to die on the battlefield fighting demons, but were killed by fellow human beings instead. It is really sad..."
"Do you know what happened? Don't you know what bastards Carlos and Karoli are? They deserve to die!"
"Look, the Flame Chariot is here, it's the leader, and the leader is here in person!"
Amidst the discussion, someone excitedly pointed to the sky behind the city.
Everyone turned their gazes and looked over, just in time to see the two majestic birds flying over the top of the city, pulling a red chariot from far to near.
Buzz——
The terrifying aura revealed from the chariot made many people's legs and feet tremble, unable to even stand firmly.
"This is Captain Kalon's flame chariot. This aura... it must be him without a doubt!"
"Coming, coming, the climax is coming!"
"I'm going to use a recording crystal to record everything and then sell it to those who can't come to the scene in time -"
In the eager anticipation of many residents, members of the First Survey Corps from various districts also arrived one after another with solemn faces. Without any pause after climbing to the top of the city, the followers' flaming chariot descended outside the city gate.
Boom——
Boom——
It was like a thunderous explosion.
Chariots of fire hovered in the sky.
Most of the millions of mysterious patterns on the C-shaped city gate suddenly lit up.
Even the originally dark city wall was lit up with red flames in a large area, exuding the power of vast runes.
In the light, heavily armed figures appeared one after another. With the help of the city wall formation, they were suspended in the air, like divine soldiers descending from the sky. There were tens of thousands of them.
"That's right, the leader is here in person!"
"It's Captain Karon here!"
Alu exclaimed, reminding Zhang Taichu to be careful.
"This way of appearing is indeed different."
Zhang Taichu looked at the chariot in the sky, smiled and shook his head. Instead, his attention was attracted by the illuminated runes on the city wall, and he quickly became immersed in it.
"The runes here are similar to the runes deep in the Bagua array, but they are much simpler, like a special version that has been arranged and combined."
"Just now I used my mental power to condense the rune sequence that is the same as the city gate pattern, and also mastered the Li character fire formation."
"This formation seems to be used to bless these alien soldiers. Can I also master it?"
While he was thinking about it, he immediately searched for similar existences among the billions of primitive runes in his mind, and started trying according to the arrangement of the city gate formation.
"I am the leader of the First Investigation Corps. I heard that someone dared to assassinate an important officer of our Corps outside the city gate, so I came here to find out the truth."
"The situation is confirmed without a doubt. My son Carlos and my brother Caroli are both people who sacrificed their lives for the city and the people, but they were persecuted by their fellow humans."
"You murderers really deserve death. Nine deaths cannot atone for your sins!"
"Why don't you just catch me without your hands!"
Caron's majestic voice came from the flame chariot.
Immediately afterwards, the chariot circled from high altitude, swooped down, and arrived at a place only tens of feet above the ground, stopping in front of nearly 10,000 suspended corps soldiers.
With the blessing of the city wall, the momentum exuded by ten thousand people was so majestic that everyone in the Baihe Group turned pale, as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs, and they couldn't help but kneel down.
The large number of soldiers and residents who were watching on the city wall were also shocked by Caron's powerful Qi breath. They stared directly at everything that happened in the field, thinking that they were enjoying a wonderful show.
"The seventy-seventh generation of the corps is named White Crane. The squad leader Kuroba Qingqian and thirty-one of his accomplices colluded with people from the outer city and persecuted the squadron leader Carlos and the group captain Karoli, who were subordinate to the corps."
"According to the law of leaving the city, these thirty-two people should be punished with death!"
"Those who are blood relatives within three generations above and below shall be escorted into slavery!"
One of Karon's cronies spoke up and quickly convicted Black Feather and his party.
The words increase the power of the runes, bringing an even stronger sense of oppression.
Qi Hai, a member of the White Crane Group, was confused. Even if his eyes were unwilling, he could only kneel on the ground.
Even Kuroyu Qingqian, the squad leader, turned pale at this moment, her knees creaked, and she was about to be unable to withstand the huge pressure.
"Suppression!"
"Suppression!"
"Suppression!"
The nearly 10,000 members of the Survey Corps roared one after another, causing the voices to converge together to create an even stronger sense of oppression.
With the blessing of the power of runes, the substantial sound waves merged into a red dragon with its mouth wide open, hovering and flying in the air, and suddenly fell towards the place where Zhang Taichu was.
Rumble——
The young Taoist remained motionless, allowing the dragon to swallow his body.
Seeing this scene, Hei Yu was shocked and broke free from the pressure. His seven orifices oozed red blood, and his voice was stern: "What kind of bullshit law is this? Whose truth is it? I don't accept it!"
The woman's shrill voice became very weak after passing through the menacing shouts of thousands of soldiers, but it was still heard by many people.
They were all soldiers under the First Corps. Many of them had friendships with the White Crane Group and knew something about Kuroba Qingqian. Therefore, after hearing the other party's cry of injustice, their expressions became hesitant.
"Isn't that the White Crane Group? They are obviously brave and skilled warriors. They also saved my life from the tide of demon spirits. When did they become city rebels?"
"I've long heard that Carlos, that scumbag, has been pestering Black Feather. There must be something fishy in this."
"Don't even look at their relationship with the group leader."
"Shh, keep your voice down—"
Even if someone complains, they don't dare to stand up, for fear that they will become the next "White Crane Group to rebel against the party."
But they still secretly reduced their true energy output, making the pressure of the formation a little weaker.
Rumble——
The red fire dragon formed by gathering the power of thousands of soldiers and large formations is still ravaging Zhang Taichu's figure, trapping him in the flames and refining him alive.
On the side, Kuroyu Qingqian, despite being beaten to death, still refused to kneel down and angrily shouted at the chariot in the sky: "If the law in Li city was fair, Carlos would be a slave to the tide of demons, and would be timid and not fight. He would fight repeatedly." Where were you when you stole our team's battle exploits?"
"If the law in Licheng is fair, I have reported Carlos's evil deeds several times, but why has there been no response?"
"Today, according to the law of leaving the city, I brought my fellow humans into the city, but I was blocked by the Carlos Fire Formation for no reason. What kind of reason is this? And what kind of law is it? It's just your own reason, the leader!"
She said stubbornly, even if the pressure on her body became stronger and stronger, even if her bones bent and made a shattering sound, even if her vision was blurred, she still spoke out at the top of her lungs.
The sound came out so that all the soldiers present could hear it.
The soldiers and residents who were watching from the top of the wall also captured Kuroyu's accusing voice through the remote observation array device and were touched by it.
They naturally believed in each other. After all, in the past, they had heard many misdeeds about the commander of the First Corps and his cronies.
It's just that the weak eat the strong, and strength is king. In a place like Licheng, right and wrong are often decided with fists.
The commander of the Corps is doing evil without touching the bottom line, and he is also actively fighting against the demon spirits. He has killed at least thirty demon kings so far, so he can still sit in a high position.
…
At this moment, a few more rays of light lit up on the horizon.
Accompanied by the roar of the alien beasts, several bronze chariots came from far and near, also burning with flames.
The chariot hovered in the sky above the C-shaped city gate, faintly revealing a heart-stopping aura.
"Those are all group leader-level bosses!"
"They came here and wanted to see Caron take action to suppress the strange and powerful man!"
someone exclaimed.
Among several tanks.
There is an old woman with a stooped and skinny figure.
There is a woman with a veil on her head and skin as good as snow.
A red-haired old man with two horns and strange eyes.
There is also a middle-aged man with an upright face and straight features.
They are the leaders of several survey corps in the city. They have free time at the moment, so they come here to join in the fun. Without stepping out of the chariot, they only need to move their minds slightly to understand the entire battlefield with their mental power. details.
"It's really impressive to be able to withstand the Red Dragon Fire Formation for so long. At least it's a character not weaker than Caron."
"This fat man is also a chicken thief. On the surface, he is majestic, but in fact, he uses the city gate to suppress others. He uses the power of the city gate to show off his majesty. It's really funny."
The woman wearing a purple veil chuckled with amusement in her eyes.
…
at the same time.
A chariot hovering in mid-air.
Caron felt the auras that descended on the field one after another, and his old red face gradually wrinkled.
He looked at the black-armored woman in the field, his narrowed eyes filled with murderous intent.
He has clearly locked it with his own energy, but the other party is still able to say some heartbreaking words.
And the ants that killed his son and brother were obviously suppressed by the red dragon formation, but they still didn't die.
"Forget it, let the leader do it himself."
"Since the last demon tide ended, we haven't done anything for almost half a year. It's time to get active now."
As he spoke, he stood up from his seat, stood firmly at the door of the car rolling, blessed with true energy, and roared:
"Thieves who rebel against the city dare to talk nonsense."
"If you add guilt to crime, I will execute you personally!"
His rough voice resounded outside the city gate, and then with a gentle force of his feet, he turned into a streak of light and rushed out of the chariot.
Karon pulled out the long iron sword from his waist, activated his true energy, and when he fell from high altitude to the ground, he aimed at the Red Dragon Fire Formation, intending to split the figure in it into two.
boom--
His armor lit up with red light, and the friction between his body and the air produced strong flames, like a fire dragon descending from the sky.
The terrifying momentum made everyone present feel horrified.
Black Feather, who was already half-kneeling on the ground and unconscious, looked at the target of Karon's attack, gritted his silver teeth, and immediately struggled to get up.
Silver moon disks appeared in her hands at the same time, and she rushed towards Zhang Taichu, who was in the fire dragon and whose life and death were unknown, to block his sword.
But in the next moment.
Then a turbulent Qi Qi exploded violently, with a sense of oppression stronger than Caron's, causing her to lose control of her body and involuntarily stiffen in place.
call--
The flame tornado suddenly accelerated, and the dragon's head changed direction and soared into the sky, just in time to meet Caron who was slashing his sword downwards, and collided with it fiercely in the latter's shrinking pupils.
Boom——
Large waves of energy exploded, and flames and foam continued to collapse.
Caron's figure flew upwards, using Gang Qi to protect his body. Although he was not in a state of embarrassment, his expression had changed drastically.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did the fire dragon formation that I personally activated hit me?"
Doubts came to his mind.
Immediately afterwards, large red lines lit up on the city gate, and suddenly began to flash crazily.
Thousands of soldiers suspended in the air with the help of the city gate smashed to the ground like dumplings.
"The power of the runes has failed, and I can't feel the power of the city gate formation!"
"Damn, what happened..."
Everyone was shocked, and their expressions changed completely the next moment.
They suddenly felt that the power of the formation that originally enveloped them returned again.
But it's not gain, it's suppression!
"Oh my god, what happened?"
"Oh my God!"
"ah!"
In a burst of frightened screams, thousands of soldiers were suppressed from the sky to the ground by the reverse buff exerted by the formation.
Bang bang bang——
They knelt on the ground one by one, unable to move any more. p
