"Yo, it's started."
Outside the shadows, Tang Zhao squatted at the door of Dark Star Manor, like a new father squatting in the delivery room, waiting for news.
But instead of waiting for news of birth, we were waiting for news of death.
This time, Man Ying was in charge of the crusade against Dark Star Manor. Among these Abyssal Envoys, Man Ying was the only one with the ability to command operations.
Tang Zhao actually has this ability, but he cannot dominate the scene. This is someone else's job, hoping to clear up Yuanshi's name. Even though he also hopes to contribute to the heavy damage to Dark Star Manor, this first wave is not his turn to charge into the battle.
Therefore, his duty was to serve as a reserve team after the four Abyssal Envoys rushed in, to watch the wind, pay attention to the movements of You Calamity, and by the way...protect Manying.
Yes, compared to the Zhongyuan Envoys who are charging into the battle, Manying is still outside. It is responsible for controlling the field with the sound of Pipa. And the inner shadow that is inseparable from it is not here now, and has other very important things to do.
On the one hand, Pipa needs to control the field, and on the other hand, it is difficult to move on its own, but it also bears the responsibility of command. Therefore, if it stays, it cannot fight in person, and someone needs to protect it. This task is left to Tang Zhao.
After all, Tang Zhao was not an envoy of the Yuan and had no ability to penetrate shadows, so he was not suitable for violent and sneak attacks.
Responsible for protecting Man Ying, he is still alone with Man Ying in the outside world. In fact, Man Ying already trusts him.
As for why Man Ying trusts him so much, maybe it's because...
"intuition"?
Anyway, Man Ying explained this to other Yuanshi: "My intuition is that Tang Zhao is trustworthy."
The other envoys either didn't care about Man Ying's safety or were short-sighted, so they believed him.
In fact, Tang Zhao also had an intuitive judgment about Man Ying.
Manying is different.
Although it had met the white fox before and heard about its own identity, it didn't seem to be affected much. Although it had a natural affection for the white fox, its cognition and personality were dominated by Yuanshi, so it did not appear. Large deviation.
But after bursting into tears during that meeting with Tang Zhao, it changed.
Although there was no change in its speech performance, Tang Zhao was keenly aware that it was actually deliberately imitating its previous temperament and pretending that it had not changed, but its core had shifted.
Although Tang Zhao roughly guessed that the reason for Man Ying's change was related to Bai Hu's progress in Yinglang, he didn't know to what extent Man Ying had changed. Therefore, he did not reveal his relationship with Bai Hu at all, nor did he take the initiative to test it.
So far, there is no clue that Man Ying is related to the white fox. Even if Man Ying is very resourceful, he can't guess it out of thin air... right?
As for whether it is necessary to disclose it properly in the future, we have to observe Man Ying's condition before deciding.
Until now, Tang Zhao was just squatting at the door, listening to Man Ying explain the battle situation inside, and always paying attention to the flooding of Youshui. Dark Star Manor is relatively far away from Youshui and the terrain is high, so it won't have much impact for the time being.
To be cautious, he did not throw the sword elephant to collect information in the Dark Star Manor to avoid exposing his existence. Man Ying could directly sense the situation in the manor through the shadow of the dunes and would alert Tang Zhao of changes in the situation.
"I killed two right away, both swordsmen. There was also one seriously injured." Man Ying reported the count calmly.
Tang Zhao nodded.
To be honest, if the dignified Yuan envoy went to sneak attack, it could not be regarded as a martial ethics. Even if the identity of the Yuan Envoys is put aside, they are all swordsman-level existences. They just want to sneak attack on the Shangzhu Kingdom and a certain king in charge. What's the point of dedicating two Yuan Envoys to sneak attack on the swordsman below?
This means that there is no need to talk about moral principles when dealing with evil heretics, and we can all go hand in hand.
If Tang Zhao hadn't emphasized the depth of water in Dark Star Manor in advance, they wouldn't have been so cautious. According to Yuanshi's tone, he should have come to the door with great fanfare, asked Dark Star Manor to go out to greet him, openly questioned the crime, and used his power to suppress others.
Then the two sides disagreed, and the ping-pong-pong fight started. According to the general script, Yuanshi's side should have won a great victory, and the head of the manor owner was torn off and played as a ball. Finally, Yuanshi pointed at their corpses and declared that they were rebels. Then spread the word to all the manor owners and let them see what will happen if they dare to offend the Yuanshi.
Of course, there may also be an abnormal scenario, where a group of Abyssalians push forward in a big way, and are pushed back at a faster speed like a bulldozer, swept out in a dustpan, and thrown into the trash can.
If it weren't for Tang Zhao's reminder, the Yuan envoys would never have imagined that there might be a second script. But Tang Zhao reminded them, and Man Ying, who was in charge, believed it, so they prepared according to the plan for the second situation.
That is to say, when a lion fights a rabbit, not only must he use all his strength, but he must also be humble and don't care about face. Use the Yuanshi's characteristics to blend into the shadows, then go up and look at his face for a sneak attack.
The effect can only be said to be okay.
The man in charge and the swordsman above were attacked by surprise, but they survived as expected. However, the two swordsmen were only taken away by the two abyssal envoys in a surprise attack. This result was not good.
It shows that these swordsmen are very capable and are always prepared to deal with sneak attacks. If it weren't for Yuanshi and other swordsmen had made a sneak attack, they might not even be able to get these two heads.
Turtle bandits hide their heads and tails all day long for fear of being caught. Isn't it normal to have means to prepare for sneak attacks?
"Their reinforcements are coming up."
The strings are plucked, and the pipa is playing a tune that disturbs the coordination of body and soul. Under music, people's bodies and souls will obviously feel uncomfortable. It's as if the soul is feeling uncomfortable in the body and wants to escape.
Moreover, most people are aware of the restlessness of the soul, but they are not aware of what is wrong. They think that their spirit is disturbed, causing them to feel restless. They do not guess that the problem is the adaptation between the body and the soul. .
This is obviously a suitable piece of music for this battle, because Manying's side are all Yuanshi. Regardless of whether they have souls or not, they definitely don't have bodies anyway, so there will be no problem of body-soul coordination. This is unilateral suppression.
While playing the war song with all its strength, it also did not forget to explain the battle situation to Tang Zhao with its thoughts.
"Their reinforcements came so quickly. Many people came out of the military camps. Even those military camps were not empty. There were actually thousands of people. And they came out all at once, in their own order, without any chaos, and surrounded the big houses inside. This kind of quality can be regarded as an elite soldier outside, right?"
Tang Zhao replied: "Yes, maybe they are elite soldiers."
The turtle bandits were not grass bandits, they had family backgrounds, and some were regular soldiers dedicated to rebellion.
Man Ying said: "What's the use even if they are elite soldiers? These people are not swordsmen, they are just better than ordinary people. Maybe they are all ordinary people who have practiced Gang Qi and can threaten swordsmen together, but what use are they to swordsmen?" Besides, I don’t think there are that many scattered people among these people?”
Tang Zhao didn't need to answer this question, Man Ying saw the answer herself.
They are not Sanren, they are spiritual officials!
The ones at the forefront were the beast spirit officers. They drove all kinds of ferocious beasts out of the camp, roaring forward like chariots.
Interspersed among the ferocious beasts are the most flexible and powerful fighting spirit officers, who can attack with sharp knives. Later, there are also the auxiliary psychic organs, spiritual organs, and organ spiritual organs...
These spiritual officers surrounded them step by step according to their formations. Although they had not yet come into close contact, their momentum was astonishing and put a lot of pressure on the Yuanshi who were fighting inside.
It is difficult for them to intervene in the battles between swordsmen, but they can help the swordsmen. Several swordsmen inside seemed to have received support, and their swordsmanship increased sharply. Obviously, in addition to the momentum of support, he should also have received some real assistance.
In this way, the four Abyssal Envoys were all in a stalemate. Before support came, it would be difficult to achieve more results by just killing one more swordsman.
The situation was like this. Man Ying observed it in detail and told Tang Zhao in detail, and then asked: "The first wave didn't work. What do you think we should do?"
Tang Zhaoqi asked: "Don't you have any ideas?"
Although the previous ambush failed and Man Ying was momentarily at a loss, that was when his strength was at an absolute disadvantage. It was only temporarily leveled now, and it was far from being in danger. Manying definitely still had time to think, and with its mind, it was not at a loss.
Man Ying said: "As you said, the water in Dark Star Manor is very deep. There is still more power in the formation that has not been released. The longer it is delayed, the greater the pressure on the Abyssal Envoy will be. At that time, we will have no choice but to escape in embarrassment. .”
Tang Zhao said: "Didn't you also arrange a backup plan? Xinying and the others..."
The reason why Xinying is not here is because he and another kelp-like Abyssal Huiying went to a more important place - that is, the altar.
Although Man Ying was persuaded by Tang Zhao before, she still hesitated to activate the altar and use the most powerful power of the two mountains to wipe out a mere manor. Is it killing a chicken with a knife?
But on their way here, they discovered Yousheng.
There is no controversy now.
To quell the Ghost Calamity, we must use the power of the altar, so there is nothing wrong with using this power to wipe out the Dark Star Manor, so this is already a prepared trump card.
In the past, activating the altar was also a very important power in the Yuanshi. It was not up to juniors like Xin Ying and Man Ying to intervene, but now the combination of these two Yuanshi, one with wisdom and one with the power of cultural relics, is almost the "carrying power" in the Yuanshi. "The master", he naturally took over this power. Moreover, among the two Abyssal Envoys, Manying is the one who calls the shots. It can decide to activate the sacrificial array and make the final decision.
Man Ying said: "Although such a hasty decision can destroy this manor, what good will it do to Yuanshi's reputation? Isn't it because Yuanshi can only rely on the power of Wang Liang, but in fact nothing can be done? We are not here in vain. A trip?"
It said here, paused, and then said: "And... once the power over there comes, all the Abyssal Envoys will withdraw. All the Abyssal Envoys will retreat without any loss at all. Is this good?"
Tang Zhao secretly raised his eyebrows. As a Yuan envoy, it was completely incomprehensible for him to say this. He thought to himself: Are you saying this to me?
Test me?
This Man Ying... what is his position now, what is his identity, and what does he know?
Tang Zhao turned around and said: "Since we still have to fight, then... if you shoot the man, shoot the horse first, and if you capture the thief, capture the king first."
Man Ying said: "Heroes see the same thing."
Immediately afterwards, Man Ying passed on this instruction.
In a moment, two of the four Abyssal Envoys suddenly turned around and rushed towards the young prince in charge!
The sudden attack of the three Abyssal Envoys surprised the prince, and he immediately stepped back. With a scoff, a shadow rolled up from behind and stabbed his vest, impaling him across the face!
Blood is flying!
The princess's screams rang out in the room. Man Ying saw this scene and said happily: "Success?"
Tang Zhao said: "No...if it's a spiritual officer, it's not over yet!"
