So when Li Yuanzhong and Wang Hongren arrived near Tianhe County, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Brother Wang, look over there. Those people don't look like good people." Li Yuanzhong hid behind a tree and secretly looked at the edge of the city in the distance.
Outside Tianhe County, there are several newly built houses built of bricks and stones.
There are also some houses and wooden houses made of clay, which are basically lived by the people of Yangzhou Man and Wuxi Gate.
Among them, the most powerful naturally live in brick and stone houses, while others live in mud houses and wooden houses.
Therefore, you can tell the strength of these two groups just by looking at the houses they live in.
Thousands of houses are connected in the open space outside Tianhe County, which looks huge.
It's just divided into four sides, probably in the direction of the four gates, with hundreds of houses, forming a circle that tightly surrounds Tianhe County.
The most difficult thing is firewood.
Because there were people outside, the magicians in the city could no longer sneak out of the city to cut firewood for the people in the city.
If it hadn't been for the accumulation of a lot of firewood before, there would already be insufficient firewood in the city.
However, it is not certain how long these firewood can be burned.
Therefore, the people in the city were very panicked, and it would be good if they could survive.
However, the people themselves did not know how long it would last, so many other things happened secretly, such as killing their companions and then robbing property and firewood.
This has led to a problem. With the foreign invasion difficult to resist, and various internal riots, there is not enough manpower, so the pressure in Tianhe County has become increasing.
As for the two elders who have not yet returned, are they dead or alive...
It can only be said that the valuable materials on them have been mastered by "Shen Yicheng" and Zhao Jin.
At this time in the city, Elder Liu and the others gathered together to discuss matters.
Brothers Li Yucai and Li Liangcai suddenly burst into the building and shouted:
"Elders! The slow people in Yangzhou are clamoring outside the city again!"
Elder Liu held his forehead:
"Ignore them. As long as they don't attack, don't worry. Ask the four garrison camps to be on guard and be careful of anyone sneaking in."
"Yes." Li Yucai nodded.
Li Liangcai said with some hesitation: "Besides the people from Yangzhou Manchu, there are also people from the Gate of Nothingness outside the door."
Elder Liu Feng and the others nodded and said nothing. After all, Elder Liu knew from the beginning that Li Liangcai was once a member of the Gate of Nothingness.
But since Li Yucai, Pei Mengqing and others were guarantors, and they really hadn't done too many bad things, they weren't overly suspicious.
At that time, Tianhe County did not have enough manpower, so we stayed for the time being.
After this period of getting along and working together, they have almost trusted Li Liangcai.
I believe he has no intention of betraying Tianhe County again.
After the two brothers Li Liangcai and Li Yucai left, several elders gathered together and could not think of any way to break the situation.
In addition to such big things in the court, the new emperor was replaced. As a member of the royal family, Principal Sima Zhengnan naturally had to stabilize his position in Luoyang and form cliques. At least, after returning to Tianhe County, he could not be criticized in the court. No one can help even if you say bad things.
So there is no way to expect the principal to come back to rescue.
Moreover, there are not enough manpower in the county, and it is difficult to maintain an "undefeated" balance.
It was impossible to send a warlock strong enough to break through the siege to deliver a message to the principal, telling him that his home was about to be stolen.
Well, it’s useless to send out the real army, because it takes several days to travel from Luoyang to Tianhe County. Before returning, Yangzhou Man and the people from the Gate of Nothingness will join forces to attack Tianhe County, and the principal can’t wait. Send reinforcements.
Outside the city, Li Yuanzhong and Wang Hongren were squatting in the forest, constantly looking at the low-rise city outside the city. People were walking around, and there were warlocks everywhere.
"Are you surrounded? Where did so many warlocks come from? Could it be that in addition to the previous zombie crisis and the ten evil beasts, there are other hostile forces coveting Tianhe County?" Li Yuanzhong held the knife behind his back and looked over there.
Wang Hongren nodded:
"The warlocks over there are basically soul level and mysterious level. It seems that there will be stronger enemies, and maybe there will be enlightenment level warlocks. Can we force our way through, even if we don't have so many souls?" A super warlock can kill both of us."
"Waiting for Shaoxia Pei to come back? Although Zhiping and we can't do it, Shaoxia Pei and the two people from the orange cat clan plus the two of us, maybe there will be a chance." Li Yuanzhong asked.
"That's all we can do, at least wait here for Pei Shaoxia and the others, lest they run into that group of people when they come back." Wang Hongren said.
"Well, it's just that no matter how stupid Pei Shaoxia and the others are, they can't rush into so many people, right? Those are not ordinary people, they are all warlocks." Li Yuanzhong said.
However, these two people had to say something anyway, at least to make the situation where they and others couldn't rush over not so ugly.
These two wanted to rush into the city to help relieve the siege, but they couldn't.
But the two of them really got a chance.
Because the group of warlocks outside the city began to organize and mobilize again, preparing to attack Tianhe County.
It must be said that Tianhe County has been able to survive until now, and the people inside are still fine, all because of this formation.
Yes, cities like Tianhe County have formations.
A formation called the Eight Directions and Nine Palaces Guard Formation.
This formation has no other function except that it can support an all-round energy shield. As long as there are experts in the city who continuously input energy, the formation can be maintained.
This is also the reason why Tianhe County was able to withstand the joint attack of Yangzhou Man and the Gate of Nothingness even though they were at a numerical disadvantage.
It's just that the ten Qixi-level ferocious beasts that splintered from the Evil God's flesh and blood arrived too quickly, and they didn't have time to activate the formation...
The people from Gate of Nothingness and Yangzhou Slow have not yet found a way to break the formation. They are still attacking continuously and trying to find a way to break the game.
These include, but are not limited to, tunnel warfare and all-round simultaneous strikes.
However, this formation was set up by the principal Sima Zhengnan when the school was founded, so as long as there are no insiders in the city, the elders can continuously input energy and block attacks.
This time is a regular offensive test by Yangzhou Man and others. Anyway, they are not in a hurry. What is really urgent is Tianhe County, which is running out of food and firewood.
There were hundreds of thousands of people inside there...
With such a large population, if you want to maintain your daily life, the daily number of accounts is very large.
Even if there are many cows in the city, and these cows still have grass to eat and the cow dung they pull out can be dried and used as fuel, it is not enough to supply so many people.
"It seems they are going to attack by force?" Li Yuanzhong said, "Do you want to help?"
Wang Hongren:
"It seems that they have been surrounding us for a long time. The previous attacks failed to work. Either there are enough experts in the city to block the attack, or there are formations and other measures to resist the attack.
"If it's the former, we can go to help while the two sides are fighting, and then enter Tianhe County. If it's the latter, then we can only wait outside temporarily and see when we have the opportunity."
However, both of them felt that the former was less likely because there were too many people outside the city...
Outside the city, several early-stage Qi-level warlocks slowly rose into the air, and many late-stage Xuanqi-level warlocks followed suit. Dozens of people gathered outside Tianhe County.
Tianhe County also raised a defensive shield to continuously block the tentative attacks of the warlocks outside the city.
The attacks of these evil sorcerers were mostly black and purple, and they exploded on the colorless formation defense cover, just like several black and purple fireworks rising above Tianhe County, very gorgeous.
It's just that these fireworks are not pretty, but have a dangerous meaning.
Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong, who were hiding in the forest, watched the attack in the distance and decided to hide here silently.
Looking inside, in addition to late-stage Xuanqi-level warlocks, there are also many Qi-level warlocks.
With just the two of them, it would be safer to carry them here.
However, in addition to the two of them, there are many other upright and chivalrous people in Tianyi Sect who are constantly moving towards Tianhe County.
Not long after the two arrived, several more knights appeared in the forest behind them.
Many of them knew each other, and many of them saw the two heroes Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong.
These two heroes, one who rules Hebei with swords and the other with guns, are also well-known figures in the world.
So the knights greeted each other in the forest and exchanged the recently collected information with each other.
Only then did Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong realize that there were two organizations surrounding Tianhe County. One was the old evil organization Gate of Nothingness, and the other was a new organization called Yangzhou Man.
There are probably more than a dozen enlightened-level warlocks in these two organizations. Although they are all heroes, none of them are enlightened-level warlocks. Although they have more than thirty people in total, they are still not enough for the two opposite. An organization fought.
So things have changed. Now they can't enter the city, and they want to support Tianhe County. Now they are frozen, and they are embarrassed to go back.
These thirty or so people can only stay here. Everyone moves secretly. First, they cannot be discovered by the people from the Gate of Nothingness and Yangzhou Manchu around them, and then... there is nothing to do.
You can't expect Chengpo and the others to help, lest your trip be in vain, right?
This resulted in an embarrassing situation where the city was unaware of the reinforcements and the mysterious magicians outside the city were unable to enter.
But things took a "turn" in the evening.
Three Qixi-level knights rushed to the scene, hoping to attack the Gate of Nothingness and Yangzhou Man's camp, and then enter the city together.
Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong tried to stop it, but failed.
Because those three heroes in the early stage of Qixing were all prominent figures in the world.
How can the reinforcements be blocked outside the city and dare not even show their heads?
At least these three heroes couldn't stand it and insisted on giving it a try.
As a result, something happened when I tried this.
Because the leader of the Gate of Nothingness is a mid-Qiu-level great warlock, these three heroes combined are not enough to fight with one hand.
Fortunately, those three people were still brave before they died. They felt that it was the impulsiveness of the three of them that put other Xuanqi-level warlocks in danger.
Therefore, the three heroes at the early stage of Qi Star tried their best to stop the pursuers and gave Wang Hongren and others a chance to escape.
After this battle, they simply retreated to the vicinity of Liang County, not even daring to get close to Tianhe County.
Gate of Nothingness and Yangzhou Man also sent many warlocks to search for these remaining defeated generals.
However, at least these scattered warlocks have relieved a lot of pressure on the defense shield of Tianhe County.
…………
Juju and Xiaori slowly stood up, their aura building up layer by layer. Finally, after breaking through the early stage of the Venus Star, they rushed all the way to the middle stage of the Venus Star.
"Damn it, is it really happening? Mid-stage Qixi star?"
Pei Mengqing was lying on the stone bed and fell asleep. After all, she was in a low place, in a cave with more than 30 twists and turns, and she didn't know whether it was dark or day outside.
Juju and Xiaori shook their heads excitedly.
Juju stretched out his paw, and lightly poked the wall with the cat's paw. The hard rock was like a tofu block, breaking into pieces with just one poke.
"It's really done. It's worthy of the Kunlun Immortal Copper. If there were more, we might be able to reach the destiny level!" Juju was very happy.
After all, no matter how many cats have completed many tasks, they have never been able to reach the star level. And the two of them were not at the mysterious level at the beginning, but after knowing Pei Mengqing for a few months, they had an unexpected encounter along the way.
Although he encountered many dangerous situations, he still managed to get through it smoothly and reached the mid-level Qixing level!
Even among the cat clan favored by the will of the world, there has never been any cat that can enter the country as quickly as the two of them.
If he returned to the ancestral land of cats, he would definitely be envied by other cats.
"Lao Pei, you are such a lucky star. When I meet you when I am proud, we will have many adventures!" Xiaori also seemed very excited, not as calm as before.
"Hehe, I'm grateful to you two. If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't have practiced so smoothly. In the final analysis, the three of us got along, so we kept encountering many things." Pei Mengqing said humbly.
It is true that with the help of the two big oranges, he was able to escape from many difficulties. Among other things, the purifying golden light helped him too many times, and the two big oranges helped gather spiritual energy.
Without the two big oranges and relying solely on the Qi Gathering Pill, he would not be able to practice so fast, and it would have been even less possible for him to jump directly from the early stage of the Soul Cultivation Realm to the later stage.
"Stop saying anything, Lao Pei. Wherever you go from now on, we will definitely follow you. I think that the three of us together will definitely be able to take off in the future. In the end, we may even have a chance to meet the evil god. !" Ju Ju was very swollen, and now his confidence was so high that even the Evil God dared to say it.
Pei Mengqing nodded:
"Now that you two have finished digesting it, let's go back to Tianhe County quickly, lest things change later."
"Okay, now we will carry you on our backs, so you can see our mid-Qing star speed!" Ju Ju shouted.
Pei Mengqing readily agreed and really wanted to see it.
So Pei Mengqing and the two big oranges left the cave according to their original route, simply covering the entrance of the cave with vines, leaves, and branches, and left here.
Along the way, we embarked on the road back to Tianhe County.
