"In Jiulong Town, the migration team has arrived in front of the city gate. The Ministry of Household Records records that there are 76,423 residents in the town, but the actual number is 58,600."
After half a stick of incense, another soldier climbed up the city wall and looked sad when reporting. In this Kowloon town, nearly 18,000 people had been injured.
Another stick of incense.
"In Jiangyan Town, the migration team arrived in front of the city gate. The Ministry of Household Records recorded 97,503 residents in the town, but the actual number was 77,600."
Another loss of nearly 20,000 people. In front of the city, General Hanwei in blue armor clenched his fist, the air exploded, and a vacuum twisted in the palm of his hand.
Not only the ordinary people, but also nearly half of the Dragon Guards who had protected them all the way were destroyed. Even if many people returned, they were seriously injured, and most of them would not be able to recover, leaving them semi-disabled.
"In Louzhuang Town, the migration team has arrived in front of the city gate. The Ministry of Household Affairs records that there are 37,656 residents in the town, but the actual number is 16,400."
What!
The bearded General Hanwei was shocked. More than 20,000 people were killed, and almost half of the residents of a town were killed.
"Damn monsters! How can there be such creatures in the world! They regard human life as nothing and wantonly ****!"
Dragon Lord Duanmu shook his head, glanced at the furious General Hanwei, and said: "Perhaps, this is the reincarnation of heaven, which does not allow the human race to grow. There are no natural enemies, just like the two sides of yin and yang. The yang does not grow without the yin, and the yin does not grow. kind of order.”
"But this race is exterminating human nature. It eats human flesh and drinks human blood. It really has no ethics at all, let alone etiquette. It has only learned a little bit about it over the years." General Hanwei from the fourth rank retorted, Don't agree.
Shaking the feather fan in his hand, Dragon Master Duanmu sneered: "Destroying human nature, what is human nature? It is also determined by my human race. Perhaps in the eyes of the demon clan, eating human flesh and drinking human blood is the demon nature. The human race thrives. Also eat meat, Killing, for the creatures in this world, may be just like the demon clan, no different."
"How could you say such a thing?" General Hanwei, who was stationed in Hailing Prefecture, was stunned. Somewhat unbelievable.
"Buddha teaches that all living beings are equal, so we must treat them equally," the elegant Dragon Lord Duanmu sneered, "What is a demon disaster? For our human race, it is just for survival, so all demon clans will be killed. Why should we pay attention to it?" So much truth.”
Hearing this, the Hanwei general looked thoughtful, but soon sighed again. Soldiers climbed onto the city wall again, and all they heard was bad news.
The bright moon gradually rose, and people from various towns and counties in Hailing Prefecture also arrived one after another. Under the walls of Hailing City, there were wailing sounds everywhere, and the soil was stained with blood. Even among the survivors, many were injured and missing arms and legs. The legs are just ordinary.
Another half stick of incense.
The brightly lit Hailing City, as bright as day, was at our feet.
Su Qinian held the reins and walked ahead. In the land of dragon body and dragon tail, even the seven disciples of the Seven Kills Sword Sect felt a little incredible. Although some people were unfortunately injured along the way for hundreds of miles. No one was exhausted, and they all managed to get here. The small amount of water and food they had brought with them in a hurry was not enough to consume tens of thousands of people, and they were all gone long ago.
No one knows this along the way. Su Qinian stepped on the "Dragon Suppressing Pillar" almost every moment, pulling the vitality of life deep in the earth and the rotation of heaven and earth, floating out, and seeping into the body from the springs under his feet, nourishing qi and blood, and replenishing vitality.
One person can support the consumption of tens of thousands of people, such as Su Qinian, whose face turns pale along the way, and his mental power is constantly consumed. He also draws in the Qi of the origin of heaven and earth, enters deep concentration, and replenishes what he needs.
It can only reach the current level. Even if there are a thousand more people, Su Qinian will not be able to comprehensively deal with them. Even if they are divided into parts, he will not be able to do it. He sticks to his heart and will never forcefully extract the vitality of the earth, and will not exceed the limit of the rotation of heaven and earth. Boundaries must leave life for all living beings.
Despite this, along the way, Su Qinian also gained a deeper understanding in "Suppressing the Dragon Stake". He restored the vitality of tens of thousands of townspeople, and his spiritual power continued to be consumed. When he entered samadhi again, his powerful and profound spiritual power was actually in this short period of time. It has been reduced by nearly 10% in a short period of time, but both in terms of purity and condensation, it has surpassed previous figures.
The most important thing is that with the help of the vitality of the earth along the way, Su Qinian can see a little more clearly in the direction of the tenth level of "Turtle and Snake Technique".
"Lords of Dragon Guard, may I ask which town you are from?"
When Su Qinian and his party arrived, a group of soldiers, led by a deputy lieutenant, came forward to guide them and inquire.
"Tai County, Qintong Town." Seven Seven Killer Sword Sect disciples gathered at Longshou and one of them said.
Qintong Town, Tai County?
The deputy lieutenant who was holding the documents and the roster was startled when he heard this. He lowered his head and looked carefully at the roster in his hand. Then he raised his head and looked at the seven people with something strange in his eyes, because the roster was clearly written. Those who headed to the ancient town of Qintong at Hulong Villa were the seven Dragon Guards from the Seven Kills Sword Sect in front of them.
At present, it seems that although the seven people are stained with blood, their bodies are intact and they have survived.
No one died!
Next, under the leadership of the lieutenant and nearly a hundred soldiers, tens of thousands of Qintong townspeople settled down at a corner of the Hailing City wall. Soon, someone brought wound medicine and drinking water rations and distributed them.
While nearly a hundred soldiers were settling in, they also began to count their numbers and calculate the casualties.
After a stick of incense.
The deputy lieutenant took the paper copied by nearly a hundred soldiers into his hands, took the middle number, and carefully compared it with the roster again, and he could no longer suppress the shock on his face.
Forty-two thousand eight hundred and sixty-two people!
At present, there are 37,582 surviving residents of the ancient town of Qintong. This is not the most important. What is important is that the Ministry of Household Records records that the number of residents of the ancient town of Qintong is 40,000 taels. One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two people.
Excluding the nearly 10% of the townspeople who were traveling in rivers and lakes and traveling in caravans all year round, the number of injured and killed was actually less than 2,000.
Compared with the wailings one after another in other counties and towns, among the more than 37,000 residents of Qintong Ancient Town, there are actually less than 100 people who need medicine for injuries or bandaging and consultation by doctors, and most of them are elderly.
The bright moon hangs high.
On the city wall, General Hanwei in the blue lotus-patterned iron armor was already a little numb. He had already passed 200,000 people. More than 200,000 ordinary people were stained with blood and died on the way to Hailing City, or were killed by monsters. Death may occur because of the long journey, the body and bones are worn down by life, or the recurrence of old illnesses, or death from accidental pushing and trampling.
"Two hundred thousand! There are mountains of corpses!"
The general shouted deeply, he would rather wrap his body in horse leather and fight with the demon clan, even if two hundred thousand soldiers shed blood, it would be better than watching hundreds of thousands of Dawn civilians die without intact corpses.
Another soldier climbed up the city wall and came closer. General Hanwei was silent and the soldiers did not dare to speak at will.
Dragon Master Duanmu glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "Tell me, which town it was in this time, and how many people were killed or injured."
General Hanwei didn't speak when he heard this, but his eyes became darker and darker. Even as a first-class Hunyuan realm master, he only felt helpless at this moment.
After receiving the order, the soldiers suddenly became excited. They looked at the general and raised their voices: "Qintong Town, the migration team arrived in front of the city gate. The Ministry of Household Records recorded that there were 42,862 residents in the town. The actual number was 37,000. Five hundred and eighty-two people.”
So many people died again...
Well, wait!
The bearded General Hanwei was suddenly shaken and shouted: "You bastard, say it again, I will have you quartered in pieces if you lied about military information!"
"The general can't be wrong! If you are wrong, you will kill yourself. There is no need for the general to take action. The household department of Qintong Town records that there are 42,862 residents in the town, but the actual number is 37,582. Excluding nearly 10% who left their hometowns, there were less than 2,000 casualties."
Um?
Even the Duanmu Dragon Lord, who was calm and elegant and wore a feather fan and silk scarf, turned around, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are they the seven boys from Zhao Quan of the Seven Killing Sword Sect?"
"Back to Lord Dragon Master Duanmu, exactly."
"Oh, it seems that these seven people tried their best, risked their lives, and saved tens of thousands of people from fire and water, but they need a heavy reward." Dragon Lord Duanmu nodded, showing admiration, and said, "Loss of money How many people are there? Each person will be given a pension of three thousand taels of snow silver. The descendants of the family within three generations can enter the Hulong Villa to make a living. If their talents are acceptable, they can be introduced to the Seven Kills Sword Sect and continue their relationship."
"Lord Dragon Master Duanmu."
"Is there anything else?" Dragon Master Duanmu raised his eyebrows.
The soldiers immediately tensed up. The Duanmu Dragon Master who guards Hailing Prefecture's Hulong Villa has an extraordinary background. His martial arts skills are so high that even the Seven Kills Sword Sect has had top soul figures speak out and praise him as the best in Hailing.
He held a high position and had profound martial arts skills. There was a great aura of majesty in his every move. The soldier's calves were trembling a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Dragon Master Duanmu, there is no need to pay pensions."
No need to pay pension?
At this moment, the stationed General Han Wei also reacted, his beard twitching, his eyes shining, and he shouted: "You mean, none of Zhao Quan's seven boys were injured and returned safely!"
"Reporting to the general, that's right."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
After saying three good words in a row, General Hanwei, wearing a lotus-patterned armor and shawl, laughed. This is probably the only comforting news so far.
"Let's go! Take me to see these seven bastards Zhao Quan! By the way, prepare wine, I need to practice hard!"
Somewhat impatiently, the next moment, under the stunned gazes of many soldiers on the city wall, General Hanwei jumped out of the city wall and fell to the ground below the city like a meteor.
On the city wall, the feather fan shaking in his hand froze, like the Duanmu Dragon Master guarding Yizhou Dragon Protection Villa. At this time, the corner of his mouth also twitched slightly, and he was speechless.
…
Hailing City is ten miles away.
At this time, facing the moonlight, a group of three riders were walking side by side, all wearing pure white star robes.
"Junior Brother Quan, if the information is correct, this boy should have entered Hailing Prefecture. At present, Hailing Prefecture is undergoing great changes. The red sky sword light envelopes the whole prefecture. Longwen Zhan's decision has shocked the entire Jianghuai Road. At present, the entire Hailing Prefecture is undergoing a drastic change. The prefectures are all empty, and the main city Hailing is gathering together." (Please give me a monthly ticket, genuine subscription is the greatest support for Shibu.) (To be continued.)
