Prince Lanling has been in a very bad mood recently. He has a gloomy face all day long, so that no one in the family dares to talk to him.
Many elder-level experts were cautious in front of him, fearing that something bad would happen.
Recalling that ever since he took charge of the Xiao family and inherited the throne with a different surname, all his games with the two generations of emperors had been smooth sailing.
Not to mention winning every time, nine times out of ten he would have the upper hand.
Because the Xiao family has been in business for too many years, it has already laid a solid foundation. Almost all the people in the court are his people, and they have all the power.
Although he was only a prince, in fact before the appearance of Yue, he had the final say in most of the affairs of the dynasty.
Without his approval, any of the emperor's will would be difficult to implement.
Although he is not the emperor of Lanling Dynasty, he is already better than the emperor.
However, after all, he was not sitting on that high throne.
In the eyes of the world, he is just a prince after all, and the Xiao family is not a royal family.
Still, at least he can call the wind and do whatever he wants.
However, since that person came, everything has changed.
In just a few months, the powers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were seized from him one after another.
Now he was forced to pay a huge price to compromise with Emperor Langya.
Use your own money and supplies to the enemy to attack your dynasty.
Thinking about it made him laughable and ironic, but he had no choice.
The person named Yue was beyond his expectation.
I originally wanted to take advantage of them to go to the border and find a way to raid Junyue Pavilion.
As a result, when their people were testing, senior generals from the Black Iron Legion and the Aegis Legion came forward.
Now, the entire Junyue Pavilion is surrounded by a large number of soldiers from the two most elite legions guarding it.
The two legions of Black Iron and Aegis made him fearful.
These two legions have a total of 20 million people. They complement each other in attack and defense, and their combat power is astonishing.
There are more than ten senior generals in the army who are half-step into the realm of gods.
And there were actually dozens of rune war machines in these two legions!
Now, the entire dynasty is surrounded by his army.
Although his army did not reach the city, it cut off all roads and formed an encirclement.
He mobilized nearly 100 million troops from various counties.
The purpose was to prevent the emperor from returning to the imperial capital.
"Yue, just wait. After I capture you, I will skin you and remove your bones to vent my hatred!"
King Lanling gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
I have never suffered such a loss in my life.
However, he frequently suffered big losses in front of that young man. Every time he thought about it, it made him breathless and felt like he was suffocating.
"This ant can really jump around, and it does have some tricks up its sleeve.
If it weren't for the gods who couldn't take action easily, crushing him to death would be no different from crushing an ant to death. "
Deep in the palace, in the Senate, a man who looked very young said.
But all the elders here, including King Lanling, respected him.
This person looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a childish look on his face, but his eyes were very deep, with a cold light flashing from time to time.
The vicissitudes of time can be seen from the depths of his eyes.
Obviously, he is not just a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"What our ancestors said is that if you can take action, you can kill that person named Yue with just a snap of your fingers.
He is just relying on the constraints between the gods and powerful men to become arrogant! "
King Lanling's face was ashen.
The young man said calmly: "Emperor Langya has already mobilized his troops. According to the progress of preparations, it will take half a year.
However, only half a year passed in a snap.
The Wang family agreed to send out six half-step gods, plus the strong half-step gods in Langya's army, there were more than a dozen in total.
At that time, our Xiao family will go to ten more half-step gods and bring weapons of the third level of gods.
Even if the young man named Yue had three heads and six arms, he would definitely die. "
"Ancestor, we have so many half-step gods, and there are dozens of them on both sides. We should be able to easily kill Yue. Do we still need to carry weapons of the third level of gods?"
The elders of the Xiao family all looked shocked.
The third level of the gods, that is the weapon used by the powerful gods.
In the hands of a half-step god, if you use it with all your strength, even if you cannot exert the power of a god, it will still be infinitely close to the power of a god.
With this kind of weapon, dealing with someone named Yue is like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
"It's always safer to bring something with you in case of emergencies. Be lenient in anticipation of the enemy so you don't fall twice in one place."
"That's what our ancestors said."
King Lanling also agreed very much, "Although we have paid a huge price this time, the man named Yue will not live long, and the emperor will also die on the border battlefield.
At that time, the ministers petitioned, my Xiao family came to the throne, and the imperial power was in control, the entire Lanling Dynasty changed its surname to Xiao from now on! "
"Well, although the mobilization of the Langya Army will take half a year, you half-step gods can go to the border earlier and wait, so that you can pay attention to Yushan City and see what the person named Yue is doing."
"Yes, ancestor, we will set off tomorrow."
All the elders responded in unison.
"Well, in this case, I will continue to retreat. If there is nothing important, don't bother me."
The boy left.
After cultivating to his level, he can no longer make breakthroughs due to lack of corresponding resources.
If you want to improve your strength without changing your realm, you can only find a way out by practicing the Dharma and the secret techniques in the Dharma.
If you want to have a deeper understanding of spiritual practices and secret techniques, you need a lot of time to study them.
…
Everything seemed to have calmed down.
For several months, the border between Yushan City and Langya Dynasty was in harmony.
It was as if the massive war a few months ago had been forgotten.
In Yushan City, people's lives are orderly.
The soldiers who suffered heavy injuries on the battlefield have also recovered, and most of them are back to their original state.
Except for those who lost some limbs and were left disabled, the rest all returned to the military camp and started practicing again.
Veterans who retired due to disability did not stay at home and live a peaceful life with their wives and children.
After serving in the army for many years, they have long been accustomed to military life.
Even though he is with his wife and children, they are not used to the changes in their daily life.
Therefore, disabled veterans can often be seen gathering together to drink alcohol near the military camps in Yushan City.
Sometimes after drinking too much, the veterans would wipe their tears against each other's bodies.
They missed their brothers, but they couldn't go back. They could only look at their troops and their comrades fighting side by side from a distance, and they felt very uncomfortable.
…
One day, in the Eighty-Nine Mysterious Hall, Jun Wuxie, who was cultivating in the time barrier, opened his eyes.
It has been less than half a year since he entered Xuan Palace.
This means that he has been practicing in the time barrier for several years.
In the past few years of practice, the realm of Fu Dao has been greatly improved.
From the original holy state of perfection, all the way to breakthrough.
Today, he has reached the perfection of the second realm of God in the realm of Yuanshi Fu Dao, which is equivalent to the absolute heavenly position of the True God.
At this level, the length of practice has increased more than ten times compared to the initial time.
Now, if he wants to break through to a small level, it will take at least more than a year.
Of course, this speed is still faster than the martial arts realm. After all, the energy accumulation required by Yuanshi Fu Dao is far from comparable to his martial arts blood.
But he could no longer break through the Fu Dao realm.
The energy inside the twelve zodiac signs has been exhausted.
The twelve zodiac signs given to him by the quasi-emperor Talisman Master could only support this level of Talisman energy.
"That's almost it. It's like he gave me a small chance."
Jun Wuxie is very satisfied with his current cultivation of Fu Dao.
The talisman energy of the twelve zodiac signs is not conventional energy, and is relatively easier to absorb and refine.
Otherwise, even if he didn't need to understand the Tao of Talisman, he wouldn't be able to break through the realm so quickly.
Counting the time, five months have passed in the outside world.
During this period of time, Jing Yaci did not wake him up. It seemed that the Langya Army had not yet completed its army assembly.
When he removed the time barrier, Jing Yaci stepped forward to greet him.
"What's wrong? There seems to be some resentment in your eyes?"
Jun Wuxie lifted her chin and teased.
"Nonsense, I don't have any grudges."
Jing Ya turned around and slapped away his hand that was holding her chin, but she snuggled her body into his arms.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Jun Wuxie gently stroked her silky green hair, and could feel her mood swings that were different from usual.
"Well, I have doubts in my mind."
She immediately talked about her emotional sensitivity and contradictions and other issues.
"Tell me, if my body goes on like this, will it affect my Taoist mind?"
Jun Wuxie smiled and said: "In fact, although you are prone to many emotions in your heart, in the final analysis, the source of your emotions is only me.
In fact, the root of your emotions is not complicated, so there is no need to struggle with yourself and doubt yourself.
I don't think this hinders spiritual practice.
However, you still have to adjust appropriately.
Otherwise, if I leave your side temporarily or practice in seclusion in the future, won’t you have to endure the torment of lovesickness every day? "
"How to adjust, suppress my feelings for you, or cut you out of my heart, and then go back to the ruthless and desireless way of heaven?"
"You are just making excuses."
Jun Wuxie stared into her eyes and said, "Can you try to cut me out of your heart?"
"Humph, don't think that I can't bear to part with you!"
Jing Yaci pretended to be ashamed and annoyed, and she was still a little angry that he came in and started practicing immediately without saying a few words to her.
"Are you really willing to give it up?"
Jun Wuxie said breathlessly against her crystal ear.
The hot air entered her ears and his magical voice made Jing Yaci's body tremble slightly.
She only felt as if her whole body had softened, and her heart felt soft.
"You're the only one who's bad!"
She hit him and hugged him tightly.
"Come for a walk with me."
Jun Wuxie took her for a walk on the lake.
Since he started helping Nalan Jingyi, he really spent very little time with her, and even less time to see her. Especially after coming to the border, it was often difficult to see her once for many days, and he was always busy.
A few days later, they came out of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Hall.
Nalan Jingyi, Feng Ling, and Feng Wei are still in seclusion in the secret room.
He summoned Qi Zhenshan and learned about the situation in the past few months.
Qi Zhenshan became excited when he asked about the rune armor.
Said that the Rune Armor was so amazing and the effect was unbelievable to them.
Now, the Imperial Military Department has quietly transported several batches of rune armor, totaling nearly 10 million sets.
Most of the soldiers responsible for guarding the fortress have put on new rune armor.
"Master, with these rune armors, we no longer have to worry about casualties.
It can be said that after the soldiers put on the armor, their own protective capabilities are not comparable to even the most elite soldiers in the dynasty.
In more than twenty days, a new batch of rune armors will arrive here.
By then we can equip millions more soldiers! "
"That's good. By then, all the troops deployed in the fortress will be soldiers wearing new armor.
The soldiers without new armor were transferred back to Yushan City to defend.
Yushan City has solid city defenses, and with the help of rune warfare weapons, it is relatively difficult to cause casualties.
In the future, we will wait for more rune armors to arrive before making additional arrangements for deployment.
By the way, what is the situation in Langya Dynasty now? "
Mentioning this matter, the smile on Qi Zhenshan's face gradually faded away, replaced by solemnity.
"Returning to the master, according to reliable information, Emperor Langya is gathering heavy troops.
Our frontier may be about to usher in the largest war in history between dynasties.
Emperor Langya mobilized 60 million troops, including tens of millions of elites.
Including the original border troops on the border, which number more than 80 million, he wants to attack our Yushan City in one fell swoop! "
"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, they can't break Yushan City even if they come with another 80 million."
“But Master, according to the news, the Wang family of the Langya family of the Langya Dynasty sent six half-step gods, and together with the half-step gods in the army, the number reached more than a dozen.
The Wang family has sent six, and the Lanling Palace will probably send out half-step gods no less than the Wang family!
Obviously, they sent out so many half-step gods, they must be aiming at you, the master! "
"I got it." Jun Wuxie patted Qi Zhenshan's shoulder and said, "I already told you, don't worry.
In the past half year, how have the soldiers practiced the Holy Law of Fighting? "
Qi Zhenshan was startled. Is it possible that more than twenty half-step gods would come and the master wouldn't care?
He came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Master, don't worry, because you personally explained and taught the soldiers the way of cultivation last time, the soldiers now have a deeper and deeper understanding of the holy law of fighting, and they are making rapid progress.
Compared with the last war, the strength of the soldiers has improved a lot.
It can be said that all the soldiers on our frontier have reached the level of elite regiments. "
“Well, it’s pretty much what I expected.
What about the wounded soldiers after the first battle? "
"They have all recovered and returned to the military camp. Only those soldiers with mutilated limbs cannot continue to fight on the battlefield. I let them retire and enjoy the same military pay and treatment as when they were in service, which will last for a hundred years."
Speaking of this, Qi Zhenshan felt a little sentimental.
He said that veterans are actually unwilling to retire. Many retired veterans are depressed and often run around the military camp to watch from a distance, drinking and crying.
However, considering that their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly after being disabled, if they continue to serve, they are very likely to be killed on the battlefield, so they are forced to retire.
"You ask people to gather all the retired disabled veterans, and I will regenerate their lost limbs."
"ah?"
Qi Zhenshan was stunned and said in shock: "Master, do you think you can regenerate their severed limbs?"
He wondered if his ears were hallucinating.
This is really unbelievable. How could he have such ability?
Only strong men in the realm of gods have the ability to regenerate severed limbs, and it takes a long time to grow them back.
Even the gods cannot do it to restore another person's life and limbs.
"You heard that right, why don't you go quickly?"
Jun Wuxie glared at him.
Qi Zhenshan came to his senses and left in a hurry, but the shock in his heart could not dissipate for a long time.
