In the castle hall.
Shen Wanjin sat in the middle seat, with Prince Solo and General Gurney standing at the bottom.
Next to them stood scholar Li, Qi Lian, Hong Xiao and other Central Plains masters.
Scholar Li and others were wearing black robes and black ghost masks on their faces. They had ferocious fangs and red eyes, much like vampires.
These people devoured the flesh and blood of the Immortal King Deya in the mountains, and after integrating into their bodies, Shen Wanjin completely controlled them.
Their hearts had long been devoured by Shen Wanjin. These people poured their own blood into the body of the Immortal King, and then devoured the flesh and blood again. After a back and forth, they became Shen Wanjin's slaves.
The same goes for Prince Solo, who gained power and became a slave.
"The Night Owl pays homage to the Holy Envoy."
In front of Shen Wanjin, Ye Xiao was very respectful.
"Any news?"
Shen Wanjin also wore a ghost mask on his face, and his two dark red eyes glowed slightly red.
"Yes, Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng's caravan arrived. They brought news that pirates appeared in Qianjiang County of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Long Chen, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi led troops to put them down."
Ye Xiao replied truthfully, but removed those words that praised Long Chen.
Shen Wanjin smiled coldly: "Destroying the pirates? This is false news. Long Chen has already set off."
When Shen Wanjin was in Zhou Dynasty, pirate riots had already occurred in Qianjiang County.
Therefore, there is indeed something going on in Qianjiang County.
However, Shen Wanjin didn't believe that Long Chen led troops to Qianjiang County to quell the chaos.
A mere pirate, there was no need for Long Chen to take action.
At this time, Long Chen must be on his way to Us Country.
Ye Xiao immediately said: "My subordinates also think so. Qianjiang County's quelling the chaos is just a false shot. Long Chen's real purpose is here."
Shen Wanjin nodded slightly and said: "Well, we have made a lot of progress. We sent people to keep an eye on the caravans coming from Dazhou. The Saar Town is keeping an eye on them."
"Long Chen must be disguised and put on makeup. Don't just look at the appearance, but see through the inside."
Shen Wanjin spoke eloquently, but he didn't expect that Long Chen had already followed Li Dajiao and Hu Shuisheng to the country of Us.
"My subordinate understands!"
"Go ahead, just do this one thing! I'll make sure it's done for you!"
Ye Xiao bowed: "I understand, I will resign!"
After Ye Xiao left, Shen Wanjin calculated in his mind that he deliberately exposed his identity in Dazhou just to lure Long Chen to the Western Region.
Great Zhou is already Long Chen's world. With two powerful men, the Empress and Long Chen, in Great Zhou, it is impossible for him to kill Long Chen.
As long as Long Chen is lured to the Western Region, which is Shen Wanjin's sphere of influence, it will not be difficult to kill Long Chen with the power of the whole country.
The person Shen Wanjin hates the most is Long Chen. In order to deal with Tianxiahui, Long Chenxu cooperated with the snake and Wanjinlou, but in the end he crossed the river and burned the bridge and defrauded Yan Shuangyu and a bunch of beauties. Gan Xin and Mo Lin betrayed Wanjin. The building was destroyed, and his whole life's hard work was in vain.
In order to avoid being hunted, he crossed the desert and arrived in the Western Region.
Only Shen Wanjin himself understands the hardships involved.
Finally, Long Chen left Da Zhou and was coming to the Western Regions.
This is Shen Wanjin's home court. He can control the overall situation and set up a dragnet to kill Long Chen.
"Longyou Shoal was tricked by shrimps..."
Shen Wanjin murmured proudly, but it felt wrong.
Long Chen is a dragon, doesn't he become a shrimp?
Let me say another thing: when a tiger falls and is bullied by a dog, he becomes a dog again.
Forget it, Long Chen will die anyway.
Before Long Chen arrives in the Western Region, he must completely control the Uz Kingdom.
"Tonight we attack Batana, be prepared!"
"Zoro, you and Gurney will lead the troops and enter the city early tomorrow morning!"
Prince Solo and General Gurney came forward and said, "Yes!"
Scholar Li Yi and others stood aside, they had already been ordered to wait for nightfall.
...
The city of Patana.
This is an important town in the northwest of Us. It was not lively in the past, and there were very few soldiers guarding it, because it was not important and there were no enemies around.
During this time, Batana suddenly became extremely lively, because it became the front line of the battle between the Royal Court and the Solo rebels.
Heavy troops were assembled in the city of Patana, and horse dung could be seen everywhere on the ground.
An old man wearing a white robe, a turban, and a strange badge hanging around his neck walked into an old castle.
Behind him were several young disciples, also wearing white robes, turbans and badges.
Several people entered the castle, and when the guards inside saw them, they all saluted solemnly.
In the inner hall, a tall-looking young man with a brown beard sat at the top, and below stood a group of generals, each wearing light armor.
"I have met His Highness the Prince."
The old man saluted the young man on the stage.
The young man sitting at the top is Sokuru, the eldest prince of the Us Kingdom, and the heir designated by King Geers.
"Thank you for your hard work, priest. Please sit down."
Prince Sokulu pointed to the chair next to him very politely. The priest sat down next to him and the disciple stood behind him.
This old man is Kyrud, the left priest of the Vulcan Cult of Uz.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about the battle situation."
Prince Sokulu said with a headache.
Everyone in the audience became serious.
"General Herma, tell me."
Prince Sokulu pointed at a tall general and said.
Everyone looked over and saw General Herma wearing white armor with a helmet under his arm. There was an eagle carved on his helmet, which was very distinctive.
He is a fierce general of the Us Kingdom and a very wise strategic general. He is called the Eagle of the Us Kingdom.
"Your Highness, the traitor Solo summoned the Paya exiles in Limbe City. According to my information, they have gathered 50,000 people."
General Herma reported very seriously.
The people below began to curse:
"Zolo is really disgusting. He actually summoned the thieves from Paya."
"Haha, the Paya Kingdom has been destroyed by us, what's the use of him gathering a group of remnant soldiers to defeat the generals."
"Just in time, I want to kill some more Payas."
There are three powerful countries in the Western Region, Us State, Crescent State and Paya State.
The Crescent Moon Kingdom was destroyed a few years ago, and the Paya Kingdom was destroyed not long ago. There are many Paya people who want to restore the country.
Prince Solo secretly recruited these exiles and brought them under his command, promising that when he became King of Us, he would restore the country of Paya.
Prince Sokulu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and General Herma continued: "However, there is nothing to fear from the Payas. We can defeat them."
The general next to him strongly agreed with Herma's view that the Paya people were all cowards and donkeys, remnants of a subjugated country and should not be feared.
"The biggest problem is that Zoro has summoned the servants of the immortal king Deya. They are devouring our warriors in the night. We must find a way to deal with this group of vampires."
As he said that, Herma looked at the left priest Kyrud.
Prince Sokulu also looked at the left priest Kyrud.
The Immortal King Deya and the Vampire Clan are all legendary things and belong to the category of mythology and religion.
At this time, to deal with the Immortal King and the Vampire Clan, religion must take action.
Vulcanism is the state religion of the Uth State, and King Geers firmly believes in it.
As the left priest, Kyrud can be blessed by the God of Fire, possesses the will of fire, can destroy the vampires, and turn the immortal king Deya into ashes.
"I have heard that the Immortal King Deya has awakened in the mountains. He summoned the evil power from the east, which is the servant of the Immortal King."
"Our people are being eroded by evil, the vampires are raging under the night, and the country of Uth is crying."
"The God of Fire has discovered that he has lit the holy fireworks and revealed to us that we will obey the will of the fire and burn the sins of the vampires. The immortal king Deya will eventually die."
The left priest Gurud said a lot, and everyone present listened devoutly.
At the end, Prince Sokulu asked: "Priest Zuo, does the God of Fire tell us how to eliminate the vampires?"
The left priest Gurud said loudly: "Fire, use fire, that is the incarnation of the God of Fire, use fire to destroy the vampires!"
Everyone nodded suddenly, feeling that Priest Zuo's words were right.
Prince Sokulu nodded and said: "Okay, just use fire and prepare the holy oil! Use the will of the God of Fire to destroy the vampires!"
Sokuru is convinced that he is a Vulcan cultist, but he is not possessed by demons.
Because King Gers told him that he must believe in and fear the gods, but he cannot rely on them or wait for the gifts from the gods. He must work hard on his own and use his own efforts to prove to the gods that he is worthy of receiving the gifts from the gods.
As he wished, Sokuru prepared holy oil and firearms before the arrival of the left priest.
"Use fire, the God of Fire to protect the country of Uz!"
The generals shouted.
Prince Sokulu ordered people to ask the left priest to go down to rest, and all the generals exited the hall and prepared for battle.
From a dark corner, a man in black robe walked out, his face was extremely cold and his eyes were stern.
"Commander Taixi, what do you think?"
Prince Sokulu came down and stood in front of the man.
This man is Tessi, the leader of Sabah, the Assassin Organization of Uzbekistan.
It is said that Tessie also came from a village near the mountains. With his excellent skills and superb assassination skills, he entered the court of King Us and gained the trust of King Gers.
After Prince Sokuru was designated as the heir, Tessie became Sokuru's subordinate and obeyed Sokuru's command.
"The God of Fire will bless us, but we must work on our own."
"Fire can restrain vampires, but I think there is something better."
The commander of the West was very disdainful of the left priest Gurud. In his opinion, Gurud was just an old man who talked in his sleep and occasionally got a few words wrong.
"Something better?"
Prince Sokulu was surprised. What could be better than the blessing of the God of Fire?
"Your Highness, the Immortal King Deya has never appeared. The enemies we encountered are all servants of the Immortal King. Those things are more like evil spirits from the east. To deal with them, I think Eastern witchcraft is more effective."
Commander Taixi's voice was cold, but every word he spoke seemed firm and unquestionable.
"Yes, my father received a letter from the Eastern Dynasty. The king of the Great Zhou Dynasty told my father that the Holy Envoy of the Immortal King was actually a powerful assassin from the Great Zhou Dynasty named Shen Wanjin."
"He also recruited a group of rangers from the Great Zhou Dynasty, who are also masters from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Long Chen also told my father that to deal with them, use Eastern millstones and sacred trees. There are many in Mahan City, brought by the caravans of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Prince Sokuru nodded slightly, agreeing with Commander Taixi's point of view.
Long Chen's letter arrived in the hands of King Geers, and Sokuru also read it.
In order to accurately understand what Long Chen meant, they also found a translator.
"Our Sabah has prepared some Eastern weapons. If they come tonight, they can try the will of the God of Fire or Eastern witchcraft, which one is more useful!"
Commander Taixi believed in Dazhou's weapons even more because he had seen Shen Wanjin and fought against him.
Monsters from the Zhou Dynasty must of course use weapons and witchcraft from the Zhou Dynasty.
"Okay, let's try it!"
Prince Sokulu nodded and said.
