The beacon towers are still lighting up one after another and are approaching the royal capital. Wang Gui is sitting in the court dealing with government affairs. The grain and grass from Zhoujun have been transported and must be distributed to the cities of the dynasty as soon as possible.
Ji Wen watched the battle between Ri Ning and Yue Xing in Hao Mansion. After they came back from Sacred Heart Mountain, the gap in combat power has been significantly shortened. Hao Yuexing seems to not be able to really speak yet and can only make sounds now.
Hao Ri Ning stabbed out a cone-shaped energy 'Stab·Yao Xuan', which was easily split by Yuexing. She took advantage of the Ri Ning still gathering energy, 'Huan' directly approached him and forcibly interrupted it, although she only used a dagger. , but his strength was not inferior to his brother, Hao Rining had to use his other hand to break the stalemate.
Hao Yuexing dexterously turned behind Ri Ning and used an enhanced attack, 'Netherworld Crack'. Hao Ri Ning managed to use the energy that he could not fully gather to fire out a ball of fire. With the energy overflowing, Hao Ri Ning stabbed him again. When the Phoenix-Slaying Sword was released, the fierce fire formed a whirlpool 'Gu·Yao Xuan'.
It turned out that Hao Rining sensed that Yuexing had condensed powerful energy on the other side. The stabbing was to hurt the enemy, and the guard acted as a shield.
However, two shadow energy balls 'Village Explosion' suddenly appeared on both sides behind Hao Rining. He jumped back, and the two balls touched each other. The energy not only cut off the two black balls, but also split the celestial body, directly defeating Yuexing.
Hao Rining's current ability can barely match that of his mother's normal state, and when Ji Wen uses the Holy Light Armor, Hao Rining can be said to have no power to fight back.
"Urgent report, a beacon is burning in the northeast."
Ji Wen and Wang Gui received the bad news from their men almost at the same time. They quickly left the room and approached each other's location. Hao Rining and Hao Yuexing also quickly followed their mother.
"You." The two people who almost collided said in unison. As if they had telepathy, they both rushed to the main hall.
At this time, some officials had arrived in the hall, and they were talking a lot. When they saw Wang Gui approaching, they quickly shut up.
Wang Gui sat on the throne and said: "I think all the ministers have seen the beacon fire on the wall of the royal capital. Qijun was attacked. It is very likely that the empire wants to retake the Holy Light Continent."
A minister raised a question: "There is a sea of dead souls between Qi County and Shadow Continent. How did the empire cross it?"
Another person said: "They must have gathered on Pirate Island very early. The so-called Xiamen are not reliable at all. They must have rebelled."
"Maybe they never wanted to submit from the beginning."
"This matter will be discussed in the future. The grain and grass from Zhou County have just arrived the day before yesterday. Now we can use part of it as military rations. After Qin County has integrated the army, some will be mobilized to Zhou and Cheng two counties for border defense to prevent the empire from attacking from the east to the west. Ying He may also be involved, and ordered all warriors from each county who hold weapons forged by the God of Creation to be summoned to attack together."
"We also need to issue a notice that the entire Bladeless Country must enter a state of war readiness and be prepared to comfort the refugees. We must also recruit civilians and energy-awakened people in each city."
The war started without prediction. Qi County is different from other counties and cities. The sea area between it and the Shadow Continent has heavy rain all year round. It is impossible for ordinary ships to cross it. There is no energy tower built between the two places, and it is easy to get lost. Therefore, there are no garrison arrangements at the border of Qijun.
As for the area near Pirate Island, although many ports have been established to station troops, there are only more than 7,000 people, and only 2,000 can be mobilized after receiving a war order.
Qin Jingru and the others had packed their things and were about to go to the training ground to lead the troops, but a letter from Qin Guan arrived. He told Jingru that she was not allowed to participate in the war, and was not even allowed to return to Qinjun City. She, who had always obeyed her father's orders, had no choice but to put down her luggage again.
Mr. Guo was already old and could not go to the war, so he and Jingru stayed in the hut.
Time passed quickly, but there was still no movement from the empire. Langyan and the energy tower had been maintaining a state of preparation for war. Feng Le kept sending people over to investigate. Although these people came back safe and sound, their intelligence had not moved. However, there is also news that the empire's military strength is still increasing, and they are obviously hoarding troops.
Qijun City is now managed by the shield guards of Qi Biao. He mobilized all the troops in the county to set up defense in Nangan City. Although the entire Qijun can mobilize 30,000 troops, the grain and grass from Zhoujun have not been transported yet. The current military food supply is not enough to maintain such a large team, so the number of troops to reinforce Nangan City is only 10,000.
The land that can be used to grow crops in Qi County is really scarce. The residents of the Holy Kingdom originally used the method recorded in the "Records of the True God" to grow crops. Since the Holy Kingdom was wiped out, this method has been lost, and they can only rely on the food and grass from Zhou County. and seafood from Wujun.
It is worth mentioning that the trees in Qijun grow extremely fast, which is why they are responsible for making utensils.
"Can't wait for the empire to attack? What are you doing with a mere 40,000 troops? They are going to die. If you want to win the final victory of the battle, you must spend more time preparing before the war begins! You really can't wait any longer? Then let me tell you secretly, The empire was defeated, but all this has nothing to do with the man named Qin Feng. This so-called protagonist just lived longer and did not participate in the battle. I want to know who said this? How can I I may tell you that you know nothing about me except that I exist and am Ying He’s subordinate. To save you from being bored, I reluctantly changed the time to three days later.”
"Are all the generals here?" Ying He asked.
Hehe (just without saying anything) said: "Everyone is here."
Ying He then looked at Shi Juan who was still concentrating on the refining furnace. He had already refined the Kuang Zhan and Wang Ren knives. They were integrated into Ying He's Substitute Moon Knife and Three-edged Spear respectively. Now they have become legends. level sword.
Are you confused as to why Shi Juan refined it for Ying He so easily? Huh, why do you think he is alone in Qi County, with no fellow disciples around him, expelled from the school, and not recognizing his talents? Who wouldn't be excited to finally have such a place to display his talents?
What is now in the smelting furnace is the Burst Blade. The Lingri Shield as the smelting material is used to make up for the missing parts of the Burst Blade. However, Shi Juan feels that the supplementary part can never be merged with the blade. It seems that There is an inexplicable rejection.
Ying He seemed to be impatient with waiting and said, "If it doesn't work, just let it return to its original state."
Shi Juan gave up trying to merge the blade and body, and planned to make them into pieces of flying blades. However, they developed an inexplicable attraction, and it became difficult to separate the two parts.
Shi Juan directly placed the mold on it to cool down, and steam spurted out in an instant. Seeing that there was no red mark on the surface of the tool, Ying He directly picked up the bursting knife. Miraculously, there were no pieces of flying blades. Under the guidance of energy, they flew directly over. They did not directly complement the blade, but floated directly. Ying He was greatly surprised. With a simple wave, these blades also flew.
"Shield warriors, surround me."
The imperial warriors holding shields formed a circle, and Ying He stood inside. He injected shadow energy into the bursting knife, and then quickly turned, and the blade flew in all directions, either piercing the shield or being bounced away. After Ying He released his energy, all the flying blades were sucked back.
Ying He was overjoyed, but Shi Juan told him that there was no more material to use.
"Your Majesty, the strange stone (meteorite) you obtained before can be used as a material."
"You're talking about that stone that fell from the sky? Does it really make sense to use these stones as materials?"
"Of course, as long as you temper it more, the sword fused with this stone will become even harder."
So Ying He asked people to bring up the strange stone. Because of its strange origin, Ying He ordered people to carry it with him.
Shi Juan got this strange stone and asked doubtfully: "What is the difference between this and ordinary stones?"
"You could try smelting it."
"Smelting this stone? You should know that there is no way to smelt stone with charcoal now."
"That's why it's called Strange Stone."
Shi Juan doubtfully put the stone into the furnace. As a result, the molten liquid quickly flowed into the instrument of the Ba Dao Dao. Shi Juan, who wanted to say something, could only focus on refining.
At this time, Wang Ti suddenly walked up and said to Ying He: "Your Majesty, I am willing to dedicate my left eye as a material for smelting weapons. I hope it can be reused by your Majesty."
"You want to be a school captain like Xiao Xue. Your strength is enough for the appointment, but are there anything special about your eyes?"
"I have been called an alien by my family since I was born, just because my eyes look like a phoenix, and I have the majesty of a phoenix, so I want to dedicate it to the king."
Before Ying He could say anything, Wang Ti dug out his left eye and cut off the connecting nerves while enduring the pain. The blood stained his entire left hand red, and he slowly stretched out towards Ying He.
Ying He didn't feel any discomfort. After all, he had seen crueler scenes than this. He picked up the eyeball with one hand, waited until the smelting of Shijuan was finished, and placed it in the middle.
"Hey~." Hong Lao instantly burned his eyes, which stimulated its energy. When the blade cooled down, the eyeballs were intact.
Ying He suddenly swung his sword at Wang Ti, and placed the overbearing sword on his shoulder, Wang Ti, from now on, you are the General Huangyan.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ti looked at Ying He in disbelief.
"Are you surprised? I think you have the ability to serve as a general. Don't let me doubt my eyes."
"General Wang Ti will definitely fulfill his mission and swear to contribute to the Shadow Empire to the death."
Ying He continued: "Don't forget your original intention and protect Xiao Xue. She will be the guardian of the Rain Core and be appointed as the General of the Rain Core."
Four legendary swords are in Ying He's hands, and Shi Juan also used the remaining rare stone materials to build armor. Everything is ready, and the war will officially begin.
