Compared to the majestic momentum they had come all the way, although the number was not much smaller now, the mood of the warriors had almost reached rock bottom.
Under normal circumstances, facing such a situation, the leader of the team would definitely stand up and encourage everyone. However, no one in the team dared to speak easily. After leaving the Acropolis, everyone kept talking.
He rushed toward the west in silence.
At this moment, this is the time when ordinary warriors have just gone to bed after meditating and practicing. But now, even though everyone feels extremely tired, they have to brace themselves and hurriedly follow the group.
Although the change in numbers is not big, the level of cultivation of warriors is quite different. When we first set off from the Ye Lin Imperial Capital, there were more than a hundred strong men in the Concentration Stage alone, and there were more than a hundred strong men in the Breathing Stage.
There were more than a thousand people there, which was terrifying.
Only a few Qi-sensing warriors can be seen occasionally in the team, and they are not warriors who directly participate in the battle, but are beast masters who specialize in controlling monster mounts.
But now among the team, the Qi-sensing stage and the Qi-receiving stage have reached seventy-eight percent, and the rest are basically in the Qi-receiving stage and the Qi-nurturing stage. On the contrary, there are very few strong people in the Concentration stage. If
It may even be difficult to find without searching carefully.
The reason for this is that most of the strong men in the Concentration Stage chose to sacrifice themselves, thus ensuring that the final team of less than a thousand people could escape from the siege of the monster beasts.
These newly added warriors originally belonged to various forces in the Acropolis and were not under the direct control of the empire. Originally, the more powerful city guards in the Acropolis, as well as the sacrificial halls and Benxiao Pavilion warriors who participated in late winter hunting,
, Ye Meng and others had already executed most of them after they arrived. One was to punish them for their dereliction of duty, the other was to vent their anger, and in addition, it was to frighten all forces in the Acropolis.
Originally, if the chaos went smoothly, there was nothing wrong with them doing this, but no one could have imagined that the situation had taken an unimaginable turn. Especially with the arrival of Xiao Kuangzhan, the strongest man in Lian Ye Lin, the situation still developed to this point.
An unimaginable situation.
As a result, in order to supplement his combat power as much as possible, Xiao Kuangzhan had no choice but to recruit warriors arranged here by various forces.
The only good thing is that each family in the empire has arranged a special team in the Acropolis, which also includes the Xiao family where Xiao Kuangzhan lives, and the Ye family, the first family of Ye Lin.
These families took advantage of the empire's lax management of the Tianping Mountains around the time of hunting in late winter, and sent their own teams to hunt monsters. They also searched for and mined various rare medicinal materials and ores. After that, they made deals one after another.
Convert these various materials obtained from the Tianping Mountains into money.
Therefore, the number of warriors arranged by various family forces in the Acropolis is the most during this period of the year. Once the hunting ends in late winter for about a month, and the craze for trading subsides, they will still be transferred back.
Xiao Kuangzhan knew a little about these things, so of course he was not polite at all now and brought out all the combat power that could be gathered in the city.
It is not only the Acropolis that has received the order, but the other Hongcheng and Xinghou County cities will also receive the order soon. This is done by the chief priest of the sacrificial hall, the second elder of the elders' house and Ye Meng, the master of the Shaoyu hall.
Strictly speaking, the order issued jointly is more important than the decree of the king.
However, the communication formation of the Acropolis has been destroyed by Linlang's people. Therefore, Xiao Kuangzhan's order can only be sent by another person to deliver it. This will inevitably delay the time, but according to Xiao Kuangzhan's estimation
, after everyone crossed the Tianping Mountains, his orders and the affairs of the Acropolis should have spread throughout the Yelin Empire.
However, whenever he thought about the shameful "ceding territory and seeking peace" agreement that the entire empire would receive, Xiao Kuangzhan felt like he was about to vomit blood.
It happened that when he was most depressed, Weng Ben's annoying voice came from beside him. Resisting the urge to turn around and slap him, Xiao Kuangzhan moved his nose and softly let out a "hmm" sound.
If anyone could see Xiao Kuangzhan's face at this time, he would swallow it back even if he said a thousand words. But now Weng Ben prefers to stay directly behind Xiao Kuangzhan. He can't even talk to Xiao Kuangzhan.
There was not a trace of expression on his face, so when he heard the soft "hmm", he thought the other party had heard what he said.
As for Ye Meng, who was beside Xiao Kuangzhan, he was very worried at this time, because he had sent out a large number of troops to Xinshou County and Aicheng, and ended the chaos with a thunderous force.
But now, not only did Shinkari County return in defeat, but because he took away a large amount of combat power, the Qianhuan Sect seized the opportunity and launched an attack on the empire.
Even though no one held him accountable, Ye Meng could not forgive himself. If he had been more cautious and did not choose to deal with the issue of Xingkari County in such a high-profile manner, at least the matter would not have become as difficult to deal with as it is now.
As for the second elder who was supposed to be beside Xiao Kuangzhan, he was now further back, taking out all the precious medicines around him and trying his best to treat the injury of the third elder Ye Peifang.
Ye Peifang's injuries were really serious. His arms were completely in their original form, and there was no value in repairing them. Now the second elder, Ye Xing, is just trying his best to treat them until the injuries are almost repaired.
After a certain level, you can find a way to replace it with a new pair of arms.
There are many ways to replace arms in the sacrificial hall, especially in the Benxiao Pavilion. There are also some beast arms refined with special materials and methods. But all these require that the third elder's injury has been completely stabilized and his physical condition has returned to normal.
This can only be done after fusing the beast arm.
In this way, after Weng Ben spoke, no one except Xiao Kuangzhan noticed it, and of course no one else had any opinions.
In the brief silence, Weng Ben finally couldn't help but speak and said: "The two high priests, Shuihuo, both died in the Acropolis. This grudge cannot be settled like this. And when the matter has developed to this point, it has nothing to do with that man named Zuo.
There is an inseparable relationship with the young man Feng, and even the chief priest has fallen into his trap. Even if this person dies tens of thousands of times, it would not be a pity."
"Hmm" With the same voice, Xiao Kuangzhan responded in almost the same way as before, gently responding with one word.
After the words were spoken, even Weng Ben himself felt that something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words and said: "The chief priest has tried his best. It is only because the enemies are too cunning and took advantage of the changes in the imperial capital to threaten them, so that their conspiracy succeeded.
.No one else would be able to make a better decision than the chief priest.
The agreement with the monster clan is inevitable, and it is impossible for us to take action against those beasts for the time being, but Zuo Feng himself is not a monster, so we don’t need to have any scruples about attacking him."
At this time, Xiao Kuangzhan had withdrawn from his original thoughts. When he listened to Weng Ben's words, his face became even more ugly. Before, it was just dissatisfaction and disgust, but now, his face has changed.
A faint hint of murderous intent emerged.
However, after Xiao Kuangzhi hesitated for a moment, he said very calmly: "So what does the Earth Priest think we should do now?"
Weng Ben, who was slightly uneasy, immediately showed an extremely excited look on his face when he heard that Xiao Kuangzhan actually asked him for advice.
"Before we arrived at the Acropolis, we had already begun to pay special attention to this young man. Not only because he caused Donglin County to be in chaos, not only because of the rumors about the Xuanwu Empire, but more importantly because of the possessions in his hands.
The secret of the eight-door locking formation.
For the prestige of our sacrificial hall, this boy named Zuo Feng must be eliminated so that Zhu Tao and Zheng Lu can rest in peace. And for the future of the empire, this boy must be in our hands, and the most important thing is about all the eight gates.
We must dig out all the secrets of the detention formation."
At this time, Weng Ben looked like he was talking eloquently, but in his eyes, in addition to the flickering of resentment, there was also a touch of greed that was difficult to conceal.
Xiao Kuangzhan's eyes slightly moved to the corners of his eyes, as if he wanted to look back, but his head did not turn back. His eyes paused for a moment and then quickly retracted, but a hint of coldness soon appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ridicule and ridicule.
"Then the Earth Priest thinks that if we want to deal with Zuo Feng, who is the most suitable person?" Xiao Kuangzhan's voice sounded a little more interested than before.
But at this time, the conversation between the two finally caught Ye Meng's attention. Although he did not hear the previous conversation, he could tell from Xiao Kuangzhan's words just now that Weng Ben should have made some suggestions to the chief priest.
.
Weng Ben was overjoyed and immediately said: "Right now, other people are either busy or have important tasks. But I don't have any tasks and I'm in pretty good condition. I'll quietly go up and wait until I'm on the left."
As soon as Feng separated from the group of monsters, I immediately took action to ensure that I could capture him in one fell swoop.
I don’t need to bring him back intact, I just need to imprison his soul.” Weng Ben said the last words through gritted teeth.
"Weng Ben, what are you thinking about? At a time like this, why don't you think about Zuo Feng and the eight-door detention formation? Even if there is something big, it is not as important as rushing back to the imperial capital."
After roughly understanding Weng Ben's plan, Ye Meng immediately spoke dissatisfiedly.
But just as he finished speaking, the chief priest Xiao Kuangzhan nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I think this proposal is very good. If everything goes well, it will not only save the face of the sacrificial hall and the Ye Lin Empire, but also
Get the eight-door locking formation. I’ll see...it’s feasible!”
Hearing what the chief priest said, Ye Mengdun was extremely shocked and couldn't help but want to say something. But just as he opened his mouth, he saw the chief priest glance at him coldly, and immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips.
go back.
"Since this is the case, I hope the chief priest will allocate some powerful people. I promise you will not be disappointed." Weng Ben said while the iron was hot.
Xiao Kuangzhan shook his head and said: "This matter should be kept secret, and the chance of success will be higher. I think the guards around you, plus a team of people from Benxiao Pavilion, should be enough to handle it."
