Chapter 4188: The sword points to the imperial city
After a great battle, corpses littered the wilderness.
The commander knelt on the ground, his face as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of despair.
Not long ago, he controlled hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals, with a large number of practitioners at his disposal.
But in the blink of an eye, all the soldiers were killed, killed by a group of terrifying corpses.
"Monsters, you are all demons!"
Seeing the ghoul soldier holding a saber in his hand, ready to behead himself, the commander finally came to his senses.
He looked up to the sky and roared, his voice full of despair and unwillingness.
If he had known this earlier, he would never have launched an attack and provoked this group of terrifying murderers.
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
Just when he was secretly regretting it, he saw a young man approaching, and the corpses blocking the way retreated to both sides.
"Why, what exactly do you want to do?"
Perhaps knowing that death was imminent, the commander no longer feared and prayed, and just wanted to die a clear death.
"What do I want to do?"
After Tang Zhen heard this, he touched his chin with his hand and answered with a very sure tone.
"I just wanted to pass by."
When the commander heard this, his expression became even more angry.
"Are you kidding me?"
How could he lead a large group of strong men to pass by on a borrowed road? He clearly had evil intentions.
From the moment they received the news, the commander and a large group of nobles firmly believed that Tang Zhen had evil intentions.
The persistence of the main militant faction eventually triggered this war.
"You idiots can only do good things badly, so there is no way to bring good fortune or misfortune. It is only people who bring it upon themselves."
Tang Zhen shook his head, looked at the commander and said: "Originally I was just passing through and didn't want to cause any trouble, but since you are so enthusiastic about staying, I will go to your capital for a tour.
Since you have done something wrong, you have to pay the price. It cannot be solved by pretending to be dumb or apologizing.
Since you can’t kill me, you have to pay with your own life.”
Tang Zhen waved his hand, and the corpse next to him raised his knife and dropped it, while the commander's head shot up into the sky.
"Please, don't..."
At this moment, the commander felt infinite panic in his heart.
He knew how terrifying the zombie army was. Once it entered the capital, it would inevitably cause a catastrophe.
Including his family members, they will definitely die due to the disaster.
He desperately wanted to stop it, but he didn't have the ability, so he could only walk towards the abyss of death with regret.
"Set off."
Tang Zhen gave an order, and the zombie army regrouped and turned back for the first time.
The cultivators who were monitoring from a distance were already frightened out of their wits and turned around to evacuate without hesitation.
They must report the news to the emperor as soon as possible and find ways to deal with the revenge from Tang Zhen.
I just don’t know who can stop this terrible army?
The news spread back to the imperial city, causing a huge shock. The emperor immediately summoned ministers to discuss countermeasures.
They originally thought that they would receive news of victory soon, but they did not expect that it would be such bad news.
One-third of the empire's elite troops were wiped out in one battle, which was simply a disaster.
The power of the corpse army frightened the emperor and the nobles. They were afraid that their troops would approach the city and encounter similar catastrophes.
The emperor immediately ordered to contact the major churches, hoping to obtain support from each other.
The royal families and people in power in various countries are closely related to the church and have obtained sufficient benefits.
Without the support of the church, it would be absolutely wishful thinking to successfully ascend to the throne.
Now that problems have arisen, major churches must not sit idly by and ignore them.
When the royal family sent a special envoy to ask for help confidently, they were rejected.
Senior leaders of major churches closed their doors to thank guests, or claimed to be away on business.
I made it clear that I didn't want to get involved in this matter.
After the news came back, the emperor finally felt panic. He never dreamed that the church would stand by and watch at the critical moment.
Without the support of the major churches and the power of the royal family alone, it would be impossible to fight against the zombie army.
"Why is this happening? You must find out for me!"
It was a life and death crisis, and the emperor became furious and gave orders to his personal bodyguards.
After spending a lot of money, I finally got the news and learned the cause and effect of the incident.
Until this moment, they didn't know the horrific record of the zombie army and how terrifying this special team was.
The desperate emperor was trembling all over. If he had known this earlier, he would not have dared to order an ambush.
"Why, no one told me at first."
The emperor's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat someone, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
The ministers and nobles below were all silent, and no one dared to ask for trouble at this time.
Those nobles who had evil intentions and secretly colluded with the church did not dare to tell the truth about the matter.
If the emperor knew that they had been hinted by the church's top leaders to fully support this war, they would definitely be severely punished.
A furious emperor would probably order the confiscation of his family and the extermination of his family, using their heads as a bargaining chip.
Combined with the known intelligence, anyone with a discerning eye can already see that this is actually the major churches using their swords to kill people.
Use the royal family as a chess piece to launch an attack on Tang Zhen, and then reap the benefits.
Although this is true, no one dares to testify. Facing the revenge of the zombie army, the mastermind of the conspiracy will definitely throw the blame and flee.
When the emperor was furious, the ministers and nobles had already made up their mind to find ways to protect themselves and evacuate when they returned.
The furious emperor finally had no choice but to adopt a multi-pronged approach, sending envoys to stop the zombie army while continuing to seek help from major churches.
At the same time, he recruited suppressed practitioners at all costs and assembled an army to defend the imperial city.
I believe that by doing this, there will be a chance to resolve the crisis.
In a short period of time, the atmosphere in the imperial city became extremely tense, and many people realized that something was wrong.
Through some secret channels, ministers and nobles quietly transferred family property. Although the emperor issued a ban and no one was allowed to evacuate, the rules did not affect the framers.
Because of the zombie army, the entire imperial capital was in chaos, and ordinary people were even more panicked.
War reports continued to come from the front line, and the zombie army marched straight in, and no army could stop it.
After suffering several disastrous defeats, no one dared to die again.
The menacing zombie army finally reached the foot of the imperial city and was intercepted by a million-strong army.
Although there was a huge difference in military strength, the defenders of the imperial city did not have the slightest confidence.
Just when everyone thought that war was about to break out, Tang Zhen ordered the attack to be stopped.
He only made one request, hand over the culprit who ambushed him, and he couldn't leave anything out.
When the news reached the imperial city, it was like an earth-shattering shock, causing huge waves.
He thought he would not be able to escape, but he did not want to survive. The emperor was extremely excited.
He immediately agreed and sent people to arrest him.
When it comes to his own life and death, the emperor no longer cares about many things. As long as he belongs to the main fighting faction, even the royal family and nobles are not exempt.
No one is sure whether Tang Zhen has secret identification skills. If the peace talks break down due to favoritism, wouldn't it lead to the restart of the war?
The emperor did not dare to gamble, and did not care about other people's sacrifices. He even felt that they deserved their sins.
If it weren't for these warring factions, why would we have fallen to this point?
The anger in the emperor's heart has long been burning, and he urgently needs to kill a group of people to vent his anger.
Since he came to the throne, he has never been so serious and determined to do something well.
Unexpectedly, this behavior triggered a desperate resistance from the main militant faction.
The ministers and nobles who supported the war could not be captured without restraint. When they heard Tang Zhen's conditions, they were already ready to rebel.
The emperor sent troops to arrest him, and the war party immediately launched a counterattack, causing chaos in the entire capital.
Listening to the constant shouts of killing and looking at the thick smoke rising into the sky, Tang Zhen vaguely noticed something was wrong.
Using magical skills to investigate and deduce, I found that my luck finally worked, and I accidentally encountered a closed divine kingdom.
