After the Human Empire's army retreated, Fang Qingyun and Xin Guogong made an exchange.
Duke Xin Guo was in charge of the Dusk Fortress, and Duke Fu Guo assisted him.
The Prime Minister of Heaven also sent two of his capable men, a total of four powerful generals, enough to guard the Dusk Fortress and ensure that the fortress was intact.
Then, Fang Qingyun came to Ziyue City, and in an instant, the demon army that had retreated completely disappeared.
Obviously, the arrival of Fang Qingyun has made the demons no longer have the desire to fight!
It is impossible to deal with Fang Qingyun with only Mei Lin.
At least two powerful demon kings are needed.
With the situation unclear, the demons are obviously unwilling to fight because their population is too small.
However, they couldn't just let it go, after all, they occupied so much territory.
A huge fortress was built opposite Ziyue City.
This time, the demon clan showed its powerful power as an overlord.
He mobilized countless general-level experts to build a huge fortress in just one month.
The huge fortress, which is thousands of meters high and can carry more than half a million troops, overlooks Ziyue City.
The name of the fortress is: Devil Comes!
With this fortress, the demons can attack Youyue Empire at any time.
It's not like Fang Qingyun has never thought about destroying this fortress.
During the construction process on the opposite side, he mobilized countless times to storm the fortress.
Unfortunately, the Demon King Merlin left, and the Demon Clan transferred two more Demon Kings, as well as ten high-ranking generals, who beat Fang Qingyun until he lost his temper, and fled back to Ziyue City in embarrassment for the first time.
In the face of absolute numbers, the immortal summoned beasts also lose their meaning.
Every time, he was defeated within three seconds of appearing on the stage!
Of course, he is not easy to mess with. The purpose of the demons building this fortress is to guard against him.
In addition to these, the second major event is that the human race and the demon race started a war.
After Fang Qingyun and others left, the Human Empire was still thinking of ways to deal with the Youyue Empire.
In the eyes of the human imperial family, Fang Qingyun and others are even more hateful than the demon clan.
For this reason, they sent invitations to the demon clan and the demon clan and paid a huge price, hoping that they would take action against the Youyue Empire.
However, an accident happened.
The land that the Human Empire currently occupies is much larger than that of the Youyue Empire.
Fang Qingyun and the Prime Minister of Heaven joined forces, but they only managed to pull away about 20% of the nobles of the human race, and they still had most of their strength left.
but!
You ask these two human empires, which one is easier to bully?
Almost no one would think that Youyue is easy to bully.
From any angle, the Terran Empire is easier to deal with.
Although the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Heaven is over a hundred years old, in terms of his strength, he has just entered the peak period. His strength may be even greater in the future.
Not to mention Fang Qingyun, how many days has he been an adult?
The power is far from its peak!
What about the Human Empire?
The war king is dead, and there are three kings left. Oh, strictly speaking, it should be three and a half.
Gu Shanshui's ancestor was also a king. The king's power has declined and he will not live for a few more years.
Not to mention the demon clan, the human race doesn't even take him seriously. For such an old guy, just ignore him. The more you ignore him, the more things will happen.
Although he burns himself, he can still burst out with the power of a king, which is enough to fight a battle. The question is, is this old guy willing to burn himself?
All he thinks about all day long is how to prolong his life!
Otherwise, this old thing wouldn't be able to live for hundreds of years.
Definitely the oldest person in the human race!
Take away him, and there are still three kings left.
King Xuanji is a strong man. He is in his prime and no one dares to underestimate him.
In addition, the remaining
The two kings below guard the most important gate between the demon race and the human race and cannot leave.
The last veteran king of the imperial family is older than the King of War.
Can I still fight?
Wouldn't it be the same as the ancestor of the Gu family?
Faced with such a human race, is it still reasonable not to beat them?
Although there are more high-ranking divine generals and peak divine generals, they can also contain the king, but in terms of the number of strong men at these two levels, the human race is the smallest.
After a brief discussion, the demon tribe immediately sent troops.
I originally expected the Human Empire to fight against the Youyue Empire and consume the national power. It is unlikely, so let them do it instead!
The demon clan wants the land of the human race, wants to avenge the past hatred, and they also want to eat the fresh flesh and blood of the human race.
Facing the attack of the demon clan, the human race was undoubtedly stunned.
If you don’t fight Youyue, why are you fighting us?
We have given you so many benefits, why do you still attack us?
The senior officials of the human empire who were arguing in the court about how to expand their troops to deal with the Youyue Empire could hardly believe their ears when they heard what the military department said!
"Say what you just said again?"
"Yes!" The man from the military department said eagerly: "Our human empire, the Beiyue Fortress has been destroyed, and the demon army has entered our human territory."
The emperor's vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Beiyue Fortress is the largest and strongest fortress for the human race to resist the demon race.
Something happened to that fortress, and the human race was lying flat in front of the demon race, so you can enjoy it as you please.
"Where's King Dong?"
The emperor roared.
"His Royal Highness Dongwang was seriously injured by the two kings of the demon clan and lost track of him."
He lost his trace, didn't he just get beaten away?
However, it is indeed difficult to face two kings at the same time.
There are only a few people like Fang Qingyun who can defeat the two kings at the same time.
However, the emperor didn't care so much. When he heard the news that the Beiyue Fortress had been breached, he immediately roared angrily: "Dongwang, damn, I will punish him!"
Grass!
Many ministers cursed fiercely in their hearts.
What a fucking pig!
What time is it now and you still want to punish the king?
Why don’t you go to heaven!
Normally, the king's status is also very aloof. It is impossible for you to punish someone if you want to.
The prime minister of the Kingdom of Heaven has left. In addition to being greatly stimulated, you have completely let yourself go, right?
Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?
"His Majesty!"
Some ministers could not bear it anymore and stood up and said: "We should find a way now to drive out the demon clan as soon as possible. It is really too dangerous for the demon clan to enter the Beiyue Fortress."
"Don't I know?" The emperor roared angrily and said, "But King Dong's guilt cannot be spared either."
Fine!
The minister said feebly: "Then, who should we send?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent.
"how?"
Seeing this, the emperor became even more angry and said, "Can't we, a great human race, find someone suitable to lead the army?"
Still silent.
The emperor turned his cold gaze to the former right prime minister and now the left prime minister.
This man was originally the left prime minister. After the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Heaven came to power, he was squeezed into the position of the right prime minister.
After the Prime Minister of Heaven left, he became the Left Prime Minister again.
This is also a capable person, otherwise, how could he keep wandering around in phase.
Being stared at by the emperor, the left prime minister could only bite the bullet and stood up and said: "King Xuanji can command the army!"
"Then who should I choose as the leader?"
This sentence is wrong, you should ask, who else can lead the army!
Prime Minister Zuo cursed in his heart.
After Chun Huo and others returned,
Taking advantage of the defeat in the war, the emperor removed several people from their posts and arranged for his own people to join the military headquarters.
The current military department is very obedient, but there is no one who can fight!
According to the custom of the human race, after becoming a king, he no longer leads troops. When there is a war, he sits in the army and fights against the opponent's king.
The person who leads the troops will be arranged separately!
Now, who will arrange it?
The left prime minister wanted to say, didn't the military department just consecrate several marshals?
He doesn't dare!
It's not that they're afraid of offending the emperor, but if those bastards ruin the elite legions of the human race, then the human empire will really be doomed.
"Speak, why don't any of you speak?"
The emperor stood up suddenly and roared loudly;
"Your Majesty, I think Marshal Long Yu can lead the army!"
"Your Majesty, Marshal Prince Xing can also lead troops!"
"His Majesty……"
Many ministers saw His Majesty being angry and immediately recommended one list after another.
In fact, they had wanted to recommend it for a long time, but the other ministers did not say anything. They were not sure. Now His Majesty is angry. How long will they wait until they still recommend it?
These ministers all hold high positions of power, and their positions are extremely high above the court.
However, after these people finished speaking, many of the ministers who had just been silent showed sarcastic expressions.
Especially the left prime minister, the temples on his forehead were throbbing.
These recommended ministers are all the product of competition between various factions in the imperial family after the departure of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Heaven.
In addition to the departure of the prime minister of the Kingdom of Heaven, the imperial family has completely entered the court. They occupy various important departments and bring the human empire closer to the family and the world.
As for these recommended people...
Prime Minister Zuo suddenly thought of someone.
Qin Xinlong!
A top divine general participated in the war against the Youyue Empire half a year ago.
It is said that it was he who shouted at the end, demanding the withdrawal of troops.
In the end, he was knocked unconscious by King Xuanji and dragged back.
Above the court, the recommended people must have a certain rank, a certain status, a certain power, and they are all people like Qin Xinlong.
The left prime minister said that he was horrified to let such a person lead the army.
"His Majesty!"
Prime Minister Zuo stood up and said loudly: "I recommend Marshal Pure Fire!"
As soon as he came out, there was silence in the entire hall.
The emperor was happy when he heard the recommended names one by one. But when he heard the left minister's words, his face suddenly dropped, and there was even a cold light shining in his eyes.
In that battle half a year ago, Pure Fire openly defied the imperial family's orders.
After Qin Xinlong came back, he put all the responsibilities on Chun Huo.
Of course, this is not a pushback, because that is what Chunhuo did, and there were many marshals in the military department who openly defied the imperial family's orders, which the emperor could not tolerate.
As a result, Chunhuo and others left their current positions. They were still marshals, but they were idle.
The people who replace them now are all powerful men from the imperial family.
Who doesn’t know that Chunhuo and the others are a thorn in the emperor’s side?
The left prime minister actually dared to recommend it!
Although Qin Xinlong and others also made the emperor unhappy, how could they be compared to those like Chun Huo, who were members of the imperial family with the same blood.
However, Zuo Xiang was extremely insistent and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Marshal Chunhuo has sufficient strength and rich experience. If she leads the troops and cooperates with King Xuanji..."
"enough!"
The emperor shouted angrily and interrupted the left minister's words.
He said coldly: "Chun Huo made a big mistake during the last battle. She has no intention of repenting. How does she still want to lead the army? If something goes wrong, can you take the responsibility?"
The left prime minister's lips trembled and he could not speak a word.
「
Moreover, our human empire has been inherited for thousands of years. Is there no one else except Pure Fire?"
Yes, why not?
There are many useful talents!
But do you use it?
Snake King!
Xiang Tian!
…
The original ten marshals of the empire are almost all capable people, but can you use these people?
As expected, the meeting ended quickly.
The human race urgently mobilized 300,000 troops and rushed to the battlefield. At the same time, they would collect the defeated troops of Beiyue Fortress along the way.
The total will reach more than one million troops.
King Xuanji is in charge of the army!
Dongwang Assistant.
As for the person leading the troops, Marshal Long Yu!
Qin Xinlong assists!
Upon hearing this result, the left prime minister shook his body and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Long Yu is a rising star in the human empire. He is only in his thirties, but he already has the strength of a god general.
Moreover, he is very close to the superior general.
He himself is the son-in-law of the imperial family.
Therefore, his strength was accumulated by relying on the vast resources of the imperial family.
He has also fought many victorious battles and is somewhat famous among the demon and demon clans.
but!
From the perspective of the left prime minister, he can find problems in those victorious battles.
The battles fought by marshals like Pure Fire and Snake King are obviously very different.
Now, let such a person lead the army!
Moreover, he was actually asked to gather the defeated army to fight!
Does he have this experience?
The front line is so tense, how much time will be given to him?
Qin Xinlong as an assistant?
Prime Minister Zuo always had the urge to cover his eyes.
He didn't know how he got out of the hall.
Looking at the rising sun, he felt extremely dazzling.
"Let's go!" After getting into his special car, Prime Minister Zuo immediately said: "Go to Marshal Chunhuo!"
"this……"
The driver was startled.
Although Marshal Chunhuo still holds the title of marshal, he has long been dismissed, and the place where he lives now is a restricted area.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Zuo Xiang frowned and said coldly: "Hurry up!"
"Yes!" The driver shuddered and quickly accelerated the car.
Soon, a somewhat empty mansion appeared in front of the left prime minister.
The door is closed and there is no guard!
Even a lot of weeds have sprouted up.
The left prime minister smiled sarcastically.
Chun Huogui was once the first marshal of the military. What a character she was. Although she lived in a remote place, she was still popular among people.
At this moment, the palace of the Pure Fire Generalissimo was not even visited by dogs for a while.
Prime Minister Zuo didn't know what to say about Marshal Chunhuo's experience.
Essentially, the other party does not want to fight a meaningless battle.
Because that's a losing battle.
She wanted to protect the soldiers' lives.
However, she disobeyed the imperial family's orders!
