Volume 3 The War of the Rising Sun Chapter 190 Retaking the East Sun City
As the master of Iron Armor Peak finished speaking, several soul-killing cannons were pushed out.
When the soul-returning monk was within shooting range, the monk in charge of the soul-killing cannon shouted.
"fire!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
As soon as the soul-destroying cannon flashed, shells continued to hit the camp of the Soul Return Hall. Immediately, some of the Soul Return Hall monks were blown away, with their flesh spraying everywhere.
However, the several golden elixir monks on the other side were not idlers. They began to use magic weapons to defend themselves and at the same time began to organize personnel to launch a counterattack.
The power of a soul-killing cannon is roughly equivalent to a strike from a Golden Core monk, and Golden Core monks are the high-level combat power of each force.
However, when used like the soul-destroying cannon, it is simply a soul-devouring beast. Once a cannonball is fired, it will consume many spiritual stones.
Although it is expensive to use, the effect achieved is very good, especially during defense, fire attack and cover, and when attacking cities and territories.
After the monks from the Soul Return Hall approached, the monks from the Soul Return Hall also began to use the soul-killing cannon. Under the cover of the soul-killing cannon, many monks began to attack the city.
Xiangyang City also sent some monks to join the fight. Not long after the battle, because the Jindan monks fought with great power, eight Jindan monks also began to fly into the air and started fighting.
The monks on both sides kept fighting like this, and some monks continued to fall. The ones who fell the most were the monks in the Qi refining stage, and there were also some physical warriors who had no spiritual power. These warriors would only show their advantage in close combat.
There are also some monks who returned to the city to recover their spiritual energy due to exhaustion during the battle.
Xiangyang City's defensive mask was also bombarded by the opponent's soul-killing cannon, creating a gap, and then the defensive mask was shattered.
After the defensive mask shattered, the monks from both sides began to fight each other. This scene was not only in Xiangyang City, but also in Wangri City.
Several other smaller cities also began to attack and kill them. Today this small city was captured, and not long after, this city was taken back again, and monks died every day.
The border war also began to become increasingly tense, requiring a large number of monks to replenish the troops.
If Xiangyang City and Wangri City fall, the entire Shengyang Sect will be exposed to the eyes of Hungui Palace.
The east gate of the Shengyang Sect would be completely opened. As some monks from the three sects including the Soul Return Hall sneaked in, they wiped out one group after another. Finally, another peak master meeting was held in the Shengyang Hall.
The masters of Iron Armor Peak and Zhengqi Peak did not come here to attend the meeting because they were stationed at the border. There was a sand table placed on a table in Shengyang Hall.
What is shown above is a map of Zhongzhou, which marks some friendly and hostile forces, as well as some neutral spheres of influence.
This time everyone focused on Xiangyang City and Wangri City. At this time, Dongri City was marked in red.
After inquiring about the news from Wuyin Peak and some news coming back from the border, Sect Leader Wang and several peak masters observed for a long time.
"Dongri City must be captured!" the master of Qianji Peak said.
"Senior Brother Tian is right, Dongri City must be recaptured first!" said the master of the Beast Controlling Peak.
"According to the news just now, as well as the news returned from the investigation of Wuyin Peak, most of the monks from the three sects including Hungui Palace who sneaked into the territory were secretly transported from Dongri City."
"If these monks are allowed to smuggle in, it will be detrimental to the stability of the territory. Many small forces that support us have been massacred, causing other forces that support our sect to panic! We must take back Dongri City and rebuild the defense!"
Peony Peak Master Li Hanxin analyzed on the side.
"Junior sister Han Xin said it is not unreasonable. This time I am willing to volunteer to be the vanguard and take back Dongri City for the sect!" Yushou Fengfeng volunteered.
"That's good! Solving the problem of Dongri City as soon as possible and taking over the lost territory will be of great help in dismantling the plans of the three sects including Hungui Palace."
"In this way, I will write a letter to ask the monks from Huajian Sect and Jiqiao Pavilion to put pressure on Tianling Sect and Corpse Refining Sect at their borders. After all, the three of us are also allies now." Headmaster Wang said.
"The defense of Dongri City is different now. Let Junior Sister Hanxin go with you then! This time, we will mobilize some disciples from various peaks to go! Take back Dongri City."
"Take your orders!" Several other peak masters replied one after another.
After the peak masters returned to the peak, they began to ask their subordinates to gather some disciples in the sect, and many monks in retreat were also forcibly summoned.
This time, a team of about two hundred people was gathered, half of which were new disciples and handyman disciples.
Most of the new disciples here have just joined the sect, and many of the handyman disciples have been recruited back after returning to their hometowns, all for the Shengyang Sect.
Along with the Master of the Beast Taming Peak and the Master of the Peony Peak, these disciples didn't know what mission they were going to perform.
All I know is that this time I am going to carry out a secret mission, and Jiang Tian is also among the people recruited for this mission.
No matter what, there will definitely be a tough battle to fight this time, although Jiang Tian is also preparing for the Zhongzhou Taoism Conference.
After all, if there is no sect, why participate in the Zhongzhou Taoism Conference? What honor can you win for the sect? All of this is based on the existence of the sect.
Some other disciples in the sect were also summoned to go to other borders of Shengyang Sect, not only to resist the Hungui Palace, but also to face other surrounding hostile forces.
When a tiger gradually shows fatigue and is injured, some cats and dogs around it will also start to jump up, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
The area under the jurisdiction of the Shengyang Sect today is, although it looks like nothing on the surface, it is secretly surging.
Some forces that have lost their sense of security, some were frightened by the method of soul returning to the palace, and there is also the pressure of public opinion, so they have to seek asylum from some forces again.
Today's Shengyang Sect feels like a tree has fallen and the hozens have scattered.
Some of the forces in the jurisdiction that supported the Shengyang Sect, and several larger forces began to unite with each other, and ignored the orders issued by the Shengyang Sect.
Currently, most of the Shengyang Sect's forces are deployed against the Soul Return Hall, and some are placed at other important passes.
For example, the foreign monks in the Northern Wilderness, the demon tribes in the Moon Exploration Mountains, those on the border with the Tianling Sect, and other demon tribes also need to be vigilant at all times.
We can only deal with these forces later.
Nowadays, the Shengyang Sect is suffering from internal and external troubles, and there are not many forces that fully support the Shengyang Sect. Most of them remain on the sidelines.
The Shengyang Sect currently does not have the extra manpower to control these forces. Fortunately, these forces are relatively sensible and have not made any major moves.
At this time, Jiang Tian, along with the Master of the Beast Taming Peak and the Master of the Peony Peak, were secretly rushing to the mission place. Jiang Tian and other disciples did not know where they were going.
When Jiang Tian and his party arrived at Xiangyang City, the two peak masters told the details of the mission, and everyone knew about the mission, which was to recapture Dongri City. Jiang Tian had just visited Dongri City not long ago.
Naturally, I know some things that happened in Dongri City. Now the four peak masters of Shengyang Sect have gathered on the border here. This power cannot be underestimated.
The four peak masters are all monks in the late Golden Core stage. They are a strong force everywhere. Any one of them is at the ancestor level of some forces. These are relatively powerful forces, and the ancestors of ordinary families are also
There is only one golden elixir stage of cultivation.
After the masters of the Beast Control Peak and the Peony Peak arrived, the master of the Zhengqi Peak in Wangri City also came over secretly, and after some discussion.
It was decided that the leaders of Iron Armor Peak and Zhengqi Peak would gather the power of Xiangyang City and Wangri City to pretend to attack West Soul City where the soul returned to the palace.
Secretly, with the support of the Master of the Beast Control Peak and the Master of the Mudan Peak, they made a surprise attack on Dongri City, trying to take back Dongri City at once.
Not long after, some news came. It turned out that forces such as the Friendship Sword Gate and the Jiqiao Pavilion began to display their troops on the border.
This led to some of the monks who were sent to the Soul Returning Hall to begin to withdraw from the sect to strengthen the defense of the border, which to a certain extent reduced the number of monks from the Tianling Sect and the Corpse Refining Sect who came to support them.
When the four peak masters received the news, they first began to gather troops in Xiangyang City and Wangri City with great fanfare.
Under the leadership of the masters of the Zhengqi Peak and the Iron Armor Peak, they bypassed Dongri City in a mighty manner and headed towards the West Soul City where the Hungui Palace belongs.
"Report!"
"Concentrate your forces toward Yang City and Wangri City, bypass Dongri City, and look at the direction as if you are heading towards West Soul City!"
In Dongri City, a foundation-building monk was reporting to a late-stage Jindan monk in the city lord's palace.
"Report!"
"Enemy troops have been discovered within five hundred miles of the city! The leaders seem to be the two peak masters who are stationed in Xiangyang City and Wangri City. Looking at the strength of the troops this time, most of the troops in the two cities have been dispatched!"
After a spy from West Soul City found out the news, he quickly came to the city lord's mansion to report.
"What! These monks from the Shengyang Sect took the wrong medicine. Aren't they afraid that the other two cities will be captured?"
Said a monk who was in the late Jindan stage of Soul Return Palace and was sitting in the middle position.
In addition to the two Yuanying elders, there is a main hall master and six deputy hall masters in the Hungui Hall.
This time, the two deputy palace masters were in charge of each of the two cities, and they were both in the late Jindan stage.
"Is there something fishy this time?" a golden elixir monk next to him warned.
"Haha, now our side has the advantage, and this time it is just right to prevent them from coming back! Send a message to Deputy Palace Master Luo who is in charge of Dongri City, this time the two of us will attack from both sides! Beat up the Shengyang Sect team.
"
"Let's see how the Shengyang Sect loses its two peak masters then!" After the deputy palace master who was in charge of West Soul City finished speaking, he began to have a plan in his mind, and then said.
"Pass my order! Gather the disciples in the palace in the city and prepare to fight!"
"Take orders!"
Then the monks from West Soul City began to gather, came to the city wall, and looked at the monks from the Shengyang Sect who were slowly coming.
In Dongri City, the deputy head of the Luo family of the Hungui Palace received news from the West Hun City.
"Follow me and gather the troops to catch the turtles in a jar for the Shengyang Sect monks who are attacking West Soul City this time!"
"Palace Master Luo, is this inappropriate? Dongri City has to be on guard!" said a golden elixir-level monk next to him.
"Palace Master Luo! How about we take advantage of the reduced strength of Xiangyang City and Wangri City to capture these two cities!" said a monk wearing a green robe next to him.
"No, the Shengyang Sect has been operating in those two cities for many years. Even if we capture them, we won't be able to defend them for long, and then we will be flanked by the two peak masters."
"Let's do this! This time I will take Junior Brother Jiang, and you two will stay here!" Deputy Palace Master Luo said.
After saying that, he began to prepare to attack the Shengyang Sect monks with his troops.
"boom!"
Then the sound of a soul-killing cannon began to be heard outside the city.
"Report!"
"A large number of monks from the Shengyang Sect were discovered outside the city. The two leaders are Golden Core Stage monks! They are an old man riding a tiger and an old woman."
At this time, a foundation-building period spy immediately came to report.
"What! Just follow me and take a look!"
After saying that, he immediately went to the city wall and saw two familiar figures on the opposite side.
"Master of Beast Taming Peak and Master of Peony Peak! When did these two old guys come here!"
"No! Their focus this time is Dongri City! Send a message to the palace quickly and ask for support!" Deputy Palace Master Luo said hurriedly on the city wall.
