Baihua stood on the city wall that was about to be completed, looking at the huge rocks and sand that were rolling down on the Qingji Mountains in the distance, and the dust was flying.
Over and over in my mind, I reviewed the warriors I arranged at each defensive distance, the trebuchets, the hot oil and golden juice being cooked...
From this distance, she could already see the peak of the Qingji Mountains. In addition to more and more rocks rolling down, she seemed to see the entire Qingji Mountains shaking.
"This side is about to completely collapse. When the mountains completely collapse, people from Qingji Continent will come over the mountains."
Baihua murmured.
On her left and right sides, on the city wall as far as the eye could see, there was a person standing at the lookout at regular intervals, and behind her stood several people holding sharp knives.
No one spoke.
The people of Qingji Continent have been building mountains for countless years, and finally the Qingji Mountains could no longer resist and began to collapse.
Ming Zhiyuan stood next to Baihua. Next to him were Yan Guan, the head of the Yan family, Chen Tan, the head of the Chen family, and Hu Yanzhi, the head of the Hu family.
There are more and more falling rocks in the Qingji Mountains, and the flying sand and dust obscure all the scenes of the mountains. There are only rumbling sounds and scattered gravel flying not far from the city wall, making people start to fear that the mountains will collapse.
scene.
Baihua turned around and said to the three family heads beside Ming Zhiyuan: "The war is about to begin. Please protect Master Zhiyuan."
Yan Guan nodded slightly and said nothing.
The head of the Hu family and Chen Tan solemnly nodded and said: "General Baihua, don't worry, we will definitely protect the alchemist."
Baihua looked at Ming Zhiyuan again, and saw that there was smile, tenderness, and determination in his eyes, and he nodded to her.
There have been loud sounds of falling rocks on the mountain top for three days and three nights. It is coming to an end now, and the dust has not yet fallen. There are sounds of crashing and the sound of someone giving instructions, coming out of the mist-like dust mist.
Yan Guan jumped up to the sentry tower and stared into the distance for a while. The sand and dust were too blurry and he could not see anything. However, there were the sounds of people trampling on the gravel going down the mountain, the sound of sliding down step by step, and the shouts of each other.
, resounding into a sound that filled the sky.
He lightly jumped back to the city wall, "We can rush down in half an hour."
Baihua stretched out her hand to summon the eagle, one person and one eagle flew high into the sky, flying along the defense line of the city wall. A quiet and clear voice echoed above the defense line.
"The first wave of impact is coming soon. All the warriors from Emperor Wu and below are preparing cannons, rocks and chariots, hot oil, and arrows. When the enemy is five hundred steps away from the city wall, they will throw cannons and arrows.
Wu Zun and Wu Emperor warriors rushed down the city wall when the enemy rushed to a distance of 300 steps. They tried their best not to let the high-quality warriors of Qingji Continent break through your defense line.
Everyone listen, behind you are your family and friends, civilians without martial arts strength. They support the warriors, and the warriors' responsibility is to protect them."
"The warriors from Qingji Continent attacked Jiuyan Continent just to kill all the warriors, seize resources, and enslave everyone in Jiuyan Continent. As long as you don't want to be strangled to death, and you don't want your descendants to be enslaved, then just
We must fight hard to kill the enemy."
Baihua's voice spread far away, and at the end of the city guarding the city, someone riding a magical beast in the distance repeated her words.
Echoes came from both sides. Baihua and Yingwu fell back to the city wall. She waved her hand back, and Yingwu flew towards the inner city, heading towards the spirit stone veins inside the Chen family's main palace. At this time, it had to seize the time to practice.
, cannot appear in front of the warriors of Qingji Continent.
The falling rocks gradually stopped, and the dust also slowly fell. Only the noisy whistling sound, and the sound of stepping on the falling rocks and rolling down them, gathered into pieces, like the sound of a rushing river, and gradually expanded.
Baihua stood at the entrance of the crenel, leaning slightly, listening intently. Under extreme concentration, her figure was as motionless as a sculpture.
Ming Zhiyuan stood less than ten steps away from her, looking at her sideways, with love in his eyes. This woman who should have been loved by many people was now standing on the city wall where life and death hung on a thin line, listening attentively.
The way he looks, the way he observes the enemy's situation, is very cool.
All the people on the city wall were staring closely at the mountains shrouded in sand and dust. They didn't know where on this long boundary line the people from Qingji Continent would start their attack.
The only option is to arrange the Nine Flame Warriors evenly on each defensive city and city wall according to their location and distance.
In the dust and mist, figures of many people running quickly began to appear.
According to the location mentioned by the surrendered Lin Xuyang, Qingji Continent indeed started its attack from the defensive city in Chen's main state.
As more and more people rushed out of the dust and mist on the other side, there were still people rushing down from the collapsed mountains.
Baihua stared closely at the leading wave of people. The first wave to hit must be high-level warriors, followed by sergeants and low-level warriors.
As the crowd on the other side rushed closer and closer, Baihua raised one hand above her head, and the flagman next to her waved a cyan flag in circles twice.
With the blue flag waving, on the unfinished city wall, the cannon stone cart has been fixed, and huge boulders are loaded into the pockets of the huge double wooden arms. Several warriors vigorously stir the chain strings, standing on each crenel.
The archers, who were holding bows and arrows with their strings fully drawn, flew out with boulders and arrows at the same time, shooting towards the crowd on the opposite side.
The first wave of arrows and boulders disrupted the oncoming crowd, and their running rhythm and speed were interrupted. Many people even stepped back to avoid the arrows and boulders.
Only those at the front were unimpeded and relied on their high-level martial arts strength to deflect arrows with long swords or broadswords in their hands. When encountering boulders, they avoided them with dexterity.
As the green flags on the wall continued to wave, the archers dipped their arrows in burning kerosene and shot them again and again into the rushing crowd.
Huge stones fell from the city wall to the crowd in the distance like rocks falling from the sky.
Seeing that the first wave of high-level warriors rushing over was already close to 300 steps away from the city wall, Baihua commanded the flag soldiers to raise the blue flag.
All the Nine Flame Continent Martial Lords and Martial Emperors on the city wall jumped off the city wall one after another and found their opponents to fight, and a big battle began.
At this time, the three family heads beside Ming Zhiyuan did not follow the others out of the city to fight the enemy, but still stayed by his side.
Baihua ordered a Chen family warrior beside her to ride a land-walking magic beast and go to other defenders to inquire about the situation.
The warriors of Qingji Continent are very powerful. Although the warriors of Jiuyan Continent have blocked them a hundred meters away from the city wall in advance, more and more people are attacking from behind, and the scope of the battle gradually begins to move towards the rear city wall.
The catapults and arrows could only be thrown at enemies further away, while the mainland warriors on both sides nearby were already fighting together.
Baihua looked at the situation below with a keen eye, and then watched more and more Qingji warriors and soldiers running towards them in the distance.
The warriors and sergeants running behind them passed over the fighting group of high-level warriors and rushed directly to the city wall.
The flag on the city guard turned black again, and the black flag waved.
The Nine Flame warriors and sergeants on the city wall began to point their spears and swords at the top of the wall, and some sergeants poured scalding hot oil down the city wall.
The warriors and soldiers who rushed to the city wall and were preparing to climb were screamed by the scalding hot oil. Some people were directly poured on the head by the hot oil, and their scalps were peeled off while they were scratching with their hands.
.
Then the extremely smelly gold liquid fell down on the city wall again. In Qingji Continent, one emperor ruled the entire continent. There was no civil strife in the continent, and there were no attacks by monsters. They had never fought such a siege war.
It was nothing more than the high-level warriors who were attacking in front. Before they could reach the city wall, they were entangled by the high-level warriors from Jiuyan Continent and lost the opportunity to lead the attack on the city.
The low-level warriors and soldiers who rushed behind them first withstood a wave of arrows and boulders, and then when they got under the city wall, they were burned by hot oil until they howled like ghosts.
The city wall was covered with hot and slippery hot oil, which made it very difficult for them to climb the city wall. Then another wave of hot and extremely smelly golden juice poured down, and the entire city wall was covered with hot oil and
The warrior sergeant burned with gold juice.
The Qingji warriors who were still fighting with the Jiuyan warriors in the distance were secretly shocked when they saw the situation on the city wall. Is the city defense of the Jiuyan Continent so sharp?
At this time, another wave of people rushed out from the foot of the mountain range and rushed towards this side.
Baihua looked intently and saw hundreds of Qingji warriors wearing the same clothes surrounding a tall man in white robes in the middle and rushing toward the fighting Jiuyan Continent warriors.
Baihua was shocked. This was probably the Qingji Emperor of the Qingji Continent.
She quickly turned to Yan Guan and said, "Please ask Master Yan to lead the Yan family's high-level warriors to provide support."
Yan Guan took a deep breath, nodded, waved his big hand back, and more than thirty warriors of the Yan clan followed him and jumped off the city wall, and also rushed towards the melee group.
As more and more warriors and soldiers from the Qingji Continent gathered under the city wall, people were building ladders and rushing through the wall everywhere.
Hot oil and gold liquid were poured continuously on the wall, and the entire defense line was filled with a steaming and strange smell.
At this time, the people sent by Baihua to investigate other news about the city came back.
Qingji Continent is attacking the Chen family’s main state and the two neighboring family main states this time.
Baihua immediately ordered people to go and notify other main states that were not attacked to immediately send reinforcements to Chen's main state.
Within the city wall, countless land-based magical beasts carried people on their backs and began to fly along the city wall to both sides.
Seeing Yan Guan in the distance leading the warriors of the Yan clan into the battle group, Baihua knew that Yan Guan and the others could not resist for long. She did not expect Qing Emperor to appear on the battlefield so early.
According to the information given by Palace Master Qinglan, Palace Master Qinglan should have come first, and then pretended that he could not attack the city wall, and then Emperor Qing would send people from other palaces to help in the battle.
People from Qinglan Mansion will take advantage of the chaos to kill some warriors from other mansions to create chaos.
Finally, the Qing Emperor personally led people into the battlefield, bringing the power of the emperor to boost morale and rectify the battlefield.
Now, the Master of Qinglan Palace has not arrived yet, but Qing Emperor came first...
Baihua was extremely anxious. The arrival of the Qing Emperor meant that the peak-level Hidden Martial Lord beside him had also arrived.
She turned back to the Hu family head again and said, "Please ask the Hu family head to bring the Hu family warriors to support the Yan family head and others."
Hu Yanzhi did not hesitate and turned around and shouted, "Come on me."
He jumped off the city wall first, slashing continuously with the long knife in his hand, and led the Hu warriors behind him to rush towards Yanguan.
Ming Zhiyuan looked back at the guarding city and saw that there were not many high-level warriors left.
They were on guard against the Master of the Qinglan Mansion, not knowing whether it was true that the Qingji Continent would collapse the mountains from here, so they did not arrange for most of the martial arts families to come over.
Now it seems that the master of Qinglan Palace did not tell lies, but their warriors began to be unable to resist the Qingji Emperor personally leading his men to attack.
As the high-level warrior's battle group gradually moved back, Baihua once again sent out all the remaining high-level warriors in the city to support Yan Guan and the others.
At this time, only the head of the Chen family and a few martial emperors were defending the city. The others were warriors and sergeants of the third, fourth, or even fifth and sixth grades.
The warriors sent out finally stopped the retreat of the high-level warrior group, but they saw more and more people in the group.
Baihua knew that this wouldn't stop him for too long.
By this time, the master of Qinglan Palace had not yet appeared.
Time passes slowly, and it has been two or three hours since this battle began.
Ming Zhiyuan kept estimating the time. If the master of Qinglan Palace did not show up in half an hour, he would have no choice but to send the monsters to the battlefield.
Inside the guarded city, under the distant city wall, groups of magical beasts came running, each carrying two or three warriors on its back.
Looking at the warriors coming to help from both sides, Baihua did not feel relaxed, but became more anxious. She only felt that now it was the first attack force of a big palace in Qingji Continent, and with a Qing Emperor leading people to join the battlefield, they would almost destroy the entire Jiuyan.
Only the warriors from the mainland were sent forward to barely stop the attack.
Next, there are the other twelve palaces in Qingji Continent, so what should Jiuyan Continent use to resist them?
Ming Zhiyuan looked at her face and knew the worry in her heart. He held her hand and said, "Don't be too anxious. We have monsters and pills. The injured warriors will recover soon and join the battlefield again. Qingji
There is no such thing in the mainland. As long as our warriors don’t die, they can stand up and fight again. Calculated, the real strength gap is between the three peak martial masters.”
Baihua nodded silently, her small white hands greedily cupped into Ming Zhiyuan's big hand and then pulled out.
At this moment, a group of warriors rushed out from the other side of the mountain range again.
Baihua and Ming Zhiyuan looked quickly and saw a group of warriors wearing black robes. The few people running ahead could already see a golden knife embroidered on the chest of their black robes.
"The people from Qinglan Mansion are here."
Ming Zhiyuan lowered his voice with some excitement.
Baihua nodded and asked the warriors who came to support to help defend the city on the city wall to resist the Qingji warrior sergeants below who were constantly climbing the wall to attack.
I saw a group of people from the Qinglan Mansion in the distance also rushing into the battle group of high-level warriors. After a while, the entire battle group began to move back, moving towards the city wall behind.
Ming Zhiyuan tightly grasped the stone at the crenellation of the city wall with one hand and stared closely at the situation in the battle group.
As the battle group got closer and closer to the city wall, they could clearly see the fighting situation in the battle group.
After Qinglan Mansion brought people to join the battle group, Yan Guan and the others began to be unable to resist. The Qingji Emperor was dressed in white and was very conspicuous in the battle group.
He saw Yan Guan, the head of the Hu family, and three or four martial masters surrounding him, fighting each other, and he was in danger from time to time, and kept retreating.
The master of Qinglan Palace is a tall and muscular man, and he is also fighting with a Nine Flames Martial Lord at this time.
Baihua's eyes searched everywhere in the battle group, which one was the hidden peak of Martial Master?
Ming Zhiyuan looked for a long time and saw an old man wearing a blue shorts suit, with white hair and an unusually strong figure.
The old man had been not far away from the Qingji Emperor, and he was also fighting with a Martial Lord. Although he could suppress the Nine Flames Martial Lord, he could not completely defeat him.
Baihua looked at the old man, and then at the distance between Palace Master Qinglan and him. Why didn't Palace Master Qinglan approach the old man or Qing Emperor quickly?
Below the city wall, more and more warriors and soldiers from Qingji Continent were accumulating, and finally some people began to attack the city wall.
Ming Zhiyuan held a long sword and kept stabbing down the soldiers Qingji who had their heads exposed on the city wall.
Baihua took a spear and kept stabbing it downwards. Countless Qingji warrior soldiers were stabbed in the chest or on the top of their heads by her spear, and fell directly.
Seeing that the battle group was about to move under the city wall, Lord Qinglan kept moving around while fighting with the Nine Flames Martial Lord, and reached a distance not far from the Qing Emperor.
Baihua then asked the warriors who came to help to go down and support Yan Guan and the others.
"Remember, when you go, you mainly attack Qing Emperor. If Lord Qinglan comes to attack you, make way for him to join Qing Emperor."
The supporting warriors who came from other city defenders confirmed on the city wall who was the Lord of Qinglan Palace, who was the Qing Emperor, and who was the Peak Hidden Martial Lord, and then they all jumped off the city wall and joined the battle group.
As these Nine Flame warriors rushed towards Qing Emperor, Palace Master Qinglan suddenly shouted, "I'm here to help you."
Following his shout, the warriors from the Qinglan Mansion also rushed forward, putting the warriors brought by the Qing Emperor behind them. The Lord of the Qinglan Mansion took the opportunity to rush to the Qing Emperor's side, pretending to help the Qing Emperor to relieve the siege.
He slapped Yanguan's chest with a palm.
Qing Emperor's expression did not change, he took a step back slightly, and unexpectedly stopped attacking the Nine Flames Warrior. He held a dagger in each hand and stabbed into the Qing Lan Palace Master's ribs.
Palace Master Qinglan was already on guard against him, but when he felt something was wrong behind him, he immediately took a step forward and slapped Yan Guan back with both hands.
But it was still a little too late. Qing Emperor stepped slightly, took a few steps forward, and thrust his swords into the back of Master Qinglan again.
This hit hit him, and he quickly drew out his dagger. The master of Qinglan Palace had already turned around, with an angry look on his face, and shouted: "Why did Emperor Qing kill me?"
Immediately, a big sword was drawn out from his waist, and the two of them started fighting on their own, ignoring the surrounding Nine Flame warriors.
The Qing Emperor remained silent and blocked with both swords. At this time, the white-haired old man Mou Kui also broke through the obstruction of the Qing Lan Palace warriors and stood beside the Qing Emperor to join forces to deal with the Qing Lan Palace Master.
"Brothers, Emperor Qing wants to kill me, so let's rebel."
Following the roar of the Lord of Qinglan Palace, the warriors of Qinglan Palace immediately rebelled and attacked the warriors of Qingyun Palace and the warriors brought by Qing Emperor together with the warriors of Jiuyan Continent.
Baihua and Ming Zhiyuan stood on the wall and looked down. They looked at each other with great surprise in their hearts. How could this happen?
The master of Qinglan Palace was hit by two swords on his back and was seriously injured. Although he swung the sword with great force, he felt that his aura began to become disordered.
During the chaos, he looked back at the city wall behind him and saw a young man and a woman in military uniform standing on the city wall looking at him.
Ming Zhiyuan and Baihua never expected that the master of Qinglan Palace would be injured first, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
"Send more people to help Lord Qinglan." Ming Zhiyuan said to Baihua without any doubt.
Baihua was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sent out the warriors from the Chen family.
Seeing someone coming from behind to join the battle group and attack Qing Emperor, Chen Tan was the first to rush to the master of Qinglan Palace, handed him a pill, and said in a low voice: "Take it if you don't want to die, it will heal your injuries."
of."
Palace Master Qinglan took advantage of the warriors around him to block the offensive of Emperor Qing and Mou Kui, took the elixir, thought for a moment, raised his head and drank the elixir.
As soon as the elixir entered his abdomen, he felt that the chaotic breath in his Dantian became much smoother, the wound on his back no longer spurted blood, and the bleeding began to slowly stop.
The Lord of Qinglan Palace was desperate at this time. The injury was too serious. Even if he killed Qing Emperor here, he might not be able to survive for long.
Taking advantage of the effect of the elixir, the sword in his hand began to dance wildly again.
The warriors of Qinglan Mansion have now completely stood together with the warriors of Jiuyan Continent.
The chaos of this high-level warrior group caused confusion among the siege soldiers under the city wall. Their own people in the rear were killing their own people. They didn't know what to do for a while.
In the chaos, Qingdi's voice rang like a bell, and his voice could be heard throughout the battlefield.
"The Qinglan Mansion has betrayed the Qingji Continent. Please pass my order to all the Qingji Continental mansions behind us to quickly kill the rebels and continue the siege."
Suddenly, where the dust and mist in the mountains behind had not dissipated, another wave of people rushed out, and more and more people rushed towards them from the dust and mist.
Baihua's expression changed greatly, and she hurriedly ordered people to notify all other family warriors guarding the city to come to support.
"It seems that this time, victory or defeat will be decided in one battle."
Ming Zhiyuan looked at the battlefield below and continued: "This is not the battle we used to fight against Warcraft, which could last for several months, or even one or two years. A war between two continents, as long as all the warriors participate in the war, it will be decided in one battle.
Win or lose.”
After Ming Zhiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the city wall, patted a bloodthirsty tiger guarding under the wall, and said, "Go and call out all the pretty boys."
The bloodthirsty tiger nodded, turned around and ran away.
Back on the city wall, Baihua looked pale, looked at Ming Zhiyuan, and said in a dejected tone: "I didn't expect it, it was my commander who made a mistake..."
"No, you are not wrong. This is a battle of strength in itself. All the planning can do is to make us more prepared. At least now Qinglan Mansion cannot return to Qingji Continent, and the opponent's strength is much weaker than before.
"
Ming Zhiyuan hugged Baihua, and after letting go, he looked at her and said seriously: "You have done a good job. The disparity in strength between the two continents is so huge. We have still defended the city wall. Next, we have to fight hard."
In the defense of the city, groups of magical beasts kept flying out of the main palace of the Chen family, and twenty or thirty land-based magical beasts also ran towards the city wall.
The handsome boy and Feng Wu were the first to come to the city wall. Ming Zhiyuan jumped on the handsome boy's back, swung his long sword forward, and shouted loudly: "Guard Jiu Yan, kill..."
The monsters in the rear also ran up the city wall and jumped out of the city, roaring and chirping towards the battlefield.
Baihua whistled, and Yingwu flew to her side. Baihua jumped on its back and pulled out a long sword in his hand. The flagman raised a red flag high in the air and waved it continuously without stopping.
The land-based monsters were fighting with Sergeant Qingji under the city wall, while the flying monsters flew towards the high-level warrior group ahead.
Nine-flame warriors kept jumping on the backs of flying monsters, and some directly let the monsters grab their bodies and attacked Qingji warriors from the air.
The arrival of the flying monsters completely disrupted the war group, and Qing Emperor was shocked. He did not expect that the Jiuyan Continent still had bloodthirsty monsters that had been extinct in the Qingji Continent for a long time.
The Lord of Qinglan Palace was already a little desperate, and he was still thinking in his heart that he might not be able to hold on for much longer. If he continued to waste it, everyone in Qinglan Palace would die here. Should he surrender to Emperor Qing?
As long as he can preserve his own bloodline, it will be fine. As long as Qingdi promises not to implicate his bloodline, he can kill himself in front of Qingdi.
At this time, when he saw the monsters from Jiuyan Continent coming out, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
Seeing the surrounding Nine Flame warriors, with the cooperation of the magical beasts, they were constantly killing Qing Emperor and the people of Qingyun Mansion.
Ming Zhiyuan saw the collapse of the mountains from high in the sky, and there were people pouring into the battlefield in a steady stream.
He flew above the head of Palace Master Qinglan and shouted down: "Master Qinglan, come up."
The master of Qinglan Palace jumped into the air, and the handsome boy dived, grabbed him with two front paws, and flew high again quickly.
When Palace Master Qinglan climbed onto the handsome boy's back, Ming Zhiyuan hugged him and said, "Ming Zhiyuan, I have met Palace Master Qinglan. You are injured. I am an alchemist who can heal your injuries."
Palace Master Qinglan looked at Ming Zhiyuan in shock and suspicion, then at the battlefield below, and tore his robe in half, revealing two deep wounds on his back.
Ming Zhiyuan crushed an elixir and applied it to his wound, then bandaged the wound with his robe.
"Master Qinglan, the Qing Emperor has summoned all the thirteen palaces for this battle. I am afraid it will be a fight to the death. If you take this pill, you may bet on whether you can prove it in the battle with the Qing Emperor."
road."
Palace Master Qinglan looked at Ming Zhiyuan, then at the black elixir with glittering gold patterns, and finally asked: "There are still alchemists in Jiuyan Continent? What level of alchemy master are you?"
"I'm in the lower realm of Alchemy Emperor."
"Hiss." Master Qinglan gasped, "Alchemy Emperor?"
Qingji Continent also has alchemy, but it is similar to Jiuyan Continent. They are all alchemy that has been discontinued. A fifth-level alchemist is the highest-level alchemy master on Qingji Continent.
Suddenly knowing that Ming Zhiyuan's alchemy realm was Alchemy Emperor, he was astonished beyond words.
"Why, Master Qinglan doesn't believe it? At this critical moment, if Master Qinglan doesn't believe me, then that's all."
Ming Zhiyuan took back the hand holding the elixir and was about to put it into his arms, but the master of Qinglan Palace stopped him and took the elixir, "You can attain enlightenment by taking this elixir."
"There is no guarantee, but it is possible to achieve enlightenment. This elixir can temporarily increase the aura in your Dantian, which is equivalent to improving your strength. If you want to achieve enlightenment, it depends on whether you can increase your strength to
Various levels, Qing Emperor is a stepping stone for you to improve your aura strength, Lord Qinglan can give it a try."
