Chapter 71 You don't seem to be very good as a king [5000,
The attack of the weapon spirit is fast and fierce. The key weapon spirit's attack is triggered by Haoran's righteousness.
Haoran's righteousness naturally suppresses the demon clan.
This was a blow comparable to that of a fourth-grade peak Confucian cultivator. Even the third-grade demon clan behind him did not dare to face it head-on.
If you get hurt here, not only may you not be able to leave, but Yu Bai may not be able to leave either.
After some thought, the third-level demon cultivator who was protecting Yu Bai chose to avoid the edge of the sword energy.
And just such a small time difference caused Ning Chen to directly cut off Yu Bai's hope of becoming a father in the future.
After reaching the third level of the demon clan, you can still lose your limbs and regenerate them.
But that also depends on the situation.
For example, Ning Chen is like this now, directly borrowing a little of the power of the little fat dragon from the mythical beast.
With such a wound, unless Yu Bai can awaken a stronger divine beast bloodline.
Otherwise, the rebirth of a third-grade broken limb would be nothing more than a dream.
As for activating a stronger divine beast bloodline, it is even more impossible.
The little fat dragon is a divine beast raised by nature, even if the divine beast bloodline in Yu Bai's body is fully stimulated.
It can only be said that Yu Bai's future achievements can reach the level of a mythical beast.
But in terms of bloodline, there is still a long way to go with the real divine beast.
So in this life, Yu Bai can only give up his desire to be a father.
On the other hand, if you become a mother instead, there shouldn't be too many obstacles.
"ah!"
Yu Bai let out a shrill scream, his eyes protruding and covered with scarlet bloodshot eyes.
Yu Bai, the third-level Taoist demon who avoided Ning Chen's attack, appeared next to Yu Bai in a flash.
After checking Yu Bai's injuries, this third-level demon immediately attacked Ning Chen.
Faced with the attack of this third-grade demon, Ning Chen did not dare to greet him.
Although the little fat dragon can provide pressure from the mythical beast, this pressure is not unlimited.
After all, the little fat dragon is still a little too weak now.
With Ning Chen's current strength, being able to suppress a demon cultivator who has just entered the third level may be the limit.
The one who protects Yu Bai is not an ordinary third-grade cultivator.
If he picks it up head on, Ning Chen will suffer a loss.
With the energy all over his body surging, Ning Chen's body quickly moved backwards.
However, the attack of the third-grade demon followed him like a shadow and also accelerated.
He must make Ning Chen pay for this blow.
"when!"
Just when Ning Chen accelerated his retreat again, Ning Chen's eyes blurred.
Yun Xuanzi appeared directly in front of Ning Chen.
As he raised his hand, a brass shield quickly enlarged.
Directly blocking the full blow of this angry, third-grade demon.
"Taoist Master, you shouldn't be thrown away by him because of your strength. I seriously suspect that you are doing it on purpose. You are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against me and charge you for opening the Holy Path." Ning Chen said to Yun Xuanzi.
Now that Yun Xuanzi is here, Ning Chen has nothing to fear.
Yun Xuanzi is at the pinnacle of the third level and can step into the second level at any time.
They are all masters in this world.
What's more, Taoist methods suppress the demon clan even more.
With such a great master here, Ning Chen has no reason to be afraid.
When Yun Xuanzi heard Ning Chen's words, his face suddenly darkened.
Ning Chen definitely didn't blame him for what he said, it was just another attempt to rip him off.
Seeing Ning Chen staring at the brass shield he took out, Yun Xuanzi stopped talking nonsense to Ning Chen: "Three classics, this one is for you."
"make a deal!"
Ning Chen was also very happy.
This brass shield looks like a treasure at first glance.
A third-level demon cultivator can block attacks at will.
Moreover, this shield can be large or small, and it takes up no space at all when placed on the body.
It is definitely a must-have magic weapon for home travel.
After taking advantage of Yun Xuanzi, Ning Chen looked at Yu Bai, who had stopped bleeding, and said, "I'd say, you, the king, don't look like that much."
After saying that, Ning Chen immediately realized something and changed his words: "Oh, no. I can't call you little king anymore, I have to call you little princess."
"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"
"puff!"
As Yu Bai roared angrily, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The next moment, the whole person fainted.
This is obviously a sign of anger.
Faced with this situation, Yu Bai really couldn't help but get angry.
Ning Chen's words are really heartbreaking.
Yu Bai now wishes he could be killed by Ning Chen right here, and doesn't want to be humiliated like this.
"Ning Chen, you have insulted our country, Yuyuan Kingdom, so much, and our country, Yuyuan Kingdom, will never let it go.
I, Yuyuan Kingdom, have recorded everything today.
I, the Yuyuan Kingdom, will definitely avenge this!"
"The Taoist Priest is going to run away, so let's leave half of him alone and let's go back and make soup to reward the soldiers!" Upon hearing this, Ning Chen immediately reminded Yun Xuanzi loudly.
Yun Xuanzi didn't need Ning Chen to remind him at all.
Yu Bai, the guardian demon cultivator, has just made some moves.
Yun Xuanzi had already passed with a thunderbolt from his palm.
"Crack!"
The thunder is dazzling.
Faced with the power of this thunder, the old worm had no choice but to abandon a large section of his tail to successfully escape.
Seeing that everyone on the Yuyuan Kingdom's side had withdrawn, Lupo also had to withdraw.
Without the help of Yu Bai and the others, he would not be able to win this battle no matter what.
The two super third-grade players Lupo and Yubai were lost.
The remaining three demon kings are no match for Yun Xuanzi and Fang Xiong.
Fang Xiong struck with two blows, and the last remaining leader of the Huikui Kingdom was smashed into three pieces by Fang Xiong.
Then Fang Xiong directly swept with both maces, and the remaining two kings were directly swept into two parts by Fang Xiong.
The two kings, whose upper bodies were left, wanted to escape.
But Fang Xiong didn't give him a chance at all.
Hit it twice and your head will explode.
The situation on Yun Xuanzi's side was similar, under siege by three Yun Xuanzi.
The remaining two kings of the country turned directly into two balls of black coal.
Even the backbone is gone, the demon soldiers united by the Three Kingdoms, as well as the demon soldiers brought by Lu Po and Yu Bai.
A direct defeat like a mountain.
During this process, Fang Xiong did not take any action to stop the escaping demon soldiers.
These demon soldiers themselves are not of much value. Apart from providing training for the Huwei Army, they are really not worth Fang Xiong's use.
In the end, nearly 20,000 demon soldiers were killed by the combined efforts of the two armies.
About three thousand demon soldiers escaped, and all the remaining demon soldiers were killed.
Such a battle situation is definitely a great victory.
No matter whether they were on the city or below the city, everyone cheered excitedly.
"The city lord is mighty!"
"The city lord is mighty!"
I don’t know who started it, but everyone started shouting.
"This feeling is really a bit refreshing." Ning Chen felt it silently in his heart and said softly to himself.
“This great victory is not due to me alone.
This is the joint contribution of all of us. Anyone who participates in the war today will receive half a year's salary as a reward.
Next, we need to work together to protect our own home.
I, the city lord, have nothing else, but I, the city lord, have no shortage of money.
As long as everyone is willing to put in the effort, the reward will definitely be there."
After a pause, Ning Chen said: "In addition, I will announce two new regulations.
Anyone who is injured on the battlefield and loses the ability to take care of himself will be given military pay by the city lord's government for ten consecutive years as usual.
Anyone with children can be given priority to serve in the city lord's palace and city guards.
For those who died in battle, the city lord's palace was responsible for supporting their parents and providing for their parents until they died.
For those who have children who are underage, the City Lord's Mansion is responsible for raising their children to adulthood. At the same time, they have priority and have the right to enter the City Lord's Mansion, Baijia Academy, and City Guards.
Regarding specific related matters, I will draft a charter with County Magistrate Guo and publish it within three days!"
"The city lord is mighty!"
"The city lord is mighty!"
Gu San
After hearing the two rules announced by Ning Chen, the people in Baijia City cheered again.
Ning Chen glanced at Huweijun, who looked a little lonely, and said: "The above two things I mentioned also apply to Baijia City and the two military towns of Huweijun on the left and right."
"The city lord is mighty!"
"The city lord is mighty!"
Hearing what Ning Chen added later, the Huwei Army in the two military towns also became excited.
"In addition to the lives of all three armies in this battle, General Fang and Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi have provided great assistance.
We would also like to thank Princess Lizhu for personally beating the war drum for our Baijiacheng soldiers!"
When Princess Lizhu heard Ning Chen mentioning herself, she quickly said: "Master, I just did my duty. What's more, Yuyuan Kingdom came here for me, and I just tried my best to do what I should do."
Just some trivial things."
Lizhu denied it on the sidelines, but the soldiers in Baijiacheng didn't care about this.
"Thank you, Mrs. City Lord!"
The soldiers of Baijiacheng shouted loudly to Princess Lizhu.
These words once again made Princess Lizhu blush with embarrassment.
"Ahem, I told you something. Princess Lizhu is not the wife of the city lord. Princess Lizhu is currently just studying in Baijia Academy. You can't scream, it will stain Princess Lizhu's reputation!"
Ning Chen coughed twice and said loudly.
The reason why Ning Chen brought this up was to explain this matter.
If someone misunderstands this kind of thing, you will never suffer a loss.
But Princess Lizhu was still a girl who had not yet left the palace, so word spread about this.
If she really likes someone in the future, it might be difficult for her to marry him.
"The city lord is right. This unqualified person cannot be called a lady."
"What would you call me if you don't call me madam?"
"The city lord and Princess Lizhu are the most perfect match in terms of their talent and beauty."
"And we should have a name, right?"
"Call the city lord's wife who has not yet passed the door. This does not mean disobeying the city lord."
Among the soldiers guarding the city, one of them was very smart and came up with a good idea.
"Yes, call the city lord's wife who has not yet passed the door."
This proposal was quickly approved by everyone.
Then under their leadership.
All the tone of his voice immediately changed: "Thank you very much, Madam of the City Lord who has not yet passed the door!"
This kind of thing, as long as someone takes the lead, others will follow and shout.
For a moment, the titles of the city lord's wife who had not yet passed through the door were directly connected.
Ning Chen also had a dark look on his face when he heard this.
Princess Lizhu turned around and left immediately.
This is indeed embarrassing enough.
But Ning Chen really means well.
I originally wanted to clarify that Ning Chen would know that these people are so stubborn.
Now that things have become like this, Ning Chen can only wait and explain to Lizhu later.
There are still business matters to be dealt with right now.
"General Fang, I have to trouble you a little bit. You should take people to Huikui Demon Country and other three demon countries now.
Bring back all their supplies.
These are our spoils of war and should be placed in our warehouses."
Fang Xiong nodded and said, "Okay."
After agreeing, Fang Xiong casually ordered hundreds of people and took them directly to clear the inventory for the three demon kingdoms.
"The remaining people will all continue to be on guard. The Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom may counterattack at any time, and no one should relax.
Anyone who delays the war due to laxity will be killed without mercy!"
Give both grace and power.
He had just given me a favor, and now Ning Chen had to show his powerful side.
"Yes! I will obey the city lord's order!"
After all the soldiers returned to their respective positions, Ning Chen also brought his people back to Baijia City.
Today's events have been fully understood, and what will happen in the future is beyond Ning Chen's complete control.
But things will get serious, that's for sure.
Yu Bai was directly transformed into the eunuch Chang Chong by himself, and the five thousand elites he brought with him were directly beaten by him until nothing was left.
If the Yuyuan Demon Kingdom can still tolerate this tone, then the Yuyuan Demon Kingdom will no longer have to establish a foothold in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
As for the Tiger Clan, they still won't let it go.
Ning Chen is not too curious about the war situation in other places in the four northern states.
Those vassal kings and semi-saint families have been fighting against the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom all year round.
We are all very familiar with each other.
It is also difficult for you to completely determine the winner in a short period of time.
Even though a few cities may be lost, it will definitely not have any impact on the overall situation.
Moreover, the human race will definitely send people to snatch the city back immediately.
Over the years, this has been a tug-of-war here in the north.
Everyone has long been used to it.
After returning to the city, Ning Chen also went directly to Baijia Academy.
However, Ning Chen did not see Li Zhu in the academy.
Presumably Lizhu must have considered that Ning Chen would return to Baijia Academy, so she deliberately avoided Ning Chen.
After something like this happened, it was normal for Lizhu to avoid Ning Chen.
Ning Chen didn't think much about this kind of thing, but sent a message to call Guo Xin.
The two of you need to make clear arrangements for all the terms and matters of the pension.
Guo Xin soon arrived at Baijia College.
"Master Guo, do you think there is anything that needs to be added or subtracted from the two items I announced before?" Ning Chen asked Guo Xin.
Guo Xin shook his head and said: "Uncle Champion, the two things you mentioned have far exceeded the standards set by the imperial court.
These two items are enough to appease the morale of the army, enough to make everyone risk their lives on the battlefield.
There really is no need to add anything more.”
"Master Guo, what is Wu Dynasty's pension policy?" Ning Chen really didn't know the situation on Wu Dynasty's side.
Guo Xindao: "The Wu Dynasty stipulated that those who died in battle could receive a one-time pension of thirty taels of silver. Those who were disabled could receive a pension of fifteen taels of silver.
In addition, if there are parents over 60 in the family, you can receive an additional ten taels of pension money.
If there are young children in the family, you can receive an additional ten taels of pension silver.
When young children reach adulthood, they will be given priority in admission regardless of whether they obtain a meritorious degree or join the Wu Dynasty's army.
There is nothing left.”
Ning Chen compared it and found that the conditions he offered were really far beyond what Wu Chao could offer.
Not to mention anything else, as Ning Chen said before, if the military salary is paid for ten consecutive years, it will be about one hundred and fifty taels.
As for the following few conditions, they are also far beyond the conditions that Wu Chao can provide.
According to the conditions of the imperial court, Ning Chen cannot be added anymore.
If we add more, it would be tantamount to undermining Wuzhao.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such good treatment here in Baijiacheng?
"If this is the case, then we will not continue to increase the pension. We will just implement these two items first. You can add some specific identification details. Then you can publish the list."
"Yes." Guo Xin agreed with his hands raised.
Thinking of something else, Ning Chen said: "By the way, regarding the number of defenders, you must also strictly control this.
Judging from the current ratio, for every 10,000 people added to Baijia City, the size of the city defense army can be expanded by 300 people."
After hearing the ratio mentioned by Ning Chen, Guo Xin couldn't help but remind Ning Chen: "Uncle Champion, is this ratio a little smaller? The four states in the north are at war with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom all the year round.
Therefore, for a long time, the ratio of soldiers to civilians has been controlled at 500-600 per 10,000 people, and if war comes, this ratio will expand."
Ning Chen shook his head and said: "Our Baijia City doesn't need to do this, our Baijia City raises elite soldiers.
All the elite soldiers we raise are professional soldiers and must participate in hard work. They only need to undergo daily training every day."
"If this is the case, then there is no problem. After all, the proportion of real elite soldiers in other places is actually lower than ours." Guo Xin nodded and said.
Ning Chen knows very well that real elite soldiers are all trained. You let him work and train at the same time.
And then you want to turn him into an elite soldier, which is not reliable in itself.
The reason why the ratio has always been low before is because there was not enough food to support so many elite soldiers.
But now, because of Min Si's improved agriculture, grain production has increased by about 30% this year.
Now there is sufficient food, which provides a solid material foundation for training elite soldiers.
Coupled with the favorable conditions offered by Ning Chen, Ning Chen is really not afraid that no one will come to Baijia City.
"Does Mr. Guo have anything else to do?" Ning Chen saw Guo Xin standing there and not leaving, so he asked.
Guo Xin asked Ning Chen for instructions: "Uncle Champion, please give me instructions on how to write the battle report we will give to the court this time."
"It's not the first time you've written something like this. Why don't you ask me for instructions? You can just write how you want. You don't need to ask me for instructions on such things in the future."
Guo Xin hesitated for a moment and asked directly: "Uncle Champion, do you think we should include the matter of Yuyuan Demon Kingdom in the battle report to the imperial court?"
When Guo Xin said this, Ning Chen understood what Guo Xin was worried about.
This time Ning Chen took the initiative to confront the Yuyuan Demon Kingdom, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to expand the friction with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
Even though we have won a great victory this time, there will definitely be a greater war in the future, so whether or how to write is very important.
