Qingyuan looked at the calm and normal high priest and instinctively felt that there must be something he had overlooked.
When Qingyuan thought of something, he saw the corpses below and started running wildly.
However, Qingyuan's eyes did not pay attention to those running corpses.
Instead, he turned his attention to the high priest.
At this moment, the whole body of the high priest swelled up.
In just the blink of an eye, the high priest had expanded into a huge meat ball.
At this time, the high priest could no longer recognize his original appearance, and even his voice became distorted and obscure.
A long roar came from the mouth of the high priest.
Following this long roar, the high priest looked at Qingyuan: "You can't stop God's footsteps."
After saying this, the high priest exploded right in front of Ning Chen.
However, with the explosion of the Great Sacrifice, a powerful shock wave forcefully shattered the barrier set up by Qingyuan.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Qingyuan, with his tattered robes and blood on his mouth, reappeared in the sky above the Ring City.
Looking at the Ring City under his feet, which was bombed and almost turned into ruins, Qingyuan understood what he had overlooked.
The high priest never thought that he would leave alive, so at the end of his life, he used forbidden methods and borrowed the power of gods and demons.
With just a trace of such power, the high priest would be unable to survive.
But just a trace of the same power is enough to break through Qingyuan's barrier.
After all, this is the power of gods and demons, the power of a saint.
Even if he is easily the strongest second-level Buddhist, he is still only a second-level one after all.
Without the barrier, the running corpses quickly fled into the forest.
All Qingyuan can do now is to kill as many zombie soldiers who ran out as possible.
This situation occurred because Qingyuan lacked experience in fighting the enemy.
If Zhao Tuo had been the first to arrive, this situation could have been avoided.
But obviously, the high priest chose to stay in the Ring City, which is the farthest place from Zhao Tuo, just to avoid Zhao Tuo from rushing over immediately.
Judging from the final result, their goal was achieved.
When Zhao Tuo arrived, he only saw Qingyuan grabbing the corpse.
"What about the great sacrifice?" Zhao Tuo asked Qingyuan directly.
Qingyuan did not hide it from Zhao Tuo, but told Zhao Tuo the truth.
After listening to Qingyuan's words, Zhao Tuo didn't say anything, but said to Qingyuan: "It's useless to catch them if they run away. It's better to go back and defend the existing city.
Any mutated corpses and people who have been bitten by corpses must be completely eliminated as soon as possible.
Any kind of mercy now will kill more people."
Zhao Tuo dropped some warnings and returned to Moko City.
After returning to Moco City, Zhao Tuo also reported what happened here to Ning Chen.
After listening to Zhao Tuo's report, Ning Chen didn't feel relaxed at all, but instead felt heavier.
The high priest sent by the Zitu Barbarian Emperor is absolutely certain to die.
As long as he takes action, Ning Chen is guaranteed to catch him.
But catching this high priest, or killing this high priest, is not the goal.
What really needs to be done is to stop the corpse soldiers coming from the high priest's sacrifice. This is the biggest threat.
After Zhao Tuo finished talking about the matter, he continued to analyze to Ning Chen: "I think the damage caused by these corpse soldiers in the Western Region may far exceed our imagination.
The emphasis on goodness on this side of the Western Region may cause the corpse soldiers to spread on a large scale.
We may need to prepare for the worst."
Zhao Tuo once told Ning Chen this worst-case scenario.
Zhao Tuo said that the worst result might be the fall of the entire Western Region.
By that time, whether or not his Moko City was defended would no longer make much sense.
Because in the future, the entire Wu Dynasty will face the impact of corpse soldiers.
"General Zhao, why don't you just take the people back, Mo Kecheng and we have given up." After thinking for a while, Ning Chen said to Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "The worst situation is not yet reached. If we retreat now, it will be very detrimental to you, Wu Dynasty and Hezhou.
If someone in the DPRK uses this to attack you, and another coach comes over, things may get worse.
I will continue to stick to Moko City and wait until the situation becomes irreversible before we discuss whether to retreat or not."
Zhao Tuo was right, if he ran away without fighting at this time.
That will definitely satisfy the wishes of those who are targeting you. There really won’t be too many people who turn against you when the time comes.
Ning Chen actually has no objection to replacing himself.
But if it was my place, and if it were someone else who came to the Western Region, it would be the Western Region that would be unlucky, and it would be my own Baijia City.
"Then according to what General Zhao said, General Zhao will continue to guard Moko City and pay attention to the trends in the Western Region at any time.
You must flexibly adjust your own movements to preserve your vitality.
It doesn't matter if you lose the territory you occupied.
In short, General Zhao, you must remember one sentence: if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land; if you save people and lose land, you will gain both people and land.
Don’t worry about the bottles and jars, you can still find them again if they are broken.”
Zhao Tuo smacked Ning Chen's words about losing ground and losing land, and couldn't help but admire it: "Your Majesty is indeed the master of military strategists, and his casual words are the best principles for military strategists."
Ning Chen said relaxedly after hearing Zhao Tuo's words: "If General Zhao can say that, I feel more relieved."
Zhao Tuo said in a relaxed tone: "I have always fought against barbarians in Jingzhou. Compared with actually fighting against barbarians in the Western Regions, I have more experience."
"If General Zhao needs anything else, just ask me. I will do my best to support the general."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Zhao Tuo joked easily: "This is my first time fighting a war with such abundant supplies."
Ning Chen quietly teased: "General Zhao, if you want to jump under my command, you can say so.
I am also a prince now. If you really want to transfer to my command, there will be no obstacles at all.
If you are worried that your prince will stop you, leave all matters to me, and I guarantee that Prince Jing will not make things difficult for you."
Zhao Tuo also joked back: "It's true that you are the prince, but you can't beat our prince Jing."
"It's just something that will happen sooner or later." Ning Chen said directly.
When Zhao Tuo heard Ning Chen say this, he was stunned for a moment.
In Zhao Tuo's mind, Prince Jing was definitely the most powerful person in the Wu Dynasty.
Even the Marquis of Dingguo, in Zhao Tuo's mind, is weaker than Prince Jing, although the two are considered to be on the same level.
But in Zhao Tuo's heart, Marquis Dingguo is still number one.
As for the Marquis of Dingguo, Zhao Tuo felt that the Marquis of Dingguo was not pure enough.
King Jing is the pure god of war.
In Zhao Tuo's mind, Ning Chen's current combat power belongs to the second level.
It is on the same level as Kong Jijiu. Of course, Kong Jijiu is better than Ning Chen.
And it should be much stronger.
But in Zhao Tuo's heart, Ning Chen still belongs to Kong Jijiu's class.
But think about it on the other hand, if you only look at the speed of cultivation, then Ning Chen is absolutely unique.
The existence of this unique group completely pulled Prince Jing and the others away.
The gap between them is much larger than the gap in cultivation.
Therefore, it is not too much for Ning Chen to say something about it sooner or later.
"General Zhao, are you thinking about how you will tell Prince Jing later?" Ning Chen teased casually when Zhao Tuo remained silent for a while.
"As for the champion, I will definitely bring it to Prince Jing exactly as it is." Zhao Tuo jokingly agreed with Ning Chen.
Such a relaxed atmosphere made Ning Chen really feel relieved.
After finishing the conversation with Zhao Tuo, Ning Chen shared the news here with everyone in his high-end group.
Ning Chen doesn't have much experience in dealing with satisfaction.
Ning Chen has never done such things as filling his head.
After Ning Chen finished talking about the situation here, Marquis Dingguo was the first to speak: "Zhao Tuo's analysis is good. The kind-hearted nature of the Western Region may become a breeding ground for corpse soldiers.
Not only Zhao Tuo needs to pay attention to this, we must also take precautions in advance.
If we are satisfied with allowing the high priests under the Corpse Tu Barbarian Emperor to go, I am afraid that the unique situation of the Western Region is also important."
After Marquis Dingguo finished expressing his views, Ning Chen asked Prince Jing: "My lord, what do you think of this matter?"
"Kill all the corpse soldiers."
Prince Jing's advice was straightforward.
Before Ning Chen could object for the first time, Marquis Dingguo had already stood up and objected: "You can't be so reckless. The population of the Western Region is close to 30 million.
Killing them all would bring huge karma, and if they were to be killed, the holy path of Buddhism would inevitably change.
If it triggers the Buddhist holy way to self-destruct, the consequences will be completely unpredictable."
"If the Holy Way of Buddhism really self-destructs, then the Western Region will be completely wiped out." King Jing said domineeringly.
Ning Chen complained in his heart, feeling that Prince Jing Mangan was really a good player.
But think about it, King Jing was facing barbarians in Jingzhou.
The relationship between the human race and the barbarian race is originally about you and me, me and you.
There are only two options: kill all and kill all.
Prince Jing really doesn't need to use his brain too much, he just needs to kill him all the way.
The same is true for the barbarians against the humans, they just need to kill them all the way.
Whoever kills the other side first, then the war will be over.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty, is this method of infection of the Zitu Barbarians completely irreversible?" Ning Chen suddenly asked Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
In fact, Ning Chen has been thinking about this issue for a long time.
"Theoretically it is reversible, but in practice it is irreversible."
Marquis Dingguo's words confused Ning Chen.
What is theoretically reversible, but actually irreversible.
"This method of spreading corpse soldiers by the Corpse Tuman tribe can actually be regarded as an epidemic.
But this kind of epidemic cannot be treated by ordinary means.
Because it comes from gods and demons, it must be treated with the equivalent of the holy way.
But the holy paths that are known now are only able to resolve the attributes of gods and demons in the epidemic.
It has no effect on the epidemic itself.
On the other hand, if the epidemic is treated first, the properties of the gods and demons themselves cannot be solved."
After hearing what Marquis Dingguo said, the first reaction in Ning Chen's mind was: medical knowledge.
If you open up your own medical path, then this problem can be perfectly solved.
"Wuzhao, I need medical books, a lot of medical books." Ning Chen said to Wu Zhao.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Zhao reacted instantly and asked, "Are you planning to start a medical practice?"
Ning Chen didn't say anything: "I plan to give it a try. According to what the Marquis said, at present, it seems that only medical science can perfectly solve this problem."
"Do you also know medical skills?" Now it was Marquis Dingguo's turn to be surprised.
Ning Chen has indeed shown a lot of abilities, but his medical skills are something Ning Chen has never shown before.
Ning Chen shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know much about medical skills, but how to open up the holy path is something I'm quite good at.
That’s why I need a lot of medical books to help me practice medicine.”
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wu Zhao immediately understood Ning Chen's intention.
Ning Chen planned to open up a blank holy path first and let the medical books fill it in.
Of course this is Wu Zhao's guess.
In fact, Ning Chen's request for medical books was not to open up a blank path to the holy path first and then fill in the medical books.
You must know that there are many medical books that Ning Chen can exchange for, good ones, not so good ones, ones that treat difficult and complicated diseases, and those that treat common diseases.
All kinds of medical books can be exchanged for Ning Chen if he wants.
But one thing Ning Chen needs to consider is that in this world, due to differences in body structure.
So many diseases are not the same.
Some medical books in this world are specifically aimed at diseases in this world.
Ning Chen thought that after opening up the medical path, he would directly incorporate all the medical books in this world into the holy path.
In this way, the doctors of the Wu Dynasty did not need to re-learn the medical books of the medical path they developed.
The medical books they are learning now can be used directly.
Otherwise, the time spent going back and forth might be enough to turn the entire Western Region into a dead zone.
"I will order people to send you all the medical books in the royal medical clinic now." Wu Zhao made a decision immediately.
"good."
The collection of books in the Imperial Medical Center may not be the most comprehensive, but most of them should be in it.
Ning Chen had made a decision, but Ning Chen still underestimated the speed at which the Corpse Soldiers would split up in the Western Region.
Although there were only a few thousand corpse soldiers, it only lasted one night.
The number of these corpse soldiers already numbered tens of thousands.
If the division continues at this rate, it will really only be a matter of time before the entire Western Region turns into a dead zone.
After Liao Jingyuan brought back Zhao Tuo's warning from Qingyuan, he directly issued an order to close the city.
He does not need to communicate with Xu Muzhi on this point.
Locking down the city is now the only option.
But at this moment, Zhao Tuo, who had sealed off Mo Kecheng, was facing his biggest test.
Corpse soldiers gathered from all directions and now surrounded the entire Mokocheng.
And the number is still increasing, and there is still a steady stream of corpse soldiers coming.
