Text Chapter 644: Obedience
Lanshi County, a remote county town in Tongtianxing Province, has lost a large number of people after the demons have occupied it for many years. Today's Lanshi County is no different from a piece of wasteland. It is full of desolation, and houses that have been soaked by rain and collapsed in disrepair Appearing on the plain, among the wreckage of the broken wall, several badgers ran happily around.
Lanshi County originally had a population of nearly 50,000, but after five years of war, it would be nice to have a population of 5,000.
Walking along the way, Min Yulin only saw the spreading bleakness and silence. Lanshi County has become a dead city, and the remaining civilians have either been reduced to mercenaries and bandits, or have entered the depths of the mountains and become hunters. Desolate, under the rule of the Mozu, Tongtian Province's economy is dying.
In the distance, a few vultures were circling in the air, and on the ground was a starving person, and a strong rotten smell could be smelled from a distance. It seemed to be a beggar, but Lanshi County was deserted and there were no people there. Give him food, and he can only starve to death in the wilderness.
"well……"
With sadness in his eyes, Min Yulin raised his hand and said, "Zhan'er, take people there to drive away the evil birds, and bury that corpse!"
"Yes, father!" Min Zhan rode away.
Sadness flashed across Xu Ying's face, and he said: "You don't have to be too sentimental. Now that the empire has destroyed the Yihe Kingdom, the magic crystal cannon is super powerful. I believe that it will be a matter of time before we regain the lost land and rebuild it." That’s all for Tongtian Province.”
"is that useful?"
Min Yulin let out a long sigh, looked up to the sky and said, "Thinking of the 100,000 soldiers of my mighty army, I was besieged by the demons in Winter Frost City just because I underestimated the enemy. One end, this whole province of Tongtian Province is full of hunger and starvation for hundreds of miles, all of which are caused by me, Min Yulin alone..."
"Your Majesty..." Xu Ying choked with sobs, and said, "The demons descended from heaven to Tongtian Gorge. None of us know that the empire has a history of less than 10,000 years, but the demons have been dormant in Tongtian Gorge for tens of thousands of years. This is definitely not the fault of the prince, and I hope the prince can take it lightly, since His Royal Highness King Qin is willing to rescue us, it means that His Highness did not blame us."
"But……"
Min Yulin looked at Min Zhanyuan's back, and said: "But the old general and Zhan'er led the army to attack Tianshu Province and seized many states and counties in a row. Will the empire really forgive us traitors?"
Xu Ying took a deep breath and said, "In order to survive, we have no choice. What can we do if the demons hold our backs with sharp knives? Besides, the major general and I raided the province of Tianshu, although We conquered the city, but did not kill those soldiers, all the conquered cities were almost completely taken back by His Highness Qin Yan, we have done our best."
"Don't forget, old general, as soon as you pass by, the demon army will step into the province of Tianshu. There are millions of people in the empire who died under their butcher's knives. These millions of people... It was our fault."
"I know." Xu Ying murmured: "If His Royal Highness King Qin blames us, the subordinates are willing to bear all the responsibility. Whether it is beheaded or punished, it all depends on His Royal Highness Yu's decision."
At this moment, a voice came from the sky: "Who wants to send you off?"
Xu Ying and Min Yulin were overjoyed, looked up at Lin Muyu flying above their heads together, clasped their fists together and said, "See Your Highness, my subordinates!"
"There's no need to be formal."
With his hands behind his back, Lin Muyu moved his body in the air, and said, "Nearly three hundred miles to the south is the territory of Lingdong Province, Weihou, I have something to discuss with you."
Min Yulin said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness Yu please expressly express it."
"I want you to rebuild the Yangwei Legion. I will give you equipment, horses, food, etc. The front line in Lingdong province is too long, and I need you to help me hold a certain line of defense."
Min Yulin's heart moved, with mixed feelings, he said: "His Royal Highness Yu still reuses me, Min Yulin, regardless of the previous suspicions, and the minister must die!"
"You are Welcome."
Lin Muyu raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I am now the King of Qin, one of the three kings, and I have the right to be canonized. Now I will restore your title of Weihou. After returning to Winter Frost City, I will recast the Tiger Talisman and the Commander Seal for you."
"Thank you Your Highness!"
"Speed up the march!" Lin Muyu looked at the yellow sand in the distance, and said: "The demons will definitely not let it go, let's bypass Tongtian City, and don't confront the demon army in Tongtian Province. Now you must It will not be the opponent of the Demon Race."
"Yes, I see."
At this moment, the sound of a bird flapping its wings suddenly came from the air. It was a psychic letter bird, chirping at Lin Muyu. Lin Muyu smiled happily and stretched out his hand, and the letter bird landed briskly in the palm of his hand. The letterhead was taken off, it was Wei Qiu's feather letter, about asking Lin Muyu about the success or failure of the operation.
Arriving just in time, Lin Muyu took out a pen from his Qiankun bag, and wrote a line on the letterhead: I found Min Yulin of the Yangwei Legion in Tongtianxia, and he will bring more than 10,000 advance troops to the empire. But for fear that the demons will not let go of the troops, please Duke Wei immediately order troops to be dispatched from the steel wall and set up magic crystal cannons at the mouth of the Luo River to meet us.
Lin Muyu released the letter bird, which also means that another confrontation between the demons and the empire is coming, and this time, the Long Danying is in charge!
...
Most of the advance troops were infantry, and it would take at least three days to travel three hundred miles, and they traveled all the way in a hurry.
The next day, most of the soldiers' feet were already blistered, and there were many complaints on the road. There were soldiers sitting in the wilderness to rest their feet along the way, but this also meant that they were about to fall behind, and the only result of falling behind was death. Will let the rebels go.
"stand up!"
Min Zhan held his long sword and shouted along the road: "Get up and keep up with the team. The demon chasers have already left Tongtian City. Do you want to die under the sharp teeth of the armored demon?"
A veteran about fifty years old complained endlessly: "Major General, my leg is about to break, look... my straw sandals are completely worn out, and now the soles of my feet are almost turning into a pile of rotten flesh... "
Min Zhan frowned, looked at Lin Muyu: "His Royal Highness, what should we do?"
Lin Muyu took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to the veteran, saying: "Take the money and find your own way of life, you are not fit to stay in the army."
The old soldier was stunned, and suddenly got up and knelt on the ground: "His Royal Highness, I... I can't leave the army, what else can I do if I don't serve as a soldier, please don't drive me away, Your Highness Yu... I beg you..."
He kowtowed repeatedly.
Lin Muyu was frowning. The lack of horses and chariots was the fatal injury of the advance army. At least a thousand people had been left behind along the way. It would be considered good if half of them reached the mouth of the Luohe River.
At this time, a beautiful figure walked over leading the horse. It was Ouyang Yan. She had recovered a lot of energy, handed the reins to the veteran, and said: "You ride the horse, I don't need the mount anymore."
"Huh?" The old soldier was stunned.
Min Yulin at the side said respectfully: "Shenwang Huowuwu, has your body recovered yet?"
"Well, at least half of it has recovered."
Ouyang Yan slowly recalled her divine power, and suddenly tiny flames lingered around her body, and she flew up slowly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Muyu in the air, and said with a smile: "Although I have lost my godhead, I am still a god after all. So don't worry, I can fly and don't need a mount."
"That's good, why don't you thank Lord Fire Dance God?" Min Yulin said.
The old soldier kowtowed again and again, while Ouyang Yan smiled sweetly and didn't say anything, but flew to the front of the queue with Lin Muyu. More than half of the confidence in this army's ability to deal with the demons in the desert came from these two men. god.
...
Tongtian Province is adjacent to the East China Sea. After the invasion of the cold current from the north, more than one-third of the land has been turned into Gobi and desert. The advance army has been marching in the desert all day. The scorching wind in August blows on the face like The fire was burning, and the soldiers on the ground complained endlessly, but the dust flew up in the distance, it was the pursuers of the demons.
"If you don't want to die, march faster!" The officers in the queue yelled loudly, but it still couldn't stop people from falling behind.
Lin Muyu frowned and remained silent.
Ouyang Yan flew side by side, and smiled faintly: "How do you plan to go in the future?"
"Destroy the demons." Lin Muyu said.
"Destroy the demons?" Ouyang Yan said with a chuckle: "I'm afraid it's not as easy as imagined. Do you know that the saint has the ability to maintain the power of the heavens? Moreover, the saint was originally the fallen god of the northern heaven. It has been going on for many years, and waste gods who have been robbed of their godheads continue to appear. Once they fall into the Three Realms, I am afraid that the Broken Cauldron Realm will be even more chaotic. Moreover, if the Northern Heaven Realm sends the true gods from the lower realm to assist the demons, I am afraid that the empire will be even more difficult. .”
"You don't need to teach me."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly, turned to look at Ouyang Yan, and said, "I saved your life, you will be mine from now on, right?"
"yes."
Ouyang Yan stretched her body, showing her plump and straight peaks intentionally or unintentionally. Her clothes were already torn, and a pile of rags wrapped the peaks, she was very charming. A charming face smiled at Lin Muyu , Said: "No matter what you want me to do, I will obey orders, please rest assured about this."
Lin Muyu was not in the mood to joke with her, and said lightly: "I just need you to obey my orders, your law is flame, and I will help you get a godhead with the law of fire, don't worry!"
"Can you get the godhead?"
Ouyang Yan was taken aback, then smiled and said: "You are not making me happy, are you? It is not easy for a god of the mortal world to get a godhead, and what I need is the godhead of a god king, even in the heaven Very rare, let alone in the human world."
"Sooner or later there will be."
Lin Muyu nodded and said: "As long as you stay and help me wholeheartedly."
"Well, that's for sure."
Ouyang Yan turned around suddenly, narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the billowing dust and smoke in the distance, and said: "The wolf riders of the demon clan are coming... Prepare to defend against the enemy, the advance army will definitely not be able to stop it."
