Chapter 2437 The Heart Is Gone!

The defense area guarded by the "Raging Wave Sect" sect master Song Hongchang was only a point in the long line of defense. .

The reformers had already instigated Guanglong, the deputy head of his sect, and knew that this was the weakest point, so they deployed a large number of elites here.

The successive rounds of charges just now were nothing more than feints. Until now, Song Hongchang's subordinates, especially those who were kept in the dark, were shaken by psychological tactics. The entire defense area was in an uproar. Pai's elite jumped out and launched the most resolute assault!

Most of these assault elites are the backbone of the Deep Sea Fleet and the few veterans of the Royal Forest Army, or casual cultivators who have blood feuds with the four major elector families. They are by no means comparable to the weak troops who attacked just now.

Like a red-hot mace, they pierced through the defense line of the elector army.

The impaled elector army completely lost its will to fight, and the collapse and chaos spread like a chain reaction of spar bombs in an instant.

Under the leadership of grassroots officers, countless ordinary soldiers of the elector army really turned their blades and guns on the middle and high-level commanders.

Especially the supreme commander of this defense area, Song Hongchang, the head of the Nutao Sect, has changed from a majestic general to a street rat in an instant, and everyone shouts and beats him.

"Catch Song Hongchang, catch Song Hongchang!"

Cheers, true and false, reverberated over the battlefield, and the battle flags of the old empire representing the four major elector families were crumbling under the artillery fire, and were torn into countless strands and turned into ashes in a short while.

A brand-new banner of imperial innovation took its place and rose slowly over the battlefield. Above the banner, flames blazed, licking the entire world!

Naturally, Li Yao and the others would not let go of such a great opportunity, they rushed into and passed through the defense zone of the Elector Army together in this surging "mudslide".

The entire defense line of the Elector's Army was nearly a hundred kilometers long and tens of kilometers deep. Song Hongchang was only in charge of one section, and even if it completely collapsed, it would take some time.

Face-to-face headshots or hand-to-hand kills continued in many trenches and bunkers, but the fighting was one-sided.

The reformist faction is as powerful as a rainbow, and the soldiers are crazy and invincible. However, the morale of the elector army is low, and the souls are scattered. Many troops scattered at the slightest contact, or surrendered on their knees. , Even as soon as they saw the appearance of the revolutionary battle flag, they all pointed their swords and guns at their commanders, "battlefield uprising".

Li Yao walked forward while observing the battle situation, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Isn't this small battle to break the city just the epitome of the current situation of the empire.

In terms of comprehensive strength, the number of soldiers in battle, and even the average quality of soldiers, the Elector's Army is clearly superior to the Reformers. As the main force of the Reformers, the Imperial Forest Army has not experienced any bloody battles or vicious battles for hundreds of years. It is completely vain look like goods.

However, the biggest difference between the two is the "Tao Heart".

Dao Xin is something that every cultivator often talks about, but if you ask carefully, you may not be able to explain it clearly. It is illusory, mysterious and mysterious.

In Li Yao's view, Dao Xin is very simple, nothing more than ideas, doctrines and spirits.

A cultivator must have a Dao heart, so that his strength will have a direction to move forward. Similarly, an army composed of countless practitioners must also have a solid Dao heart in order to exert 100% combat effectiveness.

The so-called elector army, no matter how powerful it is on paper, no matter how powerful it is, it is a traditional, backward, and rotten old-style army.

The top brass of this army are selfish, greedy, shameless and moral. They can sell their motherland for their family, and they can sell their family for themselves. What ideas, doctrines and spirits are just tiger skins for their self-interest, no one will know. really.

As for the lower class, either they are blinded by their "tiger skin", or they are bought by them with petty profits, and they join forces with them, or they are coerced by their violence, and they are unwilling to give their lives to them.

Such an old-style army, no matter how strong the strong, no matter how vast the territory, no matter how many starships and soldiers there are, it is nothing but a loose sand, or a loose sand that repels each other!

The Reformers were different.

No matter how much Li Yao despises the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi and deeply fears his schemes, Li Yao has to admit that there are Wu Yingqi, Li Linghai and even all the reformers, and they all firmly believe in their own ideas, doctrine and spirit.

At least 50% of the reformers are not fighting for their own self-interest, but for something higher, for the new empire they believe in.

This is a new-style army with a Dao heart. When encountering an old-style army without a Dao heart like the Elector's Army, it is destined to crush the opponent with rolling wheels.

Human, no matter what level of cultivation you reach, no matter how powerful your combat power is, you still need to have a little spirit after all.

The Elector's army is destined not to be the opponent of the reformers. Perhaps, only the federal army, which has the same moral heart and is even more determined, can compete with these "new emperors" under Wu Yingqi's command.

The army was defeated like a mountain. At this time, the entire defense line was like an avalanche of mountains, sending out deafening roars, and gradually retreating.

Countless soldiers of the Elector Army chose to surrender on their knees or "battlefield uprising", but there were also many people who were heavily in debt or had a lot of interests in the family territory, and chose to flee back to the urban area of ​​Lingfeng City, trying to catch With a glimmer of hope, find a starship to escape.

The soldiers and low-level officers on both sides of the fierce battle were equipped with imperial-style crystal armor, but there was an extra battle emblem on the breastplate of the reformers. Li Yao and others quietly tore off the battle emblem, and then switched the mode of the identification friend or foe system , mixed in the chaotic rout of soldiers, everyone is concerned about running for their lives, who has time to pay attention to them?

Half an hour later, they successfully entered the urban area of ​​Lingfeng City.

Here is another, perhaps more bloody and terrifying hell on earth.

The news of the collapse of the defense line had already spread. The order in the city that had been maintained for more than half a month by the high-handed aristocrats had collapsed. Everyone rushed towards the Lingfeng tunnel.

Their eyes were red, their voices were hoarse, and they bared their teeth and claws. They looked like a mixture of zombies and beasts, desperately fighting for the last chance.

There are also countless thin-bodied people who know that they will never be able to squeeze into the starship and give up hope, but they stand or squat on the street like walking dead, looking at the sky and surroundings very confusedly, as if they are so lost that they don't know why they came here He even forgot who he was.

Li Yao saw countless people like this, most of them were luxuriously dressed, jeweled, elegant women, and there were some elders who could be seen to hold great power but were old and frail.

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen even scanned the facial information and identified several very famous stars.

"These people standing on the side of the road like walking dead are all very powerful literary and artistic immortal cultivators, and they are well-known stars in the empire!"

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen said, "I didn't expect that even they couldn't get on the boat."

"It doesn't matter whether it's a literary type, a management type, or a research type or a creative type. They can all play a role when the social order is running well."

Li Yao looked at the pale faces of these former big stars, and sighed, "When the order collapses and returns to the bloody forest where the weak and the strong prey on the weak, only the most simple and direct violence is the only one. strength!"

Sure enough, there are also some big stars or high-ranking management-type immortal cultivators, who are tempted by beauty, bought by money, or begged those combat-type immortal cultivators to fight a bloody road with them and rush to the Lingfeng tunnel go.

But the fighting immortal cultivator kicked them away mercilessly. No matter how many people have dreamed about that face, and how many contracts they have signed with those hands, they are worthless right now.

There are even quite a few low-strength combat-type cultivators, knowing that they are doomed to have no chance to board the evacuated starship, they simply put their minds to one side, yelling the slogan "Uprising on the battlefield, renovating the empire", and they gathered together to form a chaotic scene. The army, engaged in looting by fire, burning, killing and looting.

Since they have made up their mind not to leave, these big stars and big bosses who carry a lot of wealth with them will naturally become their best prey. Before the power of the reformists has really invaded Lingfeng City, the city is already burning and smoke billowing , screams, laughter and the sound of flesh and blood tearing into chaos.

"I finally understand why Wu Yingqi has stayed in Lingfeng City for so long."

Li Yao and Long Yangjun beheaded a group of rebel soldiers who dared to rob them, and said to each other, "On the one hand, it is used for training, but on the other hand, he also hopes that there will be chaos in Lingfeng City first.

"The civil strife in Lingfeng City is the epitome of the territories of the four major electors. If one big noble pats his butt and leaves, there will be ninety-nine mid- and low-level immortal cultivators who can't leave, and these 'abandoned' people , Under the strong jealousy and hatred, he will not hesitate to throw himself into the arms of the innovators and become the most loyal innovators.

"What's more, when Wu Yingqi and Li Linghai spread what happened here to all parts of the Star Sea, especially the territories of the four major elector families, what will the middle and low-level immortal cultivators in the territories think?

"When the hearts of the people are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team. Wu Yingqi has surrounded Lingfeng City for a month without attacking, but it is to severely hit the 'people's hearts' of the four major electors!"

"But now, the city is broken."

Long Yangjun glanced back at the battered defense line on the edge of the city, "We have to speed up, otherwise, if a large number of nobles are crowded in the Lingfeng Tunnel and find that there are not enough starships, we will really be able to say 'I can't leave, no one can leave'." Don't even try to go 'things!"
