Chapter 459 Ziyi Military God! Five Thousand and Five

Once the wind blows, the clouds move in all directions!

Within a few days, the situation on the frontline changed several times. An Shuai, who had been patient for more than half a year, finally broke out and waved his hand to order all the barbarians to attack violently. The situation suddenly changed and smoke spread everywhere. The Blue Flame Legion was not unprepared for this. In fact, they had expected this situation to happen a long time ago, but their own strength was not as good as the opponent's. In addition, they did not expect that the opponent's attack would be so violent and sudden. ...The defense line collapsed in an instant, countless positions were lost, and there was nothing left to do.

But at this moment, the news that Zi Yi was about to lead troops to reinforce the Cang Yan Legion suddenly came out, and the battle situation reversed again in an instant!

From the beginning of the war to the present, the situation of the war has actually always been a bit strange. The Thunder and Cangyan legions on both sides were fighting fiercely, and there were beacons everywhere. However, the most critical position of the Zichen Army's defense area was calm, and the barbarians did not make any mistakes, as if they had never seen this place in their sight.

The reason is naturally clear to everyone, because sitting here is the Ziyi Army God who looks down on the world, and the Zichen Army that is so powerful in the mainland! Now that no one dares to come to provoke them, they can only take the initiative and show their edge. [

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it is a fact that Zi Yi has not left Xiongguan City yet. But even this is enough to attract the attention of all parties, and they keep making secret moves. This is like a male lion entrenched deep in the mountains. Although he has not come out of his den to hunt, he raises his head and roars. Thousands of beasts are not afraid, and the wolf is running like the rabbit...

…

At noon, Xiongguan City.

It was still the heat wave in Ziyi's house. However, the owner here took off the purple fluffy cloak he usually wore and wore a set of armor made of unknown metal.

This armor is light purple in color. Smooth as a mirror. If you look closer. You can also see natural irregular spots inside the metal, like a deep and quiet sea of ​​stars!

There is only one set of this armor in the entire continent. It was made from meteorites extracted from the sky and then forged into shape by the hands of skilled craftsmen. The manpower, financial resources, time, etc. consumed during the process are not known to outsiders. What is known is that in the end this armor was made by King Bran himself. Give it the master - Ziyi Army God!

In a sense, perhaps from this armor alone, we can know that the news that Zi Yi is about to lead his troops out of Xiongguan City is not groundless.

He stroked the smooth shoulder armor. Zi Yi raised his head and chuckled: "Haha, the mission and destination of armor are on the battlefield. But I only wore this set of armor during the awarding ceremony, and it has been at the bottom of the military warehouse for so many years. It feels aggrieved to think about it. Got it."

"Haha, Marshal, why are you aggrieved? Apart from you, who else in the entire continent is worthy of wearing this armor!"

"Yes. And now that the war is imminent, it will follow the marshal and naturally complete its mission and gain the glory it deserves!"

"..."

The inside of the house is the same as last time. There were about a dozen well-dressed generals gathered. They looked at the mysterious armor on Zi Yi with burning eyes. They all expressed their sincere admiration. This is not flattery, but a soldier's yearning for the highest symbol of honor!

He waved his hand, "Ahem... Haha, it doesn't have that complicated meaning. The reason why I don't wear it is because it doesn't keep me warm like other clothes." After twisting her body, Zi Yi looked a little helpless, with a self-mockery look on her lips. , "And I've lost a lot of weight over the years. I can't stand up anymore and my clothes don't fit me."

Not warm, not suitable... The generals looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. In the entire Bran Empire, I'm afraid he is the only one who can despise this set of armor so much!

"Okay, let's get down to business first." Zi Yi looked serious and said, "The news of the reinforcements for the Cang Yan Legion has been released, and now the war preparations are in place, so naturally we have to count them. Well, the legion has a total of five armies here. Except for one army that is left to defend Xiongguan City, the other four armies are all going out to fight. Who wants to go and who wants to stay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rough-looking general walked out first: "Marshal, my gang of brats can hardly hold it in any longer. No matter what, our army will be the first to ask for a fight."

Zi Yi nodded and chuckled: "Haha, okay, count you in!"

"Haha, thank you, Marshal!" The rude general was overjoyed when he heard this. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly returned to his original position after receiving the order, as if he was worried that the military order would fly away at the next moment.

The generals couldn't help but smile when they saw this impatience. After laughing a few times, they also walked out to ask for orders. [

"Marshal, our army invites you to fight."

"Our army is asking for a fight... Hey, I said, Lao Wa, you are not particular about this. Didn't your army just fight last time? Why the hell are you here to join in the fun? This time it is our army's turn! "

"We just fought? Can you have some brains? The last battle was three years ago, how can we count now? Marshal, our army is determined to fight!"

"Bah! How about we figure it out first, whoever wins will go to battle..."

…

The small house that was peaceful just now was instantly drowned by all kinds of noises. All the generals were blushing and vomiting. He was so excited that he was about to engage in a general-level force contest on the spot.

This situation is actually normal here. Whenever a battle mission is issued, several generals will compete for it. The reason is that the Zichen Legion has a good reputation. In recent years, the barbarians have always avoided this place consciously when they attacked. Therefore, the generals of the Zichen Legion are full of strategies and have elite soldiers. However, they can fight in a single battle. They really can't hold it back. light.

However, this argument did not last long, because General Yi suddenly slapped his thigh when he saw a few people sitting aside and not participating in the fight: "Isn't there only one army left behind? Then wouldn't it be wrong to let the four armies who are good at defensive warfare stay? The best of both worlds?”

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became silent. The generals were all stunned when they came back to their senses, and then collectively shifted the target of their 'attack'.

"What a good idea. Can we let the Fourth Army stay?"

"Yes, Mr. Tang has the reputation of being Bran's second borderline. It will definitely be no problem to fight defensively."

"I agree……"

…

"Uh..." General Tang, who was sitting firmly on the side, was stunned when he saw this, and then he smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Okay, since none of you are willing to stay, then our Fourth Army will guard it. "

"Haha, that's very good." The generals were overjoyed when they heard this. Some people saw that Mr. Tang was somewhat reluctant in his attitude. He comforted with a smile. "General Tang is so prudent and prudent. Only if I leave Xiongguan City to you to guard, will everyone have no worries. And there may be some blind barbarians who bump into your hands and accomplish great feats easily."

"Go, go, go... don't make fun of me." How could General Tang not see that this was a joke, and although his army was famous for fighting defensive warfare, he couldn't take part in such a great opportunity. Unavoidably, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he waved his hands to drive away a few people. at this time. A calm voice suddenly sounded,

"Why don't we let our army defend it?"

"Huh?" The overjoyed generals and the somewhat regretful Mr. Tang were all startled when they heard this. They turned around and realized that it was Ralph who had been silent.

"General Lei... Well, the Second Army is indeed a good choice."

Relf leads the Zichen Second Army. His army is not exactly known for its defense, but is known for its ability to attack and defend well. In this way, there will naturally be no problems in defending the city. And more importantly, this was proposed by Ralph himself. Of course it is impossible for the generals to compete with him.

"Why don't we let General Lei defend it? Mr. Tang has been stable for most of his life. It's time to fight a good battle."

"I have no opinion……"[

At this time, Zi Yi, who was sitting at the top, pressed her palms to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he looked at Ralph, who had a dull expression, and frowned slightly: "You two armies are going to defend the city?"

Ralph raised his head and met Zi Yi's gaze, his expression unwavering, and he nodded gently: "Yes."

"Ahem..." After coughing a few times and pondering for a moment, Ziyi stroked her palms and raised her head slightly: "Okay, your two armies will guard Xiongguan City. Yes, but it's very inconvenient for me to move, Ralph Just go with me and assist in commanding."

After a moment of silence, Ralph nodded and said concisely: "Yes."

"That's it." Zi Yi closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. She waved her hand as if she was tired, "Except for Relf, ​​the left wing of the Third and Fourth Armies and the right wing of the Fifth and Sixth Armies will set off according to the previously agreed route. Well, this battle is the first time our legion goes out after being dormant for more than ten years, so you must show off the might of the Zichen legion!"

"Yes!" The generals looked excited. They straightened their bodies and saluted a standard military salute, then turned around and left.

As the door closed again, only Ziyi and Ralph were left in the room. Ziyi is still closing her eyes and pinching the bridge of her nose, while Ralph is even more silent. His expression has not changed at all from now on. Even when the sweat drops pass through his eyes, he is quietly waiting for them to accumulate water and then fall full... Inside the house There was silence for a moment.

After a while, Ralph stood up and said, "Marshal, I'm going to prepare a military strategy."

"Haha, it's really not easy to wait for Silent Eagle to speak." As if waiting for Ralph to speak, Ziyi opened her eyes, showed a child-like smile, and then waved her hand, "No. I won't lead this time. One army. Well, lead nine armies into battle."

"Ninth Army?" Ralph's expression, as if carved with a knife and an axe, rarely revealed a look of shock.

Xiongguan City is located in the important area closest to the front line, and there are usually four or five armies stationed around it. But this does not mean that all the troops of the Zichen Army are here. In fact, there are several other armies scattered in all directions to stabilize the defense line. Judging from the registration situation, the Zichen Army has a total of eight armies!

However, these eight armies are only for outsiders to see. People with identities like Ralph know that there is actually a ninth army in the Zichen Army. However, this army is really mysterious. Whether it is military operations such as stationing, training, and combat, or logistical supplies such as equipment, food, military pay, etc., it is completely separated from other soldiers of the Zichen Legion and forms its own system.

It can be said that apart from knowing that this army was established by Zi Yi more than ten years ago, and that most of the soldiers in it are collected homeless people and orphans... everyone knows very little about other things, including Ralph and a few others. A general.

"Yes, there is a saying that raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. Only after fighting can you know the true combat effectiveness of this army. And..." Zi Yi nodded, and then wanted to say something else, her body suddenly trembled violently, "Ahem... Ahem..."

"Marshal." Ralph looked unbearable and walked quickly over to pat Zi Yi on the back.

The coughing sound didn't stop, one sound got louder than the other, and Zi Yi's originally pale face instantly turned red. He grabbed the corner of the table with one hand and made several clear finger marks. He waved his hand and pointed tremblingly at the plush cloak on the chair beside him.

When Ralph saw this, he immediately ran over and rummaged through the left and right pockets of his cloak, only to find they were empty. Then he found a crystal vial containing purple liquid in the inner pocket. Run back quickly. Unscrew the bottle. Pass it to Ziyi's lips.

There were six or seven heaters in the corners of the room that were constantly radiating heat, and the crater was nothing more than that, but Ziyi's lips were still trembling, and her upper and lower teeth were bumping against each other at a very high frequency, like falling into an ice cave. It took several tries before the bottle was successfully put into the mouth.

Gudong...

I don't know what this purple liquid is made of, but it is certain that it is very effective in dealing with Zi Yi's strange situation. After swallowing, the violent coughing finally stopped.

"call……"

Take a long breath. Slowly recline on the seat. Her face was flushed, and her thin lips like willow leaves were dyed with a lavender luster and trembled slightly. If you ignore the Adam's apple that is still shaking up and down, he does have the grace of a beautiful and delicate woman at this moment.

But this is Ziyi, the Ziyi who scares thousands of barbarians from taking a step into the Zichen Legion's defense zone! Such a huge contrast makes people feel that the Creator is unreasonable.

"Haha, what did you say just now?" Bo Ye raised her lips slightly, Zi Yi was still smiling, raised her hand and touched her forehead lightly, "Oh. It's the Ninth Army... Well, you saw it too. With my physical condition, if I don't lead you anymore If the Ninth Army fights a battle, I’m afraid we won’t have a chance.”

Upon hearing this, Ralph's expression fluctuated slightly, his lips wriggled a few times, he hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Oh... that's it." Ziyi let out an inexplicable sigh and stood up holding the table, "Come on, come with me to see the city."

Ralph didn't move, looking at the heater in the corner and frowning.

Seemingly knowing what Ralph was thinking, Ziyi waved her hand and said with a smile: "Haha, I always have to leave these things. I can't bring them with me when I lead my troops on an expedition."

After saying that, he walked around the table and walked towards the door. Ralph looked at Zi Yi's back, pursed his lips, lowered his head and followed.

Squeak, "Marshal!" As soon as the door opened, an old guard guard next to him glanced at the guard and immediately saluted with an extremely standard military salute.

"Haha, Old Gil." Zi Yi seemed to be very familiar with the veteran gatekeeper. After exchanging a few words, she pointed to the cabin behind and curved her mouth, "Remove the heater inside after I leave. Well, the secret inside is There are a lot of them, old Gil, you have to protect them, haha..."

"Yes, Marshal, don't worry!" Old Gill didn't seem to hear the joke in these words, and solemnly gave the military salute again, with a loud voice. Zi Yi was annoyed by this, smacked her lips, patted the other party on the shoulder, and walked out.

The Zichen Military Headquarters is located in the very center of Xiongguan City, which should have been the city lord's palace. However, after Zi Yi led his troops to station here about twenty years ago, the original city lord took the initiative to give up his position. Zi Yi did not refuse at the time, because everyone knew that as long as Zi Yi lived here, there would be no problems with the safety of the city, and the people could continue to live with peace of mind.

Ziyi came out from the back door, accompanied only by the silent Ralph. This city is too close to the front line. Although it has not been ravaged by war for more than twenty years, it is normal for soldiers wearing armor to appear. In addition, Ziyi came out very rarely, so not many people paid attention to them when walking on the street. Of course, there are also some people who are familiar with the military. When they saw the general rank on Ralph's sleeves and then looked at Ziyi, their expressions suddenly became uncertain and they were stunned on the spot...

It was afternoon, and there were many people on the street. Or a handyman rushing to deliver goods, or a young man inviting friends to go to the pub to get drunk, or a rich girl discussing where to open a new clothing store... all kinds of things. It can be said that the people here are lucky, even the homeless people who are worried about where to find their dinner. Because, at least they don't have to face the bloody and cruel battlefield!

While walking among them, Ziyi began to show great interest, and would stop and look at interesting things when encountering them. But after walking down a few streets, his expression became lighter and weaker, even vaguely resistant. at this time,

"Mom, leave quickly!" "Kill them to death..." "Black-hearted ghosts, you will definitely go to hell..."

The noise was punctuated by curses and scoldings. Zi Yi looked up and saw many people walking back from the street corner ahead. Some of them looked angry, pointing behind them and shouting curses. Some even picked up the stones and soil on the ground and smashed them with their arms.

Soon, more and more people came out of the street corner surrounded by something. Zi Yi first saw a group of Zichen soldiers in the center of the crowd, suppressing dozens of strong men who had been hit with black noses and eyes swollen by various things. Behind them were carriages tied with oilcloth.

Seeing this, Zi Yi suddenly nodded. Needless to say, this must be a group of smugglers who wanted to pass through the defense zone but were caught.

Among the three legions, if there is one legion that cracks down on smuggling the most severely, it is undoubtedly the Zichen legion. Moreover, this order was given by Zi Yi himself, and he even mercilessly approved the execution of several senior officers who had received illegal money. During those few months, the gallows in the city hardly had a day free.

However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that for some people, high profits are more tempting than the cold gallows.

"Hey... General!" At this time, the soldier walking at the front accidentally turned his head and saw Ralph at the back of the crowd, and suddenly exclaimed.

These soldiers are all members of the Zichen Second Army. Now that they see the generals of our army, they naturally want to come over and report the situation. The team immediately stopped, the crowd dispersed, and a man who looked like a captain walked over. Just as he was about to salute Ralph, Zi Yi glanced aside from the corner of his eye, and suddenly he was shocked.

Waving her hand, Zi Yi stopped the captain's exclamation, and asked in a warm voice: "Is this smuggled?"

"Uh... yes, yes!" The captain's expression suddenly became excited. Zi Yi actually saw Marshal Zi Yi... At this moment, he could almost hear his own heartbeat beating like a drum.

Zi Yi squinted at the carriage behind her: "Are there a lot of things?"

"Reporter Yuan... Well, there are a total of twenty carts of grain, fifteen carts of fresh meat, and three carts of salt."

Nodding and pondering for a moment, Zi Yi said calmly: "The smugglers will be sent directly to the gallows for immediate execution. As for these goods... there is a slum in Nancheng, and they will be distributed there. Well, pay attention to maintaining order. , come back and go to the logistics office to receive the reward, go ahead."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the captain subconsciously straightened his body and saluted a military salute, then turned around and left in a daze. He only remembered Zi Yi's order in his mind, and even his own general, Ralph, was forgotten.

In fact, even if these smugglers really want to be executed, they must be tried and approved by the court in the city. But if Zi Yi speaks, it will naturally be unobstructed! Those smuggled supplies are the trophies of soldiers in other legions. On Zichen's side, they have to hand it over first, and then the soldiers will be given equal rewards from above.

This transfer process may seem cumbersome, but it is actually a tough move. After all, these supplies were given to the soldiers, and all they could do was sell them to black market merchants. So will black market traders resell these materials to smugglers? There is no doubt that as long as the price is okay, the result will be certain.

"Uh, is this the God of War..." "No, I haven't seen the God of War in public for several years..." "Look, the man next to you has the rank of general, so..."

Seeing that the people around him seemed to be reacting, Zi Yi pressed down the edge of his helmet, turned around and strode away: "Let's go, it's time for us to set off, don't keep some people waiting..."

I don't know if it was because of the cold wind, but Zi Yi's last sentence seemed very meaningful. Ralph looked confused when he heard this, and then shook his head slightly, silently following Zi Yi's pace...
