Chapter 0854 While There Is Still Hope
The snowflakes all over the sky are stagnant in the sky, like a lush pear forest, but the branches of the trees have disappeared, and the beauty is full of weirdness.
Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons was not surprised, and her bamboo pole-like body moved forward slowly. The snowflakes that were touched fell helplessly, leaving a long and narrow passage behind Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons.
She walked to the top of the hill and looked around. The stagnant snowflakes blocked the sky and the sun. Her eyes flashed with light of different colors three times in succession. Finally, she saw the towering cliffs of Lookout Mountain, three hundred miles away. It is the only place not covered by snowflakes.
On the slope hundreds of steps away, a huge white bear stood there breathing heavily. Every time it breathed out of its nostrils, a large snowflake melted. Sitting on the back of the bear was a half-demon in black robes, staring at the banshee on the top of the mountain with gloomy eyes.
The Holy Mother of All Sons stepped down the mountain and walked to a place about ten steps away from the half-demon. Her feet were at the same height as the other person, and her head was still much higher than the half-demon. She raised her arm to pick up a snowflake, watched it melt on her fingertips, and said, "The scene at Wangshan is quite beautiful."
"I'm here to negotiate with you." The half-demon said coldly, his statue-like face expressionless.
"Let's talk." Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons was still admiring the snowflakes around her. When she saw one with a special shape, she raised her hand to fiddle with it.
"In the past few months, you have indeed won several battles. The reverse technique has helped you a lot, but you have also made a huge mistake. You showed your unique skills too early and did not know how to cherish them. You taught the natural magic at will. Now, we have these spells, too.”
"Thank you Mu Xingqiu, he is always very generous."
"Mu Xingqiu, huh, he was last seen in Xingshan, and he hasn't been seen for nearly five months now."
"Soon, he promised to come to Wangshan in October."
The half-demon sneered, "It's already the end of October, and we've been waiting impatiently."
"Big shots are always late to appear, and the same goes for demons? We have been waiting for several years, and we have never seen anything except a wooden statue.
"It's coming soon, you won't be disappointed. I'm here to give you a chance on orders from the demon clan."
"Wow, I haven't heard such a beautiful word as 'opportunity' for a long time. It seems that winning the war is really beneficial."
"Don't be too complacent, Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons. Victory won by opportunism will not last long. Natural magic is not that powerful. We have found its weaknesses. Unless you have a hidden trick, the next battle will be between monsters and humans. The time of destruction.”
"Our special move is Mu Xingqiu. It is said that he was very proud of himself at Xingshan. Everyone present at the time had confidence in him, and so did I."
"The illusion of mind and heart is indeed good at boosting morale, but he is bound to fail. The demon clan does not underestimate him, and even treats him as a Taoist priest who obeys the sun, but he is still bound to fail. The demon clan is willing to give the demon clan - only the demon clan - One chance. If you surrender within three days, you can survive. After three days, the demons will leave no one alive. "
"This opportunity is not great. We also give the demons a chance: walk out of Wangshan Mountain before sunset today, kowtow to everyone and beg for mercy, then stand up and dance a demon war dance. After we are all satisfied, the demons can continue to chew the bark of the tree. Yes, we will plead with Mu Xingqiu."
"Hey, bring back the demon clan's conditions and let the demon clan choose for themselves."
"I am not Mu Xingqiu. If you join my demon army, you must listen to me. My choice is the choice of the entire demon army. If anyone dares not to listen, I will kill him."
The half-demon stared at the Virgin of Ten Thousand Sons for a while, then turned around and slowly left. "Opportunities don't always come," he said without looking back, "Hope is usually poison."
Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons looked at the back of the half-demon, "Demons must be naked when doing war dances!"
She also turned around and walked slowly back to the top of the mountain. Snowflakes suddenly started to move and danced all over the sky. Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons took a deep breath and looked behind the mountain. In the vast camp, eleven demon armies came into view.
The number of each demon army varies, ranging from seven to eight thousand to as many as fifty or sixty thousand. Most of them have joined in the past two or three months. With the newly learned natural magic, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons fought three battles in the land of demons. After three victories, he defeated a large number of half-demons and ice kings. The demon soldiers in the demon camp surrendered in large numbers, and the demons in hiding came to join them one after another.
The Dou Zhuan Xing Shifting Formation arranged by Bing Kui was originally to restrict the magic and sorcery in the world, but it had no effect on the newly emerged natural spells. Coupled with the influence of the reverse magic during the war, the demon side was restrained. One side was so powerful that it took half a year to attack all the way to Lookout Mountain, hundreds of miles away. It was the first army to arrive.
Even if the natural magic has been leaked, Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons does not particularly care. This simply means that the two sides have achieved a balance in spells. The victory of the battle depends on close combat with real swords and guns. In this regard, those with strong natural strength will Beast monsters are more dominant.
More than half of the soldiers in the army of the Holy Mother of All Sons were beast monsters, and they suddenly became one of the most powerful forces in the land of monsters.
Hundreds of descendants of the Virgin came forward, all wearing identical armor: dark red animal horn bone helmets, gray-white feather armor, holding in their hands a bone hammer with a handle several feet long. The head of the hammer was a skull, and there was a skull in its mouth. There are demon beads of different colors.
The descendants of the Virgin Mary were arranged neatly. The ten descendants walked up to the Virgin Mary and divided them into two groups. They stood on top of each other on the shoulders and skillfully dressed the Virgin in a full set of armor.
After finishing wearing it, Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons raised the real skull hammer in her hand and said loudly to all the soldiers: "We have arrived at Wangshan Mountain. Things that were once unimaginable are happening. This is a miracle, but the miracle is not over yet. There are monsters I suggest that I wait for a human named Mu Xingqiu to arrive. It is said that he can defeat the demons on his own. But I don't believe it. Even if Mu Xingqiu really has this ability, what can he do? Victory also belongs to humans. Monsters must be grateful and surrender, otherwise they will be called ungrateful. I don’t want to be ungrateful, and I don’t want to pin all my hopes on a certain person or monster, because I came all the way to Wangshan. , not for fun.”
"The half-demon suggested that I surrender just now, saying that this is an opportunity. This is indeed an opportunity. If the demons are really that easy to deal with, then the Taoist priests are the stupidest people in the world. Will tigers be scared away by rats? This is impossible . Therefore, we will still face a battle to the death. Even if we have won three battles, we will still die here."
The demons were silent. It was rare for Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons to speak so clearly, but the meaning she revealed was not optimistic at all.
"But I will not surrender or retreat, because I am not an ignorant ant or a stupid beast. If the ancient gods wanted me to endure the slavery of the demons, they would not give me dignity or let me feel the humiliation. You will not give me flesh and blood, let me feel pain, you will not give me hands and feet, so that I can run and hold the sword. Death is behind me. Those who are afraid, please withdraw from my army. You have other ways to die. I. I will only die in battle, and I would rather let the demons trample my bones than be forced to kneel down because my legs are too long and my bones are too hard.”
The children of the Virgin were silent, like a flock of feathered field dummies.
A demon general flew up from the military formation at the bottom of the hill. King Yu Fadong let out a high-pitched cry. Tens of thousands of flying demons flapped their wings and rose up, chirping in unison. On the ground, more beast demons and half-demon looked up to the sky and roared. , compete with the flying demon.
Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons turned around, stretched out her skull hammer, pointed forward, was the first to perform the reverse technique, and then walked towards Wangshan Mountain following the previous footprints.
Flying demons cover the sky, beast demons and half-demon move the ground, and the snow in the sky slowly stops.
The roar of the demon army was heard far away, alarming the demon tribe of Lookout Mountain and also alarming the humans in another direction dozens of miles away.
Pei Zihan listened for a while, then turned to the dozen or so humans in the tent and said, "The Holy Mother of All Sons has started a war. Now it's up to you to choose."
Xin Youtao, Xiao Qingtao and more than a dozen generals did not speak. The young Cihuang sat on the only chair, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "You all said that the hope of victory lies in Mu Xingqiu. He has not yet appeared." "Why do the demon army start the war in advance?"
"It's already the end of October." Pei Zihan came to see the human leader as the envoy of the demon army. He was not asking for peace or joining forces, but just came to announce the demon army's decision. "There are three days left until November. , but Mu Xingqiu never showed up, and no news came. If Mu Xingqiu breaks the appointment, or encounters something unexpected, do you know what this will mean? How great is the hope he brings, and how great the collapse will be. When the time comes, the demons and humans will be defeated without a fight, so we have to start the war today while everyone still has hope."
"What if Mu Xing Qiu Ming arrives the day after tomorrow? Wouldn't starting the war in advance be a waste of money?" Cihuang still had not made up his mind.
A smile appeared on Pei Zihan's skinny face, "Do you really believe that Mu Xingqiu can defeat the demons on his own? He needs help. Even if he really has this ability, the demons will have to do their best to fight the demons. Contribution. I am not here to ask for support, I am just here to remind you: the battlefield chosen by the demon clan is directly east of Wangshan. If humans want to go to war, please choose another direction."
Pei Zihan bowed to the Ci Emperor, then nodded to Xiao Qingtao, turned and left. He would never miss the greatest war in the history of the demon clan.
"I want to hear your opinions." Cihuang said.
The generals expressed their opinions and thought of all possibilities, but there was no perfect solution.
The Emperor Ci glanced at him frequently, but Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao did not speak. They were Mu Xingqiu's strongest believers, so it was even harder to make a decision. They always felt that Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin would arrive at any time.
The armies of the vassal states have been merged into the human army. King Huaibi of the Talang Kingdom stepped forward and said: "We just defeated the demon army of the Sheshen Kingdom. Just more than half a year ago, this was unimaginable. In the past six months, , we fight all the wars ourselves. Humanity once relied on Taoism, but they left without any explanation. Do you want to ask me if I believe Mu Xingqiu? But I will not rely on him. The demon envoy is right, it is better to fight while hope is still there than to regret it when hope is shattered. The warriors of the Treading Country are willing to be the vanguard."
Xin Youtao finally made a decision, "Human beings cannot fall behind the demon clan. Let's start a war. We must fight step by step and persist for at least three days."
