Chapter 442 Cruel War

Zhang Tianjiang did not panic when he found that the rhino beast disappeared from his sight. His mental power surged out like a tide, covering the surrounding area of ​​100 meters, so that the beast could not launch a sneak attack on him.

Not only that, he kept releasing low-level thunder magic to kill the beasts on the ground.

The moth-shaped beast hovering over Luoyan Gorge looked at this scene indifferently, as if Zhang Tianjiang had not killed a beast.

"Where did it go?" Zhang Tianjiang had a bad premonition in his heart, and at this time--

Duang!

A dull sound came from far to near, and golden light rose in the distance, and the Buddha statue appeared. In front of the Buddha statue, the dark energy as black as ink was raging, trying to break through the golden light!

"Damn it!" Zhang Tianjiang cursed in a low voice. He did not expect the rhino beast to attack the defense line. Fortunately, the monk of the sky realm was there, otherwise a strategic-level beast would be enough to easily destroy the entire Daliang City!

But why did the beast go there? Judging from the slightly humane behavior of the beast before, it is impossible that it did not know that a sage-level strongman was in charge there, so why did it go there?

Although this cannot be regarded as an act of seeking death, it is always easier to stay here.

Zhang Tianjiang turned his head to look at the moth beast. When he was hesitating whether to leave, the moth beast slowly flapped its huge wings and left from the sky above Luoyan Gorge.

Zhang Tianjiang's pupils shrank and he immediately took a defensive posture, but the next second, his face changed drastically!

Because another strategic-level beast drilled out from the exit of Luoyan Gorge, and it was a centipede beast!

The ferocious head, the huge body of 100 meters long and 50 meters wide, and the countless feet made people feel cold all over!

Humans have no good impression of centipedes at all. People are afraid of the common palm-sized centipedes at a glance. When such a large centipede beast appeared, even Zhang Tianjiang felt a chill all over his body and wanted to retreat.

"Not good..." Zhang Tianjiang's face changed slightly, but he was still a step slower. As a great magician, he clearly felt that his fear was swallowed by the centipede beast!

The centipede moved and rubbed against the ground, making dense sounds. Zhang Tianjiang's face darkened. He felt that his body was a little weak after absorbing some negative emotions.

Negative emotions, as energy that can be absorbed by the beast, are invisible and intangible, but once absorbed, the weakness of the body can be clearly felt.

Zhang Tianjiang knew what was going on. People have three souls and seven spirits. The seven spirits are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. The seven spirits are very important to people, so after the negative emotion of "fear" was absorbed, the corresponding organs also became a little weak.

Zhang Tianjiang silently recited the Qingxin Mantra while watching the movements of the centipede beast. Although he had not taken action yet, this centipede beast was obviously stronger than the rhino beast.

"It's ok that five strategic-level beasts appeared at once, and each one is stronger than the other. Is this the rhythm of destroying the Qin Dynasty?" Zhang Tianjiang thought silently, and at the same time wondered why only the monk from the Sky Realm came. After so many days, the sages who should come should have been in place.

What Zhang Tianjiang didn't know was that it was really difficult for the Qin Dynasty to send out sage-level magicians now, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't!

...

The Imperial Capital, the Cabinet Meeting Hall.

Emperor Yao, the left and right prime ministers, six palace and cabinet scholars, the heads and deputy heads of various departments, and other important ministers gathered together, but the atmosphere in the meeting hall was very heavy.

Emperor Yao sat on the dragon chair with his eyes narrowed, and his fingertips gently tapped the armrests. After a while, he slowly said: "Hand the information to the prime minister and the heads."

Eunuch Xu, the close attendant of Emperor Yao, respectfully took down the printed information and handed it to the important officials of the empire.

The entire meeting hall was quiet, except for the sound of turning pages and the gradually heavier breathing, there was no other sound.

Deputy Chief of the Military Department Zhou Congjun slammed the table and gritted his teeth: "This is too much, this is too much!"

"The World Magic Organization Association has completely become the pawn of the Sky Eagle Empire. Other magic organizations have remained silent. Damn it, they dare to take advantage of the situation at this time!"

The left and right prime ministers and other chiefs passed the information in their hands to others. Except for Zhou Congjun's cursing, everyone else became more and more silent.

This is the most critical moment since the founding of the Great Qin Empire. There has never been such a crisis before!

If it is not handled well, it will result in the destruction of the country!

"Not long ago, the front line suffered more than 100,000 casualties, hundreds of high-level magicians were killed, dozens of battle-level magicians were killed, Liu She and Yuan Li were killed, Wei Yizheng was seriously injured, Qin Guangzhi of the Qin family was seriously injured..." Emperor Yao slowly said: "What the five strategic-level beasts mean, I believe you all understand."

"But the empire is really unable to provide more support now."

"The Sislia Federation has deployed millions of troops in the Lingbei Province, watching covetously. The joint fleet of the Sky Eagle Empire and the East Sun Alliance has already approached the East China Sea. The Great Seal Alliance's The mountain troops also began to advance, and some other small countries also took advantage of the situation and attacked from all sides. "

"The troops in the major war zones of the Great Qin have begun to mobilize to the border, and the nine princes who have been awarded for their meritorious service have also shouldered the responsibility of defending their country. The sages, great magicians, and magicians of the major magic families have also gone to the major borders of the empire..."

The Emperor Yao's sharp eyes swept over everyone: "But you should know that if the strange beasts in the Gorge East Province are not resolved, the Sky Eagle Empire and other countries will not be able to withdraw their troops. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Great Qin."

"How long can food, ammunition and other resources last?" Emperor Yao looked at Ji Min, the head of the Ministry of Revenue.

Ji Min said without hesitation: "Half a year, only half a year!"

"Half a year..."

Everyone's face sank, because this time is too short, and if the foreign coalition forces increase their attack, they can't hold on for half a year!

The hundreds of thousands of beasts in the East Gorge Province are enough to hold back nearly two-thirds of the empire's troops. Even if all the retired soldiers are called back. The combat effectiveness that can be exerted is also very limited.

More importantly, many arsenals cannot afford such a huge demand!

If we had known earlier, once the soldiers fighting in the East Gorge Province lost the assistance of the Hongtian series of magic auxiliary machines, they would not be able to pose a threat to the beasts at all!

"My lords, do you have a good plan for the survival of the empire?" Emperor Yao said lightly.

The left prime minister closed his eyes, thought for a long time and slowly said: "We should live and die with the empire."

Emperor Yao's expression did not change at all. It was simple to say this, but how many people present could do it if they wanted to put it into action?

I'm afraid some people have already rolled up their bedding and are waiting to flee abroad.

"Heh..." Emperor Yao laughed in his heart, then looked at the left prime minister: "How to do it?"

"The Lord of Destruction." The right prime minister suddenly said: "We can send him to the Gorge East Province."

"Where is he?" Emperor Yao asked indifferently.

Silence, because no one knew that the identity of the Lord of Destruction was known to everyone present except Emperor Yao.

"The King of Dingbei may know." The left prime minister said.

"He doesn't know." Emperor Yao said indifferently: "I have asked."

Hesitation appeared in the eyes of the left prime minister. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and looked at Emperor Yao with deep eyes: "Your Majesty, the princes, the princes of the imperial family can be sent to the battlefield!"

"Especially the Fourth Prince and the magic auxiliary machine [Tiansha] have a high affinity, I think it can play a huge role!"

There was silence all around, even Zhou Congjun, who was cursing in a low voice, raised his head and looked at the left prime minister in disbelief.

This empire's decision-maker, the left prime minister who has been handling the empire's political affairs for more than 20 years, the prime minister who originally planned the [power seizure], has once again pointed the finger at the imperial family!

Left prime minister Chen Xinfu, how courageous!

Emperor Yao's eyelids drooped slightly, and his fingers that were tapping the armrests stopped. The entire conference room was extremely quiet, but the atmosphere was much heavier, as if countless invisible forces covered the entire conference room, protecting the left prime minister layer by layer.

This is a powerful magician in the Imperial Guards directly under the jurisdiction of the left prime minister. They are all afraid that Emperor Yao will kill people because of the left prime minister's words!

Although Emperor Yao lives in seclusion, he is indeed a magician. No matter how strong he is, it is still very easy for the left prime minister to kill ordinary people!

"Left prime minister is right. You are responsible for all the military and political affairs of the empire. You can execute whatever decision you make. Who dares to go against your will?" After that, Emperor Yao snorted coldly and left the conference room directly.

Left prime minister's eyelids drooped slightly, and continued to make a series of arrangements. Others said nothing.

…

In the ruins, Daofeng Mountain.

Su Yian lay on his back on the ground, staring at the blue sky, his eyes filled with joy.

Because he had just completed the entire body training process, he could clearly feel the source energy in his body and his vigorous blood and qi.

After repeated training, his body had become very tough, and the magic power in his body had also been greatly improved. Although he had not experimented, he guessed that his punch force was definitely more than ten thousand pounds!

Even the sage did not have such a strong physique as his!

"Congratulations." Ling'er also said with a sigh of relief. In the past few days, she clearly knew how much Su Yian had suffered to achieve his current achievements. Everything was a reward for hard work.

Hearing this, Su Yian sat up and asked, "How is the situation of the alien beasts?"

Ling'er looked at the temple. Not long after, the white cat came out very obediently and reported the situation of the alien beasts in the ruins, including several strategic-level alien beasts, including the information that Bei Ming Zhiyao and the other two destroyed a mountain of alien cores...

As a spiritual body transformed from the ruins, the white cat can naturally easily grasp the various things happening in the ruins.

"Demon Sealing Crystal..." Su Yian's eyes flashed with a strange color. He didn't know that Su Yige had such a thing. Where did she get it from? Could it be from home?

Suppressing this idea for the time being, the five strategic-level alien beasts made his expression solemn, and then he said: "The situation outside is definitely not optimistic. Break through to a high-level magician quickly, maybe you can contribute a little."

Ling'er nodded: "Do you have a plan?"

"Of course." Su Yian chuckled: "I have been prepared for today."

...

The most important defense line of the first area was breached, and the army of alien beasts marched straight in, greatly increasing the threat.

Because the artillery fire could not cover the front of the alien beast army, and they were afraid of hurting their own people, after the alien beast army entered Daliang City, the soldiers and the alien beasts began to fight hand-to-hand.

The magic armed division was at the forefront, and the ordinary soldiers retreated to the back to assist with the Hongtian series of magic auxiliary machines. Soldiers from the other nine defense zones came to help, but they still could not stop the advance of the alien beast army.

It is impossible for a human body to fight against the alien beast head-on.

"Be careful!"

With a cry, blood splashed in front of his eyes in the next second, and the sharp forelimbs of the spider alien beast pierced through the soldiers' bodies, taking away their lives one by one.

The battlefield was divided, the formation was disrupted, and the original defensive battle gradually developed towards the direction of the alien beasts encircling humans, and the situation became increasingly pessimistic!

"Ice and Snow World!"

The wind and snow suddenly descended, covering the alien beasts in a specific area, making them temporarily unable to move.

Su Yige, who had not yet reached the level of a high-level magician, could not turn the tactical-level alien beasts in the ice and snow world into ice crystals and dissipate.

"Thunder Annihilation!"

The insufficient damage was made up by Bei Ming Zhiyao, who had become a high-level magician. The purple lightning fell from the magic formula in the sky and smashed into the ice and snow world. The alien beasts whose defense was reduced due to the ice and snow were crushed by the eighth-level thunder magic.

But just as some of the alien beasts died, a large number of alien beasts surged up, endlessly.

"This is not a solution at all." Dongfang Xiaoxin said while rescuing the wounded: "The number of magic armed divisions is far less than the number of alien beasts!"

A single alien beast is stronger than several humans combined, not to mention so many alien beasts!

With no way for other war zones to send troops to support and no extra troops from the other nine defense zones, it was only a matter of time before this war failed.

"What are those campaign-level magicians doing? Can't the magic family send even one person?!"

"Xiaoxin, be careful!" Bei Ming Zhiyao flew towards Dongfang Xiaoxin.

A strange beast suddenly emerged from the ground not far from Dongfang Xiaoxin, and swung down at Dongfang Xiaoxin's back like a mantis' sickle!

"This distance is not enough..." Bei Ming Zhiyao's eyes were gloomy.

Dongfang Xiaoxin turned around and retreated when she heard Bei Ming Zhiyao's reminder, but the sickle that was so close was difficult to dodge!

However--

Swish!

The sound of a sharp sword cutting through the air sounded, and the two sickles were directly broken at the root. The next second, four sword energies formed a rectangle, directly dismembering the strange beast.

"Four-sided slash!"

Dongfang Xiaoxin sat on the ground with her buttocks, looking at the figure that appeared beside her, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"You are..." Bei Ming Zhiyao stopped, and her expression as she looked at the figure was solemn.

Dongfang Xiaoxin's expression changed slightly as the figure turned around, because the mask on the figure's face was too familiar!

Smiling Mask!

The powerful mysterious people who stole the flying magic auxiliary machine during the Hundred Schools War!
