Chapter 1221 A New Power
After the death of the Ghost King Xuanlu, the elite of the Pixia people were not so powerful.
The series of tactics that were previously formulated around the Ghost King's clones and the dead soldiers immediately became ineffective.
The territory of the Situ family was full of joy. The cities and towns close to the front line received the news first. There were lights and decorations everywhere, which was more lively than the New Year. It didn't look like a war-torn place at all.
On the other hand, the interior of Jucheng was quiet. The Pixia people who had just suffered a big defeat were dejected.
Late at night the next day, Situ Yu actually led his army to attack Jucheng again!
He saw that the morale of the Pixia people was low, so he took advantage of its weakness to kill it.
This night attack was unusually smooth, because there were gate-opening parties and guides at both gates of Jucheng.
The change of the west gate was discovered in advance, but the east gate was quietly pushed open. Before the Pixia people could react, the Situ army had already marched straight in-
The day before, the Pixia army was defeated in Mian Village, and hundreds of people fled. Situ Yu placed people in the defeated army and sneaked into Jucheng in order to cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside.
So far, Baijian Town and Jucheng were both taken back by the Situ family.
Among them, Jucheng controls the mountain pass and has important strategic value. After the Situ family captured Jucheng, the security of the territory was further improved.
The Bixia people could no longer easily send troops to plunder Rolling Stone Valley, Cotton Village and other places as before.
The two great victories were of great significance.
Situ Yu immediately sent a message to the surrounding allies to spread the good news.
Three days later, the receipts from all parties arrived one by one, and they were willing to join forces with Situ to attack Bixia!
Bixia was shocked and mobilized troops while asking for help from Yaoguo.
Yaoguo did not send troops directly because Situ Yu's joint attack was not smooth sailing:
Yaoguo used some means to divide the original seven armies, and only two of them came in the end, including Situ's family, a total of three.
The four forces had promised him that they would send troops and beat Pixia to a pulp. However, when the day came, they were silent. Some said that something had changed, while others said nothing.
Originally, there were 70,000 troops to attack Pixia, but now there are only 31,000 left, of which nearly 20,000 are from the Situ family.
Pixia, on the other side, has 30,000 troops and the advantage of the terrain.
Not to mention, it has the support of Yaoguo behind it.
Comparing the strength of both sides, the allied forces are not dominant, but rather at a disadvantage.
He Lingchuan has also been in the Rolling Stone Valley for some time, observing the progress of the war close to the front line.
The way of war on the Shining Gold Plain is very different from that of Yuanguo, Beijia, Yaguo, and even Panlongcheng. It is mainly local and small-scale. As long as it is not a siege, a battle will produce results in two days at most. It is short and fast, and rarely lasts for a long time.
The wars here are too frequent, and the number of participants is not large, so the derived fighting methods are different, and He Lingchuan is also quite inspired.
Another major discovery was that within just a few days, the power of faith in the Qianglong Armor - which He Lingchuan later corrected to "willpower" - suddenly increased again.
From the first day he got the Qianglong Armor, he felt a faint power on the armor, warm, soft, firm, and completely different from the spiritual power he mastered.
At that time, he didn't quite understand how the new Qianglong Armor could be attached with willpower. But after these few days, He Lingchuan finally made a clear comparison. The original power came from Pengguo, while the newly added willpower came from the territory of the Situ family and the surrounding areas!
This feeling is hard to explain, but as long as he presses the heart scale on the Qianglong Armor and closes his eyes, everything is clear in his mind.
It's as natural as breathing.
He can even detect that the willpower from the Situ family's territory is less than that of Pengguo, and not as pure.
Pengguo... Well, what did he do in Pengguo, which was formerly the country of Peng, to collect the willpower?
He Lingchuan recalled the dream of the heart scale. After the great catastrophe of the mortal world and after the death of the black dragon, the heart scale of the black dragon still supported the oasis barrier, protected billions of lives, and expelled evil spirits. It can be said that it has infinite merits and is admired by all living beings.
Besides, the black dragon itself is the divine beast closest to the way of heaven.
The armor made of this heart scale has the ability to gather the power of will.
Although the armor did not explicitly state it, he knew very well that only the power of will invested in himself would be collected by the armor.
In other words, he had to do something first to arouse the admiration and worship of living beings, and then the Qianglong War Armor could gather this kind of power.
Well, now that I think about it carefully, he seems to have done a lot in the old country.
It can be said that the subversion of that country is indirectly related to him.
Mirror also pondered with him, and suddenly shouted: "Nangong Yan! You killed Nangong Yan!"
Nangong Yan was killed by his own hands, and then his body was hung on the border for the world to see.
This beast is the black glove of the old king. He is rampant and does all kinds of evil things in the country. The people suffer from it but dare not speak out.
He Lingchuan killed Nangong Yan and got rid of this devil that no one can do. It is a move that makes people happy.
When the news spread, everyone celebrated with their foreheads, and firecrackers filled the city and the countryside.
Mirror said again: "Do you remember that someone even offered a tablet for you!"
The families who were directly or indirectly persecuted by Nangong Yan secretly set up a tablet for He Lingchuan at that time, hoping that he would be free of illness and disaster and live a long life. They didn't know who he was or what he looked like, but he avenged them, and they were grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts!
This is admiration and faith, and this is the source of the power of will.
He Lingchuan murmured: "So that's it."
By analogy, the most likely reason why Qianglong War Armor can collect wish power near Situ's territory is that he killed the Ghost King Xuanlu.
The Ghost King Xuanlu has been stirring up trouble for three hundred years, eating human souls and sending out clones to help him, stirring up trouble in the surrounding countries, which almost meets everyone's definition of "sinful".
Not to mention the distant past, there are many civilians in the territory of the Situ family who have been destroyed by it. It is hard to say that the Ghost King did not contribute to the capture of Gaopu by the Pixia people.
He Lingchuan killed the Ghost King Xuanlu on the battlefield, which was witnessed by countless people; afterwards, the Situ family vigorously promoted this fact, and of course it was widely recognized.
As for whether the Ghost King's original body really disappeared, only a few people doubted it. Most people who heard this good news believed it, so it did not affect the generation of wish power.
After thinking through the above two points, He Lingchuan became interested:
So, why is the wish power collected here less than that of Pengguo? The Ghost King has been doing evil for three hundred years. In terms of harm, it is much more severe and terrifying than Nangong Yan.
He killed the Ghost King, and the people around him should be more grateful to He Lingchuan.
He killed him twice, what's the difference?
"Time!" Mirror shouted, "How long ago was it that you killed Nangong Yan? But you killed the Ghost King a few days ago."
