Chapter 421: The Country Is Destroyed but the Mountains and Rivers Remain
He Lingchuan looked at him deeply: "Are you injured yet?" Sure enough, his previous judgment was correct, this guy is really an opportunist.
"It doesn't matter."
He Lingchuan did not object, stood up and said: "Let's go."
He was indeed curious about Thousand Stars City. You must know that the destruction of this city was thirty or forty years earlier than Panlong City, and the opponent was also hopelessly powerful.
He gently supported the stone house and quietly released the eyeball spider.
Uncle Da was right across the street, so he couldn't take it lightly.
The eyeball spider looked at the owl opposite, and immediately shrank into the crack in the stone.
The two of them walked together towards the fantasy city.
Before turning around, He Lingchuan glanced at the campfire opposite and saw six or seven Chiyan people standing up, talking and laughing as they walked towards Huan City, but Uncle Da still stayed with a few of his men to guard the carriage.
He Lingchuan frowned secretly.
The guys in the caravan were just going sightseeing, so there was nothing wrong with them, but these Chiyan people were playing a battle royale game with Fushan Yue recently, and there was a noble owner in the car. How could they dare to take it lightly and go out for a walk?
Uncle Da still acquiesces to being so unprofessional?
After walking dozens of feet, He Lingchuan asked Fu Shanyue: "Have you seen this illusion before?"
"No. I've walked this road at least three or four times, and this is the first time I've seen him today." Fu Shanyue took off the splint this afternoon and hid his hand in his cloak so no one could see the injury on his arm. "But I have heard of these illusions, and they also have a proper word, called the Reflection of the City of Thousand Stars."
"Lingxu City doesn't like these illusions. We have set fires here several times and performed magic spells several times to get rid of them. Hey, it's no use." Fu Shanyue also looked at it as he walked. "Later, I found out that it only exists in a certain place. It was only triggered under certain specific circumstances, maybe it was a special scene like today where there were thunderstorms and strong winds followed by a bright moon in the sky, so Lingxu City gave up. I heard other people who experienced Huan City said that they only saw it after a very bad celestial phenomenon. Seeing the scenery in front of us, some people came to guard it, but they came back in vain."
He Lingchuan had heard of this kind of thing in his original world. It seemed to be the sound and light images occasionally left behind by nature, which was purely accidental.
As for here...
"Is this the scene before the Qianxing City was destroyed?" There were people rushing around everywhere, delivering weapons and medicines, transporting the wounded, putting out fires, and teams trying to intercept enemies who jumped down from the city wall... Even women and old people were Even though they were sent to the field, they were still seriously short of manpower.
There were fires everywhere, explosions everywhere, and loud cries everywhere.
Countless figures composed of water vapor, old or young, demon or human, strong or thin, all passed through the bodies of He Lingchuan and others, rushing to their death. Although time has passed and the man has passed away, He Lingchuan still felt sad in his heart when he saw this scene.
He understood that a few years later, such a dirge would also be played in Panlong City.
"It seems so." The two of them walked towards the rear palace, Fu Shanyue said, "Yuan Kingdom defeated the army formed by Lingxu City three times, which is rare in history. Even after the death of King Yuan and the destruction of Qianxing City, Mu Guangpingyuan carried out King Yuan's legacy and still revolted three times, killing many officials and soldiers and causing great turmoil in the central region. "
He Lingchuan was slightly shocked: "You also revolted three times?"
"Yes, it can be seen that the people of the Yuan Kingdom at that time were brave and determined." Fu Shanyue said quietly, "Otherwise, how could it trigger the thunder and wrath, and the emperor personally ordered the army to massacre in the Twilight Plains for thirty days. Do you know how many people died at that time? ?”
He Lingchuan shook his head.
"The City of Thousand Stars was destroyed. No one in the 230 members of Prince Yuan Shao Yuqing's family was spared. Even the ten-year-old child was dragged out and chopped into pieces with thousands of cuts. He wailed for a whole day before he died. In contrast, Prince Yuan and his son fought Death on the battlefield is a happy death."
"Then the army was ordered to search and kill on the Twilight Plains without distinction between good and bad, men and women, and regardless of cause and effect. The entire Yuan Kingdom was empty of all ten houses. At that time, the plains were filled with blood and rivers, and there were open-air graves everywhere. Field, eagles and crows are circling in the sky all day long.”
He Lingchuan hissed lightly.
"Finally, the thirty-day period passed and the army withdrew. But too many people died, and the plague was rampant here." Fu Shanyue scratched his head, "Two hundred years have passed, and the Twilight Plains has not recovered yet. Yuan Qi is what you see. After that, the tributes given by the demon kings to Lingxu City became even richer."
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
"Whenever a demon king rebels here, will Lingxu City massacre dozens or millions of civilians?"
The residents of the Twilight Plains are also the people of Bega Kingdom and Bega people. Even if someone leads them to resist the Demon Emperor and the gods, the "first sin" lies with King Yuan. Generally speaking, when a rebellion commits such a first-class crime, it is enough to kill the leader. How can there be such a large-scale and indiscriminate harvesting of heads?
Just like Nian Zanli led Wuzhou to defect to Bejia, even if the Yuan Kingdom defeated him, at most it would kill nine of its tribes. How could it be possible to massacre the entire Wuzhou people?
Which ruler can undermine his own pillars like this?
If the Demon Emperor is moody and often hysterical, then He Lingchuan can understand. It is said that when the emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses and bleed in the oars. Emperors also have tempers, and there are times when they are so angry that they have to kill people to calm down.
But He Lingchuan clearly heard that this demon emperor was calm, shrewd, talented and strategic, and was a rare wise man among the demon clan.
Fu Shanyue shook his head: "There have been more than ten demon kings who rebelled in the past. Only this time, the severity of the punishment is unprecedented. The emperor may have been touched."
However, He Lingchuan always felt that the drama in Lingxu City was somewhat familiar.
At this time, dozens of people and horses suddenly appeared in front, all running towards the city gate. There are also two golden-armored god generals accompanying them. One step is two feet long, and their big feet make a loud sound.
He Lingchuan almost drooled at the sight of these two golden-armored god generals.
How much effort did he put into making a bronze man with golden armor? And being alone in a foreign land, he didn't have the financial resources to upgrade it. Every material used for this thing was extremely expensive.
There are two upgraded versions 2 running around in front of you.
A large fireball flew from high altitude, at least seven feet in diameter. It was a rolling stone thrown in from a cart outside the city. The surface was coated with oil and ignited, doubling its power when it landed. Fires broke out everywhere in Qianxing City, and a small part of them were responsible for them.
Seeing that it was hitting the team, the golden armored god rushed forward, jumped, punched, and hit the big fire ball five feet away.
Like a home run.
The movements of this golden armored general are too smooth and vigorous, right? It was many times stronger than his own, and He Lingchuan was once again jealous.
The team's speed did not slow down, and they arrived in front of the two people in the blink of an eye.
At this time, more than ten people suddenly rushed out of the diagonal thorn. They looked like ministers in their clothes. They didn't care whether the horse's hoof would step on their heads. They turned over and knelt in the middle of the road, saying in unison:
"My king! Thousands of stars cannot be saved, please evacuate immediately!"
"What a joke!" The knights stopped hastily, and one man stood out from the crowd. He was about forty years old, with long eyebrows and white face, and an imposing manner. "The king dies in the country, and I will live and die with Qianxing City! You can go first, I will Send someone to escort you out of the city."
The ministers shouted amidst the sound of artillery fire: "If you are here, Yuan Kingdom will still be there."
"Our country is in the hinterland of Bejia, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if we have to retreat and flee, where is the way to survive? I hate that the Suluo Kingdom has betrayed its trust and turned against the enemy in battle. It was also me who overestimated King Suluo and acted rashly!" King Yuan said coldly! He said, "The mistakes I made will never be redeemed, and I caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people. How can I have the dignity to leave Thousand Stars City?"
Another old minister said: "You will keep a fire in my great abyss alive, so that the country will not be destroyed and the queen will not be destroyed."
"Fire?" King Yuan suddenly smiled, "Fire has flowed out of Thousand Stars City. Someone must inherit our legacy!"
All the ministers looked at each other and seemed to be relieved.
The old minister asked again: "How many young masters are there?" Are you leaving the city safely?
Human beings value the inheritance of their children more than monsters.
"Yun He killed the enemy on the city wall and died a righteous death, but Yun Hai was only eleven years old..." King Yuan choked and couldn't continue, but he pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand.
The effect of the water vapor illusion was so good that He Lingchuan even saw the veins on the back of his hands bulging, showing the exertion.
Even Fu Shanyue was a little moved: "He killed his own son with his own hands? He is an outstanding person!"
He Lingchuan looked sideways. Could this guy have some misunderstanding about the word "renjie"? But he also understood that King Yuan did not want his youngest son to be humiliated after his death.
He is so cruel to his own flesh and blood that he can truly be called a heart of stone.
The ministers were stunned.
The corners of King Yuan's eyes also turned red, but he said: "No matter where they escape, they can't escape from the hands of gods and demons. No matter how big the world is, there is no place for them. Haha, I would rather the children die awake than them." Live cowardly, like all living beings!"
"I am Wang Yingrui." The veteran at the front said with tears in his eyes: "In that case, I will take the first step." After that, he pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed himself calmly.
Other courtiers followed suit.
After a splashing sound, only a few ministers in the back row were shaking all over, with their arms and legs trembling.
The city is about to be destroyed, do they have any other way out?
The knights bowed their heads in salute to the minister who committed suicide. King Yuan closed his eyes and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, after I kill a few more enemies, I will accompany you to the spring platform!"
He didn't even look at the frustrated courtiers beside him. He gave the order and all the horses rushed towards the city wall.
After that, there were bloody and tragic scenes.
Seeing the entire Thousand Stars City turn into a sea of purgatory fire, even Fu Shanyue, who had always been heartless, let out a long breath.
This was the last moment when a powerful demon country was fixed in history. As the eldest son of Chiyan Kingdom, he should have a lot of emotions.
"At this time, there is no Chi Yan yet." Hearing his muttering, He Lingchuan couldn't help but ask, "What?"
Less than two hundred years ago, had Chiyan Kingdom not yet been born? "Is your father the founding monarch?"
"Yes." Fu Shanyue said, "Chiyan has only been around for more than 150 years, and is the youngest and most energetic demon kingdom in the entire Bejia."
At this moment, a short scream came from the left front.
Human screams were everywhere in the illusion, but Fu Shanyue frowned and said, "No, it smells of blood!"
