Chapter 71 Morax's Decision
Chapter 71 Morax's Decision
Back in the days of the Liyue Demon War, there was a saying that "If the Immortals have less than 10,000 men, they are invincible." With the same number of men, no army could contend with the Immortals Army, and very few could fight against the Qianyan Army.
Compared to the fragile and cowardly humans, the advantages of the immortal beasts are too great. Originally, the immortals galloped in the mountains and forests, howling and hunting, fighting as a daily routine. Even humans who were given power by the devil were like a tiger in a flock of sheep when they really faced the attack of the immortals. They were simply unable to match it.
Xingluo State Master Zheng Sen, or Osel, closed his eyes, and a look of misery flashed across his face. At the beginning, there were so many demons and heroes on the continent of Teyvat, but in the end, they were all defeated. The iron cavalry of the Qianyan Army and the Immortals marched across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, unified the world, and the blood of the children of Yunlai filled the sky.
In the past, he had so many believers and so many people in the Yunlai Sea area! But now there is only one Liyue Port left, standing there. He hates Liyue Port, and also hates those humans who betrayed him and surrendered to Morax!
Unexpectedly, the iron army that roamed across the continent of Teyvat was, in a sense, brought back to this world by Morax. Could it be that everything that happened in the Demon War era is finally going to happen again?
The strong resentment and hatred seemed to become material in Osel's blood-red eyes.
"Morax! I'll be waiting for you right here."
Osel raised his head, looked in the direction of the Tiandou Empire's army, and spoke slowly.
--------------------------------
The Qianyan Army and the Xianjia Army led by Zhongli broke through all the way to the south and soon entered the territory of the Xingluo Empire. They were heading straight for the direction of Xingluo City!
For a moment, the battlefield on the entire continent took on a somewhat strange form. On one side, the Xingluo Empire's army was advancing step by step from other directions, approaching the direction of Tiandou City. On the other side, the Qianyan Army and the Xianjia Army were advancing deep into the territory of the Xingluo Empire, destroying everything they passed through.
In just half a month, Zhongli actually received thirteen swan tokens from Tiandou City, asking him to return to rescue. Zhongli threw all these tokens into the fire.
"Humph, this old man Xue Ye is so corrupt and stupid! Are we going to ruin all our military achievements just because of this old man's cowardice?"
Ma Hongjun said as he chewed a piece of barbecue with oil dripping from his mouth.
They were in a manor in the Xingluo Empire. It used to belong to a grand duke of the Xingluo Empire, but was liberated by the warriors of the Qianyan Army and the Xianjia Army. The warriors slaughtered all the cattle, horses and livestock in the manor, took out the fine wine in the wine cellar, drank and ate meat in big gulps, and they were really happy.
In fact, because they were too deep into the enemy's territory, it was already difficult to obtain supplies from the Tiandou Empire. The Tiandou Empire army that they followed before was left far behind and could not keep up with the pace of the Qianyan Army and the Xianjia Army warriors.
"Before the troops move, the food and grass must go first." This sentence does not seem to be completely applicable to the Qianyan Army and the Xianjia Army today. Because their mobility is too fast and their adaptability is extremely strong, the way of fighting to support the war is enough for them to advance all the way to Xingluo City, and the supply line is no longer that important.
Along the way, they have eliminated hundreds of thousands of enemies and corrupt people who hindered the holy war, and the spoils they have seized are innumerable. The supplies they have carelessly abandoned and burned are countless.
As they passed by, Nandou City, the second largest city in the Xingluo Empire, this den of wealth and extravagance where countless nobles gathered, had now been completely turned into ruins. The great nobles plundered the people's fat and the treasures of the cunning common people had all become spoils of war for the warriors, and these enemies had all been buried in the ruins.
"Your Majesty, please get in the car!" An attendant looked at the worried Emperor Xue Ye and sighed in his heart and said.
Not long ago, under the guidance of the new Prime Minister Navilette, all the ministers made suggestions, which led to today's trip.
The Xingluo Empire's army was getting closer and closer to Tiandou City. Moreover, the Xingluo Empire's army was still advancing steadily, and the counterattacks that Tiandou Empire could make were becoming increasingly limited. Even if the several troops that had previously cooperated with the Fifth Prince Xueli were transferred back, it would be difficult to reverse the situation. Today, Tiandou City was almost in danger.
So, not long ago, under the leadership of Vilet, the ministers suggested that Emperor Xue Ye personally go outside the city to review the three armies and boost morale in order to defend Tiandou City in the next battle. Emperor Xue Ye had no choice but to agree.
However, before getting on the carriage today, Emperor Xue Ye's eyelids twitched for some reason. It seemed as if something bad was about to happen today.
"Ugh"
Under the questioning gazes of several attendants, Emperor Xue Ye finally sighed and got on the carriage. However, his hand was still on the scepter; after the carriage started, his spirit did not relax, but became more tense.
"Your Majesty, Pinggao Mausoleum is just ahead! It's only less than two miles away from Xinlitun where our army is stationed."
An attendant in front reported.
"Yes, I understand."
Emperor Xue Ye closed his eyes and said calmly. However, the hand holding the scepter was soaked with sweat. For some reason, when he heard the place name "Pinggaoling", the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger.
"kill!"
At this moment, shouts of killing suddenly rang out from all directions; Emperor Xue Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and in an instant he clenched the scepter in his hand to the extreme, only to feel a sudden tightness in his chest.
The moment he got off the car, he saw a handsome man in a blue robe who was also holding a scepter. There were clusters of sea-blue light around him, so deep.
"I despise all those who are great."
On September 7, the "Pinggaoling Incident" that shocked the continent broke out. In one day, the Tiandou Empire was turned upside down, almost a change of dynasty.
After swearing an oath by the Douling River, the Prime Minister Navilet actually launched a mutiny during the military parade of the Emperor Xueye. Almost all the royal family members of the Tiandou Empire were killed in one day, and the Emperor Xueye himself was not known whether he was alive or dead. From then on, the entire government of the Tiandou Empire was controlled by Prime Minister Navilet!
