Chapter 597 Battle of Chang'an
Chapter 597 Battle of Chang'an
Swish swish.
The heavy punch from the King of Time shattered his arm.
The exploding flesh and blood splattered on the ground like a cannonball, creating countless deep pits.
An indescribable pain arose, and Taoist Sanshan's face was filled with horror. This result was completely different from what he had expected. The emperor's speed was too fast, almost completely surpassing that of an ordinary hero.
boom!
Jiang He threw another punch.
Like the beating of drums by thousands of troops, the roar of thunder reverberated over the sky above East Yongzhou City. The pressure as if from an abyss enveloped the three heroic fighters present. The expression of "Man Khan" changed slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, this kind of power should come from legendary authority.
With a body at the peak of gold and the power of authority, this is no longer a matter of opportunity and luck. Even if the major forces in the boundless void try their best to cultivate, they will not be able to find an existence with such "capacity".
Wow!
Taoist Sanshan disappeared from the spot.
Xie Annan controlled the power of rotation and exchanged positions with Taoist Sanshan. The black and white light mixed and rotated between his hands like a millstone. In his immortal state, he was dressed in gorgeous crown and robes, but his face was as pale as paper.
boom!
The tremendous force smashed the black and white millstones into powder, and the rotating force only removed 30% of the power. The raging fist light pierced through Xie Annan's chest. The extremely lethal fist force destroyed flesh and blood, crushed bones, and swept through the body to kill life.
With just one punch, Xie Annan retreated three hundred feet. He forced himself to stand on the bank of the Fen River, and the overflowing fist force split the surface of the river.
At the moment of death, two spirit fish, one black and one white, emerged. The black fish exploded directly and took on the damage with the power of rotation, while the white fish rushed into the body of Taoist Sanshan.
Xie Annan, who had tried his best to survive, had bloodshot eyes.
In the field of vision, Jiang He was looking at the Nine Dragon Sword in his hand. Nine dragon shadows as long as forearms were entangled together. The breath from the ancient barbarian dragon made these "sub-dragon species" tremble.
"Tyrant." Xie Annan gritted his teeth.
"There's still a fight to be had." Taoist Sanshan said gloomily, "Thank you very much for the lucky white fish from the patriarch. I'll take on the frontal attack from now on."
"It's not completely impossible to win."
"Man Khan" smiled coldly, because his current body was just a puppet, and he was the one with the strongest desire to fight.
Jiang He looked up, thoughtfully.
As for the fish of fortune, he had seen it on Yuan Changling.
The leaders of large sects, royal families of dynasties, and heads of thousand-year-old families can generally control the luck that resides in them.
"In that case, I guess I'm not an exception."
In the blink of an eye, one-third of the Southern Liang Dynasty's national destiny flowed out and merged into the phantom of the ancient barbarian dragon. As if it was filled, the dragon head of the phantom became solid.
Jiang He clenched his fists. His control over the power of force seemed to have improved by about 10%.
The next moment, the three of them changed color at the same time.
The emperor, who is already at the absolute top of ordinary heroes, is still getting stronger.
call!
The space was torn apart again.
Jiang He came in front of Taoist Sanshan and punched him on the forehead without caring about his expression.
Boom!
Within a radius of one hundred meters, the ground shattered, the Yanggang River embankment that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed, and the Fen River rolled out with waves reaching the sky.
The Taoist priest Sanshan retreated a dozen steps in fear. Fortunately, Xie Annan sent him the white fish of luck. In a short period of time, the power of rotation and the earth bug worked perfectly together to transfer the damage to the ground. However, as a sacred beast, a heroic warrior was forced to this point by the peak of gold, which was simply a reversal of Tiangang.
call!
Jiang He suddenly turned his head, and his palm covered with golden Sanskrit swept across his neck. The heavy breathing of "Man Khan" contained the stench of corpse. The Divine Transformation: Vajra Wrath made him gain an immortal-level body of solidity and toughness, especially with the support of a hero's body and energy, his defense was amazing.
boom!
Jiang He elbowed the man in the chest with incredible speed.
A crisp sound of the sternum breaking was heard, and "Man Khan" spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with white bone fragments. However, facing the terrifying force, he forced himself to stand firm on the spot. The earth surged like waves, and the ochre light reflected on his body.
This is the power of the sacred beast Earthworm.
Whoosh!
Taoist Sanshan rushed from the front. The power similar to that of Pseudo-Taoism in a short period of time gave him great confidence. His sheep head was lowered, and his three extremely sharp horns were protruding. The khaki halo contained the power of the earth, making it extremely strong.
Attack from front and back.
Jiang He looked normal.
Up to this moment, no accidents had occurred. Neither the Twenty-Four Generals of Qinhuai nor the Elder Master of the Daode Sect had appeared.
"I overestimate you three."
"In that case, you can pack up and prepare to die."
In an instant, a flash of silver light appeared.
The moment the Everlasting Sorrow Dragon Spear was born, an endless smell of blood swept in all directions, as if tens of millions of creatures were crying and howling madly, cursing the Master of the Dragon Spear with hatred and fear.
Jiang He held the silver dragon spear and swept it across.
The incomparable force and weight gathered together, driving the ultimate sharpness to chop the "Man Khan" into pieces. The severe overflow of damage annihilated his life, and a distant cry of pain was heard in the blood mist.
With one shot, "Man Khan" fell.
Taoist Sanshan's expression became extremely horrified, but Jiang He's pace was too fast, leaving no room for the prey to move. The silver spear light quickly enlarged in the field of vision, and then pierced through the head, and the ferocious dragon shadow bit the soul.
"Move!" Taoist Sanshan was furious in his heart.
With the cooperation of the Lucky White Fish and the Earth Claw, half of the ground of Dongyongzhou City was shattered into powder, but the infinite killing power from the tip of the gun was still being released, and the dark poison poured into the wound. As the Lucky White Fish suddenly dissipated, irreversible death came.
boom!
Taoist Sanshan’s head exploded.
[Reminder: The executive officer's exclusive mission has been completed]
[Hint: You get the Immortal-level Armor-Breaking Gem]
On the bank of the overflowing Fen River, Xie Annan stopped walking and returned to his original position, his eyes blank.
too fast!
In the blink of an eye, two land immortals fell, as if from the moment the silver spear appeared, the outcome of the battle was no longer suspenseful.
Despair slowly crept onto Xie Annan's face.
Half a year ago, he would never have believed that he would face death in such a powerless manner.
"Your Majesty, the lands of the Three Wus and Jiangnan have not been digested yet, why are you trying to kill them all?" Xie Annan asked with a sad face: "The Pei and Xie clans and the six great families have clearly surrendered, why can't they give us a way to live?"
"Silver." Jiang He said calmly.
Xie Annan showed an expression of disbelief, and said with difficulty: "As long as His Majesty gives the order, how can we not hand over the gold and silver?"
Jiang He looked a little confused. Wouldn't it be faster if he grabbed it himself?
Xie Annan's eyes gradually became resolute, and the black and white millstones appeared again. When the rotating force targeted his own vitality, his whole body seemed to be burning. The black and white millstones quickly grew larger, like a house covering his body, just like the leader of a cult. This move "Guangshajian" was his last resort.
Jiang He snapped his fingers.
Xie Annan suddenly spat out a large mouthful of black blood. He suddenly remembered that it was on the bank of the Fen River that the emperor had given him an ordinary carp.
"I told you, this is the last meal for execution."
The sub-legendary poison defeated Xie Annan, and the poisonous blood spread along his blood vessels, poisoning the remnants of the Xie family hiding in the territory of Nanliang. Jiang He blasted the "Guangshajian" with his gun and blew up Xie Annan's head in the process.
Theoretically, the best time to kill Xie Annan should be before A Da becomes the leader of the martial arts world.
However, it made little difference to Jiang He. During this period of time, he could kill anyone who showed up instantly. After all, most of the ordinary heroes who had just been promoted did not have time to master the Divine Transformation.
A gem is embedded in the tail end of the dragon spear.
[Tip: Your exclusive weapon gains 100% additional armor-breaking damage (Immortal armor-breaking gem +17)]
Jiang He fed the Nine Dragon Sword to Long Qiang.
[Hint: Your exclusive weapon has been slightly improved, and it is as heavy as a small mountain, but it can lift heavy objects with ease (3/7)]
[Tip: Your exclusive weapon, Soldier Soul, devoured nine dragon souls and officially became a true dragon. The soul damage of Soldier Soul increased by 120%, currently 320%]
Jiang He read the detailed instructions. The so-called "True Dragon Level" does not refer to a specific life level or era, but a life form, just like Aya always stays in the "snake" form. Her form development is not climbing upward, but strengthening horizontally. It is worth mentioning that because of the hunter's core ability, Heroic Spirit, Aya was promoted to a complete hero with the feat of "Midgard Python". Her body size has reached 100,000 meters. One day, she may really be able to circle the world.
[Tip: Main quest ⑤ has been released]
[Mission Name: Final Battle]
[Task Introduction: Since Jiantian Pavilion has restored contact with Zhulu World, the core of the world has merged with the dragon vein (cannot be moved). The dragon vein is expected to appear in 50 days. The location is in Chang'an City. When the battlefield player occupies the dragon vein, the timer will start. The battlefield player who occupies the dragon vein for consecutive days will gain % victory.]
[The victory rate of the unified Northern Wei, Southern Liang and Western Barbarians has dropped to 50%. For the dominant party, Southern Liang, the current stage's largest contributor will receive additional rewards and compensation. If the "Dragon Vein Occupation Party" and the "Unified World Party" are different, it is expected that the second stage of the competition will be launched, and the process will be witnessed by the Pillar of Eternal Marrow]
[Quest requirements: Seize the dragon vein (core of the world)]
[Quest Reward: Heart of Ouroboros (Legendary)]
[Task time limit: 90 natural days]
[Task Penalty: None]
[Note: The Ouroboros Heart can upgrade the Soul Armor Final Knight to the Sub-Legendary level]
Jiang He heard the prompt sound. For players who were born from the End and All Living Beings, the penalty for the final battle mission should be annihilation. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be many players willing to fight with him for life and death.
The next moment, he tore through space and returned to the capital.
……
The first year of Kaihuang, early March.
A sub-hero who calls himself "Li Shi" swept across the country, recruited the world's strongest men to form a martial arts alliance, officially served as the leader of the martial arts world, and was promoted to hero for this great achievement. After defecting to the Northern Wei court, his rank was ranked first among the four pillars of the country and the four generals.
At the same time, the news of the birth of the dragon vein spread throughout the forty states in the north and south. After Emperor Xiaowen became seriously ill and fainted, the remnants of the Reading Guild entered the Northern Wei court. When Emperor Xiaowen accidentally "woke up" on his sickbed, he appointed four ministers of state, two of whom were from the Reading Guild and the other two were also battlefield players.
Under the leadership of the four ministers of state, the Northern Wei Dynasty formed an alliance with the Western Barbarians. The King of Pingxi of the Five States gathered his troops, entered Chang'an, Yongzhou, and surrendered to both sides.
All of a sudden, troops from all over the world gathered towards Chang'an, Yongzhou. The Southern Liang court dispatched the three legions of Ansai, Changling, and Sanwu, including the three state legions on the western defense line, with a total of 530,000 troops, claiming to be one million, to threaten Chang'an, with Xiangyang and Luoyang as the front line against the enemy.
At the same time, after early and mid-term development, more than a dozen player adventure groups and guilds showed amazing explosive power, especially under the premise that the puppeteer controlled the Western Barbarians, the player group eroded the indigenous forces on a large scale. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was still in bed, but the four ministers of state said that His Majesty had decided to lead the army in person.
For a time, the world was in turmoil.
Bingzhou of Northern Wei Dynasty.
The elite troops of the Six Garrisons gathered here.
Pingyang Village in the county is a small village with only 300 households.
"The population of the Northern Wei Dynasty was 60 million. If you remove the women, that would be 30 million men. If you remove two-thirds of the old and young, there would be a total of 10 million young and strong men. If they all went to the battlefield, it would be enough to make the emperor suffer."
At the head of the village, the leader of the Wanjiang Adventure Group rode on a warhorse. He waved his whip and said something that stunned the accompanying lieutenant-general.
The villagers of Pingyang Village gathered at the entrance of the village. Dozens of armored soldiers detained the young and strong men. The leading centurion began to distribute armor and weapons. The armor was made of clay, and the swords were made of bamboo. These equipment emitted a strange cold light at this moment.
Mud Armor - an alchemical item, theoretically, within three months, the defense is enough to rival that of a Ding-level Yang Steel Armor, and the same is true for the matching bamboo weapons. Moreover, after being blessed by the holy warriors of the weapon adventure group, it can give the wielder a relatively sophisticated killing skill, comparable to that of a professional soldier.
The leader glanced around and nodded with satisfaction. His own Wanjiang Adventure Group consisted of two alchemists, himself and the deputy leader, and the rest of the members were all alchemy apprentices. They had been dormant since the advent, and now it was finally time for the harvest.
"Very good. A small village like Pingyang can gather two hundred soldiers. The victory of Chang'an is very likely."
Leader Wanjiang waved his hand and said, "Begin distributing Zhuyan Pills. Each person will get ninety pills. Remember to keep them carefully. This is your military rations for the next three months."
The soldiers distributed the crimson pill. Zhuyan was a sacred beast symbolizing war, contracted by successive Northern Wei emperors. The Zhuyan pills made from it undoubtedly had powerful effects.
Veins bulged on a young man's forehead, but facing the elite soldiers, the second level of martial arts cultivation was meaningless. He swallowed the crimson pill reluctantly. After only a moment, he felt a strong sense of fullness. In addition, a strong fighting spirit surged from his eyes, and he even took the initiative to put on mud armor.
The young man looked at the armored soldier with eyes full of recognition.
Leader Wanjiang laughed loudly. The players who could participate in the battle were naturally elite. With thousands of players showing off their skills, it was only a matter of time before they could control the entire Northern Wei Dynasty. As Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was seriously ill, the process was greatly advanced.
The current Emperor Xiaowen is nothing more than a tool to consume the Northern Wei's national fortune and make the Zhuyan Pills.
"Soldiers, follow me to battle!"
"Here."
Two hundred new recruits joined the team. The women and children of Pingyang Village cried and rushed forward to pull them away. A plump woman held on to the young and strong warrior tightly.
"Husband, if you all leave, how will we live?"
The young warrior said righteously: "If we can't win the battle of Chang'an, we will have no tomorrow. In this difficult time, we, the men of the Northern Wei Dynasty, should work together and face death with courage!"
The plump woman was stunned, her husband seemed like a different person.
"That's right." The young warrior seemed to have thought of something and said decisively, "You shouldn't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. Take off your clothes quickly and reward your brothers."
"Husband, you are absolutely crazy!"
The scene was in chaos. Captain Wanjiang was indifferent to it. In fact, the entire 24 states in Jiangbei were frantically recruiting soldiers. The Northern Wei Dynasty was like a madly running machine. As the driver, the players obviously didn't care about what would happen after March. If they couldn't defeat the ultimate weapon of Origin, all the players would die.
As for the Western Barbarians, they are perhaps even more cruel. Anyone who can ride a horse, regardless of age, gender or child, must go to the battlefield. Almost the entire barbarian tribe is capable of fighting.
Looking at the woman whose life was gradually fading away and the villagers who had turned into wild beasts, Captain Wanjiang could not help but shake his head.
"Mo Ke, Mo Ke, you are turning people into devils."
"No wonder the old master is willing to draw his sword for the people of the world. This scene makes me feel heartbroken even after watching it."
……
March, the first year of Kaihuang.
The Northern Wei Dynasty raised an army of six million and marched straight to Chang'an.
Four million Western Barbarians entered Yongzhou.
This scale is unprecedented in the history of the world's struggle. Millions of troops are stationed in various important cities. With the technical support of the Senluo Adventure Group, wild grasses and trees have become the main military rations.
Northwest of Southern Liang, Luoyang.
Four major legions moved in.
From here heading west, passing Mianchi, Shiguan, Hanguguan and Tongguan, you will enter the Guanzhong Plain area.
In the former palace of Luoyang, Jiang He sat on the throne, looking at the battle report sent by Wuhe with a frown.
"Tens of millions of troops..."
"interesting."
Now the Guanzhong area is full of enemies, and some players who are good at earthworks are still working on building the city. Fifteen days later, the dragon vein has emerged. The Battlefield Alliance has managed Guanzhong like an iron barrel, and the cooperation between the three parties has achieved remarkable results.
Inside the hall, the high-ranking evil generals of the four legions stood in a row, each of them at the rank of general. Ah Da was not there, and Ah Er and Ah San, as their direct generals, led them and stood on the right.
On the left, Lao Hei is in the first place, Wuhe is second, Zhuang Ya and Si Ning are third and fourth respectively. As for Zhao Shukui, since he is an outsider, even if he ranks high on the world list, he can only stand at the back. After all, someone has always been nepotism.
Jiang He pondered as he looked at the battle report. He practiced the Divine Silkworm Sutra and wanted to create an ancient barbarian dragon. He needed to kill 303750 people on the battlefield. If he could win the Battle of Chang'an, he might be able to reach the ninth level of ancient barbarian dragon power. However, due to his relatively insufficient foundation in martial arts, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to achieve a qualitative change to the Holy Spirit level above the legendary level.
"Boss, General Hou Yanshan sent a secret letter."
"The puppet master arrived in Chang'an and has already controlled the Great Shaman who volunteered to sacrifice himself. It is expected that the more deaths there are in the Guanzhong region, the stronger this Great Shaman will become. He may eventually surpass his limit and reach the heroic elite level above the immortals on land."
Wu He said solemnly: "There are also thousands of years of barbarian warriors who have been buried in Shaman Mountain. Their bodies have all fallen into the control of the puppet master. There are twelve people with the fighting power of land immortals."
The Three Kingdoms War and the background of the struggle for supremacy in the world surfaced.
The Daode Sect also began to cooperate with the Northern Wei Dynasty. As for the old Taoist priest, his position had been biased ever since his first disciple and his wife died tragically at the hands of the Southern Liang emperor. Moreover, the sooner the war ended, the sooner the world would be stable. Unlike the former demon cults, their identities were extremely secretive. Even the old Taoist priest who had been exorcising demons for a decade found it difficult to find them one by one. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
Inside the hall, everyone was waiting for the Maharaja's orders.
The rebellion of General Hou Yanshan was an unexpected surprise. He was loyal to Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and did not want to see the emperor being controlled by four regents.
Jiang He said, "The three states and three Wu armies will stay where they are. Er and San will lead the Changling and Ansai armies to cross the river and head north. They will sweep across the Northern Wei territory all the way to Dongyongzhou and head to the Western Barbarians on horseback. Zhao Shukui will guard Luoyang City, and Laohei and Wuhe will be in charge."
"I personally led the Evil Guards to attack Guanzhong, and Si Ning and Aya accompanied me."
no disagreement.
Since Jiang He has made the decision, no core members of the team, including Si Ning, will object.
