At noon, the sun was shining brightly.
30,000 patrolling soldiers gathered outside Yuzhou City. Among them were 5,000 elite cavalry and 25,000 elite infantrymen.
The Marquis of Yuzhou rode a unicorn and stopped at the forefront of the army, appearing the most prominent.
Lin Yun, Yun Ruoxi, and the other three inner disciples all rode iron horses and followed closely behind the Marquis of Yuzhou.
These three inner disciples were all geniuses who were ranked at the top of the inner sect. They were all around 20 years old, and they were all in the middle stage of the sixth level Martial Warrior, half a level higher than Lin Yun.
As for the commander of the patrolling soldiers, Jiang Shijian, he was not at the scene at all.
When the Yuzhou Marquis went to the Monarch City, the enmity between Lin Yun and the Jiang Family naturally reached his ears after what had happened there.
It was precisely because he knew the grievances between Lin Yun and the Jiang family that the Marquis of Yuzhou arranged other tasks for Jiang Shijian and did not let him participate in this expedition.
And among the soldiers on this expedition, there were no members of the Jiang family.
In this way, the Marquis of Yuzhou did not have to worry that Jiang Shijian would secretly attack Lin Yun.
"All listen to the order, set off!"
Following the order of the Marquis of Yuzhou, 5,000 cavalry galloped at the same time, and 25,000 infantrymen followed closely behind.
The army of 30,000 marched forward majestically, stirring up sand and dust all over the sky. Soon, they marched to the end of everyone's sight and disappeared in the hazy gray sand.
…
The next morning.
The sun had just risen, and the mighty army of 30,000 arrived at the main city of Ji Province.
The sky of Ji Province was covered with dark clouds at this time, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the city.
Even though they were far away, they could smell the blood and the disgusting stench of rotting corpses in the air.
Looking up, the majestic city wall was damaged in many places, and the gate of the city wall was tightly closed. The ground was full of potholes, and it was obvious that there had been a fierce battle.
The whole city had become desolate, and it had completely fallen into a dead city, shrouded in an atmosphere of death and despair.
More than half of the buildings in the city had collapsed, and the streets and alleys were littered with corpses and blood flowed like rivers. Looking down at the city from a high vantage point, one could only see a bright red scene, as if Jeju City had been draped in a bright red coat.
And in this bright red city, there were some active creatures.
These creatures were extremely humanoid. Their eyes were sinister and crimson, and their expressions were terrifying like those of devils. Their skin was severely festering, and they were emitting a demonic black mist.
"What the hell is that?"
"Is it a human? But they don't look alike at all! "
"This thing looks so scary. It must be quite strong …" Ye Zichen thought.
For a moment, the patrolling guards started discussing among themselves. Their words revealed unconcealable fear.
The unknown was always the scariest.
The patrolling soldiers had never seen these things before, so they had no idea what they were. Therefore, they had no idea how powerful these things were. It was precisely because of this that they felt so uncertain.
Not only the patrolling guards, but even the Marquis of Yuzhou had never seen these things.
"Reporting to the Marquis of Yuzhou, Jeju City has completely fallen. There are no survivors in the city." A deputy general rode a horse to the front of the Marquis of Yuzhou, cupped his fists, and reported to the Marquis of Yuzhou.
The Marquis of Yuzhou sighed helplessly, "Looks like we've come too late. Even so, we have to clear all these monsters. We can't let them spread to other cities."
"Should we start the clean-up immediately?" The deputy general immediately asked the Marquis of Yuzhou for instructions.
The Marquis of Yuzhou shook his head and said, "Let's wait first. There are many monsters in this city. We only have 30,000 soldiers, so we can't act rashly."
After saying that, the Marquis of Yuzhou turned around and ordered the soldiers, "Everyone, listen up. All soldiers are on standby. When the Lanzhou army arrives, we'll discuss the clean-up plan together."
The 30,000 patrolling soldiers were all lined up neatly on standby.
The Marquis of Yuzhou rode his unicorn and came to the edge of the cliff alone. He looked down at the city from afar.
He observed carefully and realized that the monsters in the city were not only very similar to humans, but they were also wearing human clothes.
Some were even wearing the armor of the Jeju City patrolling soldiers.
This was enough to prove that they were all transformed from the people and soldiers of Jeju.
"Could these humanoid monsters be zombies?" The Marquis of Yuzhou muttered to himself.
"They're not zombies, they're demonic creatures." Lin Yun rode to the side of the Marquis of Yuzhou and also looked down at the city.
The Marquis of Yuzhou turned to look at Lin Yun and asked curiously, "Demonic creatures? What are they?"
Lin Yun was still looking down at the city and explained in a calm tone, "Demonic creatures are creatures that have been tainted by demonic qi and are controlled by demons."
"The souls of these creatures have already been taken away by the demons. They have completely lost their own consciousness and are completely reduced to killing tools for the demons. In a sense, they're no different from zombies. "
"The only difference is that not only are their bodies not stiff, but under the effect of the demonic qi, they've become more agile than when they were alive. They're also more powerful!"
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Marquis of Yuzhou was a little surprised. Something that even he didn't know, how could a mere youth like Lin Yun know so clearly?
He didn't dare to confirm the truth of Lin Yun's words, but looking at the current situation, he could only temporarily believe Lin Yun's words.
After a pause, the Marquis of Yuzhou continued to ask Lin Yun, "These demonic creatures are obviously transformed from the people and soldiers of Jeju. What kind of power turned them into demonic creatures? "
"Naturally, it's the demons," Lin Yun said calmly.
"Demons? You just said demons. Could there really be demons in this world? "The Marquis of Yuzhou's body trembled as he looked at Lin Yun in shock and doubt.
The Marquis of Yuzhou knew very well that although the Country Guarding Lord said in the order that there were demons descending from the sky, it was only a metaphor.
No one knew what was attacking Jeju. It was just that from a human's point of view, they thought that it was evil, so they gave it the name "demons".
In reality, demons had always been a mythical species in the Southern Summer King's Country. No one knew if they really existed in this world.
Lin Yun rolled his eyes at the Marquis of Yuzhou. It was as if he was a knowledgeable master looking at a naive child. "Demons naturally don't exist in this world, but they do exist. They're not a species that only exists in legends."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Marquis of Yuzhou was at a loss, "What do you mean?"
Lin Yun turned his head and continued to look down at the city, and used a calm tone to clearly explain, "All living beings are divided into three realms, the Celestial Domain, the Demon Domain, and the Sky Martial Continent."
"The Celestial Domain is the battlefield of the gods. The battle of the gods, the heroes are divided. "
"The Demon Domain is the purgatory of demons. Demons run amok, killing without end. "
