"Leader Qin, I heard that the Devil Disaster attacked Mount Liang and the Stone Forest. What's the situation now?"
When Gu Feng saw Qin Shujian, he went straight to the point.
Behind him.
It was a group of caravans.
Qin Shujian waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just a Devil Disaster. It's not qualified to be presumptuous in my territory."
"It seems that I worried too much!"
Gu Feng was shocked, but there was a faint smile on his face.
When the Devil Disaster walked out of the Immortal Plains.
He happened to be on his way to deliver supplies to Mount Liang Village.
After hearing the news.
Thus, he immediately rushed over, hoping to stop the spread of the devil disaster before Cold Mountain Village was destroyed.
After all —
The Devil Disaster was caused by demons.
Even in the ordinary realm, it was not something that one or two forces could compare with.
Although Mount Liang Village was a second-class force, in Gu Feng's eyes, it was still impossible to fight against the Devil Disaster alone.
He thought that when he arrived at Mount Liang.
He would see scenes of fighting, or simply ruins, and scenes of the Devil Disaster completely attacking.
However.
When he really entered the Mount Liang area.
Gu Feng found.
There was no sign of the Devil Disaster here.
There was not even a bit of Devil Qi.
When he walked to Mount Liang Village, he did not see any scenes of fighting or the Devil Disaster raging.
However, Gu Feng did not think that his information was wrong.
The information of the Carrier Trading Company.
Not to mention the distant ones.
In the Star Brilliant Ordinary Realm, there were not many who could compare with them.
Especially when he saw that there were many injured bandits, he could basically confirm that a battle had indeed taken place here.
But it seemed.
The battle was over.
At this time, he happened to meet Qin Shujian, who had just returned from the Stone Forest. After asking, he finally confirmed the answer in his heart.
The Devil Disaster did happen.
It was defeated by Mount Liang Village again.
This time, Gu Feng thought that he needed to reevaluate Mount Liang Village.
After suppressing the shock in his heart.
He pointed to the caravan behind him and said, "These are the things that Leader Qin needed before. The payment can be considered as an advance payment. I want to discuss with Leader about the Devil Disaster."
"This way, please." Qin Shujian nodded. Before leading Gu Feng up the mountain, he said to Zheng Fang, "I'll have to trouble Hall Master Zheng to take care of the matters here."
"Leave it to me."
Zheng Fang did not decline.
Walking on top of Mount Liang, Gu Feng sighed with emotion: "Mount Liang Village is really getting stronger day by day. If the youths of the village at the foot of the mountain are properly nurtured, they will soon be able to form a sufficient fighting force."
"Hehe, it's just a small matter."
"Fort Master Qin, if this is considered a small matter, then there aren't many forces in the Ordinary Realm that are worthy of being mentioned."
Gu Feng shook his head and laughed involuntarily. He was truly shocked in his heart.
The last time he was here.
There was still no sign of a village.
Now, after a few days, the village had already begun to take shape.
Today's Cold Mountain Stronghold gave Gu Feng a feeling that it was not a Lulin force, but more like the embryonic form of a sect.
The two of them chatted for a while, and soon entered the Hall of Loyalty.
After they were seated.
Gu Feng immediately asked impatiently: "This time when the Devil Disaster came out of the Undying Plains, did Fort Master Qin encounter any demons?"
"I didn't see any demons."
"I see …" Gu Feng's heart relaxed. If the demons didn't make a move, stopping the Devil Disaster wasn't so shocking.
Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, Qin Shujian changed the topic.
"I didn't encounter any demons, but I did encounter something that called itself the Undying Demon Lord."
"The Undying Demon Lord!"
Gu Feng's heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly jumped up. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
His eyes stared closely at Qin Shujian, as if he wanted to see something.
"According to the records, the demon sealed in the Undying Plains is called the Undying Demon Lord!"
Hearing this, Qin Shujian pretended to be enlightened: "So he is the demon, no wonder his strength is extraordinary."
"You guys fought?"
"If we didn't fight, do you think the Devil Disaster would retreat on its own?"
"Hiss!"
Qin Shujian's words made Gu Feng's heart tremble violently. The shock in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
He didn't doubt that the other party's words were false.
Not many people in the Ordinary Realm knew of the Undying Demon Lord's name. Even he himself only found out after using the power of the Cheng Yun Trading Company.
And it was just as the other party said.
Once the Devil Disaster wreaked havoc, it was impossible for it to retreat for no reason.
Only when it encountered a strong resistance would it have the possibility of retreating to the Undying Plains.
In other words.
The person in front of him really fought with the demons.
Even so, not only did he not die, but it seemed that he didn't even lose.
"The weakest of the demons are experts above the Divine Martial Realm. Although they are suppressed by the Ordinary Realm's rules and can only stay at the Martial Realm's tenth stage.
But in terms of true strength, they are definitely not something that the limit of the Martial Realm can contend with. "
Gu Feng said some of the information about the demons. Then, he looked at Qin Shujian with a burning gaze.
"Fort Master Qin can contend with the Undying Demon Lord, your strength must have reached the limit. If you leave the Ordinary Realm, I'm afraid you can immediately break through the Martial Realm's shackles.
Originally, I didn't have much confidence in resisting the Devil Disaster this time.
But with Fort Master Qin's help, our chances of victory have greatly increased! "
These words.
He was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
In order to resist the demons, the branch of the Cheng Yun Trading Company had already contacted many experts. But Gu Feng still didn't feel confident.
Not for any other reason.
Just because the demons were so strong, they could be said to be invincible in the Ordinary Realm.
But now —
Gu Feng looked at Qin Shujian with a gaze filled with burning admiration.
With the addition of the Liang Mountain Fort Master, who could contend with the demons.
Then the success rate of dealing with the Devil Disaster would at least increase by 30%.
This was the benefit of being strong.
One person.
Sometimes, it could determine the success or failure of a matter.
In response to Gu Feng's compliments, Qin Shujian remained calm. He said, "Brother Gu, when do you plan to make a move against the Devil Disaster? The Undying Plains will fall in a short time.
If we delay for too long, the strength of the Devil Disaster will be even more terrifying. "
"That's right!" Speaking up to here, Gu Feng's expression turned solemn. "Since the demons have hit a wall in Fort Master Qin's hands, the Devil Disaster will definitely change its direction and spread to other places.
Other places don't have experts like Fort Master Qin, so the chances of resisting the Devil Disaster are not high.
Once the Devil Disaster devours lives, the Ordinary Realm might really fall. "
"So!"
Gu Feng paused for a moment before continuing.
"This time, I came to Liang Mountain Fort to deliver supplies and to inform Fort Master Qin that the Carrier Trading Company will gather all their forces to attack the Devil Disaster in a day.
When the time comes, I hope Fort Master Qin can help from the side and encircle the demons together. "
"Are you confident?"
"Originally, I was only 50% confident, but now I'm 80% confident."
Gu Feng stretched out his hand and gestured a number. He said confidently.
80% confidence was already very high.
If it weren't for the Devil Disaster's shocking methods, he would even say 100%.
Qin Shujian nodded. "Okay!"
"We will start with Feiye City. When the time comes, Fort Master Qin will seize the opportunity and attack from the front and rear at noon tomorrow." Next, Gu Feng explained the plan in detail.
Qin Shujian listened silently.
He was no longer the bandit leader who only knew his own territory.
Other than the known places in the Brilliant Star Ordinary Realm, there were other realms.
Among them, Feiye City was right next to the Undying Plains.
According to his estimation, since the Undying Evil Lord had retreated from Liang Mountain and Stone Forest, there was a high probability that he would turn his troops around and invade Feiye City.
After that.
Gu Feng immediately got up and left.
Qin Shujian didn't ask him to stay and let him leave.
"Fort Master, the inventory has been completed." In the wooden storehouse, Zheng Fang stood behind Qin Shujian and reported the situation.
In front of them.
There were dozens of big boxes.
There were also many sacks.
Qin Shujian opened one of the boxes and immediately revealed a long blade that was neatly arranged inside.
He casually picked up one of them. It was as light as a feather and then flicked the blade with his finger.
Hum!
The melodious sound of the blade echoed in the storehouse.
"Good blade!" Qin Shujian couldn't help but praise.
A blade is good.
He could tell by the sound of the blade.
And to be able to withstand a flick of his finger, it proved that the material of the blade was extraordinary.
When his hand touched the blade, he also received the system's information.
"Obtained Grade 9 Sharp Weapon 'White Bladed Blade'!"
After that, Qin Shujian put down the white bladed blade in his hand and picked up another long blade. He also received the same information.
Immediately.
He tested the sharpness of the blade and finally got a conclusion.
Although the white bladed blade was a Grade 9 Sharp Weapon, it wasn't the best among the Grade 9 Sharp Weapons. It was even inferior to the Tiger Head Blade he had before.
But in the end.
This was also a graded weapon.
Even a Grade 7 Martial Realm expert with Copper Skin would be broken in front of the white bladed blade.
After checking the weapon.
Qin Shujian then opened the other boxes. Inside were pieces of folded, cyan clothes that looked like martial arts clothes.
When he picked up a piece of clothing, he felt that it was slightly heavy.
He pinched the corner of the cloth with two fingers and slightly rubbed it. He felt that it was a bit heavy. He then pulled it and found that the toughness was not bad.
"Obtained Grade 9 Treasured Armor 'Cyan Clothed Iron Armor'!"
Zheng Fang, who was standing on the side, explained in a timely manner, "These Cyan Clothed Iron Armors look like ordinary clothes on the outside, but there are interlayers on the inside. An inner armor made of iron wire is embedded within.
I've tested it and it can increase the defense of martial artists below Grade 7 Martial Realm by 50% and above Grade 7 Martial Realm by 30%.
And because of the interlayer, this Cyan Clothed Iron Armor also has a certain effect in reducing force. It's not bad among Grade 9 Treasured Armors. "
Grade 7 Martial Realm, Copper Skin Realm.
People who reached this level already had a good defense.
Now that he wore the Cyan Clothed Iron Armor, his defense would definitely increase.
Qin Shujian pressed his palm on a piece of Cyan Clothed Iron Armor and slightly activated his strength. He immediately felt that when the activated strength touched the clothes, a portion of it was quietly offset.
He wasn't completely sure how much it was offset.
But according to his estimation, it wasn't much different from what Zheng Fang said.
"How many White Bladed Sabers and Cyan Clothed Iron Armor are there?"
"After counting, there are 500 White Bladed Sabers and 500 Cyan Clothed Iron Armor." As Zheng Fang spoke, he walked to the other sealed boxes and opened them.
"There are 5000 sets of ordinary clothes in here. They don't have any defensive abilities."
Qin Shujian looked at those boxes.
Inside were cyan clothed clothes that were similar to the Cyan Clothed Iron Armor.
The only difference was.
There was no armor embedded inside, nor was there any defensive ability.
"Apart from that, there's enough food for 1000 people for half a year."
Hearing that.
Qin Shujian was quite satisfied.
The things that Gu Feng brought this time could be considered as solving Cold Mountain Stronghold's urgent problem.
To be honest.
Although Cold Mountain Stronghold was now a Grade 2 Faction, it was still very weak in all aspects. Many people didn't even have a decent weapon in their hands, let alone armor. That was even more of an extravagant hope.
"Take out 3000 sets of ordinary clothes and distribute them. Also, pass down my order. Immediately calculate the losses of each Hall after the Demon Calamity and have the Hall Masters report to me."
"Yes."
While Cold Mountain Stronghold was temporarily stabilized.
On the other side.
The Undead Demon Lord was just as they had guessed. The Demon Calamity didn't stop, but started to invade other places.
Feiye City.
As one of the three thousand six hundred cities of Beiyun Prefecture, it also belonged to the Dazhao Nation.
Therefore.
This place was also heavily guarded. It was considered the top power of the Brilliant Star Ordinary Realm.
However, at this time, everyone in Feiye City was nervous.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, there were many generals going in and out, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.
"A large number of skeletons walked out of the Immortal Plains and have already advanced 30 li towards our Feiye City. Along the way, there were no survivors. Thousands of people were killed by the Demon Calamity. Please make a decision!"
A middle-aged man with a square face, wearing black armor, reported with sweat on his forehead.
Beside him, there were also several generals. They all looked respectfully at the old man in brocade clothes in front of them.
The wrinkles on Zhang Baicheng's face seemed to have deepened, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned the crowd. "The Demon Calamity has only walked out of the Immortal Plains for half a day, but it has already advanced 30 li. It seems that our Feiye City has been peaceful for too long."
"City Lord, please calm down. It's not that we didn't try our best. It's just that there are too many skeletons. There are also many skeletons above the 6th stage of the Martial Realm assisting them.
We have already lost more than a thousand soldiers.
If we don't retreat, we will be in danger of being wiped out. "The middle-aged general's body trembled as he hurriedly bowed and explained.
"Since you have joined our army, you should be prepared to sacrifice your lives for the nation. Otherwise, you will be receiving a salary every day, but abandon the people at the crucial moment. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to our Dazhao Nation?"
Zhang Baicheng heavily slammed his palm down, shattering the table. His calm face became furious.
"Our Feiye City has 13,000 soldiers. Can't we stop a mere Demon Calamity? As generals, you still have the face to come back."
"City Lord, please calm down!"
"City Lord, please calm down!"
Everyone else's forehead was covered in sweat as they hurriedly apologized.
Zhang Baicheng shouted, "Gather all the soldiers and horses. We must stop the Demon Calamity 50 miles away from Feiye City. Those who dare to retreat without my orders will be executed along with their families!"
Hearing this.
The generals' faces turned pale. After looking at each other, they gritted their teeth and lowered their heads. "Understood!"
Then, one of the generals suggested, "City Lord, there are many mutants in the city now. Should we borrow their hands to deal with the Demon Calamity?"
"Mutants don't do anything without benefits. Moreover, their strength isn't high. This is not a good idea for now."
Zhang Baicheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head and waved his hand.
"You may leave!"
"This official will take his leave!"
The generals obeyed and left.
After they left, Zhang Baicheng's old face showed a trace of exhaustion.
When the Demon Calamity appeared, he had sent people to be on guard, afraid that something like today would happen again.
But — —
No matter how well prepared they were.
When the Demon Calamity really came, they would still collapse at the first touch.
Although Feiye City had 13,000 soldiers, Zhang Baicheng was not confident that they could stop the Demon Calamity's footsteps.
As for the mutants.
To be honest, Feiye City could not afford this price now.
Not long after.
Another group of people came to visit the City Lord Mansion.
"City Lord Zhang!"
"Steward Gu!" Seeing the visitor, Zhang Baicheng's face suddenly showed a slight smile.
Gu Feng cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the Demon Calamity is already coming to Feiye City. How is the situation now?"
"Let's talk about this inside!"
Zhang Baicheng did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at the crowd behind Gu Feng and finally said.
Subsequently.
The group went straight into the City Lord Mansion's hall.
After the servants served tea at the right time, Zhang Baicheng looked at Gu Feng and said, "Steward Gu, why don't you introduce these friends to this old man?"
"Sure!"
Gu Feng smiled slightly and pointed to one of them. "This is Chang Sheng, the leader of the Hundred Victory Faction."
"It's an honor to meet you!"
"City Lord Zhang is too polite!"
The middle-aged Chang Sheng politely returned the greeting.
Subsequently.
Gu Feng introduced the others.
This time, he brought a total of 13 people. Among them were forces invited from various places and experts transferred from the Carrier Trading Company.
But without exception.
These people were all experts of Martial Realm Level 10.
Or rather.
Some of them were not only Martial Realm Level 10.
It was only because they entered the Ordinary Realm that they temporarily became Martial Realm Level 10.
After a simple greeting.
Zhang Baicheng looked dignified and said solemnly, "The Demon Calamity came out of the Immortal Plains. In just half a day, it has advanced thirty miles and killed more than a thousand of our soldiers.
If Steward Gu did not come, Feiye City's 13,000 soldiers would not have been able to hold on for long. "
He was not lying.
The Demon Calamity had advanced too quickly. Feiye City did not even have the chance to ask for help from other cities.
Fortunately, the Carrier Trading Company was powerful and could provide timely assistance.
Hearing Zhang Baicheng's words.
Gu Feng's expression was still normal. But the others' expressions changed slightly.
Chang Sheng was also shocked. "The Demon Calamity is so powerful that even the army cannot contend against it."
"The Demon Calamity has the advantage of numbers. Most of the soldiers in the army are not strong. There is nothing we can do about it." Zhang Baicheng shook his head and said.
Gu Feng glanced at Chang Sheng and said loudly, "The Demon Calamity relies on numbers. Now that we have more than ten experts of Martial Realm Level 10 here, we can even fight against the Demon Calamity.
I have already contacted other local forces in the Brilliant Star Ordinary Realm. At noon tomorrow, we will attack the Demon Calamity from other directions. "
At this point, he paused.
Then he looked at Zhang Baicheng and said, "City Lord, I hope you can make the arrangements and work together to eliminate the Demon Calamity."
"Are you confident?"
"Of course."
Seeing Gu Feng's confident expression, Zhang Baicheng could only choose to believe.
When he thought of the person behind the Carrier Trading Company, he was even more confident.
Some of the others who were feeling uneasy also calmed down after hearing Gu Feng's confident words.
In the end.
It was the name of the Carrier Trading Company that helped.
In these people's eyes, Zhang Baicheng's name as the City Lord was not as useful as Gu Feng's name as the manager.
While Feiye City was making arrangements.
Cold Mountain Stronghold was also making preparations.
After the battle of the Demon Calamity, almost two hundred of the original five hundred bandits of Martial Realm Level 6 and above were sacrificed. The strength of each Hall decreased sharply.
Now they had the strength to fight.
Only three hundred or so remained.
As for the new bandits who had not completely transformed into battle strength, they were not considered at all.
When he got this number.
Even Qin Shujian felt a pang of heartache.
He lost a third of his strength in one battle. It was the first time he had encountered such a loss.
This was different from killing players, which was a sure win. Fighting with NPCs was too risky.
But —
There was no room for negotiation in the face of the Demon Calamity.
After losing so much strength, Qin Shujian did not plan to coexist peacefully with the Undead Demon Lord.
After understanding the losses of each Hall.
He immediately distributed the white bladed sabers and green armor.
In a moment.
All of the bandits above the sixth layer of the Basic Realm had changed their tattered clothes and broken broadswords for the same white bladed broadswords and azure armor.
With the Ninth Grade Refined Weapons and Ninth Grade Armor.
The strength of these bandits suddenly increased a lot.
In this way.
They lost a lot of people in the battle of the Demon Calamity, which led to the weakening of their strength, but almost all of it was recovered. Although there was still a gap, it was not big.
In the Loyalty Hall, Qin Shujian's face was gloomy as he said coldly, "The Demon Calamity wreaked havoc on our brothers. We can't just let it go like this."
Zhang Tieniu's voice was also filled with anger. He said in a deep voice, "As long as Master says the word, we will definitely kill those skeletons."
In this battle.
His Loyalty Hall also suffered losses.
These were all brothers who went through life and death together. Now some of them died in the hands of the Demon Calamity.
They could not take this lying down.
Qin Shujian looked around at everyone and said, "Tomorrow at noon, we will attack the Immortal Plains!"
"Master, with our strength, won't it be too risky?" Xu Yuanming braced himself and said under pressure.
He felt that if he spoke like this.
It was very likely that he would suffer the thunderous wrath of the other party.
However.
The wrath that Xu Yuanming expected did not come.
Qin Shujian said calmly and told them about the cooperation between the Cold Mountain Village and the Carrier Trading Company.
Immediately.
No one, including Xu Yuanming, objected.
Since their Master was not impulsive and had long planned, attacking the Immortal Plains was not undesirable.
"Go and get ready!"
In the end, Qin Shujian directly waved his hand and said.
Immediately.
The matter of the various halls passing down orders to make a move on the Undying Plains also thoroughly spread out.
No one objected to Qin Shujian's decision.
After all, the bandits who had been able to go step by step until now did not lack the courage in their hearts.
The attack of the Demon Calamity.
It was already a direct slap to their faces.
This matter.
No matter what, they could not just let it go.
Time passed quickly.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
