Rumble!
An immeasurable army was besieging a city.
A dense rain of arrows was constantly thrown toward the city.
It was just that the Defense Array Formation rose, blocking the rain of arrows outside.
"Kill!"
"Kill! The first person to climb the city wall will be heavily rewarded!"
With a heavy reward, there would naturally be brave men.
Instantly.
The siege became even more intense.
"Block them all. The imperial court's reinforcements will arrive in a flash. The rebels can't break the city!" Fang Jin stood on the city wall and looked down at the dense army below. He raised his arms and shouted to raise the morale.
In his line of sight, he could also see the flags raised by the enemy.
The South Wind Army!
The Fallen Moon Army!
This was the rebel alliance of the South Wind Prefecture and the Fallen Moon Prefecture. There was no need to say how strong they were.
Fortunately.
The imperial court had already made preparations when the rebels gathered their troops.
Therefore, the cities bordering the rebels were heavily guarded and built like iron buckets. They did not give the rebels a chance to break into the city at all.
However —
Fang Jin looked at the dense army. It was impossible to estimate how many people there were. He was not very confident about whether they could hold their ground.
"The Central State Prefecture has not experienced war for thousands of years!"
Suddenly, he sighed with emotion.
The Central State Prefecture had not experienced war for thousands of years.
Many of the soldiers here had not experienced the baptism of war.
Although they had all kinds of resources, in reality, they might not be as good as the elites of other prefectures.
Based on the current situation.
Although Fang Jin was worried, he did not lose his composure.
What he really cared about was the expert behind the two prefectures.
At this moment.
The storage ring on Fang Jin's finger heated up. He immediately took out a communication jade talisman. His divine consciousness landed on it and the information in the jade talisman was extracted.
Bang!
He squeezed his palm hard and the jade talisman suddenly shattered.
However, Fang Jin did not care at all. Instead, he stood there in a daze. He was obviously shocked by the news.
"Seventy million soldiers!"
"The rebels will not stop until they take down the Central State Prefecture."
After receiving this news, his heart was under a great deal of pressure.
Seventy million soldiers!
What kind of concept was this?
Currently, there were less than a million gold coins in the city.
Although it was impossible for all seventy million soldiers to be here, even a third of them would be enough to make him suffer.
"Send a message to the Imperial Court immediately and ask them to send reinforcements as soon as possible!"
Fang Jin shouted after recovering from his shock.
When the deputy general beside him heard this, he immediately accepted the order and left.
Even though he had a city to defend and a million soldiers under his command, Fang Jin did not feel safe at all.
This time.
The rebels had come with the intention of occupying the Central State Prefecture and destroying the Imperial City.
Under such circumstances.
The other party definitely wouldn't leave after a simple fight. It would definitely be a tough battle.
Thinking of this, Fang Jin immediately called for the second deputy general and ordered, "Immediately issue a mission to gather the inhumans in the city to help defend the city. Also, pay close attention to any movements in the city.
Anyone who dares to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble will be killed without exception. "
"This subordinate obeys!"
"Go!"
Fang Jin's expression was solemn as he watched the deputy general's departing figure. Only then did he calm down a little.
Using the Inhumans to defend the city.
It was no longer a secret.
For the Inhumans who were immortal and indestructible, as long as they were given enough benefits, nothing else would be a problem.
As for the unrest in the city.
Those who dared to cause trouble at this time were undoubtedly rebels and traitors.
No matter where this was, it was a serious crime to be beheaded.
Quick!!
A beam of cold light shot down from the sky and directly bombarded the City Defense Array.
The terrifying power caused the array to shake slightly, but it did not shatter.
"Fang Jin, do you dare to fight?!"
At this moment, a person flew into the air and stopped three hundred feet away from the city. His voice directly passed through the City Defense Array and spread throughout the city.
Hearing this.
Fang Jin was unmoved. He sneered and said, "If you want to fight, you can wait until you have the chance to come in."
"I didn't expect you to be such a coward. I was wrong about you."
"Haha, if you have the guts, come up to the city. If I don't beat you until you call me father, then consider it my loss. If you don't dare to come over, then hurry up and get lost. Don't fly so high and be an eyesore to me."
Fang Jin's expression of disdain made the cultivator so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Unless there was something wrong with his brain, he would not leave the city and fight under such circumstances.
Moreover, Fang Jin was certain.
As soon as he left the city, the experts lying in ambush around him might swarm him.
At that time, whether or not he could return alive would be a problem.
The most important thing now was to defend the city. As long as he could defend the city, the other problems would no longer be a problem. However, if he caused the city to fall because of his problems, beheading would be considered a light punishment.
If things went wrong, he might even implicate nine generations of his family.
"Fang Jin, you —"
"You talk too much!" Fang Jin did not wait for the cultivator to finish speaking. He directly took out a bow and an arrow from his storage ring. Then, he drew in a huge amount of spiritual energy and shot a shocking arrow.
The arrow caused the void to buzz.
The cultivator's expression changed. Without thinking, he struck out with his palm. The normal energy palm grew ten times larger in the wind. Then, it collided with the arrow.
Under the powerful force, the arrow was directly shattered.
However, the cultivator was also forced by the arrow and had no choice but to descend.
"Peace and quiet!" Fang Jin put down his arm that was holding the longbow, and a smile appeared on his face.
As the lord of a city, how could he not be proficient in archery?
Unfortunately, the bow in his hand was not a Dao Artifact. Otherwise, the arrow just now would have taught the other party a lesson.
However, even so.
When the others on the city walls saw their city lord shoot down the cultivator with a single arrow, they cheered loudly, "All hail the city lord!"
This arrow also inspired the hearts of the people.
"Fang Jin's strength is not bad." In the rebel army's camp, Du Chengwu saw this scene and smiled faintly.
"No matter what, Fang Jin is a talent personally promoted by the Human Emperor. Although others think it's a waste of his talent to guard a city as a Heavenly Being, it's precisely because the Human Emperor values him.
It won't be easy to destroy this city. "
Zhang Yi shook his head and explained truthfully.
This was one of the gates to the Middle Province Prefecture. Its defenses were naturally strong.
However, if they took down this city …
Then, the army would have a chance to march straight in without encountering too many obstacles.
The Middle Province Prefecture had such a layout.
Perhaps the Human Emperor back then had never thought that there would be a day when an army would be able to reach this step.
Du Chengwu said, "This city protection formation is not simple. It was at least made by a second stage Grandmaster. Even if you and I were to attack, we might not be able to destroy it."
Second stage Grandmaster.
Its power was not something a first stage Grandmaster could compare to.
"Second stage Grandmaster. The Great Zhao's foundation is still as deep as ever." Zhang Yi sighed and then said, "However, in front of our army, even if it's a second stage Grandmaster, what can it do?
If there are no reinforcements within two days, this city will definitely be destroyed! "
"The Great Zhao's reinforcements should be arriving soon."
"Even if the reinforcements arrive, they will only be able to hold on for a few more days. What's the use?"
Zhang Yi was disdainful of this.
This time, the Five Prefectures Army would not give up until they took down the imperial city.
An army of 70 million was already the elite of the Five Prefectures.
In order to ensure the supply of food, other than the storage rings, more food was still being sent over.
This time.
They were already prepared to fight a long war.
After all, the Central State Prefecture was the foundation of the Great Zhao. Thousands of years of accumulation was definitely not simple.
Whether it was Zhang Yi, Du Chengwu, or the other Marquises, they had never thought of taking down the entire Central State Prefecture in such a short time.
What they needed to do was to press on and not give the Great Zhao a chance to breathe.
As long as they could do this, it would be enough.
As for taking down the imperial city, it was just a matter of time.
"Pass down my orders. The army will continue to attack and use up the enemy's stamina. We will not give them any chance to breathe."
"Also, pay close attention to the movements of the Great Zhao's reinforcements. If there are any abnormalities, immediately report to me!"
Zhang Yi ordered calmly.
The general at the side immediately bowed and accepted the order.
Very soon.
Message after message was passed down. Not long later, the army's momentum became even more fierce.
At this time, after the city issued the mission, players had already started to accept it.
These kinds of city defense missions usually had generous rewards.
Especially now that the Great Zhao was facing a life and death situation, they would not be stingy with these resources.
For the same city defense mission, the rewards that Fang Jin gave were at least double the market price.
This way, there were naturally countless players who accepted the mission.
For them.
Although it was easy to die in a city defense mission, as long as they were careful, the probability of dying was very small.
At the very least, compared to the rewards, this little risk was worth taking.
For a time.
A large number of players appeared on the city walls.
With the appearance of these players, they replaced the positions of the exhausted or injured soldiers and became the main force in the fight against the Rebel Thieves.
Looking at the movement on the city walls, Zhang Yi, Du Chengwu, and the others frowned slightly. "Players!?"
From the outside.
There was no difference between the players and the locals.
But in reality, the way these players did things was fundamentally different from the locals.
These differences.
Even if one looked at them from afar, they could tell.
Zhang Yi had guessed that Fang Jin would mobilize players to defend the city. However, when this scene really happened, his expression became more serious.
Players who could not die or be destroyed.
They were indeed the best main force in battle.
However …
Whether it was Nanfeng Prefecture or Fallen Moon Prefecture, it was impossible for them to mobilize players to attack the Middle State Prefecture.
Because there was still a Devil Disaster raging in their headquarters.
On the surface, the various vassals did not seem to care about the Devil Disaster and directly sent troops to attack when the imperial court was suppressing the Devil Disaster.
But in reality …
Whether it was Zhang Yi, Du Chengwu, or the other vassals, it was impossible for them to really ignore the Devil Disaster.
Although they took the opportunity to attack Da Zhao, at the same time, they issued a mission to mobilize players to suppress the spread of the Devil Disaster.
The demons were released by the players.
Then the Devil Disaster would be dealt with by the players.
Even if the players' strength was not enough to completely deal with the Devil Disaster, it was enough to suppress it.
All they needed was a little time.
A little time to destroy Da Zhao.
As long as Da Zhao was destroyed, they could turn around and clean up the Devil Disaster.
The premise was …
At that time, the Devil Disaster had not spread to a certain scale.
In the city.
The teleportation gate flashed continuously.
The first to appear was a middle-aged man in a light golden robe with a dignified appearance.
General Ming Yuan — Dan Hao.
The moment Dan Hao appeared, there was already a general waiting there.
"This subordinate greets General Dan!"
"How is the situation in the city now?" Dan Hao asked in a low voice.
Now, the sounds of killing had already covered the entire city. Even if one was in the teleportation gate, they could still feel the chilling aura.
Hearing this.
That person respectfully reported: "The City Lord is currently on the city wall supervising the battle. Now, he has already mobilized the players in the city to help defend the city. However, there are still some disturbances in the city and he has already sent troops to suppress them."
"Disturbances!" Dan Hao's face was filled with killing intent as he coldly said: "At this time, those who still dare to cause trouble are no different from rebelling!"
At this time.
The teleportation gate flashed again, and many generals with powerful auras appeared.
Seeing this.
Dan Hao ordered: "Chen Quan, Li Ye, take a group of people and kill all the disturbances in the city!"
"This subordinate obeys!"
The two generals cupped their hands and accepted the order. Then, they took a group of soldiers who were teleported over and walked towards the city.
To this.
Dan Hao was not too worried.
Both of them were generals under his command and were experts who had reached the late-stage of the Divine Martial Realm. They were enough to wipe out everything in the city.
Subsequently.
Dan Hao took a step forward and disappeared on the spot.
In the next moment, on the city wall.
Fang Jin seemed to have noticed something. When he turned his head, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Greetings, General Dan!"
"How is the situation now?"
Dan Hao waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be so polite.
In his sight, he could see the dense army in front of him, constantly charging towards the city.
Arrows were densely packed like rain, shooting on the City Defense Formation.
After the formation was activated, it also consumed energy to maintain its operation.
Especially when it was attacked, it would consume more energy.
What the rebels were doing now was also to consume the City Defense Formation's energy. That was why they were constantly attacking to consume it.
Fang Jin said: "Now that we've mobilized the players to defend the city, it won't be a big problem in the short term. However, I'm more worried about Zhang Yi and Du Chengwu."
No matter what, Zhang Yi and Du Chengwu were still dukes of a prefecture.
Those who could be dukes of a prefecture were at least experts above the fifth level of the Celestial Being realm.
Among them, the outstanding ones were like Marquis Beiyun Xiao Chengfeng, who directly advanced to the level of a mighty figure.
"Zhang Yi, Du Chengwu, I'd like to compete with them and see how strong they are!"
A cold light burst out from Dan Hao's eyes.
Especially Zhang Yi, he had already made up his mind to kill him.
As one of the five great generals, although he did not have a good relationship with Luo Jing, General Ping Xi, they were colleagues who had worked together for thousands of years.
Now that Luo Jing had died in Zhang Yi's hands, this grudge must be avenged.
If Zhang Yi had killed Luo Jing fair and square, it would have been fine. Luo Jing could only say that his skills were inferior.
However, the other party used despicable means and joined forces with Shen Hong to kill Luo Jing.
In this way.
Things were different again.
"Zhang Yi, do you dare to come out and fight?"
Dan Hao suddenly flew into the air. His pair of tiger eyes seemed to pierce through the void and landed directly in the middle army tent.
"Dan Hao!" Seeing the person who flew into the air, Zhang Yi and Du Chengwu's expressions changed slightly.
Dan Hao was the leader of the five great generals.
In terms of strength, this General Mingyuan was the most unfathomable.
Subsequently.
Du Chengwu's expression returned to normal. He turned his head to look at Zhang Yi and said with a smile, "Dan Hao is not weak. Marquis Nanfeng, do you have the confidence to deal with him?"
"Hmph! How could a mere Dan Hao be a match for this Marquis!"
Zhang Yi sneered. In the next second, he had already left the tent and arrived above the battlefield.
That soaring killing intent did not affect him in the slightest.
"Dan Hao, Luo Jing is already dead. Are you in a hurry to go down and accompany him?"
"It's just using some despicable means. Zhang Yi, you're really getting worse and worse. No wonder the previous Marquis Nanfeng was unwilling to pass the position to you. It's a waste for the Nanfeng Mansion to fall into your hands."
Dan Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said with a mocking expression.
Hearing this.
Zhang Yi's face suddenly turned ugly. His expression was cold. "The winner takes all. I only care about the result. What's the point of the process?"
Dan Hao's words had already poked his sore spot.
When the previous Marquis Nanfeng was still alive, the candidate for the position was actually not him, but another genius disciple.
As for the end.
Why did the position fall into Zhang Yi's hands? This was a little thought-provoking.
Even if these things didn't need to be deliberately publicized, the upper echelons were very clear about it.
In Zhang Yi's eyes.
What happened back then was a taboo that could not be mentioned.
Now that Dan Hao mentioned it directly in front of him, it was no different from publicly slapping him in the face.
Boom!
Zhang Yi directly struck out with his palm. The palm energy covered the sky as if it could cover the entire city.
A great cultivator at the sixth level of the Heaven Human Realm was close to the level of a Half-Step Almighty.
The moment he struck out, the weather changed.
Dan Hao's expression was normal as he flicked his finger. The vast finger energy shattered the air and collided with the palm energy.
The huge palm energy shook violently and was then penetrated by the finger energy.
Zhang Yi saw this.
He frowned slightly and flicked his sleeve. The space distorted violently, and a terrifying wind erupted and destroyed the finger energy.
It was a short exchange of blows.
Both of them did not move, and it seemed that they were evenly matched.
However, only a few people knew that Zhang Yi had already fallen into a disadvantageous position in the previous exchange.
In front of the tent in the middle army camp.
Du Chengwu stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the void in front of him. He was watching the two of them fight.
"Dan Hao is indeed the leader of the five great generals. He's indeed extraordinary. Zhang Yi might not be a match for him."
It was different from Luo Jing.
Dan Hao's strength was clearly superior.
Moreover, Zhang Yi might not even be able to take down Luo Jing back then. The reason he could kill Luo Jing was because of Shen Hong's help.
However, both of them were experts at the sixth level of the Heaven Human Realm.
Even though there was a gap, it would take a lot of time to reach the level of determining the victor.
Du Chengwu watched the changes in the battle and thought about something in his heart.
At this moment.
Flames filled the sky and turned into a Golden Crow that soared into the sky. Zhang Yi held the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag and activated the six-seal Dao Artifact.
As for Dan Hao.
He held a long spear and spear flowers bloomed, devouring the flames and extinguishing them.
"In the past, the Human Emperor bestowed the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag to let the Zhang family stabilize the position of Marquis Nanfeng and protect the peace of the region. Now, you're using this supreme treasure to commit treason. You deserve death!"
Dan Hao's spear pierced through the void and looked at Zhang Yi with cold eyes.
The Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag was extraordinary. It was a six-seal Dao Artifact.
With this supreme treasure, the other party's strength would increase by at least fifty percent.
Zhang Yi said calmly, "The Human Emperor is dead. The Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag belongs to the Zhang family and has nothing to do with the Great Zhao Dynasty. Today, I'll let you perish under my Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag."
"Arrogant."
Boom!
The battle between the two caused a huge commotion. Be it Dan Hao or Zhang Yi, their strength had reached the sixth level of the Heaven Human Realm and was close to the level of an Almighty.
Between them, Dan Hao's strength was obviously stronger and was already at the peak of the sixth level of the Heaven Human Realm. He was a half-step Almighty who was close to the Almighty realm.
Even if Zhang Yi had the Burning Mountain Raging Flame Flag, he did not have much of an advantage.
On the other hand, Dan Hao.
His spear techniques were wide open and seemed to sweep across the world. He used offense as defense and neutralized all of Zhang Yi's attacks.
As the Bright Vision General, he had followed the Human Emperor to war.
Dan Hao's Spear Art was something he had comprehended from countless battles.
This was a true move to kill the enemy without any fanciful moves. It was all about simplifying the complicated and using the smallest amount of strength to unleash the greatest effect.
On the city wall.
Fang Jin was also watching the battle.
Now that Dan Hao had arrived with a large number of reinforcements, the situation in the city eased a lot.
To him, the main problem now was the outcome of the battle between Dan Hao and Zhang Yi.
If Dan Hao won, the morale of the enemy would definitely be low.
However, if Dan Hao lost, things would be very troublesome.
However, based on Fang Jin's understanding of Dan Hao, this Bright Vision General rarely lost. Since he dared to challenge Zhang Yi so openly, he must have absolute confidence.
Moreover, from the start of the battle until now.
Dan Hao did not fall into a disadvantage and even vaguely had the upper hand.
This allowed Fang Jin to have a deeper understanding of his strength.
"The probability of Dan Hao losing this battle is not high. What we need to do now is to prevent others from interfering and launching sneak attacks."
On the surface, Fang Jin's expression was calm, but his thoughts were lively.
If no one interfered, the probability of Zhang Yi losing was very high.
If someone interfered.
Then the problem would be hard to say.
Thinking to there, he moved his gaze away from the battle and looked at the rebel army's tent.
Over there, Du Chengwu also sensed the gazes that were focused on him. Thus, he shifted his gaze and met the gaze of the other party.
Du Chengwu!
Fang Jin's heart froze and he immediately became vigilant.
Fallen Moon Marquis Du Chengwu.
This person's strength was also unfathomable. As a Marquis, he was not much weaker than Zhang Yi.
If the other party wanted to interfere, then he would.
Then the problem would be much more serious.
Just as Fang Jin was thinking to himself, the situation of the battle was already changing rapidly.
A long spear pierced out with the power to shatter mountains and split the earth. The Golden Crow that was hundreds of feet tall let out a high-pitched cry, but in the end, it disappeared into the void under this spear.
