Over the next few days, the entire Xianyang Palace was on high alert.
According to Xu Fu's calculations, there were a total of seven locations for the demon god pillars to descend. These seven locations were located within the seven palaces of Xianyang Palace. As mentioned before, whenever Qin Shihuang conquered the world, he would build a palace identical to the royal palace of that country outside of Xianyang Palace every time he destroyed a country. After the six countries were destroyed, Xianyang Palace was built with six cultivators. Thus, Xianyang Palace now had a total of seven palaces.
And the locations where the demon god pillars would descend happened to be within these seven palaces.
Xianyang Palace was simply too big, and it was as big as a city. If Xu Fu hadn't calculated where the demon god pillars would descend, once the enemy suddenly attacked, even with Great Qin's peak strength, they would have been caught off guard. When that time came, they would have been thrown into chaos, and they wouldn't have been able to provide reinforcements in time. At that time, Xianyang Palace would have been destroyed.
Fortunately, after Xu Fu calculated the locations of the demon god pillars, they had a chance to make preparations first. Thus, on the second day after Qin Shihuang sent Ying Yinman away, he immediately gathered Meng Tian, Zhang Han, Wang Ben, and the other generals to arrange the troops.
From the Warring States period to conquering the world, Great Qin had fought for decades and produced countless famous generals. The most famous of them were the Killing God Bai Qi and the Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian. Both of them were legendary figures who were almost undefeatable, and they were people who were praised to the heavens.
It was a pity that Bai Qi had died many years ago during Qin Shihuang's reign. Although Wang Jian was the greatest contributor to Qin Shihuang's destruction of the six countries, he also retired and returned to his hometown after the unification of the world. Thus, these two famous generals of Qin could not appear here.
However, Meng Tian and Wang Ben were outstanding generals as well, so they were highly regarded by Qin Shihuang. As the last general of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han was slightly younger than the two of them, but he had already begun to display the bearing of a famous general.
The three of them, along with the other generals, discussed how to fight against the Demon God Pillars, from how to set up an ambush, to how to gain the greatest victory with the least casualties, etc. Everyone discussed for eight to ten hours in the imperial court. Then, they practiced setting up the formation and finally decided on it.
Just this matter alone took them two full days to finally settle.
There were seven halls in Xianyang Palace. The main hall was personally guarded by Qin Shihuang. Naturally, Tang Hao was here as well. On the other hand, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and Zhang Han each led around a hundred Imperial Guards and two thousand elite soldiers to guard the halls in the east, south, and west.
The elite soldiers were Great Qin's Cavalrymen, and all of them were fully armed. Almost all of them were veterans who had survived from conquering the Six Nations. Perhaps their individual battle power was not outstanding, but together, they had an unstoppable might.
The Praetorian Guards were equivalent to martial arts masters. Their individual combat abilities were outstanding. In terms of close combat, many of them were at the same level as Tang Hao … Of course, this was before Tang Hao used the rune card and activated his Divine Power.
Apart from that, Qin Shihuang had specially divided the twelve Golden Men into six groups. Each palace had two Golden Men, so that they could at least ensure that there were experts who could fight against the demon god pillars.
In fact, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and the other generals should not be underestimated. In terms of combat ability, even if they were placed in the era of the Three Kingdoms, they would still be top-notch experts. Their combat ability was at least above 90, and they were not much weaker than the twelve Golden Men. However, they were more outstanding in terms of military talent. If the demon god pillars invaded with a large number of soldiers, they would be needed to command the scene. Therefore, the task of resisting the demon god pillars could only be handed over to the Golden Men.
As for the remaining three palaces, although their military talent was slightly inferior, they had more soldiers.
Although the main hall of Xianyang Palace was not guarded by the Golden Men and had no famous generals to lead them, there was Qin Shihuang himself, Tang Hao, Yu Ji, a hidden Gundam, and Xu Fu and a group of royal warlocks. Not only was the defense not weak, it was even stronger.
"This is the power of Great Qin, how is it?"
After the formation was set up, Qin Shihuang rode on the Immortal Carriage and flew above Xianyang Palace. Even though it was only a few meters away from the red clouds in the sky, he opened his arms and asked loudly.
"Very good, very powerful!"
Beside him, Tang Hao nodded, a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
Yes, he was moved.
It might be hard for those who were not there to understand, but when Qin Shihuang issued orders one by one, the soldiers all responded. Even though they knew that the enemy this time was not human, but a powerful life form that far surpassed human beings, the scene of them donning their armor and attacking with the conviction of victory was enough to shock anyone's heart.
He was moved by the strength of the Qin army, and was also moved by the faith of their unity.
At this time, the army of Great Qin and the emperor were of one mind. Qin Shihuang trusted his soldiers, and the soldiers had the confidence to live up to this trust. Then, everyone gathered together to guard the last line of defense of human reason.
This place, was the Great Wall of human reason!
"Now, we just have to wait for our enemy to arrive." Qin Shihuang smiled and looked up at the red clouds in the sky. The anger he had when he first saw them was no longer there, and there was even a trace of disdain in his eyes. He said loudly, "The demon god pillars cannot destroy my Great Qin cavalry, and these red clouds cannot cover the sky!"
…
The sun rose, the sun set, and night fell. The sun rose.
Time passed bit by bit, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the demon god pillars to arrive. For the soldiers of Great Qin, although the enemy they were facing was different, it was no different from the wars they had experienced in the past. Thus, everyone was very calm, and they were already used to this kind of thing.
On the contrary, it was Tang Hao who could not calm down.
It was no wonder. Ever since he joined the chatroom, Tang Hao had come into contact with many powerful people, such as Amethyst, Yonglin, Aresta, Herde, and Bakar. Which one of them was not stronger than the demon god pillars? Even if all seven demon god pillars came together, they could not do anything to any one of them. In theory, he should be very calm.
But —
He had never exchanged blows with any of these people before. Even Herder had never shown any hostility toward him. Whether an ultimate expert was hostile or friendly toward you, the two feelings were completely different.
The demon god pillars were weaker than these people, but they would not rest until one of them was dead.
Moreover, this was not Tang Hao's battle alone. It was a battle of the elites of Great Qin. Tens of thousands of soldiers were fighting against the destroyer of human reason. This was the first time he had experienced such a grand scene.
Of course, this was nothing to be afraid of. After personally witnessing the power and momentum of the Great Qin Cavalry, he firmly believed that in front of the most ancient empire in the east, even if all seven demon god pillars came together, they would not be able to return in the end. They would definitely be the victors!
However, that uncontrollable excitement could not be calmed down …
"Ah, this feeling is like watching a movie for the first time, or being held by a cute girl for the first time … Ah, wait, I'll go wash my face and calm down …"
Tang Hao rubbed his hands and stood up from the carriage.
Boom!
Just at this moment, a loud sound came from the sky.
Tang Hao did not have time to wash his hands. He raised his head and saw that the red cloud in the sky had already split open. Countless red clouds shot towards the ground like meteors.
And the direction they were flying towards was where the seven demon god pillars had descended!
These red clouds landed on the ground and did not dissipate. Instead, they condensed into bodies of flesh and blood. Moreover, they looked very strange. They looked like humans but not humans, yet they were all different. Some monsters had horns on their heads, some had long tails, and some had two heads and four arms. It was unknown what they were.
But to the Qin army, these were not important.
Regardless of whether they were humans or ghosts, since they stood in the way of Great Qin's cavalry, there was only one thing they could do — kill!
"Great Qin's cavalry, fear nothing! Kill! "
Great General Meng Tian held his halberd and shouted loudly.
"Kill!" In an instant, thousands of cavalrymen responded and charged out.
The monsters formed from the red clouds had appeared in advance to protect the demon god pillars. In order to allow the demon god pillars to descend into this era safely, they had to clear out all threats around them and all living things that could move. But now, before they could do anything, they had been killed by Great Qin's cavalry.
In an instant, countless bodies were torn apart, and countless monsters were trampled into meat paste before they could fully form.
Those that were slightly better only suffered light injuries, and their injured bodies recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, those monsters that had been torn to pieces did not have this chance. They turned into red mist and disappeared into the air.
Kill them!
Meng Tian's heart sank when he saw that those monsters had the ability to recover, but when he saw even more monsters turn into mist and disappear, he immediately became spirited.
Indeed, the enemy was difficult to deal with. If they did not suffer a heavy blow, it was as if they were not injured at all. However, it was not that they could not die. Since they could die, there was nothing to be afraid of. It was just a matter of spending a bit more effort.
"Kill!!!" Meng Tian roared as he stabbed out with his halberd, piercing through two monsters in front of him and skewered them before smashing them to the ground and shattering!
The same scene happened in the other five palaces.
Even though there were differences in the talent of the generals, the red cloud monsters did not have as many thoughts as humans, and they did not know how to use military tactics. They were just brainless and reckless. Facing such enemies, there was not much difference between a 90% talent and a 60% talent general. As long as they could act as one, they would be able to unleash 100% of their battle power.
Great Qin's cavalry's killing power was invincible in this era!
The Immortal Imperial Carriage soared into the air. Tang Hao stood on the carriage and looked at the battlefield around him. Hearing the earth-shaking battle cries, he felt extremely excited.
Every man had a dream of galloping on the battlefield. Donning battle armor, galloping on a horse, and mercilessly killing the enemy. Tang Hao was no exception. Even though when he grew up, he would feel that such a dream was just a youthful chuunibyou syndrome, but … when such a battlefield really appeared in front of him, when the countless battle cries sounded like beating drums, his chuunibyou dream seemed to have been awakened, and he felt his blood boiling.
If he did not kill now, when would he?
"I will send you down!"
Qin Shihuang waved his hand, and a strand of Immortal Qi wrapped around Tang Hao's body, sending him down to the ground.
When he stood still, Tang Hao had already drawn the Penglai Jade Sword and casually chopped a monster to the ground. His sword contained spiritual and divine power, and it was more lethal than Great Qin's cavalry. With just one chop, the monster disappeared.
Tang Hao was so excited that he could not help but imitate the Qin soldiers, raising his sword and shouting.
"Great Qin is number one in the world! Kill!! "
Tang Hao was not acting alone. Even though there were no famous generals or golden men in the main palace of Xianyang Palace, there were hundreds of imperial guards in the palace. When the monsters fell, these imperial guards immediately joined the battle.
They were very strong.
Back when Tang Hao had first come to Great Qin, he had been by Emperor Qin's side, and the four Imperial Guards who had made him feel threatened were here. The other Imperial Guards were about the same level as them. In other words, all of the soldiers here were as strong as Tang Hao.
Of course, after Tang Hao's divine power was activated, his battle prowess had at least doubled. It was no longer appropriate to use him as a measurement of battle prowess. Moreover, without divine power, the Imperial Guards would not be able to kill these monsters as easily as Tang Hao.
At this moment, when they saw Tang Hao's unstoppable killing and were shocked by his shout, the imperial guards could not help but shout.
"Great Qin is number one in the world! Kill! "
Emotions were contagious. When the shouts from below reached Qin Shihuang's ears, he could not help but feel his blood boil. Ever since the world was unified, he had not felt such emotions in a long time. He immediately raised the Taia Sword.
"Great Qin is number one in the world! Kill!!! "
Qin Shihuang shouted this sentence with his immortal power. His voice reverberated in all directions, reaching every corner of Xianyang Palace. All the soldiers who heard it were invigorated. Even the emperor was cheering them on, so what reason did they have not to fight even more valiantly?
"Great Qin is number one in the world! Kill! "
Immediately, some soldiers followed suit and shouted.
Even though the phrase "Great Qin's cavalry is fearless" sounded domineering, fearless meant that there might be others stronger than them. They were just not afraid, so it did not feel domineering enough.
However, if they were number one in the world, then they were truly the strongest.
That was domineering!
That's right, that was in line with the reputation of the Great Qin cavalry.
"Great Qin is number one in the world!"
"Great Qin is number one in the world!"
"Great Qin is number one in the world!"
"Kill!!!"
In the blink of an eye, all the generals and soldiers shouted this slogan in unison. The whole Xianyang Palace was boiling with excitement. The horses neighed loudly and the valiant generals were unparalleled. The generals and soldiers stabbed into the crowd of monsters like a sharp blade. They were unstoppable.
This was the most elite soldiers of Great Qin, the unparalleled army in the world!
However, there were still too many monsters formed by the red clouds. The other palaces were still fine, as they had more people and were commanded by famous generals, suppressing the attacks of the monsters. However, at the main palace of Xianyang Palace, the combat power of the hundreds of Imperial Guards was limited. No matter how powerful the Imperial Guards were, they could not handle so many monsters. Gradually, they began to show signs of weakness.
Tang Hao's blood was boiling. He did not notice it at first, but when he realized that many Imperial Guards were surrounded by monsters, his blood finally cooled down. He scolded himself for being stupid and immediately took out his talisman card.
How stupid! He could have used the talisman card, so why did he use his sword to attack?
This was too inefficient!
"Everyone, don't panic. I, Tang Ritian, am here!"
In the past, Tang Hao felt that it was shameful to shout the name Tang Ritian, but at this moment, it was extremely domineering.
As soon as he shouted, the talisman card streaked across and instantly turned into countless flying daggers.
Then, rune cards turned into wind, rune cards turned into fire, rune cards turned into puppets, some rune cards turned into black butterflies, and some rune cards stimulated pure spiritual power, sweeping toward the red cloud monsters like a storm.
The siege of the Imperial Guards was instantly broken!
Although the number of monsters was still overwhelming, Tang Hao had brought too many talisman cards. There were hundreds of them, and each of them had the ability to kill in a large area. At this moment, he threw out dozens of talisman cards at once, and these monsters were completely slaughtered.
At the same time, after Qin Shihuang pulled out the Tai-Ah Sword, he did not just stand by and watch. Instead, he drove the Immortal Imperial Carriage and killed his way into the red clouds.
He knew that if he did not deal with the red clouds, he would not be able to kill the monsters.
If it was before, he might not be able to do anything to the red clouds, but the situation was different now. With so many monsters landing on the ground, the area of the red clouds had shrunk by more than half, and it was within his range to deal with.
A moment later, Tang Hao heard movement from above and looked up.
Countless rays of sword light slashed outwards, and the layers of red clouds were cut apart like tofu, revealing Qin Shihuang's figure. His jade crown was broken, and his imperial robe was torn. His hair was disheveled, but he did not look the slightest bit disheveled. Instead, he had an unparalleled aura.
Just as the red clouds tried to gather again, he stretched out his hand, as if he had caught something.
"I, Qin Shihuang!"
Qin Shihuang shouted, and his left hand tossed upwards. The object was like a nucleus, and in the next moment, the Tai-Ah Sword slashed down, directly splitting it into two.
"I am the master of this world!"
As the nucleus shattered, the red clouds in the sky began to disintegrate, and following Qin Shihuang's words, it looked like they were scared off by him.
In the blink of an eye, the red clouds in the sky dissipated, and only Qin Shihuang stood high up in the sky.
As if it was a symbol of that sentence.
He was the master of this world.
Seeing this scene, even Tang Hao was stunned.
Without a doubt, Qin Shihuang had entered the half-immortal realm!
In terms of battle power, he was probably not inferior to immortals.
Boom!!!
As the red clouds dissipated, suddenly, the sky shook again, and seven rays of light descended from the sky. Each ray of light brought with it a strange and unfathomable energy. It was like looking at flowers through the fog, as if they were connected to the other side of time and space.
Tang Hao took a deep breath, and gripped the talisman card in his hand tightly.
Qin Shihuang also looked up at the clouds, frowning in silence.
Both of them knew that … the demon god pillars had arrived!
