Chapter 166 The Jiayu Pass is broken and the famous general dies

"I will only give you half the time to burn the incense."

Zhu Xiongying said in a condensed voice.

At this time, His Majesty the Archmage Emperor felt very unhappy.

It is clear that I have broken through to the Qitian realm, but I am unable to move. I have to spend several days to stabilize my realm. Otherwise, there will be serious sequelae.

This reminded Zhu Xiongying of the fairy tale novels he had read in the past, and he cursed them a thousand times in his heart.

In those novels, the sky exploded instantly after the breakthrough, but in my case, the moment of breakthrough was the weakest point. It was completely different from the settings in those novels, and I felt that I had been deceived.

Han Buli was slightly startled.

Half a stick of incense?

How can I describe my experience of more than half a month with only half a stick of incense?

However, the emperor's order is greater than the sky, so half a stick of incense can only be half a stick of incense.

Han Buli thought quickly in his mind, summarized all the key information of this trip, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I am on this trip..."

Thinking of what he had experienced in the past half month or so, Han Buli couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

"The land of Western Europe is filled with darkness."

Then, Han Buli quickly told everything he had experienced.

Let’s roughly summarize.

There is indeed a power beyond mortals in Western Europe, and this power has become widespread, and the entire land of Western Europe is ruled by this power with terror.

The former Roman Empire had been completely controlled by this power.

All the major principalities also surrendered to this power and were played with like dolls on strings.

There is a religion called "Red Moon" that controls everything. The Archbishop of Red Moon is the current ruler of Western Europe and is known as the Supreme Father.

That’s why it’s called ‘dark’.

It's because after the emergence of the Red Moon Religion, it was completely indifferent.

For example, cutting out the liver of a person's heart to make medicine is the most common and commonplace thing.

Not to mention other things, they often build mass graves and bury them alive, saying they want to sacrifice to the red moon.

Darkness and terror enveloped every place in Western Europe.

So much so that throughout Western Europe, the air is filled with the smell of blood all year round, and even the sun and moon are hazy with a layer of blood mist.

After arriving at the border of Western Europe from Han Buli, we stayed for seven days in total.

In these seven days, Han Buli did some calculations and found that he encountered a total of seventeen killing attempts and was seriously injured eight times. If it weren't for the elixir given by His Majesty the Emperor to protect himself, he would have been finished long ago.

Han Buli condensed the key points of these experiences and only spent 1/4 of the time of burning incense to tell them. He spoke very quickly and not very carefully.

But for Zhu Xiongying, a general understanding is enough.

His original purpose was to determine the current situation in Europe.

In the original historical trajectory, Europe now should belong to the late Middle Ages. If nothing unexpected happens, the Industrial Revolution will soon begin.

But judging from the news Han Buli brought back this time.

If there is no accident, then there must be an accident.

Because of the emergence of this mysterious force in Europe, and the emergence of that bullshit Red Moon Sect, Europe’s current industrial revolution, let alone the Industrial Revolution, has not even started, and its economic construction has gone back thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, I have received another piece of news."

After Han Buli finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

This news, in his opinion, is extremely meaningful to the current Ming Dynasty.

"explain."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Han Buli. Although this trip to Western Europe was dangerous, the boy seemed to have gained quite a lot.

I thought that since I had opened up this intelligence line in Europe, I might as well continue to explore it. Europe would be captured sooner or later anyway, so it would be beneficial to collect more intelligence.

There is one thing we should pay attention to, and that is safety.

Even Han Buli almost died in Western Europe. If someone else had been there, the death rate would probably not be lower.

"One of the twelve bishops of the Red Moon Sect is the national advisor of the Timur Empire."

Han Buli said in a deep voice.

This news was obtained at the cost of almost losing his life, and it was also the most valuable news he considered.

'really.'

Zhu Xiongying suddenly became a little interested in the Red Moon Archbishop.

This guy sent his own bishop to the Timurid Empire to help Timur's cripples unify Central Asia, and then instigated the cripples to cause trouble in East Asia. This attitude was obviously to develop his Red Moon cause to the world.

The strange thing that trapped the Sapphire army in the Gobi was probably the work of this bishop.

"You go and rest first, I have my own arrangements."

Zhu Xiongying spoke calmly.

"yes."

Han Buli bowed and saluted, then quickly retreated.

The past half month or so has been like a nightmare to him. Now whenever he opens his eyes, he feels like he is still in that dark and bloody place.

In comparison, Ming Dynasty is simply a paradise on earth.

And next to the Qiankun Shifting Formation.

Zhu Xiongying originally wanted to go to the Forbidden City again and ask Lao Zhu and A Biao to explain something.

His brows furrowed fiercely.

"Faster than expected."

Zhu Xiongying originally estimated that this clone could sustain one stick of incense, but now it seems that it cannot even sustain one stick of incense.

The figure turned into a wisp of smoke on the spot and disappeared.

Jiangxi Chief Minister's Department, 721 Mineral Deposits.

The light that was originally surrounding Zhu Xiongying's body has dissipated. Inside the large cave, Zhu Xiongying is sitting cross-legged in mid-air. He frowns slightly, takes a deep breath, and closes his eyes again.

He decided that instead of being distracted and thinking about other things during this qualified period, it would be better to concentrate on shaping this new world in his body, so that he could end the retreat earlier.

Zhu Xiongying's spiritual consciousness has clearly seen the current situation in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Indeed, by all accounts, the current problem is terrible.

But persisting for two days is not a big problem.

As for Zhu Xiongying, all he wants is these two days, which is enough.

………………

The eighth day of May, early morning.

Jiayuguan, as Timur was crippled and issued the military order to win Jiayuguan at all costs, the coach Heita also fell into a state of madness.

After all, according to the lame man's order, if Jiayuguan cannot be captured on the 8th, everyone will have to flee with it, and his own head will also be chopped off.

You can get by with other things.

But this is a life-related matter, and there is nothing to be careless about. Naturally, you have to fight tooth and nail.

Therefore, under the madness of the Black Tower, Timur's army of millions rushed forward like crazy.

Of course, there are also the blessings of some strange powers. The millions of Timur troops are all the same as the previous vanguard army, as if they have activated energy plug-ins.

Above the city gate.

Geng Bingwen looked at the attacking army, frowned and said in a solemn voice.

"Our army cannot hold on any longer."

When Zhu Kai next to him heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Even Geng Bingwen said he couldn't hold on anymore, so of course he couldn't hold on anymore.

"Old General, since Lan Yu is almost here, we..."

Zhu Kai thought of Lan Yu who was already on the road, so he couldn't help but tentatively exit the door, hoping to get some chance back.

"No need to wait, you will die if you come."

"Your Highness, please send a flying letter to Lan Yu immediately so that he does not have to rush to Jiayuguan Pass and detour outside the pass to wait for the opportunity. In addition, give him the location of the nearest granary so that he can replenish the military rations."

Geng Bingwen made an immediate decision.
