Chapter 329, the army is coming
On the distant plain, the army rushed rapidly and approached Qingfeng City.
In the center of the army, above the luxurious carriage and horse, a middle-aged man with a big belly and greasy appearance showed a sad face.
This middle-aged uncle is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Empire - Prince Eight.
The Eight Princes have a talent for cultivation, are cowardly and have no achievements in their lives, which is why he has lived to this day.
It is precisely because of his cowardice that the Emperor spared his life, threw him in the corner of the empire, and spent the rest of his life in peace.
Unfortunately, after the secret realm of Fire Mountain was exposed, the Emperor was already determined to recover Nanshan County, but due to the past achievements of the Zhenshan Palace, the Emperor could not do too tough.
For this reason, the Emperor secretly sent royal guards to secretly assist the eight princes, wanting to unify Guangling County first and then find a way to attack Nanshan County.
With the help of the guards, the Eight Princes have taken down most of Guangling County in more than a year, leaving only Qingfeng City.
The Eight Princes didn't want to break up with Qingfeng City. After all, Qingfeng City is not weak, and the two strong confrontations will definitely lead to a loss. But now the news of the secret realm has been exposed, and the Emperor has secretly ordered to take Qingfeng City as soon as possible.
The Eight Princes had no choice but to assemble elite troops and prepare to use troops against Qingfeng City.
The elite soldiers of the Prince's Mansion were only more than 100,000. The other cutting-edge combat powers were actually pretended to be the Imperial Guards. The person responsible for commanding these guards was Qin Guang, the deputy commander of the Guards.
The imperial army of the Celestial Empire was divided into three categories: direct subordinates to the royal family, direct subordinates to the empire, and private soldiers of the nobles.
Among the three categories, the army directly under the royal family is undoubtedly the most powerful combat power. However, these armies are under the royal family and their responsibilities are to protect the majesty of the royal family. They rarely participate in major wars and have few military achievements, so they naturally have no reputation.
There were three troops under the royal family in the entire Celestial Empire, namely the Royal Guard, the Imperial Guard, and the Guard.
The guards are the weakest, but the number of people is the most; the imperial guards are only responsible for the escorts of the imperial capital, and their strength is slightly stronger than the guards; the Royal Guards are the strongest, but the number of people is the most powerful, and the Royal Guards are the true cutting-edge combat power, and can be selected as the Royal Guards.
People will never be less powerful than the Tianwu Realm combat power.
Mu Chen's father, Mu Yuan, was born in the Royal Guard. Even Mu Chen's father was not in the top ten in the Royal Guard.
The Guard is an army directly under the Emperor. Although the combat power is the weakest among the three, it is also stronger than many imperial armies.
Even the Qianlong Army in the past dared not speak out, and could defeat the guards head-on.
With the help of the Guards, it was only a matter of time before the Eight Princes wanted to unify Guangling County.
At this time, the Eight Princess showed concern and said to Qin Guang: "Master Qin, my son hasn't heard from him for so long. Has something happened?"
"The prince doesn't have to worry. No matter what the prince says, he is all from the royal family. Even if the nobles in Qingfeng City are bold, they will not dare to do anything to him."
Prince Eight: "The Qin Commander means...it is my son, he has been arrested."
Qin Guang sneered and said, "Hasn't the prince sent someone to deliver the message? It's been several days, but the news has been sent back."
"No...no."
"Since there isn't it, the result...isn't it obvious."
The secret spies sent to Qingfeng City have already set out. According to their route, they should have arrived in Qingfeng City long ago, but now there is no news, and there is only one answer, and they have been wiped out.
Even the spies sent out were destroyed. Shangguan Yuntao's conspicuous target had long been controlled by someone.
However, Shangguan Yuntao is a royal family member after all, and Qingfeng City should not do anything to him. He said that Shangguan Yuntao can still be used as a hostage.
The Eight Princess had a pale face. Shangguan Yuntao was his favorite son. If Qingfeng City used Shangguan Yuntao as a hostage, what should he do?
After all, Qin Guang is the Emperor's person and will not listen to him at all. Once Shangguan Yuntao hinders the Emperor's orders, Qin Guang naturally will not care about Shangguan Yuntao's life or death.
At this moment, the guards outside the door came in and said, "Prince, there is a secret spy outside the door asking for a visit and said there is something important."
"Quick...let him in."
The spy who came in was the person sent by the Eight Prince to Qingfeng City to pick up Shangguan Yuntao. At this time, he came back alone.
The Eight Princess refused to give up and said, "My son...is there any news?"
The spy didn't say anything, but just handed over a letter and a jade pendant.
The content of the letter is a secret letter from a secret spy in Qingfeng City. The letter states that Shangguan Yuntao has been caught by the Shui family. This jade pendant is Shangguan Yuntao's personal belonging.
The Eight Prince held the jade pendant tightly and said angrily: "Shui Qianzhou! He dared to capture this prince's prince. He is so brave. I will definitely not die well."
"Master Qin... I want you to rescue my son and kill the entire Shui family."
"Haha, Prince, don't worry, the entire Qingfeng City has been sealed, and the Water Family cannot fly. If the Jiang Family had not been alert, the Jiang Family would not have escaped from Qingfeng City."
Qin Guang sneered in his heart and did not take it seriously. If a cowardly prince's prince really hindered his plan, he would not care.
Although the Eight Princes were the commander of the three armies, the Qin commander did not have to listen to him at critical moments.
At this time, sitting in the middle of the carriage, a black-haired old man said, "How long will it take to arrive in Qingfeng City? Lei Zhen has sent back the news that the secret realm in Qingfeng City is a top-notch secret realm, which is an extremely rare treasure land.
, there must be many secrets hidden inside, so it is better to master them as soon as possible."
The secret realm is also full of good intentions. Some secret realms destroyed by the power of natural disasters are not only full of dangers, but also no good things can be obtained. Such a secret realm is called a lower-level secret realm.
Like the Qingmu Demon Realm, it not only has a vast territory and is well preserved, but also contains many inherited secret realms, which are the best secret realms.
If you can master a top-level secret realm, it will be an unimaginable foundation for any force. Since Lei Zhen sent back the news that Qingfeng City had a top-level secret realm, Lei Yan Sect immediately sent many masters to support it.
The royal family also sent a large number of troops to capture Qingfeng City in one fell swoop.
If Qingfeng City had not been too far from the imperial capital, the royal family would have appointed the Royal Guard directly.
The troops gathered this time were 350,000, and the eight princes were elite, only 100,000, and the remaining nearly 200,000 combat power were all means by the imperial royal family, which shows the royal family's determination to conquer Qingfeng City.
In this war, the highest commanders were three, the Eight Princes, Qin Guang, and Elder Liu of Lei Yanzong.
Elder Liu is Master Lei Zhen and the real power elder of Lei Yan Sect.
In addition to the sect leader, the most powerful group of the Supreme Elders is the Supreme Elders Group. Because the Lei Yan Sect has a long history, there are nine Supreme Elders alone, and they are all hidden sect forces and are called the Thunder Nine Elders.
These nine Supreme Elders have all reached the Void Soul Realm, and their combat power is comparable to that of cultivators in the Soul Realm. They are truly immortals. It is easy to call the wind and rain. In their eyes, warriors in the Divine Martial Realm are just native chickens and tiles.
Elder Liu is a powerful general under the command of the Nine Elders of Thunder. He has reached the middle stage of the Xu Dan Realm and is responsible for this secret realm exploration.
Qin Guang said respectfully: "Return to Elder Liu, at our current marching speed, one day, we can reach Qingfeng City. Although Qingfeng City is not weak, facing our army, we can persist for a week at most. After one week, the secret realm
It will be in my hands.”
When Elder Liu heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, since our sect has cooperated with the royal family, let me go to this secret adventure. If you find anything, I will not take it alone."
"Thank you, Elder Liu for understanding. Your Majesty's order and exploration of the secret realm, Elder Liu can be fully responsible. We all listen to Elder Liu's orders."
Although the Hidden Sect has strong cutting-edge combat power, their weaknesses are also very obvious, so there are few people.
Exploring the secret realm is a dangerous task. Elder Liu is naturally willing to explore the way with cannon fodder.
The reason why the Hidden Sect unites with mortal forces is that it is because it has its connections and army. No matter how powerful a person is, it cannot withstand the tactics of the sea of people. After all, many ants can bite the elephant to death.
If you hide in the secret realm space, it is not a good thing to have too many people. After all, resources are limited, so there are not many disciples of the Hidden Sect.
Once the hidden sect is born, there will be no enough manpower, it will become their limit. If you want to compete for the world, you will not be able to do so without enough manpower.
