Chapter 329 The Sudden Appearance of Buddhism

On the third day after taking over Hanye City, Mu Yi enslaved the captured orcs and transformed them into a slave army. The orc slaves who had been almost wiped out in the previous siege were now fully replenished, with three thousand more than before.

A legion with hundreds of craftsmen and military camp officers moved into Hanye City.

After Mu Yi and others verified the other party's identity and the authenticity of the military order, they received a new military order.

"Military order: Defend Hanye City for fifteen days and cooperate with the craftsmen to build the secret piles!"

"Mu Yi will be the commander-in-chief of the battle, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will fully cooperate with Mu Yi's actions!"

"Send someone to hand over Qiu Shuang City to the Human Kingdom, and let the Human Kingdom's garrison enter Qiu Shuang City!"

"This order..." Mu Yi frowned as he looked at the latest military order.

He understood what Qiu Shuangcheng meant by giving up. This was decided at the very beginning, and he had discussed this matter with Duke Iron Lion before.

However, in theory, Hanye City should have the same function as Qiu Shuang City. How come it suddenly became a strategic location?

A last-minute change of plans? That's not a good sign.

If the identity and military order had not been verified correctly, he would have suspected that someone was secretly doing something wrong.

Just as Mu Yi was thinking about what was going on, a riot broke out outside the city.

"Report, General Mu, someone outside the city wants to see you!" The messenger ran in and reported in a panic.

"Someone wants to see me? Who is it? Bring him in!" Mu Yi said casually.

"No, it's not a human. Anyway, you'd better go out and take a look!" the messenger said somewhat incoherently.

Mu Yi released his will slightly, and the panicked messenger finally calmed down.

"Please go out and take a look yourself!" The messenger regained his composure, but still insisted that Mu Yi go out and take a look at the situation himself.

Mu Yi flew to the top of the city wall with some curiosity, and immediately understood why the messenger looked like that.

What appeared outside the city wall was actually a group of monks in robes.
Of course, this was not the reason why the messenger was at a loss. What really made the messenger at a loss was the figures behind these monks.

There was nothing unusual about these monks in robes, but in the Buddha's light held up by this group of people, there was a golden figure.

The golden figure was huge, the towering figure stretched between heaven and earth, with hands clasped together like the mountains, silently chanting Buddhist scriptures.

"Reminder from Zongwang: Listening to the arhats chanting sutras, you will receive a spiritual baptism and gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism."

"Reminder from Zongwang: Listening to the arhats chanting sutras, you will receive a spiritual baptism and gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism."

……

The solemn sound of Buddhist scriptures rang in Mu Yi's ears. In a trance for a moment, Mu Yi got rid of the influence of the scriptures.

This is not spiritual instigation, but true preaching and promotion of Buddhism.

However, some of the orc slaves enslaved by Mu Yi seemed to be converted during the chanting. They sat cross-legged on the ground with their heads down and followed the chanting of Buddhist scriptures.

Mu Yi glanced at the situation on the city wall and found that the officers and soldiers under their command were basically normal.

Most people regard the sound of chanting as some kind of entertainment.

Only the orc slaves, perhaps because of the law of slavery, had their minds controlled and were in conflict with the moderate and peaceful Buddhist teachings.

Some of the orc slaves looked as if they had put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas.

If Mu Yi had not been able to feel the connection of the slave contract, he would have doubted whether these orc slaves had converted to Buddhism.

"Who are you!"

Mu Yi asked loudly, and the iron-blooded energy in his voice immediately dispersed the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere in the air.

"I am Guangjin, a disciple of Vajra Zen Temple. Greetings to the Venerable God!" When the leading monk saw Mu Yi, he bowed and saluted immediately.

"Vajra Temple?"

Mu Yi took a look at them. Each of them had a peaceful aura and seemed to be a genuine Buddhist disciple with a good family background.

Mu Yi did not have a good impression of Buddhism, even though he himself had learned a considerable amount of Buddhist scriptures and magical powers. However, this did not prevent Mu Yi from having all the knowledge in Buddhism.

Even a big figure like Guandi was plotted against by Buddhism. If a small fry like him was really caught up in the Buddhism's plot, it would be unknown whether he could escape.

As if aware of Mu Yi's hostility, Monk Guangjin waved his hand to signal the monks behind him to stop chanting. The Buddha's light began to dissipate, and the figure of the Arhat in the Buddha's light also disappeared.

"Greetings to the Lord of Chasing Demons and Eliminating Evil!" Monk Guangjin seemed to have found information about Mu Yi in his mind, and hurriedly bowed again.

"What on earth are you here for?"

Mu Yi frowned and thought that these monks came with bad intentions, but it seemed that was not entirely true.

But it is also not necessarily true to say that these monks have good intentions.

Mu Yi did not forget that all their current actions were to pave the way for attacking the big world. This should be the internal affairs of the military strategists themselves, and no one knew why the Buddhist disciples were involved.

"Your Excellency may not know that we are all here on the orders of the Buddha to assist you in completing the mission." Guangjin said.

"What if I say I don't want it?"

Mu Yi's first reaction was to refuse, no matter whether the other party came from a legitimate source or not. Mu Yi didn't want to owe anyone a favor for something that was within his ability.

What's more, this is the military's own business, so why would the Buddhists intervene?

However, one should not hit a smiling person. The Buddhist monks are so humble, there must be something fishy about it.

"We will camp thirty miles away from here. If you encounter any special situation, please feel free to give us instructions."

Guangjin seemed to have anticipated what Mu Yi would say. He showed no emotion and instead smiled and bowed to Mu Yi.

After that, a group of monks held up the Buddha's light again, chanted the Buddhist scriptures in a heavy voice, and then left into the distance.

"What on earth are these monks doing here?"

Mu Yi frowned even deeper. He didn't believe that these monks were just here to say hello.

But these monks really just came to say hello, they came and left in a hurry, and had no other intention at all.

"Brother Mu!" Yang Tiancheng landed next to Mu Yi from the other side of the city wall.

"What do you think about this matter?"

"There must be something fishy going on, but we have too little information and have no idea what exactly happened!"

Yang Tiancheng's face was also filled with confusion. Like Mu Yi, he felt that things were not that simple, but he couldn't put his finger on the problem.

"Pass on my order. Send twice as many people to patrol the surrounding area. Also send people to scout further afield. Report any problems immediately!"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yi decided to be more vigilant.

The only thing that is certain is that Guangjin seems to be certain that they will seek help from Buddhism, so the only place that could be in trouble is Hanye City.

They had just received an order to hold out for fifteen days. If there was any problem, it could only be in Hanye City. The only things that could cause problems in Hanye City... Mu Yi could think of were the orc army coming to retake the city, or the monsters in the mountains rioting.

"Brother Yang, please lead your men to investigate the mountains!"

The orcs' movements could not be hidden from the scouts, so Mu Yi naturally turned his attention to the mountains close to Hanye City.

According to his experience, a large-scale beast tide could also be a hidden danger that threatens the safety of the city.

"Yes!" Yang Tiancheng immediately understood Mu Yi's meaning. After receiving the military order, he led his army to march towards the mountains.

Mu Yi stood on the top of the wall and pondered for a long time, then jumped down from the wall and walked to the place where the craftsmen in the military camp had set up the secret magic stakes.

"What problems will arise during the arrangement of the secret piles?" Mu Yi went straight to the point and asked directly.

"The process of arranging the secret piles will cause a riot in the energy of heaven and earth, and may attract a large number of wild beasts and monsters." The craftsman in charge of the construction said affirmatively.

“Can the construction period be advanced?”

Mu Yi pressed his temple and he finally knew what the problem was.

"It can't be done. The construction of the secret pile not only relies on craftsmen, but also requires the secret pile to fully absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Fifteen days is already the shortest time!"

"Can I ask, what effect will it have after it is formed?" Mu Yi asked tentatively.

"Sorry, this is top secret and I have no right to reveal it to you!" The craftsman directly refused Mu Yi.

After learning about the problem, Mu Yi deeply understood that this battle was unavoidable, but he didn't know how many monsters would emerge from the mountains.

It would be fine if the number was smaller, but if the number was too large, the pressure on the city defense would be enormous.

Mu Yi felt relieved after figuring out what the enemy was.

For a military strategist, as long as you know who the enemy is, there will always be a solution.

However, after Yang Tiancheng brought back the information, Mu Yi could no longer laugh.

The secret method stake is still in the preparation stage and has not been officially launched yet.

However, hundreds of thousands of magical beasts have gathered in the mountains.

Mu Yi immediately thought that it was Guangjin and his men who were behind this. After all, Buddhism lacked all kinds of methods except the method of salvation.

There seems to be no better way other than conversion to make completely different races, or even allow herbivores and carnivores to coexist peacefully.

Although these monsters are just gathered together for now, once the secret stakes are driven down, these gathered monsters will become a big trouble.

"Get ready for battle, we don't have much time!"

After learning about the situation in the mountains, Mu Yi sighed and began to strengthen the city's defenses.

Mu Yi demolished most of the houses in the city and obtained stones and wood of various shapes in return. After simple processing, they were turned into crude city defense equipment.

The effect may not be very good for World of Warcraft, but it is still a kind of preparation.

They reported the situation to the command center, but the message fell on deaf ears and received no response.

This made Mu Yi's heart sink even more.

"What exactly is the Buddhist sect planning to do?"

In fact, Mu Yi had already guessed part of the Buddhist plan at this moment, which was to create pressure on Hanye City and force Hanye City to ask Buddhism for help.

But what Mu Yi didn't understand was what the meaning of this was.

It was as if these Buddhist disciples came specifically to solve their problems.

Rumble!
The secret magic pile made a deafening working sound. At this moment, Mu Yi also felt the so-called operating principle of the secret magic pile. It was like a whirlpool, and the essence of heaven and earth was constantly surging into the secret magic pile.

It is precisely this vortex that allows any extraordinary person to feel the abnormal movements here.

Such a huge movement cannot be hidden from the extraordinary people. As long as one is a qualified extraordinary person, he can feel the flow of the essence of heaven and earth.

But now they have no time to deal with the troubles from Buddhism, as a tide of beasts has already erupted in the mountains.

From the moment the essence of heaven and earth began to flow, it seemed as if the secret magic stake had become the center of the world, and all the monsters were moving in this direction.

"What are these people planning to do?" Mu Yi pondered in his mind while directing his soldiers to arrange defenses.

No matter what, he couldn't just abandon the city and flee. No matter how troublesome and difficult the enemy was, he had to give it a try.

"here we go!"

Thirty miles away from Hanye City, Guangjin smiled faintly as he looked at the dark masses of crossbowmen in the mountains. Everything was under their control.

They even have a special department dedicated to researching this kind of happy technology.

As various orders were issued, the atmosphere in the entire city became increasingly grim.

The beast tide in the mountains did not stay for too long. Almost as soon as the secret magic stake began to operate, the beast tide began to surge towards Hanye City.

Rumble!
Dull footsteps were heard in the mountains, and along with the trampling sounds, there was also a thick smoke and dust raised by the running of the beasts.

"It came so fast!"

Although he was mentally prepared, when Mu Yi saw the beast tide coming, he still felt a little difficult to calm down.

In the beast tide, Mu Yi saw several legendary creatures.

This reminded him of the past in Medlos. When facing a seriously injured and dying legend, he had to fight desperately to exchange his life with the other party.

But now, things are completely different. He has earned the title of Legendary Disaster by using the lives of more than a dozen legends.

A mere legend is no longer his match.

The billowing smoke and dust, accompanied by the galloping of thousands of magical beasts, quickly swept towards the city wall.

The originally tall city walls could no longer bring any sense of security.

"hiss!"

As it charged, a giant snake raised its head high and hissed towards the sky.

Dozens of giant snakes around him also roared towards the sky.

As the roar echoed, the wind and sand between heaven and earth blew violently, and the whistling sand blew towards the city wall with an extremely primitive violence.

In just a few breaths, the whistling sandstorm became even more violent, pressing down on the city wall, like a bloody mouth that wanted to swallow the city wall in one gulp.

The wind was blowing and the visibility between the sky and the earth dropped to the bottom of the valley. The archers on the city wall were completely unable to lock onto the beast tide under the city wall and could only rely on their senses to shoot with faith.

However, the whistling sandstorm was very disruptive and normal attacks were impossible.

Mu Yi didn't expect that they would be in trouble right at the beginning.
