The Emperor is Above

Chapter 221: The Ancient Alien Tribe in the North of Xianyu
Old Man Shi's expression became more solemn as he said, "The High Priest of the Black Wind Tribe is a first-class Grandmaster, and he also prayed for the Black Wind Evil God's avatar to descend, so his strength is extremely terrifying.

Even though Gong Shuliao and other senior ministers were all at the level of second-rank judges, and there were ten second-rank judges in the Gongfeng Hall, they were still no match for the other side.

After a fierce battle, Gongshu Liao and Zhu Qing were both seriously injured, the masters of Gongfeng Hall Jia Gu Ming and Zuo Qiu Yu Ming were killed, the loss of the Black Armor Cavalry exceeded 30%, and many strong men under Zhu Qing were also killed or injured.

The biggest loss in this battle was that Senior Minister Yun Shuyu was seriously injured and unconscious, Second Minister Gu Liangqian was seriously injured and vomited blood, and two Junior Ministers died on the spot. "

"hiss--"

Qing Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Such a huge loss in this battle? The Shangqing and Yaqing were seriously injured, and Shaoqing died in succession. There hasn't been such a huge loss of life in the war in the Northern Frontier in the past hundred years, right?"

Old Man Shi shook his head solemnly and said, "Yes, there has not been such a tragic death of a Shaoqing in a hundred years. This battle can be said to be a loss for both sides. Gong Shuliao, the Gongfeng Hall, and the Black Armor Cavalry are all the backbone forces supporting the monarch.

Shangqing Yun Shuyu has been of great help to the monarch in the court. If something happens to him, the monarch's forces will suffer heavy losses, and I am afraid that the political situation in the court will change for the worse.

Fortunately, the old guy Qianye was quite capable. He was not deceived by the cat ghost and rushed to Shooting Sun City in time to stop the subsequent attack of the high priest of the Black Wind Tribe, thus avoiding greater losses.

In the following month, the Black Wind Tribe organized an army of 100,000 to launch a frantic attack on the fifteen cities in the southeast. The scene was extremely tragic. There were many giant warriors among them, who once climbed to the top of the city wall and occupied several key points.

Fortunately, the fifteen cities in the southeast had made preparations for battle in advance and repelled all the enemies that attacked the city walls. Even though the Black Wind Army suffered heavy casualties, they still firmly guarded every city.

Later, the chief priest of the Black Wind Tribe learned that the coalition forces of the wild tribes in Jiming Lake were defeated and many powerful men they sent out were killed in the battle. Only then did he have to admit that the plan had completely failed.

Even though he was unwilling, he had to order a halt to the attack and a full withdrawal to the Black Wind Tribe's territory. If they didn't withdraw to Chongguo, they would take the opportunity to seize the Black Wind Tribe's territory."

Qing Yi thought while listening, and then couldn't help shaking his head and said, "When the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. The fierce battle between the Black Wind Tribe and the Xing State resulted in both sides being defeated, but it benefited the Chong State that was eyeing them covetously.

Fortunately, the fifteen cities in the southeast and Yanjin City are safe and sound. We can be more cautious by knowing Chongguo’s malicious intentions in advance. I wonder how the Xianyu army in the twelve cities in the northern border and the border cities where you are in charge is doing now?

With a first-class Grandmaster like you in charge, the Ghost Witch Tribe and the Xianyu Army must have suffered losses, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to come back so easily."

"Haha, during my time in charge of the Twelve Cities of the Northern Frontier, I killed two beast soul warriors from the Ghost Witch Tribe. Even if the ten beast souls of the Ghost Witch Tribe are immortal, it will take time to select new beast soul warriors."

When Old Man Shi talked about his proud victory, his long beard trembled with joy, "The Ghost Witch Tribe has always been as timid as a mouse, and will retreat back to the Lishui Lake at the slightest sign of trouble.

I was afraid that the twelve cities in the northern border would all be on high alert, causing the Ghost Witch Tribe to wait and see and then retreat, so I used Huolu City as bait to lure out the Ghost Witch Tribe's army.

This battle killed a green ghost king's Dharma body, severely damaged the ghost witch tribe's upper witch soul that summoned the ghost king's Dharma body, and killed tens of thousands of ghost witch troops, leaving nearly half of them dead. "

Qing Yi clapped his hands in cooperation and said with a smile: "The Ghost Witch Tribe is now losing more than it gains. Previously, you killed a Beast Soul Warrior, and I killed another in Guqiu Fengtu. Now we have lost two more Beast Soul Warriors. This means that the Ghost Witch Tribe will only have two Beast Soul Warriors left in the short term."

"Well, the Ghost Witch Tribe suffered a great loss this time. I dare say that they will not dare to make any unusual moves within two years. But Grand Master Xian Yu took advantage of the Ghost Witch Tribe to attract my attention and launched a sneak attack on the border city's defense line.

Shi Kan, the commander of the rear camp of the right division, and Lin Feng, the commander of the vanguard of the left division, were unfortunately killed by him. Fortunately, Huo Yun Yaqing went to the rear to inspect the harvest of the military farms, so they were spared.

After I defeated the Ghost Witch Army, I quickly went to the border defense line and fought with Grand Master Xian Yu dozens of times, leaving two marks on his right cheek, and he also gave me a sword on his waist. "At this point, Old Man Shi couldn't help but say proudly, "But in general, this old man doesn't care about his image. After dozens of fights, he finally couldn't stand it and ran away.

In line with the principle of "it is impolite not to reciprocate", Huo Yun Yaqing and I took the opportunity to counterattack and killed several Xianyu generals. Then the army attacked and killed more than 40,000 Xianyu soldiers, and the rest of the Xianyu soldiers all fled.

This battle almost captured the Xianyu prince's younger brother Mo Chue, but unfortunately he had too many substitutes around him, so in the end he only captured a trusted substitute guard. "

Qing Yi couldn't help but lament, "I heard that Prince Xianyu's brother Mo Chue was in a high position and had great power. He was once the crown prince and was also called Prince Taidi. It's a pity that he escaped."

"Hehe, it's not a pity. After we interrogated the substitute guard, we also obtained a lot of important information. We now know why the Xianyu tribe is so persistent in going south this year."

Old Man Shi couldn't help but chuckle softly and said, "In recent decades, Xing State has often suffered from floods and droughts. In fact, this is true for all the countries in the Northern Wilderness, and the Xianyu tribe is no exception.

Over the past few decades, winters in the Northern Wilderness have become increasingly colder, and the Xianyu tribe's cattle and sheep have died in large numbers. They have tried to grow crops but have received no harvest, and a large-scale epidemic has also caused severe damage to their strength.

In addition, more powerful enemies have appeared further north of Xianyu in recent years. In order to avoid the increasingly harsh winter, they have continuously moved southward to attack the Xianyu tribe.

Now Xianyu had to fight on two fronts. On the one hand, Xianyu King Mo Yan led his elite army and his powerful men to resist the foreign strongmen who had entered the group at the northern border of Xianyu.

On the other hand, he sent his younger brother Mo Chue to lead the remaining troops to prepare to attack and destroy Xing State and other northern barren vassal states, which would not only expand the strategic depth, but also gain warmer and richer lands. "

At this point, Old Man Shi couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "When the Grand Master Xianyu fought with me, he also suggested that both sides stop fighting, that the State of Xing give up the land in the northern border to resettle the people of the Xianyu tribe, and that the Xianyu tribe should do its best to resist the foreign army coming from the northern wilderness."

Qing Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. This situation was similar to the situation during the Southern Song Dynasty when Mongolia attacked the Jin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty plundered the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, he could not help but shake his head and said, "How could the suggestion of Grand Master Xian Yu be accepted by Lord Xing? The State of Xing was destroyed twice by Xian Yu, and it took countless bloodshed and sacrifices to defeat this powerful enemy.

How could they reconcile with their centuries-old enemies just for some inexplicable foreign tribe in the Northern Wilderness? It is even more impossible for them to give up the land in the Northern Frontier so easily."

"Yes, our ancestors paid countless sacrifices to regain this land, so how could they easily give it to others? Giving land to others is like adding fuel to a fire. The fire will not go out until the fuel is gone."

Old Man Shi sighed and frowned, "But according to what Mo Chue's bodyguard said, the enemy the Xianyu tribe is facing is very strange, and it's not human.

Those enemies came out from the bitter cold land in the north and the plateau mountains and hills in the west. The strongest was the tribe of tall giants. Not only did they possess powerful military force, they also raised herds of giant beasts to obtain enough food. It was said that their bodies were 45 feet tall, which was 10 feet taller than the Wangmang giant in your Guqiu.

In addition, there are many alien races with wolf heads, leopard heads, ox heads, and horse heads, riding terrible exotic beast mounts. They move as fast as the wind and are far superior to the elite cavalry of Xianyu. They possess extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, although these enemies are powerful individually, they are from different races and not a unified tribe. Their battle formations are also poorly organized, so the Xianyu tribe was able to barely hold them back with their overall strength."

"A foreign race with a wolf's head, a leopard's head, a bull's head, or a horse's head?"

Qing Yi suddenly thought of the ancient murals he saw in the Temple of a Hundred Races. Could it be that these were the other alien races that had disappeared in the Middle-earth Divine Continent for thousands or tens of thousands of years?
