Patrol Captain

"when"

"when'

"when"

As the sun sets in the west and the dusk thickens, the bells in Jinguan City suddenly ring out.

The sound of bells echoed in the streets and alleys.

Inside the city, the bustling streets and the busy traffic seemed to have been paused at this moment. The pedestrians and horses on the road hissed and stamped their feet. The people in the carriages got out one after another and looked in the direction of the bell. The noisy sounds in the teahouses and taverns suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of doors and windows being pushed open. Looking in the direction of the bell, exclamations were heard everywhere.

"It's a heaven-shaking species!"

"Why is the bell on Yunding Mountain ringing?"

"The ringing of the Sky Bell is a warning to the whole city. It should not be used except in emergencies. It was fine, why did it suddenly go off?" Some people looked at the noisy and bustling city, confused and puzzled.

"Could it be?" Someone thought of something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"demon!"

Some people looked at each other and said in unison, with a tone of loss of voice.

As the sound of the celestial bell spread in all directions, soon after, a rumbling sound was heard over the Yunding Mountain.

In the sea of ​​clouds, a sacred tree descended. A giant silver tree that was a thousand feet tall took root in the void and stretched out. Its huge mountain-like branches swayed, stirring the sea of ​​clouds. Above it seemed as if there was a golden palace in heaven, with flying eaves and raised feet, hidden among the twilight clouds, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.

Immediately afterwards, giant trees towered into the sky, shaking the sky, and countless silver leaves poured down like the Milky Way, with the trees as the center, spreading across the void and covering the surrounding areas of Jinguan City.

The city defense formation with the Yinshan Sacred Tree as its core was activated for the first time!
At the same time, with a rumbling sound, the Yinshan Sacred Tree was connected, and several branches distributed on Yunding Mountain lit up with brilliant silver light at the same time. Then the sky changed color, and brilliant milky white light beams tore through the void, roared down, and hit Yunding Mountain with a deafening sound.

Figures flashed in the beam of light.

Inside were the panicked and dazed people of Anping County who had been notified to evacuate urgently.

There were also soldiers wearing black and gold armor.

At the foot of the ninth mountain of Yunding Mountain, in a teleportation array, the teleportation light faded, and the crowded crowd was like salted fish stuffed in a jar, packed tightly. As the crowd dispersed, many people vomited uncontrollably.

Among them, a guy wearing a blue robe with python pattern, a black hard-footed fu hat, and a face as pale as powder, squeezed out of the crowd, adjusted the fu hat on his head, with a bit of panic and embarrassment on his face, and some of the gray hair on his temples were scattered.

"Eunuch Cao!"

Several Tianxing Army generals wearing golden masks led their men out of the smelly vomit and hurriedly gathered together.

Lord Gou and the General of the Household were not there. They had entered the ancestral mountain and had not returned. The Heavenly Marching Army, which had come from the Divine Capital, had lost its backbone and could only rely on the eunuch Cao, who was conveying the emperor's orders and holding the token.

When Eunuch Cao heard that the demons in the Shiwandashan Mountains had rioted because of the incident in the Ancestral Mountain and that the Fusi troops stationed outside the Ancestral Mountain had been ordered to withdraw, he no longer thought of seizing power and shamelessly followed the teleportation array arranged by the Fusi to evacuate the people of Anping County.

Otherwise, as a eunuch, would he lead his troops and guard outside the ancestral mountain foolishly?

Gou Yue is all dead.

A half-step dragon-tiger, the Demon-Suppressing Envoy appointed by His Majesty himself, was gone in less than two days.

He died lightly, without causing any ripples, just like an ordinary passerby.

Eunuch Cao tried hard to remain calm and maintain his dignity, but he was completely confused. As a servant in the palace, he had never seen such a scene before. He could not calm down when he heard the deafening bells ringing in his ears and the noisy sounds of vomiting and cursing all around him.

"Go find someone to ask." He pretended to be calm, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

The Tianxing Army sent people to stop the soldiers from the Ninth Mountain who had sent back the messages and ask them, but those soldiers were in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to them. They rode their horses at full speed and rushed out, raising billowing dust.

You can see smoke and dust coming from all directions at the foot of Genting Mountain, and cold rays of iron armor shining from the sky to the ground, like thousands of troops rushing forward.

Half an hour later, Jinguan City was shrouded in a huge milky white formation, like a huge bowl upside down on top of this majestic city.

The nine gates on the south city wall have been closed. On the wall, soldiers and armor are piled up like a forest, and the cold light shines on the iron armor.

On the city gate tower, several tall voices wearing mighty armor stood out, Yun Tiansheng, the South City garrison, the Sixth Mountain Lieutenant General
There were several figures standing on the high ground in the corners of the building. The Shushan Sword Sect's Master Yi was standing with a sword in his arms, and the Su Nu Sword Sect's Goddess was standing with a sword on her back and her eyes as sharp as swords.
A pair of sharp eyes stared at the wasteland in the distance under the twilight, which was about to be dyed into ink-black by the night.

On the city wall, the wind was howling and the flags were rustling.

Not only the southern city wall, but the other city walls are almost the same.

The entire Jinguan City is on high alert!
In this tense atmosphere, when the faint red in the distance was completely swallowed up by the night, a loud thunder roared and split the clouds in the south.

Rumble!
Under the bright light splitting the night sky, rolling fog rose from the distant fields. The white fog rolled along the fields towards Jinguan City. The rolling fog was like a flood rumbling across the earth. The distance was getting closer and the shaking was getting stronger.

"Fire arrows!"

There was a loud shout from the city wall.

Immediately, thousands of iron feathers of bows and crossbows engraved with special runes, thunderously and mysteriously, tearing through the air, with piercing eardrums shrieking and sparks produced by friction, shooting wildly towards the fog.

Thousands of fire points instantly ignited the fog dozens of miles away. The white fog and sparks rolled up and turned into a sea of ​​fire, from which came the sound of clinking.

The next second, a roar like a golden chant came out from the fog, and then a huge tail covered with dark black scales broke through the fog and swept across the sky, sweeping away the dense rain of fire arrows. Then, a huge snake body rose up from the sea of ​​fire, and the ferocious snake head opened its red-gold vertical pupils, with a grim and cruel look, and a strong fishy smell blew towards the city wall with the wind.

This snake has two pairs of fleshy wings, three ferocious snake heads, and a hissing tongue that glows with phosphorescence. This is Fei Yi's third form, a big monster!
Its huge body tumbled, and the sea of ​​fire twisted into a strange vortex. Then it opened its big mouth, and its roar shook the officials. Its wings fluttered, and a black evil wind rose from the ground and blasted towards the south city wall.

At about the same time, on the other side, in the western forest, a mountain top suddenly shook violently. With an earth-shaking explosion, a fiery red giant ape leaped out of the mountain. As it leaped into the air, its body swelled up like a mountain. Its body was burning with scarlet flames. Its hair stood up like steel needles. Its sharp claws scratched the mountain, leaving out several bottomless gullies.

The soldier stared at Jinguan City with his scarlet eyes and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves caused the bricks and stones of the city wall to fall off. At the same time, he stretched out his big hand to pull at the forest below. He grabbed a small mountain of fifty or sixty feet and then threw it towards the western wall.

Then, strange phenomena occurred one after another in the east, southeast, and southwest.

One after another, the huge monsters revealed their ferocious shadows, and their huge eyes as big as the sun and the moon stared at Jinguan City with eager eyes.

Inside the city, countless people were standing in all directions with their devilish shadows that covered the sky and the sun. They were trembling with fear and couldn't help holding their breath.

The big demons have gathered, evil clouds are covering the sky, and they are aggressive. Are they going to attack the city?

And at this very moment,

On the city wall, swords rang and shouts were heard everywhere.

Streams of light tore through the night, rushed out of the city, and blocked the attacks of these monsters. Musashi's aura burst out, confronting these monsters in the air. Some of them had swords that could sweep for dozens of miles, splitting the mountains thrown at them. Some stood on their swords, their clothes fluttering, as if they were isolated from the world. Some recited war poems, rode on iron horses, and were as fierce as tigers.
Nine human Musashi fought against a nine-headed evil monster, and the battle was so bright that the sky was as bright as day.

During the fight, a terrifying aura rose up from the sky like a volcanic eruption.

A black devil's claw that covered the sky and blocked out the sun descended from the sky, causing the heaven and earth to roar and the sea of ​​clouds to explode, and it shot straight towards the sacred tree formation above Jinguan City.

At this moment, a dragon roar was heard from the sea of ​​clouds above the sacred tree of Yinshan Mountain above Jinguan City.

The dragon's roar was shocking, spreading out the terrifying dragon and tiger aura that shook the universe. Two silver streams of light were like a rainbow piercing the sun, entwining each other and flying together. The sword energy stirred the sky, suddenly cutting through the night curtain and slashing straight towards the black devil's claws.

The black devil's claws collided with the dragon's roar sword energy, the sky shook and the earth trembled, and a thrilling dragon's roar devil's roar was heard.

In an instant, the devil's claws were retracted, and a cold snort came from the sky.

Then, the big monster that suddenly appeared outside Jinguan City looked fierce and roared, leaving the battlefield.

"I'll let you live a few more days."

Then the evil clouds surged, covering the sky and the sun, and turned into gusts of evil wind, heading towards the southwest.

That’s the direction towards Zushan!
The target of these demons is actually Zushan. After receiving the letter, they used their magical powers to cross thousands of miles of space, penetrate deep into the heart of Shu, and come to make preliminary explorations.

The carvings in the ancestral mountain also have a fatal attraction to them. It is possible that the tombs of the celestial beings contain the true demon bones of their ancestors!
Not long after, nine groups of demonic clouds gathered at the Ancestral Mountain, and then killed some "speculators" hiding outside, and then rushed into the fog of the Ancestral Mountain with great momentum.

Now, things are even more chaotic, as the big demons from the Ten Thousand Mountains begin to force their way into the Ancestral Mountain!
Jinguan City, which is very close to the city, has entered a state of emergency!
The sacred tree formation blocks Jinguan!

Once withdrawn, Jinguan City will be in danger!
Meanwhile, at Yunding Mountain, seeing all the big monsters appearing outside the city, evil clouds covering the sky, and hidden big monsters staring at them covetously, the eunuch Cao who was delivering the imperial edict even cried out in shock.

Everything goes too fast!
He was completely in the dark and no one wanted to pay attention to him. He was trembling with fear, fearing that he would die in a foreign land.

Eunuch Cao's only thought was to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

With great difficulty, he relied on his status as the emperor's attendant to find a general who was still capable of taking charge in the Jiannan Dao Fusi, which was full of aggression and was mobilizing troops everywhere.

I heard that he was an old subordinate of Chen Xun Tianshi, a General of Cavalry, whose surname was Yun.

He proposed to go back and report, open the blockade and let the group go back, but he was sternly rejected and even flattered.

"At this critical moment, Demon Envoy Gou Zhen and Commander Pei have gone to the ancestral mountain and have not returned. Our Jiannan Road troops are in a situation of being leaderless, and there are demons outside who are eyeing us covetously. We cannot do this."

"Besides, as the eunuch appointed by His Majesty, he should shoulder the heavy responsibility. The entire Daofu Division and the entire Jinguan City may depend on the eunuch's command. If the eunuch leaves like this, who will bear this responsibility?"

"Please put on your armor and lead the Tianxing Army to the city wall to set a good example for Shu and boost morale. At present, one more person means more strength while we wait for the imperial court's reinforcements."

That’s what the young cavalryman named Yun said.

The words are righteous and there is no room for negotiation.

Not only did Eunuch Cao fail to achieve his wish, but he also lost himself and two thousand days of marching without knowing it.

He remembered that he had seized power in accordance with His Majesty's wishes.

Right now, this place is a hot potato and it's hard to grab it.

Late that night, Eunuch Cao was filled with fear and trepidation. He bent over his desk and wrote a memorial in the makeshift camp at the foot of the Ninth Hill.

"Your humble servant, Cao Zheng, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is sending another urgent report to Your Majesty: Recently, after the soul token of the new demon-suppressing envoy Gou was shattered, the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain who stayed in the ancestral mountain received an order to return to defend Jinguan. Not long after, Jinguan City was sealed off, as if facing a great enemy. Nine-headed monsters appeared one after another and besieged Jinguan. There were also big monsters hiding in the dark, brazenly attacking and trying to break the formation. Fortunately, there were people with great magical powers in the city who attacked one after another. These people had an old relationship with Chen Yuan, the patrol angel of the three southwest roads, so they were able to protect the city. At this moment, the Jiannan Daofusi is leaderless, and your humble servant can only put on armor and go to the city with 2,000 celestial marching troops to guard it. If Jinguan is lost, the gates will be shaken and the situation will be urgent! However, the troops are weak, so I beg Your Majesty to send troops and people to travel day and night, and humbly ask for a quick decision. Your humble servant Cao Zheng bows his head and respectfully reports!"

Wait until Eunuch Cao finishes writing.

"Someone, use the Wanli Talisman to expedite the message!"

"Also," he paused,
"Inform the local cavalry."

There is no way, the formation is blocked.

This was Cao Zheng’s second petition.

Two memorials were issued in one day!
At about this time, the previous wave of news had already flown across Shu Road.

Stone tablets and stone carvings, heavenly coffins, Baiyujing, these words, along with the flying message, flew into Sanqin, Yuzhang, and into the Central Plains tonight.

Taking advantage of the night, I flew into those famous mountains and rivers, strange mountains and dangerous places, and flew into the splendid gatehouses of tall houses and courtyards.
Before dawn the next day, in the capital of God, hundreds of thousands of miles away,

At this time, "Boom, boom, boom", the drum beats for the court session at Chengtian Gate just sounded.

On the street leading to Chengtian Gate, carriages of officials at all levels were moving slowly and orderly according to their ranks.

Soon, the sound of a fast horse galloping along the stone road leading to the imperial city was heard.

"drive"

"drive"

"drive"

"Step aside!"

"Urgent news from Shu!"

Someone shouted loudly, scolding the carriage of the court official, and then rode away.

Following the drumbeats, we rushed into Chengtian Gate!

Just like that, as the news spread to all parts of the country, all the states of Daqian were in turmoil, and the heroes of the world all went to Shu.

There are young geniuses, full of passion, wearing swords and riding horses, and going out to the rivers and lakes;

There are those who are conceited and talented, but whose talents are not appreciated, and who are eager to take action, spurring their horses and whipping their whips, and rushing to the wind and clouds;

There was a hermit who was practicing in seclusion, and he laughed loudly...
