Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 144 Chapter 142 is broken, Zhou Tianzi was arrested 6K please subscribe, the second update will be later

Mount Li is located east of Haojing. It is a huge military fortress. It was the command post of the Zhou emperor during wartime and also the last bastion of the Zhou emperor in times of crisis.

All the cultivators who were summoned to the front line by Emperor Zhou would gather here. Although Wang Wu didn't know why even a cultivator of Wang Lan's level would be pulled here, she was currently only in the Demortal Realm.

Of course, this speed of progress is very fast for someone of her age who has just joined a sect. After all, it has only been a month since she officially joined the Qingping Sect.

The current battle line is not in Mount Li, but in Shenzhou west of Haojing.

Because there was no reinforcement from the Western Wei, and even the Western Wei had withdrawn the military assistance it provided, the Great Zhou's army had smooth sailing in the war against Shenzhou.

The Great Zhou army quickly broke through Shenzhou's defense line and entered its territory. Under the suppression of a large number of warships, Shenzhou's air superiority was basically lost.

The war model of this world is actually quite "modernized", with various ideas: monks are ultra-high-performance fighter jets, and the heavy infantry and cavalry in formation are the main battle tank army, and can be directly involved in fortress sieges.

The monks sent by Qingping Sect will receive relevant battlefield training and mobilization at the Lishan Military Base for half a month, after which they will be sent to the front battlefield to perform their tasks.

Although this was the place where the Zhou emperor controlled the overall situation and issued orders during wartime, the Zhou emperor was not in Mount Li at this moment, but on the front line in Shenzhou.

Because the war had been going smoothly over the past month, the Zhou emperor felt that it was all his credit. Therefore, in order to further boost morale, he decided to go to the front line to lead the army in person and take over the supreme command of the army.

To put it simply, the deputy commander has done a good enough job in assisting, and now it is time for the supreme commander to take final control of the outcome.

If everything went well, it shouldn't have gone badly either. The final fate of Shenzhou would be that its ruling family, the Jiang family, was completely wiped out, and from then on Shenzhou was completely under the control of the emperor.

Of course, this does not mean that the Jiang surname will become extinct. In fact, the Zhou emperor would certainly not do such a drastic thing.

"Now that the king has declared war on Shenzhou, what do you think about Qizhou?"

"Hey, what else can I say? If the emperor is losing ground, Qizhou will definitely respond to the master, but now it is Shenzhou that is losing ground, right? Then naturally they will play dead and keep silent, and maybe even join the King of Zhou's army to show their sincerity!"

Wang Wu was strolling around the military fort with Wang Lan, and they happened to pass by two monks who were discussing this matter.

Two monks were discussing this matter, and judging from the expressions on their faces, they did not seem to respect the Zhou Emperor very much.

This is normal. After all, the Zhou emperor has a bad reputation among the people and elsewhere.

Ever since his great-grandfather Ji Xie, the control of the Zhou Dynasty court over the local areas has become increasingly weak. It was also from that time on that the local "Fubing" of each state had become the private soldiers of the local ruling family.

Nanzhou is a typical example. In this emperor's edict, Nanzhou naturally responded actively, so they asked the major sects in the state to send some monks over.

It cannot be said that all the members of the sect are rotten fish and shrimp. Among them, there are still many cultivators in the True Realm, and there are also quite a few who have reached the realm of Breaking Delusion or even the realm of Cave Void.

Of course, Zhao Xingyue did not come here with them. Although Shang Xuanzong also responded to the emperor's call, she was not on the dispatch list.

The Qingping Sect was very positive about this, especially the Sword Palace of the Qingping Sect, where many disciples came.

Wang Lan was also a disciple of the Sword Palace, and was accepted as a disciple by the Sword Palace's master, Li Shangxuan.

However, the disciples of the Sword Palace will not go to the front line. They will guard the rear in Mount Li, and some of them will go to Haojing to guard.

When King Wu of Zhou overthrew the Shang Dynasty, in order to express his respect for Jiang Taigong who had made great contributions to the war, the Jiang family was granted a fiefdom west of Haojing, close to the three continents of the royal capital, which was known as "eternal protection of the royal capital."

Now that the conflict has completely intensified and the war has broken out, if Shenzhou still forms an alliance with the Western Wei, then the Zhou emperor will probably have to hide here to command the situation, or even have to flee south in a hurry.

"Even if they express their true feelings, given the current situation, I'm afraid the king will not let them go, right?" said the taller of the two monks, one tall and one short.

"Yes, but there is nothing we can do. There is nothing we can do in Qizhou right now." The short monk said with a smile:
"There are several states around them that are eyeing them covetously. What can they do? In the current situation, if there is any movement, other states will seek credit from the emperor."

"Haha, that's right." The tall monk also laughed.

As she walked past the two of them, Wang Lan held Wang Wu's hand tightly the whole time, with the tide still lingering on her face.

Although wearing a ring on the ring finger is not an "Eastern tradition" in Wang Wu's hometown, it is a custom from the West.

But Dongfang’s own tokens of love also include rings, but there is no particular requirement on which finger they are worn on, so there is nothing wrong with it, as long as the two things are combined.

"I haven't even had the chance to talk to Li Shangxuan yet, but you've been accepted as his disciple?" Wang Wu and Wang Lan found a restaurant to sit down. He was quite surprised at Wang Lan's recent development.

Zi Yuan was not around. She had gone back to Tianmang City to play. It was said that there was some kind of celebration there recently. Wang Wu also planned to take Wang Lan with him, but they had to wait a few days.

"Yes, my master said that I have extraordinary talent, so he accepted me as his disciple. He was also very curious and asked me why I haven't been discovered yet." Wang Lan replied with a smile.

She did not sit opposite Wang Wu, but sat side by side with Wang Wu, nestling in Wang Wu's arms.

"But you are a swordsman at the Dehumanization Realm, why would the sect choose you to come here?"

"I don't know. Most of our Sword Palace disciples are here." Wang Lan shook his head. "Including your adopted sister Yao Qingli, Wulang. Senior Sister is here too, and she is in charge of protecting the Queen in the Emperor's Palace."

"Queen?" Wang Wu was stunned when he heard this title, "Which king..."

"Bao Si?" But he immediately reacted and asked.

"Yes." Wang Lan nodded, "It's Queen Si, who was born in Baozhou. Didn't the king announce it to the world before? But it seems that the king has not married Queen Si yet."

"Why?" Wang Wu was a little confused.

"You must want to hold a grand ceremony to marry her after the victory of this war, right?" Wang Lan said with a smile, "I also heard from my junior sister who lives with me that she wants to use this to tell the world that the king values ​​the Si family."

The power of the previous foreign relatives was too great, so they needed to be severely suppressed or even destroyed, and then unite with another foreign relative. This was probably the idea of ​​the Zhou emperor.

After a few hundred years, when the Si clan becomes powerful, I guess the new Zhou emperor will do the same thing as King You of Zhou did today, right?
However, judging from the current war situation, I am afraid that King You can no longer be called King You.

"This emperor is quite particular..." Wang Wu was about to make a sharp comment, but the next moment, his voice was drowned out by a huge explosion.

Brilliant flames exploded in the sky above Mount Li, and the strong light instantly engulfed the sky above the entire city.

The brightness of the burst of light was so great that it was even enough to instantly blind the eyes of anyone who had no time to prepare.

But here, in Mount Li, people don't face this problem.

The dark blue protective shield blocked the strong light and also withstood the shock wave caused by the explosion.

Lightning flashed in the air, and the high temperature ionized the air, turning the sky above Mount Li into a blue liquid ocean.

The people of Shenzhou naturally also had the weapons that the Great Zhou had, and the weapon "Scorching Sun" was originally developed under the leadership of the Jiang family.

Therefore, Shenzhou is not short of "scorching sun".

"The people of Shenzhou are crazy!???"

At this moment, looking at the extremely gorgeous sky above their heads, everyone in the restaurant exclaimed.

At the same time, a huge bell rang in the city, and under this bell, the whole city was changing.

Huge bunkers rose from the mountains, and huge "logs" with flames spewing from the ends shot out from these bunkers and rushed towards the sky.

Those things were obviously missile silos, and in Mount Li, Wang Wu finally saw the launch process of this world's "intercontinental missile".

Um, it really is... it really is quite similar to the missile launch process in my hometown... ?
It does seem to be a science fiction world, nothing wrong with it.

Although the monks can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and shrink the distance to an inch, when they fight, they just fly their "magic weapons" at hypersonic speeds and drop various bombs.

Isn't it just a more advanced fighter? With more functions, more flexibility, and higher attack power...

There's nothing wrong, my friends. There's nothing wrong with us at all. What could be wrong with this?

"Ah, it seems that the emperor has been defeated." Without continuing to eat, Wang Wu took Wang Lan out of the restaurant, jumped onto the highest roof in the city, and looked at the sky in the distance. After looking for a while, he said.

"Ah?" Wang Lan was shocked when he heard it: "How, how is it possible?"

Although I have absolute trust in my husband, but...but this is too...too far-fetched, right?

It is obvious that the Great Zhou army has maintained a huge advantage over Shenzhou. Since the emperor personally led the army to fight, the soldiers on the front line have been greatly encouraged, their combat effectiveness has greatly increased, the battle line has made rapid progress, and good news has been coming in frequently.

But how, how did I lose? ?

"I don't know why." Wang Wu shrugged, his eyes fixed on the smoking warship in the distant sky.

That thing was obviously a spaceship, and it looked like a very advanced spaceship, definitely a "king ship" level.

Although this thing is huge in size, its speed is also terrifyingly fast, as high as Mach 200, and it is within the atmosphere.

Wherever it passed, the sky had turned into blue plasma. The air molecules were ionized by the collision, and the sky appeared to be liquid plasma. Even flashes of lightning could be seen.

“Hurry up!! Hurry up!!!”

In this huge warship, King You of Zhou… no, he cannot be called King You yet, because he is not dead yet. The King of Zhou, Ji Gongyan, stared at the fortress city in front of him and shouted:

"Why haven't you arrived yet?? Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!!"

"You damned beast, are you trying to hurt me??? I'll kill you!!!"

“Your Majesty!! The ship has been severely damaged. This is already the maximum speed it can reach!!!” Beside him, a man wearing a general’s armor held down Ji Gong Yan, who was about to draw his sword, and also shouted:
"My King! Don't do anything stupid!!!"

"Shut up!!!" Ji Gongyan tried hard to break free from the general beside him, but he was powerless. The other party was a master in the realm of law, while he was only in the realm of truth, not even in the realm of truth. However, although his body was firmly clamped by the other party, Ji Gongyan did not stop talking:

"You beast, didn't you say they were already doomed to fail? Why? Why did you allow them to raid the rear?!"

Since he couldn't break free, Ji Gongyan simply stopped trying to break free. Instead, he turned around and glared at the general who restrained him, and slapped him in the face.

"If it weren't for me, you would still be nothing more than a slave!!! You damned thief, this is how you repay your benefactor???"

"Go back and wait to be beheaded!!!"

Obviously, Himimiya Yan has completely lost his mind now.

All we can say is that Ji Gongyan was a typical emperor with great ambitions but little talent. Although our true character is unknown in history, the story of "playing tricks on the princes by lighting beacons" is most likely just a story made up by later generations.

But one thing is certain:
He had very little ability, and he did favor flatterers and indulge in alcohol and sex.

He relied heavily on the treacherous minister Guo Shifu, indulged in wine and sex all day long, and completely ignored state affairs and even neglected sacrifices.

"It will rise, it will fall; it will be tired of the bow and the dustpan, and it will destroy the Zhou Dynasty."

This was a ballad that was circulated among the people when his father King Xuan died. It was so popular that it was even spread in Haojing.

'It will rise, and it will fall; it will be tired of the arc, the dustpan, and the Zhou Kingdom will be destroyed.' According to legend, when King Xuan was buried, in a tomb where he was buried alive, a black horse broke through the loess and ran away into the distance.

The ministers who came to mourn at that time were all horrified and immediately sent the accompanying monks to look for the black horse.

Even though there were three monks who had entered the realm of law at the scene, the black horse could not be found. It was King Xuan's favorite mount when he was alive. It was a mare that already had intelligence and was only one step away from transforming into a human form.

From then on, this ballad gradually spread throughout the Great Zhou.

During the reign of King Xuan, there was a brief "King Xuan's Restoration", and King Xuan of Zhou was indeed considered to have the "appearance of a wise ruler" in the early days. It was a pity that he failed to maintain it in the end and ended up in failure.

In his later years, King Xuan of Zhou was arbitrary and dictatorial, did not believe in loyal advice, and killed ministers indiscriminately. Therefore, this so-called "rejuvenation" naturally became a flash in the pan.

After him, Ji Gongyan, who succeeded him, was even more powerful. If King Xuan had some military ability, then Ji Gongyan had nothing.

'Snapped! ! '

In the command room, Ji Gong Yan's voice came to an abrupt end with a crisp sound, and the entire bridge became silent at this moment.

"you!!!"

Ji Gong Yan, who fell to the ground, couldn't believe it. He stared at the man in front of him.

"You want to come to the frontline to boost morale, fine! You want to make contributions, that's fine too!!!" The general's eyes were red as he shouted at Ji Gongyan:
"I am willing to give it all. I am a minister of the king. What does this mere military achievement count for?"

"But what did you do? You underestimated the enemy and rushed forward without listening to advice. You had a great advantage that you couldn't possibly lose, but under your command, what happened?!"

"It's over now! It's over!!!"

"You're done!!!"

He threw the talisman in his hand with force, and the flying fragments brushed against Ji Gong Yan's face, leaving several bloody wounds on it in an instant.

“Ah, ah!!!”

With a sharp pain coming from his face, Himimiya Yan immediately rolled on the ground, trembling and shouting loudly:

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!!"

But in the entire command room, apart from his voice, there was no other sound.

"Protect the emperor!!! You traitors!!" Ji Gong Yan rolled on the ground and wailed. At this moment, he was filled with fear and anger.

"Protect the frame!! Protect...!!"

His voice stopped abruptly, not because of anyone else's control, but because when his eyes were searching around, they swept across the huge screen in the command room.

On the screen, in the distant sky, a warship was quietly floating there.

Then, a thick beam of light shot out from the crack at the tip of the warship and hit the Great Zhou Royal Ship where he was.

The already dilapidated protective shield was instantly broken by the strong light, and the entire battleship was exposed to this high-energy beam of light.

When the beam of light dissipated, the warship carrying the King of Zhou let out a wail and fell from the sky.

Long before the warship appeared, a large number of figures had already rushed out from Mount Li and flew towards the Zhou emperor's carriage in the distance.

But how can a distance of hundreds of kilometers be covered in a short period of time?

Even if one has reached the state of entering the realm of Dharma, the maximum speed is only Mach 120, which is only 40 kilometers per second.

Eight hundred kilometers in twenty seconds. Moreover, none of the figures flying out of Mount Li exceeded Mach 100.

Even the fastest one is only Mach 90.

What's more, they were unable to successfully reach the place where the emperor's carriage was, because they were stopped by an unknown strong man who jumped out halfway.

Then, under the desperate gaze of Himiya Min, a beam of light came and hit the armor belt of the battleship.

This royal ship had undergone a lot of upgrades with the technology of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so its protection capabilities naturally far exceeded the original version. However, in terms of armor, there was no improvement at all.

Because the technology had been lost, the Zhou people could no longer produce armored steel of the royal ship level.

When the upgraded protective shield was breached, this battleship was no different from the royal ship of the Shang Dynasty ten thousand years ago.

The weapon system equipped on a king ship is definitely enough to penetrate the armor belt of another king ship.

As the emperor's vehicle, the top priority of this warship is naturally the safety of its defensive capabilities. It must be said that in terms of safety, this ship does a good job.

At least Ji Gong Yan was still able to maintain consciousness after a dizzying period, even though the entire command room was in a mess with scattered human body parts everywhere.

Even the extraordinary people were equally vulnerable at this time. After all, they were not frontline fighters, but just pilots of warships.

They don't even have a true realm. Although their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, facing such a disaster, the chances of them surviving are very slim.

"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!!"

An urgent call reached Ji Gongyan's ears, clearing his somewhat blurred mind. He turned his attention to the owner of the voice, who was the general who had just slapped him and knocked him to the ground.

He was grabbing himself anxiously, one of his hands was missing, and his face was covered in blood. But even so, he still used a burst of energy to protect himself.

This made Ji Gong Yan feel grateful in his heart, but then the previous scene flashed through his mind, and the expression on his face disappeared in an instant, turning gloomy.

However, he was not completely stupid and would not turn against the other party at this time.

"Ah, isn't this the king?"

But at this moment, a new voice also appeared here, with a frivolous tone. The two were startled and immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

"you……!"

'puff! '

With a sound of flesh entering, the general with his eyes wide open fell slowly backwards, and the passport imposed on Ji Gong Yan also disappeared at this moment.

"He is a loyal minister."

The owner of the voice sighed with regret, then looked at Ji Gong Yan and said, "You have such a good person under your command but you don't know how to use him, and you don't even have the most basic trust in him."

"My king, my king..." The man shook his head and said with a smile:

"If you don't die, then who will die?"

After saying that, he grabbed Ji Gongyan from the ground, trapped him without giving him a chance to speak, and broke his limbs.

The original emperor turned into a human pig at this moment.

Mount Li is a military fortress, but it is also a city with a large population living here, as many as 700,000.

As a war fortress of the Zhou emperor, it can hold out for hundreds of years even when besieged by enemy forces. It is not a problem to even hold out forever because it can be self-sufficient.

Built on Mount Li, in addition to the basic city defense, it also arranged a powerful formation. Many mountains in the mountain range were also hollowed out, and the emperor's palace was located in it.

If war breaks out, the Zhou emperor will stay in this palace, relying on Mount Li to continue to control the overall situation and wait for friendly troops to come to his aid.

Now that the war has broken out, the gathering of a large number of monks has naturally brought about a large amount of consumption, which is naturally a good thing for ordinary people living in Mount Li.

Although this also means the outbreak of war, due to the particularity of this world, most ordinary people do not actually have any special feelings about war.

Wars here rarely bring massacres, because massacres only bring disasters and huge losses.
