death

Chapter 598
Hearing Zhanke's words, I couldn't help being surprised and said: "You mean, the Lord Tianwu failed to mediate for you, so the Nine Jue Evil Dragon still wants to fight you?"

Zhanke said: "It's not a simple fight, but a decisive battle, where the outcome is life and death. It seems that he is determined to destroy me!"

I said: "It's not just you, I'm afraid there is also me! It seems that this time we must fight together!"

Zhan Ke nodded and said, "Brother Chen, do you think I should wait for him to come to Rixin City half a month later, or take the initiative to go north..."

I couldn't help but blurt out: "Of course it's going directly north! If we fight in Rixin City, the people here will definitely be devastated."

But after I finished speaking, I asked again: "What is the combat effectiveness of the Rixin City Legion, and what is the chance of winning?"

Zhanke didn't speak, Yuan Zihong said next to him: "There is no chance of winning. The Nine Jue Evil Dragon itself is a strong four-level heavenly immortal. He also has six third-level heavenly monks under his command. Five of them came this time, and they are respectively in charge of five. For the legion, the captain of the thousand guards of each legion is a strong person of the first level of heaven, and the equipment is basically determined according to the elite army of the monster race."

"As for our Rixin City, it is still possible to deploy five legions to meet the enemy, but there are only two legions that can compete with the five elite legions. The other three legions are miscellaneous troops. Only the strength of a second-tier angel."

"The words of Chief Qianwei are basically the strength of the Earth Immortal. Occasionally there are one or two first-level Celestial Immortals. They also belong to the kind of half-baked people who have cultivation bases but do not have any supernatural powers."

Hearing Yuan Zihong speak so slowly, I also frowned.

Yuan Zihong asked me: "I don't know how strong the reinforcements brought by City Lord Chen are?"

I said: "A 1-man Ballista Legion, a 1000-man Thousand Guards Cavalry, if we are going to fight at Xixi River, I will order Lu Zheng to go north with the Innocent Legion and the Tianhui Army." , and there are more than 2 people."

Hearing what I said, Zhan Ke immediately said: "There is no need for those two legions. Their combat power is not as good as our motley army. They are also cannon fodder if they are pulled over. Besides, you are a family property, so don't feel sorry for me. I am an older brother." It hurts too."

"It is enough to have the two legions you mentioned that I have never heard of. Besides, what I value most is not how many soldiers and horses you bring, but the killer Zhou Yin by your side. With him, we You don’t have to be afraid of the Nine Jue Dragon.”

I also nodded.

But soon Zhanke said again: "Of course, there is one thing I have to explain to you in advance. If the killer Zhou Yin makes a move, it is tantamount to telling the entire Utopia that you have harbored the most wanted person in Prisoner Kingdom. Do you know the consequences?"

I said: "He already knows it now, isn't it the same if I make it clear or not, I don't worry about it!"

I said I wasn't worried, but I was a little scared in my heart. If Prison Ling really came to ask Xingshi in person, then we would have to run away, and Utopia might not be able to stay any longer.

But then again, apart from Xia Wenhou, Xiahou Luotian and Tianwu seem to want to protect me. Maybe Prison Ling is afraid of the strength of the other Three Kingdoms Lords, so she doesn't dare to really do anything to me.

Hearing what I said, Zhan Ke immediately came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "He's really my good brother."

Then Zhan Ke said directly to Yuan Zihong: "Go and gather troops. We will go north in a few days. With our speed, we will reach Xixi River within three days."

Yuan Zihong frowned and said: "Although I think it's better to stick to the city, but if the city lord insists on going north, I have no choice but to accept orders."

After all, Yuan Zihong went out and followed suit.

Zhan Ke smiled and said: "Old Yuan is like this, every time my order doesn't touch his mind, he always complains a few words, but then again, even though he complains, he can still handle things Neat."

I also smiled and said: "Yuan Zihong is a good subordinate!"

Zhanke said: "He is also my good partner!"

We looked at each other and smiled.

It took Yuan Zihong almost half a day to organize five legions in the north of Rixin City, with a total of more than 6 people.

After the legion was assembled, I went out of the city together. Zhanke was wearing a black armor and walked in the front, looking like a god of war.

We followed behind him, he was the host, we were the guests, so naturally we couldn't steal his limelight.

When we left the city, I found that many people from Rixin City also came to see Zhanke off. They all hoped that their city lord would return in triumph.

Zhanke walked to the front of the line and thought he would speak boldly, but unexpectedly he only said one sentence: "Let's go!"

Although there are only two words in this sentence, all the soldiers were extremely excited and called out directly. They shouted long live, and each of them seemed to hold their breath, probably because they were a little bit overwhelmed by the threat of Tianlong City. Let's get started.

And I also sent an order to let my Rune Array Cavalry and Ballista Legion speed up, bypass Rixin City and go north to Xixi River to meet with us, and I also asked them to arrive within ten days.

Zhanke also gave Rixin City an order to let us go without any interrogation when our innocent city army crosses the border, and to provide us with food, grass and drinking water on our own initiative.

Of course, I also asked Zhanke for a lot of blue-rank rune jade. I didn't want to blackmail him, but to make ammunition for my ballista army.

Zhanke was also unambiguous about this, and hundreds of thousands of blue-rank rune jades were directly carried on the road, and they would continue to be sent in the future.

It took us three days to reach the south bank of the Xixi River. The Xixi River is three or four miles wide, and the water surface looks calm, but I heard that the deepest part of the water is tens of meters, and there are no infantry and cavalry at all. The way is to cross the river directly.

There is no bridge here, so we found thousands of big ships on the opposite bank.

Seeing this scene, I was surprised and said: "Water battle? We don't have a boat here?"

Zhanke said: "You are stupid, who would go into the water to fight them, and we will fight them when they cross the river and land on the bank, but the nine-jue evil dragon can be regarded as trustworthy, and it really didn't cross the river."

Yuan Zihong said: "He didn't mean to be trustworthy, but he didn't pay attention to us at all. From his point of view, they could win this battle no matter what they fought, so they didn't cross the river. They let us do it on purpose!"

Hearing what Yuan Zihong said, Zhan Ke hummed and said, "Old bastard Jiujue is too contemptuous of people!"

We set up camp in the south, and the legion of Tianlong City didn't mean to stop it at all, but stood still on the north bank.

When our camp is set up and all the legions are settled, the Heavenly Dragon Legion will send a messenger to ask Zhan Ke to discuss the time for the decisive battle.

Zhan Ke said: "Just according to the previously agreed time, there are still twelve days."

After the man left, Zhan Ke asked when my troops would be, and I said soon, I would definitely be there before the decisive battle.

In the past few days, the two sides have faced each other across the river without intruding on each other, and have no intention of fighting at all.

But each of us knows that this battle is inevitable.

These days, the relationship between me and Nangong Xizang is really cold. When we are together, she will always come to chat with me when she has something to do, but recently she has basically never taken the initiative to find me. Even when we meet, It was just a greeting, and I couldn't speak more than three sentences.

Although I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, I didn't break through this situation after all. Perhaps if this continues, Nangong Yulin will gradually weaken her feelings for me. In that case, she will feel better in her heart.

Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and there are only two days left before the decisive battle. On this day, my rune cavalry and Ballista Legion finally arrived. Zhanke's soldiers are generally more interested in my Ballista Legion, and they are more interested in it. expectations.

As for my more than 1000 rune cavalry, they probably only think of them as guards escorting ballistas.

And I just gave this illusion to the outside world, making them despise my cavalry team. At the critical moment, this is my weapon to give the enemy a head-on blow.

As for the effect of the ghost rune, I am even more confident that my cavalry can definitely make great achievements.

The talisman formations on these horses are usually invisible if they are not activated. They look similar to ordinary horses, so not only the soldiers under Zhanke, but even Zhanke himself didn’t care much about my cavalry .

I didn't explain much.

On this day, the reinforcements from our innocent city arrived, and the affairs of the Zhanke Legion have improved a lot, especially seeing the more than 1000 ballistas we brought.

On the north bank of the Xixi River, those people seemed to remain silent, as if they didn't care about the arrival of reinforcements from our side, and were not even interested in our ballista.

The enemy's indifference makes me feel like I can't help beating my heart. Does the other party have any more powerful weapons?

I couldn't help but whisper in my heart.

In the evening, Zhan Ke set up a banquet for my people. Of course, everyone should not drink too much wine. After all, this is a military camp and a war is about to begin.

The soldiers and I drank for a while, and walked to the Xixi River alone. I couldn't help thinking of the story about the snake spirit named Xixi that Zhanke told me.

The Xixi River is so wide, is it really the result of longing?

Most of this legend is not credible.

I walked along the river for a while, and found a woman in a blue dress standing on a rock in the distance. It was Nangong Yuzhang over there. She was the only one, and Chai Min didn't even follow her.

I hesitated, but I took the initiative to walk over, and I asked her what is she doing here alone?
She said: "It's nothing, just in a daze, what are you doing here if you don't drink with the soldiers?"

I said: "I'll also come over to hang out for a while, and be quiet. Things are connected together these days, and my mind hasn't stopped. I'm a little tired."

Nangong Xixi smiled and said: "When this battle is over, I want to go to the Divination Mountain again, and I want to find the place where Xixi used to practice."

I subconsciously said, "I'll accompany you."

Nangong Xiong let out a "hmm" and did not speak again.

The battleships on the opposite side are brightly lit. In another day, those thousands of warships will cross the river and fight us. I will once again witness the scene of blood flowing into rivers. Wars are everywhere in the Upper Realm!
