"Excuse the troops immediately and lead them to the camp!"
"Yes!"
Troops and militia from prefectures and counties came to assist one after another, and talented people from different places gathered together, and various formations and runes were arranged properly.
The morale of the military and civilians in the city is high, and the weapons in the arsenal are very well-organized. Even without the "Red Dragon Army", they still have the courage to fight this battle.
Wang Jiaqi naturally knew why. If it weren't for Qiantang County's victory last time, how could the surrounding counties and prefectures have such courage?
He also informed the entire city that Zhou Yixian had already set out, and naturally the morale was even higher.
Chapter 121: Demon Kings Gather, Scholars Eat in Eighteen Ways
However, there is one thing that Wang Jiaqi is quite worried about.
Despite the protection of the navy, grain ships were still occasionally capsized by the waves.
The army has gathered together, and the food and necessities for the people and horses are huge every day. If the food supply is cut off, it will become a troublesome problem.
This is what he has been most worried about these days, but he has never told anyone.
The demon camp outside the city.
"Prince Bingling! If that Mr. Zhou dares to come, please leave him to me. I will personally cut him into pieces and avenge my second brother!!!"
As the evil fog rolled, a huge crab slowly emerged from the depths of the fog.
It carried a shell as big as a hill on its back, and its pincers were as huge as the door panels of a city wall. The right pincer was thick and sharp, while the left pincer was slightly broken. Its huge mouth full of fangs kept spitting out fishy and smelly bubbles, and its eyes were burning with rage as it roared at a cloud of black fog.
"Brother Zengda, last time we underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, causing General Zuo to fall prey to that scholar's ambush. This time, the eighteen heroes have gathered together and must conquer Qiantang County and seize the southeastern territory of the Dayu Dynasty! When that happens, the entire population of the prefectures and counties will be eaten by our brothers!"
"My Erlang suffered a tragic misfortune, and it wasn't Prince Bingling's fault!!"
The crab king roared like thunder,
"It's all because of that despicable Mr. Zhou. Only by tearing him into pieces can I relieve the hatred in my heart!!"
After saying that, it suddenly waved its right claw, making a clicking sound, shaking the sea and causing waves to surge and hit the shore, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards it.
If you look closely, you can see that this crab king is a giant.
Its carapace is as vast as an island, its pincers are like city gates, its eyes are as tall as attics, and its eight legs are as thick as courtyard pillars. When it walks, the earth shakes and the mountains shake, and its power is terrifying!
Furthermore, nine demon kings sat on its back, using the crab's shell as their base. They had hidden 180,000 soldiers, their banners fluttering, and a murderous aura rising to the sky!
"Old Crab! If you kill that scholar, you must give me one of your legs."
A demon grinned and spoke.
"I'm not a picky eater, so I'll just make a cold dish with my intestines."
The other demon licked his lips.
"He's a scholar, eating his eyeballs will definitely improve his eyesight!"
"He is a scholar. If he cuts off his tongue and eats it with wine, he will surely become eloquent."
"He's a scholar. His brains are used for hot pot, and his heart and liver are stir-fried. He will definitely become smart if he eats them!"
"He's a scholar. Cut some ribs and stew them. The fragrance will spread thirty miles away. I wouldn't trade them for dragon liver or phoenix marrow!"
"He's a scholar, his beard is just the right amount of fat and lean, chopped into sauerkraut and wrapped into wontons."
The monsters sat around and talked, discussing Zhou Kao's "way of eating" like butchers in the market.
A group of great demon kings sat on the crab's back, discussing Zhou Kao's "way of eating" one after another, as if the scholar had become a fish on the chopping board, at their mercy.
Laughter echoed in the evil fog. Although the bloody storm had not yet arrived, the murderous intent had already spread everywhere.
However, at this moment, a low and cold voice suddenly came from the depths of the black fog:
"Brothers, do not underestimate that scholar. He is a natural-born killer, audacious, and cunning. You must be careful when dealing with him."
The sound was like an icy spike, instantly bringing the originally happy atmosphere to a standstill.
"Don't worry, Third Prince."
A one-eyed old fox grinned, with disdain flashing in his eyes.
"All of us eighteen heroes have cultivated for thousands of years. Even if that scholar has some abilities, it will be useless if he destroys our bodies."
"Hmm...too."
Taishan Saburo pondered for a moment and responded slowly.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed the case.
Not to mention the magical weapons and supernatural powers of each family, just talking about cultivation, ghost immortals do not enter the cycle of reincarnation, even if the physical body is gone, they still have a Yin spirit, and they can reincarnate and start again.
What demon king doesn't have a few secret techniques to save his life? Who doesn't have a way to escape his soul?
They are all great demons who have cultivated for thousands of years and are at the level of ghost immortals. Only those who have treasures and magical powers are qualified to be the true demon kings.
If you are just a poor guy with nothing, you can only hide in the mountains, rivers and swamps to practice in seclusion, and you dare not even build a proper cave.
What you are cultivating is longevity, and you rely on magic weapons and means to save your life.
"Hahaha!"
An ape king clapped his thigh and laughed, "What good can a mortal scholar do, no matter how powerful he is? We have all eighteen demon kings gathered together, with countless magic weapons and powerful soldiers and horses. How could we be afraid of him alone?"
"That's right! Even if he really has some uncanny abilities, what can he do to eighteen ghost immortals?"
Another demon king echoed.
Taishan Saburo listened to everyone's words and felt relieved. He nodded and said, "Yes, this time it is indeed much safer."
He looked towards the distant Qiantang River, his eyes as deep as the abyss:
"With so many soldiers and generals, and countless magical weapons, a small Qiantang County shouldn't be easily captured."
The world is in chaos now, and many heroes are rising up. It is a good time to seize the opportunity!
After a few hundred years of freedom and with some additional cultivation, perhaps he could even achieve eternal life.
"Long live..."
He murmured, a hint of longing in his voice.
What is a thousand-year-old monster?
It cannot be said that it is easy for a monster like him who comes from a wealthy family to become a ghost fairy, but as long as he behaves himself and relies on the protection of his parents, he can always cross the threshold of ghosts and fairies.
But to go one step further and reach the state of "eternal longevity", you must work hard and have the opportunity.
Even nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years is not enough. One year difference is an insurmountable chasm.
Only by truly crossing it can one achieve eternal life on land.
After that, you can slowly practice, build your network, and wait for the Heavenly Palace to pardon you.
That is the real god.
If you don't become a god, you will always be worried...
Naturally, he would not easily tell outsiders about these thoughts.
Outside Qiantang County, Wang Jiaqi personally presided over the construction of defensive fortifications.
He stood on a high slope and directed the army and civilians to use the rammed earth and stone piling method to form a solid protective Great Wall.
"If the demons dare to launch a large-scale attack, we'll just knock down the fortifications one by one!"
He gritted his teeth and roared, with a fire of indomitable will burning in his eyes.
“Even if I don’t die, I will lose a layer of skin!!”
Under the city wall, the people were sweating profusely, carrying stones and reinforcing the barriers, and their morale was high.
Qiantang County has gained experience from the last defense battle and is now well prepared.
Outside the city, fortifications were built with fortified walls and cleared fields, while inside the city, supplies were sufficient and morale was high. Even the rivers in the surrounding area were blocked one by one. Not only were sluices set up to stop the flow, but talismans were also pasted on the Dragon-Breaking Stone.
Monsters with less than three hundred years of cultivation cannot be easily destroyed.
Qiantang County's arrangement left many demon kings at a loss, but many of them were still trying to figure out how to deal with it.
"Old Hulu, why are you just staring blankly in your tent? Are you still thinking about the Third Princess? I have a piece of advice for you: Dragon women are often seriously ill, so it's best not to provoke them."
In the big tent shrouded in demonic fog, a black dragon wearing a black robe and emitting a fishy smell was leaning against the table, grinning.
"roll!"
Chapter 122 Hi hi hi, who is whose prey?
The crocodile king of "Lao Hulu" opened his eyes wide with anger, clenched his claws, and made a crackling sound.
"I'm thinking, Qiantang County is tough, but wouldn't the neighboring Youshi County be tough too?"
"Ha ha!"
The black dragon was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "I was wondering what you were thinking, so this is what you were thinking."
As he was speaking, a demon king with green eyes, scaly armor and a long tongue walked in and sat down in a random seat.
He was wearing black iron armor, with his fangs exposed, and holding a human captive in his hand.
He was a captured civilian. He was so frightened that his soul had left his body. His legs were limp and he kept begging for mercy.
"laugh!"
The demon king raised his hand and slapped the man's head, smashing it to pieces!
His brain burst and blood splattered everywhere, but he didn't care. Instead, he raised his head, opened his mouth, and sucked hard.
He swallowed the whole thing, blood and brain matter included, in one gulp, letting out a satisfied sound.
When only a shriveled skin was left of the man, he threw it away casually. Immediately, seven or eight monsters rushed forward and scrambled to tear the corpse apart. In a moment, not even a bone was left.
"What do you think? I, too, have learned the art of war!"
The Crocodile King snorted coldly, feeling quite complacent.
"Don't be angry, old Hulu."
The demon king who had just eaten dessert waved his hand, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"I'm not laughing at your strategy, but the terrain of Youshi County is rugged, with many mountains and little water. It's not suitable for monsters like us to go there."
"I, Old Crocodile, have a brave general under my command, called Jinxiu Langjun."
The crocodile king didn't take it seriously, but instead showed a bit of pride.
"This man has been hanging out in the mountains and fields for years. He's an expert at ambushes and plundering, and he's quite experienced."
He paused, lowered his voice and said:
"If you send him to Youshi County to plunder and capture 10,000 people, I'll give you half of them."
"really?!"
Upon hearing this, the demon king with green eyes and scales suddenly became alert, his eyes flashing green, and he immediately said:
"Since you, Old Hulu, have sent out Master Jinxiu, I can't be too stingy. I have two generals under my command, Iron and Bronze. You can pick one of them, Old Hulu."
"Let Tongya Erlang go."
"Then it's settled."
The crocodile king grinned, revealing his sharp fangs.
After saying this, the demon king slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Two coppers!"
"The general is here!"
A figure strode in from outside the tent, wearing iron armor, with fangs exposed. It was none other than his capable general "Tongya Erlang".
"Lord Jinxiu, under the command of King Hulu, is going to establish his reputation. I have appointed you to accompany him as his deputy general. You must obey his orders and make no mistakes."
"The general will get the order!"
Tongya Erlang clasped his fists in response to the order, his expression solemn.
The crocodile demon king on the high throne was immediately overjoyed. He laughed heartily and immediately ordered, "Come here! Kill two people and use their blood to boil the cauldron!"
The two captured human civilians were dragged into the tent and were beheaded on the spot before they could beg for mercy. Their blood flowed into two huge bronze tripods.
The Crocodile King personally picked up a tripod, handed it over, raised the tripod in his hand, and said loudly:
