Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

The ethereal words spread out with divine power, and everyone closed their eyes naturally, and sank into their hearts along with the figure.

Then, they seemed to feel something, their expressions became excited, and their closed eyes moved restlessly.

The power of faith in his body slowly dissipated, and was replaced by a faint divine power.

Half a quarter of an hour later, people opened their eyes one after another. They recalled the majestic divine power in their minds, as if the figure towered between heaven and earth, just like what they had seen just now, no, even more powerful than what they had seen before.

While marveling at its power, I also thought of the reminder from another figure.

Someone subconsciously reached out his hand and followed the reminder.

"boom--"

The flame suddenly shot into the air and appeared in front of him, startling the man.

"Fire! It's flames!"

He was startled at first, then he discovered something! His heart was filled with excitement.

"It's really a magic! I can use magic too!"

Along with his exclamation, other people on the scene began to express surprise and sometimes joy like the previous person.

After they sank into their minds, they first saw a hazy and powerful existence with earth-shaking power. At just one glance, they recognized that it was the fairy who saved them.

Afterwards, they were guided by an emotionless voice and saw countless starlights. The voice told them that it was a divine power network, and they could connect to the starlight authority to enter it and learn divine arts!

After they woke up, they found that they could really mobilize a force and display all kinds of magical powers. Only then did they realize that this was all real and not a dream.

Yu Lan simply poked the boulder in front of him lightly with the tip of his gun, and the huge rock in front of him split into two. He was just attaching that force to the tip of the gun.

He was shocked and subconsciously looked at Keqing.

“Is this the power you have bestowed upon us?”

"Anyone who believes in me can gain the power to change their fate..."

Keqing said softly, with a smile in her eyes.

Chapter 629 This is the title

In this way, Keqing gained thousands of believers, and the divine power network gained countless stars.

These starlights will continuously increase divine power and fill her divine power network, and then continue to transform the world, subtly achieving the original plan.

Of course, this process is very long, during which there are also strange influences and the urgent crisis of the collapse of the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, more faith is needed to achieve one's goals faster and more safely.

But is there anyone with more people than the capital?

Even though the capital city was attacked by those strange creatures, the defense of the capital city cannot be underestimated. Don't underestimate the desire of those dignitaries to survive, as well as the survival instinct of those common people to seek benefits and avoid harm.

At this time, people will gather together spontaneously to resist those monsters in order to survive. That is why it is very difficult for Keqing and those monsters to wipe out the capital in such a short time. This also means that they can leave themselves more time.

"Are you saying that there is a high chance that soldiers will break through the South Gate and the West Gate?"

Looking at the map in front of her, Keqing pointed at the mark on it and asked.

"Yes, the person stationed at the South Gate is a good friend of mine. He is an unconventional person. I think if he encounters something like this, he will immediately understand that the chaos was triggered by the internal retainers, and he should be able to lead his troops to break through immediately."

"The commander of the West Camp near the West Gate is a martial artist. He has strong Qi and superb martial arts skills. When he was young, he had fought against zombies and made great contributions. He has a resolute judgment and is not expected to be defeated easily."

Yu Lan spoke slowly. Although their Beijing troops were not as carefully selected as the Imperial Guards, and some children of aristocratic families would sneak in from time to time to gain merit, they were at the feet of the emperor and had enough food three times a day, so the soldiers had good physical strength and did not fall behind in their usual training.

Moreover, the commanders of the four camps in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest are all veterans who had made great military achievements when they were young. Although they are not bad in martial arts, they have all cultivated the true qi realm and will not be easily killed.

It was for this reason that Yu Lan proposed to first send troops to the vicinity of the four cities to rescue and gather those troops, and then transform the troops that could be gathered into combat power, so as to rush straight to the capital, open a way and provide rescue.

"This will increase our combat effectiveness. With more people, we will be more secure and have more energy to rescue the people inside."

"After all, if we have a thousand people going in, it would be like a few waves in the sea, which would not stir up anything at all."

Keqing agreed with the other party's proposal.

But a thousand people are not enough, what about tens of thousands?

"I have a large army behind me, all of whom are the people I rescued."

Seeing Keqing suddenly speak, Yu Lan bowed.

"You have a kind heart, which is a blessing for the Great Zhou."

"I have handed these people over to the three daughters of the Gu family to lead. After they became new leaders with my help, they scattered to help others and came to the capital while rescuing people. I think the number of people who want to become citizens is probably tens of thousands. What do you think, General Yu?"

What? Naturally, they asked whether these people could participate in the attack.

The ability to open up the city.

"Do the people the princess mentioned also know magic?"

"nature."

Yu Lan paused and thought for a moment.

Lin Sheng on the side was happy. He didn't expect that there were so many people. Although they were civilians, all the people of the Great Zhou had been conscripted to serve in the local military service. They could be considered half soldiers.

Moreover, with the magic bestowed by the princess, the combat power will certainly be greater than before, which is a great help.

"I didn't expect you to save so many people. This is a great help to us. Maybe we can take them directly to the capital for rescue."

"No."

But Yu Lan shook her head.

"Although there are magic arts, the city is no more complicated than outside the city. Tens of thousands of civilians have not received systematic training and are difficult to command. This will inevitably lead to bad consequences."

"Our main mission this time is to rescue people, not to destroy those monsters. Our goal is to rescue as many people as possible in the shortest time and with the least sacrifice. Can you guarantee that the people will understand and obey your commands?"

Lin Sheng paused, raised the corners of his mouth, and said honestly: "No."

Yu Lan sighed: "That's right, professional matters should be left to professionals. This kind of thing is what we are responsible for, so how can we leave it to the people?"

"what do you think?"

Yu Lan threw the topic to Keqing. Keqing thought about how the common people had divided into teams to rescue people everywhere. They really had no plan and just rushed forward in a swarm and used magic to destroy them. After a few times, their magic power was exhausted in an instant.

Although things became smoother under Gu Sheng's command, and they learned how to maneuver and save money, as the number of rescuers increased, new and old believers were mixed, and the uneven proficiency would worsen. I'm afraid that even when they get here, they won't be able to act as a controllable whole, and some training will be needed.

So Keqing nodded to show her agreement.

"In that case, let's do as we said before. First, gather the remaining soldiers around and see if there are any difficulties in other camps. Once we have gathered them, we can go to the city to rescue them one by one."

"We can then enter from the four city gates separately. This will expand the scope and help rescue more survivors."

"But if this is the case, won't the progress be slow? By then, where is the inner city and where is the emperor..."

Xin Hong on the side suddenly said.

If all the forces were gathered together, it would obviously be much faster to open a rescue channel directly to the inner city than to disperse the rescue. If the arrangement was made according to the young princess's, wouldn't the civilians be the focus of treatment, and the priority of the imperial city would be lowered?

It's not that it's bad, but if something goes wrong with the emperor and he punishes him in the end...

Seeing that Xin Hong was hesitant, Keqing could see that he had something to say even though he hadn't finished speaking.

If she could see it, Song Lan beside her could naturally see it too.

"Your Majesty has the inner city to defend him, the palace to protect him, and the guards to protect him. He should be safe and there won't be any problems for a while."

"It is the common people who need our help more. The common people are part of the Great Zhou, and they are also the small families that make up the Great Zhou. If the common people are gone, the Great Zhou will exist in name only. Don't think too much. If the emperor really wants to hold me accountable, I will bear it all."

Song Lan scolded, his eyes involuntarily looking at Keqing beside him, and Xin Hong was distracted for a moment, but when he saw the general's eyes looking at the little princess, he immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, what are they afraid of? They are all believers of Xuannv and have mastered powers beyond ordinary people. Even if it is the emperor, so what? They are working for the gods!

"Yes, yes, Jiang Jun is right. Without further ado, we should split up into several groups and go to the rescue!"

"Those civilians can't clear the way, but if we disperse them and let them clean up those monsters, maybe it will be feasible!"

Xin Hong reacted quickly and nodded, but his eyes were looking at Keqing inconspicuously.

With the gods backing us up, what can even the emperor say?

"There's no need to put all the pressure of rescue on you. Just save as many people as you can." Keqing didn't care about their thoughts, but continued according to her plan, "After all, rescue can't rely on you alone. The right way is to work together inside and outside."

"It's not just up to you to take action, the people inside also have to take corresponding actions."

But how can they let the people inside know of their presence and get them to cooperate? If they could break out, they wouldn't be the only ones out now.

You have to know that there are only a small number of soldiers from the Beijing Army inside, most of them are the Imperial Guards, and the Imperial Guards only obey the orders of the Emperor.

"You guys start the rescue outside, and I will go in and enlighten them myself. This way, instead of the monsters surrounding them, we will attack them from both sides."

When Keqing said that she would go in alone, Yu Lan suddenly realized.

Yes, I have fallen into a misunderstanding. If the princess can fly over, it should be easy for me to enter the city. With the princess's notification and the magical power, I am afraid that the problem can be easily solved.

Besides, the princess’ parents are also in the city, so the princess must be worried too!

Soon, after some discussion, the team was divided into four groups and headed to the three city walls to carry out rescue operations and gather the remaining soldiers.

The remaining teams stayed

They started to set up camp on the spot and welcomed the many people who came later.

Of course, the amount of food consumed by so many people is huge, not to mention the crowds gathering behind. Keqing gave some instructions and assigned Lin Sheng a task, asking him to go to the nearby county to move the food that she had stored in the warehouse just in case.

She had hidden a lot of grain in such places before, including one in Tongzhou Prefecture and some near the capital.

The Chamber of Commerce she secretly ran had grown strong in the past few years. Coupled with the profits from her research, it could be said that almost every county had its own food stored just in case.

In normal times when there is no disaster, the Chamber of Commerce stationed in each city will purchase new grain and then sell the old grain at a low price to the poor people to make room for the new grain in the warehouses. In times of disaster, they will use the old grain to distribute porridge in order to stabilize the price of grain and appease the refugees.

It is also because of this that, although disasters occur frequently, because Keqing is willing to spend money, the price of grain has remained stable. Generally speaking, before the grain price is guaranteed, they can wait for the relief grain from the court to arrive.

Of course, apart from Tongzhou Prefecture and the areas occupied by the Goddess Sect, there are people like Song Zhi who embezzled stored grain with the intention of rebelling. If they take the initiative to distribute porridge and expose the existence of the granary, they will become glaring targets.

Didn’t you see that the Tan family was forced to “donate grain”?

Thinking of her granaries scattered across cities, Keqing felt a little regretful.

They were stored at great cost, but now, as cities fell one after another, they were forced to be buried in the ruins.

The thought flashed through his mind, but it was enough to prove that the original decision to take precautions was correct. Fortunately, the previous arrangements allowed for smooth resolution of the accidents encountered later, whether it was the Tongzhou natural disaster or here.

After all, human beings cannot live without food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Once the biggest problem of food is solved, other aspects can be easily achieved.

……

……

According to the previous plan, Yu Lan, Lin Sheng, and Xin Hong led three teams to the remaining three city gates to investigate and rescue.

At this time, Keqing arrived at the city gate of the capital.

The once prosperous and majestic city gate now stood silent and lonely, as if there was no one around.

Torn cloth, rotten fruits and vegetables, as well as all kinds of blood and minced meat were scattered in front of the city gate, adding to the mess and chaos.

The originally towering huge city gate has now been completely broken and collapsed on the ground. The city wall is also covered with traces of various sizes as if caused by huge objects, and these traces also testify to how intense the situation was at that time.

Looking ahead, through the ruined city gate, you can see the dark and silent ruined streets inside. The sky is dim, there is no light, and the darkness is like a huge monster's open mouth, attracting lost tourists.

Keqing thought she would see some strange traces at the city gate, but unexpectedly there were none.

Only the blood on the ground that had not yet dried up proved that a monster had wreaked havoc a few days ago.

“What a terrible smell…”

The little silver dragon was stimulated and woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt the extremely filthy smell, which was so strong that it made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"what happened?"

Keqing couldn't help but ask as she rubbed the little silver dragon's tender horns with her fingertips.

"Mom, there's a big guy in there... The smell is disgusting."

"Big guy? Is it more powerful than the monster we saw before?"

She did encounter many strange monsters on the way, but those monsters were quite ordinary. They might be powerful to ordinary people, but to her, they could be killed one by one sword. Even if she encountered some more powerful ones, their power was not strong enough to make the little silver dragon feel disgusted.

However, the little silver dragon felt "threatened" just by the aura inside the city gate. Could it be that because it had devoured too many living creatures, the monsters had evolved into some powerful individuals?
