Da Cang night watchman

The soldiers defending the city have work to do.

One hundred thousand elite cavalrymen took advantage of their rest and attacked the group of fish that had escaped the net fiercely.

Occasionally, an enemy expert would break through the blockade of 100,000 elite cavalry and rush to the top of the city wall, and there would still be experts to fight against them...

As soon as Ji Qianling made a move, a long river of calculation appeared, and two generals whose cultivation had reached the saint level were caught in it. Their faces changed drastically, because they suddenly found that there were unpredictable mysteries all around them, and a long river of calculation interpreted the style of the formation.

retreat!

Just as he was about to leave, a figure in white suddenly flew across the sky.

The two saints turned around suddenly.

Then he saw Jian Wushuang's face, a handsome face that was calm and indifferent.

Chi!
A light red ribbon appeared out of thin air and passed across the brows of the two saints.

The saint was shocked: "The way of the sword has no rules!"

puff!
The saints' divine personalities exploded at the same time.

The red ribbon fluttered up like a startled butterfly and landed on Jian Wushuang's head, turning into a red hair rope.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The sun sets!

The battle has been going on for five hours.

Muyang Mountain was completely destroyed, blood flowed like a river, more than half of the million defenders were killed or wounded, and more than half of the invading army that was in a stalemate with them also suffered casualties.

The brutality of this battle was unprecedented.

Both sides are reckless and willing to fight to the death.

However, the truly tragic battlefield was not on Muyang Mountain, but on the 300-mile plain between Muyang Mountain and Xihe City.

The plain was completely dyed red with blood.

The suffocating smell of blood filled the sky and the ground.

Millions of troops from the Ziqi Wen Dynasty and tens of millions of war beasts crossed the Muyang Gap and went deep into the hinterland, dreaming of taking Xihe City in one fell swoop with the force of millions of elite soldiers and tens of millions of war beasts at lightning speed. However, they encountered a war god in white!
Lin Su led 100,000 elite soldiers from Xihe City and blocked their invasion route.

Theoretically speaking, a hundred thousand elite soldiers could be wiped out by a single charge from a million-strong army. However, Lin Su's peerless military tactics changed the predetermined outcome.

Creating something out of nothing, using someone else as a substitute, surrounding the lonely to save the lonely, the battlefield became indistinguishable between reality and illusion.

The warships fought each other for five hours and were completely destroyed.

About one-tenth of the soldiers broke out of the military encirclement and became a real threat to Xihe City.

However, Xihe City also has 100,000 elite soldiers.

In a situation where the forces are equal, the defenders who are well-rested are naturally more powerful than the invading army. After a few chops, not a single invading enemy could even step onto the top of Xihe City.

After five and a half hours, Lin Su's mental strength was exhausted.

The illusion created by the art of war gradually dissipated.

The commanders of the remaining hundred warships stared at the warships disappearing one after another, with cold sweat on their backs...

"The art of war is an illusion!" a commander screamed.

"Yes, General, we...we fought for five hours, and all we defeated were our own people!" A military advisor next to him turned frighteningly pale.

"Damn it! Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" Hundreds of warships roared in unison. Ninety percent of their troops had been lost. The humiliation of being mocked by the art of war brought their anger, repression, and murderous intent to the peak.

However, just as the warships rushed outside the city with the most violent wind...

Nine golden lights swirled up from Xihe City.

Along with the golden light, a huge green lotus bloomed.

The three warships crashed into the edge of the green lotus and were torn to pieces with a bang.

The remaining one hundred warships stopped at the same time. One hundred commanders stared at the huge green lotus on the top of Xihe City with sullen faces: "The formation has been repaired!"

Far west of the Muyang Mountain.

The commander of the Ziqiwen Dynasty had blood in his eyes: "Damn it!"

boom!
He heavily inserted the huge flag in his hand, and a big hole was made in the warship under his feet. The aura from his body shook the four generals away.

The four generals looked at each other.

"General, the Xihe formation has been repaired. The surprise attack has failed! A strong attack is useless." A military advisor sighed softly: "Let's withdraw the troops for now!"

The commander's face changed color: "Retreat!"

The retreat horn sounded, and the army of the Ziqiwen Dynasty, which was still fighting fiercely, retreated together.

The Eastern Region army, which had been on the brink of death for five and a half hours, was completely limp and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

Ji Qianling looked at the retreating Ziqiwen Dynasty army and finally a smile appeared on his face.

She looked at Lin Su, startled slightly, stepped in front of Lin Su, stretched out her hand, and held his shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"I'm a little tired! Let me rest for a while." He sat down.

When he sat down, his face was very pale.

"Practicing military tactics is the most stressful!" A voice came down from the sky, it was Jian Wushuang: "Brother Lin, rest assured, I will protect you!"

shhhhhh...

Nineteen generals, led by the city defense general Lu Tiangao, landed around Lin Su at the same time. All of them had an ecstatic look on their faces, ready to express their feelings on the battlefield mixed with flattery to Lin Su, but suddenly seeing the situation in front of them, all the generals put away their smiles at the same time, stood straight behind Lin Su, and bowed to Lin Su's back.

Above the sky, a large group of officials appeared at the same time. They were the Xihe officials headed by He Paikong.

Seeing Lin Su meditating with his eyes closed, they also stopped the wind, stood on the top of the city wall, and surrounded Lin Su.

The battle just now was extremely dangerous.

Everyone had a premonition that the city would be destroyed and people would die.

But Lin Su stepped forward, displayed his peerless military skills, killed millions of enemies, bought them five hours of time, and completed the impossible defense.

The battlefield seemed like a very distant word, but in these five hours, it was no longer so distant.

Hero seems to be a very distant word, but under Lin Su’s battle flag, it is no longer distant.

No matter what camp these officials and soldiers were in, at this moment, the word "hero" emerged from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Su was sitting cross-legged in front of him.

This literary genius whose reputation is at the peak of his powers.

This third-rank inspector who entered Xihe City caused a lot of discussion among people.

After this battle, the label on him was rewritten.

He is not only a genius in literature, he is also a god of war on the battlefield.

He is not only a troublemaker in Xihe who causes trouble as soon as he appears, he is also a decisive star on the battlefield who can determine the overall situation.

His appearance may make some people unhappy.

However, everyone cannot deny that if he had not appeared just now, whether you were happy or unhappy, it probably would not affect your going to the Nine Nether Hell.

An hour later, Lin Su slowly opened his eyes.

He Paiyun stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Lord Lin has made a great contribution to the battlefield. On behalf of the 300 million people of Xihe, I would like to thank Lord Lin for protecting the city and saving our lives."

When he bowed, all the officials behind him bowed at the same time.

Lin Su stood up slowly: "The victory of the battle was not achieved by me alone. The one hundred thousand soldiers defending the city, with thirty thousand killed or injured, was my credit. The masters repaired the formation, was my credit. The countless masters who stepped in to protect the city and save lives were also my credit! The war is not over yet, so it is not the time to discuss credit. Let's put it aside for now! Let's talk about another thing."

He Paiyun asked, "What do you want to say, sir?"

"What kind of incident happened to the ancient formation?"

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention...

The biggest crisis today is actually the sudden destruction of the main base of the formation.

Because the formation base was destroyed, the formation lost its protective power.

It was just a little bit short of completely destroying Xihe City.

Everyone also wants to ask what caused this serious change.

He Paiyun shook his head slightly: "I am not very knowledgeable about the art of formations. Master Zeng, please answer your question."

His gaze fell on the face of a Taoist priest in green clothes beside him. This Taoist priest in green clothes, whose name was Zeng Huanxian, was a top-level formation master, and he had always been the one maintaining the ancient formation.

Zeng Huanxian bowed slightly and said, "My Lord! The change in the ancient formation is extremely bizarre. It is clearly an internal destruction. I interpreted the 'tracing the origin of the formation' with the true meaning of the formation, and I saw the entire formation scene of the change, but I still couldn't find any signs of anyone entering. The person who can trace the origin of the formation without any leakage can only be a peerless master who has reached the second level of the Myriad Realms, the 'True Realm', and has the blood of invisibility!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

The realm of all things also has three realms.

The first time entering into the world of all things is called "the realm of manifestation".

The second realm is the "realm of truth".

The third realm is the “realm of ultimate image”.

The vast majority of people are only in the realm of manifestation. It can be said that ninety-nine percent of all things in the world are manifestations.

Strictly speaking, the realm of manifestation cannot be regarded as the real universe. It is just a step above saints. It is a transitional stage before entering the real universe, a fusion stage, also known as "illusion."

It is extraordinary to step into the realm of truth; this is the real great power. Therefore, most of the so-called great supernatural powers that are known to the world as reaching heaven and earth refer to the truth.

And the invisible bloodline...

There are too many invisible bloodlines in the world, but most of them cannot hide their tracks in this ancient formation. Here, there is a magical race: the Hidden Race.

The invisibility skills of the Hidden Clan are the best in the world.

Therefore, when Zeng Huanxian said this, the meaning of his words was already clear.

A voice entered Lin Su's ears: "Among the Hidden Clan, there are three people who have reached the Realm of Truth. Moreover, the Hidden Clan in this world is actually an alien race. A thousand years ago, the Hidden Clan lived in the Tongshan system of the Ziqiwen Dynasty, and only came here eight hundred years ago."

Lin Su nodded gently: "Master Zeng, can you show me the scene you saw with your formation tracing ability?"

"If you want to see it, you can!" Zeng Huanxian said, "Please enter the battle arena!"

The formation platform is a truly top-secret place.

How can ordinary people enter?

Today, four of them entered together.

Zeng Huanxian, He Paiyun, Lin Su, Ji Qianling.

Zeng Huanxian's finger turned into a phantom and pointed at the array platform, and an image appeared in the void.

This is the origin of the formation.

It has the same purpose as Wen Dao's tracing back to the past.

The scene returns to the moment the formation was destroyed.

In Ji Qianling's eyes, the long river of mathematics was extremely silent.

He Paiyun's eyeballs seemed to have turned into two pots, like wine pots or chamber pots, anyway, very strange.

Where is Lin Su?
When the spiritual eyes of heaven and earth opened, everything in this scene was taken in.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated.

There was a loud bang, the formation base was destroyed, and the raised dust made the surroundings hazy.

nobody!
Absolutely not!

Before the array base was destroyed, no one entered and the array platform door was closed.

After the array base was destroyed, even though the sky was filled with dust, everyone looked from all angles but still could not see anyone.

The origin of the formation was traced back nine times.

The four of them gathered around the image and looked at it from every angle.

The image froze at the moment when the dust completely dissipated.

He Paiyun blinked, and the pot disappeared from his eyes. "My cultivation is not high, but I still have good eyesight. There are thousands of invisibility techniques in the world. If you have not reached the realm of true image, it is probably difficult to hide your presence under my 'Pot'. Therefore, I agree with Master Zeng's opinion that this intruder must be above the realm of true image, and possesses a unique bloodline of invisibility."

The world in the pot!

Ji Qianling's heart skipped a beat, she knew that this was a natural ability, very special and very powerful. When the pot entered the body, practitioners would get twice the result with half the effort. When the pot entered the eyes, the whole world would be in his eyes. When the pot entered his heart, he would become a hero.

This old man looks very aggrieved, but in fact he is different from ordinary people. You may underestimate him.

Ji Qianling continued: "From my perspective, I agree with Master Zeng's opinion."

Four people viewed the same image, and three came to the same conclusion.

Lin Su slowly raised his eyes: "That's really smart!"

"Those who can reach the realm of truth are all truly powerful. How can their methods not be superb? This matter may be difficult to follow up. After all, we have no real evidence. Even if we break into the mountain gate of the Hidden Clan, they will definitely deny it." Ji Qianling said.

There were only four of them here, and they had reached a high degree of consensus. Therefore, she didn't need to be vague and pointed out the name of the Hidden Clan to their faces.

"The Hidden Clan?" Lin Su asked, "Are you sure this person is from the Hidden Clan?"

He Paiyun and Zeng Huanxian looked at his face at the same time, their eyes full of surprise...

Hasn't a consensus been reached?

Lin Su smiled faintly: "When I say he is brilliant, I don't mean his cultivation and skills are brilliant, but his methods are brilliant."

"Method?" Ji Qianling asked, "What do you mean?"

"This person's cultivation may not be very high, and his invisibility technique may not be very strong. The invisibility technique he uses is not the invisibility technique in the conventional sense. He is not deceiving our vision, but our psychological inertia!"

All three of them were shocked...

He Paiyun asked, "Master Lin, what did you find out?"

"You three watch!" Lin Su's eyebrows moved, and he traced back his shadow!

This is his own form of retracement...

The image presented was the scene they had watched nine times...

nobody!
"Look at this stone!" As soon as Lin Su finished speaking, a spot of light circled around a stone and marked it.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on it. This was a piece of jade foundation stone, nothing surprising about it.

The great formation was destroyed.

Landslides and landslides.

The cornerstones fly together.

Some exploded, some hit the outer walls, and this marked bluestone smashed into the ground!

Zeng Huanxian frowned and said, "What's so special about this foundation stone? I can't tell."

He Paiyun's eyes lit up slightly: "I noticed something unusual. When this bluestone flew up, it didn't roll over! It's different from the other bluestones."

Ji Qianling's eyes lit up: "It's also very strange that the bluestone sank into the ground. This foundation should be extremely hard. Other stones would shatter when they hit the wall or the floor, but this bluestone actually smashed directly into the ground and could not be seen. What's even more strange is that the floor it smashed through was restored to its original state! This is not an ordinary bluestone, this is the power of the earth rules!"

Lin Su nodded: "So, this bluestone is not a stone. He is the intruder we have been looking for!"

"Intruder? Turned into a fossil?" He Paiyun's whole body was shocked.

"Yes, the intruder is not a member of the Hidden Clan's Wanxiang Second Realm, but a Saint-level person. This person can turn his body into a fossil! This is also an invisibility technique."

Invisibility is not just about deceiving the eyes.

This spy uses another kind of psychology to deceive others.

He turned into blue stone and was right under everyone's eyes from beginning to end. However, everyone ignored his existence and took great pains to search for the invisible man who did not exist in the air.

"Earth Clan!" Ji Qianling's eyes flashed.

He Paiyun and Zeng Huanxian's hearts were beating like crazy.

Lin Su slowly raised his head: "After entering Xihe City, I heard a rumor that there is a deep conflict between the Hidden Clan and the Earth Clan. Lord He, is it true?"

"Yes!" He Paiyun nodded.

"That's why I said that the people of the Earth Clan are very clever. When they lured the foreign enemies to invade, they didn't forget to frame them. They planned to use us to get rid of the Hidden Clan!"

He Paiyun let out a long breath: "Master Lin, based on this alone, can you say that the Earth Clan is a traitor?"

"It's not just that!" Lin Su said, "The Purple Qi Wen Dynasty army suddenly appeared, but the beacon tower thousands of miles away was not activated at all. Lord He, don't you think it's against common sense?"

He Paiyun nodded slowly: "Millions of troops were dispatched, completely concealed from the beacon tower, and traveled underground according to the rules of the earth. The Earth Clan is indeed uniquely endowed. However, just based on these two suspicious points, it is not enough to hold the Earth Clan, one of the top four clans, accountable."

Why?

Because this is not direct evidence.

Even if the person who destroyed the formation is identified as someone who is proficient in the rules of earth, it does not mean that he is from the Earth Clan. There are many people in the world who are proficient in the rules of earth, and they are not unique to the Earth Clan.

Millions of troops silently passed the sight of the beacon tower and appeared outside Xihe City. The Earth Clan, which was known as "the sky is the underground", was indeed the most convenient to operate, but they were not the only ones who could do it.

If these two pieces of evidence are used to question the Earth Clan, how could they possibly admit it?

"Of course it's not enough, so we have to arrange the next test!" Lin Su said.

"Next test?" He Paiyun asked, "How to test?"

"Destroy the Purple Qi Wen Dynasty's army!"

"Extinction?"

"Yes!" Lin Su said: "When people face extreme pressure, they often reveal their hidden secrets. I want to see how many secrets are behind this sudden intrusion of the purple army!"

Annihilate the Purple Qi Dynasty army...

He Paiyun hesitated.

He had personally seen the size of the Ziqiwen Dynasty's army, which numbered as many as three million.

A bloody battle during the day, losing millions!

But there are still two million.

The total number of troops stationed in Muyang Mountain was only one million. They encountered the enemy in a hurry and suffered a great loss, losing more than half of their troops. The remaining half are probably still in shock.

There were hundreds of thousands of people defending the city, and 30,000 of them died in a bloody battle during the day.

In other words, the total military strength of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty is only around 600,000.

The invading force they faced was more than three times their size.

In this situation, the best way is to close the city and use the ancient formation to guard Xihe, then send a message to His Majesty and ask for support. You absolutely should not go out of the city to fight.

He Paiyun said: "Lord Lin is a master of military tactics, and this state is convinced. However, at the moment, our side is weak, and this state believes that we should first report to His Majesty and wait for reinforcements to arrive before we can carry out the plan of clearing out the enemy."

Lin Su shook his head slightly: "Lord He, this method is not appropriate! On the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting. If we ask for help, we will lose the most precious opportunity. The enemy can fight if they can, and retreat if they can't. As soon as they retreat, the contact with the traitor will be completely cut off. How can we use them to identify the traitor? And then eliminate the traitor?"

Ji Qianling was confused...

She felt that both of them were right...

Judging from the current situation, the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty has already taken the lead. The Xihe City formation has been repaired. Under the careful protection of everyone, it will not be taken advantage of again in the short term. As long as the Immortal Dynasty army arrives, the offensive and defensive situation will be easy. Therefore, she completely accepted He Paiyun's decision.

However, she also felt that what Lin Su said was right.

Once the battle in Xihe is reported to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely send reinforcements.

With such a big commotion, those people from the Ziqiwen Dynasty saw that the situation was not right, so why didn't they retreat?

Once they retreated, the war was over. There would be no evidence to prove whether the Earth Clan was involved or acted as traitors.

He Paiyun said, "Lord Lin said that the opportunity for battle is fleeting. Do you really think that we have a chance in this pursuit?"

Lin Su smiled: "Your Excellency, look at it this way! A million purple army besieged Xihe, and my 100,000 soldiers defending the city killed more than 90% of them. This is just the result of passive defense. What would happen if we took the initiative to attack?"

In He Paiyun's eyes, a pot of light swirled around...

One circle, two circles, three circles...

The light pot suddenly stopped: "When will Lord Lin attack?"

"Right now! Right now!"

He Paiyun was shocked: "The war just ended, and we have just started to rest..."

"Master He, do you think this is not a good time to send out troops?"

"Of course not!"

Lin Su smiled and said, "If Your Excellency can't think of it, then the other side's commander can't think of it either!"

He raised the small tiger flag in his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Master He, this tiger flag is still in my hand. Your suggestion is for reference only. The final decision is in my hands!"

The sound fell.

The person has disappeared.

The next moment, Lin Su landed on the top of the city wall.

On the top of the city wall, soldiers were lying on the ground in a mess, some were still bandaging their wounds. The commander-in-chief was standing under the highest flag, gazing into the sky with a look of deep sorrow on his face.

He knew the war was not over.

He knew that this war was extremely complicated.

In the land of Xihe, there is no uncomplicated war.

As long as war breaks out, even the simplest things will become complicated.

Because there are not only external enemies here, but also internal troubles. The thirty-six alien races are intertwined here and cannot be provoked or touched. This has always been the biggest headache for the border troops.

It's okay on weekdays, because the one who should worry is the prefect and the city lord, not him.

But when it comes to war, it is a commander like him who becomes troubled.

At this moment, a large flag suddenly lit up, seeming to dispel the thick night.

Under his banner, a handsome young man showed his face...

"Greetings, Commander!" Lu Tiangao stepped in front of him and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Commander!" Generals from all directions came and knelt on one knee.

After a bloody battle during the day, Lin Su has completely conquered this group of veterans.

As a soldier, what I admire most is a commander who is a master of military strategy.

And Lin Su is truly an expert in military strategy.

Killing millions of enemies in one battle...

Under absolutely impossible circumstances, he managed to turn the tide...

Yu Jun, he is Dingding.

To the people, he is their savior.

Lin Su's eyes swept across the faces of the generals and the eager soldiers below... (End of this chapter)
