The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Zhou Jiale saw that the enemy army was defeated thousands of miles away, and he led tens of thousands of soldiers to pursue them all the way, even to the territory of the former Iron Bear Empire.

The demons had not yet re-established a defensive line here. Facing the enemy troops that were chasing them all the way, they were a little impatient and tried their best to stop the pursuers led by Zhou Jiale.

At this time, the remaining soldiers and horses of the demons were all elite puppet troops and demon warriors. They were extremely powerful. Although there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses left behind, they still temporarily blocked Zhou Jiale's tens of thousands of troops. a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, dozens of demon mages in the rear actually released a lot of large-scale killing magic directly at the two armies that were fighting fiercely. Suddenly, soldiers from both sides on the battlefield began to fall in pieces, but Because there were more soldiers on the side of the Qinglong Empire, it was naturally the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire who died more.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jiale quickly led his troops to retreat. At the same time, he was also very afraid of the demons' terrible strategy of losing both sides.

Afterwards, after he told Ye Tianlong and Luo Chenguang about this encounter, both of them concluded that this actually showed that they had pushed the demons to the extreme. After all, those demons had never used this kind of lose-lose strategy before.

Now those demons should want to buy some time so that the new defense line can be completed. If they continue to pursue and fight against them before then, those demons will continue to be anxious and desperate.

In order to avoid too many casualties, and at the same time, it would take some time to digest the newly occupied territory, so after discussion, Ye Tianlong and Luo Chenguang decided to stop the entire army from attacking, start to shrink their troops, and switch from offense to defense.

After the entire army stopped attacking, Ye Tianlong and the others also had time to search for the human survivors hiding in various places.

To Ye Tianlong's surprise, he actually found more than two million human survivors in the newly recovered areas. Although most of these survivors were weak and had little fighting ability, what Ye Tianlong valued was that these survivors were Talents who have received formal education, after these people take good care of their health, can become primary school teachers and help them educate more people under their rule.

To be honest, although many of the soldiers under his command have good combat effectiveness, they are really lacking in knowledge and culture. Most of them cannot even recognize common words. That is, those officers and non-commissioned officers, in order to continue to be promoted, will Forced to learn some cultural knowledge.

And Ye Tianlong originally had too few educated people, many of whom were literati from the former Song Dynasty with ulterior motives. He didn't dare to use it. Now he has gained more than two million modern humans with serious education in the real world. For For Ye Tianlong, it was like a long drought followed by gentle rain.

Later, I learned that the reason why there are so many human survivors in this small piece of land is because the Xinghan Empire's planting skills, which are almost rooted in instinct, allow them to plant crops in many incredible places. Only then was he able to secretly and barely support a population of more than two million people under the eyes of the demons.

What Ye Tianlong pays most attention to here is a new type of fungus cultivated by the survivors. This fungus is slightly smaller than ordinary mushrooms, but the mushroom meat is firmer and even tastes like meat. After According to experts' research, its nutrition is two to three times higher than that of mushrooms. The most important thing is that it can be stored for a long time after being dried and is the main ration for those survivors.

Ye Tianlong felt that it had great potential, so he asked his experts to continue to research and improve this fungus, which was named Pork Mushroom by the survivors. At the same time, he found some places that were not suitable for growing normal crops to grow these Pork Mushrooms. By then, the empire would also be able to grow the fungus. One more food source.

And just when Ye Tianlong began to work hard to digest the newly recovered territory and was busy dealing with internal affairs, the demons who had been beaten to death were planning an assassination against Ye Tianlong.

The assassination of the demons is not to send assassins to kill Ye Tianlong face to face. After all, in this small world, their strength is limited, and they can only display the second level strength at most, and they are not already the third level strength at all. Ye Tianlong's opponent.

So these demons came up with a dirty trick, which was to use the curse technique to directly kill Ye Tianlong with a spell from the air.

For this reason, those demons summoned dozens of demon mages from all over the place who were good at curses, and then had someone steal a water cup that Ye Tianlong had used for a long time, so that they could follow the smell on it and let the curse magic Precisely applied to Ye Tianlong.

To be honest, the cost of casting a curse spell is very high, especially if you want to directly curse an enemy to death, the caster will probably have to pay a large amount of his life as the price, which is completely killing. One thousand enemies, eight hundred self-destructions, and this time the person who was cursed to death was a third-level master like Ye Tianlong who had the luck of a country to protect his body, so I'm afraid not a single one of the dozens of demon mages who joined forces to cast curses would survive. , will die together with Ye Tianlong.

However, these demons all feel that it is worth it. If this deal of using dozens of second-level demon mages in exchange for the life of Ye Tianlong, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, can really succeed, then the Qinglong Empire will inevitably be disrupted. After all, according to what they knew, the Crown Prince of the Qinglong Empire was only over three years old and was unable to preside over state affairs. Besides Ye Tianlong, there was no other person with enough prestige in the Qinglong Empire who could step forward in time. Take charge of the overall situation.

At that time, they can take advantage of the Qinglong Empire's civil strife to launch a counterattack and regain all the lost territory.

At this time, Ye Tianlong was completely unaware of the assassination targeting him. He got up early that day as usual and went to deal with various government affairs that had not been completed yesterday. As a result, he had just reviewed the After a few memorials, I suddenly felt like my eyes were blurring and I was a little dizzy.

This was obviously extremely abnormal for a master-level master like Ye Tianlong, so he immediately became vigilant and wanted to look for any poisons around him.

But before he could figure out what was going on, his vision went dark and he completely fainted on the desk.

At this time, Ye Tianlong's soul was being dragged downwards by a vast expanse of bottomless darkness. Ye Tianlong struggled desperately, but to no avail. As he sank deeper and deeper, he felt his consciousness begin to sink. Becoming more and more numb, if there are no accidents, his soul will soon fall into complete silence.

But a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed out on the forehead of Ye Tianlong's soul body, and then the golden light spread quickly, quickly dispelling the darkness surrounding Ye Tianlong's body.

However, Ye Tianlong's soul body was also quickly transformed during this process into a middle-aged man with golden skin, a pair of golden wings on his back, and a majestic expression.

Ye Tianlong's consciousness was quickly suppressed to a corner of his soul body, and he completely lost control of his soul.

"It's really troublesome. I didn't expect that this kid would be plotted with such a sinister curse before he could grow to the level of a grand master. As a result, I can only show up in advance to take control of this body! "

The middle-aged man who had seized control of Ye Tianlong's soul muttered to himself regretfully, and waved his hands vigorously to both sides. Suddenly, a large golden flame was generated out of thin air, forming two waves of fire that swept towards the darkness. Tear these darknesses apart as easily as a curtain.
