Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 64: God's will is unpredictable
Just when Mo Yi was surrounded by the dark golden figures of the demon clan, the battle situation under Yonghui City became tense, as if affected by the dark power of the ten thousand year old black crystal. At this time, the dark knights of the Kongming clan seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and launched a desperate attack on the Ruoye army!
“Woo-woo-woo—woo—”
The sound of drums and horns, as well as the thunderous roars of hundreds of thousands of dark knights, made the residents of Yonghui City panic-stricken.
The thousands of Ruoye navy soldiers in the moat were almost wiped out. No matter how brave the Ruoye navy soldiers were, they were powerless in the face of the dark knights who outnumbered them by hundreds of times. After Canglan bravely blocked the Kongming army for nearly half a day, he was shot several times and died a heroic death. When he died, he was still tightly twisting the neck of a dark cavalryman. In the end, the two of them died almost at the same time, and their blood dyed the moat red. Outside the east gate of Yonghui City, death was everywhere, and blood soaked every inch of land and every square meter of river water...
This is a tragic and brutal war!
The twins that the Cang family was proud of were suddenly left with only Cang Yun, who had transformed into a blue dragon on the city wall and was still locked in a bitter fight with the half-human, half-bats of the Kongming clan. At this time, the blue dragon transformed by Cang Yun let out mournful dragon roars, but vowed to never surrender!
This is a brave man of the Ruoye tribe. Even if he fights until only one person is left and only his last drop of blood is left, he will never take a step back!
And Long Yu was personally commanding the defense of the East Gate at this time. This was the last line of defense of Yonghui City and must not be lost!
At this point in the battle, Long Yu and Yan Zhu were already aware of each other's strength. It would be meaningless for the two commanders to fight for another ten days and ten nights. It would be just a war of attrition between two evenly matched opponents. Since this was the case, it would be better to save some energy to think of other ways.
Yan Zhu's plan was to borrow the dark power of the demon clan, but Long Yu was waiting for his other trump card to appear.
Long Yu stood on the east gate, calmly commanding the crossbows and dragon wing troops on the city wall to make the final defense, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings. Those who sacrificed their lives were all the good men of his Ruoye tribe, young and fresh lives! Five hundred years ago, when he brought them from the South Sea Imperial City to the Xuming Continent, they were all full of vigor and vitality. They had imagined with him that this Xuming Continent would become the vast territory of the Ruoye tribe, and they had also thought about returning home in triumph one day...
But now they died in such a tragic way, including General Nangong who died with his eyes wide open, and Canglan who was glaring in anger in the moat. How could he not feel heartbroken that these fresh lives were taken away by the cruel war! Moreover, what made him feel most heartbroken was that these sons of the Ruoye tribe might just be the collateral sacrifices set by his father. How could he feel?
Although he had already guessed his father's intention to set him up, he could not agree with it in his heart. His father taught him that to achieve great things, one must be ruthless, cruel, and ruthless. As long as one can achieve his goal, he can do it at any cost! However, to this day, he still can't do it. Maybe he is unwilling to do it from the bottom of his heart. He doesn't want to be the lone man who dominates the world. However, everything his father is doing now is forcing him to go down that road of no return.
At that moment, Long Yu was a little confused about what to do next.
Moreover, what made him feel even more uneasy was that the development of the situation had far exceeded his previous expectations. He always felt that there was more than one behind-the-scenes plotter in this immortal game. Such a big game involved so many races. It was difficult for his father, who had never stepped out of the South China Sea, to do it alone. Even if his father deliberately released the demons to let them secretly help the Kongming tribe, the demons were not stupid. How could they jump into the trap so easily? There must be something in Yonghui City that aroused their interest. And the secret treasure in Yonghui City that Qingluan mentioned before that could open the gate to the three realms, could it be that the demons had already known about it?
Or, could it be that someone deliberately released this news to lure the demons here?
Moreover, the demons have not even shown up till now, they have only released some dark power. What is their purpose?
There was also the Sha Mo people. Long Yu had not had time to think about it before, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did the Sha Mo people come at such a coincidence? Why did they come today?
It was as if they had anticipated the Kongming Clan's attack today. To call it a coincidence was a bit too much, wasn't it? Furthermore, to say they came specifically to welcome Ying Lili was a bit over the top. The tens of thousands of Shamo Clan wizards Wu Su had brought with him were all top-tier, so I'm afraid their intentions weren't innocent either.
The biggest doubt still lies with Ying Lili. Just now when Mo Yi pulled Ying Lili out of the ten thousand year old black crystal, Long Yu clearly felt that there was an extremely powerful spiritual power on Ying Lili's body. That was not Lili's own spiritual power, but it was not lower than anyone present, and even exceeded his own!
Thinking of this, Long Yu's face became more solemn. He knew that Ying Lili had the soul of Kamai, the God of Moment, in her body. Ying Lili had told him everything before, but it was because he knew that he felt it was strange. Why did Kamai's soul, which had been quiet for so long, suddenly awaken at this moment? Although Long Yu had never doubted that Ying Lili would plot against him, if the Kamai in her body had never thought of staying out of it from the beginning, then things would become more complicated.
At this time, Long Yu already began to doubt the role played by Jianyi in this magical game, or in other words, the real purpose of the Shamo people appearing here.
And then there was Mo Yi. How could Mo Yi, who had disappeared from the Void Realm for a full five hundred years, appear in Yonghui City today by such coincidence? What was his purpose? All of this seemed to indicate that, invisibly, several hands were simultaneously pushing this situation forward.
Maybe my father was the one who set up the plan in the first place, but the way things have developed to this point has probably far exceeded my father's expectations.
Who is the final winner, who is the real oriole? Things seem to be becoming more and more confusing. What secrets are hidden by the father, the sickle town, the demon clan, and the people behind Mo Yi?
However, the Kongming Clan did not give Long Yu much room for thinking. At this moment, the dark knights of the Kongming Clan had already crossed the moat by stepping on the roots of the giant trees left by the clan leader Yan Zhu, and were rushing towards the city wall like a rushing flood. The horses they were riding were not ordinary war horses, but the ancient exotic beasts, the Deer Shu. As soon as those Deer Shu arrived at the foot of the city wall, they suddenly jumped up, and like civet cats, they cunningly climbed up along the city wall!
At this time, above the east gate of Yonghui City, it seemed as if there was a violent rain of crossbow arrows. The densely packed crossbow arrows almost made the sun lose its brightness.
"You bastard! Go to hell!"
"Go to hell!"
"Get lost, you black-hearted bastard!"
Angry shouts and curses erupted from the mouths of the Dragon Wing Army soldiers! The few Dark Knights who managed to scale the East Gate wall were killed as soon as they emerged from the walls. The tridents in the hands of the Dragon Wing Army soldiers defending the city were wielding them one by one.
On the city wall, the brave men of the Ruoye tribe were already extremely angry!
Seeing that the Ruoye navy was almost wiped out under the city wall, the Dragon Wing Army on the city wall were all united in their hatred of the enemy, and they wished they could kill the damn Kongming dark cavalry until a river of blood flowed!
At the foot of the city wall, the bodies of the dark knights of the Kongming tribe kept rolling down, and there were bloodstains everywhere. Screams, roars, the sound of war drums, the strange cries of deer slugs, the sound of tridents piercing flesh, the sound of crossbows passing through the air, the sound of catapults being fired...
All these sounds intertwined together to create a picture of hell on earth.
However, this still did not stop the dark cavalry of the Kongming tribe, because in terms of numbers, they really had absolute advantage. At this time, all the defenders in the east gate of Yonghui City added up to no more than 30,000 people. Minus those who died in the previous battles, there were probably less than 20,000 left. And the Kongming tribe army in front of them, not to mention the Kongming tribe wizards in the sky, the dark knights alone were probably no less than 300,000!
Therefore, Yan Zhu didn't care at all at this time. He had an absolute advantage in numbers, so why bother to calculate so much? He just rushed in and attacked! He didn't believe that the isolated army in Yonghui City could hold on for long!
What kind of dilemma is this for the Dragon Wing Army? No matter how brave the Dragon Wing Army is, facing an enemy that is ten times their size, it is a miracle that they can hold on until now without retreating or surrendering!
Long Yu stood on the main gate of the city wall like a god, and the blood-condensed sword in his hand roared out!
Chi chi chi!
One could only hear the sound of swords piercing flesh and blood splattering everywhere. One after another, the dark cavalrymen who had time or not to climb up the city wall were killed by the sword that seemed to come from the sky and fell under the city wall. In just a blink of an eye, when Long Yu was standing under the city gate, the corpses of the dark cavalrymen had piled up as high as a hill!
Just as the East Gate was in a tough fight, suddenly, a voice like a bell was heard behind him: "Uncle, I'm here to help you!"
Long Yu was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Wei Xingying rushing towards the city!
In a short while, Wei Xingying had jumped onto the city wall, and there were two people beside him.
"Why are you here?" Long Yu also saw Ze Ze and Qing Luan beside Wei Xingying. He asked Wei Xingying calmly with his mind.
Wei Xingying did not answer his question directly. His silver needles flew out of the city wall like a heavy rain. Wherever the silver needles went, blood splattered again.
After a long while, he suddenly replied with his mind: "Your Majesty will not live long." This was one of the most shocking pieces of information he had obtained from General Chiguo's mind.
In fact, Ying Lili did not kill General Chiguo before, but just staged a deceiving play with Ze Ze and others. When she used the pure white mysterious light to wrap General Chiguo like a cicada pupa, Ze Ze took Wei Xingying and Qingluan to attack from underground using the earth escape technique. After Wei Xingying subdued General Chiguo with a silver needle, he quickly threw it to Ze Ze, and Qingluan took the opportunity to throw out a corpse that had been prepared long ago, and Ying Lili tacitly turned the corpse into a ball of blood mist. Everything was tightly blocked by the pure white mysterious light like a cicada pupa, and the whole process was coordinated seamlessly, which deceived everyone.
It has been said before that Ying Lili is not an obedient person. All of this was an idea she came up with on a whim, and Wei Xingying and others coordinated the entire process seamlessly.
The real General Chiguo had actually been replaced by Wei Xingying's prisoner. After capturing General Chiguo alive, Wei Xingying and others did not dare to stay for a moment. They used the earth escape technique to bring General Chiguo to a secluded place in Yonghui City and read his memory with a silver needle. This reading surprised Wei Xingying. Before, it was just because of Gong Lili that the imperial physician's plan of killing with a borrowed knife must be hiding some unknown secret, but he did not expect that General Chiguo knew so many secrets, and each one was shocking!
Not to mention the ignominious role played by General Chiguo in the South China Sea Rebellion that year, Wei Xingying had also vaguely heard about this matter.
However, what really made General Zhiguo determined to rebel was another matter. General Zhiguo learned from some secret channel that the health of the Emperor of Nanhai Imperial City was worrying and he might not live long. Once the old emperor passed away, Longyu, as the crown prince, would have to inherit the throne. General Zhiguo, who had secretly supported the crown prince at that time during the Nanhai Rebellion and planned to get rid of the young prince Longyu, felt guilty. He knew that if the new emperor ascended the throne, his deeds would be exposed. According to Longyu's temper, he would not let him go easily. Instead of waiting to die, it would be better to rebel during the chaos. Maybe he could still have a chance of survival.
Because this secret was too shocking, it should not be made public. After thinking for a long time, Wei Xingying decided to hide it from Gong Lili and rush to tell Long Yu first.
Long Yu's eyelids twitched heavily, and he lowered his eyelids, allowing the Blood Condensation Sword in his hand to swing wildly, continuously reaping the figures that kept pouring up from under the city wall.
Father is going to die soon? This news exploded in Long Yu's heart like thunder. In his heart, his father has always been a towering figure. Maybe it was because his father was too majestic, or maybe it was because their personalities were completely different. Although the Emperor of the Ruoye tribe liked this youngest son very much, he always thought that he was too kind and not ruthless enough. Long Yu also disapproved of his father's cold-blooded personality, so the relationship between father and son was not very deep.
But, blood is thicker than water after all. Long Yu has the blood of the Emperor of the Ruoye clan in his body. Now that he has heard that his father will soon pass away, as a son, he naturally feels sad.
It finally dawned on him now. Everything his father had done made sense if he could justify it with this excuse. He finally understood why his father had taken such a risk in the first place, setting up this trap. Was this to clear the way for him before his death?!
Eliminate worries within and eliminate troubles outside!
Involve all the people, both inside and outside, who are against you. If this game of the gods goes according to the arrangement of his father, all the obstacles before Long Yu, all the obstacles that prevent him from inheriting the throne of the Ruoye tribe and even unifying the Xu Mingjie continent, will be removed in one battle!
That would be an unprecedented glorious era for the Ruoye tribe, in which he would rule with ease!
Of course, this was just his father's wishful thinking. Perhaps his father himself did not expect that there would be other driving forces behind his elimination, causing the situation to deviate from his original expectations.
However, no one could have imagined that the original intention of this so-called magical game was actually a father's last-ditch gamble for his most proud and beloved youngest son before his death!
