Chapter 6: Human hearts and benevolence

The first battle of the demons attacking Jixia City ended in failure. To be fair, the attacks launched by the demons are indeed not weak, especially when everyone was seriously injured when they saw that Reince's main combat power was seriously injured, this attack was really a hit. The reason why it failed in the end was because Jixia City's defense was better, and the two sides fought head-on, and the defeated side was wiped out.

Although Jixia City was beautifully victorious, it was not without casualties. The first wave of attacks from the poisonous dragon group that came to Jixia City affected ordinary civilians, causing the houses to be burned, and many citizens also died in poisonous smoke and flames. Even after the war, a large number of people still died in the ward.

At night, a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire Jixia City. The faint sound of crying sounded from place to place in the city, and even the ivory white tower was clearly heard.

I feel sad for them, but even so, I still want to say that this is the best result now.

After reading the injury report just sorted out, Xiaocao, who is the ex-Queen Reince, said.

It is of course good to be able to repel the enemy, but the reason why Xiaocao nodded and agreed to the right is the current casualties and losses.

The Battle of Jiuzhou has been two thousand years ago. For most people, the demon race is just a term with no substantive significance. Especially after the martial arts and magic in the human world have leaps and turns, if the demon race defeated the first battle of Jixia and was in a miserable and desolate manner, and there were almost no casualties on human side, then... the deaths and injuries that should have occurred will inevitably appear in the next battle in multiple growth.

No matter what era it is, there is always no shortage of people who think too high and carelessly underestimate the enemy.

Faced with the powerful strength of the demons, humans have no capital to underestimate the enemy, so this time, after paying a considerable price, the citizens were also wary and afraid of victory. This feeling was more transmitted through the screen and dispersed across Reines afterwards, which impressed everyone. This was really the ideal state for Xiaocao.

Xiaocao, these people should be your people, but... Quan Ying sighed lightly: Why do I always feel that you keep smiling on your face when you say these words?

Ah!Yeah?

Unable to see the expression on his face, Xiaocao touched his face unconsciously and then said softly: Then I should be proud, because... this is the proof of my being the Bai family.

Quan Ying could only be silent about these words. When will the Bai family, who have always been regarded as a madman and a genius, take human life seriously?

If they were only cold-blooded and ruthless to others, they could even scold them for being cruel, but the cold-blooded Bai family even sacrificed themselves, which made people unable to say anything extra except sighing.

However, such personality traits are sometimes very suitable for becoming leaders. For example, the Bai Junhuang, Bai Qi, and Bai Wuji, in the eyes of their subordinates, they are all excellent lords who are willing to let others die and die.

Sacrifice and use human life as bargaining chips is something that Lancelot cannot accept and cannot learn, but in the eyes of many people, this is the time when leaders show their decisive abilities and wisdom.

It is impossible for war to die, and in the end, people also have this awareness.

Compared to the huge risks caused by forcing and not sacrificing, they actually only want to die as much as they want, and not to die as meaningless; many times, deaths and injuries are not unacceptable, as long as those deaths and injuries are fair and sacrifices, and this is exactly what a leader should do: sacrifice his people fairly and effectively.

From this point of view, what Gongjin did on the same day that day was not necessarily wrong. If he had been in a different place, I would probably... I would have dared to think that way. If there was such a determination and courage to execute, Quan Ying really couldn't answer it.

In any case, if you simply judge the hero by success or failure, this is too unfair to Senior Brother Gongjin.

Looking back on my life, my relationship with Senior Brother Gongjin was extremely bad, and I never got along well with me, and I had a lot of doubts about his character. However, after the Zhongdu War ended, when I learned from my husband about his intentions and actions, I really thought he was... great, because he was really considering Eltino and the Wind Continent, not selfish; compared to many people in the Bailu Cave, he used thunderbolt means to act kindly.

(Don’t know what’s going on in Zhongdu City now?)

Quan Ying thought about this problem more than once. After reaching a reconciliation with Senior Brother Gongjin, both sides could work together to try to solve these problems, but with the defeat of our side, this effort naturally became a silence. Now millions of citizens who have changed have fallen into the hands of the demons, which will become a major harm to the human world. Senior Brother Gongjin will definitely feel heartbroken if he knows it.

However, compared to those problems, Quan Ying is actually more worried about another group of people, that is, her compatriots on Shenglong Mountain. This group of poisonous dragons was obviously transformed by the golden dragon. The clan members with the pride of the Dragon God would actually let Shi Chong do such an evil transformation. Then the smoky and chaotic atmosphere on Shenglong Mountain can be imagined; if this continues, it will only gradually lead the dragon clan to the path of destruction, and I am really worried.

Sister Quanying seemed to be very worried, but it was useless to just think about it. Let’s actually ask.

Seeing through Quan Ying's thoughts, Xiaocao began to deal with the prisoners.

The group of poisonous dragons trapped underground, with at least twenty heads, trapped by gravity and soil hardening. Now they need to be pulled out, which will only increase unnecessary danger. It is best to lock them underground for a few more months to let hunger eliminate their physical strength. When digging them out, it will be much safer. But that being said, if you only dig one head out, it will not have much impact.

A poisonous dragon was dug out and moved into the underground palace of the ivory white tower. As soon as it broke free from its restraint, it roared loudly in front of everyone's eyes, angrily trying to open its mouth and spit out flames. Everyone present, whether it was Lancelo, Gengoro, Nier, or Ailing and Hua Bianque, who had a lower level of strength, had the ability to kill the poisonous dragon in one fell swoop, but in the end they stood up to face it was a grass dressed in a neat manner by the secretary.

Roar ~~

The poisonous dragon roared angrily, not taking this woman with only one-tenth of its body proportions at all. It spewed out a blazing and violent poisonous fire, sweeping across the audience in an instant. When the fire burned in front of a group of warriors of heaven, it was blocked by their respective protective air shields, but it penetrated through the grass's body, as if passing through a layer of air phantom that did not exist at all.

This strange phenomenon caused the poisonous dragon to erupt again, but although the flame completely swallowed the grass, she seemed to be unable to feel the heat and impact at all, and slowly approached the poisonous dragon. Only then did everyone fully understand that the grass, which had long become a dead body, not only could the whole body be transformed into nothingness, but the clothes on her body were not physical, but were condensed by magic power, and physical attacks were meaningless to her at all.

Sorry, I don't know if this will hurt a little.

The grass slowly walked to the poisonous dragon, put his hand on the dark scales of the poisonous dragon, and a special magic power was transmitted over. Everyone heard the poisonous dragon making an extremely desolate howl, as if thousands of sharp blades were scraping the bones in Lingchi, howling in pain.

Then, the poisonous dragon disintegrated, and its huge body shrank instantly, but rather than shrinking, the more practical situation is the separation of bones and flesh. The thick scales and armor that can withstand heavy blows and high temperatures and extremely frozen are like cutting a unparalleled sharp blade quickly and accurately, instantly decomposing into countless pieces of flesh and blood, silently disintegrating and peeling off.

Among the many bloody fragments, a huge dragon body skeleton was preserved intact, but the bones were not the common white, but the evil color as black as ink. The internal organs that were invisible had long become one of the many fragments that disintegrated around them; and when everyone looked at them with faint moans, they saw a blood man lying in the corner, wailing sadly.

Just like a pile of incomplete things around him, this person lost his lower body, but he seemed to have retained a clear mind. When everyone's eyes were focused on him, he knew that he would be tortured, shouted that I would never betray Lord Shi Chong and would commit suicide.

The subordinates transformed by Shi Chong are so loyal that they are amazing, but everyone present is prepared. If he dies so easily, it doesn't matter to others. At most, he will catch a poisonous dragon to test it, but Dean Hua from the Dark Magic Research Institute has no face.

Xiū!

Seven dark blue needles broke through the wind and flew, and the position was very accurate, penetrated the flesh and bones, sealed several large acupoints, allowing the howl to cut off halfway, becoming silent silence. When the pity-worthy prisoner wondered how he could not speak and pronounce, how the other party should ask, the black-robed figure came to him.

Don't make a mistake. No one wants you to speak and help you seal the acupoints with silver needles. It just uses the medicine on the top to prolong your life, and also makes you not too noisy when you wait. As for the information we need, I will ask your brain directly afterwards.

While speaking, Hua Bianque had already taken action and put his palm on the prisoner's forehead. If the feeling of the forced disintegration was Qiandao Lingchi, then the pain now is ten thousand needles piercing the brain, but this time the part of the voice was blocked, and no matter how painful it was, it would not be able to shout out.

Ordinary torture often encounters two problems. The first is that the prisoners are not honest, and the second is that the prisoners themselves cannot figure out what important information is, and they waste each other's time.

When Hua Bianque was practicing art in the Great Snow Mountain, he had researched and developed these two issues and gained great success. When she took charge of the Dark Magic Research Institute, a large number of victims suffered, including the one who is now under her control.

When Hua Bianque was operating, Xiaocao also explained to everyone that the information in Zhongdu was completely cut off. Even the brothel alliance could only rely on spies to observe outside the city and could not penetrate it. Its side knew nothing about the next move of the demon clan. In this case, this group of poisonous dragon knights might be able to provide valuable information.

The enemy should be very confident, because when the dragon knight and the dragon are completely integrated into a giant poisonous dragon, they cannot forcefully divide them with magic, nor can they read their thoughts, and can't question anything, but...

On Reins Thiren, there is an error that the demons cannot calculate, that is, the existence of the grass.

If the demons have always hidden Yinzhen's identity as the highest secret, then Xiaocao is also a secret game, especially her talented ability to destroy all magic effects.

The original ideal state should be that Xiaocao used her superpowers to eliminate the magic that was operated by the poisonous dragon, decomposed into the golden dragon and the dragon knight, and then questioned the dragon knight. However, the depth of this combination of magic is also beyond Xiaocao's estimate. As a result, although she eliminated the magic operation, forcibly dismantling it caused incomplete damage, and she could only obtain the skeleton, flesh and blood of the golden dragon, and half a dragon knight not far from death.

Seeing Xiaocao's expression of annoyance, Gengoro comforted: It's better to save some energy, and there are still people waiting for your treatment.

In addition to eliminating all magic powers, Xiaocao's talented power also has a talented power belonging to Queen Reins, which is the healing power that transcends everything.

In the past era, this holy power was the light of miracle that human warriors rely on countless lives to save their lives.

In the battle of Zhongdu City, Lancelo and Gengoro both broke through the strong heavenly position and entered the powerful realm of the Zhai Tiantai. The body itself has the ability to heal itself. As long as it drives out the extraordinary strength of the body, it can repair the damaged body in the blink of an eye, but there are still other injured people in the strong heavenly position and need the rescue of Xiaocao.

Because of the long-term evacuation of the world's vitality in Free City, Xiaocao failed to balance the energy in his body for a while, and the holy power was disturbed, so he had not been treated for Quan Ying and Ni'er. The reason why Gengoro started the defense system this time was mainly because he had to retain the energy and wait for a few more days to start treating everyone's injuries.

Everyone should protect Her Majesty the Queen Ah. You are the highest secret on our side. In the future, you may rely on this to fight against the demons. Your superpowers may become our surprise soldiers at any time and scare the enemy in battle.

Gengoro's intentions are somewhat convincing, because during the Kyushu War, human warriors were undoubtedly at a disadvantage in enduring and healing injuries compared to the superior physique of demon warriors.

Two warriors with similar cultivation levels are one of human beings and the other of demons. They fight each other, and the demons will definitely gain the upper hand in the future. Human warriors often suffer from the accumulated minor injuries and are exhausted to death.

But there are occasional exceptions in this situation, that is, Queen Reince is backed by her backing, and she will be quickly cured after she goes out to fight again. Instead, she will exhaust the demon warriors who have always been known for their strong recovery.

That battle was famous between humans and demons, and also made the demons notice the special existence of Queen Reins.

Xiaocao shook his head and said with a smile: Don’t care about me, I am a ghost, no matter how powerful the devil is, I can’t kill me for the second time.The one who truly deserves everyone's concern and protection is Sister Quan Ying, who is the most important person at present.

These words directed everyone's eyes toward Hikari, and the person involved showed a look of at a loss again.

Before the battle to Zhongdu, Quan Ying vaguely felt that her physical condition was different, and her chest was frustrated and vomited from time to time. However, the soldiers were in danger at that time, and everyone was focused on the situation in front of her. In order to avoid disturbing Lancelo's mood, Quan Ying pressed the matter and refused to mention it. She was preparing to wait until the matter came to an end and then checked Hua Bianque or Fenghua for physical examination. Unexpectedly, she was on the battlefield and was first noticed by the enemy's great demon king, and then exposed the matter by Xulagu. At this time, she saw everyone's eyes looking at her. She was usually bright and generous, and her face was flushed and silent.

Sister Quanying, don’t be embarrassed, Ah, you have a child, this is a good thing.Xiaocao held Quan Ying's hand and said seriously: Sister Fenghua and Sister Feng'er will bless you and your child. I hope that when this child was born... the world is no longer threatened by darkness.

It is hard to imagine that being blessed by Xiaocao like this is something that Quan Ying is hard to imagine. At least in the past, she was arrogant with her heart, not to mention having a man with other women, even the fact that she would become a concubine of a certain man was incredible.

But now, as a concubine, I accept the blessings of my wife and other concubines, and I have no disgust in my heart. This... can only be said that fate is impermanent, which is sad.

However, Gengoro's sighs and blessings were made by Hizuki, who wanted to express gratitude and respond seriously.

There are old lives passing away and new lives coming. This is the replacement and impermanence of the world.Li Yu and Bai Qi will definitely feel relieved to be able to sacrifice for the right to survive, so we should work hard to protect the world in which this child lives.

Li Yu and Gengoro are sworn brothers. Although they haven't been together for a long time and rarely talk about each other, this still does not hinder their friendship.

Li Yu's death was also a blow to Gengoro. Although he did not show any color for this, he secretly promised in his heart to seek justice for Li Yu.

I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but if you finish the double act, then I'll report the torture results here.

Following the cold voice, Hua Bianque was wiping his palms with a black gauze scarf, wiping away the blood in his palms. The unfortunate prisoner had already fainted. It seemed that not only did he know the human affairs, but he was also not far from death.

He was quite tough. After a while, he had only two messages in his mind that were more important.Originally, they were going to be sent to Japan, but because of temporary dispatch, they came to Jixia to attack, and another group of poisonous dragons sent to Japan.

Japan?What did Shi Chong send the dragon clan to Japan?

Gengoro's puzzled question also made everyone stunned.

After the Japanese Strategic Battle, the Japanese archipelago had already sunk. After Bai Qi sacrificed a million demon army, his life energy was still scattered in the Wind Continent, and the out-of-control energy flow was directed backwards, which allowed the Japanese archipelago to rise from the bottom of the sea and reappeared at its original position with a wave breaking the waves.

Logically speaking, a piece of land that had just floated up from the seabed had no animals and plants and no resources on it. Shi Chong was in a hurry to send the dragon clan to Japan. What was that for?

The minion would not know about this kind of problem, but there is a noun in his mind that is very interesting.

Hua Bianque said: Does anyone know what the immortal tree is?

When Reins' camp began to sort out the new information obtained, the results of the poisonous dragon group's annihilation of the entire army in Jixia have also been passed back to Zhongdu.

Have you succeeded?Well, did you fail again?It doesn’t matter, it’s not your fault. With your ability, it’s a very strange thing to succeed.

Rather than consolation, it is actually more like a sarcastic remark. The person who said these words was not Shi Chong who led the action, but Xu Lagu who recently fell in love with mocking habits.

Failure and success depends on which angle to look at.The number of poisonous dragon groups sent out was not large. Sacrifice to obtain Jixia's defensive information would be of great benefit to our future attack on Jixia. His Highness the Prince said this was a failure and would be harsh on them.

Yeah?As expected, he is indeed a professional talent, and there is a mystery in every move.Then I hope that Elder Shi’s painstaking efforts to spy on intelligence will not become foolish behavior of deliberately sending intelligence to people. There is a magic kingdom that falls into the hands of others and can withstand physical torture, but can he withstand magical mind reading?

Hulagu had heard his father mention that about a thousand years ago, three managers of the Qianye family stationed in Fengzhi Continent were scrambling, one of which disappeared and went to the Demon Realm to choose a successor, hoping to establish a power in the Demon Realm as the next capital to seize the throne. At that time, Shi Chong was selected. He was also an important official in front of the Great Demon God King, and his talents were outstanding. The two sides hit it off and Shi Chong inherited his position.

But Shi Chong was loyal to the Great Demon King and the Demon Clan, and instead infiltrated the forces in the human world, using the resources of the Qianye family to assist the Demon Clan's great cause.

Such loyalty was a rare important minister in Yinzhen's eyes, but it had nothing to do with Xulagu, and he would not have any good feelings for Shi Chong because of this.

The mutant poison dragon, which evolved from the golden dragon, is a work I carefully produced. No matter how smart the magic is, it is impossible to read the message from their brains.

Shi Chong was very confident in this regard. After all, he had fought with Reince for many years in the past and had a general understanding of Reince's magic level. He knew that with Reince's magical skills alone, he could only kill the poisonous dragon at most, but he didn't have to worry about leaking any information.

In fact, Shi Chong's confidence was not wrong, but he didn't expect that there was a ghost that should not exist, and incredibly destroyed his masterpiece.

Hulagu didn't say much, but he always had a strange premonition in his heart, but he didn't care very much, because those poisonous dragon groups were not his subordinates and were not under his jurisdiction. Just as he wanted to shruggle and leave, His Majesty the Great Demon King, who had been in seclusion for many days, issued an order to summon the prince.
