The two left the Cao family's mansion and walked for a long time. The sky in Donglai City gradually dimmed.
The atmosphere on the streets became even more tense, with many soldiers rushing towards the city in groups.
Gu Xinyue's beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water revealed a hint of curiosity, and asked: "Ye Fan, why didn't you just ask Dean Cao where Mu Bing, Qin Yu'er and Cao Youwen went? Maybe? They are still in Donglai County... or they may have gone to Zhongzhou. If they are in Zhongzhou now, ask where they are, and we may be able to go to Zhongzhou to find them!"
"Are you curious about their whereabouts?"
Ye Fan was surprised and replied with a smile.
Gu Xinyue's beautiful face opened up her red lips and smiled sweetly, "They can also be regarded as your confidante. It is impossible not to have any feelings after practicing together all those years. I am not a jealous woman, it would be nice to have a few more sisters. ah!"
"Some things cannot be reversed by human power! Wuhou's lifespan is three hundred years old, Wuwang's lifespan is five hundred, and Wuhuang's lifespan is one thousand years! To break through Wuhou, Wuhou's Awakening Pill can help, and I can help them. But Wuwang, There is no way but to awaken on my own. There is nothing I can do!"
Ye Fan shook his head slightly and sighed.
Even for him, with "Shang", it would be very difficult to break through King Wu.
He can absorb the Yin Emperor's blood beads because he has empty blood in his body that can be replaced. By changing his own blood, he can overcome the King of Martial's bottleneck.
But none of them have the bloodline of the air system, so the Martial King realm will be an extremely difficult obstacle to overcome.
Gu Xinyue pursed her red lips and fell into silence.
In terms of cultivation level, this is a huge gap. If you are unable to cross this gap, you will have to face a huge tragedy, which is that while you are still in your prime, she has passed away.
She suddenly understood why Ye Fan chose to leave Canglan Country alone without their company.
Ye Fan has now cultivated to become a Martial King, and will cultivate and be promoted to become a Martial King in the future. His life will be as long as thousands of years, and he will always maintain his current appearance.
Watching them grow old day by day in my arms, but I can't do anything about it, the torture will be excruciating.
Because of this, Ye Fan did not ask Cao Hao where they were going. If the ending is destined to be sad, it is better not to have a beginning.
"Here in Donglai City, what should we do next?"
"Listening to the noise outside the city, it seems that a wave of beasts is coming. Let's check the situation first and then talk!"
…
at dusk.
The tall and majestic East Gate of Donglai County faces the endless East China Sea and is the most important gate to guard Donglai County.
On the city wall dozens of feet high, there are rows of warriors and ordinary warriors wearing heavy armor and carrying sharp swords. Tens of thousands of troops are waiting to prevent a wave of sea beasts from attacking the city.
King Ling Feizhuo, Prime Minister Yan Zhengxiu, King Wu Lu Dahang, and hundreds of civil and military ministers from the Marquis Wu period stood on the east city gate tower with an excellent view, watching the situation of sea beasts outside the city.
On the long coastline outside the city, as the tide rises, groups of sea beasts have gradually begun to appear on the beach, including many ferocious sea beasts in the beast lord realm. As for the deep sea further away, no one knows how many powerful sea beast lords or even sea beast kings lurk in the sea.
A minister sighed: "In the past, in Donglai County, large-scale sea beasts would only appear on full moon nights. But now, even on ordinary moonlight nights, large numbers of sea beasts will appear. I don't know why?"
No one answered, and no one knew why.
In Donglai City, no one dares to rush out of the city to hunt those powerful sea beasts.
There is an extremely lack of martial arts cultivators above the level of Marquis Wu in the city, and their high-level combat capabilities are weak. If one person dies, one person will be missing. No one dares to take risks easily.
Canglan's army could only guard the city wall tightly.
Donglai City has been fortified for thousands of years. There are a large number of heavy-duty city-defending machine guns at the top of the city. They can fire heavy crossbow arrows weighing thousands of kilograms. They have a long range and are very powerful. They can easily threaten the Sea Beast Master and can even fire volleys. Deal with some weaker sea monsters.
These heavy machine ballistas on top of Donglai City somewhat make up for the lack of some high-end combat capabilities.
Even ordinary soldiers in the later stages of warriors can rely on the power of these solid city defense equipment to kill the Sea Beast Lord from a long distance within a range of several thousand feet.
However, the endless tide of dense sea beasts on the sea made the ministers and soldiers on the city head feel numb.
Ling Feizhuo obviously didn't take the tide of sea beasts under the city seriously, and instead looked complacent.
After all these years of taking the throne, I have never been as comfortable and happy as I am now. No minister in the court dared not look at his face. He had Canglan's millions of troops under his control. This feeling was extremely refreshing.
He gets whatever he wants and does whatever he wants, and no one dares to disobey his orders.
"Yan Aiqing, how do you think my imperial commander's personal expedition to Donglai is compared to the former commander-in-chief Ye Shuai's expedition to the west of the Qinglang tribe? The millions of troops under my command are no less majestic than his!"
He was quite elated.
The battle in the East China Sea was won. He, Ling Feizhuo, was the eternal wise king of Canglan Kingdom. He restored the monarchy with courage and strategy, and turned the tide in times of crisis. No matter how powerful Ye Fan is, he is just a famous minister who wiped out the Qinglang tribe, and he is still slightly inferior to the wise king like him.
"Your Majesty...the sage is naturally beyond the comparison of your Majesty!"
Yan Xiuzheng said respectfully, smiling bitterly in his heart, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He has ambitions and wants to become a famous minister of the Canglan Kingdom, so he actively advises the king.
When Ye Shuai left, the Canglan Kingdom had no serious external troubles after destroying the Qinglang tribe, and the internal situation was smooth and the country was peaceful and peaceful.
He is confident that as long as he has his assistance, even if the king is incompetent, he can still make the Canglan Kingdom prosperous.
This unprecedented prosperous age will be born in the hands of his Prime Minister Yan Xiuzheng, why should he give this credit to the Regent in vain? !
Therefore, he saw the right moment and took action decisively, and came up with a strange plan for the monarch. With the power of the Zixuan Dynasty, he recruited the regent and his troops and drove them to Zhongzhou. The king was overjoyed and promoted him to prime minister.
Originally, everything was fine.
But he never expected that drastic changes would occur in Donglai County immediately afterwards.
The waves of sea beasts are becoming more and more ferocious, and the threat to Canglan Kingdom has exceeded that of the Green Wolf Tribe. But today's Canglan Kingdom's combat effectiveness is less than half of what it was before.
He now has some regrets for having made plans to help the monarch regain his power and sent all the regents to Zhongzhou.
Canglan's army is now known as one million, and most of them are low-level warriors recruited for military service, with almost no combat effectiveness at all. There are also very few high-level martial arts cultivators, far inferior to the 300,000 elite soldiers commanded by Marshal Ye back then.
In order to maintain this million-strong army, millions of laborers were recruited from various counties in Canglan Kingdom to supply military food, military equipment, and strengthen the city.
The national power of Canglan Kingdom suddenly fell to the bottom, and it was miserable.
Now that the Canglan Kingdom is in a critical situation, how can he still think about complimenting the king? He is full of bitterness.
"Ho~~!"
More than ten miles away from the east city gate, a roar from the Sea Beast King suddenly sounded on the sea.
The waves rolled up hundreds of feet high, and a sea crocodile beast that was more than ten feet long and covered with black scales appeared on the top of the waves. There was terrifying power under the huge beast body, and it looked at the distant Donglai with dead and cold eyes. The east gate of the city.
Suddenly, with this wave as the center, the sea surface within a hundred miles radius began to boil.
Hundreds of huge sea beasts, as well as countless sea beasts and sea beasts scrambled to be the first and rushed toward Donglai City crazily.
"The Sea Beast King appears!"
"The tide of big beasts is coming!"
"Quick, get ready to defend the city with all your strength!"
Donglai City was shaken.
The Wuhou and Wuzun on the top of the city showed fear, and prepared their black soldiers in full formation, while the warrior soldiers wildly shook their heavy crossbows, aiming at the group of sea beasts in the distance. Once they approach the two thousand feet range of Donglai City, they will be greeted by a large rainstorm of heavy arrows.
"Sea Crocodile Beast King!"
Lu Dahang took a breath of air and his expression changed in shock.
Such a sea crocodile beast king has an extremely huge body of ten feet, and its natural strength is more than five times stronger than that of the Martial King. The black scale armor has extremely high defensive power, and even the fourth-level Martial King Xuanbing can hardly damage it. There are many types of sea beasts, and sea crocodiles are undoubtedly one of the most terrifying ones in terms of defense and strength.
It is extremely difficult to hurt it.
It is even more impossible to kill it.
There was nothing he could do. In terms of combat effectiveness, he was not as good as this sea crocodile beast king.
Don't say he can't win, even if he can win, there is a vast sea five miles outside the city. As long as the Sea Beast King is injured, he can easily escape into the sea and disappear.
The only way is to defend the city and wait for it to retreat on its own.
The Sea Crocodile Beast King did not approach Donglai City, but only set off huge waves of a hundred feet high. The huge waves carried many Sea Beast Lords, Sea Beast Lords and ferocious beasts, and accelerated towards Donglai City.
blow!
blow!
A heavy rain of heavy arrows shot down, killing a large number of sea beasts and sea beast masters.
However, dozens of ferocious Sea Beast Lords had already rushed to the foot of Donglai City, flew up to the top of the city to attack the city, and fought with the Wuhou and Wuzuns who were waiting at the top of the city.
"Brother Lu! Quickly kill that sea beast king!"
At the east city gate, King Ling Feizhuo showed a look of horror on his face and hurriedly begged Lu Dahang.
In the vassal states, King Wu had a very high status and could be equal to the king of the country.
Although he was dull, Ling Feizhuo could also see that the sea crocodile beast king was the key to tonight's battle. Only by killing it can we defend Donglai City. The other sea beasts are just minions and insignificant.
"It can't do it, it can only defend!... It doesn't dare to attack the city because it's afraid that there are many King Wu ambushing us in the city. We are lucky in the current situation. If it can find out the real situation in the city and attack the city in person. Your Majesty Please leave immediately in case something unexpected happens! Donglai City can be destroyed, but Canglan Kingdom cannot be destroyed. I will try my best to hold it back and buy some time for Your Majesty to retreat!"
Lu Dahang shook his head with a solemn expression.
He is not an alarmist, but is prepared for the worst case scenario of Donglai city being destroyed.
"Brother Lu, is the situation so serious?!"
Hearing this, Ling Feizhuo fell down on the throne with a horrified expression, and looked at the ministers with a horrified expression, "What, what should I do? My dear friends, who will kill this beast king for me!"
Yan Xiuzheng bowed and remained silent.
On the east city gate, hundreds of civil and military ministers, whether old or young, all looked at each other with sad expressions.
The only one who can fight against the Sea Beast King is King Wu.
They are just a group of Wuhou, what countermeasures can be taken! No countermeasures can be used in front of the Sea Beast King. Strong combat effectiveness is the key.
But the combat effectiveness of Canglan Country has been destroyed by themselves.
"If Marshal Ye were here and the regent was here, why would the situation be like this!"
The veteran minister Ling Hong couldn't help but sigh softly.
When Ling Feizhuo heard this, his face suddenly turned red and his whole body was shaking with anger.
What he hates most is that others compare him with Ye Fan, saying that he is not as good as Ye Fan and the regent. Ling Hong actually violated his taboo, and he couldn't help but became furious: "You, you old man, you dare to cause chaos in the face of a powerful enemy." My military spirit, come here, drag him down! Behead him, behead him!"
