Chapter 838: A bird sings
Zhang Hui looked at the man in black robe coldly and said slowly:
"Now, tell me your plan."
"Otherwise, just wait to die."
There was a look of fear on the face of the man in black robe, and then he answered slowly:
"We...will hold a ceremony on the Summer Solstice to summon the power of Chaos to the world."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hui hurriedly asked:
"The ceremony? Where is it held?"
"In...an ancient ruins near the capital."
The man in black robe answered mechanically,
"There is a stone tablet engraved with ancient runes there, which is the key to opening the passage."
Zhang Hui frowned slightly:
"That stone tablet...is the one I've been studying?"
The man in black robe nodded:
"That's right...we need to decipher the runes on the stone tablet to complete the ritual."
Zhang Hui was shocked and quickly asked: "How many have you cracked?"
"Only...only half of it has been cracked." The man in black robe replied,
"The key piece is still missing."
Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"Who is your boss?"
The man in black robe suddenly struggled violently:
"No...can't say...absolutely not!"
Seeing this, Zhang Hui knew that he wouldn't be able to find out anything if he continued to ask.
He waved his hand, and several of his men immediately stepped forward to subdue the man in black robes.
At this moment, Yun Youzi hurried over:
"How's it going? Did you ask anything?"
Zhang Hui briefly explained the information he had just received. After hearing this, Yun Youzi couldn't help but frown:
"It seems that things are more complicated than we thought."
Zhang Hui nodded:
"Yes, we must return to the capital as soon as possible and tell His Majesty the news."
Yun Youzi pondered for a moment and said:
"You go back first, I'll stay here to deal with the rebels."
Zhang Hui hesitated:
"Isn't this not good? You are alone..."
Yun Youzi smiled:
"Don't worry, I can handle these rabble by myself."
Seeing Yun Youzi's firm attitude, Zhang Hui had no choice but to nod in agreement.
That night, Zhang Hui set off back to the capital overnight.
At the same time, on the northern frontline, Li Yang was leading the army in a fierce battle with the aliens.
After several days of fierce fighting, the Daxia army finally gained some advantages.
But Li Yang knew in his heart that this was only temporary.
While he was thinking about his next strategy, a scout hurried over:
"General Li, this is bad!"
"Another new enemy force has arrived!"
When Li Yang heard this, he couldn't help but frown:
"How many people?"
The scout replied:
"According to our observations, there are at least 50,000 people!"
"And... they seem to have brought some strange weapons."
Li Yang's heart sank, he knew the situation was bad.
At this moment, a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky.
Li Yang looked up and saw a huge black shadow appearing in the sky, flying towards their position!
"This is...everyone, get out of there!"
Li Yang shouted, and then he saw the black shadow casting a huge object.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, accompanied by a blinding bright light.
For a moment, the whole earth was shaking.
Li Yang barely stood up, looked up, and couldn't help but take a breath.
I saw that their position had been blown into a huge crater, and there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere.
"This...what the hell is this?"
The general on the side asked in horror.
Li Yang gritted his teeth:
"I don't know... It seems that those Chaos Cultists have secretly hidden a lot of good things..."
"In this situation, it would be better for everyone to retreat immediately!"
"We must redeploy!"
Just as Daxia's army was retreating hastily, the foreign army had taken the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
Li Yang commanded the troops to retreat while resisting vigorously.
But facing the enemy's new weapons, their situation becomes increasingly difficult.
At this critical moment, someone suddenly shouted:
"Look! Heaven!"
Li Yang looked up and saw countless golden lights appearing in the sky, falling towards the alien army like a meteor shower.
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of explosions sounded, and the alien army suddenly fell into chaos.
Li Yang took a closer look and couldn't help but be overjoyed:
"It's the Yanyang Bomb! It's the reinforcements sent by His Majesty!"
Sure enough, we soon saw a mighty army coming from a distance.
The leading general was none other than one of Xia Yuan's confidants.
Li Yang has a little impression of him...
What does it seem to be called...
Gong Feng?
Gong Feng rode up to Li Yang, cupped his fists and said:
"General Li, Your Majesty has sent me to support you."
Li Yang nodded:
"That's good."
"But the methods on the other side are extraordinary..."
Gong Feng nodded:
"It doesn't matter, our methods cannot be underestimated, they are enough to fight against those alien monsters."
As he spoke, golden afterglow burst out from his eyes.
Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously realizing something.
This thing... is the Golden Crow?
Indeed, since there are already Xia Yuan and Daxia.
It is very reasonable for the Golden Crow, as the patron saint of Daxia, to appear at this time.
With the addition of reinforcements, the Daxia army quickly reversed its disadvantage and began to counterattack.
...
At the same time, in the capital, Xia Yuan was anxiously waiting for news from all parties in the imperial study.
At this moment, Zhang Hui hurriedly arrived:
"I have important information to report!"
Xia Yuan quickly let him in, and Zhang Hui told him everything he had learned in the south.
After hearing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but take a breath:
"You mean, they're going to hold a ceremony at the ruins near the capital on the summer solstice?"
Zhang Hui nodded:
"Yes, if nothing else, there is a stone tablet in that ruins, which belongs to the same category as the "Taiyuan Xuanzang" we have."
Xia Yuan frowned:
"So now...how is the research on "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang" going?"
Zhang Hui smiled bitterly:
"I feel ashamed to say that I have only cracked about half of it so far."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said:
"Time is running out, we must find the location of the ruins as soon as possible."
"Immediately organize your manpower and use all your strength to crack the stone tablet."
"At the same time, I will send people to search for suspicious ruins near the capital."
Zhang Hui nodded in agreement and immediately left the imperial study.
At this moment, another guard hurriedly ran over:
"Your Majesty, good news has come from the north! Our army has repelled the alien attack and is pursuing victory!"
Hearing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good...it seems that Gong Feng has lived up to my expectations."
"Send the order, let them continue the pursuit, and make sure the aliens are completely driven out of my territory in Great Xia!"
The guards took the order and left, while Xia Yuan stood in front of the window, looking at the distant sky with a myriad of thoughts.
The conspiracy of the Chaos Cultists is the biggest threat right now.
Just when Xia Yuan was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly felt the world spinning.
A loud bird call came from his mind.
