Chapter 164 Nanyun County that is about to be destroyed
Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, an existence with a background so powerful that it makes all the first-rate forces in Sapo Continent tremble, actually went so far to stand up for that woman.
Could it be that that woman is the illegitimate daughter of an old monster from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce?
Thinking of the terrifying sword light that forced him to retreat in the battle at Tiandong Mountain, Long Ao nodded silently.
It's also his fault that he was so obsessed at the time that he didn't think that the other party might come from a big force.
With such a small amount of cultivation, you can have such combat power, as well as unpredictable magic...
How could such a person be an ordinary person...
Long Ao felt extremely regretful.
If he had known that the woman named Feng Qingyu had such a strong background, he would not have provoked her.
It's just that his apprentice died, not his son, so why should he fight with the other party to death?
If it weren't for the fear of this woman's power, Long Ao would have already organized a counterattack with manpower.
It's just that one sword cultivator died, but there are still several strong void-refining experts on his side.
Especially in the back hall, there is a strong man whose cultivation is above that of Lianxu!
But now it was no longer possible. If the stumbling block of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce was not removed, he would not dare to act rashly. He could only watch his territory being eroded bit by bit by that Tuoba kid.
As the leader, Long Ao felt uneasy, and those soldiers and generals felt even more uncertain.
Especially after several battles, the vigor of the Nanyun Army was completely rubbed away.
The morale of the military is unstable, and the morale of the people is also unstable.
News of the defeat came one after another, making more and more cultivators not optimistic about the Dragon Tooth Palace card.
The cultivators who came before have left one after another, and even the foreign businessmen have closed their shops, packed their bags, and evacuated from the main city of Nanyun.
Almost every day, countless cultivators flee from Nanyun County.
The generals responsible for guarding the city knew that this situation would have a great impact on the entire Nanyun County, but there was nothing they could do against these cultivators.
They are not locals, so they can come and go as they please, and no one can restrict them.
After all, the superiors only ordered strict interrogation of cultivators entering and leaving the city, but did not seal the city to prevent people from leaving.
And since these people are determined to leave Nanyun County, they can't stop them.
As a cultivator, who doesn’t have some life-saving means?
No matter how strict they are in checking, they can always find a way to slip through.
There was really no way to deal with these people, so the general responsible for guarding the city had to report the situation, hoping to get support from the superiors to completely seal the city gate.
But his good intentions, instead of getting any reward, actually caused a catastrophe!
Not only was he punished with a reprimand and dismissal from his post, he was also directly removed from the army, ending all his future.
The general felt that he was aggrieved and had worked hard for so many years, but he had not gained much benefit. Instead, he had been demoted. If this order spread, he would not have the shame to hang around in Nanyun.
Having been an official in Nanyun for many years, this general has accumulated many connections.
After collecting spiritual stones and treasures all over the place, many senior officials began to intercede for the general.
However, no matter who tried to persuade him, he could not change this decision.
And everyone kept writing letters asking for the withdrawal of the punishment of this general, which finally angered Long Ao.
As a result, a series of iron-blooded purges began within Nanyun officials.
The officials who submitted letters before were demoted and punished.
Even the general who had been dismissed from his post and was idle at home was arrested by Long Ao's personal guards.
After a severe punishment, the general's hands and feet were broken and thrown into a black prison.
After witnessing Long Ao's bloody wrist, no one dared to say a word.
The newly transferred generals were cautious, and the remaining officials who had not been affected no longer dared to write lightly.
He was afraid that if he angered Long Ao again, he would end up with the same result as the previous general.
People inside and outside Nanyun were in panic.
Every day, countless battle reports come from everywhere, but the contents are all the same.
Either the city was captured, or the general died tragically, and the Osumi cavalry, which continued to regain lost ground, gradually approached Nagumo.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before troops come to the city.
The storm caused by this general lasted for half a month.
Every day, almost someone is implicated for no reason and thrown into the black prison by Long Ao.
Even the young men who followed him all day long were not spared.
Even half a month of venting failed to improve Long Ao's mood.
It wasn't until one day half a month later that a group of strangely dressed caravans from other countries came to Nanyun County, and Long Ao's bad temper finally improved.
All the officials he had thrown into prison were released and reinstated.
Even the culprit who caused this turmoil was released, and doctors were personally arranged to come to his home to treat him.
Long Ao's sudden change left his subordinate officials confused.
But if you can come out of that dark place, no one wants to feel uncomfortable again.
But his loyalty to the small imperial court of Dragon Tooth Palace has faded a lot.
Nanyun's military morale finally began to stabilize due to Long Ao's transformation.
At this time, the army of Osumi Kingdom also completed the recovery of all cities, and the emperor Tuoba Yunjie's emperor's sword pointed directly at the guide cloud!
The nine major sects all mobilized to respond to the monarch's attack on the Dragon Tooth Palace.
Those casual cultivators without the support of their family clans also joined the army one after another, dreaming that one day you can change the fate of yourself and your family through military exploits.
After ten days of garrisoning, the army set off.
However, in less than half a month, Tuoba Yunjie's cavalry recovered all the cities around Nanyun, leaving only one main city, which was composed of several cities merged together, and had not yet been conquered.
There was no suspense. Just two days after the siege of the city, Long Ao's letter of surrender had already been delivered to Tuoba Yunjie's desk.
Unfortunately, the civil and military opinions of the Manchu Dynasty were surprisingly unanimous, and no official agreed to accept the surrender.
And Tuoba Yunjie also complied with public opinion and officially launched an siege order against Nanyun County City!
To everyone's surprise, Long Ao and the void cultivators did not go out to fight. They only stood on the high city wall and looked down at the battlefield below with cold eyes.
In addition to those soldiers, there were also many local people from Nanyun who rushed to the battlefield.
Each of these people seemed to be going crazy, picking up weapons and fighting each other. They were so brave that they were not like normal people!
Even the elderly, women and children seemed to have been drugged, and they were hacking at random on the battlefield where there was a sea of people.
Seeing this scene, Tuoba Yunjie in the chariot was already suspicious and ordered the soldiers not to make trouble with those ordinary mortals.
However, those people were going crazy. The soldiers did not move them, but they held the weapons in their hands and tried their best to attack the horse's legs. At this time, the warriors of Osumi Kingdom could not stand it anymore.
War horses, especially war horses with the blood of monsters like this, are extremely precious.
The soldiers who have been on the battlefield all year round regard him as their closest comrade-in-arms and partner.
