Chapter 554

In a sense, the defense line of Tianyue City, the capital of the King of Yue, is indeed impregnable.

Ning Qi, deputy envoy of the Privy Council and governor of Tianyue, commanded a 200,000-strong army to guard the 50-mile city wall, equipped with brand-new iron armor on a large scale, and also had a certain number of new troops, more than 10,000 rifles.

Not only that, but there are more than 500 howitzers with all kinds of shells.

Of course, such a large army cannot fight against the special warriors of Xingan Kingdom and Buddha Mountain, or even against the Hell Legion, but it can definitely fight against the ordinary army of Xingan Kingdom, and there is no small advantage. .

However, of the hundreds of thousands of troops that Ying Wuming brought this time, nearly half were Hell Legions, and there were more than 1,000 Air Legions.

Shen Lang's Raging Tide City is still not developing fast enough, the road of combining technological civilization and ancient civilization is right, and even many advanced weapons already exist in the laboratory. Such as the new Hellfire bomb, such as the new Nightmare Stone bomb, and so on.

But it is a pity that these weapons are still in the laboratory and cannot be mass-produced, let alone equipped with the army on a large scale.

Therefore, the 200,000 army of the Yue Kingdom still cannot stop Ying Wuming at all.

…………………………

In the palace of the King of Yue, there is no early court today, most of the officials are at home, only a dozen important officials and Ning Zheng are in the study.

"Some people say that the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu, and Yue are the burden of His Majesty Shen Lang. There is no need for the courthouses of these three kingdoms to exist, or perhaps all three of our kings should move the courthouses to work in Raging Tide City." Ning Zheng said slowly: "But I disagree with this point. Raging Tide City is our temporary imperial capital, and it represents the peak of the Daqian Empire. However, the human and material resources of our Wu, Chu and Yue kingdoms are the foundation of the Daqian Empire. Daqian Empire transports food, materials, talents, and troops?"

This is true. Raging Tide City was originally a trading city, but now it has completely turned into an industrial center. The ancient civilization and scientific and technological civilization research center originally only had 60,000 people, but now it has skyrocketed to 300,000 people.

In just over a year, the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue have sent hundreds of thousands of people and countless grains and supplies to Raging Tide City.

Not only Raging Tide City, but also tens of thousands of people on Tianfeng Island and nearly 100,000 people on Jinshan Island were all supported by the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue. Raging Tide City had completely ceased production.

There are more than a few hundred factories under Shen Lang, and more than 200,000 craftsmen of various types, producing countless armors, weapons and so on. Relying on the steel and metal of Jinshan Island is no longer enough, and it still relies on the support of the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue.

There are also new troops being trained by the Daqian Empire, with a total number of more than 300,000 people, and they still rely on the three countries of Wu, Chu and Yue to provide manpower.

Facing the enemy's special warriors, the secret army, the rifles and machine guns that Shen Lang originally planned have completely changed their plans.

Because of the impact of the comet, he got astronomical amounts of Nightmare Stone crystals.

The ancient civilization only knew how to use the nightmare stone to create the ancient crossbow. Arrow shape.

And Shen Lang intends to directly cross modern rifles, modern machine guns, modern artillery, and directly manufacture Nightmare Stone Rifles, Nightmare Stone Cannons, Nightmare Stone Cannonballs, etc. Even in his plan, there is the existence of Nightmare Stone aircraft.

This is the pinnacle of cooperation between scientific and technological civilization and ancient civilizations.

Using the design concept of modern scientific and technological civilization, using the ancient civilization nightmare stone as an energy source, create the most powerful weapon.

And as long as these weapons come out and are equipped on a large scale.

So whether it is Buddha Mountain or the secret legion of the Great Yan Empire, it doesn't matter.

What hell armor, what ancient armor, all destroyed.

But it is a pity that these new weapons combined with ancient civilization and technological civilization are all in the laboratory stage, even in the drawing stage, and it will take a long time to equip them on a large scale.

It really should be said, the future is bright, the process is tortuous.

Once these weapons are manufactured on a large scale and equipped with a new army of the Great Qiang Empire, there is no need for Shen Lang to come out to take risks, and the new army will just be pushed horizontally.

And these still depend on the manpower and material resources of the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue.

"We have hundreds of thousands of troops, but we can't stop the tens of thousands of Ying Wuming. Why is this?" Ning Zheng said: "This is the result of the Great Yan Empire and the detached forces suppressing the world for a long time. They tried their best to do everything possible. All means to block the ancient civilization, monopolize the ancient civilization, and over time, make us weak and weak. His Majesty Jiang Li is trying to break this imprisonment and liberate the advanced civilization. This is the catastrophe, and this great process has been delayed for twenty years. A few years. Now His Majesty Shen Lang has resumed this great mission, leading us to make great strides forward."

"Ying Wuming thought that as long as he took us as hostages, he could coerce His Majesty Shen Lang and break the process of the great rise of the Great Yan Empire? This is really ridiculous." Ning Zheng sneered: "I and the King of Chu, King Wu has long made up his mind that the three kings of us can die at any time. The foundation of the development of the Dagan Empire is not the three kings of us, nor the important ministers here, but the tens of millions of sons of the three kingdoms. People, as long as they are there, the rise of the Dayan Empire will be unstoppable, because tens of millions of people in the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue are united and united."

"The so-called ministers, don't care how close Ying Wuming's army is, or whether Ying Wuming's air legion will fly to the top of the palace in the next quarter of an hour, let's continue to work, the empire will rise, and we will only fight for the day! "

More than a dozen high-ranking officials present knelt down and said, "The minister follows the order."

Then, the Privy Council, Shangshutai, and Liubu continued to be busy, and they had endless things to do.

……………………

The more than 1,000 Snow Sculpture Corps under Ying Wuming flew at an altitude of 3,000 meters and formed dozens of large formations. Countless black spots appeared on it, like locusts.

The world has changed, and many things that have not been seen or heard of have appeared before. Last time, because of His Majesty Jiang Li's appearance, the world underwent a major change. And this time, because of the appearance of Shen Lang, the whole world has undergone drastic changes once again.

The more than 1,000 air legions under Ying Wuming are getting closer and closer to Tianyue City, and they will soon fly over the line in the air and enter the airspace of Tianyue City.

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the whole sky.

"Ying Wuming, come out and talk?"

Then, the Ultrasonic Flying Beast emerged directly from the cloud layer, with Shen Lang and Qiu Yao'er still riding on it.

Let Dachao fight against more than a thousand snow sculpture army? That is almost impossible, no matter how powerful it is.

It's just an ultrasonic flying beast after all, not a legendary dragon.

Ying Wuming couldn't help but stunned, this turned out to be Shen Lang's voice? When was he able to make such a loud noise?

God is pitiful to see, Shen Lang is too weak, so his shouting is weak, and he can't even reach a distance of 100 meters, so every time he uses a so-called artificial loudspeaker, and now his voice is resounding throughout the sky?

This is because Shen Lang's Nightmare Stone amplifier has finally been successfully manufactured. The principle of this thing is very simple, it is to amplify the sound waves, and the drawings in the classical books are clearly drawn, but it has only been successfully developed until recently.

Of course, Ying Wuming knew that Shen Lang disappeared into the sarcophagus in the ancient square. Although he knew the truth of scourge living for thousands of years, Ying Wuming couldn't help but think that maybe Shen Lang disappeared completely this time. ?

I didn't expect that in just a few days, he would appear again, which is really a scourge for thousands of years.

"Ying Wuming, Senior Brother, come and talk." Shen Lang shouted again.

Ying Wuming rode the ancient vulture toward the sky, rose to an altitude of 11,000 kilometers, and went to meet Shen Lang.

And Shen Lang rode Dachao at an altitude of 12,000 kilometers, and kept a safe distance at all times anyway.

After more than half a year, the two finally met again.

Shen Lang waited until: "Brother Ying Wuming, don't fight Tianyue City, don't fight the King's Palace, can you?"

"Do you think it's okay?" Ying Wuming said, "Brother Shen Lang, are you allowed to be unscrupulous? You killed my brother Ying Wuquan, and you played with my Xingan Kingdom and Buddha Mountain in applause, and you stole it away. Our Dragon's Regret, you blew up our ancient ruins again, this one after another, one by one, is really unforgettable, gnashing of teeth, so we must retaliate, cruelly retaliate."

Shen Lang said: "What if you killed hundreds of thousands of people in Tianyue City? What if you arrested Ning Zheng and the Manchu courtiers of Yue Kingdom?"

Ying Wuming said: "Release your anger? Relieve your anger? Can't you?"

Shen Lang said: "But in your heart, interests come first, right?"

"Shut up, don't say anything." Ying Wuming said, "It won't be too late for you to speak again after I have killed hundreds of thousands of yours, and when I arrest Ning Zheng, Zhang Chong and others, you It's never too late to speak."

Shen Lang said slowly: "Senior brother, how about that dragon egg? Have you hatched?"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Wuming's face changed drastically, and he looked around quickly, lest he be heard. Fortunately, Shen Lang's voice was very low, and he was the only one who heard it.

"It didn't hatch, right?" Shen Lang said: "If nothing else happens, you won't be able to hatch this dragon egg for decades and hundreds of years."

Shen Lang said again: "The last time I made a deal with the Great Yan Empire, the Great Yan Empire performed a super long-range strategic strike and wiped out tens of thousands of you under the King Kong Peak. This is the price paid by the Great Yan Empire. And I What price did you pay? Senior brother, do you know?"

Ying Wuming didn't answer. He knew that there was a secret transaction between Prince Lian and Shen Lang, but he really didn't know the details of the transaction, because no more than five people knew it.

Even he was very puzzled, what exactly did Shen Lang pay? It was actually worth the great price the Great Yan Empire had to pay for an ultra-long-range strategic strike.

Shen Lang said: "The Great Yan Empire asked me to open a box, a very, very special box. I was very, very curious, what exactly is in this box? It is completely incomprehensible, and countless great scholars of the Great Yan Empire have spent dozens of It has not been opened for years, because it involves an extremely difficult arithmetic problem, and only I can solve it, just like I used the law of four colors to help you open the ancient ruins in the southern sea area."

Ying Wuming said: "Continue talking."

Shen Langdao: "I'm still a little strange. The Great Yan Empire has already determined my identity a long time ago. At that time, I hadn't even gone to destroy the Xue family. At that time, they could grab me at any time to unlock that precious box. password, why didn't you do that, but let me open this box at this time?"

Ying Wuming already had the answer in his mind, and was slightly moved.

Shen Lang said: "After opening this box, I can feel that the box is empty, and there are no treasures in it at all. Then I made another bold guess, this box is used to hatch dragon eggs. The reason why I want to open it now is because The comet just hit Dingyuan City and just brought a dragon egg, so it is useless to open this box in advance, Senior Brother Ying, you must keep this dragon egg well, and don’t let the Great Yan Empire take it away.”

Ying Wuming's eyes twitched and said: "Shen Lang, what does this matter have to do with my war today?"

Shen Lang said: "Senior brother, the last time you lied to Sect Master Ren, you already made him feel bad about it. There must be absolute strategic mutual trust between you and Buddha Mountain. You only concealed a secret base to make him so angry. They know you've concealed a dragon egg, so what's the result?"

Ying Wuming's face turned cold, and Shen Lang finally threatened him with this matter.

It's really amazing. When Shen Lang was captured, even when his left hand was about to be cut off, he didn't use it to threaten Yingguang and his son. Now, in order to protect Tianyue City and Ning Zheng, he finally Take out this chip.

Once Sect Master Ren knew that Ying Guang and his son had hidden the dragon eggs, the strategic mutual trust would almost disappear.

"This matter is too important. Once Sect Master Ren knows, the rift between Buddha Mountain and Sect Master Ren will be almost irreparable." Shen Lang said: "Unless you are willing to take the initiative to hand over this dragon egg and give it to Ren. Sect Master, but are you willing?"

Ying Wuming said: "There is nothing unwilling, I am not only the prince of Xingan Kingdom, but also the heir of Buddha Mountain. You also know that Princess Buddha betrayed Sect Master Ren, so no one can take my place, so What if we hand over the dragon egg to Sect Master Ren? Didn't it fall into my hands in the end?"

"Really?" Shen Lang sneered: "How can you be sure that Sect Master Ren has no other ideas, or that he inherits from generation to generation? He should still be able to live a very, very long time, as long as he finds a way to cure Ren Yingying and let him She gave birth to a son, then in the future, Buddha Mountain may not be your turn, but will be given to the grandson of Sect Master Ren."

Shen Lang said what Ying Wuming was most worried about, and this situation is not uncommon. In the early Ming Dynasty, the prince Zhu Biao died, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not pass on the country to other sons, but directly to The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.

Shen Lang said: "So don't say anything like handing the dragon egg to Sect Master Ren. You are not willing to give up. This is your lifeblood, and it is also regarded by you as the biggest bargaining chip to seize the eastern world."

Ying Wuming said: "Shen Lang, I have a question I want to ask you, this dragon egg is so precious, you let it fall into our hands, are you willing?"

Ying Wuming should have thought about this question for a long time.

"Alas!" Shen Lang let out a long sigh, but didn't answer for a few seconds.

Then, Shen Lang laughed at himself: "The dragon egg is in your hands, it is safer than in mine. The average person is innocent, and the guilt of the jade is in my hands. If it is in my hands, how can my Raging Tide City resist the ultra-long-range strategy of the Great Yan Empire? Strike? I don't have an ancient interception device, and I don't have the martial arts of your father and son. But don't worry, when we become stronger, when I defeat your father and son, I will definitely get it back."

Ying Wuming said: "Then you may have to wait for a long time, and even if it becomes a dead bone, there may not be such a day."

Shen Lang said again: "Senior brother, the Ying family has a reputation as a chaotic courtier and thief. It's not good."

Ying Wuming said: "You don't need to remind me of my traitor's identity, I betrayed my adoptive father Jiang Li, I killed all your Jiang family, I wounded Qiu Yao'er, I captured you, you You can go back and write the names of our father and son a hundred times."

Shen Lang said: "There is only one Dagan Empire in this world. Your father and son dream of getting the orthodox name of Dagan. The people of Xingan Kingdom despise you in their hearts, but for their own interests, they still want to be loyal to you. My identity After being exposed, although they are willing to support me from the bottom of their hearts, they are afraid that the war will continue to burn on the land of Qianguo, and they are afraid that I am not strong enough to protect them, so they are still loyal to you Ying's father and son, right?"

In this regard, Ying Wuming is even clearer than Shen Lang. The people of Xingan Kingdom are too complicated. They are emotionally attached to Shen Lang, but intellectually loyal to the Ying family.

So Shen Lang and Ning Yuanxian have said many times, he doesn't want the war to spread on the land of Xingan Kingdom, and he doesn't need it either. It is very simple for him to get the allegiance of the subjects of Xingan Kingdom. It is enough to defeat and destroy Ying's father and son. .

As long as Yingguang and his son die, Shen Lang can get the allegiance of Xingan Kingdom without bloodshed, because these people have their hearts on Jiang Li, and as long as Shen Lang kills Yingguang and his son, it proves his strength and his ability to protect Xingan. The people of the dry kingdom.

Shen Lang continued: "Senior brother, your martial arts are really powerful. Qiu Yao'er is already the strongest person I know, but she is still defeated by you. You are indeed my father's only direct disciple."

Ying Wuming said: "I have already said that I have everything that Qiu Yao'er has, and everything that Qiu Yao'er doesn't have, I also have it."

Shen Lang said: "Senior brother, what do you think of my martial arts?"

Ying Wuming kept his mouth shut, because even saying a single word would be a great shame,

Shen Lang's martial arts? Not only does he have no martial arts, he can't even beat a goose.

Even the weakest and most ordinary militia under the Xingan Kingdom can instantly kill Shen Lang in an instant, and any ruffian on the street can slap Shen Lang in an instant.

Shen Lang said: "Senior brother, how do you think my martial arts compare to yours?"

The absurdity and anger surged in Ying Wuming's heart, not only did he stop talking, he even closed his eyes.

Shen Lang said: "Senior brother, the difference in martial arts between me and you should be the difference between a tiger and a rabbit. There is a world of difference. No, it's even more than that. It should be the difference between a tiger and a maggot."

Uh, your metaphor is very unique and very vivid, but it's just a little disgusting.

Shen Lang pondered for a while and said: "Senior brother, I have a very crazy suggestion, don't go crazy after listening to it."

Ying Wuming's eyes froze and said: "Speak."

Shen Langdao: "We announce to the world, choose a day for you and me to compete publicly. If I lose, the name of the Dagan Empire will belong to your Ying clan, and you will no longer be chaotic ministers and thieves. After that, he became the emperor of Daqian in an upright manner. And if I win, the subjects of Xingan Kingdom will also be completely loyal to me and become part of my Dayan Empire, and your Ying family will automatically lose the throne of Xingan Kingdom, how about that?”

As soon as these words came out, Ying Wuming was completely stunned.

He has experienced many major events in this life, and even when Jiang Li died suddenly, he was already an adult.

Although he looked no more than thirty years old at the time, he was actually in middle age. Of course, his martial arts are so strong that there is no problem in living to more than 100 years old, so it is completely reasonable to call him young at this age.

After all these years, what has he not seen? But at this time, Prince Ying Wuming was completely shocked by Shen Lang.

Is Shen Lang crazy? He's done a lot of crazy things before, and they've all been successful, but all the things he's done before are not half as crazy as this time.

It's amazing, it really makes people suspect that it's an ear problem.

Even Qiu Yao'er can't beat Wuming, let alone... Shen Lang.

10,000 Shen Lang can't beat Wuming with a single finger.

Shen Lang said: "We can let the six detached forces, the Great Yan Empire, and all the countries in the world witness together, if I lose, I will give you the title of Emperor Dagan in front of everyone, Ying Clan, from now on From now on, you will no longer be scoundrels and thieves."

Ying Wuming's heart beat faster, this is definitely the most dream thing of the Ying family.

Suddenly, Shen Lang shouted loudly with the Nightmare Stone loudspeaker: "Win Wuming, the two of us will fight to the death, and whoever wins will be the master of the Dagan Empire, do you dare? Witness by the six major forces, witness by all the countries in the world , hundreds of millions of people have witnessed, countless people of Xingan Kingdom have witnessed, and even this competition can be played directly in Ganjing, do you dare?"

This Nightmare Stone megaphone is so awesome that it really rang through the ground and sky.

Of course, this is because there are dozens or hundreds of the same Nightmare Stone receivers installed on the ground, so Shen Lang's voice can spread to every corner of this area.

He has been preparing for this day for a long time. He and Ning Yuanxian must have made this plan a few months ago, and two days ago, he had come to Tianyue City ahead of schedule, waiting to win the Wuming siege.

Following his loud roar, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground and the army of more than 10,000 snow sculptures in the air could hear clearly, and then the whole person was directly struck by lightning, completely doubting life.

I, I have hallucinations?

Shen Lang, who has no power to tie the chicken, is going to compete with His Royal Highness Ying Wuming, and also decides the ownership of the Daqian Empire?

Is there anything more absurd than this in the world?

Shen Lang shouted: "Ying Wuming, do you dare?"

If Ying Wuming didn't dare at this time, he would be the laughing stock of the world.

Of course he was completely irritated, what right do you have, Shen Lang, to challenge me? What do you think of martial arts?

You are inferior to a fly, why would you challenge me, a dragon?

Shen Lang shouted again: "Ying Wuming, do you dare?"

His voice resounded throughout the sky once again, and the hundreds of thousands of people under Ying Wuming could hear it clearly.

Ying Wuming said: "Shen Lang, are you sure?"

Shen Lang said: "We can tell the world, the whole world witnesses together, and even spread our martial arts book to the palaces of all countries in the world, and to the table of the six masters of detachment."

Ying Wuming stared at Shen Lang for a long time, and said slowly: "Mad, you lunatic."

Shen Lang said: "Senior brother, now it's your turn to make a choice. Either you continue to attack Tianyue City, and I will tell Sect Master Ren about the Dragon Egg. Either you retreat, and the two of us will duel to decide the name of the Dagan Empire. Isn't your father and son fighting for an orthodox title all their lives? Now you can easily get it."

Ying Wuming didn't speak for a few minutes, his mood was surging like a tide.

After a full quarter of an hour, Ying Wuming opened his eyes and said slowly: "Shen Lang, competing with you is the biggest shame in my life, I would rather chop off my hands than fight with you. Competing with waste like you is a complete smear of martial arts and a smear of my decades of life."

Shen Lang said: "But you will agree, right? Because the benefits are too great, and I am the only son of His Majesty Jiang Li, it is not shameful for you to compete with me."

"Shame, very shameful." Ying Wuming said: "But, I fulfill your madness, and I promise your challenge."

Shen Lang said: "A word is a decision."

Ying Wuming said: "A word is a decision."

……………………

Southern Sea, inside Castle Black.

Ying Wuming told the matter to the Lord of Buddha Mountain and Ying Guang.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, I'm very sorry, I didn't get your consent, I already promised Shen Lang." Ying Wuming said: "Because he yelled out in front of hundreds of thousands of people at that time, I couldn't refuse, let alone. retreat."

At this time, even Sect Master Ren and Ying Guang were completely stunned and silent for a long time.

Knowing that Shen Lang is a lunatic, but did not expect to be so crazy?

He actually wanted to win Wuming and issued a challenge letter, a one-on-one duel?

After a long while, Sect Master Ren said, "Is His Majesty Jiang Li so crazy?"

Ying Guang shook his head.

"Haha, hahaha..." Sect Master Ren laughed loudly: "It's interesting, it's so interesting, it really needs the world's attention now."

Ying Guang closed his eyes and opened it after a long while, saying: "Let's tell the world, and pass the book to Yanjing, pass the book to all countries in the world, and pass the book to the other five detached forces, let them witness together. ."

………………

In the next few days, the edicts of the Xingan Kingdom and the Dagan Empire spread throughout the eastern world.

Shen Lang and Ying Wuming will compete in a duel, and the winner will receive the orthodox title of the Dagan Empire.

Thousands of edicts flew like snowflakes to every vassal state and every major force.

Then the whole world was completely shocked.

The moment hundreds of millions of people heard the news, they first thought that it was a rumor, a complete rumor.

Ten thousand Shen Lang is no match for Ying Wuming with half a finger.

After it was determined that this was Shen Lang's edict, countless people seemed to be struck by lightning, and they were stunned on the outside and tender on the inside.

Your Majesty Shen Lang, we know that you are good at creating miracles, but this time is too scary.

But if you really win Ying Wuming, then... then you are a god, and the sun is really going to come out from the west.

………………

Note: The second one is sent. Dear benefactors, the monthly ticket is waiting to be fed.
