This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 381 Edict
Three days later, under the setting sun.

Black smoke billowed from Xiping City.

A broken dragon-shaped banner hangs over the city.

A little monster sneaked up to the top of the city, smelling here and there, seeming to be looking for suitable food.

The bloody smell here has not dissipated, and corpses, weapons, and armor are everywhere on the city wall.
The strong smell of blood is the most familiar hunting ground for this monster.

It has lost its direction from the large army, and it is a little less violent and a little more spiritual.

Suddenly, it showed a panicked expression.

Directly in the sky, two streamers of light suddenly flew over.

The speed of these two beams of light was extremely fast, and they fled to the city wall in a blink of an eye.

In one of the streamers, there was a light hey.

"Roar!"

The roar of the little monster baring its teeth.

However, his body was uncontrollably grabbed by the volley, and his thick short legs kicked wildly in the air, struggling endlessly.

"Bloodthirsty beast?"

"Did the Yaozu pull this thing down? Or did they stay on the battlefield intentionally to let it grow quickly?" The streamer dispersed, and two Qi refiners in Taoist robes revealed their true faces.

One of them is a female Taoist priest.

The female Taoist priest's eyebrows were cold, and when she raised her hand, a sword energy flew out.

The little monster didn't have time to let out a scream, it was pierced by the sword energy on the spot, turned into a blood mist, and floated in the air.

"Junior Sister Zhou, here you are."

The male Taoist moved a little slower, but the little monster died.

He immediately regretted it, and felt a great pain in his heart.

"This is a rare 'bloodthirsty beast'. When it grows up, it is at least at the level of a big monster. If it is said to be chopped, it will be chopped off? If it is put on the market, it can sell at least 100 yuan of spirit stones."

Zhou Wei didn't have the heart to chat with her senior at all.

"Brother, it's getting late, check quickly and find traces of the demon tide."

"Okay, I know."

The male Taoist shook his head, and reluctantly took out a gossip plate from the sleeve of his Taoist robe.

This iron gossip plate looks like an old thing, very inconspicuous.

The male Taoist priest walked up to the top of the city, chanting words, and a faint Taoist rhyme wafted from his body.

"Om-"

The gossip plate vibrated violently, and a huge gossip map appeared, like a spiritual light, spreading inside and outside half of the city wall.

The aura of gossip shrouds the inside and outside.

The male Taoist priest's eyes suddenly emitted two dazzling rays of light.

Two rays of light fell into the disc of the eight trigrams spirit, circling around, spinning wildly, one of the lights became faster and faster, and finally caught up with the light in front, and the two lights turned into one light.

The aura suddenly shrank, and the gossip disk disappeared.

The male Taoist priest's face paled slightly, but the spiritual light did not disappear, but hovered in the air.

Finally, it fell into the center of his eyebrows.

The aura dissipated, and the Taoist robe blown up by the wind regained its calm.

The male priest opened his eyes.

"Brother, how is it?"

Zhou Wei asked coldly.

The senior brother frowned, shook his head and said, "No, I still can't find it."

"Why can't you find it?"

Zhou Wei turned up the volume, showing dissatisfaction.

The male Taoist thought to himself that if he couldn't find it, he couldn't find it. Could it be that I lied to you?
"Cao Zhaowu said that Yao Chao should have gone to Liangnan, senior brother, are you looking for Li Gua carefully?"

"It really doesn't work, you check again."

The male Taoist priest looked puzzled: "Junior Sister Zhou, I've looked for it, but it's really not there."

"This gossip map is quite expensive to search for spirits, and I only use it once a day at most."

"The Cao Zhaowu you mentioned may not be right, maybe he guessed wrong?"

Cao Su guessed wrong?impossible!
Zhou Wei absolutely trusted Cao Su, and those who didn't know how good Cao Su was was because they didn't know Cao Su well.

Zhou Wei and Cao Su have worked together for a long time, and they already know how powerful Cao Su is.

Her current strength is also inseparable from Cao Su.

So Zhou Wei trusted Cao Su more.

She felt that her senior brother's Taoism was not profound enough.

"How can this be good?"

"I can't find traces of the demon tide, how should Liangzhou deal with itself?"

Zhou Wei felt that the matter was difficult.

Three days ago, Xiping City was attacked by a demon tide.

Tens of thousands of demon tides carried tens of thousands of beasts, overcame the obstacles of the imperial army, and destroyed the entire Xiping into ruins.

Now Xiping City has become a ghost city, and there is no one in the city.

Inside and outside the ghost town, there are still many corpses.

No matter whether it was a demon corpse, an animal corpse or a human corpse, they hadn't had time to clean it up yet.

The whole battlefield is very messy.

The [-] imperial guards and the frontier army were all buried in Xiping.

Feng Yuchan, the chief general of Xizhou's suppression of the chaos, disappeared on the battlefield and his whereabouts are unknown. He was suspected of being killed in battle.

The Arch Guard Division dispatched a large number of staff to investigate.

Zhou Wei, as a Qi refiner in the Demon Slayer Taoist Hall of the Demon Master Jing, was also dispatched to Xizhou.

After meeting with Cao Su from West County, Cao Su pointed out the direction, thinking that the monster tide should be active in Liangnan, but it does not rule out that the monster tide has already crossed the mountains in the south and penetrated into the deep mountains and old forests.

It would be difficult if all these monster races went into the deep mountains and old forests.

If the army can't kill them, there is nothing they can do.

West County.

Cao Su led the remnants of the imperial court to rest here.

In the past few days, some remnant soldiers have been recruited one after another.

They are all remnants of soldiers who escaped from Xiping, looking very miserable.

Xiping was razed to ruins, which was terrible.

Feng Yuchan and other generals of the imperial court disappeared one after another, and the hearts of the people in the army were scattered.

People's hearts were scattered and morale plummeted. Cao Su entered the camp every day to prepare the army for battle, strengthen training, and gradually bring back a little morale of the troops.

But in West County, there are still clouds.

Every day, a large number of people fled to Yongzhou and Xiguan.

The entire Liangzhou was plunged into the quagmire of war.

It's fine if you fight the Qiang people, but now you're fighting the demons.

Not even human, how should we fight this battle?
The people lost all confidence and fled towards Yongzhou.

Originally, there were few people in Liangzhou, but now there are even fewer people.

The entire West County looked deserted, and in the city, only the Imperial Army, the Frontier Army, and the imperial cavalry led by Cao Su remained.

In addition to sending spies around to look for the enemy, Cao Su led his soldiers to guard the west county to the death.

Among the West Commanderies, Cao Su now has the final say.

In addition to his original three thousand descendants, the soldiers of the Changshui and Huqi Second Battalions also obeyed Cao Su's orders.

Cao Su reorganized and collected the troops who had killed the general, and the number of troops under his command expanded to 8000.

Among them, of course, the soldiers of the Changshui and Huqi Battalions had many criticisms.

However, Cao Su's power is now at its peak, and no one dares to disobey him.

In addition, Xiao Yan also seemed to acquiesce in Cao Su's behavior, and it was fortunate that the two battalions could maintain a certain amount of their original establishment.

After such adjustments, there were only 2000 people left in the two battalions of Changshui and Huqi. The two battalions each had 6000 people, and Cao Su's number reached 8000. Shi Yong was officially promoted to the school lieutenant. Cao Su's fourth general after Zhang Ke, Luo Yi, and Li Li.

And Ma Chao was promoted to the commander of Cao Su's personal cavalry, and his rank reached the centurion.

Zhang Ke, Li Li, and Luo Yi went one step further and became generals under Cao Su's command.

After the adjustment of the establishment, the troops took on a new look, and their morale improved steadily every day.

In mid-January, another heavy snow fell in Liangzhou.

Heavy snow covered the entire prefecture, and the tens of thousands of remaining demon soldiers and generals suddenly disappeared.

Cao Su waited in Xijun for more than ten days, but did not find any trace of the enemy.

Later, Zhou Wei, who went out to investigate the situation, told him that these monster soldiers and generals may have entered the deep mountains and old forests in the south of Liangzhou.

In the south of Liangzhou, there is a large area of ​​deep mountains and old forests.

Known as the "Lishan Mountains", it is one of the few large-scale mountains in Liangzhou.

This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, from the south of Liangzhou to Tiannan Road, intermittently.

Because of the towering mountains and the many wild animals in the forest, there are few people.

This place is at least hundreds of miles away from Xijun. If the monster tide really entered Liangnan, then the crisis in Xijun would be lifted.

Cao Su had already made preparations for another wave of monsters in Xijun, but he didn't expect that there would be no follow-up at all.

In late January, news came from Jincheng that [-] Qiang cavalry were heading east, pointing directly at Jincheng.

The guard of Jincheng, Jia Tao, asked for help from Xijun and the imperial court.

"The Qiang army is coming again?"

The soldiers of Xijun were all dumbfounded.

Some people think that they should go, that is the duty of a soldier of the imperial court.

Some people think that they shouldn't go, Liangzhou is still plagued by demons, if they lose Xijun, that would be a real serious crime.

Therefore, everyone hesitated, and no one could make up his mind.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do and was ready to listen to Cao Su's opinion.

The imperial edict came suddenly and was conveyed to Xijun.

This edict was finalized by the emperor himself, and was specially conveyed to Cao Su.

Everyone was taken aback.

Although Cao Su was in control of the power of Xijun at this time, he was only General Zhaowu after all, a military officer of the fifth rank, and his rank was not high in the entire center. Why did he directly alarm the emperor and issue a special edict?
