a very dark dark guard

The siege army is in the open, and the assassins hired by the other party are in the dark. They combine the light and dark in an attempt to quickly seize the city. Other cities are not uniform and cannot prevent killers from sneaking into the city.

I'm so busy here that I'm hitting the back of my head every day, and I can't keep an eye on all my allies.

I only sent secret guards there. They should protect the city lords if they can. If it doesn't work, give up and come back as soon as possible to report to me.

War in the era of cold weapons can only be fought at the cost of human lives, and there is no possibility of peace at the moment.

It takes just one night for a city to go from 'birth' to 'death'.

Outside the defense lines of coastal cities, many cities were destroyed by war, and their former prosperity was destroyed in the fire.

The farmland of the village was turned into scorched earth, corpses were strewn in the fields, and wild beasts were rampant.

On this day, I suddenly received a letter from Mrs. Ying. In her letter, she mentioned the "great cause" and hoped that I would support Ximen Wuhen to the end.

She has long been ambitious and has always wanted to plan a great cause for Ximen Wuhen. She didn't want to see me before, but now she took the initiative to write a letter to express her goodwill for her son's career. She probably saw the strength of Sun City.

Ximen Wuhen occasionally writes to me and tells me about the situation there. The Demon Cult is really developing well underground. They use special ores to create a weapon that is more powerful than a sword.

But he never wanted to fight for hegemony. Mrs. Ying tricked him into seclusion, and she controlled all outside affairs.

She participated in the world's conflicts in the name of Ximen Wuhen, hoping that I could help the Demon Sect as always.

After her promise came true, she publicly recognized me as Ximen Wuhen's sister and the 'princess' of the new dynasty.

I am now the 'lord', and the 'princess' she promised has no appeal to me.

But Ximen Wu hates that I am familiar with him. No one in this world can get it, but if he gets it, Sun City may be more peaceful.

My reply contained private goods, many spiritual threads, wrapped in the letter paper.

The long-lost demon sect reappeared and seized the power of Tengxue Kingdom in one fell swoop, causing Tengxue Kingdom to change its owner.

This event is as shocking as an explorer discovering a new continent.

The Tengxue Kingdom was renamed the Demon Snow Kingdom. They possess magical weapons that the world has never seen before. A stone is inlaid on the top of a wooden stick, which can hurt people and protect the body.

Even a child can understand how much time can be saved in making weapons by not forging metal weapons.

The weapons used by the demon army do not require how smooth the stick is or how round the stone is. It can be used by just whittling it, which is much easier than forging a sword.

When it plays a protective role, it cannot be cut by a knife, impenetrable by a sword, and it is helpless against flint and arrows.

Ximen Wuhen sent me a sample. It is a two-color stone, black and white, with clear distinctions. When the black side faces the enemy, you can attack, and when the white side faces the enemy, it acts as a shield.

It looks like magic, but it's still physics.

To show her sincerity, Mrs. Ying sent someone to escort a batch of stones over.

This new weapon is more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but it is still not good against martial arts masters.

Someone robbed the stone halfway, and the robbery group was all top-notch martial arts masters. Fortunately, I sent someone to respond, and the person who responded was wearing my spiritual thread tracker.

It's the kind used in the city to catch spies. They couldn't beat the stone robbers, so they stuck the trackers on them.

Spiritual thread is colorless, odorless and insubstantial, and those people do not know its purpose. With the spirit thread still around, I spent some time and finally found the stone.

I can't leave Sun City without Yunzhou. Fortunately, there are many people available now, so I don't have to do everything myself.

Rumors have long circulated in the martial arts community that no one can take my things away.

These people just didn't believe it, and the result was no surprise: their efforts were in vain and their lives were lost.

Those who dare to rob Sun City's ordnance and materials must not be treated lightly. I have issued an order to kill them all.

The new weapon is easy to assemble and put into use. The black and white stone cannot only be embedded in a wooden stick, as long as it is a staff-shaped object, it can also be replaced by a torch-shaped object.

In this way, we can save a lot of metal mines. I first ordered people to form a 'Yin Yang Army' to support our allies with new weapons to test the waters.

The first batch of stones sent was only enough to equip an army of 10,000 people. Plus each city's own troops, it would be no problem to withstand several rounds of attacks.

But fighting on the entire coast is not enough. Mrs. Ying only sent this batch of stones. She did not mention that there would be follow-up transportation.

Do you want me to know that this thing is useful but not enough, so I can take the initiative to ask her for it?
I thought to myself, and decided to leave her alone for the time being, and take the initiative to find her, just to give her a chance to make conditions. For now, Sun City does not need help from outsiders. Whoever is not in a hurry can speak first.

Bai Mudan sent someone to send a secret message, asking me what happened to the demon sect? What's my attitude?

I told Mrs. Ying about her ambitions. She coaxed Ximen Wuhen into seclusion. Now she is in charge of the affairs of the Demon Cult. However, she won the world for her son. The royal power will eventually fall to Ximen Wuhen.

I have no problem with him being the master of the world.

Bai Mudan received a reply and soon surrendered on her own initiative, because Jiu Shuang's strength was not as good as that of the Demon Snow Country. The Tengxue Country had that treasure to produce food, and it already had strong soldiers and sufficient supplies. After being swallowed by the Demon Cult, it was a merger of powerful forces and equipped with the Demon Army. It's a new weapon. The swords of Jiu Shuang's army are no match for this powerful weapon that suddenly appears.

Bai Mudan's attitude when she came to ask me was that she was determined to fight to the end.

If I want to be an enemy of Moxue, she will ally with me and fight against Moxue to the end.

Since I prefer Ximen Wuhen to be the master of the world, she will not make fearless sacrifices.

The people of Jiu Shuang Kingdom suffered terribly in the flames of war, running away to death. Seeing that their opponents were much stronger than them, if they persisted, they would probably lose their country and annihilate their clan.

Another purpose of her letter was to let me contact Moxue Kingdom and act as an intermediary to ensure that Moxue would not massacre the city after taking over Jiu Shuang and treat her people well.

She didn't believe Mrs. Ying, so she had no choice but to come to me.

Jiu Shuang and Teng Xue were neighbors, so it would be easy to merge. I sent secret messages to each of them and helped them arrange a time and place to meet for a talk.

Once the two countries merge, it will only be a matter of time before the other two countries are 'taken over'.

Therefore, the army that attacked the coastal cities evacuated overnight and was transferred back home to prepare for another battle.

The pressure on our side disappeared immediately. Luo Xiuran's letter arrived shortly afterwards. He had no news for a while because he was poisoned by a strange poison.

He could barely support himself in presiding over state affairs and war, and he was relieved that the coastal cities were safe. With the strength of Sun City, he could definitely hold on until the end of the war.

However, he had exhausted all his efforts and his body could no longer recover. Seeing that he was running out of energy, he originally wanted to hand over the territory he conquered to me, as much as I wanted, and I would fight for it myself in the future.

But the Demonic Snow Country was born across time and peacefully swallowed up Jiu Shuang. He was worried and quickly wrote to ask me what my plan was. (End of chapter)
