Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 186 Future enemies.

The environment of the fortress was not as gray as Zhu Houzhao had imagined.

Said to be a fortress, it is actually more like a city wall, winding and stretching for more than eighty miles.

On both sides are mountains with high roads and sky domes, endless as far as the eye can see, no one knows how long they are.

At the top of the mountain range, there is a sky exuding azure light. From time to time, huge figures and light burst out from above.

Opposite the fortress is a desolate plain that is estimated to be hundreds of miles in size.

At the end of the plain, there was a blur of mist that could not be seen clearly. The mist flickered from time to time, and several figures walked out of it and ran quickly towards the fortress.

Hundreds of miles of desolate plains were littered with corpses and decaying skeletons.

There are people, animals, and even a few giant creatures.

"Meet Emperor Ming!"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao and his men set foot on the fortress, a Qin general came over and bowed in greeting.

On top of the city wall, a Qin soldier looked at the plain vigilantly.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said to General Qin: "I believe your Majesty has told you that I will take over this place from now on. You have worked hard to stay here for so many years."

General Qin smiled freely when he heard this, "We are mortals. It is our honor to have the opportunity to come here to protect the safety of Yanhuang. How can we say that it is hard work?"

After saying that, he saluted again, turned to face the still vigilant Qin Jun and shouted: "Brothers, our mission has been completed, let's go home!"

When he shouted the words "go home", General Qin's voice trembled a little. The tense bodies of the Qin soldiers on standby suddenly collapsed. Many people sat down on the ground and looked at the ground blankly.

They have been here for more than ten years.

An unknown number of familiar faces fell here, brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, they could no longer remember how many people died.

If it hadn't been for Your Majesty, who had to use his body to block the enemy for the sake of Yanhuang, I'm afraid many people would have collapsed.

Looking at the Qin troops who were helped up by their companions in a daze and headed towards the checkpoint to prepare for retreat.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said loudly: "All Ming troops obey the order and salute the seniors!"

All the soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army stood at attention and raised their hands to salute the Qin army passing by.

The generals of the Qin army were extremely moved when they saw this scene. They used the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty to give the highest response to these new batch of protectors who took over their posts.

As the last Qin soldier disappeared into the whirlpool behind the checkpoint, Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, faced the plain in the distance, and said to Li Ze: "This is the place we usually guard from now on. I have only one order for you. Even if you die, you will die on the city wall for me."

Li Ze said nothing, raised his hand and saluted, making a silent guarantee.

"Shhhh..."

Streams of blue light flew out from the city wall, killing the monsters running out of the mist into pieces.

After staying at the fortress for two days and observing the general situation, Zhu Houzhao handed it over to Li Ze.

Through these two days of observation, he already had a general understanding of the situation in the fortress.

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised by the monsters that appeared.

Many of them actually exist in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

And through the logs left by the Qin army, Zhu Houzhao saw a word in them, heavenly soldiers!
That diary read.

That day, the fog surged, and a soldier several feet tall, holding a long sword, a fierce face, walked out of it.He was extremely powerful, and the armor on his body was extremely defensive. The soldiers tried their best to stop him, but it was difficult to injure him at all.

Seeing that the fortress could no longer be defended, His Majesty came down and used heaven-defying magic to kill him.

After checking the body, I found a half-human-sized waistband on its waist, which read: Heavenly Soldiers, Bing Army, [-], [-]!
According to our guess, the word C should represent the regiment to which it belongs, and the following number should be the battalion number to which it belongs.

At the end of the log, there is another question.

Are the heavenly soldiers really the heavenly soldiers we think of?
Recalling the contents of the diary, Zhu Houzhao returned to the Imperial Battlefield with a solemn expression and sent a private message to the First Emperor.

"What's wrong, little guy? With your strength, those monsters shouldn't be able to trouble you."

As soon as the two parties were connected, the First Emperor's doubts arose.

He knew Zhu Houzhao's strength well. Even though the strength of those monsters had increased, there was no pressure on Zhu Houzhao.

"How many times has that heavenly soldier appeared? Is it the kind of heavenly soldier I thought?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't talk nonsense and directly asked the doubts in his heart.

The appearance of the heavenly soldiers shocked him greatly. If it was as he guessed, then the future war might not be as simple as imagined.

The First Emperor was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I have discussed this matter with several other team leaders who are close to me. They have also encountered the heavenly soldiers, and even a small team."

"These heavenly soldiers are very powerful, and the armor on their bodies has amazing defensive capabilities. Only high-level peak soldiers are qualified to fight with them, and there is only a possibility of hurting them."

"We have not captured prisoners, and the two parties do not understand each other's language, but based on the fighting skills and methods they use, they may be the kind of heavenly soldiers we think of."

"As far as we know, the so-called enemies in the Ascension War are probably these heavenly soldiers."

"In our guess, the Ascension Battle is actually a test to see if you are qualified to enter the real battlefield."

"If you can't defeat a group of ordinary heavenly soldiers, even if you are allowed to enter the battlefield, you will still die."

"When entering the Ascension Battle, you will be kicked out if you fail. The reason may also be to keep it secret and not cause panic to ordinary emperors."

"After all, if the forces on the opposite side are as we imagined, they will have a huge impact on some emperors who have faith."

"It will even cause some emperors to doubt the existence of the imperial battlefield."

Zhu Houzhao's heart sank when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

If it is as they guessed, then the forces they will face in the future can already be blurted out.

"Heavenly Court!"

Two words popped out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth.

The First Emperor was silent for a moment and replied: "It's not necessarily that bad. It might just be a coincidence."

"Of course, I can't rule out that it's true. After all, our place is called the battlefield of emperors, and the emperor and heaven are actually opposites."

After that, the First Emperor comforted him: "But no matter which one it is, it's just our guess, whether it's heaven or coincidence. In the future, when we step into the real emperor's battlefield, all this will come to light. Now we have nothing to consider. Too much will only increase troubles and is meaningless.”

"Our mission now is to protect the fortress and enhance our own strength so that we can make our own voice and establish our own status in the real imperial battlefield in the future."

"Not for the so-called mission, but for ourselves, our people, and our families. We don't know when this battle will end. We must grit our teeth and persevere until we stand on the enemy's corpse, holding high the victory flag. That day, or we will fall.”
