Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 13 Deadline has arrived
"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

"Don't worry about those who can't walk. We are running out of time! Hurry up!"

In the dark night in the Mountains of the Dead, four Huns from different tribes were madly rushing for time, some even abandoning their companions.

These were the Huns who were unwilling to be Qin citizens and who still took the risk of crossing the Yin Mountains even though they knew that time was running out.

At this time, they looked at the moon rising gradually in the sky. Everyone was extremely anxious and ran for their lives.

Especially when they saw the increasing number of undead on both sides of the canyon and on the surrounding ridges, with weapons in their hands and staring at them fiercely, they felt as if a sword was placed on their necks.

Tension and fear weighed on the nerves of every Hun.

In the moonlight, Fusu called Morton and came to a high mountain somewhere in the canyon.

"Mao Dun, do you think it's time?"

Looking at the Huns who were trying their best to catch up in the canyon, Fusu asked Maodun beside him indifferently.

"Your Majesty, still..."

Maodun looked at his compatriots who were rushing to catch up with the clock and wanted to say that it was not time yet. He could not bear to see these compatriots die, and it was already an hour and a half away from midnight.

But when the words came to his lips, Maodun stopped abruptly and said, "Your Majesty is the heaven of our Xiongnu. Whatever Your Majesty says is the time."

"Hahaha! I like to hear that. Doing something knowing it's impossible is the stupidest thing to do!" Fusu laughed loudly, his eyes revealing murderous intent as he looked at the Huns running in the canyon. Since these Huns knew they couldn't get through but still tried, and since they didn't want to be Qin citizens so much, then let them die!
After he finished speaking, Fusu waved his hand and made a chopping gesture to the skeleton wizard beside him.

Upon receiving the order, the Skeleton Mage immediately shot a green fireball into the sky.

Hearing Fusu's words, Maodun's heart trembled. He knew that none of the tens of thousands of compatriots who were still running desperately in the canyon would survive.

"Woo!"

Sure enough, the next moment, loud horn sounds began to sound from the ridges on both sides of the canyon.

"It's over!"

In the canyon, hearing the sound of horns beginning to sound on the ridge, the Huns who were still running desperately were all stunned, their faces pale and full of fear.

"Hurry up, we're almost out of the canyon!"

At the mouth of the canyon, hearing the death-warning horn sound coming from the surrounding ridges, some Huns who were almost at the mouth of the canyon suddenly changed their faces and ran as fast as they could, trying to get out of the canyon in this last moment.

However, the next moment, forty five-meter-tall giant zombie warriors were already blocking the entrance of the canyon with maces and broadswords. Behind the giant zombie warriors was a team of five hundred death knights.

"Squeak~~~!"

On the ridges on both sides of the canyon, countless skeleton archers and corpse archers began to draw their bows and arrows. The crossbows were also pulled open, and the sound of pulling strings continued to ring out. Sharp arrows were aimed at the Huns who were still running desperately in the canyon.

At various crossroads in the canyon, countless undead drew their weapons and the undead cavalry prepared to charge.

"Woo!"

On the ridge, the giant zombies blew the second horn.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”

In an instant, countless arrows shot like a rainstorm at the Huns who were desperately running in the canyon.

"Roar!" Countless skeleton soldiers swarmed out from the forks in the canyon and rushed towards the Huns who were already running out of breath like a tide.

"No, it's not time yet! This is ahead of time! It's not time yet!"

"If they don't keep their word, I'll fight them! I'd rather die standing!"

Looking at the rain of arrows shot from the ridges on both sides, some Huns shouted in fear, while others picked up weapons and prepared for a desperate fight.

However, they suffered heavy casualties under the dense rain of arrows.

When the undead charged forward, they had no power to resist and were swallowed up by the swarm of undead in an instant.

A single skeleton soldier is indeed weak, but when they come like a tsunami, they are enough to overwhelm the most elite warriors.

----------

"Drive! Drive!"

At the entrance to the Hetao Plain of the Mountains of the Undead, the hidden Hun spies saw that the entrance to the Mountains of the Undead was blocked. They heard the sound of horns and the roars of the undead coming from the mountains in the distance, and immediately turned their horses around and galloped away.

Not long after the spies left, pairs of blue flames flew out from the canyon in the darkness and spread to the entire Hetao Plain. They were actually bird undeads, and they were the best scouts.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound of horse hooves rang out like a galloping river. In the moonlight, two hundred thousand skeleton cavalry and corpse cavalry surged out from the Undead Mountains, divided into seven teams and spread out to the entire Hetao Plain.

Next up will be millions of skeleton soldiers and corpse soldiers. They will cleanse the entire Hetao Plain.

Shortly after these cavalrymen left, a luxurious carriage that was ten meters long and six meters wide slowly drove out of the canyon.

There were five hundred death cavalrymen and ghost cavalrymen in front and behind the frame, as well as one thousand death warriors and ghost assassins, forming a long team.

----------

At the beginning of next month, Yiqu.

"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"

"We have herded all the cattle, sheep and horses of our tribe here. Now we are sending them all to Qin. Please open the gate and let us in!"

"We have collected all the cattle, sheep and horses nearby for Daqin. Let us go in."

"Your Qin State must be in great need of cattle and horses for farming. We have a lot of experience in raising cattle and horses! We can help Qin State breed more good cattle and horses!"

"We have changed our surname to Qin and are now citizens of Qin. Please allow us to enter the country! We promise to abide by the laws of Qin."

"We can farm, raise cattle and horses for Qin, and we can help you build the Great Wall. Let us in!"

More than 60,000 Huns who did not choose to evacuate due to lack of time or other reasons gathered outside the city gate of Yiqiu.

They shouted, hoping that the Qin State would open the pass and let them in.

Although the leaders of these tribes had never seen the undead or the Lich King, they had also seen the Huns who had described them vividly. Especially when it came to turning the dead Huns into undead warriors, these leaders knew that the Huns could not resist the Lich King, they could not resist at all.

Especially now that it is the first day of the month, those Hun leaders who did not evacuate with their tribes are extremely anxious.

Now the deadline has arrived. If we don't hurry up and enter the pass, once the Lich King's army of the dead arrives, the Qin State will probably not dare to open it again. By then, the more than 60,000 Hun people here will probably have difficulty surviving.

In order to enter Daqin as quickly as possible, they gathered the people of the tribe outside Yiqiu Pass and shouted, some even offering to help build the Great Wall.

You know, this Great Wall was built specifically to defend them, and it was also the thing that gave them the most headaches.

Of course, it is not them who will be building the Great Wall for defense in the future, but the Lich King, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

On the wall of Yiqiu Pass, Meng Wu looked at the Xiongnu who were shouting outside the pass, and he was overwhelmed. These days, the Tianan envoy Ge Diaomao came to beg him every day, and every time he met him, he kowtowed and cried, just to ask for the gate to be opened.

There were now more than 60,000 Huns outside the Great Wall, including young and strong men, the old and weak, women and children, and even many infants. There were also more than 200,000 cattle, sheep and horses sent over.

The reason why he knew it so clearly was, of course, that there were more than a thousand Qin soldiers among the Huns outside the city.

These soldiers were the ones he had sent out before for reconnaissance and herding cattle, sheep and horses. As the Huns came too quickly, in an endless stream and in large numbers, he did not dare to open the gate again, so the soldiers who had gone out were also locked outside.

The data he knew were compiled by these soldiers.

"General Meng!"

At the gate of the pass, the Xiongnu envoy Anshi Gediaomao and six deputy envoys hurried over again. When he saw Meng Wu, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged with tears in his voice: "General Meng, please open the gate. The deadline has come. If you delay any further, these 60,000 Xiongnu people, no, 60,000 Qin people will really have no way out. Please! As long as you give the order to open the gate, you will let me do anything!"

"Alas!" Looking at the begging Xiongnu envoy in front of him, Meng Wu quickly pulled him up and sighed helplessly. "It's not that I don't want to open the gate, but I really don't dare to open it without the king's order!"

Without the king's order, let alone letting the 60,000 Huns into the pass, even the Hun envoys could not leave the pass until they were summoned.

I don’t know what kind of existence the Lich King is, who could scare the Huns, who were once ferocious and brutal, into such a state.

"It will take at least three to five days to wait for the king's order. Now the deadline given by the Lich King has arrived. How can we wait any longer? Please open the city gate! Even if you have to tie up everyone outside and bring them into the city, you can kill me now as long as you open the city gate."

An Shige Diaomao burst into tears and could only beg bitterly.

It takes at least six days to get from here to Xianyang, which means a round trip of twelve or thirteen days. It has been ten days since he arrived, and there will be at least two or three days before he gets a reply. And the reply he gets may only be a summons for the messenger, not a switch.

But now the deadline has arrived, how can I wait?

If the Lich King's undead army really arrived, Meng Wu would not dare to open the gate even with the king's order.

"Tell me, what exactly is the Lich King?"

Meng Wu asked again the question he had been asking these days.

If the Lich King really existed, how could he not investigate it if he could scare the Huns so much? However, facing this question these days, the Hun envoys kept silent and were very scared.

Even the Huns outside the pass didn't know about it. Only their leaders knew, but they kept silent about it and were terrified.

"Yes!" Anshige Diaomao's body trembled suddenly, and he looked at the Xiongnu people outside the pass, and finally said tremblingly: "It is a powerful king. The Xiongnu north of the Yinshan Mountains are finished. My Xiongnu is finished."

Until now, An Shige Diaomao still dared not tell the truth, for he was afraid that Qin would refuse to allow the Xiongnu to enter the pass after knowing the truth.
