Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 340: The Undead Return to Yiqu Pass

Outside Yiqu Pass at night, dark blue flames surged towards Yiqu Pass like a tide. The originally warm and blossoming spring weather once again entered the cold winter with the arrival of the undead.

The grass, trees and flowers in the city began to wither rapidly and lose their vitality as the temperature dropped sharply.

The chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and other animals inside the pass kept screaming and wailing, trying to break free from their restraints and escape.

"coming!"

On the wall of Yiqiu Pass, Tuoba Meng looked at the dark blue flames that were surging like a tide. In the sky, there were huge skeleton monsters flapping their wings and flying. His face became even heavier.

Although the number of monsters was not as huge as the people who escaped said, it was roughly estimated to be around 500,000. None of the dozen or so giant ghosts in the sky were weaker than him, and there were other ghosts that could fly. It was very difficult for Yiqu Pass to hold on.

Even after emergency mobilization, how many soldiers can be forced to conscript in one day and one night? Now there are only 100,000 at most.

The monsters guarding the city on the wall also swallowed hard, their hands holding their weapons turned white, and it was unclear whether it was because of the cold or the nervousness.

"Send the messenger out!" Tuoba Meng ordered the fox demon military advisor.

Now he could only pray that he could achieve temporary peace through words, but he also knew that his hope was not great. The enemy came with such a large force, it was impossible that they were here to see the magnificence of Yiqiu Pass.

"Okay!" The fox demon military advisor immediately accepted the order.

Soon, a team of thirty monsters consisting of wolf monsters and fox monsters flew out from Yiqiu Pass. These monsters were all powerful monsters.

They went to negotiate, or to die.

~~~
"Lord, there is a group of monsters flying towards us from Yiqu Pass, numbering thirty!"

Outside Yiqiu Pass, a large army of undead is marching towards them at full speed.

A Nightmare-level Eagle Knight suddenly came to the army and reported to Li You, who was riding a giant bone wolf below.

After hearing the report, Li You pondered for three seconds and ordered: "Order the entire army to stop advancing! Take up a defensive formation!"

"Roar!"

Following Li You's orders, roars continued to sound among the army of undead, and Li You's orders were quickly conveyed.

Soon, the entire undead army stopped advancing and quickly changed formation.

Heavy shield skeletons and skeleton archers quickly came to the front of the army, followed by ordinary undead soldiers, and skeleton cavalry on the two wings and in the center. Bone dragons and skeleton mages were in the middle, followed by skeleton shield soldiers and archers.

This is a standard formation that can be used for both offense and defense. The advantage of using a standard formation is that no matter what the situation, you can quickly change the formation to deal with unexpected events.

"The envoy from Yiqu Pass of the Later Qin State requests to see you!"

Soon, the thirty wolf demons and fox demons flew in front of the undead army. One of the wolf demons shouted loudly.

"Wow~!"

After hearing the shout, the next second, the undead in front of them lined up in a tight formation moved in unison to make way for a three-meter-wide passage.

The sound made by the coordinated movements was like that of a skeleton.

Seeing that the undead were so well-trained, the demon messengers looked even more solemn. After looking at each other, they walked into the passage made by the undead. Soon, the thirty demons came to the middle of the army and saw thousands of nightmare-level undead in the middle of the army.

Looking at these nightmare-level undead, the monsters felt even more heavy-hearted.

Judging from their aura alone, although these undead are not as good as their generals Tuoba Meng and Tuoba Ye, they are comparable to ordinary young generals.

The next second, these nightmares made way. Li You, who was covered in golden bones, rode out on a giant wolf with golden and white bones, and looked down at the thirty monsters: "What are you doing here, envoys to the battlefield?"

"Gudong!"

Seeing the monarch-level undead, all the little demons couldn't help but swallow their saliva again. The aura emitted by this golden skeleton was much more terrifying than that of the furious Lord Tuoba Meng.

One of the fox demons stepped forward, saluted timidly, and asked, "Excuse me, what force are you from? Why are you sending a large army to invade the border of the Later Qin Dynasty?"

"Humph!" Li You snorted coldly upon hearing this. "We are the undead, and we believe in the great and eternal Lich King, King Fusu. I am Li You, a junior general under General Bai Qi. As for why we are here, the land ahead is the old land of the Qin State, and the people inside are the old people of the Qin State. Tell me why we are here!"

"This~~~" The fox demon was a fox demon, and although he was timid, he quickly found an excuse: "I don't know what the old Qin land is. Now my country, the Later Qin, has been established here. Without the king's order, we will not give up an inch of land. In order to prevent unnecessary wars and meaningless casualties, I hope this general will wait for a while, and wait for us to report to our king and wait for the king to send an envoy personally."

"Okay! I will station troops here for seven days." Although he knew that this was a delaying tactic of the fox demon in front of him, and it was very despicable, Li You still agreed. After all, his mission was only to station 500,000 troops here, to deter Yiqu Pass at all times, and to spread the name of the undead, so he didn't bother to care about other things.

"Okay, I will pass on General Li's words to my general. Goodbye!"

The fox demon said immediately after hearing this, then quickly turned around and left.

This is the enemy's army, and the death aura emitted by these undead is too strong, affecting their vitality all the time. They don't want to stay here any longer.

After the monster messengers returned, they immediately reported the results of their mission.

"Undead, Lich King, Fusu, Bai Qi~"

Listening to the reports from their demon generals, Tuoba Meng, Tuoba Ye and the fox demon military advisor all frowned.

They did not really believe Li You's reply to wait for a week. If they were in the same situation, they would not wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Yiqu Pass if they could capture it. They would only capture Yiqu Pass as soon as possible, and the sooner the better.

But no matter what, at least the enemy did not attack at the first moment, so they had more time to prepare for defense.
-
On the other side, Northern Wei, Yanmen Pass.

Bai Qi personally led three million undead souls and came like an overwhelming tide.

Yanmen Pass, thousands of miles away, also received the news early on.

The commander of Yanmen Pass, the great bat demon Qingyi paced back and forth in his general's mansion, constantly issuing orders one after another, anxiously waiting for a response to his request for help.

Under his orders, a famous demon general continuously sent letters for help to various cities in the rear, and also sent urgent military information to Tuoba Gui, the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At the same time, a team of fifty demons also set out from Yanmen Pass and quickly rushed towards Bai Qi's army, preparing to negotiate first.

In addition, more than a dozen demon reconnaissance teams went out to find out the details of the incoming enemy.

In addition, under Qing Yi's order, all the demons in Yanmen Pass, and even those who were only regarded as food in the past, were forcibly recruited as soldiers, ready to defend Yanmen Pass to the death.

After all, an army of more than three million ghosts is no joke. To put it bluntly, they can easily break through Yanmen Pass and destroy the entire Northern Wei Kingdom.
