Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

When they were thinking this, there was no trace of panic in their eyes. It was obvious that what happened outside the city gate at this time was completely within their expectations.

Since you have anticipated it, you will naturally be prepared.

The two nodded tacitly, and then Jiang Chengdao waved his hand and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Nowadays, there are still young people who dare to cause trouble under my nose. I really don't know whether to live or die!"

"Everyone, don't panic, and relax. As long as I am here, Luojing is the safest place in Central Continent. No matter how many thousands of troops or monsters there are, I can defeat them all with one force!"

Hearing what Saint King Cangming, one of the strongest men in Central Continent, said, some of the courtiers immediately felt relieved.

Yes, the person in charge of Luo Jing now is the legendary Holy King, a terrifying existence who can single-handedly change the situation on the battlefield.

Even the dynasty in its heyday couldn't stop the Holy Land with all its might, so what's the point of mere turmoil?

Although Luojing is not a holy realm, and holy kings can only exert the power of holy relics in the holy realm, Saint King Cangming is obviously an exception. Otherwise, how could he have the ambition to devour the world?

Only by stepping out of the holy realm with the power of the holy relic can you be qualified to compete in the world. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the power of the holy relic is, it will be meaningless.

Although I don’t know how Saint King Cangming did it, it is an indisputable fact that he was able to use the power of the holy relics outside the holy realm.

Otherwise, how can we explain that he was able to descend from the sky without Luo Jing being aware of it? How could he explain that the Xuanwu Guards of only tens of thousands of people were able to defeat the 15 troops stationed in Luo Jing and defeat them in less than a day? Luo Jing changed hands and killed all the once arrogant empress dowagers in Luo Jing?

With such a powerful being standing in front of them, those courtiers such as Li Zheng who had just expressed their goodwill to the Holy King breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why they showed their favor to the Holy King so quickly was because they took a fancy to the supreme combat power of the Holy King Cangming.

This is the first holy king in history who intends to conquer the world...

Lu Chen also fell silent at this time.

It's not that he doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot and prod Holy King Cangming again, asking him to quickly ask the empress to issue an order to remove him, but it's just that there is such a big movement now, and it is inappropriate to say this at this time.

Things have priorities, and the issue of evil party members is obviously not as important as this sudden turmoil.

And anyway, he has fully expressed his position, and the Holy King Cangming will definitely not allow a die-hard emperor like him to continue to exist in the court.

Being dismissed will happen sooner or later, there is no need to rush.

After a while, there was a sudden "click-click" sound outside the hall, and not long after, a young Xuanwu Guard wearing heavy armor appeared at the door of the hall.

"His Royal Highness the Holy King!"

As soon as he walked into the palace, the young general half-knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The east city gate was attacked by the enemy with a very powerful explosion technique. Although the defense technique of the city gate was extremely strong, it was not broken immediately. , but the formation of the city defense formation was shaken. The enemy took advantage of the instability of the formation and released the light and shadow magic to launch a fierce attack on the east gate. General Zhu has led a thousand brothers to meet the enemy."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao clasped his hands and asked the young general: "Huaiyi, is the enemy the Forbidden Army?"

Li Huaiyi nodded heavily.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Holy King, the enemy's main formation is erected with the Red Dragon Flag of the Forbidden Army and the Xuanfeng Flag of the Former Queen Mother."

"Heh...Xuanfeng Qi, in order to maintain his power, don't you hesitate to use the name of the Demon Queen?"

Saint King Cangming sneered, "It seems that for these moths, as long as they can ensure their prosperity and wealth, it doesn't matter even if the Queen Mother is a demon queen controlled by evil spirits..."

Hearing this, the courtiers below couldn't help but look a little strange.

Although the fact that the Queen Mother used sorcery to escape has been certified by the Zhuxie Division, and there are also worship experts who were once the Queen Mother's confidants who came forward to prove it, it is basically confirmed, but what is the truth... It's hard to say.

It's just that in name, Saint King Cangming's surprise attack on Luojing can barely stand up legally.

Of course, at this point, whether Queen Mother Zhao is really controlled by evil spirits is not that important.

As the saying goes, the winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.

Whoever is the winner can define himself as the righteous party, who obeys the imperial edict and fights against the rebels and eliminates the disobedient.

Therefore, in the eyes of some big bosses who are as clear as a mirror, although the Holy King Cangming has controlled Luojing, the emperor, and has the "righteousness to obey the emperor's orders and obey the emperor's orders", the Queen Mother's line and those who control 80 people have suffered heavy losses. The Forbidden Army has no chance of making a comeback.

It depends on whether His Royal Highness, the first ambitious Holy King in the history of Central Continent, can use the power of the Holy Relic to completely defeat the counterattack of the Queen Mother's family.

If he can really do it, it will prove that he indeed has the power to weigh the world.

At the same time, it also means that the Great Xia Qi is approaching, and almost no one in the entire Central Continent can stop him from taking that step forward to ascend to the sky and dominate the world.

"Let's go, everyone."

Jiang Chengdao placed his right hand on the hilt of the black dragon sword at his waist and slowly raised his feet.

"Follow me to see what those rebellious ministers who dare to collude with evil spirits will look like."

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtiers couldn't help but look at each other.

However, Jiang Chengdao obviously had no intention of giving them any advice. The moment he raised his right foot and dropped it, his whole body suddenly turned into a black light. In less than half a breath, it instantly passed by the civil and military officials. Appeared at the door of the main hall and walked out without looking back.

Seeing this, everyone wanted to say something, but the master was not there, and he had left instructions before leaving. They had no choice but to sigh and slowly walked outside under the gaze of a group of Xuanwu guards.

Lu Chen was naturally no exception.

He walked at the back of the crowd. After all, although he has become famous recently, he is essentially just a seventh-grade petty official. Although the Kedao Yanguan is a special official position with power and low status, but the official rank is there, he is now also He could only follow those courtiers.

The courtiers in front avoided him like the god of plague, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him.

Lu Chen also enjoyed his leisure time and was too lazy to go over and talk to other courtiers.

His purpose is to find ways to be dismissed from office. If this is the case, then he is destined not to get too close to other courtiers.

After all, when a person is incompatible with his surroundings, he is easily ostracized, and once he is ostracized by everyone, he is not far away from becoming an immortal.

This is also a way of rationally removing the body's official skin.

Although once Saint King Cangming regains his composure, he will definitely be the one to deal with him and beat him to the bottom, but it is always a good idea to make more preparations.

Chapter 16 Onslaught

"Kill!"

"Kill the false king and shape the world!"

"Whoever takes the head of the false king will receive a reward of one million and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households!"

"Come on! Brothers! This is the time to make great achievements!"

"..."

Luojing East City, under Changle Gate.

Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing the Forbidden Army's standard armor moved forward like crazy, braving arrows and rolling stones and logs falling from the sky, stepping on a shallow layer of walls that continued to extend towards the city wall more than thirty feet high. The blue translucent energy body charged desperately.

Behind them, more than 20 warriors wearing golden armor and standing in a magic circle that constantly emitted bursts of light waved the huge Xuanfeng flag symbolizing the Queen Mother while shouting loudly to boost morale.

The brilliance flowing out of the magic circle shrouded all the charging imperial troops. The eyes of every soldier shrouded in this strange stream of light were almost covered with blood-colored filaments. There were not many people who were facing death on the battlefield on their faces. fear.

Some are just desperate attempts like burning the boat.

Brave and fearless!

For a time, relying on several times their numerical advantage, they actually fought hard with the extremely powerful Xuanwu Guards, causing the battle to gradually become tense. It was no longer the same as before in Ziji City, where the Yulin Guards and the Warrior Camp were fighting. The tragic situation of being defeated by the Xuanwu Guards in three or two blows.

"Oh?"

On the East City Tower, Jiang Chengdao, who rushed here on his Jueying Horse, saw this scene and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Is the Martial God Formation interesting..."

"Your Highness."

Guard Zhu Yong quickly noticed Jiang Chengdao's arrival, and hurriedly cut the dozen or so forbidden soldiers in front of him in half with all his strength, and then left the place in an instant with a single arrow. When he reappeared, he actually came to Jiang Chengdao and knelt on the ground with one knee. , said loudly with a look of shame:

"The general is incompetent. Three thousand Xuanwu Guards were unable to quickly defeat [-] enemy troops in the hands of the general. Please ask the Holy King to punish you!"

If it weren't for the extremely remorseful look on his face that didn't look staged at all, others might have misunderstood that he was in Versailles.

You must know that Daxia is desperately attacking the city at this time, but Daxia has the best equipment, the strongest spells, and the most powerful imperial army in name.

Although the fact that he is the most powerful is not small, the equipment, physical fitness and skills of individual soldiers are real.

But even so, they can only rely on seven or eight times the number of people and powerful formations to be evenly matched with the Xuanwu Guards. One can imagine how unparalleled the Xuanwu Guards' combat power is.

Moreover, the entire Xuanwu Guard has a strong sense of honor. Even with such a record, Zhu Yong, as a general of the Xuanwu Guard, still feels guilty.

When the other generals who followed Jiang Chengdao heard what Zhu Yong said, they did not mean to comfort him at all. Instead, they stood there solemnly, apparently taking Zhu Yong's self-blame for granted.

Faced with this small numerical gap, the dignified Xuanwu Guards could not defeat the enemy quickly. It was simply a shame!

Jiang Chengdao shook his head.

"It's okay. The Forbidden Army used the secret Heavenly Formation of Great Xia, which greatly increased the combat power of the Forbidden Army. It's not easy for you, Zhu Yong, to fight like this. There is no need to blame yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yong immediately raised his hands and performed a solemn military salute.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

After comforting Zhu Yong a little, Jiang Chengdao began to mobilize the Xuanwu Guards' defense in an orderly manner, and at the same time used the power of the Holy Spirit to quickly repair the damaged city defense formation.

With his arrival, the morale of the Xuanwu Guards was instantly boosted. With the blessing of the Holy Spirit, the already tyrannical combat power instantly exceeded the limit. For a time, the combined combat power of the Forbidden Army, which was several times their size, was on par with that of them. The Xuanwu Guards began to counterattack quickly, and soon there was a faint tendency to suppress the imperial army.

For the Xuanwu Guards, or for the entire Cangming Army, the Holy King is their belief and their flag.

As long as he is there, even if he does nothing, the Cangming Army can be inspired and display extraordinary combat power.

Soon, Empress Dowager Zhao, who was standing in the middle of the Forbidden Army, protected by hundreds of top experts and powerful Forbidden Army generals, and her fellow martial uncle Xia Houyan sensed something was wrong.

"The consumption of Cloud Penetration has increased, and the casualties of the vanguard suddenly surged."

Queen Mother Zhao frowned and said coldly: "It seems that that guy has already arrived at the tower."

Xia Houyan's beard and hair are all white, but his figure is extremely tall, like an iron tower, which is intimidating.

Hearing what Empress Dowager Zhao said, he subconsciously looked at the tower in the distance.

With eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people, he quickly noticed a figure sitting high on a majestic war horse.

"The strongest person who can control the supreme holy power in the holy relics, the Holy King Cangming..."

On the slightly older face, a pair of cloudy old eyes flashed with cold light.

"It's hard to deal with, this kind of incredibly powerful existence in the legend."

"Humph!"

Empress Dowager Zhao snorted coldly and said: "Although the Holy Kings are powerful, they have been able to hide in the Holy Realm since ancient times and are unable to touch the land of Central Continent. This shows that there must be some limit to the power of the Holy Relics, preventing them from Use the power of saints outside the holy realm.”

After all, she is a political creature who has been in charge of the government for six years. Whether it is scheming, insight, or control over people's hearts, Empress Dowager Zhao has reached the point of entering the house. Naturally, she can see the essence of things through the surface to a certain extent, and then according to the Make your own judgment here.

"This has been the case for thousands of years. I don't believe that this generation of Holy Kings will be an exception. If this is the case, then he is not an invincible existence!"

Xia Houyan glanced at her with a subtle expression.
