Zhao Handong brought Kong Sheng and the Xiu'er to a small wooden house behind the injured army camp. He stopped at the door, turned his head and looked at the Xiu'er," The scene inside may be a little bloody ~ ~ ~ Lady Xiu’er, do you want to …

Xiu'er shook her head: "Master Zhao, I have taken care of the wounded soldiers before, you can rest assured."

Zhao Handong nodded, and pushed open the door with determination. As the door was pushed open, a nauseating smell of blood rushed out. Even Kong Sheng frowned, and followed Zhao Handong into the house.

There were three long tables in the room. On each table, there was a corpse. Even the corner of the room was filled with corpses. However, these corpses were not human beings. Their physique and torso were similar to that of humans, but they were covered with beast hair, and they had beast heads, beast claws, and even sharp canine teeth. The corpses on the table had been disemboweled and the internal organs had disappeared. It was likely that the doctors had taken them out to study.

Zhao Handong pointed to the corpses on the table, and said to Kong Sheng: "These are the ones that we found from the corpses, and are in good condition. The result was quite surprising. This was a combination of humans and Demonic Beast, so we now named them Demonic Beast Soldier. There are also soldiers who call them demon soldiers or beast soldiers, that's not important anymore. "

Kong Sheng casually picked up two clean sheets from the counter and gave one to Xiu'er while he covered his nose with the other. Then, he moved closer to the corpse and carefully observed it.

According to what Zhao Handong had said just now, this corpse was a Spirit Demon Tiger Soldier. He was more than a head taller than Kong Sheng, and his physique was much stronger. Judging from the torso and the opened abdominal cavity, this was a human's body, nothing more than a body full of strange beast hair. However, looking up at its limbs and neck, the situation was completely different.

Starting from his shoulders, the man's skin started to become thicker, the size of his arms also started to increase, the thickness of his arms were about twice as thick as Zhao Handong's, and the thickest parts of his arms were more than twice as thick, and both of his arms were also longer than normal. The leg part was the same, from the bottom of the thigh to the bottom, it kept getting thicker, the knees started to thin, and the ankles were turning differently from normal people. They were like tigers and animals with joints that were more suitable for kicking backwards, allowing them to run faster, jump higher and further. The most obvious change was on his neck. A huge tiger head like a hood appeared on the upper part of his neck. There was a sinister look in his eyes that was somewhat laughable.

The corpses on the other two tables were the Demon Wolf Soldier and the Demon Leopard Soldier. Other than them being slightly smaller and having a wolf head and a leopard head, the rest were no different from the Demon Tiger Soldier.

Zhao Handong interjected at the appropriate time: "Currently, they have a total of four Demonic Beast soldiers that have been used on the battlefield: Demonic Wolf Soldier, Demonic Panther Soldier, Demonic Tiger Soldier and Demonic Bear Soldier. The Wolf Soldiers are similar to our regular infantry, but their strength and speed are both higher. The Spirit Demon Leopard Soldiers were stronger and faster, the Spirit Demon Tiger Soldiers were about the same as the upgraded version of the heavy infantry. The most terrifying thing was the Demonic Bear Soldiers. If a Demonic Tiger Soldier could compare to the two heavy infantry s before, then there were four Demonic Bear Soldiers. Their only weakness was that they were slow. In terms of the use of the battlefield, the Demon Leopard Soldiers and the Demon Tiger Soldiers are their main force. "

"How is the battle going?" Kong Sheng asked as he walked out.

Zhao Handong shook his head lightly, "Let's fight in a stalemate. They don't have many Demonic Beast Soldier, but their numbers keep increasing. Demonic Beast Soldier are afraid of fire, we will use fire to attack and defend. After that, they unceasingly used ordinary soldiers and Demonic Beast Soldier to attack one after another, disrupting our plans and exhausting our kerosene s. We are only using our manpower to fill the hole. Earlier, we organized a batch of reinforcements. I don't even remember if it was 30,000 or 50,000 yuan. We just threw it in like that. In any case, everyone is living like the last day. If they come, we will fight, and if we fight, we will eat. If we can't, we will die.

Kong Sheng thought of the despairing looks on the soldiers' faces that he had seen on the way here, and silently nodded his head.

"Master Zhao, I would like to ask, are the Demonic Beast Soldier and ordinary soldiers being commanded separately, or are they being commanded together?" Xiu'er asked softly.

Zhao Handong answered: "Separated. The Demonic Beast Soldier's combat power is extremely strong, but they don't seem to listen to any orders, there are at least a few who would go crazy. Once, a hole was opened in our city wall, and a few of the demon tiger soldiers started fighting with each other, causing chaos. "Fortunately, it was like this that gave us the opportunity to organize a counterattack and block that gap.

Kong Sheng thoughtfully glanced at Xiu'er, "Lady Xiu’er means to say that Moqiu Army does not particularly understand the control of these Demonic Beast Soldier either?"

Xiu'er smiled slightly and did not answer, but her attitude had already explained everything.

Kong Sheng did not speak further, he turned and asked Zhao Handong: "Where is Master Shi?"

Zhao Handong pointed to the direction of the Castellan Mansion. "The old man just slept for a short while, he's already seventy, and yet he still endured for three days."

Kong Sheng sighed lightly, then asked: "Then what's your plan now? We can't just use our lives like this, can we? "

Zhao Handong took out his pipe from his waist and lit it up, he took a deep breath and shook his head: "How can I possibly have a good idea ~ ~ Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu have ideas, I can't do it."

Hearing these two names, Kong Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and asked: "How are the two of them?"

Zhao Handong laughed bitterly: "What else can I do? Stay in the barn, who would dare to let them out without permission? "

"How silly!" Kong Sheng let out a heavy sigh, turned and walked towards the barn where Qu and Chen duo were locked up.

When Qu Feizhi saw Kong Sheng walk in with large strides, he immediately jumped, and almost pounced on him. Although Chen Chu was not as excited as him, his expression clearly relaxed a lot, and even revealed a rare smile.

Kong Sheng did not waste time with words, he sat on the simple bench and asked: "What do you two think?"

Qu Feizhi laughed, "We have seen the corpse of the Demonic Beast Soldier, this is easy, since they are afraid of fire, let's set it on fire."

Kong Sheng rolled his eyes as he said, "How many kerosene in the city are there for you to deal with? What's more, can you outrun others or defeat them? Don't throw yourself in after the fire. "

Qu Feizhi laughed and scratched his head, hiding at the side and not saying anything. Kong Sheng frowned and said: "Qu Feizhi, if you think of this idea in these two months, I'm really disappointed in you."

"He only dares to speak nonsense in front of you." Chen Chu sneered and continued, "We have been deducing this for a period of time, there should be a method that works."

"Tell me about it." Kong Sheng did not stand on ceremony with him and stared straight at him and asked.

Chen Chu didn't bother to be polite with him. He picked up a chopstick and drew two circles on the ground, and then drew a straight line between the two circles: "Mo Qiu, Fire Phoenix, Demonic King Valley." He pointed at the three figures he had drawn, then raised his head to look at Kong Sheng. "From Fire Phoenix Empire to Mo Qiu, is there only one path, Demonic King Valley?"

Kong Sheng nodded subconsciously. "Yes."

"Wrong!" I was completely wrong! " Chen Chu completely ignored Kong Sheng. While shaking his head, he picked up the chopsticks and drew an arc in the air with it, "Wulian Mountain Range! You forgot about Wulian Mountain Range! Now, the Moqiu Army had increased to the Nine Tiger Flag! It was the largest military expedition in history! What did this mean? Not only does this mean how much pressure the Phoenix City Pass has to bear and how much pressure the empire has to withstand, it also means that there are only the three tiger flags in their own country! "

After hearing the three words "Nine Tiger Flag", Kong Sheng suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Handong. The northern man nodded his head bitterly in a rare moment, and then said in a low voice: "We've already repaired all the stone thrower, and we have sufficient stone materials prepared, we should be able to handle it."

"Hold on?" What's the use of stopping it?! " Chen Chu did not give this Vice Commander of the Phoenix City Pass the slightest bit of face. "It is not important that you put up the nine big tiger flags in front of the Phoenix City Pass! The most important thing was that there were only the three tiger flags in their country! If an elite troop of soldiers were to pass through the Wulian Mountain Range and go straight into the depths of the Moqiu State, this would be a good opportunity to eliminate the entire Moqiu State in one go! "

His words completely shocked Kong Sheng! As the two nations had been fighting for hundreds of years, no one had ever dared to say that their Moqiu State had been extinguished.

Kong Sheng's performance seemed to be already within Chen Chu's expectations. He no longer spoke and coldly looked at Kong Sheng. Even Qu Feizhi did not seem to be surprised by Kong Sheng's actions. He did not dare to stare at Kong Sheng like Chen Chu did, but he still hid at the side with a smile that was not a smile.

After a while, Kong Sheng finally snapped out of his shock, furrowed his brows and asked: "Where did all these soldiers come from?"

"Phoenix City plus Wulian Border Army. Of the two squads, one is familiar with the Black Scorpion Army and the other is familiar with Five Lotus Mountain. Chen Chu gave his the answer almost immediately.

"Putting aside the fact that the Wulian Mountain Range is unrestrained and unrestrained, just the fact that Demonic Beast are rampant in the mountain and even a while ago, a formation appeared. How do we get there?" Kong Sheng asked again.

Chen Chu answered even faster, "Since the Wulian Border Army can beat up the Demonic Beast and keep them hidden in the mountains, then there must be a way to get past them. The fact that the Demonic Beast were gathering into a formation meant that they had gained intelligence. No matter where that intelligence came from, as long as they had that intelligence, they would be afraid of death. If they understand, then tell them to either let us go there and split their Moqiu in half. Or if everyone were to fight face to face with each other with swords and weapons, gather several million people's militia s, and stomp them down as well, and level Five Lotus Mountain for him! "

His words resounded like thunder in everyone's ears. What he said was something that others wouldn't even dare to think about, was him using a land with Moqiu State that he had yet to obtain, to negotiate conditions with a group of Demonic Beast? Tens of millions of people's militia were trampled over? The entire population of the Fire Phoenix Empire was not even 50 million, what did a few million army mean to an empire? These four words were 'militaristic'!

A people's militia soldier's standard equipment was leather armour and a saber. If it was exchanged for money, this set of equipment would be worth an ordinary farmer's monthly rations. Moreover, Border Army wore chainmail, so the cost directly increased by five to six times. A farmer would need half a year to be able to afford a single Border Army. There was no need to talk about Red Camp anymore, just their war horses could almost match all of the equipment of two Border Army Soldier s. These were only soldiers. The officers' light armor, soft armor, the soldiers' death in battle, the medical fees for the disabled, and their pensions were all not counted.

Even if one were to calculate five million people's militia, ten peasants raising a single people's militia soldier, even if it was just a year of war, would be enough to wear down such a huge amount of Fire Phoenix Empire!

Even if it was done as he said, if the Wulian Border Army killed his way into the Moqiu State and millions of people's militia were to flatten it, what would happen to the Phoenix City Pass? A few tens of millions of enemies were eyeing them covetously. Even if they transferred all of northern province from the northern province to the entire nation, how long would it last? In the face of absolute advantage in numbers, a strong individual's combat power was not even worth mentioning! When the Moqiu State was destroyed and Five Lotus Mountain was trampled to the ground, how much Fire Phoenix Empire would there be left?

As if he had seen through Kong Sheng's thoughts, Chen Chu used a calm and almost callous tone and said, "Everything must come to a price, to rebuild half of the mountain in exchange for a united continent. Lord Kong, think twice about the merits of this world. "

Kong Sheng was shaken by what he had just said, and a small flame almost started to churn within his heart. That's right, this was an extraordinary achievement! For thousands of years, Mo Qiu and Wu Lian's Demonic Beast had been a thorn in the throat of the Empire. Now, even if he were to use the cost of destroying half of the mountain to wipe out his two enemies, who could say that he would be wrong? What's more, this half of the mountain could be rebuilt.

But very quickly, a cold feeling rose from Kong Sheng's heart. No, that's not right, there must be something wrong, I must have forgotten something. He quickly paced back and forth in the barn. No one interrupted him and just looked at him.

After walking a few rounds back and forth, Kong Sheng stopped in his tracks. He looked at Chen Chu and said, "I'm going to go and verify something. Before he finished speaking, he didn't look at anyone else and walked out of the room.

Zhao Handong froze for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to ask Chen Chu: "What is he going to verify?"

Chen Chu said indifferently: "Combat power, individual military capability. If the individual military capability is not able to fight the opponent one on one, then this kind of surprise attack would be meaningless. "

Chen Chu was right, the moment he came out of the barn he immediately ran towards the city walls. After chatting with the skinny Ling Zilu for a while, they got people to prepare armor and horses. Ling Zilu understood his superior very well now, so he did not say much and directly called for people to follow him.

He took off his jacket, put on a layer of lining on the standard chain mail, and got the Apprentice Knight to help him put on the standard plate armour s. After that, he stepped on the stone and mounted on the horse's back, hung the little battleax s under the saddle, hung his blade horizontally around his waist, put on his helmet, pulled down his protection, and finally took the knight spear from Apprentice Knight's hands. A mighty Fire Phoenix Army Knight was ready to go!

The city gate rumbled and opened a crack, and five Knights, led by Kong Sheng, rushed out, straight in the direction of the Moqiu Army.

Just as they ran out of the stone thrower's attack range, five black figures appeared in front of them. These were the five Leopard Soldiers, and they were clearly showing the traces of a queue as they rushed over from the side. They were extremely fast, although they were armored infantry, their speed was not much slower than Kong Sheng's group. They drew an arc, accurately blocking in front of Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng waved and ordered the other four people to stop. He took off his own Knight's Spear and slowly galloped it forward a few steps, levelling the spear's tip and lightly tapped it three times towards the soldier leading the group, this was a commonly seen sign of singlehandedness in battles. The enemy leader actually understood what Kong Sheng was trying to do, he turned his head and roared a few times, then walked forward by himself, extended his beast claws and lashed out at Kong Sheng a few times.

Kong Sheng could see a lot of meaning in this one action, but now was not the time to think about it too carefully. He turned his horse and galloped more than a hundred meters away, turning around to face the soldier once again. Then, with his legs on the horse's belly, he laid on the ground flat on his back and brandished the Knight's Spear in his hands, rushing towards the soldier once more.

He raised the shield in his left hand, and the curved blade in his right hand hid behind the shield. The pair of yellow eyes that looked exactly like the eyes of a leopard slowly widened as he stared straight at Kong Sheng.

In the moment before the two forces met, Kong Sheng changed his fighting style. He threw out the Knight's Spear in his right hand, then unsheathed his blade from the back of his hand and bit towards the Spirit Demon Panther soldier's throat like a venomous snake.

The Leopard Soldier did not hesitate either, the shield in its left hand clanged to forcefully block the thrown Knight Spear as it slashed down, and then the curved blade in its right hand chopped towards Kong Sheng's right wrist, which was holding the blade.

The more powerful the Spirit Demon Leopard, the faster it would be. If Kong Sheng chopped down with his blade, at the same time his own neck would be chopped off, his own wrist would also break. In that split-second, Kong Sheng decisively threw away his blade and retracted his hand. At the same time, his right leg kicked the Demon Leopard Soldier's right shoulder, ending this round.

After this round, Kong Sheng threw a blade and a spear. The Leopard soldier's right shoulder was injured, and it looked like it could no longer hold onto its scimitar. But looking from another point of view, it was actually Kong Sheng who had lost by half. After all, he was on the horse and the other party was stepping on the horse. "Not only did the Demon Leopard Soldier cancel out the advantage of a horse's high speed attack, it even fought to a draw with Kong Sheng. This kind of pure strength and the result of fighting with his life on the line made Kong Sheng a little nervous.

He took off the battleax and weighed it in his hand. The Leopard Soldier also threw away its shield and switched the blade with its left hand. Kong Sheng activated his warhorse once again, both sides clashed once again, this time Kong Sheng released his full strength, and somersaulted while using the handle of the axe to break the scimitar, following that, he swung his right hand, and the battleax flew past the neck of the Demon Leopard Soldier like it was training in white. With the gallop of the warhorse, a huge panther head shot into the sky and then rolled to the ground.

When the Spirit Demon Leopard Soldiers' heads fell to the ground, the other four demon leopard Soldiers shined their scimitars, the four Knights behind Kong Sheng also levelled their spears, the two parties were at loggerheads, and the atmosphere immediately became tense. Kong Sheng calmly rode his horse back, holding his battleax s, he held onto the ground as he led the four riders back. After they had left for a few dozen feet, the five of them almost simultaneously turned their horses around and rushed back to the Phoenix City Pass at full speed.

Zhao Handong welcomed him at the closed door, and when he had just taken off his helmet and was about to dismount and take off his armor, he asked anxiously, "How was it?"

The corner of Kong Sheng's mouth raised, his eyes sharp and fierce: "Perhaps, we can consider Chen Chu's idea."
