C407 Nangong Feiyan's Aquamarine
With that, Xian Di waved her arm again. Instantly, a dense electric net formed around Xian Di's body, forming a thin defensive net.
Mei Rou's spear, Yu Loong's long blade, and Wu Tie's thin sword were all struck against the dense electric net. Their bodies trembled as if they had been struck by electricity. The weapon in their hands could not move even an inch further.
Just then, a Bone Dragon that was emitting a deathly aura suddenly appeared on top of Xian Di's head.
The Bone Dragon opened its big mouth that only had its teeth, bones and no flesh, and directly bit down at Xian Di.
Xian Di smiled slightly. Another bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, accurately hitting the Bone Dragon in the mouth.
Just like a small dog with its tail stepped on, the massive Bone Dragon that emitted a king level domineering aura actually started to twist and struggle in the air. After a few breaths, it suddenly fell down to the ground, shattering into pieces of bones.
After controlling Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and the others, Xian Di controlled the fist made of lightning once again. It emitted a piercing sound as it pierced through the air, and once again struck Ye Tian's lower abdomen.
This time, Ye Tian didn't do anything. He understood that no matter how defensive his magic or martial skill was, it would only delay the time for the punch. It couldn't really stop Xian Di.
In a split-second, Ye Tian suddenly bowed and covered his stomach with his hands. With a "Oh", he cried out as his face turned red from holding back his anger.
Xian Di finished her punch, looked at Ye Tian again, then quietly turned around and walked away.
After a long while, Ye Tian slowly stood up. He let out a breath and said with an extremely ugly expression: "Luckily we didn't eat in the morning, otherwise, we would really be implicated."
Hearing Ye Tian's words, the beauties all complained and surrounded him. They touched Ye Tian's belly and asked him if he was alright, if he was alright …
Ye Tian gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Has there been any news from Nangong Feiyan? Hurry up and get me the Blue Crystal. "
"As long as I have Blue Crystal, after my strength increases, I will definitely return all of the punches that I took, punch after punch." Ye Tian continued saying while clenching his teeth.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and the others looked at Ye Tian with sympathy.
Ye Tian stared at Bi Ling and said: "What are you looking at? I'm asking if Nangong Feiyan has any news? "
Bi Ling covered her mouth as she laughed, "Sister Nangong naturally has news. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ye Tian extended his hand and poked the tip of Bi Ling's nose. He continued to grind his teeth and said, "The one who took that punch wasn't you, so you're not in a hurry. Luckily I didn't eat breakfast, otherwise, you'd be sick."
Bi Ling had a frightened look on her face. She seemed to have imagined that Ye Tian would vomit all over the floor. He hurriedly nodded his head and said, "The first group of Blue Crystal are already on their way. It will take them two days to reach the Tianyang Pass."
Hearing Bi Ling's words, Ye Tian wiped his nose with his hand and said, "Looks like I'll have to take two more punches."
Nodding, Ye Tian continued: "Okay, let's go to the main hall to see what the next step is going to be."
With that, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the main hall.
Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and the others looked at each other. They all knew that their master had suffered a beating from a God Clan lady in front of a crowd of beauties today.
The few of them had expressions that made it difficult not to laugh. One by one, they followed Ye Tian into the main hall.
Ye Tian sat down on the teacher's chair and stared blankly at the three-dimensional holographic map in front of him. He didn't say anything for a long time.
While Ye Tian was still immersed in the pain of being punched, the morning assembly for a new day had already begun inside the empire's Shangjing City.
The emperor took the imperial report from last night and slowly said: "Minister Ye had to pay a difficult price to defend against the People of Oca's attack at Liaodong. Last night, he sent a report, requesting the construction of an information network system that was exclusive to Divine Weapon Camp. In Minister Ye's instructions, Divine Weapon Camp would be increased by two institutions: East factory and West factory. East factory was specifically responsible for collecting information on East Continent, and West factory was responsible for collecting information on West Continent. Currently, there were not many West Continent matters at hand, but if he were to complete this task in advance, there would be a day where it would be greatly useful. "As for the personnel, each of the east and west factories shall have one Governor, and the personnel under his command shall be appointed by each Governor."
At this point, the emperor glanced at the officials from the two military departments and continued, "What do you think?"
Hearing the emperor's words, the minister of war, Lin Chengzhou, raised his eyebrows slightly but did not say anything in the end. As for the Minister of Government, Qin Ruhua, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He narrowed his eyes as he stood on the spot as if he was resting with his eyes closed.
Seeing that no one made a sound for a long time, the Emperor opened his mouth and said, "Since there are no objections, I shall grant them my wish. "Dede, make an edict.
Hearing the emperor's words, Lee Defu, who was waiting at the side, swiftly took out an empty imperial decree and a high-quality calligraphy brush.
The emperor continued, "He ordered Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order, the Governor of Liaodong and Commander-in-chief, Ye Tian, to immediately take over Imperial Household Department from the east and west factories after receiving the orders. He specifically deals with the duties of intelligence, investigation, and surveillance.
The moment the Emperor's voice fell, Lee Defu, who was at the side, wrote the imperial edict. He sealed it with the Imperial Jade Seal and passed it to Little Wu Steel, ordering the people to send it to Liaodong immediately.
At this moment, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua, who were in the same boat, looked at each other. They could see the shock and doubt in each other's eyes.
Previously, when the Emperor mentioned the contents of the imperial reports, he had clearly said that it was from the eastern and western factories of Divine Weapon Camp. However, when he passed down the decree, he had changed it to the eastern and western factories of Imperial Household Department.
Although it seemed that the East and West factories both belonged to Imperial Household Department, the difference in one name was actually a huge difference in the levels of the two organizations.
Divine Weapon Camp was originally one grade lower than the Imperial Household Department. Under the Divine Weapon Camp, there were two other factories, the east and west, which were at most at the fifth rank. However, if it was the East or West factory of Imperial Household Department, then since Imperial Household Department was itself a third grade, East or West factory was at least a fourth grade.
A fourth rank organization could take anyone they wanted in the capital.
This also meant that once Imperial Household Department's east and west factories were truly established, they would become a direct threat to all the officials and generals of the capital.
But at this moment, the imperial edict was complete. Moreover, the Emperor had clearly asked if there were any opinions or suggestions. Since no one replied to his question, he was able to draw up the imperial edict.
At this moment, Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou clearly felt that they were played around by the Emperor.
Helplessly turning their heads, the two tycoons of the imperial government, who had their power in the imperial court and split up into different groups, suddenly felt that this low profile and calm emperor in front of them was so smart for no reason.
More importantly, the emperor was not only getting smarter, but he was also getting bolder and bolder.
Sighing lightly, Qin Ruhua thought to himself, "Could it be that I'm really old? When faced with the court's current situation, I actually feel powerless."
North of Moss Ridge, less than two miles away, Snowling was steadily leading Oca Seventh Legion.
In the last few days, Snowling hadn't been able to sleep well for a few days. According to his past experience, whenever this kind of situation occurred, something bad would happen.
Snowling firmly believed this.
Therefore, Snowling purposely made the army slow down, and doubled the number of sentries. He also added magic tools to the Rangers who were moving in the front and back in a flash.
Snowling had reason to believe that with such meticulous planning, even if there was an ambush ahead, it wouldn't cause much harm.
Moreover, this was an extremely famous Oca Seventh Legion.
It was common sense for a blind army to want to take the initiative and attack the Seventh Legion.
However, Snowling still felt that there seemed to be something hidden between the hillside and the grass on both sides.
Just as the Spearhead of the Seventh Legion entered the area of Moss Ridge, a long rocket, accompanied by a sharp whistle, shot into the sky.
The moment Snowling saw the Rocket, he immediately understood that this was a signal that Tiangong Empire was used to send messages.
Without much thought, Snowling shouted, "The entire army, stop advancing. Defend on the spot. Shield up. Set up the formation."
Even though the order was given at the first possible moment, it was still too late for most of the soldiers. That was because a rain of arrows had already rained down from the grass on both sides of the mountain.
Snowling stared with wide eyes. On this continent, there was no one who was more familiar with this kind of extremely fast and penetrative bow and arrow than him. It was not an exaggeration to say that Snowling was the first person in this world to experience the powerful killing power of a Pulley Type Steel Crossbow.
The first time a Pulley Type Steel Crossbow appeared on the battlefield of Beilao Pass, the first thing it shot down was Snowling's war horse.
At this moment, seeing the appearance of the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow, Snowling was finally sure that they had snuck into the Tiangong Empire army's trap. Even though he still couldn't understand why the Tiangong Empire's army could penetrate deep into the Oca to fight, Snowling still changed the battle plan at the first moment.
"Prepare your Archery Range, counterattack from where you are, quickly. The infantry soldiers used their shields to form a formation, the cavalry soldiers did not care about the Crossbow Arrow s on both sides, and continued to charge forward. Snowling shouted at the top of his lungs.
Giving out such a combat order showed that Snowling, as the commander of a legion, had a lot of combat experience and the ability to adapt on the spot.0
Before giving the order to fight, Snowling observed the surrounding situation and quickly formulated a battle plan in his mind.
It was very obvious that although there were Pulley Type Steel Crossbow s here, they were currently in a mountainous area. The Tiangong Empire's troops were only using the mountain slopes on both sides as cover, attacking by surprise. In terms of range, it was far inferior to the range of long-range attacks in siege warfare. At such a distance, the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow would not be able to use any of its range advantages. This was because both sides were in the range of the Oca Longbow.
In terms of lethality, although Oca Longbow were not as good as Pulley Type Steel Crossbow, they were not much weaker.
Therefore, Snowling ordered the Archery Range to counterattack on the spot.
At the same time, the infantry formed a shield formation, which could effectively defend against Pulley Type Steel Crossbow s, reducing the casualty rate of soldiers after being shot by arrows.
And the use of cavalry, is Snowling in this crisis.
He ordered the cavalry to ignore the enemies on both sides of the hill, and instead charged straight out of the depression.
Snowling clearly saw that the hills on both sides of the road were gently sloping, making it completely suitable for the cavalry to charge. As long as the cavalry unit rushed out of this depression, and split into two, and outflanked the enemies lying in ambush on the hillside, even if they were hit by the Pulley Type Steel Crossbow, they might lose some cavalry, but after charging at high speed, the cavalry unit would definitely be able to charge into the enemy's camp.
