Chapter 126: The Barbarians Attack.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
“Fang Xue greets General Chu!”
In the tent, Fang Xue bowed and saluted.
He was suddenly summoned. Even now, he did not know what was going on.
Apart from Chu Ding, there were also some unfamiliar faces in the tent.
A chilling aura pervaded the tent, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
Straightening himself, Fang Xue asked the doubts in his heart.
“If I may ask, General Chu, what is the reason for the sudden summon?”
“I heard that the Golden Toad Sect is quite famous for their knowledge in poisons, so there is one thing I want to ask Elder Fang.”
“Please feel free to speak your mind, General!”
“When the Barbarians attack the city, they must set up camp near Jin City. Naturally, a water source is essential for them, so I would like to poison the Qinghe River to deplete the strength of the Barbarians. I wonder if Elder Fang can do it?”
Chu Ding said straight to the point.
Poisoning the river!
Fang Xue was stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to summon him for this purpose.
However, he neither refused nor agreed immediately. Instead, he looked at the table in front and fell into a brief contemplation.
After a few breaths, Fang Xue came back to his senses. Though, his face was sullen.
“This Fang has seen the Qinghe River before. The water is fast flowing and ordinary poisons will be immediately diluted before they can take effect.”
“So even if they do consume the poisoned river water, they’ll only feel uncomfortable at most. It will be difficult to achieve a fatal degree.”
“Further, if we put a lot of poison, it would become too obvious—”
Halfway through, Fang Xue closed his mouth.
It was obvious how difficult it was to poison the river.
Chu Ding said: “If it wasn’t difficult, I wouldn’t have summoned Elder Fang. So, I wonder if there’s another way to do it, using the means of the Golden Toad Sect?”
“This–“
Fang Xue’s face was sullen.
It was only after a while, did he reply in a deep voice.
“There is colorless and odorless poison in the Golden Toad Sect, but this Fang currently does not have such poison at the moment and if it is to be prepared, it will take a certain amount of time.”
“At the same time, it is necessary to find suitable materials.”
“Elder Fang can ask for whatever materials are needed, so as long as the Black Tiger Army can obtain them, there will be no problem.”
“I also hope that General Chu understands that this formula is the secret of the Golden Toad Sect. So I need to complete the collection of materials by myself. There are many pharmacies and medical centers in Jin City, however, I don’t know if the people took everything away after evacuating.”
“If you can, I would like for the General to give me a pass token.”
“So that after I find the right materials, I will be able to acquire them and prepare the poison needed by the General.”
Fang Xue clasped his fists and said.
Hearing this, Chu Ding nodded immediately.
“Yes, I will give you a token that grants you passage anywhere in the city. I hope you can configure what you will need as soon as possible.”
He then took out a small token from his arms and handed it to Fang Xue.
“Thank you General!”
Seizing the token, Fang Xue turned around and left.
Seeing his departing back disappear, a Commander frowned.
“General, will there be any problem with giving him the token? Those people from the Martial Community may not be credible.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Chu Ding’s face was indifferent and was not too worried.
If one was suspicious of someone, then don’t give a task to that person.
Further, speaking of Fang Xue, he wouldn’t be able to make any big waves.
The 12,000 troops of the Black Tiger Army already had complete control of Jin City. One’s every move was under the surveillance of the Black Tiger Army.
The token would at most, make things more convenient.
——
Time flew by and the four City Gates were now all closed.
There were also a large number of Black Tiger Army troops guarding the four walls of the city. Some of the corresponding equipment had been carried up by the people.
There was kerosene.
There were also crossbows.
There were even some tall stones, all of which were for the siege.
Each of the Black Tiger Army soldiers had swords hanging from their waists, and had long bows behind their backs. They were wearing black armor and holding long spears. They calmly looked at the darkness ahead, as if they were silently waiting for something.
The atmosphere was eerily silent.
The only noise sounding was the constant movement of people.
“It’s coming!”
Looking at the darkness outside the city, Zhong Chi sighed softly.
Currently, he still hadn’t shown his true face, but he had changed into his old disguise.
As a Heavenly Inspection Guard, under the premise of gathering intelligence, the most important thing was not to reveal one’s identity.
“Is there any other current news from the Heavenly Inspection Guard?”
""
Nie Xu smiled lightly.
Now that he had arrived at this point, he was much more relaxed.
Let things come.
As for whether he succeeds or fails, he will be ready to sacrifice himself for the city.
Zhong Chi shook his head: “No kind of information can play a big role now. The monsters of the Eternal Life Alliance have become more rampant recently, and they are constantly attacking all over the Great Wilderness Province. Among the three major Demon Suppression Divisions, the Guardians were injured.”
“While the Slayers suffered countless casualties.”
“However, the monsters also suffered heavy casualties, and both sides are considered to be at a loss.”
“Currently, the three major Demon Suppression Divisions are asking help from other branches, so there is no way they have the ability to free up their hands.”
Sure enough!
Nie Xu secretly exclaimed.
He had already guessed that the three major Demon Suppression Divisions were not in a good position. Now that he had heard it, it seemed that the situation was even worse than he had imagined.
Nie Xu sighed and his expression became melancholy.
“Say, where did the demons and monsters come from? Hundreds of years ago, I never heard of such existences. But now, they are appearing everywhere. No matter how much we kill them, they never stop popping out.”
“Over the years, the Great Qin has killed a lot of demons and monsters, but the problem has never been truly solved.”
“With our power, can there really be a day where they are cleared?”
Regarding this question, he was asking not only Zhong Chi, but also to himself.
For more than 300 years, the Great Qin had been killing demons and monsters, but he had never seen their number decrease by even half. Meanwhile, the Great Qin’s strength had weakened considerably.
Despite the constant supply of fresh blood, Nie Xu could feel that the Great Qin’s power was steadily declining.
If it wasn’t, how could the Barbarians invade the Great Wilderness Province?
In the most prosperous period of the Great Qin, not to mention invading, the Barbarians opted to have their people starve to death every winter, rather than stepping into the Great Wilderness Province.
In the past, the Great Qin’s Iron Cavalry pushed across the three thousand li outside the Great Wilderness Province.
Wherever they passed, the Barbarians were wiped out.
This was the real glory of the Great Qin.
But it was different now. Not to mention, three thousand miles outside the Great Wilderness Province, they couldn’t even properly defend the province.
""
In the end, it was because of the weakening strength of the Great Qin.
A large part of the reason for this weakening came from the demons and monsters.
The rate of replenishment of the Great Qin’s fresh blood couldn’t keep up with the rate of the loss.
Zhong Chi’s face turned complicated, as Nie Xu finished speaking. He shook his head and sighed.
“To be honest, I don’t know about the origin of the demons. The only thing we can do now is to do our best to maintain the stability of the Great Qin.”
“As for the rest, you and I are not qualified to intervene.”
“You’re right.”
Nie Xu smiled.
“With the sky falling and tall figures looking at it, when was it our turn to worry about such things? Rather, we should see how we can resist the Barbarians and survive this catastrophe.”
“You reckon, with the speed of the Heavenly Inspection Guard’s intelligence, can it be determined how many days it will take for the news to spread?”
“In two more days, the news should be fully circulated in the Great Wilderness Province, but it will still take 10 days up to half a month before it reaches the Capital in the Central Plains.”
Zhong Chi answered without hesitation.
Nie Xu nodded silently.
“In other words, we have to hold on for at least two days.”
They needed two days so that the Great Wilderness Province would be able to respond to the crisis. Consequently, the Barbarians can no longer attack recklessly.
Two days didn’t seem like a long time, but he wasn’t very confident about their odds.
After all, the garrison in Jin City was too weak. Even the 12,000 elites of the Black Tiger Army would not be able to contend against the 120,000 Barbarians for long.
The difficulty of the upcoming two days was not ordinary by any means.
“Why didn’t Lord Shen come?” Nie Xu suddenly thought, as he hadn’t seen Shen Changqing for a day.
He also noticed that the other party didn’t leave Jin City.
Zhong Chi said: “When Lord Shen went back today, he said that he was going to undergo seclusion. Maybe he’s having a breakthrough in his Martial Arts, so it’s not good if we disturb him.”
“With two armies at war, it is difficult for individual bravery to play a big role.”
“It’s only when you reach the Grandmaster realm would there be a difference.”
Grandmaster Realm.
At this level, one had already realized True Intent
Whether it was the body or True Qi, they were not comparable to other Martial Artists. The existence of True Intent pushes them to the limit.
Only an expert of this level could fight in a siege between ten thousand plus strong armies.
Although a Grandmaster couldn’t completely reverse the situation in the war, the role they played was many levels higher than Cultivators at the level below.
“Lord Shen is already in the Innate Outer Astral Realm. If he makes a breakthrough, wouldn’t he be a Grandmaster!?”
Nie Xu was shocked.
He did not expect that Shen Changqing was in seclusion.
Hearing this, Zhong Chi nodded with a solemn expression.
“If you’re not wrong and if Lord Shen succeeds in breaking through, he will indeed be a Grandmaster. If there is one more Grandmaster assisting Jin City, then resisting the Barbarian army will be much easier.”
“Merba is strong and powerful. We don’t have anyone at the same level, which is troublesome.”
“I can only hope that Lord Shen can break through as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late when the situation becomes irreversible!”
He hoped that Shen Changqing would break through as soon as possible.
However, the leap from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster was not small. Some people would have an epiphany overnight, but some would go on for several months before they can finally reach enlightenment.
To put it simply, it was entirely a matter of the individual’s luck and chance.
At this time, in the dark night outside the city, the roars of tigers and leopards suddenly sounded along with galloping noises.
