Chapter 136 Tension

After Chen Chengwu finished reporting, Ye Laixiang, Gulang and Lianhua also briefly explained the situation of the three counties where they were located.

Due to the large-scale increase in the army by the court, and some scum in the government used the excuse of arresting believers of the Immortal God Cult to plunder the people's wealth and ointment, Linhai County, Sanshan County and Xihuang County are now in a panic, and everyone is in danger.

Gulang and Lianhua were just a casual move that Dong Changsheng had made before and did not explain their specific tasks, so they spent the past ten years as usual.

But Ye Laixiang was not so comfortable. Because he was preaching in Linhai County, he was surrounded by people in the government several times. Fortunately, he had extremely exquisite human skin mask making skills, otherwise he would have died in Linhai County.

After hearing their report, Dong Changsheng lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, the entire main hall became aware of needles, and the people below subconsciously slowed down their breathing, fearing that they would disturb Dong Changsheng.

After about a stick of incense, Dong Changsheng raised his head, and his dark red eyes looked extremely bright at this time.

He ordered Skeleton One, Skeleton Two and Skeleton Three: "You have gathered 10,000 white bone skeletons, two thousand skeleton warriors, twenty skeleton warriors, three thousand skeleton knights, and one thousand skeleton archers to form a legion led by Skeleton One, and stationed at the junction of Xihuang County and Nanyang County."

The three skeletons responded at the same time when they heard this: "Yes, master."

Now Skeleton No. 1 has only more than 7,000 white bone skeletons, less than 200 skeleton warriors, and thirteen skeleton warriors, so the remaining skeletons can only be supplemented by Skeleton No. 2 and Skeleton No. 3.

Then Dong Changsheng continued to say to the three skeletons: "In the next two months, you must stop the imperial army outside Nanyang County at any cost. Do you understand?"

The three skeletons nodded quickly and said, "I understand, master."

Then Dong Changsheng said to Wen Feng, Yu Shenghan and Hua Qianlei: "You three each bring ten skeleton mages to assist Skeleton No. 1 and them in defense."

The three of them immediately said yes when they heard this.

Then Dong Changsheng said to the Shadow: "Transfer all your people back to Nanyang County to ensure the smooth implementation of the next plan."

When Shadow heard this, she immediately replied, "Yes, Lord."

Finally, Dong Changsheng turned his gaze to Gulang and Lianhua. With a thought, two palm-sized bone plates appeared in his hand.

After throwing it to them, Dong Changsheng said, "After you return to Sanshan County and Xihuang County, you can secretly develop puppets. I hope that when I advance, you will have some effect. These two jade plates are the array plates of the puppet magic array, so you can do it yourself."

The lonely wolf and Lianhua said in fear and fear when they heard this: "I will never let down the Lord's high expectations."

Dong Changsheng just nodded slightly when he heard this.

After all tasks were allocated, Dong Changsheng stood up and whispered: "I will be in seclusion for two months. When the day I leave the seclusion is the time when Nanyang County changes its weather."

Everyone knelt on one knee when they heard this and lowered their heads deeply.

The reason why Dong Changsheng had to stay in seclusion for two months again was because he estimated that he only needed two months to advance to the first stage of Jade Bone.

By then, his strength will be greatly improved, and he will calmly deal with other emergencies.

Time passed day by day, and except for the increasing depression in the world, Nanyang County had no change. Ordinary people still lived as usual.

Without the suppression of the imperial government, the Eternal God Cult began to spread the name of "King of Immortals", and Dong Changsheng's believers increased significantly.

Compared with Dong Changsheng's plan, the pressure on Lu Mingchuan and others increased sharply.

In Sanshan County, the imperial barracks, and in Lu Mingchuan's tent, six people were sitting around a round table.

It can be seen that Han Shizhong and Song Renjie are here. Except for them, the other three are junior spirit masters.

A few days ago, all the reinforcements sent by the imperial court had reached.

Currently, there are 140,000 soldiers stationed in Linhai County, of which about 20,000 cavalrymen, and the highest commander is still Han Shizhong.

On the other side, there were nearly 150,000 soldiers stationed in Xihuang County, half of which were cavalry, and the highest commander was Song Renjie.

Finally, Sanshan County is here. Lu Mingchuan's troops currently have 220,000 people, including as many as 150,000 cavalrymen, which is very suitable for combat in plain areas such as the Helong Plain.

As for the three spiritual masters, they were representatives selected by the fifty spiritual masters and two hundred high spiritual masters sent by the court to support.

After comprehensive consideration, Lu Mingchuan himself left behind thirty junior spirit masters and one hundred high-level spirit masters, and the remaining people were sent to Linhai County and Xihuang County on average.

Today they gathered together to discuss the recent abnormal actions of Dong Changsheng.

Lu Mingchuan asked, "General Han, General Song, have any other actions happening to your skeletons there recently?"

Han Shizhong said in confusion after hearing this: "After I arrived at the junction of the two counties, I stopped moving forward. I didn't know what was dug underground all day long, and none of the scouts sent to investigate came back alive."

After hearing Han Shizhong's words, Song Renjie quickly said, "My situation here is basically the same as that of General Han, but there are many skeleton knights and skeleton archers in the skeleton legion here."

After hearing their words, Lu Mingchuan said, "My Skeleton Legion has also advanced to the junction of the two counties and stopped moving forward."

When they discovered that the Skeleton Legion was advancing outward as a whole, they immediately ordered the army to prepare for battle.

I originally thought a war was inevitable, but I didn't expect that these skeleton legions suddenly stopped at the border for no reason.

For some time afterwards, the troops of Lu Mingchuan, Han Shizhong and Song Renjie were on high alert.

Due to the orders of the court, they could not take the initiative to attack, and of course they could not retreat, which led to the current strange and tense situation.

The troops on both sides were only ten miles apart, which caused huge psychological pressure to the soldiers of the court.

Several people discussed for a while, but there was no result. Song Renjie suggested: "Since the other party has not taken action for a long time, can we slightly reduce our alertness?"

Before Lu Mingchuan could speak, Han Shizhong directly opposed: "No, this may be the other party's plan to doubt the enemy's military, and we must not reduce our alertness because of this."

Song Renjie said excitedly when he heard this: "Then tell me what should I do? You can't always do this."

Han Shizhong said angrily: "If you want me to tell me, it's better to fight a battle with real swords and guns. I don't know what the court thought, but we just let us defend and not attack."
