Chapter 627 The war is about to begin
"Ah? In that case, it's Shui who is rude again!" Deputy Commander Shui felt embarrassed when he heard that and apologized to Lu Yuan again.
"Oh, forget it, it's better to talk it out. Now that we are about to go to war, I hope that you and I can work together to fight against the rice borer disaster." Lu Yuan waved his hand and spoke loudly to everyone.
Deputy Water Commander and the others naturally agreed. Lu Yuan had no interest in saying anything more to Deputy Water Commander. He signaled everyone to do what they were supposed to do, and he returned to the quiet room to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Although there is a possible hidden danger in the form of Deputy Commander Shui, Lu Yuan still knows very little about the details of Shiyin City and the Demon Flame Army. No matter how much he thinks about it, it is difficult to figure out the trick.
In this case, it is better to improve your condition to the best so that you can better deal with unknown dangers.
At the same time, in another secret room, Deputy Commander Shui and three other commanders, including Wen Qizi, were sitting together and talking in low voices.
As the conversation deepened, the expressions on Wen Qizi and the other two's faces were sometimes shocked, sometimes hesitant, but by the end of the conversation, the eyes of the four people, including Deputy Commander Shui, became sinister.
"Let's see what decision he makes. If he really doesn't know how to handle current affairs, you can't blame us for being ruthless." Chihuo whispered with gritted teeth.
"Haha, isn't this a very normal thing in the Land of First Seal? How can you say that Brother Chi is so cruel and ruthless?" Madam Menghua said with a smile.
"No matter what, we can't let our guard down. After all, this person's cultivation is almost as high as that of the Demon Lord. Even with Commander Shui's Magic Mirror, it's hard to guarantee that we can take him down in one fell swoop." Wen Qizi reminded everyone with a serious face.
"Of course, so once you decide to take action, I hope you won't hold back. Let's think about how to give Commander Lu a surprise." Deputy Commander Shui glanced at everyone fiercely. Several people looked at each other and nodded. A gloomy atmosphere filled the secret room.
......
Two days later, when Wen Qizi knocked on the stone door of the quiet room again, Lu Yuan's magic power and energy had stabilized at their best.
"Commander-in-Chief, the time has come."
"Ah."
Lu Yuan nodded lightly and then came to the hall. At this time, only Deputy Commander Shui and two other commanders were waiting in the hall.
"Commander Lu, the entire Demon Flame Army has assembled outside the city and can set off at any time." Deputy Commander Shui said politely when they met.
"Thank you for your concern, Deputy Commander Shui." Lu Yuan also responded with a smile, as if he had never had any unpleasantness with him.
......
In ancient times, after successfully sealing the Mother of Stem Borers, in order to ensure the stability of the seal, the saints of the Demon Realm at that time built five cities around it according to the power of the Five Elements: Dui Metal, Zhen Wood, Kan Water, Li Fire, and Qian Earth.
However, the borer disaster that occurred several years ago recurred, causing all five cities to be conquered by borers, and the City of the First Seal lost its connection with the ancient seal.
Fortunately, the Demon Realm, under the leadership of the two Saint Ancestors, subsequently recaptured four towns besides Lihuo City. Now, they only needed to recapture Lihuo City and defeat the main force of the borer entrenched there to regain control of the outer perimeter of the Ancient Seal.
However, after gathering the scattered borers from the other four cities, Lihuo City's population had reached an alarming level. A vast expanse of gray, dark clouds enveloped the entire area within a thousand-mile radius centered on Lihuo City.
This gray cloud is naturally composed of countless strange-looking insects.
On this day, in the other direction opposite to the insect cloud, a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the horizon. It was low at first, but then the sound became louder and louder.
Suddenly, a black dot appeared at the end of the sky, then two black dots, then three...
In the blink of an eye, countless black spots emerged densely, like another wave of insects covering the sky.
These black spots numbered in the tens of thousands, moving quickly but without haste, as if they were well-trained. In a short while, they came to a stop dozens of miles away from the dark clouds.
After a while, the sound in the sky changed. In addition to the buzzing sound, the rumbling sound of thunder was heard again, and then a huge monster like a mountain appeared in the sky.
This creature is at least two or three thousand feet tall, pitch black all over, and shaped like a cone-like honeycomb.
Surrounding it were teams of winged demons wearing armor and holding giant blades, forming an unusually neat formation around the giant and flying forward.
At the top of the platform was a huge square platform, in the middle of which stood a pitch-black banner embroidered with several balls of flames, each as red as blood, with a faint, translucent blood-red glow flowing across it.
Under the banners, balls of demonic energy rolled around, and dozens of high-ranking generals wearing flaming armor stood respectfully in several rows.
In front of them, the Deputy Water Commander and the three commanders sat cross-legged on both sides.
Further up, Lu Yuan slowly stood up from an extremely exquisite jade bed and looked into the distance at the gray clouds opposite.
I saw strange insects rolling around in the gray cloud. They were so dense and numerous that I couldn't tell how many there were.
The smallest of them was about the size of a fist, while the largest was as big as an adult. Some were covered in barbs, while others had a mouth full of fangs. Each one was extremely ferocious, very different from ordinary demon insects.
Seeing all this, Lu Yuan's expression finally changed slightly. He suddenly turned to the Deputy Commander and asked:
"Brother Shui, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Hehe, Shui will follow the commander-in-chief's arrangements in everything. As for suggestions, let Commander Wen and his entourage speak." Deputy Commander Shui smiled and threw the question to the three commanders.
"Commander-in-chief, although we are still dozens of miles away from the sea of insects, once the war starts, we will be overwhelmed by the sea of insects in an instant. I suggest setting up the formation here to attract the sea of insects to attack." Wen Qizi suggested to Lu Yuan after looking at Chihuo and Madam Menghua.
"Well, let's start." Lu Yuan nodded and sat back on the jade bed.
After receiving the order, Wen Qizi and the other two acted quickly and began to skillfully assign tasks to the dozens of high-level gods, and then immediately dispersed and flew to various places.
Soon, the nearly one million soldiers of the Demon Flame Army began to move in an orderly manner. In less than half an hour, they formed three layers from the inside out, surrounding the huge warship where Lu Yuan was.
As the light of the outermost magic circle gradually grew, a layer of light golden curtain covering the sky emerged first, firmly protecting the entire army; then countless pink flowers flew out from the innermost guards, slowly overflowing from the golden curtain, forming a thin pink mist outside.
The guards in the middle layer each held a triangular magic flag with strange runes painted on it, which fluttered in the wind.
