Chapter 659
659 Emperor lang returns! Jiang Li’s Army is destroyed!
Shen lang had spent countless years in the high-level Dragon enlightenment, but how much time had passed in the real world? it was less than a month!
But even so, the countdown for the desert capital was about to end. Rescue at the last minute was often shown in movies, but this kind of thing often couldn’t happen.
After Shen lang left, the Jiangli Empire’s Super Air Fortress continued to bombard the desert capital without stopping.
Every once in a while, the sky above the desert capital would show signs of the end of the world.
However, the desert capital’s hundreds of thousands of people were much stronger than they had imagined. Other than the initial panic, they quickly fell into a calm state and did what they were supposed to do. They just moved all their activities from outdoors to indoors, as if nothing had changed.
As for Princess Shen Yue, she really brought thousands of people to carry out a large-scale production of sunglasses. They had already produced a lot of them and equipped them with the patrolling Army.
The Countdown to Destruction continued.
300 hours.
Two hundred hours.
A hundred hours.
Three hours, one hour!
There was only one hour left, only 59 minutes.
Shen lang still had not returned.
It was nine O ‘clock in the morning.
The desert capital was still the same as before. The children went to school, the Warriors trained, the Army patrolled, the officials went to court to discuss matters, and the vast majority of the people were still engaged in production work.
Of course, agriculture was completely abandoned because no matter how strong the crops were, they couldn’t withstand the light from Dragon’s Regret’s explosion. Even though there was an energy barrier, these ancient and ancient crops all died.
In the great Qian Palace, the court session continued. They were discussing a very important issue, whether they should continue to send messengers to the secret territory of the fire god sect.
After Shen lang left, the person with the highest authority in the control center of the mo capital became Princess Ning Han.
Of course, her authority was very, very low. She only had the authority to detect and receive information. She could not use any of the giant weapons.
About ten days ago, Princess Ninghan received a message from the fire god sect.
The content of the message was to ask the great desert, The Lost Empire, or any other forces that were loyal to His Majesty Shen lang to send a signal to the secret base of the fire god sect.
Of course, Princess Ninghan did not have the authority to send out any messages.
The signal from the secret base of the fire god sect had been sent hundreds of times, and it was completely repeated.
Nobody in this world would reply to them. Therefore, they even sent out a set of coordinates and asked any forces that were loyal to Shen lang to send an envoy. They would send someone to receive them and discuss important matters.
The coordinates were located 19000 miles away from the Western sea region of the great desert.
The officials of the desert capital had been arguing over this matter. They didn’t know if they should send an envoy or if this was just a conspiracy of the Jiangli Empire. After all, the mirror had once been taken away by the fire god sect, but he had miraculously appeared in the great desert.
The final decision of the desert capital’s imperial court was to send envoys, and three waves of them. The earliest wave had already set off nine days ago.
This sounds ridiculous. The desert capital is about to be finished, yet you still want to send an envoy to negotiate with the fire god sect?
Wasn’t this the equivalent of a dynasty being destroyed, but still sending an envoy to participate in some country’s Foreign Affairs?
But at this moment, the desert capital was most insistent on this sense of ceremony, the sense of an Empire’s ceremony.
Even if this Empire was about to be destroyed, it had to be solemn and sacred until the last moment, not a plate of loose sand, and even more so, a farce like birds and beasts scattering could not be allowed to happen.
The mirror still perfectly became Shen Lang’s substitute and did everything he was supposed to do to maintain the morale of the people in the desert capital.
“Dang, dang, dang, dang!” The bell rang nine times.
Vice Prime Minister Zhu Rong picked up his pocket watch and glanced at it. The few important officials present also picked up their pocket watches and glanced at it.
There was still an hour left before the countdown and the destruction of the desert capital’s energy shield.
“It’s almost time, let’s end the discussion here today!” “Everyone, go and make your preparations. We must be prepared for both the best and the worst!”
Then, all of the officials in the desert capital’s court bowed and retreated.
These officials quietly returned home, took off their official robes, and silently put on their ancient armors. They took out all kinds of weapons.
Their wives, sons, and daughters also put on all kinds of armor and picked up all kinds of weapons.
It wasn’t just the officials. All the soldiers and Warriors in the desert capital checked their armor and weapons before leaving the camp.
Everyone, even if they knew a little bit of martial arts, even if they knew how to use any weapon, were all armed.
In the past month, all the doors and windows in the desert capital had been tightly shut.
A few minutes after the bell rang, all the doors opened and people walked out one by one.
Warriors, officials, scholars, and craftsmen were all fully armed and gathered on the streets.
Everyone was a soldier. In the end, a total of 200000 people were assembled.
Although mirror was only a substitute, he was still wearing golden armor and riding a flying beast.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Tens of thousands of flying beasts rose into the air, and tens of thousands of sky-Sea Pavilion Special Forces soldiers lined up in the air.
“Advance!”
“Advance!”
“Protect the desert capital, protect the DA Qian Empire!”
With an order, the 200000 people marched towards the North of the desert capital in formation.
The Army of the Jiangli Empire would come from the north to the south!
All the adults in the desert capital had to participate in the defense war.
The best preparation would be for Shen lang to return and save the desert capital.
However, they had to be prepared for the worst. That was, Emperor Shen lang might not be able to return in time. However, these hundreds of thousands of people must not lose the prestige of the great Qian Empire. The sense of ceremony had to be maintained until the end.
....................................
At the same time!
To the North of the desert capital, dozens of huge air fortresses of the Jiangli Empire were moving south! He was getting closer and closer to the desert capital.
As if a huge hole had been pierced through the sky, more and more Super Air fortresses of the Jiangli Empire appeared. More and more air legions appeared, covering the sky and the sun.
Three hundred li away from the desert capital.
Two hundred li.
A hundred li!
Thirty li!
Of course, this was only the geographical distance. At this time, the desert capital was still under the protection of the energy shield. Hence, it was still hidden and completely undiscovered.
However, once the countdown ended, the energy shield would be completely destroyed. At that time, the entire desert capital would be exposed to the entire Army of the Jiangli Empire.
“The Army disembarks!”
At the command of the commander of the Jiangli Empire’s Army, countless giant air fortresses slowly landed and opened their gates. Countless ancient puppet Warriors walked out.
These were all ancient humans who had once turned into fossils. They had not escaped the ancient great Nirvana, even if they had turned into fossils.
However, after Jiang Li returned, he used his high-level energy perception to revive them all. However, there was still no soul. Even his body had changed. It was now a body of energy.
How many of these ancient puppet Warriors were there? An astronomical figure!
There were hundreds of thousands of them in the ancient Plaza ruins alone, and this was only one of them.
After the drastic changes in the North Pole, countless cracks appeared on the ground, and countless ancient human fossils were revived and drilled out of the ground. It was like countless ghosts had returned to the human world from hell. The darkness was like a tide, forming an ocean.
There were countless places like the ancient Plaza in the underground of the eastern world. Therefore, Jiang Li was the only one who knew how many puppet Warriors there were.
But at least for now, there were 300000 people attacking the desert capital.
3,000 ancient new human beings and 300000 ancient puppet Warriors came out of the giant floating fortress.
They were neatly arranged on the vast desert, stretching out for dozens of miles without end.
They waited quietly. As long as the energy shield of the desert capital was broken, they could easily charge in and destroy and occupy the last surviving land of the human countries.
Of course, it didn’t have to be so troublesome. He could just use Dragon’s regret to wipe out the entire place.
boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom! another wave of Dragon’s regret was launched, hitting the energy shield of the desert capital and causing an earth-shaking explosion.
Once again, the light that flickered was countless times brighter than the sun.
In the desert capital, 200000 people closed their eyes and continued to march forward in an orderly manner.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the edge of the city to the North of the desert capital.
“Get into formation!”
“Get into formation!”
These 200,000 people were arranged in formation. Then, he quietly waited for the countdown to end.
Ten minutes, five minutes, three minutes!
Ten seconds, five seconds, three, two, one!
The countdown ended! Shen lang still had not returned.
Without any surprises, the entire energy control Center of the desert capital had exhausted its last bit of energy.
The huge energy shield disappeared in an instant. The entire desert capital’s defense system had failed.
All the hidden spaces were rendered ineffective!
The desert capital city of the great Qian Empire, the ninth city-state of the ancient empire, was instantly exposed to Jiang Li’s Army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Both sides were slightly shocked. They had been separated by the energy cloak and hidden in space, so they had not been able to see anything.
He didn’t expect the two armies to be so close to each other, less than ten miles apart.
And at this moment!
The last batch of Dragon’s regrets flew out from the dozens of giant sky fortresses toward the desert capital.
The distance between them was very close. It was less than 100 miles. For Dragon’s regret of the Jiangli Empire, it wouldn’t even take ten seconds. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
These hell crystal Dragon’s regrets were like a meteor shower, instantly flying over the desert capital.
This time, there was no energy shield to block it. If it exploded, the entire desert capital would be turned into ashes.
However, just as they were about a thousand meters away from the mo capital ... These Dragon’s regrets froze in the air and then turned around, flying back to the sky Fortress of the Jiangli Empire.
Was this a miracle performed by Shen lang?
No, that’s not it! This was because the Jiangli Empire had decided not to use Dragon’s regret to destroy the desert capital.
Then, the commander of the Jiangli Empire’s Army walked down and lifted his mask, revealing his face. He was a pure member of the ancient Jiang royal family.
“My name is Jiang Xian, the Duke of the Empire! He is the third son of the last king of the ancient Jiang family. However, I chose to be loyal to His Majesty Jiang Xie.”
The last king of the ancient Jiang family? He was the person who was kneeling in the temple of the ancient ruins on the Vajra peak. Shen Lang’s ancient king’s ring was obtained from him.
If Shen lang was here, he would realize that Jiang Xian did look like the last king.
“Which one of you is Zuo Ci?” Jiang Xian, the commander of the Jiangli Empire’s Army, asked.
“I am!” Zuo Ci stepped out of the ranks.
Jiang Xian said,”His Majesty has decreed that although your plan did not succeed, you still fulfilled your duty and agreed to become the Empire’s impersonator to infiltrate the desert capital. You have also truly carried out the plan to destroy the desert capital.” Therefore, His Majesty will fulfill his promise to you. In the future, there will be 1000 people on the spaceship for you. In other words, 1000 people from the sky-Sea Pavilion will survive. Now, you can make your choice. One thousand people, and the rest will be executed.”
That was why the Jiangli Empire had stopped firing Dragon’s regret at the last moment. Jiang Li had promised Zuo Ci, so he had to keep his promise, even though Zuo CI’s plan had failed.
Everyone looked at Zuo Ci in disbelief. What? The Prime Minister is an imposter of the Jiangli Empire? How dare he betray the great Qian Empire?
How was this possible? This must be the enemy’s scheme and rumor.
“The Dark Emperor Jiang gave us a list of 1000 survivors,” Zuo Ci said loudly. Whoever wants to survive can walk to the enemy’s formation.”
As soon as he said this, hundreds of thousands of people from the desert capital looked at Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci took off his mask and revealed a terrifying face. It was completely disfigured, with only two holes for his eyes. The rest of his facial features were gone.
“Now that things have come to this, I’m a sinner without any explanation.” but I won’t give you the name list, ” Zuo Ci said. whoever wants to live or surrender to the Jiangli Empire, go now.
The hundreds of thousands of people were extremely angry and sad, but no one moved.
Zuo Ci continued, ” also, I want to tell everyone something. The Emperor Shen lang in front of you is not the real Emperor Shen lang. He is his famous substitute, the mirror!
The hundreds of thousands of people in the desert capital were shocked by his words.
However, the hundreds of thousands of ancient puppet Warriors from the Jiangli Empire had no reaction at all. The 3,000 ancient new human beings had mocking looks in their eyes, as if they were watching a farce.
After the flying beast mirror heard Zuo CI’s words, it slowly took off the crown and said to the hundreds of thousands of people in the desert capital, that’s right, I’m a substitute mirror. I’m not the real Emperor Shen lang.
As soon as he said this, the hundreds of thousands of people were even more shocked. Their boundless anger seemed to want to explode their entire bodies.
The feeling of betrayal and endless humiliation welled up in his heart.
Was this Lao Ai the great Qian Empire that they were so loyal to? Was this the Emperor Shen lang that they were loyal to?
Not only did Zuo Ci lie to them, but even Emperor Shen lang lied to them? What was the point of their loyalty then? Isn’t that too shameful?
The morale of the desert capital’s hundreds of thousands of people was on the verge of collapse.
Pavilion master Zuo Ci continued,”then, where did His Majesty Shen lang go?” I don’t know. He left a month ago. Did he escape? No, no, no!”
Pavilion master Zuo Ci suddenly raised his voice and said in a hoarse voice, ” “The desert capital has entered a Countdown to Destruction. Thus, Emperor Shen lang went down to find a way to save them. He definitely didn’t run away, he definitely wouldn’t abandon the desert capital, he definitely wouldn’t abandon you hundreds of thousands of people.”
in that case, can Emperor Shen lang create a miracle? can he reverse the situation and save the desert capital and all of you? ”
“I don’t know, I really don’t know!”
“But I only want to know one thing. Is your loyalty to the great Qian Empire real or fake? Is your loyalty to you real or fake?”
“Do you all choose to be loyal to His Majesty Shen lang just because he can protect you? Are you only loyal to him because he can create miracles?”
If one day, Emperor Shen lang can’t create a miracle anymore, are you guys not going to be loyal to him? ”
“All of us have to think carefully about what exactly we are loyal to. Was it Emperor Shen lang? No, no, no, it’s our own faith!”
“Everyone knows what the Jiangli Empire is like now. I’ve told them countless times that it’s like a dark hell. Countless humans were like pigs and dogs, living like slaves. The Dark Emperor Jiang Li is devouring the power of this planet like crazy. He’s going to sacrifice everyone. The hundreds of millions of humans he’s rearing are just his source of energy. They’re like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered ...”
“Why are we gathered in the desert capital? why are we gathered under Emperor Shen Lang’s flag? It’s because we share the same dream as him, which is to defeat the Jiangli Empire, save countless human beings, and let them live a dignified life, even if it’s only for a few years, even if it’s only for a few days, instead of being enslaved like pigs and dogs.”
“His Majesty Shen lang is doing his best and giving everything he has in order to rush back before the end of the countdown. He is extremely eager to save the desert capital. But if Yingluo can’t create this miracle, you’ll betray him. Will you be disloyal? Your loyalty is too cheap.”
I just want to ask, is Emperor Shen Lang’s determination and will to save you all real or fake? ”
“Are you all still independent souls? are you unable to fight after leaving His Majesty? Think carefully, what are you fighting for? Are you fighting for your own beliefs or for Emperor Shen lang alone? Does this great Qian Empire belong to His Majesty alone?”
After Zuo Ci shouted these words, the hundreds of thousands of Mojing citizens calmed down. Their originally angry and frightened faces became serious once again.
“Of course,” Zuo Ci continued in a hoarse voice,”I don’t want to hide my opinion. I still think highly of Jiang Li when it comes to saving the world because he has no weakness. He’s cold and heartless. He can sacrifice tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of lives without blinking. However, His Majesty Shen lang can’t do that. He can’t even bear to harm tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives. He has done countless naive things.”
“Therefore, I still don’t think that Emperor Shen lang can defeat Jiang Li. In order to save the sky-Sea Pavilion and the people closest to me, I sold my soul and became Jiang Li’s fake.”
those who stand behind me, regardless of whether you are from the sky-Sea Pavilion or not, you can put down your weapons and surrender. You can stand on Jiang Li’s side because he promised me that he would let 1000 people survive. I won’t name anyone, nor will I make a list. I’ll make my own choice. If you want to live, run over there yourself.”
“I have to tell you that if His Majesty Shen lang didn’t perform a miracle, it would be impossible for us to win with just 200000 people. The Jiangli Empire has 300000 soldiers, but every one of them is an ancient puppet warrior. There are also 3000 ancient Homo Evolutis. Their power is beyond imagination. Even someone as powerful as general Zhu hongxue can’t defeat an ordinary ancient Homo Evolutis because they have the hell crystal, the most advanced body of energy.”
“So, if a miracle doesn’t happen, our 200000 people will be completely annihilated in a minute at most. Therefore, those who wanted to live should run to Jiang Li’s Army. Although The Dark Emperor was cold and heartless, he still kept his word. He said he would let a thousand people live, and he will definitely let you live. Don’t ever feel any moral or psychological pressure. In order to survive, anything you do is excusable.”
Zuo Ci looked at the hundreds of thousands of people.
Still, no one stepped out. No one surrendered and ran to the camp of the Jiangli Empire.
“Of course, I, Zuo Ci, will fight to the end. Even if I have to die in an instant, I will fight for the great Qian Empire to the last moment. Don’t you want to surrender? No one wants to live?”
The hundreds of thousands of people in the desert capital remained motionless.
I’ll start the countdown, ” Zuo Ci said. once the countdown ends, it’ll be too late for anyone to surrender or run to the Jiangli Empire’s camp. They’ll be regarded as traitors.
“Ten, nine, eight, three, two, one!”
The countdown ended!
The 200,000 people from the desert capital camp remained motionless. No one surrendered, and no one wanted to live.
“I’m heartbroken that you’ve made this choice,” Pavilion master Zuo Ci sighed.”My sky-Sea Pavilion might be completely destroyed. Ning Han, who I see as my daughter, and Zhu hongxue, who I see as my son, will also be crushed. However, I, Qianqian, am also very proud of you, because at the last moment, you still used your lives to prove your loyalty and faith!”
“Since no one wants to surrender, no one wants to live, then let’s fight!”
Pavilion master Zuo Ci suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted at the Army of the Jiangli Empire in the North, ” “Charge, kill! Protect the desert capital, protect the DA Qian Empire!”
At his command, hundreds of thousands of Mojing soldiers charged towards the 300000 strong Army of the Jiangli Empire like a tide.
Once again, it was like a moth flying into the fire, and once again, it was a suicide attack.
“Protect the desert capital and surround the DA Qian Empire!” The 200,000 Mojing people shouted as they charged forward.
Even though these 200000 soldiers were not enough for one shot from the Army of the Jiangli Empire.
Jiang Xian, the commander of the Jiangli Empire’s Army, looked at this scene and said lightly, ” how touching. However, there’s no point in being arrogant. An ant’s courage is still an ant.
Then, he slowly raised his hand.
The 300,000-strong ancient puppet army immediately raised their weapons.
Hundreds of giant floating fortresses and all the small dragon powers were aimed at the 200000 people in the desert capital.
With just one volley, they would be able to wipe out the hundreds of thousands of people in the desert capital, not a single one left!
Shen Lang’s great Qian Empire was like a child’s play. It should be over!
“Attack!” Jiang Xian waved his hand down.
At his order, Jiang Li’s Army opened fire.
It was an energy that could destroy the world.
An astronomical number of energy weapons and countless small dragon powers.
Thousands of new weapons were woven into a net of death, raining down on the 200000 charging desert capital players.
It would only take a few seconds.
In a few seconds at most, he would be able to annihilate this group of human ants from the desert capital.
Then, he could go back and continue Emperor Jiang Li’s great cause.
The desert capital’s hundreds of thousands of people were about to be wiped out.
However,
The destructive attacks of the Jiangli Empire’s Army, the energy light that filled the sky, and the countless energy cannons that were like a net from hell.
He instantly disappeared without a trace.
He didn’t die, he just disappeared.
The nightmare stone bullets, mini Dragon’s regret, dark energy cannon, hell crystal cannon, and all the other attacks were instantly destroyed.
Then, a figure slowly descended from the sky!
This person was, of course, Shen lang! The Emperor of the great Qian Empire, Shen lang, who had completed the advanced Dragon enlightenment.
When the substitute mirror saw Shen lang, he immediately put on his mask and hid in the crowd.
This was because he had to disappear from everyone’s sight the moment Shen lang appeared.
After Shen lang landed, he slowly walked toward the Army of the Jiangli Empire alone.
He walked towards the 300000 strong Army alone.
“Attack, attack!”
With commander Jiang Xian’s order, the countless weapons of the Jiangli Empire, including the hell crystal Dragon’s regret, were all fired at Shen lang.
The sky was filled with meteors, shooting down like a rainstorm.
However, just as they flew into the air, they were once again reduced to ashes.
Then, he flashed!
Shen lang appeared in front of the 300000-strong Army of the Jiangli Empire and the Commander-in-Chief Jiang Xian.
“You are the commander of these 300000 soldiers. You look very familiar.” Shen lang smiled.
“I am Jiang Xian, Duke of the great Jiang Empire.”
“I know, I know.” Shen lang nodded.
Then, he looked at the three hundred thousand puppet Warriors. This group of people had already turned into fossils, but in the end, they were resurrected again, like The Walking Dead.
Shen lang said to Jiang Xian, ” Emperor Jiang Li is very powerful. He has control over half of the world’s power. However, Yingluo, this is my home ground. This place is too far away from the North Pole. The hell probes haven’t even reached here, and the hell crystals haven’t spread here yet. And you can’t wait to come here with an Army of 300000 to destroy my great Qian Empire? You’re looking down on me too much, do you think I don’t exist?”
Shen lang patted Jiang Xian’s face.
“Since you’re here, then don’t leave. Stay here forever!” Shen lang smiled. Then, his eyes emitted a strange and powerful light.
The gaze of God.
Not only was he watching, but he was also controlling the huge heaven-gazing totem of the desert capital to watch.
The two eyes of the Wangtian totem with a human face and a snake body shot out extremely bright rays of light.
Wherever Shen lang looked, the 300000 ancient puppet Warriors of the Jiangli Empire turned into fossils again.
3,000 ancient new human beings were also turned into fossils!
Then, Shen lang clapped his hands.
The fossils of 300000 ancient puppet Warriors were instantly reduced to ashes.
The Jiangli Empire’s Army that went south to the desert capital was completely annihilated.
