C47 (1/2)
After hearing from the survivors, the entire Tiger Roar City was shocked.
In the legends, Qu Feizhi became a three-headed, six-armed, three-meter-tall devil god. His killing of the people from Moqiu was not for anything else, but for his own appetite. Every time he killed a people from Moqiu, Qu Feizhi would knock his head off and eat his brain.
At this moment, someone stood up and retorted, ”Could it be that he didn't kill you because you were too stupid, so he couldn't even be bothered to eat your brain?”
Amidst the roars of laughter, someone repositioned Qu Feizhi's image: This was a beautiful looking man. Although he looked like a boy and a girl, he was ruthless (mainly due to his brain damage). The Fire Phoenix Empire could no longer control him, which was why he was secretly sent to the Moqiu State, telling him to harm a region here. With such a cloud, all sorts of legends about Qu Feizhi continued to circulate. Qu Feizhi's image also constantly shifted from a height of ten meters to a height of ten meters, from a dwarf with a full beard to a charming and seductive woman.
With regards to matters that people had not personally experienced or witnessed, people were often only willing to believe the ”truth” in their hearts. Due to their fear of their formidable opponent, everyone was more willing to imagine him to be a demon god that ordinary humans couldn't match. By strengthening the opponent's image, they could conceal their fear of him.
”It's not that we're useless, it's that our opponents are too strong.” It became an excuse to shirk responsibility. However, for Moqiu State, other than causing His Excellency Qu Feizhi's image to change drastically, it also stimulated many people's thoughts of fighting against the Quake Demon God to the death.
The clan leaders were all called Tiger King, and among the Tiger King, they once again decided on the existence of Beast God, becoming the supreme ruler and spokesperson of the gods. As for the other Tiger King that had lost, they would have to arrange themselves for the rankings and call themselves Second Tiger King, Third Tiger King, and Fourth Tiger King, to show their own strength or determination to become stronger. Under the influence of this tradition, people of the Moqiu State actually lacked the necessary respect and fear for this so-called god. Their attitude towards the god was simply outrageous: To defeat you, I am a god. To be defeated by you, you are my god.
Under this kind of traditional encouragement, other than the reinforcements that the other cities sent to Tiger Roar City, the ”guerrillas”, ”death squads”, and ”death battalions” all formed one after another and headed towards the Tiger Roar City, forming a blockade together with the regular army. And out of them, the one who received the most attention was none other than the reinforcements sent by the three Tiger King s that remained in the Moqiu State.
Including the so called ”Beast God Clan”, there were a total of ten Second Tiger King s within the Moqiu State. They were originally the leaders of the tribes, but now they were known as the Tiger King. They all had their own territories, which were roughly equivalent to the position of the vassal lords. This time, the Phoenix City Pass expedition was led by the Beast God, bringing the other eight Great Tiger King s to join together to attack. Meanwhile, four, nine, and thirteen Tiger King stayed behind to guard the country. Their main forces were still kept in the country. But now that the three Tiger King s had sent out their troops, it showed that their attitude towards the phoenix army had changed. At least, they no longer thought of the other party as a ”random soldier” and treated them as regular soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Empire.
The three Tiger King s each sent out five thousand men, and the number of soldiers in each army was already several times more than the rumored ”Fire Phoenix Chaos Soldiers”. In addition to the traditional comparison of strength between the two countries, it could be said that under the joint attack of the three forces, this ”Fire Phoenix Chaos Soldiers” would be smashed into smithereens!
Under such circumstances, the goal of forming a group of 10 to 1000 people to annihilate the 'Fire Phoenix Chaos Soldiers' was not just to exterminate and challenge the gods for the country. It was also mixed with the organizers' intentions to show their faces and gain the attention of the three Tiger King s.
In short, no matter what their motive was, the southern region of Moqiu State was in chaos. Dozens or even hundreds of soldiers of different sizes started to rush towards the Tiger Roar City from all over the place, as if they were iron scraps that had been sucked up by powerful magnets. They wanted to release their Tiger Roar City and defeat Qu Feizhi!
However, they did not know that the Demon God Qu Feizhi whose image was full of changes had already solved this problem for them. On the third night of the Night Assault Tiger Roar City, he had already left the place.
Qu Feizhi had never thought of defending a city. After all, he was not a madman, and the crazy thought of using a few hundred people to defend a city had never occurred to him before. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he led his team and ambushed Tiger Roar City and killed all of the city guards Shi Jie and the city guards that were loyal to him. Counting them all, the total number of casualties in Tiger Roar City was not over three hundred. Although this number was not considered much for a city, taking into account that the main force of the city had all been transferred to the Phoenix City Pass, the proportion of officers and veterans of these three hundred people was extremely high.
At night, the residents were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves and screams. They panicked, unable to tell how many enemies had entered the city. The first thing the soldiers, who had hardly had a day of formal training, did not take up arms against the enemy, but instead ran home to see if their wives and children were all right, and then decided what action they should take, depending on their circumstances and attitudes.
Especially after the officers had been killed as their first target, this chaos had reached its peak.
Relying on torches and handheld crossbow, a ten-man team under Qu Feizhi's command forcefully hollowed out more than five hundred soldiers within the two camps. The officer who stood up and started scolding was pierced through by four or five bolt s. The veteran who turned around to observe the enemy's situation had his head chopped off. Under these circumstances, who would dare to stop? Who would dare to turn back? Who would dare to resist?
A huge Tiger Roar City had turned into an empty city overnight. Only the row of lonely human heads in front of the Castellan Mansion s were still paying attention to this city, which had been lively and lively last night, as it drank wine to build up its courage.
Qu Feizhi did not stop any of the citizens from escaping. He had two very important things to do. First, to rob food. The expeditionary force was in a deep and isolated state. They had eaten all the military rations that they had on them. They did not know what they were going to eat tomorrow. As long as they did not have any food, they would be flustered. Thus, wherever the expeditionary force went, they would be the first to snatch food.
Second, to steal someone. The Expeditionary Force had too few people. They only dared to attack the village and even the larger towns did not dare to touch them. However, facing a group of farmers with their faces turned to the sky, what could they do no matter how vicious they were?
As a soldier, Qu Feizhi did not reject the idea of killing people. To put it in a disrespectful tone, the red silk ribbon on top of the heads, the red silk ribbon on the armor and the red cloak on the back of the soldiers of Fire Phoenix Empire, which one of them was not dyed red with blood? To be able to accomplish this job as Qu Feizhi at such a young age, there were at least eighty odd lives in his hands even if he did not kill a hundred. However, he was absolutely opposed to indiscriminate killing. Killing was just a method to make the other party submit. It was definitely not a method of choice. Other than killing them, there were more people. This was definitely the most direct method to force the other party to submit.
Based on this creed, Qu Feizhi decided to expand his team. However, the difficulties in front of him made him a little uncomfortable. Although Qu Feizhi thought that he was eloquent, his mouth was still a little dry when faced with the hundreds of Moqiu Army people trapped in the camp, and he did not know how to persuade them. What should he do now that all the residents of the city had fled, not even a bit of threat was left?
In the afternoon of the second day, Chen Chu who was rushing over gave an effective method: To be killed, or to be killed.
