Chapter 54: Called God in the World

The bandits were attacking vigorously with the help of the black air, constantly trying to climb up the city wall.

The city wall of this small fortress can't be compared with the real city wall, let alone the level of the state city and the prefectural city, even compared with the county city, it is slightly inferior. In addition to the inferior solidity, it is mainly reflected in the height, which is only about two feet, so the bandits' siege is not as difficult as imagined, and the villagers' defense is not as simple as imagined.

Among these bandits, there is obviously a leader, who is dressed more gorgeously than other bandits, with simple armor, one eye blind, and a black eye mask. He did not lead the troops, but sat in the back and commanded with cold eyes.

Neither the bandits nor the villagers noticed that two figures were quietly approaching the battlefield in the night.

It's also aggrieved to think about it. In the past, things that could be done with a mind, now have to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions when moving forward.

Soon, several brave bandits climbed up to the top of the city wall and barely stood firm. The villagers could not get close to them, and naturally could not drive them down.

The entire defense line was torn open, and more bandits would climb up the city wall from here later.

In this way, the fortress was at risk of being lost.

It's almost time.

Zhou Mengyao shook the cloak on her body, and the cloak fluttered without wind, slowly taking Zhou Mengyao into the air.

Qi Xuansu continued to lurk and approached quietly.

He was not just watching the show, but a second guarantee. If Zhou Mengyao missed, or Zhou Mengyao failed to scare off the bandits with one blow, it would be Qi Xuansu's turn to take action.

When it comes to sneak attacks, Qi Xuansu is a professional.

Zhou Mengyao herself can't shine now, of course, but she prepared a gem in advance. This is a semi-immortal object. It is unknown what it was originally used for. Now its main function is to illuminate her, giving her a round of colorful backlight, which is particularly eye-catching. Of course, doing so would make him a sitting duck, but Zhou Mengyao's cloak could block even musket bullets, so naturally it could block arrows.

When Zhou Mengyao appeared in the sky above the fort in a very high-profile manner, it was as if a god had descended to the world. He quickly attracted the attention of the first person. A person flying in the sky and covered with colorful backlight?

He subconsciously pulled the people around him.

Then, like a chain reaction, more and more people looked up.

Sure enough, a figure was seen hovering in the air, with a colorful backlight behind him.

Soon, both the bandits who were attacking the city and the villagers who were defending the city were stunned, looking up stupidly, and no one dared to continue to take action, for fear of angering the immortal in the sky.

This gave Qi Xuansu an opportunity. Everyone looked at Zhou Mengyao and was shocked by him, and no one paid attention to Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu complained that these people had never seen the world. Although Zhou Mengyao was indeed an immortal, it did not mean that he was an immortal just because he could fly and glow. At the same time, he accelerated his stealth speed.

Zhou Mengyao was very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd, especially when he saw that the bandit leader was also very shocked, so he did not hesitate and chose to take action. Under the cover of the colorful backlight, others did not even see how Zhou Mengyao made his move. They only saw a flash of fire and a sound like thunder.

Then the bandit leader fell off his horse, and a small blood hole appeared at the center of his eyebrows, which was deep and dark.

This was certainly not thunder, but the sound of a gun.

This sound of a gun also awakened the shocked crowd.

The bandits saw their leader fall off his horse and die, and they were in chaos in an instant.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu also lurked nearby, and his figure suddenly rose up, as powerful as thunder.

The two bandits had not reacted yet, and were still immersed in the shock of the boss's sudden death, so they were stabbed to death by Qi Xuansu and followed the boss's footsteps.

The other bandits then discovered Qi Xuansu who was rushing to kill, and they all drew their swords and surrounded Qi Xuansu.

However, after just one encounter, Qi Xuansu snatched away the weapon from someone, and then Qi Xuansu swept his knife across, directly wiping the necks of two people, leaving only a thin red line. A little more would be heavy, a little less would be light, and it was just right to kill two people.

This knife was very powerful, and the other robbers were terrified and dared not move forward.

A character who was probably the second in command shouted loudly, wanting to jump out, intending to lead the way and boost morale.

Qi Xuansu would not give him this opportunity, and he kept his footsteps and rushed forward with the knife.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, as if a cold wind passed by, and then there was a slight sound, half of the blade fell to the ground, and the handle and the other half of the blade were still held in the hands of the person who seemed to be the second in command. He slowly lowered his head and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him moved for no reason.

Suddenly, the man who was suspected to be the second in command slid down from his neck to his ribs, half of his body kept his head down, and blood gushed out from his front and back.

Qi Xuansu had no expression on his face, just shook the blood of "Qingyuan" in his hand.

The other robbers looked at Qi Xuansu again, trembling all over, as if sifting chaff. With a "clang", one of them dropped his weapon to the ground, turned around and ran, and the others followed suit, throwing away their knives and running away.

There were a few more cold lights, and blood suddenly burst out from the backs of several robbers. The corpses jumped forward more than a foot, and just fell down, and soon a pool of blood formed under them.

There were two more robbers who had climbed onto the horse's back and were about to ride away on horseback. Qi Xuansu directly threw the long knife in his hand and instantly strung the two of them like candied haws.

The leaders of a group of robbers died in Qi Xuansu's hands in an instant.

The leader died suddenly, and the other leaders were swept away by Qi Xuansu. The robbers who attacked the city naturally had no intention of fighting. They were defeated and began to flee in all directions. Some robbers even jumped directly from the city wall. Although several robbers were shot to death by villagers with bows and arrows, many robbers still fled into the night and disappeared.

In a blink of an eye, the siege of the fort was lifted.

Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu had no intention of pursuing them, but prepared to welcome the villagers' reception.

The two had a clear division of labor. Zhou Mengyao wanted to be called a god in the world as a prophet, and his main character was a person who didn't speak human words and was unfathomable. So the real operator was Qi Xuansu, who actually mingled with the village's high-level officials as a hero who saved the village. And his act of beheading the robbers was the most powerful proof that when the world is not good, boasting about personal bravery is a very effective means.

As expected by the two, the villagers did not close the door and keep the two out in return for their kindness, but took the initiative to open the door.

If it was just Qi Xuansu showing his personal bravery, perhaps he would repay kindness with enmity, but with Zhou Mengyao's "miracle", it would be completely different, because people cannot fight against enemies beyond their cognition, so when ordinary mortals see the tip of the iceberg of ancient gods or extraterritorial demons, they always end up in fear and disorder, rather than tragic death.

The elders of the village walked out of the fortress amid the cheers of the villagers and walked towards the two people with awe.

Everything is as planned.

This island is not small, almost half a state.

In the deepest part of the island, that is, in the direction of the dark mountain that Qi Xuansu saw from afar, there is a city at the mountain pass, built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In a sense, this city is a bit like a Western castle, and at the same time it has some functions of the Great Wall. The city wall has been built all the way to the ridge. It is a product of war. It can be regarded as a fortress, named "Cangyun Castle".

If Qi Xuansu came here, he would find that there was a lot of black air here, which was exactly the same as the black air attached to those bandits.

Because of this, this Cangyun Castle looked particularly gloomy.

In the middle of Cangyun Castle, there is a governor's mansion, which is the base camp of the bandits.

Strictly speaking, the bandits Qi Xuansu saw were not bandits, but rebels.

It's just that bandits pass by like combs, and soldiers pass by like combs. It's hard to say whether bandits are more terrible or rebels are more terrible.

People living in the governor's mansion are much better than the bandits and rebels outside. At least they are still wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, preserving a little military prestige before they became bandits.

There is a watchtower in the governor's mansion, located at the highest point of the entire Cangyun Castle. If the enemy army is approaching the city, the commander can climb up the watchtower and command the battle while observing the situation outside the city.

A burly man who looked about fifty years old climbed up the watchtower, wearing the military officer's robe of the Da Qi period, and looked out at the scene outside the city. Even the vegetation outside seemed to be stained by the black air, turning into dark green, exuding a deep breath.

"Dudu!" A general wrapped in iron armor followed the man, half a body behind.

At that time, Da Qi set up 24 Dudus nationwide. The task of these Dudus was to supervise the good and evil of officials below the local governor. The 24 Dudus were divided into three levels. The last level was the lower Dudu, the middle level was the middle Dudu, and the higher level than the middle Dudu was the Grand Dudu. There were not many Grand Dudus, only four.

Later, the Da Wei court also established the Grand Dudu and the Grand Dudu's Office, and later changed to the Five Military Dudu's Office. Although the Da Xuan court abolished the Five Military Dudu's Office, it also established the Four Courts Protectorate.

The biggest difference between the Protectorate and the Governor's Office is that the Protectorate is mainly responsible for frontier affairs, while the Governor's Office is a local administrative agency set up by the Great Qi court in important inland areas to manage inland affairs. Sometimes, the governor and the governor are held by the same person.

Judging from the scale of this city, it is obviously not the Grand Governor, and it is unlikely to be the Middle Governor. The most likely one is the Lower Governor.

However, this island has been completely separated from the human world, and naturally there will be no court. Whether it is the Grand Governor, the Lower Governor, or even an ordinary county magistrate, they are the highest rulers here.

"The rebellion is still going on." The general whispered, "The rioters in various places refused to pay taxes and built camps to resist the government troops."

The middle-aged man who was honored as the Governor ignored this, but stretched out his hand, with black aura around his fingertips, and said: "Do you feel it? An external existence has arrived."

These black auras are like his eyes and ears, which will tell him a lot of information, making him almost omniscient and omnipotent in this world.

The subordinates did not speak.

The governor continued, "I am the hunter on behalf of Heaven. I must eliminate the outsiders. This is Heaven's will."
