After the death of the late emperor, I stopped acting as a traitorous minister.

Chapter 164

In Jumo City, the army began to defend outside the city according to Lin Beihe's order. The next battle was inevitable.

After all, the devil's continuous reinforcements have entered the devil's barracks, and now the camp is full of elite devils.

The demons that Lin Beihe originally defeated were nothing compared to these elite demons.

"What can we do...Oh, this is how the battle with this devil is."

"You new recruits still don't understand. If you fight too hard, the demons will keep coming. If you are defeated quickly, you will have to pay compensation immediately!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the Prime Minister is so powerful, there is no need to be afraid of the devil."

"Young young man, the stronger the Prime Minister is, the harder it will be to stop this battle."

The soldiers patrolling everywhere, as well as the armies from all sides, were frightened by the elite demons in the distance, and they all started talking.

No one denies that Lin Beihe is very powerful.

However, Lin Beihe could not solve the endless stream of demons by taking immediate action.

On the contrary, Lin Beihe was too strong and kept holding on here. On the contrary, he would not win in the future and would suffer more and more losses.

The veteran thanked Lin Beihe, the Prime Minister, for coming in person, but he did not think that Zhou could win.

"you……"

On the roadside, Cang, who was dressed in casual clothes, wanted to scold a few soldiers, but was stopped by Lin Beihe's eyes.

Cang was very angry, which was actually normal.

After all, at this time, Lin Beihe had been involved in several fierce battles and even risked his own life. As a result, this group of people had such an attitude.

"The most important thing now is not to stop these people from saying this, but to stop these people from thinking this way!"

"The people here are living a good life, so we should pay attention to the food and grass supply!"

Lin Beihe whispered to Cang that the atmosphere in Jumo City was very gloomy now, and it was useless for Cang to teach one or two soldiers.

These people don't say anything verbally, but they are dissatisfied in their hearts.

Hubao Camp and Cang fought fiercely outside the city, but they could not change the gap between Dazhou and the Ancient Demon Realm.

The soldiers are right. The bigger Lin Beihe is here, the more demons he will attract in the end.

"Now that we can find a way to control the agency, the days when the devil was extremely rampant are coming to an end!"

Seeing that the people in the city were living well, Lin Beihe was not worried about the devil.

Whether it's Nether Han, or any other demon, or even all cultivators who have heard the name of Lord Qiushuang, they all know one thing.

The Qiushuang Demon Lord's mechanism is driven by demonic energy. It will be like this after it is created, and no one can change it.

Lin Beihe happened to take advantage of this loophole, otherwise You Minghan would have gained a lot.

"Yes, your Excellency is right, my subordinate still didn't see the situation clearly and was a little anxious just now!"

"Food and grass are being transported as quickly as possible, and some true essence stones are also being transported, but the capital..."

After listening to Lin Beihe's order, Cang knew that he was indeed a little anxious.

Just making one or two people afraid to talk about the devil will not bring security.

However, what Cang wants to say is not that there is any trouble in the Demon Rejection City. The biggest problem is actually the capital city.

Why some people in Jumo City are dissatisfied is not because Lin Beihe did something wrong.

But most of the high-ranking officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty have good relations with the Ancient Demon Realm.

The people of Jumo City worked hard, but as a result, peace talks with the Ancient Demon Realm had begun in the capital, which naturally chilled the border troops.

"Don't ask too much about things in the capital. In the Demon-Rejecting City, be prepared to resist the Demons!"

"As for the capital, without an imperial decree coming, any news will be regarded as false news."

Lin Beihe said lightly and left here. Cang was worried that someone in the capital would be dishonest and compromise with the Ancient Demon Realm.

But Lin Beihe was not worried about this. Without the imperial edict, Lin Beihe did not believe the so-called news at all.

In other words, Wu Mingyue did not issue an order, and everything was not finalized.

Even if Wu Mingyue didn't believe in Lin Beihe, she would not give up this opportunity to deal with the Ancient Demon Realm.

"As ordered!"

Hearing what Lin Beihe said, Cang's eyes were filled with excitement, and he naturally understood what Lin Beihe meant.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

Lin Beihe's meaning is already very clear, that is, others cannot affect the Demon Rejection City.

Wu Mingyue's will is indeed useful, but Wu Mingyue usually does not issue such a decree.

Moreover, peace talks are not that easy. After all, the current Great Zhou Dynasty is at a time when it is suppressing the Ancient Demon Realm, and it is impossible for peace talks to succeed immediately.

Cang, Lin Beihe was patrolling outside, at an inn in Jumo City,

"General, this is a gift from the Duke!"

A man who looked like a butler gave two boxes to the middle-aged man opposite.

The boxes were all opened to a crack, and one box was full of gold ingots.

Inside another box, there was a rich blue light shining. Inside was a high-grade True Essence Stone!

"This gift..." The middle-aged man hesitated, not knowing whether he should accept it. Of course, looking at these things, the middle-aged man could no longer take his eyes away.

But the matter the steward asked about really involved military aircraft.

As a result, it was hard for the middle-aged man to say anything he wanted to say for a while.

After all, if he continues talking, the middle-aged man is afraid of offending the butler.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to talk about the current war situation and the general's embarrassment. The Duke will not ask about it. After all, you also know the Duke!"

"With the help of the Duke, many generals in Demon Rejection City have been promoted!"

The butler said with a smile, very kindly, but there was threat and a bit of contempt in his voice.

After all, the housekeeper has asked many generals for information in the past, so he has naturally seen some uncooperative people.

In particular, the demons outside the Demon Rejection City were somewhat controlled by some powerful figures. All the generals in the Demon Rejection City were unwilling to cooperate.

However, these generals chose to bow their heads in the end. After all, they were an iron-clad duke and a merciless prime minister.

"Then please tell the Duke and the adults that the current Demon Resisting City is indestructible!"

"As for the demons, it will be difficult to win for the time being, and at this time, the Prime Minister is still very confident."

The middle-aged man thought for a while, but still said helplessly, of course he didn't want to tell anyone about the Demon Rejection City.

But now the middle-aged man understands the butler's attitude and the fate of the previous generals in Demon City.

It seems that some of the big shots in the capital have no connection with the generals in the Demon Rejection City, especially the Duke of Cheng, who will not like the generals who persist in dealing with the Demons.

After all, Duke Cheng Guo belongs to the surrender faction and is basically responsible for the peace talks with the Ancient Demon Realm. But in fact, Duke Cheng Guo does not need weak generals.

"Those who are too tough are not suitable, and those who are too weak are not suitable either. The most important thing is to be obedient..."

The very helpless middle-aged man knew exactly who Duke Cheng needed.

If Duke Cheng had surrendered blindly, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago, and the royal family would not be able to trust Duke Cheng.

In the inn, the atmosphere has become somewhat solidified. Facing this nobleman from the capital, it is difficult for the middle-aged man to refuse.

Moreover, the middle-aged man also understands Duke Cheng. This Duke knows what conditions are suitable for peace talks and what conditions are not, and he will not choose to fish for nothing.

If the conditions given by the devil are good and the Zhou Dynasty will not be damaged, then Cheng Guogong needs a weak general and directly gives up the resistance.

If Duke Cheng Guo really had no brains in the peace talks and had no skills at all, he would have been dealt with long ago.

"Okay, the general is indeed a smart man. When the time comes, someone will come and continue to contact the general!"

"I hope the general understands what is the best choice for Da Zhou!"

The butler nodded contentedly, not surprised by this answer.

After all, for these generals, the most important thing is gold, silver, power, and strength.

Gold and silver were given, and the True Essence Stone to enhance strength was a gift that could not be refused. As for the middle-aged man who obeyed the order this time, he would definitely be promoted step by step in the future.

In this case, the middle-aged man could not refuse the butler's request.

"Go slowly, don't send me away..."

The middle-aged man sighed, knowing exactly what the butler meant. At this time, he obviously wanted to disrupt the Demon Rejection City.

After all, if Lin Beihe continues to fight, the pressure on many people in the capital will soar.

Lin Beihe is indeed powerful, but to put it bluntly, all the credit goes to Lin Beihe, and a few people are satisfied.

The middle-aged man does not want to directly become the steward's subordinate, but at this time, the matter is not something that the middle-aged man can decide.

In the mansion, Lin Beihe began to practice with his eyes closed. This time the demon's movements were a bit strange, but Lin Beihe was not going to be killed.

Nether Han was indeed powerful, and Lin Beihe knew that he would meet a powerful opponent this time.

"After Nether Han signed the covenant, there were only two paths. On the one hand, he used his trump card to make the demon stronger as soon as possible."

"On the other hand, I still have to find a way to make many people dissatisfied with me, starting from the capital city."

Lin Beihe knew what You Minghan was doing, but it was actually useless.

Spreading news in the capital city was like stabbing Lin Beihe in the back, but You Minghan never thought that people in the capital city could not affect Lin Beihe.

People like You Minghan and Cheng Guogong still used the same methods they used to deal with other people to deal with Lin Beihe.

In particular, You Ming Han wanted to use a covenant to bind Lin Beihe, but the contract that You Ming Han and Lin Beihe owed only limited You Ming Han.

"Continue to understand these things, and give Nether Han a surprise when the time comes!"

Looking at the demonic energy in his hands, Lin Beihe was ready to practice again. After You Minghan sent the mechanism over, Lin Beihe would have to find a way to break through directly.

You Minghan probably wouldn't have thought that Lin Beihe would have such a plan.

Nether Han, who personally delivered the mechanism, was the biggest boost to Lin Beihe's improvement. “What Nether Han sent was not only the built mechanism, but most importantly, the remnant soul of Demon Lord Qiu Shuang, and the demonic energy..."

Thinking of You Ming Han's plan, what Lin Beihe and You Ming Han wanted to compete for was time.

If Lin Beihe gets the mechanism given by You Ming Han, Lin Beihe will improve faster and You Ming Han will be dealt with by Lin Beihe.

But Lin Beihe's improvement is not fast enough. If Nether Han's plan succeeds, Lin Beihe will be in trouble.

Nether Han and Lin Beihe each have their own advantages, it just depends on who can be faster.

You Minghan placed his hopes on the Zhou court, but Lin Beihe placed his hopes on himself.

Of course, Lin Beihe not only has arrangements in the Demon Rejection City, the Shura Clan and the Beihai Demon Clan are also putting pressure on the Ancient Demon Realm.

Nether Han thought that Lin Beihe was just staying in Demon-Rejecting City, but Lin Beihe's hands had already reached many places.

The place where the Shura Clan army was stationed lasted only for most of the day, and the demons of the Ancient Demon Realm suffered huge losses.

At this time, there were far more demon corpses than the prepared Shura army.

The demon elders in this demonic realm had already abandoned tens of thousands of corpses and fled in panic.

Large areas of land in the Ancient Demon Realm, as well as some mineral veins, were quickly occupied by the Shura clan, and the army was still chasing the demon elders.

This time it is not that the demons in the Ancient Demon Realm are not strong enough, but that the demon elders can raise all the soldiers and horses.

Most of the powerful men were recruited by the big figures in the Ancient Demon Realm and went to the vicinity of Great Zhou.

"Elder Demon runs so fast, hahahaha!"

"Years of bad energy are all released in one breath. I'm happy, happy."

The generals of the Shura tribe are very excited. Now it is really fun to lead the soldiers of the Shura tribe to deal with the demons.

In the past, the armies of the Ancient Demon Realm were extremely powerful, but this time they suffered a lot of losses.

Under a demon elder, there are basically one or two thousand elite demons, that is, strong men whose cultivation is at least in the middle stage of foundation building.

But this time in the Ancient Demonic Domain, the demon elders close to the Shura tribe only had some ordinary troops under their command.

In this way, the army of the Ancient Demon Realm is like a herd of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Even though the demon elders are powerful, there are still strong ones in the Shura clan.

"Kill! Target, Demon City!"

The generals of the Shura tribe gradually unified their goals, which was to continue to attack the Ancient Demon Realm and pursue the demon elders. At the same time, the Shura tribe should try to get as many benefits as possible.

If these generals of the Shura tribe were only obsessed with killing the demons in the ancient demon realm, or insisting on hunting down the demon elders, it would be a waste of opportunities.

After all, there are endless demons everywhere in the ancient demonic realm. This time, the Shura clan should occupy the city and mines to gain profits!

The demon elders have no way to occupy the demon cities everywhere in the ancient demon realm, and it is impossible for the demon army of the ancient demon realm to enter the city.

The demon elders had no chance, and the demons in the Ancient Demon Realm were directly expelled.

"I don't know what happened to him. I want to occupy more places as soon as possible and force the Ancient Demon Realm to return to defense."

"Otherwise, once the Demon Rejection City is captured, these current interests will be of no use."

Among the countless Shura warriors, Luo Yaoyao also led a team of elites to intercept the demon elders and headed for a city in the ancient demon realm.

For Luo Yaoyao, what comes to mind now is not what to do after dealing with the demon elders and taking over the ancient demon city.

Luo Yaoyao only thought about the situation in Lin Beihe and Jumo City.

Now that the demon elders are in such a defeat, the demons in the Ancient Demon Realm are also in collapse. There is only one reason. Lin Beihe attracted the attention of the Ancient Demon Realm.

The demon elders from all sides sent their elites outside the Demon Rejection City. I don’t know how many elites there are, but the powerful legions will launch a direct attack.

Luo Yaoyao believed in Lin Beihe's strength, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was beset with internal and external difficulties, and even Lin Beihe would sometimes be unable to save him.

The army of the Beihai Demon Clan was similar to that of the Shura Clan, and it dealt with the demons in a mighty manner.

All kinds of demonic energies soared into the sky, forming a terrifying pressure that made the demons have no choice but to flee.

Now all the demon elders who live together in the Ancient Demon Realm can only hide, and most of the elite demons in the Ancient Demon Realm have been transferred away.

These demon elders are powerful alone, but they have no effect. The Beihai Demon Clan came out in full force this time to sweep away the ancient demon realm!

The demon tribe’s big tent.

"The demon elder is running very fast, Your Majesty. Now he has occupied four cities, and some cities have been captured."

"As for the others, it still takes time. Your Majesty wants to lead the army to rescue the Demon City, but it is still too early now..."

Elder Gui whispered, trying to dissuade Huo Tong'er in front of him not to rush to lead the army of the Beihai Demon Clan to help Lin Beihe.

The Ancient Demon Realm is now extremely empty. This is the opportunity given by Da Zhou.

It is true that Elder Turtle also wants to gain benefits, but why did Elder Demon send all the elites from the Ancient Demon Realm to the Demon Rejection City?

If the Beihai Demon Clan does not take the opportunity to put pressure on the demon elders and senior officials of the Ancient Demon Realm, but chooses to send troops to help Lin Beihe, this is not the best choice!

Today's Huo Tong'er is indeed powerful, but Elder Gui doesn't think that Huo Tong'er can be a great demon king if he has the strength.

Huo Tong'er already had the strength to suppress the Beihai Monster Clan, but under heavy pressure, he could not convince the other Monster Clan.

"The ability to truly rule the Beihai Demon Clan is for the sake of the Beihai Demon Clan. The disastrous defeat of the Demon Elder and the loss of the Ancient Demon Realm are indeed very great."

"Your Majesty can help Lin Beihe, but this is not the best choice. Lord Lin does not want you to give up such an opportunity."

Elder Turtle said earnestly, Elder Demon cannot control the Demon Realm here, there are not many opportunities like this.

Only if Huo Tong'er contributes to the Beihai Demon Clan and benefits more demon kings will these demon kings slowly recognize Huo Tong'er.

Elder Gui knows about the relationship between Lin Beihe and Huo Tong'er, and so does the Demon King of the Beihai Demon Clan.

Huo Tong'er took all the demon kings there, but I'm afraid it wouldn't have much effect, but it would arouse the dissatisfaction of many demon kings.

Elder Gui himself thinks that he must expand the power of the Beihai Demon Clan as soon as possible so that Huo Tong'er can have a chance to win the recognition of all parties.

"Elder Turtle, you..."

Huo Tong'er wanted to say something, but thinking about the Beihai Monster Clan, Elder Turtle, and the real situation in Demon Rejection City now, Huo Tong'er was speechless.

The Beihai Demon Clan really needs to swallow the city of the Ancient Demon Realm and control the mineral veins and various resources.

Otherwise, Elder Gui would be willing to follow Huo Tong'er, but more demon kings from the North Sea Monster Clan would not cooperate, so it would be useless for Elder Gui and Huo Tong'er to go.

Now that the demon kings from all sides of the Beihai Demon Clan are quite powerful, Elder Turtle's advice is very useful.

If Huo Tong'er thought about just using the Beihai Demon Clan to bring opportunities to Great Zhou, then it would not be difficult to do it.

But Elder Gui's words made Huo Tong'er understand what Lin Beihe needed.

"Your Majesty, applying pressure here will not only make the Ancient Demon Realm unable to deal with Master Lin."

"The most important thing is that once the army of the Beihai Monster Clan enters the Great Zhou Dynasty, Master Lin will probably be killed by the Empress..."

Elder Gui had something to say, not to mention whether the Demon King of the Beihai Demon Clan was giving Huo Tong'er face.

Even Elder Turtle and Demon King are willing to follow Huo Tong'er to fight against the Ancient Demon Realm for Great Zhou, and Lin Beihe is also willing to let Huo Tong'er go.

What would the other people in Dazhou think?

It was the Beihai Monster Clan who came to the rescue, and then the whole clan risked their lives for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Lin Beihe and Huo Tong'er had a deep relationship.

It was the Beihai Demon Clan who listened to Lin Beihe. Not only did Lin Beihe respond on Monday, but Elder Turtle, the Demon King of the Beihai Demon Clan, had a very good relationship with Lin Beihe.

"This……"

After being asked by Elder Gui in one sentence, Huo Tong'er was speechless now. Leading troops to Da Zhou was indeed of no use.

Most of the elite demons from the Ancient Demon Realm were unable to capture the Demon Rejection City quickly.

The best way is for the Beihai Monster Clan to occupy the city here and put pressure on the Ancient Demon Realm.

Elder Gui's words don't sound good, but they are indeed true. Once the Beihai Demon Clan actually goes to Great Zhou, it will only cause trouble for Lin Beihe.

The elite army of the Ancient Demon Realm captured the Demon-Rejecting City near the Demon-Rejecting City, so even Elder Gui and Huo Tong'er had no effect.

"Once the army of the Beihai Demon Clan goes to Great Zhou, where will it be stationed?"

"It is impossible to enter the Demon Rejection City and fight side by side with the soldiers of the Great Zhou. After all, the relationship between many demon kings and the Great Zhou is not very good."

Elder Gui continued to ask Huo Tong'er. At this moment, it was just Huo Tong'er who had a good relationship with Lin Beihe, not the Beihai Monster Clan, who had a deep relationship with Zhou.

Nowadays, the North Sea Monster Clan and Dazhou can form such an alliance because Huo Tong'er and Elder Gui have figured out a way, and this time it was Dazhou who took on the pressure and barely succeeded.

Huo Tong'er has now sent the Beihai Demon Clan into the Demon-Rejecting City. Even if the empress does not doubt Lin Beihe, once a demon king causes trouble, it will only be more troublesome.

Elder Gui understands the demon kings of the North Sea Demon Clan, and Huo Tong'er should also understand what Elder Gui means.

It is best for the Beihai Demon Clan and Da Zhou to maintain their current relationship. This is the best.

What Elder Turtle is saying now is in the hope that the troubles of the North Sea Monster Clan can be reduced as much as possible, and that there will be more gains at the moment.

"This……"

Huo Tong'er fell into deep thought. Elder Gui was right. The relationship between the Beihai Monster Clan and Dazhou, plus the current situation of Lin Beihe...

All these things put together, even if Huo Tong'er is truly kind-hearted, he is actually doing bad things.

Elder Gui's intention is indeed to stay here, and he has his own selfish motives, but the most important thing is that he really wants to consider Huo Tong'er.

Huo Tong'er slapped his head and decided to lead his troops directly there. However, if these armies of the Beihai Demon Clan really arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would probably be stopped by the surrounding armies.

First of all, what Elder Turtle said, even if the surrounding army lets the Beihai Monster Clan pass, it will probably cause even greater trouble for Lin Beihe.

Elder Turtle wants to occupy the city in the Ancient Demonic Realm. This is the greatest help to Lin Beihe.

"Send troops quickly and occupy the city in the Ancient Demon Realm!"

Suppressing the worry in her heart, Huo Tong'er said in a deep voice.

Whether it is as the great demon king of the North Sea Demon Clan, or for the sake of Lin Beihe, it is enough to abide by what allies should do.

Huo Tong'er knew what Elder Gui thought. Personal relations were one thing, and cooperation between Dazhou and the Beihai Monster Clan was another thing.

"Leader!"

Huo Tong'er spat, and Elder Gui could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, the army of the Beihai Monster Clan continued to attack the Demon Realm City and controlled some of the mines of true rough stones.
