On August 2, Imperial Calendar Year 7734, Dongshuang City ran out of food and killed horses for food.
According to Min Yulin's order, they started with ordinary cavalry horses, followed by corps commanders, chief commanders, centurions, and thousands commanders in sequence.
At the same time, the demons used arrows to send the plague into Dongshuang City.
This plague was enough to Nearly 20,000 imperial soldiers and nearly 50,000 civilians were killed.
It was summer, and the stench of corpses in Dongshuang City was soaring to the sky.
From then on, no one dared to look down on the wisdom of these demons.
Everyone believed that those high-level demons were not fools.
At night, the stars were dim.
Lin Muyu rode his horse and walked slowly on the streets of Dongshuang City.
All he could see were corpses of starved to death, and many houses had their doors closed, but there was a disgusting sound coming from inside.
The fishy smell is probably caused by the whole family.
They starved to death inside.
Originally, Lin Muyu thought that the arrival of the Yangwei Army in the provincial capital of Lingdong would bring about the restoration of the empire, but he did not expect that it would only bring death.
However, even if the Yangwei Army did not come, the place would still be in a desperate situation, because the demons would eventually It will still come.
"Arch Deacon, there is a corpse over there."
Shen Han said.
"Stick your mouth and nose with cloth, dig a hole and bury it on the spot."
"yes" This is Lin Muyu's job these days, leading the Temple Camp to bury corpses everywhere.
After a plague, the Temple Camp has been reduced from nearly 300 people to about 150 people.
People can be seen dying every day.
It seems Everyone has become accustomed to it.
From the initial discomfort when seeing the corpse to the indifference now, this is the change caused by the baptism of war.
At this moment, they are no longer high-ranking cultivators in the temple, but just members of the empire. soldier.
"Is there still no news from the Imperial Capital?"
Lin Muyu asked.
"No."
Qin Yan shook his head and said with a look of loneliness on his face: "Brother, you have also seen the winged people in the demon clan.
I guess that most of the letter birds we released were intercepted and killed by these winged people in the air.
Otherwise, what would happen?
He said that the Imperial Capital would also send a letter or two to Dongshuang City."
"Um."
Lin Muyu thought about it carefully, and Qin Yan was right.
No one knew when the demons formed a siege on Dongshuang City, and their wingmen must have blocked the air a long time ago, so Dongshuang City could not send out feather letters at all. , and could not receive the Feather Book, this place was completely blocked.
Perhaps in the eyes of the demons, this powerful army was like a rabbit in a cage, ready to be slaughtered and cooked at any time.
Qin Yan continued: "There were not many war horses left in the army, no more than 3,000, and nearly half of them were infected with the plague and could not be eaten.
There were only 1,500 left, which was not enough to feed 30,000 people. 20 people How many days will it take to eat a horse?
I’m afraid I’ll have to fast again in three days at most.”
Lin Muyu was silent, and after a while, he asked: "Have you ordered the slaughter of the war horses in our temple camp?"
"Yes, the order came this morning.
The Lord said that in addition to you and me, there are also Lord Shen Han's horses.
The rest of the horses will be delivered to Major General Min Zhan tomorrow morning, and he will slaughter and distribute them."
Lin Muyu was stunned, and reached out to caress the war horse under his crotch.
This horse was selected for him by Qin Yin from the stable of Zetian Palace, but in a few days, he might not even be able to keep this horse.
Late at night, when I returned to the barracks, the people from the Linghuo Department brought me broth, which was freshly cooked horse meat soup.
Lin Muyu got a big bowl, which was considered a full meal.

At this time, he didn't dare to wake up the Red Crystal Dragon.
The little guy had a big appetite and could eat a horse in one meal.
At this time, it was If you are determined not to be able to support it, just let it continue to sleep in a different space.
After being hungry for so many days, it felt very strange to suddenly eat meat.
Lin Muyu chewed the horse meat, but she couldn't taste it.
It was like drinking poison to quench her thirst.
After eating, he sat in the barracks and practiced the Star Art, but he was still unable to break through the third level of the Star Art, which made him very distressed.
Late at night, suddenly there was a loud "boom" in the north "What's wrong" Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped out of the barracks.
Qin Yan was already walking over with a spear: "I don't know, something happened at the North City Gate."
"No way"
Lin Muyu's heart sank and she said, "Come with me immediately."
"Um" The two rode off side by side, while the rest of the soldiers could only walk on foot because the horses had all been killed for meat.
There was a huge fire on the north city wall.
When Lin Muyu arrived, he saw a big hole in the wall.
The city was ablaze.
A group of soldiers gathered around a huge fire pit and watched.
There was a meteorite there.
"There will be evil stars in the sky, and there will be great disasters," a veteran said tremblingly.
“Don’t be alarmist” Lin Muyu walked over, frowned and said, "It's just a meteorite.
What a bullshit evil star.
If you continue to mislead the public with your lies, I'll chop it down immediately."
The old soldier hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Sir, spare your life, I will never dare to do it again."
Lin Muyu couldn't bear it and stepped forward to help him up and explained: "There are small pieces of stars flying in the universe, called meteorites.
This is a natural phenomenon and not an evil star."
The veteran didn't understand, he just nodded: "Your Excellency is wise."
Lin Muyu looked at a burning meteorite, which was about the size of a millstone, but its power was so amazing that it created a large hole with a radius of five meters in the city wall, and the outside of the city could be seen from inside the city.
"Hurry up and repair the city wall.
It must be repaired before dawn tomorrow, otherwise the demons will get the news soon."
Lin Muyu ordered.
On the side, a commander immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Major General" This person is from Qihai City, and he looks familiar.
He probably fought the Demon Suppression Pass with him, but he has long forgotten who he is.
After all, Lin Muyu is also a person with face blindness.
After waiting for a while, after the temperature on the meteorite dissipated, Lin Muyu took out the Dragon Spirit Sword, pierced the meteorite suddenly, and carried it back to the camp.
This was his trophy tonight.
And God seems to know what he needs.
The third level of Star Art requires direct dialogue with the stars.
Only after refining stardust can one comprehend the profound power of the third level.
Lin Muyu needs strength too much.
He needs the power of the Star Art to lead everyone out of this dead city.
When he thinks of the demon army marshal named "Lei Chong", Lin Muyu can't help but shudder.
Lei Chong's strength Too strong.
Even if he and Du Hai join forces, they are no match.
Such a terrifying opponent can inspire Lin Muyu to become stronger.
Returning to the camp, he took out the refining cauldron and started refining the stardust.
The meteorite the size of a millstone was slowly turning over in the refining cauldron, being continuously burned and refined by the star flames.

This process took a long time.
After burning for nearly three hours, the meteorite was already a fiery red, and the stardust on the surface turned into Starlight lingers Wrapped in the weapon refining cauldron, it was completely vaporized, and the star power hidden in the star dust also turned into a series of blue, fiery red, and turquoise rays of light flying in the weapon refining cauldron, and finally one by one It penetrated into Lin Muyu's body.
However, the body with the Star Art seems to be very greedy and is not satisfied with this small amount of star power.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Muyu had refined stardust for five days.
When the meteorite was refined from the size of a millstone to the size of a tea cup, the star power in his mind finally reached a full level.
"Is it okay?"
Lin Muyu put away the weapon refining cauldron, her face covered with sweat.
She slowly exerted force on her arm.
Suddenly, stardust light filled the area around her arm and slowly gathered in her palm, forming a mountain-like stardust energy.
The energy contained in it was The power was far from comparable to that of the rocks in the Broken Cauldron Realm.
Lin Muyu gently raised his arm, and the star rock in his palm protruded rapidly, piercing the air like a sharp knife.
Unfortunately, there are no stones or other materials in the barracks that can be used for experiments.
However, Lin Muyu can still feel the tyranny of this move.
In the martial art of Xingchen Jue, this move is called "Five Mountains Falling from the Sky".
It combines rocks, soil, and fine iron to create a critical strike, and it is a real attack, which is very tyrannical.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the power of the Star Art was dispersed, and the rock naturally turned into starlights out of thin air and penetrated into the body.
At this time, Lin Muyu felt a very comfortable feeling.
The power in the body was full, and It has reached a point of unprecedented strength, and with the process of practicing the Star Art, Lin Muyu's own strength is also slowly improving.
Now he should have reached the peak state of the third level of heaven, and is far away from breaking through and stepping into the holy realm.
Domain is just around the corner
At this moment, Qin Yan's voice came from outside: "Brother, the situation is not good."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Muyu asked.
"People from Qihai City are causing trouble in Beicheng Square."
"make trouble" Lin Muyu frowned, put on his armor, grabbed the Dragon Spirit Sword, and said, "Come with me to have a look."
"yes" When they arrived at the North Square, they saw a large group of Qihai City soldiers sitting helplessly on the ground, and several captains standing on the wooden frames repairing the city wall.
Their faces were red and they shouted passionately: "Brothers We soldiers in the Seven Seas Province are also imperial soldiers.
Why don't they give us food?
The monarch is too partial.
The rations of the Tianqi Army and Shen Gong Camp are three times as much as ours.
Why can they eat them?
We are full, but our soldiers in Nanami City are hungry."
A group of soldiers responded.
At this moment, Min Zhan came with a group of cavalry from the Heavenly Cavalry Army on horseback.
His eyes turned cold and he said loudly: "What are you shouting for?
How come our Heavenly Cavalry Army eats too much?
You are blind."
Is your dog blind?
Tianqijun eats exactly the same things as you every day, we don’t eat more than one bite."
"fart" A captain of Qihai City raised his hand and said, "Look, your Heavenly Cavalry Army still has so many war horses, at least thirty war horses.
Why don't you kill them for us to eat?"
"you" Min Zhan looked livid and yelled: "Wang Xi, why don't you restrain your subordinates?"
Wang Xi is the commander of the Qihai City army, so he naturally understands the stakes.
He frowned and said: "Young General, we are just soldiers fighting.
How can we fight if we don't have enough to eat?"

"You think we can have enough to eat?"
Min Zhan looked angry
