First Lord of Earth

"Is this outside the inn? There is indeed 'pollution'..."

Walk out of the inn's fence and enter the gray mist.

Xia Tian suddenly had a depressing feeling, and even the air felt out of place, as if there was a filthy smell that was constantly burrowing into the cells of the body like insects!

"Hey, why is there a river at the door of the inn?"

Moreover, Xia Tian discovered that in front of the inn, there was actually a big river.

About a hundred meters wide, the color is a turbid yellow, and in the center of the area surrounded by turbid river water is a camp built with various fortifications. It looks very simple, but every part embodies the requirements of military defense. .

"Lord Xia, let's go together!"

At this time, Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu both walked towards the river.

I didn't see any ferries, nor did I "use the water-bending charm", but I walked steadily on the river.

"This river is not an ordinary river. It was brought in by General Zong. Humans will not sink into the river if they stand on it, but the catastrophic creatures will be restricted by the river water. In addition, once humans cross the river and enter the frontline camp, their combat effectiveness will be improved. . And because of this, more people will be inspired to walk out of the inn and join the war!"

Seeing Xia Tian staring at the river, Zhan Zhaohe Hong Fu Nu said with a smile.

Obviously, this should be Zongze's companion rare item, and it will most likely be of golden quality!

"What, General Zong is injured!"

However, the expressions of Zhan Zhao and the two soon became anxious.

Just because, after crossing the river, the news they heard from others was not very good.

"It's a kind of insect with a body as black as ink and the size of a baby's fist. When those alien monsters attacked the position, they suddenly rushed out from nowhere and bit General Zong's feet."

"Fortunately, General Zong reacted quickly and killed him with a backhand knife. But the insect seemed to be poisonous. Now General Zong is not in good condition. The military doctor is checking him in the camp... So, Zhan Zhuangshi, Miss Hongfu, please wait outside for a moment."

Outside a military tent with a flag with the word "Zong" hanging on it, the guard holding a spear in his hand looked a little heavy.

"Buddha bless you, I hope nothing will happen to General Zong..."

"Great Lord Shiva, please give your blessing to General Zong..."

Not only that, many people were waiting at the camp.

Including some non-Chinese people, it can be seen that "General Zong" is indeed very popular!

"The military doctor is out..."

Soon, a man about forty years old carrying a medicine box walked out of the tent, his forehead covered with sweat.

"What's wrong, how is General Zong doing?"

Zhan Zhao and Hong Funu stepped forward and asked.

"It's stable for the time being... The black insect's teeth are so sharp that it has bitten through combat boots and armor. However, the main problem is not the physical body, but that it seems to be able to cause soul-level damage... I have little talent and little knowledge, and I lack a healing soul. The medicinal materials can only temporarily stabilize the injury..."

The medic wiped the sweat from his brow.

"There is some food in the Mysterious Inn that can cure the injuries of the "spirit", but the price is very expensive. With General Zong's character, I am afraid he is not willing to spend the orbs on food..."

Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu looked at each other, worried.

"There is no way. Every time General Zong will give out the 'money beads' he deserves to those low-level people who owe too much debt and will be evicted from the back door of the inn."

"And we all return to the inn to rest after being on duty at the front line for a while to relieve our mental fatigue. Only General Zong has been sticking to the battlefield these days, even at night... without good cultivation. , I’m afraid the injury won’t be so easy to recover from!”

There was a cacophony of voices in the crowd.

Xia Tian, ​​who listened carefully, admired this "General Zong" even more.

No wonder tens of thousands of people from different backgrounds and countries can be organized to jointly fight against the catastrophic creatures!

"I have something that may help General Zong's injury."

Xia Tian reached out and took it out from his arms.

A bottle made of jade-white ceramic appeared, with a gold leaf-shaped bee inlaid on it.

"This is golden royal jelly, a specialty of my territory. It has miraculous effects on injuries at the soul level!"

A lot of thought went into the packaging of this bottle.

After all, golden royal jelly is mainly sold in "markets", so it is better to attract attention if it is packaged well.

"Hiss... This can indeed heal the soul, and it is a rare treasure..."

After the military doctor took it, he opened the cork and smelled it. His eyes suddenly lit up and his expression was full of joy. He turned around and walked into the military camp tent again.

"Lord Xia, please wait a moment."

Zhan Zhao and Hong Funu also hurriedly followed in.

"Lord Xia, your royal jelly is so effective. General Zong has woken up. He invites you in..."

After a while, the three people walked out of the military tent.

Everyone's face showed happiness, especially that military doctor's attitude towards Xia Tian became obviously respectful and eager.

You know, people like them need to fight against catastrophic creatures every day, and injuries are commonplace. This kind of medicine that can quickly treat injuries is simply "worth thousands of dollars"!

"Is this General Zong?"

Xia Tian entered the military tent and found that the layout inside was very simple.

In addition to a blazing fire pit, there was only a sand table made of sand, plus a slightly rough table and Taishi chair made of wood.

At this time, behind the chair, a tall, gray-haired old man, about sixty or seventy years old, was sitting with a golden sword.

The armor he was wearing was obviously badly worn and broken in many places, revealing the scars on his inner clothes. It could also be seen that he was not in good spirits even after taking "golden royal jelly" due to injuries sustained in the battle.

But he still sat there meticulously, staring at Xia Tian calmly, with an inexplicable taste.

"Thank you for the elixir... I heard from the warrior Zhan that you are a human lord?"

Zongze spoke, his voice was calm and his words were clear.

"Yes, human lord Xia Tian has met General Zong!"

Xia Tian nodded and bowed in the manner of a junior.

Xia Tian has always held a relatively respectful attitude toward these outstanding figures in human history.

In particular, he admired Zongze very much, a "national hero" who stood ready to resist foreign invasion and defended China's clothes. Not to mention that he also trained another extremely popular "national hero", Wu Mu Yuefei. !

"Human lords... They all say that 'lords' are among the gods, but I know you are not..."

However, Zongze's next words made Xia Tian feel slightly stunned.

How do you feel that the other party seems to have bad intentions?

"Yes, the lord is not a god, he just relies on the shelter of the Kyushu world..."

But then, Xia Tian nodded sincerely.

From the beginning, he never admitted that he was a "god".

Because, sooner or later, the fake identity will be known to the residents.

Besides, I don't follow the path of "faith", and there is no need to maintain the status of a god all the time. It's just that Zongze's tone of voice doesn't seem to have much affection for the "lord"?

"When I came to this eternal land, I was near a territory. At that time, the lord was leading his residents to fight with a group of blue snake people who descended from the sky...According to the battle situation at that time, he As long as we rely on territory defense and a steady attack, we should be able to defeat the aliens, expel them, and ensure the security of the territory!"

"As a result, he seemed to be extremely confident in his own force. He actually led a group of soldiers to rush out and tried to seize a strange object from the hands of the aliens who were preparing to retreat."

"Instead, he was ambushed by a foreign tribe. In order to protect him, all his soldiers died in the battle, but the lord himself was spared."

"Just because those aliens didn't choose to kill her after they understood his 'lord' identity, but captured her alive, threatening the protection of his open territory..."

Zongze spoke slowly, without too many waves in his tone.

"this……"

Xia Tian's brows wrinkled.

After a modern man is captured by an alien race, what choice will he make to save his life?

Although, I dare not say that it is 100%, but Xia Tian has almost guessed the result...

"Yes, in order to survive, he chose to turn off the 'protection', and even took the initiative to ask the humans in his territory not to resist and surrender to the aliens... Hundreds of aliens rushed into the territory, killing old, young, women and children, including those who had just fought for him The wives and children of the soldiers who died in the battle were about to be slaughtered... After I arrived, I tried my best to save the day. If it hadn't happened that the 'inn' came nearby and picked up the last part of the people, I was afraid that the entire territory would have been destroyed. Everyone has died at the hands of foreigners!”

"Alas, is there any 'human lord' in the world who can help foreigners?"

In the military tent, Zongze, who was wearing a scarred armor, sighed.

"Well……"

Xia Tian heard this.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Indeed, Zongze's era was indeed not yet there, even if the emperor he lived under was the famous "Wanyan Gou", he was single-mindedly suing for peace after winning the battle, and also harmed his famous ministers and generals in various ways, and was listed as the last emperor of ancient China. second!

But at least, there was no such thing as knocking on the door and surrendering.

The real "Emperor" who was listed as the last one was not born until hundreds of years after Zongze's death.

Therefore, in Zongze's eyes, the behavior of this "lord" can be regarded as groundbreaking and unprecedented.

Therefore, how could he have a good face when facing his "lord"?

"Sure enough, things can't go as smoothly as planned..."

Xia Tian frowned slightly.

I originally thought that spiritual stones could be exchanged for money beads, and money beads could be used to exchange people. By recruiting people, one could gain the luck reward of the will of the earth...

If you follow this process, you won't lose anything at all, and you can even make a lot of money!

Unexpectedly, the plan hit a wall with Zongze right after it started.

From the reactions of those people just now, Xia Tian could already see that Zongze's prestige in this mysterious inn was extremely high, and his personal attitude could affect most people.

Especially the Chinese people in the inn, almost all follow his lead!

Once Zongze doesn't agree with his words, it will probably be difficult for the territory to recruit people from the inn.

After all, although this mysterious inn is a bit cruel, it requires constant fighting.

However, Zongze's own rare items and leadership ability can still ensure the survival of many people. However, after being recruited into the territory, if he encounters an unreliable lord, it may lead to the total destruction of everyone.

"Do you think I want to keep these people here to fight against the catastrophic creatures for my own selfish reasons? So I am deliberately making things difficult for you, regardless of the lives of the others?"

Xia Tian fell into silence, while Zongze stared at him and continued.

If he heard those people talking outside the military tent, Xia Tian might indeed think so, but Zongze gave all his "money beads" to others who could not survive. How much self-interest can such a person have in his heart?

On the contrary, Zongze's words reminded Xia Tian himself that the Mysterious Inn had to bear the attacks of catastrophic creatures every day.

If I recruit all the people and the inn is destroyed by catastrophic creatures, will it have any adverse impact on the territory?

Perhaps, consider recruiting only a subset of people.

For example, only choose people from China!

"After the blood sun sets, the offensive of the catastrophic creatures will temporarily stop. When the sun rises tomorrow, it will come back again... If you can prove tomorrow that your territory is indeed capable of establishing a foothold among foreign races, you can provide a platform for the Chinese people. Not only will I not stop you from finding a place to settle down, but I will also take the initiative to help you arrange it..."

Xia Tian was speechless.

On the other hand, Zongze's tone slowed down.

"Old general, please make some arrangements first... I will bring the residents of my territory to this 'camp' tomorrow to prove that I am capable of protecting my Chinese people!"

After Xia Tian heard this, he was a little surprised.

Sure enough, the heroic figures left in history are still there after all. Even if Zongze doesn't have a good sense of "lord", he is still willing to give him a chance to prove himself.

And Xia Tian also believed that the strength and popular support of his territory were enough to let Zongze know that there was a huge difference between lords and lords.

"Hattori, I told you that General Zong is fine and needs to rest and recuperate. You don't need to visit..."

When Xia Tian walked out of the camp.

Seeing the auras surging on Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu's bodies, they were holding weapons with both hands, and there was a tense aura.

The targets were two short men wearing black robes, clogs, and the iconic Tsukiyo hairstyle on the back of their heads.

"Didn't you say... General Zong can't be disturbed? Then what happened to him!"

One of the short men in black robes pointed at Xia Tian. His body exuded the aura of three transformations like a sinister viper, which made people shudder.

"Me? General Zong receives the younger generation from China. After seeing me, he will be in a better mood and help recover from his injuries. Do you have... questions...?"

Before Zhan Zhao and the others could answer, Xia Tian's voice had already sounded.

A pair of eyes stared at the Japanese in black robes. The spiritual power of the third level of mortal transformation surged out of his body and condensed into a lifelike "dragon shape". His eyes were filled with the power of silver thunder!

The oppressive aura coming out of their bodies was like a storm coming, and it made the faces of the two men in black robes and clogs change.

Immediately, he decisively turned around and left!
