Chapter 11 The Curtain Opens
The army was about to return, but Yecheng was still being demolished and gold was being transported to the cemetery.
After driving most of the people in Yecheng out of Yecheng, Ye Yan took the 13,000 skeleton miners to start raiding their homes.
The first to be raided were naturally the gold exchange houses that specialized in gold. They were big households. As expected, after the raid, the number of skeleton miners on Ye Yan's hands reached 30,000. Minus the 13,000 at the beginning, the gold exchange houses in Yecheng gave him 17,000 this time. The harvest alone was more than raiding two small towns.
After demolishing the major gold exchange houses, Ye Yan immediately set his sights on the major families in Yecheng, because Ye Yan found that there was really no gold in the shops. It was still the big families that were powerful, especially the families that had been passed down for many years. I believe that the families in the city must be much more powerful than the families in the small towns.
With the help of 30,000 skeleton miners, the settlements of the major noble families in Yecheng were flattened in a short time. While picking up gold, Ye Yan realized that he had underestimated the wealth of these real noble families. In terms of wealth, the so-called noble families in the small towns were simply embarrassing these big noble families.
The number of skeleton miners increased dramatically, from 30,000 to 100,000. It was really amazing. Ye Yan also blamed himself for putting the gold exchange before the noble families. If there was a chance, he would go into the city to demolish the noble families first to show respect.
After raiding the homes of the big families, the next step is naturally the gray industries of all sizes in Yecheng. I think the harvest will not be too little after raiding.
Under Ye Yan's order, the dense sea of skeletons rushed to the dilapidated streets. Under this number, those restaurants and brothels were easily destroyed. After the sea of skeletons left, only a small team of skeletons was left to search for gold in the ruins.
Time passed, and the sun had risen. During the time when Ye Yan was squeezing the gold from Yecheng, the army of Yecheng and the ghost hunters who were called had already arrived at the city.
Outside Yecheng, the ghost hunters were discussing the next action to retake Yecheng with the new general Xincun Youli. Although the ghost hunters did not care about the ownership of Yecheng, the ghosts who launched the blood ghost technique must be killed.
"Report, the number of skeleton evil creatures is more than 30,000, and the city gates have been occupied." A soldier reported.
The ghost hunters were all shocked. Although they had already known that there were many skeletons in Yecheng, the intuitive number still frightened the ghost hunters. How terrifying this blood ghost technique was.
Xincun Youli pondered. Yecheng must be recaptured, so as to wash away the shame of failure, and then he could stabilize his position as the general of Yecheng, gain the appreciation of the lord and the support of the family, and have a higher status than his father and brother.
But he had to fight more than 30,000 monsters with his head. It wouldn't work if he pushed his head up. You know, he only had 5,000 soldiers and only 2,000 regular troops.
Is there really only one way to ask for help? Xincun Youli looked at the direction of Yecheng unwillingly. If he really did that, his future would probably be gone. He might even be executed by the lord because of his identity as a military advisor!
Seeing Xincun Youli's embarrassed expression, Jiguo Yuanyi, the representative of the ghost hunters, stood up.
"General Xincun, you know about monsters like ghosts. I will lead the ghost hunters to behead the ghosts who manipulate the blood ghost art, so please hold the skeleton monsters head-on." Jiguo Yuanyi said calmly.
Xincun Youli's face eased, and then he remembered that the 30,000 monsters on the opposite side were all fake. As long as the ghost who manipulated the blood ghost art died, the 30,000 monsters would be gone.
After looking at the other ghost hunters for a few times, he found that they all looked serious, but he didn't see any fear. Xincun Youli immediately agreed and even prepared to send all the 500 soldiers who escaped from Yecheng.
As long as he successfully recaptured Yecheng, he would reach an unprecedented height, and the story of defeating 30,000 evil creatures with 5,000 troops would be passed down. At that time, with his prestige, he might be able to establish himself as a king.
"Since all the ghost hunter friends are not afraid of monsters, how can this general retreat? Pass on my order. At noon, the whole army will attack." Xincun Youli waved his sword and shouted excitedly.
After the conversation, the ghost hunters left and gathered together to rest their equipment and discuss the next ghost hunting operation.
"The time in Bison Town was just a bait, this time it is the true strength of the skeleton ghost." A ghost hunter wiped the sun wheel knife and said solemnly.
"I thought summoning a thousand monsters was incredible, but I didn't expect the other party to be able to directly control 30,000." Another ghost hunter looked at the direction of Yecheng without question, and the sun blade in his hand trembled.
"Are you scared?"
"How is that possible? I'm excited!"
The conversation between ghost hunters is very simple, just do it. They may have been afraid of ghosts in the past, but after Yunyi appeared and passed down the breathing method, they no longer encountered ghosts that could not be killed. After all, the average number of spots plus the breathing method plus the sun blade, these configurations can beat the future twelve ghost moon upper moon, and now the opponent is just a ghost created by the ghost king Muzan, and the difference is obvious.
At noon, the war also kicked off. I saw Niimura Yuri leading the army into Yecheng and caught the skeletons who were scavenging by surprise.
However, the Xincun Army could only passively defend soon because the skeletons gathered. There were no less than Xincun Army soldiers in the area around the city gate alone, not to mention the skeletons scattered throughout the Ye City. Fortunately, Xincun Youli was well prepared and barely held back the skeletons, but the problem was that the number of skeletons rushing over was increasing.
On the other side, the ghost hunters quietly entered the industry city through the ladder, and then dispersed into many teams of two people, and began to look for possible hiding places in the industry city. As long as they found the target, they would send a signal.
Among these many teams, the two brothers Jiguo headed towards the central street where the skeletons first appeared. As for why they were divided like this, it was naturally because Jiguo Yuanyi was the strongest, and Jiguo Yansheng, who opened the pattern yesterday, was not weak either, and he was also a brother of Jiguo Yuanyi.
All the ghost hunting teams tried not to kill the skeletons, because killing the skeletons would attract the skeletons around, resulting in large-scale skeleton movement, and the decapitation operation would become an escape from the siege. Of course, if there was a bug like Jiguo Yuanyi, it would be a double mowing.
Through the blessing of breathing and pattern, the ghost hunters completely ignored the skeletons and looked for the hiding places of the ghosts. Because the sun restrained the ghosts, they also looked for those dark places.
At this time, the mastermind behind the scenes, Ye Yan, was lying in an open space basking in the sun. There were many skeletons moving around him, actually protecting Ye Yan's body. Ye Yan's consciousness was controlling the high-ping warriors and waiting for the arrival of the ghost hunters.
