Imperial Demon Slayer Division
Chapter 254 Opening up a shelter
The three palaces in the Kingdom of Ye are the first front where the Qin army officially launches its offensive.
The Qin army suddenly launched a sneak attack and was very ruthless. Countless cities were reduced to rubble and tens of millions of people were displaced. It was extremely difficult for Gu Yan to conquer this place.
The next morning, the spies sent by Gu Yan to Zhongsanfu came back.
"Sir, because too many soldiers died in the battle, the resentment in Zhongsan Mansion has been so high that it has attracted many evil spirits."
Gu Yan nodded slightly and said
"Explore again and always pay attention to the situation of Zhongsanfu"
After the spies bowed, they quickly left the main hall and returned to Zhongsan Mansion.
"Yes, my lord"
Gu Yan effortlessly conquered the two northern provinces, which made Xiang Kui and Gong Jue, the demon-slaying officers who had just followed Gu Yan, admire him greatly, so they asked
"Sir, when are we going to Zhongsanfu?"
Gu Yan smiled and shook his head, and said unhurriedly
"Don't worry, the humans in Zhongsanfu have not been pushed to the limit by the evil spirits. We will take action when they are cornered."
……
In Zhongsanfu, in a temporary shelter, hundreds of people looked haggard and were huddled together in ragged clothes.
A strong man with a full beard said eagerly to the middle-aged man opposite him.
"Old Zhang, those evil spirits are approaching again. Please think of a solution quickly."
A middle-aged man named Lao Zhang frowned and looked at the approaching demon in the distance.
"There is nothing we can do unless the demon-slaying divisions of the two northern provinces are willing to take action. Lao Zheng, Lao Hu and I are the strongest in this refuge. We will go up first later. Lao Zheng, you protect the people and kill them." Go out and live as long as you can."
Another short man nodded vigorously. He also knew that this was the best way now.
The bearded man looked at the short man and said solemnly
"Old Zheng, there are more than 100,000 people in Xiyang City, but now there are only a few left. You must protect them."
Lao Zhang patted Lao Hu on the shoulder, drew out his sword and walked towards the group of demons and evil spirits.
"Lao Hu, stop talking nonsense, Lao Zheng, wait for the right opportunity and lead people out."
……
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The short man named Lao Zheng did not lead the people out.
None of the hundreds of people in this shelter escaped the evil clutches, and they were all killed here.
This situation is not limited to this place, it happens everywhere in Zhongsan Mansion. However, in just seven days, one-fifth of the people in the entire Zhongsan Mansion were killed by evil spirits.
As time goes by, more and more people find that the two northern mansions are very safe. The evil spirits don't even dare to come close, let alone killing people here.
After all, these three words "Demon Slayer Division" have caused pain to the Yaoxie clan for more than two thousand years.
At this time, the mentality of the people began to undergo some subtle changes.
Beiyang Fucheng Demon Slayer Division
Gu Yan looked at the twenty-one earth-level demon-slaying officers in the sea-viewing realm and two heaven-level demon-slaying officers in the mountain-moving realm in front of him, and said loudly
"The people of Zhongsan Prefecture have been forced into a desperate situation by evil spirits. Each of you twenty-three people will lead 200 demon-slaying envoys. Each of you will occupy a city in Zhongsan Prefecture and declare that as long as the Zhongsan Prefecture admits that you are our subjects of Great Qin, and Register your household registration and you can take refuge in the city.”
Gu Yan didn't say what to do if he didn't admit it. These demon slayer officers were not fools and wouldn't ask questions in a daze.
Twenty-three demon-slaying officers clasped their fists and said in unison
"Subordinates take orders!"
After receiving Gu Yan's order, the twenty-three demon-slaying officers and their men rode horses and galloped towards Zhongsan Mansion.
Lin Wu led the demon-slaying envoys to the ruins of Zhonglu Fucheng.
Looking at the demons wandering around unscrupulously on the street, Lin Wu drew out his demon-slaying knife, pointed at the demons, laughed ferociously, and shouted:
"kill!"
The two hundred demon slayers behind him instantly rushed forward like tigers rushing into a herd of sheep.
For a time, the city was filled with swords and swords, and the pitiful screams of evil spirits spread all around.
Those who followed Gu Yan south were elites, so the battle ended very quickly.
The monsters that defeated the rogue cultivators like Lao Zhang and Lao Hu were no more than chickens and dogs in front of the Demon Slayer Division, and could be easily killed.
After the battle, Lin Wu ordered twenty demon-slayers with faster movements and said
"Spread the news about this place and say that the demons in Zhonglu City have been wiped out by the Demon Slayer Division. As long as they enter the city, the Demon Slayer Division can keep them safe."
"Yes, Master Lin"
Lin Wu nodded and said to the remaining demon slayers
"Okay, the rest of us will prepare and register the household registrations for the people who are coming."
……
The news about Fucheng on the middle road spread quickly, and the surrounding people also fled frantically towards Fucheng.
But just one day later, the first batch of people arrived
Lin Wu looked at the people running in the distance, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a slight stroke of the demon-slaying knife in his hand, he cut a deep pit on the ground hundreds of meters away, and said loudly
"Stop! Trespassers will die."
Seeing the deep pit on the ground, the running people quickly stopped rushing towards the city.
Just when the people were looking at each other, not knowing what to do, a middle-aged man who was very famous among the people squeezed through the crowd and walked out, shouting loudly
"Didn't your Demon Slayer Division say that the demons in the city have been cleared away, and that we can be safe as long as we enter the city? Why are you stopping us now and not letting us in!"
Lin Wu smiled and nodded, his sinister look very much like Gu Yan's.
"That's right, I didn't lie to you. As long as you enter the city, you will be safe, but there are conditions for entering the city."
When the middle-aged man heard Lin Wu's words, he glared at him fiercely.
"I knew you Qin people wouldn't have such a good heart. Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Lin Wu pointed to the dozens of tables next to him and said
"Register your household registration and admit that you are a native of Qin"
The middle-aged man immediately shouted
"Impossible! We are born as people of the Night Kingdom, and die as the ghosts of the Night Kingdom. We will never join your Qin Kingdom!"
Lin Wu shook his head indifferently, pointed at the evil spirit that was getting closer and closer behind him, and said with a smile.
"In that case, please"
The middle-aged man looked back at the evil spirits who were getting closer and closer, and then looked at the people who had no energy to escape and had despair on their faces. He bit his lips fiercely and did not even notice that blood was flowing all over his mouth.
The middle-aged man seemed to have accepted his fate. He closed his eyes and said in an extremely low voice.
"Folks, let's go into the city..."
Lin Wu looked at the middle-aged man, clapped his hands and smiled.
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes, so register with peace of mind."
After saying that, he drew out the demon-slaying sword, led the other demon-slaying envoys towards the group of demons, and began to kill them crazily.
The reason why Lin Wu did not tell the conditions for entering the city in advance was to force this group of people to register with the Qin State.
The large-scale escape of the people will definitely attract many evil spirits to chase and kill them. After escaping to the city gate, they will have no energy left to continue running for their lives.
Behind them are the monsters that are killing them, and in front is the shelter held up by the Demon Slayer Division. Anyone with a sound mind will know which one to choose.
After all, there are not that many people in this world who remain loyal despite threats of life and death, not to mention that the Kingdom of Night has long since perished.
Lin Wu followed Gu Yan many years ago. He learned a lot about Gu Yan's methods, especially how to deal with the ugliness of human nature. Lin Wu was even more proficient in it.
