Origin Paradise!

"Dragon, elephant, tiger, ox, man, increase fivefold."

"But the accumulation of military evil will inevitably lead to mental stress, and as the level increases, it will inevitably penetrate into the soul."

"Interesting, is this a countermeasure against my backup plan?"

The Divine Silkworm Scripture has a lofty purpose: if you survive a hundred battles, you live; if you don't live, you die. The price is relatively hidden, but the Pei family is unaware of the value of their ten thousand years of martial arts accumulation.

"Chief Secretary, bring five death row inmates."

"Here."

In just a quarter of an hour, the chief clerk brought five death row inmates.

In fact, there are more than five people; there are also a batch of backups.

When the chief clerk returned, he looked up expectantly.

Jiang He rubbed his forehead and said, "I will take ten bolts of silk."

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." The chief clerk replied without any hesitation. Silk fabric could be used to make clothes, and it was a necessary consumable that held its value quite well.

Jiang He reached out, and as expected, the Spatial Slash failed to activate; the Immortal-level spatial power could not tear through the solidity of the fifth-order world.

"nausea."

Jiang He couldn't help but complain inwardly. The three battlefields were really disgusting to him. However, Origin had managed to secure the Sun Core, which was a balance between the two sides. The power was promoted to authority, which was clearly an overflowing reward.

"Eighty thousand gold energy, but actually only eight thousand. Other players are probably in even worse shape."

"The Light of Eternal Judgment can only be unleashed when one is exhausted and activates the Time Ring."

"Spatial teleportation can be used occasionally, but the idea of ​​a large-scale military airdrop is utter nonsense."

The unique nature of the world has led to the fact that the three highest-level cultivation techniques share the greatest similarity in energy conservation, and are extremely meticulous in their calculations.

Whoosh whoosh!

Five thorns pierced out and killed the condemned prisoner.

As Jiang He comprehended the Divine Silkworm Scripture, a jet-black silkworm pattern appeared on his wrist, subtly enhancing his strength.

The power of one person.

This power is not rooted in the body, but acts on a mysterious realm. Its endpoint may be authority. The body's stats will not increase, but the actual effect will not be affected. With the help of this characteristic, the Divine Silkworm state can be maintained indefinitely. During battle, it will only increase the consumption of energy, without involving energy.

"They've truly mastered the art of saving money."

Jiang He got up and headed to the Altar of the God of Earth and Grain.

He used the remains of eight hundred soldiers to begin creating ordinary gold-level evil soldiers, starting from scratch. Roughly five remains were used to create one soldier, totaling 160. Mixed into a thousand-man army, this was enough to achieve adequate control.

The newly recruited evil soldiers now possess the intelligence of normal people, though they are somewhat naive. However, Jiang He believes that given enough time, these guys will definitely become neurotic.

"Your Majesty, my father?"

—The beginnings are just beginning to emerge.

A mentally challenged and vicious soldier began to ponder from birth, eventually arriving at an answer that was extremely suitable for the mysterious realm.

"Old Hei, come here and take him away."

"Here we go."

At the same time, Jiang He heard a notification tone.

……

"Hey buddy, what gives you the right to be so arrogant with me?"

The city of Dongnae County, which is near the coast.

Because the Northern Wei cavalry crossed the river, the Pei clan moved their clan center here, making salt production one of their economic pillars.

At the eagle farm in the southern part of the county town, Wuhe raised his claws and began to pound the head of the gray eagle in front of him.

The Yatagarasu shikigami fusion, combined with the epic set, almost cracked the head of the gray eagle.

Boo!

The gray eagle cried out loudly, its eyes filled with arrogance and anger.

The Pei family's falconry, while not as large as the Liang royal family's, was still quite impressive. The thousands of falcons were even more valuable than fine horses. To raise falcons, one had to outlast them, eventually defeating the falcon king and then helping the king control the flock, which would allow for a relative increase in their numbers.

Wuhe has already conquered the Nine-Headed Eagle King, and is only missing this King of Kings. The Gray Eagle King has the strength of a Gold Elite and, with its aerial advantage, is stronger than other Second Realm experts, but it is no match for him.

“You’re so stubborn. Look back, your concubines have already abandoned you.”

The Grey Eagle King turned around, and the female eagles all looked away. He immediately showed an expression of disbelief, which was extremely human-like, and a trace of frustration appeared in his eagle eyes.

"If you are willing to surrender, I will only choose the one with the most beautiful feathers, and at most I will occasionally favor her. There will be no offspring."

Wuhe set his conditions, and unlike his complete lack of interest in humans, this time he took a liking to one of the "concubines" whose eyes were very pure and gentle.

A struggle that lasted for a long time.

The Grey Eagle King recalled all the glorious moments of his life, but in the end, he looked helplessly at the nests of eggs.

Boo!

"That's right, I'm not a bad bird either."

"We're still living and eating at Pei's place, using this as an excuse to do our bidding."

"Now take me to see the intelligence."

Wuhe had his eye on the intelligence gathered by the Pei family. By following his boss, he could move around freely on ordinary days.

The Pei family, a prominent clan, maintained a sophisticated intelligence system. These intelligence reports were stored centrally and heavily guarded, allowing the leaders to access them at any time while also serving as primary sources for their family's scholarship and history.

In front of the Eagle Field Secretariat, a regular heavy infantry unit of three hundred men was stationed at the camp. One of the Pei family's first-class retainers ate and slept here. Like the elders of the ten major sects, the first-class retainers of the great families were basically fourth-realm sub-heroes.

When the Eagle King and several cloud eagles returned carrying bamboo tubes of intelligence, the foot soldiers and first-class retainers, used to it, swarmed into the document room. In front of them were rows of sandalwood bookshelves, with dates, sources, and levels of importance clearly marked.

“Looking only at the Qingzhou area, from front to back.”

Wuhe is very fast at gathering intelligence; his ability system allows him to gain insight into the legion's members.

"The Provincial Governor of Qingzhou, the chief official of a prefecture, outwardly supports the eldest prince, but in reality, he is a member of the Pei family and the Crown Prince. Is he going to be a suicide bomber this time he comes to the capital?"

When a local official leads troops into the capital, and these are four thousand border cavalry, losing his head afterward is almost inevitable; it's practically no different from a rebellion.

Wuhe continued his investigation, his eyes narrowing.

"It turns out that the main purpose was to escort auspicious omens."

In the Dongyang region of Qingzhou, a seven-colored deer was born recently. Its life level was no different from that of an ordinary person, but it was extremely magnificent and beautiful. It was originally a method prepared by the Demonic Sect at great cost, because the woman who discovered the seven-colored deer was also stunningly beautiful.

Unfortunately, the governor of Qingzhou was ruthless and sent men to kill all the discoverers, including the beautiful woman among them. He completely disrupted the Demonic Sect's plan to send the demon concubine to the palace and even took the Seven-Colored Deer for himself.

Without the 4,000 iron cavalry accompanying him, this governor would never have made it to the capital alive, much to the chagrin of the Sun Moon Demonic Sect.

"The General of Dengfeng's Petition for Mercy..."

Wuhe continued his investigation, his expression gradually becoming serious.

This general was a former subordinate of the Prince of Pingxi, but he valued the Southern Liang more. Over the years, he had been ostracized and sidelined by the Pei family and the civil officials of Qingzhou, but he had the pride of a military general and never bowed his head.

But this time they really couldn't hold on any longer. Without the emperor's decree and the Ministry of War's order, Pei's cavalry commander privately led four thousand cavalrymen to accompany the Qingzhou governor to the capital. The latter had the protection of a seven-colored deer. When the matter is investigated, it is self-evident who will take the blame.

The garrison commander of Dengfeng submitted a letter of appeal yesterday, with unprecedented humility in its wording, which is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of the entire clan.

No reply?

Wuhe was shocked to discover that the letter of appeal had not been opened before he had read it.

"Recently, Pei Weidao has been in charge. He attempted to assassinate the eldest son yesterday but died. The family head, Pei Yuye, has temporarily taken charge and is planning the beheading of the Grand Master. He's probably busy with the Yong Prince's mansion siding with the Crown Prince now..."

Wuhe's expression shifted slightly.

Regarding the petition for leniency, since it came from a second-rank general, very few people in the Pei family were qualified to review it. Pei Weidao should have known about this matter, but in the face of a plot to assassinate the Prince of Yong, a letter from a general who had no real power was still non-military information and its contents were worthless.

His father, Pei Yuye, probably didn't know, after all, the eldest son in charge had just died last night, and there were a lot of urgent matters to attend to, such as funerals, choosing sides, and mobilizing troops. As for handing over letters and intelligence, it would take at least more than a day, and there had to be a priority in handling things.

But the commander-in-chief of Dengfeng would not think so.

From the other side's perspective, he abandoned his dignity to hand over a letter of plea for mercy, but the next morning, the Pei family openly mobilized infantry and cavalry to surround and kill the Grand Master. The adjutant general still treated his commander as nothing and did not respond at all until the end.

"Isn't this pushing people to their deaths?"

Instead of feeling annoyed, Wuhe became excited.

Instinct told him that this was the call to war.

……

Oh oh oh!

The heavy and distant bugle call resounded over Dengfeng City.

To the north of the city, ten thousand Northern Wei cavalry swept across the land.

The thousand cavalrymen at the forefront were fierce and imposing, each one tall and strong, wearing top-grade Yang steel armor, and all possessing the combat strength of the second realm.

Faced with the surprise attack by the Northern Wei army, Dengfeng City immediately lit the beacon fires, but before the officers could discuss countermeasures, the sturdy city gates inexplicably opened.

The Dengfeng soldiers inside were completely unprepared, because the Qingzhou Provincial Governor had taken away 4,000 of the 6,000 cavalrymen, and the siege of the Grand Master had also resulted in significant losses. The remaining cavalrymen were simply unable to leave the city and charge, thus failing to buy time for their side.

Ten thousand cavalrymen stormed into Dengfeng City, with the elite iron cavalry at the head of the charge directly crushing the military camp in the north of the city. These cavalrymen belonged to the Northern Wei royal family and were composed of carefully selected warriors.

As war broke out, the enemy troops rode their horses and engaged in widespread burning and killing.

Twenty thousand Northern Wei infantrymen followed closely behind.

In the inferno of the military camp, a cavalryman swung his sword and beheaded a fleeing soldier. With his other hand, he threw his lance, which flew through the air and killed two soldiers on the ground. His movements were swift and decisive.

"Surrender without killing!"

Kneel down and you won't be killed!

"Disarm and you will not be killed!"

Dengfeng fell.

On the city wall, an elder of the Demonic Sect, dressed in a black robe embroidered with the sun and moon emblems, sniffed the smoke of war and laughed:

"I've often heard that the General is struggling to move forward in this trapped place, but I never expected that he would actually be able to open the city gate."

The Dengfeng garrison commander turned around coldly. This was not a compliment, but an insult. He was the garrison commander who should have been the only one who had the final say in this area.

"If even the city gates can't be opened, then I have no right to be sidelined by the Pei family. As for you, why bother getting involved in this mess?"

The elder of the Demonic Sect's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister grin. "The Governor of Qingzhou is utterly arrogant. If we don't slaughter several cities, he'll truly live a life of wealth and honor. Qingzhou is in chaos, yet the governor is nowhere to be found. I wonder how many heads he has to neglect his duties. The General's surrender this time was a brilliant move."

The Dengfeng general was speechless. He surrendered to the Northern Wei because he had no other choice but to seek revenge against the Pei family. If he could also settle scores with the Qingzhou provincial governor, that would be even better.

"Looking at it this way, it seems we've known each other for a long time."

"More than that, they're practically like brothers."

The two reconciled and stopped being at odds.

Because on the road outside the city, a burly man in golden armor was slowly riding into the city, surrounded by a cloud of experts and a retinue of personal guards.

"General Hou, the commander of Licheng," the elder of the Demonic Sect murmured, "but he is not qualified to command the Baibao Iron Cavalry. A nobleman from Northern Wei has arrived in Licheng to the north."

Suddenly, the Dengfeng garrison commander leaned forward, bracing himself against the battlements with both hands as he peered out, a look of astonishment on his face.

"One hundred experts at the third realm?"

The Three Realms of Profound Enlightenment are typically a match for a hundred men, representing the pinnacle of the Golden Realm.

In the martial arts world, such a person would be influential enough to be the leader of a medium-sized sect in a prefecture.

The sheer scale of the operation astonished the Dengfeng garrison commander; even the Crown Prince's daily travels were not always so extravagant.

"Judging from their appearance, they are newly recruited martial artists." The elder of the Demonic Sect observed carefully. Although these people were powerful, their marching formation was still somewhat loose. They would not have performed like this even after two years of military service.

The ground outside the city.

The leader of the Sharpshooter Adventurer Group was full of vigor. He wore a tiger-face mask and carried a long sword carved with dragons that gleamed coldly.

"When you're out in the game, the most important thing is to follow the right people."

"But brothers, don't be careless. When you go into the city to burn and kill, be careful to conserve your energy. Don't end up like yesterday, lying on the ground and embarrassing yourselves."

"The commander is wise!"

"The commander is wise!"
