Northern Hungary is a general term for a series of alien races living outside the Great Wall in the north of the Zhendan Empire.

The Southern Barbarians usually refer to the mountain tribes in the mountains southwest of the empire.

Although they are divided into different regions and have very different living environments, their common characteristics are cruel and bloodthirsty, barbaric and backward, and their disobedience to be king. This is a problem that the Zhendan Empire has not been completely solved for thousands of years.

In contrast, if the Southern Barbarian Mountains are minor illnesses, the Northern Hungarians are harmful.

Because the mountain people of the Southern Barbarians were just a little more barbaric, the biggest reason why they resisted the Empire was that they did not want to pay taxes or were ruled by the Central Plains. As long as the Empire did not actively send people to collect taxes, they almost never stepped out of the mountains and forests. The rich resources between the mountains and forests allowed them to be self-sufficient. Moreover, they had never established their own country name, but were only called by many mountain tribes.

However, the Northern Hungary is completely different. The living environment north of the Great Wall is far from that of the Central Plains. Not only is the external environment there extremely harshly, there are countless monsters and monsters, but the most important thing is the violent and evil spirit of the heaven and earth.

Not only is it unfavorable for humans, but even for demons, it is not a good place.

Because the violent spiritual energy will often make demons fall into devils and become crazy during the cultivation process. As for ordinary mortals who cannot control spiritual energy, their appearance will even change.

If it was just a minor problem such as three ears and six fingers at the beginning, but after thousands of years, it was constantly intoxicated by mutated spiritual energy, coupled with intermarriage between them, the appearance of the Northern Hungarian tribe has become more and more exaggerated. Although they are generally human-shaped, it is not uncommon for Northern Hungarians with two heads and four arms and tails behind them.

Although they are called humans, they are actually far more like demons than war tigers.

Moreover, all the Northern Huns who survived in that special environment developed a cruel and bloodthirsty personality, who did not want to survive.

When a father dies and a son marrys his mother, when a brother dies, his wife accepts him. In some places, even the meat of the deceased is distributed to other members of the family for consumption, which is called burial, etc. This series of traditions and habits are of course not accepted by the people of the Central Plains who abide by etiquette and law.

In addition, because the Northern Huns were unable to withstand the cold cold areas outside the border, they always wanted to go south and occupy the rich territory of the Central Plains. So every few decades, when many Northern Huns tribes gave birth to leaders after the melee? Or had their population reached a certain level? The outside of the border could no longer support them, they would launch a large-scale invasion.

Once they broke through the pass, they would burn, kill, loot? They would do everything evil, and all the affected northern towns were turned into ruins? Until the invaders were completely wiped out by the imperial army.

Over the past thousands of years, the two sides have accumulated countless blood debts. Now, once they meet, they will definitely be divided into life and death.

Fortunately, a generation of Dragon Emperor had a far-sighted vision and built a Great Wall that stretched for thousands of miles, protected the north of the Zhendan Empire, and sent large troops to station it. This allowed many towns on the northern border of the empire to get a breather.

But it's just a breather.

Although the Great Wall is almost indestructible? The empire's military strength is limited. The Northern Huns could invade from any weak location, but the empire's army could only respond to the battle after receiving the alarm. This made them extremely passive. Once the Northern Huns seized the opportunity, several towns would always suffer.

The reason why Li Wei was so surprised was because as far as he knew? It was only three years since the last large-scale invasion of the Northern Huns? The population of the Northern Huns could not recover in such a short time to support them in a large-scale invasion of the south.

Moreover, the mountain people of the Nanman have always been at peace with themselves? They also know that they are all relying on the geographical advantage? They can barely maintain this strange balance with the empire? Once they take the initiative to step out of the mountains and forests, the only thing waiting for them is death, because their overall strength is too far from that of the empire.

In fact, this is not without precedent. Whether it is a certain emperor who suddenly had a whim to solve the problem that has always troubled the empire, or the leader of a mountain tribe who wants to get more, the end of waiting for them will be only one outcome.

That is, the population of the entire southern barbarian land was sharply reduced during the subsequent conquests of the empire, and in the end they had to hand over a large amount of sacrifices to pray for temporary peace.

Although the imperial emperors claim to be the supreme country of the Celestial Empire and are magnanimous, and the mountains and forests of the Nanman are full of swamps and poisonous lands, and they are of no use to occupy them, they usually end up with their prayers, but this thankless thing is enough to do a few times.

So far, there have been no similar foolish mountain civil leaders in nearly a thousand years. In recent years, with the rise of Buddhist and Taoist sects and martial arts people in the empire, the defense effect of the complex mountain forest environment of the Southern Barbarians has gradually weakened. The swamp can withstand the army, but it cannot stop small-scale martial arts people, and it is even more difficult to resist cultivators.

Due to this form, there were already relatively smart mountain tribes who began to take the initiative to pay tribute.

As for the fact that the demon king raises troops to rebel, it is not uncommon. It always happens every few years, but many demon kings in different regions rebelled almost at the same time, which is very unusual.

And when all three things come together, no matter how stupid a person is, he will not think that this is really a coincidence!

Li Wei returned the letter to Wang Xiaowei, who then handed it to Qing Fengzi because there was not only this information, but also a formal appointment of General Ying Yan and arrangements for the two sects.

Although they are Buddhists and Taoist sects, they live in the secular world and need to be dispatched by the empire to a certain extent. Otherwise, it would not be a big deal to destroy a sect under the imperial order.

Qing Fengzi was a little confused at first, so she didn't know why Wang Xiaowei gave him the letter, but after reading it, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly threw it to the monks of Jinling Temple.

After seeing this, the monks were even more shocked. Compared to Wang Xiaowei and others who were barely calm, they couldn't help but scream.

"How is it possible? Only three years have passed, where did the Northern Hungarians get so many troops?"

"Didn't the Southern Barbarians have already bowed their heads and surrendered? How dare they?"

Only Qing Fengzi calmed down and bowed to Li Wei and Wang Xiaomai: "I will obey the general's order and return to Cangfeng Gate with the ship to wait for the general's dispatch. As for Changqingdao, I will have to worry about Wang Xiaomai and Taoist Master Ziwei. No, now it's time to call you the magistrate Li County."

That's right, in addition to those three things, General Ying Yan also had to transfer the people of Cangfengmen and Jinling Temple on the island back to Fuhang. He probably knew that this move was like cutting off the firewood from the bottom of a pot, so General Ying Yan also conveyed an appointment from the court.

That is, Li Wei ordered Ye Qing, who died in battle, to be the magistrate of Changqingdao County, to rule the entire situation, and to allow him to build a Ziwei Temple in all villages in the county, and Wang Xiaowei and Zhan Hu were responsible for assisting the war.

His only requirement was to keep Changqing County and Niujia Village. As for other villages, he only said to try his best to protect them, because after encountering such a thing, they would not even get any reinforcements from Fuhang in a short time.

Even on the ship that came this time, except for some food, there were only a few cannons and hundreds of excellent armor and weapons, and there was not a single extra soldier.

And this short period of time is likely to be several years, because every Northern Hungarian invasion is not a war that can end in a few months, not to mention that the Southern Barbarians and many demon kings have raised troops at the same time.

The monks of Jinling Temple soon came to congratulate him. In less than half a month, the other party changed from a hidden Taoist priest to a county magistrate in charge of tens of thousands of military and civilians. The promotion speed was amazingly fast. General Ying Yan was so optimistic about him, so it was absolutely true that Dulala's relationship was absolutely true.

And because of General Ying Yan's order, they no longer showed any excessive hostility towards Zhan Hu standing next to Li Wei. Of course, don't expect them to take the initiative to say hello or apologize, that's impossible.

Zhan Hu also groaned, turned his head away, and was not upset when he saw it.

After a lot of noise, everyone dispersed, packed their bags and prepared to return to Fuhang. However, compared to the high fighting spirit at the beginning, they were now very depressed. They were not worried about the country and the people because of the information they just received, but because of the strong strength of the many demon kings on the island, they really put too much pressure on them.

They usually claim to be elites in their respective sects, but when they really face the Demon King, their performance was not much better than ordinary soldiers. With a casual blow from the Demon King, they were either seriously injured or killed on the spot.

Although it lasted for less than half a month of battle, they had killed and injured too many of their companions. Even the powerful Jinling Temple, after suffering consecutive setbacks, was already a little damaged.

Qing Fengzi fell behind secretly. While others were not paying attention, he quickly left a few words: "Master Ziwei, when I return to Fuhang, I will definitely tell the leader about the pros and cons. If you and I work together, they will definitely defeat Jinling Temple!"

Li Wei nodded naturally, but at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When is it? Are you still thinking about Jinling Temple?

If the old boy said it was true at the beginning, the whole world would soon face attacks from voices. The current chaotic situation may not be without their actions!

After everyone dispersed, Captain Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I never expected that things would end up like this. If it weren't for the powerful killing of the Ghost King of Ziwei, the situation at present would probably be even worse."

Although he never looked down on the Buddha and Taoism in his heart, Wang Xiaowei also knew in his heart that whether it was the monks or the Taoist priests, their average strength was far better than that of ordinary soldiers. Even if they were not very obedient in normal times, as long as they assisted in defense, Niujia Village would definitely be much more stable.

Unfortunately, they are all leaving now. If they encounter large-scale invasion of demons next time, he can only use the lives of the soldiers under his command to fill the gap in combat power.

"Yes, but although the situation is not optimistic, at least we have solved a major problem."

Of course, Li Wei could understand this truth, but their departure was not entirely a disadvantage. At least Yingtian and Suzuka who remained in Zhangjia Village had a chance to take action.

Wang Zhengwei felt even more headache when he heard this: "When the general wrote this letter, he probably wouldn't have thought that the situation on the island changed so quickly. The Black Wind King and the Hunter Bee Queen each grabbed several demon kings and started a fight for a little honey. They would be better able to kill each other and die together, which would save us trouble."

"Indeed, that would be the ideal situation. But now we don't know how long the battle between them will last, so we still need to prepare in advance."

Li Wei knew that the lieutenant Wang was just so casual that the monsters who could grow into demon kings could almost be truly fools. At least when their lives were threatened, they would definitely not be fools.

When Li Wei said this, Wang Xiaowei immediately knew that the other party had a plan in his mind: "Oh, let's go out?"

Li Wei chuckled and shook his head. Wang Xiaowei must have listened to storytelling too much. He wouldn't be so literary.

"It's not a plan, it's just some arrangements."

“First of all, I will build the Ziwei Temple in all villages. With the help of the star soldiers and generals, the defense of each village will be strengthened;

Secondly, we need to send some soldiers to station in villages near Heifeng Mountain and Cuiyulin, not to kill the enemies, but to reconnaise the movements of many demon kings. Once they no longer continue to fight with each other, we must be prepared for battle;

Finally, I will dispatch my subordinates to lead the team to sweep away the other monster forces on the island. As for Wang Ziwei and the Zhanhu brothers, it is better to guard the county and Niujia Village as the first priority."

If they are eager to attack the demon kings on both sides now, they cannot share the same hatred of the enemy. Many demon kings will immediately join forces to deal with themselves. However, if they only attack those idle monsters who have not surrendered to the demon kings on both sides, they will most likely not take the initiative to attack at this critical moment.

Whether it is the growth of the star generals or the accumulation of faith in the temple, it takes time. The longer the time is, the more beneficial it will be to oneself.

Wang Xiaowei nodded immediately after hearing this, but he didn't know whether he really understood Li Wei's intentions, or flattered him, or heard that he didn't have to take too much risk, so he agreed.

But no matter what, with him cooperating next to him, Li Wei's next work will be much smoother, after all, he is in charge of thousands of elite soldiers.

He looked at the newly appeared knight who was holding a war horse and wrapped in armor. Captain Wang didn't say much, but just accused Li Wei of guilt, and then went down to arrange defenses on his own.

Li Wei knew that he must have seen some unusual things on the ghost rider. After all, he is also a veteran with decades of combat experience. However, since he didn't mention it here, it means that he decided to pretend to be unaware of it, and Li Wei naturally would not speak out at this time.

After letting most of his subordinates go to rest, Li Wei left behind Youbixing and Ye Qing alone, asking about what had happened before.

"Sir, the construction of the county temple is very smooth and will be completed soon. Moreover, the common people there are also very welcome to the Arctic Ziwei, because before that, there were almost no Buddhist or Taoist sects in Changqingdao to spread their faith, and they still did not receive any faith in worship."

At present, the ultimate goal of most sects in the empire is to collect worship, that is, money.

However, the supplies on Changqingdao are too scarce, and the civilians here cannot provide much sacrifice. Instead, there will be demons attacks from time to time, which is very dangerous. Moreover, it will cost a lot of money to travel from Fuhang to Changqingdao alone.

Therefore, spreading faith here is a matter of not worth the effort in the eyes of many sects, which directly leads to the fact that there is no serious Taoist temple or temple in the county so far, which is cheaper to Li Wei.

Youbixing also revealed his new information: "Sir, after several days of hard work, I have learned the Necrotic Retreatment Technique and successfully cast it several times before. This spell is extremely harmful to ghosts, but it has almost no effect on monsters or humans."

If it weren't for this spell, he wouldn't have been able to go up several levels.

"I understand. Even so, don't slack off. I believe we will soon have time to use this spell. After the Ghost King died, the demon king Liu Zhu seemed to have broken free from some constraints. It may not be safe."

Of course, Li Wei would not not ignore the growth of Youbi Star, but unfortunately he was probably born with a support life. After several levels, all the skills he obtained were auxiliary skills, strengthening attacks, defenses, etc.

“It’s a pity that I failed to see it die with my own eyes.”

Ye Qing seemed a little unwilling because he suffered the first crushing defeat in his life in the Ghost King.

"If you are in the past, let them go. Now, in addition to the two demon kings, we have more important things to do. But before that, I will introduce you to a new companion, Ghost Rider!"

"The last one will be here!"

The ghost rider responded with silence, then took off its fully covered sealed helmet, revealing the face of a determined young man below.

Looking at his ghostly fire-like eyes and translucent body, Youbixing and Ye Qing both knew the other party’s race. It was undoubtedly a ghost race!

Even Youbixing, who has always been calm, felt a little surprised. However, like Ye Qing, they did not issue any objection. In any case, as subordinates, they would only obey Lord Xingjun's orders.

"Then the matter of governing Changqing County and major villages will be left to you two to take charge. The Ghost Rider and I have to do other things, that is, to explore the world on the other side of Rashomon!"
