Yue will be the Northern Territory, the barbarian lands will be the Southern Territory, Daliang will be the Eastern Territory, and Dazhou will be the Western Territory."Five directions vast domain!Up...The next day.

Shen Changqing woke up early, just as he was about to bid farewell to Zhongchi, the other party knocked on his door first.

Open the door.

Just then, I saw Zhong Chi's expression was very solemn.

After letting the other person in, Shen Changqing closed the door again.

The two sat down.

Shen Changqing looked at the solemn Zhong Chi in front of him, and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Lord Zhong, your expression is so grave. Could something have happened"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Two days ago, the barbarians attacked Dahuang Prefecture. Several cities were breached, tens of thousands of soldiers died in battle. Now the barbarians have occupied the gates of Dahuang Prefecture and are marching north towards Jin City!"

Zhong Chi's voice was solemn, his words causing one's complexion to change.

Even Shen Changqing's originally calm face couldn't remain composed.

Before coming to the Great Desolation Mansion, he had some understanding of the situation there.

So-called portals.

is a fortress town guarding the border of the Great Desolate Prefecture. It is where the military forces of the Great Desolate Prefecture are concentrated, with the purpose of defending against barbarian tribes.

There is a gate here.

Even if barbarians invaded the Great Wilderness Mansion, they would not dare to venture too deep.

If the Qin Dynasty cut off their retreat, all the barbarians who ventured deep into the Great Wilderness Mansion would have only one path: death.

Therefore.

As long as those few cities remain, even if the barbarians enter the Dahara Prefecture, they would not dare to be too rampant.

But once the gate is breached, the consequences are easy to imagine.

Before Shen Changqing could speak.

Zhongchi continued, "At the same time, demonic creatures were wreaking havoc throughout the Great Desolate Prefecture. Rarely seen evil spirits of the Sha level appeared one after another, forcing the strongest figures from the three Demon Suppression Institutes to come forward, all in an effort to suppress these demons."

Inside, demons wreak havoc, while outside, barbarian hordes attack.

Now, the Great Wilderness Mansion finds itself in a very dire situation.

When he finished speaking, Shen Changqing frowned: "The timing of the demon's rampage and the barbarian invasion is so coincidental. Could they have colluded"

"Not bad!"

Zhong Chi nodded.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“The Barbarians have allied with the Eternal Alliance. We've been kept in the dark about this all along. The Eternal Alliance has instigated demons to cause chaos, giving the Barbarians the opportunity to attack Dahua Mansion.”

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As expected!

Shen Changqing secretly thought to himself, then looked towards Zhongchi.

"Lord Zhong, are you here to ask me to stay"

When Zhong Chi heard this, he took a deep breath.

Looking at Shen Changqing's face, he was also unprecedentedly serious.

“I understand what Shen Da Ren's mission is this time. Now that the Eternal Alliance's stronghold in Jin City has been temporarily removed, it should be returning to the Demon Suppression Division to report.”

However, demonic creatures from the Everlasting Alliance are still lurking in the city. I hope that Mr. Shen will stay and help eliminate them.

I will report this truthfully to the National Demon Suppression Bureau. When the time comes, the rewards for completing the mission will definitely not be lacking.

Moreover, I beg Lord Shen to consider the many people of Jin City and to remain here to lend a helping hand!

That's all.

Zhong Chi stood up and bowed deeply.

This is a test.

Barbaric armies surged in, and it wouldn't be long before the city of Jin faced a military disaster.

Although the city is garrisoned by the Black Tiger Army, it seems that having one more Shen Changqing or one less Shen Changqing doesn't make much difference.

But things aren't calculated that way.

With Shen Changqing's strength, he is almost considered the strongest in Jin City.

There is someone else here.

At the very least, it's capable of dealing with demons.

If the other party leaves, the Black Tiger Army will have to deal with both the barbarians and the demons within the city. They won't be able to tend to both ends at once, and things will become very complicated.

After a long silence.

Shen Changqing spoke slowly.

"I can stay in Jin City, that's not a problem. But if the barbarians really do launch a full-scale attack, with just twelve thousand Black Tiger Army, there's no way to hold them back. Tian Cha Wei, do you have any other news"

"What is the court's stance on this matter"

>“The incident happened suddenly, and the news hadn't reached the Central Plains. If we wanted reinforcements from the imperial court, it would be impossible in the short term. Now, the only option is to gather the existing army of Dahuang Prefecture and suppress the barbarians, delaying time and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court.”

It's a pity that nowadays demons and monsters are rampant everywhere, and even the powerful masters of the Demon Suppression Division can't spare their hands to help.

"Otherwise, with the powerful warriors from the Demon Suppression Department joining our army, we would have a great advantage."

Zhong Chi spoke in a deep voice.

The strong fighters of the Demon Suppressing Division he spoke of were naturally not those apprentice demon hunters and yellow-ranked demon hunters.

A large-scale army battle.

Unless one reaches the innate realm, they are no different from an ordinary soldier.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even a congenital martial artist, capable of withstanding ambushes from hidden arrows, would be doomed once caught in the midst of a battlefield.

Only masters and above can exert their full strength in a great battle.

This is a test.

To face hundreds or even thousands with just one is not a problem.

Even.

Some strong people are capable of doing more.

The Zhen Mo Si, strictly speaking, is both a tool for the Qin Dynasty to deal with demons and a means to lay a solid foundation for the dynasty and gain an advantage in foreign wars.

Hearing this.

Shen Changqing nodded.

“I can stay, but I also hope that Lord Zhong truthfully reports to the Demon Suppression Division.”

No problem.

The solemn expression on Zhongchi's face eased a bit.

The fact that the other party agreed to stay is undoubtedly a good thing.

“Yesterday night, demons attacked the yamen and many people died. It is said that Nie Xu Yun cultivates righteous qi and defeated the attacking demons. If Lord Shen has time, he could go to the yamen and have a look.”

"I still have a lot of things to take care of, so I won't disturb you."

After finishing, Zhongchi got up and left, leaving Shen Changqing sitting there.

“Magnanimous righteousness!”

He recalled what Zhongchi had just said.

As for noble righteousness.

To be honest.

Shen Changqing had only heard of it, but he had never truly experienced it.

What he didn't expect was that Nie Xu, a county magistrate born as a mere scholar, could actually cultivate the righteous indignation to slay demons.

You know.

Ho Ran's righteous qi can subdue demons, but not everyone is capable of cultivating it.

Suppress the shock deep within.

Shen Changqing's mind turned, and he thought of other things again.

This is a test.

The barbarian attack.

The Great Wilderness Mansion is plagued by demonic disturbances.

>

Although the situation is not completely dire, it certainly won't be getting any better.

He had originally planned to return directly to the Demon Suppression Division today, but Zhongchi's persuasion ultimately dissuaded him from going back.

It's not hard to guess from what they said.

...Further comments.

In Jincheng, demons and monsters are rampant.

To others, demons are a great threat, but to Shen Changqing, they are the biggest tonic.

Go back to the Demon Suppression Division.

...just take on new missions and then travel to other places to hunt down demons.

Staying in Jin City, I am also hunting down demons.

The difference is.

When not taking on tasks, there is a lack of merit rewards.

But if Zhong Chi reported the situation, then staying put in Jin City, Shen Changqing believed that the Demon Suppression Division would also give some compensation.

The compensation from the Demon Suppression Division would definitely not be small.

Even if he were given a few bottles of Tongmai Pills, he could sell them and earn a considerable amount of silver.

Now, every time I level up, it takes a lot of pills. In the future, the consumption will definitely be even greater.

the silver notes on his person.

It's really tough to keep going.

Suddenly.

Shen Changqing's ears twitched, he got up and pushed open the window, just in time to see a large number of Black Tiger soldiers appearing from the streets below.

An invisible aura of killing intent permeated the air.

Every commoner's face wore a solemn expression.

Some people's faces were even more flustered.

In the hushed murmurs of the common folk, Shen Changqing caught snippets about the barbarian tribes.

It is obvious.

The news that the barbarians were going to attack Jin City had already spread.

After closing the window again, Shen Changqing let out a sigh.

"What a busy time!"

Since I arrived at the Demon Suppression Bureau, demons have been running rampant throughout the Qin Dynasty, causing significant losses to our various branches.

Before the situation could settle, chaos once again erupted in the Dahuang Mansion.

This was Shen Changqing's first time feeling...

In a chaotic world, how difficult it is to achieve a peaceful and stable situation.

Left Tian Yilou.

He was walking down the street, and it was very obvious that the atmosphere among the common people was off.

Unlike the panic caused by rumors of demons and goblins, although some people panicked at the news of the barbarian invasion, most expressed indignation.

As for barbarians.

It seems like hatred outweighs fear.

Even Shen Changqing could hear the angry words of some commoners.

“Those damned barbarians are back! I wish the imperial court would send troops south and wipe them out!”

>

"Who said otherwise Year after year, the barbarians raid our Great Wilderness Prefecture, burning, killing, and plundering. They should have been wiped out long ago."

For the barbarians, the people of Jin City held a deep-seated hatred.

However.

>

Some people also have worried expressions.

"I heard that several cities, including Ningshan City, have already been captured by the barbarians. This time, the barbarian army's invasion of Dahuang Prefecture is completely different from previous ones. It remains to be seen whether the imperial court can withstand it."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

If we can't hold them back, our city will be in danger.

"Pass gas—"

As soon as the words were spoken, someone immediately shouted in anger.

> The Qin Dynasty ruled for over three hundred years. Which time wasn't it that the barbarian tribes fled in terror Every time barbarian tribes invaded Dayang Prefecture, they came with the determination to die. Although they plundered a lot of supplies, they left behind even more corpses.

If Ning Mountain and other cities fall, it only means that the barbarian forces are coming in full force.

With the vast reserves of the imperial court, how could we possibly be afraid of mere barbarians!

"Not bad!"

“If barbarians come, they will surely die without a burial place.”

I heard the chatter of the people around me.

Shen Changqing's heart couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought that the news of the barbarian attack would terrify the common people, but he didn't expect that the people of Jin City were also fierce. They had no excessive fear of the barbarians, but instead possessed a strong fighting spirit.

One can glimpse the whole picture by observing a small portion.

If one place in Jincheng is like this, other cities in the Dazhuang Prefecture will definitely not be much better.

“It seems that the barbarian raids of yore have caused great discontent among the people of Dahua Prefecture. Coupled with the heavy losses suffered by the barbarians when they invaded Dahua Prefecture in the past, the people of Dahua Prefecture are now full of confidence in the court.”

"In that case, it's a good thing."

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

Whether you win or lose, at least your spirit is no weaker than others, which can add a lot of advantages out of thin air.

>

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

I was thinking.

He didn't realize it, but he had already reached the yamen gate.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

A faint, sinister aura appeared in perception.

Wherever Shen Changqing's gaze fell, he could see bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned.

>eing held by the throat, my life hanging by a thread. This disparity is truly too great.But no matter what, the Holy Emperor could understand that his life and death now depended on how things develop...
