I'm the villain in the book

With a shout, a man in black armor swung a knife and blocked the fatal blow for his companion.

The latter's reaction speed was also very fast, and before he had time to thank him, he stepped forward and approached the Daning soldier who was attacking him, and he couldn't help but chop him off with a single blow.

The Daning soldier hurriedly raised his knife to block it, but when he saw the eyes of the man surnamed Bai, his movements froze for a moment.

Fighting between warriors, a slight difference can lead to a huge difference, and a moment of distraction can determine life and death.

"Crack!"

"Pfft!!"

The Bailian saber cut through the helmet, and continued downward with incomparable power, until the person under the sword was cut in half alive.

This scene was undoubtedly extremely bloody. If ordinary people saw it, most of them would be so frightened that they would collapse on the ground.

But now no one had that reaction, no one even looked at the dead pawn.

In war, the death of an ordinary soldier is never a matter of indifference.

Even if these people are also sons, husbands, and fathers... they are also the pillars of each family.

"Clang clang clang!"

Behind him, the golden gong that symbolized the withdrawal of troops sounded suddenly, which also meant that this tentative siege battle had come to an end for the time being.

The soldiers in this area turned around and jumped down the city wall one after another. Some were able to get out of the battle quickly, and some failed to escape the weapons and arrows attacking from behind, and regrettably died in the process of retreating.

"Brother Bai, our brothers are really lucky this time!"

Under the city wall of Yuanzhou, the two big soldiers rushed towards the stretch of military tents in the distance just now, expressing their emotions for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

"I never expected that I would be assigned to the vanguard army. It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

"Huh? Brother Bai, if I remember correctly, you used to work as a watchman, right?"

"What a good job! The salary is generous and prestigious! Why did you come to be a soldier?"

"Could it be that he offended some important person?"

"..."

The talking man might be a bit of a chatterbox, beeping endlessly along the way.

And the "beating men" in his mouth is not really hitting men, but the intelligence organization of the Dafeng imperial family, which is smaller than the Xuanjing Division and has relatively single responsibilities.

"Brother Li..."

Unlike the man, this soldier surnamed Bai, who used to be a watchman, was much more taciturn, and only answered with a smile when faced with a bunch of questions.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue just now."

"Hahahaha! What is this..."

After the man laughed a few times, he was indeed led astray, and the few unanswered questions just now were all forgotten.

He only thought that the little brother beside him was a poor bastard whose official career was not going well, but he didn't know that even if he didn't help him just now, the latter would be fine.

The man didn't even know that the latter hadn't offended any big shots at all, but asked to be transferred to the army on his own initiative, and thus was able to participate in this national war.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Where the two passed by, countless black shadows that only one of them could see shot towards the man surnamed Bai from the corpses strewn across the field, and then submerged into a small bronze mirror that the latter hid in his arms.

Every shadow is the soul of a dead person.

May I ask where are the most fresh corpses?

In the country of Dafeng, the second place is undoubtedly the Dachang Yamen, and the first place...that is definitely the battlefield.

This is the reason why the man surnamed Bai appeared here.

[9: Dafeng Dynasty, Tonggong Beaten, Bai Youheng]

The way of ghosts and evil.

Chapter 256 The Remnant Soul in the Xuantian Sword

"Prepare the ordnance!"

"The Chinese army advances five miles!"

"Contain the corpse!"

"Attack the city again in a quarter of an hour!"

"..."

The voice of the herald echoed in the military camp stretching for several miles in Dafeng. Tens of thousands of soldiers had already lined up, ready to attack Yuanzhou City for the second time.

The two attacks were separated by less than half an hour. It felt as if the withdrawal of troops in the middle was unnecessary, and instead gave the defenders a chance to breathe.

But in fact, in the offensive and defensive battles from ancient times to the present, there has never been a single brain to finish the last soldier.

Attacking in batches can not only effectively adjust the focus of the attack in a timely manner according to the enemy's situation, but also keep the internal strength and physical fitness of the attacking soldiers at their peak all the time through rotation.

For example, now, the first batch of withdrawn soldiers has begun to heal and rest, and the soldiers who attacked for the second time have been replaced by fresh troops who did not enter the battlefield before.

"..."

"Brother Bai, if there is no accident, we should have nothing to do today."

In a certain military tent, the big man stuffed a few pills into his mouth, closed his eyes to feel the power of the medicine, and chattered endlessly.

"After this battle is over, no matter how I can get a half-job in the army, I'm not greedy, as long as I have a general banner."

"Brother Bai, as for whether you are sure or not, you will be transferred back to the watchman. Don't forget about me when the time comes."

"It's rare for us brothers to have a relationship, and now we have a lifelong friendship."

"Of course, the premise is that we can live."

"I don't think it's a big problem, we both look like fateful people."

"Brother Bai, are you right..."

"Huh? Brother Bai?"

The man opened his eyes suspiciously, only to realize that there was nothing around him at some point.

"What about people?"

He muttered something to himself, and another soldier in the tent was afraid that he would continue to think about it, so he quickly explained:

"Bai Youheng went to collect the corpse."

"what?"

The big man froze for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.

Containing corpses does not count military merits, and it is still dangerous. The only advantage may be to accumulate some evil virtues.

But these people can't guarantee that they will become corpses tomorrow, so what's the use of accumulating such virtue?

I don't know why Brother Bai is so active.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's weird who comes out of the watchdog...

The big man sighed secretly and stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and continued to recover his internal strength.

But at this time, Bai Youheng had already returned to the mountain of corpses in the sea of ​​blood under the city of Yuanzhou, and with every step he took, the souls of the dead were collected into the small bronze mirror in his arms.

"Two thousand 320 eight, two thousand 320 nine..."

It has been more than half a year since I got this bronze mirror, but the souls collected in such a long time ago are not as many as today's two hours.

His dark eyes were as dead as an abyss, Bai Youheng licked his lips, and raised his eyes greedily to Yuanzhou City not far away.

"Still slow..."

......

A quarter of an hour later, the second attack started as scheduled amid the sound of rumbling drums.

The spies of various forces in Yuanzhou City have already gone out of the city to report the news during the break of the truce, and a piece of mother-of-pearl jade in the Ministry of War in the capital also became hot at the beginning of the war. The news that "Dafeng has begun to attack the city" is probably already Send it to Ning Yongnian.

But Wei Changtian, who was far away in Shuzhou, didn't know about it.

It's not that the intelligence capabilities of Xuanjingsi or the Tongzhouhui are poor, but Chu Xianping even learned of this information earlier than Ning Yongnian.

It's just that Chu Xianping has no way to tell Wei Changtian about this for the time being.

"..."

"Wei, Mr. Wei, as long as I finish this matter... will you really pardon the villain's capital crime?"

In the dark room, a skinny man knelt on the ground trembling, with a long black sword stuck in front of him.

"Naturally, I always keep my word."

Wei Changtian nodded calmly: "You just have to do what I said just now, and I will definitely forgive your sins after it's done."

"But, but..."

The thin man hesitated: "But this matter will take away, take away 30 years of the villain's life..."

"Ha ha."

Wei Changtian sneered: "You are a death row prisoner. If you don't do what I say, you will die immediately. Then you won't be able to live another day."

"And if you do this, even if you lose 30 years of life, you still have at least a few years left to live."

"You still don't understand this account?"

"..."

The Xuantian Sword glowed with a gloomy black glow, and the thin man struggled silently for a while, the desire for life in his heart finally overwhelmed the fear of the unknown.

"Old, I did it!"

As if trying to cheer himself up, he let out a low growl and then bit the tip of his tongue, spewing out blood on the Xuantian Sword with a "poof".

Shakingly stretched out his hand to press the hilt of the sword, the internal force gradually extended along the subtle lines on the sword body until it spread to the entire blade...

The thin man's already dry and rough hair began to turn white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wrinkles on his face gradually appeared and became clear.

Wei Changtian just watched all this calmly, until Xuantian Sword suddenly let out a long cry.

"Zheng!"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

"Boy, it's been more than half a year and you...huh?"

The treacherous and old voice stopped abruptly, as if a little surprised.

But the thin man was startled by the sudden sound, fell to the ground, and looked at Wei Changtian in horror.

"Wei, Mr. Wei, this, this..."

"Well, it looks like..."

Wei Changtian smacked his lips and took a step closer: "It seems to be done."

"It's done, it's done?"

The thin man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and the fear in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He craned his neck tremblingly, as if he was waiting for Wei Changtian to fulfill his previous promise.

But in the end, he only waited for the end of a decapitated person.

"Pfft!"

"Curachi!"

It seems that a knife has been drawn, but it seems that there has been no knife.

When Wei Changtian gently returned the Luying Knife to its sheath, a head with wide-eyed eyes also slipped to the ground quietly.

Obviously, Wei Changtian once again backtracked and did not keep his promise.

As for the reason...

Human traffickers are unforgivable.
