Chapter 14 Barbarian Invasion
"Wang, what exactly is going on?"

Compared to the furious generals, many priests were much calmer. A white-haired old man walked out and asked with a bow.

He is the barbarian chief priest who practices the laws of heaven. He is able to predict the fate of nations, comprehend heaven's secrets, turn misfortune into fortune, and roughly predict the direction of the future.

Within the barbarian tribe, he is the second most important person besides the barbarian king.

The Barbarian King explained: “Half a year ago, the reason why we defeated the Great Zhou and eliminated the Qin family and the Iron Killing Legion was mainly because the Great Zhou stabbed us in the back.

If you ask me, the human race knows how to play games. They act like brothers on the surface, but they are ruthless in their actions.

Not long ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed the only descendant of the Qin family to the Northern Territory and named him the King of Liang."

After hearing this, the high priest was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen of Great Zhou has no good intentions. She wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"I know!"

The Barbarian King waved his hand and said indifferently: "As long as we can destroy the Qin family and avenge our ancestors, what's wrong with being a knife for once?"

When he said this, a bloodshot light flashed in his eyes.

Nearly ten thousand years.

The barbarians launched hundreds of large-scale invasions on the Zhou Dynasty, all of which were repelled by the Qin family. At least five barbarian kings died directly or indirectly at the hands of the Qin family.

This is a feud, a hatred that is engraved in the bones.

Once he sits on the throne of the Barbarian King, he will inherit the honor and mission of his ancestors and completely destroy the Qin family.

"No!"

The high priest pinched his fingers, and the mysterious power of heaven flashed. He said in a deep voice: "The change of heaven's power is indeed a sign of great misfortune. We can't attack rashly!"

The Barbarian King’s smile faded, and he said calmly, “High Priest, you also said it was a disaster when we attacked Da Zhou last time, but what was the result?
Not only did we win, we also destroyed the Iron Kill Legion.

Everything depends on human effort, and the secrets of heaven are only auxiliary. Don't let the so-called secrets of heaven restrict your hands and feet and miss the opportunity. "

The high priest hesitated to speak.

"Send the order!"

The Barbarian King raised his head and looked at everyone, his eyes were fierce, and he ordered majestically: "Man Huyuan, you lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Northern Territory. Within two months, I will drink wine with Qin Qian's head."

"As ordered!"

Man Huyuan stepped out of the line and knelt on one knee.

The day.

One hundred thousand elite barbarians left the Pilgrimage City. With firm eyes, they brandished their weapons, released murderous aura, and embarked on a new journey.

They have received orders to eradicate the last remnants of the Qin family.

after this war.

Without the Qin family to protect the Great Zhou, they will be able to expand southwards and plunder more resources.

Then they enslaved the human race and used them as food.

"Must win!"

On the city wall, the Barbarian King and many high-ranking officials watched the army set out. He suddenly raised his battle axe and roared to the sky.

"Must win!"

"Must win!"

“We will win.”

Hearing the king's encouraging voice and remembering the generations of blood feud, the blood of the hundred thousand barbarian men boiled and they let out shocking shouts.

"The vast land, the iron-blooded journey, no one will be able to contain the barbarians from now on!"

The Barbarian King looked into the distance with a determined gaze and said to himself.

at the same time.

The atmosphere in the priest's courtyard was extremely solemn.

The high priest sat cross-legged on the star map, with seventy-two apprentices kneeling around him. A rich force of heaven's power emanated from his whole body.

The star map opens quietly.

Thousands of star shadows appeared, and each star represented a force.

Among them, the stars of the barbarians and the Great Zhou are the most dazzling and bright.

Compared with it, the other forces are like the gap between a firefly and the bright moon.

But soon, the high priest made a new discovery.

Between the barbarians and the Great Zhou Dynasty, a purple-gold star appeared without anyone noticing. Although it was still relatively small, the brilliance it emitted was so great that it overshadowed thousands of other stars.

"Is this King Liang?"

The high priest frowned and prepared to deduce carefully, but the next moment, his face changed suddenly, the blood in his body churned, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood.

The whole person seemed to have been drained of energy. He collapsed to the ground and fainted.

The backlash of the heavens! The other disciples who set up the formation were not much better, all of them vomited blood and flew backwards, listless.

Northern Territory.

Qin Qian was not clear about the plans of the imperial court and the barbarians.

He was having a headache at the moment.

That is.
There are not enough officials in the Northern Territory.

Before this, he was eager to control the Northern Territory, and took measures to kill all officials who were unwilling to submit.

This also led to an urgent shortage of officials in more than 20 cities, and the city lord's mansion became almost a decoration and could not function.

After careful consideration, Qin Qian decided to implement the imperial examination system.

He called Jia Xu to discuss the plan, and after confirming its feasibility, he issued an announcement to select talents from the forty-six cities in the Northern Territory. As long as they performed well in the exam, they could become officials regardless of their background.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the Northern Territory.

Many aspiring people rushed to sign up.

In just five days, more than 10,000 people took the exam.

For these people, Qin Qian decided to conduct three rounds of exams, and only keep the top 500 in the end.

In the first round of exams, five thousand people were eliminated.

In the second round of exams, four thousand people were eliminated.

The last thousand people entered the third round of examination, which is the interview.

At that time, Qin Qian will personally test these people, select the best 500 of them, and evaluate them into three levels: excellent, good, and medium. The best one can directly serve as the city lord.

After half a month of examinations, the top one thousand students arrived outside the Prince of Liang's Palace.

Then came some bad news.

The barbarians are sending out troops!

We have entered Yubei Pass!

This is an important pass on the border of the Northern Territory. Now that it has been breached, it means that the forty-six cities in the Northern Territory will be completely exposed to the barbarian cavalry.

"It came so quickly!"

Qin Qian looked at the information with a gloomy face.

Jia Xu stood by and reported: "This time, the barbarians dispatched 100,000 elite soldiers, who are very powerful. The weakest are in the Transcendent Realm. The leader is Man Huyuan, a warrior in the early stage of the Law Control Realm."

One hundred thousand troops!

General of the early stage of the Imperial Law!

This shows that the barbarians attached great importance to this military operation.

"How many troops do we have now?"

Qin Qian asked.

"Nine thousand people!"

Jia Xu replied: "General Mulan has 5,000 men under his command, and General Xiang has 4,000 men under his command. They are all new soldiers and their fighting capacity is relatively weak."

“Time is too tight!”

Qin Qian sighed and ordered in a deep voice: "Send an order, let Xiang Yu and Hua Mulan lead the army north to resist the barbarian invasion!"

"As ordered!"

Jia Xu bowed and left in a hurry.

Qin Qian stood there and looked towards the north, only to find that the sky had been covered with dark clouds and large snowflakes were falling since he had no idea when.

Dark clouds are gathering over the city!
He was not worried about his own safety, but he didn't know how many of his subjects would die in this battle.

At this time, the sound of steady footsteps was heard.

Zhao Guangxun came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Qin Qian retracted his gaze and regained his dignity. "Let's go and meet the talented people in the Northern Territory. I hope they are all people with backbone."

As they were talking, the two arrived at the square.

At this time, a thousand students stood in the flying snow. They looked at Qin Qian, who was wearing the royal robe, with eyes full of expectation.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Qin Qian climbed onto the high platform. He glanced at the many students and said loudly, "Everyone, the barbarians are invading again. Is there anyone willing to follow me to fight against the barbarians?"

This interview does not test on-the-spot reaction ability.

Only assessment
courage!

loyalty!

Responsibility!
