Chapter 452: War Breaks Out! Yuwen Chengdu
It can be seen that Ding Ling’s status in Guo Jing’s heart is constantly rising.
He naturally values Ding Ling more and more, and undoubtedly hopes for closer ties.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t use such a term of address.
At this moment, Ding Ling heard Guo Jing say he was going to see General Lü, and knew it must be the brothers Lü Wende and Lü Wenhuan of present-day Xiangyang City.
These two brothers are the current City Defense Commanders of Xiangyang City, but they are mediocre and incompetent.
Xiangyang has been able to hold out until now.
Entirely thanks to the Guo Jing couple overseeing!
Thus, the Guo Jing couple are regarded as the pillars of Shenzhou Land by the Xiangyang City commoners.
Their fame in Xiangyang City is so high that ordinary martial arts heroes can’t compare!
This is what Ding Ling heard along the way.
It should be largely accurate.
Thus, Ding Ling had no intention of meeting the brothers Lü Wenhuan and only said:
"No need. Let’s go to the city wall of Xiangyang City to see the situation."
"That’s good."
Guo Jing thought for a moment and agreed with a nod.
Immediately the group left the courtyard, mounted their horses, and headed towards the city wall of Xiangyang City.
Little Dragon Girl followed closely by Ding Ling’s side.
Her martial arts skills have improved greatly from before.
Deeply receiving Ding Ling’s true inheritance.
Furthermore, she is intelligent, with exceptional talent, mastering martial arts at a fast pace, naturally without need to say more.
To the present.
She has far surpassed ordinary second-class generals in the External Refining Breathing Technique and, given time, reaching full level with it will not be a problem!
Precisely because she has achieved results in the External Refining Breathing Technique, her Fusion Qi is also very formidable, and when ordinary innate experts clash with her suddenly, the quality of Fusion Qi is far superior to Inner Strength.
Simply because Fusion Qi is extremely explosive, violent, and turbulent!
Not only can it enhance strength fivefold, tenfold, but it can also enhance speed!
How can ordinary innate experts who have not learned the Breathing Technique stand against it?
Da-da-da!
The group galloped swiftly.
A period of time later.
They arrived at the city wall.
Dismounting, under the soldiers’ admiring gaze, Guo Jing enthusiastically grasped Ding Ling’s hand, introducing him to the soldiers along the way, saying Ding Ling is the future War God, the hope of Xiangyang!
"..."
The soldiers looked at Guo Jing with confusion.
There were few players among them, players think Guo Jing’s side doesn’t stand a chance, unwilling to come over and die.
After all, many players know dying too much and losing levels down to zero, the aftermath will be severe, so most of them desperately improve skill levels to ensure they won’t drop to zero even if they die.
That’s why they are becoming more cautious, more stable.
What about those who are afraid to play?
Oftentimes, you can die from walking in the real world, choke while eating, so why not eat? Or walk?
For players, the Game World can enhance strength, learn martial arts, extend life!
Even without learning martial arts, the scenery in the Game World is beautiful, and some ancient maids are equally affectionate and gentle...
In short, the Game World has everything they want, so they naturally come to play.
Although players are scarce here, there are quite a few who are opportunistic or highly talented with a decent skill level, unafraid of losing levels!
Seeing Ding Ling arrive, they couldn’t help but feel at ease, each thinking:
"With Ding Ling this monster here, it’s secure now! Finally, I don’t have to fear and consider running away. If there’s a battle later, following Ding Ling to earn some exploits, wouldn’t that be easy?!"
The natives were puzzled, although they greatly respected Guo Jing, they were perplexed and questioned:
"How could this young Ding Ling be any War God?! Shouldn’t Xiangyang’s hope be Hero Guo?"
Although Ding Ling’s affair of crushing Kublai’s army is widely known, not everyone is aware.
To those who are aware, they are skeptical, guessing if Ding Ling is the rumored Ding Ling.
To those who are unaware, they are incredulous.
Ding Ling took it all in, but did not reveal it.
He stepped onto the city tower, gazing afar, seeing amidst the wailing horn sounds, smoke billowing, the Iron Cavalry coming and going, a taste of impending war permeating the Ten Directions Realm.
The country folk outside the city have retreated inside.
Seeing their eyes hold panic yet display an orderly, calm demeanor, Ding Ling knew these country folk had grown accustomed to this lifestyle.
During wartime, hiding in the city. Supporting the defense.
In peace, they set up stalls, farm, hunt...all for livelihood!
"Hero Guo!"
"Hero Guo!"
Upon reaching the wall, some soldiers intensely saluted Guo Jing, calling out one by one.
Another person stands on the city wall.
He is immensely burly! Uncommonly fierce-looking! Upon seeing Guo Jing, he is overjoyed, rushes over, grabs Guo Jing’s hand:
"Hero Guo, you finally arrived! You take charge here. I have matters at my mansion, so I won’t linger."
"General Lü."
Upon seeing this person, Guo Jing couldn’t help but hold onto him, saying:
"You came just in time. Let me introduce you to..."
He introduced Ding Ling and General Lü to each other.
Only then did Ding Ling know this person was Lü Wende.
Historically, Lü Wende was a brave General who opposed Mongolia!
But that’s history, in this Martial World, Lü Wende is a mediocre individual.
Listening to Guo Jing introduce Ding Ling, he nonchalantly cupped his hands, considering them acquainted, then left urgently.
He had no intention of developing deep relations with Ding Ling.
The courtesy to meet Ding Ling.
Most likely out of respect for Guo Jing.
"General Lü..."
Guo Jing was about to elaborate on Ding Ling’s formidable achievements to hint at Lü Wende Ding Ling’s prowess and hopes Lü Wende could take Ding Ling seriously, offering him a good job, but unexpectedly Lü Wende couldn’t stay focused, leaving Guo Jing slightly helpless, glancing at Ding Ling:
"Brother Ding, you see, this..."
"No worries. I’m here to guard Xiangyang for Elder Gang Leader Hong and Hero Guo, not for others."
Ding Ling also didn’t have great regard for Lü Wende.
A dignified Commander-in-Chief!
Entrusting battlefield defense entirely to Guo Jing, while enjoying life behind, is that reasonable?
However, for him to observe the frontline is somewhat rare.
Seeing that Lü Wenhuan didn’t even come.
One knows Lü Wende compared to Lü Wenhuan is better.
Thinking of the previous drum-beating and gathering, Ding Ling mused perhaps Lü Wenhuan was entertaining other martial heroes.
After waiting for a while.
Sure enough.
Some martial heroes also arrived one after another.
Guo Jing hurried to host them, letting the martial heroes distribute themselves across the four directions, ready to support the frontline at any time.
Ding Ling remained still.
This was his first time in Xiangyang City.
Normally, he traveled secluded mountain paths.
Thus, except for a few players present who knew him, very few recognized him, even with Guo Jing introducing Ding Ling, at first the martial heroes didn’t link Ding Ling to the rumored Ten Thousand Butcher.
After all, Ding Ling appears extremely young, not at all like a Great Demon King!
Of course.
Among them, some recognized Ding Ling but only silently, without a word, while internally confused, dubious, and somewhat encouraged, believing Ding Ling there provides some reassurance.
It seems Ding Ling’s battle in the Mount Song realm indeed earned recognition for his World’s Number One title.
Roaring!
The sound of hooves grew louder.
Ding Ling observed intently.
As many as a hundred thousand troops surged like a tide, at the front was a burly, spirited man with a full beard, looking extremely mighty.
His hair and beard were white, but his complexion was ruddy, making his true age hard to discern.
Wielding a long spear, exuding majesty, Evil Qi soaring to the sky.
Not far from this burly man was a handsome youth, wielding a Phoenix Wing Golden Mace, bold and fierce; Ding Ling recognized him, wasn’t this Yuwen Chengdu?
Ding Ling had met Yuwen Chengdu on Huashan in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, they had crossed paths but not fought.
Unexpectedly, their next encounter would be in the Divine Eagle World.
