Chapter 26: The First Famous General in Three Hundred Years

"General Red?" The He father and son looked at each other. "General Red died before Zhong Shengquan?" "Zhong Shengquan had many fierce generals under his command, but if you want to say who is the number one person on the battlefield, it must be General Red." Mentioning the famous generals of the past, Sun Fuping also yearned for it. "In the last twenty years, the iron army of Panlongcheng was almost built by his own hands. The suicide notes of the Panlongcheng people I obtained mentioned that he used troops like a god, looked down on the battlefield, and shared most of Zhong Shengquan's pressure."

"Well, do you know that Zhong Shengquan had been full of injuries and illnesses after guarding the city for twelve years, and it was difficult to persist. The so-called 'generals die in a hundred battles', having an iron will is far from enough, one must also have an iron body."

"I've heard of this. It is said that General Red once took dozens of people to scout behind enemy lines, but unexpectedly ran into two thousand Xianyou enemies, so he fought two thousand with dozens. The followers basically died in battle, but General Red became braver as he fought, and actually turned around and beat the enemy army until they fled, creating a legendary record of chasing two thousand with a few people. I don't know if he entered the 'Overlord Body' state..." Everyone frowned when they heard this word, and He Lingchuan hurriedly coughed. "Anyway, the reinforcements finally arrived, and Panlongcheng fought a great victory. There are too many legends about General Red in Heishuicheng; I can tell you for three days and three nights and still not finish."

Exaggerated, but people like these exaggerated and bloody stories.

"That was the Battle of Black Pine Pass." Sun Fuping nodded. "Do you know which year this happened?"

"Not very clear." He Chunhua thought for a moment. "Seems to be after Western Luo and Xianyou talked and collapsed, and Panlongcheng was besieged again?"

"It was the autumn of the same year that the Xianyou Kingdom reopened war on Western Luo, the Panlong Wasteland became a flying territory again, and Panlongcheng became an isolated city again!" Sun Fuping said slowly. "The wording in the suicide note is also very interesting, calling General Red 'born out of thin air', resisting the enemy tide from all sides, and stabilizing the military heart of Panlong!"

As soon as he sang, He Lingchuan harmonized, obediently acting as a listener: "Yes. Such an unparalleled fierce man, the savior of Panlongcheng, why did he have no sense of existence before, until this time he was 'born out of thin air'?"

He was familiar with the legends about General Red just like the people of Heishuicheng, but legends are legends. In the absence of basic data, who would really examine the historical details of more than a hundred years ago? Nian Songyu took over: "The Grand Marshal read historical materials and believed that Zhong Shengquan prayed to gods first, and General Red was born out of thin air later; these two must be connected."

He Chunhua: "So, the help of the gods, besides the Great Fang Hu, is actually embodied in General Red?"

Dropping two kinds of aid at once, this god is really generous.

"At least he is a very important part of it." Sun Fuping continued, "The suicide note of the personal guard also mentioned that General Red left Panlongcheng twice, once to Western Luo, and once to the Xianyou Kingdom! He regretted not following him, otherwise he would have had the opportunity to be stationed in his homeland, instead of being buried in the wilderness."

The He father and son were very surprised: "General Red actually returned to Western Luo?"

"Isn't it said that Panlongcheng was besieged and became an isolated city?" He Lingchuan clicked his tongue twice. "He could actually go to Xianyou... um, what did he do in Xianyou?"

"That's not clear." Nian Songyu shrugged. "When he went, when he returned, what he specifically did, the materials we mastered didn't mention it."

"Even if he is the number one famous general in three hundred years, his various actions are beyond imagination. Perhaps he himself is an extremely powerful sorcerer, and superimposed the luck of the entire Panlong Wasteland." Sun Fuping let out a long breath. "But I am more inclined to believe that General Red is no longer a human, but a demigod body!"

"Demigod body?" He Chunhua lost his voice. "You mean, God Descent!"

"Not bad, it is God Descent!"

Governor He, who had always been calm and steady, was surprised and confused at this time, but he quickly settled his mind: "There are historical records of God Descent, and there have only been three cases from ancient times to the present." However, General Red's record was overly brilliant, and attributing it to the gods seemed more acceptable. "It is said that the requirements for God Descent are extremely harsh, otherwise the existing examples would not be so few."

He Lingchuan immediately searched for the two words "God Descent" in the original body's memory, but searched for a long time and only found a vague impression. It is said that there are gods three feet above the head, but in fact, gods exist outside the sky and cannot directly descend into this world.

Although the main body cannot come, under extremely limited conditions, it can be attached to a human body in the way of "God Descent" to act, which is also considered to have indirectly entered the human world.

People who accept "God Descent" are also called demigods.

"Well, gods usually don't interfere in human affairs, but there are always exceptions to everything." Sun Fuping said, "In the spring of the thirty-second year of guarding Panlongcheng, Xianyou and Baling summoned five affiliated countries to send troops together, and asked for six hundred demon troops from the northern demon country, launching an unprecedented attack on Panlongcheng. It is said that the battle was so fierce that 'the mountains had no hills', and the entire Indou Mountain on the north side was razed to the ground."

"In this battle, the six hundred demon troops and the two great demon generals leading them all died in battle; the five great state preceptors sent by the seven countries, three died and one was seriously injured; the casualties of the soldiers don't need to be mentioned. It is said that after this great battle, the fertile land in the Xianyou Kingdom 'eight out of ten were empty' for five years, and there were not enough young and strong men to cultivate the land."

Nian Songyu sighed: "The Xianyou Kingdom, as the winning side of the attack, couldn't withstand such losses. Not many years after the Panlongcheng battle ended, civil strife broke out, splitting into several small countries, and the war has continued to this day."

"The suicide note mentioned that General Hong fell in this epic battle. Three days after his death, Panlongcheng fell, and Zhong Shengguang took his own life."

"So that's how it is." He Chunhua couldn't help but sigh. "What a pity."

It's a pity that hundreds of thousands of loyal bones were buried in the Panlong Wasteland, and they couldn't change their fate after all.

"Not only a pity, but also terrible." He Lingchuan also sighed. "The army that even the seven countries could barely defeat has turned into the resentful souls we have to deal with. By the way, no matter how powerful the Great Wind Army is, it can't escape the credit of the Great Fang Hu; but in the end, Panlongcheng was still taken down. Did the Great Fang Hu fail?"

"That's not clear." Sun Fuping spread his hands. "There is no record anywhere. It is already very difficult for us to deduce the above content from limited data. These are just peeking at the leopard through a tube, seeing only a spot. The truth, I fear, will never be known."

Nian Songyu stood up and stretched: "Rest early. From tomorrow on, we might not be able to sleep peacefully."

Meeting adjourned.

The He father and son lived in the same small house.

The house was very small, barely able to fit two small beds. Two big men lay down, and their legs almost couldn't stretch out.

However, the bedding was unexpectedly dry, which He Lingchuan speculated was because it was too dry in the desert. There was some sand and soil on the ground, but there were no annoying little creatures.
