New and dark light years

Chapter 437 Where Did This Army Come From?

At this moment, the crown prince looked at the semi-circular paper circle with a solemn expression.

Because the rockets have already been launched, they've been completely useless.

It's just a piece of paper... yet it doesn't catch fire at all.

The prince roared, "Swordsmen and spearmen, advance! Break that evil contraption!"

Two hundred imperial guards immediately strode forward.

They quickly arrived in front of the semi-circular paper ball, and just as they were about to make their move, five tails suddenly lashed out.

The first two rows of imperial guards were whipped so badly that their blood flew everywhere.

A large area was cleared out in one go.

After the five paper goddesses flung these people away, they reconnected their tails to protect Li Lin inside.

Li Lin stood inside the semi-circular sphere, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He had wanted to make a move just now, but the Tree Fairy Goddess moved too quickly, and before he could react, she protected him again.

Although it was dark inside the semi-circular paper ball, Li Lin felt unusually at ease.

Because he smelled a faint scent of peach blossoms.

Then, sensing something amiss, he asked, "Tree Fairy, is that you?"

After a while, a soft "hmm" sound was heard.

Li Lin was quite excited. He reached out towards the source of the sound and touched a warm body.

He instinctively bent his left arm and put it around the other person's waist.

He then felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, clearly indicating that someone had pinched him hard with their fingernails.

Li Lin hissed.

"Don't move... You haven't married me into the family with a grand wedding procession yet."

The voice was soft and melodious, and extremely pleasant to hear.

Upon hearing this, Li Lin withdrew his hand and laughed, "Well, when you truly wake up, I'll make sure you have a sedan chair carried by eight or even eighteen people, let alone eighteen."

"I can't stay here for too long. The distance is too far, and it consumes a lot of incense energy. How much longer will it take for your paper effigies to arrive?"

Li Lin said solemnly, "They are on their way. Your Majesty, you have projected your divine spirit here from so far away. Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I just need to sleep a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin was somewhat annoyed, annoyed by the Crown Prince's group.

These people have caused me to postpone my wedding to the Tree Fairy Goddess again. How despicable!

I want to kill someone.

……

On the other side, Huang Qing was talking to Madam Huang in the house when Hong Luan suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.

The two doors slammed against the wall with a loud thud, and one half of the door was even knocked askew.

Hongluan already possesses the strength of a seventh-rank martial artist, and she is actually quite strong.

The noise startled both women in the room.

Madam Huang was about to get angry, but remembering that Hongluan was no longer a maid under her supervision, she didn't say anything more.

She looked at Huang Qing, wondering how her adopted daughter disciplined the servants.

After all... Hongluan does look rather out of line right now.

Hongluan looked at Huangqing and exclaimed, "Miss, something terrible has happened! All the paper figures in the warehouse have started moving and are forming an array to march out!"

"What!" Huang Qing suddenly stood up.

She immediately lifted her skirt and rushed out. As soon as she was out the door, she said to Madam Huang inside the house, "Mother, quickly change into some clothes that are easy to move in and come with us."

"What!" Madam Huang was somewhat bewildered.

"Don't ask why, hurry!" Huang Qing shouted, then said to Hong Luan, "Let's go to the warehouse to get the weapons immediately and follow the paper figures."

"it is good."

After saying that, the two rushed out.

Madam Huang was stunned for a moment, but after all, she was a woman from a prominent family. She immediately reacted, quickly closed the door, and changed her clothes.

The outfit she's wearing looks nice, but it's not practical for walking.

Huang Qing rushed out of the room and saw the paper figures lined up in three rows, walking out at a moderate pace.

“My lord is indeed prescient; this capital is a den of dragons and tigers everywhere,” Huang Qing said through gritted teeth. “Go to the warehouse and get the spear.”

"Not using a sword?" Hongluan asked.

"On the battlefield, there is no room for longswords. Use spears, the longer the better."

The two women rushed into the storeroom and each chose a spear that was ten feet long.

Even an adult man would find it difficult to wield a gun weighing over ten kilograms, but the two women held it as easily as if it were a toothpick.

The two rushed outside immediately, and then saw Madam Huang, dressed in simple clothes and carrying a small blue bag, come out of the room.

Huang Qing quickly waved to her: "Mother, over here."

When Madam Huang saw the rows and rows of paper figures, she was so frightened that her hands and feet went weak. After all, a normal person would be afraid when they saw such a thing.

But seeing her adopted daughter mingling with the paper figures without any fear, she felt much more at ease and immediately ran over.

"Qing'er, what happened?" Madam Huang asked.

As she spoke, she glanced at the paper figures around her and asked cautiously.

“Someone is plotting against you, sir. This is a backup plan you've prepared,” Huang Qing explained. “If these paper figures move, we'll follow them.”

"Where are we going?" "We're probably leaving the city."

"Can these paper figures really be used to break out of the city?" Madam Huang was extremely surprised.

Huang Qing laughed and said, "Others may not be able to, but you, sir, certainly can."

Her words were filled with powerful confidence.

Hongluan nodded in agreement, her voice trembling with each nod.

A large number of paper figures lined up and carried weapons as they walked out, a commotion that terrified the servants in the Li household.

Both men and women were so frightened that they hid inside their houses and dared not come out.

Only the old butler opened a crack in the window and looked out.

Then he saw his three mistresses, Huang Qing, Hong Luan, and Madam Huang, mixed in among them, and shouted loudly, "Madam Huang, Madam Hong Luan, come here! Don't get hurt by those evil things!"

Huang Qing turned his head and looked over, then smiled and said, "It's alright, this is my husband's magic... it won't hurt us. Steward, we may be away for a while, so you can take care of this place for now. We'll talk about everything when we get back."

The butler was stunned and didn't say anything.

He didn't know how to say it.

After all, magic is still too distant and divine for ordinary people.

Once the paper-figure army left the Li residence, they formed ranks outside, strictly arranged in the order of swordsmen, shieldmen, spearmen, and archers.

By this time, many pedestrians around were frightened. They kept their distance from the paper figures, but couldn't resist their curiosity and hid behind trees or in corners to peek at them.

After a while, all the paper figures in the warehouse came out, and the Jia Street in Luoshui Township was almost completely filled with more than a thousand paper figures.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of even more 'important people' here.

The old woman from the Yu family next door listened to the servant's stammering report with a look of doubt and confusion.

The Fang family in the right-hand house... Fang Fengyi sat on the edge of the bed, coughing, his eyes filled with clear light.

Huang Ling's expression turned strange after hearing the word 'paper man'.

She rushed out of the house and saw the paper soldiers lined up in front of the door. Turning her head to the right, she saw three familiar faces in the paper army.

Mother, eldest sister, and Hongluan.

After all, compared to the uniform white paper figures, the three of them would still stand out too much even if they were mixed in.

When Huang Ling saw them, her face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "Mother, eldest sister, where are you going!"

After saying that, she wanted to follow them.

But at that moment, her arm was grabbed, and when she turned around, she saw her husband, Fang Fengyi.

"My lord, I only went to find my mother and elder sister, I didn't..."

Fang Fengyi interrupted her: "If you leave home now, don't ever come back."

"What!" Huang Ling was very puzzled: "I just went to find my relatives, I didn't mean anything else."

Fang Fengyi snorted coldly: "Li Lin has a nickname in the martial arts world, the Paper Prince. I heard that they bought the Fu Mansion the day before yesterday. Now there are so many paper figures here, facing the direction of the palace. What do you think they're going to do!"

"Huh?" Huang Ling was stunned; her little brain couldn't handle such a complicated question.

Or rather, she was unwilling to think.

At that moment, the paper figures moved and took a step.

Every step was taken in the same order, every distance was the same, and every movement was the same.

Every step is the same.

Therefore, every step the paper army took produced a 'boom' sound.

Every step was firm and powerful.

Boom boom boom.

Such sounds rise and then gradually fade away.

As Huang Ling watched the army of paper figures slowly walk away, and saw the three figures mixed in among them, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

She felt ostracized and abandoned.

The army of paper figures moved forward with a sound like ocean waves.

Wherever he went, pedestrians avoided him, not daring to get more than ten feet away.

On the artificial hill pavilion in the Liu residence, the Privy Councilor stood high above, looking down at the army of paper figures passing by his door.

His expression was solemn. He roughly counted and muttered, "About 1,200 people. Although they are paper figures, they have the aura of a powerful army. If a hundred or a thousand people can learn this kind of magic, then why bother training a large army to fight? We can just invite some sorcerers over and conquer the world."

At this point, he added in a somewhat praying tone, "Perhaps... Li Lin is an exception."

At the same time, in the square in front of the hall under the Zhongshu Gate.

This is also the square in front of the palace.

The crown prince looked at the Imperial Guards who had been swept away and scattered, his face turning extremely ugly and furious.

He then said to the man beside him, "Gu Weijing, hand over the Hunyuan Umbrella to me. You then mobilize a thousand Imperial Guards and notify the Demon Extermination Division to mobilize them all. Tell them it is my order."

"As ordered!"

Gu Weijing handed the umbrella to the Crown Prince and then rode his horse at full speed toward the side hall of the palace.

The prince stared intently at the semi-circular paper ball. He never imagined that someone could actually withstand the attack of three hundred imperial guards single-handedly.

Moreover, the technique used was a very simple paper-making method.

At this moment, Li Lin's voice came from the semi-circular paper ball: "Crown Prince, I am waiting for my army, what are you waiting for!"

"A large army? You only have ten personal guards in the city, where did this 'large army' come from!" The Crown Prince sneered, "Prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat... Li Lin, come out now, and I might still give you a quick death. I won't pursue your family and friends, otherwise..."
