The fierce battle outside Edo City gradually became white-hot, and due to the addition of the group of mechanical beasts sent by Lucius, Li Wuchen's group of highly skilled retinues gradually lost their advantage.

Due to the disadvantage in numbers, the group of followers gradually fell into disadvantage, and they could only gather together to resist the impact of the mechanical beasts with all their might, preventing the formation from being scattered by the mechanical beasts, and guiding them to be killed by the mechanical beasts one by one.

This situation is obviously not what Li Wuchen wants to see, you must know that the group of entourages around him, each of them was selected by him, and it can be said that all of them are strong in martial arts.

From the fact that they were able to fight against an army of thousands of people in Fusang with more than 100 people before, it can be seen that their personal combat effectiveness is very good, and it is not at all comparable to many Fuso samurai.

But now with the addition of the mechanical beasts, the situation has been reversed, and the mechanical beasts have a more powerful body, and they have a huge advantage in pure strength, plus they have a flexible and vigorous mobility, which brings a great threat to Li Wuchen's entourage.

However, as Li Wuchen's entourage gradually gathered together and set up the offensive and defensive formations that they were usually good at, the threat of mechanical beasts to them gradually decreased.

Although the automatons were still eyeing the periphery, the opponent's formation was extremely strong, and it was difficult for the automatons to find a chance to attack, and it was even difficult to pounce on a follower and tear it apart as before.

The two sides were in a scorching stalemate, but neither Lucius, who was hiding in the shadows, nor Li Wuchen, who was standing in the carriage, was in no hurry to tell the winner.

For Lucius, he needed to delay for some time so that he could judge the strength of those warriors from the Tang Empire, as well as some of the methods and cards in the hands of the prince of the Tang Empire.

In the same way, Li Wuchen also wanted to fight fiercely, observe the flaws of the Lucius mechanical beast, and also wanted to find a way to defeat the opponent.

Li Wuchen whispered to Shuang'er in the carriage, "Shuang'er, have you noticed? These metal guys don't seem to have much of a strong impact. Although their bodies were made of metal, they were not much of a threat to Mu Bai. ”

Hearing this, Shuang'er glanced outside a few times, and then echoed: "Yes, it seems that this group of metal machine beasts seems to be a little different from the machine made by the machine master, and the overall details are obviously not as delicate as those made by the powerful machine master of the Tang Empire, and many details are not very good, and it is easy to find out the flaws." ”

Li Wuchen agreed with Shuang'er, in fact, Shuang'er's observation was very good, although the mechanical beast was very powerful. But their bodies also exposed too many flaws.

It's like the mechanical beast's body is obviously not well sealed, and the joints in many places are exposed, and if the opponent seizes the opportunity, I am afraid that it will be able to incapacitate the mechanical beast with a single blow.

However, it is not easy to hit the joints of the automatron, the automatron's body is very flexible, and it seems to be able to anticipate threats, and when the threat is approaching, the automatron will choose to actively dodge. and will not force a hard fight with the person who brings a crisis to him.

The vigilance of the automatons made it difficult for the followers to start, although they had discovered the flaws of the automatons, but in the face of the vigilance of the automatons, and the cooperation of the other automatons around them. No retinue dared to rush forward to attack.

Lucius secretly observed the situation and saw that the more than 100 people formed a strange formation, surrounding the Tang Empire's prince's car in the middle, blocking the attack of the mechanical beast.

Lucius couldn't help but sigh, "It seems. The East is really wonderful, this group of people from the Tang Empire should be putting up the legendary military formation, right? Sure enough, it is even more peculiar than the military formation of Fusang. ”

Stayed in Fuso for a few years. Lucius has also experienced a lot of battles in Fusang and has seen various military formations in Fusang, but compared with the military formations of Fusang and the military formations put forward by everyone in the Tang Empire in front of him, they are obviously trivial.

There were only more than 100 people in Fusang's military formation, but they were able to resist the attack of thousands of Fusang troops and mechanical beasts, and the defense was watertight.

The automatron's attack was fierce, but it was never able to tear through the opponent's formation, which also made it difficult for the automatron to play the miraculous effect when it just rushed out.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and finally Li Wuchen seemed to be a little impatient, and first shouted to the forest: "Visitors from the West, in fact, we are all outsiders to Fusang, and it seems that there is no need for the two of us to fight because of the war in Fusang, right?"

Hearing the other party's words, Lu Xiuston's heart moved, and he felt that it seemed that the prince of the Tang Empire did not have that aggressive momentum, and it seemed that he wanted to negotiate peace with him.

Lucius then responded: "Your Highness of the Tang Empire in Middle-earth, in fact, I just want to help Fusang, and I don't want their fate to be enslaved by others. ”

"Enslaved by other people? Hehe, isn't Your Excellency dominating them now? You use them as swords, and let them fight against my retinue, and as a result, hundreds of people die here, isn't that enslavement?"

Lucius smiled, as if he knew that the other party would say this about himself, and then said: "Hehe, Your Highness of the Tang Empire, you don't have to use these words to make excuses, you should know very well that if it weren't for your Tang Empire intervening in the war of Fusang first, I probably wouldn't be here to intercept you." ”

"We have a war to meddle in Fusang?" Li Wuchen said in a daze, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, right? I just set foot on the land of Fusang, so how can I say that I am meddling in the war in Fusang?"

Lucius couldn't help but smile and said: "Hehe, I can't imagine that the prince of the dignified Tang Empire is actually a guy who dares to do things but dare not admit it, in the words of your Middle Earth, you are not a frank gentleman, you are a hypocrite who dares to do things." ”

Hearing Lecius say this, Li Wuchen suddenly found that it seemed that when the other party talked to him, he had always used the language of Middle-earth.

Li Wuchen couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "Your Excellency actually understands the language of the Tang Dynasty? Seeing that the conversation between you and the Lone King seems to be very smooth, could it be that Your Excellency has ever been to my Datang?"

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but sneer and said: "Hehehe, His Royal Highness the Prince, you are really interesting, you actually directly said that I use your Tang language, but as far as I know, the Tang Empire has only risen in Middle-earth for a few hundred years, and the so-called language seems to be the lingua franca of Middle-earth, right?"

Hearing the other party say about the time of the rise of the Tang Empire, Li Wuchen frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and suddenly guessed in a low voice: "Could it be that you are a descendant of those people who were once sent to the West by the Han Empire?"

It is said that none of those sent to the West ever returned, and the Han Empire lost too much national strength because of its exploration of the West, which eventually led the entire empire to fall apart and decline.

After the Han Empire, many empires rose in Middle-earth, and after a long period of turmoil, it was not until the emergence and rise of the Tang Empire that Middle-earth was reunified and became a powerful empire that could govern Middle-earth after the Han Empire.

As the prince of the Tang Empire, Li Wuchen naturally learned a lot of past history since he was a child, and even knew a lot of facts that ordinary people could not touch.

He remembered very well that some of the people sent to the West by the Han Empire had returned, and said that someone had successfully crossed the sea of sand and entered the West through the so-called Forbidden Zone of Death.

Now that he was able to converse with him fluently in Middle-earth, Li Wuchen suddenly realized the possible identity of the other party, that is, the descendants of those people sent by the Han Empire who had successfully crossed the sand sea into the West.

Lu Xius was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party to guess this, but he soon came to his senses and responded to Li Wuchen: "Actually, His Royal Highness the prince guessed correctly, my father and mother both have some oriental blood. ”

Li Wuchen was shocked in his heart when he heard this: Sure enough, sure enough, the other party is a descendant of the East, no wonder the other party understands the Tang language, and the strategy is so powerful.

Thinking of this, Li Wuchen said to Lucius: "Since Your Excellency also has the blood of Middle-earth, then there is no need for us to face each other with swords, we can sit down and have a good talk. ”

"Oh, His Royal Highness wants to sit down with me and talk, hehe, in fact, I also want to have a good talk with His Royal Highness, but I'm worried that His Royal Highness will suddenly attack me, I don't have your powerful martial arts skills from Eastern Middle Earth. ”

Hearing Lucius's teasing, Li Wuchen was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Hehe, Your Excellency is joking, Your Excellency has so many powerful mechanical beasts, are you still afraid that I will attack Your Excellency?"

As soon as Li Wuchen's words fell, Lucius drove his metal carriage out of the forest slowly, and walked from the separated crowd to the front of Li Wuchen's convoy.

Seeing the person driving the black metal carriage, Li Wuchen's pupils suddenly shrank, although he already knew that the other party had Eastern blood, but when he saw Lu Xiusius's Oriental face, he was still surprised.

Li Wuchen never thought that the other party would have this oriental face, although that face didn't look very handsome, but the sunny smile on his face would give people a unique affinity.

It was Shuang'er, who was hiding in the carriage and waiting for an opportunity, and when he saw the smiling Lucius, he was also a little hesitant to make a move on Lucius for a while.

However, in the end, Li Wuchen and Shuang'er almost made up their minds at the same time to attack Lu Xiusi directly, because in the eyes of the master and servant, Lu Xiusi was the biggest threat to their Tang Empire's domination of the East, and if they wanted to control Fusang in their hands, they had to get rid of each other.

Suddenly, Shuang'er rushed out of the carriage, and his body turned into a bright rainbow light, and rushed directly towards Lucius, who was standing in the carriage.

By the time Lucius and the others found out, Shuang'er had already rushed in front of Lucius, and the bright blade in his hand was close to Lucius's throat, and it could be said that as long as Shuang'er's wrists were slightly forced, they could easily cut Lucius's throat.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, everyone held their breath, whether excited, nervous, joyful, or worried, all eyes were focused on Lucius and Shuang'er. (To be continued......)
