Chapter 281 Maitreya Cult Invades Mang Territory
Chapter 281 Maitreya Cult Invades Mang Territory
Lan Gongfu said: "People often say, 'A heavy sword has no edge, and great wisdom appears foolish.' After spending a few days with Daoist Liu, I am convinced that this sword and your temperament coincide with each other."
Liu Dabazi responded: "Okay, let me appreciate the charm of this sword!"
The two of them walked into the courtyard, and Liu Dabazi began to wield his sword. His moves were full of grandeur, but the sword had no strange magic except for a strong momentum.
Gongsun Kehua suggested: "Fellow Daoist Liu, let me learn a few moves from you!"
After saying that, he pulled out a long steel sword from his magic ring and rushed towards Liu Dabazi.
The knife was so powerful that Liu Dabazi originally planned to launch a fierce attack, but then he thought it was not advisable to be reckless, so he changed his mind and slashed diagonally.
Gongsun Kehua raised his sword to block, but with a "crack" sound, the green steel sword broke into pieces in the collision.
Gongsun Kehua and Liu Dabazi were both dumbfounded. You know, even if it's not a divine weapon, this long sword came from the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion and is also a sharp weapon in the outside world. Unexpectedly, it was defeated by the giant knife.
Lan Gongfu smiled and said, "You can see the power of the sword! I used the spine of the abyss dace as the base, blended it with black crystal and dozens of rare materials, and sealed the power of the water element into the sword.
Water is invisible yet nourishes all things; it does not contend and yet nothing can contend with it.
This sword is as calm as still water, but when encountering an enemy it surges like a torrent, releasing destructive force.
Only by not fighting can you be invincible in the world! "
After listening to Lan Gongfu's explanation, Liu Dabazi's eyes flickered and he said loudly: "Wonderful! It is indeed a rare magic weapon in the world!"
Seeing that Liu Dabazi was satisfied, Xia Zhongnan suggested: "Brother Liu, please give the sword a name!"
Liu Dabazi replied: "This sword is called 'Bu Zheng'!"
Xia Zhongnan praised: "'Not fighting'? As the saying goes, if you don't fight, no one in the world can fight with you. What a good sword, what a good name!"
There was one precious sword left, which Xia Zhongnan specially prepared for Gu Xiuzhang. Just as Xia Zhongnan went to Tianbing Pavilion, Maitreya City had already deployed and launched a surprise attack on Mang State.
In just two days, the seven states of Xuyou, Shuo, Bai, Lian, Li, Jian, and Xiang of Mang fell one after another. Together with the three states previously swallowed by Maitreya City, Mang not only lost the territory that was divided from Bai State, but also lost three states on its homeland.
What is even more outrageous is that in the face of the Maitreya invasion, the seven states offered almost no resistance. The governors of three of the states surrendered directly and led their troops to join the Maitreya attack. The other four governors were destroyed by the rebel forces in their respective states.
For a long time, the infiltration of Maitreya has caused Mang State to lose control of these states. Now, Maitreya not only occupies seven states, but also continues to march into the remaining four states, approaching Mang Capital.
War reports came in like snowflakes, and the court of Mang State, from the king Yi Guangshan to the ministers, were all in a state of panic...
Faced with the violent invasion of Maha Sect, they almost lost the will to resist.
Yi Guangshan shouted, "Does the Mani messenger have any news?"
Prime Minister Kong Changji replied, "Your Majesty, there has been no news of the Mani messenger since he left the palace. Searching for him now is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Yi Guangshan asked again: "Has the envoy who went to the Seven Kingdoms to seek assistance not returned yet?"
Kong Changji sighed: "Even if the seven kingdoms agree to send troops, they will need time to prepare. Good news will not come so soon."
Yi Guangshan sat down in frustration.
He had never expected that the attack from Maha City would be so fierce that the seven states fell in just two days.
If the current pace continues, the Maha sect’s army will be at the gates of Mangdu in just a few days.
They were facing two ancient Buddhas, and Yi Guangshan had neither the courage nor the conviction to fight them at the same time.
Kong Changji suggested: "Your Majesty, the Mang Kingdom is at the brink of extinction. Why don't you go to the Xia Kingdom in person? Xia Zhongnan, the Great Xia King, has always refused to give up an inch of territory to the Maha Religion and has killed dozens of Maha Religion masters. Perhaps he is the only one who has the courage to face the two ancient Buddhas with you!"
Yi Guangshan responded: "Now that things have come to this, it seems there is no other way!"
He was full of regret at this moment.
When Zhu Fasheng occupied Maha City in the name of Xitian Religion, the five rulers personally led their troops to besiege the city and conquered it with a piece of effort.
But they feared the revenge of the Western Heaven Sect and underestimated the turmoil that a city could stir up, so they finally chose to compromise.
From then on, one wrong step led to another.
Afterwards, the Maha City army arrived at Lanxiu City, and Wu Longhai requested the five countries to exert pressure at the same time to force Maha City to withdraw its troops.
Except for the Khanate, the other four countries had their own ideas. They hoped that Mahaism would fight a desperate battle with the Wu Kingdom so that they could profit from it. As a result, the Five-Nation Alliance collapsed.
Of the five countries that were fighting each other, except for the previous Wu Kingdom, the other four countries had lost the strength to fight against Mahaism alone and could only retreat step by step.
As expected, it was like boiling a frog in warm water. If they had not lost seven states in two days, who would have thought that they had been infiltrated by the Maha religion?
It seems that Mahaism can easily destroy a country with just a little effort.
King Zhongsun Chunye, the Great Khan Qili and Huangfu Talan of the Man Kingdom, the Khanate and the Wei Kingdom all received information about the Maha religion invading the Mang Kingdom.
Several important officials of Mang State who sought help also stood in the court of the Three Kingdoms.
Faced with Mang's request for help, the kings and ministers of the three kingdoms remained silent.
The main reason was that the speed of Mang State’s retreat was “astonishing”, which deeply shocked the Three Kingdoms.
They couldn't help but wonder, Mang Kingdom had been infiltrated by Maha Religion, were their three countries in the same situation?
Even if they want to rescue, do they really have the strength to send troops?
The three kings were silent for a moment, and then they said almost in unison: “It’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s just that we are powerless.
You should first go find Xia Zhongnan of the Xia Kingdom. Perhaps he is the only one who has the strength to send troops to aid you!"
There are four neighboring countries in other directions of Mang State.
And these countries don't know much about Mahaism...
In a distant fantasy world, the Mang Kingdom was invaded by the mysterious Maitreya religion. In the parliament of the Four-Nation Alliance, debates continued one after another, and no one could easily make a decision to send out an army, because war was the string of a country's destiny.
Xia Zhongnan did not stay in the capital of Xia. At this time, the news that Maitreya's iron hoof had shaken Mang State spread in the streets of Xia. Compared with the panic of the barbarians, the Khanate and the Wei State, the officials of Daxia seemed particularly calm. They were not afraid of Maitreya, but rather watched a dramatic war.
Upon learning that Xia Zhongnan was not there, Mang State envoy Yang Yuan was extremely anxious and visited Tang Huaigang, Qu Tongtian, Tu Shiyun, Zou Wenwu and even Wen Yulou and other powerful ministers and generals one by one. "Envoy Yang, the king has not returned yet, and we dare not act rashly. Your persuasion is useless! In my opinion, you need to save yourself, and your own resilience is the key. Losing seven states in two days is really rare! If we say it is unprecedented in history, I am afraid that Mang State has created a record." Yang Yuan has heard similar words several times, and his heart was broken every time, but he had a mission to bear, so he could only endure the ridicule and constantly explain to them the heretical nature of Maitreyaism and the principle that all countries in the ancient Eastern Domain share weal and woe.
