Just as Ling Xiao and Ji Ning were chatting and laughing, the sound of a whistling arrow suddenly came from afar.
Ji Ning's expression suddenly changed, "The Black Crow Empire's army is here again!"
Seeing the whistling arrow explode in the air, Ling Xiao's expression also became serious.
Not long after the whistling arrow sounded, someone came to report, "General, the Black Crow Empire's army is only three days away from their vanguard army, and the one leading the army this time is the Black Crow Empire's Golden-blooded Prince Tomohiko Kuma!"
"Tomohiko Kuma? Haha, is this Little Prince here to die on the battlefield? Who is their commander? "
Ji Ning asked with a smile.
"The commander is Tomohiko Kuma, but the deputy is a little powerful, it's the Black Crow Empire's Golden Crow Great General Timur Mutu!"
"What! This old fellow actually came personally? Looks like the Black Crow Empire is also having endless internal strife. This time, Mutu, this old fellow, most likely wants to help that Little Prince Tomohiko Kuma obtain military merits. "
Ji Ning's expression became serious.
Very obviously, Timur Mutu is definitely not a person to be trifled with.
Although Ji Ning is not good at scheming, he uses troops like a god and is proficient in the art of war. In the Divine Phoenix Continent, he is definitely an undefeatable general.
Now that his expression has become so serious, it can only mean that Timur Mutu is really terrifying.
"Great General, what's the situation with this Timur Mutu?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Timur Mutu's cultivation is not weaker than mine, but he's most powerful in using troops and scheming. I'm really not as good as him, in terms of scheming, he's ten times better than me."
Ji Ning sighed and said, "Everyone says that I'm an undefeatable general, never losing on the battlefield. This is true, but once the Black Crow Empire and Divine Phoenix Empire had a decisive battle of great importance. At that time, I was the Great General and almost killed my way to the capital of the Black Crow Empire. As long as I can take down this battle, then only the Divine Phoenix Empire is left on the Divine Phoenix Continent.
However, I didn't lose to anyone on the battlefield, but that Mutu instigated the Emperor to change the commander at the last moment and sent me to this Northern Desert City.... What a pity...
Missed that opportunity, the Black Crow Empire quickly rose and is able to stand on the same level as the Divine Phoenix Empire.
"So that's how it is. Since Mu Tu is so powerful, the Little Prince Jiumo Zhiyan he supports shouldn't be too weak, right?"
Ling Xiao asked. "Of course.
"That's only natural. In my opinion, Jiumo Zhiyan might not be much, but to young people like you, Jiumo Zhiyan is too terrifying. He's only sixteen this year, the same age as you, but his cultivation has already reached the early stage of Ten Directions Heaven. With this kind of aptitude, among the younger generation, at least in the Divine Phoenix Continent, I'm afraid that only the two princes can compete with him."
Ji Ning introduced, "Of course, the most terrifying thing about this Little Duke is not his martial strength, but his intelligence. I'm even suspecting that he's Mutu's illegitimate son, and that he's basically cuckolding the Emperor of the Black Crow Empire.
It's rumored that when this Little Duke was thirteen, he helped the Emperor eliminate the traitors in the court and consolidated the imperial power. He's the Emperor of the Black Crow Empire's favorite Little Duke. "
"As expected, he's powerful. I want to meet this Little Duke."
Ling Xiao was excited when he heard about experts, especially experts of the same generation.
Tomohiko Kuma was about the same age as him, but his cultivation was much higher.
Although he didn't care about this, after all, his starting point was relatively low, but the feeling of competing with such a genius would definitely be very good.
"With the two of them together, I'm afraid Northern Desert City will really be in trouble this time."
Ji Ning smiled bitterly.
Because they couldn't get supplies all year round, they could only be self-sufficient. Northern Desert City could only barely survive by relying on him. This time, with Mutu's arrival, it might not be the case.
"That might not be the case."
Ling Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "You said that the Black Crow Empire sent Timur Mutu to lead the troops this time to snatch military merits for Little Duke Tomohiko Kuma, to make Tomohiko Kuma a great hero of the Black Crow Empire and a qualified heir to the throne.
I'm sure those who follow Timur Mutu are their most loyal soldiers.
If we eliminate Tomohiko Kuma, what will happen? "
"You really think differently. That's right, Tomohiko Kuma's expedition is a double-edged sword. He can make the soldiers of the Black Crow Empire work together and fight bravely, but he can also cause the army to collapse!"
Ji Ning looked at Ling Xiao and was really satisfied with him. He couldn't wait to take in a goddaughter and marry Ling Xiao.
"Ling Xiao, are you willing to follow me to the city?"
Ji Ning suddenly stood up and asked.
"Of course!"
Ling Xiao came for military merits, so naturally, he couldn't let Northern Desert City be destroyed.
As long as Northern Desert City didn't fall, he had enough opportunities to earn military merits.
Walking on the city wall, Ling Xiao could clearly feel that although the city looked simple, there were actually some mysteries around the city gate. There were quite powerful formations and formations set up.
As long as they defended the city to the death, unless they ran out of supplies, the enemy would have to spend at least ten times the number of people to be able to take down the city.
On the city wall, most of the soldiers were injured and looked very tired.
However, there wasn't the slightest bit of discouragement or fear on their faces. There was only determination and decisiveness.
However, Ling Xiao also realized that perhaps because of the constant attacks, there were many flaws in the formations and formations on the city wall.
Although they had been maintained, they weren't perfectly repaired.
Moreover, some of the formations seemed to Ling Xiao to be able to be upgraded and modified.
It could be seen that the formation talents under Ji Ning were still not good enough.
Thinking of this, he silently remembered all these in his heart. He was prepared to talk to Ji Ning after designing the new formations and formations to see if they could be upgraded and modified.
"General, how many soldiers and soldiers are there in Northern Desert City?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"About two hundred thousand. Among them, only forty thousand are considered a regular army. The rest are civilians."
Ji Ning didn't know why Ling Xiao asked these questions, but ever since the incident with the empty city strategy, his trust in Ling Xiao had obviously increased.
"It's best to mobilize all of them. Otherwise, there's no chance of winning this battle."
Ling Xiao said what Ji Ning knew but wasn't willing to admit.
Because the scouts just now reported that the Black Crow Empire's army had a total of one million soldiers. If the two hundred thousand vanguard troops were added, it would be one million and two hundred thousand.
But the total number of soldiers and soldiers in Northern Desert City was only two hundred thousand, which was a fraction of the others.
The Divine Phoenix Empire's army wasn't small, and there were also many soldiers. However, because of the Emperor, he wasn't willing to give Northern Desert City a source of soldiers, which resulted in there being so few soldiers here.
In fact, about five kilometers away from Northern Desert City, there was another city. There were more than five hundred thousand soldiers stationed there!
However, Ji Ning and Ling Xiao both knew that those people wouldn't come to rescue them. They could only rely on them for this battle.
