The soldiers of the Northern Desert City were used to being scolded like this. They were completely stupefied and treated it as if dogs were barking below them.
Although they did not care, the soldiers of the Imperial City Barracks could not stand it.
The Imperial City Barracks had been near the Imperial City for a long time and had not experienced a real battle for a long time. They were completely incomparable to the border guards.
More importantly, they were the signboard of the Divine Phoenix Empire. This time, they were here to help the Emperor eradicate the Black Crow Empire's army and gain military merits.
If they hid in the city and did not dare to go out, how embarrassing would that be?
A cold smile appeared on Sikong Zun's face as he looked at the restless army, and then he shouted loudly, "Ji Ning is incompetent and can suffer such humiliation, but the soldiers of our expedition army are all brave men and can't suffer such humiliation. Who is willing to go out and kill those Black Crow bastards?"
"We are willing to go!"
Almost everyone in the Imperial City Barracks shouted loudly.
"Good! All of you want to gain military merits. I, Sikong Zun, will not side with anyone. Fifty of you from the Phoenix Academy, step forward. Fifty of you from the Qingxu College, step forward! "
Sikong Zun said loudly.
Soon, a hundred people were gathered. They rode out of the Northern Desert Pass on their bears.
Only then did the Northern Desert City Barracks realize that something was wrong.
"Oh no, these people are too impatient. The Black Crow Empire's soldiers are the elites of the Black Crow Knights. The weakest among them is at the Three Talents Realm and they are good at fighting. If these people go out, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back!"
Zhuge Ming said anxiously.
"I'm afraid it's not that they are impatient. Someone is purposely sending them to their deaths."
Ji Ning said coldly, "This Emperor is really rotten to the core. In order to protect his power, he is willing to take the lives of these loyal and patriotic soldiers as a joke."
"I don't understand. What good will it do for the Emperor if these people die?"
Li Ruguang asked.
"You still don't understand? Not only does the Emperor want to cripple me, but he also wants to cripple Feng Qingyan and Lv Chenglong. If this battle fails, even if the three of us don't die on the battlefield, we will be framed to death by him. "
Ji Ning said with a sigh, "I'm afraid that the Emperor and the Black Crow Empire have reached some kind of agreement. Otherwise, the Black Crow Empire would not choose to send their army at this time.... this goes against common sense....."
Hearing Ji Ning's words, everyone was shocked.
.............................................
"Stop right there! Whoever dares to fight without permission, don't blame me for being merciless! "
......................................
........... .. I respect you as a genius from Qingxu College. I have high hopes for you. Are you going to be the Black Crow Empire's lackey today? "
The leader was a student from Qingxu College. He had graduated a long time ago and was now a guard captain in the army.
Seeing Ling Xiao pulling the bow, he did not look happy. He turned around and said to the others, "You guys go first. I want to see if this Ling Xiao dares to shoot his fellow students with arrows."
The others continued to move forward. Ling Xiao's hands were shaking.
For the first time, he felt that he was so incompetent and helpless.
"You don't want to shoot? Then I'll go! "
The senior from Qingxu College turned around and caught up with the troops.
A hundred savage bear riders against a hundred elite Black Crow Riders.
Seeing the hundred people approaching, the Black Crow Riders showed a ferocious expression.
Everyone crept behind them.
Almost at the same time, they nocked their bows and shot.
It was obvious that they had practiced this cooperation many times. There was almost no pause.
When the hundred savage bear riders were less than fifty meters away, they all shot their bows and arrows.
Each person shot one arrow. They were all excellent archers!
The tragic savage bear riders fell to the ground one by one before they could get close to these people.
Some of them died, and some of them fell off their mounts.
"Kill!"
The Black Crow Riders roared in unison and rushed out.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the soldiers who had fallen to the ground.
The long spears in their hands pierced into their bodies without mercy.
What!
The senior from Qingxu College was delayed by Ling Xiao for a moment, so he did not die from the arrow. However, his heart was pierced by a spear.
At the moment when he was about to die, he turned around and looked at the city wall.
He looked at Ling Xiao with a regretful expression.
He regretted not only because he died in battle.
But also because all the people under his command died in battle.
"Bastard!"
Ling Xiao was so angry that he punched the city wall. There was an indescribable anger in his chest.
He hated the people of the Black Crow Empire, and he hated the old dog Sikong Zun even more!
If it were not for Sikong Zun, these people would not have come out to die.
However, Sikong Zun was laughing happily in his heart.
He pretended to be sad and angry and shouted, "The Black Crow bastards are despicable and shameless. They used bows and arrows to launch a sneak attack. The men of the Godly Phoenix Empire are all good! Who is willing to fight and avenge them? "
"I am willing!"
It was another soldier from Qingxu College. He was a centurion.
He could not sit by and do nothing when he saw his fellow disciples and comrades die tragically.
"Good, the soldiers of Qingxu College are all good. Who else is willing to fight? If they die in battle, I will definitely reward them and take good care of their families! "
Sikong Zun continued to fan the flames.
"I am willing!"
"Me too!"
"It is my duty to kill the Black Crow bastards!"
Soldiers were like this. They were all straightforward people and did not have many dirty thoughts. How could they know that their commander was deliberately sending them to their deaths?
They really wanted to avenge their fallen comrades.
"Old dog Sikong, you deserve to die!"
Ling Xiao's eyes turned red when he saw another hundred Steel Cavalry charging out from the Northern Desert Pass.
He was not a cold and heartless person.
Soldiers who were both brave and loyal had to make such a meaningless sacrifice. It really made one feel both grief and indignation.
"Hime Myung-kō, Cold Plum, follow me to battle!"
Cold Plum had already arranged for people from the Dark Assassins to infiltrate the Black Crow Empire's camp. However, she was too big of a target, so she came back. Otherwise, she would not be able to help and might even expose her comrades.
At this time, Ling Xiao was too far away from the pass. He could not stop Sikong Zun from doing anything. The only thing he could do now was to fight in person.
"Ling Xiao, don't be impulsive. The enemy is too strong. You are no match for them."
Ji Ning shouted.
"But Great General, do you want me to watch those good men throw away their lives without doing anything? I really can't do that! "
Ling Xiao shook his head.
Ji Ning could not answer.
If he saw the soldiers of the Northern Desert Pass die for no reason, he would also go out to stop them, even if it was very dangerous.
"Brother Ling, if you insist on fighting, take this with you."
Zhuge Ming took out something. It was a blooming lotus, but it gave people a feeling of extreme danger.
"Its name is' Immortal Wrath Lotus'. It's an ancient puppet hidden weapon that I got from the ancient tomb. Unfortunately, after it was repaired, its power is not as strong as before. But no matter what, it can still help you. It can definitely delay the attack of the Black Crow Knight."
