Ling Xiao had already sensed the impending danger, so he let Hime Myung-kō and Cold Plum leave first.
However, Timur Mutu was too fast. He was so fast that no one had a chance to catch their breath.
A huge hand that covered the sky tore through the void and slapped towards Ling Xiao, intending to kill Ling Xiao on the spot.
Boom!
An explosion sounded in the air.
Mutu's hand was intercepted by another hand.
It was Ji Ning!
If Ling Xiao could sense Mutu's aura, so could Ji Ning.
"Hehe, you, the commander of an army, actually dared to take the risk to fight for such a brat?"
Timur Mutu looked at Ji Ning in surprise.
"Didn't you, the commander of an army, also take the risk to fight to kill him?"
Ji Ning stood in front of Ling Xiao. Wearing his armor, he looked like a war god.
"Let's go!"
Ling Xiao knew what to do at this time. He turned his head to look at Hime Myung-kō and Cold Plum, then quickly left.
However, he didn't go to Northern Desert City. Instead, he went to Northern Desert Pass.
As the Military Governor, he naturally had the right to open the city gates.
"General Sikong, I have already dealt with the 100 Black Crow Knights. As the Great General, shouldn't you set an example? Other than you and Great General Ji Ning, no one is a match for Timur Mutu. Now is the time to make contributions. You can't hide in this pass. "
"General Zhenbei, please fight!"
Feng Qingyan and Lv Chenglong also said loudly.
"General Zhenbei, please fight and strengthen our country!"
Countless soldiers of the Imperial City Barracks also shouted in unison. Their voices resounded throughout the entire Northern Desert Pass.
Sikong Zun narrowed his eyes and looked at Ling Xiao. He was a little angry.
Although Timur Mutu was also a Yin-Yang Realm expert, he was obviously stronger than Ji Ning and him. If he went out, he would definitely be injured.
What a sinister brat.
But he had never thought that if he had instigated so many officers and soldiers to throw away their lives, wouldn't that be even more sinister and vicious?
"Ling Xiao, what exactly are you thinking? The Great General was the commander-in-chief of an army. How could he rashly go into battle? If something happens, won't the army fall into chaos? "
Jia Yun stood out and said.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Young Master Jia doesn't need to worry about this. Even if General Sikong dies in battle, the Imperial City Barracks still has General Lu.
Moreover, the Great General had said that if we were to hide in the city, we would be seen as cowardly and cowardly. That would damage the morale of our army!
Regardless of life or death, as long as he dared to fight, he would be proud, and he would be recorded as a meritorious deed!
Since that was the case, the general should set an example.
Could it be that the Great General was truly afraid of death? Will that disappoint everyone? "
"What a vicious brat. Doesn't that mean I have to fight?"
Sikong Zun's face darkened. Ling Xiao's words put him in a difficult position.
He didn't have much control over the Imperial City Barracks to begin with. If he didn't fight today, those people would look down on him even more.
But if he fought, what if something happened?
He definitely couldn't get injured now. Otherwise, there would definitely be people who would seize the opportunity to seize power.
"Great General, the Divine Phoenix Empire's officers and soldiers can bleed and lose their lives. Don't tell me that you, the Lightning Demon King of the True Devil Empire, can't bleed a little?"
Ling Xiao's words were simply heartbreaking.
His words hit the nail on the head.
Once again, the Imperial City Barracks' officers and soldiers clearly saw Sikong Zun's true colors.
This person was indeed a spy from the True Devil Empire. Otherwise, why would he incite the Divine Phoenix Empire's officers and soldiers to throw away their lives?
When it was his turn to fight, he refused to do so?
"Impudent. Ling Xiao, even though you're the Military Governor, you can't slander this marshal. This marshal now suspects that your secret edict is fake! Men, capture this thief and interrogate him properly! "
Sikong Zun finally revealed his ferocious side. He would rather lose some control than get injured. So even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't fight.
"I'll see who dares to make a move!"
Feng Qingyan coldly said: "Who exactly is the spy? We'll know when we return to the Imperial City. Since the Great General is afraid to fight, then let me assist Great General Ji Ning. Ling Xiao, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Ling Xiao and leaped out of the mountain pass.
After sending Ling Xiao to Northern Desert City, he joined the battle with Timur Mu Tu.
Ji Ning was indeed not Mu Tu's match by himself, but with Feng Qingyan's help, at least he wouldn't be defeated in a short period of time.
However, the more the two fought, the more frightened they became. This Mu Tu's strength was truly terrifying. If the two of them joined hands, something might happen after a long time.
"Retreat!"
Originally, Ji Ning joined the battle to save Ling Xiao. Now that Ling Xiao was fine, he didn't need to continue fighting with Mu Tu.
The two of them looked at each other, then retreated almost at the same time and leaped up the city wall.
"Activate the defensive formation!"
Zhuge Ming gave the order.
When Mu Tu was chasing, he was attacked by the formation. A gust of wind rose, and then yellow sand filled the sky. Mu Tu had to stop chasing.
He also frowned.
"It seems that a forceful attack won't work. We can only use tactics!"
He turned and flew back to the Black Crow Empire's army. Then, the army retreated and set up camp.
"Master, do you have a good plan?"
Tomohiko Kuma rode on the Black Crow and asked Timur Mu Tu.
"You first."
Mu Tu said.
"A forceful attack won't work, but we can use tactics."
"Great minds think alike, hahahaha!"
…
It was late at night, and the wind in the Northern Desert was very strong.
The Black Crow Empire wouldn't choose to attack the Northern Desert City under such circumstances, so all the soldiers could rest at ease for the time being.
"Report —!"
Ji Ning, who was resting with his eyes closed and ready to fight at any time, suddenly heard a loud shout from outside.
"What's the matter?"
"Reporting to the Great General, General Lv Chenglong requests to see you!"
"General Lv? What is he doing here? Invite him in! "
Ji Ning and Lv Chenglong used to be comrades in the past, so naturally, he was very close. When he heard that Lv Chenglong had come, he happily invited him in.
"Hahaha, Great General, I haven't seen you for many years. You're still as brave as ever. You didn't lose in the battle with Mu Tu today."
Lv Chenglong walked into the hall and gave Ji Ning a bear hug. The relationship between the two was obvious.
"Chenglong, didn't you say anything when you came to the Sikong Zun this time?"
Ji Ning asked in confusion.
"Great General, it was the Sikong Zun who asked me to come. He said that he wanted to invite you and Ling Xiao to a banquet to discuss the matter of joining forces against the enemy."
Lv Chenglong said solemnly.
"He's sincere about joining forces?"
Ji Ning didn't believe it.
Lv Chenglong also sighed and said, "Whether he's sincere or not, I really don't know. Moreover, this banquet is very likely to be a trap. However, this is all my speculation. I still have to tell you what I should tell you. Otherwise, if we miss the opportunity to join forces, I'm afraid it will be my responsibility."
Ji Ning tapped the table lightly and thought for a long time before saying, "How can you catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den? Even if this banquet is really a trap, I still have to go. Didn't the Holy Emperor State also go to the Banquet of Murder? In the end, the Sacred Dynasty was revived. Why can't I go? "
He had no choice but to go.
If he didn't go, once something happened to the Northern Desert City in the future, the Sikong Zun could use the excuse that he broke the unity and refused to join forces against the enemy. In the end, someone else would still have something against him.
