Sikong Zun was defending himself from the arrows and the formation as he shouted, "Ling Xiao, don't talk nonsense! It was Ji Ning who destroyed the unity and plotted against me. He then ordered his men to attack Northern Desert Pass. That was why the Black Crow Army took advantage of the situation and killed tens of thousands of soldiers. If you want to talk about crimes, Ji Ning is the one who deserves the most blame!"
The murderous intent in Ling Xiao's eyes intensified as he listened to Sikong Zun's excuses.
This despicable and shameless man had set up a Hongmen Banquet in the name of unity but allowed the Black Crow Empire to sneak into the banquet.
Sikong Zun had hurt himself and caused Ji Ning to be plotted against and shot with a poisonous arrow.
Not only that, he had ordered his men to kill Ling Xiao and Ji Ning secretly.
If it was not for the assassin, both of them would have died in vain.
It was this shameless man again. He had seen the Black Crow Army coming but he did not listen to advice and insisted on sending his men to kill the Northern Desert Army.
In the end, the Imperial City Barracks was surrounded and half of them were killed or injured.
It was this shameless man who had sneaked away when the Black Crow Army was attacking Northern Desert Pass. He had caused Feng Qingyan, Lv Chenglong, and thousands of soldiers to be captured alive.
That man's crimes were simply too numerous to be recorded. Yet, he actually dared to make false accusations and push the bucket of shit onto Ji Ning's head.
What a shameless bastard!
"Bullsh * t!"
Ling Xiao shouted angrily, "If I were you, I would have killed myself on the battlefield. How dare you stay here and distort the truth?
As the Commander-in-Chief, you did not care about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and insisted on abandoning Northern Desert Pass as a barrier to attack the Northern Desert Army who had given up on the battle.
That was why blood flowed like a river and countless casualties!
In the battle of Northern Desert Pass, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lv Chenglong and Feng Qingyan were captured. They were heroes. What about you? You sneaked away? How dare you make such a fuss here?
If you had joined the battle, how could Mu Tu have captured all of you alive?
You still dare to say that you have no secret dealings with the Black Crow Empire?
The Northern Desert City had stood tall in the Northern Region for more than ten years, and after you came, you made a mess. Even General Ji Ning was poisoned and unconscious. How dare you shamelessly put the blame on him?
You said that General Ji Ning colluded with the Black Crow Empire?
What a joke. General Ji Ning has made countless contributions over the past decade and killed countless warriors of the Black Crow Empire. Do you think that he will have a good time after joining the Black Crow Empire?
What about you? You haven't achieved an inch of merit, but you have killed countless officers and soldiers. I say, what's wrong with you flirting with that Tomohiko Kuma? "
Ling Xiao's words were like sharp swords stabbing into Sikong Zun's heart.
Even the soldiers of the Northern Desert Army, who were still a little confused, now completely understood.
Ling Xiao's words were actually meant for them to hear.
"You don't have any evidence. What's the point of saying all this?"
Sikong Zun sneered as he hid out of the shooting range.
"Haha, when we return to the Imperial City, you will know whether I have evidence or not! Unless you scram back to your True Devil Empire or hide in the Black Crow Empire, otherwise, I will definitely expose the true face of a greedy spy in front of everyone in the Imperial City. "
Although Ling Xiao had some evidence, it was not enough. However, the Dark Thorn was still in the midst of an intense investigation.
He would never let go of this old dog, Sikong Zun!
"Alright, then let's see who will be judged in public and who will die first!"
Sikong Zun sneered. "I will wait for you in the Imperial City. I hope you don't die prematurely in the hands of the Black Crow Army. Hahaha."
"Don't worry, I won't die because I still have to keep my life to take your dog's head. And the True Demonic Empire that you are so proud of, I will completely raze it to the ground!"
If Ling Xiao dared to say this today, he would dare to do it in the future. He had never let go of anyone he wanted to kill.
It was just a matter of time.
Dealing with Sikong Zun was a difficult task, but he was not afraid. With this kind of motivation, he could grow faster.
"Qin Huo, tonight is the time to reverse the situation. From now on, no matter what happens outside the city, no matter how many groups of people they kill, bear with it!"
Ling Xiao took a deep breath.
The most difficult moment was now. However, as long as they could get through it, they would win!
…
In the first hour, a hundred captives were killed.
Not only did the people of the Black Crow Empire kill them, but they also deliberately raised high poles and hung their corpses there so that the people of the Northern Desert City could see them all the time.
In the second hour, another hundred captives were killed.
Finally, at this time, the first unforeseen event occurred in the Northern Desert City. Zhang Yufei's subordinates were killed by Ling Xiao because they spread the word that they wanted to surrender.
Although this matter was temporarily suppressed, it was inevitable that the people in the city were panicking.
In order to defeat the enemy, Ling Xiao gathered all the generals and generals in the meeting hall to plan the battle strategy.
However, at this time, Zhang Yufei angrily roared, "What plan? If this goes on, not only will the captives outside be killed, even our own people will be killed by you!
There are only a little more than thirty thousand defenders in the city. Moreover, the people are panicking and their morale is low. On the other hand, the Black Raven Empire's morale is high. Everyone is united. How can we defeat them? Do you want to kill the people of the city?
Ling Xiao did not get angry. Instead, he asked coldly, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"Hmph, my dead subordinate said it best. Since the Black Crow Empire said that they will not invade, we should surrender for the sake of the people in the city. What does personal honor mean? The people are the key. This is the will of the General."
Zhang Yufei coldly snorted.
"Pa!"
When Ling Xiao heard this, he slammed his palm on the table and roared, "Zhang Yufei, I said before that whoever dares to shake the morale of the army will be killed without mercy! Not only do you shake the morale of the army, but your intentions are also punishable. Men, drag Zhang Yufei out and behead him as a warning to others! "
"How dare you!"
Zhang Yufei roared angrily, "When I was fighting with the Great General, you were still wet in your pants somewhere. How dare you kill me?"
"What are you all standing there for? Are my orders useless? This person not only shakes the morale of the army, but also dares to offend his superiors. His crimes are not punishable. Drag him out and behead him! "
Ling Xiao was abnormally enraged.
At this moment, Zhuge Ming stood up and said, "Overseer, Commander Zhang is just speaking out of anger. Don't take it to heart. He is only doing it for the people. He definitely doesn't want to betray us."
"He's not wrong? Could it be that I'm wrong? Come on, throw Zhuge Ming out. Whoever dares to plead for mercy will be punished as well! "
Ling Xiao was practically roaring.
Zhuge Ming was thrown out of the meeting hall by the Dark Thorn soldiers.
"Overseer, please show mercy."
At this moment, Li Ruguang led dozens of generals and commanders to kneel down and plead for mercy for Zhang Yufei.
Even Qin Huo said, "Commander, General Zhang is an old subordinate of the General. If you kill him, the morale of the army will be shaken and it will be harder to deal with."
