The battle was still going on in Divine Phoenix City. Ling Xiao had just returned to the Imperial Palace and was planning to catch up with a few close friends before discussing how to deal with the Sea Race and the Silver Fox Empire.
Xie Li, Feng Ming, Piao Xue, Lan Yu 'er, Dai Yuling, Dai Yaoling, Ling Luo, Hime Myung-kō, and so on.
These were all his friends who resided in Divine Phoenix City.
Xie Li's cultivation was the most terrifying. She was already at the 16th level of the Yin Yang Realm.
Even so, her cultivation was much higher than Ling Xiao's in the past. But now, she was completely surpassed by Ling Xiao. It was quite sad.
The friends gathered and ate delicious food while talking about what had happened to them these days.
At this moment, a war beast suddenly collapsed outside the city gate. The soldier on the war beast was covered in blood. He was obviously seriously injured.
The soldiers guarding the city hurried over to help him up and asked about the situation.
"It's urgent!"
The seriously injured soldier grabbed the soldiers guarding the city and said these words. Then, as if he had relaxed, his head tilted, and he fainted.
The soldiers guarding the city reported this to their superiors.
Their superiors knew that the situation was urgent. They ordered people to bring the fainted soldier to the Imperial Palace with the urgent military report.
The report quickly reached the Imperial Palace.
Ling Xiao stood up abruptly and apologized. With a flash of his figure, he dashed out.
Under normal circumstances, urgent military reports would only be sent if there was a great crisis at the border.
The others followed him out.
"Yuling, Yaoling, I'll have to trouble you two. Give him the best treatment. You must keep him alive!"
These two were now working in the imperial hospital of the Celestial Empire, so Ling Xiao naturally believed in their medical skills.
"Understood."
Dai Yuling, Dai Yaoling, and Lan Yu 'er hurried to save him.
Ling Xiao took out the military report and read it.
"The Silver Fox Empire and the Tianhai Empire suddenly attacked Black Crow City together with the Sea Race. Black Crow City is now in danger. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are in danger!
Please send reinforcements!
Black Crow City's City Lord, Border General Shangguan Hong! "
Ling Xiao read out the military report.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the battle report, Qin Huo immediately grew anxious. His cultivation had yet to recover. However, it should be known that he was one of the generals in charge of guarding Black Crow City, subordinate to Shang Guan Hong.
"Qin Huo, your injuries have not healed completely. Don't worry."
Ling Xiao lowered his head, thinking about the reason for the sudden outbreak of this war.
Clearly, his return to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire was the fuse.
The other party could not wait any longer.
Not only had the Silver Fox Empire joined forces with the Sea Race, but even the Tianhai Empire had joined in.
Black Raven City had become a dangerous trap.
These people wanted him to go there.
If he didn't go, he would be breaking his promise to the people of the empire. How could he still be the Celestial Thearch? He was simply a coward.
In the future, within the Celestial Empire, there would probably be no martial artists who would believe the bold words he had once said.
If he went, it would be a trap, and he might not be able to save Shangguan Hong and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Black Raven City.
Even he might die there.
How should he choose?
Ling Xiao abruptly looked in the direction of Black Raven City.
"Xie Li, listen to my order. I order you to guard Divine Phoenix City and assist Wu Xiang. You must not rashly mobilize the army of Divine Phoenix City."
Ling Xiao said loudly.
"This subordinate obeys."
Xie Li understood that Ling Xiao was worried that this was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If Divine Phoenix City was not heavily guarded, the other party was likely to come here.
"All of you stay here and perform your duties. Brother Fan, let's go to Black Raven City. Do you dare to come with me?"
Ling Xiao did not want to mobilize any other forces because he was almost certain that this was a conspiracy.
If he mobilized the army of other places, the Sea Race would take advantage of this opportunity to invade.
Therefore, he did not plan to bring many people to Black Raven City this time. Only Fan Ruohai was enough.
"What's there to be afraid of? You gave me my life."
Fan Ruohai smiled. "Just now, I heard that the Tianhai Empire also participated in this battle. This time, I'll have a good fight. I'll kill a few Tianhai bastards to avenge my brother!"
"Good brother! I, Ling Xiao, did not misjudge you! "
The friendship between Ling Xiao and Fan Ruohai grew from nothing to something. After numerous battles of life and death, they gradually became friends who would die for each other.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. The two of you will have to face thousands of soldiers and horses. There may be powerful enemies waiting to ambush you. I'm afraid this trip will be extremely dangerous."
Xie Li hurriedly said.
"There's no need to discuss this matter. Hundreds of thousands of lives in Black Raven City are waiting for us to save. Even if it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, I must go.
Shang Guan Hong is my good brother, and those soldiers at the border are also fighting for me, Ling Xiao. How can I abandon them? "
Ling Xiao waved his hand. "When Wu Xiang comes back, tell him not to act rashly. Guard Divine Phoenix City well and pay close attention to the nearby movements.
Tell him that this is an order and there's no room for discussion! "
After saying this, Ling Xiao immediately broke through the air and flew away.
Fan Ruohai followed closely behind.
The two of them did not even want the airship.
Although the airship could conserve internal energy, how could it possibly be faster than the two of them?
The two Lifeseizers didn't care if it was day or night, and as they flew along, they caught sight of another messenger.
Without any hesitation, they intercepted the messenger.
"Your Majesty!"
The messenger was also covered with wounds, clearly having been pulled out of a slaughterhouse.
"What's the situation?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"The enemy is too strong! We fought with everything we had, but we still suffered heavy losses!"
The messenger gripped Ling Xiao's legs tightly. "General Xin tried to assassinate an enemy commander in the middle of the night, but was captured and killed.
General Meng Tong went to rescue General Xin, and died with honor. Hundreds of other brave soldiers died with him.
That said, their deaths weren't in vain.
Before General Xin and General Meng Tong died, they set fire to the enemy encampment, which put a stop to the enemy's advance.
I'm guessing they'll be able to buy us a day or two.
They were all very brave. Even in death, they didn't surrender to the enemy. Good men! "
Although it was an honor, Ling Xiao felt pain in his heart when he heard it.
A heart-wrenching pain!
He had rescued Meng Tong and Xin from Pipa Island, and from that moment on, they had been comrades in life and death.
They had participated in a series of battles, including the destruction of the new True Devil Empire, the defeat of the Divine Phoenix Empire, and the Black Crow Empire.
They had outstanding military service, and were loyal and devoted to Ling Xiao.
Most importantly, they were very special friends to Ling Xiao.
They were people who had stuck by his side when he was in trouble.
Although their cultivation bases could not keep up with the geniuses and rising stars of the younger generation, they were still cautious and conscientious in the service of the empire.
They were guarding the border for Ling Xiao.
