Ling Xiao had once asked Meng Tong and Xin if they wanted to find something safe and relaxing to do so that they could live more comfortably.
But both of them had refused.
They liked the feeling of fighting on the battlefield and guarding the borders for Ling Xiao.
They said that if everyone wanted to live a comfortable life, who would be willing to guard the borders?
It was precisely because they were Ling Xiao's friends that they were more willing to do so.
Their voices were still echoing in Ling Xiao's ears as if it were yesterday.
"Have their bodies been recovered?"
At this moment, Ling Xiao appeared very calm, so calm that it was frightening.
Fan Ruohai understood that Ling Xiao's anger had reached its limit, and the intense anger was suppressed in his heart.
The moment they arrived at Black Raven City, Ling Xiao's anger would completely erupt.
"Hateful! The two generals' bodies were hung in front of the two armies, exposed to the scorching sun!
They were eaten by the black crows, it was simply too horrible to look at!
They declared that the martial artists of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire were all trash, unable to even take back the two generals' bodies.
The soldiers wanted to kill their way out of the city. At worst, they would die in battle, but they couldn't bear it.
However, City Lord Shangguan stopped them. "
The messenger said again.
"You did the right thing! Shangguan Hong did the right thing! "
Ling Xiao gnashed his teeth as he spoke. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his teeth and dripped onto the ground. He felt as if his heart was being stabbed.
He swore that he would let the Sea Race, the Silver Fox Empire, and the Tianhai Empire taste pain a thousand times worse than this!
He wants the Tianhai Empire and the Silver Fox Empire to be completely wiped out! "
"Find a place to rest, there's no need to send a message back. Brother Fan, let's go."
Ling Xiao looked at the sky and broke through it, his speed even faster than before. The air was filled with dense killing intent.
Fan Ruohai followed closely behind.
He knew that the enemy's goal was very simple. They wanted to kill Ling Xiao.
He also knew that Ling Xiao was well aware of this, but he set off without hesitation.
This was the responsibility of an emperor.
It was the duty of a loyal friend.
There was nothing wrong with becoming friends with Ling Xiao.
"Perhaps one day, when I'm in trouble, I won't be afraid that no one will avenge me."
Fan Ruohai smiled. He was even more determined to join forces with Ling Xiao.
…
Outside Black Raven City, corpses were everywhere.
There were the corpses of the allied forces, as well as the corpses of the Heavenly Empire's soldiers.
Two of the corpses were hung high in the air about a mile away from Black Raven City. Everyone could see them clearly.
The corpse was already in tatters, narrating the pain and torture it had suffered.
In Black Raven City, not a single soldier was in good condition.
Everyone was injured.
In order to protect the city and prevent the allied army from invading and harming the tens of millions of civilians behind the city walls, Black Raven City had to be protected.
They were all doing their best.
None of them were cowards.
The original 200,000 soldiers, plus the 300,000 reinforcements from the nearby cities.
Out of a total of five hundred thousand soldiers, only about a hundred thousand remained.
But they still refused to back down.
More of the enemy had died, so they thought that even if they died now, it would be worth it.
Relying on the breathing time bought by Xin and Meng Yong's life, the soldiers were working hard to repair the city walls, preparing for the final battle.
On the city wall, Shangguan Hong's head was wrapped in a white cloth, but it was already dyed red by the blood that seeped out.
His armor was broken in many places, and there were hundreds of terrible wounds on his body.
An ordinary person would have been dead by now.
But Shangguan Hong was not dead.
On the contrary, he was still using his last breath to command the battle.
The longer he could hold on, the more hope he had.
Beside him was a female general, dressed in a bright red battle robe. It was unknown whether it was originally red or dyed red by blood.
Surprisingly, there was no fear in her eyes. Instead, they were filled with determination.
She was Shangguan Hong's junior sister.
It was Ling Xiao who had rescued her from the Enchanted Island of the Sacred Dynasty.
Since then, she had been by Shangguan Hong's side.
Wherever Shang Guan Hong went, she would follow. She had never complained about it.
On the other side was another female general. She used to live in this black desert and was also rescued by Ling Xiao.
Since then, she had changed her name and called herself "Ling Sha".
Ling wanted to remember her benefactor, Ling Xiao.
Sha wanted to remember that she lived here.
Ling Sha's injuries were not lighter than Shangguan Hong's.
But the stubborn woman refused to back down.
The three of them looked at the two tortured corpses in the distance, their hearts full of anger.
"City Lord, since we can't hold on anymore, why don't we just kill our way out? No matter what, we can't let the corpses of the two generals continue to be humiliated."
Ling Sha's temper was more violent.
So even if she understood Shangguan Hong's thoughts, she still could not stand her own people being tortured like this.
"Senior Brother, let's kill our way out and fight those sons of bitches!"
Shangguan Hong's junior sister also said.
Since she came to Black Raven City, Meng Tong and Xin had taken good care of her. How could she bear to see these two generals hung on the high flagpoles and exposed to the scorching sun all day long?
Eaten by the black crows.
"What's there to be afraid of? We're not afraid. City Lord, please make up your mind! We don't want to be cowards. Even if we die in battle, we won't compromise like this! "
"Kill our way out! General! "
"Kill!"
The nearby soldiers were all shouting loudly, everyone's eyes seemed to be filled with blood.
Shangguan Hong looked ahead indifferently. When everyone's emotions calmed down, he said indifferently, "If you have this strength, why don't you think about how to deal with the enemy's next attack?
Isn't it easy to die?
Even if you die, you should die with value! "
"But City Lord, are you just going to ignore the two generals like this?"
"Shut up!"
Shangguan Hong looked coldly at the person who spoke and said, "Don't you understand my words? Whoever dares to disobey the military order, I'll let him die now, as long as you don't think it's useless to die like this! "
Although he was very young, he had never dared to slack off since Ling Xiao gave him the responsibility of guarding Black Raven City.
From the beginning, everyone was dissatisfied.
Until now, every order was strictly enforced.
He had spent a long time working hard.
Here, everyone knew his temper. If he said to kill, then he would definitely kill. He would never be soft-hearted.
Although the soldiers were not afraid of death, it was too useless to die in the hands of their own people. They would rather die on the battlefield.
"Pass down the order. Hurry up and repair the city wall. Organize the supplies. Later, you will have a chance to fight. Even if you don't want to, you can't escape."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shang Guan Hong immediately issued a second order.
"Yes!"
The soldiers who received the order continued to busy themselves with the work at hand.
However, at this time, people suddenly saw a figure rushing in the direction of the flagpole.
"It's a civilian warrior!"
Ling Sha shouted in surprise.
"Come back!"
Shangguan Hong was anxious.
He could obey orders in the army, but he really couldn't control these civilian warriors.
There was no way to control them.
