"If we want to defend Gushan Pass, we can't just defend passively. We have to defeat them and force them to retreat!"
Xia Zelei, the Freedom King, said as he looked at the enemy troops in the distance.
In the face of millions of soldiers, he chose not to defend but to take the initiative to attack!
"I am willing to fight the enemy with my Lord!"
Li Yuanba patted his chest and said. His eyes were filled with a fiery battle intent, and he even seemed to be itching for a fight.
"You ….."
Xia Zelei was glad that Li Yuanba was on his side. If he was from the enemy country, he would have a headache.
Not only did he defend Gushan Pass, but he also defeated two Martial King Intermediate Elites!
Such a battle record was enough to make him famous.
Now, they just had to wait for the Steel Cavalry to arrive.
Xia Zelei had a lot of confidence in the Steel Cavalry.
Gushan Pass entered a temporary period of peace. However, everyone knew that under this peace, there was a storm.
Twilight City.
Early in the morning, there was a trace of blue in the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, waking up the guards who were almost asleep on the city wall.
"What's going on?"
One of the guards rubbed his eyes and stood up.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, an arrow flashed past, bringing with it a rain of blood. The guard fell to the ground.
And one of his companions just happened to see this scene.
"Enemy attack!"
The alarm bell at the gate of the city was suddenly rung. The entire Twilight City was awakened by the sound of the alarm.
"There are troops stationed at the border. How could there be an enemy attack?"
The Sovereign asked doubtfully after hearing the report.
Although the situation at Gushan Pass was tense, the troops at the other border posts did not move. Instead, they were on high alert. Logically speaking, even if there was a battle, there should be a report from the frontline. How could there be enemy troops at the city gate?
"It's ….. It's Marshal Li ….."
The messenger knelt on the ground and spoke in a low voice.
"Marshal Li?"
Jun Zhu, who was tidying his clothes, was startled. Then, his pupils constricted. "Li Zhengping?"
Ever since the news of the battle at the Ancient Mountain Pass came, the Li Clan had disappeared into thin air. There had been no news of them since then. And now, King Xiaoyao had also led his troops to the front line. But now, Li Zhengping had appeared.
The Monarch suddenly had a bad feeling.
As the Grand Marshal of the military, Li Zhengping must have been infiltrated by the Li Clan after so many years.
"Traitor!"
The monarch clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Summon all the counts to the palace for a meeting!"
By the time he arrived at the grand hall, all of the nobles in the city were already waiting for him.
On their faces, there was fear, uneasiness, and impatience … They were all aristocrats who lived like princes. Most of them were hereditary nobles. When had they ever seen such a situation?
Especially those nobles who had once sided with Seventh Princess Xia Ziling, they were now even more uneasy.
They knew very well what Li Zheng Ping's goal was in coming to the city.
"What's the situation? Li Zheng … What was that bastard trying to do? Is he rebelling? "
The monarch slammed the dragon throne, and his voice was like thunder. All the nobles in the grand hall knelt down.
They were afraid of Li Zheng Ping and his army, but they were even more afraid of the royal family.
"Your Majesty, there is a rumor that Marshal Li wants to capture the bewitching demoness Xia Ziling to get rid of the Monarch …"
Someone in the grand hall replied.
"Demoness?"
The monarch's eyes widened. "That bastard dares to say that my daughter is a demoness?"
"Li Zheng Ping, you bastard!"
The last sentence almost came out from the gaps between his teeth.
However, he felt bitter in his heart.
In this city, there were not many people who were willing to help him.
This was because there were still many nobles who stood on the side of the Li Clan.
After all, the Li Clan had the Second Prince!
As long as the Second Prince could ascend to the throne, the Li Clan would only have merit and would not have any mistakes.
"Damn it!"
The monarch snorted in his heart.
Thinking about it, Li Zheng Ping instigated the alliance of the two countries to attack the Ancient Mountain Pass just to lure King Xiaoyao away. Li Zheng Ping's real objective was Twilight City!
What a deep calculation.
This was something that he and King Xiaoyao did not expect.
"Your Majesty, I think we should hand over the Demon … Seventh Princess to protect the peace of the country."
In the grand hall, someone suggested.
"Seconded …"
"Seconded …"
"Seconded …"
For a moment, there were voices of agreement everywhere.
Obviously, this was arranged by the Li Clan long ago.
The Li Clan might not have the guts to rebel.
After all, the prestige of the royal family had long been deeply rooted in the people's hearts. Moreover, there were a few old monsters in the royal family. No one knew if they were dead or not.
Although the soldiers were at the city gates, as long as Li Zheng Ping was not rebelling, the few old monsters in the royal family would not appear.
After all, in the eyes of those old monsters, this was just the younger generation fighting for the position of the Crown Prince.
The position of the Crown Prince was the same in their eyes as long as it was a direct descendant of the royal family. There was no difference between the Second Prince and Xia Ziling.
Looking at this scene, the monarch's hand gripped the dragon throne even harder.
"A bunch of bastards!"
Suddenly, he roared angrily, scaring the nobles so much that their bodies trembled.
"Are you now deciding on the life and death of my daughter?"
The gloomy voice sounded, and the nobles lowered their heads even more.
Although they did not say anything, their attitude did not change.
This made the monarch angry, but more than that, he felt helpless.
He was not as intimidating as the King of Freedom, Xia Zelei. If it was Xia Zelei sitting on the throne now, would these people still dare to act like this?
He smiled bitterly.
The monarch waved his sleeves angrily and left.
At the same time, the soldiers in the city began to gather. The nobles who contributed … were not many, not even twenty percent.
What kind of worrisome situation was this?
"Little Seven, do you know what's going on outside?"
The monarch summoned Seventh Princess Xia Ziling. Looking at his beautiful daughter in front of him, a trace of melancholy flashed across the monarch's eyes.
She really looked too much like her mother. It was as if they were carved out of the same mold.
Although he had sent out many people to marry her mother into the palace, that kind and beautiful woman was forced to death by his concubines.
Although he was the monarch, what could he say?
Which one of those concubines did not have a powerful backing behind them?
It was not that he did not want to dote on this daughter, but he could not. As the monarch of the duchy, he could only secretly send people to send some resources to his daughter.
Otherwise, no matter how talented Xia Ziling was, how could she have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age?
