Compared to the Wind Clan, the governor of White Cloud Dan Province was just a minor governor.
However, to the duchy, he was a big shot!
One had to know that every Mortal Grade alchemist was an existence that was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the Duchy. However, in White Cloud Dan Province, they were a dime a dozen.
Before the age of thirty, their cultivation had reached the Spirit Formation realm, and there were even people who had broken through to the Spirit Realm.
This was unimaginable to the people of the duchy.
At this moment, the governor of White Cloud Dan Province narrowed his eyes and sat at the head of the table. His fingers were tapping on the armrest.
Initially, he did not believe in the existence of the Compound Pill. However, after he bought it, he was immediately shocked!
As the governor of a province, he knew the superiority of the Compound Pill.
If he could take the formula for the Compound Pill for himself, he would definitely become a popular figure in the Imperial Court!
When he thought of this, his heart was boiling with excitement.
Moreover, it seemed that the formula was already in his pocket.
He only had to pay a few Dan Province quotas for the seven grand duchies to send their troops. This was not a big price for him.
Whether Dan Province had more or less people, it would not affect him at all.
"How long will it take to break through this city?"
The governor of White Cloud Dan Province suddenly asked. Although he tried his best to remain calm, there was a hint of urgency in his eyes.
As soon as he spoke, the tent suddenly quieted down.
Yesterday, they had attacked the city for an entire day and suffered heavy losses.
In fact, dozens of Martial King experts had fallen.
Originally, in terms of military strength, they could have taken down Twilight City. However, the Twilight Duchy's army's equipment was completely superior to theirs.
Furthermore, the Free and Unfettered King Xia Zelei had managed to kill several Martial King Realm experts on the spot despite being besieged by ten Martial King Realm experts!
This caused the seven grand duchies' allied forces to retreat in defeat.
They did not expect Xia Zelei to be so powerful.
As long as Xia Zelei was there, it would be difficult to break through the city!
The seven commanders looked at each other. Then, the commander of the Nanhe Nation stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Master, we could have broken into the city yesterday, but Xia Zelei was too difficult to deal with …"
"Hmph!"
The governor of Baiyun Dan Province snorted coldly, his face clearly showing his displeasure. This caused the seven commanders to sweat profusely.
It was obvious that they wanted him to get rid of Xia Zelei.
Asking him to deal with someone from a duchy, wouldn't that be lowering his own status?!
"I'd like to see what kind of person he is to be able to do this!"
Perhaps it was due to his eagerness to obtain the formula for the Compound Pill, White Cloud Mansion's Mansion Master's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness as he stood up.
As he stood up, everyone stood up and followed him out of the tent.
"Wu wu … Wu wu …"
A moment later, the horn to assemble sounded in the alliance camp.
"What happened?"
On the city wall, Xia Zelei was startled, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He knew a little about the seven grand duchies' strength. The loss of so many Martial King experts would definitely make the seven grand duchies' hearts ache for a while.
Although this was not enough to make them give up on attacking the city, the commanders should know that under the circumstances where the seven grand duchies' allied forces lost so many Martial King experts, it was impossible for them to take down Twilight City.
"Alert!"
Xia Zelei shouted, and immediately, the heads on the city wall surged. Kerosene, stones, bows, and arrows were all ready.
No one retreated.
That was because this was their home, and their family members were there!
"Xia Zelei, come out and accept your death!"
A shout came from below the city. The commanders of the seven grand duchies walked to the front of the army, and the governor of Baiyun Dan Province stood in the middle of them.
"That person …"
Xia Zelei's gaze fell on the governor of Baiyun Prefecture.
He knew all the commanders of the seven grand duchies, but he had never seen the governor of Baiyun Prefecture.
He did not sense any powerful aura from the White Cloud Mansion's Mansion Master, but it gave him a strong sense of threat.
"Xia Zelei, if you open the city gate and surrender to us now, perhaps we can spare your life, or else …"
The Nanhe Nation commander pointed his sword at Xia Zelei and shouted with a hint of pride.
"Loser!"
Xia Zelei sneered and completely ignored him.
Surrender?!
Dream on!
"Xia Zelei!!!"
Suddenly, the Nanhe Nation commander's face turned red.
Speaking of which, it was indeed embarrassing that the seven grand duchies' allied forces could not take down a city.
Especially for a commander of an army.
"Xia Zelei, do you know who this is?!"
The Qihuang Nation commander pointed at the governor of Baiyun Prefecture and shouted at Xia Zelei, "This is the Baiyun territory, the governor of Baiyun Dan Province, why don't you come down and kowtow?!"
"The governor of Baiyun Dan Province?!"
Xia Zelei's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the governor of Baiyun Prefecture with shock.
Perhaps the ordinary soldiers did not know the identity of the governor of Dan Province, but he definitely knew because he had been to the Ten Regions.
As long as it was a Pill Palace Master, they were all nobles of the imperial dynasty!
However, the power behind him was enough to crush all the duchies in Dan Province.
Now, he finally knew why the seven grand duchies had joined forces to invade Twilight Duchy. It turned out that the governor of Baiyun Dan Province was the mastermind!
Although he was not an alchemist, he understood how tempting the compound pills in Twilight Duchy were to alchemists.
He could only smile bitterly at that.
Perhaps Xia Zelei was quite famous among the grand duchies, but he was not worth mentioning in the eyes of such a person!
However, while Xia Zelei respected the governor of Dan Province, he would never compromise with someone who had invaded his homeland!
"Archers, get ready!"
Xia Zelei did not continue to waste time with them. Instead, he shouted sternly, and the sound of bowstrings being pulled could be heard from the city walls.
They could only fight!
"Xia Zelei, have you gone mad?!"
The Nanhe Nation commander and the others did not expect Xia Zelei to be so unyielding, even in the face of someone they could not afford to offend.
Did Xia Zelei not know that the person in front of him could raze Twilight Duchy to the ground with a stomp of his foot?!
The governor of Baiyun Dan Province had the same expression, and his face became extremely gloomy.
He did not expect that there would be someone who dared to point a sword at him in such a small duchy!
That was an insult to his status!
"Flatten this city, and I'll add one more spot for each of your nations!"
He almost gritted his teeth as he scolded the seven grand duchies' commanders.
If they ignored him, they would have to pay the price in blood!
