After the clash between Xiaotian's Heaven Tier Battle Skill and the eleven Heaven Saint Masters, a ten-kilometer long section of the city wall had collapsed. The damage was extremely severe, and it was certain that the wall would not be repaired without a few months' time.
In this battle, although the Gesun Kingdom's three Heaven Saint Masters and Xiao Tian's four companions were heavily injured, their losses were insignificant compared to the Blue Wind Kingdom's losses. Seven Heaven Saint Masters had fallen, while the remaining four had all fled. They didn't stay in the Blue Wind Kingdom's camp at all. Their actions had greatly affected the Blue Wind Kingdom's army. Without the support of Heaven Saint Masters, the Blue Wind Kingdom's commander didn't dare to rashly continue the attack. Instead, he ordered the entire army to retreat fifty kilometers.
Royal Grace City was a first class city with an extremely large surface area. The distance from any of the four city gates to the city lord's mansion was at least 30 kilometres. In order to be able to arrive at the city walls at any time to command the battle, the Gesun Kingdom's commander had used the same method as the Western Fort. They had temporarily rented a large inn as a resting place for the soldiers closest to the city walls.
In the inn, all the Radiant Saint Masters from the Eastern Fort of the Kingdom of Gesun were gathered. There were over two hundred of them, and they were divided into four groups to treat the four heavily injured Heaven Saint Masters from the Kingdom of Gesun.
Jianchen was also warmly received due to his status as the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire. All the generals treated Jianchen with great respect, including the commander of the Eastern Fort.
After conversing with them, Jianchen gained a basic understanding of the current situation of the Eastern Fort. During this time, he also asked about the Changyang Prefecture. However, to his disappointment, the people from the Changyang Prefecture did not hurry to the Eastern Fort. Instead, they had gone to assist the northern fort. This made Jianchen's plan to see his family go down the drain.
At this moment, Jianchen's expression suddenly became serious. He sternly said, "General Liu, may I ask how many Heaven Saint Masters the Blue Wind Kingdom has? There are actually eleven of them attacking the Eastern Fort. Has the Blue Wind Kingdom sent out all of their Heaven Saint Masters?" General Liu was the commander of the Eastern Fort.
Hearing this, General Liu gently sighed. A trace of worry appeared on his old face. He said, "Imperial Protector, you may not know this, but five of the eleven Saint Masters you saw were from the Qiangan Kingdom."
"The Qiangan Kingdom!" Jianchen softly murmured. A sharp light flashed through his eyes. He continued to ask, "Could it be that the Qiangan Kingdom also interfered in this battle?"
General Liu looked at Jianchen and then slightly lowered his head in thought. He said, "Perhaps. Although the Qiangan Kingdom did not send out an army, but of the eleven Heaven Saint Masters you saw today, five of them were indeed from the Qiangan Kingdom."
Hearing this, Jianchen temporarily fell silent. He lowered his head and did not say anything. No one knew what he was thinking. A sharp light flashed through his eyes from time to time.
"General Liu, first tell me how many Saint Masters the Blue Wind Kingdom and the Qiangan Kingdom have in total. Which family did those who died belong to?" Jianchen asked without raising his head. His tone was very calm.
General Liu thought for a moment and said, "Imperial Protector, through our appraisal of their bodies and clothing, of the seven Heaven Saint Masters who died in battle, three of them were from the Qiangan Kingdom. The remaining four were from the Blue Wind Kingdom. The Blue Wind Kingdom had a total of eight Heaven Saint Masters and half of them were left. The Qiangan Kingdom also had a total of eight Heaven Saint Masters. Excluding the three who died, there were five left. "
Jianchen slightly nodded. He lowered his head in thought and said, "You do not need to worry about those Heaven Saint Masters. I will deal with them. General Liu, if there is nothing else, you should leave first."
General Liu did not show any displeasure on his face. He immediately stood up from his chair and respectfully clasped his hands to Jianchen. He said, "Yes, Imperial Protector. If Imperial Protector needs anything, you can call me at any time." Afterward, General Liu walked towards the door.
"Bang!"
Just as General Liu walked to the door, it was suddenly knocked open by a strong force. It was immediately smashed into pieces. Then a white shadow flashed from outside and quickly rushed into Jianchen's arms.
Jianchen was slightly stunned. Then a rare smile appeared on his face. He reached out and hugged the white shadow. He reached out and gently stroked its small head.
The white shadow that suddenly came in was the White Tiger that Jianchen had forgotten to take with him when he was at the border of the Qiangan Kingdom.
Seeing that it was the familiar little white tiger that had suddenly barged in, the anger that had just appeared on General Liu's face immediately dissipated. This little white tiger was brought here by Xiaotian, so General Liu was not unfamiliar with it.
"Sir Imperial Protector, the door has been damaged. I will immediately send someone to repair it." After saying this, General Liu slowly retreated.
"Wuwuwuwu …" The White Tiger stared at Jianchen with teary eyes. Its eyes were full of grievances. Its front paws kept scratching Jianchen's chest. Those sharp claws tore the clothes on Jianchen's chest into shreds to express its dissatisfaction.
Jianchen's right hand gently stroked the White Tiger's small furry head. He kept saying some apologetic words to appease the White Tiger's emotions. Then he took out a thousand-year-old ginseng from his space ring and placed it in front of the White Tiger.
The White Tiger was immediately stunned.
Then its eyes immediately lit up, as if it had completely forgotten the displeasure in its heart. It wolfed down the thousand-year-old ginseng, then opened its mouth wide. After yawning, it closed its eyes and lay in Jianchen's arms, snoring loudly.
Seeing the White Tiger's cute appearance, Jianchen couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have deep feelings for the White Tiger, and the White Tiger was also very dependent on him.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During these three days, Jianchen fed the White Tiger a few heavenly treasures, hoping that the White Tiger could quickly grow. This was because he kept Uncle Xiu's words in mind. He must increase the strength of the White Tiger as soon as possible.
Jianchen believed that Uncle Xiu wouldn't be so presumptuous. Perhaps in the near future, the White Tiger really would encounter great trouble.
Three days later, Xiaotian and the three Heaven Saint Masters of the Kingdom of Gesun had completely recovered from their injuries. They immediately went to see Jianchen, and the three Heaven Saint Masters of the Kingdom of Gesun naturally couldn't help but express their gratitude.
"Imperial Protector, it's fortunate that you came in time. Otherwise, I would have lost my old life here." Xiaotian said with a faint smile, but there was no trace of fear on his face.
"Xiaotian, in that situation, even if you couldn't defeat them, I believe that you had the ability to escape." Jianchen chuckled. To be able to hold the position of Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire, all of them were the cream of the crop. They were on a completely different level from the Imperial Protectors of ordinary kingdoms. Unless the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, they wouldn't die so easily.
At the same time, Jianchen held Xiaotian in high regard. Xiaotian had reached the Fifth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master in a little over a hundred years of age, so his talent was extremely terrifying. It was very likely that he would break through to Saint Ruler in the future. Jianchen would never believe that Xiaotian didn't have any life-saving trump cards on him. The Qin Empire wouldn't let such a talented expert die so easily.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Jianchen got to the point. He said seriously, "Now that the Kingdom of Gesun has interfered in the matter of attacking the Kingdom of Gesun, there will still be nine Heaven Saint Masters left if they work together. They will still pose a great threat to the Kingdom of Gesun. Xiaotian, guard the Eastern Fort for the next few days and prevent any sudden attacks from their experts."
"Imperial Protector, are you going to leave?" Xiaotian was surprised and asked with some uncertainty.
Jianchen nodded, "I will personally pay a visit to the Kingdom of Gesun. They have interfered twice in this matter, so I can't let them off so easily." Killing intent flashed through Jianchen's eyes when he reached there. If he hadn't been present the first time, Chang Bo probably would have been in danger.
