In the main tent of the camp.
Countless eyes were on Xuanyuan, but they did not speak. If this was Xuanyuan himself, he would naturally be at ease. But now that he was impersonating Xing Ge, he naturally could not be so calm. It would arouse suspicion, because the Xing Ge they had investigated would not have such courage.
Xuanyuan was a little nervous, a little uneasy, and a little hesitant. He acted as though he was considering it.
Immediately, a Fifth Heaven Ancient Emperor sneered. "What's wrong? You were so impassioned just now, but now you don't dare to go to the frontlines."
"How can you be the Deputy Commander like this? All of us have come from the frontlines, gone through countless life-and-death situations, and fought countless battles to reach this position. You are a nobody with no achievements, and you want to be the Deputy Commander? If you don't show your strength now, when are you going to do it?"
"Looks like Tian Xie Zi has sent an idiot over. We are not happy. If he wants us to listen to his orders, he might as well ask us to die."
These people were Zhan Xie Zi's trusted aides. For them to say such things, Xuanyuan could already guess that everything was within Zhan Xie Zi's plans.
"Since you don't dare, then get lost. Resign from your position as the Deputy Commander. We will not look down on you."
"It's better than becoming a deputy marshal and dying a violent death at the frontline. It's better to stay alive and drag out an ignoble existence than to perish and die a graveless death. Think about it carefully. It's better to live than to die a good death."
These people wanted to create an atmosphere to pressure Xuanyuan so that he would give up his position. This way, Tian Xie Zi couldn't do anything about it, because it wasn't a position that anyone could come and go as they pleased.
If it was the real Xing Ge, he would have been so frightened that he would have knelt on the ground, not daring to get up. It was a pity that it was Xuanyuan. After a moment of unease, he quickly regained his composure.
He said resolutely, "Reporting to Commander, Xing Ge is willing to lead my army to defend the city. As long as the city stands, we will live. If the city falls, we will die. We will not retreat. If the northern city falls, I am willing to bear all the responsibility."
"Good, very good. Xing Ge, listen up. You will lead ten million elites of the Zhan Xie Tribe to the northern city. You must defend against the enemy. Remember to delay as much time as you can. I will stay in the center and control the surroundings to prevent any internal chaos. Therefore, I can only support you from the rear." Zhan Xie Zi said it nicely, leaving no room to refute. Actually, he meant for Xuanyuan to go to the frontlines and die.
"Yes." Xuanyuan could only accept the order at this time. Everyone knew that the elites sent by the Blue Dragon Holy Land and the Zhongzhou Dynasty were extremely powerful. They were all elites who had experienced countless battles. An ordinary army of ten million would not be able to stop them. Bringing these soldiers was simply sending them to their deaths.
"Before that, Commander-in-chief, shouldn't you give me the defensive map of my Evil Race? Otherwise, how am I supposed to defend? If I lead my army into the killing formation set by my own people, wouldn't that be a joke?"
This was what Xuanyuan wanted the most. Now that he was the Vice Commander, he had the rights to have the entire Evil Race's defensive map. Therefore, this request was not excessive, nor would it arouse suspicion. If he refused, people would only think that he was an idiot.
"The fate of the defensive map is in my hands. Vice Commander, it's not that I don't trust you, but if I feel that you cannot hold on, then for the safety of the entire Evil Race, I will destroy the defensive map. Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable. I hope you can understand." Zhan Xie Zi said lightly, as if the destruction of the defensive map was inevitable.
"Of course." Xuanyuan gladly accepted. Zhan Xie Zi handed a silk scroll to Xuanyuan. He received it and immediately left the tent.
Zhan Xie Zi stood in the tent and looked at the two Heavenly Emperors beside him. He asked, "Do you think this Xing Ge is reliable? Is he someone with ulterior motives?"
"His aura is indeed from the bloodline of our Battle Evil Race, and he has killed very little in his life. Therefore, he is not affected much by bad luck. However, his luck is not great, and cannot affect the overall situation. Now, it can be said that he is blessed with good luck, which is why he is able to become the Vice Commander. Of course, the most important reason is that when everyone else's luck is at its lowest, he has a trace of good luck. Compared to the people around him, it is equivalent to a great luck. He is able to surpass many people, which is why he was chosen by Tian Xie Zi, and became the Vice Commander of our Battle Evil Race." Immediately, one of the Heavenly Emperors expressed his opinion. They had all seen Xuanyuan's luck.
With Xuanyuan's current cultivation realm, he could naturally conceal and control his luck. It was impossible for anyone to see anything.
"My thoughts are the same. This person did not lie, and we can see that he is loyal to our Evil Race. There is no need to worry. There is no doubt about this." Another Heavenly Emperor said.
"It's a pity that he is on the wrong side. Whether he is Tian Xie Zi's man or not, at least Tian Xie Zi was the one who brought him up. I will definitely not let him live. I will prepare ten million 'elites' for him, and immediately deploy them to the North City. I have also given him the Vice Commander position, and the troops. I am afraid that Tian Xie Zi cannot say anything about me anymore." Zhan Xie Zi's lips curled up into a cold smile.
When Xuanyuan saw the ten million elite troops that he was leading, his eyes twitched. Every single one of them was old, weak, sick, and disabled. The most important thing was that the weakest of them were at the Supreme Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the strongest were at the Sixth Heavenly Layer. There was not even a single Ancient Emperor or Ancient Saint. If there was a war, this army would definitely not be able to fight.
In the past, this army might have been incomparably strong in the Central Divine Region, but now, it was completely insufficient.
He knew that this was a matter between Zhan Xie Zi and Tian Xie Zi, and it had implicated him. As the saying goes, there are policies from above, and there are countermeasures from below. Zhan Xie Zi's actions were like this, and he wanted him to retreat in the face of difficulties.
There was no other way, and he could only lead the army to the North City. This was a city that the Evil Race had built, and it was located in the north of the Central Plains.
Tian Xie Zi observed everything in the dark, and his heart was filled with rage. "This Zhan Xie Zi is really capable. Isn't he clearly sending Xing Ge to his death? Damn it, I can only help the Evil Emperor select talents, and cannot interfere with military affairs."
The Evil Emperor understood the balance of power very well. His authority was limited, and even those who were biased towards him could not be too unreasonable. Especially at this time, if he did so, it would easily cause the dissatisfaction of the Evil Race. Therefore, with regards to this matter, Tian Xie Zi could only pretend that he did not see it. Whether Xing Ge could come back alive depended on his fate. If he could come back alive, and make a certain contribution, he could promote Xing Ge.
From the moment Xuanyuan received the defensive map, he memorized all the hidden killing formations of the Evil Race, and all kinds of methods, including the strength of the various Evil Race clans. Everything was completely grasped by Xuanyuan.
Halfway through the march, Xuanyuan looked at the old, weak, and sick behind him. Although they had suffered from the Qi attack, their influence was relatively small. Who had not done a few evil things in their lives? Especially in this era, and also in the environment of the Evil Race, it was hard not to do it. To let Xuanyuan lead these ten million people to their deaths, he really could not bear to do so.
Although they were enemies with the Heaven Shrouding Holy Land, he did not want to implicate these weak people. There were even some innocent people among them who had never done evil in their lives.
"Vice Commander, why are you not moving?" A hoarse old soldier asked respectfully.
"If you go any further, you will all die. The conflict between Zhan Xie Zi and Tian Xie Zi has caused you to suffer together." Xuanyuan said helplessly in his heart. "There are so many young and strong people, why send you to the battlefield?"
"There is nothing we can do about it. We are all prepared to die. This is very common among the Evil Race. Our lives do not belong to us." That old soldier's eyes were already numb. "As the saying goes, when a general is outside, military orders cannot be obeyed. Listen to my orders.
You will be stationed at the Evil Pass in the Northeast. It will be safer there. I am the Vice Commander. Their target is me. I will go to the Northern Region alone. This is not a violation of military orders, "Xuanyuan said solemnly." Vice Commander … "Many of the old soldiers looked at Xuanyuan in shock.
"Vice Commander …" Many of the old soldiers looked at Xuanyuan in shock, "Vice Commander, we are all old, and it's hard for us to make any progress in our lives. Our cultivation is not high, so it doesn't matter if we die. You are at the Fourth Sky of the Ancient Emperor Realm, and you have a bright future ahead of you. You can't sacrifice yourself for us. Even among the ten million of us, there is no one like you. If you do this, you will ruin everything, even your life."
In any race, no matter how cruel they were, there were feelings between them. This was especially so for soldiers and generals. Although they looked ruthless on the surface, their feelings were extremely sincere.
"No matter. I will be fine. Ah Xigu, you will be in charge. Here, your cultivation base is the highest." Xuanyuan immediately gave the order. The old soldier had never been so upright before.
"Yes." Ah Xigu did not dare to disobey. Xuanyuan ordered them to go to the Evil Pass in the Northeast. There was an extremely terrifying trap there. In fact, there was no need to station troops there. This order was to protect their lives.
The army that was supposed to be heading north suddenly turned around. In the big tent in front of Zhan Xie City, Zhan Xie Zi was the first to know, because he had been watching everything from the beginning to the end.
