The war horn sounded throughout the fortress, and all the soldiers were mobilized.
Tens of thousands of archers climbed up the firing windows in an orderly manner, and all kinds of ballistae were prepared.
At this time, Lin Yun had just finished his morning tea and was discussing the plan for the northern expedition with the Southern Summer King and Murong Tuohai.
The Southern Summer King had already planned to carry out the northern expedition as soon as the Country Guarding Emperor returned triumphantly from the Northern Region.
But the sudden attack of the Northern Yan army had completely disrupted the Southern Summer King's plan, and he was caught unprepared.
He did not expect that the Northern Yan army would attack the frontlines so soon after they had just attacked the Northern Region.
"The Northern Yan army is attacking, and the battlefield is full of danger. For the safety of your majesty and the princess, I ask that your majesty and the princess be escorted by the royal army back to Imperial City. "Nangong Xiguo quickly rushed over and asked the Southern Summer King.
The Southern Summer King had no intention of retreating. "All the soldiers know that I am here. Now that the enemy is in front of us, if I cower, wouldn't it affect the morale of the frontlines? How would I, the Southern Summer King, be able to keep my face? "
"Old General, you don't have to persuade me. Today, I will personally supervise the battle and attack the enemy together with the frontlines!"
Although Nangong was worried about the safety of the Southern Summer King, if the Southern Summer King retreated now, it would indeed damage his prestige as a king, and it would affect the morale of the army.
The Southern Summer King was, after all, an expert of the King Wu. He alone was stronger than thousands of soldiers and horses, and it was not a problem for him to protect himself. Moreover, he had the protection of the Royal Guards by his side.
Thinking of this, Nangong did not try to persuade him anymore. He immediately turned around and walked out of the main base, and began to deploy the troops and make arrangements for the war.
Waves of shocking war drums came from the horizon. It was as deafening as thunder, and it made people feel extremely depressed.
The scale of the Northern Yan army was unprecedentedly large. It covered the entire grassland, and there were at least eight hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
When he saw the scale of the enemy's army, even the battle-hardened Nangong who had died for his country felt a wave of fear.
Eight hundred thousand soldiers, what kind of concept was that?
The Southern Summer King Kingdom had mobilized its entire military force, but it only had a million soldiers. Five hundred thousand of them were stationed at the frontlines, while the remaining five hundred thousand were distributed throughout the country.
As for the Northern Yan Kingdom, they first sent four hundred thousand soldiers to attack the Northern State, then eight hundred thousand soldiers to attack the frontlines.
Just these two armies alone already exceeded a million soldiers, exceeding the total military strength of the Southern Summer Country. An attack of this scale was clearly an all-out invasion.
The last time Northern Yan invaded Southern Summer was 300 years ago, when the Dongfang Family was ruling. That time, Southern Summer was almost destroyed.
After three hundred years of silence, Northern Yan finally erupted and launched a second full-scale invasion of Southern Summer.
This time, the Southern Summer would not repeat the same mistake and let the tragedy from 300 years ago repeat itself.
Because today's Southern Summer was no longer the Southern Summer of the past, which was unambitious and stagnant.
Today's military strength of Southern Summer could no longer be underestimated, and they also had an impregnable steel fortress. It would not be like three hundred years ago, where they were caught unprepared by the Northern Yan army.
Nangong Nangong was very confident in the current Southern Summer. However, he did not understand why Northern Yan did not concentrate all its military force to attack the frontline fortress, but instead sent four hundred thousand soldiers to attack the Northern State.
Did the leader of Northern Yan think that eight hundred thousand soldiers was enough to break through the frontline fortress?
As he thought about it, a white light flashed in Nangong Nangong Nangong's mind, and he seemed to understand everything in an instant.
What was the thing that Northern Yan was most afraid of in Southern Summer?
Without a doubt, it was the Country Guarding King!
The Country Guarding King, who was in the Level Six King Wu realm, was not only the strongest in Southern Summer, but also invincible in Northern Yan.
Of course, what Northern Yan was most afraid of was not the terrifying strength of the Country Guarding King, but the Country Guarding King's divine military strategy.
The Country Guarding King had once used only thirty thousand men and horses in a certain battle. Under the situation of close to zero casualties, he annihilated the enemy's army of a hundred thousand, beautifully winning that battle.
How could Northern Yan not be afraid of such a divine general who descended from the sky?
Therefore, the purpose of Northern Yan attacking the Northern State was actually to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
King City was only a few hundred miles away from the frontline fortress. If the frontline fortress encountered an emergency, the Country Guarding King would lead the most mobile Storm Cavalry Regiment to advance at full speed, and they could arrive in four hours to support.
And King City was a few thousand miles away from the Northern State. The Country Guarding King would lead the army to the Northern State, and it would be impossible for him to return within a day or two.
Northern Yan would first lead the army to invade the Northern State, and lead the Country Guarding King and the Storm Cavalry Regiment over, causing them to fall into the battle situation of the Northern State. Then, they would send out an army of eight hundred thousand to attack the frontline fortress of the Southern Summer. The frontline fortress would not be able to receive any support, and the chances of it being breached would be greatly increased.
All of this was clearly within Northern Yan's strategic plan, and the Southern Summer had fallen into their trap!
Although Nangong had thought through this problem by dying for his country, it was too late to say anything now that the war was imminent.
In just a few minutes, the overwhelming Northern Yan army had already arrived at the city.
Nangong did not think too much about dying for his country. He immediately went up to the command platform and began to command the entire army. "Everyone, get ready!"
Seeing that Nangong had died for his country and went up to the command platform, the entire army seemed to have taken a tranquilizer, and their flustered emotions stabilized.
Dongfang Zhan, Nangong Domineering, Shangguan Lengxue, and Hua Wuqing, the four Country Guarding Generals, also performed their respective duties and deployed their defenses in their respective fortresses.
Lin Yun also took out the Skeleton Sword, and was prepared to directly charge into the enemy's ranks and start a massacre.
After cultivating the Indestructible Divine Body to the Diamond Body Realm, Lin Yun's body could already ignore any attack below the King Wu realm.
No matter how many enemies there were, it was meaningless in front of Lin Yun. Even if he directly charged into the enemy's ranks, he would not be in any danger.
Just as Lin Yun was about to rush out of the fortress, his body suddenly stiffened, and he stood rooted to the ground as if he had been electrocuted.
The Southern Summer King immediately noticed Lin Yun's abnormality, and hurriedly asked Lin Yun, "What's wrong?"
"Oh no, the giant's bloodline has awakened." As Lin Yun spoke, his skin had already started to ooze black and red blood beads.
"What?!" The Southern Summer King hurriedly walked in front of Lin Yun, and excitedly stared at Lin Yun's body.
Lin Yun truthfully said, "When I was training in the Southern Summer Mystic Realm, I completed the Mystic Realm's mission, and the reward I received was the giant's bloodline."
"There's actually such a good thing?!" The Southern Summer King's face was full of envy and jealousy. Not only did Lin Yun have the demonic dragon's bloodline, but he also had the ancient giant's bloodline. It would be a waste of his bloodline if he did not become the emperor's son-in-law.
At this moment, Lin Yun shook his head, and with a serious expression, he said, "After the bloodline transplant, it will not awaken immediately. It will only awaken after a period of time. Unfortunately, the giant's bloodline in my body just happened to awaken at this time. "
