The Country Guardian Emperor was thousands of miles away in the Northern State. Even if he rushed back alone, it would take him several hours to arrive.
Before that, the two Sovereigns had no confidence that they could defeat the Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom, unless they had the help of Lin Yun's artifact.
But they couldn't control Lin Yun's artifact, they couldn't even pull it out, so they could only hope that Lin Yun would wake up.
As long as Lin Yun could wake up, they would have a chance to defeat the Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom. If Lin Yun remained unconscious, the last glimmer of hope would be erased.
After the two Sovereigns checked on Lin Yun's condition, they hurriedly left the palace and went to the Expedition Gate to deploy their troops.
Although Lin Yun had not woken up, and although they felt that the hope was very slim, they still couldn't give up. Even if they had to fight to the death, they must defend Royal City and stop the Northern Yan army outside the city walls.
Otherwise, once Royal City was lost, the entire Southern Summer would suffer the disaster of national destruction. Countless people would be displaced and even be massacred by the Northern Yan warlords. The consequences would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, among the ten armies of the Southern Summer, the remaining four generals were now staying in Royal City and were not sent out.
The cultivation of these four generals were at the second level of the King Wu realm. Although they couldn't compare to Nangong who died for the country, they were also the top martial arts experts of the Southern Summer.
With the four generals guarding the four gates of Royal City, the two Sovereigns could also focus on dealing with the Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom.
In addition, there were many elders of the three families, who also had the cultivation of the King Wu realm, and some of their strength was even not weaker than the four generals.
But they all had their own duties. Once the battle started, they would be very busy, and it would be difficult for them to find time to help the two Sovereigns deal with the Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom.
Moreover, there were many King Wu experts in the enemy country, and they might not be able to deal with them.
The Expedition Gate was facing the Northern Yan army, and it was the first place that the Northern Yan army would attack, and it was also the place where the Northern Yan army was most concentrated.
It was believed that the Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom would definitely appear at the Expedition Gate. Therefore, the two Sovereigns would personally guard the Expeditionary Gate.
Not long after the two Sovereigns arrived at the Expedition Sect, Nangong Yan, who had just recovered from her injuries, also appeared at the Expedition Sect.
Nangong Yan did not wear her usual luxurious noble dress, nor did she wear the noble silver-white princess crown on her head. Instead, she changed into a set of golden armor and a golden helmet. She looked like a fully armed and valiant female general.
"Princess, what are you doing?" the Interior Prince asked immediately.
Nangong Yan's eyes were no longer filled with sorrow and pain. Instead, they were replaced with determination and bravery. "Today, I will live and die with the soldiers of the Southern Summer! I will personally kill that traitor, Dongfang Zhan, as an offering to my royal father's soul in heaven! "
The Interior Prince and the External Prince both looked at Nangong Yan with appreciation. Then, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Although Nangong Yan's individual combat power was negligible in this battle, her presence at the front line and fighting together with the soldiers of the Southern Summer army could play a role of encouragement and boost the morale of the soldiers of the Southern Summer army.
It was for this reason that the two Sovereigns did not object to letting Nangong Yan join the battle.
The Interior Prince arranged for an elder of the Nangong family to be responsible for protecting Nangong Yan. Then, he and the External Prince went up to the command platform to carry out the final deployment.
While the Southern Summer King City was busy with the deployment, the Northern Yan army was also speeding up the pace of their march, constantly advancing towards Royal City.
Finally, when the soldiers of the Southern Summer army were in position, the Northern Yan army arrived as scheduled and appeared on the northern horizon of Royal City.
The mighty army of hundreds of thousands was like a black tide, monopolizing the entire horizon as far as the eye could see.
Seeing such a grand scale, the soldiers of the Southern Summer army could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
But even though their hearts were trembling, they had to bravely rise up to resist. Because they all knew that behind them, there were countless civilians.
The mighty army continued to press forward, and when they were about to enter the shooting range of long-range weapons, they suddenly stopped moving forward.
A general riding a golden bull, wearing dark golden scale armor and holding a lightning halberd, stood out from the army and walked to the front of the army.
"Is that the new Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom?" The Interior Prince looked at the general riding the golden bull, a deep fear flashed in his eyes, but more than that, there was doubt.
The Southern Summer and the Northern Yan had been enemies for many years, and the powerful generals of both sides had almost all fought with each other.
Although the Interior Prince was in charge of internal affairs, he also knew the experts of the Northern Yan very well. But this new Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom in front of him, he had never seen or even heard of him. Just where did this guy come from?
"Level Seven King Wu's realm is actually higher than the Country Guarding Emperor! Just when did the Northern Yan give birth to such an expert? "The Interior Prince also felt unprecedented pressure, but at the same time, he was also very puzzled.
The birth of such an expert in the Northern Yan should be shocking news that shocked the whole country, but why did the Southern Summer not have any news at all?
"Soldiers of the Southern Summer Country, listen up, I will now give you a way out. As long as you are willing to surrender and pledge allegiance, you can avoid this war!" The Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom swept the lightning halberd in his hand, and the ground was instantly torn apart by lightning. The solid rocks were instantly blasted into powder.
"Surrender and pledge allegiance?"
The Interior Prince sneered, "The soldiers of the Southern Summer Country are all flesh and blood, they are good men with unyielding bones, they will not surrender and pledge allegiance!"
The Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom laughed contemptuously, "Now that things have come to this, do you think that the Northern Yan is still the Northern Yan of the past?"
"What do you mean?" The Interior Prince frowned, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
The Marshal of the Warring States Kingdom said, "You don't even know the truth, let me tell you. The Northern Yan Country has already become a subsidiary country of the Assassination Society, a branch power of the Assassination Society. Your Southern Summer Country is a small country, do you think you have the ability to contend against the giant Assassination Society?! "
After hearing this, the faces of the Southern Summer Country's soldiers changed, their faces were instantly filled with horror and despair.
The Assassination Society, a mysterious assassin organization, a third-grade power that could contend against a large empire. Its system was extremely large, and its power was distributed almost throughout the entire territory of the Thousand Kingdoms.
Although the Southern Summer Country's soldiers did not come into contact with this organization, they had all heard of the chilling rumor.
It was said that a hundred years ago, one of the Four Great Kingdoms, the Dachu Kingdom, launched a war against the neighboring Zhao Kingdom.
At the moment of life and death, the Zhao Kingdom spent a lot of money to hire a mysterious assassin organization, the Assassination Society.
A few days later, the assassins of the Assassination Society quietly snuck into the Dachu Palace, assassinated the Prince of the Dachu Kingdom under the eyes of the four high-ranking King Wu experts, and then left unscathed.
This matter completely infuriated the King of the Dachu Kingdom. He persuaded the other three Great Kingdoms to join forces with him to carry out an unprecedented purge of the Assassination Society, but in the end, it ended with the death of the Marshal of the allied forces of the four countries.
The invincible Marshal, the number one expert of the Dachu Kingdom, the man who was said to be about to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm. His head was hung above the tents of the allied forces of the four countries by the assassins of the Assassination Society as a warning.
