...
Princess Shan Yu's tent could not be placed together with the tents. After all, the tents were fixed. However, the location of the tents had to change frequently.
This was the common sense of marching and fighting.
It was to ensure the safety of the commander.
When Princess Shan Yu heard the order from the Sagely Mountain City, she was slightly anxious. She instinctively left the tent. However, just as she stepped out of the tent, her expression froze.
Then, she looked at the wooden hammer in her hand.
"Supernatural State... Wooden Hammer?" Princess Shan Yu murmured softly. In an instant, her jet-black eyes lit up. She turned around and returned to her tent.
Inside the tent...
Fang Zhengzhi was still lying on the bed with his eyes shut. He did not move at all, almost like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Guards!" The corners of Princess Shan Yu's mouth curled upwards, revealing a cold smile.
"Yes, what orders do you have for me?" A soldier entered the tent.
"Bring this fella to the tent."
"Ah? Yes, Princess! "
...
There were already two rows of generals dressed in heavy rattan armor lined up neatly in the meeting tent. Outside the meeting tent, there were also several hundred soldiers dressed in rattan armor with furs hanging on their shoulders.
The order from the Sagely Mountain City had arrived.
Even though they did not have the time to explain the details, as the most elite soldiers of the Southern Mountain Range, they rushed to the tent immediately.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"..."
The voices grew louder and louder, indicating that Princess Shan Yu was at the entrance of the tent. However, other than respect, there was also a hint of shock in their voices.
This was because, behind Princess Shan Yu, there were four soldiers. These four soldiers were carrying the unconscious Fang Zhengzhi on a stretcher made of animal skin.
"Isn't that Fang Zhengzhi from the Great Xia?"
"Why is he being carried to the tent?"
All of the soldiers were curious.
Until...
Princess Shan Yu strode into the conference tent.
The four soldiers who were carrying Fang Zhengzhi followed closely behind and entered the room.
This scene immediately made the soldiers look at each other, not understanding what was going on.
Fang Zhengzhi's identity wasn't too unfamiliar to Princess Shan Yu's army. After all, the battle between Fang Zhengzhi and General Tai had been too intense.
It was impossible for no one to know who Fang Zhengzhi was.
However, it was precisely because he knew that he couldn't understand it.
Who was Fang Zhengzhi?
A Rank 4 Sword Envoy of the Great Xia Dynasty was paid by the Great Xia Dynasty.
But where was this place? This was the conference tent of Princess Shan Yu of the Southern Region. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but at a time like this …
This was the moment when the Great Xia and the Southern Region shed all pretense of cordiality and stood against each other.
Most importantly, the content of the meeting was a military order from the Sagely Mountain City. How could an outsider overhear it?
That was what the soldiers thought. All of the generals in the tent were stunned when they saw Fang Zhengzhi being carried in.
The four soldiers naturally saw the confusion on the faces of the generals. However, they did not dare to say anything. Once they entered the tent, they carefully placed Fang Zhengzhi and the animal skin stretcher on the ground. Then, they respectfully retreated.
"Princess, this … this is?" One of the generals was confused.
"He still hasn't woken up." Princess Shan Yu waved her hands impatiently at the surrounding generals. Following which, she sat on the main seat.
All of the generals looked at each other.
They knew what Princess Shan Yu meant, but they didn't want to ask if Fang Zhengzhi had woken up. However, even though Princess Shan Yu's words didn't quite match their meaning...
But …
In fact, this also explained the worries in their hearts from another aspect.
They were worried about the Southern Region's military affairs. How could they let Fang Zhengzhi listen in? When Princess Shan Yu said that Fang Zhengzhi had not woken up, she had answered their question.
"The Devil Race has betrayed us this time. They surrounded our Royal City's Sacred Mountain with 50,000 Devil Soldiers, putting our Royal City's Sacred Mountain and 20,000 Royal City soldiers in danger. Although we have 80,000 elites, it's still difficult to fight against 50,000 Devil Soldiers. Princess, should we immediately dispatch troops from the four tribes to rescue them?"
One of the generals reported. After all, the Southern Region was in dire straits. There was no time to waste.
"The four settlements are being held by the Icy Monkey Settlement. Now that the Icy Monkey Settlement is in the hands of the Great Xia, it will be difficult for them to send reinforcements in a short period of time. I think we should follow your orders and send reinforcements immediately!"
"Yes, we have been stationed between the Icy Monkey Settlement and the Sagely Mountain City since the beginning of the war. Isn't that to prevent the Demons or the Great Xia from attacking?"
"Even though it will be difficult for our 80,000 soldiers to fight against 50,000 Demons, if we can fight our way into the city, we should be able to hold out for half a month!"
"That's right, in half a month, the four settlements will be able to take back the Icy Monkey Settlement. When that time comes, we will be able to defeat the Demons!"
All of the generals expressed their opinions. This was a battle of life and death. However, they had no choice but to wait for Princess Shan Yu's orders.
On the other hand, Princess Shan Yu continued to sit on the main seat as usual, listening to the discussions below her. From start to finish, she did not express her own opinion.
"Princess, we cannot hesitate any longer! The 20,000 soldiers will not be able to hold out for long. If we do not send reinforcements, the Crown Prince and the King... will fall into the hands of the Demons. When that happens... "
"Princess, please give the order!"
"We are willing to protect the Sagely Mountain City with our lives, even if we have to sacrifice our lives!"
All of the generals began to panic when they saw that Princess Shan Yu was not speaking. After all, the Sagely Mountain City was in danger.
"Princess!"
"Princess, this is urgent..."
"Princess!"
Voices rang out in the tent.
On the other hand, Princess Shan Yu merely sat quietly on the main seat. Her jet-black eyes flickered with a faint radiance. Of course, she knew that the military situation was urgent.
But because it was urgent...
She had to be calm and cautious.
That was because there were too many suspicious points in this unforeseen event.
The fifty thousand Demon soldiers had attacked the Sagely Mountain City overnight, and it was already early in the morning. In other words, it had been at least eight hours since the Demon soldiers had started their attack.
Eight hours...
How could they defend the Sagely Mountain City with only 20,000 soldiers?
However, according to the reports, the Demon Race had yet to conquer Sagely Mountain City. They had only taken half of it, and the other half was still in the hands of the Crown Prince.
Why was this happening?
This was a question.
Other than this doubt, Princess Shan Yu had another fatal doubt.
If the Demons had really buried 50,000 soldiers in the Southern Region...
In that case, the first target of the Devil Race should be the 80,000 elites in her hands.
Not the Sagely Mountain City!
The reason was simple.
Although the 80,000 elites in her hands had always been hiding in the forest, that was only relative to Great Xia. For the Devil Race, it was too easy to know the existence of these 80,000 elites and find a way to find the location of these 80,000 elites.
Furthermore, the Sagely Mountain City was built on top of the Sagely Mountain, towering into the clouds and overlooking the Southern Region. It was indeed a naturally dangerous place, but since it was a dangerous place, it was easy to defend and hard to attack.
Of course, that was not the most important thing...
The most important thing was that the Sagely Mountain City was the holy land of the Southern Region. It was the capital of the Southern Region. If a battle broke out in the Sagely Mountain City, it would definitely be discovered.
They had chosen the difficult path.
Before the battle had even ended, they had revealed their ambitions...
Princess Shan Yu furrowed her brows and bit her lips tightly. She felt that there was a huge conspiracy behind this incident.
But what exactly was this conspiracy?
She couldn't tell.
But she was certain of one thing.
Yun Qingwu, the Young Lord of the Demon Race who was regarded as the hope of the entire Demon Race, would never make such a mistake.
What was the problem?
"Princess, if you don't give the order now, it will be too late!"
"Yes, Princess! Half of the Sagely Mountain City has already been lost. If the King and Noblelite are captured, we will be in deep trouble! "
All of the generals blurted out when they saw Princess Shan Yu's silence. To the Southern Region, being a warrior was an honor. Warriors were always straightforward.
Princess Shan Yu furrowed her brows in an instant. A fiery red aura flowed around her body and a faint cloud pattern condensed above her chest.
This meant that she was not in a good mood.
The Sagely Mountain City was surrounded.
How could she not be anxious?
Noblelite and the King were not the only ones there. Her third brother and father were also there. How could she not be anxious?
But, how could she give the order before she knew what was going on?
The Noblelite and the King were in the Sagely Mountain City.
But she also had the lives of 80,000 Southern Region elites in her hands. A single order would cause 80,000 of them to bleed on the battlefield. If the entire Southern Region was destroyed...
What should she do?
"Other than rushing to the Sagely Mountain City, do you have any other opinions?" Princess Shan Yu spoke up after a moment of silence.
"Princess, the Sagely Mountain City is surrounded. Noblelite has given the order for us to rush over. What is there to hesitate about?" One of the generals asked.
"Yes, we cannot hesitate any longer!"
"Please give the order!"
