At that time, the generals of the Rui Lin Army who were by Jun Xian's side were even more ferocious. But after the founding of the country, the former Emperor had intentionally weakened the Rui Lin Army's might and had demoted several of the generals who had made outstanding contributions to the Rui Lin Army, to have them relinquish their military positions and become small Castellans in various cities.
A group of generals who had once been brave and unstoppable on the battlefield had no choice but to leave the army they had sworn loyalty to under the emperor's suspicion. They took off their military uniforms, put down their weapons, and went to a small city to manage those trivial matters.
With regards to this arrangement, not a single person in the Rui Lin Army had any complaints. They had retreated cleanly, without the slightest complaint.
Long Zhan, who was standing in front of the City Lord, was one of the valiant generals who was forced to withdraw from the Rui Lin Army that year!
He was also the current Rui Lin Army's Major General, Long Qi's father!
"Old General Long Zhan! How did you … … how did you … … "The City Lord was stunned for a moment. Back then, those high-ranking military officers who were forced to retreat were in cities that were very barren and small. Moreover, the city where Long Zhan was in was not close to them. Long Zhan was already very old, but he still rushed through the night without rest!
"Although I am no longer a member of the Rui Lin Army, but my old bones were hammered out in the Rui Lin Army. Now that the war is in such dire straits, how can my old bones just sit back and do nothing? This is the only way to get to the Imperial City and the Condor Country will definitely want to kill their way into the Imperial City through this route. Although we are already in our twilight years, but if we fight with all the bones in our bodies, we will be able to buy ourselves some time. "Long Zhan said resolutely.
The City Lord was still in shock when he suddenly realised that the reason Long Zhan had appeared here was because the spirit of the Rui Lin Army had always been buried deep within his heart. Even though he had left the Rui Lin Army, but the loyalty that the Rui Lin Army had branded into his soul would never disappear!
"General Long! Please accept my bow! " The City Lord immediately knelt down, his eyes red as he raised his head to look at Long Zhan and said: "I am also willing to stand together with General Long against the Condor Country's army!"
Long Zhan laughed loudly, "Good! You are truly worthy of being one of the good men of my Qi Kingdom! "
The City Lord stood up and immediately gave the order for everyone to leave the city as soon as the commoners were evacuated. This place would soon become hell.
However …
None of the soldiers in the city moved. They continued to stand guard at their posts.
"The country cannot be destroyed, and we are willing to live and die with the Qi Kingdom! If we can buy some time for His Majesty with our flesh and blood, it would be our honor! " The soldiers were abnormally resolute. Some of them had even just finished their coming-of-age ceremony, and their faces still had a hint of immaturity.
However, when their country was about to fall and their families were about to be destroyed, they couldn't have the slightest thought of dragging out an ignoble existence.
Only when you have a country can you have a home!
If the Qi Kingdom were to fall, then how would they be any different from those wandering ghosts!?
"Alright! Good! You're all good! " Long Zhan looked at these hot-blooded youths with tears streaming down his face. It was as if he had returned to the very beginning, when he and his brothers established the Rui Lin Army together with Jun Xian.
It was the same belief that had supported them to climb out of the fierce battles again and again. The deaths of their comrades made them unwilling to take a step back!
"Everyone, listen up! Defend the city to the death! They would defend for as long as they could! We must fight for more time for our brothers in the Imperial City! "Long Zhan shouted loudly. Like a treasured sword that had been dusty for many years, he was once again unsheathed!
