As the Prosper Country's army had not been annihilated, Jun Wu Xie needed to rush to the Imperial City immediately and Jun Wu Yao had to fly her through the air.
The Qi Kingdom's Imperial City, was filled with smoke.
Arrows rained down like rain and soldiers fell from the city walls. But very quickly, more soldiers would rush up to fill the gap and shoot again!
The gates of the Imperial City were tightly shut and the armies of the three countries were charging in, trying to break through the gates.
Inside the city gate, countless soldiers were holding the city gate tightly. Thick wooden planks were carried to the city gate, firmly holding it against the city gate that was constantly being smashed.
"Quick! Archers, follow up! " Jun Qing stood within the city, commanding the army to defend the city. The dense barrage of arrows outside the city had already flown over the city walls, flying straight into the city, with many fire arrows mixed within. All the soldiers around the city walls raised their shields, to block the falling arrows. Clang clang clang clang clang clang, the crisp sounds of arrows exploding within the city, the crimson red fire arrows igniting a sea of fire the moment they landed!
"Extinguish the fire quickly!" Jun Qing wished he could have more people at his disposal. With the enemy at the gates, they could only defend the Imperial City to the death!
Once the gates were breached, the armies of the three countries would surge in like a tidal wave and the soldiers within the Imperial City would not be able to defend against the million strong army outside!
Within the Imperial City, all the citizens were hiding within their homes, to avoid the onslaught of the rain of arrows. The able-bodied men had already given up on hiding. As the citizens, they stood out at that moment. They did not possess powerful spirit powers, nor did they possess powerful ring spirits, but they had their hands! When the city was on fire, they carried water to rescue. When the soldiers were heavily injured, they dragged them away for treatment!
Within the city, only the old and weak could hide quietly. The rest, all the adults who were able to move, had joined in the battle to protect the country!
The soldiers of the three countries prepared to scale the walls!
The Qi Kingdom's soldiers on the city walls poured kerosene onto the scaling ladders and set them ablaze, to stop the enemy's invasion!
The sounds of explosions and wails filled the skies!
Mo Qian Yuan stood within the city as he looked at the chaotic situation within the Imperial City. His heart was in a tight knot as he ignored the objections of his ministers and personally went into battle.
He was the ruler of the Qi Kingdom, how could he hide within the palace, allowing his army, his people to shed their blood outside!
The city gates continued to be rammed against continuously and the reinforced city gates had already started to show a crack under the incessant ramming. It trembled incessantly, causing splinters of wood to fall to the ground, as if the Qi Kingdom was putting up a final struggle, teetering on the verge of collapse.
Everyone was stubbornly resisting, but everyone knew that their resistance would ultimately be futile.
How ferocious was the army of three hundred outside the city?
It was only a matter of time before the city fell.
But …
No one was willing to give up at this moment!
This was their country! This was their homeland!
Even if they had to fight to the last drop of blood, they were not willing to become slaves of a subjugated nation!
Mo Qian Yuan stood on the street, looking at the bustling citizens, watching them use their ordinary and unremarkable ring spirits to hold the Imperial City from being breached, watching them pick up the farming tools in their hands, watching them roar as they rushed to the city gates, bunching up their muscles to fight alongside the soldiers to block the gates. Mo Qian Yuan's eyes grew hot at that moment.
In his life, he had experienced so much. Patricide, usurpation of the throne, fratricide ….. to ascend to the throne of the Qi Kingdom!
He had never known that with the Emperor's robe on him, he not only held power and position, he also carried the burden of the Qi Kingdom's survival upon his shoulders. He had never known that the citizens of the Qi Kingdom would stand out under such circumstances!
