The entire Barbarian Army was mobilized. Every one million soldiers formed a Barbarian Army and spread out in the camp.
The three hundred thousand Wolf Saint Army that had not shown up for the past few days were also ready to go.
During the three days of siege, the Barbarian Kings did not make a move.
But now, the Barbarian Kings flew into the sky. Some were high while some were low. Each of them was like a small floating fortress under the blue sky.
On the walls of Ning An City, the scholars noticed the Barbarian Army's movements.
"All Great Scholars and Great Scholars who did not participate in the war, come here for a meeting." Fang Yun stood on the city wall and commanded the millions of soldiers.
Not long after, the Great Scholars and Great Scholars of Ning An City arrived.
Compared to the first day, there were fifteen more Great Scholars and two more Great Scholars. The total number of Great Scholars and Great Scholars was more than forty, and the number of Great Scholars was more than one hundred.
However, more than half of the Great Scholars and Great Scholars in Ning An City had just been promoted. In terms of overall strength, they were far from being comparable to the Great Scholars and Great Scholars of Two World Mountain.
When everyone arrived, Fang Yun continued to command the army. At the same time, he said, "The Barbarians used these three days to figure out the actual situation of our Ning An City. At the same time, they are making our army tired. If nothing goes wrong, they will launch an all-out attack once night falls. The outcome will be decided within three days. What do you all think? "
Liu Shan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "We will definitely lose this battle. Why don't we return south and defend Jadesun Pass before the barbarians finish their preparations?"
"In Jingguo, there is a Left Prime Minister who lost without a fight, but there are no soldiers who retreat without a fight." Zhang Poyue retorted.
"Reckless! Humans are smart, but the Barbarians are not stupid. Especially today, we only killed eighty percent of the Barbarians on the first day. This means that the Barbarians are familiar with Fang Xusheng's command and have found a flaw. "Mount Liu said.
Zhou Junhu rolled his eyes at Mount Liu and said, "Prime Minister Liu, don't lie through your teeth. The reason why our army killed fewer barbarians today was firstly because our army was tired. Secondly, the number of barbarians attacking the city had decreased. Therefore, the number of barbarians attacking the city had also become sparse. So, it was normal to reduce the number of barbarians killed by twenty percent. If this matter concerns the School of Miscellany, we are naturally inferior to you. But now that this matter concerns the military, it would be best if you spoke less, lest you become a laughingstock. "
Mount Liu retorted, "General Zhou, are you sure that the barbarians have not made any progress?"
Zhou Junhu said, "I'm not denying the progress of the barbarians. After all, they have two rebels commanding them. However, this isn't the most important reason."
"This Prime Minister has forgotten that those two traitors are also members of the School of the Militarists, right?" Mount Liu asked.
Zhang Poyue continued, "I don't know who they were before they became rebels, but now they must be focusing on the path of the military. After all, even the demons and barbarians know the importance of the path of the military. It can help the demons to defeat the humans. However, there are some people among the human race who don't practice the art of war. They are showing off on the battlefield and denying Fang Yun's achievements. They are not even as good as the demons and barbarians! "
The rest of the School of the Militarists stared at Mount Liu, ready to counterattack at any time.
Mount Liu, however, smiled freely and said, "Fang Xusheng asked if we had any suggestions. I'm just saying it casually. After all … the chances of defending Ning An are less than ten percent. I'd like to ask all of you School of the Militarists. If Ning An falls, millions of soldiers and civilians die, and we retreat to Jadesun Pass in a sorry state … No, at that time, Jadesun Pass won't be able to hold on either. When we return to the capital, who will bear the responsibility of losing the war? The fate of the nation? "
"This General will bear the responsibility!" Zhang Poyue accepted without hesitation.
Many people suddenly realized that Mount Liu was certain that Ning An would fall. That was why he pointed his sword at Fang Yun. However, Zhang Poyue blocked it for Fang Yun first.
"You don't deserve it!" Mount Liu said these three words without any anger, fully displaying the grandeur of a nation's Prime Minister.
Kang Ha-chuan sneered and said, "Mount Liu, Ning An is no longer the Ning An of the past. Many Notre-Dame's palaces have been tested here. Moreover, the passage between the two worlds is nearby. The Notre-Dame will definitely protect it."
"The passage between the two worlds? The passage between the two worlds was supposed to be opened this year, but when Fang Xusheng went to the Ten Frigid Ancient Land, the passage between the two worlds was suddenly cut off. Who knows how long it will take to reopen it? Why don't we change it to another place, such as Notre-Dame or Kong City? As for the test site, I think it's a good idea to move it to Baling in Xiangzhou. After all, it's under Fang Xusheng's rule. The so-called Notre-Dame will protect it to the death is just a rumor. "Mount Liu spoke freely as if he had everything under control. He was much calmer than before.
Many people looked at each other. Obviously, no one knew the reason for Mount Liu's change.
Some people looked at Fang Yun. Fang Yun frowned slightly and shook his head at some of his friends. He didn't know what had happened in the past two days.
However, Fang Yun soon realized that Mount Liu wouldn't lie at this time. This meant that the Notre-Dame would definitely not protect Ning An at all costs.
Mount Liu suddenly smiled and said, "Logically speaking, Fang Xusheng is in Ning An, and the Empress Dowager is personally leading an expedition. The Notre-Dame will definitely take care of the emotions of the people no matter what. After all, Jingguo is resisting foreign aggression. Unfortunately, the Old Man heard that the Zong Family and the Dongsheng Pavilion strongly opposed it. The descendants of the Zong Family and the Princess of the Dragons are still alive, so the Notre-Dame shouldn't help Ning An City. Therefore, the Notre-Dame has actually given up on helping. "
"I don't believe it!" Zhou Junhu said angrily.
"Whether you believe it or not, the day Ning An City breaks through will be the day you all run away."
Fang Yun said, "The deaths of the traitors of the Zong Family and the Princess of the Dragons are not enough to make the Notre-Dame give up on helping Ning An City. However, Bensei has probably guessed the reason."
Many scholars pondered over Fang Yun's words. Some scholars who were close to him discussed in secret.
"Generally speaking, Fang Xusheng wouldn't call himself 'Bensei' if it wasn't necessary. It seems that this matter is quite unusual."
"The special envoy from the Eastern Sage Pavilion of the Zong Clan and the princess of the dragon race have statuses equivalent to the most supreme Confucian Scholars. If their deaths are considered 'insignificant', how could there be enough power to obstruct the sacred academy?"
"That person seemed to want to issue an imperial edict last time, but was stopped halfway. Is he seeking revenge now?"
"It makes sense to think that way. However, using the word 'revenge' is belittling that person. He wouldn't do something like that. Since Fang Xusheng said that he guessed it and not confirmed it, it can't be revenge. It's very likely that it's an exchange. "
"I think I understand. That time when Zong … Ahem, that person stopped the imperial edict midway, he must have put forward a condition. Perhaps the condition was not to save Ning An City?"
"It's very likely, but there are other possibilities."
Soon, people came up with several guesses, all of which pointed to Zong Sheng.
After all, Ning An City was not Kong City, nor was it the capital of Jingguo. The Notre-Dame saved Ning An City out of kindness, but it was her duty not to. Otherwise, if anyone was attacked by the Barbarians in the future, the Notre-Dame would have to help.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to have frozen. Especially those scholars with lower ranks, they looked depressed. They believed that as long as the Sacred Institute was here, they wouldn't die fighting here. But now the Sacred Institute didn't care. If the demons and barbarians broke into the city, those Great Scholars and Grand Scholars could run away, but those scholars who didn't have a meteoric rise could only fight to the death.
Many scholars weren't afraid of being killed by the Barbarians. They just felt that they had been abandoned by the Notre-Dame, cheated, and even betrayed.
Kang Ha-chuan sighed helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about how to resist the Barbarians' attack."
