"The Marquis is here! The Marquis is here! "
In the distance, Min Yulin rode over. He wore a marquis's cloak and looked at everyone with a pale face. "What happened?"
Min Zhan said, "Father, the people of Qihai City are causing trouble. They say they don't have enough to eat."
"Everyone doesn't have enough to eat."
Min Yulin's eyes turned cold. "But so what? Even if they can't eat their fill, they have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
Wang Xi cupped his fists. "Does the Marquis know when the reinforcements will arrive?"
"I don't know."
Min Yulin said lightly, "But I know Her Highness will not abandon us. I know Duke Lan and Duke Yun will not abandon the soldiers of the empire. So, we must continue to wait."
Wang Xi was silent and did not say anything else.
…
Lin Muyu brought Qin Yan and the rest up the city walls, looking at the demon army camp from afar. After so many days of observation, the demon army seemed to have started to become orderly. They were currently learning things such as military law and discipline from the human army. They were no longer like a swarm of bees when they first saw them.
They could even see the fluttering flags in the demon camp from afar. They didn't know what they believed in, but there must be something they believed in. Perhaps it was the nine great gods of ancient times!
"How many days has it been since the demons attacked the city?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Four days," Qin Yan answered. Qin Yan replied, "Ever since that plague, we no longer dared to go out of the city to pull arrows. The remaining arrows have almost all been used up. The iron in the smithy in the city has all been melted to forge arrows, but it is far from enough. In a few more days, I'm afraid that we won't even have the strength to kill our way out."
"Yes …"
…
At night, there was a sudden commotion in the city. When Lin Muyu walked out of her tent, one of Min Yulin's personal guards galloped over and shouted: "General, the Marquis wants you to go to the central camp for orders!"
"Yes, I know."
Lin Muyu leapt onto her horse and followed behind. Qin Yan and Shen Han followed closely beside her. When they entered the City Lord's Great Hall, they discovered that Min Zhan, Xu Ying and the others were also there. The only one missing was Seven Seas City Commander Wang Xi.
"Marquis!"
Min Yulin nodded. "Young general, there's been a mutiny in the army."
"Mutiny?"
"Yes, Wang Xi is leading five thousand soldiers of Seven Seas City to the north gate. They are threatening to open the city gate. They are not willing to sit still and wait for death. Our Fire Halberd City has always been at odds with Seven Seas City, so it is not appropriate for us to suppress them. I will give you ten thousand soldiers now. Immediately bring them to the north gate to suppress Wang Xi's mutiny.
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu stepped forward to receive the token. Min Zhan and Xu Ying followed behind her. This time, Min Zhan and Xu Ying had to listen to Lin Muyu's orders. At this critical moment, his identity as the Imperial Emperor's foster son seemed to be useful.
Leading his ten thousand men straight to the north gate, he could see Wang Xi and the Seven Seas City's men from afar, currently pulling on the iron chains of the city gate to open it.
"Wang Xi!" Qin Yan said loudly, "Are you mad? The Armor Demon army is just a few hundred meters away. Do you want to let them into the city? "
Wang Xi's face was full of anger as he said, "I don't care. I can't watch my brothers starve to death in Winter Frost City. They will die if they kill their way out, but they will die if they stay in the city!"
"Do not open the gate!" Min Zhan shouted angrily.
"No one move!" Wang Xi's eyes were fierce as he said, "Archers, get ready. If they dare take another step forward, immediately shoot them dead!"
"Don't move!"
Lin Muyu raised her hand and said, "It is not worth it to die in the hands of our own people … let them out of the city. Qin Yan, Chen Han, take some men to the city walls. Once they leave the city, immediately seal the gate. Don't let the demons take advantage of the situation."
"Yes!"
Min Zhan had a look of shock. "General, are we really letting them out of the city? Are they … are they committing treason? "
"It is not treason when people are about to die." Lin Muyu said indifferently.
Finally, the city gate slowly rose with the sound of iron chains twisting. The five thousand soldiers of Seven Seas City quickly left the city. Wang Xi rode his horse at the front of the formation with his weapon in hand and shouted, "Men, raise the white flag."
The white flag in the army swayed as Wang Xi raised his weapon high and shouted, "My lords of the Divine Race, we surrender. We are willing to be your slaves. We only ask for our lives!"
… …
Lin Muyu climbed up the city wall and watched Wang Xi's men leave the city from afar. She felt very upset. The demonic army seemed to have noticed the situation in Winterfrost City and immediately surrounded them. An armoured demon carrying a battle axe walked forward and sniffed Wang Xi's scent. Wang Xi was so scared that he trembled all over and said in a trembling voice, "Lord Protoss, we … we surrender with sincerity."
"Roar!"
The Armor Demon roared at Wang Xi's face. Its aura was so strong that the muscles on Wang Xi's face were almost twisted. The next moment, he swung the battle axe in his hand and Wang Xi's head immediately flew into the air.
"Bastard!"
A Seven Seas City Captaincy shouted with a livid face, "These demons have no humanity at all. Brothers, fight it out with them. Even if we die, we have to die happily!"
"Yes!"
The two sides quickly collided, and a few minutes later, it became a massacre. The people of Seven Seas City were already so hungry that they had no strength. Moreover, fighting in the wild was what the demons were good at.
"Should we leave the city to help them?" Qin Yan asked.
Lin Muyu shook her head slowly. "Leaving the city at this time is suicide. Don't go. Quickly close the city gate."
"Yes!"
A group of soldiers hurriedly pulled the noose to lower the gate. Right then, the armored demons who were close to the gate also noticed this situation. They spread their wings and flew over here while uttering shrill shrieks. They were about to rush into the gate.
"Don't move, I'll go!"
Lin Muyu pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword and rushed down. With a slash, an Armor Demon's head and shoulders were cut into two with a "kacha" sound. She turned and leaped up to avoid the sweeping axe of another Armor Demon. She raised her battle boots and kicked its face. That ugly face instantly twisted and two sharp teeth flew into the air. Lin Muyu pulled out a Little Demon Noise Blade from her waist. At the same time the blade cut off the arm of another Armor Demon, the Little Demon Noise Blade swept through the air and cut the throat of the Armor Demon in front of her.
However, more and more Armor Demons appeared in the distance. There were almost a hundred of them rushing over.
"Courting death!"
Lin Muyu's face was full of anger. As she spun, streams of astral energy gathered in her palm. At the same time, her whole body felt like it was being torn apart. Her arm was almost broken by the vigorous astral energy. Starlight suddenly blossomed, turning into a horizontal shock wave that blasted out. In an instant, almost a hundred meters below the city seemed to have turned into a bright galaxy!
Seven Glorious Stars Transformation!
"Boom!"
The astral energy rushed out like breaking dry weeds and smashed a large group of Armor Demons into a pile of minced meat. The power of the entire heaven and earth seemed to have completely erupted at this moment. Time froze. Everyone on the city wall was already dumbfounded. What kind of person could kill over a hundred Armor Demons with one palm?!
"Ga … Ga …"
Lin Muyu panted heavily. Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at the pile of minced meat of Armor Demons in front of her. She leaped up and wrapped the gourd vines around the wall. After two leaps, she landed on the city wall.
"Great Deacon … This move of yours is so powerful!" Min Zhan said with a face full of admiration.
However, Lin Muyu's face was livid. She let out a cry and spat out a mouthful of blood. She fell on the cold bricks of the city wall. The muscles all over her body twitched. She was in so much pain that she clenched her teeth and curled up there. This was the price of using the Seven Glorious Stars Transformation. Not only her soul, but even her body would also suffer from the crazy backlash of the Seven Glorious Stars Transformation!
"Big Brother!"
Qin Yan rushed forward to help him up. His heart ached so much that his tears were about to fall: "Big Brother, are you alright?"
"Help me back to the camp." Lin Muyu's voice was like a mosquito's buzz.
"Mn."
Qin Yan and Shen Han hurriedly helped him up and hurried back to the camp. No one could save Lin Muyu. The only way to save him was to rely on his own body's recovery.
Min Zhan and Xu Ying looked at each other. They could see the reverence and heartache in each other's eyes. Lin Muyu's attack was truly soul-stirring. At the same time, it also made the soldiers on the city wall dumbfounded. No one knew that a human's strength could be strong to this extent!
Raising his head, Min Zhan saw that Wang Xi's troops in the distance had all been slaughtered. The so-called fight with the devil race … Actually, the total number of Armor Demons killed would not exceed ten. The disparity in strength was too great. At this moment, Min Zhan's gaze had an additional hint of determination as he said: "Defend the city for me. The empire is not destroyed!"
This short sentence gave the soldiers on the city wall an additional trace of confidence.
…
At this moment, thousands of miles away in the Suppressing Demon Pass, the sky was filled with stars. The summer night breeze gently swept past, so cool that it was intoxicating. On top of the city wall, a beautiful girl wearing short boots was sitting on the battlement with her graceful figure. Behind her, a light muslin robe swayed gently in the wind. Her gaze was looking at the distant east. Suddenly, her heart ached slightly and she let out a whimper.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Beside her, Tang Zhen, who was guarding with a group of guards, could not help but ask.
"Nothing."
Tang Xiaoxi shook her head in pain and said: "Tang Zhen, I suddenly feel uneasy for no reason … I always feel that something has happened. I … I'm worried that Lin Muyu will …"
Tang Zhen smiled slightly: "Your Highness, rest assured. Two days ago, the imperial capital just received the news of the Yangwei Army. They have successfully defeated the 70,000 Yihe Country troops led by Man Fang, the son of Marquis Xiyang. Moreover, it was a complete victory. Master Lin Muyu will definitely be fine."
"That was only the letter from half a month ago. After that, there was no more."
Tang Xiaoxi's eyes were like water as she said: "The letter from Lingdong Province to Lanyan City is at most five days … Why is it like this? I don't understand … Tang Zhen, from now on, you will guard the Suppressing Demon Pass. You have to get along well with Linghu Yan and don't make trouble. I will go back to the imperial capital tomorrow. I can't stay here any longer … No, I have to go back to the imperial capital now. Prepare the horse immediately. Xiao Yin must also need me at this time."
"Princess …"
"Do it immediately."
"Yes!"
