"Tuk, tuk, tuk …"
A rider entered the Mosong Pass from the south and went straight to the commander's tent. The golden emblem of the Longdan Army Camp on his shoulder looked very beautiful under the moonlight. He was in a hurry and sweat oozed out of his forehead. He took the opportunity to wipe his sweat the moment he opened the tent and knelt down on one knee. He said respectfully, "Commander, the news has been confirmed."
"How many demons are guarding the Fiery Moon City?" Lin Muyu looked up at him.
"Not too many people."
The scout cupped his fists and said, "Most of the civilians in the Fiery Moon City have been killed. Many of them have become the food of the Armor Demons. There are at most 500 Armor Demons guarding the city. I heard from the civilians that there were at least ten thousand Armor Demons attacking the city. But not long ago, these Armor Demons rushed to the east, which is the direction of the Bai Ling City. It seems that they received an emergency call."
"To the Bai Ling City?"
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Is there a war in the Bai Ling City?"
Wei Chou said, "Not for the time being. But not long ago, our scouts sent back a letter saying that Long Qianlin is strengthening the training of the fifty thousand Dragon Riders. It seems that he wants to have a head-on battle with the demons. Judging from the time, the battle should have started now. This is the only reason for the demons to retreat."
"I see."
Lin Muyu said lightly, "Long Qianlin must have eaten the courage of a leopard. He dares to fight the demons head-on? Lei Chong should be there too. Lei Chong will personally supervise the battle. Long Qianlin almost has no chance. "
"This, I don't know. What should we do?"
"According to the original plan, send out five thousand soldiers tomorrow to recover the Fiery Moon City!"
"Yes!"
…
In the middle of the night, the Longdan Army Camp was silent. Everyone had fallen asleep. Everyone knew that they would start another journey the next day. This time, they would enter the territory of the Yihe Country to fight with the demons. Not only would they face the Armor Demons, but they might also face the army of the Yihe Country. So they must not take it lightly. However, there were always people who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
Inside the stable, a lonely figure sat on the wooden railing next to the manger, holding fodder to feed the warhorses. The cold moonlight carved out a clear and bright face. It was Wei Chou.
Beside him, a person walked out of the darkness with a hand on his sword. He smiled and said, "Lord Wei Chou, are you still not asleep?"
Wei Chou raised his head and saw that it was Qin Yan. He smiled and said, "Isn't Little Prince still awake?"
"I can't sleep." Qin Yan grinned and said with a smile, "That's why I came out for a walk. I believe that Lord Wei Chou sleeps and eats well every day. To think that you did not sleep so late today. Is there something on your mind?"
Wei Chou smiled with tacit understanding. "You're the same … Commander only brought five thousand Longdan Army Camp brothers to conquer Fiery Moon City, entering deep into Yihe Nation's territory alone. This isn't his personality at all. Little Prince Qin Yan should also know what Lord Commander wants to do, right?"
"I …"
Qin Yan clenched his teeth and said, "At first, I thought Big Brother was crazy, daring to charge into the heart of Yihe Nation with just one Longdan Army Camp. Behind that steel protective wall is Sunset City. There are over one hundred and fifty thousand Yihe Nation soldiers stationed there, and the one leading them is Ding Xi. Our Longdan Army Camp only has a mere ten thousand people. Going would be suicide. Until tonight when we received the news …"
"Haha, that's right. One news and Commander lost his sense of propriety."
Wei Chou heavily punched the wooden railing. His face became distorted as he said, "Lu Zhao that bastard is in Sunset City. The place where he cut off Qin Lei's head is also in Sunset City … Lord Commander regards Qin Lei as his brother. It is impulsive for him to go to Fiery Moon City, but as a man, I admire Commander's courage. If this trip to Fiery Moon City ends in death, I, Wei Chou, will not regret it!"
Qin Yan nodded, "For Big Brother's head, Big Brother dares to exchange his life for it. What do I, Qin Yan, have to hesitate? Accompanying Big Brother to die in battle under the walls of Yihe Nation is perhaps the best ending for me!"
Wei Chou muttered, "I'm just worried … Lord Commander doesn't want us to take the risk together, and will go to Sunset City alone in the end. This is the situation I'm most worried about. Although … Lord is skilled and bold, but …"
Wei Chou revealed a pained expression. He clenched his teeth and didn't say anything else.
"Don't worry."
Qin Yan patted Wei Chou's shoulder and said, "We are all veterans of the Longdan Army Camp. We will live and die together. I believe in Big Brother, and I believe in you. Sleep early."
"En!"
In the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but no one knew how many changes were happening on this land.
… …
In Southridge Province, the steel protective walls were bright under the moonlight, but the land was already in chaos. The sound of war drums reached the heavens, and on the ground, countless Yihe Nation cavalry were connected to each other by heavy chains, coordinating with the chariots charging forward. In the demon camp, countless ferocious-looking armor demons brandished their weapons as they charged forward, but they fell to the ground one after another under the entanglement of the iron chains. Immediately after, the sharp blades of the dragon riders pierced through their backs.
The armor demons' outer shell was admittedly hard, and normal blades and swords couldn't penetrate it, but if they were hacked many times, they could still break through the shell!
"Roar, roar …"
Amidst the sound of the demon's war drums, another wave of armor demons raised their blunt weapons and charged toward the dragon rider camp. Within the group of armor demons, a general wearing golden armor swung his war hammer, and with an angry roar, smashed a chariot into pieces. The war hammer surged with streaks of black fighting energy, and the demonic fighting energy twisted the chariot and the soldiers' bodies into a pile of minced meat. It was a tragic sight to behold. This general was unstoppable, and a bloody demonic aura enshrouded his body. He swung his war hammer, grabbing the chains, and dragged dozens of dragon riders away. The heavy cavalry collided with each other, and blood and flesh flowed everywhere.
"Mo Ge!"
The general roared loudly. Countless armor demons flapped their wings and flew toward the dense mass of heavy cavalry in front of them.
In an instant, dust flew into the sky, and the great battle that darkened the sky made everyone feel extremely shaken!
On the steel protective wall, a group of Yihe Country's generals stood majestically, watching the chaotic battle below the city wall. All of them frowned. No one knew the outcome of this battle, and no one could predict the final result.
Qin Yi was wearing a robe embroidered with a golden dragon. Watching the fierce battle below the city wall, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "General Long, do we … really only have this choice?"
Long Qianlin cupped his hands and said, "The Iron Chain Formation restrains each other, and it can bring out the human race's power to the extreme. I'm afraid that only this kind of battle strategy can contend with the demon army of the armor demons. Commander, please believe in me. If we don't defeat this powerful armor demon army, I'm afraid we can only guard the steel protective wall forever."
Qin Yi's eyes flickered a bit, and he said, "Actually, we don't have to fight the demon race to determine victory or defeat."
"Commander."
Long Qianlin naturally knew what Qin Yi was thinking, and he said indifferently, "The demon race has two great armies. The Lei Chong army is attacking the Yihe Country, and the QianFeng army is attacking the Empire. No matter which side loses, the human race is completely finished. This battle is very important to us, and I hope that you can be as determined as this subordinate to exterminate the demon race. This is our land, and we can't let this group of stinky cockroaches occupy it."
Qin Yi sighed, and said, "Yes, as you wish. Do your best to fight!"
On the side, the young Qin Huan, who was wearing a golden marshal's armor, cupped his hands and said, "Father, why don't you let me lead the cavalry to help you fight? In my opinion, the Dragon Riders have no confidence in winning against nearly a hundred thousand armor demons."
"Nonsense!"
Qin Yi frowned, and said, "You've just entered the battlefield, so you should learn more tactics from General Long. It's not your turn to go to the battlefield yet."
"But Father!"
"Shut up!"
Qin Yi pointed below the city and said, "That demon general wearing golden armor is Lei Chong. Huan 'er, if you think you're Lei Chong's match, then I won't stop you. Go ahead and fight!"
Below the city, Lei Chong's war hammer smashed several heavy cavalrymen into a pile of minced meat. The demonic aura of blood surged, setting off waves of energy that sent dozens of cavalrymen and their horses flying. The angry roars of the armor demons soared into the sky.
Qin Huan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he said with a frown, "I know I was wrong. Father is right in teaching me …"
On the side, General Li Qianxun cupped his hands and said, "Commander, the young commander's intention to fight for the country is good. It's a good thing that you have such a tiger son. It's just that the young commander is still too young and needs some experience. I hope that you won't blame the young commander."
Qin Yi nodded, and said, "I know. Pass down the order. Have the soldiers of Hundred Ridge City prepare for battle and support the Dragon Riders at any time … The Dragon Riders are our lifeline, and we can't let them be destroyed outside the city."
Long Qianlin said respectfully, "Yes, Commander."
At this moment, a bird descended from the sky and landed on Long Qianlin's shoulder. He took out the letter tube and glanced at it. His expression was neither sad nor happy, as if there was no news at all.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yi asked.
Long Qianlin cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Commander, I've just received a letter from the Earth Star Province. Lin Muyu has led twenty thousand soldiers of the Empire's Longdan Army Camp to fight against the demons. She has won several battles and killed nearly ten thousand armor demons of the demon race. She has already taken back the three passes including Black Pine Pass in the western Qinling Mountains."
"It's Lin Muyu again!"
Qin Yi's eyes were cold as he said, "The three passes were originally in the hands of our Yihe Country, but now they have fallen into the hands of the Empire. This hateful Lin Muyu …"
On the side, Li Qianxun said, "The steel protective wall of the Swift White Province is guarded by Marshal Ding Xi. Don't worry, Commander. Marshal Ding Xi is a veteran of hundreds of battles. Lin Muyu won't get any benefits from him."
"I know." Qin Yi muttered to himself before saying, "Send a letter to Ding Xi. Once Lin Muyu makes any movements, order Ding Xi to immediately lead the army out of the steel protective wall and kill them. I want Lin Muyu's head!"
Long Qianlin couldn't help but be surprised, "Commander, Lin Muyu is a rare famous general. If she can be used by us to fight against the demon race, wouldn't that be better?"
"Hahaha …"
Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh as he patted Long Qianlin's shoulder, "If I kill your godfather, will you still be loyal to me?"
"This …"
Long Qianlin's sword-like brows were tightly locked together, "Will Commander please reconsider. This subordinate only thinks that Lin Muyu is a talent that can be used."
"Understood."
Qin Yi was somewhat impatient as he looked at the battlefield that was filled with the sounds of killing and said, "Send a letter to Marshal Ding Xi to capture Lin Muyu alive and destroy the Longdan Army Camp."
"Yes, Commander!"
