"Long Qianlin was defeated?"
Lin Muyu slowly put down the letter in her hand. Her face was full of shock. "The Thunder Chong Army is indeed brave. They actually killed more than half of the Dragon Riders. The Yihe Nation has suffered a great loss this time!"
Wei Chou nodded, his eyes full of wisdom, and said, "Commander, once the Dragon Riders are defeated, the spirit of the entire Yihe Country to fight back against the demons has already collapsed. Lei Chong will also send the Armor Demon Legion to occupy the cities north of the steel protective wall. In less than three days, they will definitely return to the Swift White Province. At that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"Don't panic … don't panic …"
Lin Muyu pressed on her sword. "We are worried that the demons will attack again. Ding Xi must be worried too. Don't worry, there will be news from Ding Xi soon."
"Alright!"
… …
As expected, at dusk, a Yihe Nation cavalryman holding a white flag came to the city wall and said loudly, "I represent Marshal Ding Xi to request an audience with Commander Lin Muyu. I hope you will grant me an audience!"
A torch was lit on the wall. Lin Muyu smiled. "Let him come up."
"Yes!"
Not long after, the envoy walked up the wall with his hand on the hilt of his sword. Looking at the heavily guarded Longdan Army Camp on both sides, there was no fear on his face. When he arrived in front of Lin Muyu, he cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Deputy General Ding Sangeng of the Yihe Nation greets Commander Yu!"
"No need to stand on ceremony." Lin Muyu's face was full of smiles as if she had seen a relative. She asked, "General Ding has come under orders. I wonder if Marshal Ding Xi has any instructions for me?"
Ding Sangeng smiled and said, "I didn't. Marshal Ding Xi has brewed a cup of good green tea in the marshal's tent and invited Commander Yu to go to First Grade. I just don't know if Commander Yu has the guts to go with me."
"Tea tasting?"
Wei Chou sneered. "I'm afraid that tasting tea is fake. The real intention is to harm my commander."
"What are you saying, General? Our marshal is an upright man. How could he do such a despicable thing?"
By the side, Qin Yan carried his long spear, his gaze cold as he said, "Ding Sangeng, don't you have a glib tongue here. Do you believe that I won't stab a hundred see-through holes in you? Immediately scram out of Star-Absolute City for me! Otherwise, I'll make you regret coming in!"
Ding Sangeng was slightly startled. "Commander Yu, I didn't expect there's not a single courageous person in the Imperial army after all these years."
"Who said that?"
Lin Muyu smiled lightly, "Let's go, if we wait any longer, I'm afraid Marshal Ding Xi's tea will be cold."
"Alright, this way please, Commander Yu!"
"Big Brother …"
Qin Yan and the rest still wanted to stop her, but Lin Muyu already stopped them with a look, saying in a low voice, "After I leave, listen to Wei Chou's arrangements for everything. Understood?"
"Yes …"
"Bring a horse over for me."
Descending the city, she mounted a black warhorse and followed Ding Sangeng straight out of the city, heading straight for the Yihe Nation's camp. Far away, a group of Yihe Nation's cavalry already came forward to welcome them. Each and every one of them looked at Lin Muyu, this general wearing the empire's emblem. Their faces were full of wariness, wielding their long spears as they stared fixedly at Lin Muyu.
"So nervous for what?" Lin Muyu could not help smiling. While talking and laughing, the aura of a Holy Region powerhouse overflowed as she said coolly, "If I want to make a move, you guys aren't a match either!"
Ding Sangeng chuckled and said, "All put down your weapons!"
Only then did everyone lower their weapons.
…
The commander's tent was in the depths of the camp. Only after breaking through one seal after another did they see the central army's main tent. Far away, Ding Xi in a golden armor was already welcoming them.
"Commander Yu, long time no see!" Ding Xi said with a faint smile.
"Long time no see, General Ding Xi."
Lin Muyu gave him an empire's military salute.
Ding Xi was startled. He did not know what Lin Muyu's action meant. He just rubbed his nose and said, "Commander Yu, I am the Yihe Nation's general, I no longer need this kind of etiquette."
"Oh, I forgot." Lin Muyu smiled in relief and said, "Didn't the marshal want to make tea?"
"Aha, yes, let's go, please come in."
An attendant had already walked over with a tea tray. Ding Xi knelt down and made tea as he said, "Does Commander Yu know why Ding Xi did not attack the city?"
"The demon race is strong."
Lin Muyu calmly spat out four words.
Ding Xi could not help but laugh, "Commander, this is indeed the reason why you speak so quickly. The demon race is strong while the human race is weak. If the Yihe Nation and the empire were to fight each other now, I'm afraid the demon race would take advantage of the situation. So, Ding Xi invited Commander Yu here today to discuss important matters."
"If you want me to surrender to the Yihe Nation, then forget it." Lin Muyu smiled faintly.
Ding Xi also smiled, "Do you have any other choice? The Longdan Army Camp will be annihilated sooner or later, and you, the Emperor's adopted son, have no other choice but to be loyal to Commander Qin Yi. "
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu's eyes turned cold. Her killing intent had already been activated. Fierce battle light surged around her, and an invisible domain descended, forcing Ding Xi to sit on the ground.
"I want to see how I have no other choice!" Her palm was enshrouded in the light of the first stars. With one palm, Ding Xi, the marshal of the Yihe Nation, would definitely die.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind the curtain, "Lin Muyu of the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning Four Heroes of Lan and Yan is indeed a genius. This old man is not talented and would like to ask for advice."
There was someone behind the curtain?!
Lin Muyu was taken aback. He was careless when he entered the Commander's tent, and in the next moment, his Saint realm's oppressive aura swept over with an earth-shattering force. The other party also sent out a powerful aura. It was the same oppressive aura, another Saint realm expert!
"Bang!"
The curtain suddenly shattered, and sweat seeped out of Lin Muyu's forehead. Behind the broken curtain was a white-haired old man, but his face was red. Battle energy swirled around him, quickly forming an indescribably powerful force field. It was the Saint realm! This was actually a Saint realm expert at the third level!
Lin Muyu's Saint realm aura had been enhanced by the God Binding Chains, and although she could contend against it, she gradually felt that her strength was not as strong as she wished. With the great disparity in strength, she was no match for this person.
The old man suddenly withdrew his domain, and a shrill sound exploded in the air. Lin Muyu's body was forced back, and her face was pale. She looked at the old man in front of her and asked, "Who are you?"
The old man also withdrew his aura, and smiled, "This old man is Lu Zhan, the second disciple of Celestial Venerable Luo Lan. Greetings, Commander Yu. Under the orders of Marquis Man Ning, I am here to invite Commander Yu to return to Sunset City with me."
"What if I refuse?" Lin Muyu clenched her teeth.
Beside her, Ding Xi stood up and held Lin Muyu's shoulder, "Commander Yu, you really have no other choice. If you don't want your five thousand Longdan Army Camp to die with you, surrender!"
"Dream on!"
Lin Muyu gritted her teeth, and said angrily, "Lu Zhan, kill me now, or one day, I will take Luo Lan's head!"
"How dare you!" Lu Zhan was enraged, and his aura surged again.
Ding Xi panicked, "Lin Muyu, I, Ding Xi, am begging you. Enduring for a while can save your life, why are you still so reckless? I, Ding Xi, am a brave and intelligent general, how can you be so stupid?!"
Lin Muyu's sword was already half-drawn, and after hearing Ding Xi's words, she slowly pushed it back, and said dejectedly, "Even if I surrender to the Yihe Kingdom, I will never work for them."
Ding Xi nodded, "As long as you surrender, I won't ask you to work for us."
"Fine, but you must let the Longdan Army Camp go."
"This … I'm afraid I don't have the authority to do so."
"You!"
At this time, a messenger suddenly rushed in, and said anxiously, "Commander Ding, bad news, the Longdan Army Camp has opened the north gate, and they are trying to break through!"
"What?!"
Ding Xi was shocked, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he slammed the table, "How can this be? Immediately order the Heavy Shield Battalion and Long Spear Battalion to chase after them, don't let a single one of them escape! "
"Yes!"
Ding Xi looked at him coldly, "Commander Yu, it seems like … the Longdan Army Camp has decided to abandon you, you are the commander of the Longdan Army Camp … Has the military power been divided?"
Lin Muyu was silent, and slumped into a seat at the side. She raised her hand to look at Ding Xi, and said, "Let's not drink tea, let's drink?"
Ding Xi smiled, "Alright, let's drink until we're drunk!"
…
Under the starlight, the spear-wielding cavalry opened the way, and over four thousand Longdan Army Camp's heavy cavalry charged forward, forming a huge battle formation. The cavalry on both sides raised their shields high, protecting their bodies. The Yihe Nation's arrows landed on the shields and armors, but it was very difficult to cause any substantial damage to these Longdan Army Camp's heavy cavalry.
In the end, the Yihe Nation's siege line was too long, and a corner of the Longdan Army Camp's front line had already collapsed with just one charge. In fact, the Longdan Army Camp did not even lose many people in battle before they broke out.
The sound of horse hooves was very concentrated. Qin Yan held his long spear, his expression cold, and said, "Lord Wei Chou, are we going to abandon Big Brother just like this? If the Longdan Army Camp breaks out, what about Big Brother? He is heavily surrounded by the Yihe Nation's army! This … Is this really Big Brother's secret order? "
Wei Chou raised his hand and held up a token, "The Longdan Army Camp commander token is here. Lord Qin Yan, please do not question my loyalty to the commander!"
"Alright, it's just that Big Brother he …"
Qin Yan looked back, but only saw the dense mass of Yihe Nation's pursuing soldiers. Although these pursuing soldiers could not catch up to the Longdan Army Camp, it was enough to make him unable to turn back to save Lin Muyu.
…
The next day, the Yihe Nation recaptured Xing Jue City, and the army retreated to the steel protective wall. Thousands of soldiers and horses guarded a huge horse carriage. Inside the horse carriage, Ding Xi and Lu Zhan sat together, while Lin Muyu sat opposite them. She looked coldly at everything outside the curtains, but only saw the billowing dust stirred up by the cavalry.
Ding Xi smiled faintly, "Commander Yu need not worry. Lord Sunset Marquis has already decided to promote you to Sunset City's Protector General, which is equivalent to the rank of General. Yu Yu's letter has already been sent to Hundred Ridge City, and we are only waiting for the Commander's reply to confirm the matter of you being conferred the title of King."
"King?"
Lin Muyu was somewhat at a loss.
"Yes." Ding Xi nodded and said with a smile, "You are the Emperor's godson, so … Marquis Sunset Marquis has proposed to the Commander to confer you the title of King. This is what you deserve. The things that you did not get in the Empire, the Yihe Nation can give them to you!"
"That's right …"
Lin Muyu was silent.
