South of the Dragon Seeking Forest, Ji County. This was a small county with a population of less than 50,000.
At night, the sky was filled with stars. A large contingent of the empire's troops gathered at the open space in the north of the county. The lights from the tents were continuous, and the city of Ji County was also brightly lit. It was rare for the empress to personally visit Ji County, and even the people of Ji County were very happy.
…
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi stayed in the county magistrate's office, and Zhang Wei personally led the imperial guards to guard the perimeter.
"Your Highness, these delicacies are the specialties of our Ji County. Look, this is our Ji County's most famous salt and pepper pork trotters. This is delicious chamois stew soup. And this is badger meat with lanjin vegetables. Please have a good taste, Your Highness and the princess."
The county magistrate bowed and introduced some of the delicacies. At the same time, he looked at the old man at the side and said, "Sir Qu Chu … You should have a taste too. After living in the Dragon Seeking Forest for so long, it must have been a long time since you had a good meal."
Qu Chu nodded and said, "Her Highness and the princess are having a meal. You may leave. I will call you if there is anything."
"Yes!"
The magistrate bowed and left.
Qin Yin slowly sat down with a joyous expression on her face. She took out that piece of paper from her bosom and looked at it again and again, the joy on her beautiful face became even more intense. Tang Xiaoxi on the other hand said in a bad mood, "This is already the 300th time you have read the letter since this afternoon!"
Qin Yin burst into laughter, "I am happy!"
Qu Chu also laughed, "Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing joined hands to drown the demon army in the Wildfire Plains and killed more than 60,000 armored demons. This is indeed an unprecedented achievement and changed the fate of the empire. It is worth celebrating. Your Highness, eat more. Tomorrow morning, we will set off to Wugu City to meet up with Yu and Feng Jixing. We will regain the empire's territory. You must conserve your strength."
"Yes." Qin Yin picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of muntjac meat and placed it on Tang Xiaoxi's plate. She said with a smile, "Xiao Xi should eat more too. Right now, I'm counting the most elite troops under your command. The task of recovering lost territory will still be handed over to you."
Tang Xiaoxi glared at her and said, "Xiao Yin, we are so lovey-dovey … I wonder what Mu will think when she sees this."
Qin Yin was as happy as a bird flying out of its cage. She couldn't help but joke with her good sister, "I don't know. Maybe Brother Yu will be angry to death!"
Qu Chu remained silent, not saying a word.
"Oh right, where did Marquis Pingnan Xiang Yu go?" Qin Yin asked.
Qu Chu cupped his fists and said, "Xiang Yu led nearly a hundred thousand men out of the Dragon Seeking Forest yesterday morning and headed towards the direction of the steel wall."
"How many troops do we have now?"
Qu Chu thought for a while and said, "Commander Su Yu still controls nearly a hundred thousand soldiers from Muyu City. Princess Xi also has nearly a hundred thousand. Together with Zhang Wei, Yao Yuan, and the others, we have nearly two hundred and forty thousand soldiers. Many of them are new recruits recruited from various counties along the way. Their combat power is very average. The main force is the fifty thousand demons and forty-five thousand Longdan Army Camp under Princess Xi's command."
"Looks like we really need Xiao Xi to be the main force."
"Yes, I will." Tang Xiaoxi looked at the steaming dishes quietly and said, "I think Mu thought the same when she lent me the main force of Longdan Army Camp."
…
As they were eating, there was suddenly a noise outside.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yin asked with a frown.
Outside, Zhang Wei came in with his sword and cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, a group of Armor Demons appeared in the east of Ji County and attacked the city. There are about twenty thousand of them. Commander Su Yu is leading people to resist. Your Highness, please retreat immediately!"
"Another twenty thousand Armor Demons?" Qin Yin suddenly stood up and said, "What's going on? Isn't the main force of QianFeng in Cangnan Province? Why did they appear in the territory of Tianshu Province? "
"I don't know either. But this demon army doesn't seem to be QianFeng's people. There are a few Five-star Demon Grandmasters in charge. Commander Su Yu … I'm afraid she won't be able to resist them soon."
Qin Yin knew the fighting power of the Armor Demons very well. The arrow boxes and crossbows that accompanied Su Yu had long been lost or destroyed. The city wall of Ji County was only five meters high and it was made of mud. It couldn't resist the attack of the Armor Demons. With the crazy fighting power of the Armor Demons, Su Yu's hundred thousand soldiers of Muyu City might not be able to resist the crazy attack of the Armor Demons even if they were all wiped out.
"No."
Qin Yin took a deep breath, and the peaks on her chest rose and fell slightly. She said, "Little Xi, Qi Long's Bile Battalion, come with me to battle. We can't let Aunt Rou resist the demons alone. Lord Qu Chu, please come with me. There are five star demon grandmasters among the demons, and they need your strength."
Qu Chu cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
…
Under the starlight, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. They galloped to the east of Ji County. There, fire rose up to the sky. It seemed that Su Yu had used fire to attack, but the effect was not very obvious. The piles of fire couldn't be gathered together. The Armor Demons crossed the wall of fire and slashed their weapons at the shield formation of the Muyu City's defenders.
"Block them! Don't retreat!" In the crowd, a Captaincy of Muyu City shouted loudly.
But the price of blocking them was sacrifice. On the front line of the shield formation outside the city, groups of shield soldiers were harvested by the Armor Demons like harvesting wheat. In the dark of the night, the black Armor Demons came from afar. They all looked ferocious and horrible.
By the time Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Qu Chu, Zhang Wei, and the others arrived, many of the generals guarding the city had already noticed them. All of them had shocked expressions on their faces. "His Highness is here! Her Highness is here! "
The crowd was excited, but it didn't seem to improve their fighting power much.
Tang Xiaoxi gently waved her hand and said, "Longdan Army Camp, prepare the White Drill Arrows to reduce the pressure on the Iron Blade Army."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A group of Longdan Army Camp soldiers raised their bows and shot a round of arrows into the distance. The effect was obvious. Many Armor Demons fell to the ground, howling in pain. Unlike the arrow formation of the Iron Blade Army, the arrows could only bounce off the bodies of the Armor Demons and couldn't cause any real damage.
Qin Yin dismounted from her horse and slowly walked forward. Her battle boots stepped into the blood as she slowly pulled out the Ziyin Sword. With a shout, rays of golden light appeared around her and turned into the shape of a dragon. It was the second stage of the Dragon Slayer Incantation, the Coiling Dragon Strike. With a buzz, the golden light transformed from the God Binding Chains exploded in the night sky, blasting dozens of Armor Demons into pieces. The golden light soared into the sky, inspiring everyone's hearts.
"Long live Your Highness!"
"Your Highness is so powerful!"
"The empire will win!"
The group of empire soldiers cheered in unison, but this also seemed to attract the attention of some people in the demon battle formation. Behind the group of Armor Demons, there were a total of five black-robed old men sitting on war horses. Each of them had five star sect emblems pinned on their chests. They were all five-star demon sect powerhouses. Among them, an old man with a long red beard laughed coldly and said, "The God Binding Chains of the human martial soul … heh, it's known as the martial soul of a king!"
Another old man said, "Elder Chi Ji, don't you want to meet this human empress?"
Chi Ji smiled, "Elder Jin Huang, don't look down on humans. Qin Yin is still wet behind the ears, so there's nothing to be afraid of. However, the Fire Cauldron Qu Chu beside her is very powerful. He's a Saint Heaven Realm cultivator. I'm afraid you and I won't be able to stop him by ourselves."
Jin Huang's eyes turned cold, "Let's cut to the chase. His Majesty the Demon King sent the five of us on a secret mission to coordinate with Marshal QianFeng and find a chance to kill Qin Yin. Now is a heaven-sent opportunity. How about this … Elder Xuanmi, Elder Zhou Tan, and I will block Qu Chu, while you and Elder Lan Fu will kill Qin Yin. How about it? You're the number one among the fifteen elders appointed by His Majesty the Saint Emperor, and your cultivation is also the strongest among us. You're not afraid, are you? "
"Hahahaha …"
Chi Ji couldn't help but laugh, "No need to provoke me. Let's go and kill Qin Yin. Now is the time. Let's go together!"
"Yes!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Five figures soared into the sky. Although the five-star demonic grandmasters couldn't fly, they could stay in the air for a short while. Stepping on the air, they created a blood-colored ripple with their Grandmaster Demonic Energy and flew into the sky again. In a few leaps, they had charged into the battle formation of the imperial army. Chi Ji condensed a vortex in each of his palms and shouted, "Die, Qin Yin!"
"Not good!"
Tang Xiaoxi gritted her teeth, and flames burst out from her body as she suddenly entered the Nine-tailed Transformation state. Meanwhile, Qin Yin flew in front of Tang Xiaoxi, and with a shake of her sword, three True Dragon God Binding Chains appeared in front of her chest, forming the radiance of the Sacred Dragon Shield!
"Bang!"
Chi Ji waved his left palm, and the whirlpool within the vortex exploded on the Sacred Dragon Shield. After all, there was a great disparity in strength. Qin Yin's delicate body trembled slightly, and the Sacred Dragon Shield shattered. The God Binding Chains turned into golden light and scattered on the ground. The shattering of her martial spirit also meant that her Sea of Energy had suffered a certain amount of damage. However, she was unwilling to continue being a coward. She forcefully activated her battle qi, and the eight God Binding Chains once again gathered on the blade of her sword. They lingered together, condensing into the shadow of a fiery red dragon, and whistled out!
The fourth style of the Dragon Slayer Incantation — Golden Dragon Flames!
Chi Ji didn't know how strong this style was, but he could feel the biting cold energy coming from it. He didn't hesitate to raise his right palm and smash it down!
"Bang!"
The energy exploded, and the impact forced everyone in the surroundings to retreat.
Not far away, Qu Chu had already taken out his fire cauldron, and he was fighting with the three Five-star Demon Grandmasters in the midst of the flames. His palm force created streaks of fire in the air, and the air seemed to be filled with Master Devil Force, making it impossible for Qu Chu to fully release his strength. The three Five-star Demon Grandmasters rushed to help each other, and one advanced and one retreated to avoid the sharp edge of Qu Chu's fiery palm. Within a short period of time, he was actually unable to kill or injure any of them.
"Buzz!"
Flames enshrouded her body, and the nine flame tails behind Tang Xiaoxi danced lightly. There was a hint of hostility on her beautiful face. Suddenly, she leaped up and tangled with Elder Lan Fu, and her palm was facing Lan Fu's chest. Soul Suppressing Seal!
"Boom!"
Lan Fu could only use the Master Devil Force to protect his body, but he was still hit so hard that his Qi and blood were surging. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Little girl, you are so powerful. I like you!"
The flames around Tang Xiaoxi's body spun rapidly, and a divine seal fell from the starry sky, and the Cosmic Star Seal directly hit Lan Fu's head!
"Good timing!"
Lan Fu raised his arm, and the Master Devil Force surged out violently, forcefully blasting away the energy light of the Cosmic Star Seal. However, when he looked down, he saw the smile on Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful face. Her little boots were wrapped in flames, and with a "bang", she kicked Lan Fu's waist. It was the simplest attack without any special moves, but it was also the most effective one.
…
The five Major Star Demon Grandmasters attacked together, and the Armor Demons seemed to be encouraged. One by one, they waved their spears and axes, and roared as they attacked Su Yu's army. The humans had already suffered heavy losses.
Under the bright moonlight, the intense sound of horse hooves came from afar, and an old and familiar voice sounded, "God Might Battalion, flank them and kill them. Help Her Royal Highness!"
The moonlight illuminated the battle flag, which was embroidered with a golden flame.
The God Might Battalion had appeared again!
