To the west of Ling Han City, the camps of the Blackstone Empire's Blue Flame Army and Sea Mountain Army stretched for dozens of miles. Banners were fluttering in the wind, and all kinds of cavalry were attacking, swords were dancing, and shouts were soaring into the sky.
In the sky, dragon roars could be heard as a figure suddenly appeared above the central tent, attracting the attention of many Blackstone Dragon Riders. A black dragon and a red dragon approached quickly, and the Dragon Riders recognized them immediately. They put away their dragon spears and said respectfully, "It's General Beiming Huan!"
Beiming Huan was wearing the general's armor of the Tianji Empire. He nodded and said, "I have something important to see General Baili Qin. Please lead me to him."
"Yes, General. Please follow us."
"Thank you!"
The two Dragon Knights surrounded and protected Beiming Huan as he descended to the ground, and the dense crowd of soldiers swiftly opened up a path as well. All of them looked at Beiming Huan with reverence on their faces. The number one commander of the Tianji Empire was not someone that could be seen anywhere. This time, Beiming Huan had come to the Darkstone Empire's campsite alone, so he must have an important matter. Otherwise, he would not have been so abrupt.
"General Beiming Huan is here to see you!"
The servant's voice was very loud.
"Invite the General in."
Inside the tent, Baili Qin waved his hand, and the door opened. Beiming Huan stepped in with a faint smile on his face, "General Baili Qin, long time no see."
"Yes, long time no see. General Beiming, come, show the General a seat."
After Beiming Huan sat down, Baili Qin smiled, "I wonder what is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"General Baili, why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Beiming Huan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Two-hundred-and-fifty thousand soldiers from the Tianji Empire have already entered the Lingdong Province, and won the eastern capital, Winter Frost City, without any bloodshed. Now, Lin Muyu of the Qin Army has already led nearly fifty thousand elite soldiers into the Lingkong Province. They must be thinking of retreating to the Dragon Slaying Pass to take refuge. This is a golden opportunity, and it's like sending a fat piece of meat into the mouths of the Blackstone Empire's army. General, you have scouts all over the north and south, don't tell me you don't know about this."
Baili Qin put down the dossier in his hand and said, "If not for the Marshal, I really wouldn't have known that Lin Muyu's army has entered the Ling Kong Province."
"Yes."
Beiming Huan paused and said, "You and I are allies, so we should help each other. This time, Lin Muyu was chased into the Ling Kong Province by the army of the Tianji Empire, so the rest will be handled by our allies."
"But …" Baili Qin revealed an awkward expression and said, "Lin Muyu is a ferocious tiger. Subduing a ferocious tiger will result in the loss of too many brave warriors. Moreover … Lady Xi Yin of the Angel Squad is guarding the Zhan Long Pass. She has already expressed her stance. No army from any country is allowed to pass through the Zhan Long Pass.
"Oh?"
Beiming Huan smiled, "Do you think that General Baili, an Emperor God of the eighty-seventh Heavens, would be afraid of a little Battle Angel like Xiyin?"
"Not fear, but respect."
"Alright, let's say that the Marshal has already sent his army to the White Mang Mountain to intercept and kill Lin Muyu's army at the foot of the mountain, and he can completely annihilate Lin Muyu's army before he enters the Dragon Slaying Pass."
"This …" Baili Qin smiled faintly, "The Blue Flame Army and the Sea Mountain Army have been fighting many battles, and they are already exhausted. Moreover, we are now resting and recuperating. If we attack Lin Muyu's elite army at this time, I'm afraid we will suffer great losses!"
"You …"
Beiming Huan clenched his teeth in hatred. Baili Qin's attitude was very obvious, he was not willing to kill Lin Muyu himself. On one hand, Lin Muyu's strength was not to be underestimated, and on the other hand, Lin Muyu was the commander of the Qin Army. If the Blackstone Empire killed Lin Muyu, then Feng Jixing, Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Yan, Xu Jiantao, and the others would vent their hatred on the Blackstone Empire. At that time, it would be really hard to accept. After all, the troops of the Blackstone Empire in the Broken Cauldron World were far less than the Tianji Empire. If they defeated Lin Muyu but lost a lot of troops, then they would soon be eliminated from this continent by the Tianji Empire.
"Ta!"
Beiming Huan heavily placed the teacup on the table and said with an icy cold gaze, "Marshal Baili Qin, do you know that the Heavenly Jue Empire has already gathered an army of 800,000 to attack the Darkstone Empire? Your eastern territory has already lost over 20 cities, and in the blink of an eye, you're about to lose one of the three provinces. Don't tell me that Marshal doesn't think about this?"
"What are you trying to say?" Baili Qin said coldly.
"Why don't we make a deal?"
"Oh? What kind of deal? "
"Marshal, immediately send troops to destroy Lin Muyu's troops for the Tianji Empire, and I … I will immediately send a letter to Tianji City, asking His Majesty to send troops to reinforce the Blackstone Empire, and to contain the powerful troops of the Celestial Empire. What do you think?"
Baili Qin's heart skipped a beat, "Is the Tianji Empire really willing to join forces with the Blackstone Empire to fight against that brat Chen Yu?"
"Why not? If the Celestial Empire destroys the Blackstone Empire, it will not be a good thing for the Tianji Empire, right? "
"Hahahaha …"
Baili Qin laughed and said, "Marshal Beiming Huan is indeed a wise man. Then it's a deal. Marshal, please write a letter and send it to Tianji City. I will also send troops to the Baimang Mountain to destroy the remnants of Lin Muyu's troops."
"Good!"
…
On the eighteenth of the sixth month, outside of Tong Yun Pass, the sound of drums shook the heavens. The densely packed Long Ji Army and Wolf Soldiers covered the sky and covered the earth as they rushed over. Finally, Fang Lan decided to launch an attack on Tong Yun Pass. If they did not break through Tong Yun Pass, the iron hooves of the Tianji Empire would never be able to conquer the fertile land of the Seven Seas Province.
Amidst the beating of the war drums, rows of cavalry opened up a path. In the center of the army, a majestic war chariot moved slowly, like a high platform. On the chariot stood many generals, including Fang Lan, Duo La, Lin Tongtian, and the others. Dragon riders soared in the air. This time, Fang Lan had sent out almost all the guards in Muyu City, planning to fight to the death with Tang Xiaoxi and Chen Xiaoli.
"Is the gift ready?" Fang Lan asked.
Duo La smiled and said, "Don't worry, Commander. It's ready. Once our projectile equipment is installed, we can present it to Tang Xiaoxi and Ouyang Yan."
Lin Tongtian frowned and said, "Don't underestimate Ouyang Yan. She used to be called the Dancing Fire God King in East Heaven, and was probably the strongest God King in East Heaven. When she was about to step into the God Emperor Realm, she was banished by the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor. Otherwise, she would have at least 70 Grotto-Heavens by now."
Duo La smiled and said, "Lord Dragon Rider, you're worrying too much. No matter how powerful the Dancing Fire God King is, she's just a useless god. It's said that Lin Muyu helped her reconstruct her personality, but the godhood given by others is ultimately different from the godhood she has, so the compatibility won't be too high. Therefore, no matter how strong Ouyang Yan is, she's just a useless god. Lord Dragon Rider, you don't have to worry at all. If they dare to come out and fight, leave Tang Xiaoxi to me, and Ouyang Yan to you and your group of dragon riders. I believe … the dozens of dragon riders from the Tianji Empire together should be able to defeat a useless god, right?"
Duo La's words were full of provocation. Lin Tongtian's group of dragon riders all revealed looks of anger, and even Gong Yangjin was rather indignant.
Duo La's style of doing things had always been overbearing, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was Claude's Angel, and her status was not just any ordinary noble. Even so, everyone was still unhappy. After all, Lin Tongtian was one of the three great dragon riders of the Tianji Dragon Riders, and also the vice-captain. He was very open and kind, and was respected by everyone. Now that Lin Tongtian was being bullied, it was inevitable that everyone would feel a little unhappy.
However, Duo La really did not think much of the dragon riders in front of her. Among these dragon riders, the strongest was Lin Tongtian, who only had 45 Grotto-Heavens. Compared to Duo La, who had a divine weapon, he was still much weaker. As for the other Martial Venerables and Martial Warriors, there was no need to even mention them. In Duo La's eyes, they were just a bunch of idiots riding giant bugs.
The carriages were getting closer and closer to the city. When they were about 800 meters away, Lin Tongtian immediately raised his Frozen Ice Spear. One by one, the dragon riders pounced forward, forming the Dragon Imperial Spiral to protect the front. After all, the battle formation had already entered the range of the Magic Crystal Cannons. They had to be on guard.
Very quickly, catapults were constructed one after another. These catapults were designed with torsion, and their projectile strength was not bad. However, when they were set up 500 meters away from the city, they might not be able to throw the giant rocks onto the city walls. They clearly did not have enough strength.
…
"What are they trying to do?" Chen Xiaoli squinted her eyes and stared into the distance. She had already unsheathed her sword, and a group of cannoneers on the city walls had already loaded the Magic Crystal Cannons. As soon as the order was given, they would immediately fire.
"I don't know what they're trying to do …"
Tang Xiaoxi bit her red lips and said, "Pass down the order. Prepare to fire the Magic Crystal Cannons!"
"Wait a moment."
Ouyang Yan said, "Their positions are all under the protection of the Dragon Imperial Spiral. If we fire like this, it will only be a waste of precious Magic Crystal Cannons. Why don't we wait until they give themselves away?"
"Hmm, alright then."
Not long after, the catapults were ready. Many soldiers struggled to twist the springs to the limit. Then, they placed one black object after another in the grooves, and with a swish, they launched the projectiles!
In the air, black shadows fell on the city walls one after another. Suddenly, a very unpleasant stench came from inside the city.
"What is it?"
Tang Xiaoxi was stunned.
A chiliarch pushed the crowd aside and looked at the objects on the ground. He could not help but frown and said, "Your Highness, it's corpses. They are throwing rotten corpses into the city!"
"What!?"
Tang Xiaoxi was stunned. She immediately thought of something and said loudly, "It must be the corpses that have been infected with the plague! Men, fire. Don't touch these corpses. Use the fire to burn them on the spot! "
"Yes!"
Everyone looked at the army of the Tianji Empire in the distance. They could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They were so cruel. They actually separated the corpses of the civilians and the soldiers of the Tianji Empire, and then threw them into the city. They wanted to use these corpses to destroy the morale of the Qin Army. How vicious!
