When the steward saw this, he turned around and cupped his fists at Song Tianli.
"Thank you, Old Master Song."
Song Tianli waved his hand and walked away. In his eyes, the steward was just a servant. The only difference was that this was a slightly higher level servant.
But in the end, he was still a servant.
Therefore, Song Tianli was not in the mood to deal with this steward.
When the steward saw this, he lowered his head with a humble expression, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, 'How dare you look down on me. Today is the day of your Song family's death.'
After Song Tianli left, the steward swaggered into the relay station. When he passed by the guard, he deliberately glared at him arrogantly.
However, the guard did not look sideways.
The steward walked into the relay station and found the deputy.
When a relay station was built in the territory, the system would automatically spawn a deputy in charge of receiving and receiving mail. This deputy was not under the jurisdiction of the territory. If he was unfortunately assassinated, he would automatically revive after a day.
The deputy smiled and greeted him, "Sir, are you sending or receiving a letter?"
"Neither."
"Neither. Then why are you here?"
"To take your life!"
"You!"
Before the deputy could finish speaking, a flying needle shot into his heart like a bolt of lightning. The poison spread as the needle entered his body, and the deputy died on the spot.
It turned out that this inconspicuous steward was a martial arts expert that the Ruan family had spent a lot of money to hire. For this operation, the Ruan family had put in a lot of effort.
With a flash of white light, the deputy's corpse disappeared. He would only revive after a day. The guard outside the relay station did not hear anything and naturally would not come in to check.
The steward set up the scene and then walked out of the relay station calmly. Just like that, the teleportation array and relay station in Tianshuang County City were paralyzed, and external communications were completely blocked.
After the steward left, he went to a remote alley and fired a signal flare before disappearing.
"Who fired the signal flare?"
Song Wen had just woken up and was doing his morning exercises in the courtyard.
"Guards!"
"Here!"
"Go and find out for me."
"Yes!"
At this time, the slightest disturbance would trigger Song Wen's sensitive nerves. As the eldest son, Song Wen's duty was to ensure that Tianshuang County remained safe and sound.
Song Wen felt a little uneasy when he woke up in the morning. The sudden rise of the signal flare gave him a bad premonition, as if something big was about to happen.
Just as Song Wen was deep in thought, the 200,000 strong army of the [Southern Alliance] had already rushed towards Tian Shuang County. The overwhelming army arrived at the outskirts of Tianshuang County through the teleportation formation.
As soon as he received the signal, he immediately charged out of the camp.
The guards at the city gate looked at the approaching army and trembled in fear.
That was an army of 200,000 soldiers. When they lined up together, there was no end in sight. The area outside the city turned black. The black tide of people surged forward, intending to devour the entire Tianshuang County.
Under the dark blue sky, the black tide surged, the banners fluttered, and the spears stood in great numbers.
One by one, the phalanxes were neat and uniform. There were saber and shield soldiers, archers, and cavalry. Mixed in with the army were siege vehicles, catapults, and mobile arrow towers.
The war horses neighed, and the war drums thundered.
Before the army arrived, an imposing aura that was as heavy as a mountain pounced forward.
The overwhelming killing intent caused people to be unable to breathe.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Shouts that shook the heavens reverberated in the wilderness, incessantly lingering in the ears.
The soldiers stepped on the drums, shouted their slogans, and advanced forward with determination. Any living being that stood in the way of the army was turned to dust. The commoners outside the city were not spared, and did not even have the time to run.
Because within a radius of a few miles, all the empty spaces were filled with soldiers.
Run? Where to run?
Within the army formation, any random rain of arrows would send the commoners to hell.
The army did not waver at all, stepping on the corpses of the commoners, they continued forward, not wasting a single second, as if they were not killing a group of living people, but a group of ants.
In this chaotic world, where would there be mercy?
The city gate was in chaos.
"Don't push, don't push!"
"Let me in, let me in quickly."
"Child, where is my child? Who has seen my child?" In the crowd, a woman walked in the opposite direction, looking anxious.
"Close the city gate, quick, close the city gate!"
At this critical moment, the guards at the city gate did not care about the lives of the commoners at all, and directly pulled up the drawbridge. Anyone who dared to stop them would be killed without mercy.
"Ah, murder, the soldiers are killing people!"
"Devil, you are devils!"
"God damn, you will go to hell!"
"Buttface, it's me, I'm your neighbor's aunt, Buttface, save her!" A woman shouted to a guard, looking anxious, but with a hint of expectation.
The guard's face was as gloomy as still water, as if he were deaf, and he still waved the butcher's knife. Two lines of tears flowed down the young face of the soldier.
Many of these commoners were neighbors of the soldier, and some were even related to him.
Now, the soldiers were waving the butcher's knife at them. How cruel the world was! The aunt did not wait for help and died in the chaos of the knife, her eyes full of unwillingness and fear.
The woman who lost her child was still shouting anxiously, trying to find her lost child in the crowd.
"Child, child!"
At this moment, a child walked out of the corner of the city gate.
The woman cried tears of joy, and quickly walked forward, trying to push the crowd away to meet the child. The child also had an innocent smile on his face, and the braid on his head was very cute.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and shot through the woman's chest.
"Uh!"
The woman's happy expression froze on her face, but her eyes were full of infinite anxiety. At this moment, all she thought about was the child's safety, and she did not care about her own life and death at all.
"Wah ~ ~ ~"
Seeing his mother fall to the ground, the child in the distance cried out.
The child's cry was extremely ear-piercing in the hustle and bustle. At this moment, a guard finally could not help but rush out and carry the child back.
"Wah ~ ~ ~"
The child cried incessantly, his little head facing the place where his mother had fallen.
Seeing that the child was saved, the brave mother's eyes were filled with relief, and she died. Along with her, hundreds of commoners were sacrificed.
The battle had not started, and the city gate was already drenched in blood.
The affairs of the world were difficult, and human lives were like dirt.
"Quick, quickly report to His Excellency!"
The guard spoke with a trembling voice, and his teeth chattered.
"Yes, Sir!"
A guard ran down the city gate tower in a panic, and went straight to the Lord's Mansion.
Without the guard going to report, the sound of the war drums outside the city had long caused uneasiness in the city. The commoners in the city were all too familiar with the sound of the war drums.
For a moment, the commoners in the city were in a panic.
As soon as Song Wen rushed out of the Lord's Mansion, he bumped into the guard who came to report.
"Speak, what's going on?"
Song Wen tried to calm himself down and gave the order. At this time, anyone could panic, but he could not.
"His Excellency, His Excellency, it's bad, an army, a densely packed army."
The guard was obviously quite frightened, and his report was incoherent.
"How many enemies are there, which unit?"
Song Wen did not get angry, but asked in a gentle voice. His words were filled with a calming power.
Hearing Song Wen's words, the guard came back to his senses and was no longer as nervous. "I can't count, I can't count, but there are at least a hundred thousand of them. There are all kinds of flags, none of which I've seen before. "
Hearing this, Song Wen frowned.
There were only three thousand guards in Tianshuang County. The main force had already been led by Song Wu and joined the army of Shanhai City, and they were under Bai Qi's command.
Song Wen did not expect that the enemy would actually target Tianshuang County.
Something was wrong, something was really wrong.
The lords of Zhaoqing County could barely protect themselves, so why would they have the leisure to attack Tianshuang County?
Thinking of the countless unknown flags that the guard had described, Song Wen's heart trembled. He knew that a force outside of Zhaoqing County must have intervened in the battle of Zhaoqing.
As for who it was, that was no longer the most important thing.
The most important thing right now was how to get through this crisis. Tianshuang County could not be allowed to fall.
Otherwise, not only would Shanhai City's strategy be affected, but more importantly, Tianshuang County was the Song Clan's painstaking effort. If it fell, all of the Song Clan's plans would be for naught.
Thinking of this, Song Wen could not help but shiver.
"Men!"
"Here!"
Song Wen took out the lord's seal and handed it to his personal guard. "Quickly take my seal and teleport to Shanhai City to ask for help. Tell them that it is an emergency and that reinforcements must come."
"Rest assured, Lord!"
The personal guard knew that the situation was urgent and turned toward the teleportation formation.
Just like in Shanhai City, the teleportation formation in Tianshuang County was not far away from the lord's residence. Just as Song Wen was about to personally oversee the battle, he heard the cry of his personal guard from behind.
"Lord, something big has happened!"
The personal guard ran over, his face pale.
Song Wen's heart trembled again. The bad premonition grew stronger.
"Speak!"
"Lord, the teleportation formation has stopped. It can't be used at all."
"What?"
Song Wen's face turned pale with fright. He could no longer maintain his composure, and his body trembled.
At this moment, Song Wen's heart was like dead ashes. He knew that Tianshuang County was finished. The Song Clan was finished.
"Lord, Lord!"
The personal guard looked at Song Wen with concern and anxiety.
"I cannot fall. Even if I have to fight to the last man, the Song Clan will never surrender. "
Song Wen tried his best to calm his mind. He was no longer in the mood to investigate why the system's teleportation formation could not be used. The most important thing now was to inform Wu Yi and Bai Qi of the situation in Tianshuang County.
"Go and see if the relay station is functioning normally."
Song Wen instructed the personal guard as he wrote the letter.
The strange situation made Song Wen feel that a huge conspiracy was shrouding the sky above Tianshuang County. At this time, anything strange could happen.
The relay station was the only way for Tianshuang County to communicate with the outside world.
Song Wen prayed in his heart that nothing bad had happened. (To be continued.)
