From the very beginning, he had opposed the annexation of the Great Lake Region because it would break the balance of the region and cause the Great Wall Army to be dissatisfied, leading to the outbreak of a war. At this time, the Great Wall Army had many famous generals, so his side's chances of winning were not high. However, the woman with great power was not satisfied with the current territory and was determined to take over the Great Lake Region. She did have some tricks up her sleeves and subdued the Duke of the Great Lake Region without using a single soldier. Unfortunately, the Great Wall Army reacted quickly and took over the region by force first. Now, it had evolved into such a situation.
To be honest, Jayce did not want to be the commander-in-chief because he was against sending troops to the Great Lake Region. However, the Scott Army did not have a general who could fight against Hua Mulan. In order to not let the Scott Army suffer too many losses, he agreed. However, it seemed that he had made the wrong choice. The woman who had an extreme desire for power did not understand his painstaking efforts at all and sent such a man.
"Does she think that her chances of winning are high? Even if she mobilized more than half of the country's elite troops, if there is no general who can fight against the enemy's commander-in-chief, it will be difficult to win. " Jayce knew that he was now old. It was already very good that he could fight against his opponent like this. Ever since that woman took over power, she was obsessed with using power and did not pay attention to the development of generals. As a result, there were no young talents in the country who could really take charge.
At this time, Jayce suddenly felt a strong murderous aura in the tent. Instinctively, he immediately drew his treasured sword. Before he could shout, three people in black suddenly appeared in the tent. Three similarly black long swords exuded a sharp murderous aura, firmly enveloping him and making him unable to breathe.
At this time, the old general, who felt extreme danger, did not have time to summon his men. He turned his body and the treasured sword in his hand danced around him, stacking into a mountain of swords and blocking the three swords that were aimed at his vital points.
The assassins who were determined to kill the old man didn't give Jesse a chance to catch his breath. The three swords that contained the same terrifying inner strength sword qi pierced towards him from the front, back, and sides like a poisonous snake. Although they hadn't reached him, the biting cold qi cut through the air around Jesse, making the old man's body feel as if he had fallen into ice water.
Previously, in order to block the three swords, he had already consumed more than half of his energy. After all, time was unforgiving. Jesse couldn't gather his qi as quickly as before. Although he tried his best to block the enemy's attack, the sword that came from the side still wedged into his saber net from a strange angle.
A strange cold current flowed in from the place where he was hit, making him unable to complete the second half of the move. The unfortunate old man could only watch helplessly as the two swords pierced his body from the front and back.
When the cold feeling enveloped Jesse's body and mind, he vaguely heard a voice, "Alright, bring his head to see the Lionheart King!"
"Lionheart King?!"
In that instant, a thought flashed through his mind. [The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Perhaps sending troops this time was a mistake.] Before he could smile bitterly in his heart, endless darkness completely occupied his body and mind. "Captain, we've found it."
Baili Shouyue's face was dignified as he looked at Hua Mulan.
Hua Mulan stood at the top of the high Great Wall fortress and looked at the endless mountains. Baili Shouyue didn't know what she was thinking.
Hua Mulan glanced at him and said, "Tell me."
Baili Shouyue reported to her the information that he and Xuan Ce had investigated.
It turned out that the girl who blew herself up and the other two people killed by Leah were dual practitioners hired by Duke Charles of the Kingdom of Babeka at a high price. Since Athena killed her father, the kingdom had been divided into two. One was led by the assassins led by Marshal Zaro, and the other was led by Duke Charles, who had the financial resources of the empire.
They had long been unwilling to stay in the barren northwest tribe. They also wanted to occupy this advantageous military area. This time, taking advantage of the battle between the Scott army and the Great Wall guards, they wanted to assassinate the commanders of the two armies at the same time. Then, taking advantage of the chaos between the two armies, they would defeat the two armies, occupy the link of the Great Wall, and better attack the Qin State.
This plan of "killing two birds with one stone" was indeed vicious. In this way, Scott and the Great Wall guards would be greatly weakened and could not pose a threat to Babeka in the short term.
"I see." Hua Mulan nodded and fell into deep thought.
"Captain, you …" Baili Shouyue saw the captain's increasingly haggard appearance and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it.
He glanced at Hua Mulan and retreated.
In the high Great Wall fortress, the cold wind raged, blowing Hua Mulan's pink hair, which was tied up high, messy.
She stood there alone, unmoved.
"Mulan, I finally found you."
A voice came.
Hua Mulan didn't need to look back to know that it was Kai.
Kai also jumped up and stood beside Mulan. His eyes were full of distress.
"You … Are your injuries better?"
"Well, with the immortal grass that Chan 'er gave me, it's all right."
"Immortal grass …"
Kai smiled bitterly and looked at the woman in front of him who he admired.
He didn't see himself in her eyes.
"If you hadn't saved me at that time, it would have been fine."
Kai said slowly.
Hua Mulan looked at Kai in astonishment and revealed a bitter smile.
The two of them didn't say anything and just felt the endless cold wind.
…
"Sister Chan, those two people have been standing on the fortress for the whole day. When will they come down?"
Eirinn looked at the two of them from below the fortress and asked in confusion.
Leah stood at the side and said, "Ignore them."
Leah and Kai only came to ask Hua Mulan to come down for dinner, but Hua Mulan didn't care and just stood there. Leah didn't know what to do.
Ding dong —
Eirinn was stunned for a moment and took out her phone.
Leah looked at it and asked, "Is this the machine that you said can receive messages from anyone?"
Eirinn nodded.
Her eyes were full of joy.
She knew that in the Kings' Realm, only she and Reynolds could communicate.
Now that the phone was ringing, it meant that he was talking to her.
She turned on the screen nervously.
WeChat message.
Reynolds: Eirinn, it's Reynolds. I'm still alive. Don't worry. How are you doing? After you killed the people, are you okay? That's right. Leah is protecting you. As for me, I'm now heading to the Tang Dynasty. Wait for me there.
Reynolds: Oh, right. I have a lot to tell you now. I've experienced a lot of adventures, and even … Forget it. I'll tell you in detail when I reach the Tang Dynasty Academy.
Reynolds: I'm looking forward to seeing you when we meet. Hehe ~
Looking at Eirinn's relieved expression, Leah joked, "What's wrong? Is that man still alive?"
