On the night of the 18th day of the first month of the 879 year of the Blue Waves Calendar, the beast-men army gathered 50,000 beast-men soldiers and launched a sneak attack on the western border of the Na Zhao Empire. The 100,000 soldiers of the Nalan Empire, who were twice their number, were utterly defeated. In just a few days, the beast-men army launched a counterattack on more than ten towns in the western part of the Na Zhao Empire. They plundered all the provisions and treasures they had plundered. The beast-men army returned to the Hengduan Mountain Range when the soldiers of the other big cities of the Nalan Empire arrived.
At the same time, the Proud Moon Empire's roaming cavalries that were hiding outside the Yatesianna defense line began to harass the Dragon Empire's borders. Some of them even disguised themselves and entered the hinterland of the Dragon Empire. They carried out inhumane massacres on some of the towns with weaker defenses.
As for the armies of the Violent Dragon Empire and the Nalan Empire stationed at the Yatesianna defense line, they weren't having an easy time. There was no need to doubt the effects of the bad weather. Furthermore, the armies of the Proud Moon Empire would frequently send troops to harass them at night. The situation suddenly became complicated and confusing.
The armies of the two empires were pressuring the borders of the Yatesianna defense line. If the beast-men army launched a large-scale attack at this time, it would definitely be a very troublesome matter. This caused the two empires to fall into a dilemma. If they withdrew their troops, the victories they had won and the territories they had seized would become meaningless. However, if they didn't withdraw their troops, they would be afraid of losing the empire. Moreover, under such bad weather, the morale of the soldiers was extremely low. If they forcefully attacked the Yatesianna defense line, the gains would not make up for the losses.
At this moment, Longyi was sitting in the main tent of Wu Shuang's camp. He was reading the military report that had just been delivered. He frowned and passed the military report to Beitang Yu, who was sitting beside him. He asked, "Yu 'er, what do you think?"
Beitang Yu quickly skimmed through the report and her pretty face changed slightly. She muttered to herself for a long time before saying, "My husband, the beast-men race and the Proud Moon Empire are facing a crisis at the same time. Shouldn't we withdraw a legion to protect ourselves? In any case, it is impossible to attack the Yatesianna defense line this winter."
Shaking his head, Longyi stood up and walked towards a huge military map hanging in the middle of the tent. Looking at the Yatesianna defense line that stretched for 800 miles, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"That's not appropriate. If our Dragon Empire and the Nalan Empire were to transfer one legion back, then there would be two huge gaps in this eight hundred kilometer defense line. At that time, if the Proud Moon Empire were to attack us one by one, it would be too late for us to cry," Longyi said with a frown.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to drag on like this? "Beitang Yu asked.
"Let's wait for the news from the Hengduan Mountains." Long Yi smiled mysteriously. As for the direction of the situation, it all depended on Yin Jian.
*****
In the Nine Leave Town of the Proud Moon Empire, a graceful figure wearing a priest robe with golden edges and a cloak landed on the bluestone road in the middle of the town.
It was already late at night. Other than a few dim magic street lamps swaying in the wind and snow, there was no one on the street.
Looking at this familiar town, Sibi, Youyou sighed. She slowly strolled on the cold street as many memories quietly surged into her mind.
Since she was a child, she had a blood-red birthmark on her face. Moreover, she was an orphan. She had suffered countless grievances since she was a child. If it wasn't for her cousin's family helping her, she would have already starved to death. In a daze, Sibi once again thought of Li Su. Is he still holding a grudge against me? It wasn't that Sibi didn't have any feelings for Li Qing. It was just that the feelings she had for Li Qing were more like that of a brother and sister. Therefore, she would try her best to avoid the love that Li Qing had shown her since she was a child.
Sibi longed for love. The feeling that she pursued was something that Li Qing couldn't give her. It was only a few years ago that her destined encounter with her husband, a scoundrel with a sense of righteousness, touched the string in the depths of her heart. She was caught off guard and fell into it. Because of this, she suffered pain, hesitated, and even felt despair.
But today, things didn't seem to be that bad. The birthmark that had been troubling her all this time had miraculously disappeared. These days, she felt that the absorption of light magic elements could only be described as terrifying. Everything was beautiful and blissful, except that her Pure Yin Body still couldn't be changed.
Thinking of Longyi, the smile on Sibi's face became sweet and moving.
In the blink of an eye, Sibi walked to the end of the town while her thoughts were flying. She stopped and looked around. She turned around and walked to a chess hall. She knocked on a red lacquered door with a special rhythm.
Not long after, the magic lights in the courtyard lit up. Hurried footsteps sounded, and the door creaked open.
"Cousin, I'm back." Sibi said in a cheerful voice. Her eyes looked through the veil of the cloak at her cousin who had given her a new lease on life.
"Sibi, you little girl … Hurry up and come in. It's freezing outside." Cousin Susu had a coat draped over her. It was obvious that she had just gotten out of bed.
The two affectionately walked into the room hand in hand. At this time, Sibi's cousin's husband had also gotten up. He was very happy to see Sibi.
"Husband, you can sleep alone tonight. I'll sleep with Sibi. Let's talk about intimate things," Susu said to her husband.
"Okay, you sisters have a good chat tonight. I'll go to sleep first." Cousin's husband smiled and returned to his room.
Susu pulled Sibi into another bedroom. As soon as she entered the room, she asked with concern, "Sibi, how have you been these two years?"
"Cousin, I've been very good. Really," Sibi said casually. She casually took off the cloak on her head and put it to the side.
"That's good. You … Ah, Sibi, your face … How …" Susu saw Sibi turn around and exclaimed in disbelief. At this time, Sibi's pretty face was as white as jade. Her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting. She was a peerless beauty. The red birthmark that covered the entire left side of her face had completely disappeared. In its place was skin that was as tender as peeled egg white.
Susu didn't believe it. She reached out and touched and pinched the left side of Sibi's face. It felt so good that she couldn't bear to let it go.
"Alright, cousin, stop pinching. If you pinch it again, what should I do if it goes back to how it used to be?" Sibi joked in front of her cousin.
"That's right. Don't go back to how it used to be." Susu really pulled her hand back. She was really afraid that if she continued to pinch, she would get another birthmark.
Susu pulled Sibi to bed. The two of them were only wearing underwear as they huddled under the blanket to keep warm. This reminded Sibi of when she was young. At that time, she would sleep with her cousin every night. She would listen to her cousin talk about her life, her hopes, and her Prince Charming. At that time, Sibi wasn't used to expressing her feelings. She could only be a loyal listener. When her cousin asked her what her dream was, she only said that she wanted to become a respected magician. She didn't say that she also hoped to have her Prince Charming in her life.
"Sibi, tell me, what happened to your face?" Susu asked as she pressed against Sibi's forehead.
"I don't know. Anyway, after I woke up, the birthmark was gone. I don't know if it was a blessing from the God of Light." Sibi smiled.
"Nonsense. How could there be such a thing?" Susu obviously wouldn't believe it.
"It's true, cousin. I'm not lying to you," Sibi said.
Susu could tell from Sibi's tone that she was serious. She couldn't help but tease, "Okay, okay, I believe you. It seems that our Sibi is really blessed by the God of Light. I wonder if the God of Light has taken a liking to our Sibi."
"Cousin, you're talking nonsense again. You're not allowed to joke about the God of Light!" Sibi anxiously said. She even put her palms together and prayed to the God of Light for forgiveness.
Susu smiled. "Hehe, it's my fault. I forgot that your heart already belongs to someone. From the way you look, you must be together with that brat."
Sibi's face turned red and she let out an almost inaudible sound.
Susu said, "You really are together with him? He has so many women around him. Would he give them up for you? Although I have only seen him once, I know he is not that kind of person."
Susu said. Sibi nodded and said, "Yes, he is not that kind of person."
"Then you … Have you forgotten the rules of our Moxi clan?" Susu pinched the soft flesh on Sibi's waist.
"I haven't forgotten, but I can't control myself. I can't be without him." Sibi said emotionally.
Susu sighed. She already knew the temperament of this cousin of hers. Once she falls in love, she will not change even in life or death. Perhaps, even if there was hell in front of her, she would jump down without hesitation.
"Li Qing came back to request to pass the 18 tests of succeeding the patriarch. If he succeeds, he might be able to find a way to change the rules of the clan. It's just that you and him …" Susu wanted to say something but stopped. She had seen the affection Li Qing had for Sibi. According to her, Li Qing and Sibi were a match made in heaven. However, no one could say anything about feelings.
Sibi was silent for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether the rules of the clan change or not, no one can separate me from my husband."
"Husband?" Susu said in surprise.
"Actually, we have already bowed to heaven and earth. We are officially husband and wife." Sibi had a happy smile on her face.
"What? You are really … I don't know what to say to you. Forget it, the rice has already been cooked. It's too late to say anything now. He is not a bad person and is also my savior. It's just that his heart is too fickle. "Susu sighed.
