The Flame Demon Tribe!
Lan Ling stood on the tall city wall. More than forty thousand people stood densely below, all of whom were the people of the Flame Devil Tribe.
Everyone had heard Nai Shu's declaration of war.
Hand over Lan Ling's head within a month. Otherwise, the entire Flame Demon Tribe would be slaughtered to the last man standing!
From then on, the 40,000 people of the Flame Demon Tribe were all on tenterhooks!
Lan Ling's mentality was very dark. He naturally knew that handing over Lan Ling's head within a month was just a provocation.
Even if the Flame Demon Tribe handed over Lan Ling's head, he would still annihilate the Flame Demon Tribe and kill every single one of them. Gathering a 100,000 strong army from a dozen tribes would require a month's time.
He instinctively felt that there would be people in the tribe who would be tempted to hand over Lan Ling's head in exchange for their lives.
But he was worrying too much …
At least, there were no such voices at the moment.
Because the people of the Flame Demon Tribe had all suffered. Whether it was their behavior or their mentality, they were very mature. They wouldn't be so easily fooled.
However, they had finally found a place to reside. Seeing that they were about to be annihilated, they would definitely be terrified and panicked. They might not even have the heart to build.
The 40,000 people's eyes were fixed on Lan Ling.
They hoped to hear one sentence from Lan Ling's mouth. What 100,000 strong army? What Nai Shu? Just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. They would definitely win this battle.
Their chief, Lan Ling, had created many miracles. So, they hoped that their chief could create another one.
Looking at the countless gazes, Lan Ling gradually calmed down.
He felt responsibility and a heavy burden!
These people were his seeds, his people. They were the power he would use to slaughter his way into the human kingdom in the future. They were the power he would use to take revenge. They were the power he would use to liberate the entire world.
At such a time, the role of a leader was unparalleled. He could unite the hearts of the people and boost morale.
Right now, Lan Ling was the pillar of the Flame Demon Tribe's forty thousand-odd people, a stabilizing force!
Taking a deep breath, Lan Ling said, "A few months ago, when Constantine's thirty thousand allied army surrounded the Flame Imp Tribe, we only had a mere thousand people. Everyone thought that we would definitely die, that we would definitely lose. I told him that I didn't care about this battle at all. What I cared about was the second battle. Now, the second battle had arrived! You're a little later than I expected! "
This sentence wasn't funny at all, but the people of the Flame Demon Tribe below still laughed out loud.
Lan Ling knew that the whole tribe was filled with depression and uneasiness. Everyone was trying everything they could to find confidence and to relax.
Lan Ling said, "The second battle was completely within my plans! In a month, a hundred and ten thousand strong army will attack our Flame Demon Tribe, and during this period of time, the number of human brothers coming to seek refuge will be fewer and fewer, because our Flame Demon Tribe has already become a dangerous place! "
As soon as he said that, someone below immediately said, "Then after we win, we won't accept them anymore."
These were words spoken out of anger.
Lan Ling said, "I really want to tell you that this battle will definitely be won. This hundred and ten thousand strong army is nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs. But … I can't say that! "
"Because we no longer have the Mirror Demon King's trap. We have to completely rely on ourselves!" Lan Ling said, "So, whether we can win or not, to a large extent, doesn't depend on me, but on you!"
"You want to hear me say that this battle will definitely be won. Sorry, I can't give you such a guarantee," Lan Ling said calmly.
As soon as he said that, the entire atmosphere became tense.
All the Flame Demon Tribe brothers became dejected. Perhaps in their hearts, Lan Ling had really become a god, the incarnation of miracles.
"I can't give you the confidence to definitely win, but …" Lan Ling said, "I can guarantee that if I have to die, I will die with everyone. My wife, my uncle, my family, they will die with everyone. That's all!"
This sentence was very quiet, and not loud.
But it seemed like everyone's hearts had instantly calmed down.
Yes …
At worst, they would just die!
In the past, everyone had lived a life worse than death. After so much difficulty, they had finally found a home and a place to rely on. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?
Lan Ling said, "Death isn't scary. What's scary is a worthless death! If they die to protect their home, to protect their tribe, then their death will be heavier than the Mirror Mountain, heavier than the Hundred Thousand Mountains. "
"I order that from now on, the Flame Demon Tribe enter the first level of combat readiness. Everything is to make way for the battle in a month." Lan Ling said loudly, "Use all your strength to build fortifications, train soldiers, and forge weapons. A month later, fight to the death with a hundred and ten thousand enemies! "
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Tens of thousands of people roared at the same time!
Yes, compared to the precarious days before, they were living in heaven now.
Since they were living in heaven, they had to pay the price. Without paying the price in blood, what right did they have to enjoy such happiness?
"How can a land that hasn't been watered with blood be called our land?"
"How can a home that hasn't been protected with life be called our home?"
"At worst, we'll just die!"
Lan Ling walked back and forth on the city walls, almost roaring, "In this month, if anyone wants to leave, I definitely won't stop them. But those who leave can forget about coming back after the battle. "
"I don't care how many people leave, but even if it's just me, my uncle, my wife, and my daughter, the four of us will defend the Flame Demon Tribe. Even if I die, I want to die in the Flame Demon Tribe, and I want to die in my home! "
Even if they were to die, they wanted to die in their home.
This sentence directly touched everyone's heart, almost making them burst into tears.
For a very, very long time, they had been in exile, drifting, without a home.
But now, they had a home!
Even if it was a dog, if it felt that it was about to die, it would return home and die.
Not to mention a person with intelligence and feelings!
Even if they were to die, they wanted to die in their home!
"Build, fight, die!" Lan Ling roared loudly, "From now on, there will only be these three words in this month."
"Build, fight, die!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Everyone cheered wildly!
…
The entire Flame Demon Tribe entered an even more frenzied construction frenzy.
The city walls, which were already very fast to begin with, became even faster. Close to 20,000 people participated in the construction of the city walls.
The seven-kilometer-long earth wall had already been built, and the next step was to stick giant stone strips on it.
More than 10,000 soldiers in the tribe practiced their saber, archery, and stamina almost crazily.
More than 1,000 carpenters worked day and night to build catapults and giant crossbows.
Hundreds of blacksmiths forged armor, weapons, and arrows day and night.
Previously, Lan Ling faced a choice.
That was to improve his martial arts first, or to improve the tribe's combat strength first.
Now, there seemed to be an answer.
He had to first win the battle in a month. This was the first task.
To kill, he had to first defeat the Silver Alliance's army of a hundred thousand.
"Mirror, where is the Ghost King's tomb?" Lan Ling asked.
The Mirror Demon King said, "Sorry, Master, I can only give a rough range, within a few hundred thousand kilometers of the Sea of Misfortune!"
"Sea of Misfortune?" Lan Ling was puzzled.
"This is an inland sea, fifteen thousand kilometers away from the Flame Demon Tribe." The Mirror Demon King said, "I roughly deduced it according to the vision of the Ghost King's Eye."
Lan Ling said, "Mirror, according to your spiritual practice, what are our chances of winning the battle in a month?"
"Twenty percent!" The Mirror Demon King said, "Because there are too many enemies, and the entire tribe only has you as their trump card. Of course, there are giant catapults and giant crossbows. But … there are hundreds of thousands of enemies. Once they reach the city walls, it means that they will be breached and destroyed. "
Lan Ling agreed with this deduction.
There were too many enemies, and the individual combat strength of the soldiers surpassed the Flame Demon Tribe.
One hundred and ten thousand versus fifteen thousand!
Even with the catapults, giant crossbows, and city walls, they would basically lose without a doubt.
This city wall was already tall enough, more than nine meters tall. However, the soldiers of the Barbarian Tribe were too valiant and fearless.
"Master, we must find reinforcements." The Mirror Demon King said, "Go find the Centaur Tribe. We don't need many, just five thousand Centaur Cavalry will be enough to reverse the situation!"
The Centaur Cavalry was the absolute trump card on land.
Their speed, strength, and archery were all at a crushing level.
Once the battle began, five thousand Centaur Cavalrymen would be able to break through thirty to forty thousand enemy troops.
However, the Centaur Cavalry was a very eccentric and arrogant race. They could not even tolerate their own people and constantly fought amongst themselves, not to mention relying on a tribe that was close to the human race.
Any Centaur was extremely stubborn.
And the Centaur Khan was even more stubborn and arrogant to the extreme. There was no room for negotiation.
The Mirror Devil King said, "Four thousand and seven hundred miles southwest of the Flame Devil Tribe, there is a large centaur tribe. Their Khagan is called Xie Li, and they are the largest centaur tribe within a radius of ten thousand miles. They have a total of eight thousand centaur cavalry. If we can get this Centaur Tribe to join the battle, we will definitely win! "
… …
Back to two years ago, the capital of the Dongli Kingdom had left the capital.
Ashita Liren could not believe her ears.
The Crown Prince Jiang Li actually rejected her request to rely on him. Even though she rejected his love, she had always treated him as her own brother.
She had always treated the Dongli Palace as her home.
But now, Jiang Li actually refused to protect her, Zhi Ning, and her son.
Jiang Li's expression became a little unnatural. He looked to the side and said, "The envoy from the Dragon Temple has already come to the capital. Zhi Ning is the concubine of the Demon Emperor Søren. Zhi Yu is the flesh and blood of the Demon Emperor Søren. They are the common enemy of the entire human race. Once I take in Zhi Ning and her son, I will become the enemy of the entire human race and the Dragon Temple! "
There was silence in the palace.
The Crown Prince Jiang Li gritted his teeth and said, "Liren Shimei, have you ever had a relationship with Søren?"
Ashita Liren did not answer. She only looked at the Crown Prince Jiang Li quietly.
"That means there's no more. Then you're not Sauron's woman." Jiang Li said, "You can stay. The East Li Kingdom can protect you! But not Zhi Ning and her son! "
Zhi Ning smiled at Ashita Liren and said, "Sister Liren, you should stay. You have done your best for us."
"Shut up, Zhi Ning!" Ashita Liren scolded.
Princess Zhi Ning immediately shut up.
Ashita Liren stared coldly at the Crown Prince Jiang Li and shook her head. "I am Søren's woman. So I don't need to stay."
Then, she said to Zhi Ning and Fang Qingzhuo, "Let's go!"
Just like that, Ashita Liren brought Zhi Ning and her son, as well as Fang Qingzhuo and her daughter, out of the Dongli Palace.
She had no direction and did not know where to go.
Even the Dongli Kingdom did not dare to take them in. Where would they find a safe place to stay in the vast world?
…
The Headless Horseman entered the desert and searched day after day.
He was looking for the Prince Lan Tu of the Yelan Principality!
In order to save Ashita Liren's Rouran City, Søren murdered the monarch of the Yelan Principality, the Grand Duke Lan Shi.
At that time, Prince Lan Tu led 300,000 troops to surround the Rouran City and was about to win the war of national humiliation.
In the end, after the death of Grand Duke Lan Shi, there was a drastic change in the kingdom.
Under the conspiracy of the Lan Du Dragon Temple and the monarch's concubine, Princess Ji Hui, Prince Lan Tu's younger brother, Marquis Snow, Lan Ye, ascended the throne and became the new monarch of the Yelan Principality.
As a result, Prince Lan Tu's previous efforts in the Rouran War were in vain. He led 200,000 troops back to the kingdom to fight for the monarch's position.
However …
After all, the righteousness in him was too strong. He was not as shameless as his younger brother, Lan Ye.
When it came to foreign wars, he could be ruthless.
But in civil wars, he was still a noble warrior in his bones.
Lan Ye and his mother, Princess Ji Hui, did extremely shameless things. They used the families of Lan Tu's soldiers as hostages so that Lan Tu's army did not dare to attack the city. They also used Lan Tu's wife and children as hostages.
Under this series of sinister schemes, even if Lan Tu had an army of more than two hundred thousand, he was still restrained in the battle, fearful of the slightest thing.
In the end, Lan Tu lost!
He was not willing to give up. He led thousands of loyal subordinates into the desert and went to the Western Liang Kingdom to borrow soldiers. Because his mother was the eldest princess of the Western Liang Kingdom.
He was ambitious and wanted to make a comeback.
However, as soon as he entered the desert, he was immediately attacked by the army sent by Lan Ye, the secret army of the Yan Empire, and even the secret army of the Lan Du Dragon Temple.
In the end, the last few thousand soldiers around him were all killed.
Lan Tu wasn't captured. His subordinates risked their lives to bring up the rear, allowing him to escape and enter a desert underground city.
In the end, he was the only one who survived!
His father, mother, wife, and children were all dead.
His only sister, Lan Yin, probably had no way to survive in the Dragon Temple. The Yan Empire would never allow her to live.
Prince Lan Tu, who had lost all hope, pulled out his sword and killed himself!
…
After searching for half a month.
The Headless Horseman finally found Prince Lan Tu's body in an underground city. It had long been dried.
"Hehe, only after dying can you be considered a real Hell Knight!" The Headless Horseman said.
Then, he took out a bottle of Ancient Demon King's blood and poured it into Prince Lan Tu's body. He said slowly, "Resurrect, my Hell Knight brother. His Majesty the Demon King has summoned us."
