Within the Xin Province, Luo Ping was moving forward at full speed under the full display of his movement technique. He had not returned home for three years and missed his family very much.
At this moment, Luo Ping's "Floating Smoke Body Technique" had already reached the fifth level, reaching the level of the master who created this body technique. He could be called a one-of-a-kind genius. It was estimated that in time, reaching the sixth level would not be a problem.
"Eh, why are there so many soldiers at the city gate? Is there some kind of battle here? "
Luo Ping was about to pass through the city gate and leave Xin Province when he saw countless soldiers gathered at the city gate. They were all wearing armor and helmets and looked heroic.
Luo Ping pulled up an old man who was passing by and asked about the situation in front of him.
Although the old man felt strange that the young man in front of him did not know why the soldiers were gathered, he still patiently explained.
"What? 'Five Nation Alliance'? 'Treasure Protection Alliance'? Sir, can you tell me in detail what's going on? "
As he spoke, he took out an ingot of silver he had just exchanged and stuffed it into the old man's hand.
Seeing that the young man had actually given such a large ingot of silver, the old man's brows immediately relaxed and he became spirited. He began to display his strength of being eloquent when he was young and recounted the events that had happened in the borderlands in the past three years with great emotion as if he was there in person.
On the other hand, Luo Ping became more and more anxious and uneasy as he listened to the old man.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, his figure disappeared with a 'whoosh'. He had already used his body technique to the limit and went straight out of the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city only saw a figure suddenly floating in front of them. When they reacted and prepared to give chase, the figure was already nowhere to be seen.
After Luo Ping left the city gate, he identified the direction of Nandan County and continued to move forward as fast as he could, unwilling to waste even a second.
"Father, the scouts just reported that the 'Five Nation Alliance' is about to launch the final general attack. It's estimated that this time, the life and death of our country will be determined."
"Yes, it's been three years. The 'Five Nation Alliance' has long lost their patience. It's expected that they will launch the general attack now. Ming Lei, Ming Shuang, immediately assemble the army and enter Level 1 combat mode. "
"Yes, Father."
"By the way, Father, it's been exactly three years now. Do you think Ping 'er will come back at this time?"
Just as Luo Mingshuang was about to leave, she suddenly thought of this question.
"Yes, that's also possible. However, there's nothing we can do if he comes back. We can only let him hide in the distant Goshawk Army like Yun Jue and the others. After all, even if we can sacrifice ourselves for the sake of defending the county yamen, we can't ignore their lives. "
Luo Haoyu's words were filled with boundless determination and sadness.
"Father is right, we can't let our Luo Clan's legacy end. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to the younger generation. Third Brother-in-law's army is indeed the best refuge. When will Yun Jue and the others go over? "
Luo Mingshuang was also unwilling to let the younger generation be involved in the war.
"Everything has been arranged. Let them leave the county yamen early tomorrow morning. As for Ping 'er, we can only wait and see. It's best if he doesn't come back. "
"Mm, that's good. Father, I'll go and gather the troops first."
Luo Mingshuang left after saying that.
Luo Haoyu stood on the city tower and looked at the five-nation alliance army in the distance. He pondered for a long time before leaving.
"No, Father, I won't leave. I want to fight side by side with Father!"
"Nonsense! You don't even listen to Father's words? Don't you know that you're defying the imperial decree? "
"I know. Even if I defy the imperial decree, I don't care. When the war is over, I'm willing to be punished."
"When the war is over? Punish you? Hahaha, hahaha, good. "
Hearing Zong Yuanhao's words, Emperor Zong Lie suddenly laughed.
"Father really gave birth to a good son. Under such circumstances, you still have the confidence to win. You didn't disappoint me. Unlike your two brothers, who betrayed the country and plotted a rebellion."
Emperor Zong Lie was furious when he finished speaking.
Although Zong Yuanhao was very dissatisfied with his two brothers' actions, they were brothers after all. Moreover, they were now grounded in the Mi State Prefecture and had to face the wall for three years. It was considered a small punishment.
"Father, how do you plan to punish my two brothers?" Zong Yuanhao asked again.
"How many times have I told you? You don't have to care about this matter. Wait until the war is over. If the war is lost, you don't have to punish them."
"Since you insist on staying, then stay. But remember, try not to put yourself in danger. Staying alive is the most important thing." Emperor Zong Lie reminded.
"Yes, Father. I'll bear that in mind."
Zong Yuanhao was elated when he heard that he could stay. He had already obeyed his father's instructions.
"The war between countries is chaotic. When the war is over, the world will change. Dark clouds will cover the sun. Light will not appear again!"
Early in the morning, the sky above the border of the three nations was covered with dark clouds. The wind was howling as if it was cheering for the war that was about to begin.
The Emperors of Xiang Country and Jinshui Country rode on their war horses and stood in front of the five-nation alliance army. They looked at each other and gave the order at the same time.
"Soldiers of the five-nation alliance, bring out your brave and fearless spirit. Charge over and destroy the enemy and take back the treasure! Charge! "
The soldiers at the back heard the order and were tempted by the treasure. Their morale was boosted and they charged forward without fear of death.
The soldiers of Fengyuan Country and the 'Treasure Protection Alliance Army' were already prepared. When they saw the enemy charging over, they also picked up their weapons and charged forward.
The soldiers of both sides were like old enemies. As soon as they met, they mercilessly killed their enemies. Blood splattered everywhere and broken limbs flew everywhere.
The soldiers had just killed an enemy. Before they could even catch their breath, their heads were chopped off by another enemy. Their souls were scattered and they died without a complete corpse.
The battlefield was in chaos. The soldiers of both sides were completely entangled in a chaotic battle. They would not stop until one side was dead.
The Emperors of Xiang Country and Jinshui Country were at the periphery of the battlefield. They watched the situation closely and sneered. They were not worried at all. It was as if victory was already in their hands.
The Emperors of the other three countries were at the back. They were expressionless and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.
Zong Lie and the other Emperors of the 'Treasure Protection Alliance Army' were also gathered together. They were paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield. Although many innocent soldiers were sacrificed, as long as they could achieve victory in the end, it was worth it.
In fact, for both sides, the number of soldiers that they put into the battlefield was basically the same. The key to victory did not lie with them. They were only used as catalysts to push the war to a new height.
The key to victory was the battle between the middle and high level combatants of both sides. In other words, the number of high level combatants and the strength of both sides.
However, it was not the time for the middle and high level combatants to enter the battlefield. They would only act when more than half of the soldiers were dead.
The several counties at the border of Fengyuan Country were also under fierce attack. In addition to a large number of soldiers, there were also many high level combatants.
It seemed that the five-nation alliance was planning to take down these counties in one go and use them as strongholds. Then, they would take advantage of the situation to destroy the enemy.
"Father, the enemy's attack is too fierce. The soldiers guarding the gate won't be able to hold on for much longer. The enemy will probably charge in soon."
Luo Mingshuang stood on the city gate tower and looked down. She was not optimistic about the current situation.
The soldiers of the five-nation alliance seemed to have gone crazy. They did not care about their own lives and attacked the city with all their might. They had already forced the soldiers in the city to defend with their lives. They were unable to counterattack. It would only take an instant for the city gate to be breached.
Luo Haoyu was also standing to the side. He saw the situation with a single glance. Hearing Luo Mingshuang's words, his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Even if we can't hold on, we have to hold on. As long as we can hold on, there will be a trace of hope on the Emperor's side.
"Gather all the soldiers and defend the city gate to death!"
Hearing that, Luo Mingshuang did not say anything and went to gather the soldiers as instructed. Luo Minglei also commanded the soldiers on the other side.
In the five-nation alliance, there were three Martial Lords below the city gate. Seeing that the city gate was still being defended by the enemy, they could no longer hold back.
Now, seeing that the enemy gathered quite a few soldiers, the three of them finally looked at each other and made a decision.
They gathered all the Martial Grand Masters and above, and after giving some orders, they all used their Qinggong. As they dodged the attacks of the city guards, they slowly flew towards the city gate tower.
In the blink of an eye, there were already quite a few high-level cultivators on the city gate tower. Once they reached the city gate tower, they attacked with lightning speed, slaughtering the city guards as if they were killing chickens.
Seeing that, Luo Haoyu immediately led the high-level cultivators in the city up to meet them, preventing the innocent deaths of the soldiers.
Within the county government, only Luo Haoyu was a Martial Lord. Although Luo Mingshuang and Luo Minglei were only Great General, their battle strength was comparable to a Martial Lord. So, the three Martial Lords were stopped by the three of them.
The other high-level cultivators also found their own opponents. Without saying anything, everything was settled in battle.
On the city gate tower was the battlefield of the high-level cultivators. Outside the city gate was the battlefield of the soldiers. Both sides, one attacking and one defending, neither giving way to the other. This continued for four to five hours …
Night fell. On the road twenty miles away from the city gate tower in front of the Nandan Province's county government, a figure was rapidly dashing. Very quickly, he arrived below the city gate tower.
There was not a single person there. Even the guards weren't there. That immediately raised the young man's suspicion.
He quickly passed through the city gate and ran towards the back. Just as he was halfway there, he heard the sounds of fighting that pierced through the clouds.
The young man was immediately shocked. He had a bad premonition. Unknowingly, he sped up a bit and without any obstructions, he arrived at the city gate tower at the back.
Under the city gate tower, there were already mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. The smell of blood permeated the air. Broken limbs blocked the road in front of him. Blades, swords, and bows were stabbed into the city walls and the ground.
Casually grabbing a soldier who was stubbornly defending inside the city gate, the young man anxiously asked about the marquis' situation.
The soldier was defending with all his strength. Suddenly, someone pulled him over. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the young man in front of him and felt that he was very familiar. After thinking for a while, his face lit up, then he became anxious again.
