Chapter 312 Despair
Chapter 312 Despair
If it were anyone else with the strength of a Martial Emperor, they would have killed him directly to avoid trouble, and would not have captured or imprisoned him.
Only Chen Xuan is so boring.
The dignified Martial Emperor only does things that bully others.
Chen Xuan had no way to explain this to her. Besides, he couldn't offend this woman now, and her favorability was still negative, so he could only laugh dryly.
"Your Majesty, you are going to Zhenbei Pass next to quell the Di Kingdom's invasion, right?"
At this time, the leader of the Tianshan Sect suddenly spoke.
"Ah."
The empress nodded slightly.
The headmaster quickly said, "Your Majesty, although our Tianshan Sect is not strong, we are willing to make a small contribution to our Daqian Empire!"
When I was in the sect before, I was always hesitant.
But now, they have three Martial Emperors on their side, and the Empress has even led the army in person!
He must show his loyalty!
Hearing this, the empress looked at him deeply.
How could the empress not know what he was thinking?
The imperial court issued repeated orders for the Tianshan Sect to support Zhenxi Pass, but the Tianshan Sect did not take any action.
Do you know which side to stand on now?
However, the empress did not refuse and said calmly: "Then send some people."
Everything is for the overall situation!
This time, they wanted to capture the king first, so they asked Chen Xuan to capture the Emperor Di and the Ghost Emperor of Di Kingdom.
However, the Di Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops are still there, and they are always a potential threat to the 24 border cities.
If the Tianshan Sect takes action, it can stop thousands of troops.
Therefore, although she knew what the leader of the Tianshan Sect was thinking and knew that he was a fence-sitter, the empress did not care as long as the Tianshan Sect could serve the court.
"I will go back to the sect and gather the disciples. We will defend Zhenxi Pass to the death!"
The leader of the Tianshan Sect spoke in a firm tone, and soon he took everyone from the Tianshan Sect away.
Chen Xuan and his men rushed to Zhenxi Pass without stopping.
Zhenxi Pass is located twenty miles ahead of Longcheng. It is a tall city wall that stretches between two mountains.
It can be said that this is the lifeline of the twenty-four border cities!
As long as we take over Zhenxi Pass, the next step will be to march straight to Longcheng and Hucheng, until we sweep across the entire border!
Therefore, this level is particularly important!
At this time, the entire area outside the Zhenxi Pass was covered with dark clouds, and the city was pressing down with black clouds!
The strange thing is that inside Zhenxi Pass, the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly!
There is only a pass between us, but it feels like we are in two different worlds!
Outside the pass, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Di State were stationed here.
Each of them was covered in animal skins.
The people of Di Kingdom did not like Daqian's knitted clothes. In comparison, they preferred the furs of primitive animals. They felt that wearing the furs of these monsters gave them a greater sense of accomplishment!
Moreover, the people of Di State never eat cooked food. They eat raw meat and drink blood, and believe that the freshest flesh and blood are the most delicious ingredients.
"General, the Di Kingdom's army of hundreds of thousands has assembled and has begun beating drums and blowing trumpets to boost morale. I'm afraid it won't be long before they launch another round of attacks against us."
"The Di Kingdom has Emperor Di in charge, and that damned Ghost Emperor has unleashed a soul-devouring formation that has caused immense trouble for our soldiers."
"Now that the prince is not at the border, and we don't have any martial arts masters here, the entire army is in a panic!"
On the top of the Zhenxi Pass city wall, a deputy general spoke to a main general with a grim expression.
"The disparity in strength between us and the enemy is too great. If this continues, we won't be able to hold out for much longer and will have to retreat to Dragon City!"
"Once we lose Zhenxi Pass, even if we retreat to Longcheng, it will only take a few days for Longcheng to fall!"
"What on earth is the imperial court thinking? Why aren't they sending troops to aid us?"
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief defending the city felt extremely heavy in his heart.
He is the trusted subordinate of the King of Zhenxi, a top-level warrior at the eighth level of Martial King.
However, with the Di Kingdom mobilizing all its strength, his eighth-level Martial King was simply not enough!
"Woo-"
At this moment, the army of Di State blew the horn again, and the sound came directly here.
"Woooooo~"
At the same time, in addition to the sound of the horn, dark clouds were gathering outside the pass. It was visible to the naked eye that the black clouds were rapidly expanding and even covered the city walls. In an instant, they blocked out the sky and the sun!
Immediately afterwards, sand and rocks flew, and there were sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling. At the same time, there were also men's roars, women's sobs, and children's cries.
Various sounds came one after another, making the whole world seem as if it had fallen into doomsday.
"It's the Ghost Emperor. This damned ghost thing, after devouring the souls of countless soldiers from us and the Di Kingdom, his soul-devouring formation has become more and more terrifying and has already spread to the interior of the pass!"
"General, how about we write a letter and ask the Empress to lead the army in person?"
"Without a Martial Emperor master, we simply can't hold on!"
"Yes, General, please ask the Empress to lead the army in person!"
Several deputy generals around spoke pleadingly.
However, the commander's face looked extremely ugly.
Ask the Empress to lead the army in person?
This is the big crime of beheading!
The emperor can lead the army in person, but it must be if he wants to.
What would happen if his subordinates asked him to lead the army in person?
How can I, the emperor, listen to a servant like you?
Therefore, the deputy generals' request made him very embarrassed.
"Even if the Empress is unwilling to lead the army in person, the Prince of Zhenxi must come back to take charge of the situation!"
"You can't just watch so many of our brothers die in vain, right?"
Seeing the commander's embarrassment, the deputy generals knew that the possibility of the empress leading the army in person was very slim, so they had to find another way.
The commander said lightly and gave a wry smile.
Given the current situation, they have almost no chance of winning.
Will the King of Zhenxi come back?
Come back to die?
I'm afraid that all of them will be wiped out and killed here this time.
They have no choice and no way out!
Because if you retreat, you will be a deserter. If you are not killed by the people of Di State, you will be hunted down by Daqian. Deserters will definitely die, and their families will also be implicated!
If you don't retreat, you will die for your country, and your family will receive some silver from the court as compensation.
It’s death anyway!
They have no way to survive!
Seeing the commander's wry smile, the deputy commanders and other soldiers around him fell silent in an instant.
They seemed to see their own future fate.
Death is calling them.
Their lives have entered the countdown!
call out!
At this time, a sword energy cut through the dark clouds above the sky, like a bright meteor streaking across the sky and descending towards the top of Zhenxi Pass.
"That is……"
"What a strong sword energy!"
"That sword seems to be the sword of the Snow Sword Sect?"
"What's going on? Is the Snow Sword Sect coming to help us defend the city?"
Countless soldiers were extremely stunned and shocked!
