The situation of today's battle must soon spread to the capital. It can be said that these few families have failed to achieve an inch. On the contrary, they have lost more than two hundred elites of the family, and dragged down dozens of defenders of Qingyang Pass to death needlessly. As for the opponent, everyone rescued Beining Pass, where the battle was the worst, without any injuries, and the soldiers and civilians of the entire pass fought against each other. Comparing the two, even they themselves were ashamed, and the elders in the capital also lost face.
"Why don't we just make peace with Mu Hanyan? Our eight aristocratic families work together to defend the two barriers, and the chances of winning are better." Fang Zihe, the young master of the Fang family, said tentatively.
Today, He Qingzong's and others' sword pet really opened his eyes, and he was so envious, remembering that when he was obsessed with Tantaixuan, he wanted to slap himself hard twice.
"No, it's no fun on the battlefield. We fought side by side all the way, and we protected each other life and death. If we break up now, it will be a mess. What can we use to compete with the beasts?" Tan Taixuan said. Then Fang Zihe's proposal was rejected.
He had uttered a lot of cruel words at the beginning, if he compromised with Mu Hanyan like this, where would he lose face as a dignified deacon of the imperial court
Fang Zihe was so angry that he almost yelled, and his utter devotion to life and death, if it hadn't been for Mu Hanyan's supernatural power just now, scaring the group of strange beasts to flee, many of them would have fled long ago, and would have been scattered in the sand , Aren't they just a mass of loose sand now
Facing Tantai Xuan's obscenity, he still didn't dare to persevere, but turned his head away quietly with a look of contempt on his face.
"Master Tantai is right. Our five great families have been protecting each other through life and death along the way. If we break up, it will not be good for the battle situation. Besides, even if we bow our heads to Mu Hanyan, she may not accept it. Accept, it is different from He Yanzhang's family, and they can't take advantage of it. Instead of doing this, it's better to put aside our differences and work together to let everyone see the true abilities of our five great families." Changsun Yi'an didn't know where to find it. Broken fan, talking while shaking, a dog-headed military division with Zhizhu in his hands.
"Young Master Changsun is right. Mu Hanyan is arrogant and indulgent. She has always ignored us and the aristocratic families. We must not turn heads with her." Mo Yanhong also echoed. He had the deepest conflict with Mu Hanyan. He knew that if he took refuge in Mu Hanyan, it would be even more impossible for him to be the head of the family, and he was even more determined to jump up and down.
"Then listen to Young Master Changsun and Young Master Tantai. The overall situation is still undecided, and there will inevitably be a lot of hard battles to come. Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. If we work together, we may not lose to them." Tantaixuan made the final decision.
Fang Zihe looked at the stubborn Tan Taixuan and Changsun Yi'an, and had nothing to say, but heaved a long sigh.
In the following days, just as Mu Hanyan expected, the alien beasts did not give up. Almost every day, a large number of alien beasts poured out of the Longyan Mountains, frantically attacking Beining Pass and Qingyang Pass, and even took advantage of the two passes. Strictly guard against the opportunity to attack Luoan City.
However, the strength of these strange beasts has not changed much. Except for a few strongmen who are comparable to the ninth-level sword masters, most of them are only equivalent to the strength of low-level sword masters, or high-level swordsmen.
Several catapults at Beining Pass have been repaired and are barely usable. Of course, it doesn’t matter if there are no such catapults. Throwing it down heavily, the power is not much worse than that of a trebuchet.
Most of the strange beasts only rushed halfway before they were smashed into a pulp by the boulder. A lucky few rushed to the pass, but what greeted them was a group of military elites in full body armor, and a group of elites from aristocratic families who rode sword pets with their teeth and claws outstretched.
After throwing down the cold corpses of countless companions, the strange beasts returned without success again and again, and the cheers of the soldiers and the common people resounded again and again from the gate of Beining Pass.
In contrast, Qingyang Pass on the opposite side is much more difficult to guard. They don't have the scarlet cloud and golden armored elephants that can be used as catapults, and the children of the aristocratic families don't have sword pets to defend themselves. It's like a group of gangsters fighting on their own, stealing rape, playing cunning and pretending to be wounded and dead is one after another.
Even so, after days of fierce fighting, more than 200 elite children from the five great aristocratic families died tragically on the battlefield. If it weren't for those experienced and bloody guards, Qingyang Pass would have been captured by strange beasts a long time ago. .
The golden afterglow gradually sprinkled over the earth, night fell again, and the day's offense and defense came to an end.
"Oh, I wish I had known that I followed Young Master Mu back then, so I don't have to be so useless." After Qingyang closed, a child from an aristocratic family who just got up from the corpse of a strange beast sighed and said.
"I think so too, but it's a pity that the young master insists on going his own way and insists on following Tantai Xuan, what can we do." Another disciple of the aristocratic family also climbed out.
Seeing that there are other people who are as smart and wise as him, the previous person was slightly taken aback, then looked at each other with a wry smile.
As the elite descendants of major families, they also have their pride, and they are at the age of youth, and they also want to make contributions and be famous in history. But there is no way, the people around him are like this, and they are not willing to die for nothing.
Not to mention them, even the young masters of the various families killed the enemy bravely on the surface, but in fact, their eyes were wandering during the battle, looking for a way out at any time, so how could they blame them for being greedy for life and afraid of death.
On the opposite side, a beautiful yet heroic figure walked up to the top of the wall, and the two children of the aristocratic family immediately straightened their backs.
These days, Mu Hanyan took the lead and defended Beining Pass with others. Everyone was impressed by his fearless figure, and they were no exception.
Mu Hanyan nodded to them. Although she didn't like Tantaixuan and those young masters, she had no malice towards the children of other families, and she also had full respect for those brave and fearless children of the family.
Seeing Mu Hanyan saluting themselves, the two blushed, ashamed of their previous cowardly behavior.
"It's getting late, go back and rest early, there should be a hard fight tomorrow, protect yourself, and return to the capital alive." Mu Hanyan said softly.
Tears rolled down the cheeks of the two, because they were ashamed and moved.
They were in a daze and couldn't remember how they walked down the city wall, but at the moment they walked down the city wall, they made a decision that they would never regret: from then on, they would never be cowards, never again. They will lie in the pile of dead bodies and pretend to be dead. They will use the sword in their hands and blood to maintain their dignity, and will never let anyone look down on them. Words of encouragement.
