The seven countries attacked the Thirteen States of Yanglin in batches. One side was united in purpose, while the other side was distracted and had its own plans. So the result of the battle was self-evident. But for the sake of their reputation, they continued to send soldiers to die.
On the city wall, Dugu Yingcheng's eyes were dim as he looked at the fallen bodies below the city wall, feeling sad.
They are also living beings, and they serve in the army and fight to defend their country. But now they have to pay for the greed of the monarch and give up their most precious things... Sorry...
At the same time, he also felt sincerely fortunate for himself because he supported a selfless king.
"Emperor Kills the Sky!"
The first thing the man in black did after escaping was to go to the cell to look for Di Shitian. So many things had happened before that he had no time to think about them, but after escaping, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
I had clearly sent someone to bring Emperor Shi Tian over before the negotiation with Lonely Studios, but why didn't he arrive for so long? Also, Dugu Studios's behavior today was too strange. It seemed that he was not trying to gain power for himself. It was more like...
Looking at the bodies of the jailers lying outside the cell, it seemed that all the previous doubts had been answered. But he still didn't believe it. Emperor Shitian had been poisoned by the spirit world's soft muscle powder, how could he escape. Besides, no one knew where he was imprisoned except him. Even Omi Makino, who had given him advice, repeatedly asked him to meet Emperor Shitian, but he refused.
But looking at the empty water prison, looking at the chains that had been broken for who knows how long, looking at the water surface without even a ripple, he couldn't help but believe it.
"No, no, how is this possible, how could Emperor Shi Tian escape!" The man in black's eyes widened, his expression as if he was frightened, his hands hidden under his robe trembled slightly, and it was unclear whether he was angry or hated.
The empty water dungeon echoed with his long voice. There was no other sound, and no one could answer him. But at this point, did he still need someone to answer him? He had been fooled by Di Shitian and Dugu Yingcheng from the beginning!
With his fists clenched, he raised his head slightly and shouted to the sky, "Dugu Yingcheng, Di Shitian, just wait for me. I will tear you into pieces!"
The voice was deep and rich with spiritual energy. The originally calm surface of the water prison exploded into countless splashes due to the pressure of external force, and the figure of the man in black was blurred.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two sides stopped fighting and rested. In the suburbs, the occasional chirping of birds and insects could be heard, silently telling of the silence of the night.
Under the cover of night, a black figure tumbled and leaped into Dongling's camp. Then, a team of soldiers holding torches quietly arrived, silently killed the Dongling guards, and surrounded the Dongling royal tent.
Suddenly the lights in the tent were bright, and Emperor Dongling, who had been resting, immediately stood up when he heard the noise outside.
"What are you trying to do, people from Nanling, by leading your troops into the Dongling camp so late at night?" Seeing that it was General Nanling in the tent, the Emperor of Dongling glared at him.
Although his tone was fierce, General Nanling did not show the slightest fear.
"You are so insolent! How dare you not answer my question?" Over the years, Dongling's sense of superiority over Nanling has become natural, and it will be expressed unconsciously. In the heart of the Emperor of Dongling, Nanling should be humble and low-key in front of them. So let alone a small Nanling general, even if the person standing in front of him is the Emperor of Nanling, he is still not afraid.
"Emperor Dongling, this general has been ordered to catch the assassin." Listening to Emperor Dongling's arrogant voice as always and looking at his attitude which must have been even more arrogant than yesterday, General Nanling curled his lips into a sneer.
"Assassin? How did you, Nanling, catch the assassin in my imperial tent? Aren't you afraid that I will hold your Emperor Nanling accountable?" Emperor Nanling, wearing a yellow robe, sat straight on the chair with a firm attitude.
"Oh! To accuse me? Emperor Dongling, you really don't understand the situation." These words instantly gave Emperor Dongling a bad feeling.
"Emperor Dongling, do you think your Dongling is still the same Dongling as before? You really don't know what you are talking about." The tone of his voice gradually changed, from a smile at the beginning to gloomy.
"Someone, come here! The Emperor of Dongling sent an assassin to assassinate the Emperor of Nanling with ill intentions, and he also obstructed Nanling from capturing the assassin and taking down the Emperor of Dongling!"
"You, you, what do you want to do? Don't come over here! What do you want to do? I am the king of a country, the king of Dongling, how can you touch me? You are so presumptuous, so presumptuous!" Looking at the soldiers who had already walked forward, the Emperor of Dongling retreated tremblingly while trying to speak. But now the overall situation has fallen into the hands of Nanling, who will listen to him
"Let me go, you are slandering me. When did I send someone to assassinate Emperor Nanling? When did I stop you from catching the assassin? Who is the assassin? Just take him away. It has nothing to do with me! Let me go! Someone, come quickly, protect the emperor!" The Emperor Dongling, who was imprisoned by the soldiers, kept twisting his body and constantly defending himself. But who would care about the truth at this time? Just like when they dealt with Tianze together, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. The truth is written by the victor.
"Protecting the emperor? Emperor Dongling, you really don't understand the situation. After all your iron army was slaughtered, do you think that your Dongling is still the same Dongling as before? Now, you still dare to be so arrogant in front of this general, you really don't know how to live or die. Emperor Dongling, listen to this general's advice, you'd better be sensible, maybe you can still save your life. Otherwise, I will report to the emperor that Emperor Dongling was mistakenly killed by the assassin when I was catching the assassin. Hmm?"
With just one sentence, the noisy Emperor Dongling suddenly calmed down. What else could he do now that things had come to this? However, he could never have imagined that Nanling would take advantage of the situation and annex Dongling. What a vicious heart this was.
When Emperor Dongling resented Nanling, he forgot that he had done the same thing. So good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, but it's just that the time has not come. As a person, you should always remember to be kind. Making things convenient for others is making things convenient for yourself. If you always do things to the extreme, then one day, you will also be at the end of your rope.
The night continues, but no one knows the crime that is happening under the cover of darkness.
Although Nanling completely controlled Dongling, he did not dare to make a big fuss. Although Dongling was not as good as Tianze, a mosquito was still meat, so he had to be on guard against other wolves coming to grab food. So the reason why he did not kill the Emperor of Dongling was to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes. After this matter was over, he would slowly eat the food they had stolen.
But things in the world are always full of coincidences and disappointments. When they took Emperor Dongling away, no one noticed that a dark shadow quietly slipped away in the dark.
The next day, before dawn, the enemy was awakened by the sound of drums, which was the sound of troops going out. After asking, they learned that Dongling was willing to lead the charge with a large number of troops to break through Tianze.
Although the emperors of various countries did not know what was going on, since someone was willing to be the first to take action, why not? So when they heard the news, they all smiled.
It's not a good idea to waste time here all the time. Apart from other things, the food and grass are a huge consumption. If the war lasts one more day, there will be less money in the treasury, and the people will have a harder life. However, they are only worried about the former.
With the vanguard, the troops of the seven countries gathered together again. This attack was different from the previous day. Even if they were powerless, the large number of people was not something Tianze could resist.
"Reporting to the city, our army can no longer hold on." In addition, they had already resisted for several days and the soldiers were exhausted. The king was also missing and the army's morale was in turmoil. The situation was very bad.
Dugu Yingcheng turned his eyes away from the sky and put on his armor. "No matter what, we must hold on and wait for the king to return."
"Yes, Prime Minister." Although it is really difficult, they are the pillars of the country and the protectors of the people. Even if they fight to the last drop of blood, they have to hold on.
Besides, the general said that we should wait for the king to come back. Their king is a god-like person, and he will definitely find a way to turn the situation around.
"Kill! Soldiers, you must hold on! The king has sent reinforcements for us. You must hold on!"
After hearing the general's words, the soldiers' morale was boosted again. The soldiers who were originally too tired to get up stood up again and rushed towards the enemy with spears in hand.
Dugu Yingcheng looked at the general meaningfully, and the general looked a little ashamed. Because the words of asking for help were just something he made up. The prime minister did tell them to wait for the king, but he didn't say that the king went to ask for help.
This was a false order, so he was a little afraid to face Dugu Yingcheng.
But I didn't expect that Dugu Yingcheng would repeat the same words later.
He knew that the king was the backbone of everyone, and he understood why the general said that.
But even he didn't know what the king was like now.
Although the king was well prepared when he met the man in black, he was still worried. According to the plan, the king should have escaped successfully by now, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that something went wrong in the plan that day, and the king was really captured
But if the king was captured, shouldn’t the man in black have used the king to threaten himself
Looking in the direction of the enemy, Dugu Yingcheng's eyes were deep. "My king, no matter where you are, I know you will come back."
After two hours of fierce fighting, Tianze's soldiers were really exhausted. In order to buy the last bit of time, the general thought of a way. He organized all the troops, rushed out the moment the city gate was opened, and then blocked the city gate. They fought a desperate battle. They hoped that the little time they bought would allow their king to come back.
Seeing the enemy troops about to break into the city, they were filled with hatred, resentment, blood and tears. They were not afraid of dying, but they were afraid that their families would be reduced to slaves from now on, living under the roof of others for generations and being bullied.
The king, their king, they are useless and can’t wait for the king to come back...
"Soldiers, are you afraid?"
“Don’t be afraid!”
"Okay, you are all the best soldiers. For our homeland, let's fight for the last time!" The general looked at his soldiers. Now, they could only use the last attack to buy the last time. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was to die. Once the city gate was opened, they had no way to retreat.
"Soldiers, charge!"
"kill!"
The soldiers shouted deafeningly, heading towards the open city gates and the ferocious enemy troops. They were willing to use their flesh and blood to build walls and shields just to fight for their last bit of self-respect.
Without a country, there is no home. This is a truth that they all understand. So they are not afraid of death. But in the face of war, life seems so fragile.
One fell, one after another, a row fell, a piece fell...
The ground was littered with corpses, and the sky was dyed red with blood. But not a single one of them retreated!
Dugu Yingcheng felt heartbroken when listening to the noise outside the city. If he didn't have a mission, he really wanted to fight with them.
They are all great, they are Tianze’s best soldiers!
Just when the army was about to be slaughtered, a deep voice echoed on the battlefield.
"How dare you!"
