The Path of the Sage

Chapter 2020: The Holy House gave up

Views:

The entire barbarian camp was mobilized, with every million troops forming a barbarian legion, distributed throughout the camp.

The 300,000 Wolf Saint Army, which has not officially appeared in these days, is also ready to go.

During the three-day siege, the barbarian kings did not take any action.

But now, the demon kings flew into the sky, some high and some low, and each one looked like a small floating fortress standing under the blue sky, which was frightening.

On the walls of Ning'an, scholars from all over the place discovered the unusual movements of the barbarians.

"All great scholars and all university ministers who did not participate in the war, come and discuss the matter." Fang Yun stood on the city wall, commanding millions of troops and giving orders.

Soon, many great scholars and university officials from Ning'an City came.

Compared with the first day, there are fifteen more university scholars and two great Confucian scholars. The total number of great Confucian scholars is more than forty, and the total number of university scholars is more than one hundred. It can be said to be the strongest human lineup in Shengyuan Continent in the past hundred years.

However, more than half of the great scholars and university scholars in Ning'an City had just been promoted, and in terms of overall strength they were far from being comparable to the veteran great scholars and university scholars in Liangjie Mountain.

After everyone arrived, Fang Yun continued to command the army to fight, and said: "The barbarians used three days to find out the strength of my Ning'an City, and at the same time made my army gradually tired. If nothing unexpected happens, once night falls, they will launch a full-scale attack. The winner will definitely be decided within three days. What do you think?"

Liu Shan suddenly spoke first, saying, "This battle is bound to be a failure. I think it would be better for the entire army to return south and defend Yuyang Pass before the barbarians complete their preparations."

"In my Jing State, we have a left prime minister who was defeated without a fight, but we have no soldiers who retreat without a fight." Zhang Poyue responded harshly.

"Reckless! Humans are smart, and the barbarians are not stupid either. Especially today, the number of barbarians killed and wounded by our army is only 80% of that on the first day. This shows that the barbarians have become familiar with Fang Xusheng's command and found the flaws." Liu Shan said.

Zhou Junhu rolled his eyes at Liu Shan and said, "Prime Minister Liu, don't lie. The reason why our army killed fewer barbarians today is that our army is tired and the number of barbarians attacking the city has decreased, so the team has become sparse. It is normal to reduce the number of enemies killed by 20%. If it is a matter of miscellaneous matters, we are naturally not as good as you, but now it is a matter of military affairs, so you'd better say less to avoid being laughed at."

Liu Shan countered: "General Zhou, do you think the barbarians have not made any progress?"

Zhou Junhu said: "I have not denied the progress of the barbarians. After all, they have two rebels in command. But this is not the most important reason."

"I actually forgot that those two rebels are also military strategists, right?" Liu Shan asked.

Zhang Poyue added: "I don't know what they were before they rebelled, but now they must be practicing military science. After all, even the monsters know the importance of military science and can help the monsters defeat the human race. However, among the human race, there are some people who do not practice military science but show off their power on the battlefield, denying Fang Yun's achievements. They are not even as good as the monsters!"

The rest of the soldiers' family members stared at Liu Shan, ready to fight back at any time.

Liu Shan smiled and said, "Saint Fang Xu asked us what suggestions we had. I just said it casually. After all... the chance of defending Ning'an is less than 10%. I would like to ask you military strategists, if Ning'an is destroyed, millions of soldiers and civilians die, and we retreat to Yuyang Pass in a panic... No, Yuyang Pass will definitely not be able to be defended at that time, and will collapse at the first touch. When we return to the capital, who will bear the responsibility for the defeat? The fate of the country?"

"I will take responsibility!" Zhang Poyue accepted it without hesitation.

Many people suddenly realized that Liu Shan was certain that Ning'an would be captured, so he pointed his sword at Fang Yun, but Zhang Poyue blocked it for Fang Yun.

"You don't deserve it!" Liu Shan said these three words without any worldly air, yet the aura of a prime minister was fully revealed.

Jiang Hechuan sneered and said, "Liu Shan, Ning'an City is no longer the Ning'an of the past. Many holy academies have set up pilot projects here. Moreover, the passage between the two worlds is nearby, and the holy academy will definitely defend it."

"The passage between the two worlds? The passage between the two worlds was supposed to be opened this year, but when Fang Xusheng went to the Shihan Ancient Land, the passage between the two worlds was suddenly interrupted. Now I don't know how long it will take to reopen it. It is better to move to another place, such as Shengyuan or Kongcheng. As for the pilot project, I think it would be a good place to move to Baling in Xiangzhou. Anyway, it is under the jurisdiction of Fang Xusheng. The so-called Shengyuan's life-saving is groundless and just a rumor." Liu Shan expressed himself with ease, as if he had the overall situation in his hands, and was much more calm than before.

Many people looked at each other. Obviously, no one knew the reason for Liu Shan's change.

Some people looked at Fang Yun. Fang Yun frowned slightly and shook his head gently to some friends. He didn't know what had happened in the past two days.

However, Fang Yun soon realized that Liu Shan would not lie at this time, which meant that the Holy Academy would never let Bao Ning'an die.

Liu Shan suddenly smiled and said, "Logically speaking, Fang Xusheng is in Ning'an, the Queen Mother is leading the army in person, and the entire human race is helping. The Holy Academy will definitely take care of the emotions of the people of the human race. After all, Jingguo is resisting foreign humiliation. Unfortunately, I heard that the Zong family and the East Holy Pavilion strongly opposed it. The descendants of the Zong family and the princess of the Dragon Clan are still alive, so the Holy Academy should not help Ning'an City. Therefore, the Holy Academy has actually given up its assistance."

"I don't believe it!" Zhou Junhu said angrily.

"Whether you believe it or not, the day Ning'an takes over the city will be the day you escape."

Fang Yun said: "The death of the traitor of the clan and the rebellion of the dragon clan cannot make the Holy Academy give up rescuing Ning An, but I have probably guessed the reason."

Many scholars pondered Fang Yun's words carefully, and some scholars who were on good terms with him discussed it secretly.

"Generally speaking, if it is not necessary, Fang Xusheng does not call himself 'this Saint'. It seems that this matter is quite unusual."

"The status of the Zong family's East Saint Pavilion envoy and the Dragon Princess is basically the same as that of the top Confucian scholars. Even their deaths are just 'trivial' words. The power that can stop the Saint Academy is about to emerge."

"That person seemed to want to issue a decree last time, but was blocked halfway. Is he seeking revenge now?"

"It makes sense to think so, but using the word 'revenge' is a bit disrespectful to that person. He would not do such a thing. Since Fang Xusheng said he guessed it, but not sure, it can't be revenge. It is most likely an exchange."

"I think I understand. That time, the leader... ahem, stopped the oracle midway and must have put forward a condition. Maybe the condition was not to save Ning An?"

"It's very likely, but there are other possibilities."

Soon, people began to speculate on several reasons, all pointing to Zongsheng.

After all, Ning'an is not Kongcheng, nor is it the capital of Jingguo. It is a favor for the Holy Academy to save them, and it is their duty not to save them. Otherwise, in the future, whenever any human race is attacked by barbarians, the Holy Academy will have to provide assistance.

The air seemed to freeze, especially those scholars with low literary status, who looked frustrated. They believed that with the Holy Academy, they would not die here, but now the Holy Academy had given up, and if the monsters broke into the city, those great scholars or university scholars could escape, but the scholars who had not risen to prominence could only fight to the death.

Many scholars were not afraid of being killed by the monsters, but they felt abandoned by the Holy Academy, deceived, or even betrayed, and felt bad.

Jiang Hechuan sighed helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about how to resist the barbarian offensive first."
