As Chen Ning spoke, he retracted his combat state, and the armor of the God of War on his body also turned into golden light and converged into Chen Ning's body.

Kan Jing found that Chen Ning was injured, and Chen Ning looked extremely weak, so she hurriedly hugged Chen Ning: "Chen Ning, you are injured." ”

Chen Ning smiled bitterly: "There was a fierce battle with that old guy from Vlad, and he and I were both injured." At that time, if it weren't for the God of War Drum summoning the God of War armor in the mound of clothes, I might not have been Vlad's opponent with the help of the power of the moon. ”

Chen Ning said, and briefly described the situation at that time, and Suga and Makino were amazed to hear it.

Makino said: "The Metropolitan Governor's injuries have not healed, this place still belongs to the Black Swamp area, and it can be regarded as an enemy-controlled area, now that the Metropolitan Governor has returned safely, we have also obtained the Drum of the God of War, so retreat quickly!"

Chen Ning and Kan Jing did not hesitate, and left together, avoiding many dark warriors and zombies along the way, and finally successfully left the black swamp and headed for Xuanwu City.

When he was about thirty kilometers away from Xuanwu City, he encountered the scout team of Xuanwu City, which was the team of the Black Guard.

The Black Guard is an intelligence organization of Chen Ning's lineage, and the Black Guard scout team was naturally surprised to see Chen Ning, and hurriedly joined the escort team to escort Chen Ning back to Xuanwu City.

The closer he got to Xuanwu City, the more scouts he encountered, and when Chen Ning finally returned to the west gate of Xuanwu City, there was already an escort team of 1,000 people around him, as if it was a large army that had won the battle and returned triumphantly.

At this time, the guards of Xuanwu City, such as Tear Zongheng, Wei Qing, Lin Qingxuan, Chen Qinghua, Qin Que, Qin Yingqi, Luo Hu, and Butcher, also went out of the city to greet them with a mighty warrior.

When Wei Qing saw Chen Ning coming back, the heart that had been hanging for the past few days finally let go, and he said happily: "Metropolitan Governor, you are finally back!"

Other guards such as Lin Qingxuan and Chen Qinghua also congratulated Chen Ning on his return.

Chen Ning greeted his subordinates one by one, and then found that among his subordinates, there were a few familiar faces missing, including Yin Changfeng and Duan Canglong. When the accident occurred in Xuanwu City, although Chen Ning was not there, he was still very clear about the situation in Xuanwu City. He couldn't help but sigh a little and said: "In the days when the governor of Pontus was away, Xuanwu City suffered major changes, and some heartache and regret things happened. However, thanks to everyone's unity, we were able to survive the catastrophe, and everyone worked hard. ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "Most of the governors have won awards, these are our duty!"

After Chen Ning entered the city, he first went to worship the graves of Duan Canglong and other soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend the city, and then returned to the city lord's mansion to discuss the enemy situation with everyone.

When everyone arrived, Chen Ning looked around at everyone and said: "Two days later, it will be the night of the fifteenth full moon, according to reliable information, the Corpse Emperor of Xisuo is planning to summon the corpse tide on the night of the full moon, although I got the drum of the god of war on this trip, but if Xisuo succeeds in summoning the corpse tide, then the battle situation will be difficult for us to control, what do you think, you can speak freely." ”

Wei Qing was the highest position in the audience except for Chen Ning, and he did not hesitate to speak first: "Grand Governor, since the Xisuo Corpse Emperor summoned the corpse tide on the night of the full moon, then we simply don't wait, gather the army out of the city now, go straight to the black swamp, and fight the enemy in a decisive battle." Strive to end the battle before the night of the full moon, after all, there is not much time limit for your Drum of War in the Grand Governor, and it is beneficial for us to start the war early. ”

Tears spoke: "Some of what General Wei said is reasonable, but some are wrong. First of all, you said that it is indeed beneficial for us to mention starting a war. But you say that the drum of the god of war does not have many restrictions, which is not true. Because the Drum of the God of War summons the heroic spirits of the ancient battlefield after all, they are actually the undead. They are only suitable for summoning at night, or for summoning in rainy weather, so that they can exert their full combat power, if they are summoned in the daytime when the sun is scorching, it is estimated that many heroic spirits will not appear at all. ”

Suga also said at this time: "Although it is good to start a war in advance, in order to retrieve the drum of the god of war, the Grand Governor fought with Prince Vlad of the Blood Clan, and both were defeated. Now the Metropolitan Governor also needs a little time to recover his strength, so starting a war in advance is not a good thing for the Metropolitan Governor personally, for the army, the Metropolitan Governor's strength has not returned to its peak state, and it also lacks a strong backing and pillar. ”

Next, all the generals present here expressed some of their own opinions, and the meaning was similar, and there were pros and cons to starting a war in advance, which needed to be weighed.

In the end, everyone turned their attention to Chen Ning, after all, Chen Ning was the Grand Governor and the supreme commander here. Now that everyone has explained the pros and cons very clearly, how to decide in the end depends on Chen Ning's meaning.

Chen Ning was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "My injuries will give me a day or two to recover, and it is indeed beneficial for us to start a war in advance, we must try our best to make it impossible for the Corpse Emperor to gather the corpse tide as he wishes." So I'm going to let the army go first, and I'll come after that, and start the war tomorrow after sunset, and end it before sunset the day after tomorrow!"

Wei Qing and the others glanced at each other, and stood up in unison: "Obey the orders of the Grand Governor!"

Chen Ning looked at the tears: "Tears, the governor of Pontus ordered you to serve as the vanguard general, Zhang Chi and Wang Yabiao as deputy generals, and led the 200,000 soldiers of the Freedom Blade to act as the vanguard and open the way for the army!"

Tears and Zhang Chi and Wang Yabiao stood up together: "Obey!"

Chen Ning then ordered: "Lin Qingxuan, Chen Qinghua!"

Lin Qingxuan and Chen Qinghua both lined up together: "The last general!"

Chen Ning: "You lead 10 soldiers from each of your headquarters to act as the left and right flanks of the army and cooperate with the army to attack!"

Lin Qingxuan and Chen Qinghua responded: "Obey!"

Chen Ning instructed again: "Wei Qing, you act as the temporary commander, leading the Blade Legion, the Black Legion and the Wings of Freedom have a total of 280,000 soldiers in the center, and Kan Jing, Qin Yingqi, Shi Python, Qiu Yalong, Fang Zheng, and Blood God are the deputy generals. ”

Suga and the others should be together, and Wei Qing solemnly promised: "The last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the metropolitan governor and will carefully control the enemy." ”

Chen Ning nodded, and finally ordered: "Qin Que and Rahu, you two lead the Immortal Bird Legion and the Black Shark Legion to act as the rear of the army to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on our rear." ”

Qin Que and Rahu: "Take the order!"

After Chen Ning's order went down, Xuanwu City immediately began to get busy, except for the necessary defenders, all the soldiers of the other legions were gathered and ready to fight.

Countless wheeled heavy artillery, armored combat vehicles and other equipment have been continuously pulled out of the warehouse, and even the floating transport boats and floating warships in Xuanwu City have all been assembled, and anyone can see that a major war related to the fate of the Chinese Empire is about to begin.

Xuanwu City is inhabited by nearly 100 million residents, and at this time, everyone cooks and gathers all kinds of food, and then asks the women to take it to the street corner and give it to the soldiers who are about to fight, hoping that the soldiers can eat their stomachs, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and defend their homes.

Chen Ning sent almost all the soldiers out except for the local garrison troops in Xuanwu City, and only the guards led by the Bull Demon King were left by his side.

Although Chen Ning's guards are only three hundred people, the worst fighters are all ninth-level generals, including the Bull Demon King, Zhang Xinyi, Shen Bijun, Zhao Jiangfeng, Gu Yutong and other tenth-level generals, and even Gu Xiaocheng, an eleventh-level perverted genius girl.

While the other legions were busy assembling and preparing for battle, the Bull Demon King and their personal guard team were not idle.

The Bull Demon King summoned the heads of all the hospitals and instructed the heads of these hospitals to carry out a nationwide blood campaign in Xuanwu City from now on.

Bull Demon King, they naturally don't say that blood is mainly for Chen Ning, so it will be taboo, they only publicize the start of the battle, when the time comes, many soldiers will be injured, and a lot of blood will be needed for treatment, so they advocate that the whole people of Xuanwu City donate blood.

This battle is related to the survival of Xuanwu City, and no one in Xuanwu City's hundreds of millions of people dares to slack off, and almost all the people who are physically friendly have gone out to participate in blood activities.

The Bull Demon King looked at the progress of the blood activity sent by the hospital and the blood packets that had been collected, and he thought excitedly: Haha, not only can I make a blood pool for the eldest brother to heal, but also allow the eldest brother to store a large amount of blood in the spiritual city, and then the eldest brother will not be afraid of Vlad's moonlight power, because the eldest brother has stored so much blood, it can be regarded as a perpetual motion machine!
