When Ling Xiao and Ji Ning were talking and laughing, suddenly there was a sound of arrows in the distance.

Ji Ning's face changed suddenly: "The army of the Black Crow Empire is here again!"

Seeing the arrow explode in the air, Ling Xiao's face also became serious.

Soon after the arrow sounded, someone came to report: "General, the army of the Black Crow Empire is only three days away from their forward legion, and this time it is the Golden Blood Prince of the Black Crow Empire who is coming with the army, Gu Mo Zhiyan!"

"Hehe, did this little prince come to die on the battlefield, and who is their commander?"

Ji Ning asked with a smile.

"The commander is Kuma Zhiyan, but the deputy general is a little powerful, it is Timur Mutu, the golden crow general of the Black Crow Empire!"

"What! This old guy actually went out in person? It seems that the Crow Empire is also fighting endlessly, this time this old guy Mutu came out, most likely to give that little prince Gu Mo Zhiyan military merits. ”

Ji Ning's face became serious.

It is clear that Timur Mutu was definitely not a guy to mess with.

Although Ji Ning is not good at scheming, he is like a god with soldiers and is proficient in the art of war, and on the Shenhuang Continent, he is definitely an undefeated general.

His expression has become so serious now, which can only show that Timur Mutu is really terrible.

"General, what is the situation with this Timur Mutu?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Timur Mutu, his own cultivation is not weaker than mine, but his most powerful is still the use of soldiers and stratagems, I am really inferior to him, in terms of conspiracy and trickery, he is ten times better than me. ”

Ji Ning sighed and said: "It is said that I am an undefeated general, and I have never been defeated on the battlefield, this is true, but once the Crow Empire and the Shenhuang Empire had a decisive battle of great importance, at that time I was the commander, and I almost killed the capital of the Crow Empire, as long as this battle can be won, then there is really only the Shenhuang Empire left on the Shenhuang Continent."

However, I did not lose to others on the battlefield, but I was instigated by Na Mutu to change the commander of the battle, dismissed me from the position of commander, and sent me to this northern desert city, which is a pity.

Missing that opportunity, the Crow Empire rose rapidly, and now it is able to stand side by side with the Divine Phoenix Empire. ”

"I see, Mutu is so powerful, the little prince he supports, Kuma Zhiyan, shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"That's natural, in my opinion, Kuma Zhiyan may not be nothing, but for you young people, Guma Zhiyan is too terrifying, he is only sixteen years old this year, the same age as you, but his cultivation has already reached the early stage of the Ten Heavens Cultivation, this kind of qualification, the younger generation, at least in the Shenhuang Continent, I am afraid that the two princes can compete with him. ”

Ji Ning introduced: "Of course, the most terrifying thing about this little prince is not force, but wisdom, and I now doubt that he should be Mutu's illegitimate son, and he simply cuckolded the emperor of the Black Crow Empire."

It is rumored that when this little prince was thirteen years old, he assisted the emperor in eradicating the traitors in the court and consolidating the imperial power, and was the favorite little prince of the Black Crow Empire. ”

"It's really amazing, I think I'll meet this little prince. ”

Ling Xiao was excited when he heard the strong, especially the strong among his peers.

Kuma Zhiyan is about the same age as him, but his cultivation is much higher than him.

Although he doesn't care about this, after all, he has a relatively low starting point, but the feeling of competing with this kind of genius will definitely be very good.

"These two people stay together, this time the Northern Desert City may be really difficult. ”

Ji Ning smiled bitterly.

Because he can't get supplies all year round, he can only be self-sufficient, and Beimo City can barely rely on him to keep it, and this time he came to Mutu, it really didn't have to.

"Not necessarily. ”

Ling Xiao suddenly smiled and said: "What you said, the Crow Empire sent Timur Mutu to lead the troops this time, just to snatch military merit for that little prince Kuma Zhiyan, so that Jiuma Zhiyan can become the great hero of the Crow Empire and become a qualified heir to the throne."

Presumably, those who followed Timur Mutu were also their most loyal soldiers.

If we destroy it, what will happen to Kuma Zhiyan?"

"You really think differently, that's right, Kuma Zhiyan is a double-edged sword, he can make the soldiers of the Crow Empire work together and fight bravely, but it may also make this army fall apart!"

Ji Ning looked at Ling Xiao, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn't wait to accept a goddaughter to marry Ling Xiao now.

"Ling Xiao, would you like to go around the city with me?"

Ji Ning suddenly stood up and asked.

"Naturally, I want to go!"

Ling Xiao came here for military merits, so naturally he couldn't let the Northern Desert City fall.

As long as the Northern Desert City does not fall, he has enough opportunities to earn a lot of military merits.

Walking on the city wall, Ling Xiao could clearly feel that although this city seemed simple, in fact, there were mysteries near the city gate, and quite powerful formations and magic circles were arranged.

As long as the city is defended to the ground, unless the food and grass are cut off, the enemy may have to spend at least ten times as many people to conquer the city.

On the city wall, most of the soldiers were wounded and looked tired.

However, there was not the slightest discouragement or fear on their faces, only perseverance and determination.

However, Ling Xiao also discovered that perhaps because of the perennial attacks, there were a large number of flaws in the magic circle and formation of the city.

Although maintenance has been carried out, it has not been perfectly repaired.

Moreover, some formations seem to be completely upgradable in Ling Xiao.

It can be seen that the level of formation talent under Ji Ning's hand is still not enough.

Thinking of this, he silently kept all these in his heart, and after he was ready to design a new formation and magic circle, he would talk to Ji Ning to see if he could upgrade it.

"General, how many soldiers and civilians are there in the Northern Desert City?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"About 200,000 or so, of which only 40,000 are regular troops, and the rest are ordinary people. ”

Ji Ning didn't know what Ling Xiao was asking for, but since he had experienced the matter of the empty city plan, his trust in Ling Xiao had been significantly further strengthened.

"It's better to mobilize them all, otherwise there is no chance of winning this battle. ”

Ling Xiao said what Ji Ning knew in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.

Because of the return of the horse scout just now, the army of the Crow Empire is full of one million, and if you add the 200,000 vanguard legions, it will be more than 1.2 million.

But the total number of soldiers and civilians in Beimo City is only 200,000, which is a fraction of others.

There are not many troops in the Shenhuang Empire, and there are also many soldiers, but because of the relationship between the emperor, he refuses to give the Northern Desert City a source of soldiers, which will lead to so few soldiers here.

In fact, about ten miles away from the Northern Desert City, there was another city with more than 500,000 garrisons!

But Ji Ning and Ling Xiao both knew in their hearts that those people would not come to the rescue, and this battle really had to rely on them.
