This battle not only killed and injured the demon army, dampened the morale of the other party, but also opened Liu Qingshan's mood, at least the depression caused by the inability to break through some time ago was completely resolved, and the dark abyss line, Liu Qingshan can also be regarded as seeing it, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, he can't give up his faith, because he is not alone.

Especially at this moment, looking at the pair of eyes in front of him with warmth, expectation, and love, Liu Qingshan is full of courage, if one day, the world is really going to be destroyed, he believes that there are many people here who are willing to die with him, what else is there to shake in life?

This night, I went to bed very late, and the women were excited, and they didn't feel sleepy, and finally talked until they got to bed.

When I woke up, the sun was already high, and the girls who shared the bed yesterday were only the left and right two, Yubi and Yulian, these two little women, especially pestering, at the moment were like two kittens, squeezed in his arms, sleeping sweetly.

Liu Qingshan didn't wake them up, came out after freshening up, and found that the middle hall was empty and quiet, there was no one, but in the courtyard, there was a lot of noise, Liu Qingshan stepped out, and was immediately discovered by the palace maid at the door, and worshiped in unison, the sound alarmed everyone, and they all looked over.

Without waiting for them to move, at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Jiang and Yu Shen walked in, Yan Jiang was tired, it seemed that he had not slept all night, Yan Jiang had not yet spoken, and Yu Shen had already said: "Husband, I went to the city tower just now, and it was another night of bloody fighting, and the number of undead armies is increasing, and our special ordnance is afraid that it is not enough." ”

Yes, it's really this battle, the demon country is too ferocious, I'd rather die than retreat, the gamble is the fortune of the country, although the Shenlong Empire has been in full operation, whether it is grain and grass or ordnance, it is also fully supported, but the special ordnance needs to use the spring of the Shenlong blood pool, to make it, there is some trouble, in the face of countless undead, it is really more and more stressful.

Every night, there will be a new undead patrol refining, as long as the empress is there, the army of the undead will continue to expand, and two million demon soldiers can become undead. This is indeed a rather terrifying thing, Liu Qingshan wants to consume the power of the Demon Kingdom, isn't the empress also consuming the power of the Divine Dragon Empire.

Liu Qingshan nodded and said: "I have already asked people to prepare for the retreat, the border city has been continuously damaged for more than a month, and it is almost impossible to support it, so we have to withdraw to the northwest city, but the migration of nearby tribes is relatively slow, and it needs to consume the strength of the demon country, so it needs to be supported for a few more days." ”

The jade god was stunned for a moment and asked, "My husband wants to retreat?"

Liu Qingshan nodded and said: "Actually, before the war, I had such a plan, with the border city pass as the first line of defense, the northwest city as the second line, and the southwest city as the third line, and now it seems that we should indeed retreat." ”

The Great Northwest Frontier is too remote and remote, hundreds of miles away from the Northwest City, whether it is grain, grass or weapons, it is really difficult to luck, but the Northwest City is different, the Northwest City's defensive barrier is easier to defend and difficult to attack than the Great Northwest Border City, if it weren't for too many tribes here, Liu Qingshan might not have supported it for so long.

Moreover, the Northwest City has now gathered quite a number of troops, these troops are recuperating, and they have not been transferred here, just waiting for the defense after retreating, although Liu Qingshan is already in action, he has not told the women, I am afraid that only Qingyue knows, after all, Liu Qingshan's order is carried out through the shadow guard.

As she was talking, Qingyue had already walked in from the door briskly and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Northwest City. ”

Liu Qingshan took it, tore it open, and then handed the letter to the Jade God, and said, "The Northwest City has been prepared, and now is also the time to start planning a retreat." ”

"But here?" the jade god couldn't accept it for a while, and lived here for more than a month, to be honest, he was still a little reluctant.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "What, I'm still addicted, this is just an outpost, we have a planned retreat, and we will fight back at any time, didn't you just say that the army of the undead is difficult to deal with, in the northwest city, I prepared a big meal for the undead, I believe the empress will like it." ”

"Calling everybody, a meeting. ”

Liu Qingshan gave an order, and everyone came, Luo Tianwu, Giselle, and Cao Feihong, etc., all gathered in the big wing room on the side of the courtyard, which was the emperor's conference room, temporary.

"Your Majesty, this time the gathering was gathered, but what changes have occurred in the battle situation?" Cao Feihong is now the busiest person, the hard work of this cabinet lord, Liu Qingshan is distressed when he looks at it, he is really exhausted, and he has died, although he has persuaded many times, but he just knows his mistakes and does not change, according to him, his master even Yunshan wants to pay for the empire, with his life, he has to do more.

Liu Qingshan pressed his hand and said, "Master Cao, don't be excited, sit down, when everyone arrives, I will make it clear." "Not only these people in front of them, but also the major army commanders who came in later, as well as the two people of the Jianghu Martial Arts Alliance, the Jingyuan Master and the Tuo Palace Master, were all summoned.

Although some people fought last night and have not rested until now, they are very tired, but they still rushed to it as soon as possible.

Qingyue nodded to Liu Qingshan, signaling that the people had arrived, Liu Qingshan stood up and said: "Everyone, this time I summoned everyone to explain to you that this king knows everyone's hard work, so to make a long story short, in the past month, the demon army has been attacking day and night, and the border city pass has been almost broken several times, and there are many dangers, so in the next few days, we will shrink our forces and prepare to evacuate the border city pass one after another and return to the northwest city to garrison." ”

"Retreat? Your Majesty, by all means, from the border city to the northwest city, hundreds of miles, there are many emperor's people in between, many small tribes, if you give up guarding, these people will be killed by the demon country and refined into undead soldiers, as far as the old minister knows, the beast alliance has millions of people, this matter is not trivial, please Your Majesty decide carefully." ”

Cao Feihong is worthy of being an old minister, he knows the situation in various parts of the empire, and when he heard that Liu Qingshan was preparing to retreat, he immediately discovered the problem and won the support of many people.

"Your Majesty, although the empire has suffered great losses in this war of attrition now, our whole army is united, and we can still hold on, the empire's territory, how can we allow the demons to invade and occupy it, and we are not willing to serve the country with our bodies, and we would rather die than retreat. ”

"Your Majesty, it is the duty of the soldiers to protect the territory of the empire, and the generals are not in favor of retreating, so as not to let the people of the empire, innocent and killed by the demon soldiers, the tragedy of twenty years ago must not be repeated, please take back your life. ”

I have to say that these generals who came out of the Shenlong training camp are loyal and courageous, for the country and the people, and would rather sacrifice themselves.

They all experienced the ordeal of twenty years ago, and they don't want to see this kind of history repeat itself.

Liu Qingshan didn't blame them, but seeing that none of the women spoke, looking at their appearance, they all trusted Liu Qingshan very much, which made Liu Qingshan very pleased.

"Okay guys, what you said, this king naturally understands, in fact, as early as a month ago, this king has issued a secret order to let the city lord of the northwest city speed up the relocation of the emperor, those tribes in the outer city, after all moved to the inner city, even millions of orcs have been temporarily removed, no, just received the news from the northwest city, they have completed their mission, in the northwest area, there are no more tribesmen. ”

Cao Feihong immediately stood up and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has been prepared for a long time, since this is the case, the old minister has no opinion, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the old minister for the misunderstanding just now." ”

Liu Qingshan said: "Your loyalty and patriotism, this king understands very well, it is also commendable to have such persistence, how can this king be angry, everyone is for the country, the country will be strong, everyone for the people, the people can unite and resist the enemy." ”

"Everyone knows that from the Northwest City to the Border City, transportation is a big problem, it has consumed a lot of the empire's strength in vain, and the retreat to the Northwest City is not an escape, but a planned retreat, and you don't need to worry. ”

General Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty can give an order, and we will obey the order and dare not disobey." ”

"Let's go back and prepare, the order will be issued soon, but this matter, before taking action, must be kept secret, and don't pass it on lightly. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The first step to withdraw, of course, is Wenchen, like Cao Feihong, these people who manage affairs and logistics, although these people are not like generals to go into battle to kill the enemy, but they are also a very important existence in the empire, leaving first, you can avoid the worries of the army, the second step to withdraw, is the imperial palace, it is the jade god and Yu Yan, the women of the inner palace, the northwest city is much safer than the northern city pass.

The third step will be to retreat the army, according to Liu Qingshan's idea, the last to leave is the Heavenly Sword and the Orc Legion, and Liu Qingshan is also ready to stay until the end.

In the name of the Emperor, fight to the last moment.

"Your Majesty, aren't you leaving with us?" and the other women knew Liu Qingshan's retreat arrangements, and asked a little unhappily.

Liu Qingshan shook his head and said: "If I leave, I'm afraid that my morale will be clumsy and I will cause trouble, don't worry, it'll be fine, you go first, so as not to worry me." ”

Among the imperial concubines, many of them were powerless women, and Liu Qingshan didn't want them to be hurt.

After everyone dispersed, early the next morning, the first order appeared, and the warriors and those imperial warriors who took the initiative to help the battle withdrew first, because they were not regular troops, and at the critical time, they were afraid that they would become messy, and Liu Qingshan did not dare to leave them to the end.

Just one day, those tents on both sides of the street in the city have all disappeared, I have to say, in this kind of place for more than a month, many people have long wanted to leave, if it were not for the majesty of the emperor, the severe punishment of deserters, they are afraid that they would have fled early, now with the emperor's order, they can leave freely, can they not leave?

In any case, the Northwest City is always much better than the Domain City Pass.

The concubines in the big courtyard also packed their bags, packed up and got into the car, and could leave at any time, but the jade god and Yu Yan were a step back, they didn't want to leave the emperor alone, and they didn't want the women to become a burden, so they were divided into two groups and left as when they came.

The people who stayed were all martial arts cultivators, and those who did not practice martial arts, as well as the show girls, all left together on the third day.
