After the dragon left, the lion king could only wait anxiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Fortunately, his two hundred main cavalry were already on standby around the Imperial Mausoleum. The surrounding ditches and traps have also been prepared. The entrance to the imperial mausoleum is facing the riverbank, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; But without Xilong by his side, the lion king always felt unsteady in his heart.

"Is it to turn the tiger away from the mountain?!" The Lion King shuddered, "Why is Xiyang City so calm, General Chang Quyu hasn't sent someone to deliver a military report for a long time, could it be that something happened in Xiyang City?" ”

Thinking of this, the lion king hurriedly climbed to a high place and looked into the direction of Xiyang City, and in the evening, the lion king suddenly found that a black fog was pressing towards him. In fact, it was smoke from a burning wood.

On the other side of the river, something black began to press down, and it was a group of defeated soldiers.

"What's going on?" Everything in front of him made the lion king tremble.

"The prince is not good! Corpse! Corpse! The herald came in a panic.

"Sure enough, it's a tiger leaving the mountain!" The Lion King's fears became a reality, "However, how can there be zombies, and where do these zombies come from?" ”

"Is there any news from Xiyang City?" The Lion King hurriedly asked the herald, Xiyang City is the gateway to the Crystal Empire, and the survival of the empire is at stake!

"Lord Wang, there is no news from Xiyang City yet, because the road to Xiyang City is already full of zombies!"

"Immediately order to prepare for battle! Let those defeated soldiers cross the river as soon as possible, but isolate them, and at the same time, take good care of them! ”

"Order!" The herald immediately clenched his fists in greeting, and then hurried down to give the order.

The lion king stroked his beard, glad that he had left some of Xilong's subordinates.

"Will something happen to Xiyang City! Perhaps I should ask the fleeing soldiers. When the lion king arrived, he immediately took a closer look at the clothes of the soldiers on the other side of the river.

It turned out to be the clothes of the soldiers of the Northern Liberty Kingdom! What's going on? But in the face of the fierce attack of zombies, these soldiers of the Northern Kingdom have been scattered in all directions, and they have no fighting spirit.

"Even if you risk your life, you should go and help! Even former enemies should be rescued in the face of disaster. The lion king calmly thought, "A new and dangerous era is coming, and one more friend means one more chance to survive!" ”

The smoke in the distance covered almost all of the opposite bank, and the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom jumped into the river in terror, trying to swim to the lion king's position. But panic and confusion became the number one killer of these soldiers, and many soldiers were trampled to death by the cavalry behind them, and drowned because they were not accustomed to water.

The Lion King's soldiers were trained to swim to the other side to maintain order, but panic had caused the situation to spiral out of control. Because the zombies behind have already swarmed and rushed over.

"Look!" A terrified soldier from the North Liberty country pointed to the sky full of sunset. Twenty black shadows flying in the sky rushed towards the black-pressed zombie horde, followed by a burst of crackling sounds like the sound of smashed, ripe watermelons.

The soldiers closest to the zombie horde, it was a group of black donkeys with bat-like wings! They skillfully stuffed the donkey's hooves into the zombie's mouth, making the zombie unable to move, and then crushed the zombie's head directly with the huge claws like iron hooks on the wings! Soon a large number of headless zombies fell to the ground, the ground was covered with pieces of black corpse oil, and the zombies behind seemed to have a premonition of something, and they all turned their heads and fled back.

Then the panicked soldiers of the North Liberia began to calm down and let out a burst of cheers.

……

"Thank you for saving your life!" , the leader of this group of soldiers of the Northern Liber Kingdom, came to the lion king and bent down and covered his chest with his hands crossed, which was the highest tribute to the Northern Liber Kingdom. The soldiers behind the leader were lined up and stood on the shore, about thirty people. His face was full of happy expressions for the rest of his life.

The lion king noticed that the leader in front of him was handsome and heroic. Her voice seemed to be deliberately low, more like a girl.

"How are you in the Crystal Country?" The Lion King is still wary of these former rivals.

The leader replied respectfully: "Your country's Xiyang City was suddenly closed, I thought it was just to prevent us, so we decided to go to Xiyang City to talk to you the Lion King, hoping to reopen Xiyang City in order to continue trade." So, I led a few retinues and some scout cavalry to ask for an audience. But before they arrived in Xiyang City, a spy came to report that Xiyang City was already billowing with black smoke and flames. We hurriedly rushed to Xiyang City, and sure enough, as the spies said, the entire Xiyang City was completely out of control. As the gates were closed, there was no one on the walls, but we could hear the cries, so we found a gap along the wall, which, in retrospect, seemed to have been deliberately left for us. ”

"Gap?!" When the Lion King heard this, he was very surprised, General Chang Quyu, who was guarding Xiyang City, was a very careful and cautious person, and he would never leave any such gap!

"Could it be that the situation has gotten out of control to the point that General Chang Quyu is difficult to control?" The Lion King thought to himself.

The chief of the kingdom of Northern Liberty continued; "Let's climb this gap in the wall one by one......"

"Wait, how did you get through the trench?" The lion king seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly asked.

"The trench has been laid with planks, and besides, the trench has been filled with dead foxes for some reason, and there are no planks, and you can still pass by stepping on the corpses of the foxes!"

When the lion king heard this, he couldn't help frowning. "Is there an inner ghost?"

"It's supposed to be a ghost fox!" Behind the leader, a middle-aged man who looked like a master said. This person's eyebrows are like golden hooks, the bridge of his nose is high, his cold face reveals a fairy aura, and his eyes are as deep as a deep spring.

"Master Xia Nan, it seems that you know something?"

"Your Highness, it seems that there is no need for us to hide it, it seems that the Lion King is already in danger of being devoured by the dark forces at any time, just like us!"

Hearing this, the leader hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Okay, Lord Lion King, I can't hide it, I'm the eldest princess of the Beili Kingdom-Tuo Xi'er, this is the head of Xia Nan from the overseas immortal land, Zeyu Island!"

"It turned out to be a distinguished guest! Come, first to my camp, and we'll talk in detail! "I heard that one was a princess and the other was a stranger; The Lion King was also quite surprised.

The lion king's camp was a simple makeshift tent with a wooden table and a few wooden benches. The Lion King specially arranged two seats for Tuo Xi'er and Xia Nan.

"How is your father?" The lion king asked sincerely, although they have been rivals for decades, the lion king still respects this once powerful old king.

"Honorable Lion King, my father hasn't shown up for a long time, and he can't even see Tuo'an and Tuolie beside him! My father has given me no less task to live the coffin, and it seems that he has been completely bewitched by those witch doctors! A layer of sadness appeared on Tuo Xi'er's handsome face.

"And what are these witch doctors?" The Lion King had a hunch that this witch doctor was the source of the current chaos in the Northern Kingdom.

"The leader of these witch doctors is called Daxian, and there are about five or six of them; Even though they were dressed as male doctors, my instinct as a woman told me that they were all young women! ”

Hearing this, the Lion King nodded.

After being silent for a while, the lion king then asked, "What's the matter with the ghost fox, is it related to these zombies in front of you?" Can you tell me more about that? ”

Tuo Xi'er looked at his master, Daoist Xia Nan, meaning that the master would introduce the information about the ghost fox. After all, Daoist Xia Nan knows this race best.

It was already completely dark, and soon a logistics officer came to report that the soldiers of the Northern Liberty Kingdom had arranged their accommodation and had no worries about food and clothing. Tuo Xi'er thanked her, but she was relieved. So, Daoist Xia Nan went on to introduce the ghost fox.

"I've been paying attention to the ghost fox for many years, and the millennium grudge has been between the ghost fox and the elves, especially after the last magic melee, the ghost fox felt the hostility of the elves towards them. This is also the reason why foxes are the only ones who do not have elves, they are a race that is discriminated against by elves! ”

"Why is the ghost fox discriminated against?" The Lion King asked in surprise.

"Because in the last magic war, the ghost fox was an ally of those evil witch doctors!"

"Evil witch doctor?" The Lion King was surprised and said, "So where are these witch doctors now?" ”

"In the past, these witch doctors were basically exterminated by the Goddess of Creation and various righteous forces, but with the recent turmoil, some evil witch doctors are ready to move again, although there are a group of righteous witch doctors who continue to resist, but the effect is not very good. Especially after the evil witch doctor and the Dark Lord colluded, the power of the evil witch doctor expanded rapidly, and formed an organization called the 'Dark Witch Doctor Regiment'! This organization is infiltrating various countries and regions and is ready to set off a new wave of world conquest! What's even worse is that I heard that these evil witch doctors are still studying how to create and control zombies, and these zombies in front of me are likely to be related to them! ”

Hearing this, the Lion King remembered Xilong's introduction to the last magic war, and began to think for a long time.

"Royalty? The Dark Witch Doctor? Ghost fox? The Lion King kept these three key words in his mind. Xilong once introduced that the royal family of the Crystal Kingdom was greatly involved in the last magical war; And Daoist Xia Nan specifically mentioned the witch doctor.

"Could it be that the royal family is also involved with the witch doctor? - Maybe there is an answer in the Imperial Tomb! The Lion King suddenly felt enlightened, "It seems that I need to risk entering the Imperial Tomb again!" The lion king secretly decided, of course, the lion king knew very well in his heart that he had to enter secretly!

"The Lion King......

Hearing Princess Tuoxi'er call him, the lion king came back to his senses.

"Oh...... So what did you see in Xiyang City? The Lion King then asked.

"There are zombies everywhere!" "We also rushed south, but I noticed that the residential area on Snow Goose Mountain was very calm, and perhaps most of the people had retreated to the mountain. ”

When the Lion King heard this, he felt a little relieved, and he was still very relieved about Chang Quyu's temporary emergency handling ability. After all, it was already dark, and the lion king decided to send someone to investigate the next day.

"Uh, yes, so be it! You'd better settle down first, let your entourage rest, and by the way, calm the soldiers' emotions. We're going to send you back tomorrow! Otherwise, some people will say that I have fornicated with foreign enemies, and I will be at a loss for words! After settling in, the princess and the Taoist chief will go back to my camp to talk in detail! ”

Princess Tuo Xi'er nodded, so she left with Daoist Xia Nan and arranged for her subordinates.

Seeing that the two had left, the lion king immediately arranged for people to closely monitor Tuo Xi'er and his subordinates, after all, the incident happened suddenly, and the lion king had to guard against it.

Of course, for the Lion King, the safety of Xiyang City is what he is most concerned about, after all, the families of his soldiers are still in Sunset City, fortunately, there is General Chang Quyu, who has experience in dealing with zombies back then, and I hope there will be no big problems; But Lengyang City is the southern gateway of Xiyang City, and the Lion King is also at ease, not to mention that Xilong and Pan Yu are there, and the Lion King never wants them to have any mistakes. At this time, the Lion King didn't know that the national teacher Zhongshan Lang had also joined the defense of Lengyang City!

"Mausoleum!" The word popped into the lion king's mind, "Yes, you can't panic yourself!" ”

"Someone!" Soon a herald arrived.

"Have the cavalry assemble and patrol the riverbank to prevent a few zombies from crossing the river! Send a few more capable scouts across the river to find out what's going on the other side! ”

"Could it be that the tiger is leaving the mountain?" The Lion King suddenly thought.

The situation in Cold Yang City and Xiyang City appeared at almost the same time, so that the Lion King had to take this into account.

"It seems that as soon as I get to the vicinity of the mausoleum, some people can't sit still!" The Lion King guessed that this strengthened his determination to guard the mausoleum.

Nearly an hour later, it was midnight. After settling his subordinates, Tuo Xi'er and Daoist Xia Nan immediately entered the lion king's camp.

The lion king immediately invited them into his study and began to talk.

"Two, suitable for troubled times, this king also has to be guarded against!"

Of course, Tuo Xi'er and Xia Nan knew what the lion king meant, and the two of them already knew that they had been being watched; But they were surprised to hear that the lion king was so sincere and candid.

"Princess Toxier, the current crisis is no longer something that our two countries can solve, we must unite all other kingdoms threatened by this dark force, especially the countries of the Far Western Regions; But the Silk Road of the Crystal Empire has been almost cut off, and only the northern part of your country may have a road to the Far West; But Princess, your father ......"

"Lord Wang, I have heard of this dark force for a long time, but I don't know much about it, until last month, my master hurriedly came from afar to tell me that the Sea Dead King is colluding with the Tiger King of your country!"

Hearing the word "Tiger King", the lion king's heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a golden hammer, and the lion king could not believe that the student he was proud of had fallen like this.

"As for my father, the king, it is difficult for me to come near him; It's all the ghost of those witch doctors, so this time my master will accompany me to the North Royal Court! Toxier continued.

"The North Royal Court?" The lion king suddenly remembered his two sons who were still in the northern royal court of the northern kingdom of Beili, but he could not say anything about the two sons lurking now; So, he asked tentatively, "How much do you know about the current Northern Royal Court, Your Highness?" ”

"Hey, my father doesn't want me to go at all, but fortunately my two younger brothers are with me, so those witch doctors shouldn't cause trouble!"

But the Lion King didn't think so, and he said worriedly, "I'm afraid these witch doctors are not as simple as you think!" ”

"What the prince said is very true!" Daoist Xia Nan followed, "We can't rule out the possibility that these witch doctors will have some kind of relationship with the 'Dark Witch Doctor Order'!" As far as these zombies in front of them are concerned, they are too strange! There is also the corpse of the fox in the trench outside Sunset City, it seems that even the ghost fox clan may be involved! ”

"So which side will the ghost fox be on?" The Lion King asked.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about, so I hope to be able to meet the people of the ghost fox as soon as possible, and hopefully to be able to convince them to side with us! The power of the Ghost Fox is not to be underestimated, and if they can help us deal with these witch doctors, then we can have more chances of victory. ”

The Lion King nodded heavily.

"By the way, Lord Wang, the flying donkey saved us just now, where did they come from? We should thank them for saving their lives! Princess Tuoxier said sincerely.

"Not only do you thank you, but I should also be thanked, they are actually people from Xijia Village, who came to help me; But I didn't expect to be plotted by someone on the way, so I became what I am now! Hey—it's all because of me—I'll arrange for you to meet tomorrow at dawn, and by the way, I'll send you back to the territory of Beili Kingdom, of course, it depends on the situation in Xiyang City, assuming that Xiyang City is safe and sound, and you can gather the elite when you go back - this is a deliberate decision of mine - to allow your men to be stationed outside Xiyang City! ”

Hearing this, Tuo Xi'er's heart trembled - this means that after the defeat of the Northern Li Kingdom, the shame that the southern border was not allowed to deploy troops was completely cleared! Tuo Xi'er couldn't help but burst into tears!

This is also the way that the Lion King has no choice, his own troops are seriously insufficient, and the opponent is surprisingly strong, not to mention that the current Beili Kingdom is also facing the same threat. Although they were former rivals, in the face of more powerful dark forces, the two countries could only temporarily huddle together to keep warm.

The three of them talked until late at night before they went back to rest. The next day, Princess Tuoxi'er met these flying donkey subordinates of Xilong under the arrangement of the Lion King. Princess Tuoxier announced on the spot that these flying donkeys were the honorary knights of the royal city of the southern kingdom of Beili!

The opposite bank was surprisingly calm, and the zombies seemed to have disappeared suddenly. The scouts who came back from the investigation reported to the Lion King that they had not found a single word of zombies, and even the corpses had disappeared without a trace!

The Lion King looked at Princess Tuoxi'er, who was also standing beside him, and said, "Your Highness, how many of your subordinates are there?" ”

"There are twenty more, but fortunately none of them are seriously injured!"

"This place is closer to Lengyang City, it seems that you came directly along the rugged mountain terrain! Fortunately, I didn't go straight to Cold Sun City, otherwise I would have encountered even more trouble! The lion king said.

"This is my Master's credit! As soon as we entered the city wall, we encountered a large number of zombies, and they had blocked our retreat! We had to flee to the south gate, which was fortunately open. The road to Lengyang City was already full of zombies, so we could only run to the mountains and forests to the west, but not long after entering the mountains and forests, we got lost, but fortunately, my master led us here! ”

"Alas, what about Daoist Xia Nan?" The Lion King asked.

"Daoist Xia Nan went to the mountains behind your barracks early in the morning, planning to pick some herbs!"

"What?! - Not good! …… It's all to blame for not reminding you that behind the mountain is the Imperial Tomb, and there are magic traps! The Lion King hurriedly said, "Come with me!" ”

The Lion King led Princess Tuoxi'er and the guards to rush in the direction of the imperial tomb......
