As the sun rises, several figures slowly appear on the mountain path outside the stronghold with the dawn of dawn. Han Qiuming's several generals appeared in the eyes of the soldiers of the Yunzi Battalion one after another, and immediately behind them were the soldiers of the three armies of heaven, earth, and man, and Zhou Yun roughly estimated that the total strength was probably about 15,000.

However, on the left side of the officers and men of the Ruling Council, there are two teams with clear banners, judging from the color of the 'Divine Eye', they are the two battalions of Xuanwu and Baihu, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people.

From the analysis of the situation of the two sides pouring out of the nest, the organizer estimated that on the last day of the assessment, the Yunzi Battalion, which intended to set off a rebellion, would be cleared to achieve the effect of alerting all the candidates, so that everyone would know that there would be no good end if they were the first bird.

As for why the two battalions of Suzaku and Qinglong did not appear, Xu Qian guessed that the other party should be in charge of logistics. After all, 25,000 soldiers went out to fight, and there was no corresponding number to move the supply points, and it was difficult to maintain the final battle in the future.

While Zhou Yun and the others were analyzing the strength of the enemy army, Han Qiuming was also looking at the Yunzi Battalion base in front of him. To the surprise of the Seven Battalion Alliance, the reinforced Xuanwu No. 1 stronghold has undergone earth-shaking changes, to use the most direct analogy, a week ago the stronghold was like a simple cottage, and a week later it became a military fortress in Gaocheng Shenchi.

The thin wooden fence has been thickened and heightened several times, forming a 10-meter-high and 2.5-meter-wide city wall, and the city head is not only full of strong crossbowmen of the Yunzi battalion, but also full of city defense weapons, and the sharp arrow tips shine in the cold light under the rising sun, which makes the enemy soldiers discouraged.

"Oh, that's gorgeous." Guo Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh, a rudimentary stronghold was actually armed to the teeth, and its defensive capability was probably no less than that of the main cities of each battalion.

"Personally, I think it should be attacked with fire, the city walls are all wooden, and they will be finished as soon as they are burned." Luo Yuda thought he was smart and mentions, but in exchange for Han Qiuming's sneer: "Do you think the other party didn't expect it?" The practice assessment rules prohibit fires, and the only thing that can be used is zero-degree flames, do you think that thing that doesn't itch or hurt can burn down the city wall? Xu Qian is not as simple as you think. ”

"Tsk, where did you say that moat came from?" Cheng Hui was a little inexplicable, the first stronghold of Xuanwu was far away from the coast, where did the other party draw the water from.

"Instructor, why did you forget that they had a water ability manipulator, and that blonde woman wasn't easy to mess with." Ling Xikui has a vivid memory of Dai Qinya, and it is the first time since she became sensible that she has suffered losses in heads-up.

"I see, hehe, does Xiaoshuang still want to smash the wall?" Cheng Hui asked humorously, but unfortunately Cheng Shuang's face was dumb and completely ignored him. The moat in front of him is about six meters wide and three meters deep, and there is only a two-meter path outside the city leading to the main gate of the stronghold.

"Prepare the ladder!" Han Qiuming didn't want to waste time, so he decisively gave an order, although the stronghold of the Yunzi battalion was heavily armed, the enemy army was only 8,000 soldiers and horses, and they had 25,000 people not counting logistics. There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, as long as they play normally, it will not be a problem to capture the stronghold.

However, as soon as Han Qiuming's words fell, a middle-aged man with clear water chestnuts and very heroic stars came out of the Xuanwu camp: "Vice Marshal Han, can you allow me to go into battle and say a few words." ”

"Uncle Situ, please." Han Qiuming nodded with a smile and stretched out her hand to make an invitation. The person who came was the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion, a member of the Situ family, and the girl didn't understand what he was going to do, but it didn't hurt to say a few words to the enemy. Han Qiuming treats her peers a little arrogantly, but she still maintains due respect in front of her elders.

The middle-aged uncle walked majestically to the front of the city in full view of everyone, risking being sniped by Mu Xiaoya: "Where is Situ Xiahui, the deputy commander of the Yunzi Battalion!" ”

"Xia Hui......?" Zhou Yun on the city wall looked to the side in confusion, why did the other party call the formation to find Situ Xia Hui by name? The boss of the cloud word camp should be him, could it be that the old guy wants to bully the girl?

Xu Qian patted the girl beside her and said lightly, "Xunxiang, you inform Xia Hui to come up and take a look." ”

Situ Xia Hui is not a military general, so she stays in the stronghold to command the Jackal Army, as for why Shunxiang is standing at the head of the city, it is because she must wait for Xu Qian's order and be ready to send a code to the Imperial Husband Army lurking in the moat at any time.

"Dad?" As Situ Xiahui lost his voice in surprise, Zhou Yun and the others suddenly woke up to the fact that the middle-aged uncle of the Xuanwu camp was actually the father of a girl, which was really surprising news.

Situ Xiahui, under the protection of Zhou Yun, hurriedly climbed to the lookout of the city wall. The girl quietly looked at her father in the city, and her inner world was full of feelings. Because his father appeared as the main general of Xuanwu, he obviously fought for the honor of the family. On the other hand, her father is likely to be ordered by the family to stop her. Situ Xiahui knew very well that once he died, it would be wishful thinking to be promoted to the hero level.

"Dad...... Why are you ......" Situ Xiahui paused halfway through his words. The girl wanted to ask her father why he was trying to stop her father if he was only one step away from getting rid of the family marriage. However, if you think about it carefully, my father must not be able to stand the pressure of the family, so he was forced to come.

"Dad, are you trying to persuade me to go back to the family?" A tear slipped down her cheek, Situ Xiahui only felt so painful, the girl never thought that the last person who came to stop her was her father, who had been silently supporting her.

"Xiaohui, you're bitter. The father is useless, he can only watch his daughter being wronged but unable to do anything, I am really a disqualified father. Situ Xuan stood lonely by the pool, looking at the girl in the city from afar, his eyes were full of shame and helplessness.

"Don't say it, after the assessment, I'll go back with you." Situ Xiahui finally believed that what Tang Mulei said was true, and supported his father all the way, and really fell to the family, not only freezing the bank account, but also personally stopping her.

Situ Xuan looked at his daughter's hesitant expression, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart: "No, Xiaohui heard from my father, you old bean and I live in a nest, and I can't fight for more happiness for you, every time I listen to the family elders say irresponsible things, I can only be silent." But yo, please believe Dad, as long as those old guys talk about your marriage, Lao Dou will not back down! The father is not a bastard so much that he even betrays his daughter! ”

"Dad, you ......" Situ Xiahui should have been very happy when she heard her father's resolute choice, but for some reason, instead of feeling the slightest joy in her heart, she felt a faint melancholy. My father must have been quite conscious of making such a declaration in front of everyone's eyes......

Situ Xuan took a deep breath, as if he wanted to calm his mood, and then showed a smile of relief: "I didn't come this time to persuade you to return to the family. but to say goodbye to you......"

"Farewell?" Situ Xiahui has been wondering what her father wants to express, and at the same time, she is faintly aware of the inappropriateness, through those deep pupils, she can feel the loneliness in her father's heart, why is that faint sadness?

However, just when Xia Hui was deeply worried, Situ Xuan raised his sword high and slashed a crack in the land opposite the girl: "Situ Xia Hui, from now on, you and I will break off the father-daughter relationship!" We don't owe each other! Don't get along with each other! ”

"What's going on?" Situ Xiahui was shocked, and her father's words suddenly made her six gods and masters.

"That's it." Situ Xuan shook his head vicissitudes, and then smiled calmly: "Now that you are free, you will not have anything to do with the Situ family, and no one will force you to learn any bullshit family etiquette." This is the proudest thing Dad has ever done, and the last thing Dad has done for you. ”

Situ Xuan has always been very concerned about Situ Xiahui's dynamics, and when he heard that his daughter had become the deputy commander of the Yunzi Battalion and knew that she might be able to complete the tasks arranged by the family, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep. However, the family took the liberty of ordering him to participate in the practical assessment and demanded that he defeat the rebels with all his might.

Situ Xuan knew in his heart that once the Yunzi Battalion was defeated, all the efforts made by his daughter would be in vain, how could a father wipe out his daughter's lifelong happiness with his own hands? So he decisively refused the mission. However, the family did not change their minds because of Situ Xuan's refusal, but put forward conditions, saying that as long as he fought against the Yunzi Camp with all his might, they would agree to Situ Xiahui and Situ Jiaen's breakoff. Otherwise, even if the girl completes the task and reaches 1,500 points, don't want to get out of the family's mercy......

"No...... I've already reached four digits in points, and as long as I keep going, I'm sure I'll be able to complete the clan quest......"
