Shi Xuankeng killed several disciples of the Blood Ring Sect and quickly fled the scene into the crowd and disappeared, the situation in the Dark Night City has become tense again in the past few days, and many city residents have seen a large number of war weapons and inexpensive food and grass continuously transported from the Shadow Moon Fortress, this is a signal of war, some people have begun to prepare to evacuate the city, once the war starts, it will not be so easy to leave.

A depressing atmosphere lingered in Night City, and more and more soldiers patrolled the city every day, and Liang Ming was actively preparing for the next attack plan.

Shi Xuan has almost traveled to many corners of Night City in the past two days, he has almost reconnoitred the military deployment of the empire, the situation is far more severe than they imagined, the gap between the military strength of the enemy and us is huge, although the empire has suffered heavy casualties in Beicang, but the results achieved before the four major fronts are still huge, they have a great advantage in weapons, equipment and numbers, which will undoubtedly produce huge pressure on the four empires.

Shi Xuan stood in the crowd, watching the truckloads of arcane ** transported to the front line, their storage of arcane ** still far exceeded the number of the four empires, once the war started, the four empires would inevitably suffer.

Shi Xuan also detected the location of the Blood Ring Sect's disciples, they did come to the aid of the empire this time, and their appearance would also cause a huge obstacle to Shi Xuan and them.

Shi Xuan's heart was a little solemn at the moment, the information he detected made him feel uneasy, the empire's ambitions were huge, and the preparations were even more sufficient, if he wanted to deal with this crisis in Night City, he had to win by surprise, otherwise the loss would be unimaginable.

"It's time to go back, senior brother, they should be in a hurry", Shi Xuan disappeared from the crowd, he needed to be dark before he could escape from the heavily guarded city.

After late at night, Shi Xuan slowly walked through the dark streets, avoiding many patrol soldiers and approaching the city wall, under the night, he flew high in the air, like a ghost in the night sky across the heavily guarded city, when the enemy found his figure, he had already flown far away, towards the camp in the distance.

When Shi Xuan's figure appeared in the camp, Jiang Yuheng's hanging hearts finally relaxed, and they were all ready to start their plans to enter the city again, but fortunately, Shi Xuan returned in time.

"Senior Brother Shi Xuan's trip has gone well?" someone asked.

"I entered the city overnight and found that the current Dark Night City has already had a curfew, and there are many patrol troops everywhere in many streets, and there are also a large number of troops patrolling everywhere during the day.

Jiang Yuheng looked at the military garrison map that Shi Xuan had drawn, and also felt the seriousness of the situation, the enemy had a great advantage, and if he wanted to win by fighting on the frontal battlefield, he would probably have to pay a heavy price.

"Let's hand over this military deployment map to General Zhao Yu first, and I'm sure he will make a decision," Jiang Yuheng said.

The map was sent to Yecheng by them overnight, and Zhao Yu soon received the deployment map they detected and launched a comprehensive deployment. Shi Xuan and the others are still on the front line to carry out reconnaissance and tracking, always keeping abreast of the movements of the empire's military advisors.

In the City Lord's Mansion in Night City, General Liang Ming sat firmly in the three armies, and this time she received a large number of heavy weapons and supplies from the Empire, and the guarantee of war was already in place.

"I've been waiting for this battle for so long, and now His Majesty the Emperor has finally made up his mind, within a month, we must capture all the cities around Yecheng, break Yecheng within two months, and within three months, the Tianyang Empire will all be in our hands," Liang Ming said proudly.

"General, our spies have reported that the disciples of the Tianhua Sect have come to Yecheng, I think they will definitely attack us again, how to deal with it?" the general asked.

"The empire has already equipped us with a lot of disciples of the Blood Ring Sect, they will assist us in dealing with the disciples of the Tianhua Sect, with them in our transportation and supply will be much safer, you don't have to worry about this, I want you to clear all the surrounding areas of Anye City within this month, so as to ensure that my army will travel without hindrance," Liang Ming said.

"It's the general, I'm going to prepare for the combat deployment", the general took the military order and walked out of the military tent.

Liang Ming has been thinking about making achievements since he replaced the Shadow Moon King, he thinks that his military talent far surpasses that of the Shadow Moon King, and he wants to prove to His Majesty the Emperor that he is worthy of the title of great general.

Three days later, a large army in the Dark Night City finally dispatched under the leadership of the generals, and launched an attack on the Tianyang Empire city around Anye City, and the war broke out.

In this battle, Liang Ming was determined to establish power, and he captured several cities with thunderous means to strengthen morale.

The war on the front line was finally in full swing, and Zhao Yu ordered his troops to hold the city to consume the enemy's firepower to the greatest extent.

Shi Xuan and Jiang Yuheng witnessed the brutality of the Empire's heavy weapons of war, and the huge catapults continued to bring many heavy arcane ** Thrown to the enemy's position, the originally strong city, suddenly there was a huge gap, a large part of the city wall collapsed, such a destructive power was unimaginable before, before relying on ladders and other siege weapons, each siege consumed a large number of soldiers, and now, they rely on many heavy weapons, easily destroy the enemy's defenses, such a battle, one thing is a one-sided slaughter.

"Senior brother, in such a war, the gap between the strength of the two sides is too large, if you want to deal with them, you must destroy these weapons, otherwise even the stubborn army will not be able to resist it," Shi Xuan said.

"Most of the heavy weapons of the Tianyang Empire are concentrated in Yecheng, and the surrounding city guards are already weak, I can't imagine that the Danyang Empire will not hesitate to spend such a huge amount of firepower, how many spirit saltpeters have they stored?" Jiang Yuheng said.

"Only by finding a way to drag it down, Beicang's mine has been completely closed, this arcane ** will be used a little less, and once these heavy weapons are lost in the future, the empire will lose its biggest reliance, and it will be a war of attrition," Shi Xuan said.

"Let's go back to Yecheng first to discuss with General Zhao Yu to see what his plan is? If this continues, is it not a way?" Jiang Yuheng led Shi Xuan and a few people to leave the frontline position and returned to Yecheng again.

At this moment, Night City was almost at full strength, and many generals led a large army to sweep through many surrounding cities, and for a while, a huge crisis shrouded the heads of many soldiers of the Tianyang Empire, and the huge firepower of the enemy made them unimaginable.

In Yecheng, Zhao Yu didn't feel good at the moment, it was the first time he had seen such terrible firepower for many years of leading troops, such weapons had rewritten the rules of war, and many traditional tactics had become ineffective.

"General, I have never seen such a war as they have taken several cities in a row in the past few days, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, our weapons are not worth mentioning in front of them, the towering walls have been blown down in the blink of an eye, and a large number of soldiers have been surrounded by a sea of fire," said the general.

"War is the ultimate test of a nation's endurance, we must persevere, as soldiers, even if it is a horse leather shroud, the more weapons of war they put in front, the more arcane ** will be consumed, now the mines in Beicang are closed, there is no longer a source, as long as their arcane ** is exhausted, our opportunity will come", Zhao Yu said.

"But at this rate, within a little more than a month, the cities around Yecheng will be completely lost, and our Yecheng will also be in danger," the ministry general worried.

"Mobilize some of our heavy defensive weapons to the frontline cities to provide support, and be sure to slow down their attack," Zhao Yu said.

"Yes, General," the general said.

"Jiang Yuheng, I need your Spirit Master troops to dispatch again, launch a strike against their rear supplies, and try to delay as much time as possible for us," Zhao Yu said.

"We will definitely do our best," Jiang Yuheng said.

The war was still brutal, the two armies continued to go to the front line of the battlefield, and one after another the cities fell, Jiang Yuheng led the Allied Spirit Division troops to the periphery of Night City to launch a full-scale raid.

But in the current imperial army, in order to ensure the safety of transportation, they really sent many disciples of the Blood Ring Sect to follow, Shi Xuan and they fought with them many times in the past few days, and the effect was not very ideal, these disciples of the Blood Ring Sect had a vast army to help, and Shi Xuan's raids were dangerous every time.

On top of a high mountain, Shi Xuan and the others looked at the large pair of transport teams walking under the mountain, they didn't choose to make a move, there were many Blood Ring Sect disciples lurking among the enemy army, they were waiting for them to come and send them to death.

"Let's go, this time they are well prepared, we will force our move, and the casualties are unpredictable", Jiang Yuheng ordered.

"Senior brother, the towering canyon of Thorn Ridge may be able to make good use of it, the terrain there is narrow, and they will inevitably go there when they attack the city in front of them, and we may have a great effect if we set up an ambush there," Shi Xuan said.

"Yes, they have a lot of arcane ** in this truck, once we succeed, I believe the empire will be very painful", Zhao Zhuo said.

"It's okay, their speed is slow, we rushed to Thorn Ridge in advance to ambush", Shi Xuan They gave up this operation and prepared to go to Thorn Ridge.

For them now, they can only rely on the steep terrain to carry out their actions, and only then can they be sure to retreat with their whole body, otherwise once they are surrounded by a large army, they have no chance of winning.

The narrow passages and towering mountains of Thorn Ridge could undoubtedly easily block the encirclement of the Imperial army, such a peak was nothing to a spirit master, but it was a cliff to a soldier.

Thorn Ridge is a unique mountain range, with spike-like stones growing more than a foot high everywhere, these spikes are like thorns, so it is called Thorn Ridge, and the dangerous terrain here is very suitable for them to launch a raid.

Shi Xuan and the others searched everywhere, and finally found a good raid location, the cliffs here are steep, and their spirit master's flexible body jumps up and down like apes, but for the soldiers, they definitely can't come up, even if the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect come up to fight, they are not afraid at all, as long as they do not fall into the encirclement, they are not afraid of the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect.

In the imperial transport team, a pair of disciples of the Blood Ring Sect said proudly: "Those disciples of the Tianhua Sect have not dared to appear until now, they must have been frightened by the previous raids, with us, they dare not come."

"This kind of task is really monotonous, I still look forward to fighting them well, their essence blood will definitely greatly improve my strength", the spirit master who took the lead was full of blood, and killed a lot of people at a glance.

"Senior brother is right, they must be frightened by our prestige, I really don't understand, why did they become one of the five major sects in the Southwest Continent, our Blood Ring Sect is famous, such a ranking should belong to us", someone said.

"This time, the sect master asked us to come here to assist the empire, just to win the Central Plains and make a name for ourselves, and this time our Blood Ring Sect will also be among the super forces in the world," said the man in charge.

"I heard that our sworn enemy, the disciples of the Jingyue Sect also came here, and they still want to strangle us on the battlefield again, it's ridiculous, in the raid a few days ago, I killed three disciples of the Jingyue Sect in succession, and they also want to fight with us, it's ridiculous", one of the disciples said proudly.

"The reputation of the Jingyue Sect in history is no weaker than that of the Tianhua Sect, I didn't expect that one generation is not as good as the next, and by now, it is about to be trampled under the feet of our Blood Ring Sect, which is really insulting the reputation of their ancestors," said the spirit master who took the lead.

This team went to the front line in a mighty way, with the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect following, and the generals who led the team were also a lot more relieved, they had seen the terrible raid of the disciples of the Tianhua Sect, once the mission failed, they would face the punishment of the empire's severe torture, and this time the transport must arrive safely.

The towering mountains of Thorn Ridge were magnificent, the army gradually entered the narrow passage, the battle line was very long, Shi Xuan and they sent disciples early to closely monitor their movements.

"Senior brother, their troops have entered the passage of Thorn Ridge and will soon return to our ambush position", someone said.

"Continue to investigate", Jiang Yuheng commanded the people to bury the arcane ** along the canyon, and this time they must completely destroy this branch of the transport team.

"Almost, with such terrain, the explosion effect will definitely be able to exert the best effect, as long as it is not a spirit master of the Heavenly Vein Realm, they don't want to preserve their good combat power, only death awaits them", many disciples have returned to the ambush circle, ready to launch a surprise attack.

"Everyone is hidden, they are coming," Jiang Yuheng said.

The noise of soldiers and horses moving in the distance had gradually become clear, and the brigade of men and horses passed quickly along the canyon passage, and the carriages and horses made a rumbling sound, and soon the vanguard passed through the canyon where they were, and the army was almost in the encirclement.

On the cliff, Jiang Yuheng issued an arrow, and the people with him received the order, and many spirit masters urged spiritual power, and detonated many buried arcane ** at once, and the violent explosion set off a huge fire along the canyon, countless people were drowned by the firelight, and many stubborn rocks on the thorn ridge canyon rolled down and killed a lot of people, and the huge explosion completely buried this team.

Even those spirit master disciples of the Blood Ring Sect were swept away by the huge explosion at once, and they were thrown on the walls of the canyon fiercely, their spirit masters' defense was amazing, such an ordinary arcane ** was difficult to kill them completely, but it was enough to see many spirit masters seriously injured.

"We have been ambushed, kill them quickly", the spirit master who took the lead was frightened from the ground in embarrassment, looking at the many spirit masters surrounding them on the mountain wall who were completely blinded, they seemed to underestimate this group of spirit masters of the Tianhua Sect.

"I'm fighting with you", the spirit master who took the lead and the surviving disciples of the Blood Ring Sect quickly climbed up the steep mountain wall and started a battle with Shi Xuan and them.

"You are guilty of monstrous crimes, go and accompany them", Shi Xuan turned into a flame god of war, and one terrible flame after another ruthlessly struck many climbing Blood Ring Sect Spirit Masters.

Many of the disciples of the Blood Ring Sect were attacked by the arcane **, and they were injured a lot at this moment, and in the face of Shi Xuan, their spirited spirit masters seemed powerless, and they rolled down the valley one by one with a wail.

They launched a ruthless harvest, these disciples of the Blood Ring Sect finally felt the fear, Jiang Yuheng led many disciples to kill in all directions, colorful aura crisscrossed the world, one after another terrifying aura was active on the cliff of Thorn Ridge, and a corpse rolled down the cliff, this battle Blood Ring Sect finally tasted the lesson of defeat.

The spirit master who took the lead in the Blood Ring Sect watched in despair as many disciples rolled down the cliff, and the vast number of disciples of the Tianhua Sect came over, a desperate emotion instantly haunted their hearts, they Blood Ring Sect came with ambitions, but they didn't expect such a result to be waiting for them.

Jiang Yuheng led his disciples to sweep away their group of spirit masters who attacked the mountain cliff, "There are still a lot of imperial soldiers who have slipped through the net, all of them will be killed, don't leave future troubles", Jiang Yuheng looked at some imperial soldiers who fled in the distance.

A group of disciples chased after the imperial soldiers fleeing in the distance, and Shi Xuan and a few people flew down the cliff and came to a canyon full of messes, many chariots and horses were all blown up, and all the scattered supplies fell to the ground.

"Senior brother still has a lot of materials that can be used, let's inform General Zhao Yu to come and clean up the battlefield, these materials are also very important to us," said a disciple.

"Be fast, the empire should know about the situation here soon, if they send someone to clear it, we will be in danger," Jiang Yuheng said.

Soon, he rushed to Yecheng to inform General Zhao Yu to send someone to transport this batch of expensive materials, and there were many arcane **, food, and ordnance.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Yu sent a group of soldiers to the Thorn Ridge overnight to clean up the battlefield, Shi Xuan and they did not leave immediately, escorted them along the way, several surrounding cities were occupied by the Danyang Empire, Shi Xuan They did not dare to take it lightly.

Shi Xuan and the others mingled among the carriages and horses to escort them along the way, passing through quickly, and sure enough, an imperial patrol force discovered their tracks and launched a pursuit of them.

"General, you lead the troops to go first, and the soldiers here are handed over to us", Jiang Yuheng was not willing to give these supplies to others, they decided to stop this army.

The escorted general led his men and horses to Yecheng quickly, and they sent people to Yecheng to ask for support.

Shi Xuan's group of spirit masters numbered more than two hundred people, and they were extremely strong, and they started a big battle with the patrolling imperial soldiers.

"Quickly inform the general, let them lead the team of spirit masters to come to support", the soldiers of the empire found that they were not ordinary soldiers, they were some powerful spirit masters, and in a moment they were under a large number of soldiers, even if they formed a strong defensive formation, it was difficult to resist.

"The brothers are quick to fight, and their reinforcements will arrive soon," Jiang said.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo's momentum skyrocketed in an instant, countless powerful spiritual qi skills emerged one after another, the enemy's military formation collapsed in an instant, and many people let out screams under his blazing fire, and this patrol team quickly pulled out and fled everywhere.

"Poor Kou Mo chase, let's go quickly, their army is nearby", Jiang Yuheng stopped a few disciples who wanted to pursue, and quickly fled towards Yecheng.

Soon the Empire's cavalry of more than 2,000 men was slaughtered quickly, and when they arrived at the battlefield, they were left with corpses all over the ground.

"Damn, they are spirit masters, they have already escaped, we will chase", the general who took the lead quickly chased towards Yecheng, this time he led a large number of spirit masters to launch a pursuit.

Shi Xuan and the others quickly chased after their transport team, and the enemy's cavalry was lightly armed, extremely fast, and they did not dare to slack off.

"Senior brother, their cavalry is coming, we try to delay time, otherwise, our transport team will be caught up by them", Shi Xuan listened.

"Using all the arcane ** we carry can delay for a moment," Jiang Yuheng shouted.

Many disciples took out the remaining arcane ** and buried them along the way, and then quickly left.

The enemy cavalry pursued them, "their team is ahead, chase them quickly, be sure to stop them", the general shouted, as if he saw a piece of fat that reached his mouth.

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded, and their cavalry was attacked by the arcane **, and many people and horses were knocked to the ground by the huge explosion, and the team was suddenly chaotic.

"Steady, everyone steady, their arcane ** is just to delay our time, the rest follow me to pursue", the march soon found that there were not many **, these ** were just delaying time.

Their cavalry was in hot pursuit, and the speed of the Tianyang Empire's chariots and horses was relatively slow, "General, their cavalry is about to catch up, how can our infantry resist the cavalry's attack?"
