When Lin Muyu returned to Zhongnan City with the remnants of the demon clan, it was already close to noon, and the snow was falling, Tang Xiaoxi led the elite cavalry of the gentian battalion in Zhongnan City to meet twenty miles outside the city, and the two sides met on the snow field.

Seeing Lin Muyu's safe return, Tang Xiaoxi was relieved.

However, when Tang Xiaoxi's gaze fell on Qianfeng, Qianfeng was still a little cramped and embarrassed.

"The general of the defeated army, the shallow wind, see His Highness Xi. He saluted respectfully, with the etiquette of the demon clan to the princess.

"No need to be polite, I'm not Feng Yuan's daughter. ”

Tang Xiaoxi smiled faintly and said, "And Feng Yuan has always treated me as a daughter, all you want is the demonic power in my body." ”

Qianfeng was a little stunned: "Is the Lord of Xijun still holding a grudge against what the Protoss did to you back then?"

"I will never forget. ”

Tang Xiaoxi turned over and got on his horse, the red cloak swirled in the snow, turned around and glanced at Qianfeng deeply, and said, "If it weren't for your Holy Master and Yaoji, I wouldn't have killed Xiao Yin, and I will never forget this hatred for the rest of my life." Qianfeng, now the union between humans and demons is just Mu Mu's meaning, I respect King Qin's wishes, but it doesn't mean that I don't hate demons. ”

Qianfeng laughed at himself: "It's okay, I am the marshal of the Protoss, and now Your Majesty and the two princesses have died, and their heads are in different places, and their heads are missing, so it is not too much to vent all the hatred on my Qianfeng." ”

Lin Muyu came over with the reins of the war horse, stretched out his hand and pressed Tang Xiaoxi's leg on the horse's back, and said, "Xiaoxi, don't say it, at this time and that time, some accounts are not fair to him on Qianfeng's head." ”

Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said softly, "Well, I know." ”

Lin Muyu looked at Qianfeng again and said, "The heads of Feng Yuan, Feng Jing'er, and Feng Ning'er were sent to Winter Frost City by the Tianji Empire as gifts, and I have already ordered them to be buried in the same manner as the king of the Great Qin Empire." ”

"Really?"

Qianfeng's subconscious body trembled, and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qin...... When I settle down, can I pay my respects to Your Majesty and the two princesses?"

"That's your freedom. ”

Lin Muyu exhaled and said, "Everyone has been walking all night, hurry up and go into Zhongnan City to eat something hot, otherwise I'm afraid many people will get sick." ”

"Good. ”

Tang Xiaoxi said, "Mu Mu, do you really want to allow these demons to enter Zhongnan City?"

Her meaning is self-evident, three months ago, the demons were still fighting with the empire in the Eight Wastelands, and they were mortal enemies of each other, but now they want the two armies to coexist peacefully, I'm afraid many people will not be able to accept this fact.

"Xiaoxi, what do you think?" asked Lin Muyu.

Tang Xiaoxi pursed his red lips: "The Gentian Battalion and the army of the Zhongnan family have fought repeatedly, and they have long had a deep grudge, if they are allowed to enter Zhongnan City, I am afraid that friction will inevitably occur, I think it is better to let Qianfeng lead the demon army to be stationed in the town outside the city, where there are enough houses, and food can be transported from Zhongnan City." ”

"What does Marshal Qianfeng mean?" Lin Muyu asked.

Qianfeng's expression was calm: "Your Highness can call me Qianfeng, the Protoss has been defeated, and I am no longer a marshal." As for the station, it all depends on the arrangement of His Highness. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Lin Muyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Protoss will rise again, let's get through this period first, besides...... I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in the South Central City for long. ”

"Why?" Tang Xiaoxi asked in astonishment.

Lin Muyu's eyes fell on the northern snowy region, revealing a trace of helplessness and sadness, and said: "Zhongnan City is located on the Eight Wastelands, and the north of the Eight Wastelands is the Snow Domain, but there is no danger to defend at all, and the few passes are only a few meters high, if we stick to the Eight Wastelands, the losses will be very heavy." ”

"What do you mean, Mu Mu?"

"Prepare to retreat to the Tsutenxia Gorge. ”

Qianfeng was shocked: "Does His Highness the Rain want to give up a huge Eight Wastelands to the Tianji Empire?"

"We don't have a choice. Lin Muyu dusted off the snow on his shoulders, took the reins of the snow and said: "The Gentian Battalion can't be meaninglessly lost, last night's battle, presumably there were a lot of people on the side of the defense of revenge, right?"

Tang Xiaoxi was a little gloomy, and said: "In order to save these people from the Demon Clan, from last night to now, more than 13,000 people have been killed in the battle in the snowy region, and more than half of the more than 6,000 people who came back were injured, and even Wei Qiu himself was seriously injured, and now he is resting in Zhongnan City, just one night, our wounded battalion and medicine are no longer enough." ”

"Ah......h

Lin Muyu's heart ached, and his fists clenched.

Qianfeng frowned, and said: "It's all my fault for letting the Gentian Battalion suffer such losses, please rest assured, Your Highness Yu, the Tianji Empire will destroy my entire clan, but I, Qianfeng, have a breath, and I will definitely fight with the Tianji Empire to the end!"

"Well, let's keep our strength and let's go. ”

Lin Muyu turned over and said, "Come on, send more scouts to investigate the situation of the Longji Corps, and in addition, send scout war eagles to reconnoiter along the coast." ”

"Yes!"

The wind and snow were shaking, and the team walked towards the direction of Zhongnan City.

Zhongnan City, this thousand-year-old ancient city wall is mottled, it is like an old man standing on the northern border of the mainland, when the strong enemy arrives, this old man seems so vulnerable, it is impossible to stop the attack of the iron hooves of Zhongnan City.

The shallow wind department arranged to go into the town to rest, although it is only a ruined town, but for the demons who have been living in the frozen polar region for months, it is like heaven, to be able to drink a sip of hot water, eat a fragrant steamed bun is so luxurious for them, even the face of the marshal of the shallow wind is very ugly, it is obviously due to the lack of nutrition.

Walking on the main street of Zhongnan City, the horses' hooves stepped on the thick snow, and the sound of rustling continued.

"Is Dragon Emperor Douxuan really not afraid of the Demon Crystal Cannon?" Tang Xiaoxi thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

Lin Muyu nodded: "Yes, Marshal Qianfeng can prove it." ”

Qianfeng's face was miserable, and he said: "Dragon Douxuan seems to be the natural nemesis of the magic crystal, we dispatched five hundred winged brothers to launch a suicide attack, but they did not receive even the slightest effect, they used their lives to prove the truth of the dragon Douxuan to restrain the magic crystal." ”

"It's not just them. ”

Tang Xiaoxi said in a calm voice: "There are also more than 10,000 martyred soldiers in the Gentian Battalion, and they are also bloodstained on the battlefield because of the power of the Dragon Imperial Douxuan. ”

Qianfeng was a little silent, and after a few seconds, he said lightly: "I'm sorry." ”

Lin Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable, Tang Xiaoxi's hatred for the demon clan was far deeper than he imagined, and this battle was indeed because of the relationship between the demons and the Gentian Battalion lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers, which was also a heavy blow to the imperial army, but Lin Muyu knew very well in his heart that he had to reconcile this contradiction, otherwise it would cause a big disaster in the future.

"Xiaoxi, the demons are also the victims. He looked at Tang Xiaoxi beside him, his eyes softened, and said: "Just imagine, the tens of thousands of troops of the Longji Legion cooperated with the Tianji Dragoon Regiment to cross the Northern Glacier Continental Bridge, in order to make a surprise attack, and it happened that the army of the Demon Clan encountered them in the north, in fact, it was the Demon Clan who blocked this sword for our Great Qin Empire, in a sense, we must also be grateful for the sacrifice made by the Demon Clan." ”

Tang Xiaoxi opened her mouth in astonishment and muttered her head, Lin Muyu's words woke up the dreamer, making her make some changes in an instant.

Qianfeng's voice was very bitter: "It's a pity that the price of this sacrifice is the lives of His Majesty and the two Highnesses of my clan. ”

"Ning'er is my friend, I won't let her die in vain. ”

Tang Xiaoxi looked at the sky in the distance with a pair of beautiful eyes, clenched his pink fists, and a faint flame lingered around him, and said: "The Longji Regiments killed Ning Er, I will definitely settle this account with them, and repay the blood debt!"

"Yes, blood debt and blood repayment!" Shallow Wind gritted his teeth.

Lin Muyu was silent, what he was thinking about was when to retreat, Zhongnan City would definitely not be able to stay, once the main force of the Tianji Empire crossed the sea, it would be able to form an encirclement of Zhongnan City in the blink of an eye, and it would be difficult for me to leave at that time.

At this time, he had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Zhongnan City, and Wei Qiu had gauze bandaged on his shoulders and walked out with the support of several guards.

"Defend the enemy. ”

Lin Muyu stepped forward.

Wei Qiu fell to the ground with weak legs, tears flowing: "Your Highness, my subordinates are incompetent, and I have killed more than 10,000 brothers in the Gentian Battalion, and I can't even recover their bodies, this is all my revenge!"

Behind him, a group of senior generals of the Gentian battalion knelt down together, basically everyone had injuries on their bodies and was in a state of embarrassment.

Lin Muyu doesn't remember how long the Gentian Battalion hasn't suffered such a defeat, since the empire researched the magic crystal cannon, the Gentian Battalion has begun to win a hundred battles, but last night's battle made everyone feel terrified, and the gap in absolute strength almost completely crushed their self-confidence and morale, and the next major thing seems to be not how to evacuate, but how to rebuild morale.

"Defend your revenge, get up. ”

Lin Muyu turned over and dismounted, helped Wei Qiu up, and said: "The soldiers who died in the battle are all warriors of the empire, they died for the country, and their names will always be recorded in the Zhenguo Monument Forest, hurry up, the ground is cold." ”

"Your Highness. ”

Wei Qiu wiped away a handful of tears and said, "Your Highness, they are too strong......"

"I know, let's go in and eat something first. ”

"Yes!"

"Come on, write a feather book and send it back to the Eastern Capital, and inform King Xin and King Zhong that they dare to defend against the magic crystal cannon completely by the Dragon Imperial Douxuan, and let them prepare as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

After entering the hall, several tables of food have been laid down, but only the food has no wine, the gentian camp has failed miserably, and no one will have the heart to drink today, nor can they taste the taste of fine wine.

Qianfeng sat next to Lin Muyu, looking at the delicacies on the table, and his heart was bitter.

Eat......

I don't know what to eat.

But his body needed to replenish nutrients, so Qianfeng ate a lot, so that many captains of the Gentian Battalion cast disdainful glances.

Shallow Wind just lowered his head and ate his food, gulping it down, as if swallowing hatred and shame together.
