Two years later, autumn.

The holy capital, the wild goose back to the south of the Moon River.

The sky is clear and cloudless, the autumn sun is brilliant, and the golden wind is cool, and it is a beautiful autumn day. A flock of geese flew from north to south, and when they passed over the pass, they let out a few crisp long chirps.

Autumn is so beautiful, but what is happening on the ground is not beautiful at all. Two large groups of troops were facing each other in front of the pass, both sides were bowed and swords unsheathed, and the battle clouds were thick, and a great battle was about to break out.

Arrayed in the north were 50,000 imperial troops, and the Shenwu Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion among the three major battalions of the imperial capital had arrived, each with distinct armor and swords and guns. At the beginning are the number of military men who do not seem to be much, but they are all very strong, and the big banner held by the standard-bearer indicates the name of this army - Wolf Guard!

Standing in front of the array of wolf guards was a knight in armor, his face covered by a tight visor, making it impossible to see his true face. He was silent, holding a large knife in his hand, the blade was bright and murderous.

The flag bearer next to him waved his flag, a big forest character. There is no doubt that this is the new great of the Empire.

The number of the Holy Capital Army on the opposite side was much smaller, less than 30,000. Although their armor was just as bright and their morale was high, the numerical inferiority hung over them like a shadow anyway.

The sound of hooves is there. A military general gathered in the formation of the Holy Capital Army, and came to the front of the formation and shouted: "The one who leads the troops on the other side, come forward and answer!"

Amid the sound of salute music, a wide avenue parted in the imperial army's formation, and Lan Tai, dressed in golden helmets and golden armor, rode out slowly on horseback surrounded by a group of generals and attendants. He was already the emperor of the empire at this time, and behind him was the close attendant Cheng Lian on the left, and on the right was the imperial marshal Wu Peng. Wu Peng was followed by a beautiful girl in silver armor with ice blue eyes, who was as cold as frost.

Under the attention of everyone, a group of people from Lantai slowly came to the front of the formation and slowly stopped their horses.

Suddenly there was a thunderous cry in the Imperial Army: "Hurray, hooray, hooray!"

The cries of 50,000 soldiers were like a tsunami from a mountain, shaking people's eardrums and making a terrifying sound. The Holy Capital Army on the opposite side almost all changed color and looked at each other.

This formation...... It's terrifying, isn't it?

Lan Tai slowly raised the golden horsewhip in his hand. The cries of the Imperial Army immediately stopped, as if they had been cut by scissors, and the end was extremely neat. The military appearance and military discipline of the Imperial Army can be seen from this.

Lan Tai laughed, raised his voice and shouted at the military general of the Holy Capital opposite: "Who are you?

A trace of uneasiness flashed on the face of the military general of the Holy Capital, and then he calmed down and said loudly: "Although you are the emperor of the Imperial Capital, you are the general of the Holy Capital, and it is not under your control! Your imperial army forcibly crossed the Moon River for no reason, invaded the land of our Holy Capital, and committed acts of banditry, why don't I dare to shout at you!"

Lan Tai laughed and said, "Bandits, no, I'm here to rescue you!"

Without waiting for the generals of the Holy Capital to refute, he immediately said: "Since I ascended, I have swept the Flying Fox in the north, and the so-called invincible Flying Fox Iron Horse fled from the wind, and the prestige of the world is unparalleled in the sea! My prestige is all over the empire, and the people are rejoicing, and they are singing praises of my merits everywhere, but your demon capital is still under the poison of the demon girl, and the people are not able to make a living, and the people are mourning all over the wilderness! I sympathize with you very much, so I lead the victorious army, cross the Moon River in the south, and rescue you from the poison of the demon girl!"

The military general of the Holy Capital said loudly: "What nonsense! Talking about the invasion of our Holy Capital is so high-sounding, your face is not ordinarily thick! We don't need your rescue, hurry up and go back to your empire, otherwise the thousands of soldiers and civilians in our Holy Capital will bury your bones in a foreign land and die a restless death!"

Lan Tai laughed: "If you are stubborn, then you are welcome!"

Hearing the Emperor's shout, the newly-clad warrior thrust his broadsword into the ground and grabbed a huge bow and arrow from the saddle. Before the others could understand what was going on, they heard a whoosh, and a huge feather arrow rushed to the front of the Holy Capital military general like lightning, directly penetrating the armor, piercing a bloody hole in his heart. The general screamed, knocked off his horse, and blood spurted wildly from his mouth, and he was probably not alive.

Lan Tai laughed: "Don't measure yourself, dare to speak disrespectfully to me! This is the end!"

In the horror of the Holy Capital Army, Lan Tai waved the golden horse whip in his hand: "Go! kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

Hearing the emperor's order, the soldiers of the Imperial Army shouted loudly and rushed towards the Holy Capital Army on the opposite side. Rushing to the front was the three thousand wolf guards led by General Dingnan himself, followed by the Xiaocai battalion, and finally the Shenwu battalion...... One by one, the 50,000 soldiers had their eyes lit up, and their mouths were shouting, and they rushed madly towards the opposite formation.

There was chaos in the Holy Capital Army, which had lost the command of the general, some people moved forward, some people went backwards, and the originally neat queue quickly became a mess. Just a moment later, the formation of the Holy Capital Army was gone, and it was overwhelmed by the Imperial Army that rushed in with a wild shout......

"How many falls in one day?"

On the Shenyue Hall in the Holy Capital, the Holy Maiden who was sitting cross-legged on a chair asked softly.

Ling Ye stood next to her, bowed down and said, "Yes." The Imperial Army was menacing, attacking in many places at the same time, and their emperor himself went on the expedition. Our front line could not resist, and they captured several cities and passes. ”

"What about our casualties?" asked the Holy Maiden, with her eyes slightly closed.

Ling Ye heard that the Holy Maiden didn't ask anything else, but first asked about the dead and wounded, and her heart couldn't help but warm, and she replied: "According to the battle report, the Imperial Army is crazy and slashes and kills, and our soldiers are killed or wounded seven or eight times out of ten, and only a few people can escape back. The people of the lost areas were plundered by the Imperial Army, and many young and middle-aged people were killed, saying that they wanted to destroy our army. ”

The saint sighed and said, "Alas, human life is nothing but grass mustard in the face of Lan Tai's ambition!"

Ling Ye bowed his head and said, "Yes." It's a pity that he didn't kill him in the first place, leaving behind this great disaster, which led to today's disaster. ”

The saint waved her hand lightly: "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself." You didn't kill people easily, it's your kindness, not your fault. ”

Ling Ye said: "Killing the root cause of the war and saving many people from catastrophe is the greatest mercy!"

The saint shook her head slightly: "At that time, how could you have known that he would have such a great change today?"

Ling Ye lowered his head and said, "If you want to talk about great changes, Marshal Wu Peng of the empire and his righteous daughter are cold as frost, that is the real great change. They were originally Lan Tai's sworn enemies, but now they are all attacking us with Lan Tai!"

The saint said softly: "There is no such thing in the world without a reason. Wu Peng's allegiance to Lan Tai and his command of the army to attack us is just something he has always wanted to do! Lan Tai gave him this opportunity, why didn't he do it?"
