These five thousand golden feather knights are gone, which is indeed very sad and a pity. But the current losses are still under control. It's just that the Golden Feather Knight under his command can't afford another loss. He had to keep these people on guard against any eventuality.

He was a suspicious person, especially after the Golden Feather Knight's rebellion, he couldn't trust anyone.

Prince Chung had a similar idea. It's a pity that the three thousand heavy armored soldiers fought out, but their sacrifice was worth it, after all, the five thousand golden feather knights equipped with Heavenly Ugin were too sharp, if it wasn't for the heavy armored cavalry but the ordinary cavalry or infantry, the losses would be even more heavy. Fortunately, he rebelled against some Golden Feather Knights, otherwise today's situation is really difficult to say.

When the battle lasted for a while, Prince Zhong made up his mind to sacrifice the heavy cavalry and the Golden Feather Knights who had taken refuge in him, and completely wiped out the remaining Golden Feather Knights. Such a redemption, Prince Zhong thinks it is worthwhile. If he had sent other teams to help, he might have saved some of the heavy cavalry, but the casualties of these troops would have been significant. He wants to preserve his vital strength and maintain a great deterrent to the imperial city.

Now that the perimeter of the Imperial City has been cleared, the inevitable siege battle will follow. Heavy cavalry, although strong, was of little use in siege warfare. He would rather keep his fresh army and let the heavy cavalry and the golden-feathered knights fight to the death.

Both sides have the same idea, both want to preserve their vitality and deal with each other. But such a battle is undoubtedly very stupid in the eyes of those experienced generals. Is it a war to allow one's own army to kill the last man against the other side, even though there are reinforcements?

It's just that the people standing at the front, one is the loyal prince who is under one person and above ten thousand, and the other is the supreme ruler of the empire, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who dares to question them face to face?

In the eyes of these visionary figures, they don't care if they can win a longer future at the expense of an army.

What the officers see in their eyes is the victory or loss of a war, and in the eyes of these big men, what they see is the victory or defeat of the entire battle.

They watched sadly and indignantly as their comrades fell in pools of blood one by one, but they could only just watch.

In the first confrontation between the two sides, the Holy Emperor lost 5,000 of the most elite Golden Feather Knights, and Prince Zhong also lost the strongest 3,000 heavy armor soldiers. There is no winner between the two.

"In the battle just now, our army annihilated the other party's most elite 5,000 knights with 3,000 heavy armor, they are good! Our army is mighty!" Prince Zhong raised the long sword in his hand, pointed at the sky, and his voice full of energy came out from afar.

Although it was a lose-lose situation, judging from the losses of both sides, Prince Zhong still had a slight advantage. Of course, if he hadn't rebelled against some of the Golden Feather Knights, they would have been defeated. Such a victory seems somewhat unfair-minded on the battlefield, but war is always like this, only caring about the result, and the process is not important. Whether it is a deception or a trick, winning is winning, and this is understandable.

"Mighty, mighty, mighty!" the tens of thousands of rebels behind him shouted in unison!

"Song Xingtian, this is the result of your greed for the dragon chair and your refusal to abdicate. Wouldn't you be ashamed to let so many warriors be buried for your selfish desires?" Prince Zhong glared at the Holy Emperor on the castle tower and shouted angrily.

"Since I ascended the throne, the country and the people have been safe, the wind and rain have been smooth, you go and ask the common people, do they want to fight? For their own selfish desires, they brazenly launched wars and plunged the entire imperial capital into a bloody storm, you are right!"

"Hahahaha! Song Xingtian, seeing that he can't beat me, is he trying to do it with his tongue now? Don't think that you are standing on the moral high ground, you used despicable means to snatch the throne that belongs to me at the beginning, and now I just want to get back what belongs to me! For a thief, a conspirator, and a thief who steals the country, I can't do too much! The culprit who has put the imperial capital in the current situation is you! You robbed me of my things at the beginning, and now I will snatch them back, everything is justified!"

"Hehe, I am the rightful heir recognized by the emperor, how can I rob you of your position? Rebellion is rebellion, don't find such an excuse!"

"No matter how clever your words are, it will be difficult to stop the fate of your defeat! Today, this king's soldiers are coming to the city, and wherever the army goes, anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!" Prince Zhong shouted murderously: "A lonely city, a lonely army, a guardian circle with a limited duration, just rely on these, how long can you defend? If you still delusionally think that the local army will come to King Qin, then you are too naïve!" The Northern Storm Field Legion, which is closest to the Imperial Capital, the cavalry is fully armed and galloping to the aid of the starry night, and it will take three days to reach the Imperial Capital, and when the time comes, they may only be able to see your charred corpse!"

The Holy Emperor said coldly: "My life is here, if you have the ability, you might as well take a look." ”

Prince Chung knew in his heart that this coup d'état had to be resolved quickly. The Holy Emperor can afford to drag it, but he can't afford it.

Although he has 150,000 central troops in the imperial capital, this is already all he relies on, and most of the local troops who defend the territory and border are loyal to the empire. In their eyes, the Holy Emperor is the representative of the Empire. It was categorically impossible for them to be on the side of Prince Chung. If it drags on for three or five days, when the local armies from all directions arrive in the imperial capital and form a siege with the Praetorian Guards in the imperial city, it will be Prince Hezhong's troops who will become the lone army at that time.

Only by quickly breaking through the imperial city, capturing or killing the Holy Emperor before the local army rushes to help, and then ascending the throne as soon as possible, cooking raw rice into rice, then everything will be a foregone conclusion, even if the local army arrives in the imperial capital, it will not start a war with him.

Now, they're all in a race against time. If the Holy Emperor dragged on until the time when reinforcements arrived, then the final victory would be his. If Prince Chung breaches the Imperial City before reinforcements arrive, then he will become the new Holy Emperor of the Empire.

However, after the first tragic confrontation between the two sides, the Holy Emperor let all his troops hide in the imperial city, even if he saw the five thousand golden-feathered knights being annihilated, he couldn't resist sending troops out to reinforce them, and the idea of preserving the living force and shrinking the defense was to fight. The periphery of the imperial city is solid, the city walls are high and thick, and they are defended according to danger, coupled with the help of the powerful guardian array, if you want to rely on conventional methods to break the city in a short time, there is basically no such possibility.

Prince Chung was also aware of this, and he had obviously fully considered the situation, so he was ready for it.

Problems that ordinary people can't solve, leave them to the strong to solve, this is already a common practice in the war of the Nebula Continent.

"Second Emperor Brother, the two people behind you are both strong men of the palace guardian family left over from the Holy Ancestor Era, right? Don't forget, I also used to live in the palace, so I won't be unprepared for this. Prince Zhong's face was solemn, and he said coldly: "Mr. Simon, now is the time to trouble you. ”

As soon as the words fell, in the camp behind him, a silver figure suddenly rose into the sky, fast, so fast that people couldn't see the reality clearly, it seemed that an afterimage swept through the air, and then fell on the high platform under the city.

Everyone could see clearly that this man was dressed in a silver shirt, holding a long sword with a sheath in his arms, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he seemed to be lazily unable to lift his spirits. It's just such a person, but his body exudes a murderous aura that is like a substance! Song Li felt that under the persecution of this murderous aura, the cold hairs on his body stood up in an instant!

"This ...... Could this be the 'silver-clothed sword saint' Ximen Chong who is rampaging across the continent?" Song Xinghai, the king of Ming, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Silver-clothed Sword Saint Ximen Chong, what is the origin of this person?" Song Li asked curiously.

"Most of the cultivators on the continent are pursuing the way of heaven and earth. The way of heaven and earth is vast and vast, but manpower is sometimes poor. Therefore, there are also some people who devote their lives to the study of a kind of thing, and they believe that everything in heaven and earth has a Tao, and the Tao is essentially the same between the Tao. Since things exist between heaven and earth, the Tao that is comprehended from them must also be the way of heaven and earth. This silver-clothed sword saint Ximen Chong is a swordsman who has only studied kendo all his life. ”

Song Xinghai paused for a moment and continued: "This silver-clothed sword saint suffered misfortune when he was a child, so his temperament is a little extreme when he becomes an adult. not only killed the former enemies all over the house, but also set a record of killing forty-nine kendo powerhouses in a month. But any swordsman who wields a sword, as long as he touches him, unless you cultivate higher than him, it will be the end of the body and head in a different place. ”

"Because he was too murderous, some people gave him the nickname 'Sword Shura'. However, his attainments in the way of the sword have indeed reached the pinnacle, and he has reached the holy level of the way of the sword! Anyone who knows him well is called the 'sword saint'. (http：／／）。 However, there are not many people on the continent who are called Sword Saints, but they are not nothing, and in order to distinguish him from others, everyone calls him 'Silver Sword Saint'. Because he likes to wear silver clothes. ”

Song Li nodded, it seems that this brother Tai under the imperial city is really a bullish character.

"How did this silver-clothed sword saint get together with Prince Zhong?" this was the question in Song Li's heart.

"I don't know the specific situation, the silver-clothed sword saint has an arrogant and extreme temperament, and he will never be attached to anyone or any force in his life, and he has always been alone. He and Prince Zhong should not be subordinate. Maybe he owes Prince Zhong a favor, or maybe the two sides have some common interests involved. Song Xinghai frowned slightly, Prince Zhong had this evil star by his side, it was indeed very tricky.

"Mr. Simon, this is the last agreement between you and me, please cut off the head of this faint king for me!"
