Within the imperial study in the Western District's imperial court, only Mu Rong Bo Wen and Zuo Qian were sitting. At this moment, Zuo Qian had also received Lan Cang's letter and sat down on a chair.

"What is it? "What happened?" When Murong Bo Wen saw Zuo Qian's dejected look, he was shocked in his heart. He snatched the letter from Zuo Qian's hands. After he finished reading the contents, he did not lose out to Zuo Qian. However, there was some panic in his eyes.

"What should we do? Lord Murong, what should we do?" The prime minister of the country didn't seem to have any sense of propriety as he mumbled to himself. Mu Rongbo didn't say anything as well as if he was thinking of something. Zuo Qian looked at Mu Rong Bo Wen's expression and seemed to be thinking of something.

"Murong Bowen, that Mu Rong Xiu must have some tricks up his sleeves." Zuo Dong looked at Murong Bo as if he had found his lifeline, and Mu Rong Bo Wen turned his head to look at Zuo Qian as well.

"That's right, the Regent does have a team of elites here." When Murong Bo Wen said this, Zuo Qian didn't have time to be happy. Thus, he continued to listen to Murong Bo Wen.

"However, there's only a thousand of them. There's at least thirty thousand of them outside right now. I'm afraid they'll only be able to hold them off for a short while." In his heart, he couldn't help but feel helpless. These thousand elites had been sent here by Murong Xiu to guard against the left wing, yet they were being used to defend against the Northern Yue Army's horses. Even if they could drag it out, how long could they drag it out?

"No matter what, we should still delay them a bit. What is Lord Murong planning to do?" Zuo Dong also knew that this team was probably a group of powerful elites left behind by Murong Xiu, but they had thirty thousand people. Zuo Dong also knew that it wasn't very useful, but the imperial guards had at least ten thousand men.

"That depends on how it's used. You just wait here, I'll go make the arrangements." As Murong Buwen spoke, he walked out. At this moment, time was the most precious moment. No one knew when the sky had darkened! After Zuo Zi saw Murong Bowen walk out, he stood up and clenched his fists …

This place could be said to be even more tightly guarded than the western part of the city. This was also Murong Xiu's way of doing things, and he would not allow anyone to enter this place, because he had his own secrets, and now that Murong Bo Wen had come here, he did not stop him in the slightest.

"Soul, immediately bring out all of the Shaman Guards here." He was the younger brother of the Soul, and had been personally trained by Murong Xiu. Naturally, Murong Bo Wen knew the relationship between these two and had some respect for the Soul.

"Lord Murong, is someone betraying us right now?" Soul asked in surprise.

"No. It's just that something big is happening right now. The Northern Yue army has already taken over the Western Desert City." Murong Buwen said anxiously.

"Ah, this …" The Soul began to hesitate. Earlier, Murong Xiu had told him that he couldn't use his remaining Soul Guard unless there was a rebellion, and his one thousand Soul Guards were the elite of the elite. Soul didn't know that his big brother's ten thousand Soul Guard elites were already dead unless it was absolutely necessary.

"With my big brother here, it should be fine, right?" After thinking for a while, he said.

Brother Chi, you don't know this, but your big brother's ten thousand elite soldiers have all been brought into the army by our lord. Right now, the army is so tight that you must all hurry up and move. Murong Bowen also said that Murong Xiu had moved out.

"Alright! I will immediately summon my men. " Although Soul was inculcated with the need to obey Murong Xiu's decisions, at critical moments, as long as there were major matters related to Murong Xiu, Soul would still think for himself. Moreover, at this moment, Murong Qingwen was also here, so he knew the relationship between Murong Xiu and Murong Rong Bowen.

"Everyone listen up!" With a single command from the Soul Refining Sect, the Soul Protectors, who were currently in the midst of training, swiftly engaged in battle. Then, they stared straight at the Soul Refining Sect with terrifying murderous intent.

"There's a tough battle today!" "Come with me!" After which, he directly left the courtyard. The elite guards did not say a single word as well. At this moment, they could only hear the rhythmic footsteps and not a single word. The quality of these people were actually this strong.

"Brother Bowen, how many people are there in total?" As Soul looked at the black mass below the city gate tower, he noticed that Dusk had already been removed from the tower. However, it was likely that the enemy would arrive soon.

"There should be more than thirty thousand. Brother Soul, see if there's any chance of victory in this battle." Murong Bo Wen said as he looked at Soul with uncertainty.

"Difficult!" Soul looked down at the thirty thousand troops. These were the elite troops led by Lan Cang. Naturally, they weren't something an ordinary soldier could stop. Soul could only spit out one word.

"It is indeed a little difficult. However, right now, we can only rely on you two." Murong Buwen paused for a moment before continuing.

"I will send all the imperial guards to the inner palace to be the vanguard. You guys stay at the back and don't ask for help. All you need to do is delay until the lord returns." Murong Bowen actually wanted to use the ten thousand imperial guards as cannon fodder, and after hearing Soul talk about the difficulties, he had some confidence. This battle was indeed difficult, but with a thousand people fighting thirty thousand people, Soul actually said the word "difficult," so Soul still had some confidence.

"Good, then let's fight first. When they feel that we can charge into the city, we'll attack first. Brother Bowen, you can call the imperial guards to attack us now." At this moment, Soul Master had an idea.

"Alright, I'll go now." Murong Bo Wen also knew that this matter couldn't be delayed so he immediately ran off.

"General Wang, there's going to be a tough battle today. You must hold on!" When Murong Bo Wen arrived at the center of the imperial guards, he found the commander of the imperial guards, General Wang.

"Lord Murong, don't worry. This subordinate will definitely fight to the death." General Wang also knew that there would be no return to this battle, but he had no other choice. He could only fight.

"Alright, then Bo Wen will pay his respects to the general here. I hope the general can come back victorious." Murong Bowen said with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Lord Murong." General Wang nodded in agreement and looked at the ten thousand imperial guards.

"Brothers, it's time to show off your battle achievements. Follow me and charge!" As soon as Lieutenant Wang finished his words, the imperial guards rushed out with a loud shout. When the city gates opened, Lan Cang and his group did not expect that these people would actually dare to rush out.

"Li Zhen, you will lead twenty thousand men to destroy them." Lan Cang looked at the menacing imperial guards and said to Li Zhen.

"Yes, marshal, the final general's order!" Li Zhen cupped his hands and immediately roared.

"Brothers, break this Western City."

"Kill!"

"Brother Yong, this is probably the last battle. Let's kill to our heart's content."

"Haha, good, who's the hero and who's the hero? Let's see who kills the most on the battlefield." The elite called the Braveheart also rushed to the front of the group.

Lan Cang, on the other hand, was looking up at the city. At this moment, his soul had met Lan Cang's eyes and a fighting spirit was instantly revealed in their eyes. After all, the soul was not the same as the soul, as it wasn't influenced by Mu Rong Xiu's dark thoughts, and towards the person who could fight with him, it would ignite his own fanaticism. At this moment, Lan Cang's eyes were clearly asking for his battle spirit.

"I didn't think that Murong Xiu would really have some tricks up his sleeves. You're the one." At this moment, the twenty thousand men led by Li Zhen had been engaged in a bitter battle with the imperial guards. After all, these imperial guards were not people that Murong Xiu had personally trained to fight.

"Haha, I didn't expect your imperial guards to be like watermelons." Li Zhen also received the spear from General Wang with one hand and then with a swing of his sword, cut a hole in General Wang's body.

"Hmph, cut the crap." General Wang also realized that he was no match for this person. However, they were already at the brink of battle. There was no way to dodge at all. He had to give it his all! General Wang roared in his heart as he prepared to use all his strength to charge at Li Zhen decisively.

"Haha, good, I've been waiting for you." Li Zhen saw that the other party was actually so angry and silently cried out in his heart. His eyes turned cold, and without dodging, he leaped off the horse's back and into the air. He then displayed a 'human' character somersaulted, and directly stabbed at Lieutenant Wang with a loud bang from a long sword in the air.

"Pfft!" In that instant, his speed was actually so fast! General Wang couldn't even know the state of his own death.

"Brothers, the enemy leader has been killed by the general. Charge!" After Li Zhen finished off the lieutenant, the Northern Yue elites became even more high-spirited. The imperial guards, on the other hand, were now being killed to the point of being terrified.

After seeing Li Zhen kill the lieutenant, Lan Cang unconsciously looked towards the top of the city gate tower from the corner of his eye. At this moment, the man waved his right hand as he inwardly cursed.

"Liu Hun, bring ten thousand soldiers and horses with you!" Lan Cang roared.

"Yes, Marshal!" Soulreaper didn't waste any more words and directly yelled out.

"Brothers, our time of glory has come. Charge!"
