C134 Scarlet Flame Battle Zone (10)

The magnificent Crimson Flame Kyoto was located in the center of the Crimson Flame Communal Country. There was an endless stretch of palaces, streets that stretched in all directions, streets that were filled with cars and horses, and martial practitioners carrying swords and sabers that could be seen everywhere.

The entire capital city was three hundred meters tall and thirty-six meters thick. The city walls stretched for several thousand miles, and every section of the city wall was engraved with spirit inscriptions. There was even an Earth Grade great formation, the Burning Sky Soul-Sealing Formation, protecting it.

They were the last line of defense of the duchy, and their main mission was to guard the capital. Thus, in the battle between Qianyu Duchy and Eternity Duchy, most of their troops were sent out, and only the Venerable Redsoul remained in the capital.

At the same time, considering that the entire country is brimming with elites, there might be some problems at the back of the duchy. In order to guard against Eternity Duchy's sneak attack on the capital, the Venerable Redsoul even specially recruited a total of two million troops from the thirty surrounding cities to assist the Imperial Protectors.

The thirty cities that guarded the capital were also ordered to stand guard, activating their great defensive formation and raising their vigilance. In the event of an invasion, the thirty cities could coordinate with one another and face the enemy together, thus ensuring the safety of the entire Crimson Flame Capital.

Logically speaking, with so many preparations and measures done by the capital, it should be foolproof. As the general of the Imperial Guard, General Xu Wei should also be at ease, but in reality, that was not the case. The current Xu Wei was like an ant on a hot pan, burning with anxiety. He was completely lost and had a bad feeling, so he had to start from three days ago.

Three days ago, East1 City, one of the 30 major cities that guarded the capital, suddenly sent an emergency call for reinforcements. It was said that foreign enemies had invaded, and East1 City was quickly breached. Not long after, East2 City, East3 City and E4 City were invaded. Seven cities in total had been completely destroyed.

Xu Wei hurriedly sent out scouts to investigate the details. After finding out that the enemy only had ten thousand troops led by a almighty general dressed in black armor with a silver war lance in her hand, he immediately combined the intelligence she had gathered about the Eternity Duchy and obtained the truth. That was, the one who had attacked Thirteen Eastern City was an almighty General Zhao Yun, and the ten thousand people he was leading were the guards of the Eternity Duchy.

Xu Wei calmed down after learning about the details. Wanting to send just ten thousand people to the Redflame Communal Country was simply courting death. He laughed scornfully and shook his head, ready to send his army to annihilate this reckless army.

Just at this time, news came in from the west, that a General of Everlast named Wang Tie had led a million strong army to lead a huge airship and attack the five cities in the west. The attack had already destroyed three major cities in one go.

To the south, they met a peerless general called Guan Yu, who was also leading a huge army of a million strong as he flew through the air on a battleship with an unstoppable momentum. No one was a match for Guan Yu, as five cities had already been breached and every city had been destroyed by him with a single slash.

At this moment, Xu Wei was a little taken aback. According to his intelligence, these people should be members of the Heavenly Desolate Army, with the Flowing Wind Army to the west and Guan Yu Army to the south.

However, things weren't over yet. After the five cities in the west and the eleven cities in the south, an emergency report was sent from the eleven cities in the north. A mighty general called Xue Rengui led a huge army of a million men and drove the warship horizontally all the way to the north.

On the other hand, on the capital's side, other than the one million soldiers that could fight the Heavenly Imperial Guards, the remaining two million soldiers were all new recruits. It would be difficult for them to send troops to support the cities in all four directions.

In this way, in three short days, all thirteen eastern cities had been destroyed, the west five cities had been occupied, and the south eleven cities, north eleven cities, had also been completely destroyed. The entire Crimson Flame Capital had become a lone city, and these successive reports of war had been sent back to the capital, instantly causing all of the people of the capital to become terrified and anxious.

These guards were very strong, forming a military formation with every two thousand people. With the combined strength of two thousand Transcending Mortality Stage warriors, they formed a giant blood colored spirit beast, with a total of five huge blood colored beasts that were hundreds of thousands of meters tall, and started attacking the city gate in turns. Each blood colored beast had the strength of a Holy Embryo.

A gigantic airship was floating in the sky above the west gate, and below it was a million strong army of Liu Feng Legions. The north gate was also occupied by a gigantic warship, and on the ground, there was a million soldiers taking turns attacking. Each of the warships in these two positions had twenty White Bone Slayer Spirit Cannons on them.

The southern gate was sealed off by the Third Army of the Great Tang, led by Xue Rengui. Millions of people formed into battle formations, and one huge blood red tiger after another pounced towards the spirit barrier, causing ripples to form on the surface.

Although the capital was protected by an Earth Grade great formation, it was still very safe for the time being. However, if there was no reinforcements, sooner or later the capital would be breached and the citizens of the city would begin to stir up some trouble. Among them, the wealthy aristocrats of the capital came every day to find Xu Wei and ask him to think of a way to solve the besieged situation in the capital.

One must know, for him to be able to get the position of the protector general, it was mostly because he knew how to cater to the Venerable Redsoul's preferences, hence he was highly valued. Although he always pretended to be well-read and humble in front of others, but in terms of real ability, he really didn't have one.

Within the discussion hall of the general's residence.

The general, Xu Wei, grabbed the deputy general and asked anxiously, "How is it? How is the situation right now? The letter for help was sent so long ago. Is there any news?" "

The deputy general bitterly shook his head and said, "General, there is no news of him for the time being." "

Xu Wei paced back and forth irritably as he asked, "Ah?" How did this happen? Why did this happen? What did the surrounding cities say? They were the closest to the capital, so why was it that no one had come to support them? "

The Lieutenant General said helplessly, "Ever since all the large cities in the north came to the capital to support them, they were all annihilated by the Third Army of the Eternity Duchy's Great Tang Army, Xue Rengui." "

The cities in the west and south feared that the siege of the capital was a conspiracy. They wanted to lure them to attack them one by one, and the elites of their major cities had all been sent to the Qianyu Duchy. Now, however, their defenses were weak. "

As for the east, they said that the cities in the east, under the orders of the king, had already formed a million strong Eastern Arc Army and had already set out for the Qianyu Duchy. "

When Xu Wei heard this, he immediately flew into a rage as he cursed, "What a bunch of bastards! When the king returns, I will definitely teach them a lesson and teach those bastards a lesson!" "

The deputy general was silent.

After cursing for a while, Xu Wei finally remembered what he was doing. He asked again, "Where is General Zhao Jinhuo's 1st Infantry Regiment? What about General Hu and General Elephant's 5th Battalion? What about the Young Chieftain and the rest, don't tell me none of them replied?" "

The deputy general shook his head and said dejectedly, "None of the people we sent out have returned yet, so we don't know the specifics. As for those who went to the Qianyu Duchy to inform the young country lord, they probably haven't even arrived yet. "

Xu Wei swallowed his saliva and asked with a hoarse voice, "How long can we keep the spirit stones stored in our stock for after we fully activate the Great City Barrier Formation?" "

The Lieutenant General thought for a moment and then said, "Because the Earth Grade array formation consumes a lot of spirit stones, and every second it revolves for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and the opponent's offense is too fierce, which increases the consumption of spirit stones. Especially in the west gate and south gate, the White Bone Slayer Demon Cannon is the best weapon for attacking the city, and every shot is equivalent to a powerful attack." "

"However, the number of spirit stones we can use is very limited with our authority. Without the presence of the king and the young king, it would be impossible for us to retrieve enough spirit stones from the treasury." "

Xu Wei impatiently interrupted him and shouted, "I just want to know how long the spirit stones will last. I didn't ask you to say so much nonsense." "

"All the Spirit Stones in the treasury added together will last for another three days at most." "

Xu Wei's face turned pale as he sat down on a chair. After a long while, he said absentmindedly, "Inform them to keep the array running and we can't stop for a moment. We will definitely hold on until the king and the others return. As long as the king returns to the capital, all dangers will be resolved." "

"Even if the War of the Venerable One is a protracted war and the King is not able to make it back in time, at least the Young Lord will come back when he receives a letter for help. At that time, we will have nothing to fear and post a notice to everyone in the city, informing them that our reinforcements will be here soon. "

"Yes!" The deputy general was on his way.

Xu Wei was the only one left in the meeting hall, muttering to himself, "At this point, we can only do this, if we can hold on for one day, then it will be one day at a time. If we really reach the end of the mountain, and the reinforcements and the king cannot arrive in time, then we can't blame myself for being disloyal, since I've already done my best, I don't want to die!" "

Rumble. "

"Rumble!" "

Outside the city, in the sky above the western and southern gates of the city, there was a massive airship hovering in the air. On the warship, a huge, malevolent White-Bone Devil Slayer Cannon was bombarding the spirit energy shield in front of the city gates.

Beneath the warship was a legion of a million people that was fiercely attacking the northern city gates of the Redflame Capital. The warship that was floating in the air had two war flags stuck into it, one of which had the words "Eternity Duchy" on it, and the other one had the words "Third Army of the Tang Dynasty". Four almighty generals were discussing war on the warship.

The people on the warship were none other than the Third Army Corps of the Great Tang Army, led by Xue Rengui. The other three people who gathered here were, Guan Yu and the leader of the Eternity Guard who came first to the Crimson Flame Duchy. Because of his outstanding battle achievements, Wang Tie received a reward from Qin Hengtian.

On the warship, Xue Rengui said while holding onto his spirit energy phone, "Alright, since Big Brother Qin has asked, I will naturally agree. You and Yuanba's army can rest assured and leave it to me." "

Xue Rengui was currently on the phone with Qin Shubao, and upon finding out that Qin Shubao had already become the Epochrion, he first expressed his congratulations, and agreed to Qin Shubao's request. After the two exchanged greetings, they then ended the call.

"What did Uncle Bao say? When will he and Yuanba arrive?" After the call ended, Zhao Yun asked curiously.

Xue Rengui laughed happily, "Hahaha. Uncle Bao and Yuanba both became Epochrion and have already left for the Song Army alone to support Pengju and company. Just now, he was just discussing with me that we should temporarily hand over their two million strong army to my commander. "

The general of the Flowing Wind Legion frowned and asked in confusion, "Is this alright? Without the king's order, changing the general without permission would be a grave violation?" "

Xue Rengui explained proudly, "Uncle Bao has already informed the Military Intelligence Service of this matter, and all the army ministers have given their permission. The Emperor once said that the Military Intelligence Service has the authority to make the final decision during the internal war, so there is no problem, and the Emperor has absolute trust in us! "

After Wang Tie understood, he no longer doubted them, but was instead overjoyed and excited, "Epochrion, General Qin Shubao and General Li Yuanba are really great, with two Venerable Ones going, the Song Army will no longer have any worries, thus, we can only stay here. As long as we can take down the Scarlet Flame Capital, then the Dongxuan Island will be ours. "

Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, "Yuanba has already become a Epochrion, I can't be too far behind! "

Guan Yu's fighting spirit rose as he surrounded himself with blade auras, and asked, "When will the other two great armies of the Great Tang Dynasty arrive? I am already a little impatient, since Yuanba, Uncle Bao, and the rest can make a breakthrough in the battlefield, maybe we can use this opportunity to attack this hard city of the Scarlet Flame Capital to comprehend the Dao." "

Xue Rengui calculated for a bit before saying, "They should be able to reach there in at most two days, and I'm guessing, the maximum amount of spirit stones that the Crimson Flame Capital will have is at most, and with the City Barrier Formation operating for another two to three days, a mere general would not have much authority to use all of the resources of the Scarlet Flame Communal Country. Without the spirit stones, no matter how strong the formation is, it will only be a decoration. "

Wang Tie was extremely excited, and said, "General Xue is saying, in at most three days, we can take down the entire Scarlet Flame Capital. "

Xue Rengui said confidently, "That's right, in at most three days, the Scarlet Flame Capital's defensive array will break because we don't have spirit stones. At that time, when the four of us lead our five million strong army and charge forward, the Scarlet Flame Communal Country will definitely die! "

Wang Tie was so excited that his entire body started jumping, "This is great, I never thought that I, Wang Tie, would one day be able to participate in such a grand event. Destroying a Duchy that has lasted for a thousand years in one go, this will be my entire life's glory! "

"If that's the case, then Fire Island is the only power left in the Dongxuan Island. As long as the General Wei Qing and the rest of the army can take down Fire Island, then there is nothing left for them to do. "

Then our Eternity Duchy will have the hope to fulfill the dreams of all the powers in the Dongxuan Island, that we haven't achieved for tens of thousands of years. "

Xue Rengui said with a sigh, "Facing the entire army of men head on is definitely the nightmare of the Fire Island. Three million strong cavalry soldiers trained properly, plus Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and Li Guang, the three geniuses in cavalry combat, at the very least, no one in the Eastern Xuan Region would be a match for them. "

Zhao Yun said with interest, "Who knows, the Fire Island's five million strong army might have already been annihilated, and Huo Qubing and the rest might have already charged straight into the heart of the Fire Island. I do not believe that fellow is so obedient, and did not take the opportunity to take down the Fire Island in one go! "

Guan Yu's eyes flashed, it was extremely sharp, "That's possible! "
