War was always bloody and cruel, and human lives were like grass!

To be humane and merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself!

As a genius doctor, Yun Zi Huang was more willing to save the dying and help the injured than to use medicine and poison to kill people, killing many people. However, this was in a war. Only by killing or making more enemies lose their fighting strength could they better protect their own people. The barbarians of the northern region and the Rising Sun Empire were bandits by nature. They had invaded the northern border of the Tianyuan Kingdom. They had killed and looted everywhere; not even chickens and dogs were left behind.

She would not treat these people with the hearts of a doctor's parents.

One must not forget, those comrades who died in battle, they used their own blood and lives to stop the enemy's advance, to protect their home and their country.

Disguising herself as the princess of the barbarian race was one of her plans. The spreading of the virus in the military camp of the Rising Sun Empire was her main goal. Now, this plan had begun to work. The disease had spread throughout the Rising Sun Empire's military camp, and even the Duke of Sky was getting sick.

Before she left, she left a gift for the Duke of Sky, a drug to control illness.

It wasn't that she was soft-hearted, but that she needed the general, Duke Ba Tian, to be in charge of the Rising Sun Empire's army, to negotiate and fulfill the conditions. The medicine she left behind could help to heal Duke Ba Tian's illness. As long as he took the medicine she left behind on time, he wouldn't have to worry about his underlings discovering him and isolating him.

However, the medicine she left behind could not cure the disease. It was only to control the disease.

It was because she left such a drug with the Duke of Sky, that he believed that she had the antidote to cure the plague, to cure the soldiers who were infected with it.

Feng Qingxiao's conditions were too excessive, so the envoy was unable to make a decision. He could only send someone to report it to the Grand Duke as soon as possible, and ask the Grand Duke to make the decision. The envoys were burning with anxiety. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the Wild Dragon River was about to be thawed. If they couldn't go back before the ice was thawed, it would be difficult to go back across the river.

After all, the Sun Ascension Empire had dispatched two hundred thousand soldiers this time. Although they could take a detour around the endless river, it would take too long and take too much time.

Duke Ba Tian didn't want to cross the Wild Dragon River and invade Tian Yuan Kingdom before spring arrived. It was just that this time, the Northern Region would send five hundred thousand troops and the opportunity was too rare, which was why he was willing to take the risk. The plan was to seize some places in the northern border for the garrison to use and acquire the necessary supplies on the spot. Therefore, as long as they could seize one or two cities, they wouldn't have to worry about lack of military supplies.

It was because of the abundance of Tian Yuan that these greedy bandits of the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire had crossed the line countless times over the years.

They would occupy the north and then occupy the Tianyuan Kingdom. They would have more fertile land and place the Tianyuan territory into the Rising Sun Empire's territory!

This was not only the dream of the Sky Tyrant Lord, but also the dream of the Rising Sun Empire's emperor. It was also the dream of the Barbarian King of the Northern Region.

Feng Qingxiao looked at the generals under his command. They were still missing one more important person, his most trusted Wind Blade.

"Report your meritorious deeds to us and remember them. Once this battle is over, return to the northern border and bestow rewards regardless of life or death."

The generals bowed as they accepted the order. Their hearts were heavy. If it wasn't for the princess coming over and spreading the plague in the military camp of the Rising Sun Empire, they would never have had the chance to return to the north!

Only at this moment did they truly understand why their commander had dared to go against the law, allowing Princess Taiping to bring only a thousand personal guards to venture into Blackbear Valley.

"Yun Zhao."

Yun Zhao immediately walked up and knelt on one knee, "I await your orders, lord."

"If your personal guard is missing, you will be ordered to select a thousand of the Iron Guard. With Yun Zihuang as the leader and Yun Yin as the subordinate."

He was stunned for a moment. His master's order was completely out of his expectations.

At that time, there were five hundred personal guards, and the lord had also selected another five hundred elites of the Iron Guard, combining them into one thousand personal guards. On the surface, he was the leader of the personal guards, but in reality, the only person he could truly control was her five hundred personal guards. Speaking of which, although he was also a commander, he was far from being comparable to the commanders of the northern border. Ouyang Baofeng and the other Northern Frontier commanders were all at the first rank of official. As the commander of the Royal Guard, he was only at the third rank, similar to Feng Ding.

This was also the rank of the late emperor. In order to balance military power, he had enriched the imperial guards several times and promoted them to the rank of a commander. Only then would there be a rank.

A commander of the northern border led several tens of thousands of troops and several prefectures.

The leaders of the 12 Royal Guards were all in the capital and had been expanded several times. Even at the time, there were only 60,000 people. Initially, it was only the private army on the Yunfei Peak. Later on, the emperor appeared to be blessed by the heavens, even adding his personal guards to the imperial guards. His salary was also given by the state, but in reality, he was using this method to control Yunfei Peak's military power.

This was also the most important reason why both Yun Zhao and the imperial guards were held in contempt from the start, and why the Iron Guard and the personal guards were so clearly separated.

Now that the lord had given the order, he was promoted to become the real chief of a thousand personal guards. Now that he had been brought out from the capital and belonged to the court, he had less than two hundred people left. The missing eight hundred people had to be selected from the Iron Guards.

Yun Zhao hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, "Thank you for your kindness, master. This general shall repay you with a thousand deaths."

Yun Zi Huang's heart was moved. Right now, the entire Iron Guard, when added together, only had a little more than a thousand. He could get more than 800, but there wasn't much left. In order to gather up a thousand of her personal guards, Feng Qingxiao wanted to be the sole commander. This, of course, wasn't appropriate.

She went up to him and knelt on one knee, lowering her head and saying respectfully, "My lord, thank you. Please wait until this battle is over and when you return, select the Iron Guards as your subordinates."

"No need. Yun Zhao, go and choose."

Yun Zhao bowed again, "I obey."

She could only express her gratitude. She thought that it would be best if the Wind Blades could bring back the Iron Guards as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would have more soldiers under her than the War God King. This was too outrageous. Of course, the Iron Guard was under her command, and she was the War God King's subordinate, so there wasn't much of a difference. However, when he thought about how the five hundred young and strong Iron Guards had only been left with less than two hundred when he left the capital, how could he not feel pain in his heart?

Yun Zhao had chosen carefully, not the strongest and strongest iron guards, but the worst ones. The worst ones were those who were badly injured. The Iron Guards were all elites among elites. They battled nonstop, and many of them were injured.

Other than the original Feng Dingdang and company, he chose a few more Iron Guards. He and Yun Yin went to meet with Yun Zihuang, kneeling down and begging for forgiveness, "Princess, this general has picked the Iron Guard who are in the worst condition and in a bad condition. He did not report this to the princess beforehand, this general is willing to accept your punishment."
