Light cavalry to the north, the body of Songjiang Soul Shattering. Man'er had cried so much that even one out of ten people wouldn't be able to return home!

In order to prevent the plague from spreading to his army and spreading to the north, the Barbarian King had ordered that all the soldiers who went deep into the north were not allowed to take even a single step beyond the Songjiang River!

Within a few days, countless warriors of the northern region had died. At every moment, people were dying and falling ill.

On the verge of collapse, no one in the northern region could see any hope for survival. They did not get the food they needed from the north. After the plague broke out, they were even less willing to eat the food from the north. The only things that they dared to eat were the wild vegetables in the forest fields, the fish and prawns in the river, and the wild beasts in the mountains. However, how could these be enough to support the army's consumption?

Many soldiers infected with the plague did not die from illness, but from starvation and suicide.

How could a soldier with fighting strength, who was hungry, feed someone who was seriously ill and infected by the plague?

Some of the warriors who were infected with the plague and did not care about their lives went to eat their horses and the food they had gotten from the northern border. They didn't want to be starved to death. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they had to persevere and pray for their lives. As for returning home, that was the dream of all the warriors in the northern region. Not to mention that the Barbarian King had given orders, the army had formed a line of defense and killed all the soldiers in the northern region. Even without this order, the people of the Northern Reaches were unwilling to take the plague back home.

The Barbarian King even sent a secret order to all the commanders in the army to select their most trusted men and form law enforcement squads to monitor the movements of the officers in the army. Anyone who escaped or disturbed the soldiers' morale would be killed!

All of the people in the northern region understood one thing. It was impossible for them to return home alive!

Even if they didn't feel like they had been infected by the plague, they would still starve to death in the north!

The barbarians of the northern region are not wise men, nor are they made of steel." For countless years, there had been many small and large clans in the northern region, which were unable to be respected. These small clans were all subordinate clans to large clans. Large clans had annexed small clans, and the battles between clans had never ceased. Even now, the Barbarian King was the supreme expert of all the tribes of the Northern Region. Although he had unified the Northern Region, many of the leaders of the great tribes didn't want to be ruled by others.

Especially since the plague was running amok, the patriarchs of some large clans and generals of the military were trying to find a way out for themselves, their clans, and their subordinates.

Where was the way out?

The war against the God King of the Northern Frontier!

The first person to request surrender to the War God was Ge Shengge. He was not only the tribe's chief, but also the general of the army. The warriors in the army were all from their own clans, and all the elites from their clans. The most robust and brave tribe members who had accompanied the Barbarian King this time had been brought to the northern border. Currently, the only people left in the tribe were the elderly, the sick, the disabled, women, and their children.

If they were to all die here, then the tribe would plummet and disappear from the north!

Ge Shengge deeply regretted that he shouldn't have been too greedy and brought all the strong men from his tribe here!

The personally written letter had a humble tone and was extremely respectful. It had been sent in using a messenger eagle, and right now, the War God King was at the Iron Cliff Pass. He personally led his men and placed their armors and weapons at a place far away from him. All of the elders kneeled at the edge of the moat in front of the Iron Wall Pass, deeply prostrating themselves on the ground as they begged for surrender.

Surrender unconditionally, and all the warriors beneath him are willing to be slaves!

He swore to be loyal to the War God forever, to be the lowly slave. He himself was willing to let the War God punish him. He would be hacked into pieces, split into five horses, and then die from the most brutal torture!

Ge Shengge was one of the few wise men among the generals of the Northern Reaches. He knew very well that he didn't have the qualification to talk about conditions at this moment. Even though he was humbly and respectfully pleading, he still didn't know whether the War God King would be willing to surrender or not.

They only wanted to preserve the lives of most of their subordinates!

All the warriors in the northern region thought it was extremely normal for them to surrender and become slaves. The people of the Northern Regions were wolf-like, and the strong were revered. War broke out between the tribes, and all the people who were captured, even the nobles of the tribes, were only the slaves of the victors. Defeat, whether captured or surrendered, was the slave of the victor. Even the clan leader could only kneel in front of the victor and become a slave!

The captives would definitely be slaves, and surrender would depend on the situation at that time. The best outcome would be for the victors to be magnanimous, allowing the ones who lost to become their subordinates. The worst case scenario was that the loser was not qualified to make the request, and could only be the victor's servant. Perhaps his status would be higher than that of the captive, and everything would depend on the will of the victor.

In the northern region, everything, including their lives, belonged to their masters!

Even if their master told them to die, the slaves wouldn't dare to disobey. They were their master's slaves, and even if they died, they would still be their master's ghost.

Ge Shengge's forehead touched the ground. He had knelt there for a very long time, but before he received the War God's reply, he could only respectfully and humbly kneel there, expressing his sincerity and deference to the War God.

Their legs went from sore to numb, unconscious, hungry, hurt, and sick. Some of them had already fainted and were lying limply on the ground, still prostrating themselves in a prostrate position. No one dared to move, nor did they dare to complain. Whether or not they could preserve their lives was all thanks to the gift from the God King of War.

Finally, the city gate was opened. Ge Shengge's eyes lit up with hope.

Yun Zihuang led a group of people out of the city gate. They stood on the suspension bridge and looked at the large group of Northern Region soldiers who were kneeling down. These people were all bare-chested, wearing only a thin pair of pants. Weapons, war horses, armors, clothes, all were kept at a distance of a hundred meters away from them. By using this method, they expressed their absolute sincerity.

Ge Shengge slightly raised his head and glanced at the general that had walked out of the city gate. He could not help but be stunned. It was actually a valiant, valiant, beautiful, young and tender girl.

Princess Taiping!

In an instant, this was the only name left in his mind!

Within less than a month, the reputation of the princess of Tianyuan Kingdom, Princess Taiping, was spread all over the place.

It was said that this plague had come from the hands of the world's number one genius doctor, Princess Taiping!

At this moment, he prayed that this rumor was true. Since Princess Taiping was able to spread the plague, she definitely had the ability to control the plague and treat the victims of the plague.

"Slave Ge Shengge pays his respects to Princess Pingping."

He kneeled forward and crawled a few steps, then kowtowed three times heavily to Yun Zihuang. "Your servant is guilty of the sin of perishing, and begs the War God King and the princess to surrender."

Yun Zihuang raised her voice and said: "Yes."

Ge Shengge and the rest were ecstatic. Countless heads fell on the ground and the sound of their heads hitting the ground could be heard!
