Thus, after carefully assessing my strength, I made a request to Yue Ze: "Let me go. I'm not a general, I can go be the vanguard!"
However, Yue Ze didn't even nod. "No!" he said. The front line is too dangerous. You're a girl, how can you risk your life? Even if I have to personally take the risk, I can't let you take it! "
I helplessly said, "Weren't I also fighting outside before? It's been so many years since you came here safely. What are you worried about, your majesty? "
Yueze was silent, then suddenly hugged me. "Do you know what I've regretted the most over the years? I'm letting you go to the border to fight! I've been on tenterhooks ever since you left for the war and didn't return for a day! Once, you went on an expedition to the east and were caught in the sea for a month. When the news spread to the palace, I didn't get a good night's sleep for a whole thirty days! So, now that I know you're a woman, it's even more impossible for me to let you go to the front line. Women are here to protect.
There was a flash of emotion in his eyes, and for a moment I didn't know how to refute it. He laid his head back against my shoulder and sighed deeply. "Ah Wu, I need you. I can't lose you! "
His voice was a little shaky, a little shy, but he mustered the courage to say it. Sometimes, when this young Emperor became bashful, it would make people feel both pity and love for him.
I was silent for a long time before finally sighing, "Alright, I will stay at the palace for the time being. However, if the situation is critical and the Emperor continues to head south, you must let me go on stage! "
Yue Ze nodded.
My worries came true in the end... The army of the Cang Wu came ferociously along the way, almost to the north of the Liujiang River.
Liujiang was the dividing line between the north and the south. Since ancient times, it had been the important border line between the north and south of Nan Yu. It was also the last barrier between the north and the south. Flowing River had a border city called Flowing River City. To the south of Flowing River City was the Jialingguan. After Jialingguan is the plains of the wild, if the Cang troops attack the river, across Jialingjia, it is equivalent to the loss of half of the rivers and mountains.
Finally, Yueze couldn't sit still anymore and allowed me to ask for his permission. He might have placed his hopes on me, because there are already some people in the army who are worried. They are all saying that if the prison disaster didn't kill the general Bai Lian, who has unparalleled martial arts skills, the Kingdom of Nan Yu wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation! Therefore, when I once again requested for an order to fight, Yueze finally agreed.
I came to the rescue as the special envoy of the Imperial Army, and it would be most appropriate for the Emperor's immediate officials to go to the aid of the people. Thus, when I arrived at Carlin Pass, the soldiers at the border all thought of me as the king's favorite person, a proper female official in the palace.
When I arrived at Liujiang City, I was attacked by the Cang army crossing the river.
The river was wide, the river was torrential, and the ships of the Ashbals were mighty. They went down the river like dumplings. They had come prepared, and the ships they built were enormous, equipped with superior weapons. They were in no way inferior to the navy of Nan Yu! I was surprised to see this... If this went on, Liujiang would fall sooner or later!
The high-ranking officer of the garrison was also flustered … For a long time, everyone had thought that the Cang Army was a cavalry unit, and water battles had always been their weakness. However, they never thought that the Cang Army would actually leave a trump card, bringing along such a powerful battleship! The Liujiang Division was in a hurry to fight them, but our forces were smaller than the Ashbals, and we were not fully prepared. Soon, the Southwurst Kingdom was at a disadvantage.
The situation was critical, so I quickly set up a sacrificial altar at the head of Liujiang City. I requested the help of the heavenly soldiers to fight with me. Very soon, there were waves surging on the surface of the river. Very soon, the gigantic waves were able to overturn Cang Wu Country's vanguard fleet … Three thousand heavenly soldiers descended from the sky, flickering with golden shadows. They were here to help me!
The first Cang fleet was temporarily suppressed, and the navy took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, forcing it back to the north of the river. I was secretly delighted, but I didn't expect that the other side would suddenly pull up a wall of water! It was a barrier of water, three stories high, and it perfectly obstructed my Heavenly General's shadow and protected the navy of Cang Wu!
Not good, there are powerful mages in the army!
Realizing this, I was shocked and panicked.
No wonder the other side was able to fight all the way to Liujiang. It seemed like there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Cang Wu Army! Who the hell is this guy? He can actually stop me from using such a sloppy method! You know, this is a spell that Master taught me. Even though it's the simplest spell, it came from the Heaven Realm. Is he still a mortal?
Surprised, I immediately continued my practice and summoned my Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon again. At this moment, the opposing party's water wall seemed to sense my spirit energy and rose by a few dozen feet at the same time. Furthermore, after reaching an incredible height, it suddenly turned into a black mass of shadows, rushing towards Water Master Nan Yu!
With a loud boom, the water wall collapsed, and massive waves rolled across the land. Water masters of the Southern Eternal River Region were struck hard, their ships were destroyed, and countless men fell into the water and were killed!
It's too scary, the opponent's spell is actually stronger than mine!
My Heaven-grade weapon was once again blocked. My magic failed, and I was quickly hit by the backlash of the Spiritual Energy. A mouthful of blood sprayed out from his chest, causing the faces of the surrounding high-ranking officers to turn deathly pale.
"Master, are you alright?"
I raised my hand and shook my head. Even though my internal organs were severely injured and I wanted to vomit blood right now, I couldn't show any signs of weakness in order to stabilize my morale. Looking at the dense tide of black shadows on the other party, my heart trembles like a drum... The Cang fleet had completely broken through the barrier of Nan Yu Country, and their ship was shooting straight towards the south bank of the river like an arrow that had left the bowstring!
Flowing River is lost, Nan Yu is in danger!
I gritted my teeth, pulled out my Meteor Sword, and rushed to the front line.
There's nothing I can do. I have to step forward and assist in blocking the enemy outside the city.
They definitely could not let them attack the city. Otherwise, it would be the end of the world for Nan Yu!
When I rushed down from the high platform alone, something terrible happened in Liujiang City! A traitor opened the gate, and the Cang troops who had landed swarmed in! The marshal of the river was dumbfounded as he stared at the broken door below with a pained look. Trembling, he said, "You … you actually betrayed this general …"
Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of blood gushed out from his heart and he fainted!
As the main general fainted, the generals panicked. At this time, the city gates had already been captured, the entrance to Liujiang City had already fallen into a chaotic battle!
"Master, come with me!" I'll bring you out of here! " He was sent by Yueze to protect me, to come with me from the Imperial City.
I looked at Liujiang City, then looked at the guard, shaking my head: "You go first, I have to stay!"
Yeah, I can't just run away like this, I have to help Yueze keep watch! If Bai Lian was still here, she could definitely do it, right? If she can do it, why can't I? I'm her descendant after all.
Thinking of this, I immediately shake off the anxious guards. I snatched a horse and charged into battle, running as fast as I could on the battlefield, carefully avoiding the enemy and the arrows, looking for my target.
Shoot the enemy first, capture the thief first, capture the king … My ability is limited, I have to defeat the enemy general in the shortest amount of time! I heard that this battle was fought personally by the other side's Emperor. That is to say, the Emperor of Cang Wu Country is also in the battlefield? As long as the emperor personally takes the field, the throne is extremely conspicuous. I must find him and capture him, then I will be able to reverse the situation!
