Unlike the scorching heat that Wind Travelling Sky was experiencing, Huo Wu and all the soldiers on Mount Gesa had already reached their physical limits. The snowstorm that filled the sky made it difficult for people to open their eyes. Thousands of soldiers stopped and could no longer stand up. The 120,000 men that Yang Chong and Huo Wu brought were all the assets of the Clear Shadow Legion, including the tens of thousands of newly recruited reserve troops.
With a scream, another soldier accidentally slipped and fell into the unfathomable cliff. He climbed halfway up the mountain, leaving only 100,000 soldiers left from the 120,000 soldiers.
"Don't sit down, stand up!" On the one-meter-wide road, Fire Dance kept helping the soldiers who wanted to sit down.
His fiery red armor was covered in thick ice shards. At this time, willpower was more important than physical strength.
"Wu 'er, let's rest for a while. If this continues, we won't even be able to save 50,000!”Yang Chong came to Fire Dance's side and shouted.
"We'll talk about it after we reach the top of the mountain. If we stop now, there will be at least ten thousand casualties!”Fire Dance replied loudly.
The 100,000 people were divided into battalions. Each battalion leader led the way in front, and everyone supported each other from the front and back. With the last of their strength, they climbed towards the top of the mountain that seemed close at hand but was far away.
On the battlefield, Huang Ming had already led his troops forward for 40 miles. They were about to attack the Magical Beast camp. Huang Ming realized that the Magical Beast alliance army was not that terrifying. There were so many troops, and they would run away after a fight. They were no match for the brave Empire's army.
After Liu Yuan's persuasion, Huang Ming didn't push his troops forward. At that moment, Long Qingying was already in the fortress.
"Your Highness, the Beastmen are clearly luring us in like last time. We can't go in anymore!”
At this meeting, Huang Ming proposed to push the troops another 20 miles.
"How could I not know? But General Liu, don't forget that behind the fortress is a huge empire. Every day, reinforcements are constantly gathering in the fortress. We have absolute logistical support. It's impossible for Ye Mei to surround us like last time.”
"Then we'll make a decision after Long Shuai comes.”Liu Yuan had no choice but to mention Long Qingying.
"Then go and find her!" Emperor Ming had this intention.
"General Liu, if you're afraid, hand over the Commander's Seal and our wings!”Zheng Guang said.
"Alright, I'll go find Long Shuai." Liu Yuan said calmly.
Orc tent.
" General Ye, even if Long Qingying can save us this time, there's nothing we can do. We've already surrounded that silly prince. Haha, as long as we can surround him, Long Qingying will send her troops to rescue him. When the troops in the pass are empty, we can take the opportunity to occupy the Wind Canyon. Oh, Wind Canyon, you will finally fall into my hands!"”Kankula was very excited. If he could take down Wind Gorge Pass, it would be recorded in the history of the orcs.
"With the Lion King's bravery, the Wind God will be in the Lion King's pocket sooner or later.”Ye Mei said absent-mindedly.
"Two days later, we will launch a counterattack.”Kankula did not notice Night Rose's abnormality.
Feng Xingtian did not catch another snake. They were already in the depths of the desert, lying under the sand dunes. Yan Yi was already on her last breath.
"Yi 'er, come, tell big brother about your childhood.”Feng Xingtian kept trying to entice Yan Yi to speak, urging her not to close her eyes. If she fell asleep now, she might never wake up.
"Big brother, can we not leave?”Yan Yi said with heavy eyelids.
"Alright, I won't leave, but don't sleep.”Feng Xingtian helped her up.
"Big brother, Yi 'er misses big sister so much." Yan Yi muttered.
"You have a sister?"
"That's right. Since young, only big sister has been good to Yi 'er. Yi' er's parents don't love Yi 'er.”Yan Yi leaned on Feng Xingtian again.
"Big Brother is the same as you, but other than an older sister, he has a younger sister. However, they don't want Big Brother anymore.”Feng Xingtian stroked Yan Yi's dry hair.
"Big brother, is Yi 'er about to die? But in big brother's embrace, Yi' er isn't afraid of anything!”Yan Yi's words sounded like a farewell.
"Then in the future, you'll always lean on Big Brother's arms. Even if you get married, Big Brother will still let you lean on him.”Feng Xingtian recalled Huo Wu saying the same thing that night.
"Sister-in-law will be jealous!" Yan Yi forced a smile.
In this moment of life and death, the two of them had developed a strange attachment in a short period of time. This was the mutual dependence of life.
"She's not the only one who will be jealous. There's another one!”Feng Xingtian also couldn't hold on any longer. He didn't know if Snowy had woken up.
"Then Yi 'er will not marry in the future and will forever stay in big brother's arms.”Yan Yi finally closed her eyes.
Just as she felt her soul getting further and further away from her body, she suddenly had an illusion. A warm current flowed into her mouth, and out of instinct, she sucked desperately.
Soon, her consciousness returned to her body. She felt the warm current in her mouth had a thick fishy smell, like blood!
Yan Yi slowly opened her eyes. She was stunned for a moment.
Her hands were tightly hugging a strong arm, and what she was sucking was the blood from Feng Xingtian's wrist!
Warm blood flowed down her throat. Yan Yi looked up and met Feng Xingtian's gentle eyes and pale, dry lips.
"Big brother, don't!" Yan Yi wanted to cry, but she couldn't.
"It's okay. There's plenty. Drink more.”Feng Xingtian forced a smile and brought his wrist to her mouth.
Yan Yi didn't say anything. She lowered her head silently and kissed her bleeding wound. She tore off her clothes and wrapped it up.
"Are you touched? Please don't fall in love with big brother. I have a family.”Feng Xingtian could not stand Yan Yi's gaze and joked.
"Big brother, if Yi 'er lies to you in the future, will you hate Yi' er? I said if."
"Well, it's worth considering. You don't know that I hate it when people lie to me.”Feng Xingtian said honestly.
"Yi 'er knows, Yi' er won't lie to big brother.”Yan Yi looked a little sad.
"Alright, it's time to set off. I lied to you. No matter what you do in the future, big brother will forgive you.”Feng Xingtian stood up and helped Yan Yi up.
Under the boundless desert, the setting sun was like blood!
The lonely figures continued on their way. As they supported each other, they welcomed the morning sun and followed by the sunset. Finally, the tall figure fell first. The delicate figure tried to pull him up, but she also fell.
The howling wind and sand gradually buried everything on the ground…
Inside Wind Gorge Pass.
"Liu Yuan, don't go back. From now on, take the 20,000 soldiers in the pass and set off. Within a day, contact all the reinforcements.”Long Qingying took out a token and gave it to Liu Yuan.
" Sir…" Liu Yuan was puzzled.
"Within a day, gather 200,000 troops and guard the back of the pass. No matter what happens, do not act rashly.”Long Qingying didn't give him a chance to retort.
"But Long Shuai, you only have 30,000 soldiers to support Your Highness. The orcs have already surrounded us.”Liu Yuan could not help but ask.
" Five days later, act according to the signal." Long Qingying gave him some instructions.
Liu Yuan was puzzled and could only carry out the order with the token.
Long Qingying watched him leave, then ordered the guards to gather the troops and get ready to leave.
In the front line, Huang Ming was defending against the fierce attacks of the orcs, but he didn't panic. He believed that Long Qingying would come and support him.
As time passed, the orcs 'encirclement was gradually completed. The army of hundreds of thousands of orcs was completely surrounded, but Long Qingying's army still hadn't arrived.
" Your Highness, we're surrounded!" A ten thousand cavalry commander, covered in wounds, rushed forward.
"Surrounded! Surrounded! If you don't know how to, charge!" Huang Ming was a little scared. According to his plan, Long Qingying would march straight into the orcs when they surrounded them. After they met up, the orcs would be torn apart from the middle. Huang Ming was quite pleased with himself when he thought of such a strategy!
"Qing Ying, ah Qing Ying, do you really want this king to be captured here? What are you thinking? Are those rumors true?”At this point, Huang Ming started to let his imagination run wild.
Casualties continued to increase. The 400,000 soldiers were trapped by the Demon Beast alliance army. The reports of them not being able to hold on kept coming in, and Huang Ming started to despair.
In fact, Huang Ming didn't need to despair. It wasn't easy for the orcs to devour the well-equipped regular army of the Imperium. He just collapsed because he didn't see Long Qingying's support.
With the support of the left and right generals, the army still managed to hold on for a day. The Orcs 'attacks gradually weakened, but the second day was even fiercer than the first day, not giving the dynasty's army a chance to breathe.
At noon, the thunderous sound of hooves came from the direction of the pass. Long Qingying had finally arrived.
Everyone's spirits were lifted, and Huang Ming almost fell off his horse. The dynasty's army finally began to counterattack.
In the evening, Long Qingying rushed into the encirclement and met up with Huang Ming. However, after getting excited, Huang Ming found that Long Qingying had only brought twenty to thirty thousand men with her.
"Qingying…where are our troops?”
"Inside the pass!" Long Qingying said casually.
"Qingying, are you still angry with this king?”Huang Ming was anxious.
"Does Your Highness not believe in Qingying's ability?”Long Qingying said with a smile.
"Of course not, but our current military strength is far less than the enemy.”Huang Ming finally knew that he had fewer soldiers.
"Then we can only fail." Long Qingying made a rare joke.
Huang Ming opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
"Alright, Your Highness, don't worry. There's still Qingying!”" It's time to be serious," Long Qingying said." Soon, we'll see who wins."”Sighing lightly, he looked at the main army of Magical Beasts in the distance.
Outside the Wind Gorge Pass, the Beastmen army was densely packed in front of them. Kankula was personally leading the army.
"Haha, General Ye, you should go back and think about how to eat Long Qingying.”Kankula wasn't stupid enough to let the demon army follow him.
"How can Leonis say that? Since we are sincerely working together, how can we let the nobles fight alone?”Ye Mei wanted to fight for it.
"General, don't forget that the human army is eyeing us from behind. Your mission is not small either!”Kankula would not budge no matter what.
"…In that case, I'll wait for Leonis's good news!”Ye Mei thought for a while and finally gave in.
"Alright, just wait for this king's good news!”Although he said that, Kankula was still thinking about how to kill the hundreds of thousands of demons after he attacked them. By then, he would get Long Qingying and Ye Mei, the two top women on the continent. He would not have lived in vain.
After Ye Mei smiled at Kankula, she turned around with her army and prepared to attack the dynasty's army head-on. Behind them, there were still 200,000 orcs.
On the top of Mount Gesa, Fire Dance looked at the exhausted faces. Out of the 120,000 soldiers, 10,000 had fallen off the cliff, 20,000 had frozen to death, and 20,000 had suffered losses in the avalanche. The Clear Shadow Legion had suffered heavy casualties this time. They would not be able to recover in a few years.
"Long live Qingying!" Fire Dance raised her Flame.
"Long live Qingying!" Tens of thousands of people had tears in their eyes, for Long Qingying's selfless sacrifice, for their comrades who hadn't been buried in the snow mountain, and for the unprecedented march in the history of this continent!
"Let's go!" Following Yang Chong's order, tens of thousands of people were hiding behind the allied army.
Huang Ming felt that the orcs had not attacked for a long time. He thought for a while and suddenly turned pale with fright.
"…Qing Ying…will the orcs attack the fortress again like last time?”His voice was trembling. If the fortress was cut off and there were no more supplies, they would be finished no matter how many people they had.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Beastmen's figures have already filled every part of the fortress.”
Hearing Long Qingying's words, Huang Ming's face turned pale. He found that when Long Qingying was not serious, it was the scariest thing in the world.
"Sister Ye, Qingying can finally meet you.”Long Qingying thought to herself.
In the wee hours of the morning, the dynasty's army advanced forward. However, after walking for a long time, they still did not find any Magical Beast troops. Huang Ming's mind was blank. He knew how sturdy the fortress was. His troops did not bring any siege tools. If the Beastmen took over, it would be the end of the dynasty.
Only Long Qingying's calmness brought him some comfort.
Kankula was preparing to launch a fierce attack, but he found that there wasn't a single guard on the fortress wall. He was confused. No matter how weak the human army was, and how successful Ye Mei's plan was, Long Qingying should have left some guards in the fortress!
After waiting for a long time, no one came up. Kankula could not care less. He was not afraid of an ambush. Even if it was an ambush, the number of people was limited. It would not hurt many of his men.
Kankula waved his hand, and a tidal wave of attacks was finally launched. The pillar that broke through the city easily knocked open the door, and the orc army swarmed in. When Kankula rushed in, there was a moment of silence inside, and the orcs did not dare to move.
The strange scene continued for a while before the orcs finally confirmed that there was not a single guard inside the pass!
Kankula couldn't care less. It was the first time in a hundred years that the orcs had stepped into this iron gate made of countless corpses. His hands were trembling. Hundreds of thousands of troops quickly occupied every corner of the pass. After resting, they would wait for the news and reinforcements from outside the pass. When the army marched south, Wind Capital would be in Kankula's hands!
"Right General Ren Qiang!" When the army was about a hundred miles away from the pass, Long Qingying suddenly gave an order.
"Yes!" Ren Qiang urged his horse forward.
"I order you to lead 150,000 men from the right wing and turn around quickly to surround the Orc reinforcements! Tomorrow morning, they would attack on time. At that time, there would be troops at the rear to support them.”
"Listen up!" Although Ren Qiang found it strange, he had no choice.
Long Qingying had chosen him for a reason. In the imperial army, there were many forces. Left General Zheng Guang obviously supported Huang Ming, and Liu Yuan was Long Qingying's confidant. She also knew the forces of the Fierce Tiger Legion and the forces of the Clear Shadow Legion. Ren Qiang was the only one who didn't support any side, which was why Long Qingying gave him this task. She could only use him for now.
