It was an endless darkness. Just when Wushuang thought that she was going to die, she suddenly heard a voice." Wake up." Wushuang opened her eyes with difficulty. Her entire body was covered in injuries. The pain that penetrated into her bones made Wushuang moan. This was a simple and crude straw hut. Lying on the bed, Wushuang carefully observed this straw hut.
There was only a table and chair. There was nothing in the room. A middle-aged man with a serious face stood by the bed and looked at him. He smiled at Wushuang and said,"You just woke up."
Wushuang could not help but ask,"Where am I? Why am I not dead?"
The middle-aged man smiled at him and said,"You're Zhao Wushuang, right? I'm Rick Franklin. You're Chen Pojun's adopted son, right? Your adoptive father asked you to come to the East to find me."
At that time, Wushuang was a little stunned. She actually didn't die, and she actually met the person she had been looking for for a long time. Wushuang was a little at a loss. She knew that she was going to die, but when she woke up, she found that she wasn't dead. Wushuang was a little stunned at that time.
"Why did you save me?" Wu Shuang asked.
"Why did the North Sea freeze twice in such a short period of time? Only a god-level expert could do that. It seems that you're the only one who has god-level power. Did you do that? Otherwise, the invincible fleet of the Norman Empire would never remain silent in the North Sea. The demons don't have that kind of power at all."
" Yes, I did it," Rick Franklin said calmly.
" Why do you want to help the demons, why?" Wushuang's blood-red eyes tugged at Rick Franklin's collar as he roared," Do you know how many humans you have killed?" As he spoke, Wushuang started to cry. He remembered his brothers who had died in battle.
" When you reach my realm, you'll realize that the conflicts between races are no longer that important. We have a common enemy."
At the same time, the death of Major General Zhao Wushuang and the loss of Jade Gate Pass had brought an even greater shock to the Empire. For the first time, the people of the Empire had a proper understanding of the Demon Race, and their plan to defeat the Demon Race had failed. In the end, although the Empire's Commander personally led tens of thousands of Imperial Cavalry to recapture Jade Gate Pass, Commander Sima De Le had suffered heavy injuries in the battle and suffered heavy casualties.
The Jade Gate Pass, which was said to never fall, had fallen twice in just a few days. It had to be said that it was a joke. Faced with the sturdiest Jade Gate Pass and the disparity in strength, Sima Dele had completely burned the Jade Gate Pass with a big fire. The counterattack of the demons had also caused huge casualties to the Empire's army. Helpless, the Empire had given up on the Jade Gate Pass at the Great Wall and retreated to the Yellow River to gather a second line of defense.
Major General Zhao Wushuang had died in battle, and he was the highest-ranking general in this battle. He was regarded as a hero by the empire, and his brothers were crying silently. The princesses of the royal palace and the demon race were in great sorrow, and the empire was in great sorrow. Under the suggestion of the empress, the entire country mourned and lowered their flags to half-mast to pay tribute to this general.
Regardless of whether they knew or not, they all cried for this young general because he was a hero.
At this time, the Empire's Empress was still young. With the Empress's uncle, the Prince Regent, in power, the Empire's calm surface was surging with waves. On this day, under the dense clouds, the sound of hooves rumbled on the road leading to the Imperial Capital. A group of cavalrymen was galloping towards the falling snowflakes. The cavalrymen carried sabers at their waists and spears on their backs. They were valiant, and their wide black cloaks fluttered in the wind in the snow, like a group of ominous black butterflies flying in the wind and snow. The golden eagles on the corners of their cloaks showed that they belonged to the Empire's most elite Imperial Guards.
The leader was a skinny young general with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was pale and his lips were tightly pursed. He did not wear a cloak, allowing the strong wind blowing against his face to mess up his hair bun. The cold snow fell on his face, and the cold wind blew his cheeks white and blue, but he did not feel anything. He only wanted to whip the horse desperately, because although the wind and snow were cold, they could not extinguish the flames of excitement in his heart.。
Zhao Wushuang died in battle, Sima De Le was heavily injured, and Xiao Feng applied for retirement. The Four Heroes of the older generation were about to retire from the stage of the empire.”
The outline of a black city wall gradually appeared on the horizon covered in dark clouds. Looking at the great city, the young general was excited.""A new era has arrived. As long as he could seize this opportunity. It was not an illusion to replace them as the Four Heroes of the Empire's new generation!”
At dusk, the snow stopped and the clouds dispersed. The cavalry finally arrived at the capital. The arrival of such a large group of people alarmed the garrison troops guarding the city. The officer guarding the city gate poked his head out from the sentry post and asked,""Which unit are you from? Which officer is leading the team?"
The pale-faced young general raised his head proudly and did not answer. "We're from the Undead Battalion of the Imperial Guards," one of the cavalrymen answered loudly. This is our regiment commander!”
To these garrison officers guarding the city gates, a major general was already an unreachable figure, not to mention the commander of the Imperial Guards Undead Camp, which was the famous imperial force of the clan. The garrison officer did not dare to be negligent. He quickly ran out of the sentry post and saluted the young general on the horse."Salute to you, my lord! The wind and snow are very heavy. You've worked hard along the way!”
The young general didn't get off his horse. Instead, he raised his hand and gently stroked his forehead with a calm expression as a return to his bow.
The garrison officer became even more respectful and bowed,""Sir, I'm sorry to have delayed you. However, according to the orders of the Military Affairs Department, the imperial capital was not a city, and soldiers had to follow orders to enter and exit. May I ask if you have a transfer order?"
The young general frowned and looked deeply at the garrison officer. His sharp gaze was almost tangible, causing the other party to tremble in fear. Then, as if very reluctantly, he reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper that was soaked in sweat and handed it over."See." His voice was nasal.
The garrison officer respectfully took it with both hands and slowly unfolded it, reading it word by word softly,"
"Reward Promotion Order:
General Lindijo of the Undead Battalion was brave and resolute in the war against the demons, and his outstanding performance added glory to our Dragon Flag. For this reason, the empire had specially rewarded him and promoted him to vice commander.
He ordered Lin Di to lead the meritorious soldiers to the Imperial Capital to report on their work and receive the award!
Soft!
[Empress: Shangguan Shiyu]
Regent: Shangguan Yuntian
Dragon Empire Calendar Year 9965, December 14th."
After reading it, the garrison officer's attitude became even more respectful. He quickly handed the commendation order back and a fawning smile appeared on his face."So it's General Lindy. This lowly official congratulates you on your promotion…"
"Open the door and release the drawbridge!"
"Ah, I'm sorry to have delayed you! I'll do it now…Open the door for you! Hurry up!"
The city gate opened, and the sound of hooves rumbled. The cavalry swept in like a gust of wind. Above their heads, after the first snow, red clouds filled the sky, reflecting the blood-red sky.
