Lord Zhenguo is thousands of miles away in Beizhou. Even if he rushes back alone, it will take several hours to arrive.
Before that, the two monarchs had no confidence that they could defeat the enemy's Warring States Marshal unless they had the help of Lin Yun's magical weapon.
But they couldn't control Lin Yun's artifact, and couldn't even pull it out, so they could only hope that Lin Yun would wake up.
As long as Lin Yun can wake up, they will have a chance to defeat the enemy Warring States Marshal. If Lin Yun remains unconscious, the last glimmer of hope will be wiped out.
After checking Lin Yun's situation, the two monarchs hurriedly left the palace and headed to the Expedition Gate to begin deploying their troops.
Although Lin Yun did not wake up, and although they felt that the hope of this station was slim, they still could not give up. Even if they had to fight to the death, they still had to defend the royal city and stop the Beiyan army outside the city wall.
Otherwise, once the royal city is lost, the entire Southern Xia will suffer national annihilation, countless people will be displaced, and even suffer massacres by the Beiyan warlords. The consequences will be unimaginable!
Fortunately, among the ten armies of Nanxia Zhenguo, the remaining four armies are now staying in the royal city and have not been sent out.
The cultivation levels of these four generals are all at the level of second-level Martial King. Although they are not as good as Nangong Xieguo, they are still among the top martial arts experts in Southern Xia.
There are four generals guarding the four gates of the royal city, and the two monarchs can also concentrate on dealing with the Warring States Marshals.
In addition, there are many elders from the three major families who also have the cultivation level of King Wu, and some of them are not even inferior to the four generals.
However, they all perform their own duties. Once the battle starts, they will be very busy and it will be difficult to find time to assist the two monarchs in dealing with the Warring States Marshal.
What's more, the enemy country also has many powerful Martial Kings, and they may not be able to cope with it.
The Yuanzheng Gate faces Beiyan, and is the place where the Beiyan army bears the brunt of the attack. It is also the place where the Beiyan army has the largest concentration of troops.
I believe that the Warring States Marshal of Beiyan will definitely appear at the Yuanzheng Gate. Therefore, the two monarchs will also personally guard the Yuanzheng Gate.
Not long after the two monarchs arrived at the Yuanzheng Gate, Nangong Yan, who had just recovered from his injuries, also appeared at the Yuanzheng Gate.
Nangong Yan no longer wore the usual luxurious aristocratic dress, nor the noble silver-white princess crown on her head. Instead, she put on a suit of gold armor and a gold helmet, like a fully armed and heroic female general.
.
"Princess, what are you doing?" Mr. Internal Affairs asked immediately upon seeing this.
Nangong Yan no longer saw sadness and pain in her eyes, but instead looked strong and brave: "Today I will live and die with the soldiers of Nanxia! And I will personally kill the traitor from Dongfang Zhan to sacrifice my father's spirit in heaven!"
Both Nei Zhengjun and Wai Xiaojun looked at Nangong Yan with admiration, then they looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Although Nangong Yan's personal combat effectiveness can be ignored in this battle, her presence on the front line and fighting together with the Nanxia soldiers can play a motivating role and improve the morale of the Nanxia soldiers.
It is for this reason that the two monarchs did not object to letting Nangong Yan join the battle.
The Lord of Internal Affairs arranged for an elder of the Nangong family to be responsible for protecting Nangong Yan, and then he and the Lord of Foreign Affairs boarded the podium to make the final general deployment.
While the Southern Xia Royal City was being intensively deployed, Beiyan was also speeding up its march and continued to advance towards the Royal City.
Finally, when the soldiers of Nanxia were in their respective positions, the army of Northern Yan arrived as expected and appeared on the horizon to the north of the royal city.
That mighty army of hundreds of thousands, like a black tide, monopolized the entire horizon as far as the eye could see.
Seeing such a grand scale, the soldiers of Nanxia couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
But even though their hearts trembled, they had to bravely stand up to resist. Because they all knew that behind them were countless civilians.
The mighty army kept pressing forward, and when it was about to enter the range of long-range weapons, it suddenly stopped advancing.
A general riding a golden bull, wearing dark gold scale armor, and holding a thunder halberd stood out from the army and walked to the front of the army.
"Is that the newly promoted Warring States Marshal of Beiyan?" Lord Nei Zheng looked at the general riding the golden bull, with a flash of deep fear in his eyes, but more of it was doubt.
Nan Xia and Bei Yan have been hostile to each other for many years, and almost all powerful generals from both sides have fought against each other.
Although the Lord of Internal Affairs is in charge of internal affairs, he also knows the powerful men of Beiyan very well. But he has never seen or even heard of the newly promoted Warring States Marshal in front of him. Where did this guy come from?
"The level of the seventh-level Martial King is actually higher than that of the Zhenguo King! When did Beiyan give birth to such a powerful person?" Wai Xiaojun also felt unprecedented pressure, but at the same time he was also very puzzled.
The birth of such a powerful person in Beiyan should be shocking news that shocked the whole country. Why is there no information at all in Nanxia?
"Soldiers of the Southern Xia Kingdom, listen up. I will give you a way to survive now. As long as you are willing to surrender and submit, you can avoid this war!" Marshal of the Warring States Period swept the thunder halberd in his hand, and the ground was instantly torn by lightning, and the solid rocks were torn apart.
It was instantly blown into powder.
"Surrender?"
The Lord of Internal Affairs sneered sarcastically: "The soldiers of Southern Xia are all good men of flesh and blood, with strong bones. They will not surrender!"
The Warring States Marshal laughed contemptuously: "Now that things have happened, do you think Beiyan is still the Beiyan of the past?"
"What do you mean?" Mr. Nei Zheng frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
Marshal Warring States said: "You don't know the truth at all, let me tell you. Beiyan has become a subsidiary state of the Assassination Society, a branch of the Assassination Society. You, a small country in Southern Xia, have the ability to compete with the behemoths of the Assassination Society.
Competing?!"
After hearing this, the faces of the Nanxia soldiers changed drastically, and their faces were instantly filled with horror and despair.
The Assassination Society, a mysterious killer organization, is a third-level force that can compete with large empires. Its system is extremely large, and its power is distributed throughout almost the entire territory of thousands of countries.
Although the Nanxia soldiers had no contact with this organization, they had all heard the chilling rumors.
According to legend, a hundred years ago, the Chu Kingdom, one of the four super kingdoms, launched a war and invasion against the neighboring Kingdom of Zhao.
When the Zhao Kingdom was on the verge of life and death, it spent a lot of money to hire a mysterious assassin organization - the Assassination Society.
Within a few days, the assassins of the Assassination Society quietly sneaked into the palace of Da Chu, assassinated the prince of Da Chu under the eyes of the four high-level martial kings, and then left safely.
This incident completely angered the King of Chu. He persuaded the other three super kingdoms to join forces with them to launch an unprecedented massacre against the Assassination Society. However, it ended with the death of the General Marshal of the Four Nations Allied Forces.
The invincible generalissimo, the strongest man in the Great Chu Kingdom, the man who was said to be about to break through to the Wuzong realm. His head was hung by assassins from the Assassination Society on the camp of the Four Nations Allied Forces as a warning.
This incident completely shocked the four super kingdoms. From then on, the four super kingdoms never dared to provoke the Assassination Society again. After that, the name of the Assassination Society was resounding throughout the entire Thousand Kingdoms.
