The border area between the Moon Empire and the Sword Dynasty is blocked by mountains and rivers, and the roads are rugged.
There are only three roads in total that can connect the two countries.
On the road, the terrain is complex, with mostly mountain roads, uphill and downhill, steep and difficult to navigate.
The middle road is full of trails, so complicated that you will get lost in the vast mountains if you are not careful.
The lower road is the widest, most stable, and most suitable for large armies to spread out. It is also the place where ancient beasts are most common.
Unfortunately, Shuiyue State, led by Xiao Yi, is connected to the bottom lane and is also a battleground for military strategists.
What was even more unfortunate was that within a few days of taking office, he was attacked by enemy troops.
Haha, so entrusting you with important tasks means that nothing good will happen.
A road runs through the valley.
Thousands of troops and horses trampled past.
A Zhenyueguan, with a towering crescent-shaped city wall, connects the two mountain walls and cuts off the avenue.
The soldiers guarding the city, bows and arrows bent, eyes solemn.
For ten years, there has been no war between the Moon Empire and the Sword Dynasty.
But everyone knows that as long as one side is not destroyed, the other side will not give up.
All in all, war will come sooner or later.
It just happened by chance.
At this moment, at Zhenyue Pass, 50,000 soldiers were already standing densely on the city wall, staring closely at the movements of the 200,000 troops in the distance.
Damn it, it's really dark.
Princess Fengyue, as the guard general, rushed to the city tower immediately to inspect the troop movement.
At the same time, she was also paying attention to the movements of the enemy army.
There has been no war for ten years, which undoubtedly makes people a little nervous.
Princess Fengyue has only been in office for three years, and it can be said that she has no experience in combat command.
Although, she pretended to be calm and gave orders.
But that urgent voice could not conceal her nervousness and fear.
Originally, a large army was pressing down on the territory, and the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered.
Everyone was a little scared. Now that they saw the guard like this, their morale suddenly dropped.
At this time, we especially need someone who can stabilize the morale of the military.
In fact, Princess Fengyue also knew in her heart that there was a high probability that she would not be able to command this battle well.
Not to mention, the enemy has an army of 200,000 men.
We still don’t know what kind of masters have come to the enemy camp.
Princess Fengyue herself has a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Holy Realm, and she only has five decent ones at her disposal, but the most powerful ones are only at the third level of the Holy Realm.
If you join the enemy and come prepared, you will be in trouble.
The situation is precarious and a war may break out at any time.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the thunder roared loudly, shaking the sky and the earth, deafening.
Everyone was startled by this momentum at first, and then looked up in shock.
All he saw was a tall figure of Wei Ran falling from the sky, thunder and electricity crackling all over his body.
Immediately afterwards, there was a man and a woman following closely behind, all of whom had advanced cultivation and extraordinary skills.
Xiao Yi and Cheng Ye met halfway and came to Zhenyue Pass together.
The three of them stood on the tower, with their hands behind their backs, arms folded, one hand on their hips, their clothes flying in the wind, looking down into the distance.
There was a storm in the sky and a solemn silence on the ground.
That posture is one that can be blocked by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand others.
When Princess Fengyue saw Xiao Yi, she immediately saw her backbone.
She heard from the thousand-year-old tyrant that this person was extremely powerful and could defeat the Thunder Saint a few times.
Now that this person is in charge, there is no need to worry about being unable to retreat from the enemy.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw such a master, they felt reassured, and their morale suddenly returned.
In this way, Xiao Yi came and didn't have to do anything. Just standing there was a spiritual support.
After all, it is a superior-subordinate relationship, and reporting is still required.
Princess Fengyue also jumped onto the city tower and informed Xiao Yi that a letter asking for help from Yue Capital had been sent. I believe that after receiving the letter, the Millennium Tyrant will definitely mobilize a large army to provide rapid support.
There are 50,000 soldiers at Zhenyue Pass, so it is not a problem to defend it for ten days.
And within ten days, reinforcements will surely arrive.
So, there is nothing to worry about.
Xiao Yi frowned after listening to the report.
According to current observations, the Sword Dynasty's army arrived under Zhenyue Pass and began to set up camp, looking like it would take a long time.
Isn't this wrong?
There is no need for the offensive side to consume it. Is their coach okay? Do they have enough food and grass?
Not only Xiao Yi, but also others felt something was wrong.
It feels like the Sword Dynasty’s army is not here to attack Zhenyue Pass, but to attack this chokepoint.
We can boldly guess that they have an ulterior motive for this trip.
Just when everyone was thinking about the purpose behind Sword Dynasty's mobilization of troops, another piece of news came.
It is said that it was not just the bottom lane that spotted their army.
Even the middle and mountain roads have their people.
In other words, all three roads were blocked by the Sword Dynasty's army and all were prohibited from passing.
After understanding the situation, Xiao Yi frowned again.
It can be concluded now that Sword Dynasty’s intention this time is not to attack, but to defend.
But, I don't know what they are guarding.
Is it to prevent people from the Sword Dynasty from running to the Moon Empire, or is it to prevent people from the Moon Empire from coming to the Sword Dynasty?
Xiao Yi remembered again how Ye Huoling returned eagerly after receiving the letter.
Presumably, the replacement of old and new thrones in the Sword Dynasty caused turmoil in the court situation.
The current mobilization of border troops is to reduce turmoil to a minimum.
Xiao Yi lowered his head and thought about how to deal with it next.
After all, it's none of your business, just hang on high.
Even if things at Sword Dynasty turn upside down, as long as they don't affect Xiao Yi's peaceful and contented life, that's fine.
Hey, isn't it good for everyone to be peaceful?
You have to fix this and that.
Just when Xiao Yi felt that the war could not be fought, he could go back to sleep with peace of mind.
Suddenly, powerful storms erupted in the camp of 200,000 troops.
There were several powerful forces colliding, and every blow and every move made a loud noise.
Although from a distance, Xiao Yi couldn't see clearly who was fighting and fighting among the Sword Dynasty's army, he could still feel that someone was fighting alone, rushing left and right, but couldn't get out.
The aura was anxious, fearful, and getting more and more chaotic.
To make matters worse, the masters of the Sword Dynasty army are gathering and rushing to the fighting zone.
Such a person who wants to break out of the tight encirclement will probably have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.
Xiao Yi touched his chin, becoming more and more curious.
He wanted to know who he was.
Moreover, after all, the opponent is fighting under his nose and making trouble on his own territory.
All in all, Xiao Yi felt that it would be unreasonable not to say hello.
"Okay, I'll go take a look!"
"Which of you is interested can come with me!"
After saying that, Xiao Yi kicked his foot and he jumped out.
Seeing this, Ji Qing just chuckled.
As soon as she flipped her hair, she floated up lightly, taking advantage of the wind to follow closely behind her.
Cheng Ye didn't want to cause trouble, but he still followed him.
At the same time, he silently blessed him in his heart.
