When Lin Muyu returned to Zhongnan City with the remnants of the demons, it was almost noon, and heavy snow was falling.
Tang Xiaoxi led the elite cavalry of the Gendan Battalion in Zhongnan City to greet them twenty miles outside the city, and the two sides met on the snowy field.
Tang Xiaoxi was overjoyed to see Lin Muyu return safely.
However, when Tang Xiaoxi's eyes fell on Qianfeng, Qianfeng was still a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
"The defeated general Qianfeng Jianxi, Your Highness."
He bowed respectfully, using the manners a demon would treat a princess.
"No need to be polite, I am not Feng Yuan's daughter."
Tang Xiaoxi said with a faint smile: "Feng Yuan has always treated me like a daughter.
What you want is the demonic power in my body."
Qianfeng was a little stunned: "Princess Xi, do you still remember what the gods did to you back then?"
"I will never forget."
Tang Xiaoxi got on her horse, her red cloak spinning in the snow.
She turned around and took a deep look at Qianfeng and said, "If it weren't for your Holy Master and Yao Ji, I wouldn't have killed Xiao Yin.
I've had this hatred all my life.
I will never forget it.
Qianfeng, the alliance between humans and demons is just Mu Mu’s wish.
I respect King Qin’s wishes, but that doesn’t mean I don’t hate the demons.”
Qianfeng laughed at himself: "Well, I am the marshal of the God Clan.
Now that your Majesty and the two princesses are dead, their heads are missing, and all the hatred will be vented on me, Qianfeng."
That’s too much.”
Lin Muyu came over holding the reins of the war horse, put her hand on Tang Xiaoxi's leg on the horse's back, and said: "Xiaoxi, don't say it.
At this moment and that moment, some accounts were settled on Qianfeng's head.
For him, Not fair."
Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said softly: "Yes, I understand."
Lin Muyu looked at Qianfeng again and said: "The heads of Feng Yuan, Feng Jing'er, and Feng Ning'er were sent to Dongshuang City by the Tianji Empire as gifts.
I have ordered them to be buried grandly with the etiquette of the king of the Qin Empire. " "real" Qianfeng's body trembled subconsciously and said: "Thank you, Your Highness King Qin.
After things settle down, can I go pay homage to His Majesty and the two Princesses?"
"That's your freedom."
Lin Muyu breathed out and said, "Everyone has been walking all night.
Come into Zhongnan City quickly and eat something hot, otherwise many people may get sick."
"good."
Tang Xiaoxi said: "Mu Mu, you really have to allow these demons to enter Zhongnan City."
Her meaning is self-evident.
Three months ago, the demons were fighting a bloody battle with the empire in the Eight Wastelands.
They were mortal enemies of each other.
But now they want the two armies to coexist peacefully.
I am afraid many people will not be able to accept this fact.
"Xiao Xi, what do you think?"
Lin Muyu asked.
Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips: "Lingdan Camp and the Zhongnan family's army have fought many times, and they have long had deep grudges.
If they are allowed to enter Zhongnan City, friction will inevitably occur.
I think it is better to let Qianfeng lead the demon army to station in Zhongnan City.
Let’s go to a small town outside the city.
There are enough houses there, and food can be transported from Zhongnan City.”
"What does Marshal Qianfeng mean?"

Lin Muyu asked.
Qianfeng looked calm: "Your Highness, just call me Qianfeng.
The Gods have suffered a tragic defeat and I am no longer the marshal.
As for the location, it all depends on His Highness's arrangements."
"Don't worry."
Lin Muyu patted his shoulder lightly and said: "You God Clan will rise again, let's get through this period first.
Besides, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in Zhongnan City for too long."
"Why?"
Tang Xiaoxi asked in shock.
Lin Muyu cast her gaze towards the northern snowy areas, revealing a hint of helplessness and sadness, and said: "Zhongnan City is located on the Eight Wastelands.
To the north of the Eight Wastelands is the Snowy Area, but there is no danger at all in between.
There are only a few passes.
They are only a few meters high.
If we stick to the Eight Wastelands, the losses will be very heavy."
"What do you mean, Mumu?"
"Get ready to retreat to Tongtian Gorge."
Qianfeng was shocked: "Does His Highness Yu want to give up the huge Eight Wastelands to the Tianji Empire?"
"We have no choice."
Lin Muyu brushed off the snow on his shoulders, took the reins of Tuxue and said: "Longdan Camp cannot be wasted in vain.
In the battle last night, Wei Qiu must have suffered a lot.
There should be few people” Tang Xiaoxi felt a little sad and said: "In order to save these people from the demon clan, more than 13,000 people from the Gendan Camp have been killed in the snowy area from last night to now, and more than half of the 6,000 people who came back were injured. , even Wei Qiu himself was seriously injured and is currently resting in Zhongnan City.
After just one night, our wounded barracks and medicine are no longer enough. " "ah" Lin Muyu felt a pain in her heart and clenched her fists.
Qianfeng frowned and said: "It is all my fault for letting Gendan Camp suffer such losses.
Please rest assured, His Highness Yu, the Tianji Empire will destroy my entire clan, but I, Qianfeng, will definitely fight with Tianji if I am still alive."
The empire will fight to the end” "Well, keep your strength first and let's go."
Lin Muyu got on his horse and said: "Come here, send more scouts to inquire about the situation of the Long Ji Corps.
In addition, send the scout War Eagle to investigate the coastal area."
"yes" The wind and snow were swaying, and the team meandered towards the direction of Zhongnan City.
Zhongnan City, this ancient city with thousands of years of mottled walls, is like an old man standing on the northern border of the mainland.
When a powerful enemy comes, this old man seems so vulnerable that he cannot stop it.
Zhongnan City's Iron Heel Attack.
Qianfeng's subordinates arranged to go into a small town to rest.
Although it was just a rundown town, it was like a paradise for the demons who had been lingering in the frozen polar region for several months.
They could drink a sip of hot water. , eating a delicious steamed bun is such a luxury for them, even Marshal Qianfeng's face is very ugly, obviously due to lack of nutrition.
Walking on the main street of Zhongnan City, horses' hooves trampled on the thick snow, making the sound of rustling.
"Is Long Yu Douxuan really not afraid of the magic crystal cannon?"
Tang Xiaoxi thought for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask.
Lin Muyu nodded: "Yes, Marshal Qianfeng can prove this."
Qian Feng looked miserable and said: "Long Yu Douxuan seems to be the natural nemesis of the magic crystal.
We dispatched five hundred wing brothers to launch a suicide attack, but they did not receive even the slightest effect.
They used their lives to prove it.
Understand the reason why Long Yu Douxuan restrains the magic crystal."
"It's not just them."
Tang Xiaoxi said in a calm voice: "There are also more than 10,000 soldiers from the Gendan Camp who died for their country.
They were also stained with blood on the battlefield because of the power of Long Yu Douxuan."

Qianfeng was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly: "I'm sorry."
Lin Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable.
Tang Xiaoxi's hatred for the demons was far deeper than she imagined.
In this battle, it was indeed because of the demons that the Gendan Battalion lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
This was a huge blow to the imperial army.
It was a heavy blow, but Lin Muyu knew very well that he had to reconcile this contradiction, otherwise it would cause a catastrophe in the future.
"Xiao Xi, the demons are also the victim."
He looked at Tang Xiaoxi beside him with soft eyes and said, "Just imagine, tens of thousands of troops from the Longji Corps cooperated with the Tianji Dragon Cavalry to cross the Northern Glacier Continental Bridge.
A surprise attack happened, and the demon army happened to encounter them in the north.
In fact, it was the demons who blocked this attack for our Great Qin Empire.
In a sense, we have to be grateful for the sacrifices made by the demons. " Tang Xiaoxi opened her mouth in astonishment and murmured, nodding.
Lin Muyu's words woke up the dreamer, causing her to make some changes instantly.
Qianfeng's voice was very bitter: "It's a pity that the price of this sacrifice is the lives of His Majesty and the two His Highnesses of our clan."
"Ning'er is my friend, and I won't let her die in vain."
Tang Xiaoxi looked at the sky in the distance with her beautiful eyes, clenched her pink fists, and a faint flame lingered around her, saying: "The Long Ji Corps killed Ning'er, I will definitely settle this account with them, and repay the blood debt with blood."
"Yes, blood debt must be repaid with blood," Qianfeng gritted his teeth.
Lin Muyu remained silent.
What he was thinking about was when to retreat.
Zhongnan City would definitely not be able to stay any longer.
Once the main force of the Tianji Empire crossed the sea, they would be able to encircle Zhongnan City in the blink of an eye.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave.
At this time, they had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Zhongnan City.
Wei Chou walked out with gauze on his shoulders and was supported by several guards.
"Wei Qiu."
Lin Muyu stepped forward to welcome him.
However, Wei Chou's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "Your Highness, my subordinates are incompetent, causing the death of more than 10,000 brothers in the Gendan Camp, and even being unable to recover their bodies.
This is all because of my Wei Chou."
Get over it" Behind him, a group of senior generals from the Gentian Battalion knelt down together.
Almost every one of them was injured and in a state of utter disarray.
Lin Muyu couldn't remember how long it had been since the Gentian Battalion suffered such a defeat.
Ever since the empire developed the magic crystal cannon, the Gentian Battalion had been victorious in every battle.
However, last night's battle left everyone in a state of panic.
The absolute strength of the The gap almost completely destroyed their confidence and morale.
The next priority seemed not to be how to evacuate, but how to rebuild their morale.
"Wei Qiu, get up."
Lin Muyu turned over and dismounted, helped Wei Qiu up, and said: "The soldiers who died in the battle are all warriors of the empire.
They sacrificed their lives for the country, and their names will forever be recorded in the forest of monuments in the country.
Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wei Qiu wiped away his tears and said, "Your Highness, they are too strong."
"I know, go in and have something to eat first."
"yes" "Come here, write a feather letter and send it back to the Eastern Capital, telling King Xin and King Zhong that Dare Long Yu Douxuan can completely defend against the magic crystal cannon, so that they can prepare in advance."
"yes" After entering the hall, several tables of food had been set out, but there were only dishes but no wine.
The Gentian Camp failed miserably.
No one would have the heart to drink today, and they could not taste the taste of the wine.

Qianfeng sat next to Lin Muyu, looking at the delicious food on the table, feeling bitter in her heart. eat Food does not taste good.
But his body needed to replenish nutrients, so Qianfeng ate so much that many captains of the Gentian camp cast disdainful glances.
Qianfeng just lowered his head and ate the food, swallowing in large gulps, as if he was swallowing hatred and shame together
