"It's terrible if this is the case, chances are we won't be able to defend this fortress any longer." General Yuwen Shiji could only take a deep breath and again attack the black-flow warriors who were trying to break through the defensive ranks he made.
The last thing he could do, was to try as much as possible to keep the gate of the fortress from being broken down by the enemy forces. Although he did not know until when he and his entire army could survive.
What he was doing now was simply surviving the onslaught of the enemy for as long as possible.
Now the speech of the God of Medicine back ringed. If the imperial army would not be able to defeat the enemy forces, only a miracle would be able to change the course of the battle and give them hope of victory.
His eyes were hoping for help from the Medicine God. But the Medicine God himself had been so troubled to face his enemy. The circumstances made General Yuwen Shiji unable to expect much from him.
The state of the Medicine God was not much different from the state of the other warriors. Especially now that the troops from the Goguryeo Kingdom and the Sky Khan attacked with full force. The condition made things worse.
The situation continued to be exacerbated by the decision of the Sky Eagle troops who participated in attacking the imperial army. They had all previously only surrounded and attacked the medicinal Gods, but now there were only five people including Roku Suzaku who attacked the Medicine Gods.
While the other Heavenly Eagle army immediately moved to attack the imperial army. From there the condition of the imperial army grew so bad.
The number of Heavenly Eagle troops attacking was indeed only around two dozen. However, it was more than enough to make General Yuwen Shiji and the entire imperial army made moons by them.
The Sky Eagle attack forces General Yuwen Shiji to withdraw his troops, especially the remaining Black Tiger forces. He also gave orders to the warriors who had come with the Medicine God to retreat and help make defenses around the gate. Especially the part above the gate.
General Yuwen Shiji realized the attack of the Sky Eagle Army was too difficult for even the Drug Gods to deal with, let alone the troops he had. Of course their strength is not an opponent who is able to compensate.
Their attacks can be so deadly due to the support of the Fold Earth style they use. Every time the Heavenly Eagle army appeared, the lives of the imperial troops were also reduced by them.
Their condition, which was already so bad, finally got worse. Troops that had previously been seen emerging from within the magical gates, now began to move to attack the He Bei city fortress.
Their number is quite a lot more than a thousand soldiers complete with weapons and armor belonging to the forces of the Sky Khan and also the troops of the Kingdom of Goguryeo. That additional army was an army that had been reinforced with demon seeds.
There are no words to describe how bad things are. So that even a general Yuwen Shiji was able to be made to lose hope of defending the city fortress He Bei longer.
"If today I'm doomed to die, I'd be so proud to die with you!" General Yuwen Shiji spoke in a tone hinting that things were already so bad and that the defense they had made would soon be destroyed.
Besides Xian Hua nodding her head, the man had also prepared for even the worst situation, which was to die.
**
But the worst circumstances were unknown to Generals Yuwen Shiji and Xian Hua, but were known to the God of Medicine earlier. Although at that time he had to keep trying to avoid the rain of attacks from the Sky Eagle Army.
Something so bad he realized after something aura appeared in the distance, precisely emerging from within the magical gate. He thought that aura was from the soldiers inside his body dwelling demon seeds.
But the Medicine God immediately realized, if that aura of power was something else.
"Who else is coming?"
The swordsman felt a bad feeling with the appearance of an aura of power from within the magical gate that was far away.
But before the Medicine God had time to find out, the enemy immediately took advantage of the Medicine God's negligence. Roku Suzaku had appeared on the back side and directly hit his nape.
The Roku Suzaku attack that hit it was so powerful. But the violent beat of Roku Suzaku's attack was actually used by the Medicine God to get away as fast as possible from the enemy's reach.
Not only did the body of the Medicine God slide rapidly downwards, but he actually shot so fast with the intention of joining General Yuwen Shiji who was defending around the gate of the fortress.
"I didn't expect an opponent who came this strong. Let alone the sky eagle demon that attacked me, this is truly a troublesome opponent! This condition will be exacerbated by something coming up!
You must be more aware of what is coming out of the magical gate in the far distance! He would be a more troublesome opponent than the others!" said the God of Medicine while pointing towards the magical gate in the distance.
The decision of the Medicine God to join General Yuwen Shiji was not a coincidence. But he was planned.
Because he was aware of a greater danger compared to the situation they had faced. At first General Yuwen Shiji and Xian Hua who were nearby did not understand the words of the Medicine God.
The two of them frowned hearing the words of the Medicine God. Of course they were confused to hear the words of the Medicine God, if their condition was already pinched and just waiting for time to lose was not the worst thing to face.
But the two retainers from Yang Guang empire kept their eyes fixed on the two of them to the magical gate that appeared far away.
A moment later, the two of them immediately understood over the words of the Medicine God. It was then that something an aura of power so perverted came in the midst of the battle that emerged from the magical gate.
Not only did General Yuwen Shiji and Colonel Xian Hua, but almost all eyes looked at the figure that shot out from the magical gate and just kept darting upwards.
The imperial troops were not yet aware of what was really going on and what figure had appeared so suddenly. But from the enemy forces seemed to have found out who he really was.
The aura and the figure that had appeared was also realized by Roku Suzaku who was standing in the air with the four Heavenly Eagle troops. After successfully attacking the Medicine God Roku Suzaku's gaze was fixed towards the magical gate.
As well as the Medicine God who sensed the aura of power from within the magical gate, Roku Suzaku also felt the same way.
That was why the five of them let the Medicine God escape from the encirclement. All because their attention had been fixed on the magical gates that were far away.
The perverted aura that accompanied the arrival of a figure that had just appeared, was also the concern of the entire Heaven Eagle army. Including those who had previously continued to attack the imperial army. They immediately stopped the action to see the arrival of a new figure emerging from the magical gate.
"Your Majesty has come!" Roku Suzaku spoke directly darting upwards.
So did the other legions of the Sky Eagle. They all immediately followed darting up into the sky to meet a figure that had just appeared.
For they will listen to the command of their supreme leader. The leader of the Sky Eagle tribe who is none other than Karuru or whose real name is Riyoichiro Soga.
**
"We await His Majesty Karuru's orders." Roku Suzaku spoke while bowing respectfully.
Roku Suzaku's actions were also followed by an army of Sky Eagles who came following behind him.
Karuru acted strangely, like she did not heed the arrival of Roku Suzaku who kept her head down in front of him.
"You guys get ready! Soon we will have an enemy to watch out for!"
Roku Suzaku immediately straightened his head to hear his command. His gaze immediately swept forward in the same direction where Karuru's gaze seemed to not blink waiting for something to come.
"You attacked that young man!"
Karuru's cry broke the silence between them all. Of course Roku Suzaku recognized the Karuru-appointed youth who had just appeared above the air while scratching his head.
Although a little hesitant, he finally darted using the Fold Earth style towards the young man who stared at the war with a look of wrath.
