The palace became so crowded with complaints. The officials gathered in the hall, complaining noisily at each other against the empty seats of the imperial throne in the crucial moments.
Zhong Guofeng suddenly disappeared, even Zhong Wenyue was not present in the palace. The princes were also confused, as basically their army would definitely lose to the attack of a much stronger demon.
At a time like this, only the imperial army and Prince Mingfeng's army could deal with it temporarily. Merely, the two important figures had suddenly disappeared as if they had never existed in the world.
This year there were too many tragedies that befell, causing the ministers to feel that the empire would be wiped out and start preparing all means for survival.
The empire that survived for thousands of years is unfortunate to be destroyed by a group of demons that flocked to attack. The human race at a critical time.
Amidst the debate between the officials of the two camps until the hall became violent, a bone-chilling cold aura suddenly came accompanied by a gust of wind that left all of them speechless. They looked back, finding the figure of a woman with a beautiful but flat face that was clearly exposed. Just by looking at it, they already knew who dared to suddenly quirk such an aura.
He walked a little quickly past the officials who were splitting the crowd. His steps stopped in front of everyone, right under the iron chair.
Zhong Xiaorong swept a glance towards the officials and the silent prince looked at him. The Queen's crown was fixed on her head, not as big as the Empress's crown, but it very clearly showed her high position.
"It's over?" Zhong Xiaorong spoke in a calm tone, although he was a bit nervous and overzealous. "Emperor does not exist in the empire, as Queen Xue, I have the right to control the imperial situation filled with these chaotic people, as long as the Emperor does not exist. For where the Emperor went or anything else, no one has the right to question him."
"Ninth Princess, this is not the time to play around. Don't you see what's going on out there? If the Emperor does not exist, who will deploy troops to defend the country!" Third Prince, Zhong Xiaorong's other half-brother pointed at the woman furiously.
"Third Prince, you dare to point at me like that, have you forgotten your position? Don't forget, I'm not the 'Ninth Princess' anymore." Zhong Xiaorong looked at the man sharply.
"Although you are the Queen, your only duty is to control the internal situation. This matter concerned the country, it was better for Queen Xue not to involve herself in danger." A minister speaks in a low tone, but there is an understatement in the interpretation of his speech.
Zhong Xiaorong looked at him, then pulled an eyebrow. "Then, are you going to be on the front line when fighting demons? Then I'm very grateful."
"Queen Xue, this is not the time to play around!" The minister was a little afraid to hear it. What if he was actually placed on the front line and died first?
"I know it's not time to play games, so I'm very serious about what I'm saying. For this matter, the Emperor has handed it over to me, including taking over the military from the hands of Prince Mingfeng."
They all fell silent. Is that woman joking? How could the Emperor so recklessly hand over the military to a woman! Although Zhong Xiaorong was not weak, his knowledge of the military was still insufficient. They doubt it will all be okay.
"Ninth sister, it's time for you to go home. You think, even if you get the title of queen, there'll be a lot of people who believe?" The Third Prince denied. He could not believe that his younger brother was suddenly wielding the military power he had been craving. That woman must be bragging!
"Did the Third Prince not believe it or not want to believe it?" Zhong Xiaorong pulled the corner of his lips. This third brother was indeed a bit stupid, but his ambition was incredible. He was lucky Zhong Guofeng let him live among the many princes who died because of his folly.
"Ninth sister, I'm talking about your kindness. Does your husband mind if you're here now? It could be that he was looking for you for having escaped from the Yan Clan for the umpteenth time."
"Oh, huh?" Zhong Xiaorong turned his gaze towards the open door. "Random!"
"Emperor's decree, kneel down!"
Everyone spontaneously turned towards the eunuch who was about to recite in front of the door. They knelt down and bowed without exception, including Zhong Xiaorong.
"Ninth Princess, Princess Youmei, Queen of Xue, Zhong Xiaorong, virtuous and high-minded, intelligent and initiative, courageous and loyal, contributed to the selfless country, the, awarded the imperial military stamp to lead troops facing crisis, completely diverting military power!" The eunuch spoke slowly and clearly, letting everyone hear him. "Honor!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone prostrated on the decree issued. They were all almost in disbelief, so shocked that the very desire to beat themselves up had been trivial. They wouldn't have expected, the Emperor would pay great attention to Queen Xue. Already granting him the highest title and internal control of the palace, it now gave him the military stamp to control the main army trained by the Emperor himself. It really ....
Zhong Xoaorong received the edict scroll from the Eunuch on the Emperor's side, then put on a wide smile towards his beloved third brother.
"Third Prince, are you satisfied?"
The Third Prince regardless of his shock, then looked at Zhong Xiaorong in disbelief. "Queen Xue, does your husband know that?"
Zhong Xiaorong replied calmly, "Of course. Calm down, Yan Yao is a person of the Yan Clan, will not interfere in the affairs of the court of the palace."
Zhong Xiaorong then retrieved the military stamp box the servant had prepared to hand over. Ketia cap was taken, she looked at everyone present.
They all knelt down instantly, seeing the military stamp, as if looking at the Emperor, regardless of who was holding it.
"The devil has come to declare war, we cannot possibly just sit around waiting for death. Here, I specifically represent the Emperor giving orders, to fight to defend the country from destruction. Some cities have been conquered suddenly, I asked the generals to lead the troops to go to the remaining cities to provide reinforcements. Instead, save the living, return to the Capital safely. We will fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Liu Chang arrived at Tianshang Academy after a series of battles with demons on the way. There are too many demons wandering around bringing real terror to every human being. He even had to bring some people on the road who almost killed the devil.
The current Tianshang City had fallen apart and was filled with fear while defending the city door. Some of those who could not fight took refuge inside the academy, the rest stood in every corner of the city just in case.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door had been opened by Dean Bai himself. The old man looked very old, older than 10 years ago. He seemed to be unable to fight anymore, but no one knew that when the first raid was on Tianshang City, he was unable to fight anymore, the old man exerted all his strength to kill the demons and closed the doors of the city and made a shield cover the entire city. To this day, the devil still wanders outside the door.
"Dean Bai." Liu Chang bowed in front of him, then saw Dean Bai's agitated look.
"Thank God you're okay. The current state of the empire was too dangerous. Is the Capital City okay?"
"For now, yes. Rongrong will deploy the imperial army to defend the Capital, the others will also follow."
"I heard some groups make dimensional space for shelter. Initially, there was a group of people who came to bring some citizens. Unfortunately, not many agreed to come along and they couldn't force."
Liu Chang did not know who they were, but he thought it should be the saint beasts. Xie Ruo once said, Qu Xuanzi has prepared help for humans.
"The Dean himself ...."
"I'm too old and have a lot of responsibilities. It is better to fight to the death, or to see the victory of the human race with my own eyes."
Liu Chang understood that. "We're going to win, so the Dean has to see it."
Dean Bai laughed as he patted Liu Chang on the shoulder. "Of those bad boys, only you shamelessly returned to be a mentor for running away from home."
"If there's a chance, we'll all come see the Dean here."
"I'm looking forward to it."
After speaking lightly, they began to speak seriously. Since there were many demons out there roaming around, Dean Bai had already sent out several archers to kill the demons from afar.
Actually that alone was not enough as the demons were extremely thick against ordinary arrow attacks. Therefore, Liu Chang introduced the sniper made by the Iron Hand Association. Although it took a few bullets to kill the demons, it was enough to make them injured. Moreover, the bullet was a poisonous bullet made by Mei Liena. The combination would make the weapon lethal to the opponent and very useful during war.
Liu Chang told me how to use it on each archer. In an instant, the archers who stood in the city fortress to kill the demons changed. With the silencer, sniper fire will not arrive and surprise the displaced people.
In addition, Pei Xi and Zhou Kui who had already arrived at the Night Shadow Sect had to immediately coordinate the forces that had been formed. The Iron Hand Association instantly prepared as many weapons as possible and divided them into each soldier who would fight. Not to forget as well, sending the weapon boxes to the academy and empire using the tamed Eagle.
Since there were some demons who could fly, some sect disciples would come along to clear the way for the Eagle's journey to be undisturbed. The speed used is also the maximum to minimize the occurrence of unnecessary battles.
This increasingly severe demonic invasion is very bad for various things. Food supplies become impeded. Luckily the sect had a garden that Mei Liena used to grow medicinal plants, so they could grow potatoes and various other crops to serve as food.
Regarding Mei Liena, the woman had not come or simply piled up for a moment. Since that first attack, Mei Liena no longer joined and chose to go elsewhere.
Pei Xi did not send anyone to search, because the woman did not need anyone to look for her.
"There are several types of demons here, we must avoid the kind of demons that can divide. That's the most troublesome thing. I heard, one demon killed one city and kept splitting into very many."
"Ah, I hope Senior Mei is fine out there." Li Ningzhi who was cornered along with a few men sighed putting on a sad face.
"Sister Li, take it easy, those demons will not be able to hurt Senior Mei. Senior Mei is so great, it can even fight a series with the Association Chairman."
"I so remember with Senior Xie, how's it going?"
Li Ningzhi snorted. Why should I bring up Xie Ruo? Just piss him off.
Then his gaze was directed at Pei Xi who was alone looking at the practicing disciples. Training and shift divisions have already come into effect. Some disciples would exit the sect with some duties; spies, assassins, and hunters. When returning and reporting on assignments, they will practice and alternate with other students on schedule.
Li Ningzhi let the men gossip and walked over to Pei Xi. His smile widened, forgetting the woman he disliked who had just stolen the topic of men.
"Continent Sect, do you want to drink tea? Ningzhi can make it." Li Ningzhi offered with beaming eyes.
Pei Xi glanced at him cynically. "Can you stay a little bit away? Or do I want to throw it out for bait?"
Li Ningzhi's smile froze. Realizing that he was twitching Pei Xi's arm made the man uneasy. He shouldn't have done that!
"Ningzhi is sorry." Li Ningzhi immediately took off her naughty hands and lowered her head. Why is the Sect Leader so fierce? She was already this beautiful, why was the Sect Chief still not interested? Even Shuiyang City Lord was fascinated by him. (Chapter In Yushi, Feet of the Hand of the Demon King)
If it was like that, was the Sect Leader abnormal? He was always with the Chairman of the Association. What don't-don't ....
"One more time seeing me like that, I'll gouge out your eyes." Pei Xi stared intently at Li Ningzhi who looked at him strangely. He also left because he was upset.
Li Ningzhi pouted. His face became ugly. Why do people he likes always stray? With the exception of Qu Xuanzi, everything was nothing normal!
