Chapter 332: Large army sieging the city (2/2)
There was no other way.Although the garrisons of the various states could not come, the marquises were all top experts of the Southern Summer Country, each one being experienced generals.It was enough for them to take up important duties.
With these people helping out in Imperial City, this battle’s chance of success would be much higher!
The Divine Wind Marquis said in a low voice, “I heard the senior marshal, he…..”
Meng Qingwu gave a heavy nod.
In that moment, all the marquises could not say a word.Whether it was the Divine Wind Marquis, the Golden Arrow Marquis, the Western Marquis, or the others, they all had to respectfully call Dongfang Zhan marshal.This was because they had all served under Dongfang Zhan before and were filled with admiration for him.
With the pillar of the country collapsing, how could they not sigh?
“What is the current situation?”The Green Wood Marquis said, “How should we fight?”
Meng Qingwu had already made many contributions.The Source Energy Guns and the Source Energy Bombs, these items could increase the Imperial City’s defense success rate by several times, but the final fate of Imperial City was not something Meng Qingwu could predict and depended on the heavens.Meng Qingwu was a merchant and did not have any experience analyzing the battlefield. She only knew that the War Hounds were strong, very strong, and deploying the troops would depend on these people.
With the Calm Martial Ruler absent, the Burning Sun Ruler was the highest military officer, so he was in charge of the deployment, “From now on, the city will fall under martial law.All the food will be collected, none of the citizens may leave, and the mercenary groups will participate in the fight. Green Wood Marquis, Divine Wind Marquis, you will defend the south side.Golden Arrow Marquis, West Suppressing Marquis, you will protect the east side. Western Marquis, Far East Marquis, the west side will be given to you. The Refined Ruler and I will be responsible for the north side.As for the distribution of forces…..
The Southern Summer Imperial City quickly deployed their troops, but the War Hounds Kingdom was also quickly gathering and increasing their marching speed.This was because the Fang King was clear that he had a limited time. The Calm Martial Ruler’s two hundred thousand cavalry and the Green Cloud Marquis’ two hundred thousand cavalry, once they retreated from Cang State, this four hundred thousand cavalry team will head for Imperial City and the War Hounds will fall into a crisis.
The key to this battle was speed!
The Fang King had to capture Imperial City before the Calm Martial Ruler could return.Once they took the Imperial City, the Southern Summer Country would have no power to resist.
Finally, the War Hounds army appeared to the north of Imperial City.
That vast wave of War Hounds far surpassed their imaginations and the Imperial City army could not help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.The flags was like a wave in the sea, with around seven hundred to eight hundred thousand soldiers in front of them. There was no difference from when they attacked the frontlines.
This was strange.
An army could not increase as they fought!
The defenses were winning before the War Hounds broke through, they lost at least two hundred thousand people.Why was there more people in the army now?
The Burning Sun Ruler and the Refined Ruler found the problem, there were many old enemies in the the large army.From the information they had, these old War Hounds tribes had not participated in the war for a long time.
If was clear the War Hounds had not completely submitted to the Fang King, there were some old War Hounds tribes that had not joined the war yet.The Fang King was making a gamble, if he could break through the frontline defenses, those old tribes would join the battle. If the Fang King was defeated, these old tribes would leave the Fang King and the Fang King would be alone.
Those old tribes not accepting the Fang King’s power wasn’t allowed.
The Fang King’s army had a rare airborne unit.
There were close to twenty thousand people who were all riding vultures.It was a group of vulture knights that were clearly for resisting the Imperial City’s griffin knights.
It was too unbelievable.
The vulture unit and the demon wolf unit, they both had the same armour and mounts.It was clearly built and cultivated with great ability.
The War Hounds’ cultivation skills were quite good, but they couldn’t breed this many of the same mounts.The War Hounds’ equipment forging ability was very crude, how could they create such an army?
The Fang King rode a three headed demon wolf and walked out towards Imperial City.
“Is this the newly crowned Fang King?”The Burning Sun Ruler felt a pressure coming from the Fang King.This person’s cultivation was probably higher than his and even the Calm Martial Ruler might not be able to compare, “It’s actually an unknown person!”
A large group of War Hounds Kingdom members came with the Fang King.There were three-four True Spirit Realm experts who were all tribe leaders of the old tribes as well as the Southern Summer traitor, Wang Tianlong.The Fang King had brought out all his strength this time, clearly prepared to take Imperial City in one fight!
The disparity in strength was too bid and the Southern Summer’s capture was imminent.However, the Fang King did not show any excitement as he said with a stern expression, “Was Malim killed by the two of you?!”
Who was Malim?The Burning Sun Ruler and the Refined Ruler were both stunned!
“I killed him!”
A female’s voice sounded from the walls.
Meng Qingwu was not wearing her usual white robe, rather she was wearing a silver armour that made her look like a valiant general.
Gu Qianqiu was shocked, “Chairman Meng killed that person!”
The Burning Sun Ruler asked in a strange voice, “What?Is that person’s background big?”
“Of course!” Gu Qianqiu angrily said, “Malim is the vice leader of the Hell Song Tribe and was the True Spirit Realm Expert that killed my king with Wang Tianlong!”
“True Spirit Realm Cultivator?”
Everyone was shocked.
Meng Qingwu was such a weak woman and she actually killed a War Hounds True Spirit Cultivator?
This news was just too shocking.Just based on the merit of this severed head, Meng Qingwu could already be named a marquis.After all, throughout the years, the Southern Summer Country had never killed a War Hounds True Spirit Expert.If a War Hounds True Spirit Expert fell, it was from their internal struggle.
The entire War Hounds army fell into turmoil.
Malim was actually killed by this weak girl?The Fang King’s face looked very sinister and his eyes seemed like they would shoot out flames!
