Chapter 97: West Savage Kingdom Invasion
When he reached the top, it was snowing. The air was fresh and pleasant.
The drifting snow could not reach the valley at all. They had long since melted into water amid the endless beastkin aura.
There was rain at the bottom of the valley and snow above as if two different worlds.
Leaving the strong beastkin aura and murderous aura, the feeling of seeing the world again gave him a mixture of emotions. Qin Yi rubbed his face with the snow in his hands and rushed toward the South Li Kingdom in excitement.
After experiencing several live and death experiences, his cultivation had grown unknowingly.
Innate Stage intermediate period, perfect physical training.
Phoenix Initiation Stage level 4, close to the stage where he could control weapons with spiritual force.
The dual cultivation of immortal and martial art was taking shape more and more.
In the moment of joy, Qin Yi was shocked when he traveled less than a hundred miles.
In the refreshing wind and snow, there was a faint smell of blood. Although it was very faint, Qin Yis senses were all sharpened now.
He walked forward quickly following the smell of blood, then he saw a burned-down village with corpses everywhere the village.
Qin Yi held his breath and turned over a corpse to examine it. The corpses were frozen solid. This didnt happen just now. It had been several days at least.
His eyes were focused on the neck of the corpse, which was the fatal wound. The wound was caused by the scimitar.
West Savage Kingdom invasion!
Qin Yi was astounded, and all his hair stood up. He quickly pasted a Divine Speed Talisman on himself and sprinted toward Li Fire City.
How could there be an invasion at this time?
It will take at least 2 days to go back!
Hope I can make it in time!
South Li Kingdom, Hengshan County.
Clang! Li Qingjuns spear was launched like a dragon, striking the long sword of the general in front and knocking him off the city wall.
Being distracted by the first climbers, the enemy soldiers on the left and right swarmed up.
The silver spear was like dancing with a bloody light in the snow, which was beautiful.
More than a dozen West Savage Kingdom soldiers fell off the city wall.
Li Qingjun was covered in blood. Her eyes were stained by the enemys blood, blocking her vision. She panted slightly, wiped the blood from her eyes, and looked in front of her. There were layers of corpses and broken limbs under the city wall.
The enemies were all over the mountains and plains.
This was the Hengshan County that Qin Yi and the others passed by when they came out of the mountain to look at the bulletin board. It was only a days ride away from the Li Fire City. It was the last barrier to the west of Li Fire City.
Li Qingjun had been guarding here for three days and three nights. Her light armor had been stained with blood.
The West Savage Kingdom invaded not long after Li Qingjun wiped out the remaining rebels of Dong Huazi. The invasion shocked the government. Li Qingjun couldnt be blamed. Even a veteran like Xie Yuan never thought that West Savage Kingdom would choose to launch a large-scale attack during winter. They were caught off guard.
This was totally against conventional military strategy. In this kind of winter weather, it was difficult to march and camp in the wild, and the chance of freezing to death was multiplied. Moreover, during the siege, the city walls were slippery and frozen with ice, which was very disadvantageous to the attackers. It was okay to fight a small-scale war in this season, but it was too wild to launch a large-scale invasion.
The most important thing was that there was no alarm at the border. They didnt even see the smoke signal
There could only be one reason. The border general had surrendered to the enemy and opened the gate to allow the enemy to enter.
Li Qingjun felt very sad.
She had been involved in politics for a long time, so she naturally knew the situation very well. South Li Kingdom had been seriously ill over the years after being ruined by his father and Dong Huazi. Not only had it been in arrears with border wages, but spies from the West Savage Kingdom had also been deployed in the border army. It was not difficult to understand that the border generals would be incited to rebel. If Li Qinglin could bring order to the chaos and manage the government quickly, but Li Qinglin
Li Qinglin did do something, but it was not enough.
Some of the things he did could only be regarded as a decent king in ordinary times. He could barely be praised as a wise king in peacetime, but this was far from peoples expectations of him who was heroic and ambitious. The performance gap was really too big.
In fact, he did not do as many serious things as Li Qingjun. Most of the time, Li Qinglin was just cultivating tao. Li Qingjun wanted to convince herself that her brother was aging and losing energy, but she couldnt.
Li Qingjun herself was inexperienced and lacking in abilities. She was unable to make a comeback in such a short period of time. Before she could spare her hands to manage the border army, the West Savage Kingdom had already marched in in this cold winter season.
South Li Kingdom was too small. As soon as the border was opened, the enemy army had already reached Hengshan County within a few days. Fortunately, Li Qinglin responded quickly at this time. He immediately sent veteran Xie Yuan to lead an elite force to rush to Hengshan County, and then blocked the West Savage Kingdom army outside Hengshan County, preventing the enemy from directly marching into the capital.
Li Qinglin quickly ordered Li Qingjun to rectify the army and rushed to Hengshan County for reinforcements. Only then the situation became a stalemate.
These two orders prove that Li Qinglin was not completely oblivious, but how long could they defend?
The reason why the enemy invaded in this winter soon became clear. They had several shamans to dry out the city wall. This offset a lot of the disadvantages of attacking the city in the winter.
They didnt have this ability in the past, and I dont know if they have secretly figured out some new spells over the years, or if it is due to Dong Huazis contribution.
The enemy had been planning for many years. They trained their soldiers and prepared ration. This time, they even mobilized all their soldiers.
And what about the South Li Kingdom?
Two emperors had been practicing Taoism. The treasury was empty, the government was corrupt, the army had no fighting spirit, and even the people were indifferent without any united enthusiasm to resist.
As soon as the border army was lost, the most elite combat forces of South Li Kingdom were already here. If Li Qingjun couldnt hold on, South Li Kingdom would be destroyed!
Under the city, Prince Mang Zhan of the West Savage Kingdom looked up to the sky and smiled, Why bother defending this tough war, Princess Zhao Yang? My love for princess has never changed. If princess opens the city gate, I will make you my queen. The people of the South Li Kingdom will also become my citizens. The two kingdoms will merge and govern together. Isnt that a good ending?
Li Qingjun shot an arrow without replying. The arrow was like a shooting star. The strong energy of the arrow knocked over Mang Zhans cap far away.
Mang Zhan sneered with a gloomy face, Do you really think you can hold it? This Hengshan County has not prepared for war. This is not a complete defense line at all. I have already sent a general to take a detour and attack Li Fire City. By then, this Hengshan County will be isolated. Even if you want to be a slave, you cant!
Li Qingjun pursed her lips tightly. Xie Yuan had already told her about this possibility, but there was nothing she could do. The opponents military strength was far beyond them, so they had the initiative.
She just hope that her brother could wake up and eliminate all the enemy army that was marching toward Li Fire City.
Mang Zhan knew what she was thinking. He said with a smile, I know that although Li Qinglin has fallen, he is not a fool. Therefore, the army that is attacking Li Fire City is the most elite Bloody Army in our kingdom. Commander Mang You is in command, and the soldiers are all experienced generals. If they were here, Im afraid Princess Zhao Yang would not be so relaxed. Am I not compassionate for beauty? Hahaha
Li Qingjun finally changed er expression.
No wonder we havent encountered a truly powerful enemy general in the past three days. The enemy just wants to hold us here. Their elites are not here.
It would be good if they were here. Im also leading the most elite army of the South Li Kingdom. They may not be able to win if we fortify the defense. It is difficult for the enemy to set up camp in this cold winter season. If we delay for a few days, we can still hope to bring down the enemy. But the remaining army in Li Fire City are far less elite. Coupled with my brothers current condition, can they really compete with the most powerful soldiers led by the veteran commander of the West Savage Kingdom?
For a moment, Li Qingjun even regretted it. I should give up this line of defense and stay in Li Fire City Was my brothers seemingly decisive order wrong?
Mang Zhan stopped talking and waved his right hand.
The horn sounded, and another wave of attacks surged toward the city gate.
This was to put pressure on them so that they couldnt rush to rescue Li Fire City. Li Qingjun felt tired as she looked at the enemy army all over the mountains and plains.
Qin Yis figure appeared in her heart.
Are you still looking for the solution to the curse
Your promise is to return within half a year, but you may never have thought that South Li Kingdom could not even last two months.
TL: Can Qin Yi return in time? Are Li Qinglin really that corrupted now?
