62: Chapter 62 The Enemy is at the Gates

Following such a boss, how could one not achieve great things?!

The two deputy generals brought by General Qin Bei were completely dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at General Qin Bei, then looked at Su Bai opposite them, feeling that their brains were completely insufficient.

General Qin Bei stood in place, stunned for a long time.

It seems that those two Foundation Establishment Yao Beast were indeed killed by his own hands.

To possess such strength and combat awareness with the cultivation of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

Slaying two ordinary Foundation Establishment Early Stage Yao general, it seems... is not an impossible thing after all.

I was, after all, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Thinking of this, the pent-up energy in General Qin Bei's heart dissipated instead.

Replaced by an excitement of discovering a peerless Genius.

Fortunately!

Fortunately, I came today!

Otherwise, letting such a peerless Prodigy completely lean towards Zhou Zheng because of that idiot Chang Feng, that would be the greatest loss for him, General Qin Bei, and even the entire Yunzhou Army!

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

General Qin Bei waved his hand somewhat dejectedly, smiling bitterly as he said: "If we keep fighting, this old face of mine will truly have nowhere to be placed."

Saying this was equivalent to admitting in public that he had lost.

A Golden Core Stage Commander, lowering his head to concede defeat to a Qi Refinement Stage captain!

If this scene were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Yunzhou Army!

General Qin Bei took a deep breath, just about to say something to Su Bai.

Just at this moment!

A burst of urgent horn sounds suddenly rang out from the direction of the Yunzhou City walls, resounding across the entire sky!

"Woo — — Woo — — Woo — —"

Enemy attack!

General Qin Bei's expression changed instantly!

He turned his head abruptly to look towards the direction of the city wall!

He saw a Golden Scale Guard wearing golden armor, with command flags inserted on his back, riding a flying mount, galloping towards General Qin Bei's location, roaring with all his might as he flew:

"Urgent military intelligence — —!"

"Demon! They are at the city gates! They are less than twenty miles from the city — —!"

Boom!

This sentence, like a Nine Heavens thunderbolt, exploded in everyone's minds!

They came!

They really came!

Su Bai's prophecy had been fulfilled!

The Yao Race had truly launched an all-out attack!

General Qin Bei's face turned deathly pale in an instant!

He could no longer care about what to say to Su Bai; the personal grievances and desire to win in his heart were instantly crushed in front of this terrifying meat grinder of war!

He now had only one thought!

Defend the city!

"Su Bai!"

General Qin Bei turned his head abruptly, saying solemnly: "Immediately! At once! Organize your Dawn Camp! Be ready to support the city wall at any time!"

"This is a military order!"

"This subordinate general, receives the order!"

Su Bai did not hesitate at all, immediately kneeling on one knee, responding in a deep voice!

With the country in danger, all personal grievances can be cast aside!

General Qin Bei looked at Su Bai with a complex expression.

Then, without saying another word, he mounted his horse and shouted sharply to the deputy generals behind him:

"Go! To the city wall!"

With that, the three of them and their three steeds, like a gale, kicked up dust and galloped towards the city wall!

Watching General Qin Bei's departing back, the entire Dawn Camp also fell into an atmosphere of solemnity.

...

Meanwhile, in a mansion in the west of the city.

Li Zhen, who had just received the news, also had a gloomy expression.

The Demon had actually pressed down on the border!

And it was a few days earlier than the half-month Su Bai had predicted!

This meant that the Yao Race was even more urgent than they had imagined!

This battle would likely be incredibly tragic!

A vicious thought suddenly rose in Li Zhen's heart.

War...

Although dangerous, it was also full of opportunities!

Especially, the opportunity to eliminate dissidents!

Thinking of this, Li Zhen immediately called for the most trusted confidant general under his command.

This person was named Lu Kai, holding the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, in charge of an elite cavalry of three thousand men. He was brave, but equally deep-thinking, and was Li Zhen's right-hand man.

"Lu Kai."

Li Zhen looked at his confidant and said sinisterly: "The Demon has arrived. The upcoming battle will be very cruel. The higher-ups will definitely reorganize all troops and assign them to various defense zones."

He paused, his voice dropping even lower.

"At that time, find a way to get Su Bai's Dawn Camp under your command."

"General, you mean..."

Lu Kai's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood Li Zhen's intention.

"That's right."

A cruel arc curled at the corner of Li Zhen's mouth.

"War always requires someone to carry out the most dangerous tasks, doesn't it?"

"For example, plugging gaps in the city wall, or going out of the city to harass the enemy's flanks, or perhaps, assassinating enemy generals..."

"These nine-deaths-and-one-life missions always need someone to do them."

"That Su Bai, doesn't he claim to be able to slay Foundation Establishment in battle? Then let him go and show us his skills."

"I want to see exactly how many lives he has to endure such tossing!"

Lu Kai heard this, and a knowing, sinister smile appeared on his face as well.

He nodded heavily and cupped his hands to accept the order.

"General, rest assured, This subordinate general understands what to do!"

"As long as that Su Bai is in This subordinate general's hands, I guarantee he won't return alive!"

...

Yunzhou City, on the south city wall.

This was the place with the greatest defensive pressure in the entire Yunzhou City.

At this moment, the city wall was already packed with dense crowds of soldiers, with swords and spears like a forest, and banners fluttering.

The heavy atmosphere of war made everyone unable to breathe.

General Qin Bei, in heavy armor, pressed his hand on the battlements of the city wall and looked into the distance.

He saw a dark cloud on the horizon, obscuring the sky and sun, sweeping towards Yunzhou City at a speed visible to the naked eye!

That was not a dark cloud!

That was an endless army composed of countless Yao Race!

Birds circled in the sky, and beasts galloped on the ground!

That soaring Demonic Qi and the earth-shaking roars could be clearly heard even from over ten miles away!

Even a battle-hardened general like General Qin Bei couldn't help but feel a palpitation when seeing such a terrifying formation!

Zhou Zheng also stood by his side, his expression equally grave to the extreme.

"Have the scouts identified which Demon King is leading the army this time?" Zhou Zheng asked in a deep voice.

General Qin Bei did not answer; his gaze was locked tightly on the most conspicuous golden canopy in the very center of the Demon army.

Under that canopy, one could vaguely see a huge bird with a body covered in golden feathers.

On the back of that giant bird, there seemed to be a figure standing.

When he saw the appearance of that giant bird clearly, General Qin Bei's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints!

"That is... the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird?!"

He exclaimed, his voice trembling with a hint of disbelief!

"It is... General E Liji?!"

General E Liji!

This name was like thunder to the ears of the higher-ups in Yunzhou City!

The third son of the Yao Race Emperor!

The Third Crown Prince with the most noble status in the entire Yao Race!
