753: The deal is done, the empress knows

"General Mo, do you know why the Demon Domain insists on our Ziyun Country stubbornly resisting the Phoenix Feather Dynasty's Grand Army?"

"You, I, and everyone in the world knows perfectly well that in this war, our Ziyun Country simply cannot win!"

"The best outcome is merely a stalemate under the Phoenix Feather Dynasty's attack for a year or so; the situation of defeat and destruction will not change at all!"

"Despite a situation everyone understands, the Demon Sect of the Demon Domain still makes us do this. General Mo, don't you want to know the reason behind it?"

As General Feng Zitu spoke, his gaze was like a torch.

Meeting his gaze, Moyan Jun finally showed a hint of interest: "Tell me, what is the purpose of the Demon Domain acting like this?"

"The Demon Domain's goal is the Phoenix Feather Imperial City, Your Majesty the Empress!" General Feng Zitu's tone was serious.

After his words were spoken, Moyan Jun's eyes immediately narrowed slightly, falling into thought.

As a General of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty, he had been able to stay in this position for so many years, proving he was top-notch in both thinking and ability.

From the moment this war began, he also discovered that the Ziyun Country had no intention of confronting them head-on.

It was also from that time that a bad premonition secretly arose in his heart.

But he could never quite pinpoint it.

Could it be that the Demon Domain was taking this opportunity to deal with the Royal Family, to deal with the Empress?

Moyan Jun had also considered this idea, but quickly dismissed it.

Not to mention how powerful Your Majesty's own strength was, just the forbidden Array Formations in the Imperial Palace were enough to make those from the Demon Domain unable to advance even half a step!

But at this moment.

After General Feng Zitu's confident words were presented, this previously dismissed idea was picked up by Moyan Jun once again.

While slightly startled and suspicious in his heart, he turned to stare at the General of the Ziyun Country before him: "What does the Demon Domain rely on?"

"I don't know, but the Demon Domain seems to have already made up its mind and is preparing!"

"I also saw the Demon Domain provide many pills to other places on the Five Spirits Continent, which should be aiding the forces they have deployed!"

"Because of our Ziyun Country's matter, the Demon Domain has already taken full action in secret!"

General Feng Zitu spoke without reservation.

This was also his only hope for self-preservation.

Hearing this, Moyan Jun looked at the sand table map before him.

In this war, their Phoenix Feather Dynasty dispatched a Grand Army of five million!

Millions of soldiers were stationed on the borders of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty.

At this moment, looking at the Dynasty, they couldn't even muster an Army force of five hundred thousand.

Compared to normal times, it was already very weak.

If the Demon Domain truly wanted to act, now was indeed a very good opportunity!

Moreover, listening to the words of this General of the Ziyun Country, it was clear that the Demon Domain had other deployed forces in other places on the Five Spirits Continent!

Understanding this, the situation seemed to instantly fall into an emergency state.

"General Mo, my coming alone tonight to surrender is a secret surrender." General Feng Zitu recalled the Military Advisor's words and expanded Moyan Jun's thinking: "Presumably, General Mo also understands that it's impossible for you to directly withdraw troops and return to reinforce the Imperial City."

"That would certainly alert the Demon Sect and cause more variables!"

"Therefore, I believe the battle between General Mo and our Ziyun Country's two armies still needs to continue!"

"However, General Mo only needs to leave two to three hundred thousand soldiers, and I will order the troops below to continue fighting and acting with the Army you leave behind, in order to deceive and paralyze the Demon Sect."

"Afterward, General Mo can covertly withdraw all the remaining forces back to the Phoenix Feather Dynasty to hide in secret, and when the Demon Domain makes its move, they can all be dispatched together to surround and annihilate them!"

General Feng Zitu paused after speaking this far.

These ideas were given to him by the Military Advisor, and according to his thinking, cooperating with the Phoenix Feather Dynasty in battle to deceive the Demon Sect was the value and capital of his surrender!

Hearing this.

Moyan Jun looked at the fellow before him with a bit of surprise.

He truly came prepared.

For a moment, he couldn't find a reason to refuse.

While surprised by this person's courage and decisive actions, he was also astonished by the other party's thinking and strategy.

If it were a normal battle, this person might truly be a noteworthy opponent.

After a period of contemplation, Moyan Jun gave his reply in silence: "Go back and prepare, I will leave two hundred thousand soldiers."

"I hope everything you said is the truth, otherwise, the consequences will make you regret coming into this world!"

Moyan Jun never acted indecisively or procrastinated.

He wasn't afraid that General Feng Zitu would deceive him.

At most, he would only lose the two hundred thousand soldiers left here.

And if it really came to that point, proving that General Feng Zitu had lied to him, he had a thousand ways to make this guy pay the price!

Hearing Moyan Jun's words, General Feng Zitu lowered his head, a slight sense of relief in his heart.

From this moment on, their Ziyun Country was outwardly standing on the same front as the Demon Path, but in reality, they had already joined the Phoenix Feather Dynasty's camp!

This situation.

In fact, it was also the best choice for their Ziyun Country at present.

No matter which side won, they could pick a side at the last moment!

When the situation was not yet decided, they didn't need to exert any more effort, only needed to cooperate with the act!

...

That night.

Phoenix Feather Dynasty.

Compared to the smoke-filled Ziyun Country, the Phoenix Feather Imperial City here was quite peaceful.

Of course, beneath this peace, there were also many ill-intentioned people who had secretly infiltrated the Imperial City.

These people, more or less, had some contact with the Demon Domain.

Imperial Palace.

Kongtong Frost Snow was closing her eyes and recuperating in her bedchamber.

But hearing some movement, her phoenix eyes slowly opened.

"Come out."

The woman spoke softly towards the void in front.

In the next breath, amidst spatial fluctuations, a Phoenix Feather secret agent under Kongtong Frost Snow's control appeared at the doorway.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Asking Immortal Valley!"

"Asking Immortal Valley?" Seeing that it wasn't a message related to Lin Yun, Kongtong Frost Snow slightly furrowed her brow: "Speak."

"Asking Immortal Valley was jointly attacked by the Sword Sect and the Dao Body Sect today!" The secret agent lowered his head and clearly reported the message in full.

"The Sword Sect and the Dao Body Sect attacked Asking Immortal Valley?" Her slightly furrowed brows gradually tightened, and Kongtong Frost Snow had a guess: "Related to the Demon Path?"

"Yes, according to the Valley Lord of Asking Immortal Valley, the Sword Sect and the Dao Body Sect have completely defected to the Demon Sect!"

"When they attacked the mountain gate, they even directly used Demon Sect methods!"

"Tap tap tap ~" Her fingers lightly tapped the table beside her, and Kongtong Frost Snow murmured to herself with a slightly serious expression: "Compared to the previous life, the Demon Domain's actions are much faster."

Looking at the Phoenix Feather secret agent, Kongtong Frost Snow then asked: "Under the siege of the two great Sects, how many people from Asking Immortal Valley are still alive?"

"Asking Immortal Valley... more than half survived, while the Dao Body Sect and the Sword Sect suffered considerable losses."

"Even the Sect Leaders of the two Sects fled in disarray."

"Oh? Asking Immortal Valley already has such strength?" Kongtong Frost Snow was quite surprised.
