I counted the time carefully, and when the morning sun rose from the east on the fifth day of this month, I knew that my death had come.
I ate breakfast slowly and sat in Command Center reviewing military documents. There were shouts of killing from Competition Ground in the city. It was Mo Wang who was training soldiers.
The day of death is getting closer and closer, but I don't feel any fear, I just wait calmly.
"Ugh..."
"Ugh..."
The low Horns came from the north wall of the city, and the shouts of death in the city were stagnant, and then became a little chaotic.
Xiao Ding and Nalan Fugui rushed in. Nalan Fugui listened attentively to Horns's voice and said in a deep voice, "Heir Apparent, Snake-People is coming!"
"Don't panic."
I put down the military document in my hand, stood up and said, "Let Mo Wang stop training and stay put. Follow me to the top of the city to have a look."
After saying that, I stood up and left the hall, and the two of them followed me. The hundred Nalan private troops who were on duty today followed me and escorted me to the outside of the Duwei Mansion.
Halfway through, I met Fox Pass Commandant and other generals. Fox Pass Commandant looked at me and asked doubtfully, "Commandant, Snake-People is attacking. If you don't summon the generals to discuss, where are you going?"
I glanced at him, without stopping, and said as I walked, "If there is an enemy attack, I will naturally go to the top of the city and see with my own eyes, so that I will know how to deal with it."
Fox Pass Commandant was startled, looking at me like an idiot, hesitated for a moment, then stood in front of me, raised his hands and said:
"Commandant, the top of the city is dangerous, don't go up there easily! You just need to stay in Commandant's mansion, listen to Scouts and Rishi's reports on the enemy's situation, and then make a decision."
"Duwei Lin are you scared?"
I stopped and looked sarcastically at the Fox Pass Commandant in front of me. This was a middle-aged man, wearing a black Fish-Scale Armor, with a bitter cold and wind-stained look on his face. I think that in this borderland, even for Commandant, the living conditions are not very good.
Lin Yi frowned slightly. Naturally, he was not afraid, nor was he angry because of this little ridicule. He was just embarrassed.
Because my status is very noble, even if something happens to me, it is not something he can bear.
"Report!"
At this time, a soldier ran over, looked at me and Lin Yi, and finally knelt on one knee beside Lin Yi and said:
"Commandant, there are only a thousand Snake-People outside the city, and Snake-People's follow-up army has not yet been found."
Lin Yi nodded, thinking to himself that more than a thousand Snake-People were not dangerous, so he turned around and got out of the way.
I snorted coldly and continued moving forward, finally boarding the Fox Pass North City Wall head.
It was very windy at the top of the city, and even though there were soldiers cleaning it every day, there was still a lot of Yellow Sand accumulated.
In the sand sea opposite, about five miles away from the city wall, there was a dark shadow. If you look closely, you can see that there are more than a thousand Snake-People, shouting and provoking Fox Pass.
"How dare you come to provoke me, Fox Pass, if there are only a thousand Snake-People?"
I stood on the top of the city, looked at those Snake-People with disdain, and said loudly, "Order Mo Wang to form an army of two thousand, go out of the city and annihilate that Snake-People army!"
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said quickly, "Commandant, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Even if Commandant does not lead troops to come to the rescue, Fox Pass usually has six thousand soldiers stationed. How can Snake-People only send a thousand people to attack?"
"I think this Snake-People must be a bait. There must be an army of Snake-People ambushing us behind. Don't leave the border!"
I turned my head to look at Lin Yi and asked again, "Duwei Lin, are you scared?"
After being provoked by me twice, Lin Yi was really a little angry, but the state of mind tempered by years of war made him suppress his anger, looked at me and said seriously:
"Commandant, this is not a question of whether you are afraid or not."
"The military is the most important thing for the country!"
He pointed at Southern Region, which was the hinterland of the Gamma Empire, and said loudly, "Behind us are countless people of the empire. If we leave the city rashly, if we are defeated, if Fox Pass falls, then Snake-People will go south and wreak havoc, who will protect those people?!"
My face turned cold, and I walked up to Lin Yi. The childish face and his bitter face were only three feet apart. We looked at each other and our voices were equally firm.
"Do you think I will be defeated? I once killed Medusa Queen in the suburbs of Stone Desert City, and Medusa Queen who wreaked havoc on the Gamma Empire for hundreds of years!"
I suddenly looked back, pointed at the thousands of Snake-People outside the city, and shouted, "I've killed all Medusa Queen, but there are only a thousand Snake-People, do you think this battle will be lost?"
"Oh, since Duwei Lin is worried, I will personally go out to command this battle. I guess Duwei Lin won't worry anymore, right?"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi, the experienced Commandant, finally changed his expression. He raised his hand and pressed it on my shoulder, his eyes became cold, and he shouted:
"Child, as Commandant, how can you leave the city at will?"
There are 16,000 troops in the city, but in order to deal with more than a thousand Snake-People, the general has to go into battle? He has fought in battles all his life, and he has never met a general who does not know the military skills to this extent!
Lin Yi's cultivation level is Da Dou Shi. He pressed it down, and I staggered and almost fell. I hurriedly regained my balance.
Nalan Fugui and Xiao Ding also rushed over, and Lin Yi let go. I rubbed my shoulders, looked at him coldly, and shouted:
"Lin Yi, this is Military Order. If you dare to say more, I will kill you!"
After that, I stopped looking at him and walked straight towards the city. Behind the city wall, more than 2,700 troops had gathered, including two thousand Local Army, five hundred Nalan Private Army, and more than two hundred Mercenaries brought by Xiao Ding.
Lin Yi's complexion changed, he sighed, and quickly chased after him. He said softly, "Commandant If we really want to fight, we will ask for a fight."
"The general has stayed at Fox Pass for more than ten years, and he will definitely not be defeated!"
"No need, this battle will be directed by me personally!"
As I walked, I ordered, "Nalan Fugui, you stay in the city, so that I won't win. Some people say that I relied on the strength of my family."
"First Brother, you come with me out of the city for this battle."
When they arrived at the city, before Mo Wang could speak, Nalan Xu rushed over first, dressed in Scarlet Armor, and said with a somewhat excited expression:
"Commandant, I invite you to fight! Commandant, take me to fight!"
"Nonsense, obey orders!"
How could I bring Nalan Xu with me in this battle? I glared at him angrily, and I looked at Mo Wang. There were two Captain standing behind him.
"Mo Wang, you will stay in the city for this battle."
Mo Wang didn't say much, but just asked, "Commandant, is this battle... safe?"
I laughed, nodded, looked at the two Captain, looked serious, and shouted, "Leave the city, form an array!"
Lin Yi sighed and made a gesture. Fox Pass's North City Gate suddenly opened slowly, and two thousand Local Army left the city one after another and formed an array outside the city.
The military formation is divided into two formations, the left and right, each with a thousand men. I stand on top of War Chariot, surrounded by more than two hundred Mercenaries guards.
Looking at Snake-People five miles away, I slowly pulled out Long Sword, slashed it forward, and shouted:
"Forward!"
Fox Pass War drums sounded from the top of the city. Along with the drumbeats, more than two thousand Human Race troops slowly advanced forward. More than a thousand Snake-People troops in the distance also made a commotion, arranging their troops to prepare for war.
A war that was destined to fail as early as Gama City began.
