The situation is growing more turbulent. I must be even more cautious.
The Great Flame Dynasty was declining by the day, plagued by troubles within and enemies without. Li Xuancang had to act with greater caution from now on.
On the battlefield of Spirit Yang Prefecture, the war raged in full swing.
The Cloud Prefecture Army attacked without respite, driving the Imperial Court's forces into retreat after retreat.
"Boom, boom-boom-boom..."
A scalp-numbing drumbeat rang out across the battlefield.
The next moment, the soldiers who had died upon the battlefield began climbing to their feet one after another.
Some soldiers' bodies were already mangled and incomplete, yet controlled by the drumbeats, they charged at the Imperial Court's army like walking corpses.
"We can't hold them back! Think of something!"
The Evil Cultivators had one trick after another, and the scene before them was difficult for the Imperial Court's army to handle.
Zhu Xuanye, commander-in-chief of the army, furrowed his brows so tightly that his body trembled with rage.
"Desecrating the corpses of fallen soldiers—utterly vile!"
The Human Race believed that the dead deserved the utmost respect. These soldiers had died in battle, yet their corpses were still being controlled by Evil Cultivators. Everyone was thunderously enraged.
"Shen Chongyuan!"
Zhu Xuanye shouted in a deep voice.
"This subordinate is here."
Shen Chongyuan immediately stepped forward and cupped his fists toward Zhu Xuanye.
"Lead the Cool Prefecture Army into the enemy's left flank at once."
"This subordinate accepts the order."
Shen Chongyuan was burning with fury, yet his expression remained impassive.
"Follow me! Kill!"
Shen Chongyuan knew that Zhu Xuanye was trying to wear down the Cool Prefecture Army's strength, yet he could not resist.
Military orders were as immovable as mountains. If he refused to obey, Zhu Xuanye would deal with him
