The Alchemist God

It was almost noon when Lin Muyu returned to Zhongnan City with the remnants of the demon clan, and it was snowing heavily. Tang Xiaoxi led the elite cavalry from the Gendan Battalion in Zhongnan City to welcome them twenty miles outside the city. The two sides met on the snow field.

Seeing Lin Muyu's safe return, Tang Xiaoxi was overjoyed.

However, when Tang Xiaoxi's eyes fell on Qianfeng, Qianfeng was somewhat cramped and embarrassed.

Qianfeng, the general of the defeated army, sees Your Highness Xi. He saluted respectfully, following the etiquette of the demons to the princess.

There's no need to be too polite, I'm not Feng Yuan's daughter.

Tang Xiaoxi smiled faintly, and said: Feng Yuan has always treated me like a daughter, what you all want is the demon power in my body.

Qianfeng was a little stunned: Master Xi still remembers what the Protoss did to you back then?

I will never forget.

Tang Xiaoxi got on the horse, the red cloak was spinning in the snow, turned around and took a deep look at Qianfeng, and said: If it weren't for your holy master and Yao Ji, I wouldn't have killed Xiao Yin. I hate this all my life. I will never forget, Qianfeng, the alliance between humans and demons is just Mu Mu's idea, and I respect King Qin's wishes, but it doesn't mean I don't hate demons.

Qianfeng laughed at himself: It's okay, I am the Marshal of the Protoss, and now Your Majesty and the two princesses are dead, their bodies are in different places, and their heads are missing. All the hatred will be vented on me, Qianfeng. That's too much.

Lin Muyu walked over holding the reins of the horse, put his hand on Tang Xiaoxi's leg on the horse's back, and said, Xiaoxi, don't talk about it, now and then, some accounts are settled on Qianfeng's head. It's not fair.

Tang Xiaoxi nodded, and said softly, Well, I see.

Lin Muyu looked at Qianfeng again, and said: The heads of Feng Yuan, Feng Jing'er, and Feng Ning'er were sent to Dongshuang City by Tianji Empire as a gift, and I have ordered them to be buried respectfully, with the etiquette of the king of the Great Qin Empire.

real.

Qianfeng's body trembled subconsciously, and said: Thank you, Your Highness King Qin... After I settle down, can I pay homage to Your Majesty and the two princesses?

that is your freedom.

Lin Muyu exhaled, and said, Everyone has walked all night, hurry up and eat something hot in Zhongnan City, otherwise many people will get sick.

good.

Tang Xiaoxi said, Mumu, you really want to allow these demons to enter Zhongnan City.

What she meant was self-evident. Three months ago, the Demon Race was still fighting the Empire in the Eight Wastelands. They were mortal enemies, but now they want the two armies to coexist peacefully. I am afraid that many people will not accept this fact.

Xiao Xi, what do you think? Lin Muyu asked.

Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips: Longdanying and the Zhongnan family's army have fought repeatedly, and there has been a deep grudge for a long time. If they are allowed to enter Zhongnan City, friction will inevitably occur. I think it is better to let Qianfeng lead the demon army to station in the city. In a small town outside the city, there are enough houses, and food can be transported from Zhongnan City.

What does Marshal Qianfeng mean? Lin Muyu asked.

Qianfeng looked calm: Your Highness can just call me Qianfeng. The Protoss suffered a disastrous defeat. I am no longer the marshal. As for the station, it all depends on His Highness's arrangement.

Do not worry.

Lin Muyu patted him on the shoulder, and said: You protoss will rise again, let's go through this period first, and besides... I'm afraid we won't be able to live in Zhongnan City for long.

Why? Tang Xiaoxi asked in amazement.

Lin Muyu cast his eyes on the snowy area in the north, showing a trace of helplessness and sadness, and said: Zhongnan City is located on the Bahuangyuan, and the north of the Bahuangyuan is the snowy area, but there is no danger to defend between them, just a few passes. They are only a few meters high, if we stick to the Eight Wastelands, the loss will be very heavy.

Then Mumu, what do you mean?

Get ready to retreat to Tongtian Gorge.

Qianfeng was shocked: His Royal Highness Yu is going to give up the huge Eight Wastelands to the Tianji Empire?

We have no choice. Lin Muyu brushed off the snow on his shoulders, took the reins of Treading Snow, and said, The Long Dan Battalion can't be wasted meaninglessly. In the battle last night, Wei Qiu's side must have lost a lot of money. Less people.

Tang Xiaoxi was a little sad, and said: In order to save these people from the Demon Race, more than 13,000 people have died in the Longdan Camp in the snowy area from last night to now, and more than half of the more than 6,000 people who came back were wounded. , Even Wei Chou himself was seriously injured, and is now resting in Zhongnan City, just one night, our wounded barracks and medicines are no longer enough.

ah……

Lin Muyu's heart ached and she clenched her fists tightly.

Qianfeng frowned, and said: It is my fault that the Longdan camp suffered such a loss. Please rest assured, Your Highness Yu, the Tianji Empire will destroy my entire family, but I, Qianfeng, have a sigh of relief, and I will definitely be with Tianji. The Empire is at it's end.

Well, keep your strength first, let's go.

Lin Muyu got on his horse and said: Come here, send more scouts to investigate the situation of the Long Ji Corps. In addition, send scouts Zhanying to investigate along the coast.

yes.

The wind and snow were swaying, and the team meandered towards Zhongnan City.

Zhongnan City, this thousands of years old city wall is extremely mottled, it looks like an old man standing on the northern border of the mainland, when the strong enemy comes, this old man looks so vulnerable, there is no way to stop it Zhongnan City's iron hoof attack.

Asahi's department arranged to enter the small town to rest. Although it was just a ruined small town, it was like a paradise for the demons who had been lingering in the frozen polar region for several months. They could drink a sip of hot water. , Eating a delicious steamed bun is such a luxury for them, even Marshal Qianfeng's complexion is very ugly, obviously due to lack of nutrition.

Walking on the main street of Zhongnan City, the horseshoes stepped on the thick snow, making a constant rustling sound.

Is Long Yudouxuan really not afraid of the magic crystal cannon? Tang Xiaoxi thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.

Lin Muyu nodded: Yes, Marshal Qianfeng can prove this.

Qianfeng's face was miserable, and he said: Long Yudouxuan seems to be the natural nemesis of the magic crystal. We dispatched 500 winged brothers to launch a suicide attack, but they didn't receive even the slightest effect. They used their lives to prove that This explains the reason why Long Yudouxuan restrains the magic crystal.

It's not just them.

Tang Xiaoxi said in a calm voice: There are also more than 10,000 martyred fighters from the Long Dan Battalion. They also blood-stained the battlefield because of Long Yu's fierce fighting.

Qianfeng was a little silent, and after a few seconds, he said lightly, I'm sorry.

Lin Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable. Tang Xiaoxi's hatred for the demons was far deeper than he imagined. In this battle, it was indeed because of the relationship between the demons that the Longdan Battalion lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers. It was a heavy blow, but Lin Muyu knew very well that he had to reconcile this contradiction, otherwise it would lead to catastrophe in the future.

Xiao Xi, the demon race is also the victim. He looked at Tang Xiaoxi beside him with soft eyes, and said, Just imagine, the tens of thousands of troops of the Long Ji Corps cooperated with the Tian Ji Dragon Cavalry Corps to cross the Northern Glacier Continental Bridge. It was a surprise attack, and it happened that the army of the Demon Race encountered them in the north. In fact, the Demon Race blocked the knife for our Great Qin Empire. In a sense, we should also be grateful for the sacrifice made by the Demon Race.

Tang Xiaoxi opened her small mouth in astonishment, and murmured her head. Lin Muyu's words awakened the dreamer, making her change instantly.

Qianfeng's voice was very bitter: It's a pity that the price of this sacrifice is the lives of our majesty and two highnesses.

Ning'er is my friend, I will not let her die in vain.

Tang Xiaoxi looked at the distant sky with her beautiful eyes, clenched her pink fists tightly, and faint flames lingered around her body, and said: The Long Ji Corps killed Ning'er, I will definitely settle the debt with them, and pay back the debt with blood.

Yes, blood debt is paid in blood. Qianfeng gritted his teeth.

Lin Muyu remained silent. What he was thinking about was when to retreat. Zhongnan City would definitely not be able to stay there anymore. Once the main force of the Tianji Empire crossed the sea, they would be able to encircle Zhongnan City in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave.

At this time, he had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Zhongnan City. Wei Chou walked out with gauze wrapped around his shoulders, supported by several guards.

Wei Qiu.

Lin Muyu stepped forward.

However, Wei Chou's legs softened and he knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face: Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent, causing more than 10,000 brothers to die in the Longdan Camp, and even being unable to return their bodies. pass.

Behind them, a group of senior generals of the Gendan Battalion knelt down together. Basically, each of them had injuries and was in a panic.

Lin Muyu can't remember how long the Gendan Battalion hadn't suffered such a defeat. Since the empire developed the magic crystal cannon, the Gendan Battalion has been victorious in every battle, but the battle last night broke everyone's hearts. The gap almost completely crushed their self-confidence and morale, and the next priority seems to be not how to evacuate, but how to restore morale.

Wei Qiu, get up.

Lin Muyu got off his horse, helped Wei Chou up, and said: The soldiers who died in battle are all warriors of the empire. They died for the country, and their names will be recorded in the forest of steles forever. Get up quickly, the ground is cold.

Thank you Your Highness.

Wei Chou wiped away his tears and said, Your Highness, they are too strong...

I know, go in and eat something first.

yes.

Come here, write the feather book and send it back to the Eastern Capital, and tell King Xin and King Zhong that Dare Dragon Yudouxuan can completely defend against the magic crystal cannon, so that they can prepare early.

yes.

After entering the hall, several tables of food have been set down, but there are only dishes and no wine. The gentian camp failed miserably.

Qianfeng was sitting next to Lin Muyu, looking at the delicious food on the table, feeling bitter in his heart.

eat……

I don't know the taste of food.

But his body needs to supplement nutrition, so Qianfeng ate a lot, so that many captains of the Gendan camp cast contemptuous glances.

Qianfeng just lowered his head and ate the food, gulping it down, as if swallowing hatred and shame together.
