The Armored Python was soon blasted into pieces.
The soldiers in the Imperial Capital were dumbfounded.
Previously, there were only nearly a hundred Frost Giants, and they had almost broken through the western city gate. Now, there were so many giants in front of him…
They began to tremble.
They could only draw their bows and arrows, but no one dared to attack.
At this moment, they remembered the prince.
At this moment, the mobs who were preparing to attack the city gate finally regained their memories. They finally remembered who had repelled these giants.
If not for the Seventh Prince, would the Imperial City have been able to hold
Could they survive?
How could they shout, ” The Seventh Prince is cruel and heartless, disobeying the imperial edict ” and ” So what if the Ninth Princess is kind? ”
Xia Ji walked to the corpse of the man in black and pulled out his halberd.
Huang Jing’s body instantly shriveled up a little because his blood essence had been completely absorbed by the demonic halberd.
Thump …
Thump thump…
Xia Ji held the black halberd in his hand and felt the strange ” fetal movement. ”
It was as if there was a heartbeat hidden in the metal body of the demon halberd. The heartbeat was curiously imitating his heartbeat. This made him feel a wonderful sense of unity. It also made him feel the impulse of the demon halberd. It was the impulse to crawl out of the darkness and try its best to open its eyes and see the world.
When Xia Xiaosu heard about the battle outside the city, she led the three uninjured fox palace maids up to the city wall. The moment she saw the city guard, she did not say anything and one of the palace maids directly cut off the traitor’s head.
The princess walked to the edge of the battlement and watched the battle in the distance.
It was the battle between King Kong and the giant python.
However, the giant python was constantly being consumed, but it could not even break through King Kong’s armor.
Although it seemed like they were evenly matched, the higher they stood, the clearer they could see.
It was only a matter of time before the 50 ,ooo Great Shang soldiers were defeated by the 3,000 Frost Giants. No matter how hard Nangong He and Deng Gongjiu tried, it was useless.
Suddenly…
One after another, huge footprints suddenly appeared on the snow-covered ground below the Imperial City.
The city guards looked at the strange footprints and before they could react, they felt the city wall shake. The few soldiers standing in front lost their balance and fell off the city wall due to the huge shock.
The brazier also fell down.
Liu Huo was blown into the sky by the strong wind.
In the fire, the appearance of a few Frost Giants was immediately revealed.
In the snowstorm, their ability to hide their tracks was extremely strong…
Unknowingly, they had already reached the city gate!
The soldiers guarding the city shouted in horror,” Giant attack! Defend the city!
This shout stunned all the soldiers and the rioters below the city. They felt their blood freeze as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
These soldiers had been discussing earlier that the defense of the Imperial City was mostly due to the contributions of the soldiers who had died, and the Seventh Prince was just a lead. It was really laughable for him to be so arrogant.
These soldiers had been thinking of doing their jobs. As long as someone came to charge through the city gates, they would not stop them too much.
But now, they were all panicking.
The east and south gates were attacked by the giants at the same time. In the city, on the city walls, all kinds of panicked voices sounded.
“The giants are here! Defend!”
“Quick, quick, quick! What about large-scale siege weapons? Why didn’t you move it up the city wall?”
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to open the city gates…”
“Why don’t we open the city gates and welcome General Deng and General
Nangong into the city to defend the city together?”
‘ Where’s the Seventh Prince? Quickly invite the Seventh Prince to battle! ”
At this moment, in a large residence in the Imperial Capital, the nobles were panicking.
” The city gate hasn’t opened yet?! ” “Huang Jing has failed. He is dead…’
” What?! ”
“The Frost Giants are attacking…”
“Why are these damned alien races attacking again? Didn’t they get beaten back once? Damn it! Damn it!”
“Lord Wang, this is all your fault. If not for you…”
“Enough! How can you blame me? If you had…”
“Gentlemen, what should we do? This time, there is no retreat route that the emperor has arranged for us…”
Escape from the west gate. After you escape, go south. I’m very familiar with that area. ‘
Feeling the earth shaking and the flames of war flying, as if the city was about to fall, this group of hidden nobles finally felt true fear. Last time, it was within their expectations, but this time, it was unexpected. In other words, this time…He would really die.
“Grand Scholar, make a decision!
He Wenfeng was still calm. He tapped his fingers on the table and glanced at the group of dignitaries in front of him. He suddenly clapped his hands, and two hundred axemen rushed in from outside the door. Dozens of axemen guarded the door and windows, and the rest rushed directly to the dignitaries. Then, without wasting any time, they raised their hands and slashed down. In the midst of confusion and cursing, the room was filled with blood.
Not long after, those nobles fell into a pool of blood, leaving only one person with a calm expression standing. The axemen walked past him but did not attack him.
He Wenfeng looked at the man and smiled. ” Lord Wen, a mob can conspire with you, but not with you. They can share happiness, but they can’t share hardship. You should understand, right? ”
“The secret passage leads to the east gate. The east gate is already sealed.”
‘ I lied to them about the secret passage, ” the Grand Scholar said with a smile.
” The real secret passage leads to the west. ”
The man had a complicated expression and sighed heavily.
The Grand Scholar said loudly, ” Lord Wen, there is no right or wrong in this world. There is no good or evil. Do you think I don’t understand those principles? ”
What was the point of saying human words to people, talking nonsense to ghosts, and lying through one’s teeth?
Wouldn’t the winner be king and the loser be bandits?
How many fools in this world would not use their cleverness and remain untainted?
Since you’re standing here, you must have the responsibility to continue walking. You’re still young, and this old master was like you when I was young. Let’s go, we don’t have much time left, don’t let this old master look down on you.”
After saying this, he clapped his hands again. Then, more than a dozen people walked out from the darkness. These people were all dressed in noble clothes. Their bodies were not much different from the dead nobles. Some of them even looked similar to him and Lord Wen.
The Grand Scholar carefully looked at his colleagues lying on the ground and seriously carried out the last stab. After making sure that everyone was dead, he looked at the two hundred axemen and said indifferently, “”Follow the plan.”
“I’m willing to die for you!”
The two hundred axemen each rushed into a small room at the side, each taking kerosene, and then quietly sneaked out of the Grand Secretary’s
Mansion. They walked towards the chaotic Imperial City and began to set fire!
Flames lit up.
More chaos.
Then, the dozen or so men of sacrifice dressed in noble clothes quietly walked out, pretending to escape, heading towards the north gate.
After doing all this, the mansion was dead silent.
The Grand Scholar brought Lord Wen to the study room behind the screen. He pushed open the mechanism, and the bookshelves shifted, revealing a dark secret passage that led downwards.
Just as the two of them were about to enter, the door of the study room suddenly opened, and giggles came from outside.
“Daren is really ruthless in doing things. He doesn’t reveal a single drop of water.”
The Grand Scholar narrowed his eyes and turned his head. What entered his sight was a young girl with bare feet stepping on the threshold. The young girl was wrapped in a red silk dress and was 1.1 meters tall. She was looking at him charmingly.
“I have been looking for you for a long time, hehehe..”
