"We should unite and protest to Silla City, demanding that Silla City stop accepting refugees from our city and expel all the refugees it has already taken in!" Li Honggang shouted.

The city lords below the stage immediately echoed this sentiment, nodding in agreement.

I agree!

"Me too! This has already shaken the foundations of our cities, and we cannot stand idly by!"

"Huasheng City has already fallen into the hands of that first King of Nanling. If we don't take action, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our positions either!"

Seeing that his words had an effect, Li Honggang's face showed a smug look.

Lin Feifei, sitting in the corner, watched all of this with a cold eye, secretly sneering to herself.

These city lords actually wanted to join forces to deal with the King of Nanling?

How ridiculous!

They had no idea how terrifying that Saint Realm expert from seven hundred years ago was!

Suddenly, Li Honggang looked at Lin Feifei.

"Lord Lin, what is your opinion?" Li Honggang asked.

Lin Feifei said without hesitation, "Lord Li, once you've made up your mind, I will assist you."

Hearing Lin Feifei say that, Li Honggang's smug expression grew even stronger.

But little did he know that Lin Feifei was already Ye Feng's woman!

Night fell.

On the walls of Winter Wolf Fortress, Geshu Feixue held a longsword, his expression very serious.

She could clearly see that crimson monsters surged out of the mountains and forests like a tide, attacking the fortress!

"attack!"

Geshu Feixue shouted, and the archers on the city wall immediately began to fire arrows.

Arrows rained down from mid-air, the dense barrage of arrows shooting towards the red-tailed beasts as if they were free.

However, the arrows were ultimately too weak; this volley of arrows only brought down a few dozen red-tailed beasts.

More Crimson-tailed Beasts have arrived at the walls of Winter Wolf Fortress and launched an attack on it.

"Draw your sword! Attack!"

At Geshu Feixue's command, he looked up and drew the long sword from his waist.

Just then, a red-tailed beast leaped onto the city wall, and Geshu Feixue slashed it with her sword, killing the beast instantly.

Bright red blood spurted from the corpse of the Crimson-Tailed Beast, splattering all over Geshu Feixue, staining her bright silver armor red.

Shouts of battle echoed from the city walls as one red-tailed beast after another was killed, but one city guard after another also fell.

This place has become a bloody and brutal battlefield.

Two full hours later, this sudden war finally came to an end.

All the Crimson-tailed Beasts were killed, and the corpses of more than 1,300 Crimson-tailed Beasts were scattered everywhere, with pools of blood covering the city walls.

"Check the battle damage!" Ge Shufeixue commanded, flicking the blood off his sword.

A moment later, a general knelt on one knee before Geshu Feixue and quickly reported, "Reporting to the general! Two hundred of our soldiers have been killed in battle, and more than three hundred have been wounded!"

"Immediately send a message to the military headquarters, reporting the situation here truthfully!" Ge Shufeixue ordered.

"yes!"

The general nodded emphatically.

Late at night, deep within the imperial palace of the Divine Sword Empire.

The aging Emperor Dongfang Su of the Divine Sword Empire looked at the secret letter in his hand, his face filled with worry.

"I didn't expect the Red-Tailed Beast attack to be real... It seems the situation is about to change."

Dongfang Su rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Standing respectfully before Dongfang Su was his eldest son, Dongfang Sheng.

Dongfang Sheng asked, "Father, was Winter Wolf Fortress really attacked by the Crimson-Tailed Beast? Was the damage severe?"

Dongfang Su did not answer, but instead handed the letter in his hand directly to Dongfang Sheng.

After looking at it, Dongfang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, only two hundred people died in battle."

"This loss is already quite significant, after all, those were all elites of the Dragon Legion!" Dongfang Su said heavily.

Dongfang Sheng quickly stood up straight, not daring to utter a sound.

Dongfang Su lowered his head and fell into deep thought, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

After an unknown amount of time, Dongfang Su finally raised his head and looked at Dongfang Sheng in front of him, saying, "Immediately issue an order to contact the royal family of the Hongtian Empire. It is time for us to put aside our conflicts with the Hongtian Empire and form an alliance to fight against the potential dangers."

Dongfang Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he tried to dissuade him, saying, "Father, although the attack by the Crimson-Tailed Beasts did happen, it was only a small group of them, not the one that swept across the entire continent seven hundred years ago..."

"If the Red-Tailed Beast War that swept across the entire continent seven hundred years ago really happens again, will it still be of any use for us to contact the Hongtian Empire's royal family? By then, it will be too late!" Dongfang Su said bluntly.

Dongfang Sheng trembled, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded: "Yes, Father, I understand what you mean. I will do as you say now."

"Go ahead," Dongfang Su said, waving his hand.

Dongfang Sheng immediately turned and left, while Dongfang Su sat on the dragon throne, his expression as still as water.

"It's like a storm is brewing. Is seven hundred years of peace about to end?" Dongfang Su muttered to himself, filled with emotion.

Just two days later, all of Zijing's men left Xinluo City and went to various cities throughout the Hongtian Empire to gather intelligence for Yefeng.

The intelligence network in Silla City has finally been established.

However, Zijing's subordinates were still too few in number, and the intelligence they had gathered was still insufficient.

Therefore, this intelligence network needs to be expanded and manpower needs to be increased!

"Have you encountered any trouble over there?" Ye Feng asked.

Zijing stood tall and said, "Everything went smoothly, without any trouble. Rowling also provided me with ample funds, so there were no problems with the budget!"

"Have you skimped on the budget?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

"Am I that kind of person?" Zijing asked, her eyes wide.

"Aren't you one?" Night Wind retorted.

Zijing jumped and pounded on the night wind, shouting, "I admit I'm very greedy, but I know very well what money I should and shouldn't take! I will never make a mistake in this kind of thing, so you can rest assured!"

"Don't be angry, I just wanted to remind you. We've known each other for so long, and to be honest, I still admire you. I'm just worried that if something happens to you, it will be difficult to deal with you in the future," Ye Feng said.

"You're worrying unnecessarily," Zijing said irritably.

Then Zijing ran outside without looking back, saying, "I'm going to find the gentian. I'm not going to talk to you, you old geezer."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Night Wind laughed.

However, Zijing ran away and then ran back.

"Is Longdan not at home?" Yefeng asked.

"Something terrible has happened!" Zijing exclaimed quickly.
