In front of the Cangfeng Imperial City, yellow sand filled the sky, the earth trembled, blood flowed like a river, and corpses were everywhere.
After a day and night of fierce fighting, the four defense lines of Blue Wind Imperial City were breached one after another, and the last line of defense had been suppressed by the Divine Phoenix Army in front of the city gate.
The Shenhuang Army was all in red armor. Their scarlet armor and their weapons with scorching aura were tempered by the Phoenix Flame of the Divine Phoenix Sect. They were not only light, but also had extremely strong defense and attack capabilities, which were definitely not comparable to the heavy silver armor and weapons of the Blue Wind Army. The average combat power of the Shenhuang soldiers was far superior to that of the Blue Wind Army. In summary, one Shenhuang soldier was enough to fight against ten Blue Wind soldiers... It was no exaggeration!
The ground had long been stained red with blood, deeper than the crimson armor of the Divine Phoenix Army. Countless corpses were scattered all over the land and every corner in front of the Imperial City, and the killing had not stopped. The 700,000-strong Divine Phoenix Army marched in a mighty force, with no end in sight, like a bloody wave from hell, about to engulf the Blue Wind Nation forever.
The Blue Wind Imperial City had put all its efforts into building a million-man army defense line, but at this moment, there were less than a hundred thousand soldiers left. They were still fighting to the death, their roars were deafening and hoarse, and they were carrying more and more sorrow and despair.
Countless arrows were shot down from the city wall, forming a long-lasting storm, which barely suppressed the Shenhuang Army that was approaching the city gate. In the center of the city wall, the commander of the Blue Wind Army, Feng Yunlie, roared again and again. He had long since lost his voice, but every roar still moved the mountains and rivers.
Not far to his left, Cang Yue stood there quietly. She did not wear the phoenix crown today. Her long black hair fluttered with the wind and waves on the battlefield. She silently looked at the tragic battlefield. There was no sadness or sorrow on her face, only a calmness like stagnant water... Because this day will eventually come and can never be avoided.
Standing beside her were Dongfang Xiu and Qin Wushang. Looking at the blood of the martyrs that had spread to the city gate and the dwindling number of Cangfeng soldiers, they could no longer remain calm. They kept looking at Cangyue, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves from speaking.
The storm of arrows shot from the city wall suddenly began to ease significantly, and soon became sparse. The biggest threat began to be lifted, and the Shenhuang Army, which already had an absolute advantage, suddenly pressed forward, and in the blink of an eye, the last line of defense of the Blue Wind Army was shaken.
"General Feng, we have used up all our arrows!!"
This desperate news did not move Feng Yunlie. With bloodshot eyes, he shouted hoarsely: "Open the city gate!!"
As Feng Yunlie roared, the gate of Blue Wind Imperial City slowly opened with a rumbling sound. Feng Yunlie turned around and faced Queen Cang Yue: "Your Majesty, let Lord Dongfang escort..."
“No need to say more.” Cang Yue’s voice was extremely calm and resolute: “I swear to live and die with Cang Feng Imperial City!”
With a loud bang, Feng Yunlie knelt down fiercely and kowtowed to Cangyue: "It is my lifelong honor to be your Majesty's subject! In the next life, I will serve your Majesty again!"
“clang!”
With his long sword drawn, Feng Yunlie leaped down from the city wall, roaring to the sky: "Men of Cangfeng, follow me... and kill all these wild Shenhuang dogs!!"
The city gates were wide open, and all the archers dropped their iron bows, drew their swords, grabbed their spears, roared and rushed out of the city gates to meet the Divine Phoenix Army that was already within reach.
At this moment, almost everyone had seen the moment when Cangfeng Imperial City was completely destroyed. Dongfang Xiu and Qin Wushang looked at each other, and then nodded bitterly at the same time. Dongfang Xiu took a step forward silently, but before he raised his hand, he heard Cangyue coldly say: "Master Dongfang, if you dare to knock me out and take me away, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide as soon as I wake up!"
Dongfang Xiu froze there, his hands dropped weakly, and he let out a long sigh.
The Divine Phoenix Army continued to pour in, seemingly endlessly. And the Blue Wind Imperial City had already entered its final struggle. The archers who rushed out of the city amidst the roars were the last of the Blue Wind Army's strength.
"Close the city gates... and let me kill you!!!"
Feng Yunlie's roar resounded over the battlefield, and the city gate behind them slowly closed with a dull roar. They closed the last line of defense of the Blue Wind Imperial City, and also closed the only way out.
Cang Yue stood on the city wall, listening to the roars of the soldiers and looking at the battlefield where blood flowed like a river. Her eyes were no longer calm, but were covered with thick mist. She raised her hands and shouted with all her profound strength: "Warriors of Cang Feng Nation, you have fought to this moment and are already the most outstanding heroes of Cang Feng Nation! Even if our homeland has been looted by thieves, this land will always remember your blood and heroic spirits! I, and all the children of Cang Feng, will always remember your unyielding heroic spirit!"
"I am right behind you! I will be with you, and share the final glory of our Blue Wind Nation... live and die together!!"
Cang Yue's voice echoed in the ears of every Cang Feng warrior. Their blood was burning, their faces became as hideous as evil spirits, their eyes were as red as a lone wolf dripping with blood, and the aura on their bodies became incomparably crazy...
“Ah!!”
A deafening roar rang out in the blood-red sky. With no way out and death before their eyes, they lost all fear and rushed towards the Shenhuang army, which originally symbolized "fear" in their eyes, with all their strength, fighting spirit, anger, and resentment.
The wind with a strong smell of blood suddenly became impatient, and the roars on the battlefield suddenly amplified several times. The Blue Wind warriors, who were on the brink of death, no longer knew what pain, fear, and death were. Facing the attack of the Divine Phoenix Army, all of them completely gave up defense and avoidance, allowing their weapons to pierce their bodies, and then stabbed their swords and guns fiercely into the enemy's vital points while roaring.
Some of them had their bones broken by the armor of the Divine Phoenix Army, but they used their broken arm bones to tightly lock the enemy's throat. Some of them had their weapons broken by the enemy, but they risked having their chests pierced and their knuckles cracked, and inserted the broken blades into the gaps in the enemy's armor. Some of them were knocked away by the heavy cavalry, but they roared to prevent themselves from fainting, and pounced on the enemy like hungry tigers, dragging the enemy off the warhorse, allowing their companions to stab their weapons into the enemy's throat...
The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger. The battle, which was originally one-sided and nearing its end, suddenly underwent a tragic change. The strength and equipment of each Shenhuang Army was basically ten times that of a Cangfeng Army. However, in the final resistance of the Cangfeng Army, each Cangfeng Army could kill at least one Shenhuang Army soldier before dying!
In the whistling bloody wind, the last Blue Wind Army lost another 50,000 people, and the Divine Phoenix Army... also lost nearly 50,000 people! ! The remaining 50,000 Blue Wind Army did not show deeper despair on their faces, but instead had demonic hideous looks... Their eyes, roars, and even their auras were like vengeful evil spirits from the abyss.
They don't fight for victory, they just fight for their lives!
The Shenhuang Army, which clearly had an absolute advantage, began to tremble to varying degrees. Because, on the brink of final victory, they were not facing an enemy that had collapsed and was in despair... but a fighting spirit that was not afraid of life and death!
“Hiss…” Above the Divine Phoenix Central Army, the deputy commander of the Divine Phoenix Army, Duan Qinghang, had a livid face and couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air. From these Blue Wind soldiers, he not only saw their fighting spirits burning to the limit, but even their life flames were burning… The power of each of them was obviously insignificant, but at this moment, even he, a Level 6 throne, felt a piercing chill: “That Blue Moon Queen… She only said a few short words, and actually made these Blue Wind soldiers go crazy!”
“Huh!” Qi Zhencang, the leader of the Divine Phoenix Army, also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Although she has been on the throne for less than three years, and is only a girl in her twenties, she has now become the spiritual pillar of the Divine Phoenix Nation! If it weren’t for her, how could we not have completely conquered the Blue Wind Nation until today.”
"Over the years, she has used the weak military forces of Blue Wind Nation, and utilized various geographical advantages and strange formations to tie down our army several times, and we have promised her dozens of times that if she surrendered, not only would her life be safe, but she would also be the lord of Blue Wind Territory in the future, but she refused all of them! Now that the enemy is at the gates of the city, she has countless opportunities to escape safely, but she personally stood behind the soldiers to supervise the battle, vowing to live and die with the soldiers and the country... With such a monarch, and a woman in her twenties, as men, what reason do they have not to fight to the death!"
"To be honest, I, Qi Zhencang, have never truly been convinced by a woman in my life... She is the first one!"
Duan Qinghang frowned and said, "The morale of our army is weakening, and some of them are clearly afraid of fighting...hiss!"
"Why don't you take any action? Are you just going to watch and do nothing?!"
A deep voice sounded behind them. The two turned around quickly and bowed their heads respectfully at the same time: "Nineteenth Elder, Forty-third Elder."
Two middle-aged men with flaming eyes and beards like flames, wearing red robes, appeared behind them at some point. The pale golden phoenix embroidered on their red robes showed their extremely noble status as elders of the Phoenix Sect!
Among the three generals of the Divine Phoenix Army this time, only Feng Huwei came from the Phoenix Divine Sect. However, in every army, there will be at least one "commander-in-chief" from the Phoenix Divine Sect. In this Divine Phoenix Army, there are two elders from the Phoenix Divine Sect as commanders-in-chief. They usually do not take action, and as elders of the Phoenix Divine Sect, powerful overlords who look down on the world, they are not suitable and do not want to take action in the war. Their duty is to supervise the movements and progress of the army and report to the Phoenix Sect Master Feng Hengkong in person.
But now, in this battle that will take over the Blue Wind Imperial City, they can no longer hold their temper.
"It has taken three whole years to completely conquer such a small country like Cangfeng. The Sect Master has already been angry several times! Now the Cangfeng Imperial City is right in front of us, but we have been attacking it for a whole day and night and still cannot break it! In just one hour, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lost! This is simply unreasonable!" The Nineteenth Elder Feng Feiheng said angrily: "How can I explain this to the Sect Master!"
Qi Zhencang smiled bitterly and said, "Two elders, calm down. The last remnants of Blue Wind have put themselves in danger and fought for their lives. On the battlefield, such desperate troops are the most terrifying, and such momentum is also indestructible... Right now, if we want to wipe out all the remaining desperate troops of Blue Wind, our army may have to pay tens of thousands of casualties."
“Hmph!” Feng Feiheng’s face was filled with anger: “After destroying these humble and pitiful remnants of the Blue Wind Army, you still want tens of thousands of my Divine Phoenix Army to be buried with them!? We originally thought that taking down the mere Blue Wind Imperial City, a total loss of tens of thousands was already the limit, and we never planned to take action. It seems that we are totally wrong! If this continues, even if we take down the Blue Wind Imperial City immediately... How can we face the Sect Master when we return!”
"Fei Ying!" Feng Feiheng said with a sidelong glance.
"Haha," the 43rd elder Feng Feiying immediately understood, smiled faintly, flew up, and rushed straight to the gate of Cangfeng City. An unparalleled aura belonging to the Overlord also enveloped him, instantly suppressing most of the shouting and killing sounds on the battlefield. He looked down from the sky, disdainful of the dense "ants" below, his arms ignited, and a ball of phoenix flame was casually waved in front of the city gate.
