"How could the demons have conquered Donghai City? Donghai City is one of the first-tier cities of our Great Xia. There must be an unparalleled expert guarding it. How could it be so easily conquered by the demons?"
Lin Xuan was shocked and asked incredulously, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? What's the secret behind this?"
Donghai City is one of the top cities in the Great Xia Dynasty, with a permanent population of over 100 million.
He didn't believe that such a city wouldn't have a powerful figure in charge.
If the demons were truly that powerful, they wouldn't have been unable to conquer the entire human race by now.
I'm afraid that all the countries in the world have already been trampled flat by evil spirits.
"There's a traitor!"
Chu Lingkong gritted his teeth and roared, "Ever since the demons took over Japan and wanted to use Japan as a springboard to send troops to countries all over the world, my Great Xia has reacted and built a defense line."
They dispatched a top-tier ancient general to guard Donghai City.
Unexpectedly, the ancient general betrayed them at the crucial moment and sided with the evil forces.
They even claimed that demons and humans could coexist, urging us humans to give up our resistance…
"Damn it, a dignified ancient general, how could he have such a wild idea and betray the entire Great Xia? He truly deserves to die."
"That's right, such a malignant tumor shouldn't exist in this world."
"Judging from this, they are probably followers of some evil god. Only evil gods would shout that they can coexist with demons and evil."
...
As soon as Chu Lingkong spoke, Su Changfeng, Ling Zhan, and the others were filled with rage, wishing they could devour that ancient general alive.
To collude with evil spirits and yet speak so righteously is utterly shameless.
Unfortunately, they were powerless and their anger was of no use; Donghai City had already fallen.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Donghai City fell so quickly."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, but a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice, "What is the reaction of the higher-ups of Great Xia now?"
"We're already mobilizing troops, determined to recapture Donghai City, but... it will be very difficult..."
Chu Linkong said in a deep voice.
Everyone fell silent. Indeed, it would be difficult to take back Donghai City. Once it fell into the hands of evil spirits, it would not be easy to take it back.
Most importantly, the entire population of Donghai City, numbering over 100 million, has now fallen into the hands of evil spirits.
The fate of these hundreds of millions of people will definitely not be good.
All of this was because of a traitor.
No!
It was definitely not just one person; it must have been a group of people. If it were just one mole, Donghai City wouldn't have fallen so quickly. There must have been many people assisting and cooperating with him.
“These things will naturally be handled by others. Now that we are in the outer heavens, we are powerless to interfere.”
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I have sealed the passage of the demons and evil spirits. Without reinforcements, this battle is destined to be won by our human race."
The only difference is how much of a price to pay.
However, this is the general trend, not something you or I can decide. The most urgent task is to defend Hangu Pass and then train the army.
"clear!"
Everyone quickly responded.
Lin Xuan then turned his gaze to Su Changfeng and asked, "How is the reality of the floating island?"
"Everything is proceeding according to plan, but it will probably take at least a year to complete."
Su Changfeng hurriedly said, "My lord, it's basically impossible for the floating island to be used in actual combat in the short term."
But I have a feeling that things won't stay peaceful for long.
"After three months of silence, some people will get restless..."
"Hmph, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's see what tricks they're up to." Lin Xuan sneered, a murderous glint in his eyes.
He knew very well that the Great Xia was not a monolithic entity, and that some people wished they could tear him to pieces.
Therefore, he dared not relax in the slightest from beginning to end.
However, Lin Xuan felt no fear.
Any conspiracy or trickery is a paper tiger in the face of absolute power and is nothing to fear.
What he needs to do now is to steadily improve his strength. Only when he is strong enough can he deter the wolves.
"The Crimson Moon Grotto from the ancient era should be emerging soon."
Lin Xuan thought to himself.
After discussing some other matters with Su Changfeng and the others, he then dismissed them.
Inside the lobby.
Everyone left one after another, leaving only Lin Xuan and Tie Dachui.
At this moment, Lin Xuan said in a deep voice, "Big Hammer, I need you to go back to the inland and bring my parents here."
Now that he is stationed at Hangu Pass, coupled with his previous battle against the gods, he is enough to intimidate everyone.
At least no one would dare to openly seize Shanhaiguan or openly target him.
But as the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark.
There will always be some people who are unwilling to accept this and may secretly use some means. Although he has long since sent the elite troops of the Shanhe Army to protect his parents, he is still somewhat uneasy about the current state of the world.
Therefore, he decided to bring his parents to Hangu Pass so that he would have no worries about them.
"Yes, sir, rest assured, I will definitely bring the two elders back safely."
Iron Hammer immediately responded.
If he was grateful to Lin Xuan before, now he is absolutely worshipful and loyal.
Not only him, but also Su Changfeng, Ling Zhan, Chu Lingkong, and others.
These people were originally destined to live their lives in obscurity, risking their lives every day. If it weren't for Lin Xuan, they might have become cannon fodder one day, benefiting some powerful person.
In fact, neither Tie Dachui nor his team ever imagined that they would one day reach this level.
From being unknown cannon fodder, they grew into commanders, deputy commanders, and captains of the renowned Shanhe Army, each of whom possessed at least the strength of a life-or-death realm warrior.
In the context of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it was a pillar of strength.
Tie Dachui knew very well that everything he had was given to him by Lin Xuan, so he was sincerely grateful to Lin Xuan and 100% loyal to him.
Tie Dachui had already sworn in his heart that he would give his life to Lin Xuan.
For the rest of his life, he would follow Lin Xuan wherever Lin Xuan pointed, and he would never flinch even if it meant going through fire and water.
"Yes, go! Take your men and set off now."
Lin Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "Take the Mountain and River Ship there."
"Yes, sir..."
Upon hearing this, Tie Dachui's eyes lit up with excitement. The Mountain and River Ship was incredibly powerful; it was a supreme treasure that even a peak-level Celestial Realm cultivator couldn't break through!
Lin Xuan actually let him take the Shanhe Ship back, so this trip was basically just a vacation.
Unless, a god-level powerhouse intervenes.
Otherwise, who could do anything to him?
After responding, Tie Dachui didn't waste any more words. He took the token Lin Xuan gave him and left directly. This token was for mobilizing the Shanhe Ship.
The Shanhe Ship has long since become a symbol of the Shanhe Army, and no one is qualified to use it without Lin Xuan's permission.
