Chapter 572: The Poisonous Beauty Snake
The enchanting concubine sitting on the high platform next to the King of Han was not at all flustered. Her delicate and charming brows knitted slightly, then quickly lowered. Her beautiful eyes looked towards the south city gate, and she snuggled into the arms of the Khan beside her, saying in a delicate voice, "This city guard is really unruly. The Saint of the Divine Favor Sect is being crowned. How can he ruin the atmosphere like this? Your Majesty, don't you think it's time to replace this city guard? Don't let just any random person take over the position."
She spoke with a seductive voice and a smile, her beautiful eyes looking at Li Yu below. It was obvious that she was taking advantage of the situation. The nobles around her could see clearly who the cats and dogs she was talking about were.
So, everyone agreed with smiles and politeness, "Yes, yes, your Majesty is absolutely right. It's just the rebels attacking, yet he panicked like this. How can someone so timid take on the important task of defending the city?"
"It's definitely because the people below are ignorant and don't know how to select people. They're pushing all sorts of random people who are not capable of the task up here to serve. It's truly shameful."
Li Yu did not take the alarm that resounded throughout the city seriously. She knew the rebels very well. The night before yesterday, both King Wu's army and King Qin's army suffered heavy losses. Given Wu Yaxi's concern for her brothers, she would definitely not let them go into battle with injuries, so it was definitely not her who came today.
And how could the remaining tens of thousands of Qin Wang's army be any match for the military strength of the royal capital? What's more, there were dozens of mechas stationed in the royal capital, so they couldn't get in no matter what.
So Li Yu was not panicked at all. Now she should focus on dealing with the evil concubine in front of her.
The woman, Yao Fei, looks enchanting and charming, but she is actually a dark person inside.
They are all beautiful snakes with poison in their hearts, and no one knows who is who.
But now she has just joined the Divine Favor Sect. Although she is a saint with a high status, she has no foundation as a newcomer. So now is not the time for her to make trouble and confront the Demon Concubine, so she can only swallow her anger for the time being.
Li Yu pretended not to hear the nobles' implicit words, patted her skirt, stood up calmly and gracefully, then turned to face the crowd, and acted like a dignified and generous saint to welcome everyone's worship.
However, this succession ceremony of the Saint was destined to be full of twists and turns, and was also destined not to be completed perfectly as Li Yu wished.
A blood-soaked soldier ran towards the platform. He looked disheveled and panicked, and he shouted, "Report! Over half a million rebels have reached the South City gate. Countless city guards have been killed or wounded, and fifty mechas have been destroyed. They're about to breach the gate and break in."
Suddenly, the nobles present were in an uproar, and the timid ones couldn't help but panic.
The bloated King of Han also trembled with fear, his narrowed eyes flashing with panic. He murmured in confusion, "How could it be? Why are there so many of them?"
Then he quickly lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms and said hurriedly, "Yao'er, quickly, ask Elder Mao Tao to take charge of the situation."
The demon concubine leaning in his arms had a stiff face and didn't quite believe her ears. She knew the situation of the remaining two rebel armies better than Li Yu. At most, the two armies combined, including the old, weak and sick among them, would definitely not exceed 200,000 people. So where did these 500,000 rebels come from?
Moreover, their defense in the South City is not weak. All the mechas have been transferred there to guard, and the Divine Favored Sect has also sent some people to guard there.
The nobles value their lives, and the Divine Favored Cult also wants to keep this aristocratic district safe and sound, so the defense at the city gate is definitely not weak. But now, how long has it been, and the city gate is suspected to be lost?
At this moment, her thoughts were rarely the same as those of the foolish King of Han. Where did those more than 500,000 rebels come from?
But this was not the time to think about these things. The concubine's face became serious, and she stood up from the King of Han's arms. Her charming and soft body swayed gracefully as she stood up, and her aura suddenly became powerful and strange.
She glanced at the person waiting beside her, her charming face shimmering with anger as she ordered in a cold voice, "Hurry up and follow the King of Han's instructions and ask Elder Mao Tao to come out and defend the city gate against the enemy."
"Yes, my lady."
"Add more guards to guard the king, and escort all the others into the palace for safe haven."
"yes."
The two men received the order, bowed respectfully to the demon concubine, and disappeared one after another.
Less than a minute later, a group of ferocious guards arrived, but the nobles were so scared that their legs went limp. Like their bloated king, they were helped to retreat quickly towards the palace.
There were only a few nobles whose expressions were different. At first glance, they looked panicked, but in fact, there was a glint in their eyes. After this group of ferocious guards arrived, they could only try their best to cover up their strangeness and pretend to be as scared as the other nobles.
Li Yu raised his foot and wanted to retreat with them, but was blocked by the people around the demon concubine.
"What do you mean?" Li Yu wore an exquisite and shining hair crown on her head, and her beautiful eyes turned to look at the demon concubine not far away with anger.
The Demon Concubine glanced at her with a half-smile and sneered, "As a Saint, you've just finished the succession ceremony and you've already encountered a catastrophe. It seems ominous. So, I don't think you're suitable to be the Saint of our Divine Favored Sect."
Li Yu glared at her angrily and asked anxiously, "Do you want to take revenge?"
The demon concubine curled her lips, not angry but smiling, "You can understand it that way."
"If you survive this war, it would prove that you are indeed worthy of the title of Saint, but now, go and prove yourself. Jiang San, send this unfortunate Saint to the city gate to help the people who believe in our Divine Favored Religion."
"yes."
A man with a scar on the corner of his mouth, who was arrogant and domineering, came over with two people. He waved his hand, and the two people behind him immediately came over to grab Li Yu. No matter how Li Yu struggled and cursed, it was of no use. Only then did Li Yu really start to be afraid.
She seemed to have underestimated the status of the Demon Concubine in the Han Dynasty and the Divine Favor Sect.
But it was too late to regret now, she could only let herself be dragged towards the city gate.
The current battle situation at the city gate is better than what the embarrassed soldier who came to report just now said. There are countless mechas fighting outside, both in the air and on the ground.
There were also many people standing on the city wall, firing supernatural or energy weapons downwards, but there seemed to be no signs of the city being breached.
The sounds of fierce fighting continued as the two men dragged Li Yu onto the city wall and untied her.
