All in all, there are only 80,000 people in total.
Ye Feng is nominally a Saint Realm expert, the first Nanling King from seven hundred years ago!
Moreover, although the army of Silla Castle was small in number, its combat strength could not be measured by conventional standards.
Over the past few days, the combat prowess displayed by the infantry and artillery corps of Silla City has astonished everyone.
King Jiang Yuye of the North Cold and King Ouyang Ming of the West had no doubt that if the two of them led their legions to fight against the Night Wind's legion, they would be the ones to be wiped out!
Therefore, even though they held the same rank and had more troops, Jiang Yuye and Ouyang Ming were extremely respectful to Ye Feng, and they dared not disobey any of Ye Feng's orders.
"I just received news that a group of mutated red-tailed beasts has launched a surprise attack on the capital. We must immediately lead our troops back to the capital to defend it," Ye Feng said.
Jiang Yuye and Ouyang Ming's expressions changed drastically, both showing disbelief.
"That mutated red-tailed beast group numbers around ten thousand. How long do you think the capital can hold out?" Ye Feng asked.
"With the current military strength in the capital, it would be good if they could hold out for two days," Jiang Yuye said.
“In that case, let’s get to the capital within two days!” Ye Feng said heavily.
The two days passed in a flash.
Blood was everywhere on the city wall, and the cracks between the bricks were filled with blood. The stench of blood permeated the area around the city wall and was extremely pungent.
Even so, Zhu Yunren still stood on the city wall, clad in armor and holding a long sword, making sure that every soldier defending the city could see him and let them know that their prince had not abandoned the city or fled from them, but was fighting alongside them to defend the city!
Several legions finally appeared in the distance, like a black tide flowing towards this direction.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunren finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
"See that, Li Qiuying? We held on! We succeeded! We've finally received reinforcements!" Zhu Yunren exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Qiuying's face flushed with excitement as she stood with Zhu Yunren, gazing at the distant army.
It was at this moment that the legion at the forefront opened fire.
Strands of crimson light fell like raindrops among the mutated red-tailed beasts, blasting them to ashes!
This terrifying explosion was like a divine punishment from heaven, shaking everyone's hearts.
Even Zhu Yunren and Li Qiuying were stunned.
"That's the new-style army of Silla City? What kind of weapons are those..." Zhu Yunren said in shock, his mouth agape.
Li Qiuying said, "I didn't believe that Silla City could defeat the Southern Allied Army of 200,000 troops with less than 10,000 soldiers, but now I can't help but believe it. Silla City's army is like a steel behemoth, it's terrifying."
Two days of fighting reduced the number of mutated red-tailed beasts that had launched a surprise attack on the capital from 10,000 to 4,000.
Now that hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived to provide support, these four thousand mutated red-tailed beasts can no longer cause any trouble and are easily wiped out by Night Wind's infantry and artillery legions.
From the start to the end of the battle, less than half an hour had passed!
Suddenly, the city gates opened.
The court officials, all dressed in new clothes and waving flags, led their honor guards out of the capital to welcome the army that had come to their aid.
It's clear to anyone with eyes that the Hongtian Empire has come to a complete end after this sudden internal strife.
Next, it will be the era of Silla City, and Luo Tong, the city lord of Silla City, will become the new emperor of the Hongtian Empire!
For this reason, these court officials were already eager to switch their allegiance to a wise ruler and support the new emperor!
“Li Qiuying, look, the ceremonial guards and escorts led by those ministers are all using brand-new armor and weapons, even their warhorses. Where do you think they hid all these things before?” Zhu Yunren said.
Li Qiuying looked at those people with disdain and said coldly, "Hiding in their filthy bellies!"
Zhu Yunren smiled and said, "So you can swear too."
“I only criticize those who deserve it,” Li Qiuying said.
Zhu Yunren waved his hand, and a young man dressed in black suddenly appeared beside him and knelt down on one knee.
"Tell the Prince of Nanling for me that there are still some Crimson-tailed Beasts remaining on Crow Terrace. Please order the bombardment of Crow Terrace!" Upon hearing this, Li Qiuying's expression changed drastically.
The young shadow guard dressed in black was also startled.
Crow Terrace is where the court officials who are welcoming the Silla City army are currently located. Zhu Yunren ordered Ye Feng to bombard Crow Terrace to kill all those court officials!
"Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed!" the young shadow guard hurriedly said.
Li Qiuying also said, "Your Highness, you must think it over! If you really do this, after the Prince of Nanling kills the court officials of Crow Terrace, he will not bear any responsibility; the only one who will bear the responsibility is yourself!"
"So what? The era of the Hongtian Empire has ended, and a new era is about to begin. These court officials are all selfish and harmful to others. Their continued existence will not benefit the country at all, but will only bring endless troubles."
"Since that's the case, then let me bear this guilt, take them all away, and let them disappear completely with the wheels of history!"
Zhu Yunren said this without any politeness, and waved to the young shadow guard.
The shadow guard took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Yes, Your Highness!"
Inside the lightning shuttle suspended in the air, Ye Feng, Jiang Yuye, and Ouyang Ming were surveying the battlefield below.
Most of the Red-tailed Beasts are dead, with only a very few still alive.
However, the few remaining Red-tailed Beasts are no longer a threat.
The war that swept across the entire Hongtian Empire has finally come to an end.
"Jiang Yuye, you should make a decision now, right?" Ye Feng asked.
Jiang Yuye knew exactly what Ye Feng meant. She immediately nodded and knelt on one knee in front of Ye Feng: "I support His Highness Prince Nanling to become the new emperor of our Hongtian Empire!"
Ouyang Ming was startled by Jiang Yuye, but he immediately realized what was going on and knelt down on one knee after only a moment's hesitation.
“I also support His Highness Prince Nanling to ascend the throne and become emperor!” Ouyang Ming said.
Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Very good, very good. You may get up now."
Jiang Yuye and Ouyang Ming finally got up from the ground.
Just as Ye Feng was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
The next moment, he raised his hand and grabbed, and a young shadow guard entered the lightning shuttle in a very disheveled state, rolling to Ye Feng's front.
"Who sent you?" Night Wind asked.
