As the progress on the Western Zhou front slowed down, the pressure on the Wuya Dynasty decreased significantly, allowing them to allocate troops to support Bujiang. As a result, Bujiang faced increased pressure.
Back and forth, both the bewildered Western Zhou soldiers and the Bu Jiang soldiers simultaneously discovered that the siege, which had been so close at hand, had been stalled.
It was because of this delay that the Bu Jiang Dynasty received the ceasefire edict, while the Wu Ya Dynasty received the return of Jun Feijue and others.
Jiang Junying
"The King has passed away!"
The generals who received the ceasefire order were all dumbfounded.
Wasn't it said that the Empress had been successfully subdued?
How could the king suddenly pass away?
Is this news true?
Looking at the letter in his hand, the acting commander asked with suspicion, "Where is the General? Why didn't he come to inform us personally?"
Just as the Queen was heading to assassinate the King of Bujiang, Shen Xiong also discovered that she had disappeared from the front lines.
Fearing something might happen, he led a group of men back to protect the emperor.
To everyone's surprise, they learned upon their return that the Empress had been imprisoned.
Because the King-level demon was devouring the Queen's soul, after receiving the news brought back by Shen Xiong, for safety reasons, he was not sent back to the battlefield, but was left behind to protect the Dharma.
The border war is going smoothly, so there is indeed no need for Shenxiong to take charge for the time being.
But now that Shen Xiong has personally gone back to protect the king, how could the king suddenly die?
The acting commander stared intently at the edict in his hand. Even if the king had passed away, this edict should have been written by Shen Xiong, but the handwriting was clearly not his.
Although the Zhenguo Seal is indeed genuine.
"This...this humble servant doesn't know either."
The soldiers who delivered the message knew, of course, that Shen Xiong was dead. It was only when they were cleaning up the palace that they discovered the mummified corpses that filled the dark room.
It's truly appalling.
It was then that they realized why the king had become so strange; he was no longer the same king he once was!
Even those high-ranking and powerful ministers have all turned into man-eating monsters!
But who would believe that if I told them?
"explain!"
The acting commander immediately saw through the soldier's nervousness and suddenly unleashed his aura, pressing down on the soldier.
"Thump..."
The soldier couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down immediately. He trembled as he said, "General, it's not that I don't want to speak, but that I dare not speak."
"If you don't talk, what use are you?"
The acting commander showed no mercy, his icy tone carrying a chilling killing intent.
“This humble general will speak, this humble general will speak.”
Sensing the overwhelming murderous aura, the soldier chickened out and had no choice but to tell the whole story.
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, the acting commander was so shocked that he stood up abruptly from his seat, and all the generals in the tent were also stunned.
The king is a monster, and the palace has been occupied by the empress of the Wuya Dynasty!
"So, you've all betrayed us."
After a moment of silence, the acting commander held the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes cold as he looked at the soldier.
"This...this humble servant..."
"puff…"
Seeing the acting commander's gaze, the soldier immediately had a bad feeling. Just as he was about to run away, his head was cut off by a sword.
The bloody head rolled twice on the ground before stopping, leaving a trail of blood everywhere.
"General, what should we do now?"
However, no one felt sorry for the soldier's plight, or even showed him any sympathy.
Because he died from stupidity.
