Yun Luoling refuted Shang Chengyu on the spot. As the King of Xiao, Yun Sheng naturally had to come out to smooth things over.
Yun Sheng smiled and used the excuse that "marriage is a serious matter, it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words", saying that the matter of the Crown Princess needed to be considered in the long run, and the most urgent task was to safely survive this beast tide.
Yun Sheng was definitely playing a delaying tactic, trying to stabilize Shang Chengyu first and wait until the beast tide crisis was over, but Yun Luoling simply refused to cooperate.
"If you want to sell your daughter for fame and fortune, you can't sell it to me! Let your daughter marry by herself! Don't even think about taking advantage of me!" Yun Luoling didn't back down at all and didn't give Yun Sheng any face.
Naturally, the quarrel ended in a bad mood. Shang Chengyu, whose male self-esteem was frustrated, frowned, flicked his sleeves, and led his troops to retreat to Fengcheng in the rear.
It clearly means 'If you don't come to me for help, I won't save you'.
Facing the beast tide in the Forest of Beasts, Xiaoguo has three cities: Yicheng, Yuancheng, and Zecheng as its defense line.
The city of Yi has been broken, and as for the city of Yuan...if the Xiaoyue Tianlang army arrives, it will be a life-and-death battle without external assistance.
Everyone in the Yun family tried to persuade Yun Luoling to put the overall situation first, and to entrust Xu Snake to the Crown Prince first, so as to overcome the current difficulties first.
But Yun Luoling was very firm in her attitude and simply disagreed.
Yun Luoling is angry with everyone.
"Where were you when I was living in misery in the courtyard? Now that something's happened, you want to sell me out to get through this difficult time? You're dreaming!"
"The people of Xiao Kingdom? I've never eaten rice from the people of Xiao Kingdom! It's none of my business!"
"Besides, wasn't I already fighting the Heavenly Wolf Monster? I wasn't the one who caused the beast tide to come. If you can't defeat the Heavenly Wolf Monster, is that my fault?"
"You want me to sacrifice myself to save Xiaoguo? Get lost!"
…
Facing the criticism from thousands of people with a cold brow, Yun Luoling was extremely determined not to agree to get engaged to the prince.
Yun Luoling herself did not agree, so the Yun family had no choice but to turn to Shang Chengyu for help.
Yun Sheng brought Yun Yaoye and humbly begged Shang Chengyu to lend a helping hand to their Xiao Kingdom.
Although Xuan Huang had only spoken of this verbally, before Yun Luoling appeared, Yun Yaoye was a gifted and brilliant young woman, universally recognized as the Phoenix Girl of Destiny. As a candidate for the future Crown Princess, Yun Yaoye and Shang Chengyu had met several times.
Although Shang Chengyu did not make a clear statement, he definitely gave an ambiguous tacit agreement. In Yun Yaoye's opinion, the two of them could be considered to have a certain degree of friendship.
The two begged Shang Chengyu to help Xiaoguo for the sake of their past friendship, but Shang Chengyu only sneered and mocked them, "You're occupying the magpie's nest, you have evil intentions!"
Shang Chengyu's accusation was like a sword piercing Yun Yaoye's heart, making her face turn pale.
Ever since she was young, others have said that she was the Phoenix Girl of Destiny. Everyone said so, so she has always been strict with herself and never slacked off, for fear of disgracing the name of the Phoenix Girl of Destiny.
And now, just because she is not, all her efforts have become a joke, even vicious?
Is it her fault that she is not the Phoenix Girl of Destiny?
What did she do wrong again?!
Without even bothering to comfort his daughter, Yunsheng took Yunde to beg Shang Chengyu for help again. The two brothers said all kinds of nice things and tried to please him with smiles. Even Yunde directly agreed to the marriage as a father, but Shang Chengyu remained indifferent.
Shang Chengyu's attitude was very firm and tough: Unless Yun Luoling himself agrees, Xiao Kingdom and I have no relatives or friends, so why should I help Xiao Kingdom overcome the difficulties?
Yun Luoling was equally resolute and unyielding: "I won't! I won't agree! I'd rather die than marry that kind of fickle jerk! Xiao Kingdom? It's none of my business!"
As both sides refused to give in, the Howling Moon Wolf King led tens of thousands of Howling Moon Wolf troops to the gates of Yuan City.
The war is about to break out.
Shang Chengyucheng did as he said, with a group of elite summoner troops, watching from the sidelines in Fengcheng in the rear without taking any action.
The battle in Yuancheng was brutal.
Although the city wall can stop an ordinary third-grade Howling Moon Wolf, for a fourth-grade Howling Moon Wolf that has mastered the wind element and its fifth-grade leader, climbing up the city wall is extremely easy and simple.
A fourth-grade demon beast is a complete disaster for ordinary people. Only by surrounding it with thousands of soldiers and using the most brutal human wave tactics can it be killed.
Fifth-rank demon beasts are often invulnerable to weapons and swords. Human cold weapons are almost incapable of harming them, leaving ordinary people completely despairing. Only the summoner's summoned beasts can deal with them.
As the King and Queen of Xiao, Yun Sheng and his wife, who shouldered the royal mission, defended Yuancheng to the death.
As parents, they both hope that their daughter Yun Yaoye will be alive and live well.
Yun Yaoye, who was determined to defend Yuancheng with her parents, was knocked unconscious and taken away by Yunde. She retreated to Zecheng with the troops.
There was no miracle. After suffering more than 100,000 casualties and the death of thousands of summoners, Yuancheng was still lost. King Xiao and the Queen died in the city.
Zecheng is the last line of defense of Xiao Kingdom. Once Zecheng is lost, the army of monsters will be able to march straight into the heart of Xiao Kingdom.
Yunde, who retreated to Zecheng, was extremely anxious. He had no way of convincing his stubborn daughter. He could only pray secretly that the Sirius Beast would be full and return to the Forest of Beasts.
Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. The Sirius Beast that had carried out a massive massacre in Yuan City showed no signs of retreating back to the Forest of Beasts.
Just when Yunde was at his wit's end and was running around in circles in panic, the envoy who went to ask for help brought back news.
Since Shang Chengyu's approach was unsuccessful, the Yun family naturally sent envoys to other countries for help. Although the probability of other countries being willing to rescue was very small, they still had to try.
