"Marquis Zhenbei, Ye Chen is not in this city. Even if you break into the city, you still can't catch him."
On the city wall, Pingnan Hou covered his chest in pain and said in a deep voice.
He is now at the end of his strength. In a previous battle with Zhenbei Hou, he was seriously injured by the latter. Even now, there is still a lot of fire energy running rampant in his body and cannot be completely eliminated.
Obviously, his old rival has become even more powerful now. The current Marquis of Zhenbei has probably already stepped half a foot into the realm of God. It is only a matter of time before he steps into the real realm of God.
"Marquis Pingnan, listen to me. You have ten breaths to disable the city defense formation. Everyone in this city, regardless of gender, age, or whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, must kneel down before me. Otherwise, I will use the most brutal means to torture you to death one by one..."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was suspended in mid-air, looking coldly towards the opposite city wall. The murderous intent in his body almost turned into substance and overflowed from his body, making anyone present feel intimidated and dare not confront him.
Everyone knows that the Marquis of Zhenbei loves his only son Fang Rui very much, and it can be said that he is more important to him than his own life.
Now that Fang Rui has been killed, one can imagine how angry he is.
Anyone can see that the Marquis of Zhenbei will never give up unless he captures Ye Chen and kills people to vent his anger until his rage completely subsides!
General Zhu Kai, the Southern Zhen general, stood beside the Marquis of Pingnan and shouted, "My Lord, why don't we just charge in and fight them? Instead of just sitting there in the city like a coward, listening to that old bastard's constant insults, I'm about to explode!"
"Zhu Kai, don't act rashly!"
General Lu Qingfeng, the Southern Expeditionary General, stepped forward to stop them and continued to advise, "A little impatience can ruin a great plan. You must remain calm. We have to wait until reinforcements arrive before we can launch a full-scale counterattack. Otherwise, with the number of men we have now, going out would be a death wish."
"Reinforcements? Where the hell can we get reinforcements?"
Zhu Kai cursed loudly, "I don't know what the damned God's high-ranking officials are thinking. Even the last vital town in the extreme south is about to fall, and there's not even a hint of reinforcements. It's fucking hell!"
Lu Qingfeng frowned upon hearing this and looked at Pingnan Hou and asked, "My Lord, do you know what's going on? Logically speaking, the reinforcements should have arrived long ago."
Marquis Pingnan smiled bitterly and said calmly, "At this point, I have nothing to hide. The court is currently divided. The anti-emperor faction, led by Frost Soul Heavenly King Ling Jiuyou, has been shirking responsibility for the Empress's orders. The powerful members of the clan are even feigning illness and are allowing the situation to deteriorate, completely indifferent."
"The Heavenly King... doesn't he even care about the safety of the Kingdom of God?"
Zhu Kai continued to shout: "What good will this do for him?"
Lu Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "I think they can use this to force the empress to abdicate, and then Frost Soul Heavenly King can sit on the throne himself..."
"Asshole! For his own selfish gain, he caused the suffering of millions of people in the southernmost part of the Divine Kingdom. He even handed over such a large area of territory in the entire southernmost region to others. It's so fucking aggravating!"
Zhu Kai punched the city wall angrily, breathing heavily and gasping violently.
After a moment of silence, he continued, "Then why are we still holding on here? Why don't we just abandon the city and leave!"
Lu Qingfeng sneered, "Old Zhu, have you forgotten that behind us, there are two dukes and the Grand Duke Zhenhai Yuming watching us? Unless there is an order, anyone who deserts the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"
"Damn it! If they don't want to defend anymore, why don't they order a retreat? Are they just leaving us to die?"
Zhu Kai yelled even more angrily.
“…Exactly.”
With a mocking smile on his face, Pingnan Hou looked at Zhu Kai and Lu Qingfeng and said, "They just want us to die!"
These words immediately made Zhu Kai, Lu Qingfeng and others freeze in place.
The monks around fell completely silent, and no one made any sound.
"My Lord, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
Zhu Kai's originally flushed face turned pale at this moment, as if he had some kind of chilling premonition.
Pingnan Hou looked at the other party and said calmly: "If we don't die, how can Zhenbei Hou let it go? If he can't catch Ye Chen this time, we will be the tool for him to vent his anger..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Kai's strong body softened and he was about to sit down.
Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng was quick to pull him back and said in a deep voice, "Old Zhu, cheer up!"
Zhu Kai stood there in shock for a moment. The nine-foot-tall burly man actually had tears of blood streaming from his eyes. He then grabbed Lu Qingfeng with his backhand, lifted him up, and said hoarsely, "Old Lu, we've fought for the Kingdom of God for over a hundred years, and in the end, we've been abandoned. How can you expect me to cheer up?"
He looked towards the sky behind the city and said through gritted teeth, "It's a pity that I, Old Zhu, don't have the strength, otherwise I would have killed Frost Soul Heavenly King and those bastards who are in cahoots with him!"
"Old Zhu, be careful with your words..."
Lu Qingfeng hurriedly reminded that the Heavenly King-level strongmen had great magical powers and could sense some cause and effect. If this was sensed by the Heavenly King Frost Soul, Zhu Kai would definitely die.
"I don't care what I say. I'm going to die anyway today, so can't I just have a good time before I die?"
Lu Qingfeng comforted him, "Maybe a miracle will happen..."
