An arrow pierced through his forehead, and the gradually fading spirit in the eyes of Zhenbei Hou revealed a complex expression, including despair, regret, and more of unwillingness.
He was a hero of his generation, who dominated the Far North for hundreds of years and was about to enter the realm of God, but now he was about to fall here.
How could he be willing?
He hadn't even figured out why Ye Chen's arrow ignored the power of his treasure, the law of time, and killed him directly?
However, no matter how unwilling he was at this moment, no matter how much doubt he had, he could not resist the passage of life...
The light in Zhenbei Hou's eyes finally dimmed completely, and the palm that wanted to clench finally lost its strength and opened slightly.
"Zhenbei Hou... is dead!?"
This voice was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the heads of countless monks from the surrounding Chiyang Divine Kingdom.
Everyone was shocked as they watched the corpse of Marquis Zhenbei falling silently from mid-air, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
And this news is spreading across the entire battlefield at an astonishing speed.
Millions of monks from both sides who were fighting in various places were stunned when they heard the news.
Those monks from the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom, who were in high spirits, seemed to have lost the courage to continue fighting in an instant.
The commander of this battle has been killed, what can happen to these minions?
The Xuanbing Divine Kingdom will definitely launch an unprecedented counterattack next. If these people continue to waste time here, they will probably be in great danger!
After some clever cultivators realized this, they immediately abandoned their opponents and fled towards the Xueyin Mountains. They wanted to escape back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion of the Chiyang Divine Kingdom before the remaining troops of the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom gathered their strength to counterattack.
But how could this phenomenon be concealed? Seeing some monks begin to evacuate quietly, more monks lost interest in fighting and also evacuated.
Most of the other cultivators of the Chiyang Divine Kingdom, seeing so many people rushing to evacuate the battlefield, chose to mindlessly follow the crowd and flee.
Just like that, in just a short time, the million-strong army of monks from the Chiyang Divine Kingdom on the entire southern battlefield began to collapse across the board, scrambling to flee towards the Xueyin Mountains.
The cultivators of the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom, who were fighting like trapped beasts, were a little dazed at first when they saw this scene. But when they saw that these guys were really panicking and some even bumped into each other in panic, all the people of the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom were like being injected with chicken blood, and they burst out with amazing fighting power again and rushed towards the people of the Chiyang Divine Kingdom.
The battlefield situation took a 180-degree turn in an instant!
…
At this time in the Xuanbing Palace.
The Empress, the Four Heavenly Kings, and all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting for intelligence developments from the front line.
An intelligence officer quickly ran into the hall and delivered a solemn announcement, "Your Majesty, news has arrived from the front lines: the enemy has completely occupied our southernmost region. The Marquis of Pingnan is currently leading the remaining main force of his troops to retreat to the last important outlying town, Luobei City. The remaining scattered units are holding out in various locations, but their defeat is only a matter of time..."
Upon hearing this, the entire court was in an uproar, with discussions and arguments rising one after another.
Frost Soul Heavenly King Ling Jiuyou stood up and shouted, "Everyone has seen this. My Xuanbing Divine Nation's defeat in this battle is a foregone conclusion. From now on, the entire southernmost region will no longer belong to my Divine Nation. The reason for this disastrous outcome is entirely due to the current empress's incompetent governance, unbalanced management, inappropriate deployment, and poor personnel management!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the court, which was originally bustling with noise, suddenly became silent.
The expressions of the many civil and military officials were all different. Some were indignant, some were watching from the sidelines, some were complaining, and some nodded in praise.
"In my opinion, it would be best for the Empress to abdicate and let someone more capable take over..."
I don't know who said this, but it was like a stone thrown into a pond, immediately causing ripples.
More people echoed:
"I think what Frost Soul Heavenly King said is absolutely right. Since the Empress is young and ignorant and cannot handle such a heavy responsibility, it would be better to recommend a new, virtuous and virtuous emperor to take the throne!"
"Indeed, if this continues, my Xuanbing Divine Kingdom will be destroyed and completely swallowed up by the Chiyang Divine Kingdom!"
“…”
The empress's face was gloomy, but her slender fingers were gripping the armrest tightly, with such strength that her bright red nails even dug into the metal.
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, a majestic shout interrupted the increasingly excited scene.
Everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke was Leng Guanxing, the Black Crystal King.
At this moment, Leng Guanxing's face was stern, and the aura of a king was unmistakable, which made the people who were originally discussing below silent.
"How dare you, as ministers, utter such outrageous words? If it weren't for the mercy of His Majesty, you would all be dead by now! You..."
However, before Leng Guanxing could finish, Ling Jiuyou interrupted with a sneer, "Xuan Jing Tian Wang, at this point, are you still going to protect the Empress? You've seen that demanding the Empress's abdication is the popular will and the common desire. This is the will of heaven and the will of the people. Are you still going to stubbornly defy heaven and oppose the will of the people?"
Ling Jiuyou's words were so righteous that they stirred up the emotions of the ministers again. More and more people spoke out in support of the deposed emperor, and the voices were even stronger than before.
"Support Frost Soul King!"
"Your Majesty, please abdicate and let someone more capable take over!"
"Our Xuanbing Divine Kingdom needs a new emperor with both virtue and talent!"
“…”
Seeing this situation, Leng Guanxing closed his eyes and sighed, a sense of despair rising in his heart.
Even in this situation, he couldn't think of a good solution to the problem.
After all, the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom is now in a state of crushing defeat, and this is an ironclad fact.
"Your Majesty, this disastrous defeat was caused by you. If you hadn't believed the slander and placed your hopes for governing the country on an unknown person, the irreversible consequences of today wouldn't have occurred..."
Dark Frost King Mo Wusheng stood up again, his dark eyes radiating a dark light as he continued, "So, Your Majesty... I will call you Your Majesty for the last time, and you should abdicate!"
"abdicate!"
"abdicate!"
"abdicate!"
The excited shouts from the crowd below finally made the Empress, sitting on the dragon throne above, unable to suppress her complex expression. That expression contained disappointment, helplessness, grief, anger, and sadness...
She never imagined that one day she would fall into such a desperate situation.
She never expected that she, who had devoted herself to the people and worked tirelessly since ascending the throne, would one day become disloyal and deserted by her friends and relatives!
The empress took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and a crystal tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall again:
"Report—"
