2356 Chapter 2,247, the enemy was inside
At the same time, the Star Alliance’s Chamber of Commerce Army and the Eternal Night Empire’s rebel army sent out their troops to conquer the imperial city.
On this day.
Outside the imperial city, tens of thousands of horses were silent. The densely packed warriors covered all the space inside and outside the imperial city like dark clouds.
The people of the Star Alliance’s Chamber of Commerce were both in the sky and underground.
They finally arrived at the city and stopped in front of the imperial city’s inheritance formation.
This formation was inherited from the founding monarch. After being strengthened and strengthened by the previous monarchs, it had long been impregnable.
Even if a great grandmaster realm expert came, he couldn’t shake it from the outside.
On the city wall.
Xiao Lifeng, Guangyu, and the others were as if they were facing a great enemy. They looked down at a brightly colored carriage in the army below the city.
The carriage was covered with a soft, snow-white beast skin, and a half-naked, slender man was lying on the side.
He looked very young, and his facial features were soft and feminine. His long blue hair was particularly eye-catching.
Beside him, there were many beautiful women surrounded by beautiful women. All of them were stunning characters.
Some of them were not inferior to the top beauties like Bi Yun and Hong Xian.
Bright jade stared at this person with a serious gaze.
Xiao Lifeng said in a serious tone, “This person is Piao Yunzi, right?”
His words were filled with an unconcealable killing intent.
More than half of the city lords in the nightless Imperial Kingdom had lost their lives at the hands of this person.
“Yes! It’s very likely that he has the cultivation of the perfect heaven tier.”Bright Jade, who had fought with him before, had the deepest feelings.
The luminous jade had the cultivation of the advanced stage of the Heaven Tier, but in the hands of this person, it was difficult for it to withstand ten moves.
From this, one could infer that his cultivation had probably reached the peak of the heaven tier.
Xiao Lifeng’s breathing quickened. The peak of the Heaven Tier was definitely not something he could contend against.
“Don’t worry, we just can’t handle it. They can’t do anything to us.”Xiao Lifeng looked at the enemy troops that were approaching the city walls, and he wasn’t disheartened.
The core of the nightless imperial kingdom was him and a group of high-level officials.
As long as they did not die, the nightless imperial kingdom could rise again.
Therefore, as long as they protected themselves and the imperial city, they would be in an invincible position.
“Xiao Lifeng, the tide is turning. It’s good for everyone if you surrender obediently.”Piao Yunzi pushed aside the serving girl beside him, sat up, and lay down on the reclining chair with a gentle smile.
Xiao Lifeng’s eyes were calm as he said, “Isn’t the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce Afraid of provoking the resistance of many civilizations by interfering with the seven star civilization without permission?”
Piao Yunzi chuckled. “Of course not! Humans are a kind of cold and cold-blooded creatures. They will not make any moves unless they have violated their own interests. Just like a group of pigs in captivity. When one of the pigs is killed, the other pigs will only watch coldly. Only when they have been killed will they retaliate with heart-wrenching resistance.”
‘they are actually compared to pigs?’?
Xiao Lifeng was secretly angry, but it could not be denied that Piao Yunzi’s words were indeed a reflection of all kinds of things in the world.
The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce only violated the interests of the glazed civilization. The other civilizations would not take the risk to resist the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce until they became the target.
“You are just a mere imperial city. You can last one day, but you can not last a lifetime,”Piao Yunzi said patiently. “If you are willing to submit now, not only will you be spared from death, but you will also become a glorious member of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, from now on, the Palace of light will also be under your jurisdiction. What do you think?”
His expression was very serious, and it didn’t seem like he was lying.
The heart of the bright jade wavered, and it couldn’t help but look at Xiao Lifeng.
Would he agree?
“Humph! Don’t embarrass yourself with your tricks to sow discord. If I, Xiao Lifeng, were really so muddle-headed, I would have long been pierced by thousands of arrows and turned into a pile of bones.”Xiao Lifeng’s mind was very clear in the face of the truth.
If the other party was so kind-hearted, why did he have to kill his way all the way to the bottom of the city wall?
He was merely trying to sow discord between Xiao Lifeng and the radiant jade!
Piao Yunzi’s eyes flickered. He was about to say something when Xiao Lifeng gave an order, “All subordinates of the Eternal Nightless Empire, listen up. From now on, you are to only guard the city wall. Unless I personally give the order, no one is allowed to open the formation without authorization!”
“Yes!”
At this crucial moment of life and death, Xiao Lifeng was the backbone of all of them.
Piao Yunzi’s gaze darkened, and a cold smile appeared on his face. “Xiao Lifeng, even if you aren’t thinking about yourself, you should be thinking about your people, right?”
Hualala —
A group of soldiers escorted a few experts who were bound all over to the city gates.
With a glance, they were all the city lords of the Eternal Nightless Empire.
They would rather die than surrender, and in the end, they were captured by the Star Alliance’s Chamber of Commerce.
A total of eleven people stood side by side, pressed together.
“They have all sworn to follow your loyalty to the death and laid down their feats for the eternal glory of your Nightless Empire. Do you have the heart to watch them become prisoners and then be beheaded?”driftcloud threatened.
His words implied that he was prepared to execute them before the two armies.
Xiao Lifeng’s heart sank, and his eyes were filled with anger.
He clenched his fists tightly and pulled them together.
Those were all his trusted aides!
However, he also understood that he could not agree to drifting cloud son’s request. Once they surrendered, not only would eleven of them die, but the entire imperial city would die.
The best example was the palace of light.
Those who refused to submit had been completely killed. The number of dead was unknown.
“Drifting cloud, if you attack an unarmed person, are you worthy of your status as the Vice President of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce?”Xiao Lifeng asked.
Drifting Cloud smiled darkly and snapped his fingers.
Immediately, a soldier beheaded the first captive.
The head rolled and blood spurted, making Xiao Lifeng’s eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
“From now on, kill one person every two hours until you are willing to lead the people of the eternal nightless empire and hand over the former palace master of the Palace of Light.”Drifting Cloud smiled faintly and lay on his side again, enjoying wine and having fun with the beautiful characters, his mood was extremely carefree.
It was as if this place wasn’t a battlefield, but a place where he was at ease and at ease.
Xiao Lifeng painfully closed his eyes and didn’t look at the other ten captives.
War was painful, but if one fell in pain, it would cause even more pain.
He endured the grief in his heart and gave a final order, “All members remember to only guard and not come out!”
Thus, he retreated to the attic on the city wall with bright jade and the others to rest.
He did not believe that the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce would continue to waste time.
The Apocalypse was less than eighty years away. The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce would never waste a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources for a civilization.
Retreating was only a matter of time.
As long as they could hold their ground.
Fortunately, they had learned from the lesson of the Palace of light. Xiao Lifeng had carried out a large-scale purge of the imperial city in advance and eliminated all the hidden dangers of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce.
If nothing unexpected happened, they should be able to hold on.
However, in the Princess’residence.
The princess, who was facing the wall, was holding a jade pendant. She had just received a message from the man in the bamboo hat.
“Your Highness, the hundreds of millions of sons of the nightless imperial kingdom are in imminent danger. Please save them, Princess,”the man in the bamboo hat transmitted his voice.
Princess Qianyue frowned slightly. “Father is leading the experts of the country to resist the foreign enemies. Why are you begging me?”
The man in the bamboo hat transmitted his voice. “Princess, you don’t know this. It is precisely because of the emperor’s stubbornness that the common people have fallen into the fire and water!”
“What do you mean?”Princess Qianyue was a little displeased. He actually spoke ill of her father.
The man in the bamboo hat said sincerely, “The Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce only requires the Eternal Empire to submit. They will not harm anyone. However, the emperor’s stubborn resistance caused the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce to fly into a rage out of humiliation. They decided to break through the restrictions of the imperial city at all costs and slaughter everyone in the city.”
“This…”Princess Qianyue hesitated, a hint of hesitation rising in her heart.
“Princess, the Palace of Light is a lesson learned from the past. Because of its stubborn resistance, it ended up being massacred by the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce. Could the princess bear to see the imperial city end up the same way?”
Her words were moving, especially for those who had yet to experience the world.
“But my father… will they let it go?”Princess Qianyue also felt that such resistance was meaningless.
How powerful was the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce? The defense of the Palace of light was not inferior to that of the eternal nightless empire, but what was the result? Wasn’t it destroyed just like that?
“Princess, please rest assured. The Vice President of the Star Alliance Chamber of Commerce promised on the spot that as long as they were allowed to enter the city, not only would they pardon the monarch, but they would also bestow the territory of the Palace of light to the monarch, making him the overlord of the Glaze Civilization.”
“Really?”Princess Qianyue was instantly moved.
“Absolutely! As the vice president, how could the promise he made be false?”The man in the bamboo hat continued, “Princess, if you can facilitate this matter, then you will be the most outstanding princess in the history of the nightless empire, and will be remembered forever by future generations.”
Princess Qianyue’s heart thumped. She had always loved vanity.
Hearing the man in the bamboo hat bluff her, she immediately thought of how her name would be passed down through the ages.
“Princess, doesn’t the king always feel that you are not good enough? This time, you have done something that has made him look at you in a new light.”
Princess Qianyue couldn’t help but say, “Alright, then I will go and persuade father to surrender.”
“No!”The man in the bamboo hat said, “How stubborn is the king? If the princess tries to persuade him, not only will she not appreciate your kindness, she might even think that the princess is unreasonable and imprison you.”
Princess Qianyue thought about it and agreed.
“Then what should we do?”Princess Qianyue asked.
The man in the bamboo hat said thoughtfully, “Princess, Do You Trust Me?”
Princess Qianyue trusted the man in the bamboo hat and said, “I trust you!”
She would rather trust the person she met for the first time than the person who had accompanied her for a long time and helped her.
“If you trust me, Princess, you can activate the city protection array alone,”the man in the bamboo hat said.
“No, Father Knows. He will beat me to death!”Princess Qianyue quickly said.
The man in the bamboo hat shook his head. “This is a good thing for the country, the people, and the emperor. Not only will he not punish you after this, but he will also dote on you even more from now on.”
Princess Qianyue hesitated. After thinking for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said, “Okay, I’ll Go!”
Not long after, Princess Qianyue quietly left the Princess’mansion and came to the royal palace.
The core of the legacy array was in the royal palace.
Usually, Xiao Lifeng would personally guard it.
Now that Xiao Lifeng was on the city wall to deal with the army under the city, Xiao Lifeng assigned his trusted aides to guard it.
A total of nine masters in the fish-dragon realm surrounded the control hub so tightly that not even a mosquito could fly in.
Princess Qianyue thought for a while and an idea popped up in her mind.
