I am the villain in the book

#456 - Rekindled hope

“Kill!!!”

Great Feng, Fengyuan City.

When Wei Changtian made his appearance on the Shu Province battlefield in a "God Descending to Earth" pose, greatly boosting the morale of the Shu army, Li Wutong, dressed in red, stood as always at the forefront of Fengyuan City's wall, inspiring hundreds of thousands of Great Feng soldiers to fight bravely.

Now, half a month has passed since Li Qi fell into a coma.

With the Emperor in critical condition, the morale of Great Feng had once plummeted to rock bottom, as if it would collapse and be defeated at any moment.

However, in the past half month, although Fengyuan City was nearly breached several times, it was stubbornly defended in the end.

Of course.

High morale may stimulate people's potential, but when it comes to the level of war, the extent of this improvement is limited.

The gap in hard power cannot be filled as a result, not to mention that the Da Ning soldiers, who vowed to "avenge" their compatriots in Yuanzhou City, already had morale no weaker than that of Great Feng.

So, no matter how hard Li Wutong tried, it seemed that she was only delaying the time of defeat.

In fact, even she herself has now reached the most critical moment of life and death.

"Princess! Go!!"

The deafening explosion was exceptionally loud, even on this noisy battlefield.

Zhu Tianhong, with his white beard and hair, waved his palm, and a palm print mixed with the majestic power of "势" shot out, and then collided with a sword aura in mid-air.

"Rumble!"

The impact force erupted by the collision of the Second Rank realm instantly overturned hundreds of soldiers around, including Li Wutong, who had already cut her hair short.

The latter looked extremely embarrassed at the moment, but she did not hesitate at all. The next moment, she bit her lip and got up, staggering towards the rear.

Obviously, after half a month, Da Ning wanted to repeat the trick and take her life again by means of a sneak attack.

Li Wutong can get this kind of "treatment", naturally because Da Ning's commander Wu Ding has regarded her as an important figure of the same status as Li Qi.

From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a kind of "affirmation" to her.

However, Li Wutong herself certainly has no time to think about these irrelevant things. At this moment, there is only one belief in her heart—

Survive.

"Protect the Princess!!"

"Someone come quickly!! Escort the Princess down the city wall!!"

"Quick!!!"

"."

In her ears, countless urgent shouts and footsteps were dense and chaotic.

Li Wutong could hear these sounds and see the swords and shadows in front of her.

But she could also feel the approach of death.

I can't die...

I can't...

Repeating the only sentence in her heart, the desire to survive made Li Wutong run wildly along the "lifeline" opened up by the Great Feng soldiers with their lives.

She was not afraid of death, or rather, since she had chosen to coexist with Fengyuan, she had already disregarded life and death.

Li Wutong just didn't want to die now.

Because she knew very well that as the last spiritual pillar of Great Feng, if she died, it would mean the end of the war and the destruction of Great Feng.

So, even if it was only for the illusory last chance to turn the tables, she couldn't die at this time.

It's just...

Looking around, a trace of sadness and despair could not help flashing in Li Wutong's eyes.

Although the Great Feng soldiers in black armor were already trying their best to win a glimmer of hope for her, this glimmer of hope was as slim as Great Feng's hope of turning the tables on the battlefield.

Dozens of Middle Third Rank, three Third Rank, one Second Rank... These people pretended to be ordinary soldiers and only launched an attack when they reached the city wall under their feet.

Although Zhu Tianhong desperately blocked most of the attacks at the first time, he could not block everyone after all.

Including the ordinary soldiers who died one after another beside her.

They were only Lower Third Rank, and even if they fell like wheat being harvested, they could only barely resist the opponent for a moment.

Wu Ding must have made thorough preparations and would never let himself escape easily.

And in this short period of time, whether it was Meng Shi or other experts on his side, it was impossible to provide support.

So...

Is it going to end like this?

Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her with a wicked smile on his lips, Li Wutong had a feeling in a trance.

This person should be the Second Rank expert who injured his father last time...

It seems that she will not be able to walk off the city wall alive today.

A miserable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and Li Wutong slowly stopped, as if resigned to her fate.

"Bang!!"

"Shua!"

"Swoosh!! Swoosh swoosh!!"

Various sharp moves whistled past her, cutting off a piece of her skirt.

Li Wutong looked down at the piece of red cloth swirling and falling to the ground, and suddenly thought of a man in her mind.

Her body trembled, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.

Young Master Wei, don't miss me...

Her long eyelashes trembled, and then drooped down little by little.

But her body, which was originally bent over due to pain, straightened up little by little.

She closed her eyes because Li Wutong didn't want to see more Great Feng soldiers die for her.

She straightened her body because she was the princess of Great Feng.

"."

On the high and distant sky, the stars twinkled brightly. In an instant, tens of millions of stars poured into her closing vision, and the crystal-clear brilliance grew infinitely, creating an illusion of floating in the sea of stars.

Just before her eyelids were about to close, Li Wutong suddenly felt that the starry sky today was so beautiful, so brilliantly unreal.

And when the man opposite her suddenly changed his face drastically and jumped into the air in panic;

When the stars in the sky crashed down on the Da Ning army formation; when a sword aura several feet long slashed straight at the Second Rank realm expert who was fighting with Zhu Tianhong; when countless black chains as thick as wrists shot out towards dozens of Da Ning experts around...

Li Wutong realized that all of this was not an illusion.

"Who is it!!!"

"Second Rank!"

"This is also Second Rank!!"

"H-how is it possible!!"

"Retreat!!!"

"Retreat quickly!!!!!"

"."

From the brink of life and death to a reversal in a desperate situation.

When nearly a hundred Da Ning experts trembled and shouted one sentence after another in the most horrified tone, and then left the battlefield without looking back, shooting away into the distance, Li Wutong stared blankly at the seven people who suddenly appeared from nowhere.

Not only her, but almost everyone was stunned at this moment.

Because although these seven people had only made one move just now, it could be seen from this one move—

These are seven Second Ranks.

What seven Second Ranks meant, probably no one dared to imagine.

After all, on the previous Fengyuan battlefield, the Second Rank experts on both sides of Great Feng and Da Ning combined were less than seven in total...

And now, these experts of unknown origin seem to be here to help the princess?!

"You, everyone..."

In the midst of surprise and joy, Zhu Tianhong, who was also a Second Rank, was the first to recover.

He didn't even have time to check his injuries, but tremblingly took a step forward and stood opposite the seven people, asking in a somewhat humble and apprehensive tone:

"I, I don't know why you are here? And why did you save the princess?"

"."

As a Second Rank realm, Zhu Tianhong should not be so timid.

This may be because there are seven people on the other side, and the lineup is too luxurious.

It may also be because he finally saw the hope of Great Feng turning the tables on these seven people.

In short, no matter what, Zhu Tianhong has shown enough respect.

And these seven people on the opposite side did not seem to be arrogant people. Soon, one of them took a step forward and replied with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist, we are here on the orders of Young Master Wei."

"Young Master Wei?"

Including Li Wutong, everyone's eyes widened and their breathing became rapid for a moment, but they seemed unable to feel their heartbeat.

Then, in this state of near-trance, they heard the name that was both expected and unexpected.

"Yes."

"Wei Changtian, Young Master Wei."
