Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

The soldiers ran towards the rear crying for their fathers and mothers. No matter how ruthless the supervising team was, they could not stop the decline of the imperial army. In an instant, they were trampled into a pulp by the collapsed group of defeated soldiers.

Fortunately, the two wings of the Forbidden Army arrived in time, and the rear army also acted quickly. With the support of hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army from three directions, they finally managed to stabilize the battle situation.

Facing the regrouped imperial army, Jiang Chengdao slightly clenched the black spear in his hand.

At this time, his whole body was stained with blood, and the black heavy armor on his body was constantly leaking dark red blood. The originally dark mane of the Jueying BMW sitting down had also turned blood red, and even the breath he exhaled when he snorted was filled with blood. A flash of bright red.

He no longer remembers how many imperial soldiers died in his own hands.

The tip of the spear was dripping with blood, and it was stained with minced meat of different colors.

Behind them, tens of thousands of Xuanwu Guards were treading on a path of blood made of the flesh and blood of thousands of Forbidden Soldiers, while in front of them were countless Forbidden Army soldiers that were slowly pressing down like dark clouds.

However, even so, there was no trace of fear on Jiang Chengdao's face under his mask.

Although there are many enemies, they can be killed with one strike!

Under the shadow of his extremely powerful back, although the Xuanwu Guards looked slightly tired, they did not waver at all and still followed Jiang Chengdao's footsteps firmly.

The strongest army in the northern border of Central Continent is nothing more than this!

Jiang Chengdao slowly raised the spear in his hand, preparing to boost his morale and charge again.

But just when he was about to speak, Jiang Chengwan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Brother Imperial, the enemy army is huge. Let's go back to the city to rest. I'm almost at my limit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengdao immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order!"

Xuanwu Guard suddenly looked stern, waiting for Jiang Chengdao's order.

"Turn the horse's head around and return to the city!"

"promise!"

Almost instinctively, the Xuanwu Guards immediately turned around, showing extremely high obedience.

Although they didn't understand why the Holy King ordered to return to the city when he was so powerful. Although there were many enemy troops, even they couldn't kill them all. They could also bite off a piece of flesh so hard that it would hurt their muscles and bones. .

And in their understanding, with the power of the Holy King, even if they use up their last bit of strength, the Holy King can use the supreme holy power to take them away from the battlefield.

But no matter how hard they figure it out, they will execute Xuanwu Guard's orders meticulously.

This is obedience engraved in their bones.

Xuanwu Guard turned around and rushed towards the city gate quickly, but Jiang Chengdao still held his spear tightly and stood proudly on the spot.

It is still necessary after the break.

However, it is enough for him to defeat the enemy alone!

When the soldiers of the Forbidden Army saw the Xuanwu Guards retreating, there was no joy in their eyes. Even if Jiang Chengdao was the only one left behind, they did not dare to rush forward to pursue the front army after witnessing the tragic situation of the front army. Instead, they marched steadily. No one wanted to Serve as cannon fodder to consume the Holy King's physical strength.

Looking at the Imperial Army marching towards this side step by step, Jiang Chengdao's eyes were high and contemptuous.

"The majestic First Army of Great Xia, the tiger and wolf army that once killed everyone in the hands of our ancestors, has now fallen into such a situation. It is really sad."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chengdao tightened his grip on the horse's belly after the Xuanwu Guards retreated to a safe place.

hiss! !

The Jueying horse neighed, galloped with iron hooves, and led Jiang Chengdao away from the battlefield quickly.

And his peaceful departure also announced that the first confrontation between the Cangming Army and the Forbidden Army ended with the Cangming Army's crushing victory.

Under the east city wall, tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers closed their eyes forever.

After this battle, most of the front troops of the Forbidden Army were killed or injured, and the surviving soldiers were frightened to death. Even with the blessing of the Martial God Formation, it was difficult to form a fighting force.

Not only that, after seeing the unstoppable and terrifying combat power of Xuanwu Guards and Jiang Chengdao, other Forbidden Forces were also cast a deep shadow deep in their hearts.

Is this an army that any human being can contend with?

The morale of the Forbidden Army was greatly affected. If it were not for the strong prestige accumulated by Queen Mother Zhao and Xia Houyan over the years, the morale of the entire Forbidden Army might even be turbulent to the point where it is difficult to control.

Even though the morale of the army has not faded, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops have gradually begun to lose their morale.

The deterrence brought by the Holy King is too terrifying, especially after witnessing the Holy King wreaking havoc on the battlefield, this psychological shadow cannot be easily overcome.

At night, the gates of the capital were closed, and the imperial troops camped more than 30 miles away from the city gates.

Empress Dowager Zhao sent most of her masters to guard the surrounding areas, and Xia Houyan also arranged for tens of thousands of elites to take turns on duty, closely monitoring any disturbance in the surroundings. At the same time, she ordered the soldiers to stay awake at night and be ready to meet the enemy at any time, for fear that Jiang Chengdao would launch an attack in the dark.

The huge imperial army was extremely afraid of the mere [-] Xuanwu guards commanded by the Holy King.

The power of the Holy King can be seen from this.

However, what they didn't know was that Jiang Chengdao couldn't attack at night at all now.

It wasn't that he had exhausted too much physical energy today and needed to rest, or that Xuanwu Guard was too exhausted, but because Empress Jiang Chengwan needed time to recover her Holy Spirit power to support the power of the holy relic.

At this time, in Ziji City.

Jiang Chengwan and Jiang Chengdao, who looked tired, sat opposite each other.

Jiang Chengwan rubbed his swollen temples and said softly: "Brother Emperor, where have the 20 Cangming troops gone now?"

Jiang Chengdao sat upright and did not do anything inappropriate based on his brother's identity and position as the Holy King.

"I received news a few days ago that the army has arrived in the Yunlan Mountain area. It is expected to arrive in the Luojing area tomorrow, helping His Majesty to completely control the world in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and the tense expression on his face quietly relaxed a little.

"in this way……"

She pondered for a moment, and a gleam suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Let's start the next phase of the plan."

"promise!"

The next day, the meeting was canceled again.

Jiang Chengdao, along with a few courtiers such as Li Zheng and Xie Hongyun, took advantage of the first ray of light in the morning and led [-] Xuanwu Guards out of the gate of Luojing East City. They moved forward at high speed in the warm morning sun towards the place where the Forbidden Army was stationed. Speeding away in the direction.

Chapter 19 The place of righteousness

For the Cangming Army, which has been fighting to the death against evil spirits all year round, the Forbidden Army, which had been frightened by the Holy King and Xuanwu Guards for a long time, was almost as vulnerable as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Therefore, the moment the 20 Cangming Army marched day and night into Luojing's jurisdiction, the Forbidden Army's defeat was doomed.

"On December 80, the sixth year of Shenghe, the Demon Queen Zhao and the traitor Xia Houyan coerced [-] rebels to storm the capital. They were defeated by the Xuanwu Guards and the army retreated thirty miles.

At midnight the next day, Saint King Cangming personally led [-] Xuanwu Guards to attack and fought fiercely with the rebels twenty miles away from the east city. Weary and exhausted, he gradually became exhausted and was surrounded.

At the end of the war, 20 Cangming troops suddenly arrived and attacked the rear of the rebels. The rebels were defeated. The Demon Queen Zhao, the traitor Xia Houyan, the puppet king Jiang Chengyun and some rebel leaders escaped with the remaining troops. The Holy King Lead the army to chase it away..."

Looking at the content in the newspaper, Lu Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Steady!

Originally, the Holy King of Cangming was able to control Luojing with only 80 Xuanwu Guards and severely damaged 20 forbidden troops. Now that the main force of [-] Cangming troops has arrived in the capital, the Queen Mother has no chance of making a comeback.

This world will eventually fall into the hands of Saint King Cangming.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the first ambitious Holy King in the history of Central Continent. In just five days, Holy King Cangming completely changed the ownership of Luo Jing, the center of the world. Whether it was personal strength, strategy, or skill, he was beyond compare. Unimaginably powerful.

The Queen Mother was so unlucky that such a perfect pentagonal warrior suddenly appeared while she was in power.

Moreover, the extremely powerful Holy King has had its own prestige since ancient times, and is not inferior to the royal family. As long as the Holy King can use the power of the holy relics outside the Holy Realm, it will definitely be much easier than other forces to conquer the world.

"Now the Holy King of Cangming is chasing north. No matter whether he can capture the Queen Mother or not, when he returns to the court, his momentum will definitely reach its peak. By then, it will be no problem even if the Queen Mother is deposed on the spot."

After putting down the newspaper, Lu Chen squinted his eyes and started thinking.

"Based on my previous performance, Holy King Cangming will definitely not tolerate the existence of a die-hard emperor like me. He will definitely find an excuse to remove my official position and throw me into a prison, or even chop him into pieces with a knife, and remove all official positions at the same time, regardless of What’s going on, this officer... I’m sure he’ll be thrown into trouble!”

Thinking of this, Lu Chen became excited.

"cousin."

At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu's voice suddenly sounded outside:

"Are you in there?"

Lu Chen immediately put away his thoughts and sat up.

"exist."

Luo Xiaoyu pushed the door open and said softly: "Cousin, Mr. Xiao is here and is waiting in the living room. Do you want to see him?"

Xiao Yi?What is he here for?

Lu Chen still had a good impression of his former good friend.

It's not because of Xiao Yi's good background, but because of the sincere friendship between Xiao Yi and his predecessor.

When he was studying in the sect, Xiao Yi had taken great care of his predecessor. When his predecessor was admitted to the imperial examination high school and was awarded the engineering major, Xiao Yi had advised him that his predecessor's personality was not suitable for serving as a spokesperson for science and education in such a situation. , and are not even suitable to be an official in the capital. You might as well ask for a job on the grounds of "lack of experience".

It's a pity that the predecessor didn't listen.

Facts have proved that his judgment was correct. As soon as his predecessor took up the engineering department, he discovered that there were a lot of tricks in many imperial projects and immediately wrote to the emperor. As a result, nothing was found.

He angrily entered the palace to meet the saint, and then... nothing happened.

Therefore, when Lu Chen heard that it was Xiao Yi who came to look for him, although Lu Chen didn't know why he came to look for him at this time, he still stood up without thinking.

"You go and receive them, I'll be right over."

"Ok."

Luo Xiaoyu responded, got up and walked towards the living room.

Lu Chen took care of himself a little so as not to be too rude, and then left the room.

When he came to the living room, he saw Xiao Yi sitting on the chair under the main seat drinking tea.

After Lu Chen walked into the living room, he first said hello and greeted Xiao Yi politely, then sat on the main seat and asked straight to the point:

"If Brother Yu came here on a special trip, why?"

Xiao Yi put down the teacup with a solemn expression.

"Huaiyu, do you believe me?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Brother Ruoyu has always cared about me, so I naturally believe in brother Ruoyu."
