Not long after, Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu returned to the Ninth Princess's Mansion.

Upon hearing the news, the principal husband Wen Yuanzhou, the concubines Liu Xiuhan and Gu Yuan rushed to the living room.

Jiang Lingyue explained to the three what she had heard from the palace, and told them that she and Fang Chengyu were ready to take orders to fight against the demons.

Hearing her decision, Liu Xiuhan frowned slightly, "Yue'er, the demons are cruel, I'm worried about you following them."

Gu Yuan looked worried, "My dear wife, this trip is dangerous, please think twice."

"What they said is absolutely right." Wen Yuanzhou stepped forward and advised, "Lingyue, you should stay in the Ninth Princess's Mansion, okay?"

Jiang Lingyue looked at the three men in front of her and her heart was filled with emotion.

But she shook her head: "I know this journey is dangerous, but I won't let A Yu take the risk alone.

Besides, this is my responsibility as a member of the royal family, and I shouldn't back down.

I have my own life-saving magic weapon, you don't have to worry, Ayu and I will be careful."

When Fang Chengyu heard this, a warm feeling passed through his heart.

He turned to look at her, his eyes firm as he said, "I will protect my sister, please rest assured."

At this time, a system prompt sounded.

[Fang Chengyu's favorability towards the host +5, current favorability 95. ]

Wen Yuanzhou and others wanted to persuade her further, but they knew Jiang Lingyue's character and would not change her mind once she made a decision.

In the end, they could only nod silently to show their support.

Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu began to prepare for the expedition, and the entire Ninth Princess's Mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Three days later, the army assembled. Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu said goodbye to everyone in the mansion and then joined the army.

This support force is very imposing and is composed of elite soldiers from the three armed forces and disciples from various sects.

Marshal Hou is in command, with Fang Chengyu as the vanguard.

Outside the city gate, the queen personally came out of the city to see everyone off, and the morale was greatly boosted for a while.

Amid the sound of passionate war drums, the army set out in a mighty force.

Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu rode side by side, leading the team to the border.

Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers and experienced many hardships and dangers.

The Tianfeng Kingdom faces the sea to the east and north, the Qingyang Kingdom of the human race to the west, the Baiyao Kingdom of the demon race to the south, and borders the demon race’s territory to the southeast.

When they arrived at the southeastern border, they found it in ruins.

There were desolate battlefields everywhere, people were displaced, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and death.

At this time, everyone vaguely heard the sound of two armies fighting in the distance.

Fang Chengyu said, "I just used my spiritual sense to investigate. On the other side of the mountain, General Hou is leading his army to fight the demons. The situation of our army is not optimistic."

Jiang Lingyue gazed into the distance, feeling a sense of mission in her heart.

She raised her spear high in her hand and shouted to the sky: "Soldiers, follow me to support General Hou and drive the demons out of the border!"

The soldiers responded to her call and shouted in unison, shaking the sky.

The battle horn sounded, and under the leadership of Fang Chengyu and Jiang Lingyue, the vanguard troops quickly rushed forward.

After climbing over the hill, they saw the army fighting against the demons. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and were being defeated.

Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu led the vanguard and charged into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from the mountain, engaging in a fierce battle with the demons.

The elites of the vanguard were agile and well-coordinated. They used various magic tricks to slaughter the enemies in the crowd.

When General Hou saw the reinforcements arriving, he was greatly encouraged and commanded his troops to launch a counterattack.

The two sides joined forces and gradually turned the tide of the battle.

However, the demons were clearly well prepared for this attack, and they kept sending reinforcements, making the battle increasingly stalemate.

At this moment, Fang Chengyu used his unique skill - Nine Yang True Fire, instantly burning a group of demons to ashes.

The army's morale was immediately boosted, and they took the opportunity to besiege the injured demons.

With everyone joining together, their power doubled. Gradually, the demons could no longer resist and began to retreat.

Seeing this, Fang Chengyu formed seals with his hands, and several talismans were shot out, with explosions breaking out among the fleeing demons. Then, he led some soldiers to pursue the victory.

Jiang Lingyue waved her spear and, together with the remaining reinforcements, assisted General Hou in clearing the battlefield.

After the demons retreated for dozens of miles, Fang Chengyu returned and reunited with them, and the war came to an end.

Hou Feiying stepped forward and bowed to express her gratitude, "If it weren't for the timely support of Her Highness the Ninth Princess and Elder Fang, our army would have been in great danger in this battle."

Jiang Lingyue quickly helped Hou Feiying up, "General Hou, you don't have to be polite. It is our duty to expel the demons. But the situation is still serious, so we need to take a long-term view."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to discuss the next strategy.

After some discussion, they decided to join Marshal Hou's army first.

Not long after, they met the army outside the city gate and several of them met Marshal Hou.

When Hou Feiying saw Marshal Hou in armor, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Marshal, I am incompetent and I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

Marshal Hou patted Hou Feiying on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to blame yourself. You did a great job. You played an indispensable role in defeating the demons this time."

Then, she looked at Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"Fortunately, the Ninth Princess and Elder Fang provided timely support, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

After the greetings, everyone began to discuss the next steps.

Marshal Hou said in a deep voice: "The demons will not give up. Our army must be fully prepared."

Jiang Lingyue frowned, "We should strengthen the city's defenses and send people to investigate the movements of the demons."

Fang Chengyu suggested, "We can organize an elite team to go deep into the demon territory to investigate and disrupt their deployment."

Marshal Hou thought for a moment and nodded, "This is a good idea, but we need to select some powerful monks to form a team."

As a result, everyone recommended masters from their own sects, and soon an elite team of ten people was selected.

Then, an elite team was sent deep into the heart of the demon clan to investigate the enemy situation, and the army set up camp and took a short rest.

At night, inside the city, the Lord of Mo City hosted a banquet to entertain the officers.

Hou Feiying's legal husband Liu Sifan also attended the banquet.

After asking, Jiang Lingyue learned that the rest of General Hou's family members stayed in Donghai City, and only Liu Sifan followed her to Mo City in the southeast to resist the demons.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone started chatting.

Jiang Lingyue noticed that Liu Sifan had been silent, so she took the initiative to talk to him.

"Master Liu, Xiu Han is very worried about you. How are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern. I'm doing well." Liu Sifan raised his head slightly, "I'm just a little worried about the future battle situation."

Jiang Lingyue knew in her heart that he was worried about his wife Hou Feiying, and was afraid that she would encounter an accident on the battlefield.

She comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. This time we work together and will be able to repel the demons as soon as possible."

After the banquet, Jiang Lingyue and Fang Chengyu returned to the tent together.

Fang Chengyu handed over a cup of hot tea and asked with concern: "Sister, are you tired today?"

Jiang Lingyue shook her head. "I'm not tired, but I feel very sad when I think of those innocent people."

Fang Chengyu gently held her hand and said, "Sister, don't be sad. We will definitely defeat the demons and let the people live a stable life."

Jiang Lingyue looked at him with a smile on her face, "Well, I believe you. By the way, I want to go see the wounded tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

Fang Chengyu nodded, "Okay, I'll go with my sister."
