Mainland Martial Arts

"Ah..." Xu Tian screamed in pain.

His body was burned by the flames, and his face was full of pain. Lin Feng was shocked and quickly put out the flames and hurriedly checked Xu Tian's injuries.

"Xu Tian, ​​how are you?" Lin Feng asked anxiously.

Xu Tian gritted his teeth, enduring the pain: "I'm fine... Quickly find a place to hide..."

Lin Feng looked at Xu Tian, ​​feeling touched and admired. He knew that Xu Tian was injured to protect him.

Lin Feng and Xu Tian supported each other as they searched for other survivors on the battlefield. They carefully avoided the enemy's attacks and tried not to make any noise.

"Look, there's someone over there!" Xu Tian suddenly said, pointing to the front.

Lin Feng looked in the direction of Xu Tian's finger and saw a figure lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

They rushed over and found that it was Captain Zhong Qi. Zhong Qi also had many wounds on his body, but he was still alive.

"Captain Zhong!" Lin Feng shouted, "Wake up!"

Zhong Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Feng and Xu Tian. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You are still alive..."

Lin Feng briefly explained the situation and then said, "Captain Zhong, quickly order the soldiers to retreat. The enemy has used weapons of mass destruction."

Zhong Qi was bewildered. He had never seen a catapult before, and thought it was just a display. "You're spreading rumors to confuse the people! Are you trying to deceive the army or are you trying to desert? If you want to desert, I'll kill you right now!"

Lin Feng was speechless for a moment, but he still patiently explained: "Captain Zhong, this is really dangerous. Listen to me and give the order quickly!"

Zhong Qi refused to listen. He stood up, pointed at Lin Feng's nose and cursed, "You traitor! I've disliked you for a long time! Today I'm going to kill you to restore order to the army!"

After saying that, he raised the knife in his hand and slashed towards Lin Feng.

Seeing this, Xu Tian protected Lin Feng behind him without hesitation. Although he was also injured, he did not flinch.

"Xu Tian..." Lin Feng looked at Xu Tian with emotion.

Xu Tian looked at Lin Feng and smiled slightly: "Don't forget, we are brothers..."

Just as Zhong Qi's knife was about to chop down, a pot with fire fell down not far behind Lin Feng.

After the can was smashed, the liquid inside quickly splashed out with fire, and suddenly more than a dozen soldiers were engulfed in flames.

After seeing this, Zhong Qi put down the hanging knife and turned around to see that dozens of fires had already started, and these fires began to spread around along the corpses on the ground.

Zhong Qi's face changed drastically, "Not good, everyone retreat quickly!"

He no longer paid attention to Lin Feng and Xu Tian, ​​but turned and ran towards the other soldiers, shouting as he ran: "Retreat! Everyone retreat!"

Lin Feng and Xu Tian also hurried to catch up. They shuttled across the battlefield, looking for other survivors.

Zhong Qi found General Li Hua, and under his leadership, the soldiers began to retreat in an orderly manner. While resisting the enemy's attacks, they retreated towards the city.

Lin Feng and Xu Tian also followed Zhong Qi and ran towards the city. Behind them was a sea of ​​fire that enveloped the entire battlefield.

When they finally retreated to the city, there were fewer than 10,000 of them. One hundred thousand men went out to fight, but fewer than 10,000 returned, and the battle ended in defeat.

The remaining soldiers were able to treat their wounds, but Xu Tian couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.

Lin Feng quickly stopped the bleeding for him and then carried him into the tent.

"Xu Tian...you must hold on..." Lin Feng looked at Xu Tian's pale face, his heart full of worry.

Xu Tian opened his eyes slightly, looked at Lin Feng, and said weakly: "I'm fine... Don't worry..."

Lin Feng held Xu Tian's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "It's all my fault... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't..."

"Don't say that..." Xu Tian forced a smile, "We are brothers... This is what I should do..."

Lin Feng nodded and secretly vowed in his heart that he must take good care of Xu Tian and help him recover soon.

In this war, Lin Feng and Xu Tian experienced the test of life and death, which also gave them a deeper understanding of war.

Five days had passed since the war. On this day, the sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, casting a shadow on the slightly dilapidated streets.

Lin Feng, an ordinary soldier with a stern face and a resolute gaze, was guarding Xu Tian's bedside. Xu Tian's face was as pale as paper. He had lost too much blood in the battle, and even though five days had passed, his body was still extremely weak. Lin Feng himself was also covered in bandages. While his wounds were not too serious, they were numerous and had not healed even after five days.

"Lin Feng, someone asked you to go to the City Lord's Mansion Council." A soldier hurried over to convey the order.

"I'll go right away." Lin Feng stood up, but Xu Tian wanted to follow him stubbornly.

"Don't go, have a good rest." Lin Feng advised with a frown.

"No, I want to go. I can do it." Xu Tian said stubbornly, with a stubborn look in his eyes.

Lin Feng had no choice but to support Xu Tian as they headed to the City Lord's Mansion. When they entered the council chamber, Lin Feng was stunned. General Li Hua sat on the left, and directly above him sat six prominent figures. The aura of those six was so powerful and imposing that it suffocated Lin Feng.

Xu Tian reacted quickly, kneeling down hastily, and said in a fearful voice, "Greetings to the six great marshals!"

When Lin Feng heard this, his mind buzzed, and he was stunned. His pupils dilated instantly. Six great marshals, that's the highest fighting force in the entire frontier! He quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

The Grand Marshal sat at the top. He was tall and imposing, his black battle robe fluttering in the wind. His face was as cold as a knife, and his eyes were full of majesty and wisdom. He looked at Lin Feng and Xu Tian quietly without saying a word.

The other five deputy marshals sat on both sides. Some of them had serious faces, some had deep eyes, and each of them exuded a powerful aura.

Lin Feng felt uneasy, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He secretly looked up at the six marshals, secretly guessing their purpose in gathering everyone.

Xu Tianze lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, his heart filled with awe.

At the bottom of the conference room, eleven generals sat in two rows, all of them with solemn expressions, and behind them stood two or three captains. Some of these generals had bright eyes, while others had frowns on their faces, as if they were all contemplating the war situation.

The atmosphere in the spacious and solemn conference hall was so heavy it seemed as if water could drip out of it. Everyone's eyes fell on the two people kneeling on the ground, because the marshal had not yet spoken.

The marshal finally spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Stand up." Everyone then stood up, feeling relieved. The marshal glanced at the crowd and asked, "Who is Lin Feng?"
