My sister is Luna
Chapter 36 The calm before the storm
Ever since Su Lie announced to everyone that the battle was about to begin, every soldier had been quietly preparing, eagerly awaiting this great battle.
A heavy and serious atmosphere began to permeate the air, and everyone was preparing for battle.
The intense mental strain began to wear them down, making the wait undoubtedly long and agonizing.
Such peaceful days are rare, but they know this is only the calm before the storm, and the slightest carelessness could cost them their lives.
"General, you said this will be a difficult battle. Shouldn't we call for reinforcements from Chang'an to reduce casualties?" Cain said solemnly, looking at the setting sun on the horizon.
“I’ve already sent a message, but don’t get your hopes up too high. With war imminent, it will take at least a month for the reinforcements to prepare and arrive at the Great Wall. The demons are used to quick and decisive attacks, and by the time they arrive, the war may already be over,” Su Lie said from the side.
"Then let's rely on ourselves." Cain twisted his neck, which felt a little sore, as if he hadn't slept well.
……
In the bustling city of Chang'an, inside a magnificent palace, there were only three people.
"Mr. Ming, what did you see?"
A woman dressed in a magnificent white dress with gold trim sat on the throne, looking down at the white-robed sorcerer kneeling on the ground below. Her imposing aura, even without anger, exuded the demeanor of a queen.
"Your Majesty, the Great Wall Guards will face the greatest difficulty in their history. A powerful being at the King level will appear there..." The elegant and alluring white-robed sorcerer opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
Below, another handsome young man with sharp eyes suddenly narrowed his pupils. He had short black hair combed back, and upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of blue-green in the front of his hair.
"Your Majesty, I request that 100,000 troops be dispatched to support the Great Wall!" The young man with short black hair stepped forward, interrupting the white-robed sorcerer, and bowed as he spoke.
The young man was well aware of just how terrifying the beings in the King Realm were. Each one was a super strong person in the world, extremely difficult to deal with. One person could form an army, which was no joke. The Great Wall was not only the wall of the Tang Empire, but also its facade, and it absolutely could not be lost...
"But they will ultimately prevail," the white-robed sorcerer finished his sentence.
Moreover, this annoying and suspicious fellow was different from before. He didn't explain in detail what he had predicted and seen, but only gave a general description of the beginning and the end. He omitted the whole process. The young man said that to ensure the safety of the empire, he had to send troops to the Great Wall to defeat, no, to eliminate, the existence of that king and prevent future troubles.
He felt more at ease taking concrete actions than believing in vague divination and prophecy.
The Queen, seated above, was much calmer. She was expressionless, seemingly deep in thought, but no one noticed the numerous cracks in the armrests of her throne.
She was naturally surprised and troubled by the existence of someone equal to her. Sending troops to support such a troublesome being would only lead to more casualties. She also had to guard Chang'an to prevent any underhanded people from causing trouble. However, since the white-robed sorcerer, whose prophecies always came true, said that she would win, she didn't need to worry too much. It would be a good opportunity to weaken the Great Wall Guards, and then she could send troops to strengthen Chang'an's control over the border.
A large part of the Great Wall Guards are composed of recruits from the border regions. These people come from different places, and their hearts are hard to fathom. She has not been able to infiltrate them deeply enough, so she needs the divination of the white-robed sorcerer to know their movements.
In fact, the fact that the Great Wall Guards possessed the strength to defeat beings at the King Realm was what truly made her wary. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. She would rather face the Dark Tyrant herself than allow a "King-Slaying Weapon" that she could not absolutely control to exist.
"I understand, Minister Di, there is no need to worry. The Great Wall Guard has recruited talents from all over the country and has many outstanding individuals. They will surely overcome the difficulties. Besides, it will take more than ten days for the army to reach the Great Wall. They may have already missed the battle." The Queen's majestic voice came out.
"Your Majesty, the border war is of paramount importance. I urge you to reconsider. If the prophecy is wrong, the Tang Dynasty will lose face and even suffer a severe blow!" The young man bowed again and said solemnly.
"Please believe me, Your Majesty. I guarantee with my life that the prophecy will never be wrong," the white-robed sorcerer said.
"Is your life worth the lives of thousands upon thousands?!" The young man clenched his fists, looked at the white-robed sorcerer, and said sternly.
"Of course, my only source of pride is my unerring divination skills; in my eyes, the word 'error' is meaningless," the white-robed sorcerer said calmly to the young man.
"you……"
"Enough, stop this pointless argument." The queen's majestic voice interrupted the young man's words, and her regal aura silenced the hall instantly.
"Minister Di, I know what you're thinking, but we've both experienced Master Ming's divine predictions, and we can't help but believe them. So I believe in the future that Master Ming speaks of."
"Your Majesty!!" the young man exclaimed, still hoping to make another attempt.
"Di Qing, further words are useless. You may leave." The Queen waved her long sleeves, rose and walked out of the hall, surrounded by many maids as she departed.
"You ill-intentioned scoundrel!" After the Queen left, the young man angrily grabbed the white-robed sorcerer's collar and roared.
“Lord Di, you’re mistaken. I’m just thinking what His Majesty thinks and worrying about what His Majesty worries. I hope you won’t wrong me.” The white-robed sorcerer wasn’t angry. He smiled and looked directly at the young man with sincere eyes.
"Humph!"
The young man released the white-robed sorcerer, gave him a deep look, and strode away from the palace.
For a moment, only the smiling white-robed sorcerer remained in the entire hall.
……
A small town in the desert of the clouds.
Dressed in black, Lanling Wang was sitting in a small house, resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the door was opened by another man in black robes. He walked in and sat opposite Lanling Wang.
"It's been a long time, my child." The man in black robes said as he removed his hood, revealing himself to be the King of Golden Court, who had transformed into a demon.
Zheng!
Lanling Wang suddenly drew his dagger and pointed it at King Jinting. His cold voice rang out: "I am not your child. Watch your words. He is already dead. You are just a monster who has taken over his body."
"It's really heartbreaking. I watched you grow up..." King Jinting smiled maliciously, but was interrupted by King Lanling.
"Speak your mind, or shut up. What did you call me here for?" Lanling King said coldly to King Jinting.
"We are about to launch a major offensive against the Great Wall. This time we will definitely break through it. Do you want to cooperate? Our goals are the same." King Jinting said casually, seemingly unconcerned.
"If you're sure you'll break through, why bother calling me?"
"It's always good to have more people, especially since you're this body's son. What's wrong with repaying the kindness he showed me by giving me a physical body?"
"Hmph, you demons actually know how to repay kindness?" Lanling King said disdainfully.
"Even demons need to learn and be educated; otherwise, how could they survive in the mortal world, or become elegant and powerful beings?"
"So, do you want to join us and conquer the Great Wall together? Your long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled." King Jinting softened his voice, his red eyes staring directly at Prince Lanling.
Lanling Wang fell silent, his eyes filled with hesitation, his heart wavering. Before him lay the abyss of fallen demons, yet the Great Wall had been breached. Beside him lay a difficult and rugged thorny path, and the hope of breaching the Great Wall seemed slim. What was his purpose in breaching and seizing the Great Wall?
A magnetic, cold voice came from behind the mask: "I..."
