In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

The major powers within Chang'an City were all horrified.

Startled awake, it immediately flew to the highest point nearby and looked towards the source of the sound.

"There... in the West City?"

"Could there be some battle taking place outside the west side of the city?"

This is because the entire city of Chang'an is under a flight restriction.

These people cannot see outside the city walls.

All we can do is wait and see, judging the situation outside by the sounds we hear!

And at this time.

Inside the palace, Zhou Linglong had been restless and hadn't slept for several days!

The loud roar also caught her attention!

"Hmm? The West City Camp?"

Zhou Linglong's expression changed drastically, and she was about to go and check.

At this time.

Xiao Shan, however, beat her to it and came directly to her door!

"Your Majesty! It's not good!"

At this moment, Xiao Shan disregarded the issue of overstepping the bounds between ruler and subject and forcefully pushed open Zhou Linglong's door.

"Your Majesty, the Western Camp is under attack by a large cavalry force!"

"If I'm not mistaken... it should be Lu Yuan who has arrived!"

Xiao Shan gasped for breath, his face extremely grave.

In the past, he would have gone straight out of the city to meet the enemy.

But how could he dare to do that now?

For a mere half-saint to go there would be suicide.

Didn't Linglong say earlier this week that she had a solution?

then.

Xiao Shan then went directly to find Zhou Linglong!

Not long after Xiao Shan arrived, the other two princes and the military officers also arrived one after another!

at this time.

They all knew that Lu Yuan's army was at the western camp of the city!

But they thought the same thing as Xiao Shan.

They all hid in the back, and no one dared to fight!

"Your Majesty... what should we do now?"

Everyone looked somewhat panicked and immediately threw the question at Zhou Linglong!

Seeing everyone shifting blame to each other, Zhou Linglong was furious!

These are all seasoned generals who have led troops for many years, yet now that a battle has broken out, they ignore the battlefield and come directly to my side.

Then he asked himself, "What should I do?"

If you were the leader...

How can you be satisfied with such incompetent subordinates?

Zhou Linglong could no longer hold back and roared angrily at the group:

"What should we do? What should we do? You're all generals, and you're asking me what to do?"

"Lu Yuan is attacking, why aren't you leading your soldiers to resist?"

"Do you really expect me, the Empress, to personally lead the troops to the front lines?!"

Zhou Linglong showed no respect to these people and immediately began to reprimand them harshly.

After the Empress's outburst, everyone present exchanged glances.

A hint of shame and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

As generals, were they born weak?

But knowing it's suicide, and still going anyway, I doubt there's anyone in the world that stupid!

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to lead the troops in rebellion, but we have no other choice!"

"With our meager strength, even if we went, we wouldn't be of much use..."

Everyone complained helplessly to Zhou Linglong.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linglong's cold gaze swept across the crowd:

"I don't care how you explain yourself now, you all, get to the West Camp right now!"

"If we delay even a minute longer, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhou Linglong suppressed her last bit of anger.

......

however.

Upon hearing Zhou Linglong's instructions, the group looked at each other, none of them making a move!

nonsense!

Who would willingly do something that leads to death?

"good very good!"

Seeing that no one was moved, Zhou Linglong laughed in anger!

In her rage, Zhou Linglong suddenly unleashed a dazzling aura!

An intense aura of imperial majesty emanated from her!

"His Majesty...."

As an overwhelming aura of majesty swept over them, the expressions of everyone around them changed drastically.

Especially Zhou Linglong's recent trip to Xiaoshan.

Even though he was clearly a half-saint, he felt a chilling aura emanating from Zhou Linglong!

"How could Her Majesty... suddenly become so terrifying?"

Xiao Shan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, as if he was under tremendous pressure!
