He begins by being granted the title of King of Qin and builds the supreme immortal court of the Gre

In the barren hills and valleys.

When the barbarian army of the wilderness surrounded the valley, Prince Xiao Fu of Jin ordered his troops to occupy the important pass of the valley.

To ensure safety, he deployed all the superior weapons in his army, such as thunderbolts and fine bows, in the safe zone.

These are all beings that can pose a great threat to experts at the Spirit Transformation Realm level.

Deep in the valley.

"Your Highness, before I came to the desolate hill valley, I had already dispatched more than a dozen elite scouts to return to the capital under cover of night to report the news."

"However, these barbarians of the wilderness must have laid ambushes everywhere, I'm afraid..."

"Let's hold the valley first."

Prince Xiao Fu of Jin said something indifferently.

At this point, they were trapped in the wilderness, which was quite a distance from the border city of the imperial dynasty.

Even if the imperial court sends a powerful army to reinforce them, it remains to be seen whether their own army can hold out until the reinforcements arrive.

Xiao Fu looked around.

Countless soldiers had collapsed to the ground.

The rapid march after the great battle took a toll on the soldiers' energy, and many warhorses were worn out halfway through the journey.

Xiao Fu looked at a Spirit Transformation Realm general beside him: "Huang Xiu, how many troops do we have left?"

"Your Highness, there are still nearly 20,000 left."

Huang Xiu immediately reported back.

Xiao Fu's face was extremely cold and gloomy. Thinking of today's crushing defeat, the image of Marquis Liu Shu of Huaichang once again came to mind.

"Liu Shu!"

Xiao Fu muttered to himself.

The 50,000 elite cavalry that have arrived this time are the most elite troops under his command.

But now, it is because of the betrayal of a traitor that we have suffered such a great defeat.

Marquis Liu Shu of Huai had followed him for over a decade, during which time he was utterly loyal to him and to the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

The betrayal was something no one had expected.

All around.

The remaining military leaders also stood still.

Obviously.

The rebellion of the Marquis of Huai caused quite a stir in the army of the entire Southern Frontier of the Great Xia.

All the powerful figures were furious, but they were helpless.

"Your Highness, this humble general is willing to infiltrate the barbarian army and kill Liu Shu!"

"This humble general will go too!"

"That bastard is utterly despicable! He caused the deaths of tens of thousands of my brothers in the Southern Frontier!"

"If this beast is not killed, the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in my Southern Frontier Continent will never rest in peace!"

"Even if it means death, it's better to take this bastard's life!"

After a brief pause, all the powerful figures present spoke in unison.

These words alone are enough to reveal the anger in the hearts of the powerful figures of the Southern Frontier Continent.

"enough!"

Xiao Fu immediately waved his hand, glanced at the powerful figures around him, and then said, "I know how you feel. I will not forgive Liu Shu."

"The most urgent task is to hold the valley and buy as much time as possible."

They could not find more than 20,000 men left, and the army's elite troops had also suffered more than half their losses.

In the wake of the great battle, exhaustion and hunger had spread throughout the army.

Even powerful martial artists can hold out for a while longer, but what about ordinary soldiers?

......

Day two.

The Great Xia Dynasty.

Imperial City.

A powerful cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm headed straight for the palace.

When news reached the court that Prince Xiao Fu of Jin had been betrayed and trapped by barbarians deep in the wilderness, the entire court was instantly shaken.

"What a traitor! He has been lurking within the borders of my Great Xia Dynasty for so long!"

"This Marquis of Huai is utterly unforgivable!"

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang's face was extremely cold and grim: "Quickly mobilize a large army from the cities of the southern border and head to the wasteland for rescue as soon as possible!"

Upon receiving this news, Emperor Xiao Tianhuang of Xia made a decisive deployment and mobilized countless powerful figures from all directions to provide support.

"Your Majesty, although our Great Xia possesses a powerful army, His Highness Prince Jin has already ventured deep into the heart of the barbarian wilderness. I'm afraid..."

"In my humble opinion, besides rescuing the Prince of Jin's troops, we also need to hurry up and dispatch strong armies from other continents to defend the cities in the southern border."

"I second the proposal!"

"The general seconded the proposal!"

Ministers and generals in the imperial court spoke one after another.

Although they knew that Prince Xiao Fu of Jin was in an extremely dangerous situation, there was simply no other way at this point.

At this moment, Crown Prince Xiao Yuan immediately knelt on one knee: "I humbly request Your Majesty to allow me to go to the southern border to oversee the situation and ensure peace..."

"Nonsense!"

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang looked at Xiao Yuan and, before the other could finish speaking, reprimanded him, "This matter is not for a mere crown prince of a dynasty to handle!"

At this critical juncture, the southern border must be extremely dangerous.

The rebellion of Liu Shu, the Marquis of Huai, coupled with the sudden joint invasion of the various barbarian tribes in the wilderness of the Great Xia's southern frontier, has brought about a new wave of conflict.

This is certainly not a simple matter. If the crown prince of the imperial dynasty were to suffer any mishap while in the Southern Frontier Continent, it would be a heavy blow to the Great Xia Dynasty.

"As per my previous instructions, gather the forces of the nearby imperial cities in the southern border and rush to the aid of Prince Jin's troops as soon as possible."

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang said with some helplessness, "I hope they can hold out until reinforcements arrive."

They knew that the Prince of Jin's troops were in danger, but there was absolutely nothing they could do.

Whether rescue can arrive at this moment, and whether they can hold on until rescue arrives, is all up to fate.

"Report!"

Just at this time.

Another military report arrived.

"Marquis Jing sent an urgent report from the Western Frontier."

"Just last night, the border armies of the Great Sulfur Dynasty and the Great Yan Dynasty, which are located near the Western Frontier of my Great Xia, made some unusual movements, and it seems that they are approaching the Western Frontier of my Great Xia."

Are there also unusual movements in the Western Xinjiang region?

"The Great Sulfur Dynasty! The Great Yan Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this news, another commotion arose in the Great Xia court.

Wilderness barbarians!

The Great Sulfur Dynasty!

The Great Yan Dynasty!

These major forces were peaceful and well-behaved at first, but in a short period of time, they have successively launched attacks against his Great Xia Dynasty.

Even an idiot would know something's wrong.

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang remained silent, and could only order: "Let Marquis Jing lead the army to guard the Western Continent and guard against the two great dynasties of Liu and Yan."

"Report!"

This is truly one wave after another.

Just as the message from Marquis Jing arrived, another intelligence report came in.

First it was Southern Xinjiang, then Western Xinjiang, will it be Northern Xinjiang or Eastern Xinjiang next?

Judging from this situation, it really is a possibility.

A Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) dressed in a flying fish robe strode into the main hall of the imperial court.

The arrival of the strangely dressed person seemed unfamiliar and intriguing to the numerous civil and military officials in the imperial court.

This outfit...

"Fifth Brother's men?"

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang and Crown Prince Xiao Yuan both looked at the newcomer.

The other civil and military officials of the dynasty were unaware of this, but these two were very clear about it.

King Xiao Ling of Qin has a formidable intelligence agency under his command, and many of its members are dressed in this manner.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Guard presented a letter.

Emperor Xiao Tianhuang waved his hand and immediately took the letter in his grasp.

Looking at the contents, the furrowed brows instantly disappeared.
