Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

The capital city, the Ancestral Dragon Palace, the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, just five minutes ago, the demon race assembled an army of tens of millions, divided into three forces, and simultaneously invaded our northwest, southwest, and southeast defense lines."

"Currently, the soldiers at the major passes are engaged in close combat with the demon army, and the outcome of the battle is still uncertain."

"Moreover, in just 10 hours, more than 50 signs of activities by the Divine Messenger Society have been discovered in our rear areas, and one-fifth of the cities in the country have fallen into turmoil."

"It is now quite clear that this is a joint operation between the Divine Envoys and the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan is attacking on the front lines, while the Divine Envoys are causing trouble in the rear to distract us."

Wei Lixian's expression was solemn as he quickly reported the battle situation one by one.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Great Xia gazed indifferently out the window:

"They are all human, yet they insist on colluding with a group of demons. I really can't understand it."

"Your Majesty, the demon army is coming in with great force this time. This old servant thinks it is time to call upon those Martial Venerable Realm experts."

The Great Xia Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly:

"Send Flame Venerable, Tiger Venerable, and Martial Venerable to reinforce the three major defense lines, while Sword Venerable and Medicine Venerable will remain stationed in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and hold their positions."

"Yes!"

Just then, a guard rushed in with a panicked expression and whispered something in Wei Lixian's ear.

Wei Lixian was greatly surprised upon hearing this and quickly said:

"Your Majesty, we have just received news that the six Zodiac Gods of the Divine Envoy Society have been mobilized simultaneously and have been carrying out massacres in the Northeast, causing over a million casualties."

Wei Lixian was extremely anxious. Six Zodiac Gods were equivalent to six Martial Emperors, while there were only three Martial Emperors in the Northeast, making it impossible to resist them.

If this is not stopped in time, hundreds of millions of people in Northeast China will likely suffer.

It seems the divine messenger has gone mad this time.

They mobilized their entire force, leaving themselves no way out!

However, just when Wei Lixian thought the Emperor would order the dispatch of generals to aid the Northeast, the Emperor of Great Xia simply stared out the window with a cold expression, without saying a word.

Wei Lixian was taken aback. He didn't know what His Majesty was hesitating about. After all, every second of delay would mean the deaths of at least tens of thousands of people.

Thinking of this, Wei Lixian mustered his courage and said:

"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent. This old servant thinks we should send the Sword Master or the Medicine Master to provide assistance?"

The Great Xia Emperor shook his head and rejected the idea without hesitation:

"Shanghai and Guangzhou-Shenzhen are core cities, and there can be absolutely no mistakes. These two cannot be touched."

The Great Xia Emperor asked indifferently, "Who is the overall person in charge of the Northeast War Zone?"

"Your Majesty, it is Lieutenant General Zhang Tianyang."

"Tell him to gather all his troops and retreat to the provincial capital to defend it to the death. I will send reinforcements to his aid in three days."

Upon hearing this, Wei Lixian was startled.

He instantly understood His Majesty's meaning: the plan was only to protect the provincial capital, while all other places would be sacrificed.

You have to understand, this represents the lives of hundreds of millions of people!

Wei Lixian could not bear the thought of millions of people losing their lives, so he mustered his courage and continued to suggest:

"Your Majesty, General Yang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch, is currently stationed at the Night Watch headquarters in the capital. Perhaps we can send him to provide reinforcements. After all, with Your Majesty in charge of the capital, there should be no problem even without General Yang."

The Great Xia Emperor did not reply, but turned his head and glanced down at Wei Lixian with an indifferent look in his eyes.

At just one glance, Wei Lixian was terrified and immediately knelt down:

"It was this old servant who offended you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Wei Lixian, you've been with me for decades, how could you still make such a basic mistake?"

"It was an oversight on my part, but I am absolutely loyal to Your Majesty and have no other intentions!" Wei Lixian's voice trembled to the extreme, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The Emperor disliked nothing more than others interfering with his orders; he had just committed a grave offense.

However, he was not unaware of this, but he couldn't bear to see hundreds of millions of people lose their lives, so he mustered up the courage to voice his opinion, hoping that His Majesty would change the decision.

But he forgot that no matter how long he had served His Majesty, even if he was His Majesty's confidant...

But he was always just a lackey.

When faced with their master's orders, servants cannot disobey, even if they have opinions.

The Great Xia Emperor looked expressionlessly at Wei Lixian, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Get up. If this happens again, you won't need to wear this official robe anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Lixian breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.

This time, he dared not have any dissatisfaction with His Majesty's order, and hurriedly turned around and left to carry it out.

……

Nancang City, city center.

The once bustling city center streets are now a scene of devastation, with flames soaring into the sky, smoke billowing everywhere, and the piercing sirens and pitiful cries echoing all around.

When Fang Wen and his group arrived at the scene, their faces darkened as they looked at the shopping mall that had been reduced to ruins.

Damn!

These rats from the Divine Messenger Society are so utterly lacking in martial ethics!

On the main street in the city center, a line of words was written in jet-black ash.

A bunch of idiots

Upon seeing these words, everyone's faces turned ashen, and their fists clenched tightly.

furious!

That's absolutely outrageous!

Qin Yu glanced at Liu Wei beside him.

This woman was with them when the explosion happened.

It seems he was overthinking things.

"Xiao Wei, let the spirit dog sniff it again," Xia Hai instructed.

Liu Wei nodded, then released the leash of the psychic dog, which instantly rushed towards the collapsed ruins ahead.

After a while, the spirit dog came running back, looked up at Liu Wei and barked a few times.

"Wow woof! woof woof!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei looked at the others with some disappointment:

"The psychic dog still couldn't smell anything."

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately disappointed.

But at that moment, Qin Yu suddenly rushed out and grabbed Liu Wei by the neck, startling everyone else.

"Qin Yu, what are you doing?!" Fang Wen was startled and shouted sternly.

Xia Hai and his group were also completely bewildered. What on earth had happened to this Lord Night Envoy?

Qin Yu stared intently at Liu Wei, his expression cold.

"She lied to us!"

"The psychic dog clearly smelled the other party's scent just now!"

"What!?"

Everyone was immediately startled, and Liu Wei's pupils shrank, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Qin Yu exerted force with his palm, gripping Liu Wei's neck tightly. The latter's face turned red, and she was on the verge of suffocation.

"who are you?"

Liu Wei looked terrified and said in a hoarse voice:

“Lord Night Watchman, you must have misunderstood. I did not lie to you.”

“Yes, yes.” Xia Hai quickly stepped forward: “I’ve watched Liu Wei grow up since she was a child. She comes from a respectable family. How could she possibly be a member of the Divine Envoy Society?”

"Lord Qin, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked down at the spirit dog, and slowly spoke:

"Woof woof?" (Dog, are you sure this is your owner?)

The others were stunned when Qin Yu suddenly started barking like a dog.

Could this Lord Night Watchman really speak dog language?

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, the spirit dog was first taken aback, then moved closer to Liu Wei, sniffed her carefully, and barked:

"Woof woof, woof woof woof!" (My owner is wearing too much perfume, I can't smell it.)

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu decisively reached out his hand to Xia Hai:

"Give me a knife!"

Although Xia Hai was somewhat confused, he still handed his sword to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu gripped the hilt of the knife and made a light slash at Liu Wei's thigh, causing crimson blood to flow instantly.

Upon smelling the blood, the psychic dog's expression instantly changed, and it barked and growled angrily at Liu Wei.

"Woof woof woof!" (You're not my owner!)
