"Your Majesty, the investigation has been completed. Qin Yu, Li Sisi, Gao Ping, and Fang Wen were all present during the battles at Tianan Pass and Zhaoyang City."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Great Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, and the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly froze.

Wei Lixian said, "Your Majesty, do you suspect that Yin Hu came from one of the four of them?"

"uncertain."

The Great Xia Emperor shook his head slightly: "But I always feel that Yin Hu has some kind of inexplicable relationship with the four of them."

"call--"

The Emperor of Great Xia tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a chilling glint flashing across his imposing, square face:

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I need to know every detail of the battle in Zhaoyang City!"

"Yes!"

Wei Lixian bowed slightly and nodded.

……

Meanwhile, in the southwest region...

Huang Longtian led an army of over 300,000 people across the plains of the southwest, heading towards Hande City in the north.

"General Huang, we will reach Hande City in another twenty kilometers."

Inside an armored personnel carrier, an adjutant looks at the vehicle's navigation system.

Huang Longtian asked, "What is the current situation in Hande City?"

The adjutant shook his head gravely.

"The situation is very bad. As of now, the garrison in Hande has suffered more than two-thirds casualties, and the entire city has almost fallen."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the car fell silent.

The garrison in Hande City numbered as many as 600,000. With more than two-thirds of them killed or wounded, this means that as many as 400,000 people died in battle, which in turn means that 400,000 families were torn apart.

Even Huang Longtian, a veteran of countless battles, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness upon hearing such a devastating number of casualties.

The demon army advancing towards Hande City far outnumbered and outgunned those attacking Zhaoyang City.

The fact that Hande City has held out until now without falling is already a testament to their efforts.

"Since we're almost there, all those at the Martial King level and above should immediately follow me to provide support."

Huang Longtian stood up and gestured to his men to open the carriage.

Previously, he had been sitting in the carriage to keep watch in order to prevent the army from being ambushed by monsters during the march.

But now that they were almost at their destination and there was no longer any demon ambush, he naturally had to hurry over to provide support.

After all, for the current situation in Hande City,

Time is money.

Every second counts, hundreds or thousands of soldiers lose their lives.

As soon as Huang Longtian finished speaking, all ten Martial Kings in the carriage stood up.

"Liu Dong, you are responsible for staying behind and directing the army's advance. You must cut off all the retreat routes of the demon army."

Huang Longtian looked at a man with a buzz cut behind him, who nodded and quickly took over command of the army.

Afterwards, Qin Yu and his group followed Huang Longtian and jumped off the train, flying towards Hande City, which was not far away.

"Gentlemen, I will go ahead first. You may fight freely after entering the city!"

Huang Longtian left behind a sentence, then his figure instantly accelerated and disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

At this moment, in Hande City,

It had turned into a scene of carnage and hell.

Everywhere was filled with the smoke and ruins of war, shouts of killing and wails of agony rose and fell, the streets were littered with the corpses of humans and demons, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the entire city.

"Captain, the brothers can't hold on much longer!"

"We have to hold on, even if we can't!" Lin Guotao roared.

He is the commander in charge of defending the old city. So far, he has been fighting the demon army for a day and a night. His soldiers have suffered countless casualties, and the entire defensive line is on the verge of collapse.

Lin Guotao requested support from headquarters, but the response he received was that all the major districts in the city were currently engaged in fierce fighting and had no time to spare to send troops to provide support; they could only rely on themselves.

As his troops dwindled, the opposing demon army surged in wave after wave, seemingly inexhaustible.
