In the frontier fortress

Heavy losses were inflicted on Dongling army in the previous battle.

The barracks were full of soldiers attacked by the witchcraft men.

The wounds of those who were scratched by the witchcraft men were already festered and black. And the wounds exuded a foul smell, which was very unpleasant.

General Cheng was also injured by the witchcraft men. Due to his serious injuries, he was lying unconsciously on the bed.

On the side, General Li couldn't help walking around in front of General Cheng's bed.

In all his years of fighting, he had never seen such an enemy. It would be better to describe them as monsters than humans.

The monsters that attacked them seemed to be controlled. They had great power and didn't feel the pain. The soldiers were not their opponents at all.

The army suffered heavy losses in this battle!

If the Emperor did not send reinforcements, it would be feared that the entire army would be wiped out.

It was not that he was afraid of the opponents' morale, but that they couldn't compete with those monsters at all.

Thinking of this, General Li couldn't help but frown. What should they do now? And this was not the worst circumstance.

At this moment, a soldier came to report.

"What's the matter?" General Li turned around, looked at the soldier and asked.

The soldier arched his hands and said, "General, the food is running out."

"What? How many days at most can it last out?" After hearing this, General Li felt tensed. The current issue was still unresolved, but their food was not enough. Only then did General Li realize what the internal and external troubles were, and then he looked at the soldier and asked.

The soldier arched his hands and replied, "Five days at most."

"Five days. Five days. You leave first!" General Li repeated what the soldier had said and then signaled him to retreat.

After the soldier left, General Li couldn't help but look like an ant on a hot pan.

He had already written a letter to Jing City about food shortage, but he hadn't seen any replenishment so far.

General Li couldn't help sitting in front of General Cheng's bed at this time. He sighed, looked at General Cheng who had been in a coma, and then closed his eyes, "I'm afraid we will sacrifice at the frontier fortress this time."

"The matter... Yet... It's not at the end. Don't... jump to conclusions!" When General Li just finished his words, General Cheng, who had been in a coma for a long time, opened his eyes slightly, panted, and then said to General Li.

When General Li heard General Cheng's words, he couldn't help being excited. And then he bent over in front of General Cheng and said loudly, "Brother, you finally woke up. You have been in a coma for three days and three nights."

"Cough... Cough... Have I been here for so long? I just feel that I had a sleep. I lost my way in my dream and couldn't find my way back. Then, in a daze, I heard you talking, so I woke up." General Cheng coughed slightly at this time and then spoke to General Li.

General Li nodded and said, "Well, it's fine to wake up. We can fight together again."

At this time, in Xiling

When the Emperor Xiling heard the news of the frontier fortress, he couldn't help laughing. And then he said with a smile on his face, "Well. Well."

"Your Majesty, the enemy was defeated by our witchcraft men. Even one of the generals was injured by the witchcraft men." Zhan You said to the Emperor.

After hearing this, the Emperor Xiling couldn't help smiling. And then he said loudly, "When I recapture Dongling, Nanling and Beiling will also be in the bag. In the future, the whole world will belong to me."

"Then I would like to congratulate Your Majesty in advance." Zhan You couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth. And he arched his hands and said to Lan Kuo.

He just wanted to prove that he was better than Hou Shi. He wanted his father to see that it was wrong to choose Hou Shi to be the king of witchcraft.

When he helped the Emperor Xiling to dominate the world, he would be the king of witchcraft.

Lan Kuo stood up at this time and then walked to Zhan You, "Go back and prepare. We will attack the border again tomorrow. I want to strike while the iron is hot, and the opponent will be caught off guard!"

"Your Majesty, I think it will be a bit hurry to fight tomorrow." Zhan You frowned slightly after hearing this. He thought that Lan Kuo was too impatient.

After hearing this, Lan Kuo couldn't help but quickly ask, "Why? Now is a good time to take advantage of the victory."

"Your Majesty, there are too much seduce of the nightmare, and the appetite of the king seduce of the nightmare is getting more and more gigantic. It's not that I don't want to fight. Your Majesty, you have also seen the power of seduce of the nightmare. I'm afraid that they would be out of control when I am negligent!" Zhan You said while looking at Lan Kuo.

Lan Kuo walked to the throne and sat down. After a moment of contemplation, he still said unwillingly, "I wasn't thoughtful enough. Well, I will give you three days to take care of them. Three days later, we will send troops to the frontier. How about that?"

"Okay, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Zhan You knew that he could only agree, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Later, Zhan You walked towards his residence.

When he got into the room, Zhan You called his disciple Feng Xian into the room.

"Master, what can I do for you?" Feng Xian walked in, arched his hands, and bowed.

Zhan You sat down and leaned his head on his hand, "How is seduce of the nightmare?"

"Master, you can rest assured. They are all inserted with the silver needle into temples as you said." Feng Xian smiled and said to Zhan You.

Zhan You nodded slightly after hearing this. Now, he only felt fatigued. There was a large number of seduce of the nightmare now, and the king seduce of the nightmare sucked more and more blood from them every time.

Before the battle, Zhan You was afraid of making mistakes on the battlefield, so he fed the king seduce of the nightmare one more time a day before the transportation to the frontier. Now, it resulted in his extremely weak body.

He thought that he could take a good rest these days, but he didn't expect that the Emperor Xiling would be so impatient.

If he directly stated the reason just now, it would obviously make the Emperor Xiling unhappy. He had already seen that the Emperor Xiling was a ruthless character. Otherwise, he would not cooperate with the Emperor Xiling.

Now he had paid too much for it, and there was no room for risk in the future.

"Well, take good care of seduce of the nightmare. Don't be neglectful, understand?" Zhan You then warned Feng Xian again.

At this time, a gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing Zhan You's sleeves.

Zhan You couldn't help tightening his clothes at this time. He looked at his hands which were already skinny.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xian couldn't help but ask with a worried look, "Master, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Go to close the window." Zhan You shook his head and said to Feng Xian.

After hearing this, Feng Xian nodded, walked to the window, and closed it.

Then he walked to Zhan You and said, "Master, you go to bed and have a rest. I will bring you the tonic later."

"Well, go ahead." Zhan You said to Feng Xian and waved his hand. Then, Feng Xian walked out of the room and closed the door.

After Feng Xian left, Zhan You got up and walked to the bed. He never regretted all this, including his state now.

Since his father had passed the position of the king of witchcraft to Hou Shi, he would never change his view from that moment on.

At this moment, Xiao Mu and the others rushed around all night and finally arrived at the barracks near dusk the next day.

At this time, the guards saw someone walking here, and they were tensed. A soldier hurriedly stepped forward, stopped in front of Xiao Mu, and then said, "Military restricted area! Keep off!"

Xiao Mu jumped off his horse and walked to the soldier, "I am Xiao Mu. I was ordered to the frontier fortress by Marquis Shuo. I hope you will report it to your general."

As Xiao Mu said, he took the letter written by Shuo Ling out of his sleeve and handed it to the soldier.

After hearing this, the soldier took the letter, looked at Xiao Mu, and then said, "Wait a moment."

Before he ran in, the soldier said some words in the ear of the guard next to him.

Then, Xiao Mu asked everyone to dismount, tie the horse to the pole aside, and stand together to wait.

Inside the tent

After General Cheng woke up, he asked General Li about the situation outside.

General Li shook his head, "The situation is not very optimistic. Although we have a lot of soldiers, the enemies are totally invulnerable. There was nothing we could do!"

"Did you send a letter back to Jing City?" General Cheng asked softly at this time.

General Li nodded, "It has already been sent to Jing City in a hurry."

General Cheng couldn't help sighing after hearing this. They had never met the enemies that appeared in Xiling this time. They wondered what solution the Emperor might think of!

At this time, General Cheng's stomach grumbled.

General Li ordered someone to cook some porridge. General Cheng had been in a coma for three days. It would be better to eat some porridge first.

After General Cheng finished, General Li then walked forward and checked his injuries.

General Li took off his coat and then took off the gauze wrapped around the wound.

The wound scratched by seduce of the nightmare on General Cheng's chest had been black at this time, and there was obviously rotten flesh.

General Li frowned when he saw it.

General Cheng looked at the wound and then looked at General Li, "It seems that the wound will not be healed. General Li, please use the knife to cut off the rotten flesh."

"General Cheng, this..." After hearing this, General Li frowned and hesitated.

Before he could finish his sentence, General Cheng said again, "This pain is nothing for a man. It is better than losing life!"

"In that case I will cut off the rotten flesh for you." General Li hesitated and then said after hearing this.

Then General Li took out the dagger he was carrying and then ordered someone to find a wooden stick.

After everything was ready, General Li walked to the bed, looked at General Cheng, and then stuffed the wooden stick into General Cheng's mouth.

Before start, General Li glanced at General Cheng again. General Cheng nodded to him.

Then General Li lowered his head, took off the scabbard, and then put the knife in front of the rotten flesh. He gently pinched it with his left hand and then cut sharply. One of the rotten flesh was cut off.
