After Xue Yinzhou helped Jia Lan stabilize the situation at the West Gate, he rushed to check the other city gates.
The Imperial City North Gate is the main gate, and the attack it faces is undoubtedly the fiercest.
The rebel army has sent one Eighth Rank Peak Beastman and two Mid-Eighth Rank Beastn as the main generals.
Led by the three Eighth Rank Beastn, their elite forces were unstoppable, attacking with great montum!
Lu Xiao personally piloted the fighter and led the troops stationed at the north gate, using various maneuvering tactics, fighting the enemy to a standstill, not only successfully stalling this invincible elite force but also annihilating nearly half of the rebel army, creating the best opportunity for Shen Tang and the others inside the city to counter-attack.
On the other side at the East Gate, the battle was also extrely tense.
Xiao Jin and another Eighth Rank general were confronting two Mid-Eighth Rank rebel generals.
Although he was just at the Seventh Rank Peak, he relied on his battlefield experience and relentless ferocity, going back and forth with one Eighth Rank rebel general.
Xiao Jin was like an indomitable cockroach, enduring severe injuries, even breaking his leg bones twice, yet managed to lead the team in repeated surprise attacks and counter-assaults, which infuriated the rebel general to the point of smoking with anger, even starting to fear this Leopard Beast who was a rank lower than him.
This style of inflicting self-damage to injure the enemy was utterly insane!
The rebel general finally managed to exhaust Xiao Jin, relying on his superior rank, to the brink of death, ready to seize victory with joy when suddenly Xiao Jin broke through to Eight Rank!
Even at Seventh Rank Peak against Mid-Eighth Rank, he did not gain an advantage.
After Xiao Jin broke through to Eighth Rank, he fiercely suppressed that rebel general!
Within re half a day, Xiao Jin slayed the main general and tead up with another city defense general to eliminate another rebel general.
Without the support of the two main generals, the remaining rebels were like headless flies, ants in a crumbling anthill, quickly cleaned up.
anwhile, at the south gate, as Shen Tang predicted, this most concealed gate faced more intense attacks than the East and West gates.
When Xue Yinzhou arrived, Shen Li also successfully broke through to Eighth Rank, and was fiercely defending the gate with another general.
They were facing an Eighth Rank Peak general and two Eighth Rank generals, while Shen Li and the other city defense general were both at Early Stage Eight, far outmatched in troops compared to Lu Xiao who held the Military Token, yet they managed to hold out for so long.
Xue Yinzhou fleetingly felt surprised, but without dwelling on it, quickly joined the battle to help clear out the remaining rebels.
All sides were fighting fiercely, destined for another sleepless night.
...
Elsewhere.
When Shen Tang woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, with clear skies.
She hadn’t expected to sleep so deeply, for so long. Her exhausted body was fully recharged, refreshed, and her spirit was much better.
Thinking of the many injured in the city waiting for treatnt, Shen Tang’s heart tightened, hastily lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the tent.
It was late autumn, coupled with the recent constant warfare, the gloomy skies felt like a haze over everyone’s hearts, lingering persistently.
Stepping outside, Shen Tang paused in astonishnt.
Today was a rare sunny day, the sunlight was brilliant, even the air slled noticeably fresher, without the acrid scent of gunpowder and the stench of blood.
Not far away, a few groups of Beastn lay in tents or crouched in the open, resting and healing.
Doctor Goya was leading a group of nimble young people, thodically bandaging the wounds and changing the dicine for the injured Beastman Warriors, skillfully and earnestly.
Seeing Shen Tang co out, everyone greeted,
"Good day, Your Highness!"
Shen Tang greeted each of them, also joining Doctor Goya in treating the wounded, occasionally hearing the nearby civilians chatting light-heartedly, feeling amazed, even wondering if she was dreaming, experiencing a pleasant dream.
The sudden war shattered the false peace of the past, and Shen Tang’s nerves had been tightly wound to the limit, having heard the most screams and cries, seen the most smoke-covered gloomy skies. Suddenly seeing today’s sunny and clear scene, she was sowhat unaccustod.
Shen Tang asked the system in her mind, "Why has the atmosphere in the city beco so peaceful and harmonious today?"
Listening carefully, she no longer heard the sounds of artillery bombardnt.
It was too quiet.
The rebel army wouldn’t be up to sothing again, right?
The system’s voice was light-hearted, [Rest assured, host, the war situation has stabilized, this batch of rebel troops has been beaten into retreat, even though they are unwilling to withdraw and remain stationed outside the city, they dare not attack rashly anymore, host can sleep a few good sleeps.]
"The war situation stabilized so quickly? Wasn’t it still fiercely intense yesterday?" She was surprised.
[Hehe~ The host’s Beast Husbands are very brave, after this battle, all of them have broken through, last night when the host was fast asleep, they fought a desperate bloody battle, crushing the rebel army! Making them run and cry helplessly!]
The system spoke with increasing excitent, [Especially your Snake Husband, he is now at Mid Ninth Rank strength, performing on the battlefield, he’s practically a walking killing god, except for the rebel commander who doesn’t dare show his face, those troops are simply no match for him!]
Hearing this, Shen Tang felt conflicted, "...Wait, are you suggesting that he has been deliberately hiding his strength while with ?"
The system hastily redied, [That’s not exactly it! Xue Yinzhou is definitely focused on protecting the host, just that he’s always been reluctant to use his full strength because he despises the Night Glow Empire, this land only brings back painful mories, deep down he... hopes for this country to be completely destroyed, only because of the host did he choose to truly take action.]
Shen Tang felt complicated, uncertain what to say.
After helping a Beastman whose left leg was blown into a bloody ss complete treatnt, just as she was about to get up, she saw Jia Lan returning.
This ticulous young prince who always cared about his appearance ca back dusty, clothes ragged, hair ssy, pretty face dirty, with several scars.
Especially his left leg, limping awkwardly on his feet.
When Shen Tang approached, she saw clearly the bullet marks at his pants hem, hurriedly supporting him to sit on the ground, and quickly removing the bullet, treating the wound.
Shen Tang looked pained, "How did you get so badly injured!"
Jia Lan seeing her worried expression, bit back the complaint he originally wanted to say.
The young man’s long eyelashes drooped subtly, face pale and delicate, leaning against her, increasingly weak, "...Cough, cough, for you, it’s worth dying!"
Hearing this, Shen Tang’s heart trembled, face showing displeasure, "Don’t say silly things, if you die, Jialouluo Your Majesty will ask for you, and I won’t be able to return you. She’ll surely skin ."
Jia Lan pouted at her, "Is that all you’re worried about?"
Shen Tang held his face, kissing his lips softly, "I’m worried about you, both of us need to be safe, neither is allowed to have an accident."
After Jia Lan advanced in rank, his wounds recovered significantly, they were not as severe for a long ti, and after Shen Tang’s treatnt, improved even more, but suddenly being faced with the beautiful beloved female holding his face, kissing his lips, he felt his heart race intensely, like fire igniting, instantly losing all strength, collapsing softly onto her.
When Xue Yinzhou returned, he happened to see Jia Lan’s dependent and fragile appearance, his mouth twitching hard, an hour ago he wasn’t still destroying a barracks? How suddenly was he half-dead?
So pretentious!
His silver-white snake tail brushed the ground agitatedly.
If he wasn’t worried about mistakenly injuring Shen Tang, he’d have swung his tail over long ago.
