Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All - Chapter 457
457 Another War
Dong Xi looked at the two of them and said, “There’s an 80 percent chance that there’ll be another war tomorrow. You guys stand guard. I’ll rest first.”
Long Wei, “…”
What was that? Rest? Those on sentry duty don’t deserve to rest?
The sky slowly brightened. The familiar sound of a horn sounded outside the city wall. Dong Xi immediately climbed up the city wall.
The battle cries outside were deafening.
This formation was exactly the same as yesterday. Looking at the cultivators attacking crazily, they were all very familiar. One of them who wielded a saber was even more familiar.
Dong Xi understood this time. It seemed that they had indeed changed factions.
Dong Xi held her sword and killed her enemies with all her might. With each slash, she defeated an enemy soldier. She said loudly, “The tables have turned. I won’t let you break into the city today.”
More and more people gathered behind Dong Xi. Dong Xi had long discovered that these people were the soldiers from the same camp as yesterday.
Under Dong Xi’s protection, many people survived, and today’s harvest was much simpler.
As expected, after a night, the soldiers who attacked the city all retreated.
Dong Xi shook her numb arm and could not help but say, “This is even more satisfying than body tempering!”
Tie Zhu, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, “That’s right. Even when I’ve punched 300 times, it doesn’t feel as good as the fight today.”
Dong Xi placed a hand on Tie Zhu’s shoulder and said, “Senior Brother, think of it as body tempering. The current environment is quite suitable.”
Tie Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, “You really know how to comfort people.”
Tie Zhu rubbed his stomach and sighed, “I’ve been too tired these past few days.”
Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, a soldier quickly ran over. The soldier bowed and said, “Vice General, the General wants you to go over.”
Dong Xi frowned, stood up, and said, “Let’s go, lead the way.”
General Song was still in the study with a map on the desk. General Song looked at Dong Xi and said, “General, your strength is extraordinary. Do you have any plans to deal with these bandits tomorrow?”
Dong Xi did not make up her mind this time. Dong Xi suddenly understood that General Song had called her over. Was there a chance for a change?
When they were outside the city, Dong Xi had nothing to do with every attack. However, after the defense, General Song actually called Dong Xi over for a discussion.
She made a bold guess. Could it be that she had fulfilled some conditions during the attack, which gave her the right to speak this time?
She could not just leave it at that. Otherwise, if this continued, how was she going to find the treasure?
With this thought in mind, Dong Xi stole a glance at the map in front of General Song. Dong Xi had a flash of inspiration and said, “General Song, we can go to Feisu City and ask for reinforcements.”
“Feisu City is also a small city,” General Song shook his head and said. “How can it stop the 400,000-strong army of bandits?”
“General Song, Feisu City might not be able to deal with these bandits alone,” Dong Xi said immediately. “But with us there, there will definitely be no problem if we cooperate.”
General Song thought for a long time, then suddenly slammed the table and said, “Alright, I’ll give you a fast horse. You can go to Feisu City.”
Dong Xi, “…”
Fine, I’ll go.
According to the settings, there would be a truce at night, so she should be able to reach Feisu City safely.
Everything here was very real, not like an illusion at all.
Dong Xi was also paying close attention to the guards and citizens of Feisu City. She did not find a single familiar face.
In other words, there was no one in Feisu City, and no one knew where the rest of the cultivators were.
Dong Xi was brought by a soldier to see the General guarding Feisu City. As soon as Dong Xi asked for help, the other party immediately refused.
“How can we support you with so few people?” asked the General. “We’re no match for the bandits!”
Dong Xi looked straight into his eyes and said, “General, it is because you are not a match for the bandits that you should support us. The two cities are so close. If we are breached, how will you deal with the bandits’ 400,000-strong army? If the General is unwilling to help us, then be prepared to be slaughtered. According to what we know, the bandits will not be too merciful to the defeated.”
Dong Xi was grateful to her school for teaching war history lessons. It was just in time to use such knowlege.
The General was also somewhat moved by Dong Xi’s words.
Dong Xi continued, “General, we are the defending side. They have at least twice the number of troops to break through the city. If you support us, we might be able to resist them together…”
…
Dong Xi brought the men back to the city they were defending. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the siege battle was underway.
Even though they did not have a fierce General like Dong Xi, the city was not so easy to take down.
