Chapter 109: Get Ready!



Chapter 109: Get Ready!

"Are you threatening me with Barbarians?" Hongyi's voice gradually became cold.

"I don't dare!" 

The black-robed man lowered his head, and his tone softened a little.

"The Eternal Life Alliance was founded by the honorable Demons, how could my Barbarians dare to despise it."

"You are mad!"

Hongyi spat out and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Meanwhile, the black-robed man was silent, agreeing to what Hongyi said.

The air became heavy.

Both the man and the old man's eyes turned green, looking like they were ready to jump at any moment. 

At this time, Hongyi sat down and gestured with her eyes: "The visitor is a guest. Since the Barbarians cooperated with the Eternal Life Alliance, the two sides are naturally allies."

After speaking, the dignified atmosphere dissipated.

The black-robed man smiled and said, "Thank you, Hall Master Hong."

He then sat down in the empty seat.

When the man and the old man saw this, the green color in their eyes subsided. They also sat back down.

Hongyi asked, "So what is your purpose for coming at this time?"

"Hall Master Hong might not know, but just yesterday, my Barbarians marched North to attack the Great Wilderness Province. If I guessed correctly, the Great Province's gate has already been breached."

"Many areas, including Ningshan City, have all fallen into our hands."

"Now, we are about to enter the Great Wilderness Province. I was sent with a message of goodwill from the clan, we hope to have Hall Master Hong cooperate with us in capturing Jin City together!" 

As he said this, the other's expressions changed.

"The Barbarians have already conquered Ningshan City!?"

Hongyi was taken aback. Although the Eternal Life Alliance had cooperated with the Barbarians and knew that they were going to attack the Great Desolate Province, she did not expect them to move so quickly.

As the gateway to the Great Wilderness Province, several cities, such as Ningshan City, were guarded by heavy troops, with the sole purpose of resisting the attack of Barbarians.

In the past, when the Barbarians attacked the Great Wilderness Province, they mostly bypassed the heavily guarded cities. They simply went directly into the city and looted them, before immediately retreating.

Unless it was large-scale looting, they wouldn't occupy places such as Ningshan City.

It took a lot of time for the Barbarians to finally spearhead their attack to the gate of the Great Wilderness Province, and it was obviously beyond her expectations that they managed to break through Ningshan City overnight.

At this moment, Hongyi finally understood why the black-robed man came here.

Although Jin City was not a big city and its geographical location was not that important, strictly speaking, Jin City had a lot of resources.

If the Barbarians really broke through, with the progress of their troops, it would not be long before they would go there. 

If the Eternal Life Alliance cooperated with the Barbarians and caused turmoil in Jin City, it would undoubtedly provide great convenience for the Barbarians in capturing the city.     

The black-robed man said: "This time, my clan has vowed to march North and occupy the land of Great Qin. Now that my clan's troops are pouring out of its nest, how can a small and Great Wilderness Province resist our offensive?"

"We hope that the Hall Master will cooperate with us and create some chaos in the city."

"In order to show our sincerity, when we capture Jin City, half of the city's population would be given to the Eternal Life Alliance, which you can use however you want."

Half of the population!

Hearing this, Hongyi's eyes flickered.

There were no less than 300,000 people in Jin City.

If she could get half of the population, their strength would definitely increase greatly.

After all, she was a Hall Master of the Eternal Life Alliance, and Jin City was under her jurisdiction.

At this time, a charming smile appeared on Hongyi's face: "The Eternal Life Alliance and Barbarians are allies. If the Barbarians need it, we will naturally lend help. So how do we go about this?"

"It's very simple. It would be fine as long as you cause chaos in the city." 

The black-robed man said in a deep voice.

"The biggest issue in Jin City currently is the Black Tiger Army, stationed outside the city. If there is any change, they will respond immediately, so the best way is to have them spread their forces."

"Chaos in the city would definitely make the Black Tiger Army move."

"As long as their forces are divided, we will have the opportunity to defeat them."

"Even if there is no way to deal with the Black Tiger Army, they will be exhausted physically and mentally. When the chaos in the city starts, the Barbarians will strike."

In the eyes of the black-robed man, the Black Tiger Army was the biggest threat.

As long as the problem of the Black Tiger Army was settled, the rest was nothing to worry about.

"No problem."

Hongyi nodded.

A satisfied smile appeared on the black-robed man's face. He then seemed to think of something.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Hall Master Hong seems to have fought against a certain powerhouse and the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion was destroyed. I wonder if this is true or not?" 

"It's just a small matter."

Hong Yi smiled slightly and wasn't keen on talking about this issue.

Seeing this, the black-robed man also didn't ask any further questions.

"Then I'll wait for the good news from Hall Master Hong."

"The Eternal Life Alliance promises gold, so I hope that the Barbarians will do the same. Otherwise, the Eternal Life Alliance alone wouldn't make a big improvement."

"That's natural. Alright, goodbye!" 

The black-robed clasped his fists, then turned and left.

When leaving, he glanced at the man and the old man one last time, but didn't say a word.

In his eyes, two Demons at the Qi Circulation Realm were nothing.

If it weren't for Hongyi, he would have erased their existence with the wave of his hands.

When the black-robed man completely left, the charming smile on Hongyi's face disappeared.

"Hall Master, why didn't you tell him about Shen Changqing's existence?" 

The old man was puzzled on this point.

From the conversation just now, it was obvious that Hongyi deliberately concealed Shen Changqing's existence.

Hearing this, the man also turned his attention to Hongyi's answer.

"Why tell him? Although the Eternal Life Alliance is temporarily cooperating with the Barbarians, we are ultimately not the same faction. It can be seen from the fact that he destroyed the Zhou Family and exposed my Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion."

"The Barbarians used the Great Qin's hand to weaken the Eternal Life Alliance."

Hongyi sneered. Killing intent was evident from her words.

"If the Barbarians want to weaken the Eternal Life Alliance, why wouldn't I want the Barbarians to stumble?"

"Cooperation is cooperation. It does not mean that every piece of information has to be said."

"If he can survive from Shen Changqing's hands, then he could consider himself lucky. Otherwise, he could only blame himself for his bad luck."

As early as when the black-robed man exposed the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, Hongyi was already very dissatisfied with the Barbarians.

It's just the identity of the Barbarians, which made it difficult for her to start anything.

But now, the black-robed man had come to her door. Although he seemed very polite in words, there's naturally a sense of underlying arrogance, which dissatisfied Hongyi.

Even if the two sides were currently allies and cannot attack each other, there were other ways to make the other party pay the price.

Seeing Hongyi's cold face, the old man and the man did not dare to say more about this issue. 

After a while, the old man said with a complicated look: "Are we going to do it now?"

Hongyi looked at the sky and shook her head: "Let's wait a little longer. Let's talk about it in a few hours. The person from the Demon Suppression Division is still in Jin City. With your strength, you'll die if you encounter him."

"Hence, when you do start, if you feel something is wrong, retreat as soon as possible."

"If you died in his hands, don't blame me for not reminding you. "

"Thank you, Hall Master, for the reminder!"

Both of the men bowed their heads and replied. 

The lights flickered, and the atmosphere in the hall calmed down. 

As the night got deeper, apart from the Black Tiger Army patrolling the streets of Jin City, there were only watchmen.

The whole city seemed to be trapped in perpetual darkness, with only a few places with hints of light coming from fire.

In contrast to the dark city, was the Black Tiger Army's camp outside the city, with a large number of torches lighting the area. 

In the General's tent, Chu Ding's face was extremely solemn. Sitting in his lower left hand seat was Governor Nie Xu.

Below the two, was a blood-stained soldier, wearing torn armor and kneeling on one knee.

"What are you talking about? What exactly happened!?"

Chu Ding's voice was eerily indifferent, making people shudder.

The soldier trembled and said in a choked voice: "Ge, General, last last night, the barbarians raided Ningshan City. We fought for several hours, but in the end, Ningshan City was taken over and General Cui Yue died in battle."

"Most of Ningshan City's 100,000 defenders were killed."

"Only a small part of the remaining soldiers managed to flee, escaping towards the inner part of the Great Wilderness Province."

"Currently, the Barbarians are marching straight into the Great Wilderness Province. Please take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to be plotted against by the Barbarians!"

[Bang~]!

The wooden handrail suddenly shattered.

Chu Ding's face was full of anger, and he roared in a low voice: "Ningshan City has 100,000 defenders, including 20,000 Black Tiger troops. With what qualifications do the Barbarians have, to break through in less than a night?"

Frightened by the roar, the soldier lowered his head even further.

"When they attacked, hundreds of thousands of Barbarians attacked the city, regardless of casualties. Although the city's defense force was not weak, there was no way to resist their overwhelming numbers."

After he finished speaking, the tent fell silent.

Chu Ding waved his hand weakly: "You can go and rest."

"Then I shall retire for the time being!" 

The soldier struggled to get up from the ground and staggered out.

Candle light flickered inside the tent, reflecting Chu Ding's gloomy face and Nie Xu's pale face.

"General Chu, was Ningshan City really lost?"

Nie Xu looked up at Chu Ding, a look of disbelief on his pale face.

Ningshan City was lost!

For him, this was undoubtedly shocking news.

It was because it meant that the Barbarians had the ability to drive straight and Jin City was on the verge of danger.

 Chu Ding was silent, as if he hadn't heard Nie Xu's words.

It was only after a while and taking a long breath, did he look at Nie Xu.

"Actually, long before he came, Ningshan City had already sent a message from a quick horse, so"

"Governor Nie, get ready for the war!"
