Li Chen's sudden appearance caused everyone in the hall to be stunned, but Fen Xiangxiang was not polite at all and directly went up to sit at a table, picking fruits from his spatial ring and eating them, looking like he did not need to care about me.
But it was true that Qiao Sanliang did not pay attention to Fen Xiangxiang, he was already feeling extremely anxious right now. He looked at the schedule in his hands, but it was useless now.
There were close to two hundred thousand soldiers in the enemy ranks. Just the Martial King Realm alone was enough to bring out two experts, and there were even more cultivators at the peak of the War God. The Iron Wall City was currently being attacked from four sides, and was being besieged by the enemies.
Currently, their entire Iron Wall City was being surrounded, as though they did not have any strength to retaliate.
However, it was unknown when the enemy troops had hidden themselves there. If it was just these two days, then the enemy would have the highest chance of survival after escaping, and if the enemy troops had this plan in the morning, then they wouldn't have the chance to survive.
However, Qiao Sanliang and the rest should be considering whether to return or defend!
Based on the current situation, the Iron Wall City would probably not be able to hold on.
However, there was a Royal Princess here right now, so it would be hard for them to retreat. They were all conflicted, and it was Li Chen who spoke in the end. Why should I retreat!? In any case, in this situation, whether we retreat or defend, we have to put our lives on the line and guard this Iron Wall City, maybe there is still a chance for us to survive. "
Li Chen's sudden outburst caused a few people to not say anything, but Qiao Sanliang's face was filled with displeasure, as though he wanted to flare up, but was afraid of Fen Xiangxiang, so he could only hold it in until his face turned red.
However, he still had the dignity of a general.
"What chance do we have if we defend such a city? We're surrounded and surrounded. We're like dumplings being stuffed. We can't fight back at all. If we retreat, we might even be able to fight our way out."
Qiao Sanliang's words were not unreasonable, after all, if there were more people, they could really carve out a path of blood and stand guard in the Iron Wall City, like a meat on a chopping block, ready to be minced into dumplings at any time.
The meeting room immediately became silent. Everyone was thinking, returning or guarding.
Li Chen sat firmly on the side. He had already revealed his plan, if he retreated, those who sacrificed 100,000 soldiers might not be able to survive.
On the other hand, the enemy forces had a clear understanding of their Iron Wall City, whether they retreated or defended, it was very difficult!
However, Li Chen was sure that if he retreated, even a single one would not survive. As far as he knew, there were many strong enemies among them, and this time, he heard that there were two of them in Martial King Realm.
No one spoke for a long time in the meeting room. After Fen Xiangxiang finished the fruit in his hand, he slowly said: "We will defend the city!"
Qiao Sanliang and the rest immediately looked at Fen Xiangxiang, their expressions unclear, after a while, Qiao Sanliang said: "Princess, defending the city does not mean that there is a chance for survival, when the enemy attacks, even if we die, we will not be able to escape."
Fen Xiangxiang looked after herself and said: "We will guard, and if we cannot retreat, then the voodoo will definitely think that we can retreat, and only then will we be able to catch them all, and guard the Iron Wall City, at least we can still hold on for a while."
As if he had thought of something, Fen Xiangxiang continued, "Besides, if we can hold on for a month, we can wait for the next batch of reinforcements!"
"What?" Would there still be reinforcements coming? "
Fen Xiangxiang's words immediately shocked the people in the conference room.
Why isn't there a war going on in the northwest border? In these few months, we have even lost so many battles, why would our royal clan allow our territory to be occupied by people, and send reinforcements here almost every month, General Qiao is one of the first official reinforcements, so the second batch should have been a little less, but the situation is special now, when I first came here, I reported the situation back to the Capital. The reinforcements are already on the way, so as long as we defend this city, we can definitely make a comeback fight.
He thought, if Fen Xiangxiang wore a set of refined armor and spoke those words in front of all the soldiers, it would definitely boost the morale of the soldiers, at least he felt that they would win just because of Fen Xiangxiang's words.
"Defend the city for one month! Hehe, that's difficult! I'm afraid we'll all die if we don't bring reinforcements. It's better if I do my best to retreat! "
At this time, Qiao Sanliang still persisted on with his suggestion.
One of the cultivators at the peak of the War God heard and immediately jumped out, "General Qiao, we cannot retreat. There are no soldiers on the battlefield who would retreat without fighting, if we retreat now, it would be no different from escaping. You are all new generals, and all of you are afraid of death.
At the end of his speech, this guard under Yan Zhizhan was already very excited, and his words were almost as loud as his roars.
"The people of Iron Wall City insist that the city exists. If the city dies, then the people will die.
Seeing Qiao Sanliang's ugly expression, Li Chen really wanted to clap and cheer for General Liao! What he said was too good, and it could even make Qiao Sanliang's face turn red.
"However, we cannot be deserters. As long as we can hold on for one month, we will win!"
The other people at the side also turned to Fen Xiangxiang's side.
Maybe there were some political tendencies inside that wanted to curry favor with Fen Xiangxiang, the princess of the Ancient Kingdom, or maybe they simply thought that retreating without a fight was not something a warrior would do.
Everyone began to reorganize the soldiers in their hands, while at the same time, raise their morale. They had actually forgotten about Li Chen, the guy who was initially targeted by Qiao Sanliang and the others.
This was all probably because of Fen Xiangxiang's identity as the princess of an ancient country!
Someone who could follow beside the princess, how could he possibly be a traitor! On the other hand, he had forgotten about the evidence that pointed towards Li Chen.
Really, Li Chen felt that once again, the identity of an royalty was very useful. In this land that was guarded by countries, royalty and such, the right to speak could truly affect many things.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said? "
Fen Xiangxiang had been talking about plans to defend the city the whole way back to the training grounds with Li Chen, but when he turned back to look, he realized that was not listening to him speak at all.
Li Chen was suddenly shocked by Fen Xiangxiang's loud voice, he laughed: "It's nothing, it's just that thinking about the people from your imperial family, your status is very precious, a princess of a thousand gold actually came to this border, I wonder what you are thinking."
Fen Xiangxiang was not stupid, she knew that Li Chen was definitely not thinking about this, but she did not feel like asking, "What can you think about, come here to train."
"Even experiential learning doesn't choose the battlefield. Don't tell me that you want to fight for the position of the Empire, with outstanding battle achievements, step by step. In the end, you want to surpass your good brothers and take that position."
Li Chen's words were spoken without any cover, so he stopped moving forward and looked fixedly at Li Chen. After a moment, he said: "Are you really a citizen of our Brahma?"
Fen Xiangxiang's smile had disappeared and his tone was firm. However, was stunned and couldn't help but guess in his heart that she ?
"You actually don't know that the successors of our Brahma are all men and not women? Ever since the founding of our Brahma, there has never been an empress. "
Fen Xiangxiang's last sentence, made Li Chen's nervous expression relax slightly, and he laughed, he did not know what happened to him just now, and spoke as though they were testing each other out. If he was Fen Xiangxiang, he should not be in a very beautiful mood right now, being thought like that.
"Alright, I was wrong. I only heard what you said just now. I feel that if you were a general, you would definitely be a good one."
Fen Xiangxiang laughed, and then turned to continue walking, "If you didn't meet such an easy target for speech, just based on what you said just now, I would have already cut you down."
Fen Xiangxiang never thought that he would hear it from someone else, saying that she had the ability to become a general, and could still compete with his brother for power.
After all, there had never been an empress of the Brahma before. Among the restrictions on the succession, there were some that could not be taught to girls by their ancestors.
But she knew that there were many female emperors in voodoo.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the two countries wage wars year round. Forcefully robbing people who have a completely different way of life to make them into people like you, those with ambitions will all have this kind of perverted thought and action.
He went too far.
Back to the main topic.
Seeing that Fen Xiangxiang was smiling again, Li Chen also started to chat without saying a word.
However, due to Li Chen's personality, he did not talk much. Most of the time, he was just a listener. Only Fen Xiangxiang kept on chattering about other trivial matters or the upcoming battle to defend the city.
The current Iron Wall City was heavily guarded. Even in the city, everyone no longer had the relaxed temperament they used to have.
Just like that, three or four days had passed, and the enemy's encirclement outside the city had already moved six kilometers away, very close to the Iron Wall City.
There were also enemy troops invading at night to loot the food. Fortunately, among the people guarding the food, there were three experts at the peak of the War God, which prevented them from getting their hands on the food.
