A few days later, the reinforcements from the Tiandou Empire Palace finally arrived at their destination...
However, the scene they saw made them take a breath...
"According to the news, aren't there mountains criss-crossing here? Why... why did it become like this? It's a complete ruin!"
"Look there, these mountains seem to have collapsed for some reason. It's hard to imagine that if we had arrived here a few days earlier, wouldn't we have been submerged!"
"It's too scary. I don't know what happened to the teams stationed here!"
"Hmph, how could these mountains collapse out of thin air? I think someone is responsible, and it should be the guy who attacked our Tiandou Empire soldiers!!"
"Everyone, look around, maybe there is someone else around here!"
Sure enough, after they searched the surroundings, they found those Tiandou Empire soldiers who were lucky enough to survive...
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that each of them has suffered more or less injuries...
This must be the reason why I can't return to the palace...
One of the soldiers covered his broken arm and said with great excitement, "You are finally here!"
When the man at the head of the reinforcements heard this, he looked at him and asked, "I remember that His Majesty the Emperor sent many people to garrison here? Why are there only so many of you?"
The former's expression instantly became silent, he clenched his fists and said, "The rest... including the captain have fallen!"
After receiving this answer, the man expressed sympathy, but still said, "You, tell me all the specific things that happened here!"
The soldier nodded and said, "What happened was that our entire team was stationed between these mountains. On the way, we were attacked many times by spirit beasts!"
"Because there were too many casualties, we had no choice but to hide in the mountains..."
"But the soul beast's sense of smell was too sensitive, and it discovered us soon after, and blocked all escape routes! We were forced to fight with it."
"At that moment, a loud noise broke out across the sky, and these mountains began to collapse one after another. Most of the soldiers did not have time to get out and fell into the ground. Only those of us barely survived!"
After hearing these explanations, the man nodded thoughtfully, "I see..."
"It seems that someone is indeed responsible for the collapse of the mountain range!!"
And the reason was because there was a sudden roar...
Immediately afterwards, he ordered, "This matter is related to the face of the Tiandou Empire and must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor. You should also join our team and return together!!"
"yes!!"
In this way, the reinforcements led the wounded back the same way...
They did not choose to stay here. After all, the mountains had collapsed and there was no way to fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's order...
Staying here is just a waste of time!
What's more, there is a possibility of being attacked by spirit beasts! !
…
The main hall of the Tiandou Empire’s Imperial Palace!
Xue Ye was discussing something with the ministers present...
Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently, and a Tiandou Empire soldier rushed in...
After walking to the front, he bowed and said, "Report...report to His Majesty the Emperor, I have something important to report!"
Xue Ye, who was sitting on the throne, showed displeasure and scolded, "Why are you acting in such a panic? Don't you know the rules of the palace?"
When the soldier heard this, he swallowed his throat and said, "Because this matter is urgent, please forgive me!!"
Xue Ye Leng snorted, "Tell me what's important!!"
The other ministers were also confused, and they all cast puzzled looks...
The former took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, it's about the Tiandou Empire soldiers you sent to guard those mountains. Almost all of them died!!"
Xue Ye's pupils shrank suddenly, "How could this happen? Didn't I send reinforcements? They are just some soul beasts, so this situation will not happen!"
The other ministers also showed incredulous expressions...
They all said, "What is going on? Please tell me clearly!!"
"Yes, I thought there would only be minimal losses, but it turned out to be like this!"
"Hmph, it's probably the large number of soul beasts that live in those mountains that caused such great damage!"
The soldier shook his head and denied, "No... no, His Majesty the Emperor, ministers, these soldiers did not die from the mouths of the soul beasts, but from the sudden collapse of the mountains!!"
"Based on what the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive said, someone should be responsible for this!!"
Xue Ye, furious, punched the imperial chair, "Damn it! Do you really think that my Tiandou Empire is easy to bully?"
First there was a sudden attack, and now it caused the mountains to collapse...
This is simply like stepping on the face of the emperor of the Tiandou Empire and rubbing it hard on the ground...
Faced with the former's rage, these ministers immediately lowered their heads and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, please calm down!!"
Xue Ye glared at them angrily, "Calm down, how can I calm down? I, Xue Ye, have never suffered such humiliation!!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence...
No one wants to be the target of the former in this situation, so shutting up is the best option!
After about a few minutes, Xue Ye gradually calmed down...
"Pass me to order that the Tiandou Empire be under full martial law. All outsiders must be tracked down!!"
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was probably done by other empires!
But without evidence, that’s all it can do!
The other ministers breathed a sigh of relief and recovered from the strong feeling of suffocation...
The soldier nodded slightly, "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor!"
Just as he was about to leave to deliver the order...
Xue Ye said again, "By the way, we must ask the Crown Prince to come here, and if possible, Xu Sheng next to him!"
"yes!!"
Seeing the soldiers leaving the hall, the ministers couldn't help but look puzzled...
Who is Xu Sheng mentioned by His Majesty the Emperor? Why did you ask him to come to the main hall in such a polite tone...
As if he had read through their minds, Xue Ye said coldly, "What? Are you curious about Xu Sheng's identity?"
The ministers looked at each other, and then nodded in unison...
They really wanted to know who this Xu Sheng was!
Xue Ye said again, "But you may be disappointed. Xu Sheng is just a child from an unknown village in Fanos Province."
With this explanation, all the ministers became even more confused...
Since Xu Sheng is just a poor kid from a small village, how can he win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor?
It doesn’t make sense at any point! !
However, seeing that Xue Ye did not continue talking, it was difficult for them to ask further questions...
