Qing Lan released her hand. She knew that Xu Dong would not be able to stop him, because Xu Dong was already certain in his heart. Has he already decided to leave?


    This way, she wouldn''t have to kill him. That way, she would be able to live a peaceful life.


    But was it really okay to leave her for the sake of the Great Way?


    For a moment, she was helpless. She didn''t know what kind of method she had chosen, but there was one way that she wouldn''t encounter Xu Dong''s resistance, and that was to let go and let him leave.


    After leaving this time, she would never look back, and thus, Qing Lan had lost Xu Dong. There was no way to meet her again, because she had already decided that once Xu Dong left, she would go and die.


    In Emperor Liang City, countless people were filled with a sense of crisis.


    A large area of flames and strife appeared in the neighboring countries. They started to enter the Liang''s territory and started to burn, kill, loot, and commit all sorts of crimes.


    The most painful thing was that the Liang did not send his troops out. Instead, she made them wait for death, because the only thing they could do was wait for death to come their way.


    As a result, troops and horses started to gather in Liang, and the rebellion army and dukes started to expand.


    When the army was formed, Emperor Liang finally decided to send out the army. He even took Zhang Liang as his advisor, because Zhang Liang was a top expert in learning how to ride a horse.


    Countless soldiers and horses were shocked. They had finally stopped their rampage, but not long after that, the army of five hundred thousand Homo sapiens s had finally destroyed the city.


    They finally realized how strange all of this was. In this world, who could still command their troops and horses, putting them in dire straits once again.


    Then the troops went to the Liang Cheng.


    The distance from Liang to the Imperial City was only a hundred miles. For those soldiers with high morale, this hundred miles could already be considered as very simple and casual, allowing them to freely step over.


    What made them helpless was that there was a chance for life in the army. The morale of the soldiers who died in the Liang rose again.


    Many of the Great Generals of the Fierce Tiger Army had expressed their opinion that they had never seen such a powerful person before.


    Sha Luo''s army had been destroyed, his defense line had been broken by just one person.


    Xu Dong had killed countless of people and was a little tired. Standing on the city gate tower, his clothes that reeked of blood had already been changed.


    With the appearance of the pillar, all their soldiers started to counterattack. Sha Luo''s troops were in danger. They didn''t bring enough food and began to panic.


    Within Sha Luo''s army, countless military officers had gathered. They raised their heads to look at the great general who was standing on the stage, and simultaneously thought of one question, and that was how they were going to proceed.


    Should they continue to attack, or retreat?


    "We already have no way out. We only have one choice here, and that is to destroy Emperor Liang and remove the city from the land. Everything we do will make our troops stronger."


    They did not choose to retreat, because retreating would allow them to become an even more powerful force.


    "To plunder their food and expand our army, that way we can go all the way to the end and let them know just how powerful we are!" They cried out for an entire night as the Liang Cheng''s garrison troops fell into a panic.


    "Reporting to General, according to the response from the people of Sha Luo City, they have chosen to continue attacking until the end."


    "So it''s really like that? If we continue like this, it''ll be a bad result for us. If they attack the city, our citizens will sink into a deep abyss of suffering."


    "Send orders to all troops, secure the Liang Cheng firmly, and never let a single Sha Luo soldier out!"


    Behind them was the Emperor Liang City. If the Emperor Liang City was destroyed, then the whole town would be finished, so they had to react.


    "Everyone be on your guard, guard the Liang Cheng!"


    Countless people knew about this news, all they understood was that Sha Luo was a cruel master, if they were able to break through the Liang Cheng, then the children of the elderly person behind them would all be …


    Xu Dong sat at the side, eating hard and dry buns, while the other generals sat together with them.


    They had chosen to fight to the bloody end, but there were countless rumors of retreat within the imperial court, all because they still had their son.


    Xu Dong looked at the huge army in the distance and said, "We''ll be arriving soon. Tonight might be the last opportunity for us to make a comeback.


    That''s right, they were going to die without a burial ground. Countless people felt Xu Dong''s sadness, wasn''t war like this?


    Some died, some lived.


    Some of the traitors were caught and hung from the railings on the city walls.


    Afterwards, the wind dried his flesh and bones, and some people could feel the pain of the Liang Cheng''s garrison troops, as well as their spirit of never admitting defeat.
