Chapter 12675 Traitor

Chapter 12675 Traitor
The weather-beaten face of the high priest was now covered with a thick layer of haze. His gaze was fixed on Ling Xiao, and the murderous intent in his eyes was as surging as a violent storm, as if it was going to swallow up the world.

He was filled with fear and anxiety about Ling Xiao, this evil existence. Such a young Fei Tian realm expert had already demonstrated terrifying strength. If he continued to grow, I'm afraid no one in the entire Northern Frontier would be able to defeat him.

"High Priest, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!" Tuoba Jun's face was distorted and he roared hoarsely, "My father will be here soon. I have already told him what happened here. I will make sure that Ling Xiao is dead without a burial place!"

There was a mad rage flashing in his eyes, as if he would only feel relieved if he tore Ling Xiao into pieces.

The high priest took a deep breath. He knew that he had no other choice at this moment. He had to deal with this threat as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He waved the staff in his hand fiercely and shouted in a deep voice: "Attack!"

Following his order, the entire battlefield instantly became boiling. Countless warriors rushed towards the city where Ling Xiao was like a tide, their eyes filled with fanaticism and murderous intent.

The floating warships also began to release terrifying artillery fire. Rays of blazing flames streaked across the sky and slammed heavily into the city's defensive formations.

Although the defensive formation was extremely powerful, cracks began to appear under such fierce bombardment. Every bombardment made the people on the city wall tremble with fear, they knew that the formation would not hold out for much longer.

The Tyrant Empire would not sit still and wait for death. Ling Xiao quickly ordered a counterattack. On the city wall, the huge array cannon began to roar, and bright beams of light cut through the sky, sweeping towards the floating warships in the sky.

In the sky, floating warships were densely packed, like a dark cloud covering the city. Therefore, the artillery fire did not need to be aimed at all, just kept bombarding.

As deafening explosions sounded, more and more floating warships were hit and turned into fireballs that fell down. The entire world seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​fire.

On the city wall, Ling Xiao and the others watched all this with solemn expressions. They knew that although they were temporarily safe, once the defensive formation was broken, it would be a real fierce battle.

By then, it would be almost impossible to save everyone's lives.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Ji Mingkong saw Ling Xiao's worry and comforted him softly, "War is always cruel, and death is inevitable. You have done very well. You have experienced a lot of such things. You should learn to face them calmly."

Her words were full of understanding and encouragement, which relieved Ling Xiao's pressure a little.

"I know." Ling Xiao's voice was calm, but his heart was full of determination. He knew that as the Overlord, he had the responsibility to protect all those who followed him.

These people, whether soldiers or civilians, have made great efforts and sacrifices for him and the Tyrant Empire. Their lives are pinned on him, and he must not let them down.

Even in the cruelty of war, Ling Xiao always sticks to this belief.

He knew clearly that the cost of war was heavy and that people might be sacrificed in every battle, but he still tried his best to save everyone's life.

He couldn't just let others sacrifice and die. As long as there was a chance, he would do his best to protect them.

This is also the reason why he didn't want to escape.

He knew that if he fled, those who followed him would be in greater danger. He could not abandon them, he had to face this war with them and resist the invasion of the enemy together.

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came, and the whole city was shocked.

Ling Xiao's face suddenly changed. He immediately realized that the city's defensive formation had been broken. He looked at the gap in front of him in disbelief, and his heart was full of doubts: "What's going on? There are still so many spirit stones, how could it be broken so easily?"

At this moment, a Dou Zong disciple stumbled over, covered in blood. He shouted in horror, "Your Majesty, it's bad! The Dao Sect, one of the eight sects of Dou Zong, has rebelled. Their leader Jiang Fengyu killed our people and opened the enemy's formation."

Hearing this news, Ling Xiao and Xiao Kuangren's faces suddenly changed. Jiang Fengyu, this name is not unfamiliar to them.

Jiang Fengyu and Ling Xiao had a little conflict because of Jiang Haochen. But Ling Xiao had chosen to let Jiang Haochen go at that time. He didn't expect that Jiang Fengyu would rebel at this time.

"Jiang Fengyu, you traitor!" Xiao Kuangren roared, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent. He couldn't accept this fact, couldn't accept that his former companion would actually betray them.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to kill that traitor!" Xiao Kuangren pleaded. He was eager to avenge his dead brothers with his own hands.

However, Ling Xiao shook his head and said calmly, "No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the darkness. Then, a bloody head was thrown to the ground. It was Jiang Fengyu's head.

Huanbi walked out from the shadows, her face expressionless, as if she had just done something insignificant. Now, she was more like a cold-blooded assassin, invisible and traceless, making people feel afraid.

"The rebels have all been killed!" Huanbi bowed to Ling Xiao and said, "The thirteen demon generals are ready to obey your majesty's orders at any time."

Ling Xiao nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Well done." He was a little relieved by Huanbi's decisiveness and ruthlessness. In war, such ruthlessness and decisiveness are indispensable.

Immediately, Ling Xiao looked at the broken crack, from where the enemies were rushing in.

On the side of the Tyrant Empire, many people have died because the incident happened suddenly and they were ambushed by the enemy, resulting in heavy losses.

Such are the terrible consequences of being a traitor.

"Close the gap at all costs!"

Ling Xiao rushed forward first. Although he has not fully recovered yet and the sequelae caused by the Kuishui Thorn are still terrible, he has to lead the way now.

"Your Majesty, you should leave first. The formation has been broken. There is a problem with our original plan. If you continue to stay here, you will definitely be in danger."

Ji Mingkong looked at Ling Xiao anxiously, his tone full of worry.

Ling Xiao's eyes were firm. Before he could speak, Bai Zhou at the side also advised: "Your Majesty, you should listen to Ming Kong. Even if all of us die on the battlefield, as long as you can leave safely, our sacrifice will be meaningful."

There was a hint of determination and tragedy in Bai Ri's words.
