Chapter 374 A Strong Attack on Jialing Pass

On the city wall of Jialing Pass.

Qian Renxue and Ye Xi stood side by side, looking at the dust and sand that appeared in the distance.

"Anxious."

"Emperor Xingluo is getting anxious."

"Judging from this posture, he is launching a full-scale attack on Jialing Pass, making a final, desperate counterattack."

Qian Renxue spoke softly.

And in his line of sight, countless armored and armed troops were gradually coming into view.

"It was expected."

"Their supplies are probably running low."

"As long as we can hold on, we'll win."

Ye Xi's tone was completely calm.

The surrounding troops responsible for defending the city also moved into orderly action under the command of the Templar Knights.

Guangling arrived at the city wall, released his martial spirit, and drew his bow and arrow, ready for battle.

Gradually, the Star Luo Empire's army entered the attack range.

Under the command of the Templar Knights, the Soul-Guided Cannons fired in unison, bombarding the Star Luo Empire's army, creating a continuous roar.

However, the Star Luo Empire's army, under command, continued to advance towards Jialing Pass.

"Siege!"

"A siege regardless of the cost."

"Whoever captures Jialing Pass will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces and granted the title of Duke."

With a command from the Star Luo Emperor, the army immediately marched towards Jialing Pass.

Blood splattered in mid-air.

Corpses lay scattered beneath Jialing Pass, the shouts of battle never ceasing.

Blood stained the earth red.

This gave the ground beneath the Jialing Pass a dark red color.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled my nostrils.

Despite the Star Luo Empire's relentless attacks, Jialing Pass remained as immovable and insurmountable as a towering mountain.

sunset.

The Star Luo Empire's offensive slowed down, which allowed the defenders of Jialing Pass to relax a bit.

But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered that the Star Luo Empire was preparing to launch a night-long attack on the city.

Under the relentless, day-and-night onslaught of the Star Luo Empire, both the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire and the defenders of Jialing Pass felt an unprecedented exhaustion.

For this reason, Ye Xi even considered carrying out a decapitation strike to demoralize the enemy, but Emperor Xingluo was hiding in the army and did not show himself at all.

Without any choice.

The idea of ​​carrying out a decapitation strike had to be abandoned.

Until the third time.

Qian Renxue and Ye Xi climbed the city wall as usual, but the expected siege did not come. Instead, a large army came into view.

But their morale is low.

Some people have even become dissatisfied.

Qian Renxue and Ye Xi exchanged a glance, both of them smiling.

"Given the current situation, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Star Luo Empire is likely facing a food shortage."

Qian Renxue spoke softly.

"If we can hold on for this last day, we will win."

Ye Xi smiled and nodded.

Then, with the sound of a horn, a new round of siege began.

However, the intensity of the siege was vastly different from that of the previous two days.

On the fourth day.

In the Star Luo Empire's army, almost everything edible had been eaten, but it was still a drop in the ocean.

On the sixth day...

The garrison at Jialing Pass didn't need to defend the city at all. As long as the Star Luo Empire had any intention of attacking the city, the garrison at Jialing Pass could simply throw down a steamed bun, and the Star Luo Empire's army would scramble to grab it.

On the tenth day...

Ye Xi had two baskets of steamed buns prepared and placed at Jialing Pass, watching as the Star Luo Empire's army scrambled for them.

Some people even fought over getting an extra bite to eat. "The outcome is already decided."

"If you are willing to lay down your weapons, take off your armor and surrender, I can guarantee that you will be able to have a full meal immediately."

Ye Xi sat on the city wall, speaking slowly and deliberately.

In any case, she's not in a hurry right now.

Upon hearing these words, the Star Luo Empire's army showed obvious hesitation, but as the first person put down his weapon and removed his armor, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

One after another, people put down their weapons.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Emperor Xingluo patted the shoulder of the person next to him and charged toward Jialing Pass with a death-defying spirit.

The outcome has been decided.

Then, before I die, I'll take someone down with me.

With the thought of mutual destruction in mind, the Star Luo Emperor charged forward.

But seeing the approaching Star Luo Emperor, Ye Xi remained seated, showing no intention of moving.

Ling Yuan stepped out from behind Ye Xi and faced the Star Luo Emperor.

Guangling also drew his bow and shot arrows, attacking the Star Luo Emperor.

The fierce battle in mid-air did not last long.

As the blood mist fell, it heralded the fall of the Star Luo Emperor and the complete annihilation of the Star Luo Empire.

"Soldiers who accepted surrender."

“Those who are armed and unwilling to surrender, bury them.”

"By the way, send a message to the Spirit Hall and tell Ye Qingxue to finish things up here and to give triple the compensation to the fallen soldiers."

As Ye Xi was speaking, she was about to get up when she noticed Qian Renxue's strange expression: "What's wrong, sister?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Ye Xi's eyes.

"Ye Qingxue might be too busy."

"Why don't we let Shui Wuchang handle the follow-up issues?"

Qian Renxue spoke softly, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the overwhelmed Wuhun City.

"Are things in Wuhun City very busy?"

"Then let Mizunojo do it."

Ye Xi nodded slightly, accepting Qian Renxue's suggestion.

……

Wuhun City.

In the palace where government affairs were handled.

Ye Qingxue sat at her desk, handling the government affairs in front of her with a somewhat numb expression.

Around her were piles of government documents, as big as small mountains.

There was a squeak.

The palace gates opened.

"Place the political affairs of the Spirit Empire on the left."

"Place the Spirit Hall's administrative affairs on the right."

"Place the affairs of Frost and Snow Pavilion in the middle."

"The matter of the far north will be addressed later at Frost and Snow Pavilion."

"Bring me anything urgent first, and put anything non-urgent aside for now."

Ye Qingxue continued dealing with the official business in front of her without even raising her head.

As the new administrative tasks were put down, Ye Qingxue slowly raised her head and glanced at the mountain of administrative tasks piled up around her. She rubbed her temples in exasperation.

It is a great honor.

Although she was not the Empress of the Spirit Empire, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, or the Pavilion Master of the Frost and Snow Pavilion, she exercised the power of all three. At least, she handled the political affairs of these three places all by herself.

"Master, when will you be back?"

"I think, it seems, I'm almost overwhelmed."

Ye Qingxue muttered to herself.

She was deeply moved by Ye Xi's trust, but she had absolutely no desire to deal with the mountain of official business.

At first, it was just about the Frost and Snow Pavilion, which was fine, since we were already quite familiar with it.

Then there's the administration of the Spirit Hall.

Well, it's nothing. We've dealt with the Frost Snow Pavilion, so we won't make a difference if we deal with the Spirit Hall.

Finally, with Bibi Dong's seclusion, the political affairs of the Spirit Empire also collapsed.
