If you're made a fake emperor, why did you change the country's name?

On the city walls, shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Boulders and logs rained down relentlessly, accompanied by arrows, turning the city walls into a meat grinder!

Meng Qianshan cleaved a Wolf Kingdom soldier who had just climbed over the wall with a single stroke, his warm blood splattering all over the soldier's face.

He didn't wipe it off, but looked at the densely packed Wolf Kingdom soldiers below the city wall. The memory of the night before, when his father Meng Baishan suddenly came to him, immediately came back to him.

Meng Baishan earnestly advised, "Qianshan, remember, His Majesty is not only a ruler, but also Qing'er's husband!"

"In this decisive battle, even if the Imperial Guards and the Meng family are all wiped out, you must ensure his safety!"

Thinking of this, Meng Qianshan gritted his teeth, picked up his knife and cut down another Wolf Kingdom soldier, then walked towards the city wall pavilion.

Unlike other parts of the city wall, everything was peaceful in front of the pavilion because the guards stationed there were all at or above the Innate Realm. It was as if no battle had taken place.

Covered in blood, Meng Qianshan pushed past the guards and, upon seeing Zhao Yu, immediately knelt down and bowed.

"Your Majesty! It's dangerous here. Please return to the palace immediately!"

Inside the pavilion, Zhao Yu sat firmly on the dragon throne, motionless.

His gaze swept past the fierce battle below, past the dark mass of the Wolf Kingdom's army, and fixed intently on the high command platform in the distance.

"Hasn't he/she come yet? Or is he/she not coming at all?"

Seeing that Zhao Yu did not react, Meng Qianshan became extremely anxious and offered another word of advice.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here. Let me escort you back to the palace!"

"No rush."

Zhao Yu finally spoke, his voice eerily calm.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Suddenly, he saw a dozen dark figures wriggling in a blind spot behind the Wolf Commander's platform.

Those people wore the black armor of the Wolf Kingdom soldiers, but their movements were unusually furtive and out of place with their surroundings.

Zhao Yu's lips curled into a smile as he murmured to himself.

"Finally, I've been waiting for you, Xiaoyue Jinshang!"

If Xiaoyue Jinshang doesn't arrive soon, he will have no choice but to airdrop heavy cavalry. Although he will likely suffer heavy losses, there is still a high probability that he will behead the Wolf Lord!

Zhao Yu suddenly stood up, his voice rising abruptly.

"Meng Qianshan, the real battle has only just begun. Hold the line for me!"

Having said that, Zhao Yu's thoughts sank into his mind, opening the role-playing system's storage space.

"System, deploy 1,000 heavy cavalry, anchor at the deployment location, and deploy them within a 500-meter radius of the Wolf Lord's platform, forming an encirclement!"

[Deployment Location: Within a 500-meter radius around the Wolf Lord's high platform.]

[Deployment Unit: 1,000 heavily armored cavalry.]

[Distribution method: Distributed in four locations, 250 people at each location!]

……

Meanwhile, on a secluded hillside behind the battlefield.

A dozen or so huge, menacingly designed ballistae were covered by camouflage netting, their dark crossbow arms aimed at the Wolf Lord's command platform in the distance.

This is a Grandmaster-level city-destroying crossbow; each strike can easily pierce through the city wall. Such power is unmatched even by a Grandmaster.

Tuoba Hu stood beside Xiaoyue Jinshang, his voice trembling.

"Your Highness, are you really...really going to attack the wolf?"

His initial instigation of Xiaoyue Jinshang was merely to turn the Tuoba tribe into a frog in slowly boiling water, gradually declining.

Even so, it was nothing more than secretly leaking some information to the Liang Dynasty in exchange for benefits.

But now, after attacking the Wolf Lord, the Tuoba tribe only has two possibilities: first, the Wolf Lord dies, and Xiaoyue Jinshang successfully seizes the position of Wolf Lord among the descendants of many powerful figures.

Second, everyone will be wiped out... not a single chicken or dog will be left alive!

For Tuoba Hu, this matter was completely out of control!

"Hehe, Tuoba Hu, don't you understand? As long as my father is in power, I will never become the Wolf Lord."

The Tuoba tribe will never become a superior tribe!

Xiaoyue Jinshang sneered, his face full of gloom.

He ignored Tuoba Hu and gave a stern order.

"They've all got their eyes on the shoku-shiki!"

……

On the command platform of the Wolf Kingdom.

The wolf lord, his face grim, directed his infantry to launch wave after wave of attacks on the city.

For some reason, he always felt a persistent unease in his heart.

At that moment, a strong sense of crisis made the hairs on his body stand on end.

He turned his head abruptly.

An army suddenly appeared out of the blind spots in the front, left, and right directions!

Those were heavily armored cavalrymen, their horses and men completely encased in black armor, with only a pair of cold eyes visible.

The aura emanating from them was so powerful that it gave him the illusion that the person opposite him wasn't a group of people, but rather a single individual.

"The Great Liang Army?!"

The Wolf Lord was deeply shaken.

"Everyone is at the Innate Realm!"

How could the Emperor of Liang possess such a terrifying army!

"Protect the Emperor! There's an assassin!"

The two remaining guards beside the wolf lord roared, but it was too late.

The Xuanjia heavy cavalry moved faster than anyone could imagine, breaking through the outer defenses in the blink of an eye and crashing into the personal guard formation of the commander's platform.

The Wolf Lord was no fool; he roared and drew his scimitar, charging forward to meet the attack.

He slashed at the foremost cavalryman with his sword.

Ding!

The blade clashed with the opponent's long spear, producing a piercing, loud sound.

The heavy cavalryman was driven back along with his horse.

But the wolf lord's face did not show the joy of defeating the enemy; instead, it was even more somber.

He felt as if his attack had hit a net, his power being infinitely dispersed.

What should have been a fatal blow ended up only managing to repel the person.

Suddenly, the wolf lord seemed to understand something and looked around at the cavalry in horror.

"How is this possible! They're actually members of the Holy Army who have practiced the same cultivation technique together!"

As far as he knew, only the Qin state had a training method for armies that practiced a single set of techniques together!

Even so, the Qin state only had one infantry unit of three thousand men, the Qin Wuzu!

Because of his extraordinary combat prowess, he was recognized as a Holy Ruler!

I never expected that the Great Liang would have such a holy army!

And they are the most troublesome heavy cavalry!

The auras of these heavily armored cavalrymen were interconnected, resembling a mobile formation.

The formation can combine everyone's power into any one person, or it can distribute the damage received among everyone.

This combined attack formation can dramatically increase the attack power of any soldier.

In other words, he wasn't facing hundreds of people at the Innate Realm.

Instead, there are hundreds of monsters capable of unleashing a full-force attack at the Grandmaster level anytime, anywhere!

Ding ding ding!

Their internal strength clashed, sparks flew!

In less than two minutes, they had already exchanged over a hundred blows!

The wolf lord's hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly wretched.

Every time he swung his sword, it felt like he was hitting a wad of cotton; the force was instantly dissipated and distributed to the hundreds of cavalrymen around him.

But any cavalryman's thrusting spear carries the power of a grandmaster, capable of striking him unexpectedly.

Such a battle left him feeling breathless.

puff!

From an angle he didn't notice, a long spear pierced through the armor on his shoulder blade, drawing out a string of blood beads.

The intense pain caused him to groan, and with a backhand slash, he cleaved the cavalryman and his horse back several steps. However, the cavalryman only swayed slightly before regaining his balance and rejoining the formation.

Again!

The wolf lord felt a chill in his heart.

These heavily armored cavalrymen are impossible to kill!

Unless he can unleash a power that exceeds the limits of the entire army formation in an instant, any attack will be meaningless.

But he will face a relentless barrage of attacks that could cripple him in one blow.

The wolf king's eyes darted around as he was surrounded, trying to find a way to escape.
