I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

The attack was effective, but it also made him stagger back two steps.

"He's out of strength! Charge!"

"Kill him!"

Ursusese voices rang out from all directions, and Ye Wenshun raised his sword once more.

"Ha, how could I, Ye, allow you to take my life?"

He held a piece of pure source stone in his hand.

"If you want to take my life, I don't mind taking a few more down with me."

"Originium, Originium!"

Some sharp-eyed people recognized it.

"He! He's trying to self-destruct! He's a madman!"

"The Yan people are all crazy!"

The Ursus soldiers who had surged forward suddenly retreated, and no one dared to approach within several meters of Ye Wenshun.

"Warlock! Warlock! Kill him now!"

"Where are the crossbowmen? Fire! Fire!"

"As expected, they are thieves."

Looking at the Ursus soldiers in complete disarray, Ye Wenshun sighed deeply.

If he had more soldiers, would he have let them climb up this city?

"I am Ye Wenshun, the General Commander of Yumen Pass, a third-rank Protector-General of the Anxi Protectorate of the Great Yan Dynasty, personally appointed by the Emperor!"

Ye Wenshun raised the green sword in his hand, and the source stone in his palm emitted a strong energy fluctuation.

"You bear thief! Die!"

The next moment, a massive impact struck, and countless Ursus soldiers were routed.

"..."

What's this?

"You did a good job, General Ye."

That voice? It sounds so familiar...

"It's best to avoid things like Pure Origin Stones."

I... I'm not dead? How could that be?

Ye Wenshun struggled to suppress his fatigue and opened his eyes.

"Fortunately, I arrived not too late, and General Ye did not contract that stone disease."

Ye Wenshun felt that his eyes must be damaged.

How can there be two suns in the sky?

There may be two months in the sky, but there should not be two days.

No... that's not the sun...

That is……

He opened his eyes fully, wiping away the blood that had covered them.

The distant mountains changed shape, blocking the incoming cold wind.

A large hole appeared in the clouds in the sky, and sunlight streamed through it.

The sun he saw was that ray of light.

"Dragon... Lord..."

He recognized the person standing next to him.

When Ye Wenshun and his comrades from the mainland went to serve in the border region, it was he who came to see them off.

It was he who bestowed official titles upon them.

Now, he is the one who stands with them to protect the Great Yan.

"I am here, General Ye."

The dragon looked at him with tenderness and respect.

They deserve it.

"city……"

"We've held out. General Ye, you've held this place, you've held out Great Yan. You righteous men are the greatest heroes of Great Yan."

"In this way... all the brothers... have made it worthwhile..."

Ye Wenshun sighed contentedly and closed his eyes.

"Get some rest, General Ye."

During the day, he stood with his hands behind his back beside the city wall, gazing at the distant mountains.

"You all protected the Great Yan with your lives."

"Next, it will be up to the Great Yan to protect you all."

The Northern Sea Heavenly Pool lies dormant in the wilderness, separating heaven and earth like a mountain.

It crashed down from the sky, crushing Ursus's prized warships to pieces.

Armored and armed soldiers emerged from the city, and the generals and soldiers worked together to drive out the enemy.

In this battle, our Great Yan will surely win!

Returning to Jiu to oversee the battle

"Thus, the siege of Yumen was lifted."

Standing atop the city wall, watching the Ursus army flee in disarray, Bai Zhou clenched his fist, the lingering sensation still present.

The feeling of using the city as a weapon to attack people... is surprisingly good.

According to the original plan, it would take another seven or eight days for Beiming Tianchi to reach Yumen. During this period, Yumen would be the battlefield where the Anxi Protectorate Army and the Ursus Army would fight with all their might.

Unexpectedly, the weather changed suddenly, and heavy snow blocked the Protectorate Army's reinforcements halfway.

Fortunately, Bai Zhou used the plan his brother had told him: to use his true dragon form to lift the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool and fly it directly over, then throw it at the Ursus warship fleet upon arrival, thus relieving the siege of Yumen in time.

Of course, to prevent the embarrassing situation where the impact of the landing didn't kill many Ursus people but instead wiped out half of the city's army, Bai Zhou activated the arcane energy embedded throughout the city in advance to create a buffer zone and reduce the impact of the feedback.

In addition, the soldiers were equipped with new armor that reduced the impact of attacks, which enabled Bai Zhou to successfully launch the Celestial Judgment this time.

"The results are good. We can study it further and perhaps develop a safer and more effective capability in the future."

"What works well?"

The immortal in golden armor leaped up the city wall, just in time to hear what Bai Zhou had said.

"We're just considering how to throw weapons more effectively. But has Sister been injured while charging into battle?"

"With Xiaobai protecting me, how could I possibly get hurt?"

Nian patted his Arcane Armor, a smile on his face.

"Now that the situation on the front lines is settled, there's nothing for me to do, so I've come back."

She didn't really like killing, but she had no choice; her identity was constantly forcing her to get used to it.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister. Please get some rest. Now all we need to do is wait for news of victory."

Looking at the Yan army who had already begun cleaning up the battlefield, Bai Zhou said this.

"Good news! A great victory!"

"Your Majesty! Our army has won three victories in three battles! We have defeated 100,000 enemy troops and captured over 3,000 prisoners! We have also seized countless weapons and supplies!"

Upon receiving the good news, all the officials in the court were overjoyed and full of praise.

"Very good! Very good!"

The worries that had accumulated over many days dissipated, and his furrowed brows finally relaxed. However, Zhenlong suddenly had a whim and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Upon seeing the dragon sigh, a minister asked:

"The army has achieved a great victory; why does Your Majesty sigh?"

The True Dragon said:

"It would be best if the army were victorious, but in these three battles, although countless enemies were defeated, how many of our Yan soldiers were lost? How many of their families and relatives could not return home?"

"Therefore, although I heard the good news, I was saddened."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers were moved by his words, and bowed again, shouting:

"Your Majesty's grace!"

After the court assembly adjourned, the True Dragon drafted another decree, outlining various important matters, and dispatched imperial guards to deliver it to the Northern Underworld Heavenly Pool, to be circulated among the three armies to boost morale.

"Oh, this dragon is quite nice; it knows how to appreciate the hardships of soldiers."

The immortal lay prostrate behind Bai Zhou, watching the imperial edict arrive with him.

Upon seeing the various rewards for the soldiers listed above, the immortal couldn't help but express his feelings.

“Adu has always done a very good job in these aspects, so I don’t need to worry too much about handing over the Great Yan to him.”

Having read through the memorial during the day and heard the words of the immortal, he also praised the true dragon.

"Hmph, although it's not bad, it's still far from what Xiaobai did back then."

The immortal embraced Baiyue tightly and praised him affectionately.

"Times have changed. The administrative methods I used back then may not be applicable now."

Seemingly feeling that talking about things she hadn't understood for many years would upset her, Bai Zhou briefly mentioned it a couple of times before changing the subject.
