C1878 Entering Gu Dao City

Article 1878 - Advance to Ancient Path City

The White Tiger Sect and the anxious Vermillion Bird Sect soldiers fought for a full five days and five nights.

In the end, the White Tiger Sect army lost more than a million people.

The Vermillion Bird Sect was completely destroyed.

There was no lack of secret help from the dragons.

The White Tiger Sect and the others did not notice it at all.

They all thought that the people from the Vermillion Bird Sect were homeless dogs, and didn't have the confidence and courage to fight them.

When they obtained the victory that they thought was unprecedentedly glorious, their confidence was bursting out.

Zhang Xing did not hold back his words and praised them greatly.

The soldiers felt that they had become qualified iron-blooded soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.

Although they still had family views in their hearts, they were much thinner.

Because Zhang Xing had emphasized more than once that we are a whole.

If you follow me, you will be the Zhang Family Army.

If you are still divided into factions like the Li Family Army and the Wang Family Army, then you will not be far from death.

They also know the principle of unity, which can reduce the chances of death.

In the past, there was a commander who took the lead and didn't want them to be united.

Now, no one dared to disobey Zhang Xing's orders.

The discordant voices in the army had unknowingly disappeared.

No one knew how they had disappeared.

Even if some of the commanders secretly investigated, they still had no clue.

Of course, if Black Treasure and the other Godly State dragons were to find out about it, it would be like seeing a ghost.

After crossing the border, the Ancient Path City that Zhang Xing had been to was right in front of them.

The news of the border failing was quickly spread to this place.

The people in Gu Dao City were instantly in a state of panic.

Many large families' chambers of commerce began to evacuate as a whole.

The Suzaku Army's emergency reinforcements were sent one after another to the rear.

In these three years, the total number of troops at the border had already reached more than 15 million.

They thought that so many troops were enough.

At least not for ten years or eight years.

Hence, the Ancient Path City's military strength was only a little over two million.

No one would have thought that they would be defeated after fighting with the White Tiger Army for around twenty days.2

And the news of their complete annihilation was unbelievable.

Of course, the news of the 20 days of battle was still spread out by the Ancient Path City, Mayor's Moonsabre and Sikong Jian for the sake of their face.

If the people from the various large families in the sect found out that it wasn't twenty days, they would only have six days.

Then they would definitely take the lead to empty their property and escape with their families.

Once they left, would the others be able to stay?

It did not mean that the Sikong Jian was counting on them to defend the city.

It was that these Family all had Guardsmen.

These people were experts of the sage realm.

The strength of the defenders would be reduced by a third if they weren't there.

In that case, there was no need to defend anymore. All of them would roll up their covers and escape.

Time was of the essence. From the border to the Ancient Path City, it would only take the vanguard of the White Tiger Army a month to arrive.

If the higher-ups did not send reinforcements in time during this month...

Then, the Sikong Jian decided to give up defending the city.

Letting him have this bit of strength to defend the city was just a joke.

Deputy Commander and Yan Tianci's fifteen million strong army had all died.

His life and death were still unknown. What did you ask the Sikong Jian to use to fight against Zhang Xing's army?

Time passed day by day in torment.

There was no news from above, and not a single soldier came to reinforce them.

The Sikong Jian was burning with anxiety.

He knew that the Vermilion Bird Army's efficiency had always been high.

They never delayed.

They should have received an urgent order from their superiors ten days ago.

But now, twenty days had passed, and there was still no news.

Was he going to give up on the Ancient Path City?

The Sikong Jian began to arrange the retreat.
