Kong Xiu, this was the name Xiu'er had given him. Since she had no way to clarify the relationship between him and that man in her entire life, she might as well be more straightforward.

At this time, Kong Xiu was seated at the head of the table. On her left was the Madame Fu and on her right was a muscular man called Hu Hu. Madame Fu introduced everyone at the table, and all of them were people who held important positions in the Demonic Beast Clan. Kong Xiu understood that this table of people was the core of the Demonic Beast Clan, while Madame Fu and Hu Hu were his hands, arms, and shoulders.

Looking at the people from the Demonic Beast Clan on the table, Kong Xiu laughed bitterly in her heart. When she heard the three words "Demonic Beast Clan" and her previous understanding of Demonic Beast, she unconsciously felt that she would be eating at the same table as a group of foxes, rabbits, tigers, and elephants. However, she did not expect that all of them would be handsome men and women. Compared to them, even the more serious humans were slightly inferior in terms of looks and stature.

But at the same time, she also felt their loyalty and joy. This was the kind of connection that came from a bloodline, the kind of loyalty and joy that would never betray. However, Kong Xiu was also hesitating, she could feel the impulse in the hearts of everyone present. Maybe because Demonic Beast Clan had lived for too long, they thought too highly of their "King". In their hearts, the arrival of the Her Highness Kong Xiu was equivalent to the words "Demonic Beast Clan Revival", "One Thousand Year Old Regeneration", "Third Pole of the Continent", and other such words that would cause their blood to boil with excitement. Although no one said it directly, Xiu'er could still see the yearning and longing in their eyes.

Kong Xiu was at a loss in her heart. After going through such a cruel battle, she didn't know how she could persuade them to let go of this thought. Although Demonic Beast s were strong, they were limited by their numbers. Perhaps, they could win in a partial battle or even an overwhelming victory. But when this army is placed on a vast battlefield, it is difficult to do much.

On the other hand, it was very difficult for the name and image of Demonic Beast Clan to gain the approval of the common people. Regardless of whether it was Moqiu State or not, they had only sculpted the image of the divine beast for others to worship. From the emperor and the officials below Messenger of God, all of the senior and junior levels were still borne by humans. For ordinary people, they would only change their rulers. They might not be used to it, but it was still acceptable. But what about Demonic Beast Clan? High leveled Demonic Beast s were still okay, as they were after all human beings, but what about the middle and low leveled ones? Even if they weren't officials, who would be willing to be neighbours with a monster with a beast's head and body?

That's right, the word Kong Xiu used in the depths of her heart was indeed "monster", because she believed that this was indeed the first reaction that a normal person would have when seeing Demonic Beast Clan.

To the people with Demonic Beast Clan that were scarce, the battlefield was unfavorable and was not recognized. Any one of these two aspects could lead to the extinction of their race.

Looking at the passionate and eager eyes beside him, Kong Xiu could feel the passion in their hearts and their desire to travel. She also understood why they wanted to do what they did. After all, it was too difficult for the races that lived in the cracks to survive. They would not let go of any opportunity to expand or prove themselves. However, she didn't know how to convince them to wait and see, to solve all their problems.

Hu Hu raised his large cup of wine and said to Kong Xiu with a smile, "Your Highness, let me toast you again! I hope that our Demonic Beast Clan can soar to the skies under the guidance of Your Highness, and can flourish for thousands of years from now on! "

"Cheers!"

"Well said!"

With that said, everyone around applauded him and raised their cups to toast Kong Xiu. Kong Xiu felt a bit helpless, but she still raised her wine cup to toast everyone, and smiled to welcome everyone's smiles.

After the banquet, the Madame Fu led Kong Xiu back to her room to rest. She handed a cup of hot tea to her and said softly, "Your Highness does not need to worry too much. This kind of decision, it's enough for His Highness to make, there's no need to pay too much attention to them. "

Kong Xiu held the cup with both of her hands, and shook her head slightly, "Will they support a king who doesn't have any ambitions?" Her tone was filled with frustration and bitterness.

Madame Fu took a step back and bowed towards Kong Xiu. "Your Highness! Please do not doubt the loyalty Demonic Beast Clan to you! No matter what it is, and no matter what it is, as long as you say it, Demonic Beast Clan is willing to go through fire and water! "

Kong Xiu's face was still as bleak as before, "Actually, the one you two are loyal to is only your bloodline, and not me ~ ~ ~"

"Your Highness ~ ~ ~" Madame Fu was stunned for a moment, then deeply lowered her head, her muffled voice sounded out, "Your Highness, do not belittle yourself, you have the three great bloodlines, how can you be an average person?"

Kong Xiu suddenly laughed, and a helpless smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Madame Fu, so it turns out that you also wished for me to achieve great things."

Without waiting for Madame Fu to explain, Kong Xiu said indifferently: "I'm a little tired. Let's talk tomorrow if you have something to say."

Madame Fu slowly stood up, looked meaningfully at Kong Xiu for a moment, then bowed and left the room.

"Madame Fu, wait." Kong Xiu shouted to stop the Madame Fu, "I remember you promised Sir Kong Sheng that you had a way to restrain the Demonic Beast Soldier, I don't know ~"

Madame Fu stopped and replied: "I do not dare to forget this matter, I hope that Your Highness can rest first. Tomorrow morning, I will make the necessary arrangements." With that said, Madame Fu bowed once again. She reached out to close the door and slowly walked away.

Kong Xiu sat by the window with the teacup in her arms, she raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. This was the first time she was looking at the moon from the depths of her Wulian Mountain Range. The bamboo house that Kong Xiu lived in was in a secluded corner of the town. Accompanied by the sound of insects chirping and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves like rain, the night in the mountain seemed especially quiet.

At that moment, Kong Xiu suddenly thought of Kong Sheng, the person who she did not know how to face and get along with, how was he?

Kong Sheng's life wasn't too good.

After half a day of adjustment, on the night of the second day, the Moqiu State Army launched a surprise attack.

An entire two squads of Demonic Beast Soldier took advantage of the pitch-black night to rush to the walls of the Phoenix City Pass. Using their strong and vigorous bodies, they climbed up the city walls without any siege equipment. In almost a single exchange, the people's militia soldiers who had relaxed for the day were completely defeated. Fortunately, Ling Zilu had just gone over and was able to hear the noise. He immediately brought his cavalry back and started to charge together on the city walls. A few riders even rode their horses and knocked the Demonic Beast Soldier off the city wall. At the same time, they blew the whistle of the police, luring a large number of reinforcements up the city wall.

Under the desperate fighting and the reinforcements that arrived in time, the group of Demonic Beast Soldier was pushed back. They threw away the dozens of corpses and ran away in panic. More than four hundred people's militia soldiers on night watch had died, more than twenty Red Camp Knight s on patrol had lost their lives, and even though Master Ling Zilu had received four blade strikes from Red Camp, they were unable to bring their troops out of the battlefield within a short period of time.

Commander Kong Sheng was furious, and immediately beheaded the head of the provincial people's militia Captain. He ordered Vice Commander Zhao Handong to raise the requirements for the night people's militia, and the thousand li of dike collapsed in an ant cave. If not for Master Ling Zilu saving them in time, once this section of the city wall was broken, the possibility of him losing his Phoenix City Pass was very high!

By the time he finished dealing with all of this, the sky was already bright. Kong Sheng opened his bloodshot eyes wide, looking at the moon which was about to set. He sighed in his heart.

After daybreak, the Moqiu Army launched another attack. This time, they clearly reaffirmed that they had gone through military discipline. No matter how Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi provoked them, the entire troop's tempo was not in the slightest disarray. The only thing that changed was that there were always three to five squads of cavalry stationed at the left and right of the army. The moment Chen Chu cast another shot at Moqiu Soldier's corpse, they would immediately drag it away and carefully retract it and send it to the rear of the army.

Qu Feizhi saw it clearly, and pouted at Chen Chu: "You see, this trick of yours isn't good, right?"

Chen Chu shook his head slightly, "Sure, it's not bad if we can drag it out for one day."

Qu Feizhi laughed: "It's fortunate that you took the entire day to make Lord Kong a little happier, or else we would have been screwed."

His words were not wrong. Regarding the two's wanton actions yesterday morning, Kong Sheng did not pursue it. In fact, he did not even mention about it at the regular meeting that night. From Qu Feizhi's point of view, this was actually a signal. As long as it could stop the attack of the Moqiu Army, the Lord Kong could make some concessions regarding some of the details. However, Chen Chu felt that this actually showed how difficult the current situation was. Moqiu Army's offensive was like a tide, Phoenix City Pass's combat ability was worrisome, and the imperial city's support was not coming late either.

Chen Chu said indifferently: "This time, it's different from the last time."

Qu Feizhi understood what he meant. Last time, they had arrived due to a Moqiu Army attack, causing an accident on the part of the high-ranking officer. Kong Sheng and the others were already determined to die, if they were not afraid of death, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

But this time was different, Kong Sheng had the troops and the rights to command, but he was still unable to defeat the opponent. The current Kong Sheng was easily angered, but quietly allowed Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi to cross the line, as though he would show magnanimity in everything that was useful to the battle, which was different from the strict military award Kong Sheng from before.

Chen Chu understood that this was a kind of despair, a kind of despair that even if he used all his strength, he would still not be able to defeat his opponent. Kong Sheng originally thought that the other party would have a few days of handover cycle, so he would think of a way to delay them for a few more days. However, he never expected that the Moqiu Army would not follow the rules. Rather than saying that the letter from the important person was overbearing and unreasonable, it could be said to be a strategy. After they allowed Kong Sheng's mental state to ease up a bit, they quickly dispatched troops to commit the crime. Furthermore, the moment they attacked, they immediately made huge movements, not leaving any room for thought for the rest of the Phoenix City Pass.

At this moment, Kong Sheng might be blaming himself for believing in Moqiu State too much, but he was also feeling despair, and could not see the slightest hint of despair. He did not know how long he could last, and even more so, did not know if he could persevere.

Without giving the two more thoughts to think, Moqiu Army had already entered their range of attack. Although Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi could be considered to have 'dominated' these stone thrower s, they did not dare to use any more tricks. They honestly used throwing stones at them in order to reduce the pressure on the defending troops on the city wall. In this attack, even though his Moqiu Army were truly on fire, he had still put in some effort.

The Light Infantry soldiers did not care about the casualties as they quickly approached. Over ten thousand handheld crossbow s shot at the walls, causing the defending troops to be unable to use all sorts of defensive weapons. Afterwards, the famous heavy armor infantry appeared, they used their huge shields to form the Shield Array, and rushed under the wall while enduring the rain of arrows and falling stones. Then, the Shield Array split apart to the left and right, and many gigantic climbing stairs were taken up by trees. More than ten heavy armor infantry soldiers, each with armor weighing at least three to four hundred jin, were firmly holding onto them. Immediately after, the Demonic Beast Soldier s rushed out from the heavy armor s. With the help of the climbing stairs, they rushed up the city wall in a few breaths' time and waved their sharp claws and scimitars at the terrified city guards.

The walls were already in chaos. The wild attacks of the Demonic Beast Soldier with powerful individual military capability s had caused the people's militia soldiers to have no chance at all to throw slabs, rolling logs, kerosene s, and purified feces s downwards. Without any pressure, the light infantry mixed in with the Demonic Beast Soldier and climbed up the city walls, using their shields to build up their position step by step.

The walls were in complete chaos. The soldiers of the three people's militia divisions screamed miserably as they ran. Some of them even jumped down the walls to avoid the claws of the Demonic Beast Soldier, completely disregarding everything else. The soldiers guarding the group city could only futilely shoot their bows and arrows. As long as the Shield Array s were not directly hit, they could ignore any other attacks. Under such strong defense, one breakthrough after another was established, and countless light infantry soldiers began to climb up the city wall. In a short period of time, more than thirty spots had been broken through.

Looking from afar, the entire Phoenix City Pass of the outer city wall seemed like a lump of square candy that was filled with ants.

Before the Phoenix City Border Army Warriors who had rushed over to assist had the chance to call for help, they had no choice but to stop midway and deal with the city walls which had just been broken through. As for the heavy cavalry that had just received an emergency notice, they were blocked off by the people's militia soldiers who were scurrying around, unable to charge up the city wall at all. Kong Sheng, who was personally leading the group for Ling Zilu, was so angry that he started to curse loudly, but his voice was directly drowned out by the chaos of the crowd.

Chen Chu turned around and walked out without saying a word. Qu Feizhi grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't abandon me this time, you should go and enjoy yourself, throw me here and look at a rock, you're not loyal."

Chen Chu turned around and laughed bitterly, "You want to die? You're going too? "

Qu Feizhi laughed mischievously. "Who hasn't died yet?
