Chapter 928: Duke Jingguo also kills pirates

Kaiji Keizo snorted coldly.

"I don't believe that a secular army could have the means to kill disciples of our sect."

"Please, Master Jingsan, face the reality. Otherwise, where are the other two masters?"

Atsumi Akiyama dared to say this because he relied on his father, who was also a high-ranking figure in the hidden sect.

Kaiji Keizo glanced at her.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"Please, Master Jingsan, return to the sect and report the current situation. We will send reinforcements and try to capture Lin Feng in one fell swoop. Do not underestimate this talent anymore."

Kaiji Keizo sighed.

"Alas, if I go back like this, there will be no good results. The sect rules are not to be taken lightly."

Atsumi Akiyama's father was also in a hidden sect, so he knew a lot about these sects.

Like the one in front of him, Hai Lu Jingsan, who is over seventy years old, has been eliminated from the sect. He no longer focuses on cultivation on weekdays, but instead becomes the person in charge of the sect's external affairs.

Specialized in handling matters outside of the sect.

He, Kondo Tenshin and Monmonosuke all play similar roles.

The true geniuses and young disciples with great potential in the sect will not waste time dealing with trivial matters outside the sect.

Similarly, most of the disciples from the hidden sects in the Central Plains and western mountainous areas who appeared outside were similar characters.

Although the secluded sects ignore the secular world, they cannot tolerate resistance from the secular world, even from the royal family.

They have placed their sects and disciples above the secular world, and they are no longer the same as ordinary people, having achieved the status of semi-immortals.

Kaiji Jingsan and others have been treated like this by the people in the secular world. If they return to the sect, they will definitely not have a good time.

Therefore, he was very hesitant about whether to go and find Lin Feng by himself, or to grit his teeth and accept the punishment from the sect to avoid this inexplicable bloody disaster.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Atsumi Akiyama pondered for a moment.

"Master Jingsan, why don't you go find the various factions in the Central Plains, tell them about Lin Feng's power, and ask them to send their experts..."

Hai Lu Jing San clapped his hands. "That's right. These guys moved too fast, not waiting for the consequences. They caused huge losses and must bear the consequences."

"Since that's the case, we will no longer attack Jingnan Prefecture. Seeing that the Zhenxi Army has occupied most of the southern region, Master Jingsan must implement the plan as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Kaiji Keizo had already stood up, leaning on a long cane in his hand, and turned to walk out of the tent.

"Don't worry, if you can just hold on for a few more days, that little thief Lin Feng won't live long..."

As he spoke, his figure disappeared into the darkness outside the tent.

Atsumi Akiyama waited for a moment.

"Come here, tell everyone to retreat to Funing City overnight."

Someone outside the tent responded, and then the entire large tent fell silent.

On the city wall of Jingnan Prefecture, General Nangong Yan was nervously leading his guards and marching forward along the south gate.

He was worried about the soldiers on the city wall.

The pirates' soldiers are not only fierce, but also fast at climbing walls, fierce in fighting, and have outstanding personal abilities.

In just one day, pirates climbed up such a high and thick city wall twice.

They paid the price of hundreds of soldiers' lives and fought desperately to drive the pirates off the wall.

The city defense was almost lost.

When facing pirates, if the city is breached, the result that awaits them is massacre.

No one in the city will survive.

This is not conjecture, but a bloody lesson learned by these southern capitals.

After nightfall, heavy rain suddenly fell, extinguishing the torches on the city wall and plunging the entire city into darkness.

The armor was washed by the rain, and a flash of light occasionally appeared in the darkness.

All the soldiers of the government army stayed at their respective posts, paying close attention to the movements below the city.

After Nangong Yan led his men around the city wall, they temporarily rested under the city tower.

He has already sent people to Xuncheng to look for Lin Feng for help.

I informed Lin Feng in advance and asked him to leave Jingnan City. No matter what the result was, I was secretly helping Lin Feng.

Now that the Jingnan Prefecture City has been attacked by a large number of pirates, only the Zhenxi Army stationed in Xuncheng can lend them a hand.

Even though there are only more than 10,000 pirates, Nangong Yan has deeply felt their bravery over the past two days. The 5,000-strong government troops really can't hold out for a few days.

If Lin Feng did not lend a helping hand, Jingnan City would not be able to defend itself even if it tried its best.

Nangong Yan hadn't slept for two days and one night. This was the second night, and he was still nervously staying on the city wall, refusing to go down.

The families of these generals and soldiers in front of him are all in the city. Like his own family, they rely on him to protect this only safe place.

Looking at the entire Dazong, apart from the eight prefectures in Zhenxi, where else is there a safe place?

If it weren't for the prefect Zhao Chuanzhi's reluctance to let go, Nangong Yan would have sent his family to the eight prefectures in Zhenxi long ago.

Zhao Chuanzhi's theory is that only when your family is in the city will you work hard to protect Jingnan Prefecture.

It's not that there is no truth to it, it's just that the facts are a bit cruel and ruthless.

Nangong Yan was pondering the current situation.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly.

"General Nangong, there's movement outside the city."

Nangong Yan immediately ran forward, ran to the battlement, and stuck his head out.

There was a sound of armor colliding behind him. Nangong Yan raised his hand and waved it vigorously, signaling everyone not to move and keep quiet.

The heavy rain hit the city walls and armor, making crackling sounds.

In the distance below the city, there were faint sounds of war horses neighing and armor and weapons colliding.

It was obvious that the pirate army was mobilizing, and it was unclear whether they were going to attack the city overnight or make tactical arrangements.

Nangong Yan waved his hand: "Order all the troops on the city to take their positions and prepare to counterattack the pirates' attack on the city."

There was a sound of armor rustling, and the messenger strode to both sides along the city wall.

The soldiers of the palace army huddled in the corners of the city walls were fast asleep with their shields propped against their heads.

They were so tired that they dared not go down the city to rest day or night. These days they all stayed on the city wall, holding their posts.

A messenger began shouting loudly and ran forward along the city wall.

All the soldiers were awakened, dropped their shields, and quickly regained consciousness as the cold rain hit their cheeks.

With a bow and sword in hand, he quickly walked to the outside of the city wall and looked out to see what was happening below.

In the entire Jingnan City, all 5,000 prefectural troops were ready for battle.

Nangong Yan also held a long knife, leaned on the battlement of the city wall, closed his eyes, and lay on his back, letting the rain hit his face.

"Listen carefully, even if we die, we cannot let the pirates climb the wall. Our parents, wives, and children are still in the city. If we let the pirates in, think about what will happen..."

No one spoke, but everyone could feel a majestic and sad atmosphere spreading around, so heavy that it made people breathless.

Suddenly, someone beside Nangong Yan asked softly.

"General, why did you drive Duke Jingguo out of Jingnan Prefecture?"

Nangong Yan was stunned, and before he could answer, someone else asked.

"Yes, General, if Duke Jingguo is in the city, there is no need to fear pirates."

"General, Duke Jingguo is on our side and also kills pirates."

"General..."
