Chapter 411: We must not hesitate!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

...

Princess Shan Yu's tent was some distance away from her administrative tent. After all, her tent kept moving.

This was common practice for any army.

It was to ensure the safety of the commander.

When Princess Shan Yu heard the order from the Sagely Mountain City, she was slightly worried. However, she stopped herself in her tracks.

Then, she looked at the pole in her hand.

"Supernatural State... wooden pole?" Princess Shan Yu muttered to herself. Then, her eyes brightened as she entered her tent.

Inside the tent.

Fang Zhengzhi closed his eyes and lay on the bed unmoving. He looked like a lamb waiting to be killed.

"Get someone in here!" Princess Shan Yu smirked.

"Yes, your highness, what may I do for you?" One of the soldiers entered.

"Bring this fella to the meeting."

"Ah? Yes, your highness!"

...

The administrative tent was already filled with two rows of generals. There were a few hundred soldiers guarding the tent.

The order had come from the Sagely Mountain City.

Even though they were not privy to the details, they knew that there were orders that awaited them.

"Your highness!"

"Your highness!"

"..."

Princess Shan Yu approached the tent. The chatter outside the tent had hints of admiration and surprise.

Behind Princess Shan Yu were four soldiers. These four soldiers carried and unconscious Fang Zhengzhi on a leather stretcher.

"Isn't that Fang Zhengzhi from the Great Xia?"

"What is he doing here?"

All of the soldiers could not understand what was happening.

Until...

Princess Shan Yu entered the tent.

The four soldiers carrying Fang Zhengzhi followed closely behind.

This stumped all of the soldiers. The looked at each other in confusion.

Fang Zhengzhi was well known throughout the entire camp. After all, his battle with General Tai was extremely intense.

News of that duel spread and Fang Zhengzhi became quite the celebrity.

This was also a factor in their confusion.

Who was Fang Zhengzhi?

He was a rank four official in the Great Xia.

Where were they? They were at Princess Shan Yu's administrative tent! Previously, this may not have raised many eyebrows...

But now... they were at war.

More importantly, this meeting was to discuss the order from the Sagely Mountain City. How could an outsider be present at the meeting?

When the generals inside the tent saw Fang Zhengzhi, they were stunned as well.

The four soldiers carrying the stretcher sensed the suspicions of the generals. However, they continued to follow their orders and placed Fang Zhengzhi on the ground before taking their leave.

"Princess, what... what is this?" One of the generals asked hesitantly.

"He still hasn't woken up." Princess Shan Yu waved the generals off rather frustratedly before taking her seat at the head of the meeting.

All of the generals looked at each other, unsure of what was happening.

They knew exactly what the Princess meant, but they were not asking about the status of Fang Zhengzhi. Their pressing question had yet to be answered.

But...

It did help to ameliorate their worry.

They did not want their tactics to be heard by Fang Zhengzhi. Since he was still comatose, he would not be able to hear them.

"The Demons have gone back on their word and surrounded the capital with 50,000 soldiers. Our 20,000 strong guard is being trapped. We have 80,000 elite soldiers here. However... it would still be a hard-fought battle. Princess, are we getting reinforcements?"

One of the generals stepped forward and reported the current situation. After all, they couldn't afford any delay.

"Our soldiers would have to pass through the Icy Monkey Settlement to reinforce us and that settlement is controlled by the Great Xia. They will not reach us in time. I think we should head straight to the capital and relieve the pressure on the Crown Prince!"

"Yes, we have been stationed here to prevent a sneak attack from the Great Xia or the Demons!"

"Even though this will be a Pyrrhic victory, if we can make our way into the capital, we can hold it for at least half a month!"

"Yes, that will be enough time for the rest of our troops to retake the Icy Monkey Settlement and come to reinforce us!"

All of the generals began to express their views. Time was the essence here, but they still had to wait for Princess Shan Yu's orders.

Princess Shan Yu continued to remain silent as she listened to the opinions of her generals

"Princess, you must not hesitate any longer! The guards will not last long! If we do not reinforce them soon, the Crown Prince and the King... will fall to the Demons. Then..."

"Princess, please give the order!"

"We are willing to lay down our lives in the defense of the Sagely Mountain City!"

All of the generals became increasingly anxious when they saw that Princess Shan Yu was not speaking.

"Princess!"

"Princess, this is urgent..."

"Princess!"

Voices echoed throughout the tent.

Princess Shan Yu continued to remain silent. Her eyes glimmered. She knew that this was urgent.

But...

That was also why she had to remain calm and composed.

These changes were rather suspicious.

50,000 Demons marched through the night to siege the Sagely Mountain City. It was dawn now, eight hours since the attack.

Eight hours...

How did the army of 20,000 manage to hold the city?

Intel reported that the Demons had only managed to conquer half the city. The other half was still in the Crown Prince's control.

What was happening?

This was one of the suspicious points.

Princess Shan Yu also had another unsettling feeling.

If the Demons had hidden 50,000 soldiers here...

Their first target should have been her 80,000 elites.

Not the Sagely Mountain City!

The reason was simple.

Her 80,000 elite soldiers were only hidden from the Great Xia. It was way too easy for the Demons to know about and pinpoint their location.

Furthermore, the Sagely Mountain City was on top of the mountain and defended by nature. It was not easy to attack.

However, that was not the most important point...

They would definitely realize if the Sagely Mountain City was burning...

This didn't seem right.

The Demons would never reveal their motives before the war was over...

Princess Shan Yu frowned as she bit her lip. She felt like there was more to this than met the eye.

But what was the plot?

She could not tell.

But she was sure of one thing.

The highly intelligent Yun Qingwu, Young Master of the Demons, would never make such a mistake.

What was happening?

"Princess, if you don't give the order now, it'll be too late!"

"Princess! We have already lost half the city! If the Crown Prince and the King are captured, we will lose the initiative!"

All of the generals couldn't help themselves as they pleaded with the Princess. They were all riled up and ready for battle.

Princess Shan Yu frowned as a red aura circled her. Cloud writing also began to gather at her chest.

This meant that she was in a bad mood.

The Sagely Mountain City had been surrounded.

How could she not be worried?

Her beloved father was there, and so was her third brother. More importantly, they were the king and heir respectively.

However, she could not take action before she knew exactly what was happening.

The heir and the king were in the city.

But she had 80,000 of the Southern Region elites. A single command would send them into battle. But if they fell...

What was she going to do?

"Do you all have any other opinions other than charging towards the city?" Princess Shan Yu spoke up.

"Princess, the city is surrounded and we have been ordered to reinforce the Crown Prince. What cause for hesitation is there?" One of the generals was confused.

"Yes, we cannot hesitate any longer!"

"Princess, please give the order!"

All of the other generals began to chime in, urging Princess Shan Yu to march on the Demons.
