...
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!”
