The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Faced with the barbarian emperor's endless chatter, even the seasoned Iron Mountain moved his lips a few times, but was too embarrassed to say anything, and just kept waving his hands.

The barbarian emperor thought that Tie Shanyue was just being modest, so in front of all the civil and military officials, he pulled him to the side of the dragon throne and even signaled the eunuchs to add a seat for Tie Shanyue next to the dragon throne.

The entire audience was shocked.

Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, only the Imperial Preceptor, who was currently resting with his eyes closed, was qualified to be granted a seat by the Barbarian Emperor.

Tieshan Yue is the second one.

What kind of treatment is this?

Tie Shanyue was pulled to a seat by the Barbarian Emperor, and became even more embarrassed. He tried to stand up, but the Barbarian Emperor pressed him down.

The Barbarian Emperor's gaze swept across the entire assembly, his voice imbued with spiritual power, clearly reaching the deepest recesses of the ears of all the civil and military officials: "A year ago, our General Tie decisively defeated the first generation of the Northern Garrison Army, and today he has once again decisively defeated the second generation of the Northern Garrison Army. His achievements are truly remarkable! I hereby declare that from now on, he shall be the Grand Marshal of the Barbarian Kingdom!"

Then, the Barbarian Emperor lowered his head, his gaze falling on Tie Shanyue: "Speak, what other rewards do you want? As long as it's not too outrageous, I can grant it."

However, the next moment, Tie Shanyue knelt down with a thud.

Then, the civil and military officials heard Tie Shanyue stammer out four words: "This battle has been lost!"

Lost?

The civil and military officials were dumbfounded. How could the 300,000-strong Tie family army, full of morale, possibly lose to the 100,000 remnants of the second-generation Zhenbei Army?

Many people thought Tie Shanyue was joking, but seeing him kneeling on the ground with a serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

Have we really lost?

The light in the Barbarian Emperor's eyes vanished instantly when he looked at Tie Shanyue, but under everyone's watchful eyes, he still helped Tie Shanyue up from the ground: "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Losing a small battle occasionally and losing a few thousand men is nothing. General Tie, you don't need to feel too guilty."

Seeing Tie Shanyue's lips move a few times, as if he wanted to say something but stopped, the Barbarian Emperor frowned slightly: "Could it be that tens of thousands of people were directly lost? That would be a bit unacceptable, but it's only a minor injury, not a serious one."

Tie Shanyue knew he couldn't wait any longer, and instantly put on a dramatic act, tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, this old minister is sorry for you, sorry for the entire barbarian kingdom. My 300,000-strong Tie family army has been completely wiped out in this battle!"

boom!

Tie Shanyue's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking the barbarian emperor and his officials.

The 300,000-strong Iron Family Army was undoubtedly the most formidable force in the Barbarian Kingdom, and also the greatest source of its confidence in its ambition to annex the Great Zhou Dynasty...

"General Tie, this joke isn't funny at all!"

The barbarian emperor's brows were completely furrowed, and his face was unusually gloomy, almost dripping with water.

Tie Shanyue cried even harder, unable to speak.

Clearly, he wasn't joking.

"Three hundred thousand against one hundred thousand, and you really wiped out my entire army? Did someone drug your Iron Family Army's farewell feast, rendering them unable to even draw their swords, leaving them to be slaughtered like pigs and dogs?"

The barbarian emperor shoved Tie Shanyue down. In his eyes, Tie Shanyue, who had suffered a great defeat, was not worthy of standing and was only worthy of kneeling to reply.

Tie Shanyue dared not be negligent and replied with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, Qin Changye is simply too cunning. He first pretended to be weak to take advantage of others, killing many top experts in the Tie family army. Then he suddenly invited many top experts, and even the Silver Eagle Demon King from the Heavenly Demon Valley."

His words caused a huge sensation.

In their minds, Qin Changye was so young, yet he possessed the strength to kill a group of top-tier combatants.

This is even more valiant than his father, the undefeated war king, in his youth!

What shocked them the most was that Qin Changye was actually able to subdue the silver eagle in the Heavenly Demon Valley.

Their skills in beast taming were unmatched, even by the most skilled beast tamers in their barbarian kingdom.

In the imperial court, the Grand Preceptor, whose face was young but whose hair was completely white, had been resting with his eyes closed. Even when he heard that the Tie family army had been wiped out, his expression did not change.

Upon hearing that Qin Changye had subdued the silver eagle, his eyes snapped open, radiating a sharp light.

Tie Shanyue paused for a moment, then continued in detail: "Under Qin Changye's leadership, the second generation of the Zhenbei Army showed its full strength. I deliberately avoided their sharp edge and cleverly devised a plan to lure Qin Changye and the entire second generation of the Zhenbei Army into Black Stone Valley. My intention was to activate the Soul Devouring Array and wipe them out in one fell swoop, but..."

At this point, Tie Shanyue's old face showed an extremely incredulous expression: "As a result, those remnant souls not only did not kill the second generation of the Zhenbei Army, but instead attacked our Tie family army. Even though I led the charge and fought bravely, we still could not escape the fate of total annihilation."

At this moment, the Imperial Advisor, who had a young face but a full head of white hair, stood up and interrupted him: "That's impossible. The Soul-Devouring Array in Black Stone Valley was set up by me personally, at a tremendous cost. There's absolutely no way it could have gone wrong."

Tie Shanyue pointed to the sky: "But that's the truth, and I'm willing to swear on my head."

The barbarian emperor had no time to dwell on such matters. He suddenly realized something terrifying, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "You say the Iron Family Army was completely wiped out, then what about my eldest son, Tianci?"
