The bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
But when the silver light shone down, it did not illuminate a quiet and beautiful scene, but a brutal chase.
"How long have we been running?" asked the Sand Lizard Queen in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, the beautiful Queen's eyes were bloodshot, her lips had turned pale, and her throat was sore from constantly playing the bone flute.
To Shu Yichao, this was just a fun lizard hunting game.
But for the Sand Lizard Queen who was fighting hard and trying to escape, this was simply a road to death.
The army of clay figurines attacked tirelessly, leaving them no chance to breathe.
The Sand Lizard Queen felt like she was in an extremely narrow alley that she could only pass through sideways.
The earthen walls on both sides of the alley were slowly closing together.
As long as the two earth walls were closed together, she would be completely crushed into a flat pancake.
But she had no power to resist.
Even if you are not careful or make a wrong deployment, the speed of the earth wall will increase.
Therefore, in this immense fear, they could only flee, desperately flee...
Wherever the famous monster army appeared, the powerful and influential people would greet them with smiles, and the local army would tremble in fear...
The moment is constantly dying.
Either they disappeared in the thunder or fell into the clay figurines.
By now, less than one-third of their troops were left, and as for their servants and ladies, they had almost all been lost.
However, Shu Yichao's undead army was still following them slowly, and their numbers did not decrease at all.
The earth wall was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was about to press down on my face.
Despair is spreading in the heart of the Sand Lizard Queen.
Can we really escape?
"..." The only lady left beside the Sand Lizard Queen was also pale and crying, not daring to answer.
"Coming!!"
At this moment, the Lion Whisperer shouted loudly.
That voice was filled with the joy of escaping death.
"My servants, report that there is a river ahead!"
"Across the river is Khotan!"
"We are saved!!"
"Really?" The Sand Lizard Queen quickly raised her head and looked into the distance.
is not that right?
At the end of the horizon is a sparkling river.
"Finally, I escaped!" The Sand Lizard Queen cried with joy.
A few short hours seemed to last for centuries. Every second during this time, one could see the shadows of the Black and White Impermanence demanding their lives.
However, they managed to hold on in the end.
All of their subordinates, whether they are giant lizards or ant snails, are good swimmers.
But those clay figurines...
Just cross the river, just cross the river, and everything will be fine.
After counting the losses, the Sand Lizard Queen was on the verge of collapse.
There were only 20 or 30 monitor lizards left around her! !
Almost the entire army was annihilated——
"Damn necromancer!"
The Sand Lizard Queen gritted her teeth.
"I will definitely seek revenge on you later!!"
“Cross the river!!”
Whether it was a desert monitor lizard or a monster ant snail, they all rushed forward with red eyes and howling, like wild dogs that had been hungry for three days and three nights seeing meat bones.
“Plop, plop!!”
"Woo, woo—" The Sand Lizard Queen couldn't help but choke up as the icy river water flowed across her cheeks.
The feeling of surviving a disaster made her want to throw away all her pride and cry her heart out.
There was a commotion along the coast, as if the defenders of Khotan had discovered them.
"We are the Lion Speaker and the Sand Lizard Queen." The Lion Speaker shouted.
"Go and tell your king!"
"Tell him to come and greet us quickly!"
"otherwise--"
"Shoot!!" Unexpectedly, the Yutian defenders were extremely enthusiastic about the wizards' arrival and responded to them directly with bows and arrows.
The magic-destroying arrows, dotted with cold light, drew beautiful yet dangerous arcs in the air, turning into a torrential rain, and struck the giant lizards and ant snipes that were swimming.
"Asshole!!"
"What are you doing!?" The Sand Lizard Queen was angry.
It's the other way around!
It would be fine if we were chased by the Tang army.
Now even the soldiers from Khotan dared to jump in front of her! ?
"You damn slaves!" the Lion Whisperer also roared.
"Even your king doesn't dare to act arrogantly in front of me, and you actually..."
"Two wizards, why bother with a few pawns?" A middle-aged man's faint voice came from the shore.
"Xiao Wang is here."
"You..." The Sand Lizard Queen and the Lion Speaker were both stunned.
I saw a person on the high platform on the shore, surrounded by people, with a faint jade glow on his body. If he was not the King of Khotan, then who could it be?
In an instant, they understood——
Yutian rebelled!
"How dare you betray the Tumo Empire?"
"Haha!!" The King of Khotan looked at them as if they were idiots.
Just kidding, the Yuchi royal family of Khotan has been blessed by the emperor for generations and has always been a loyal subject of the Tang Dynasty.
Before, I was just pretending to be nice to you because I couldn't beat you.
Betray the Tumo Empire?
What kind of joke is this?
"You ridiculous Fanzi, even when death is imminent, you are still so arrogant and presumptuous—"
"What a bunch of clowns!"
"Somebody come!"
"Get the crossbow!!"
"you!!"
It was not until this moment that the two wizards discovered with horror that they had miscalculated something.
The Kingdom of Khotan was a staunch pro-Tang faction.
During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the King of Khotan simply gave up the throne and abdicated, then hurriedly led his troops thousands of miles to participate in suppressing the rebellion.
Although now under the pressure of the Tumu Empire, they pay tribute to the Tumu Empire.
However, the Tumu Empire was never able to fully extend its hand into Khotan and remained a vassal state.
When they learned that the two Tumo wizards were being attacked by the Anxi army and that if they didn't rescue them, the entire army might be wiped out—
Is there any need to talk about the result?
We, the Kingdom of Khotan, must send troops. It is our duty and responsibility!
It's just that their goals may be slightly different from what the two wizards think.
There have always been rumors that our Kingdom of Khotan is submissive in appearance but not in heart, obeying Tumu on the surface but actually has its heart set on the Tang Dynasty?
Now we, the Kingdom of Khotan, would like to clarify that this is not a rumor.
In fact, a few hours ago, a heated debate broke out in the court of Khotan.
After all, when Shu Yichao led the Terracotta Army to sweep around the countryside, he did not hide it at all.
It is clear that my Anxi Army is recovering Tang territory.
Surrender now, or else the Anxi army will come to you personally...
Maybe your whole family will be confused.
Anyone who isn't convinced can stand up and let us chop them down.
Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed.
In addition, waves of herders and merchants quickly brought the latest firsthand news. Gatling Bodhisattva reincarnated!
The bones are the road!
The black lotus blooms!
Anxi's soul returns!
The Tang Dynasty's Anxi Heavenly Soldiers return to the Western Regions!
Upon hearing this news, the Kingdom of Khotan immediately split into two factions.
The radicals believe that we should take action now and kill all the Tumo soldiers left in the city, then take the seals, household registrations, and account books to welcome the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers and return to the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Conservatives think radicals are too conservative.
After discussing for a long time, they suddenly discovered.
"Wait, where's our king?"
Soon, someone exclaimed.
"The king has led his troops to kill the Tumu people!"
“…” Everyone in the court was stunned at first, then became furious.
How did this guy become king!?
We are not even invited to perform meritorious deeds!
Later, we will go to the Anxi Protector-General and give him a severe report.
As for now...
Hurry up and grab the heads!
Soon, they defeated the remaining Tumo army, and then, still unsatisfied, chased after Tumoyuan's Khotan garrison that had already set out to rescue the Sand Lizard Queen and the Lion Whisperer.
Meanwhile, Tumoyuan's army stationed in Khotan had already run head-on into Shu Yichao's army of clay figurines and was being beaten back step by step.
There is no way, there are too many Terracotta Warriors.
While sending 300,000 troops to attack the two wizards, Shu Yichao did not hesitate to send another 200,000 troops to attack Yutian.
Seeing the reinforcements coming, the Tumo people had no time to rejoice before they saw the reinforcements, carrying a large banner with the word "Tang" on it, rushing into their own ranks and killing them wantonly...
