Chapter 1036 (Facing the Enemy Outside the City)
"You're ruthless!" Huang Li said in a low voice, then turned and left.
Ye Hua and Ye Yuanqing remained silent throughout, not paying much attention to this upcoming battle. At this point, they were just putting on a show for the Emperor.
Previously, they did it for two Emperors, now they only needed to do it for one.
"Do you two have any objections?" Huang Yun asked Ye Hua and Ye Yuanqing, showing no face.
Ye Hua and Ye Yuanqing had smiles on their faces, which annoyed Huang Yun. 'Even at this point, you're still laughing. Can you still find humour in this situation?'
'You should be begging for mercy! Perhaps this prince might spare your lives!'
'But your arrogance has sealed your fate; you're all going to die!'
'And all the credit for this victory will go to me, and you losers can go to hell!''I am the Crown Prince! The future Emperor!'
Although Huang Yun's face appeared calm at the moment, his heart was in turmoil.
This was a kind of illness, being suppressed by Ye Hua.
Watching Ye Hua and Ye Yuanqing leave, Huang Yun silently thought to himself, just endure for two more days!
'Just endure for two more days! After that, Ye Hua will be gone, Ye Yuanqing will be gone, and the entire Ye family will be gone! Let's see who dares oppose my royal family. Anyone who opposes my royal family will have only one path ahead – death!'
"Crown Prince, your provocation won't work on them," Shi Yun said indifferently from the side. After speaking, he stood and left.
Everyone left, leaving Huang Yun alone.
"You'll all die! You'll all die! Anyone who dares to offend me, Huang Yun, will die!" Huang Yun's murmurs echoed in the room, tinged with madness.
Ye Hua and Ye Yuanqing hadn't gone far before they encountered Huang Li.
"Prince Ye, everything remains the same?" Huang Li asked in a low voice, his mood not great, hoping for a miracle.
Ye Hua replied casually, "Yes, proceed as planned."
"Good, let's stick to the plan. May heaven bless us!" Huang Li's eyes flashed with determination; now, all they could do was give it their all.
Win or lose! If they won, he would turn the situation around. If they lost, he would end up as a corpse. This was the price of being an Emperor!
Either you die, or I live. There is no other choice, but this kind of life investment is worth it, bringing better benefits.
Seeing Huang Li leave, Ye Yuanqing asked in a low voice, "Big brother, do you really intend to kill Huang Li?"
"Yuanqing, who said I want to kill Huang Li?" Ye Hua said lightly, appearing profound, like a military advisor with everything under control, orchestrating plans from afar.
"You mentioned it last time," Ye Yuanqing whispered.
Ye Hua chuckled, "That's because your understanding is too poor."
"I... Big brother, you're bullying me. I'm ignoring you," Ye Yuanqing stomped her foot, showing no signs of a military commander. This left the seasoned soldiers dumbfounded.
It seemed that only Ye General's brother could handle her. This was actually a good thing; otherwise, they were afraid Ye General would forget she was a woman.
Meanwhile, in the camp of Jing Tiandi, the father and son were listening to the latest news.
The situation in the demon capital was chaotic. The princes had started to vie for the throne, appearing ready for a life-and-death struggle.
Jing Tiandi raised his hand to signal the soldiers to leave.
"Wushen, notify our forces to prepare for action!" Jing Tiandi said in a deep voice. Now was the time to bring out his identity to suppress the situation. He was not only the Emperor's brother but also the absolute power in the Demon Capital. These younger generation had no qualifications to compete.
Jing Wushen, looking pleased, bowed and said, "Yes, father!"
At this moment, Jing Tiandi had no intention of going to war. His wife's illness was cured, and the throne was waiting for him. Going back directly was the right course of action.
However, it was still impossible. If he did it now, it would be equivalent to standing against Ye Hua.
This man was not to be trifled with. Despite having powerful weapons, they were useless against him. So, cooperation was still necessary, creating opportunities provided by others.
Just two more days! Just two more days!
Jing Tiandi was excited. He had thought about the throne, but due to brotherly love, he hadn't acted.
This time, however, his brother wanted to kill him. In that case, as the elder brother, he would not show mercy!
Two more days, and it would be a great show.
As time drew near, soldiers on the city walls became increasingly confused.
This reflected their lack of confidence in the future, accompanied by a sense of bewilderment.
It could be said that the soldiers defending the front line were in a low morale state. After all, they were not idiots; it was evident what the outcome would be defending with two million against five million.
Standing on the city wall, Ye Yuanqing watched the meadow before her. In a few hours, this grassland would be stained with blood, becoming an ocean of blood.
"Yuanqing, what's wrong?" Ye Hua, who hadn't worn armour today either, walked to his sister and asked calmly.
"Big brother, is this really okay? Tens of thousands will die!" At this point, Ye Yuanqing couldn't bear it anymore. Although she knew it was a performance, death was still real.
Ye Hua gazed ahead, where dots had appeared on the horizon.
"It's better than everyone dying," Ye Hua said calmly. This was already the best result, exchanging more lives for the smallest cost.
'I've been a bit merciful lately, but I'm getting annoyed.'
Ye Yuanqing remained silent after hearing this. Then, she took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the million soldiers behind her, raising the spear in her hand.
"Brothers! Today is the time for us to show our prowess! For ourselves! For our homeland behind us! For freedom! Victory is a must! Charge!"
Ye Yuanqing's voice wasn't very loud, but it carried a firm determination and conviction.
The soldiers present were all under Ye Yuanqing's command and understood her intentions well.
"For ourselves! For our homeland! For freedom! Victory is a must! Charge!"
The cry echoed, filling the air with determination.
"Charge out to meet the enemy!" Ye Yuanqing shouted, and the left city gate was immediately opened.
However, people from Huang Yun's side would surely be observing nearby.
"General Ye! What do you mean by this? The general has ordered the entire army to defend!" Suddenly, a man ran screaming at Ye Yuanqing.
Ye Yuanqing slowly put on her helmet and said coldly, "I don't need you to interfere in what I do."
"General Ye! This is insubordination against military orders!" the man shouted.
Before Ye Yuanqing could speak, Ye Hua sternly asked, "Disturbing military morale, what crime is that?"
