Prequel: Battle of Baiheyuan

At noon, a strong wind blew through the vast white river.

As the white grass rolled like a wave, the two armies arrayed face to face also appeared on the surface of the river.

On the one hand, it is the Holy Dragon Legion that has swept the mainland for more than ten years, and on the other hand, it is an alliance of all ethnic groups and countries. The golden flag of the Holy Dragon Legion echoes the cyan flag of the Allies in the wind.

In terms of quantity, the Holy Dragon Legion will surpass the Allies. However, the formation of the Holy Dragon Legion is very strange!

The striker and the left wing are in front, while the right-wing legion is positioned in the rear position. As for the rear army, it is positioned on a hill platform far away. It is not so much to participate in the battle as sitting high and watching.

In fact, only 50,000 of the front and the central army are the local armies of the Holy Dragon Empire, and the left, right and rear armies total 130,000, all of which are the servants of the Holy Dragon Empire. After losing the deterrent of the Dragon Emperor, there is really nothing we can do about such a deployment situation.

Chongyun rode a white pear horse, withdrew his uneasy eyes from the rear army of the distant hills and sighed in his heart.

He is 27 years old and has had a 12-year battlefield career since he was 15 years old. In the army of the Dragon Emperor, both generals and soldiers are just insignificant supporting roles on the stage of the protagonist Dragon Emperor. Until the death of the Dragon Emperor at the end of last year and the Holy Dragon Empire fell into internal and external troubles, Chongyun's genius as a famous general finally shined dazzlingly. Attack wars from abroad, suppression of alli rebellions and rebellions at home, as well as power scuffles between various forces in the empire, Chongyun always held dragon guns and red rainbow swords, riding pear blossoms and horses, fought under the banner of the emperor's orthodox heirs and prime ministers and generals. The attack was invincible and invincible, and became famous in the dragon world. He is one of the seven ministers of the new dynasty. All countries called Yun "White Dragon General" in awe and recognized him as the first general of the Dragon Emperor Legion.

This war was personally led by the prime minister and generals to fight against the allies who dared to form an alliance against the Holy Dragon Empire. It is also the largest foreign war of the Holy Dragon Empire since the death of the Dragon Emperor. Although the commander-in-chief was full of confidence, Chongyun was worried. Before the expedition, he once dissuaded the generals, but was rejected by the generals: "Even if the white dragon will cherish his feathers and is afraid of losing his reputation in defeat, he should not be so cowardly!" He took away half of Chongyun's military power and ordered him to fight as a striker and forgive his crimes.

A rapid sound of horseshoe awakened Chongyun from his meditation. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the people. It was a messenger with a flying centipede flag on the saddle. The messenger galloped past the neat array of troops, rushed to the front of Chongyun, turned over and got off his horse, and knelt down on one foot to report: "General Chong, Prime Minister Order the striker to start marching!"

Chongyun nodded, raised the dragon pattern gun, and carried Dantian's anger to shout at the drum corner team next to him: "Brum!"

Hundreds of brightly dressed drummers immediately began to beat the drum face quickly, making a deafening sound of drums. In the sound of this drum, 15,000 strikers under Chongyun began to march towards the feather army in front of him in an orderly manner.

The famous battle of Akagawara opened the curtain.

White River Plain Battle:

At the end of the 37th year of the Holy Dragon Calendar, a total of 150,000 warriors led by Yi Yunyang, the feathers, demons, human races and some weak ethnic groups formed an alliance to lift the flag against the Holy Dragon Empire, which was increasingly weak in internal consumption and war in the year. The prime minister of the Holy Dragon Empire was furious and led 180,000 troops to attack the territory of the feather clan. The two armies launched a bloody battle in the Red River Plain on the Yu ethnic border.

The first to launch an attack was 15,000 Bailong, the striker of the Dusk Legion, and 30,000 feathers from Yi Zhentian, one of the four kings of the feather clan, fought fiercely with the Chongyun Army. On the other hand, because the left and right flank of the Holy Dragon Legion are conscripted servants and extremely lack the will to fight, the two wings of the Holy Dragon Legion were defeated by Yu Zun and Yun Tianyao, one of the four kings of the feather clan, within an hour.

At the critical moment when the two-way feather army was about to encircle the prime minister's general's central army, Bailong launched a single-handed challenge to hit Yi Zhentian, repel the wing Zhentian army, immediately led the army to the left wing and rushed to defeat 40,000 Yuntian's army from behind, and then crossed the Chiheyuan like a whirlwind, and killed the right wing to contain it. Thirty thousand feathers of the army.

The white dragon fought like a military god in the Red River, so that Yi Yunyang had to prepare to order the allied forces to retreat. However, an unexpected event happened at this time.

At the second minute of Shen, the 60,000 troops led by Mu Zhantian, the general of the Holy Dragon Empire, began to move down from the hill position behind. However, the target of their attack was not the allied army, but the middle army of the Holy Dragon Legion where the prime minister and ministers were. Within half an hour, the 60,000 war-day army completely smashed the panicked army of the Holy Dragon Legion, and the general escaped in a hurry under the protection of the guard.

The Chongyun Army, which was surrounded by more than 200,000 troops, launched a miserable breakout like a journey to hell. 15,000 people in the front army, and there are only 150 people left who can finally follow Chongyun to return to their own land.

Legend has it that the white awn grass on the river was stained red by a lot of blood after this fierce battle, and since then it has become red grass, and the white river was also renamed Chiheyuan.

The Battle of Shirakawahara not only destroyed the main force of the Holy Dragon Legion, but also shattered the invincible myth of the Holy Dragon Legion. The feather clan leader raised the banner of "Remove tyrants and settle the world" and took advantage of the victory to advance to the Holy Dragon City, the capital of the Holy Dragon Empire. Dozens of city-states around the Holy Dragon Emperor have declared their independence and followed Yi Yunyang to march. Shortly after the battle of Baiheyuan, the allied forces of all ethnic groups gathered under the command of Yiyunyang have been known as millions and made a vast pilgrimage to the Dragon City**.

At this time, no one knew that the Battle of Chiheyuan was not the beginning of a new era, but the prelude to the great destruction.

The bond of blood

The darkness shrouded the empty and vast palace. In this vast and deep darkness like a dark night, there are only eight candlelight lights, illuminating eight faint figures, which makes people feel mysterious and strange.

One figure is fluttering, and the other seven figures form a semicircle in front of him.

After a long silence, the general sighed and said, "The situation is so dilapidated, which is really a great misfortune for this dynasty."

Another slightly sarcastic voice followed: "If the prime minister could defeat the feather people in Chiheyuan, the situation should be completely different now."

Soon, several people joined together and regretted the defeat at that time. In this noisy sound, the generals remained silent.

At this time, a calm voice sounded: "The situation has reached such a point that even if you regret or pursue anyone's responsibility, it won't help. The most important thing now is to solve the current crisis.

Everyone calmed down. The calm voice continued, "You still need to ring the bell. Prime Minister, please issue instructions."

The general said in a low voice, "The general can't absolve himself from the battle of Chiheyuan. However, the loss of the divine power of the king and the golden mask is also an important factor in the failure of our army. If we can regain the power of the golden mask, our country will be able to easily defeat the traitors of Yiyunyang and revive the prestige of this dynasty.

The sarcastic voice just now sounded again: "However, it has been proved that no one can control the golden mask except the former king. All the warriors who tried to wear a golden mask died immediately. Therefore, the Regency made a decision to seal the golden mask and the remains of the former king in the secret room of the royal mausoleum. This is just a year ago. Has the prime minister forgotten it?

The general raised his voice and said, "But the situation is different from that time. Only with the power of the golden mask can we save the crisis of this dynasty. So even if we want to sacrifice 1,000 or 10,000 people this time, we must find the wearer who is recognized by the golden mask.

The mocking voice retorted: "It's a pity that a year ago, in order to prevent the golden mask from being stolen, we set up the secret art of blood fetters in the secret room of the royal mausoleum. Unless the blood of the royal family is sacrificed, the seal can be opened to enter the secret room. Does the prime minister want to sacrifice the life of our new emperor?

The general said in a low voice, "No, this is not the only way. In the sand tower in the south, there is also a person who can be used as a sacrifice.

There were a lot of shocking calls. The old voice said in consternation, "Prime Minister, is it possible that you want to use Ji Mingyue's life to break the 'blood bond' and the general said, "Yes!"

The old voice trembled: "However, at the end of the civil war, we promised that we would never hurt Ji Mingyue, which made the Mingyue remnants submit to us. Once Ji Mingyue is used as a sacrifice, those people will definitely emerge from the wilderness, cities and armies, setting off a huge rebellion that we absolutely can't bear!"

The general said forcely, "If you don't sacrifice with her, this dynasty will soon be annihilated by Yi Yunyang!" The two evils take their power lightly. As long as they have the magic power of the golden mask, it is just a hand to repel them!"

The calm voice sounded: "However, the sand tower where Ji Mingyue lived in seclusion was guarded by the ninety-nine white robe team that declared absolute neutrality. No one in the empire can defeat the ninety-nine white robe team and bring Ji Mingyue out.

The general smiled and said, "No, there is such a person, and it's among us."

All the people were silent, and 14 invisible eyes passed through the darkness, focusing on a figure who had never spoken in the meeting.

The general said with a slightly coercive order: "General Chong, you are the first general of this dynasty and have saved the dangers of our orthodox court countless times. In the fierce royal civil war, it was all your strength to defeat the Mingyue rebels. Now, please stretch out your strong arm again to bring Ji Mingyue out of the sand tower for the empire to annihilate the "nine white robe team" and go to break the blood bond of the secret room of the royal mausoleum! Please!"

After a long silence, the figure stood up and said, "I see."

Then, the candle that represented him went out, and a sound of footsteps gradually moved away from the hall of the Regency Council.

When the footsteps completely disappeared, the sarcastic voice said, "It's a pity that this is probably the last mission of the White Dragon General. After killing Ji Mingyue and getting the golden mask, we have to calm down the anger of the remnants of the Mingyue faction, so we can only hand over the murderer who killed Ji Mingyue as a scapegoat.

There was silence in the hall, and only the sad shrill smile from the sarcastic voice echoed in the dark.
