Helian Manqiu had already expected that Gan Yuxuan would attack the city at night, so she sent a strong young man with a simple detonator and other useful items to the east gate.

"The young general is truly ingenious."

What did this mean? His ferocious face was filled with a tinge of admiration, and his eyes were filled with suspicion. Was this the daughter of a general that he was familiar with, that he had watched grow up, Helian Manqiu?

In the past, she was an elf who was eccentric, had a lot of ideas, and had a lot of guts to bear. This time, the reason why he was injured and almost lost his life was because he discovered the spy lurking within the city. In order to protect Helian Qingyu, he was injured.

Speaking of which, if she hadn't discovered the plan to disrupt the spies' plans, she would have suffered a greater loss.

But he had seen her dead with his own eyes, had felt her pulse and her breath, and could not be mistaken.

"Uncle Yi, where is my Autumn Wave Sword?"

Helian Manqiu saw the doubt in his words and tried to ease it with a few words.

She had to protect the entire city and ensure her survival before she could think about anything else.

"The north gate is beginning to attack."

"Reporting, the west gate is attacking the city."

"Reporting, the southern gate is attacking the city on a large scale …"

Intense reports were delivered into the tent one by one, but the person's expression didn't change at all, and the person's heart cooled down instead. The four city gates attacked in succession. The ruined city was in danger!

Miss, I hope your plan and plan are effective. If not for the grass man tactic to delay things until now, if all four of the city gates attacked at the same time, I'm afraid the Military Region would not have survived.

In the imperial city, other than the old, the weak, and the handicapped, and the infants, everyone was going to fight for the sake of tonight. They had never been so confident before, because the young general's ingenious plans and the powerful weapons he had invented filled them with confidence.

The sounds of fighting and killing rang out in the city, one after another, like the tide of attacks. In the darkness of the night, raging waves roared as they rushed towards the military city.

"Rumble …"

The deafening explosion and the battle cries that broke through the clouds resounded throughout the entire capital city.

Not long after the east gate began to attack the city, the other city gates received the news and began to send their troops in.

Previously, the three city gates had used a scarecrow tactic to rope the scarecrow down from the city walls, causing the surrounding generals to think that the Military City soldiers were planning a sneak attack in the dark night, so they didn't dare to attack the city directly. Instead, they only used their arrows and crossbows to shoot and be prepared in the dark.

Helian Mountain was an illustrious general of Fringe City and his achievements were outstanding. Even the army that had besieged the military region feared Helian Mountain. It was the first time that the Military Region had done such a secretive thing in the dark of the night. No one knew what Helian Shan was planning to do.

No one knew that these were only the suspect tactics of Helian Manqiu. She had used the scarecrows to lure them to shoot arrows to fill up the gaps between the arrows and crossbow bolts in the city. At the same time, she had also prevented the enemies of the other three gates from attacking the city directly, freeing up the troops to defend the east gate.

The news of Helian Mountain's death was tightly sealed. The enemies outside the four city gates didn't know of the death of Helian Mountain. Besides Gan Zhixuan's unmoving troops, the troops attacked by the other three city gates had suffered heavy losses.

If it weren't for the fact that the east gate was willing to give the Profound Sky Continent the first opportunity to launch an attack tonight, the soldiers of the other three gates might not have attacked the city tonight.

In the imperial city, regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, all of them were rushing to the city to help the city guards with the delivery of their weapons.

Helian Manqiu made a time lag and waited for the other three city gates to attack the city. Because the military prefecture had prepared for this, the east gate was unable to retreat after attacking the city. The siege had eased a little because of the withdrawal of troops from the east gate, but the four city gates had attacked in succession. Tonight, the military region had once again fallen into the crisis of a bitter battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the weapons invented by Helian Manqiu had played an irreplaceable role, it would be difficult for the military state to hold on tonight.

Even so, the enemy still managed to take over the city wall. However, because Helian Manqiu had predicted this, she made arrangements beforehand to place nails and traps on the city wall, so that the soldiers who had taken over the city wall would not be able to return.

The fierce battle lasted until dawn. The enemy had suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers guarding the city had suffered numerous casualties. Yesterday and the night's supply of weapons had been completely used up.

Fortunately, many of the weapons invented by Helian Manqiu could be used repeatedly. The people in the rear had not been able to rest, and thus, they had continued to forge weapons overnight to be used in the defense of the city.

When the sun rose, the generals were forced to retreat after seeing that the siege had failed and that the casualties were too great.

"Reporting, the attack from the east gate has been repelled. The military region has been protected!"

After hearing that news, everyone relaxed. Although the other three doors were still attacking, the thing they were most worried about was the east gate. The thing they were most worried about was also the east gate.

As long as the east gate did not attack the city tonight, the military region would hold out for one more day!

The news of the retreat to the east gate and the end of the attack caused the officers and soldiers of the Army Continent to be overjoyed as they read out a name in unison, "Young General!"

Of course, only a very small number of people knew that the true identity of this young general, unlike young general Pi, was the great general's daughter, Helian Manqiu.

"Reporting, retreat from the west gate!"

"Reporting, South Gate Soldier."

The siege forces outside the four gates had suffered heavy losses, an unprecedented one.

"Ah …"

Helian Manqiu let out a long yawn as sleepiness flooded her mind. She was truly very tired. When she used her brain too much, her body's weakness made her unable to endure it.

Cold sweat had already soaked his clothes. He felt a burning pain all over his body. The sweat soaked his wound, causing him to feel even more pain.

His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, his vision turned hazy, his body felt sore, and he felt faint. Before he could finish his words, he had already fainted.

Bloody scars seeped out of his clothes and extended like vines, blossoming into bright red flowers. The wound had split open and could no longer hold on. However, he had used his will to continue supporting it. It was for the Military Region, and also for Helian Manqiu.

"Miss!"

She was still a child in his eyes, just like his own daughter.

However, his heart was trembling. He hastily called for someone to carry Helian Manqiu to the carriage. He ran all the way back to his mansion with Helian Manqiu.

"Quick, quick, prepare boiling water and medicine."

"Yes."

"Butler, Doctor Lu is here."

"Quick, please come in."

He could not be bothered with the defense of men and women. In his heart, Helian Manqiu's life was the most important thing. Previously, he had asked the famous doctor of the Military Region, Lu Keyu, to treat Helian Manqiu. However, Helian Manqiu had died from severe injuries.

"Butler, I've been treating the soldiers. I just found out that you were looking for me to treat the young general's wounds."

"No need to say anymore. You must save the young lady. I thank you."

"Plop …"

What did he mean by kneeling on the ground? Lu Keyu hurriedly reached out to support him, "I do not dare. This is my duty. Butler, please quickly get up."

"Doctor Lu, you must save the little miss, the little miss cannot die."

"Miss?"
