      Trapped in the infinite nightmare, Gu Yun stepped onto the void, falling in the deep darkness. His muscles suddenly tensed, his whole body twitching violently, then woke up in the dark night.

      He sobered up very quickly, and in the instant he opened his eyes, his soul returned to its place. He remembered exactly where he was and the things he had yet to do.

      But at that moment, Gu Yun was stunned. Someone had placed a cold cheek on his forehead. Not to mention Jiangbei Camp, even those from the Black Iron Camp would never dare to be this 'intimate' towards him. He then caught the scent of tranquilizer and saw a silhouette with his half-blind vision that had adapted to the dark.

      Gu Yun's existing sweat had yet to dry, a layer of cold sweat already came out. He thought, "Why is he here?"

      Chang Geng twisted the simple steam lamp on the camp bed, silently pulled out a towel from the nearby basin and wiped away the sweat on Gu Yun's forehead.

      Gu Yun's whole body was soft, and there seemed to be an invisible wound buried under his chest's skin and flesh. He could feel a dull pain whenever he exerted a little bit of strength. He fumbled around for a while and found his liuli glass in a bit of panic: "I'll do it myself..."

      Chang Geng bowed his head and ignored him, pushing his wrist down with just a touch.

      Gu Yun nervously moistened his lips, feeling a little guilty for no reason and thought, "Did anybody talk nonsense?"

      At this time, Chang Geng had cleaned his body thoroughly, tightened his clothes, and pulled the quilt over to wrap Gu Yun tightly. Only then did he finally raised his head and made eye contact with him.

      Gu Yun seized the moment and smiled at him.

      Chang Geng looked at him expressionlessly.

      Gu Yun weakly pulled out a hand, grabbed the back of Chang Geng's neck, gently kneaded it for two times and caressed his chin with his fingertips: "Why the long face as soon as you see me? Your yifu's beauty and love had already faded so quickly?"

      "..." Chang Geng suddenly wanted to see how well he could pretend, he asked coldly, "What happened to you?"

      Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and read his lips. His face did not change, "A cold."

      Chang Geng: "..."

      He expected that Gu Yun would cover it up, but he did not expect that he was this half-hearted in his cover up.

      Gu Yun wanted this matter to pass by pleasantly, he reached out and patted Chang Geng's face. "Come, let me see if you have lost weight recently."

      Chang Geng slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Gu Zi Xi!"

      Gu Yun immediately adjusted his tactics and frowned, bringing his military authority out of nowhere: "Who had run their mouth again? General Zhong has just passed, has Jiangbei Camp already become this lawless?"

      Chang Geng took a deep breath: "In the praying hall, you..."

      Gu Yun the wicked accused first and intercepted, "Which kid had guarded the praying hall? Which camp did he come from? Call Yao Chong Ze here for me, this must be punished by military law!"

      Chang Geng clenched his teeth silently.

      Gu Yun shook his head like telling a true story: "Jiangbei Navy is still short in years, this kind of thing will not happen in the Black Iron Camp..."

      "Really," Chang Geng said with a humorless smile, "I am that kid. What is Marshal going to do to me?"

      Gu Yun: "..."

      At this moment, the ever-changing and always-scheming General Gu understood what was called ‘be rendered speechless’.

      Chang Geng actually had a belly of questions to ask him, but he knew that Gu Yun would not honestly confess. Unable to bear seeing this man exhausts himself trying to deal with him, his words were pressed down several times as it surfaced. As he was in turmoil, there was a sudden strange noise from outside the tent.

      A soldier's voice outside the tent cried out in a hurry, "Your Highness! Your Highness Yan Wang!"

      Chang Geng frowned and stood up, "What's wrong?"

      As he finished, a sudden tremor came from the ground. Chang Geng was startled. Only when an explosive falls could such a tremor be created!

      Taking another look, the Jiangbei Camp had bright lights lit, the sound of hooves came from near and far, cold iron armors, the tonghou on top rang loudly, carrying with it the unique air of thick vapor in Jiangbei, slowly spreading out like thunder, as if it could awaken the entire northern half of the country. The ready-to-go Sea Dragons along the coast with its steam light lit up one by one, the cold light piercing the dense vapor. The straight light column on the watchtower shot through Jiangbei.

      Enemy attack!

      Gu Yun couldn't hear clearly, but he recognized the vibration from the ground and the lights coming from the door. After he arrived in Jiangbei, the first thing he did was to strengthen the defense line. In truth, it was only to stabilize the people's hearts. He did not expect that the usually patient Western Navy would indeed choose this time to raid Jiangbei Camp.

      Sometimes when one did their best, one also had to obey the destiny of the heavens. Although on this side, they had calculated every move, they were not aware that the enemy's backyard had also caught on fire. Unknown to them, they changed to a commander with an entirely different fighting style.

      Gu Yun had no time to think about it. He grabbed his coat and wrapped it around him. When he got up, he staggered as if he had just finished eating five kilos of muscle-softening drug and almost knelt down.

      Just then, a Black Eagle flashed across the sky and landed directly at the gate of the Marshal tent. Before he could open his mouth, the red ribbon letter slipped out of his hand and was stepped on by Gu Yun.

      Gu Yun struggled to support himself with the head of the bed and bent down to open the letter by the steam light. At the same time, the Black Eagle quickly reported, "Marshal, in the pretext of peace talks to surrender, the Eighteen Tribes brought suicide soldiers and six carts of Ziliujin to our border as bait. After detonating to explode into a path, tens of thousands of elite soldiers poured out, intending to break the net."

      Gu Yun raised his eyes from the red label letter: "What about the situation? How many casualties are there?"

      Black Eagle: "Your subordinate left in a hurry, I do not know!"

      Gu Yun calmed down then gritted his teeth. Forcing out a bit of strength, he reached for the Wind Slasher hanging on the bed and shouted, "Bring me a Heavy Armor."

 

      At this time, only the Heavy Armor with its own support could make up for his fatigued body. 

      Chang Geng raised his hand and stopped the guard, he turned to Gu Yun and murmured, "Zi Xi, you stay here and keep watch, I'll go."

      Gu Yun looked at him with his lips pursed slightly — Chang Geng recognized the expression, which was basically a precursor to him saying ‘no’.

      Without waiting for Gu Yun to open his mouth, he rushed to say, "Do you trust me?"

      Gu Yun sighed: "I..."

      Chang Geng opened his palm: "Give me the Wind Slasher, I will go for you. If you still believe me, don't go out of this tent."

      The battle fire in the distance was reflected in Chang Geng's eyes, and it was like a fire in his pupils, burning like the nation of Great Liang at its last breath then was reborn once again.

      Chang Geng tentatively grasped one end of the Wind Slasher, slowly and firmly pulled it out of Gu Yun's hand — it was not difficult, Gu Yun's wrist contained no strength, even trembling a little.

      He held the sharp weapon in his hand, slanted it across his shoulder and slightly bowed. "Let me be a soldier for Marshal."

      Gu Yun took a deep look at him, then suddenly turned around and said to the Eagle, "Prepare the sand table, you will be a messenger."

      Chang Geng left with the blade.



 

      Once the Western sea monsters crossed the ocean, they emerged slowly from the misty river. Under the vast shadows, countless Western Dragons, as fast as tiger sharks, approached slowly. Gu Yun's previously laid out defense responded to the alarm. At the same time, the three Light Cavalry units of Jiangbei came out in three routes, occupying key ports on the shore, and colliding with the Western Navy intending to land stealthily.

      Blood soon flowed down the river, with the artillery fires that had yet to extinguish on the surface, interweaving into a brilliant sea of fireworks.

      "Don't stop the large explosive," Chang Geng spurred out. "In the intermittent, push Baihong arrows up in their place. All Eagle Armors stand by immediately during the interval, there is half a minute for you to assemble to suppress the situation in the air. We must not let the Eagle Armors on their sea monster's main ship to take off, lock them down at their spot!'

      "Close the right wing!"

      "Dragons in the entire harbour, ready the gunpowder, charge at once!"

      The messenger at his side thought for a moment that he had misheard him: "Your Highness said the entire harbour? Do we launch a full scale battle?"

      Chang Geng lowered his eyes and glanced at him on his horse back. "All of it, let the foreigners see that Great Liang also has naval forces."

      The weak Great Liang Navy was once vulnerable to attack, even having its commander die in battle. In a hurry, it was tidied up by a civil officer who could not even ride a horse properly and fled to the north in panic.

      A year ago, the scattered old Navy units, together with their lost comrades from the four sides, formed an army that could not be more mixed, and returned to the place where they were originally humiliated. Many people who came from the six factions of the Army were seasick. Many people couldn't find the North and the South when they get to the surface of the water. Many people couldn't cope with the complicated mode of operation of the Dragons of Great Liang that was falling behind in technologies...

      Right now, it all seemed to be from a lifetime ago.

      Since the establishment of the Jiangbei Navy, after two huge reorganizations and redesigns, the Ling Shu Institute had upgraded three times the Great Liang naval warships and sent over the amazingly fast 'tiger shark' ships imitated from the Westerners last year.

      At this time, along the two sides of the river, there was a rare north wind raising up. The bright lamp burning in General Zhong's praying hall illuminated a piece of land, the white tent stood out among the crowded Jiangbei like a soul summoning sign, as if his soul still lingered.

      This blade that had been tempered must be sharpened with the enemy's blood.

      Gu Yun could neither see nor hear clearly. He could only judge the distance of the exchange of fire by the tremor coming from his feet. He was not even in the frontline of the battle. However, he did not panic. The Black Eagle was shocked to find that the whole defense of Jiangbei was in his mind, where the strong or weak points were, where the enemy would choose to make breakthroughs and so on,...his speculations were entirely spot on.

      Now that the command of the front line had been handed over to Chang Geng, Gu Yun simply and generously gave him unreserved overall trust, without making a single instruction of his own. The three armed forces in Jiangbei were all for Chang Geng to command.

      Gu Yun generally monitored the overall situation of the war, while calculating the distribution of Ziliujin and ammunition everywhere. At the same time, he was holding the red label letter from the Northern Frontier, his efforts had been divided into two routes, landing in the two ongoing battles North and South of the whole territory of Great Liang.

      The unexpected deployment of the Westerners this time was for the sake of the barbarians. Ultimately, it was for the sake of negotiating interests. If the northern battlefield could withstand, the Westerners would simply be clowns jumping about, but if the northern battlefield failed——


 

      Jiangbei was bombarded with artillery in the haze, while the Northern Frontier was boiling endlessly in the silver-coated plain.

      Jia Lai had used suicide soldiers and his son to open the way, setting off Ziliujin, then a large number of Northern Barbarian warriors rushed out like mad, as if wanted to perish altogether with their enemy.

      Shen Yi made a decisive decision and withdrew the Black Iron Camp, which had already penetrated the enemy's hinterland for more than ten miles, and galloped like mad on the snow.

      The Black Iron Camp's quality need not be mentioned, running at incredible speed, the barbarians became only a single thin line in the distance.

      The barbarians changed their faces faster than turning over the pages of a book. The garrison in the Northern Frontier had become accustomed to this style of their good neighbor. With a signal from the Black Iron Camp, they were immediately mobilized.

      He Rong Hui and Shen Yi have been working together for many years. Needless to say, the reinforcement kept up with him quickly and cut across the long front.

      Who knew that Jia Lai had used everything he had, when the cavalry opened, several Heavy Chariots which they had not been willing to use for many years were revealed. Hundreds of Heavy Armor poured out, using fire power to push a big net, colliding with the black whirlwind that was the Black Iron Camp. The frontline was momentarily in a stalemate.

      Less than half an hour later, the Northern Man's reinforcements arrived — but it wasn't human or steel armor, it was a large number of Ziliujin escort trucks. Large quantities of Ziliujin were transformed into vapor one after another on the front line of the Northern Frontier. The bitter and cold snow wind couldn't sweep away the hot air. The temperature rose sharply. Large areas of ice and snow turned into hot springs and dispersed into the dry land. The surrounding white fog made the scene engulfed in a haze, the purple fire formed a tragic spectacle between heaven and earth.

      When the iron armor was a bit closer, the surface temperature would start to burn. The barbarians would use their carts, their people and their hearts of the earth as fuel, pushing out continuously in a decisive way as if to hollow out their own land in order to open the way with this battle.

      In the evening, the Black Iron Camp had to retreat again.
