Chapter 2721 What was bound to happen has finally happened.
Panlong's eastward and southward routes were cut off by the Bega army, but the Red Cliff Road, which was used in later generations, was still passable, and Panlong's allies and friendly nations used this route to transport supplies.
He felt somewhat emotional because, in real history, after Panlongcheng lost the Maohe Plain, its strength dwindled and it was quickly isolated. Until its demise, it did not receive much external assistance, which vividly illustrates what it means to be "unable to support the city alone".
However, in the world of Panlong, Panlong is open to the outside world and actively communicates with the world. In politics, commerce, economy and military, it has become another pole in this world. It has long raised the banner of anti-demon and exported its firm ideas to various countries, gathering many like-minded people.
Before the Panbei War, it had formed an alliance with more than ten allied countries and maintained good relations with many powers. To be honest, many small countries could only make a living by doing business with Panlong, and Panlong even helped quell internal strife in several countries.
If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Panbei War, Panlong's fate would have been completely different.
Even today, many allies still stand on Panlong's side. Regardless of their firmness or whether they wavered before joining, Panlong has many supporters and is no longer alone.
Panlong's ability to hold out against Bega for so long, and even to create miracles on the battlefield, is inseparable from the support of these allies and the goodwill he has cultivated over the years.
These allies provided people, money, and supplies. After Panlong proactively initiated a strategic retreat, their support played a crucial role, truly a timely act of kindness.
Even Lingshan, which is usually half-hearted, was unusually generous this time, giving people and money as they asked.
This is completely different from the actual Lingshan in history.
As the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, He Lingchuan understood human nature and national character. He knew very well that this did not mean that Mount Ling and many small countries had truly changed their nature, become generous, or become as resolute as Panlong.
They simply saw an opportunity.
This stems from the sheer power of the dragon itself, which gave them an opportunity for speculation.
Whether it's an individual or a country, one must first strive to be successful before others will be willing to lend a helping hand.
Furthermore, the strange occurrences involving Bega lately have been witnessed by all, leaving the nations dumbfounded. Even those forces that initially firmly believed Panlong would be defeated by Bega are now thinking, "Oh dear, perhaps Panlong really has a chance to turn the tables in the end."
Look at the state of chaos inside Bega.
“Singing Sand Forest.” He Lingchuan let out a long breath.
In real history, General Hong perished in the Mingsha Forest. In that battle, she and most of the elite troops of Panlong died heroically, and three days later, Panlong City was captured.
This is a special location; even the Void Valley where Dafanghu and Panlong Secret Realm intersect is modeled after the Singing Sand Forest.
In this new timeline, He Lingchuan leads the Panlong elite troops to guard Mingsha Forest. He has taken on the mission that General Hong carried out years ago. Can he accomplish it even better than General Hong?
If there is anything that remains unchanged, it is that he and his 200,000-strong army have also constructed the final defense of the Panlong Wasteland.
They are the only barrier standing between the Heavenly Demon Slayer Blade and Panlong City.
The crucial battle to reverse Panlong's fate has finally arrived.
"I must hold out!"
……
As the sun set, the Imperial Flow Fruit arrived as promised.
The world was eerily quiet, save for the relentless sound of the rain. The Panlong soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.
As the spiritual rain rapidly increased to the level of a torrential downpour, the Singing Sand Forest was filled with the unique fragrance of the Emperor's Dew, and the concentration of spiritual energy also rose exponentially.
The entire area, from top to bottom of the Singing Sand Forest, is on high alert.
The skinny guy was asking Hu Min, "Are they really going to attack?"
"Yes!" Hu Min replied without hesitation. "If the general says yes, then it definitely will."
Tonight, Panlong will face its final judgment.
When the sun rises tomorrow, will they be alive or dead, will they live or die?
"If so, the fragrance of this imperial nectar will soon be overwhelmed by the stench of blood." The skinny man sighed, letting Lingyu pour into his neck. "For the first time, I hope the general is wrong."
The words had barely left his lips when a deafening drumbeat erupted from the opposing camp. It was completely unexpected, yet utterly unsurprising; each beat struck like a blow to the very heart of the Panlong soldiers.
The all-out offensive of Bega's army has begun!

Earth Mother Plain, Panlong Ancient City.
The sun was too strong, so Ling Jinbao was playing chess with Bao Chihai under the shade of a Julu tree when Qing Shudi came over.
Bao Chihai is a spirit, and although he has been appointed as the Night Wanderer of Panlong Ancient City by the Nine Nether Emperor, he does not like the dazzling sunlight.
“This medicine is effective.” Qing Shudi Jun took out the Dragon Blood Grass that Ling Jinbao bought from Longhu West Town. “I’ve tried it. It has a remarkable effect on wildly growing goiters and can kill them in a targeted manner.”
"How exactly will this be targeted?"
"Goiters are a problem because they grow erratically and spread to other parts of the body, disrupting the balance inside and outside the body. Ordinary elixirs are unlikely to be effective against them; instead, they may nourish the goiters and encourage their growth." Qing Shudi Jun pointed to another pill. "This pill uses dragon blood grass as its main ingredient and can effectively identify goiters, specifically targeting the disordered lesions."
Ling Jinbao understood immediately: "It's the right treatment."
“That’s right, it’s the right medicine.” Qing Shu Di Jun nodded. “It’s a good medicine, no wonder it’s selling so well. This kind of medicine will be needed everywhere. Don’t be idle for the next twenty days. Go to Long Hu Xi to place more orders, or buy directly from these forest rangers. When the Earth Mother returns, we need to take the medicinal herbs and elixirs to the Nine Nether Emperor. This is a very precious discovery.”
It is the Shennong of the Earth Mother Plain, and it makes the decisions on matters of grain cultivation and medicinal pills. The other immortals have no objections: "Good."
Just then, a huge white stork suddenly fell from the sky.
This was a bird-like scout; the flapping of its wings nearly overturned the chessboard, but Ling Jinbao didn't blame it, because it spoke in human language and was extremely urgent.
"An army is approaching Kunlongbore!"
"What happened?" Bao Chihai patted its head. "Don't panic, explain yourself."
He was a nightmare, and these two blows actually had a calming effect on him. The white-feathered stork shook its head, and indeed calmed down a bit.
"Two armies are coming from the southeast, one in front and one behind, one fewer and one more, as if the one behind is chasing the one in front."
"How many men and horses are there on each side?"
"They're all cavalry. There are about five or seven hundred in front, and there are many more pursuers behind, about two thousand or so," Bai Yuguan added. "They're less than twenty miles away from us."
"Coming from the southeast?" Ling Jinbao frowned. "Could it be an army from the south? They've covered over a hundred miles in one night?"
"Take me there and see what's going on." This was said to Bai Yuguan, and the next sentence was to Bao Chihai, "I'm going out, leave this to Brother Mingke."
