Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 657 Crisis at the Border

Ever since Chu Feng resigned, all three military regions and eight royal clans, including Crown Prince Hua, fought to gain control of Xi Ye.

In five years, the border command center was split into multiple factions, which gave invaders the chance to slip through.

The invaders looted and pillaged as they pleased while the military was busy with infighting. That was the main reason why Xi Xia was so brazen.

A war at the western border was on the horizon.

"It's time to clean up the mess at Xi Ye," Chu Tianxiong said after a moment of deliberation. "We need to send someone who is assertive and charismatic to take the lead."

Weng Bo smiled. "Do you need to look any farther than your family, Lord Chu? Who else is more qualified than Master Feng to take control of Xi Ye?"

Chu Tianxiong said nothing. He took the cup of herbal tea and finished it.

The next morning, Chu Feng read about the western border invasion in the morning news and on the Internet.

"After several invasion attempts at the western border, Donghua forces were engaged with Xi Xia invaders in a firefight that resulted in 17 deaths and 36 injuries. In response to the invasion, the Department of Defense has issued a statement condemning the invaders…"

On the Internet, patriotic citizens were up in arms.

"What's the point of condemning? Are we just going to sit back and let them invade us? And I thought Xi Ye soldiers were the most skilled in the country. Looks like they're nothing but cowards!"

"Hey, don't you know? The Xi Ye now is the total opposite of five years ago. After the Dragon Lord resigned, everyone wanted to be the leader. It's a total mess there."

"Well, if the Dragon Lord is still around, the Xi Xia monkeys wouldn't dare be so brazen! This is ridiculous!"

"'If' the Dragon Lord around. That's not going to happen!"

"Why don't we hand him a petition to take the helm again? I'll be the first to sign it!"

"Fight! Fight! I'm not scared of death!"

Chu Feng read the comments in silence. He put his phone away and turned off the television.

As he expected, Xi Xia had become the biggest threat to Donghua's peace.

What he did not expect was the sorry state of the Xi Ye military.

Chu Feng was disappointed that the leaders of the country did not learn from the defeat twenty years ago. It was Chu Tianxiong who led a conquest of sixteen countries that brought peace back to Donghua.

After that, Chu Feng's Dragon Soul Army and Qin Shihuang's Northern Wolf Cavalry maintained another ten years of peace by keeping their enemies at bay.

Who would be the hero of the nation for the next ten years?

Chu Feng stood up and looked out of the window. The land that lay in front of him might seem prosperous, but it was riddled with inner threats and corruption.

It was only a matter of time before the country fell again, but before that, he would not hesitate to fight for his country once more.

"Wait for my return, Xi Ye," Chu Feng said to himself. "But this isn't the time."

His phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, he heard Chen Yuanyuan crying. "Feng! Our debtors have surrounded us at our house. I'm so scared!"

Chu Feng was alarmed. "Don't be afraid. I'll be there at once."Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
