Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the heavy door of the hall was pushed open, and a petite figure flashed into the hall like the wind, followed closely by two guards in military uniforms.

"Your Majesty, help!" The girl stumbled to the emperor's throne, knelt on her knees, and her panicked voice echoed in the empty hall.

The woman sitting on the dragon chair, with skin as white as cream and eyebrows as beautiful as paintings, narrowed her phoenix eyes and glanced at the girl kneeling on the ground. She slowly said: "Princess Ji, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?"

Concubine Ji raised her head breathlessly, her eyes filled with fear: "Your Majesty, something big has happened! An urgent report came from the border saying that we have encountered a large-scale attack by the demon tribe. Our army is retreating step by step. The general has been killed and the people are homeless. It is a critical moment for our survival. Please come and see us in person!"

The empress frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, stood up and slowly walked down the dragon throne, walked step by step to Concubine Ji, stretched out her hand to help her up, and said softly: "Okay, don't panic, tell me slowly."

Concubine Ji took the handkerchief handed over by the empress with trembling hands, wiped away the tears on her face, and whispered about the tragic battle at the border. It turned out that a few months ago, the demon tribe took advantage of our army's unpreparedness and launched a fierce attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses swarmed in, and our army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. At the critical moment, the general was unfortunately killed, and the morale of our army plummeted. Now the people are displaced and in danger. Only the empress can go there in person to save the situation.

After hearing this, the empress frowned and pondered for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind and said, "Since the situation is so serious, I will set off for the border immediately. You immediately give orders to mobilize the elite troops to go with me!"

"Yes!" Concubine Ji stood up and hurriedly left the hall to carry out the empress's order.

The empress returned to the throne alone, silently watching the darkening sky outside the palace, with mixed feelings in her heart. This war with the demons has lasted for many years, and the people have suffered. As the empress, she naturally has a heavy responsibility. However, this time the battle was so tragic, the general died in battle, and the army was demoralized. I am afraid the situation is not optimistic.

She slowly closed her eyes and recalled the years since her rebirth, the process of her transformation from an ordinary woman to an empress. At that time, she was just an ordinary girl, but due to an accident, she was unexpectedly reborn into this different world and became the empress of the current Zhou Dynasty. Along the way, there were many hardships, but she never gave up, and eventually became the most respected empress on this continent.

Although she has supreme power, she has never forgotten her original intention and always cares about the suffering of the people. Now the rampage of the demons makes her worried, and she must go to the front line in person to ensure the safety of the people. This battle may be the most difficult battle since she ascended the throne.

As night fell, the sound of horses neighing could be heard outside the palace. Concubine Ji walked back respectfully and reported: "Your Majesty, the army has been assembled and is waiting for you to set off at any time."

The empress opened her eyes and nodded slightly: "Well, I will leave now."

She walked out of the hall slowly, got on the carriage, and the convoy began to move towards the border. She was silent all the way on the long journey, with mixed feelings in her heart. She must win this battle, otherwise, the entire empire will be doomed.

A few days later, the empress and her entourage finally arrived at the border city. They saw that the mountains and rivers here were all ruins, and there were wounded people everywhere, displaced and homeless. The empress felt even more worried and hurriedly got off the car to check the situation.

At this moment, a general in military uniform came up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, you are back just in time. Although our army fought hard, it was unable to resist the fierce attack of the demon tribe. The army was defeated and has now retreated here. The people are displaced and in danger. I beg Your Majesty to quickly mobilize the army to recapture the lost land and help the people!"

The empress nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I understand the urgency of the situation and will do my best to regain the homes of the people. You will immediately take me to the position to inspect and discuss countermeasures."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The general stood up and hurriedly led the way.

The empress went with him and saw the ruined border city with her own eyes. She felt mixed emotions. Although she had been prepared, she was still heartbroken when she saw it with her own eyes. She secretly made up her mind to recover the homes for the people and never let them continue to suffer.

Soon, they arrived at the front line. They saw that the soldiers were dejected, wounded and their morale was extremely low. The empress looked around silently, and finally her eyes fell on a young general wearing a blood-stained robe, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is this?"

The young general stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to Her Majesty, I am the new general of this army, my name is Yun Yu. Please forgive me for failing to stop the attack of the demon tribe, which led to such a tragic result."

The empress nodded slightly, put her hand on his shoulder, and said softly: "Don't apologize. The cruelty of this war cannot be stopped by you alone. This time, I came here to personally command this army, recover the lost land, and restore the homes of the people. Do you have any good plans?"

Yun Yu looked up at the empress, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I do have some strategies. According to my observation, the goal of the demon tribe's attack this time seems not to just occupy this territory, but to completely destroy this country. They have gathered tens of thousands of elite troops, and they are unstoppable. Our army can't resist at all. However, if Your Majesty can mobilize more elite troops and unite with us to hold our position here, we may be able to turn defeat into victory."

The empress pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will stay here and personally command the battle. You must immediately mobilize more troops and have them all in place within three days. We must be prepared to hold our ground before the next attack from the demon tribe arrives."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yun Yu hurriedly took the order and left.

The empress stood on the battlefield, staring into the distance. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and bursts of cannon fire could be heard faintly, indicating the upcoming war. She sighed heavily and prayed that this battle would end smoothly. After all, this not only concerns the survival of the empire, but also the lives of countless people.

Three days later, the empress led the elite reinforcements and integrated with the troops under Yun Yu's command, and finally made full preparations before the monsters' fierce attack. Between the mountains and rivers, our army's densely packed battle flags fluttered, arrows shot forward like rain, artillery fire rolled, and gun smoke filled the air.

On the other side, the demon army rushed over like an ocean, extremely fierce. The two sides were caught in a desperate fight, with smoke everywhere, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and screams coming one after another. The empress personally commanded the battle, calmly and orderly, making plans in the tent and winning the battle thousands of miles away.

Finally, in the difficult and bitter battle, our army, relying on the superb command of the empress, gradually gained the upper hand and continuously repelled the attacks of the demons. Those rampant demon armies were also defeated under the fierce offensive of our army.

Just when our army was about to achieve a decisive victory, we suddenly received ominous news: it turned out that the main force of the demon tribe was not all concentrated here, and there was an elite army sneaking in from the west, heading straight for the border city!

The empress was shocked upon hearing the news and hurriedly mobilized some of her elite troops to support them, but she still could not stop the demon army from advancing step by step. Seeing that the border city would soon fall, the empress was extremely anxious and had to issue a difficult order:

"All troops, assemble and retreat immediately! We must defend the border city and never let it fall into enemy hands!"

Under the firm command of the empress, our army barely evacuated the battlefield and finally successfully saved the border city. But the price was also heavy, many soldiers died heroically, and countless civilians were killed and wounded.

The empress stood alone on the top of the city wall, looking at the bloodstained land, with mixed feelings in her heart. Although this battle temporarily saved the border city, it also made her deeply feel the crisis of the empire. The power of the demon tribe is so strong that they can easily break through our army's defense line, which shows that their goal is not only to occupy the border, but to completely destroy the country.

She closed her eyes, thinking back to this tragic battle, feeling the heaviness in her heart. As an empress, she should protect every citizen on this land, but now she can't stop them from suffering. This makes her feel extremely guilty and helpless.

At this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, the people in the border city are gathering and asking to see you."

The empress took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will go to meet them now."

She walked into the city with heavy steps, and saw thousands of people gathered in the square, all of them with haggard faces and ragged clothes. Seeing the empress coming, they knelt down and cried.

The empress looked around at the people who had suffered with heartache, walked slowly to their midst, and spoke gently: "People, I know how much suffering you have endured, but I will do my best to protect you. This land is your home, and it will surely regain its former prosperity!"

"Your Majesty!" The people wailed, and some fell to their knees. "We have lost everything. Our homes have been destroyed, and our loved ones have died in the war. Now we are homeless. What should we do?"

The empress frowned, feeling heartbroken. She reached out to comfort the helpless people in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "I understand your pain, but we must persevere. Although the demon tribe is powerful, as long as we unite, we will be able to defeat them, recover the lost land, and rebuild our homeland. I swear that I will let you regain a happy and healthy life!"

After hearing this, the people were excited and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

The empress nodded slightly, turned back to the top of the city, and stared into the distance. She knew that the battle was far from over, and the demons were still eyeing them and could launch a new attack at any time. But she would never give up, and she must take back the homes of the people on this land and let them regain a peaceful life.

This battle is destined to be extremely difficult, but with the wisdom and determination of the empress, she will be able to win in the end. And this is also the most important mission that the empress shoulders after her rebirth into this world.
