To put it more accurately, that couldn’t be counted as a real army. All the people within that army were formed up by the Qi Kingdom’s citizenry, their bodies covered with a mixed assortment of armour made from cane, various blades and knives gripped in their hands. A few among them were even holding clumsy and unwieldy tools used in farming, disorganized and scattered, their steps not in tandem as they shouted while charging towards the encampment of the three countries’ armies.
The youth stared in puzzlement at the motley crew and he said in a voice that sounded like he found it very funny: “Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! This is what the Qi Kingdom is? Ha ha ha! This is the army the Qi Kingdom has? My Heavens! This has got to be the most amusing bunch of people put together into a so called army that I have seen!”
The Condor Country’s Commander in Chief’s heart was shocked. “That is not the Qi Kingdom’s army, but the Qi Kingdom’s common citizens.”
Volume 12
Chapter 1159: “Imperial City In Crisis (4)”
The people were of different ages and dressed in different clothes, very regular civilians from the various big cities. They had been forced to escape from the cities they had been from by the war and had ran the entire way, a journey that had been filled with terror and panic, seeking for a final sliver of hope. But when they reached here and saw that the Imperial City had been surrounded, at that moment….. all of them suddenly found themselves filled with a roaring rage!
“Kill! !” A youth who was still a little green shouted as he ran at the front of the gaggle of people, his eyes red and bloodshot, as he stared at the armies of the three countries who had destroyed their homes and killed their people!
The Imperial City must not be breached!
The Qi Kingdom cannot be allowed to fall!
Throughout history, this was the weakest army ever assembled, a force that couldn’t even be called an army in any sense of the word. But at this moment when the fate of the country was at stake, they suddenly turned to become a force that was completely fearless!
Upon the Imperial City’s wall, Jun Qing was already prepared to fight to the death with the armies of the three countries but he suddenly spotted the ragtag army right at the other end, at the back of the enemy lines!
His eyes widened as he stared in disbelief, his Bone Eroding White Owl taking to the skies, transmitting all that it saw with its eyes to Jun Qing!
Jun Qing could not make himself believe that the citizens of the Qi Kingdom would come charging onto the battlefield when the battle was just about to become most intense!
They were from different cities and from varying parts, but there was one thing they had in common!
Within their bodies, the same unyielding hot blood of the Qi Kingdom flowed with rage!
Jun Qing’s body shook uncontrollably. Within the Bone Eroding White Owl’s sight, he saw scene where the people from that ragtag army being crushed by the armies of the three countries, the elderly who were already past half a century old, the youths who had yet to come of age, the strong able bodied men among them…..
Under the hooves of the armoured cavalry of the three armies, blood instantly stained the land!
They might not have been powerful, they might have been a joke in the eyes of others.
But they had used their very lives to buy a brief period of time for the Imperial City. And that very brief period of time would turn out to be the moments bought that changed the fate of the entire Qi Kingdom!
That very weak ragtag army made up from tens of thousands of the Qi Kingdom’s citizens had not lasted even an hour before the trained armies of the three countries before they were completely annihilated, without a single survivor! Their dead bodies lay in pools of blood, but their spirits would never be extinguished!
“What a joke.” The white robed youth said as he held a young boy from the Qi Kingdom by the head, flinging him around like he would a toy. “So helplessly fragile that it’s almost sad. I just twisted him slightly and his head had come off just like that. Ha ha ha!”
With a loud crack, the youth crushed the head and it exploded within his hand!
Blood and brains immediately flew out in all directions!
And on his face, there was only an expression of excitement and joy!
“Such a bunch of trash and they had actually held us back for an hour. Doesn’t matter though, take it as a chance for those ants within the Qi Kingdom’s Imperial City to catch their breaths for the last time.” The youth said nonchalantly as he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his blood stained fingers clean as he turned to look towards the Condor Country’s Commander in Chief.
“Now, launch an all out attack immediately! In one hour’s time, I want the name of Qi Kingdom to forever disappear from the face of the land!”
The bugles signalling for an attack sounded!
The armoured cavalry of the three countries charged towards the Qi Kingdom’s Imperial City!
The battered city’s gates that had held out for so long finally shattered at that moment!
However, at the very moment that the three countries’ armies were about to seize the moment and pour into the Imperial City through the shattered gates – A howling gale suddenly came sweeping in!
Several hurricanes sucked all the soldiers amassed before the city’s gates into the air, and anguished screams suddenly tore through the air! From within the spinning hurricanes, blood splatters shot out in all directions!
From within that blood rain, two figures suddenly appeared above the Qi Kingdom’s Imperial City!
…..
Author’s Note: The Rui Lin Army will never disappear. As long as the soldier’s spirit remains, there will be someone to succeed them in the days to come, to carry on their will.
Volume 12
Chapter 1160: “Mob Slap – Second Form (1)”
A clean and clear faced youth donned in silver armour and a flawlessly handsome man stood side by side in mid air. Under the blood spraying everywhere, everyone’s eyes were all focused upon the two people!
In a blink, all those from the three country allied forces who had been about to rush into the Imperial City were sucked up into the hurricanes! A wide expanse of space right in front of the Imperial City was swept completely clear and blood fell like rain, splatters of ground flesh falling upon the faces of the soldiers from the armies of the three countries, immediately throwing all the people there into a state of shock by the gory scene right before their eyes!
“Who are those people!” The Condor Country’s Commander in Chief who held command from the back suddenly stared with his eyes wide, in incredulous disbelief at the two people who had suddenly appeared in mid air.
Within the Imperial City, the soldiers who had sunk into despair now raised their heads, similarly staring at the two people standing above in the air, their faces frozen with rapture. But within the ranks of the Rui Lin Army, several people spotted a highly familiar figure!
That figure was a little taller than they remembered, and the face was also different from it had been in the beginning. But for those Rui Lin Army soldiers who had previously gone to the Battle Spirits Forest that time, knew very clearly who that petite and delicately attractive looking youth was exactly!
“Young Miss…..” Long Qi’s eyes widened, as he stared at the youth standing next to Jun Wu Yao!
[That countenance, was obviously the face of Jun Wu Xie after altering her looks!]
[Jun Wu Xie has come back!]
[Their Young Miss was back!]
Jun Qing was standing right next to Long Qi and Long Qi’s involuntary soft whisper reached his ears without missing a word, making his heart leap!
“Long Qi, who….. did you say that was?” Jun Qing’s voice was already trembling.
Long Qi was startled back to his senses by the question and said: “It’s the Young Miss, that is Young Miss.”
“Wu Xie…..” Jun Qing whispered as he stared at the petite little figure, his heart quickly wre
nching up.
In the beginning, when Long Qi brought back the news to them that Jun Wu Xie was unable to come home, although the father and son pair had been surprised and highly pained by the parting, they had not probed too much into it as they believed that Jun Wu Xie knew what she was doing. She might still be young, but she was not as rash and impulsive as other youths her age, hence if she felt that it was necessary to do that, they wouldn’t have any objections against it.
But the longing in their hearts, had never once stopped.
Jun Qing was able to recognize Jun Wu Yao beside Jun Wu Xie, and with Long Qi’s words, it only further convinced him that the petite figure was definitely Jun Wu Xie!
When the Qi Kingdom was faced with the crisis, Jun Qing had once thought, that maybe he and his father would not be able to see Jun Wu Xie again in this life. Besides feeling regret, they had also felt some sense of comfort that Jun Wu Xie was not around to have to face this calamity. People of the Jun Family had never been afraid to spill blood upon the battlefield, but they still held hope that Jun Wu Xie would be able to live freely.
However, when Jun Qing saw Jun Wu Xie return, the surge of roiling emotions in his heart could no longer be expressed in words!
Jun Qing almost immediately turned his head around to the back, to look at the equally stunned Jun Xian.
Jun Xian did not know that the little youth was actually Jun Wu Xie with her looks altered, but had instead recognized Jun Wu Yao. But his slightly tampered memory did not make him feel for the flawlessly handsome man who had become his grandson only in name, any of the indulgent love he had for Jun Wu Xie, not even in the slightest.
“Father!” Jun Qing could not help but open his mouth to call out.
Jun Xian turned to Jun Qing.
Jun Qing moved his lips moved without him making a sound, silently mouthing out the words to Jun Xian.
[That is Wu Xie, that is their Lin Palace’s Jun Wu Xie!]
Jun Xian immediately gasped in shock. When he had stood before a million lions on the battlefield, his hands had not trembled at all. But at that moment, the hand he used to grip his sword was suddenly shaking uncontrollably!
Volume 12
Chapter 1161: “Mob Slap – Second Form (2)”
Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao’s appearance, caused a strange eerie silence to fall over the fiercely intense battlefield, with only the sound of the howling gale sweeping past everyone’s ears.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes and looked at the chaotic battlefield, looking at the armies of the three allied countries that had surged like the tide. When she saw the three country allied armies rushing towards the gates of the Imperial City, her rage had risen to a boiling point!
If she had arrived just a moment later, the Qi Kingdom’s Imperial City would have been instantly overrun by the three countries’ forces, and her family members would have been mercilessly trampled by the armoured cavalry of the allied forces!
The rage within Jun Wu Xie made her eyes turn impossibly frosty. She turned her head slightly, to search within the Imperial City for familiar figures.
And her eyes quickly met those of Jun Xian’s. Cold and indifferent as she always was, her gaze at that moment wavered slightly.
[Grandfather…..]
Jun Wu Xie wanted so much to run to Jun Xian, to ask her Grandfather whether he had been well all this time. But she really did not have the time for that now. She turned her head back to stare at the armies screaming in horror before her and she drew in a deep breath.
The gazes of the three countries’ allied army were now all focused upon Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao. They had never seen anything so horrifying. Several thousand soldiers suddenly turning into blood and gore in a single blink and the several hurricanes still had not stopped. They continued to howl as they spun endlessly, as good as having an impenetrable high steel wall before them, that blocked the way into the Qi Kingdom’s Imperial City completely, keeping the allied armies of the three countries, blocked outside!
“Who are you people! Why are you making an enemy out of our three countries! ?” The Commander in Chief of the Condor Country infused his entire body with spirit power, and shouted out towards Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao hovering in the air.
Within the howling of the gale, Jun Wu Xie lifted her chin slightly and her chilling gaze swept over each and every of the enemy armies as she said grandly: “Hither stands the Emperor of the Fire state, and all hither needeth no longer dream of setting one foot into the Imperial City!”
Jun Wu Xie’s voice was tinged with a trace of frost, and highly domineering, as it resounded upon the expanse of land.
Her words shocked everyone so much they gasped loudly!
[Fire Country, that is the mightiest country throughout the lands!]
[Why had the Fire Country’s Emperor appeared in the Qi Kingdom? And why would he impede the steps of the three countries in their attack?]
Countless questions swam in their minds. The words, Fire Country, was just like a tall mountain, suddenly pressing heavily down upon all their chests.
Besides the Condor Country, the Commanders of the other two countries had immediately upon hearing Jun Wu Xie’s declaration, found their bodies to be trembling uncontrollably. They were not strong countries, and they had needed to form alliances to attack the Qi Kingdom, hence, it was needless to mention just how miniscule they were before the mighty Fire Country.
Never in their lives would they have ever thought they would one day make an enemy out of the Fire Country!
The other two Commanders were now in a state of panic. Attacking the Qi Kingdom had not made them feel pressure, but if they had to face the Fire Country….. They completely did not even dare to think about it!
Almost immediately after ascertaining Jun Wu Xie’s identity, they drove their horses into a sprint to come before the Condor Country’s Commander in Chief and asked highly nervously: “Is that really the Fire Country’s Emperor? Why does the Fire Country want to interfere with the Qi Kingdom’s affairs! ?”
A tiny country like the Qi Kingdom, would never be able to establish any links with the Fire Country, but the youth had claimed to be the Fire Country’s Emperor and that had made their hearts panic.
“What he is wearing upon his head, is indeed the Fire Country’s Emperor’s crown.” The Condor Country’s Commander in Chief admitted through gritted teeth.
Not long ago, the Fire Country had indeed sent news about the change of regime and there had also been rumours that said that the throne was handed to a just a young youth. Under the Heavens, people who dared impersonate the Fire Country’s Emperor did not exist.
Volume 12
Chapter 1162: “Mob Slap – Second Form (3)”
The Condor Country’s Commander in Chief’s words extinguished the last ray of hope in the hearts of the other two commanders.
When the Fire Country’s Emperor had personally appeared outside the Qi Kingdom’s Imperial City and made his stance clear that no one was allowed to take a single step into the Imperial City, naturally none of them possessed the guts to challenge the Fire Country’s might. Against such an immensely powerful country, if they really provoked and angered them, obliterating both their countries would be as easy as taking a drink.
“For no reason, why is the Fire Country getting themselves involved in a matter like this? The Qi Kingdom is so far away from the Fire Country, so why are they stretching their hand so far out for! ?” A commander asked, his face deathly pale.
“What are we going to do now? Are we really going to strike against the Fire Country’s Emperor? That….. that might not really be suitable.” Another commander said, the expression on his face flustered.
The Condor Country’s Commander in Chief’s brows creased together. The current situation was not one that he had ever thought would happen. Although the Condor Country was strong and powerful, but compared to the highly prosperous and powerful Fire Country who was securely lodged in the seat of supremacy, they w
ere still a distance behind. If they were to really face off with the Fire Country, they would have nothing to gain out of it.
At that point, even the Condor Country’s Commander in Chief could not help himself any longer but started to show signs of hesitation.
“It is merely just an Emperor and you are all already shaking in your boots? What a joke.” The youth who had been watching the three Commanders from the side saw their ashen paces said with a sneer.
The Commanders from the other two countries immediately turned to look at him, their faces frowning slightly.
This person had been with the Condor Country’s forces right from the beginning. Highly good looking, his body tall and slender, not looking the least bit like he was from the Condor Country’s army. They had initially not cared much about it, but along the way, the Condor Country’s Commander in Chief had been highly respectful to the youth and it could even be said that the Commander in Chief obeyed him in many instances, making the other two Commanders not dare to underestimate the youth’s identity.
But now, the Fire Country had joined in the battle and although only the Emperor alone had come, everyone there however knew what that truly meant. But even then, the youth was still saying such things flippantly which greatly displeased the other two Commanders.
“Just merely an Emperor? That’s putting it too lightly! Do you know how powerful the Fire Country is? Since the Fire Country was founded, they had always sat in the seat reigning supreme over the various countries. Many of those who had overestimated themselves and provoked them had all in the end lost their home countries where their lands became part of the Fire Country, to forever disappear from the world!” One of the Commanders could not help but retort in contempt.
The youth glanced at him and his eyes flashed with displeasure. The Condor Country’s Commander in Chief’s heart filled with terror and he quickly said: “Lord Lin Xiao, please do not be angry. What he spoke was the truth as the Fire Country is really not that easy to deal with.”
