Chapter 807 - The Demise of a Beauty (2/2)
A group of Royal Army cavalrymen charged forth. A dozen or so guards stepped forward to block our path. Han Yuan didn’t hesitate for one moment and threw his long spear out. “Pu Chi!” he killed one of the Long Spear soldiers. The cavalrymen all raised their defenses. In the end, around a hundred of the Violent Thunder soldiers were killed. Han Yuan was enraged. That b*st*rd was a man who could not allow a single dust in his eye. How could he standby and watch military men be involved in evil acts?
“Control the central tent but do not kill anyone!” I shouted my orders.
A group of Royal Army soldiers switched over to longbows and stood guard while a unit of Barbarian Blade and Shield soldiers charged into the encampment. They stood before the archers with their heavy shields, not leaving a single crack in formation.
Han Yuan raised his blood spear and walked over, “Royal Army Commander, General of the South Li Xiao Yao wishes to see the lieutenant of the Long Spear Army Unit!”
Right then, an officer with a half tucked shirt and unkempt clothes walked out from the tent. His face was flushed, and it reeked of alcohol as the smell permeated through his clothing. He stumbled out of the tent, but the sight of dead men and horses seemed to have brought his consciousness back. His face green,he shouted, “The Royal Army? F*ckers, do you know that you’re in the Violent Thunder camp? You actually dare to trespass into the central encampment of the Long Spear Army? Li Xiao Yao, even if you are the General of the South, who the f*ck gave you permission to kill my soldiers and enter my territory?”
I smiled, “Surrender!”
Han Yuan walked over and bent over to pull out the sword at Yugo’s hip, “This sword, if it isn’t being used to kill bandits who threaten the livelihood of our citizens, is it being used to kill dogs?”
Yugo swayed a bit and he knocked over a frame of spears, “Royal Army! You actually dare, I...I will report you to my commander! You won’t get a single thing out of me!”
Right then, a few women suddenly ran out from the camp. All of them were wearing ragged clothes. One of them had an ashen expression. I could even see some blood on her clothing. Her face was streaked with tear marks. As though she were a frightened deer, she looked at all of the armed Royal Army soldiers and knelt to the ground, “Kill me…. Please kill me, I’d rather die than live on like a toy….”
I slid off my horse and said, “Miss, we aren’t part of the Violent Thunder Army, we’re the Royal Army. The Violent Thunder Army’s Long Spear Unit is without a doubt, guilty of all crimes. We have forced all of them to surrender. Miss, do not be afraid. Where are you from? I’ll take you home!”
The girl wept, “No, my father was already killed by your soldiers and my innocence was taken away by them. I have no family. I have no home to return to. All I want to do is die!”
Right then, Yugo let out a cold laugh, “B*tch, your husband is right here and you want to die? Or is it that you want to throw yourself into the embrace of the General of the South? B*tch, did you think I would let you go so easily?”
I roared back, “Shut your hole!”
Yugo’s expression twisted with malice. He suddenly pulled out the sword of a nearby Royal Army soldier and charged straight at the young girl’s back. I quickly threw out my Dragon Reservoir Sword with a [Blade Spin]. “Keng!” I parried Yugo’s blade. The young girl rammed into me and “Hua La!”, she leapt into my arms. She looked up and I could see fury and rage in her eyes, “You and him are the same! You are all beasts who feed on the flesh of us villagers. Let go of me!”
She struggled out of my arms and then ran backwards, only to be met with a pierce from Yugo!
“Pu Chi!”
Blood spurt forward and the blade of the halberd pierced through the young girl’s chest. Blood flowed like a river down the tip of the blade in her back.
I stood there in shock, unable to move. While it was a virtual human, the emotions I had were real. How could this young girl die right in front of me, while I was powerless?
“Keng!”
I pulled out my Zhen Yue Blade and activated my [Ice Wing]s and dashed right to the young girl’s side. “Pa Cha!” I cut off the hilt of the long halberd and rested my blade right against Yugo’s neck. At that moment, Han Yuan and the rest all came up to surround us. “Shua Shua!” several arrows were released, plunging their heads right into Yugo’s body.
“Kneel!”
Han Yuan kicked the back of Yugo’s legs, forcing him onto his knees. He looked over at me, “General, how do we deal with him?”
I didn’t say a word and walked right up to him with a slash. Blood spurt forth. Yugo was just a demi-BOSS. He was at critical health and this action was within the limits of the quest. I cut off his head with my Zhen Yue Blade and threw it into the distance.
When I turned around, the young girl held onto the rest of the halberd and knelt to the ground, looking at me. Her mouth twitched, as though she were smiling at me, but she couldn’t say a word. She closed her eyes and passed away.
……
Han Yuan threw a kick at Yugo’s body and said, “B*st*rd, this man is even worse than an animal!”
Xiao Lie walked over. He was much calmer than Han Yuan and he softly spoke to me, “Commander, killing Yugo is considered a criminal act and signifies infighting among the military ranks. If the higher ups decide to pursue this matter, then it’ll become a difficult matter to deal with. What do we do now?”
I looked over at the Violent Thunder soldiers that were all kneeling before us and said, “They disregarded the violent crimes that the Dragonling Army were committing against the villagers and actually dared to call themselves an army of the empire. Force them all to lay down their arms and move their equipment back to the Royal Army garrison. Afterwards, escort them as criminals back to Tian Ling City. Furthermore, bring evidence of their wrongdoings and their collusion with the Dragonling Army. We have to make the first move. Hopefully there’s still a chance for us to turn this around.”
Xiao Lie nodded, “Yup, seems like that’s all we can do for now!”
