Chapter 572 (1/2)

Slaughter (2)

One person’s strength was limited unless they had an extraordinary plan. It was impossible to face such a large army like that alone. If they could, then any random Tian Heavenly fighter would’ve made the heavens collapse by now.

Also, that would mean the emperor would have to be a Tian warrior to be able to control these people!

This was evident from the time Ye Lang and the rest were escaping from Soaring Sky. This was a group that consisted of many masters and at least two Tian warriors. However, they still had to run in the face of such a large army.

Humans get tired, there will always be a limit…

Li Yue did not speak, merely glared at the general fiercely. She didn’t look intimidated at all. Did this girl have any fear in her at all?

This Sorceress was a trained soldier, she was trained to be calm no matter how powerful her enemies were. That was why she could calmly refrain from using the Tianji Armour even when her life was in danger.

The first rule of being a soldier: listening to your general!

But who was her general? For now, it was Ye Lang, and he was a very blur general…

“To be honest, you five thousand people aren’t that bad, you all might manage to kill Li Yue. But don’t forget this- you will suffer severe losses too, more than half of you will be killed by her! Have you ever thought about the price you’ll have to pay for this?” Ye Lang’s calm voice echoed across the fields.

“Price…”

The general stopped for a moment as if this was the first time he was considering the losses he’d suffer. He had only been thinking about his goal, he never thought about the price he had to pay for it.

Now that he thought about it, if they really fought, how many of his men would be left after the fight? From what just happened, at least half.

At that point, while he would achieve his goal, he would lose his men. Was that worth it?

Not at all!

But could he just drop the matter like that?

Probably not either!

“This is actually a very small matter, please don’t make these necessary sacrifices. We’re literally just travellers and we will not disturb you all. And if anyone comes after you scumbags, it would be Zhao Yarou,” said Ye Lang casually.

“...” Li Yue was silent. Oh my goodness, can you please stop being so honest? I know they’re scumbags but you can’t just say that! You can’t say that when you’re persuading them to NOT attack us!!

“Scumbags?”

“Zhao Yarou?”

…

Who does he think he is? Such arrogance, uttering the empress’ name just like that! And calling us scumbags too our faces too!

“Such recklessness! You dare utter Her Majesty’s name just like that? That is a disrespect to the empress herself!” Although the general still didn’t know who Ye Lang was, plus he did not really care if anyone insulted Zhao Yarou behind her back, out of habit, he still had to make a show of loyalty to the empire.

“Disrespect? Recklessness?” Ye Lang asked blankly. “I’ve been calling her Zhao Yarou since the day she became the empress. I’m not one of her subordinates, I don’t have to say ‘Her Majesty’.”

“What about before she was empress?” Li Yue asked suddenly. He seemed to imply that he called her something else before she became empress.
