Chapter 443
After pa.s.sing through the heavy human barricade, Si Bi and others saw several hundred soldiers from the Proud Moon Empire kneeling on the ground. They wore bloodstained clothes and their clothes were tattered beyond belief. Their hands and legs were tied behind their back and their body was subjected to Gravity Magic.
“They are the war prisoners from the Proud Moon Empire. What does Beitang Yu want to do with them?” Long Ling’er muttered.
Nangong Nu smiled a bloodthirsty radiance flashed in his eyes. With his coa.r.s.e voice, he muttered, “What else is there to do? Naturally, use them to commemorate the departed spirit of our brothers who died on the battlefield.”
“They are already unable to resist anymore. Why do you want to kill them?” Ximen Wuhen couldn’t help but ask.
“If we don’t kill them, do we nurture them? They are the elites of the Proud Moon Empire. They took part in burning, killing, looting and ambus.h.i.+ng our rear. Which one of them don’t have their hands tainted with the blood of our brothers? If we were to release them, they would only continue to kill our men.” Nangong Nu coldly snorted. The views of soldiers living on the battlefield and people who lived in the ordinary world was completely different. Their views seemed to completely differ from each other.
“Can’t you let the Proud Moon Empire pay to redeem them? Don’t tell me that all of you never acted like them before?” Long Ling’er said.
“Buy their lives with money? Ask the brothers of our Unparalleled Battalion. I am willing to bet all everyone will disagree with you. In order to capture them, our Unparalleled Battalion lost more than one hundred brothers. They only have one road left to walk. It’s the road to h.e.l.l.” Nangong Nu coldly said. None of them had ever expected to see such a ruthless expression on the face of a 15 year old youth.
Although the girls felt like no one listened to them, they knew that this was the military after all. Even Long Ling’er didn’t have the power to change the decision made by the general. Unexpectedly, a trace of admiration flashed in Li Qing’s ice-cold eyes. He stood at the side and looked at Nangong Nu with admiration in his eyes.
When the girls were thinking about how they could salvage the situation, Beitang Yu, who was standing on the platform, raised her hand. Two rows of crossbow-men from the Unparalleled Battalion raised their crossbows at her command. When the Soldiers from the Proud Moon Empire saw the tip of the arrows pointed at them, desperation rose in their heart. Despite being soldiers who already knew that they might
die on the battlefield, they still felt afraid when they were staring at death in the eye.
All of a sudden, Beitang Yu made a cutting motion with her hand. The arrows immediately left the crossbows and shot towards the troops kneeling on the ground. Sad and shrill blood-curdling screams resounded in the air. Before long, everything became quiet and the smell of blood permeated the air. Those soldiers from the Proud Moon Empire had forfeited their lives.
In an instant, blood drained from the faces of the girls. Especially Lin Na, Long Ling’er, and Ximen Wuhen. Although these three women might have killed several magical beasts before, they had never actually killed another human being. Killing magical beasts and killing people two completely different matter.
“Cut off their heads. Tomorrow, use bamboo shafts to display them to the enemy on the battlefield.” Beitang Yu coldly commanded without any fluctuation in her emotions. The moment she gave her command, a group of soldiers carried a huge sword in their hand as they strode over to the corpses. With a single slash, several hundred heads rolled on the ground like calabash.
*vomit*, Lin Na who usually was extremely fierce became the first person to vomit. She never wanted to see anything like this again in her entire life.
Beitang Yu slightly s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the girls. With a light jump, she appeared in front of Si Bi and the other girls. She brought along a unique fragrance when she appeared in front of them. Unlike Nangong Nu, the b.l.o.o.d.y and baleful aura Baitang Yu had on her was hidden. No one could imagine that such a beautiful woman was the person called the h.e.l.l Angel. She was the general who brought h.e.l.l upon her opponents on the battlefield. Leading the Unparalleled Battalion, she practically killed her way through the Proud Moon Empire. Even after battling against the five great legions belonging to the Proud Moon Empire, she had yet to suffer any defeat.
Beitang Yu stood in front of the few girls without talking. Although she didn’t say anything, she had an awkward expression on her face. Behind her awkward expression, she was laughing at herself in her heart. She was laughing at how she didn’t care about what others thought of her. Her opponent might slander her and her subordinates might fear her. However, she didn’t care about what they thought. She only knew that everything she did was because of Long Yi. She wanted to help her man build a big empire and nothing could stand in her way.
……………
In Blue Moon City, it was raining cats and dogs. The sound of a typhoon ripping through the city could
could be heard and the strong winds wreaked havoc. Claps of thunder could be heard and snake-like lightning bolts streaked across the sky.
As this was a coastal city, it was not uncommon for typhoons to occur. All the buildings in the city were designed to withstand typhoons. As such, there was no fear that the buildings would collapse due to the typhoon.
The imperial palace of the Nalan Empire was built on a steep cliff. The roaring sea waves were colliding against the cliff again and again, and the water would enter the rooms from the balcony when the gale blew towards the imperial palace. The taste of the sea was overwhelming to say the least.
All of a sudden, Long Yi opened his eyes. His sea of consciousness pulsated several times and the lightning spirit tablet hidden within the lightning vortex began to buzz. Long Yi immediately experienced a splitting headache.
The corner of Long Yi’s mouth twitched violently and he felt as though his sea of consciousness was being churned up by some unknown force. It was as though his sea of consciousness was Blue Moon City, and the unknown force was the typhoon. He gritted his teeth and gently left the beauties in his embrace. Getting out of bed, he trembled slightly.
“My husband, where are you going?” The moment she left Long Yi’s warm bosom, Nalan Ruyue woke up. She was startled and she rubbed her eyes as she looked at Long Yi who was leaving the room.
Long Yi resisted the head-splitting pain with great difficulty and calmly said, “It’s fine, I am just going to the washroom.”
Although he said he was fine, a silverish-purple lightning bolt flickered around Long Yi’s body.
“Ah, my husband, you……” Nalan Ruyue was startled and immediately jumped off the bed. She stretched her hands out in order to check on Long Yi. However, the moment she came into contact with Long Yi, she was knocked back a few steps. A numb feeling enveloped her and she couldn’t feel her fingers at all.
