Chapter 601 - Under City (2) (2/2)
Then before everyone can react, a shrill cry coming from the center of the marching army, gained their attention. But as they focused and heard what that cry is saying everyone froze in disbelief. Anxiety, panic, and fear can be seen in their faces.
Confusion immediately engulfed the army.
Although Shin Jiao didn't know what they were saying, he didn't care. He has already done his part and now it's that Queen's turn.
On top of the war chariot, laid two people, a man, and a female Li'ang. Both of their heads are incomplete and have their skull shattered. It was the enemy Queen and the human beside her.
While the commotion is happening, Queen Klo who just stopped charging suddenly showed a faint smile on her beautiful face. She then shouted for her army to continue advancing.
The next event has no thrill anymore. With the death of their queen, the colony is already destroyed. Unlike humans who have advance thinking. Most soldiers in the Li'ang army rely on their instinct and the command from their queen. And now that they are queenless, everything was in disarray.
The large army fell and the Under City won.
Queen Klo looks at the bloody scene in front of her and a happy smile is on her face. She was too elated and didn't expect that her army would not even suffer that big of a casualty.
”I've kept my bargain… now it's your turn.” Suddenly a man's voice said from above a tree.
Upon hearing that voice, a pleasant feeling came over her as she shifted her gaze towards the young man sitting casually high up the tree.
”My lord, this humble one is really grateful for your benevolence.” She said as she suddenly jumps down from her mount and kneels one knee on the ground while lowering herself.
She is not that stupid. This human can take weapons out of thin air and can make thunderous explosions and lightning. If he is not a god, then what is he?
With that, great respect was etched deep in her heart towards the deity who helped her people.
The victorious army marches back to their city while taking their spoils of war. Due to the panic of the other Li'ang army, they were unable to utilize the power of the iron sword and their armor. Hence the army of the Under City has gained far too many iron armors, weapons, and shields. These things are enough to make Queen Klo happy.
She knew that the humans are behind this attack, but she didn't care. No human would dare attack the Under City and that has already been proven from a long time ago even today.
Shin Jiao was given amount and was riding beside the Queen. Many female Li'angs gazes did not leave him which made him feel shivers run down his spine. This is especially true to the female generals beside the Queen. They are hoping for a better male to have a strong offspring.
Some of them even considered some humans outside. However, for them, regular humans are weak and feeble. So, how could they waste their time on those weak beings? But right now, they have here a very strong human with amazing fighting ability to command the elements, how could they not eye him?
But of course, they have to control themselves as they knew that the queen is interested in this human.
As Shin Jiao descends down through a large cave protected by a few strong Li'ang soldiers who look like barbarians with strong hairy tails on their backs, he saw a long tunnel.
For 30 minutes the army marches as he can feel that they are going down on a winding path.
Soon from the dimly lit cavern, he noticed a small light from ahead. As they drew closer, the light grew brighter. Shin Jiao was then greeted by an unbelievable sight.
Although he is underground and the concept of time in this place seems different, but he can feel the vibrant environment in this place. He was thinking that these creatures are living a caveman-like lifestyle and wore sackcloth just like those from above the ground. But it turns out that they lived like the dwarves in the movies with their magnificent caves and structures.
Plus the whole city is not dim at all. From above there are multiple small orb-like objects that light up the Under City and the Li'angs living in it. The houses of course are dug up earthen cavern with different designs.
There are even unique flower growing on the side, which baffled him because in this place though it is bright, there are no sunshine.
Shin Jiao is like an ignorant child who turns his gaze with interest in everything he sees. And this made Queen Klo smile in satisfaction.
”I guess even gods have things that they didn't know.” She thought as he took a quick glance at the man beside her.
As they continue traveling, Shin Jiao has seen many different things that he wanted to visit at least once before leaving this interesting place.
After thinking up to that, he just continues to satisfy his eyes for now while following the queen.
Soon, the army separated from the group following their commanders. The queen and the generals continue towards a looming palace which Shin Jiao can now see from afar. Not long later, he can now see a golden gate with many precious stones inlaid on the walls.
He just heaves s sigh at this scene.
As he travels in this underground city, he has noticed that even the roads have some precious stones on the side which would cause big trouble if it was taken above. However, in this place, it is being used as a decoration in a courtyard gate. How ironic is that?
