248 The Pen and The Sword (1/2)
”Used up?”
Fang Yuan realised that not just Feng Xinzi, but even Venerable Fiery Dragon and Deity Clear Lotus were looking at him with disappointment.
”Do you know how valuable realm energy is?”
Deity Clear Lotus's finger shook. ”If brought back to Da Qian, it can be exchanged for at least a thousand contribution points. Some high-tier dream masters might even come up with their own offers to buy or even owe you a favour... Even if you are keeping it for yourself for self-cultivation, you can combine it with spiritual objects to improve its effect. Why would you do this... you're wasting it!”
”Eh... it's actually our fault for not explaining it to him...”
There was a look of pity on Venerable Fiery Dragon's face.
As for Feng Xinzi and Yu Tianlao, both of them had a look of suspicion on their faces. They were suspecting if Fang Yuan had told them the truth.
To Fang Yuan, it was extremely worth it to use a third of the realm energy from the Golden Dragon Lake to achieve a breakthrough in his own cultivation as a dream master. It was not a waste.
No matter how good the prospects were, practical gains were the most important.
Fang Yuan remained speechless as he glanced at Venerable Fiery Dragon and Deity Clear Lotus giving up their realm energies to lend them out.
”Hehe... Brother Fang, you seem to be very nonchalant about everything here!”
Noticing him, Yu Tianlao chirped.
”It's not that... I am only thinking. Throughout the years, Lie Country must have some sort of backing or source of power to remain in power. Are the five of us enough to take down the king...”
”Keke... Don't worry, my friend!”
Feng Xinzi waved his hands. ”I am already familiar with every person in Lie Country. No one is stronger than Golden Dragon God... except for the king of Lie Country. He has the protection of the realm energy, which makes it a little troublesome...”
”When do we strike?”
”Let's not delay things further. A day later would mean an additional day for the masters to prepare. Let's get ourselves ready and strike now!”
Feng Xinzi was decisive.
...
”Kill!”
Both lords, Chunhe and Huixing were Feng Xinzi's puppets. Just as Fang Yuan and company were making their last preparations, the commotion of chaos was heard as they prepare to invade the city.
”Bang!”
A huge catapult hurled a hundred-pound rock at the city wall.
As the rock crumbled into smaller pieces, it smashed into a few people, making blood spurt everywhere.
Those rocks which were slightly more accurate were flung just above the city walls, smashing everything in their way and resulting in a bloodied mess.
”Release the arrows!”
On the walls, soldiers were frantically trying to defend as they shot their arrows at the enemies.
As the enemies approached the walls, there were logs and rocks being rolled down, smashing everything in its way.
”Haha... the heavens are blessing the king!”
At the city gate, a general with a black face was laughing. ”They have yet to compose themselves but are already attempting to attack the city! They are seeking death!”
Although they didn't know the reason behind the haphazard enemy attack, he knew that if they continued to attack, they would slowly be weakened!
They were disorganised to begin with and could only survive by pillaging the villagers.
Now that they were attacking without organisation, they would not be able to withstand once the casualty rate rises. They might even crumble in the next moment.
'By then, I would get the credit for everything... should I counter attack them outside the city? If I can capture any one of the lords, I might be heavily rewarded!!!'
Just as his eyes were glittering with greed, he could see 5 shadows rushing towards the city gate at an astonishing speed.
”Who are those? Kill them!”
Although he knew that these 5 people were highly skilled, he did not panic.
After all, in his many years of experience in Lie Country, he was already familiar with the different ambushes from enemies. Therefore, he could naturally react to the situation.
The only thing he was unaware was that the 5 of them had abilities he could never have imagined.
The next moment.
”Rumble!”
There was a huge explosion and the city walls shook. The general almost lost his footing.
His ears were buzzing and bleeding, and he felt a little dizzy. ”What happened?”
As he struggled to crawl onto the city walls, he was dumbfounded.
Where the city gate once was it was no more. Instead, there was a huge hole, and 5 silhouettes were standing by it.
”What are you guys waiting for? Attack! Attack!”
The guards outside the city were shocked as well. As they slowly came out of their daze, their eyes were bloodshot. ”Those who enter the city will get riches and concubines... your pick!”
”Kill!”
Seeing that their strongest defence was destroyed, the attack soldiers were inspired. Attracted by the rewards, they shouted as they rushed into the city.
Compared to them, the guards within the city were stunned and unable to react.
Seeing the city gate being destroyed, their confidence was shaken.
Since their enemy had assistance from the gods, the only thing they could do was to run and escape!
”De... Demons!”
Looking at the five Illusionary Divine stage dream masters at the city gate, his face was flushed as he spat out a mouthful of blood. ”Even if it costs my life, I would fight all of you to my death!”
”Kill!”
”Kill them!”
