359 Swelling Earth (1/2)
The sky became lit.
The campsite of Hule Division was a big mess.
The soldiers emerged from the walls of earth as they guarded the fugitives, swept the battlefield for survivors and looted from the campsite.
”Lord...”
Tong's face was filled with happiness as soon as he saw Fang Yuan making his way over. Without hesitation, he presented a piece of oracle bone. ”After predictions, it is confirmed that we have killed over 3,000 soldiers. We have actually only killed 1,000, but the other 2,000 were killings among themselves during the chaos. We have captured 4,000 of them, taken possession of 5,000 weapons. The rations and bronze are still unaccounted for. In addition, we have more than 2,000 horses now!”
”That's not too bad!”
Deep down, Fang Yuan knew that the credit for his victory and rewards belonged to the internal chaos in Hule Division.
”After this, all the elite soldiers in Hule Division are wiped out. With this piece of news, people would return to the North to continue living in the plains. We have finally settled the mess in the North!”
Fang Yuan casually added. ”I want at least half of all that we have looted. Split the remaining half as you wish, but don't forget the contribution to Yang City! Hmm, I want more horses as well!”
With these horses, Fang Yuan could train up his cavalry units for the future.
Based on the method of training which he adopted, the cavalry which he would train up would surely be stronger than that of the Hule Division.
”Of course!”
Tong had no intention to vie for the rewards and respectfully replied.
”Since all of this is over, we shall rest for one day before heading to Yang City to provide our assistance!”
Fang Yuan's eyes widened. ”Wei, you shall escort our loot back!”
”Hmph!”
The young woman heaved a heavy breath and agreed. She knew that she could not go against Yuan's orders and could only clench her teeth and carry out his orders.
...
Yang City.
The capital of Xia Country was now in a desolate state.
With the Jiuli Division army attacking and the assistance from the divisions from the East and West, they were formidable. Under the leadership of Xing, they killed their way to the vicinity of Yang City.
”Kill them! Kill all these Xia people to take revenge for the people of Jiuli!”
In one of the divisions, Xing roared as the blood inscriptions on his body glowed dimly. He waved his axe about and wielded a huge shield. Ferociously, he struck at the head of another division's leader.
”Ah... You cannot kill me! I am...”
This division leader was a dream master from the Realm Alliance. However, he could not finish his sentence as his expression turned to one of fear. ”Die!”
”Rumble!”
Above him, many small array flags appeared, forming an array. It was a killer array of a dream array master!
”Hmph... You are one of those mutants!”
Xing grinned from ear to ear. ”It's a pity... Who would even care about such a small spell?”
”How dare you call my Evil 7 Extremes Array a small spell?”
The dream master was infuriated. ”7 Evil Ghost Generals, kill!”
”Hehe!”
”Keke!”
From all directions, armoured ghost generals and soldiers emerged from a layer of fog. They had sinister smiles on their faces and fangs poked out of their mouths, dripping blood. Together, they floated towards Xing.
”You are the one to die!”
Xing exclaimed as the illusionary figure of a giant appeared behind him. The figure stretched out its huge hands and slammed down.
”Pa!”
It was as though the hand was slapping a fly. With that, the glow from the array dimmed and blood trickled from the nose of the dream master. The dream master took a few steps backwards; it was evident that he had just experienced a backlash.
Xing continued to advance and sliced his axe forward.
”Bang!”
As the axe made its way down, the dream master immediately became a bloodied mess and died in a gruesome fashion.
”Leader... Our leader is dead!”
As soon as the people of the division witnessed the death of their leader, they immediately ran for their lives.
”Haha... Go forth! Kill their men and capture their women. Kill those children taller than the length of a bronze sword, and keep the remaining as slaves!”
As Xing gave his command, the warriors behind him let out bloodshot eyes. However, these were all understandable.
If they didn't do this, how else could they vent out their years of hatred for the people of Xia?
With this, the division started to undergo destruction.
Outside the division, a person was witnessing everything. A slit appeared on his forehead, revealing a third eye.
'Xing is becoming too... scary! The peak of the Ultimate Witch Body would allow one to nullify most types of spells and would grant one immense power like a godly demon. This would make one comparable to a True Divine martial artist in the main world... To be able to kill a dream master in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage in one move would mean that he must be as powerful as Army Leader Chi years ago!'
”Monkey!”
Xing walked out with flames of passion burning in his eyes. ”I will be able to see the walls of Yang City in another day. Where are your promised allies?”
”This...”
This monkey was naturally the 3 Eyed Monkey. After being questioned, he became slightly embarrassed. ”Xing... Your army is advancing too quickly. The Sangjie and Kuayi Divisions from the East and West have already started to make their way, but they are facing resistance from the other divisions. They will need another 10 days before they can arrive at Yang City... As for the Hule Division in the North, they are already defeated!”
”Bunch of useless people!”
Xing scoffed and let out a heavy breath. ”This is especially so for Hule Division. Who was the one who defeated them?”
