Everyone was gathered atop the wall of the stronghold, ready to fight the oppressors to their death
The old wo She then said slowly, ”The Young Chieftain hadn't paid his respects to the Chieftain yesterday, hence forgivemy respects to you then”
”That's a small matter What's the situation now?” Pei Zi Yun's expression was grave Their fierce and orderly demeanor had startled hiain, he noticed that although they still carried a fearsome aura, most of them were actually old and frail
With his level of skills, he can take on tens of fighters with his sword As for hundreds of people, his Dao arts would no longer be as effective against the masses With thousands of people it would be hard for hi killed
As for the group of old and frail people as soldiers, they would not be of much use as well
When the old woman heard Pei Zi Yun's words, she stepped forward to lead the way She then started to explain, ”Young Chieftain, thankfully our patrolling warriors realized that there were so to our stronghold Later on then we found out it was the other mountain tribes who had come to attack us”
Just as he was speaking, a few people joined up with the group of warriors below the stronghold Pei Zi Yun then looked outside At this point, the stars were flickering brightly overhead He then looked at the black, glistening river flowing some distance away He knew that this river stretched on forthe river were strong, and surged through the banks On the banks was a flat land, filled with a multitude of rocks and pebbles Next to the banks were the htly further up here theblack clothes around their heads, and black sheepskins were tied tightly to their ankles They wore flats that enabled them to move quickly, and carried torches
A traditional black robe and was standing in the middle, near a fire A raven sat perched on her shoulder as she held the staff of authority in her hands The warriors around her see to her, and she see
Three people had just joined up with the tribes The Priestess see to them as she pointed the staff in the direction of Pei Zi Yun and the rest of them The warriors around her then raised their swords in unison before shouting out a war cry
The warriors then started to split up Soh ladders, and others took out shi+elds A warrior then stood out a them He looked to be their leader, and shouted out towards Pei Zi Yun's stronghold, ”You all should surrender You can't escape We still have thousands of people behind us Why would you give up your lives for a dead man and a man whose history is a mystery to you?”
”The High Priest has already been dead for soback” The lead warrior's face was full of spite and hatred, as he shouted towards their stronghold
He Qing Qing listened but did not speak The old woman beside her stepped forward and shouted, ”You bunch of traitors Have you forgotten about the dignity of our old Chieftain? Today, you co days, you shall bear the full wrath of the Chieftain's punishments”
”And you, Li Zhu, have you forgotten how much the Chieftain favored and adored you? And yet there you stand, a traitor to the Chieftain and the Young Chieftain”
The wohed emotionless, ”Favor and adoration? He killed my father and my brother, and seized my tribe and commanded us to follow him Is that favor?”
”I waited day and night, until the day he finally died And I've waited for today as well, to kill off the person as to succeed him”
”I've waited for many years I shall destroy every shred of hopes and dreams that he had That is why I'm here today I rushed here as soon as I could, the moment I heard the news”
”Once I've killed all of you, I shall open his toround his bones into ashes and let him suffer the eternal curse of the deities”
When she arrived to the end of the sentence, her voice turned hoarse, her eyes were hed violently and had to be supported by several warriors The lead warrior then took her place by the fire
”Haha, the High Priest had long died, and shall never live again There's nobody to control the veno Chieftain has the sah Priest If that were the case, ould've retreated a long tio Why are we here then?”
”The venos have not attacked us Since you cannot control the poisonous insects and snakes, and you refuse to surrender, then you shall all die!” The lead warrior was s eerily as he spoke In his voice, the disdain and intense hatred was palpable He then shouted, ”Sons, who ah Priest? Let's kill them all Kill all the old and weak peasants above”
The warriors below gave a cry of acknowledge forward
He Qing Qing looked down at the rushi+ng group of people, her eyes were filled with despair and anger However, she did not remain idle Instead, she ordered, ”Everyone prepare stones and start boiling our ater”
Pei Zi Yun followed her orders and looked up at their stronghold He realized that there were plenty of large boulders Beside those boulders, there were a pair of hot pots and were boiling so within A foul smell ensued from the pots
”Boo ladders had been swung towards their walls As people started cli the ladders The old woman then ordered, ”Release the boulders!”
Several woether to lift the boulders atop the wall The big and able-bodied y for when the fighting gets more cruel and intense
”Release!” Instantly, ten huge boulders fell in a straight line from atop the wall and knocked several people off the ladder as they screa to the ground

The entire atent excreony could be heard Several mountain warriors had their entire faces burnt, as they fell off the ladder, screa in pain Even people who had worn ar excrement Sht off their bodies, revealing white bones
The people who had been burnt by the boiling excre burnt Additionally, there was a ton of bacteria and ots within the manure which would infect their burn wounds Infection would inevitably set in soon Unless they received Dao healing, there was no possibility of survival
The pungent sony caused several eneround Most of the surrounding enemies had look of fear on their faces
'These war tactics are similar to my world Sino-Turkish wars tactics'
'Although the stronghold had been prepared for such an attack, alas their numbers could not match up to their vast army There is no way to prevent the eventual loss'
The young woh they had s manure down Anyone who tried to scale the walls were immediately obstructed However, all these manures and boulders would eventually be used up When that happens, they had nothing to fall back on
Another old woled to throw a boulder down Her entire body was hot with perspiration Pei Zi Yun then asked, ”Do they have any bows and arrows, for ?”
