Chapter 41 (2/2)
“No matter how strong she is, she’s only one person, wielding one sword. Our compatriots are constantly joining the army. She can’t possibly kill us all. Don’t forget how we took down a stronghold city together. We’re only a step away from entering Lichuan Plains, and we’ll have everything then!” someone else also yelled immediately, raising the people’s morale.
“We have no way back, only forward!”
“Even if God stands in our way, we’ll make him disappear!”
“No fear, no fear, no fear!”
Within the army, several officers started shouting, and continuously repeated those few slogans to rouse their people’s fighting spirit.
They had no way of retreat, they could only move forward! Not even god could seal off their path of survival!
“You all know who I am.
“I was once your ruler, and let me ask you… while I was in power, did you have food?”
“Did you have clothes?”
Li Yunzi’s voice fell from the starry sky. Her words couldn’t be drowned out, no matter how noisy it was. Everyone could hear her clearly.
Suddenly, the rebel army was boiling!
The people looked up to the night sky, where someone stood on a long shining silver sword. Indeed, everyone recognized this person, because every city in Wutu had a statue of her!
Wutu’s ruler had kept changing. Only Li Yunzi had managed to control the nine cities of Wutu for a year. In that one year, there had existed hints of law and order in Wutu, but that very order had thoroughly disappeared after she was overthrown.
The flames of war had never died down. Bandits were rampant. They even experienced an autumn drought, forcing the people of Wutu into desperate straits…
“Don’t listen to her nonsense. After we charge past this city, we’ll have an endless supply of food, and clothes we’ll never get to finish trying on. We can establish a city state that belongs to Wutu, no longer having to be their slaves!” the strong, bear-like chief roared defiantly.
This rebel chief kept fanning the people’s emotions, keeping their excitement up.
Li Yunzi suddenly dove down, still on her sword, her figure flashing like a white bolt of lightning, passing through countless rebels in military armor…
The soldiers widened their eyes. By the time they reacted, fresh red blood suddenly spurted out from all over that burly rebel chief’s body!
Hot blood spattered on the faces of the surrounding rebel soldiers. Those soldiers were dumbfounded, watching as that chief’s head fell from his neck and rolled on the muddy ground!
He died!
Standing among tens of thousands of people, one of their chiefs died, just like that! The rebels still clearly remembered how this bear-like chief broke down the stronghold’s wall of shields with his brute strength. He was a meat grinder in war, but he died tragically to Li Yunzi’s sword in just the blink of an eye!
“The second chief is dead, the second chief is dead…”
“This vicious woman! Avenge the chief!”
“Avenge the chief!!!”
His death sparked fear in the rebel army, and that fear spread like a disease. Soon, some of the rebels raised their weapons frantically, charging towards Glory Valley City!
The rebel army roared. More and more people charged towards Glory Valley City, no longer caring about anything.
“Anyone who crosses the sword boundary dies!” Li Yunzi’s voice shot into the ears of every rebel once more.
However, the front of the army continued rushing forth crazily, the violent shouts of the army easily drowning out all thoughts!
