Chapter 228 Fighting Dong Zhuo (2/2)

”Oh? Do you want to fight? Sure! Let's fight it out. It's simple this way.”

Diao Chan turned back and glared at the fat dictator. Her full-power killing intent locked on him, and the aura of an ex-eight-wing devil pressed on Hua Xiong and Dong Zhuo.

The two victims of the oppressing killing intent began sweating profusely even though it was already winter. Dong Zhuo felt suffocate as he could not control his chest and lung to breath.

The horse of the two neighed as they were panicked, kicking and wailing. Without the ability to control their horses, Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong panicked as well. The two horses without the control of the masters ran back to the army behind them as they were scared by the killing intent.

Hua Xiong stared at Diao Chan in astonishment.

'That was an elite warrior's killing intent! But she is only a snorty wench? Is this a joke?'

Meanwhile, Dong Zhuo's condition was not as good as Hua Xiong. His right fist kept smashing on his chest as he could not breathe. As he choked, Dong Zhuo's complexion paled while his snort and drool dripped from his mouth.

'Not good! She wants to kill the lord using her aura alone!'

Hua Xiong attempted to pull the reign and make his horse rush to Diao Chan and the others, but his horse did not follow after his command. Feeling helpless, he leaped off his horse and dashed toward Diao Chan with his halberd.

Liu Yu, Wang Yun, and Diao Chan's bodyguards noticed the incoming general. They shouted, ”Protect Her Majesty!”

Diao Chan also clicked her tongue. She switched her aura target to Hua Xiong.

Anxiety and fear overwhelmed the charging general, yet he did not stop rushing forward.

”Petty trick!” He shouted as he swung his polearm, killing the soldiers who rushed to help the group.

Hua Xiong roared as he dove into the oncoming bodyguards, ”ALL UNITS, ATTACK!”

Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers heard the command of their general. They relayed the order to everybody in the back, and the trebuchets began hurling stones.

The siege began!

Diao Chan did not stop oppressing Hua Xiong with her mental attack, which made his body sluggish by the fear he was experiencing. The bodyguards used this chance to thrust their spears at the isolated general.

”Humph!”

With one halberd swing, Hua Xiong deflected all incoming spears. He took five steps back to create a distance while he did not lose sight of Diao Chan.

”Die, witch!”

Like an Olympic athlete, Hua Xiong threw his halberd like a javelin, aiming at the little girl.

*POEK*

The halberd missed its target and killed a bodyguard in front of her instead. Because of the weight of the halberd and the different balance between the shaft and the blade tip, it could not be thrown like a straight javelin.

Seeing that he missed, Hua Xiong retreated back to his lord, hoping that Dong Zhuo had not died from the mental attack yet.

Liu Yu and Wang Yun sighed a relief after the threat had passed. They checked their little empress if she was fine.

They became panic again.

Diao Chan was bleeding from her eyes and nose as she had over-exerted her mental power with her human body. She collapsed and fell unconscious after Hua Xiong decided to leave.

”YOUR MAJESTY!”

”DIAO CHAN!”

The two ignored the battle and retreated back to the city, carrying the fainted girl to the palace.

At the other side, Dong Zhuo managed to regain his breathe after Diao Chan shifted her attention to Hua Xiong. His pale sweaty face was unsightly as he went through the torture of suffocation.

”That little wench is not normal! Get rid of her! Attack the city and kill everyone!” Dong Zhuo ordered with a hoarse voice.

…

The siege battle continued without the supervision of Diao Chan and Wang Yun.

Liu Yu took charge as the grand commander of the battle. As the battle took place on a large scale, both side could not get the upper hand on the other.

Dong Zhuo Army could not breakthrough the legion formations in front of the wall, so all siege towers and ladders could not reach the wall. His infantries and cavalries suffered serious damages from 10,000 archers on the wall as 20,000 of them lost their lives, but they did not die in vain.

Liu Yu's front 40,000 soldiers also suffered heavy casualties as they were attacked by Hua Xiong cavalries and bombardment from the trebuchets. Half of them died from today combat, but they managed to block the path from all siege ladders and towers.

At night, the royal palace.

The old man stayed back in the palace to be by Diao Chan's side. The physicians in the royal palace did their best to tend the little girl's condition.

Every physician was baffled by Diao Chan's sickness. It was not a sickness that a child could get as it was something that was caused by being mentally stressed to the limit.

It was a sickness of an overworked warlord!

An hour after the physicians nursed Diao Chan, she opened her eyes again.

”Diao Chan!” Wang Yun cried.

”Oh? I'm still alive?”

”Yes, you are. You idiot! What happened to you? Why did you suddenly collapse like that?”

”The war?”

”Liu Yu is commanding the troops at the moment. We're still doing well.”
