667 Final Battle Part Two (1/2)

The bleak horn sound rang through the sky. Hu Zhongyuan instinctively woke up from his sleep, shaking his head as he walked out to the building on top of the stone castle.

After a few months, it had become a habit. Even if he heard drums by his ear in the day, he could fall asleep. Once the sun fell, he would wake back up.

Along the way, there were numerous warriors lining up and heading to the city walls in an orderly manner, under their generals.

They were all new soldiers who rushed over in the past two days. However, after the battle last night they didn't look as lost as before.

Their eyes were still filled with terror and fear.

Hu Zhongyuan shook his head, standing at the tower with his machete drawn.

Looking out at the battlefield from here, one could see that the ninety-odd remaining stone castles were all prepared for battle.

This should be the strongest they had been since he came three months ago! Zong Gang and Ren Tianxing's elites who swept the west had already returned. Using mounts to replace walking, they finally managed to rush back within six days. A full million more troops arrived under this Seven Cloud Mountain.

It caused the troops gathered here to climb to 2.4 million.

Just his left wing had a full fifty towns!

Even if they were all surrendered troops and might not be fully dedicated, some were still angry at Gantian Mountain.

However, he was confident to gather their strength. With the experienced soldiers as the core, it was enough to maintain that these people were useful enough.

Three months of fighting not only saw his Martial Path improve in the tough battles but he also slowly became more comfortable with leading an army!

Hu Zhongyuan looked at the Night Demon army which was drawing close. There was a loud explosion and moments later the mountain shook, making it tough for one to stand still.

The sound shook so much that it caused one's eardrums to hurt. It spread hundreds of miles before stopping.

At this moment, not only did the soldiers under him turn around toward the source of the sound, but even the Night Demons were startled.

Hu Zhongyuan squinted and turned around. Without guessing he knew that Kong Yao had blown apart the final path toward Huizhou's mainland tens of miles out.

From this moment, the area beneath Seven Cloud Mountain was a death land. The two million people had no place to retreat to and nowhere to flee.

He didn't mind at all. He was already prepared to fight to the death so naturally he didn't care about there not being a way out.

What he needed to worry about were his subjects.

When he looked around, he calmed down.

Naturally, they didn't need to worry about the elites who came from Gantian Mountain.

The surrendered troops were holding up much better than he had expected.

Speaking of which, that woman had told this matter to the army a day ago.

Although there were many people who grumbled, since they were mentally prepared, they didn't panic as much as when they first heard about it.

Most people subconsciously looked toward the peak of Seven Cloud Mountain.

A bright golden light entered their eyes. Only then did anger appear in their eyes.

Although the Left Army Inspector had cut off everyone's way out, she also said that even if she died here today she wouldn't back off.

Hu Zhongyuan laughed but in his heart felt respect for her.

This woman's grasp of the human heart was so strong.

Although most of his men now had given up hope, they also had the intention to fight to the death.

Even the newly arrived surrendered troops were going to fight.

Huizhou was where they grew up in.

Instead, it should have had nothing to do with Gantian...

Squinting, Hu Zhongyuan casually waited until Chai Zhou stood beside him.

”The situation today doesn't seem right, that side looks like they are going to go all out...”

Looking out, they could see more than 100 square formations, each consisting of 10,000 men, orderly lined up 20 miles away.

The aura today was indeed a little different. Their pair of eyes were red in color, their formations sternly waiting whilst also burning with fighting intent.

What made them feel weird was that the 100,000 Grade Four Elites who Jia Mingluo had cherished were now on the frontlines.

Hu Zhongyuan laughed without much care, ”So what if it is different? Three months ago they couldn't crush us, so what if they go all out now?”

He looked worryingly towards the right side.

What he wasn't at ease about were the middle troops who took the brunt of the pressure.

Kong Yao, surprisingly, handed the control of them from Zong Yuan to Ren Tianxing.

This not only totally freed the Blood Cloud Cavalry but also allowed Zong Yuan to totally focus to commanding those 300,000 Elites.

But could that kid do it?

He felt a little jealous. He only gained such a position after many years in the army.
