C50 (2/2)

”Your Highness, this …” A certain guard looked at the mountain peak in the distance and the bottomless cliff. He could not help but feel puzzled.

What were they doing here so early in the morning?

There was simply no way out in front of him. The only thing he knew was that as long as he could reach the mountain on the other side, he would be in the Dongjing Country's military camp.

”Where are the things This King asked you to prepare?” With that, the bodyguard beside Nangong Lin handed him a thick and long rope.

The soldier's eyes were fixated on the rope. No one understood what the rope was used for.

”Move.” With the order given, the guards beside him immediately reacted.

He took out the rope he had prepared earlier and tied one end of it to a towering tree. Then, he tied a stone in front of the other end of the rope and threw it away.

The guard pulled hard to ensure that both sides were secure.

”Prince, it's done.”

Nangong Lin nodded and shot a glance at the guard.

Soon, the guard handed something slippery back to the soldier.

After the distribution was completed, the lead guard demonstrated and tied the rope to the rope. Like that, he followed the rope between the two mountains and arrived at the other side of the river.

The soldiers stared at the guard opposite them with their mouths agape. They had never thought that there would be such a method for them to reach the top of the mountain so easily.

”Follow me.” Nangong Lin was the second one to slip through the rope.

Soon after, the soldiers arrived at the other side in an orderly and safe manner.

”Is everyone here?” Seeing that it was not too early, Nangong Lin decided to count them all and proceed with his next plan.

”Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone said in unison.

”Let's go.” Nangong Lin brought his elite troops and smoothly traversed through the mountains. They soon arrived at their destination.

Beneath their feet was the army camp of the Eastern Mirror Kingdom.

The soldiers were all excited. Under Nangong Lin's lead, they could finally have revenge and avenge their wrongdoings. They would have to take back the humiliation they had suffered a few days ago.

”Archers, get ready.” Hearing Nangong Lin's words, the archers dispersed to the side of the mountain in succession. They had finished concealing themselves and were only waiting to take action.

After a long while, the archers did not receive Nangong Lin's order. However, they had a lot of trust in Nangong Lin and had been waiting patiently the entire time.

Nangong Lin's gaze was locked onto the area below him, the expression on his face completely calm.

He was waiting for the right moment, a chance to catch the whole of the Mirror Kingdom in one fell swoop.

At the foot of the mountain, one could only see a vast expanse of white tents. Other than the soldiers guarding the camp, Nangong Lin didn't see anyone else.

Perhaps, this was an empty city stratagem. There might not be anyone in the military camp.

In order to ensure that there were no mistakes, he had already ordered the general to coordinate his actions.

”Knock knock.” The battle drums sounded and the sound of the horn was heard.

Nangong Lin, who was standing at a high place, could already see Liu Zhitian, who was riding a warhorse, charging over. Behind him were tens of thousands of soldiers.

The Mirror Kingdom had long noticed this situation and immediately prepared to meet them head on.

In an instant, the originally sparse open space was filled with soldiers. From where Nangong Lin stood, the people below were as minuscule as ants. As long as he used a bit of strength, they could easily take their lives.
