Chapter 265: City assault battle! (2/2)
In order to avoid this situation, Gu Qianqiu broke off relations with the Western Marquis without any hesitation.
Gu Qianqiu was the great scholar of the kingdom.Although he didn’t have any real positions, he could still represent the Southern Summer Country.The least he could do was make sure Chu Tian wasn’t angered!
“This marquis does not have time to quibble with you, the royal order is here!”The Western Marquis, Shangguan Hong raised the token high up, “Listen to my orders, begin to attack the city!Kill the rebel Chu Tian and anyone who blocks us is guilty of rebelling!”
Shangguan Hong was ready to fight it out.
Wasn’t it just offending the great scholar?
Insulting the Shangguan Family like this, he would have grudges formed with the Shangguan Family.If they retreated out of fear of the great scholar, where would the Shangguan Family’s face go? Since it had reached this point, he could only brace himself!
“Attack the city!”
“Attack the city!”
Shangguan Hong waved the command flag.
The drums began to beat around them as the bugles rang out, like the roar of a giant beast.
The heavy infantry of the Southern State formed into two lines that were prepared to charge into Central State City like giant shields.
“Good!”Gu Qianqiu jumped high into the air and held the foot of a griffin as he returned to Central State City, “Then let’s fight it out!Hear my orders Griffin Knights, defend the kingdom’s city to death!”
Li Hu’s expression became a bit ugly, “Leader, this…..”
The royal knights all hesitated.One side was the Western Marquis with the Refined Ruler’s backing, the other was the Southern Summer’s great scholar, Gu Qianqiu.Neither of them could be offended!
“Did you not hear the order?”Cao Bao clenched his fists, “Go and protect Central State City!”
Being able to become one of the royal knight’s leaders, Cao Bao was not an ordinary person.He lived in the Imperial City, so he knew what kind of person the great scholar was. The great scholar had a reason to act in this strange manner and although Cao Bao didn’t know why, the great scholar was willing to offend the Shangguan Family without any hesitation, so what could Cao Bao do?
First, the royal proclamation ordered the royal knights to follow Gu Qianqiu.
Second, Gu Qianqiu’s backing was the Dongfang Family.Not only was he the great scholar of the Southern Summer Country, he was also the first minister of the Shangguan Family.The royal knights all pledged their loyalty to the royal family, which was the Shangguan Family.
Could Cao Bao help the Shangguan Family go against the first minister?
Gu Qianqiu had a high status in the Dongfang Family and if he was chased off in anger, the one who loses the most would be the Dongfang Family!The Three Great Clans competed with one another, so this would make the Shangguan Family and the Nangong Family happy.
If they lost Gu Qianqiu, how could the Southern Summer King forgive them?
Since they had to offend someone and they had to pick one, they would choose to offend the Western Marquis!
The countless number of heavy infantry moved forward with incomparably heavy steps, advancing towards the Central State City gates.This was a troop formed from the barbarian tribes and were all barbarian warriors with strength that surpassed normal warriors, so the gates could not block them for long!
“Kill!”
A hundred Griffin Knights entered the air and let out a piercing long cry that shook the world.
“Griffin Knights?!”The Western Marquis forcefully waved the command flag, “Divine Arrow Battalion, shoot!”
The sound of bow strings releasing came from the Southern State army, creating sharp whistling sounds, as a large mass of spirit energy infused arrows flew out.
It was like a swarm of locusts.
It was like a dark cloud rising.
This created a magnificent scene.
“Quickly send my orders!”Chu Tian’s expression slightly changed, “Make the citizens go home and hide in their basements.Before the battle ends, they can’t come out!”
This war was inevitably beginning!
The Southern State army was too strong.Although they had the Griffin Knights led by the great scholar, this was going to be a bloody battle!
“Charge!”
“Protect Central State City!”
Cao Bao’s griffin charged down and the other royal knights followed behind him, charging right into the dense mass of arrows.
The griffin gave a long cry.
Its wings created a gust of wind that formed a protective layer, deflecting most of the arrows.The royal knights charged through the rain of arrows without a single injury, charging at the dense crowd of heavy infantry.
“I want to see how many waves you can block!”The Western Marquis gave a cold snort, “Continue shooting!Second battalion and third battalion, go around the sides and cover the assault team!”
The battle drums rang louder.
The Southern State army was about to show their true strength!This was an elite team of a hundred thousand troops!
There was no danger around Central State, so there weren’t many troops to begin with.The Southern State troops had attacked Central State City too suddenly, so Central State City could not bring in other troops for reinforcements.
This was destined to be a hard fought battle!
