C65 (1/2)
After seeing three orange colored lanterns light up at the city's gate, the young new Tenth Tiger King sprung up from the ground and dashed toward the Moqiu City in the distance. Wealth, status, glory, everything was in front of him!
Behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers followed. The soldiers bit on the cloth strips in their mouths, their eyes staring straight at the Moqiu City s which could only be seen from the dark night. Their gods were there, their Messenger of God s were there, and their gods and Messenger of God s were being tormented by the rebel army. They were going to save their gods and their Messenger of God s, there was nothing more important than this in the world!
For this matter, they could hide quietly from more than five kilometers away, almost sneaking under the Mo Qiu without making any sound. Then, with the order from their superior, they started running at full speed. Even so, everyone was still tightly biting the piece of cloth. No one made a sound. Even if he fell down, he would roll to the side of the road at the first moment and only after confirming that he wouldn't affect the progress of the following brothers would he silently stand up and join the queue.
However, the soldiers suddenly realized that the troop had stopped. Some of them even bumped into the backs of their comrades in front of them before stopping in their tracks. However, the order was unmistakable. It was to stop the march and remain on standby.
The thousand steps from Black Qiu to Moqiu City were filled with the soldiers under the command of the Ninth Tiger King. At the very front of the group, the young Tenth Tiger King was in a daze, because in front of him, other than the opened city gate, there was also an old man.
Chen Tianming was actually not that old. He looked like he was around fifty or sixty years old, but his skinny body made him look extremely weak. But in the entire Moqiu State, no one had ever dared to go against his intentions, because he was the envoy of the Messenger of God. Especially at this moment, when he was holding a bloody head in his hand, no one dared to look him in the eye.
Chen Tianming looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him. He secretly channeled the Beast God's power within his body, causing the light that was originally tightly attached to his body to become even brighter. It made him look like a sun. Only then did he ask indifferently, ”Soldiers, tell me, do you still know me?” His voice wasn't very loud, just like an old man talking to himself, but everyone could clearly hear it.
Numerous people from the Moqiu Army knelt down as if they had been pushed by a mountain of gold, and lowered their heads. Only then did they dare to shout the long famous ”Greetings, Lord Messenger of God!”
Chen Tianming's face revealed a smile, and nodded his head: Soldiers, let me ask you again: Are you guys still loyal to Beast God?!
The soldiers' replies were like rolling heavenly thunder, crashing down towards them. ”Swear your allegiance to them, no one dares to disobey!”
Chen Tianming raised his voice again: ”Then, are you willing to kill traitors for the Beast God?!”
”Yes!” This time, almost all of the soldiers raised their heads and roared towards Chen Tianming.
”Alright!” Calm disappeared from Chen Tianming's face, and anger that could be seen with the naked eye arose. He raised the head in his hands and shouted loudly, ”This thief wants to rebel, and is blasphemous! I have already killed him myself! ”
Silence. Everyone fell into a deathly silence. That head belonged to none other than the Ninth Tiger King. It was the Ninth Tiger King who had told them that ”the Moqiu City has been taken by the traitors, and we are going to rescue the Beast God and the Lord Messenger of God”. Right now, Lord Messenger of God was standing right in front of his Moqiu City. His body was emitting a miraculous glow, and the truth was revealed the moment he raised Ninth Tiger King's head.
Some of the soldiers had already begun to cry. What was this? Had he been tricked into quelling the rebellion? And the result? He became a rebel? If not for the timely appearance of the Lord Messenger of God, and the fact that he had charged into the Moqiu City and brandished his scimitar towards the peaceful Moqiu City people, what kind of consequences would have happened? He himself had become a traitor to the Beast God, and would be pinned on the shame of the Moqiu State for generations to come!
Looking at the crying soldiers in front of him, Chen Tianming's tone of voice softened once again. ”Soldiers, I know that you were only lured here. Those who do not know will not be blamed, I do not blame you! But I want to ask you two a question, are you willing to fight for the Beast God? Do you still want to believe in Messenger of God? ”
”Yes! We are willing! ” The soldiers' replies were not as neat, but their roars were not weak.
Chen Tianming glared at him and said, ”Then my orders! First, take down Tenth Tiger King! Then, the entire army turned around and attacked the disorderly army! Destroy them all under Mo Qiu! ”
”Yes sir!” Tens of thousands of soldiers roared like thunder.
The moment he saw the monk walk in, the old Tiger King basically understood that when he opened the wooden box containing his son and his head, the old Tiger King who had been rampaging through the Mo Qiu area for more than ten years did not shed a single tear. No matter what, there was a price to pay. If one wanted to become a supreme expert, then they had to have the resolve to lose their head! Other businesses could still be discussed, but for this kind of thing, other than success, it was just hope. There was no other option.
He politely invited the monks to take a seat and drink some tea, indicating that he still had some mundane business to attend to. The monks, too, wore smiles on their faces. They were well-mannered and did not utter a single word.
He went to his own small tent, the old Tiger King first asked the guards to burn an incense before inviting the monks, then he went in.
When the monks followed the guards into the small tent, they saw the neatly dressed corpse of the old Tiger King.
The monks were not surprised at all, all of this had been said to be right by the Lord Messenger of God. When the few monks came to deliver the box of heads, Lord Messenger of God had already specially instructed them: ”Old Tiger King is already over sixty years old, be courteous and let him have some dignity.”
Lord Messenger of God gave the old Tiger King the dignity she deserved, and the old Tiger King gave the answer she deserved.
The rebellion that had affected the two great Tiger King s had been quietly eliminated, but the battle against the chaotic army of fire and phoenix was not over yet.
Lord Messenger of God sent a group of monks to take over Ninth Tiger King and the rest of the Tenth Tiger King. They hurried over together and attacked from three sides, surrounding the expedition army that was being led by the Xiu'er completely.
Xiu'er, Chen Chu, Qu Feizhi and the others were helpless. The three of them had thought about all kinds of situations and deduced all kinds of processes, but they never thought that Ninth Tiger King would lose so quickly. They couldn't even hold on for two hours, much less a day. They were so fast that just as the Xiu'er and the rest left their camp, they were blocked by the's original group who had just turned around. The three armies, with nearly two hundred thousand soldiers, trapped Xiu'er and the rest in the middle like a giant sack.
Strangely, they were just besieged and did not rush up to launch a massacre. Two hundred thousand against two thousand, that was just what you'd call a massacre. A hundred against one, he could spit himself to death. However, even in such a situation, the opponent didn't attack but only encircled him. Moreover, they would be surrounded by a siege, and they would not be allowed to have any thoughts of breaking out. ”As long as there was a tiny spark that wanted to break out of the encirclement, the other party would ruthlessly slap it out.
They seemed to want to use their lives to wash away their shame. When the monks who represented the Lord Messenger of God appeared, their bravery seemed to have increased by almost multiple times, and this bravery was most intuitively manifested through the number of casualties in the battalion.
When she was trapped, Fat Cui who was recovering from her injuries volunteered to stand out. He said that the new soldiers of battalion had already made up their minds to follow Xiu'er, they can't be so heartless! In order to show their loyalty, all the members of the new generation of battalion were willing to fight for the life of Xiu'er!
Chen Chu nodded his head in agreement. Qu Feizhi and strong man also nodded their heads in agreement. Just as Fat Cui received his orders and left the room, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi quickly spread the map on the table. They hoped that the new battalion would be able to last a little longer, so that they could escape in different directions.
