BXBX NOVEL Chapter 676 - 676: Sieging the city-I
Chu Prefecture city.
On the towering city walls, there was a huge three-story tower. Standing on the highest floor, one could see dozens of miles away.
In the lobby on the top floor, a middle-aged man leaned on a knife and sat on a big chair draped in tiger skin.
He was wearing a heavy armor made of tempered steel and a Scarlet cloak. He had a pair of narrow and sharp Phoenix eyes. His facial features were quite handsome, and he looked very similar to Emperor Yuan jing.
This person had the sharpness of a general on the battlefield, and the awe-inspiring pride of a noble. He was the kind of person who was born to hold a high position in power, and his aura was extraordinary.
The North vanquishing Prince of Dafeng.
The Prince’s life experience was legendary. He had been strong since he was a child and could tear tigers and leopards apart with his bare hands, but he was by no means a brute. On the contrary, King Huai was much more intelligent than his brothers and sisters.
King Huai loved to kill and was obsessed with martial arts. The late Emperor once said that the seventh Prince was the divine general of the country who was bestowed by the heavens. Thus, he did not pass the throne to him.
King Huai himself didn’t care. For him, as long as he could reach the peak of martial arts, power would naturally come. The status of a Prince was only a helping hand on his way to the top of the martial path.
In this world, some people were obsessed with beauty, some with money, some with power, and some with cultivation.
King Huai was in charge of the Army at the age of 15. At the age of 20, he was invincible in the capital. At the age of 25, he guarded the North. It had been 16 years since then.
His most glorious time was 20 years ago when he followed Wei Yuan on an expedition. He was the Deputy general and killed countless barbarian Masters with the nation-guarding sword.
He was evaluated as the second hero in the Battle of Shanhai Pass.
“Report! ”
A black-robed secret agent quickly entered the hall with his head lowered. He knelt down in the hall with a stack of secret letters in his hands.
The North vanquishing Prince reached out his hand, and the secret letter automatically flew into his palm. He opened the secret letter and read it one by one.
The first secret letter was a confession. The secret agents had tried their best to search the border, but they still couldn’t find any traces of the Queen and the four barbarian leaders who had kidnapped her.
The second secret letter was about Zheng bu’s Messenger who had escaped in the city. The letter said that the swordswoman of the flying Swallow, li Miaozhen, had successfully made contact with Zheng but s Messenger. When the heaven secret agent was intercepting her, she was stopped by a Buddhist master and unfortunately, li Miaozhen escaped.
The third and fourth secret letters were military intelligence. The 20000 cavalrymen of the Qingyan tribe had moved out in full force. They didn’t bring any supplies and were marching at full speed towards the Chu Prefecture city.
The leader of the monster race in the North, Zhu Jiu, led his monster race to the South and headed straight for the Chu Prefecture city.
They did not pillage the people along the way and did not try to attack other cities. They had a strong sense of purpose as they pounced on the Chu Prefecture city. The Chu Prefecture city was very close to the border. Before dusk, the cavalry of Qingyan tribe and the demons under Zhulong would arrive at the city.
The secret letter in the North vanquishing Prince’s hand turned into powder. He waved the spy away and stood up from his chair. Looking at the empty Hall, he said in a deep voice, ‘
“They still found out.”
“This is expected. Many people know about mu nanzhi’s miraculous abilities. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at you, waiting for you to improve your cultivation and steal her spiritual reserves. Even though you’ve been keeping a low profile all these years, there are still many people who can estimate your cultivation. We massacred the Chu Prefecture city and hid it for close to a month. This is already a very successful plan.”
A voice resounded in the hall in response to the North vanquishing Prince.
“How much longer until we’re done?” King Huai looked straight ahead, his face calm.
“Six hours,”
The voice chuckled. don’t worry. You should know that the life essence of mortals is useless to you. You must refine them into blood pills. Heh, 380000 people. Naturally, it will take time and effort. Of course, if I didn’t need to make soul pills, I would’ve made blood pills ten years ago.”
After a pause, the voice continued, ” if you lose mu nanzhi, you won’t be able to advance to rank-2 even if you take the blood pill.
we’ve already thought of a way to make up for it, haven’t we? ” the North vanquishing Prince said indifferently. don’t worry. I won’t break my promise to you.
The voice laughed hoarsely, “it’s. win-win situation …” Someone’s coming.”
At the gate, a figure flickered. It was the one-eyed state protector, que Yongxiu. He had a long saber at his waist and one hand on the hilt as he strode over.
“King Huai, we still haven’t found Zheng xinghuai’s whereabouts.” Que Yongxiu said in a deep voice.
“After this battle, if I advance to the second stage, I don’t need to care about his life or death. If I lose, I have a way to protect you, so don’t worry.” The North vanquishing Prince said indifferently.
The country protector, que Yongxiu, let out a sigh of relief.”Are you confident in this battle?”
The North vanquishing Prince slowly nodded.
Que Yongxiu immediately smiled and sat down on the chair in a bold and confident manner. He smiled and said, ‘
“It’s about time for Da Feng to produce a second-rank martial artist. These years, the northern barbarians and demons have been arrogant and despotic
skin Zhu Jiu, and extract his bones to make soup for the soldiers.”
A smile appeared on the serious face of the North vanquishing Prince.
Que Yongxiu had been his study partner when he was young. They had led the
Army together from the Battle of Shanhai Pass to the North. They had been on Golden Horses for nearly 20 years, and their relationship was deeper than that of Blood Brothers.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been entrusted with the city-wide massacre.
The sun gradually moved to the West. The soldiers standing on the city wall squinted and saw a cloud of dust on the horizon. Countless cavalrymen were galloping over. And behind the cavalry was a Green Giant that was two Zhang (six meters) tall.
They were here.
“Dong Dong Dong!”
The sound of the drums shook the surroundings, and the soldiers on the city wall immediately moved. They methodically prepared the city defense equipment, such as Rolling Stones, kerosene, and chopping wood.
The news that the Barbarian Army was about to attack the city had already been sent back to Chu Zhou city. Neither the officers nor the soldiers were flustered..
