Roooar!

At this moment, a bestial roar came from the fortress, causing the walls to vibrate.

A hairy and savage head suddenly emerged from behind the towering walls, the eyes even larger than a man.

The King Ape!

All three of the scouts instantly recognized this being.

In that previous battle, the power of the King Ape had branded itself into the minds of the alliance soldiers like a nightmare. Seventy to eighty of the powerful Yeluohe had died to the King Ape’s feet, their bodies crushed into pancakes by the King Ape.

Those Yeluohe had no opportunity to display the abilities of their undying bodies. But at this time, the King Ape was paying no attention to the three alliance scouts outside. Its attention was also drawn to the blazing fires on the walls.

“Take it!”

Hearty laughter rang out, and then a familiar figure seized a roast pig and threw it at the King Ape.

The King Ape opened its bloody maw and swallowed the roast pig in one bite.

“It’s him!”

The three of them were stunned. If that general on the wall wasn’t Wang Chong, who else could it be?

A sharp cry came from the walls. “Your Highness, enemy attack! Alliance scouts have been discovered outside the walls!”

Atop the wall, Wang Chong was seated on the main seat and was gazing at the burning bonfire in front of him. Upon hearing that cry, he glanced over and instantly spotted the three alliance scouts outside.

“Not good! Run!”

The three outside the walls saw Wang Chong’s gaze and shivered, their souls almost fleeing their bodies as they turned their horses around and began to ride back the way they had come.

The King of Foreign Lands was incredibly strong, so strong that not even Genesis Supreme could do anything to him. It would be different if they ran into anyone else, but if it was Wang Chong, so long as he wanted to strike, they had no chance of escaping.

“Heh, let them go. Today is a feast for the troops, a day to celebrate and make merry, not draw blood. When it comes to matters of war, let them be resolved on the battlefield!” Wang Chong lightly said as he drew back his gaze.

At his level, Wang Chong had little interest in lowly soldiers like this.

Everyone exhaled in relief upon hearing Wang Chong’s words.

Wang Chong was the supreme commander of the Great Tang, and his orders were absolute. Since he had spared their lives, they naturally didn’t need to do anything.

Seeing that the three were hesitant to leave, Wang Chong was taken aback, but he quickly understood.

“What? You want to eat this?” Grinning, he glanced at the fire, tore a leg off a roasting lamb, and threw it over.

“Though we are at war, emissaries are not to be executed. This lamb leg is for you!”

After throwing out the lamb leg, Wang Chong withdrew his gaze. He calmly gazed at the fire, smiling as the soldiers drank and ate.

Outside the walls, the three alliance scouts had complicated expressions as a struggle took place in their minds. On one hand, they were enemies at war. But on the other hand, it had been a long time since they had tasted gourmet food, before the first blizzard of the cold wave.

Compared to the whole roast lambs and pigs the Tang were feasting on, the rations the alliance had might as well have been blocks of stone.

If not for this, the three of them would have never been so easily lured over by the food of their enemies.

After a brief moment of hesitation, they came forward.

It was just one lamb leg. So long as none of them mentioned it, nobody would know.

But a moment later, their faces froze.

When Wang Chong had thrown the lamb leg from the wall, it had still been piping hot, yellow and tender. But only a few moments after being thrown from the wall, it had been frozen solid and covered in white frost, becoming as hard as rock.

Their faces shifted between green and white.

On the wall, Wang Chong was completely unperturbed.

With the entire world frozen over, the only reason Wang Chong was able to roast pigs and lambs on the wall was that he had designed the fortress to have many areas with small formations that could draw energy from under the ground to resist the cold. In the range of these small formations, the cold-resisting effect was much stronger, and they could block out the wind and raise the temperature to an almost normal level. Their small range meant that these formations did not affect the large formation.

They also allowed the soldiers of the Great Tang to enjoy piping hot food.

As for the alliance soldiers, granting them a lamb leg was already good enough. Wang Chong naturally wouldn’t take the pains to do anything else for them.
