”Kaboom!” A thunderous explosion echoed out.
The rain of arrows combined with the downpour as they sliced through the air. The Southern Region soldiers tried to look at the arrows...
However, they could not see in amongst the heavy downpour.
Then...
Screams of pain rang out as soldiers fell to the arrows only to be trampled by their charging comrades.
However, they did not have any regrets. After all, they were soldiers.
”Boom!” The charging horde finally crashed into the Great Xia soldiers. The bloodbath had begun.
The sound of the horn rang out at the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement. It pierced through the air and rallied the troops of the Southern Region. All of them straightened their backs and fought with renewed vigor.
”Die!”
”Die!”
All of the Great Xia soldiers thrust with their spears as they tried to hold the line. The archers continued to fire arrows into the horde of Southern Region soldiers...
Bodies fell to the ground.
Blood stained the earth and clumped up in pools.
Xing Qingsui was on the frontlines, flanked by dozens of soldiers. His black sword continued to swing as he sunk the blade into the body of a Southern Region soldier.
”Have the flanks advance and flank the enemy!” Xing Qingsui ordered as he drew his blade from the chest of a Southern Region soldier.
”Yes!” One of the bodyguards raised the flag in his hands and passed on the order.
Just at this moment, a beastlike roar echoed out.
It was the general of the Southern Region.
His eyes glowed green as he addressed Xing Qingsui with an icy glare. The leather cloak on his back was prickly, almost like spines on his back.
He raised his sword high up in the air and killed the two soldiers in his way. In a single bound, his beast appeared in front of Xing Qingsui.
”Go to hell!” He roared, a domineering aura exploding from his body. This general was extremely powerful.
He was probably in the advanced stages of the Supernatural State.
How powerful was Xing Qingsui?
Heavenly Reflection State... in the face of this general, his only option would have been to run.
However, when Xing Qingsui saw the general charge up to him, he smiled. It was a smile of anticipation and relief.
He did not retreat.
In fact, he did not even move. He watched as the Southern Region general brought the blade down on his head. He did not even blink.
”Boom!”
A thunderous sound echoed out.
Then, a column of light shot skyward from behind Xing Qingsui. It was like a gigantic sword.
At that moment, a head flew into the air.
That was the head of the Southern Region general, his eyes wide in disbelief. He simply could not understand how he had been killed.
Then, a figure leapt up from behind Xing Qingsui, grabbing the head of the general before landing on both feet.
The rain continued to wash the blood into puddles.
The ground was slick with blood, the grass trampled constantly. The moment one leg was lifted, another stamped down on them.
”The general of the Southern Region is dead! Follow me and take over the Icy Monkey Settlement!” A crisp voice rang out as he raised the head of the fallen general.
In that instant.
The intense battle came to a standstill. All of them turned to look at the figure who held the head of the fallen general in his hands.
That man had worn the armor of the ordinary soldier.
However, when he raised the head high up in the air, his armor was sliced open by rays of light, revealing a purplish golden robe.
Traces of calm were embedded within his expression of determination. It felt as though he had everything under control.
”It's Xing Hou!”
”Oh my god, Xing Hou is in the Southern Region!”
”We have hope!”
All of the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty were invigorated when they saw this man. Before this, they were fighting out of desperation. But now, they had a beacon of hope.
Xing Hou, Xing Yuanguo of the Stabilization Constabulary.
The pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty and the leader of the 13 Constabularies. His battle exploits were legendary.
Even King Duan himself would not dare say that he was more influential than Xing Yuanguo.
”Mountain Breaking Army!”
”Here!”
”Clear a path!”
”Yes!”
The voices replied in unison.
Then, they shed their ordinary armor, revealing the bright, shining armor underneath. They charged behind Xing Yuanguo.
If the Southern Region soldiers were wolves tearing into a flock of sheep.
Then the Mountain Breaking Army was the tiger hidden amongst the sheep.
They shot out like an arrow from a bow as they carved a path through the ranks of the stunned Southern Region soldiers.
Too fast.
It had all happened too quickly.
It was so fast that the Southern Region soldiers did not even have a chance to react.
They had the upper hand all this while. However, they never expected that their general would die in the heat of battle.
Then...
Xing Hou of the Great Xia's Stabilization Constabulary led the Mountain Breaking Army through their ranks. The Mountain Breaking Army was notorious. All of them knew that this was the elite army of the Stabilization Constabulary.
What was going on?
The soldiers of the Southern Region could not react in time.
