444 Tianshuang County Falls (1/2)
When the butler Song Tianli’s actions, he turned around, looked at the latter, and cupped his fist.
”Thank you, Elder Song.”
Song Tianli waved him off and walked away. In his eyes, this butler was only a servant; he was just a servant in a somewhat higher position.
In the end, he was still a servant.
Hence, facing such a person, Song Tianli did not have the mode to deal with him.
When the butler saw this treatment, he lowered his head modestly, but coldness flashed in his eyes, _Stupid fellow, to actually underestimate me like this. Today is the death day of your family._
After Song Tianli had completely left, the butler waltzed into the relay.
When he passed the guard, he purposely stared at him arrogantly.
The guard did not bother reacting.
The butler walked into the relay and found the manager.
When the territory built a relay, the system would naturally spawn a manager to be in charge of the collecting and sending of mail. The manager did not belong to the territory, so if he died, he would revive in a day.
The manager laughed as he waved, ”Guest, are you sending or receiving?”
”Neither.”
”Neither? Then what are you here for?”
”To kill you!”
”You!”
Before the manager could even finish his words, a needle stabbed into his heart with lightning speed. The poison entered his body and spread, causing him to die instantly.
This unassuming butler was actually a martial arts expert the Yuan Family had spent a large sum to hire. For this operation, the Yuan Family had really expended a lot of effort.
With a flash of white light, the body of the manager disappeared. He would only revive a day later. The guards outside did not hear anything, so naturally, they would not enter to take a look.
The butler cleaned up the scene and walked out cooly. Just like that, they had sabotaged both the teleportation formation and the relay, completing blocking the Tianshuang County’s communication route to the outside.
After the butler left, the arrived at a remote alley and shot out a signal bullet before disappearing.
”Who shot the signal bullet?”
Song Wen had just gotten up and was training in the courtyard.
”Men!”
”Present!”
”Go investigate.”
”Yes, my Lord!”
At this point, any small movement would trigger his sensitive being. His Father was trying to rally the family and as the eldest son, he had to ensure that nothing went wrong with Tianshuang County.
When he woke up, Song Wen already felt that something was off. When he suddenly saw a signal bullet, he felt a bad premonition, as if something big was about to happen.
Just as Song Wen was frowning deep in thought, the two hundred thousand troops of South Alliance had swarmed toward Tianshuang County. The huge army directly entered the surroundings of Tianshuang County through the teleportation formation.
The moment they received the signal, they immediately charged out of the camp.
The guards at the city gate trembled in fear upon seeing the huge army bear down toward them.
Two hundred thousand troops; when they lined up together, one could not see the end of them. Instantly, a black tide gathered around the city and swarmed toward the county like a flood, as they threatened to swallow up Tianshuang County clean.
Under the blue sky, the black flood charged, their flags waving in the sky.
Formation after formation gathered up orderly, sword-shield soldiers, archers, and cavalry. In the midst of the troops were siege chariots, trebuchet, as well as archer turrets.
Before the army even reached the city, their overbearing presence engulfed the city.
The killing intent covered the sky, making it hard for one to breathe.
”Kill!”
”Kill!”
”Kill!”
The heaven-breaking shouts reverberated through the wilderness.
The soldiers stepped forward along with the beat of the drums, as they shouted their chants. They crushed everything in their way to dust. The commoners living outside the city were all killed; they did not even have a chance to run away.
Within several square miles of the city, the soldiers filled any and all empty space.
Run? Where to?
Amongst the formation, an arrow rain shot out and sent the commoners down the path of the Yellow Springs.
The army did not even flinch, as they stepped on the bodies and moved on. They did not waste any time. It seemed like they felt they had not killed people with lives but a bunch of ants.
In a chaotic world, what pity remained?
The city gate was a disastrous mess.
”Don't squeeze; don't squeeze!”
”Let me in; let me in!”
”Son, where's my son; has anyone see my son?” Amongst the crowd, a madame was walking in the opposite direction, looking worried.
”Close the gates. Quick, close it!”
At this crucial moment, the city guards did not even bother about the lives of the people and directly pulled up the drawbridge. They killed anyone who dared try and stop them.
”Ah, murderer! The army killed people!”
”Devils! You are all devils!”
”You are all going to hell!”
”It's me, your neighbour, save me!” One woman shouted at one of the soldiers, anxiety evident in her words, but her voice still contained a thread of hopefulness.
That guard seemed as calm as water, like he was totally deaf, as he waved his sword. However, on his face, two stream of tears flowed down.
These people were their neighbours; some were even their family members.
Today, however, the soldiers needed to sacrifice them, what kind of cruelty was that? That woman was killed amidst the chaos before she could be saved; her expression filled with shock.
The other woman, who had lost her child, was still shouting out to try and locate him.
