The military camp of the Chen Country was attacked for the fourth time these days. Although it was the first time for the Chen Country’s soldiers to see those people from Dazhou, they still felt scared subconsciously. Such a small troop had lost many soldiers in the first three attacks, and it could be said that they were beaten generals and remnant soldiers. How would they dare to attack them for the fourth time?
But the Chen Country’s soldiers soon reacted and fought against the less than thirty thousand soldiers from Dazhou. Moreover, they instantly controlled the situation on the spot.
Xue Zhong walked around the Chen Country’s military camp and rushed to the granary at last. After attacking for four times, the North Army was on the decline and it was almost impossible for them to do something in the future, so they decided together to burn all the food of the Chen Country’s soldiers when they attacked this time in order to give Shaoliang City more time. All of them avoided talking about how many of them could stay alive after burning the enemies’ food.
Xue Zhong wiped the neck of a soldier from the Chen Country with his broadsword and the hot fresh blood splashed on his face. He didn’t mind and stabbed another enemy’s chest after taking back the broadsword. Afterward, he conveniently cut off another one’s neck next second. Looking at the fierce fight, Xue Zhong roared, “Don’t hesitate. Go to the granary.”
Xue Zhong was clear that if they couldn’t burn the granary today, it was pointless no matter how many soldiers they had killed. Even if the two hundred thousand soldiers were pigs, they couldn’t be wiped out in a short time.
While approaching the granary, they could see more and more soldiers from the Chen Country. Xue Zhong wiped his face, which was full of blood stains then. In a place about one hundred steps away from the granary, he grasped the broadsword in his hand and walked silently.
There were screams while fighting everywhere in the military camp, and perhaps only this place was much quieter.
Many soldiers from the Chen Country were guarding outside a tent next to the granary, and the commander who led two hundred thousand soldiers was inside, but he looked at the two uninvited guests in the tent in confusion.
In front of him were two teenagers, one boy and one girl. The boy was dressed in grey clothes, with a machete on his back, while the girl wore black clothes, with no weapon.
The boy was handsome and the girl was beautiful.
But since this two could come into the tent secretly, the commander wouldn’t think that they were ordinary people.
He frowned at these two guests and asked in a low voice, “What can I do for you two?”
Obviously, the commander who had worked in the army and the imperial court of the Chen Country for half a lifetime cared a lot about his life and was afraid that he would die here after making a wrong decision, so he didn’t dare to speak loudly for he feared that the boy and girl would take actions all of a sudden. In fact, the commander was in the most important period of his life. As long as he could defeat Dazhou, he could become the first man in the country’s army after returning to the Chen Country. Then he would be a king or a high official and be worshiped by the people. After he died, his posthumous title would even possibly be one of the top military officials in the Chen Country’s history. He had a bright future, so he didn’t want to die for no reason.
The girl in black glanced at him and sneered, “Are you afraid of death?”
The commander looked terrible but didn’t reply.
While the boy with a machete on his back seemed to speak boldly in defense of justice, “It’s normal for a person to be afraid of death. Why do you satirize him?”
The girl in black didn’t say a word but looked at the boy calmly.
The boy scratched his head and decided not to provoke the girl. While he took a step forward and came to the commander, looking at the leader who controlled two hundred thousand soldiers.
“I came to the Luosang River to kill people, and who I will kill is uncertain. If you don’t help me, I will kill you. If you help me, I naturally won’t return kindness with ingratitude, and I will kill others.”
The boy smiled at the commander.
The commander took a deep breath and looked at the boy twice. Then he glanced at the girl before asking in a soft voice, “How can I help you?”
The boy smiled, “There must be many cultivators in the more than ten tents over there. I came to kill those people. Look at me, and you might not believe it, but this girl next to me is really a demoness and will eat people if she is unhappy. We don’t need you to do anything but transfer the soldiers around the tents and give us a quiet space. Of course, you don’t need to worry about anything after you help me. I am sure to solve your problem in the future. At that time, everybody would be dead, and nobody would know what has happened.”
After speaking, the boy stretched out his hands and stared at the commander, waiting patiently for his answer.
The commander frowned, “What if I don’t help you?”
The boy remained silent and soon took out the machete from his back, cutting off the commander’s head at lightning speed.
The fresh blood was all over the floor.
Before withdrawing his machete, the boy looked at the headless body on the floor and laughs, “I can do nothing but ask you to go to hell.”
The girl in black was expressionless, “You didn’t want him to stay alive in the first place?”
The boy took it for granted, “All the generals in the North Army of Dazhou were killed, and it’s not too much for me to kill a commander from the Chen Country. Moreover, this guy is quiet, and I am worried.”
The girl said peacefully, “Great. Li Fuyao, I like your character.”
Li Fuyao pretended not to have noticed the sarcasm in her words and didn’t mind. He asked, “What shall we do next? How about you kill all of them? Don’t need to leave anyone to me.”
Qing Huai disagreed, “I have found that the one in the tent in the east is almost at the same level as you, and it will be not difficult for you to kill him. I will isolate the tent from the outside with a magic tool. Just relax and kill. No need to worry.”
Li Fuyao suddenly turned his head and asked, “Isolate? Then you don’t know what is happening inside?”
Qing Huai rolled her eyes and glanced at Li Fuyao, without saying more. Then she just turned around and walked out of the tent. Li Fuyao sighed and walked out with her. He glanced at the camp with lower screams and then headed to the tent in the east.
At the same time, Xue Zhong who was next to the granary had few soldiers left behind him. He looked at those tents and grinned. After throwing a torch, he shouted, “Kill!”
In a corner of the camp, Wu knelt on the ground and his stomach was cut, with his bowels on the ground, but this old soldier from Dazhou who could still breathe stared at the direction of the granary and finally grinned with difficulty after seeing the flames to the sky.
Wu was unable to say anything but looked calm.
Before he closed his eyes, it happened that a teenage boy with a machete on his back passed by. He came to the old soldier and squatted in front of him.
Li Fuyao reached out his hand to the old soldier’s shoulder, and a wisp of energy was transmitted to Wu’s meridian. Li Fuyao states, “We can win this battle.”
Li Fuyao’s energy removed a great part of Wu’s pain, and the old soldier responded feebly, “Sure enough. How can Dazhou be destroyed easily?”
Under the situation, Wu didn’t ask if the boy was from Dazhou, but he didn’t believe that Dazhou would be destroyed.
Li Fuyao nodded and then got up, dismissing the energy before walking slowly to the tent in the distance.
Wu closed his eyes gradually.
In the darkness at night, Li Fuyao stepped into the tent.
