Chapter 217 The Ancestor on the Payroll

Lin Zhan watched the approaching lizardman troops, then turned to Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe, saying:

"Father, Father Zhen, you must be extremely careful. Our Lin family cannot afford any more losses."

Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe exchanged a look and replied to Lin Zhan:

"Alright, you kid just focus on keeping your own battlefield safe and don't capsize in a ditch. When it comes to life-and-death situations, your two fathers are more experienced than you. Don't worry." S u d a n N o v e l N e t

Then, Zhang Zhen turned and shouted behind him, "Thunderclap Legion, assemble! Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."

Lin Zhan, with red eyes, watched the backs of Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe leading the Thunderclap Legion out of the city.

The other two fortresses were experiencing the same scene.

Bai Qi's God of Slaughter Army was divided into three parts, with the other two led by his two vice-generals.

They also marched out of the city to rendezvous with the three great legions.

The Golden Legions of the Borg Clan and the Sanchez Clan, under the command of a group of lizardman officers, paid a quarter of their casualties before finally breaking through to within five kilometers of the city walls.

Seeing the well-prepared Huaxia Three Great Legions and the God of Slaughter Army, their eyes turned bloodshot, filled with killing intent.

"My warriors, it is time to avenge our kin! Slay the human army before us, break through the human city ahead, leave none alive."

"Leave none alive! Kill!"

"Kill! Charge!"

Enemies meeting with intense hatred needed no more words; the two sides crashed into each other fiercely.

Lin Zhan waved his hand, and the Great Shang Ancestral Court Guard, a force of eight thousand men, charged directly at the leading generals of the Golden Regiment.

At the same time, eight commanders of the Ancestral Court Guard immediately surged towards Davies.

Davies, worthy of being a renowned general, was also focused on capturing the enemy's king.

Several lizardman Kings specially tasked with protecting Davies led their troops to charge at Lin Zhan.

Lin Zhan watched the personal guards of Davies charging at him and chuckled:

"You look ugly, but your thoughts are rather beautiful. Did you think you could kill me so easily?"

Immediately after, Lin Zhan spoke into the shadows behind him:

"My esteemed Ancestors, come out and warm yourselves up."

Liu Che, Liu Xiu, Suan Ni, Ba Xia, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, Li Guang, and other Great Han Kings jumped off the city wall and met the charging lizardmen.

At the same time, another majestic general, clad in white armor and holding a bright silver spear, emerged from behind Lin Zhan.

And a mighty general in black heavy armor, with a fierce and imposing build, wielding twin halberds.

These two were the most famous bodyguards from the Three Kingdoms period of Huaxia.

Changshan Zhao Zilong and Elai Dian Wei.

Lin Zhan looked at the two and said, "Ancestor Zilong, Ancestor Dian Wei, my meager life is entrusted to both of you."

"Young Lord, do not panic. With us here, these crawling insects cannot harm you even a little bit,"

Dian Wei said in a booming voice.

The Eight-Headed Serpent, hidden in the shadows and having transformed into human form, saw Lin Zhan's meticulous preparations and countermeasures.

He couldn't help but cover his face and say, "Damn it, how afraid of death is this cheap uncle of mine? How many contingency plans has he prepared for himself?"

Lin Zhan's defense was like an iron barrel.

On the battlefield below, the Three Great Legions and the God of Slaughter Army were locked in a fierce struggle with the Golden Legions of the two lizardman clans, falling into a stalemate.

Zhang Zhen's spear was like a dragon, bringing boundless killing intent as he cut down the surrounding lizardmen.

Simultaneously, Lin Shanhe's powerful saber cleaved through nearly a hundred lizardmen before him.

"Big Brother, although the lizardmen are slightly weaker, there are too many of them. A prolonged stalemate is greatly disadvantageous to us."

Zhang Zhen glared at Lin Shanhe and said, "Damn it, brother, when did you learn to speak like those Japanese people? What's up, do you plan to keep a mistress in Fusang?"

Lin Shanhe froze, then roared, "Nonsense! Big Brother, don't try to ruin my marital relationship with Xinlan! Besides, if anyone is going to keep a mistress, it'll be your fine son-in-law."

Zhang Zhen pouted, "Damn, I'm happy for my son-in-law to keep me. I'll raise his children for him."

Although Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe were bickering, their hands did not stop.

Each strike they made took away several lizardman soldiers.

Li Siyi, who had dug a large pit and buried himself in it, exposed a pair of sharp eyes.

"Judging by the situation, it's about time. Other than these two elite units, the other lizardmen can't break through."

With that said, Li Siyi emerged from his hiding place and took out a tiger tally with a troop-mobilizing space.

With a flash of golden light, a full three million Mo Dao soldiers, whom Lin Zhan had spent a fortune assembling, appeared on the battlefield.

Li Siyi waved his hand, "First Legion, clear out all the lizardmen ahead. Second Legion, charge to the left. Third Legion, charge to the right. Slay all lizardmen, leaving none alive."

"Yes!"

The Mo Dao soldiers swung their massive Mo Dao blades, charging at the lizardman elites engaged with the Three Great Legions with imposing momentum.

The Mo Dao soldiers lived up to their reputation as the pinnacle of heavy infantry in Chinese history.

As the huge Mo Dao blades were swung, they carried immense destructive power, hacking the lizardmen in their path into pieces.

Li Siyi led the charge, specifically targeting the lizardman generals and commanders. Neither quasi-kings nor kings could withstand him for even a single round.

Zhang Zhen, Lin Shanhe, and other Huaxia generals saw the Mo Dao Army and shouted excitedly:

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived! Let's put in more effort and quickly finish off these amphibious reptiles. Afterward, I'll go to the commander and request rewards for all of you, and he'll treat us to good wine."

"Haha, Shanhe, it should be a wedding banquet, shouldn't it? Our grand-nephew and Brother Zhen's grand-niece should be getting married soon, right? We uncles and elders must attend the wedding feast then."

A general from the Thunderclap Legion said with a smile to Lin Shanhe.

Zhang Zhen chuckled upon hearing this and said happily:

"That's a must! All you uncles and elders must be there. Although our Thunderclap Legion has successors, we old brothers cannot be missing. We must all attend the wedding banquet for my daughter and son-in-law."

"Hahaha, Brother Zhen is right. Not a single one of us old buddies can be absent."

The soldiers of the Three Great Legions, seeing Li Siyi's reinforcements, were like they had been injected with chicken blood. With red eyes, they brandished their steel swords and spears, hacking fiercely at the enemies before them.

Lin Zhan saw that the battlefield had become a one-sided affair and chuckled:

"This money wasn't spent in vain. Look how fierce Ancestor Li Siyi's Mo Dao Army is."

Then he seemed to realize something and said to the young Daoist priest beside him:

"That's not right, brother-in-law. I remember when we allocated military pay, the Mo Dao Army reported five million soldiers. Why are there only three million here?"

The young Daoist priest was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Damn it, could it be that these old Ancestors are embezzling funds?"
