382: Chapter 381: I can die, but before I die, I want to live like a human being (14th update) 382: Chapter 381: I can die, but before I die, I want to live like a human being (14th update) In an instance, over ten thousand Vanguard Battalion soldiers who had rushed out with Chu Jiangliu wiped out the Qi Family Army.
Only the Warrior Hawk remained under Lin Bai’s feet.
The Warrior Hawk, shivering all over, pleaded with Lin Bai, “Lin Bai, Prince Consort, don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake.”
“Prince Consort, I beg you, don’t kill me.
I will work as a beast of burden and a slave for you, please spare my life.”
The Warrior Hawk begged desperately.
At this time, Chu Jiangliu came over and looked at the Warrior Hawk with immeasurable anger.
Lin Bai asked coldly, “What else does the Qi Prince’s Mansion have planned?
Was the fall of Nanning Pass also the handiwork of the Qi Family Army operating covertly?”
The Warrior Hawk replied, “Yes, yes, yes, it was the Qi Prince’s Mansion that had me hand over the defense map of Nanning Pass to Tuoba Feng, and it was also me who covertly opened the city gate of Nanning Pass, which led to its fall.”
“Prince Qi also said that within ten days, a significant change will occur in the Imperial Capital.
By the time the First Princess returns to the court, the person sitting on the Dragon Throne of the Imperial Capital will no longer be Bai Huatian, but Prince Qi.”
“Prince Qi additionally promised me a noble title, allowing me to become a Military Marquis, a Prince!”
Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed, revealing a murderous intent.
Chu Jiangliu said, “Lin Bai, if the Qi Prince’s Mansion has had rebellious intentions for a while, I’m afraid the Imperial Capital is in danger now.”
Lin Bai nodded solemnly and said, “Prince Chu, it seems we can’t wait for reinforcements from the Imperial Capital.
I’m afraid the reinforcements won’t come.
Now, we can only rely on ourselves.”
Chu Jiangliu asked, “But how can we turn defeat into victory now?
The disparity in military strength is too vast.”
Currently, there were only over four million troops in Jia Yueguan, while the Dayue Kingdom had over ten million troops in the Southern Region.
Furthermore, at this moment, there were still many troops rushing from the Dayue Kingdom.
The Dayue Kingdom wasn’t far from the Shenwu Kingdom.
If they had marched at full speed, they would be able to arrive in around five or six days.
By then, even if Jia Yueguan went all out, they would not be able to withstand the onslaught.
The Warrior Hawk stuttered, “I have told you all I know.
Prince Consort, Prince Chu, can you spare me a way to survive?
I, the Warrior Hawk, swear to leave Shenwu Kingdom forever, never to return.”
Lin Bai said coldly, “Traitors are never forgiven!”
“No–” The Warrior Hawk saw Lin Bai slashing down with his sword and screamed in despair.
A sound of squelching!
Lin Bai decisively beheaded the Warrior Hawk with a single stroke of his sword.
Turning his gaze, Lin Bai saw that the city gate had been closed, and a magic circle was forming.
The crisis at Jia Yueguan was temporarily averted.
However, at this moment, Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu, along with the ten thousand Vanguard Battalion soldiers, were in danger.
Because at this moment, the army of the Dayue Kingdom had arrived.
Rumble–
The sound of hoofbeats swept across, and dust filled the air.
Tuoba Feng led an army of a million to unstoppable advance to the base of Jia Yueguan.
He had just received a message from the Warrior Hawk in the military camp and had rushed over immediately, but in the end, he arrived a step late, and the city gate had already closed.
“Damn it!
A step too late!”
Tuoba Feng saw the city gate close from afar.
Upon arriving at the base of Jia Yueguan, he looked at Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu with anger.
Tuoba Feng sneered, “It seems they have left you outside?”
Chu Jiangliu moved closer to Lin Bai, weapon in hand, glaring at Tuoba Feng with a tiger’s gaze.
“What should we do?
Prince Consort.” Chu Jiangliu said gravely.
Now that the million-strong army of the Dayue Kingdom had circled around, Chu Jiangliu and his mere ten thousand Vanguard Battalion soldiers really stood no chance against them.
“Lin Bai!”
At this time, the First Princess came from the Commander’s Tent to the city wall.
She learned that the city gate had been closed, while Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu were still outside.
The First Princess leaned out over the city wall, her eyes full of concern as she watched a blood-soaked Lin Bai at the gate.
Tuoba Feng glanced at the First Princess and said lightly to Lin Bai, “This prince offers you an opportunity.
If you surrender and kneel down now, I can spare your lives.”
“If you resist stubbornly, there is only a path of death!”
Tuoba Feng raised his Treasure Sword.
Instantly, from within the million-strong army of the Dayue Kingdom, a roar that shook the heavens resonated, “Surrender and Live!”
“Surrender and Live!”
“Surrender and Live!”
“Surrender and Live!”
Deafening shouts accompanied by a powerful military force struck,
which frightened some of the soldiers beside Chu Jiangliu and made them retreat quietly.
“Are you scared?” Lin Bai asked the soldiers around him.
“We, we, we’re not scared!”
These soldiers were trembling with fear, but they still clenched their teeth and spoke.
Tuoba Feng roared angrily, “Surrender or not!”
Chu Jiangliu gave a cold smile: “Kneel and bow to me three times, and I will surrender.”
Tuoba Feng, driven to anger by shame, roared, “Bow and Crossbow Unit, shoot them dead!”
Instantly.
With the order from Tuoba Feng, a rain of arrows rained down.
Lin Bai charged out with all his strength, swinging his sword angrily at the sky.
The sword qi swept across the army, blocking the rain of arrows.
“Ah -”
Just then, screams of agony came from behind Lin Bai.
Lin Bai turned his head to look, and tens of thousands of soldiers had died under the rain of arrows.
Only Chu Jiangliu had managed to evade in time, unharmed.
Now, only Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu stood under the city wall.
“No!” Chu Jiangliu’s eyes were bloodshot with anger.
“No!” Lin Bai too let out a mournful scream.
The soldiers who had attacked with Chu Jiangliu and Lin Bai were all dead now.
A soldier grabbed the corner of Lin Bai’s robe, the blood from his hand staining Lin Bai’s robe red.
He asked with a smile, “Prince Consort, are we…
are we…
are we heroes?”
Lin Bai’s eyes were bloodshot, his face was fierce as he said, “Yes, you all are heroes.”
“Prince Consort, live…
live…
live on for our revenge!”
“Live on and protect the Shenwu Kingdom!” The soldier held on to Lin Bai’s hand as he breathed his last.
“Hahaha.” Tuoba Feng saw tens of thousands die under the onslaught of arrows and began laughing in delight, “Lin Bai, Prince Chu, are you going to resist in vain?”
Chu Jiangliu whispered to Lin Bai, “Prince Consort, give the order, and I will rush out to kill this scoundrel.
One death is enough, two will be a profit.”
Lin Bai, with bloodshot eyes, said nothing.
Tuoba Feng sneered, “What’s that?
Lin Bai, do you really think you can survive in this situation?”
“Come here and kneel down.
I can spare your life!”
Hearing Tuoba Feng’s words, Lin Bai took two steps forward, coldly saying, “I can die, but before I die, I want to live like a person.”
“Other than my parents, I will not kneel to anyone else, and I won’t!”
“Besides, I don’t believe you can kill me!”
“Tuoba Feng, remember this.
I, Lin Bai, will protect the Shenwu Kingdom at any cost, and you will turn into a ghost under my sword!”
Lin Bai said indifferently.
Tuoba Feng was infuriated by Lin Bai’s words and roared, “You are simply incorrigible!
Bow and Crossbow Unit, turn the two of them into sieves!”
With a roar from Tuoba Feng, from the formation of Dayue Kingdom’s army, arrows rained down like a torrent, aiming at Chu Jiangliu and Lin Bai.
Chu Jiangliu’s face paled as he looked anxious.
Under such a dense rain of arrows, he and Lin Bai didn’t have any chance to dodge!
“Go!”
Lin Bai turned around and grabbed Chu Jiangliu’s shoulder!
“Go?
Where to go?” Chu Jiangliu asked in panic.
Just then, Lin Bai, gripping Chu Jiangliu’s shoulder, spread out a pair of purple-blue wings from his back.
Lin Bai, carrying Chu Jiangliu, shot into the sky.
The city wall of Jia Yueguan was about a kilometer high, even a warrior of the Divine Elixir Realm couldn’t climb it.
But at this moment, Lin Bai, holding Chu Jiangliu, shot into the sky like a meteor, rising to the top of the kilometer-high city wall!
“What!”
“He can fly!”
Many of the soldiers in the Dayue Kingdom’s army exclaimed.
Tuoba Feng saw Lin Bai fly into the sky, dodging all the arrows, landing safely on top of the city wall.
His eyes filled with unprecedented horror!
“Damn!
Damn!
Damn!”
Furiously, Tuoba Feng roared at Lin Bai on top of the city wall: “Lin Bai, let’s see how long you can be complacent.
When the City-Destroying Cannon arrives at Jia Yueguan seven days from now, it will be the end of Jia Yueguan.”
“And all of you will become souls under the iron hooves of the Dayue Kingdom!”
“Wait for your death!”
Tuoba Feng roared.
