Chapter 16

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Great Xu nation was too small.

The capital only had five thousand people therefore there were no secrets in this city.

Yang Xu had informed the army yesterday to prepare for battle and arranged for the follow-up work of the various departments. The news had spread throughout the entire city by today. Even a child would know that the nation had discovered other tribes.

The subjects of the Great Xu nation gathered around the army and discussed worriedly.

“This is the first time the nation has encountered another tribe, and it could also be another kingdom. What do you think the people of other kingdoms look like?”

“You still have to ask? Wasn’t there news yesterday that they looked similar to us?”

“Are you not talking nonsense? Even we look quite similar to each other in terms of look.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

“But we must believe in the king. As long as the king is here, our nation will rise like the sun in the East.

“That’s true. If it wasn’t for the king, we wouldn’t be living such good lives today. Three years ago, weren’t we still living in a cave, accompanied by fierce beasts and monsters every day? But now, we have the royal city, the town, and a peaceful land. Even children can run wild in the city.”

“Yes, compared to two or three years ago, we are living like gods. We can eat and drink every day, and didn’t have to risk their lives to hunt like before. This was all the king’s credit.”

“Although I also believe in the king’s power, I can’t help but doubt this time. I heard that they took a boat and crossed the sea to come here. Not to mention other things, just their ability to cross the sea is not something our nation can compare with.”

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Even if they can cross the ocean, there should be restrictions. It’s not the first time that we’ve gone to the west sea. It’s been one or two years, and this isn’t the first time that we’ve seen people from other tribes.”

“I hope so. I hope everything goes well for the king.”

“Stop talking, the king is here.”

When the people heard this, they all looked up at the town.

They saw Yang Xu, who was wearing armor, walking over slowly with steady steps.

His long black hair was tied into a bun on the top of his head, fixed with a silver hair band, like a taoist’s hair bun. He was wearing a white cotton shirt inside and a black metal armor with red flame patterns on the outside. He held a three-meter-long bone spear in his hand and his shoes were mainly made of cloth with vines as support. When he stepped on the ground, there would be a sound.

Bang Bang Bang.

It was like a steady and powerful heartbeat.

As he walked, Yang Xu exuded a terrifying aura, like a terrifying and fierce beast.

It was the mental pressure that Yang Xu felt after his strength and spirit had been greatly improved after walking on the edge of life and death for many years.

It was a tangible sense of oppression!

Seeing Yang Xu’s arrival and feeling the immense pressure, all the subjects were excited.

This was their king, their faith.

There was a short silence. Before Yang Xu arrived at the town, the people all held their right arms in front of their chests and shouted in an impassioned voice.

“King!”

Their voices was like thunder, reverberating in the mountains for a long time!

It was filled with vitality.

It was filled with passion.

It caused the ferocious beasts in the forest to roar and flee in panic.

Yang Xu’s lips curled up slightly as his eyes gently swept across the subjects. He was very pleased.

This was the reason he continued everytime something difficult came along!

He nodded slightly to the subjects and raised the long spear with his right arm. The long spear, which weighed one or 100 hundred kilograms, was as light as a feather in his hand.

Only the terrifying whistling sound of the spear cutting through the air showed how powerful this weapon was.

Yang Xu said with a firm voice, “We will definitely win!”

The soldiers and subjects all cheered loudly.

The soldiers raised their weapons high, and the subjects waved their fists. Everyone seemed to have ignited explosives, and they shouted with the most sincere emotions.

“Win!”

“Win!”

For a moment, it seemed that the clouds in the sky had been infected and quietly dispersed. They didn’t dare look directly at the burning passion of the subjects. The golden morning sun fell on the palace and shined on Yang Xu.

The armor reflected the orange sunlight, as if it had covered him with a layer of holy light.

Holy!

Dignity!

Overbearing!

In this atmosphere, Yang Xu led the army and set off.

Before he left, he met eyes with Qing Qiu Zi Yu, who was sending him off.

They had been together for more than four years, they could communicate without words now.

Qing Qiu Zi Yu’s beautiful eyes were like limpid autumn waters, filled with a gentleness. Her peerless face was even more devastatingly beautiful with a little makeup.

The scenery in front of them suddenly changed after they left the royal city.It was no longer an orderly town, exquisite fertile land, or a calm lake.

In front of them were countless ancient trees that reached the sky.

Giant trees that would take three or four people to wrap their arms around could be seen everywhere.

The tall and dense treetops were layered on top of each other, like layers of thick and heavy sunshade net, locking the sunlight in the air, preventing it from falling into the dense forest.

In the forest, a cold wind blew, carrying a rancid smell.

The vines coiled around the ancient trees, like giant pythons that were about to devour people, adding a bit of mystery and danger to this gloomy and cold wild jungle.

However, there was a clear path in the forest outside the valley. It was about two meters wide. The winding path led deep into the forest.

This was the pathway that the people of Great Xu nation had trampled and used all year round, and it had been carefully maintained. It was also the only road that could be used normally.

It wasn’t that Yang Xu didn’t want to open up a wider path in the forest, but the life force of the wild forest was too strong. It would only take one night to cover the clearly visible pathway with weeds and vines, making it almost notvisible.

If no one cleaned and maintained it for three days, the pathway that the people had worked so hard to open up would disappear.

This road led in three directions, to the three cities and towns of the Great Xu nation.

When they arrived at the pathway, Yang Xu didn’t hesitate and walked in with the army.

However, even though they were on the relatively safe pathway, they didn’t let down their guard.

20 azure bird tribe were flying in the sky above the forest, observing the surrounding environment. They were on guard for the army against the wild ferocious beasts that could appear at any time, and also gave directions.

The Qing Qiu fox clan was split into two groups, with the merfolks in the middle.

They were not good at land battles, and their combat effectiveness on land was greatly reduced, so they became the key targets of protection in the army.

But this did not mean that the merfolk’s existence was meaningless.

They had a keen observation of water that far exceeded that of other races. They could even detect water currents from ten miles away in the wild jungle and analyze the direction of the water flow, speed, volume, and other key information.

As long as they brought the merfolks, the troops could always find a suitable water source easily.

Apart from that, the merfolk race had another ability that made people extremely envious.

They had incredible perception of the weather and could sense the arrival of storms and rain in advance. This ability was very important in the dense wild jungle, because storms and rain would not only seriously affect the speed of the army, but also bring danger to the team. If they could make arrangements in advance, they could greatly reduce losses.

The most important problem was that if they were to encounter a rapid river or a dangerous swamp, the soldiers of the merfolk race could always play the most important role.

In the wilderness, swamps were one of nature’s most terrifying traps.

The ability to make use of the talents of different races was the most important factor for Yang Xu to survive in this terrifying wilderness.

When Yang Xu led the army to the west sea outpost, the tourists from the cruise could finally begin to feel the unique charm of the wilderness!

The charm of death and threat.

It was filled with the charm of the unknown and terror.

It was filled with an unknown evil charm!
