Yin Nanyu observed the army of the Iron Slaughter, which seemed somewhat disheveled. “The oncoming army doesn’t seem to be attacking us; rather, it seems to be... fleeing?” he questioned skeptically.

“No matter what, let’s get into formation for battle first.”This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Hu Yunjiao, the leader of the army, was clearly highly experienced.

Under his command, the Dragon Riders of the Yan began to deploy to their flanks.

They took the form of a knife’s edge, defending the sides of the army, their arrows ready on their crossbows, prepared to fire.

The core of the army was upheld by soldiers holding shields, connected layer by layer.

Through the openings between the shields, spears were in place ready to cut the legs of the enemy’s cavalry.

In front, rows of caltrops were laid.

This was the first time Zhao Huai had been at the scene of a battle. An aura of solemnity hit him instantly.

The Yan army was perfectly disciplined, with no superfluous movements, displaying their training with every action.

Soon, another flag appeared in sight.

The words “Changning” were inscribed on it.

Silver armored soldiers emerged before them.

Horses of fire charged forward, their riders carrying sharp black blades that flickered like obsidian. With smooth swipes, the blades cut through the Iron Slaughter’s black armor, spilling a great deal of hot blood everywhere.

The numbers of silver-armored soldiers were multiplying. They outnumbered the Iron Slaughter by several times.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the sky was filled with the sound of cutting air, as a heavy rain of arrows descended.

Even if the arrows didn’t pierce through the Iron Slaughter’s armor, they slowed them down significantly.

“It’s the divine arm crossbow of the Xia.”

Almost instantly, Hu Yunjiao recognized the material of the arrowheads on the ground in the distance.

With this, Zhao Huai understood that the Xia army was chasing the Northern Wolf, and that’s why the Iron Slaughter were all running away.

“Didn’t the Xia’s New Emperor die? How can they still have the power to chase and attack the Northern Wolf Empire’s army?” Zhao Huai asked, unable to suppress his doubt.

Theoretically, with the new emperor’s death, the Xia should have barely managed to defend their city gates against the overwhelming and unstoppable Northern Wolf Army. How could they manage to chase after the Northern Wolf and attack?

It seemed like they had won the battle, considering their high spirits.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Hu Yunjiao’s eyes flashed with killing intent and he shouted forcefully, “Attack!”

The flag-bearer beside him immediately waved the command flag, issuing orders.

Knowing that the Iron Slaughter were not after the Yan, there was no need for hesitation.

Regardless of whether they were Northern Wolves or the Xia, all were enemies of the Yan.

The Dragon Riders of the Yan on both sides charged at the enemy ahead.

Under the sunlight, the Yan’s Blood-Scale Jade Armor shone brilliantly.

Their spears were capable of directly piercing through humans.

“But, it looks like they want to attack us.” Pei Xiangyun said.

Yu Qinghan said casually: “That was before, now, they wouldn’t dare.”

She took another look at the Yangtze River and seemed quite thoughtful.

“Royal Crown Prince, the situation has changed. Xia’s situation does not seem as harsh as we thought. They have revealed their tracks and it seems difficult for them to fight again.”

Hu Yunjiao reported to Zhao Huai, his expression extremely serious.

This expedition to the north was meant to take advantage of the situation.

We were hoping to recover some lost territories while the Northern Wolf was invading.

If we were to confront Xia’s main army head-on...

That would certainly be unwise.

Zhao Huai understood this too.

Yan had just regained its nation, its army was small in comparison to Xia which had an army of nearly a million men, it was far weaker.

His assets were not plentiful, whatever was spent was gone.

But having set out, we must not return without any gain at all, right?

“General Hu, didn’t you say there were still quite a number of tribes and clans in the Southwest Mountain Ridges that have not yet surrendered? Why not take this opportunity to quell them.”

Hu Yunjiao nodded his head, understanding the intention of the Crown Prince, and gently bowed his hand, saying:

“Yes,indeed.”

He found that the Crown Prince was still observing the other side of the river, and he couldn’t help but to ask curiously: “Your Highness, what are you watching?”

Zhao Huai shook his head, smiling faintly:

“Nothing, it just felt that the woman standing on the other side of the river looked a little familiar, must be my overthinking.”

Yin Nanyu watched, analyzed: “I suspect that someone has steadied the situation, killed the Queen Dowager and the young monarch, and controlled the imperial court situation. Otherwise, Xia could not possibly cope with this overwhelming attack from Northern Wolf.”

“My guess, it is the Xia Princess, who is notoriously murderous and known as the female Demon.”

Zhao Huai’s brows slightly wrinkled, he said: “If it is so, the Princess’s heart is really too ruthless.”

“Human heart is unpredictable, there’s nothing that is impossible.”

At the time when the armies of both Xia and Yan were simultaneously withdrawing...

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Soon, it turned into a heavy snowstorm.

“Your Highness, it’s snowing.”

“Unconsciously a year has passed. It’s almost New Year, time really goes by quickly.”

“Sister, it’s snowing, why are you fantasizing again? Are you thinking about brother-in-law? ”

“I’m just wondering, my husband, he should be able to see this snow too.”

This volume ended here.

There is not much to say about the human world, the new chapter in the Immortal Cultivation World begins.

It’s about time for the recognition too..
