After seeing three orange colored lanterns light up at the city's gate, the young new Tenth Tiger King sprung up from the ground and dashed toward the Moqiu City in the distance. Wealth, status, glory, everything was in front of him!
Behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers followed. The soldiers bit on the cloth strips in their mouths, their eyes staring straight at the Moqiu City s which could only be seen from the dark night. Their gods were there, their Messenger of God s were there, and their gods and Messenger of God s were being tormented by the rebel army. They were going to save their gods and their Messenger of God s, there was nothing more important than this in the world!
For this matter, they could hide quietly from more than five kilometers away, almost sneaking under the Mo Qiu without making any sound. Then, with the order from their superior, they started running at full speed. Even so, everyone was still tightly biting the piece of cloth. No one made a sound. Even if he fell down, he would roll to the side of the road at the first moment and only after confirming that he wouldn't affect the progress of the following brothers would he silently stand up and join the queue.
However, the soldiers suddenly realized that the troop had stopped. Some of them even bumped into the backs of their comrades in front of them before stopping in their tracks. However, the order was unmistakable. It was to stop the march and remain on standby.
The thousand steps from Black Qiu to Moqiu City were filled with the soldiers under the command of the Ninth Tiger King. At the very front of the group, the young Tenth Tiger King was in a daze, because in front of him, other than the opened city gate, there was also an old man.
Chen Tianming was actually not that old. He looked like he was around fifty or sixty years old, but his skinny body made him look extremely weak. But in the entire Moqiu State, no one had ever dared to go against his intentions, because he was the envoy of the Messenger of God. Especially at this moment, when he was holding a bloody head in his hand, no one dared to look him in the eye.
Chen Tianming looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him. He secretly channeled the Beast God's power within his body, causing the light that was originally tightly attached to his body to become even brighter. It made him look like a sun. Only then did he ask indifferently, "Soldiers, tell me, do you still know me?" His voice wasn't very loud, just like an old man talking to himself, but everyone could clearly hear it.
Numerous people from the Moqiu Army knelt down as if they had been pushed by a mountain of gold, and lowered their heads. Only then did they dare to shout the long famous "Greetings, Lord Messenger of God!"
Chen Tianming's face revealed a smile, and nodded his head: Soldiers, let me ask you again: Are you guys still loyal to Beast God?!
The soldiers' replies were like rolling heavenly thunder, crashing down towards them. "Swear your allegiance to them, no one dares to disobey!"
Chen Tianming raised his voice again: "Then, are you willing to kill traitors for the Beast God?!"
"Yes!" This time, almost all of the soldiers raised their heads and roared towards Chen Tianming.
"Alright!" Calm disappeared from Chen Tianming's face, and anger that could be seen with the naked eye arose. He raised the head in his hands and shouted loudly, "This thief wants to rebel, and is blasphemous! I have already killed him myself! "
Silence. Everyone fell into a deathly silence. That head belonged to none other than the Ninth Tiger King. It was the Ninth Tiger King who had told them that "the Moqiu City has been taken by the traitors, and we are going to rescue the Beast God and the Lord Messenger of God". Right now, Lord Messenger of God was standing right in front of his Moqiu City. His body was emitting a miraculous glow, and the truth was revealed the moment he raised Ninth Tiger King's head.
Some of the soldiers had already begun to cry. What was this? Had he been tricked into quelling the rebellion? And the result? He became a rebel? If not for the timely appearance of the Lord Messenger of God, and the fact that he had charged into the Moqiu City and brandished his scimitar towards the peaceful Moqiu City people, what kind of consequences would have happened? He himself had become a traitor to the Beast God, and would be pinned on the shame of the Moqiu State for generations to come!
Looking at the crying soldiers in front of him, Chen Tianming's tone of voice softened once again. "Soldiers, I know that you were only lured here. Those who do not know will not be blamed, I do not blame you! But I want to ask you two a question, are you willing to fight for the Beast God? Do you still want to believe in Messenger of God? "
"Yes! We are willing! " The soldiers' replies were not as neat, but their roars were not weak.
Chen Tianming glared at him and said, "Then my orders! First, take down Tenth Tiger King! Then, the entire army turned around and attacked the disorderly army! Destroy them all under Mo Qiu! "
"Yes sir!" Tens of thousands of soldiers roared like thunder.
The moment he saw the monk walk in, the old Tiger King basically understood that when he opened the wooden box containing his son and his head, the old Tiger King who had been rampaging through the Mo Qiu area for more than ten years did not shed a single tear. No matter what, there was a price to pay. If one wanted to become a supreme expert, then they had to have the resolve to lose their head! Other businesses could still be discussed, but for this kind of thing, other than success, it was just hope. There was no other option.
He politely invited the monks to take a seat and drink some tea, indicating that he still had some mundane business to attend to. The monks, too, wore smiles on their faces. They were well-mannered and did not utter a single word.
He went to his own small tent, the old Tiger King first asked the guards to burn an incense before inviting the monks, then he went in.
When the monks followed the guards into the small tent, they saw the neatly dressed corpse of the old Tiger King.
The monks were not surprised at all, all of this had been said to be right by the Lord Messenger of God. When the few monks came to deliver the box of heads, Lord Messenger of God had already specially instructed them: "Old Tiger King is already over sixty years old, be courteous and let him have some dignity."
Lord Messenger of God gave the old Tiger King the dignity she deserved, and the old Tiger King gave the answer she deserved.
The rebellion that had affected the two great Tiger King s had been quietly eliminated, but the battle against the chaotic army of fire and phoenix was not over yet.
Lord Messenger of God sent a group of monks to take over Ninth Tiger King and the rest of the Tenth Tiger King. They hurried over together and attacked from three sides, surrounding the expedition army that was being led by the Xiu'er completely.
Xiu'er, Chen Chu, Qu Feizhi and the others were helpless. The three of them had thought about all kinds of situations and deduced all kinds of processes, but they never thought that Ninth Tiger King would lose so quickly. They couldn't even hold on for two hours, much less a day. They were so fast that just as the Xiu'er and the rest left their camp, they were blocked by the's original group who had just turned around. The three armies, with nearly two hundred thousand soldiers, trapped Xiu'er and the rest in the middle like a giant sack.
Strangely, they were just besieged and did not rush up to launch a massacre. Two hundred thousand against two thousand, that was just what you'd call a massacre. A hundred against one, he could spit himself to death. However, even in such a situation, the opponent didn't attack but only encircled him. Moreover, they would be surrounded by a siege, and they would not be allowed to have any thoughts of breaking out. "As long as there was a tiny spark that wanted to break out of the encirclement, the other party would ruthlessly slap it out.
They seemed to want to use their lives to wash away their shame. When the monks who represented the Lord Messenger of God appeared, their bravery seemed to have increased by almost multiple times, and this bravery was most intuitively manifested through the number of casualties in the battalion.
When she was trapped, Fat Cui who was recovering from her injuries volunteered to stand out. He said that the new soldiers of battalion had already made up their minds to follow Xiu'er, they can't be so heartless! In order to show their loyalty, all the members of the new generation of battalion were willing to fight for the life of Xiu'er!
Chen Chu nodded his head in agreement. Qu Feizhi and strong man also nodded their heads in agreement. Just as Fat Cui received his orders and left the room, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi quickly spread the map on the table. They hoped that the new battalion would be able to last a little longer, so that they could escape in different directions.
But before Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi could finish looking at the map, the Fat Cui had already returned with a sad face. He told them that back then, the soldiers under Ninth Tiger King had all gone crazy, they had charged forward without caring about their lives, and there were too many of them. Xiu'er waved her hand helplessly, telling Fat Cui to take his people away, there was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.
The situation now was clear. The enemy troops had surrounded him in one night. There must be a strong leader behind them. It was self-evident who the leader was. As for the other side, they only surrounded him without attacking. They were clearly waiting for the appearance of that great character. The other side would probably personally go up to resolve this issue.
Fortunately, they did not make Xiu'er and the others wait too long. At noon the next day, a group of monks appeared. Without the protection of any troops or soldiers, the monks just walked step by step until they were less than ten meters away from the Fire Phoenix Army soldiers.
The leader, a tall and sturdy monk dressed in extravagant clothing bowed respectfully towards the soldiers. "Please pass along your message, Lord Messenger of God's disciples Yuanhai, Yuanliang, Yuan Zhi, are here to seek an audience with Fire Phoenix Army Commander, Lord Xiu."
Xiu'er, who had already been notified by the soldiers, walked out slowly and bowed towards the monk in return. "Master Yuanhai, you are too polite. Please follow me into the tent and have a taste of our Flaming Phoenix tea?"
Yuan Hai replied with a smile, "This little one doesn't dare, I only received Lord Messenger of God's order to send a message to Lord Xiu, I will leave immediately after the message was sent, I don't dare to delay any longer."
"Oh? Master Yuanhai, please speak. " Xiu'er raised her eyebrows and looked at the distant sea.
Far Sea had a smile on his face the entire time, "Lord Messenger of God would like to invite Lady Xiu’er to stay at Beast God Temple for a few days to show his gratitude as a host."
Before his voice fell, strong man who was beside Xiu'er had already taken a step forward, with her hand holding onto her blade, she shouted angrily. Lord Xiu is the commander of my army! "How can you just leave like that!"
Despite strong man's threat, Yuanhai's face didn't change at all. She still maintained her calm smile. Not only him, not a single one of the group of monks had a change in expression. But Xiu'er could also tell from the footsteps of the monks that none of them had trained in martial arts before. Just this courage and grandeur alone was enough to make people feel that she was not a simple person.
Xiu'er held out her hand to stop strong man, and asked Yuanhai, "Then, may I ask, if I were to go, what should I do? If I do not go, what should I do? "
Yuanhai seemed to have already expected Xiu'er to ask this question, and immediately replied: "Lord Messenger of God has already prepared a banquet, if Lord Xiu is willing to go, please follow us on your journey now. At the same time, the Lord Messenger of God promised that during the period when the Lord Xiu was visiting, we would supply all of your army with food, and that we would not touch any of your troops, nor harm a single one of your soldiers. " Speaking to here, Yuanhai lightly said, "If Lord Xiu is unwilling to go, then this little monk cannot make up my mind. Right now, the one in charge of the battlefield is the Four Your Highness Tiger King s, we can only ask him to make a decision. "
Although Yuanhai's tone was calm, his threat was clear: "Your Lord Xiu goes. Eat and entertain yourself well. Your Lord Xiu doesn't go. Sorry, with just a single order, you've flattened your Fire Phoenix Army!"
Xiu'er stared at Yuanhai for a long time before asking, "May I ask master Yuanhai why did you invite me?"
Yuanhai remained calm and collected, "This humble one does not know."
"Then, if I go with Master Yuanhai, can you really guarantee the safety of my subordinates?" Xiu'er's eyes never left Yuanhai's eyes from start to finish.
Yuanhai calmly looked at her, "There is no need for Lord Messenger of God to deceive you. After all, if both sides were to engage in a chaotic battle, adding a Lord Xiu and losing a Lord Xiu doesn't seem to matter much."
Xiu'er nodded his head, "That's true. "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Lord Xiu!" Hearing Xiu'er's words, Chen Chu, Qu Feizhi, strong man and the Fat Cui all surrounded him, wanting to dissuade him.
The Xiu'er calmly waved her hand, "The Lord Messenger of God represents the will of the Beast God, he would not lie to us common folk. Let's not talk about the good food and drinks while I'm on this trip. Maybe I can save these thousand over brothers, so how can I not be on this trip? "
"Please reconsider!" Chen Chu knelt in front of Xiu'er.
Following his kneeling, Qu Feizhi, strong man, Fat Cui and the soldiers beside him all knelt down.
Chen Chu looked up at Xiu'er, "Lord Xiu, I followed you into the Moqiu, and never thought of returning alive. Right now, if Lord Xiu wants to take the risk alone, I am sorry that this subordinate cannot agree to it! "
Qu Feizhi was even more direct, "Lord Xiu, let me kill these fellows! Let's reorganize our troops and have a good fight with the bastards of Black Cove! Even if I die, I will die happily! "
Yuanhai calmly stood there, quietly watching everyone without saying a word.
Xiu'er looked at the far away sea, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, she waved her hand and said, "I am the commander of the expedition team, this matter is my decision, let's not talk about it!" With that, she straightened her face and spoke with a low voice: "Master Chen Chu, obey!"
Chen Chu's entire body tensed up, his head lowered as he replied, "I'm here!"
"While I am not in the army, you will temporarily replace me as the commander of the expedition team and take charge of the big and small matters of the army." After saying all that, Xiu'er's eyes swept across Qu Feizhi, strong man and Fat Cui. "Three days. If I don't return within three days, you can lead the entire army to assault me! We are soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Empire, it is our honor to die in battle! "
Chen Chu lowered his head deeply, "Please rest assured Lord Xiu!"
Qu Feizhi and the other two all replied at the same time, "Please rest assured Lord Xiu!"
Xiu'er smiled, then nodded at Yuanhai, "Yuanhai Master, please lead the way!"
