In the dark of the night, in the middle of a chaotic battle, everything was thrown into disorder.

When the first prince's men heard the news of their master being assassinated, and were also ambushed by the Rising Sun Empire, they were shocked, angry, and even more so, terrified. How could they resist the attack of the Rising Sun Empire without a general?

"Revenge for the first prince, come with this general!"

In the midst of the chaos, someone shouted loudly. A general stood out to preside over the mess. He ordered the men around him to shout in unison, to gather up the surrounding troops, and to send men to press everywhere, to gather his men. It was at this time that someone took the lead and the people from the northern region, who were looking around blankly, finally found their pillar of support. They all gathered in the general's direction.

As soon as Bartle appeared, he was immediately surrounded and attacked by the people of the northern region. He shouted and cursed at him, calling him a bastard, a traitor, and accused him of assassinating the first prince.

The reason why he had done so was to vent the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many days. He went to the barracks in the northern region and vented out all of his displeasure and depression. When the War God King personally went to see him, he suggested allying with him and the ninth prince, Bartle, to completely take down the first prince. This way, the internal strife between the princes of the northern region could be used to preserve the strength of the Ascension Empire.

At the same time that he thought deeply about this suggestion, he was also guessing how much this War God King knew about the matter between him and Bartle.

When he saw the envoy of the Duke of Batian, the Rising Sun Empire had already begun their assault on the prince's military camp. He understood that Duke Ba Tian didn't trust him, and was worried that the news would leak out if he told Qin Wentian beforehand. Regardless of whether it was following the Sun Ascension Empire's suggestion to join forces and attack the eldest prince, or as the prince of the northern region, when the Sun Ascension Empire ambushed them, he could not do anything.

"What?" Had the first prince been assassinated? I killed him? "

The ninth prince's eyes were bloodshot as he watched from the sidelines, desperately attacking him, a subordinate of the first prince.

He had just led his men out of the military camp!

Could this be Duke Ba Tian's doing?

However, at this very moment, Bartle didn't have the time to think or explain. The first prince's subordinate always looked down on the ninth prince and thought that he was a lowly bastard, the child of a slave. Especially this bastard, who was the son of the lowliest slave girl in the entire Tianyuan Kingdom. She could only kneel at their feet and lick their boots!

There was a very sensible man in this tumultuous battle, Jeddah, the prince's favourite subordinate.

He withdrew the First Prince's corpse, took his letters and other keepsakes, and used his official position to gather up many soldiers and horses. He publicly vowed to avenge the First Prince. More and more soldiers gathered around Jeddah, demanding with hatred that they attack the ninth prince, Battle, immediately to avenge the first prince.

"No, we cannot do that now. That bastard Battle had joined forces with the great army of the barbarians to attack us together. The First Prince has also just been assassinated by Battle, so we are not his match. Retreat, retreat to the distance, only by preserving more strength can we avenge the First Prince. We must report this to the Barbarian King and ask him to send reinforcements. "

All of the First Prince's subordinates also believed that Battle and the other barbarians were united.

Everything was not a coincidence. With an ingenious plan, coupled with time and a series of incidents, he decided to take advantage of the fact that Bartle was secretly colluding with the Sun Ascension Empire to assassinate the first prince and take the opportunity to eliminate the first prince's underlings.

The fighting among the barbarian princes of the northern region had never stopped since the start of the fight for the throne. This war only intensified this trend. Moreover, the First Prince had been suppressing Bartle very heavily recently. He even wanted to kill him several times. Everyone had no doubt that Bartle had killed the First Prince.

The Rising Sun Empire had launched a sneak attack on the First Prince right after he had killed him. This made the subordinates of the First Prince deeply hate this bastard who had betrayed the barbarians of the northern region!

Jeddah took the opportunity to ascend the throne and become the general of the army, leading the remnants to repel the enemy.

Duke Ba Tian also received the news that the first prince had been killed, but he was a little doubtful. Battle was too fast, he actually made a move earlier than the first prince.

Duke Ba Tian didn't know the truth of the matter, but as a high-ranking officer, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

The first prince's men were in complete disorder. This was a good opportunity for him to kill the people of the northern region and seize their supplies. Thus, Duke Ba Tian gave the order to send out an urgent order to the army behind him to immediately gather and surround the men who were chasing down the first prince. In the Grand Duke's heart, he still had many plans. If possible, he didn't mind taking down the ninth prince of Bartle.

It was a good thing to obtain the ninth prince's war horses and weapons, and also to seize this ninth prince and exchange him for more benefits with the Barbarian King of the Northern Regions. Of course, even if the Barbarian King refused to pay any price for this bastard's unfilial son, the first duke believed that the ninth prince would also receive many benefits from the War God.

"What happened!"

After the First Prince's men attacked him, they gradually lost the support for both him and the Rising Sun Empire, and gradually retreated.

"Damn it!" It must be the doing of Feng Qingxiao and Yun Zihuang! "

The ninth prince's angry guess was infinitely close to the truth, but at this time, it was impossible for him to clearly investigate what had happened. The Rising Sun Empire's attack was not only targeting the First Prince's men, but it also seemed unwilling to let him go.

"Archers, press the formation. Retreat."

He was worthy of being called the domain general of the North. Even in this chaotic battle, he was scolded and insulted by his people from the North, saying that he had assassinated the first prince. He could still maintain his calm and lead his men to retreat in an orderly manner, not giving the Sun Ascension Empire any chances to escape.

"Bartle, this bastard, assassinated the first prince, which is a heinous crime. Follow him and you will be punished severely by the Barbarian King. All northern soldiers, quickly take down this traitor. The Barbarian King will receive a generous reward! "

Jeddah ordered countless men to shout at the same time, their voices spreading through the night sky.

"Idiot, damn idiot!"

Battle's face was gloomy and green. Being called out by the first prince's subordinate, the northern soldiers had a strange expression on their faces. They were looking at him with unfriendly gazes. Some of the soldiers held onto their weapons and wanted to step forward to take him down. Fortunately, he was surrounded by his most trusted personal guards who only obeyed his orders.

"This is a scheme by the barbarians and the War God. Don't listen to their nonsense. Follow me!"

He knew that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't even be able to keep his own life. Normally, his subordinates would all follow his orders. Even if they were to go against the first prince, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, he was the traitor who had assassinated the Lord of the Northern Region. These people were afraid of the heavy punishment from the Barbarian King, so even if they didn't attack him, they would never follow him again.

In the darkness of the night, Battle led his few personal guards and gradually disappeared into the distance like a wounded lone wolf.
