Chapter 109: Showing Weakness to the Enemy?
"Poison Master, are you interested in going out to play with Heavenly Gift? Afterwards, I'll give you some Life Essence for your experiments?" Yang Chen tempted.
"Alright, let you use me this once!" Poison Master replied.
"Is this really using me? It's just a transaction," Yang Chen said playfully, ensuring that Poison Master couldn't escape his grasp.
"Members of Shadow Kill Camp, follow me," Yang Chen commanded as he stepped forward on his wolf mount, shouting loudly before charging ahead, with the remaining five thousand four hundred people closely following. During the charge, Yang Chen roared, "All troops, fire!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." Over five thousand Zhu Ri Jian arrows whistled through the air, shooting straight at the enemy. Instantly, thousands of enemies were thrown into chaos.
"Fire again!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." On Galaxy City, the allied forces of the Empire shouted angrily, "Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here!"
"Galactic Guard, shoot!"
"Damn it, how could reinforcements arrive at such a critical moment? Divide three thousand men to block them!" A command from Zhang Gao's Army was issued.
"Fifth round, fire!" With Yang Chen's order, another five thousand Zhu Ri Jian arrows were shot out. The three thousand charging enemies were thrown into disarray.
"Sixth round, fire!"
"Brave Earl, Aoying Bo, you two immediately go and entangle the enemy commanders; fight if you can kill them," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Young Master." After speaking, the two leaped off their Unicorns and flew towards the enemy. The three thousand enemy troops pressed forward with the risk of death, struggling to reach within fifty meters of Yang Chen and his group.
"All troops, put away your bows and draw your swords, and prepare to engage the enemy!" Yang Chen shouted.
"Yes, Leader."
"Kill!" Yang Chen unsheathed the Yan Huang Blood Sword and charged into the enemy ranks. Following his lead, the others also spurred their horses forward. Li Qi thrust the Military Flag fiercely into the ground and shouted, "Three hundred men, hold this position! If the flag falls, you will die!"
"Yes, General," the three hundred men responded.
"Taiji Two Instruments Formation!" Li Qi roared to the heavens.
"Yes, General." The more than five thousand troops outside immediately split into two groups and began to encircle the enemy. "You three hundred men, use the Heavenly Bow to shoot! Anyone who breaks out of the encirclement will be killed!" Li Qi instructed the three hundred men beside him.
"Yes, General." Yang Chen saw Li Qi organizing the troops to surround the enemy and realized that staying there would only hinder him. He rode out on his wolf mount and said, "Li Qi, this area is up to you; go all out! Remember, capture them alive, do not kill!"
"Yes, Leader," Li Qi replied respectfully. After leaving Li Qi's forces, Yang Chen rode towards Galaxy City and called out, "Jiashe Empire Shadow Kill Camp Camp Leader, bring your entire camp of five thousand four hundred soldiers to reinforce us!"
"The Shadow Kill Camp? Is that the one that recaptured Lake City?" The Lord of Galaxy City murmured as he watched Yang Chen charging towards them at the city gate.
"My lord, this person must not be underestimated," said a White-Clad Man beside the Lord of Galaxy City.
"Indeed, my lord. This person has ambitions of kingship; be wary of him taking our city," another person added.
"Tianya, Tianguang, I will be cautious. But they are here to help us now; it would be unethical not to open the gates. Heralds, sound the horn and welcome our allies!" commanded the Lord of Galaxy City.
"Woo woo woo woo!" The gates of Galaxy City swung wide open as thousands of riders on Unicorns surged out.
"Kill!" "Kill!!" Seeing this scene, Yang Chen nodded slightly and rode his wolf towards where the Lord of Galaxy City was located.
“Shadow Kill Camp Shadow Long, Yang Chen has met Galaxy City Lord.” Yang Chen dismounted from the wolf and slightly bowed.
“Camp Leader Yang is too polite. I must thank you for coming to reinforce Galaxy City from tens of thousands of meters away.” Galaxy City Lord said with a smile.
“We are all one family, so there’s no need for excessive thanks. This is a special time; let’s talk after the battle.” Yang Chen replied.
“Alright, then after the battle, I will host a Welcoming Ceremony for you, Brother Yang.” Galaxy City Lord said.
Yang Chen nodded and rode out on his wolf, but doubts began to arise in his mind: “This Galaxy City Lord only possesses the strength of a Three-Star Dou Jun, and the two others beside him are merely at the Peak of Three-Star Dou Emperor. Why is there not a single Demon Lord stationed here? Similarly, neither Loulan City nor Silvermoon City has a Demon Lord. Typically, city lords are Demon Emperors, while only those in relatively prosperous central towns have Demon Lords as their leaders.
However, it makes sense; Demon Lords are generally lazy and dislike being constrained. How could they casually serve under someone else?
With this thought, Yang Chen understood and charged into battle, wielding the Yan Huang Blood Sword, sweeping through enemies, harvesting lives, and drinking blood.
“It’s going too smoothly, really too smoothly.” Yang Chen stopped using the Blood Sword, sensing something was off.
“There are two enemy Demon Lords, one of which is a Demon Lord. Under normal circumstances, this lineup should be sufficient. However, this is an all-out attack from the enemy; it shouldn’t be so easy for me to push them back. Moreover, the enemy might know that we have reinforcements coming. With only three cities left for Zhang Gao's Army, there should be at least ten or so Demon Lords. Zhang Gao is still a Fighting Saint Expert, so he wouldn’t act so recklessly!”
“Feigning weakness?” Suddenly, four words flashed through Yang Chen’s mind. On the battlefield, the enemy was in disarray, retreating southward.
“Why south? Isn’t Zhang Gao’s stronghold to the north?!” Yang Chen exclaimed.
“All troops assemble, mount your horses and ready your bows!” Yang Chen shouted angrily.
“Yes, Leader.” The five thousand men mounted their horses and drew their bows.
“Fire! Target the front of the enemy’s retreat!” Yang Chen commanded.
"Swish, swish, swish." Five thousand arrows shot into the front of the retreating army, sealing off their escape route.
"Camp Leader, the road ahead is blocked. Should we still retreat south?" a member of the retreating military asked softly.
"Retreat! The higher-ups have issued a strict order to lure the enemy's elite troops into the Gourd Gorge! The entire army must clear a path. All shield bearers, hold your shields to guard the rear, and the remaining shield bearers protect the wounded from enemy archers! Damn it, this Shadow Kill Camp is really wealthy; Zhu Ri Jian shoots without concern for costs."
"Sure enough, there must be traps on the southern road. How about we have some fun?" Yang Chen said with a sly smile. "The entire army, switch to Armor-Piercing Arrows and fire! Target the area in front of the enemy's retreat!"
"Swish, swish, swish." Another five thousand arrows were shot out. "Members of Shadow Kill Camp, keep firing. Block the enemy's retreat! If one gets away, you will pay with your life," Yang Chen commanded.
"Yes, Leader!" "Li Qi, this is up to you," Yang Chen said.
Li Qi stood next to the Shadow Kill Imperial Flag and respectfully replied, "Yes, Leader." Yang Chen rode his wolf into the city and found Galaxy City Lord, saying, "There are traps. The enemy is feigning weakness to lure us in."
"Oh? How does Camp Leader Yang know this?" Tianya asked.
"I didn't inquire," Yang Chen replied.
"I am Tianya; this is my younger brother, Tianguang," Tianya introduced himself.
"Not bad; both brothers are impressive. Are you interested in joining my Shadow Kill Camp?" Yang Chen suggested.
*Cough cough,* "Yang Chen, aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself?" Galaxy City Lord said awkwardly.
