"Boom!"
The sound of the mountains cracking echoed in the Gorge, and the tremendous Thunder and Rain Sound could not drown it out. Under the illumination of lightning, the waters of Heavenly Lake surged forth, resembling an apocalyptic arrival, sweeping over the jungle and clearing everything in its path. The birds in the jungle flew up in panic, creating chaos, while more Low-Level Beasts dashed around in confusion. Some giant bears and hyenas even charged into the camp of the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry.
"What is happening? Stay calm!"
Meng Jun, draped in a Cloak, stepped forward, drew his Sword, and shouted, "No one is to panic. Scouts, go investigate what is happening. What was that sound just now?"
"Report! General, it's bad news..."
A Cavalryman galloped down, dismounted, and said, "The mountains behind us have suddenly collapsed for some unknown reason, and the waters of Heavenly Lake are pouring down. This Gorge will surely be flooded!"
"What?!" Meng Jun's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Azure Cloud Mountain Range is so solid; how could it collapse? What on earth has happened?"
Beside him, a Deputy General said, "Sir, the Flood is approaching rapidly. Right now, we need to retreat quickly, abandon supplies and heavy baggage, and head to higher ground; otherwise, all forty thousand of the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry will be lost!"
Meng Jun gritted his teeth and shouted, "Send word to the Three Armies to set off immediately towards the exit of the Gorge heading for Eastern County. March at once; anyone who delays will be executed!"
...
Accompanied by the neighing of warhorses, a group of Cavalry mounted up, brandishing their swords as they thundered towards the entrance of the Gorge following Meng Jun. The rain poured down heavily; from behind them came the sound of trees being uprooted by the rushing water. A group of Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry looked pale as they exchanged glances and urged their horses on harder.
Meng Jun also saw the Flood rolling in and became even more anxious. He shouted, "Move quickly! If we pass through this forest, we can cross the Gorge and reach higher ground!"
The group of Cavalry nodded in agreement.
The torrential rain drenched everyone as they raced to the entrance of the Gorge. Suddenly, they found a collapsed mountain blocking their way ahead, and at that moment, everyone's hearts sank.
"General, we..." a Deputy General's voice trembled. "We've fallen into the enemy's trap; there’s no way out! What should we do..."
Meng Jun looked around but found sheer cliffs everywhere that were impossible for the Iron Cavalry to scale. Over forty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry were trapped in a section of the Gorge while in the distance, illuminated by flashes of lightning, they could see the rushing waters approaching rapidly!
"Clang!"
Meng Jun suddenly drew his Sword, his eyes blood red, and shouted, "Ye Yang, we are irreconcilable! If I, Meng Jun, survive this calamity, I will surely take your life!"
Unfortunately, his voice echoed in the howling wind but did not reach Ye Yang's ears.
The flood surged rapidly, and cries for help from the Iron Cavalry came from behind. Meng Jun stood there dejectedly, watching the roaring Flood approach, resigned to his fate.
...
"Boom!"
The murky Flood swept in with trees, mud, and stones, crashing heavily into the Iron Cavalry, engulfing both men and horses. In an instant, the ground turned into a lake, with thousands of Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry struggling in the water.
The heavy rain gradually ceased, revealing a white light on the horizon; dawn was approaching.
After the Iron Cavalry had been submerged for two full hours, countless rafts floated onto the lake that had once been a Gorge. Ye Yang had sent people to clean up the battlefield.
Amidst the flood floated the bodies of Iron Cavalry soldiers. However, many still survived, clinging to their horses' necks for dear life. On the hillside by the lake stood numerous drenched Iron Cavalry soldiers, shivering from the cold, including Meng Jun who held a Sword.
"Clap..."
Zhang Tianhe leaped forward, walking on the water's surface. His True Qi was so rough that he mismanaged his control over it, splashing water everywhere; nonetheless, he appeared quite imposing.
Raising his Warhammer, Zhang Tianhe laughed heartily and said, "Meng Jun, is your Iron Cavalry truly invincible? Today I want to see if you can sweep through my Eastern County. Where has your previous arrogance gone?"
Meng Jun stood up and shouted lowly as he charged forward with his Sharp Sword raised. The Blade shimmered with starlight; after freezing all night, he fought back desperately!
"Seeking death!"
Zhang Tianhe shouted loudly as he swung his Warhammer down with tremendous force. It was a simple strike that sent Meng Jun crashing into the water along with his sword. After a while, he struggled back to the surface, blood spilling from his mouth. Although he was a Starry Sky Expert, there was an immense gap in strength compared to Zhang Tianhe!
Struggling to reach the shore, Meng Jun's expression darkened as he shouted angrily, "Great Qin soldiers value death above life; if you wish to kill us, then do so! We have met our defeat here and are willing to offer our remains for the empire!"
"Wang Lie" swept in from behind and said, "Tianhe, wait a moment, let's see how the Lord decides."
"Mm."
"Zhang Tianhe" nodded, looking up to see "Ye Yang" descending from the sky, slowly hovering above the water's surface. Behind him were the "Azure Soul Sword" and the "Haotian Sword," his battle robe billowing, exuding an air of heroism.
"Tianhe, what do you think?" "Ye Yang" asked.
"These people have slaughtered countless innocents for "Tyrant Qin"; they deserve to die!" "Zhang Tianhe's" hatred for the "Qin Soldiers" remained unwavering.
"Ye Yang" asked again, "Wang Lie, what do you think?"
"Wang Lie" took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Although these people deserve to die, they are still living beings. There are still over thirty thousand of them who might not drown in the flood. If we take up the sword against them, how are we any different from 'Tyrant Qin'? However... what troubles me is that these 'Iron Cavalry' possess formidable strength. Once exiled, they could retaliate at any moment. Therefore, whether to kill or not depends entirely on the Lord's decision!"
"Ye Yang" nodded.
At that moment, "Meng Jun," wielding his sword, shouted angrily, "Ye Yang, be decisive! If you want to kill, then kill! We will not accept humiliation. If you do not kill me today, I, Meng Jun, will surely flatten 'Linzi' tomorrow and ensure that not a single member of the 'Fire God Clan' remains!"
