Suddenly, the red-robed army dispersed in the center, and a group of soldiers pushed out a carriage, behind which stood a large drum.

Qin Wanru leaped onto the carriage with a light touch of her toes, then raised the drumstick, which was as thick as an arm, and struck the drum heavily.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A series of powerful drumbeats resounded, instantly igniting a surge of excitement within listeners.

Liu Yao and the others watching from the sidelines noticed that visible ripples spread out from around the drum and then spread to the red-robed soldiers around them. The red-robed soldiers roared and their aura suddenly doubled.

Liu Yao clicked his tongue in amazement. Although he was appointed General of the Guard largely because he was the Empress's uncle, he had served for so long that he knew more or less about military affairs.

When the humans fought against the orcs, the orcs' war songs left a deep impression on the humans. So later, the humans developed war drums and military music to boost the morale of their troops and enhance the abilities of their soldiers.

However, these war drums and musical instruments are all meticulously crafted by rune masters, and they can only be activated using special techniques.

Nowadays, only the most elite troops in the entire empire have similar equipment; ordinary families would never have such a thing.

This demonstrates the Chu family's nearly thousand-year-old foundation, no wonder so many forces are vying to win them over.

At this moment, another change occurred in the formation. Chu Zhongtian swept his hands in front of him, and a circle of red triangular command flags appeared around him, floating in mid-air.

Then he pointed with his index finger: "Go!"

One by one, command flags were planted in different locations within the Red Robe Army, causing the Red Robe Army's formation to change accordingly. At the same time, bursts of bright blue light emanated from the places where the flags fell, covering the surrounding soldiers.

The previously dim "turtle shell" in mid-air suddenly brightened, with streaks of blue light constantly moving about in extremely mysterious patterns.

At the same time, several illusory flags suddenly appeared in mid-air. King Liang's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly tried to jump out of the range of the flags. Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, there was always a flag blocking his way.

"This is..." Everyone around was horrified to see King Liang roaring inside, yet still unable to break through the formation formed by the flags.

The Chu family has such a deadly move that they can actually trap a Grandmaster.

At this moment, the various forces in Bright Moon City suddenly remembered some terrifying legends about the Chu family from hundreds of years ago. For so many years, the Chu family had kept a low profile and made money peacefully, making everyone forget how powerful they were in the past.

Liu Yao, standing to the side, gloated, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he had retreated early when he knew the difficulty, otherwise he probably would have been crushed to death by these mysterious flags.

At this moment, a rumbling sound came, and the Red Robe Army slowly split into two parts, revealing an open space in the middle. Dozens of Red Robe Army soldiers slowly pushed out an enormous siege crossbow.

It was called a crossbow, but it was actually more like a cannon. The huge crossbow bolts could shoot out enough to smash the gates of a city.

At this moment, the siege crossbow slowly rose, its arrowheads gleaming with a chilling light, and its entire body was covered with extremely complex runes, clearly the work of a highly skilled rune master.

Seeing the siege crossbow aimed at him, King Liang felt his hair stand on end. An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped him. He knew that if he were hit, he would probably be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

He wanted to break through and leave, but unfortunately, he was blocked by these strange flags, and there was really no way to go to heaven or earth.

Left with no other choice, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming an unprecedentedly huge transparent sphere of light that kept condensing, clearly intending to confront the opponent head-on.

Just then, a voice rang out: "You two, please stop for now!"

A group of people arrived, led by none other than the city lord, Xie Yi.

Beside her was Xie Daoyun, whose usually beautiful and serene face was now filled with tension as she searched for someone's figure. Unfortunately, after scanning the area, she did not see the person she was looking for.

Having just left the Sang family, she hurriedly went to find her father for help, only to run into him on the way.

It turns out that, whether from the perspective of the stability of Mingyue City or from the perspective of the interests of the Qi King's faction, Xie Yi did not want to see anything happen to the Chu family.

Unfortunately, both sides were already on the verge of defeat and had no choice but to act, so they couldn't listen to his words.

Xie Yi hurriedly said to Liu Yao, "General Liu, you should try to persuade them, otherwise something terrible will happen."

Liu Yao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Prince Liang is a grandmaster-level expert. He will definitely be able to handle this situation with ease. Let's not make things worse."

Xie Yi: "..."

I'm worried not only about the King of Liang, but also about the Chu family!

At this moment, Liang Wang, who was in mid-air, heard Liu Yao's words and kept cursing in his mind. "Easy peasy? You try it, you son of a bitch. I guarantee you won't be left with a trace."

At this moment, he secretly regretted that he had been too arrogant. He had been pampered and had no experience dealing with the army except for one time when the overall situation was already decided. He had seriously underestimated the strength of the Chu family.

But you can't blame him for that. If it were any other force of three thousand men, his strength would have been more than enough to suppress them.

He also knew that neither he nor Chu Zhongtian dared to blindly withdraw their attack at this moment, otherwise, if the other side did not withdraw, their side would be doomed.

Just then, another cold voice rang out: "Are you trying to destroy the people of Bright Moon City by fighting like this in the city?"

"Principal Jiang is here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure standing on the top of a large tree. The branches at the top of the tree were so slender, but she stood there with ease and grace, her whole body swaying slightly up and down with the movement of the branches.
