Phew——!

A clear, melodious whistle pierced the sky.

The black horse, as swift as the wind, galloped over, and Xiao Zhan mounted it.

One man and one horse stand atop the shattered northern defenses.

Sensing the dissipation of the aura of the Northern cavalry, Xiao Zhan suddenly raised his spear and let out a long, mournful cry:

"Soldiers—!"

"Follow me...charge!"

Xiao Zhan spurred his horse and galloped away.

He would use the highest ceremony of the North, with this spirit of facing death without fear, the most magnificent charge! To bid farewell to the fallen Northern cavalry. And to offer the highest respect of the North to the soldiers of the Central Plains who came to support the North.

Sensing Xiao Zhan's emotions, the ice spear in his hand trembled violently, and an angry dragon roar resounded from it, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

Under the influence of the dragon's roar, the aura of death on the battlefield gradually condensed, quickly forming a large-scale white fog that silently enveloped the entire battlefield ruins.

Xiao Zhan spurred his horse and charged into the white mist.

The Northern Iron Cavalry, annihilated by the Star Rail Cannon attack... along with their warhorses, condensed once again into transparent phantoms in the white mist!

The obsession remains! The heroic spirit will not perish!

The Northern Iron Cavalry all transformed into ghosts, riding ghost warhorses, just as Xiao Zhan had when he received the Star Lord's inheritance, and charged forward alongside him.

"kill!!"

Countless familiar battle cries echoed in Xiao Zhan's ears as the Northern Iron Cavalry, transformed into ghosts, regrouped and launched a final charge that transcended life and death!

But the thick fog continued to churn, and the sounds of battle rose again from within it!

The figures of a large number of soldiers were frozen in the fog.

"kill--!"

Countless shouts of battle erupted once more, and even more obsessions surged and boiled within the thick fog!

The soldiers of the Third Legion also transformed into immortal ghosts, merging into the torrent of the Northern Iron Cavalry, charging alongside them!

Thousands of ghosts followed Xiao Zhan like a stampede of horses, carrying frost and fury, transforming into a giant white dragon shrouded in thick fog, charging across the destroyed northern defense line.

Jiang Feng, who had already closed his eyes and awaited death, suddenly felt a pause in his fall, followed by a large amount of cold, gloomy energy coming from below him.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw countless ghosts of Third Legion soldiers below, gathering into a cloud. They condensed together and lifted him up, slowly lowering him back to the ground.

Jiang Feng felt a lump in his throat, his eyes suddenly welled up, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"You...aren't you angry with me...?"

He was too careless. From beginning to end, he thought that the annexation of the Japanese tribes would be extremely easy, thus ignoring the internal conflicts in Zhongzhou and being outmaneuvered by the general.

It was his carelessness in letting his guard down when the shells came from the direction of Zhongzhou, and his negligence as the corps commander, that ultimately led to the deaths of the soldiers of the Third Corps.

Although the opponent's methods were impossible to guard against, as the first commander of the legion, he was completely unprepared, which indirectly led to the near annihilation of the entire army and this devastating defeat!

Jiang Feng, his body withered and exhausted, rose to his feet, struggled to kneel on the ground, and, filled with remorse, hoarsely swore an oath to the countless wandering spirits around him:

"Since you will not allow me to die so easily, then I, Jiang Feng, hereby swear that I will personally avenge this blood feud and pay for this debt of blood!"

"revenge?"

A mocking laugh suddenly came from above, and three bodyguards descended gracefully, seemingly wanting to confirm Jiang Feng's fate with their own eyes:

"Hahaha... You won't even survive today, so what revenge are you talking about?"

Before he could finish speaking, the lead guard suddenly shivered, his laughter abruptly ceasing. He felt himself instantly locked onto by countless killing intents.

He looked down in horror and saw countless ghostly, bloodthirsty, and ferocious eyes fixed on him from the thick fog below!

The three guards were simultaneously shocked upon seeing this:

"It's a ghost formed from resentment! How could it be so fast?!"

They had clearly studied ghosts and knew that in the Central Plains, the obsession with the unjustly killed could create ghosts.

But those forms slowly in places where yin energy gathers. How could the soldiers on the battlefield, who have just died, form ghosts so quickly, and in such large numbers?

Following the cold aura emanating from the ghost, Xiao Zhan's figure emerged from the mist, slowly riding out on his warhorse.

"The aura of a Star Lord!" The three guards' eyes narrowed, as if struck by lightning!

The undisguised aura of a star lord confirmed the newcomer's identity as the Star Lord of Zhongzhou.

When they realized it was Xiao Zhan, the three of them were shocked again and even more surprised.

"The Crown Prince of the Northern Frontier! Xiao Zhan is a Star Lord???"

They belonged to the Central Plains Military Command, so they were naturally very clear about the status of a Star Lord in the Central Plains.

The tolerance shown by Zhongzhou towards the Star Lord is unimaginable; in fact, Zhongzhou spares no effort in mobilizing all its resources for the Star Lord's development.

But now they've actually turned against the Star Lord!

The general never revealed this information; otherwise, the three of them might have reconsidered before accepting the mission.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Facing a Central Continent Star Lord, even the head of the secret guards felt a sense of foreboding.

The three guards exchanged a quick glance, already considering retreating.

Now, the three of them had only one thought left: escape!

"Split up!!" the leader suddenly shouted.

Three green rays burst forth instantly, shooting upwards in different directions!

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan made no move to stop them.

Because he could already sense the immense, resentful hostility emanating from the thick fog around him.

That number of ghosts is enough to kill anyone.

"Ah—" Countless shrill screams rang out!

Thick fog billowed and rose into the sky, splitting into three torrents that swallowed the three fleeing people in the blink of an eye!

A large number of ghostly figures surged out of the mist, tearing and pulling at the three guards.
