In the distant city of Liuyun…
Beneath the once quiet and peaceful city walls, an unbelievable and tragic scene is now unfolding!
"Something's wrong! The south gate can't hold out!"
"Report! The enemy's boulders have routed the archers!"
"General! The city gates are about to be breached..."
Heart-wrenching shouts rang out, and on the city wall, a tall man in black cloth armor turned around. His disheveled yet determined face inspired inexplicable trust!
"General Zuo! Prepare poison gas immediately! If the enemy continues to charge forward, kill them on the spot!"
The killing intent erupted at this moment. The man's calm and silent gaze was directed into the distance. His astonishing aura made people feel breathless!
The words had barely left his mouth when the general beside the man tensed up, but he managed to suppress the worry in his heart…
"yes!"
The poison gas was recently extracted from many medicinal herbs. If released, it could attack indiscriminately, friend or foe. If they're not careful, the enemy might not even be dead before they are!
This was also what Zuo Jiang was worried about, but since the general had spoken, they had no choice but to believe him.
Wang Yan frowned, his eyes sharply fixed on the enemy soldiers who were still charging forward wave after wave... and the flag behind them!
Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer! The time isn't up yet...
"General, the poison gas is ready. Shall we release it?"
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the left general holding the poison powder couldn't help but urge him on.
If we don't release the poisonous smoke soon, the enemy troops below the city wall will probably climb up!
Wang Yan stood motionless, his face growing increasingly grim, but he did not issue the final order!
Moments later, just as the first enemy soldier peeked out from the city wall…
A cool breeze suddenly arose, and Wang Yan's eyes lit up! He quickly shouted.
"put!"
Zuo Jiang was already prepared, and immediately tore open the bag of poison powder and threw it into the sky!
The powder quickly began to spread with the wind, and the other soldiers, upon receiving orders, also threw the poison powder into the air! For a moment, the enemy troops were completely bewildered, not realizing what they were doing.
One minute later…
"Ah!! It itches! It hurts!"
With a series of shrill screams, large numbers of enemy soldiers climbing up the city wall fell down one by one, while behind them, a large number of soldiers lay on the ground, rolling around and frantically scratching themselves!
Those who were lucky enough to escape the poison powder were pierced by arrows from the city walls! From a distance, it looked like a swarm of ants collapsing.
This scene was witnessed by a handsome man, who frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the situation, and held an object that resembled a telescope in his hand.
"Ha! They're really tough! It's been over a month... I bet that old emperor knows what it feels like to be humiliated by someone, haha! Men, send word to the vanguard: I, the prince, will enter the city today! Launch a full-scale attack immediately! Whoever enters the city within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn can take whatever they want—beauties, food, gold, and jewels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard at the door showed a look of excitement and regret. Why wasn't he a member of the vanguard? This huge benefit was going to fall into their laps.
At this moment, a large number of enemy soldiers landed, and the other soldiers in the vanguard behind them hesitated, instinctively retreating. The man on the city wall, seeing this, remained serious, seemingly deep in thought...
The other soldiers were overjoyed at the sight and finally retreated... The poison powder wouldn't last long, and if they continued to advance, they might not be able to hold the city today.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the straight figure on the city wall, and gratitude and respect welled up in their hearts. They recalled that a month ago, they had fought desperately to defend the city, but the governor had neglected his duties and even fled with his family and belongings. Liuyun City was almost destroyed!
Fortunately, that person appeared at that time! The legendary mighty general, the war god of their Heavenly Dragon Kingdom!
After that, it felt like several years had passed, and they've actually persevered until now!
Suddenly, Wang Yan's face turned ashen on the city wall, and he turned and walked down the wall...
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard someone shout in shock!
"Oh no! The enemy has attacked again!"
They're here again? What's going on? We just drove them back! If they rush in now...
Thinking about this, everyone panicked!
The next second, Wang Yan rode his horse, his long sword filled with icy killing intent, and coldly shouted.
"Open the city gates!"
The soldiers at the gate were stunned... Had the general gone mad? Going out now would mean being riddled with arrows, or being surrounded by the enemy, each soldier wielding a sword and he would surely die!
Wang Yan stared at everyone with a cold and cruel expression.
"This is a military order! Open the city gates!"
A roar startled everyone, and they quickly snapped back to reality and opened the city gates without a word.
Wang Yan gripped the reins tightly, his eyes gleaming, and coldly shouted.
"drive!"
The man and his horse quickly charged out, and in the blink of an eye, the city gate closed again! The burn marks and impact points on the gate were numerous!
Countless enemy soldiers swarmed forward, their eyes filled with a chilling excitement and madness, but they were facing Wang Yan!
The two sides clashed head-on, and with a whoosh, the horses charged straight into the crowd. The screams of agony were like crashing waves, echoing across the mountains! Blood splattered everywhere, and the soldiers were terrified, frantically trying to retreat. However, the unsuspecting soldiers behind them continued their frantic charge forward…
The scene quickly descended into chaos!
The once-impressive vanguard quickly descended into chaos, their advance slowing down. The man in the middle, whose path was strewn with corpses, was now covered in blood, his horse stained crimson as well!
The unusual behavior of the vanguard was quickly noticed by a beautiful man, who frowned.
"What's happening up ahead? Why haven't we attacked yet?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a soldier rushed in from outside, explaining in a flustered manner.
"Your Highness Prince Chloe, something terrible has happened! A madman from who-knows-where has charged into the vanguard all by himself. He is extremely skilled in martial arts, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, half of the vanguard is already dead!"
Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Prince Chloe couldn't help but stand up in shock. The vanguard had a team of thousands of people! And each of them was in excellent physical condition. How could nearly half of them have died so quickly?
"Guards, investigate for me! I want to see who it is! Besides that madman Wang Yan, is there another one like him in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom?"
An angry command rang out from the camp, startling the soldier so much that he scrambled out of his tent.
"Yes, sir! I'll go right away!"
More than ten minutes later, not a single member of the Ice Mountain Grassland tribe approached the walls of Flowing Cloud City…
Not far from the city walls lay a mountain of corpses! Everyone was terrified by the madman's actions and retreated in fear!
