The leaders of the three mountain bandit groups all calmed down at once.
Previously, they were truly bloodthirsty and reckless, especially the forces from Seven Dragons Stronghold and Snow Wolf Valley, who wished they could devour each other alive.
Black Tiger Mountain also felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that they had to make a great contribution and eliminate the other two sides.
They never considered that if only Black Tiger Mountain remained, they would be the first to face the Qinglong City army.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Damn it, you really are an undercover agent."
"You've fooled us all."
"If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you with one blow back then."
The people of Seven Dragons Village were especially angry. They had once regarded Lu Chen as a treasure, but they never expected that because of Lu Chen, Seven Dragons Village would probably disappear from the world forever.
The people from Snow Wolf Valley looked at Lu Chen with complicated expressions. Their biggest goal for this trip was actually to capture Lu Chen, but that was no longer possible now.
The people of Black Tiger Mountain were even more frustrated. They thought they were the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, but they never expected that they would become the mantis themselves.
"Why waste words with them? Kill them."
The little princess had no patience for that. She had no connection with these bandits and felt no pity for them whatsoever.
These bandits slaughtered countless cultivators, and even robbed residents of Qinglong City, which led to a situation where few dared to venture outside the city.
The city lord of Qinglong City sent troops to besiege the princess multiple times, but in the end, none of them succeeded and many people were killed, including many of the princess's elders who had watched her grow up.
At this point, it was no longer Lu Chen and the little princess's turn to take action.
The main force leading the attack on the mountain bandits was commanded by General Shi Hu.
"My children! Follow me and kill!"
General Shi Hu roared, and the tens of thousands of Qinglong City soldiers behind him roared in unison, their divine might overwhelming, and the killing intent they unleashed practically dyed the entire sky red.
Lu Chen was shocked by what he saw, and his scalp tingled.
This is the strength of a regular army. These Qinglong City troops are all at least Star-level Rank 6, and are equipped with complete weapons and armor. Their coordinated combat power is incomparable to that of these rabble.
Moreover, the army is certainly not lacking in experts, such as the leader, General Shi Hu, who is at the ninth level of the star system realm.
Some of his generals were of similar strength.
The three bandit groups from Black Tiger Mountain, Seven Dragon Village, and Snow Wolf Valley were terrified when they saw this scene. They finally realized how terrifying a regular army could be.
Previously, the Qinglong City army had been unable to wipe out these mountain bandits, and one of the more important reasons was that they would flee if they couldn't win a fight.
The bandits didn't care about territory at all. If the Qinglong City army came in small numbers, they would fight them; if they came in large numbers, they would just pack up and leave.
This is the first time, and possibly the last, that tens of thousands of Qinglong City lords have surrounded them.
The three major bandit gangs now have less than three thousand men combined, all of them wounded, and they are in despair.
General Shi Hu personally led the troops, and wherever they went, they were as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. The army surrounded them all and swept them away with overwhelming strength.
This battle was a one-sided massacre.
Even the leaders of the Black Tiger Mountain forces were no match for the powerful General Shi Hu. They tried to escape, but were caught up and killed.
The battle ended in just one hour.
This was the first time Lu Chen had ever witnessed such a large-scale battle; it was truly incredibly fierce.
"Let's go back."
The little princess, however, was not interested in the battle situation here. On the contrary, she was very happy because Lu Chen had returned to her side.
"Let's go."
Lu Chen swaggered over and took the little princess's hand. Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the two left the battlefield and returned to Qinglong City.
This attempt to shift the blame eastward was extremely successful.
The three bandit groups were the ones who suffered.
After clearing the battlefield, General Shi Hu continued his advance, sweeping through the area outside Qinglong City. The smaller bandit gangs were completely wiped out without any resistance.
From then on, there were no more bandits outside Qinglong City.
This is a great joy for Qinglong City.
This battle made Lu Chen famous.
The city lord of Qinglong City deliberately revealed the "truth" behind the scenes: the so-called kill order was nothing more than a performance to cooperate with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was being hunted down and had no choice but to hide in a bandit's den, which triggered a fierce battle between two major bandit forces. In the end, he contacted the Qinglong City army and wiped out all three forces in one fell swoop.
Lu Chen has made a great contribution.
Even though Lu Chen won the martial arts contest and passed the marriage selection, many people thought it was just luck, that he got lucky.
But now, Lu Chen has become a true genius, both brave and resourceful.
Princess Nie Qing also deserves credit for leading the army this time. Although she herself did not do anything, everyone knows that this time, Princess Nie Qing has found a satisfactory husband.
That night, the Lord of Qinglong City held a grand banquet for his guests.
Lu Chen became the focus of the entire event.
However, behind the glamour, no one knew that Lu Chen was almost tortured by the little princess Nie Qing.
"Tell me honestly, who was that woman that day?"
