Chapter 60 Hysteria
Half a year has passed, and it's already the fifth month.
In the coldest winter, the northern army has penetrated deep into the heart of the alien snowfield. The eight cities ahead have now all been flattened!
The foreign tribes were terrified and retreated to their own country. The northern army was so powerful that it frightened the world.
This is simply an unprecedented feat since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty!!!
When the news reached the Great Zhou, the whole country was shocked, and the people were excited.
But on the surface, the biggest credit for this great victory still went to General Yun Fei, because the emperor only gave Zhou Huaiyan a word of approval for this expedition, and he had no real military power, and even no official title. Naturally, this victory had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Ah Fei was still at the front line, and Huo Xiao hurried into the camp to deliver the battle report.
Zhou Huaiyan was sitting at the table drawing a map, next to him——
"roar!!!"
The terrifying white beast made his pupils dilate instantly, and he subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist.
"ice cream."
Zhou Huaiyan frowned and his voice became slightly cold.
"No shouting."
Since the war broke out, Ah Fei sent this tiger cub here, and he has been with Zhou Huaiyan for the past five months.
"Woo woo~~~~"
The big white tiger groaned and immediately folded its ears. It ran over and buried its huge head in Zhou Huaiyan's arms. Its pair of dark green eyes were watery, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
Zhou Huaiyan looked down at the crying cat's head in his arms, touched it perfunctorily a few times, and pushed the overly large head away.
——Because it’s too heavy.
Zhou Huaiyan poked its head and kept poking the cub to the ground.
"Don't you know how heavy you are? Stop trying to get into my arms."
Daddy pushed Ice Cream away with great disgust, and he immediately lay on the ground pitifully, whining and sobbing in his throat, as if he had suffered some great injustice.
Zhou Huaiyan: “….”
This kid is simply a spirit.
It really is a cat raised by Ah Fei. It looks exactly like him.
After not seeing each other for three years, Zhou Huaiyan did not expect Ah Fei to suddenly become so big. Even the white tiger cub, which was only the size of a dog back then, is now more than three meters tall when standing up, and weighs three or four hundred kilograms.
The handsome prince didn't understand. He didn't understand why, no matter what he raised, it would eventually become too huge.
For example, the long-haired cat he raised eventually grew to ten kilograms and was impossible to hold.
For example, Ah Fei, who went from being a poor little kid of 1.6 meters tall to a mighty strong man of 1.88 meters tall.
For example, this tiger cub, a good guy, has grown from 20 to 30 kilograms to more than 300 kilograms.
Huo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was indeed worthy of being the Ninth Prince, as he could tame even such a ferocious beast.
"Your Highness, everything is going smoothly at the front line according to your plan. This is the news from the capital, along with His Majesty's imperial decree of honor."
"Um."
Zhou Huaiyan took it and looked at the message on it first, then turned his gaze back to the map. This was a complete map of the snowfield with details down to every village in the valley.
He started doing this when he was fourteen years old and confirmed that there would be another big war between the Great Zhou and the foreign races.
The Great Zhou had been fighting with foreign races for decades, and there were tens of thousands of foreign slaves left in the Great Zhou. Zhou Huaiyan only needed to find a group of people to describe the terrain of the snowfield separately, then eliminate the suspicious places, send them to the northern border, and send people to sneak into the snowfield for complicated confirmation.
Finally, all the terrain deployment was depicted on paper.
Today’s unprecedented victory seems to have taken only five months, but in fact it is the result of more than a decade of accumulation.
Zhou Huaiyan thought for a moment before opening the scroll of imperial edicts of reward. The imperial edicts of reward from the capital had been delivered one after another this month, and there had been two or three of them already. The emperor even specially dispatched 200,000 troops to the north, saying that they were reinforcements.
"I'm panicking indeed."
The beautiful prince sneered,
"These 200,000 soldiers are probably not reinforcements, but are here to suppress the situation."
Huo Xiao frowned.
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
Zhou Huaiyan looked at the handwriting on the intelligence and spoke slowly.
"The old emperor is afraid that if they really wait until all the foreign races are wiped out, they will attack the capital just like the Duke of Wei led his troops to the south of the Yangtze River."
"But he has mobilized 200,000 troops, which is exactly what I want."
Huo Xiao didn't quite understand, but he was used to it, because no matter who it was, when they stood in front of the Ninth Prince, they would look like a fool.
"He is rushing to send troops here because he is afraid that I will rebel."
The beautiful prince sneered.
But once this happens, if Zhou Huaiyan really wants to abdicate, he will not only need 3,000 men like the third prince, but 300,000.
Yes, three hundred thousand.
The Zhou Emperor was too impatient and had never led troops to fight a war before. The 200,000 soldiers he mobilized were not a sword without a brain, but 200,000 living people.
"The one leading the troops must be King Jianning, right?"
Prince Jianning, the younger brother of Emperor Zhou, was the only one who survived the previous generation of princes who had competed for the throne. His military ability was average, but the emperor probably chose him out of trust in him because of his blood relationship.
But Zhou Huaiyan knew that although Prince Jianning was leading the troops on the surface, the actual commanders would be the Emperor Zhou's think tank.
"yes."
Huo Xiao widened his eyes slightly, because the intelligence in Zhou Huaiyan's hand did not mention who was leading the troops. He had just wanted to report it, but the young man guessed it right away.
"As expected of you, Your Highness."
Huo Xiao is a rough man, and even his words of praise are limited to just a few.
"They should arrive in Jingzhou tomorrow. What should we do?"
Zhou Huaiyan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Pretend to lose a battle tonight, have Ah Fei lead his troops to retreat fifty miles, and send an urgent order to ask them for help."
Huo Xiao was still suspicious.
"But don't they just want to weaken our strength? What if they refuse to rescue us?"
Zhou Huaiyan smiled.
“They won’t save me.”
"That......?"
"Let them occupy Liangzhou and Jingzhou, order Yanzhou to defend, and then let our people spread the news throughout the Great Zhou that the emperor is suspicious of General Yun Fei and wants to kill his meritorious officials."
By then, the foreign kings would think that the northern army was attacked from all sides and would take the opportunity to counterattack. Zhou Huaiyan would have lured the snake out of its hole.
"yes!"
After Huo Xiao left, Zhou Huaiyan called Hongdou in.
"Your Highness?"
The eldest palace maid lowered her eyes.
“Here’s the list.”
Zhou Huaiyan took out an envelope from the box and gave it to her. Inside was all the chess pieces that the emperor had planted in Prince Jianning's army.
Hongdou was a death warrior, so he had learned the art of assassination. But Jiang Min had left more than just Hongdou as a death warrior. Now with the addition of guns and Ah Fei's poison, the efficiency of assassination had almost increased exponentially.
When Zhou Huaiyan raised his eyes again, there was still a layer of cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"After ten days, I will make sure these people will never be able to open their eyes again."
"yes!"
Hongdou's face turned cold, she took it with both hands, turned around and strode away.
Zhou Huaiyan sat for a while before he stood up and walked out. Now his 50,000-man army was stationed above the cave where the Duke of Wei was.
The entrance was heavily guarded, and inside, it was no longer pitch black, but torches were lit on the walls.
"Uncle, the emperor has sent in 200,000 troops. You said he didn't send any troops when the war in the north was at its most critical, but now that we have won a series of victories, he is thinking of sending troops."
The handsome prince knelt by the pool, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Is he funny?"
During these five months, Zhou Huaiyan often took time out to accompany him and talked to him about many things, including the current situation, the changes in the capital, and their past, even though his uncle couldn't hear them.
"We captured another city the day before yesterday... But the foreigners are good at destroying things, but not so good at building things. Their city is at best a village built with earth and rocks."
"They started to raid our arsenal, trying to steal our guns, so Huai Yan bought a hundred mines there. When they thought they had stolen the sacred objects and were extremely excited, they all turned into exploding fireworks."
"After that, they never dared to rob again. So, uncle, robbers like these who always like to steal other people's things should be severely punished once, so that they are afraid to the core, or all of them should be killed, so that they will not dare to do it again next time."
The flickering candlelight flickered in Zhou Huaiyan's eyes. It was a warm color, but it gave off a chilling feeling.
"The day before yesterday, Qi Shoubang died on the battlefield. He was the first one to die. In a few days, Huai Yan will present Qu Pingye's head to you."
He looked at the broken arm of the man in the pool, his tone gentle,
"Oh, there is another arm. When Yanzhou was conquered, they fled with your arm. Now Qu Pingye has hung your arm on the wall of the capital. When the time comes, Huai Yan will take it back for you."
"And the one who cut off your arm..."
Zhou Huaiyan nodded his forehead, thinking hard.
"It seems to be called Siltu."
He smiled.
"It seems not enough to let him compensate you with a broken arm. How about cutting off all the limbs? Or, cut off the flesh piece by piece first, and then chop it off?"
"......"
Zhou Huaiyan knelt for a long time, as if he had noticed something. He suddenly reached out, disobeying Ah Fei's warning, and touched the old, slightly rosy, and seemingly alive face of his relative in the pool with his trembling hand.
——No breathing.
——No pulse.
“.......”
Zhou Huaiyan suddenly became dazed and his mind went blank.
After a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"so it is......."
Zhou Huaiyan covered his eyes and laughed miserably.
"You lied to me again."
My uncle died a long time ago.
Ah Fei, lied to him again.
......
When Zhou Huaiyan came out of the cave again, it was already the next morning. He stayed in there for another night, and when he came out, his hands and feet were as cold and hard as ice.
"Ouch~"
A white tiger was lying at the entrance of the cave. When it saw Zhou Huaiyan coming out, it immediately came up to him warmly and covered his hands with its warm body.
Although ice cream is called ice cream, its body temperature is much higher than that of humans.
Zhou Huaiyan's expression was calm, the same as before, and there was no sign of anything unusual. He looked up and saw General Wei He standing at the gate with a worried look on his face.
"Your Highness..."
"No problem."
Zhou Huaiyan waved his hands.
"Pass the order down, the entire army must immediately prepare everything and set out in seven days."
"yes!!!"
......
The next day, Ah Fei followed orders, pretended to be defeated, retreated more than 50 miles, and sent the remaining soldiers to ask for help, but was rejected and even the city gates were not opened. That night, the people in the two cities rioted, angrily denounced King Jianning, and some even burned down King Jianning's mansion.
On the fifth day, the news that Prince Jianning had forcibly occupied Jingzhou and Liangzhou and refused to allow General Yunfei's troops to withdraw spread from the northern border all the way to the south.
Moreover, the news became more and more outrageous, and by the time they reached the fifth city on the tenth day, it had become known that the Emperor had secretly ordered Prince Jianning to kill General Yun Fei.
On the fifteenth day, the foreign king ordered his general Si Ertu to lead an army of 100,000 to launch a counterattack, while the other 200,000 stayed behind to defend the capital.
After five months of fighting, the aliens suffered defeat after defeat, with countless casualties. Now the so-called 300,000-man army no longer consisted of the experienced warriors they were proud of before, but just some slaves who were hastily withdrawn to supplement their fighting power.
"Finally, it begins."
Zhou Huaiyan received the expected news and smiled coldly. He was standing on a high snowy peak, and the capital of the foreign race was only a hundred miles ahead.
Qu Ping is right there.
Now, Zhou Huaiyan has 50,000 troops in his hands, 10,000 of whom are used as surprise troops, divided into 100 small forces, infiltrating behind the enemy lines and burying 50,000 mines under the retreating route of the alien army.
Among the troops Zhou Huaiyan brought from the capital, in addition to the two thousand troops organized in Jiangnan, there were another one thousand who were trained slaves from foreign races.
If Qu Ping would use Zhou children as human slaves, then Zhou Huaiyan could also spend several years brainwashing foreign slaves who had been exploited, oppressed, and even abused by them, and turn them into spies.
These one thousand spies had already infiltrated their capital along with the retreating defeated foreign armies within five months.
"Your Highness, the list is clear."
Zhou Huaiyan turned his head and looked at her, quietly gazing at this maid who had been with him for seventeen years.
Ten days later, Hongdou finally hurried back, but there was a deep knife wound on her originally fair face, from the temple to the chin.
Zhou Huaiyan reached out his hand, but in the end he didn't dare touch her wound. He just asked softly,
"Follow me and be a lifelong warrior. Do you regret it?"
"No!"
The eldest palace maid shook her head firmly, her eyes clear and firm.
"When I was four years old, Prince Jing rebelled and all thirteen members of my family died. I was the only one who was saved by Princess Jiang Min. From that day on, my life belonged to the Princess."
She held Zhou Huaiyan's cold hand and passed her warmth to him.
"After the princess dies, my life will belong to your Highness."
"......good."
Zhou Huaiyan turned his head and looked at the soldiers at the foot of the mountain, all covered in white disguises and hiding in the snow, and asked softly:
"Have you deployed everything I ordered?"
Hongdou nodded.
"Five hundred artillery carts, three hundred catapults, all ready. Twenty thousand torpedo bombs, all distributed."
Zhou Huaiyan did not tell Ah Fei about this plan.
Similarly, at this time, no one would have thought that the Ninth Prince would lead only 50,000 troops to attack the capital city where the foreign race had stockpiled heavy troops.
In the first five months, he had only brought out 40,000 armed infantry and a few hundred mines, but tonight, this ninth prince had all his trump cards.
"good."
At this moment, Zhou Huaiyan turned to look at the capital in the distance. Tonight, 40,000 troops attacked the capital which was guarded by 200,000 foreign troops. Inside, there were also hundreds of thousands of foreign nobles and civilians, as well as hundreds of thousands of foreign slaves.
Perhaps those people are the army's reserve forces, and when faced with desperate situations, they may become jackals who fight back at all costs.
Can......
So what?
The handsome prince had a cold expression on his face, and the tail of his headband fluttered in the wind and snow.
Tonight, he, Zhou Huaiyan, will let this capital be buried with his uncle!
......
Midnight.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, lighting up the night as if it were daytime.
In the past, the fireworks set off by foreign tribes were all stolen from the prefectures in the northern border. And the fireworks in the northern border were naturally not as good as those in the capital.
At this moment, countless foreigners raised their heads and looked up, with brilliant colors reflected on their faces and in their eyes.
Then, it turned into fear.
Now, the most beautiful fireworks of the Great Zhou Dynasty have finally been set off in the heartland of the foreign race. They are beautiful and fantastic, like the divine flowers scattered in the sky, but what they foreshadow is the bloody revenge of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then, just as Zhou Huaiyan had expected, he arranged a thousand spies among the alien races to start bombing the city according to the predetermined plan.
In fact, those foreigners who called themselves warriors were all of noble origin. They were born noble and refused to submit. But foreign slaves were different. They had been abused and humiliated for generations, and had accumulated endless resentment.
It was like a pile of explosives. Zhou Huaiyan only needed to give them a spark and they could blow to pieces their once extremely resentful enemies.
"What's going on? What's going on!!!"
The foreign king Qu Pingye was still in Wenrou Township when he heard the tremor outside. The two naked women beside him screamed.
"Shut up!"
He slapped the man to the ground and stood up. Before he could stand firmly, there was another earth-shaking noise from outside, and the ground beneath his feet shook.
“Who is it?!!!”
His eyes turned red, and he immediately called someone in, his heart filled with doubt and anger.
"Shouldn't Heluobei be hundreds of miles away? ! ! What's going on outside? ! ! "
"Reply...Reply to the king, no one is attacking the city. It seems...it's our people...No, no, no, it should be spies who have infiltrated."
"What?!!"
Qu Pingye kicked the man away, his face grim, and strode out with a huge sword in hand.
The explosions in the city lasted for a full quarter of an hour before they stopped. Just as a large number of troops were organized to capture the spies, a second burst of fireworks lit up in the sky.
red.
Bang!!!
At the moment the fireworks exploded, five hundred artillery vehicles aimed at the city and started the first round of bombing, while the three hundred catapults threw not stones but explosive packs wrapped in iron sheets.
Time was limited, and technology was also limited. In three years, Zhou Huaiyan was able to make 500 crude cannons, which was the limit, so he could only settle for the next best thing, make catapults, and then release explosive packets.
There is even a layer of iron sheet on the outside of the explosive package. When it explodes, the flying fragments will cause secondary casualties.
In an instant, shells burst through the air like a torrential rain, smashing down densely. The capital was ablaze with flames and screams shook the sky.
He told his uncle at the time that there were 6,000 elite soldiers, 2,000 of whom were infantry, and the remaining 4,000 were all artillery.
Zhou Huaiyan's only weakness was his number of men, so he used more advanced weapons that even surpassed this era to make up for it.
He did not have to fight with human lives, but instead used his dozen of years of accumulation, dozen of years of planning and lurking to fight against the enemy's hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
This was the first time for the foreign tribes to encounter such a battle, and they thought that the Zhou people had reached their limit with something that could shoot iron bullets.
They thought that they would be safe as long as they hid in the city. But until this night, they realized how naive their previous thoughts were.
"That is..."
"What...what is that...?"
The foreign warriors who once viewed the Zhou people as weak and could be killed and abused at will now stared at them blankly.
The falling fireballs, the devastated capital, and the crashing bombs all resounded in my mind at this moment.
The sky collapsed and the earth split, and the sun, moon, mountains and rivers were all shaken.
Everything before my eyes seemed like divine punishment.
Countless foreigners lost all their will to resist in just the first round of bombing.
Because they can only see the densely packed divine objects falling down and blowing buildings and people into pieces, but they cannot see the enemies.
"It must be God... It must be God's punishment!!!"
"No!! I don't want to die, I don't want to die ahhhh!!!"
"My hand...my hand..."
It was dark night, and the entire capital of the alien race was engulfed in flames, lighting up the night sky as if it were daytime.
Zhou Huaiyan stood on a snow-capped peak hundreds of meters high, watching all this quietly. The noble Ninth Prince, who had never killed even a chicken, was now implicated in the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
He lowered his head and looked at his clean hands, but he suddenly felt that they were covered in blood.
But, do you regret it?
Zhou Huaiyan asked himself,
Then, the handsome prince sneered.
This was the first time Hongdou had seen such a scene. If all this had not actually happened before her eyes, she would never have been able to imagine that a war could be fought like this.
Forty thousand versus hundreds of thousands, such a huge disparity in numbers actually left the other side helpless, like a one-sided massacre.
The maid of honor looked at the master in front of her to whom she had sworn allegiance, and a feeling of infinite fear arose in her heart, followed by infinite admiration.
When the Duke of Wei cut off the head of the previous foreign king, he was already over thirty years old. But now, her highness, at only twenty-two years old, has done something that no other general since the founding of the country could do.
The maid stood behind Zhou Huaiyan, staring up at him blankly.
The gorgeous prince stood on the top of the mountain, facing the howling snow and wind, and the brilliant flames that made his face look almost gorgeous to the point of being dazzling.
The wind and waves raised by the artillery fire wrapped in heavy snow, blew against his robe, and made a rustling sound, as if he was about to ride on the wind and fly away.
At this moment, Hongdou could feel the ecstasy and excitement of the countless soldiers below, but she could not find a trace of joy on Zhou Huaiyan's face.
My Lord, you are as calm as a dead person.
Even at such a long distance, Zhou Huaiyan could still vaguely hear screams coming from afar. Perhaps when in desperate situations, all human screams sound the same.
When your uncle lost his hand, did he cry out in pain?
No, it won't.
The battle report said that even though Jiang Yi had his arm cut off, he continued to fight.
The bloody battle continues.
Oh--
Zhou Huaiyan couldn't help but laugh miserably.
Well, blood debt must be paid with blood.
The screams that are now happening in the foreign city have also occurred in every state capital in the northern border, and can even be traced back to many years ago, and even to tens of millions of people in the heart of the Great Zhou.
However, Zhou Huaiyan would not use high-sounding words like national hatred or defending the country to describe himself. Everything he did now, even if he was called a murderer or even a cold-blooded butcher,
No matter what kind of criticism or hateful name he received, Zhou Huaiyan didn't care at all.
The only reason he did all this was to avenge one person.
Yes, revenge.
Those who kill others will always be killed.
If foreigners dare to become invaders and murderers, they should be prepared to be retaliated, counter-invaded, or even exterminated the day they make such a decision.
The artillery carts and catapults alternated and fired indiscriminately for three rounds, which lasted for nearly an hour.
Now the surviving foreigners have found places to hide. Although there are things blocking them, they can still feel the cold winter on the ground. The sound of artillery bombardment is almost breaking the eardrums.
It looks like purgatory on earth, but the people struggling inside are actually evil spirits who deserve the punishment for their crimes.
The dimensionality reduction and crushing of technological civilization was clearly demonstrated this night.
After three rounds, Zhou Huaiyan called for a stop.
Because the other side had someone standing on the city wall holding his uncle's severed arm.
In the raging fire, Zhou Huaiyan could clearly see that a large section of the arm had been exposed, with white bones visible.
"Ah...that's ridiculous."
Zhou Huaiyan stroked the forbidden dagger in his hand, and his pleasant voice sounded unusually chilly in the wind and snow.
"They tried every possible means to kill him, and now they use his severed arm as a shield."
Hongdou took a step forward with some concern.
"Your Highness, shall I take someone to bring... it back?"
"No,"
Zhou Huaiyan turned around and walked onto the chariot.
"Your Highness will go there in person."
An army of 40,000 soldiers approached the city, but they strangely frightened hundreds of thousands of foreigners into trembling with fear.
In other words, it is hard to say how many are left now.
Hongdou received the news and suddenly leaned over to report.
"Your Highness, the foreign king just sent out a small group of cavalry and they fled from the back mountain."
"Well, we should go find Siltu for help."
Zhou Huaiyan had expected this.
"Let the ambushers guard well, and let those 5,000 mines..."
"——Make the best use of everything."
despair.
The chariot Zhou Huaiyan was riding in stopped two hundred meters away from the gate of the alien capital.
He came with several thousand men.
However, behind them were 40,000 troops ambushed in the snow, and further behind were 500 artillery vehicles and dozens of tons of remaining shells and explosives.
Upstairs, the foreign tribe sent people to request peace talks. They said they were willing to surrender, and the conditions could be negotiated, and they could even become a vassal state of the Great Zhou...
Zhou Huaiyan sneered and raised his hand.
The next second, the maid opened the black wooden box she had been carrying behind her.
——An overly refined rifle fell into his hands
Zhou Huaiyan raised his gun and aimed.
Bang!
The next second, the alien soldier holding the severed arm fell to the ground and died on the spot.
In an instant, countless foreigners on the city walls were terrified.
"Let Qu Ping Jena bring his head, otherwise, there is no room for negotiation."
Zhou Huaiyan finished speaking in a foreign language and casually threw the rifle to the head palace maid.
Just when countless alien warriors were angry and terrified, the gorgeous fireworks that had become the nightmare of countless aliens exploded in the sky again! ! !
But they didn't know that this time, Zhou Huaiyan was just setting off fireworks for fun.
“Here it comes again… Here it comes again ahhhhh!!!”
Finally, they went crazy with fear and only cared about finding the foreign king whom they had worshipped.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Where is Your Majesty!!!"
Soon, the remaining 100,000 alien warriors received the king's order.
“Kill!!!”
"Kill them!!!"
"Kill Zhou Huaiyan!!!"
There were even thousands of foreign soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the city. At this moment, they were like a dark tide, sweeping in.
A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky.
Zhou Huaiyan sneered.
"Ah... As expected, it's not true surrender, it's just stalling for time."
Staying in the city would only result in being killed, but rushing out would give them a glimmer of hope. They even placed servants, slaves, and the elderly, weak, women, and children in the front to serve as human shields to block the bullets.
Then rushed over——
At this moment, no one knew that in the darkness, a cold arrow was aimed at Zhou Huaiyan on the chariot. Qu Pingye pulled the longbow with a venomous look in his eyes.
“Go to hell!!!!”
The black arrow flew through the air in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness, be careful!!!"
Hongdou's eyes were red with anger, and she was about to rush over to block Zhou Huaiyan, but she was too far away.
Bang--!!!
A long spear came through the air like an arrow piercing the clouds, breaking the black arrow into two pieces and sticking it firmly into the snow.
Zhou Huaiyan was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to look in the direction where the halberd came from, but it was too late, because suddenly, in front of him, a foreigner riding a warhorse rushed towards him.
"roar!!!"
The next second, a giant white beast rushed into the chaotic army, knocking down countless people along the way, then bit off the cavalryman's head in one bite and crushed the horse's throat.
【ice cream.......】
Zhou Huaiyan soon realized.
Before the army set out, he left the ice cream at the original camp, but he didn't expect that the other side would go to find Ah Fei.
However, Zhou Huaiyan had nothing to say to the person who cheated him twice. He just took the □□ from Hongdou's hand.
Fire three times into the air.
Then, countless artillery fire fell like a meteor shower.
Behind him, 40,000 soldiers raised their guns.
And further behind, a hundred thousand Northern troops were coming like a tide.
This scene is gorgeous, beautiful, and tragic.
"What a shame..."
Zhou Huaiyan shook his head and sighed.
"You can't see, uncle."
The two sides fought fiercely all night, and then another day, and then another night.
South wind
The huge alien capital was razed to the ground, and 300,000 alien soldiers were all killed. Only tens of thousands of weak alien women and children were left hiding in the ruins and became prisoners of war.
General Yun Fei captured the foreign king Qu Ping alive.
Zhou Huaiyan personally used a forbidden dagger to dig out his heart and then chopped off his head.
Since then, the foreign race has been exterminated.
The bloody battle ended, and Ah Fei retrieved the Duke of Wei's severed arm for Zhou Huaiyan.
——It is already incomplete.
Because the aliens found that Zhou Huaiyan was particularly concerned about this broken arm, they finally chopped it into pieces with a knife.
Ah Fei only found a palm that was barely put together.
At this time, the Northern Army was cleaning up the battlefield in the joy of victory. Zhou Huaiyan held his uncle's severed hand and sat on the cliff to watch the sunrise.
Even though we had experienced such a brutal war, the sun still rose as usual when the time came.
Ah Fei stood behind and didn't dare to get closer.
Because when he rescued Duke Wei, he only succeeded in keeping him alive for three hours.
Even gods can't save such serious injuries.
However, if Zhou Huaiyan were told the truth, he would not proceed cautiously step by step as he does now. He would probably disregard everything and desperately attack the alien capital.
Zhou Huaiyan looked quietly towards the east, the golden light falling on his blood-stained face, reflecting a fascinating deep color, which became more and more illusory and beautiful.
Zhou Huaiyan loved cleanliness the most, but at the moment he was covered in blood, he didn't care. He even didn't feel scared or disgusted when he held the bloody severed hand in his arms.
"Uncle, look..."
He whispered,
"The ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years have now melted into a river."
"From now on, your beloved Great Zhou will no longer have to worry about foreign invasions."
"The Jiang family... no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty will die at the hands of foreigners."
"......"
After a long, long time, Ah Fei heard a very small cry.
"uncle......"
"uncle......"
"uncle......"
The little prince on the cliff began to tremble. He curled up, holding his broken palm tightly in his arms, as if he had lost everything at this moment.
The world collapses.
Reason is shattered, calm is annihilated,
All that remains is the human instinct to vent emotions.
Ah Fei couldn't see his face, nor could she see him crying, she could only hear...
He screamed and cried hysterically.
It was as if all my internal organs were shattered at this moment and my heart was crushed into a pool of rotten mud.
Maybe it hurts more than that.
It will hurt a thousand times, ten thousand times more.
Because, even when Zhou Huaiyan was enduring the most bone-wrenching pain left by the snake poison, he never shed a tear.
At this moment, Ah Fei even lost the courage to go forward and hug him.
He stared at Zhou Huaiyan's back in a daze, and suddenly realized that after today, the beautiful little bird might never fly again.
——He might die.
And I need to find a goal for him that can replace Duke Wei and make Zhou Huaiyan willing to live for.
In other words, relatives.
The author has something to say:
The next chapter of the small dark room is about to open.
Cats should work hard to prepare for pregnancy and leave beautiful little birds.
Volume 3: The Little Black Room
