Chapter 112: Black Rock City's "First Lesson of Love Education"
At dawn, a thin mist shrouded the towering walls of Obsidian City (formerly Black Rock City, which Fuying changed its name to show his determination).
On the city wall, Fuying's sun flag fluttered in the wind. The defenders were densely packed, and their swords and guns flashed coldly in the morning light.
Sato Ichiro, the defender of Fuying, stood at the highest point of the city wall, looking at the dark army formation of the Yan Kingdom in the distance outside the city, his face full of arrogance and disdain.
"Baga! The Yan people are just bluffing!"
He used stiff Yan language mixed with Fuying language to roar at the defenders on the city wall and the Yan vanguard vaguely visible below.
"What Princess Fuxing? She's just a woman who used her beauty to seduce Prince Yong! The last time she used that magic, she must have used some evil magic! This time, our Obsidian City is impregnable! They will never return! Kill all the pigs of Yan Nation!"
The obscene words were faintly heard on the wind and floated clearly into the front of the Yan Kingdom's army.
Dongfang Yuning, who was firmly protected by Nangong Ye, still dressed in moon-white men's clothes and with her hair tied up with a jade crown, had a dark face in an instant! Two small flames ignited in her clear eyes!
[118! Is this shorty looking for death?! He curses me, and then he curses the soldiers of the Yan Nation?! And he even uses sorcery?! Today, I'll show you the power of science! Physical salvation!]
The villain in her heart is on the verge of going berserk.
System 118 instantly entered combat mode:
[Beep! Detected enemy leader's continued suicidal behavior! Obscene verbal attack +10086! Host's rage value is MAX! Exchange for a 'Simple Loudspeaker' (Retro Copper)! KPI: Education of Love (Physical Version) activated! (System prompt sound indicating successful exchange)]
Dongfang Yuning just flipped her hand, and a yellow, simple-shaped copper trumpet instantly appeared in her hand.
She took a deep breath, and under Nangong Ye's somewhat helpless yet indulgent gaze, she put the loudspeaker to her lips, condensed her Qi into her Dantian, and used all her strength. A clear and penetrating female voice instantly resounded through the loudspeaker across the battlefield, drowning out the noise of the Fuying defenders:
"You short, fat guys from Fuying--!!! Listen up to me--!!!"
Yan Kingdom Army Formation:
“!!!”
All the soldiers were in high spirits! Here it comes! The princess's pre-battle speech (and taunting)! Although the content is a bit... tough.
Fuying defenders: “???”
This clear and arrogant female voice... is it that Princess Fuxing? What is she holding?
Dongfang Yuning didn't give the other party any time to react and continued to speak, his speed as fast as a cannon:
"Your doghouse made of shabby bricks and tiles dares to call it Obsidian City? I think it's more like a toilet! And you think it's impregnable? Bullshit!
Your Emperor's head is full of kelp soup, right? It's fishy and muddy! I didn't make you understand last time, did I? You still dare to spew shit? You insult my Yan country soldiers? You insult my man?!
She became more and more angry as she spoke, and her face puffed up:
"Today, I'm here to teach you a lesson! It's free! It's a lesson of love! The theme is - not everyone can poop on their head!
Dare you poop? I'll make you eat it all! I'll even mix your ashes into your rice! Do you understand?! Short! Winter! Melon! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! !!!! "
She spoke the last three words one by one, amplified them through the loudspeaker, and they hit the Fuying defenders on the heads like thunder!
Yan Kingdom Army Formation:
[Poof!]
Countless soldiers bit their lips tightly and their shoulders shook wildly!
[Bibimbap?! The princess is so majestic! It’s so satisfying to scold her!]
[This metaphor...although vulgar...but inexplicably touching!]
[The princess's trumpet is amazing! Her voice is so bright!]
Nangong Chengqian held his forehead:
[Auntie... could you be a little more polite? But... you really enjoy scolding me!]
The Fuying defenders were all confused and furious! Sato Ichiro's face was twisted with anger:
"Bakayalu! Witch! Shoot her to death!"
However, the arrows could not reach the Yan Kingdom's army formation and fell in vain on the open ground.
Nangong Ye looked at the little princess beside him who was as angry as a beast with its fur standing on end, and a smile flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at Obsidian City, his eyes instantly became icy cold.
He no longer hesitated and slowly raised his right hand.
Following his movements, on the flank of the Yan Kingdom army, on the gentle slope of the high ground that was closely guarded by the personal guards, rows of extremely dreamy "Cornetto" rocket launchers, with a pink and blue base, cute clouds and rainbows painted on them, and the firing ports being cartoon whale heads with wide-open mouths, were steadily set up!
The Fuying defenders also saw those things.
"What…what is that?"
"Toys? The Yan people bring toys to war?"
"Pink and blue... such a girly thing!"
"Hahaha! Is Yan Country deserted? Using something like this to fight a war? It's hilarious!"
A burst of laughter filled with contempt erupted from the city wall.
On the Yan Kingdom side, except for the core generals and Nangong Ye's personal soldiers who had witnessed its power, most of the ordinary soldiers were seeing the legendary Cornetto for the first time.
"Uh... is that the princess's new weapon? It looks... quite cute?"
"Like a large toy... can it really fight?"
"It's a light blue...it feels...a little girly."
"Shh! Stop talking nonsense! Could the princess's things be ordinary items? Just look at them!"
Dongfang Yuning listened to the ridicule of the Fuying people and the murmurs of his own soldiers, snorted, and gave a clear order into the loudspeaker:
"Ready! Target! The city gate tower! And the group of short, fat guys who laugh the loudest! Take aim!"
[118! Target locked! BGM ready!]
She directed internally.
System 118:
[Beep! Target locked! 'Awakening' package ready! BGM 'Unstoppable' high-energy version loading! 3! 2! 1! Host! Fire! (System simulates countdown sound effect)]
Dongfang Yuning waved her hand, and a clear and decisive command came from the loudspeaker:
"emission--!!!"
“Swish, swish, swish, swish—!!!”
Dozens of "cartoon whales," each with a dreamy pink flame trailing its tail, instantly burst forth from their chambers! With a sharp, air-piercing sound, like a swarm of angry pink meteors, they whizzed with uncanny precision towards Obsidian City's seemingly impenetrable gate tower and the densely defended section of the city wall!
On the city wall, the laughter of the Fuying defenders suddenly stopped! The arrogance on Sato Ichiro's face was instantly replaced by horror! What kind of speed is that?! What is that thing?!
“Boom boom boom!!!”
Earth-shattering explosions erupted almost simultaneously, shaking the earth like a divine punishment.
In the dazed, shocked, and then ecstatic eyes of the Yan Kingdom soldiers, and in the reflection of the desperate pupils of the Fuying defenders—
The towering city gate tower, which symbolizes the eastern barrier of Fuying, seemed to be grasped and crushed by an invisible giant hand!
Amidst the deafening roar and the rising flames and thick smoke, it instantly turned into countless pieces of stone and broken wood, mixed with broken limbs and arms, and scattered like fireworks!
All that was left was a huge, charred, terrifying pit with billowing smoke!
The nearby section of the city wall, which had been given special care, looked as if it had been bitten by a giant! The solid wall was torn and collapsed like paper!
Debris fell like a torrential rain, instantly burying the Fuying soldiers below who were unable to dodge! The screams were drowned out by the even more violent explosions!
Smoke and dust filled the air, covering the sky and the sun! The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and the strong smell of blood!
Dead silence!
The battlefield fell into deathly silence!
On the Yan Kingdom's side, all the soldiers who thought she was so cute and effeminate just now now opened their mouths wide, their eyes almost popping out!
Looking at the city wall that instantly turned into ruins, watching the flames and smoke rising into the sky, feeling the earth shaking beneath my feet...
"Mother...Mother..."
An old soldier muttered to himself, his voice trembling.
"This...this pale blue thing...is so...so fucking brutal!"
"Oh my God! The city gate tower... is gone?! Just gone?!"
"This power...this...this isn't just a woman's cry! This is the King of Hell's death warrant!"
"Princess Fuxing! Princess! You are our God!!"
"It's so cute! So cute! I love it!!"
"Brothers! What are you waiting for?! Charge!!"
Someone shouted, instantly igniting the blood and ferocity of the Yan Nation soldiers! The shock they felt just now instantly transformed into boundless fanaticism and murderous intent!
[118! See it! See it! The effect is outstanding! Art is an explosion! A pale blue explosion!]
Dongfang Yuning's face flushed with excitement, and she twisted and turned in Nangong Ye's arms.
System 118:
[Ding! KPI exceeded! 'Awakening' package effect: Physical Transcendence + MAX Mental Destruction! Fuying defenders' SAN value reset to zero! Yan Nation's morale +10086! Host, you are a battlefield artist! (System displays slow-motion explosion replay with a pale blue filter)]
Nangong Chengqian looked at the ruins, then looked at his excited aunt beside him, and was shocked:
[Auntie…you call this cute?! This is clearly a weapon of destruction!]
On Fuying's side, the surviving soldiers looked at the city gate tower and the collapsed city wall that disappeared in an instant, looked at the mess on the ground and the remains of their companions, listened to the thunderous cheers from the Yan Kingdom... Fear, like a cold poisonous snake, instantly grabbed their hearts!
"Devil! Devil!"
"Witchcraft! It's the witchcraft of that witch in white!"
"The city gate is gone! The city is broken! Run!"
The Fuying soldiers who had luckily escaped the bombing, driven by sheer terror, ignored all orders and, like headless flies, wailed and screamed as they madly rushed out from the breaches in the city walls and the remaining gates! They just wanted to escape this hell! Escape from that pale blue demon!
"put!"
Nangong Chengqian seized the opportunity and gave orders calmly.
The Yan Kingdom's archers, who had been prepared for this, fired a volley of arrows. The rain of arrows was like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the Fuying fleeing soldiers who were at the forefront of the chaos. But this did not stop the torrent of fleeing soldiers.
"retreat!"
Nangong Chengqian gave another order with clear gestures. The Yan army's front troops quickly retreated in a well-trained manner, clearing the front passage.
Those frightened Fuying fleeing soldiers, seeing the Yan people "retreat", felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw, and rushed even more frantically towards the direction where the Yan army formation had retreated!
They didn't even notice that the seemingly flat land beneath their feet...
"boom!"
“Puff!”
“Swish—bang!”
"laugh--!"
All kinds of strange and varied explosions, muffled sounds, and screams instantly exploded among the fleeing soldiers!
Balls of foul-smelling green slime bombs (Resident Evil Slime Set) wrapped several soldiers like green dumplings, sticking them to the ground, unable to move, and wailing in despair.
A series of sky-high monkey social death packages, the Sky-high Monkey Crown, with small flags tied to them, screamed out from the ground and accurately pierced into the buttocks or helmet of some unlucky person, causing the people around them to laugh (from Yan Country) and even more terrified screams!
The colorful smoke bombs spread out, with a strong tear-jerking effect (Rainbow Seven Crying Set), instantly making a large number of defeated soldiers burst into tears, their eyes were red and swollen, their vision was blurred, they coughed heart-wrenchingly, and their combat effectiveness was reduced to zero!
There was even a super glue bomb (the "Life and Death Love" combo), which directly glued two soldiers who were trying to support each other to escape together, turning them into conjoined twins, struggling desperately in the smoke...
The entire area of the defeated soldiers instantly turned into a chaotic, colorful, ghostly and howling scene... a large-scale prank scene!
It is a hundred times more spectacular than the previous Toad Test Field!
The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom's army no longer felt any tension from the battle. They stretched their necks, stood on tiptoe, and pointed at the fleeing Fuying soldiers as if they were watching a big show, laughing and joking:
"Look, look! That green thing! Doesn't it look like a water ghost in the pond?"
"Hahaha! That flying monkey stuck in my butt! What's written on the flag? Am I an idiot? Hahaha! The princess is so talented!"
"Oh my! Those two are stuck together! That posture...tsk tsk tsk! It's an eye-opener!"
"This smoke... is multicolored? It's pretty nice! But the smell... ugh... it stings my eyes!"
"Brothers, the market's open! Bet on what surprise will be the next one you step on! I'll bet a bag of jerky, and the next one will be itching powder!"
"I bet on super glue!"
Nangong Chengqian looked at this extremely strange and joyful battlefield scene, and then looked at his aunt in the arms of his uncle, who was wearing men's clothes and watching with great interest, even commenting that "the flying monkey didn't fly high enough". He felt a sense of absurdity in his heart:
[War... can you fight like this? Auntie, you're treating the battlefield like a playground! But... it's really stress-relieving!]
Nangong Ye hugged his excited little wife in his arms, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the entire battlefield.
When he saw that on the flank of the Fuying defeated troops, there was a team of about a thousand people, which had maintained a relatively intact organization in the chaos, led by a general, trying to bypass the minefield and outflank the Yan Kingdom army from the flank, his eyes turned cold.
However, before he could give the order, Dongfang Yuning also noticed it and curled her lips:
"Humph! Still want to make dumplings? Wish you could do that!"
She pointed in that direction with her little hand:
"Brother Aye! Over there! Give them some more food!"
Nangong Ye immediately understood and made a gesture to his personal guards on the gentle slope of the high ground.
On the gentle slope, several "Cornetto" planes quickly adjusted their angles.
“Swoosh—boom!”
Several pale blue meteors accurately struck the center of the Fuying team that was attempting to outflank them! The terrifying explosion and gust of air instantly ripped the neatly-organized team to pieces!
When the smoke and dust cleared, only a large pit and a few wailing wounded soldiers remained. General Zhang and his horse were nowhere to be found.
Outflanking? It's over before it even begins.
Nangong Ye lowered his head and looked at the handsome little scholar in his arms with a nonchalant expression on his face, with deep pride and doting in his eyes.
He used his strength to lift her up and let her sit sideways steadily on his strong arms! This posture allowed her to overlook the entire battlefield.
"Let's go, Ning'er."
His voice was steady, with an air of looking down on the world.
"Follow me, and take over our city."
Nangong Ye held his handsome young scholar in his arms, as if he were the most precious trophy, and rode his horse slowly forward. Crown Prince Nangong Chengqian immediately led his elite troops to follow.
Wherever they passed, the soldiers of Yan State automatically parted the road and erupted in thunderous cheers:
"The prince is mighty! The princess (princess) is mighty!"
They walked through the messy "Scratch-off" minefield (the surviving Fuying defeated soldiers had already been captured like chickens by the Yan soldiers who followed up), passed through the huge, smoking ruins of the city gate (the former Obsidian City Gate Tower), and entered the Obsidian City.
The city was in ruins. The surviving Fuying people hid behind the ruins in fear, trembling as they looked at the army that seemed to have descended from the sky, and at the young man in men's clothes with a peerless appearance who was held in the arms of the tall and cold prince.
Nangong Ye held Dongfang Yuning in his arms and stood at the highest point left in the city (a half-collapsed watchtower). Nangong Chengqian immediately arranged for soldiers to maintain order and eliminate the remaining enemies.
Dongfang Yuning raised her brass trumpet again, and the clear sound spread throughout the city:
"Citizens of Obsidian City! Listen up!!"
All eyes were instantly focused on her.
"I keep my word! The first lesson of love education is over! You have seen the results!"
Her face was serious.
"From now on, this place belongs to Yan Nation! You are the people of Yan Nation!"
She paused, her tone softened slightly, but still left no room for doubt:
"As long as you behave yourself, study the Yan language well, and abide by the laws of the Yan Kingdom, I promise! The Yan Kingdom will ensure that you have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a stable and happy life! This is a hundred times better than living in that poor and remote Fuying place where you're always thinking about robbing others!"
"but!"
She changed the subject, her face became serious, and her eyes became sharp.
"If anyone still has evil intentions, wants to cause trouble, wants to be a troublemaker..."
Before she finished speaking, several Fuying people with resentful eyes, who were obviously fanatics, suddenly pulled out the daggers hidden on their bodies and rushed towards the Yan soldiers closest to them with roars!
"Baga! You dog from Yan Kingdom! Die!"
"Fight them!"
Nangong Ye's eyes instantly turned as cold as ten thousand years of black ice! He didn't even lift his eyelids.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
Several dark shadows flashed by like ghosts, so fast that they were almost impossible to capture with the naked eye!
The knife flashed and disappeared!
The several Fuying fanatics who had rushed forward remained frozen in their tracks. The next second, a line of blood appeared on their necks, and their heads rolled off! Warm blood spurted out!
The secret guards who had attacked were as if they had never appeared, disappearing into the shadows in an instant. Only a few headless corpses collapsed to the ground, and the ground was covered with glaring scarlet.
The entire city was filled with a terrifying silence! All the people of Fuying, including some who still held out hope, were instantly terrified by this cold, precise, ant-crushing slaughter!
The strong smell of blood and the rolling heads were more convincing than any words!
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Like felled wheat, the surviving Fuying people, regardless of gender, age or status, all knelt on the ground with pale faces, their foreheads pressed against the cold ground, their bodies shaking like sieves, and they no longer dared to have the slightest thought of resistance.
Dongfang Yuning looked at the corpses, his face turned slightly pale, but his eyes remained firm.
She took a deep breath and spoke into the speaker, her voice returning to calm, yet carrying an undeniable power:
"See? This is the end. The choice is in your hands. Live well and be obedient citizens of Yan Country, or... become like them."
Nangong Chengqian looked at this thundering method and the scene of instant submission, and complained madly in his heart:
What a fierce husband-and-wife duo! One is responsible for physical destruction with cute weapons, and the other is responsible for mental suppression with Death Notice!
One plays the bad guy (albeit a bit fiercely), the other plays the bad guy (so pale he could freeze you to death)! Who dares to mess with this duo? They're simply dying! The aunt is responsible for shocking the enemy, while the uncle is responsible for scaring them silly! A perfect match!
He did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the civil servants and follow-up troops he brought with him to quickly take over the defense of the city, comfort (intimidate) the people, count the supplies, and treat the wounded, mainly those who were slightly injured on his own side and... the overly curious soldiers of Yan State who were accidentally injured by the "surprise".
Nangong Ye held Dongfang Yuning in his arms and rode his horse slowly around the city that had just changed hands. Wherever he passed, the kneeling people dared not even breathe.
[118, is this… done?]
Dongfang Yuning leaned on Nangong Ye's solid chest, feeling a little tired. The shouting and witnessing the killing just now had consumed a lot of his energy.
System 118:
[Ding! Obsidian City capture battle KPI perfectly achieved! Time taken: one hour (including verbal battle and watching the show)!
Casualty Ratio: Minor scrapes for our side vs. complete annihilation and mental breakdown for the enemy! The host's "Love Education" (physical and mental) has been remarkably effective! Titles earned: "Pink-Blue Grim Reaper," "Jade-Faced Evil Star"! (System-awarded virtual medal)
[Powder Blue Grim Reaper? Jade-faced Evil Star?]
Dongfang Yuning's mouth twitched.
[…Okay, it sounds better than 'Kawaii Launcher'.]
Nangong Ye felt the tiredness of the little girl in his arms, lowered his head and placed a light kiss on the top of her head, his voice low and gentle:
"Tired? Go back and rest. Ning'er did a great job today."
It’s really good, the deterrent effect far exceeds expectations.
Dongfang Yuning rubbed against his arms, found a comfortable position, and muttered softly:
"Um...Brother Aye, I'm hungry...I want to eat braised pork..."
A smile appeared in Nangong Ye's eyes:
"good."
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ruined walls and streets of Obsidian City, as well as on the figures of the couple walking together in embrace.
One of them was dressed in black and looked as cold as a god, while the other one was white as moon and stained with blood (not her blood) and looked like a banished immortal (an evil star?).
The flag of Yan State replaced Fuying's sun flag and fluttered on the top of the city.
Nangong Chengqian watched the retreating figures of the beautiful couple (?), then looked at the land beneath his feet, which had just experienced bloodshed and fire but had quickly returned to order. He breathed a sigh of relief and instructed his adjutant:
"Send the message. The army will rest in the city today. Tomorrow..."
He looked towards the east, where there were more Fuying cities.
"Keep going! At the next city, I hope the Fuying people... can learn their lesson and stop forcing my aunt to take another 'love education' class."
Mainly, he was afraid that his heart could not withstand the next round of "Pink and Blue Fireworks Show" and "Scratch-off Adventure".
The legends about the "Jade-faced Evil Star" and his "Pink and Blue Death" weapon, as well as Prince Yong's suffocating doting and decisive killing, were spreading rapidly throughout Fuying along with the smoke of Obsidian City, bringing endless fear.
Yan State's westward expedition is advancing forcefully in an extremely hardcore yet extremely "cute" style.
