Chapter 207 Raid on the Vulture Tribe
The three earth-shattering "firework shows" on Blackreef Island were like three heavy hammers, which not only shattered the courage of the Northern Di spies and representatives, but also deeply engraved a fear called "absolute deterrence" into the souls of all the lurkers.
On the command ship, the smell of gunpowder has not yet completely dissipated.
Nangong Yue held onto Shen Xiaoyun's arm tightly, her heart still beating wildly, the devastating scene just now lingering in her mind.
Chen Xiaoyun's face turned pale, and fine beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. He looked at the slender figure in front of him, and his heart was in turmoil:
How can this be considered as a heartless act by my aunt? This is clearly... a demonic method! If the thing in her hand really has any ambition at all.
Not to mention the Northern Di, even conquering the four seas and tackling the eight wildernesses would be a snap! Fortunately... fortunately, she is ours...]
Dongfang Yuning just did a trivial thing. She patted the non-existent dust on her hands.
She turned around, raised her small face, still bright and charming in the moonlight, and smiled sweetly at the man beside her. Her tone was as relaxed as if she was discussing tonight's midnight snack:
"Husband, the appetizers are served. They seem quite tasty. Next, should we muster our troops and personally go to Beidi to greet those restless neighbors? Reciprocity is the way to show Yanmao's generosity, isn't it?"
First courtesy, then force?
Her gift almost scared the hell out of people!
How cruel will this soldier be?
Nangong Ye looked down at her, her cunning and clever appearance reflected in his deep eyes, and the cold murderous intent was covered by deep doting.
He reached out and naturally wrapped her small hand, which was slightly chilled by the sea breeze, in his warm and broad palm.
"Ning'er is right."
His voice was low and steady, yet it carried a kind of decisiveness like the clanging of metal.
"The gift has been delivered, so we must have soldiers. We can't let people think that I, Yanmao, only know how to set off fireworks."
He put his arm around Dongfang Yuning's shoulders and turned to face the generals and secret guards in the cabin who were already excited and ready to fight.
In an instant, his aura suddenly changed!
He was no longer the gentle and affectionate husband, but turned back into the ruthless and powerful Prince Yong, Dayan's god of war!
His eyes were as sharp as a hawk as he swept over the crowd. His voice was not loud, but it carried a frightening majesty and iron-blooded aura:
"Did you all see this? The Northern Di barbarians, with their wicked ambitions, have repeatedly invaded our territory, coveting the prosperity of Yanmao and even plotting something illicit!
"Your Majesty has issued a decree: Anyone who dares to offend will be severely punished! Today, since they have received the gift, we will return the favor with force!"
"Dragon Feather Guard! Mountain Ghost Camp!"
He shouted in a deep voice.
"I will be here!"
Two powerful generals immediately stepped forward, their armor clanging and their eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"According to the original plan, set off immediately! The Dragon Fang Guards will lead the charge, charging directly into the Vulture Tribe's tent! The Mountain Ghost Battalion will disperse to provide support, sniping the leader, burning food supplies, and creating chaos!
Remember, I want speed and ferocity! Like a red-hot knife plunging into butter! Strike and run, never a lingering fight, but make them feel the pain deep in their bones!
"Understood!"
The two warriors obeyed the order, their eyes gleaming with bloodthirstiness. The prince was ordering them to carry out a surgical strike with pinpoint precision!
It was necessary to cause maximum damage and panic while avoiding being entangled by the steppe cavalry.
"Yanmao Navy!"
Nangong Ye turned his gaze to the naval commander.
"I will be here!"
"Keep a close watch on the seas to prevent any forces from taking advantage of the situation! Support the retreat of Longya and Shangui! If anyone dares to approach the Yanmao waters, sink them without asking for permission!"
“Here!”
Each order was clear and decisive.
The entire command ship turned into an icy war machine, operating efficiently and precisely.
Nangong Yue and Shen Xiaoyun were both excited and frightened as they watched.
This was the real state of war, completely different from the shock of the fireworks show just now, but equally awe-inspiring.
"Uncle Emperor...then we..."
Shen Xiaoyun couldn't help but speak, he also wanted to go with him!
This kind of grand scene may only happen once in a lifetime!
Nangong Ye glanced at him coldly:
"You? Stay in Yanmao and assist your third uncle in handling government affairs and appeasing the Chamber of Commerce. If anything goes wrong, you'll be the only one held accountable when you return!"
Chen Xiaoyun suddenly wilted, like an eggplant hit by frost.
Nangong Ye looked at Dongfang Yuning again, his eyes softened instantly, with a hint of subtle worry:
"Ning'er, you..."
"Of course I'll go with my husband!"
Dongfang Yuning immediately interrupted him, took his arm, and looked at him with a firm look.
"Don't worry, I have Xiao Lingling to protect me. I won't cause any trouble for you. Besides, maybe... I can even give you some technical support?"
She winked playfully.
Commander, Zero is ready! The battlefield scanning system, dynamic map generation, and remote communication support modules have been activated! We'll provide you and your host with comprehensive information support at all times!
AI Zero's electronic voice carries a hint of excitement as he's about to fight.
Nangong Ye knew that he couldn't persuade her, and he also believed in her and the mysterious system's ability to protect themselves. In the end, he sighed helplessly and dotingly:
"Follow me closely and don't leave my sight."
"I know~ My husband is the best!"
Dongfang Yuning immediately smiled like a flower.
The cavalry marches north, ghosts travel at night
Once the order is given, it will be carried out with swift and decisive action.
The huge command ship did not return, but headed directly to the designated rendezvous point.
Not long after, dozens of speedboats quietly docked in a hidden bay north of Yanmao like ghosts.
The Longling heavy cavalry and the Mountain Ghost special forces, who had been assembled here and on standby, boarded the ship quickly and silently like a torrent of steel flowing in the dark night.
There was no passionate pre-war mobilization, no roaring drums, only the low sound of armor rubbing against each other and the occasional suppressed snorts of war horses.
The eyes of every soldier were calm and sharp, like a well-polished blade, ready to drink blood.
Nangong Ye changed into a set of light black armor, which made him look taller and more imposing.
He personally checked the warhorse and equipment, then mounted the horse with smooth and powerful movements.
Dongfang Yuning was firmly protected in front of him, wrapped in a thick fox fur, with only a delicate little face exposed, looking at this silent and terrifying army curiously.
[Host, all members of the Dragon Wing Guard are equipped with the latest generation of composite scale armor, which increases defense by 200% and reduces weight by 30%.
The horseshoes have been specially treated to be silent and non-slip. The Mountain Ghost Battalion is equipped with powerful crossbows, poison-tempered daggers, and climbing grappling hooks.
And the 'Small Area Smoke Bombs' and 'Flash Bombs' (Improved Celebration Supplies) you provided. Gee, the prince has brought out all his wealth!
118 Provide equipment explanation at appropriate times.
[That's right! My husband either doesn't hit me, or he hits me to death!]
Dongfang Yuning was proud of it.
"Set off!"
Nangong Ye's low voice broke the silence of the night.
The fleet quietly left the shore and, under the cover of night, sped north along the coastline.
Their target was not the front battlefield where the main force of the Northern Di gathered, but the relatively empty rear - the core areas of the Vulture Tribe and the Gray Wolf Tribe.
The sea breeze was cold, carrying a salty and faint smell of gunpowder.
Dongfang Yuning leaned on Nangong Ye's solid and warm chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, and feeling the slight vibration from the galloping warhorse. He did not feel much fear, but instead had a strange sense of excitement.
Commander, high-altitude reconnaissance module (simple version) has been connected. Unobstructed fifty miles ahead. Estimated arrival time: two hours.
The Northern Di Vulture Tribe's king's tent is currently brightly lit, seemingly hosting a gathering, and the defenses are relatively lax.
AI Zero provided the first battlefield intelligence.
"Oh, that's perfect, let's eat it all at once."
Nangong Ye sneered and used a special gesture to convey the order to speed up to the rear.
Dance of Death, Lament of the Prairie
Two hours later, the fleet quietly docked at the foot of a steep cliff.
The terrain here is dangerous and rarely visited. It is an excellent landing point that the Mountain Ghost Camp had already scouted.
"Dragon Feather Guards, follow me! Mountain Ghost Camp, disperse according to the plan!"
Nangong Ye gave an order, his voice was very low, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
He took the lead and rode his horse up the cliff along an extremely hidden path.
Behind him, hundreds of Dragon Feather heavy cavalrymen silently flooded onto the grassland like a black tide.
The soldiers of the Mountain Ghost Camp dispersed into the darkness like ghosts and disappeared.
Dongfang Yuning was held tightly in Nangong Ye's arms, feeling the wind whistling in his ears.
She could even use the real-time dynamic map provided by AI Zero, projected directly into her consciousness, to "see" her own troops like two sharp arrows.
One group went straight to the heart of the king's tent, while the other group broke up into small groups and rushed to various important nodes.
[Warning! There are three patrolling sentries three miles ahead.]
Nangong Ye made a gesture almost at the same time, and several cavalrymen were immediately sent out from the flank and rushed out silently. A moment later, several extremely slight muffled sounds were heard in the distance, and then everything returned to silence.
【Mobile Patrol cleared.】
AI zero reporting.
The team continues to advance at high speed!
Finally, the outlines of a large group of tents appeared in the distance, with a huge royal tent decorated with vulture feathers in the center that was particularly eye-catching.
The tent was brightly lit and filled with noise, as if a real party was being held, with no one aware that death had already arrived.
"Dragon Feather Guards! Charge!"
Nangong Ye suddenly drew out the sword from his waist, and the blade drew a cold and chilling light under the cold moon!
"kill!!!"
Like a long-suppressed volcano suddenly erupting! Hundreds of heavy cavalrymen simultaneously let out earth-shaking roars!
The iron hooves shattered the tranquility of the grassland, like rolling thunder, rushing towards the defenseless Vulture Tribe's royal tent!
“Enemy attack!!!”
“It’s the Yanmao people!!”
"Run!"
The Vulture Tribe camp was in chaos in an instant!
The frightened representative who had just escaped from Blackreef Island had not yet finished describing the terrible fireworks before the real Grim Reaper's scythe was already swung over his head!
The drunken warriors frantically searched for weapons, while women and children cried and ran away in all directions!
The Dragon Feather Guards were like a tiger among a flock of sheep, brandishing their sharp sabers and bringing up a rain of blood!
The iron hooves trample on everything, invincible!
Nangong Ye took the lead, and no one could stop him when his sword flashed!
He did not linger in the battle, with a clear goal in mind, he rushed straight to the central royal tent!
At the same time, thick smoke and dazzling light suddenly exploded in various places in the camp!
The Mountain Ghost Camp's celebratory supplies played a role, exacerbating the chaos and panic.
The haystack caught fire for no apparent reason, and the stables were startled and the camp exploded!
AI Zero Live Report: [Mountain Ghost Camp Report: The Canglang Tribe's reinforcements are ten miles away, but are being held back by traps and sniper fire. The Vulture Tribe leader, protected by his personal guards, is attempting a breakout from the west.]
"Want to run?"
Nangong Ye's eyes sharpened.
"Long Ling's left wing, intercept the west side! Ning'er!"
"receive!"
Dongfang Yuning understood and raised his hand.
[Xiao Lingling, give a farewell gift to the leader who wants to escape. It doesn't have to be too loud, just enough.]
AI Zero: [Command confirmed! One micro-stun grenade! Fire!]
“Swoosh—bang!”
An explosion that was not particularly loud but extremely dull sounded on the west side, accompanied by a short scream and exclamation.
“Done!”
Dongfang Yuning clapped his hands.
Nangong Ye didn't even look back at the result. He had absolute confidence in Ning'er's methods.
He reined in his horse and looked at the Vulture Tribe camp, which was already in a sea of fire and chaos. His goal had been achieved.
"Blow the horn! Retreat!"
He gave the order decisively.
When the shrill horn sounded, the Dragon Tooth Guards who were charging did not hesitate and immediately withdrew from the battle, retreating back the way they came like a tide. Their movements were quick and decisive, without any delay.
It comes like thunder and goes like a gust of wind.
All that was left was the Vulture Tribe camp, which was completely destroyed and plunged into endless fear and chaos, and the Canglang Tribe reinforcements, which were held back by the Mountain Ghost Camp in the distance and could only watch in despair.
Nangong Ye hugged his little wife tightly in his arms, led the victorious army, and quickly disappeared into the darkness before dawn.
This precise and fierce "greeting" was like another loud slap in the face of Beidi and all the forces watching secretly.
The prosperity of Yanmao is not only protected by fireworks, but also by iron-blooded thunder!
