The sky was turning white, and the Ling Family Village was gradually brightening up under the sunlight. Suddenly, a terrifying whistling sound came from the sky.
And the sound was getting louder and louder.
Ling Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. He looked at the sky and saw a large group of War Eagles flying towards them from afar.
On top of the War Eagle, there were soldiers in armor.
"The Chen Kingdom's War Eagle Army?"
Ling Xiao had heard about the War Eagle Army. Ever since Marquis Ling died in battle, the Chen Kingdom had been invaded by the Volcano Kingdom and lost a large part of its territory.
Until a person appeared out of nowhere.
This person was the Chen Kingdom's Seventh Prince, Chen Cangmang. He was known as the War Eagle Divine General!
He had forcefully taken back the territory that the Volcano Nation had taken away piece by piece, establishing an unparalleled military merit.
However, although Chen Cangmang was powerful, he was too straightforward and had a very close relationship with Marquis Ling.
It was said that when he was young, Marquis Ling had saved his life.
He and Ling Yan had been through life and death together.
Therefore, he had written many petitions, hoping that the King of Chen would reopen the Ling Family's rebellion case.
Because of this, he was hated by the King of Chen. Although he had made great contributions, he was still an unfavored prince. He was not even a one-star prince.
Could it be Chen Cangmang?
Ling Xiao looked at Yue Fanghua and said, "Fanghua, you and the villagers should hide behind me. If it's an enemy, you should leave first. I will hold them back.
If it's a friend, that would be best. "
Yue Fanghua wanted to say, "What right do you have to order me around?"
But when the words reached her mouth, they turned into an "Mm."
She did not know why she was so obedient to this young man. It was not like her at all.
"That's ridiculous."
Yue Fanghua shook her head but still did as Ling Xiao said.
The war eagles finally landed.
On the majestic war eagles, there were soldiers in black armor. They looked very valiant.
The leader was a golden war eagle.
On top of the War Eagle was a handsome young man who looked to be less than 20 years old.
However, the aura he released made even Ling Xiao feel fear.
"This bastard is probably even stronger than Chen Cangmang!"
This was Ling Xiao's first thought.
The man jumped off the warhawk and looked at the mess on the ground.
He suddenly asked, "Did you kill him?"
His voice was indifferent and emotionless. No one could guess why he asked this.
"That's right!"
Ling Xiao replied calmly.
"Well done! You're a beast in human clothing! Everyone has the right to punish you! "
The young man suddenly said loudly, "My name is Chen Cangmang. Fellow villagers, do not panic. Marquis Ling had saved this King's life in the past. This King will definitely not watch as his descendant dies tragically!"
It was indeed Chen Cangmang!
Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
If there was anyone in the Chen royal family who dared to sympathize with the Ling family, or even openly help them, it would be Chen Cangmang.
Hearing Chen Cangmang's name, everyone in the Ling Family Village seemed to be overjoyed.
That was a true sense of relief.
Although they had spent many years in this valley, they were not completely unaware of what had happened outside.
They knew what Chen Cangmang had done, and they were very grateful.
For their sake, this prince had gone against the King of Chen. He had repeatedly performed meritorious deeds, but had never received a single reward.
He could not even return to the capital, and could only constantly fight outside.
When he was injured, he did not receive a word of concern from the King of Chen.
Even his own mother had been neglected by the King of Chen because of him. She had originally been a noble consort, but had been demoted to a virtuous consort, and then a concubine.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace would not even look at his mother properly.
Even so, the mother and son had not forgotten the kindness the Ling family had shown them.
They were still the only royal family in the Chen Kingdom who dared to trust the Ling family.
"If you're here to protect them, you're too late!"
Ling Xiao said coldly.
If he had not accidentally met the Moon Maiden and come here, all the villagers would have been taken away by the Arcana Academy.
Thus, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with this Chen Cangmang.
"Yes, I'm too late."
He looked at the corpses of the villagers on the ground, and at the tragic appearance of the humiliated woman after committing suicide.
True sorrow appeared in Chen Cangmang's eyes.
He knelt on one knee and hugged the pitiful woman, unable to calm down for a long time.
Behind him, the hundreds of soldiers of the War Eagle Army turned over and knelt on one knee behind him, grieving for their prince.
They grieved for the people of the Ling family.
"This Chen Cangmang is indeed very good at commanding an army. These people look at him not only with loyalty, but also with brotherly love.
No wonder he's called the Warhawk Divine General. No wonder he's invincible! "
Although Ling Xiao was a little resentful of Chen Cangmang, he had to admit that he was an outstanding person.
In particular, his desire to repay the Ling family's kindness shocked him.
Ordinary people simply couldn't do this to this extent.
Even if they sympathized with the Ling family, they would bury it in their hearts and not show it.
But this person was different. Not only did he show it, he showed it very clearly.
Rather break than bend. Perhaps this kind of hero was best described.
"Pass down my orders. Bury the souls of the deceased and throw the corpses into the forest to feed the wild beasts!"
Chen Cangmang gently placed the girl's body on the ground and covered her body with his cloak.
If this action had been done by Jihyun Of Silla or Chen Canglan, it would have been full of hypocrisy and pretentiousness.
But Chen Cangmang's action was so natural, without the slightest hint of pretense or hypocrisy.
Because he was that kind of person. He had always done that.
This person really was not scheming.
"Yes, sir!"
The Warhawk Army obeyed orders and was strictly disciplined. It would not be an exaggeration to call them an iron army.
They all began to move.
Chen Cangmang looked back at Ling Xiao and said, "Young hero, I'm afraid this place is no longer a secret.
I reckon that there will be people coming to encircle and annihilate them soon. So, young hero, you should leave first.
I will arrange for the people of the Ling family to go to a safe place. "
"To where?"
Although Ling Xiao admired Chen Cangmang, it did not mean that he trusted him.
Ling Xiao would always be suspicious of anyone. After all, this was the first time they had met.
He did not want the people of the Ling family to enter the tiger's den because of his carelessness.
"I have a fief. It's a county city. They should be able to live well there."
Chen Cangmang was stunned. Although he felt that there was no need to tell Ling Xiao about this, he still said it.
Perhaps it was out of gratitude to Ling Xiao for saving the Ling family.
"Your Highness is on good terms with the Ling family. There must be countless eyes watching you. If they follow you, I'm afraid that not only will they die, but Your Highness will also be implicated.
I do have a good place to go. "
Ling Xiao said.
Chen Cangmang also knew that Ling Xiao was not lying. But because there was no better place to go, he had to do this.
