It was already night time, and the sky was dark blue.
The glaze-like stars were piled up all over the sky, forming a romantic river of stars in the eastern sky, spreading all the way to the boundless space.
The stars were moving slowly, as if they would all fall into the sea of nothingness after a few years. However, the land was still filled with stars, and there would always be stars from another sky that would come here with the wind of time …
Zhu Minglang was in the middle of the river of stars.
However, a figure flying with a sword made Zhu Minglang completely forget how dazzling the starry sky was. It was as if all the stars were nothing but a foil to her!
Li Yunzi was as beautiful as a fairy, and now that she was flying on her sword, she looked like a fairy that lived in the depths of the Moon Palace …
She was indeed a Divine Mortal.
The sword silk was her Divine Mortal form!
No wonder she had always been called the Valkyrie!
Flying on a sword was different from being a mortal, and even made some dragon shepherds envious!
It was possible to see many dragon shepherds in a city, but Divine Mortals were extremely rare. They couldn't be trained to become one, and most of them were passed down from ancient gods that required a special constitution.
Divine Mortals could surpass the limits of humans, and use supernatural abilities like some ancient and powerful creatures.
Unfortunately, Divine Mortals weren't superior to the truly powerful dragon shepherds.
Some Divine Mortals couldn't even fend off the attacks of Venerable Dragon Shepard's dragons.
Divine Mortals didn't have a spirit domain, so they couldn't raise dragons.
Many black figures appeared in front of them. They were like wild geese heading south in a straight line, flying toward the eastern territory.
Li Yunzi's silver flying sword was obviously faster than the figures flying in the night sky. She stepped on it lightly, and Zhu Minglang's and Li Yunzi's silver flying swords sped up at the same time, catching up to the black figures in front of them.
Flying Bird Battalion. The ones flying in the night sky were the elites of Ancestral Dragon City. They were rushing toward Rong Gu City.
A large group of pseudo-dragons flapped their wings in an orderly fashion, creating a huge airflow that enveloped the entire group of pseudo-dragons. Even if some of the pseudo-dragons were physically exhausted, they could still glide by relying on their wings. This process of gliding would not cause them to leave the group.
The Flying Bird Battalion moved very quickly. It would not take long for them to arrive at Rong Gu City. Judging from the current situation of Rong Gu City, Mayor Zheng Yu should be able to delay the arrival of this battalion.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Some of the Flying Bird soldiers at the back of the formation were surprised when they saw Li Yunzi and Zhu Minglang approaching with swords in hand.
They had heard of Li Yunzi's reputation and had occasionally seen her in the army. However, it was their first time witnessing her flying on a sword like a sword immortal!
"General Lu." Li Yunzi passed through the entire Flying Bird Battalion and stopped the general leading the Flying Bird Battalion.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" General Lu asked in confusion.
"Take half of the soldiers back to Ancestor Dragon City. The other half will follow me to Rong Gu City," said Li Yunzi.
Just as General Lu was about to question her, Li Yunzi tossed a token to the general riding on a winged dragon.
General Lu fell into deep thought after receiving the token. After a while, he returned the token to Li Yunzi and asked, "How's the situation in the west?"
"You'll know once we return to the city. Bring what I want to the frontlines as soon as possible." Li Yunzi did not say anything else to the general.
The Flying Bird Battalion's general bowed and ordered his two deputies to listen to Li Yunzi's orders.
However, the two deputies were very confused.
Half of the Flying Bird Battalion had been sent away. Although the remaining half was powerful and fearless, it would not be easy for them to charge through the tens of thousands of soldiers. It was a little too risky!
Li Yunzi was leading the army. She was still flying on her sword. At this moment, one of the deputy generals whispered something. Li Yunzi turned around and sliced off the deputy general's ear.
The deputy was startled and angry. However, he did not dare to do anything. He could only cover his bleeding ear with his hand.
"Keep your subordinates in check. If anyone dares to talk about this again, it won't just be an ear that's gone!" Li Yunzi was like an iceberg. Her cold and powerful temperament was frightening.
The deputy did not dare to say anything else and retreated. The long line of soldiers behind them also witnessed their commander's ear being sliced off. They all quieted down.
Soon, the entire Flying Bird Battalion maintained their orderly formation and flew toward the east. The atmosphere was no longer as casual as before.
… …
Two huge mountain ranges intersected at the end of Lichuan Plains, separating the Wasteland and Ancestor Dragon City. Eastern Dawn Fortress stood at the eastern foot of the mountain range while Rong Gu City was to the west. They were only fifty miles apart.
It was unrealistic to cross the mountain range. The mountain walls were steep and inconvenient for marching. If they wanted to enter Lichuan Plains, they would have to pass through Rong Gu City.
However, even the tall stone walls of the fortress could not stop the tens of thousands of rioting soldiers. How long could this small Rong Gu City last?
The rioting army was endless. At this moment, they were stuck between Eastern Dawn Fortress and Rong Gu City. They were like a group of hungry beasts. Once the mountain flood receded from the lake, they would vent all their anger on the residents of Rong Gu City. It was not an exaggeration to say that they would drink blood and eat meat.
The Flying Bird Battalion hovered in the sky. They felt that the situation in front of them was inconceivable.
The massive army of rioters was entrenched outside the valley. Even these brave soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles felt a little fearful. However, that fragile ancient city was still standing.
The rioting army was resisting stubbornly. There were no tall walls or elite soldiers. The only thing they could rely on was the lake and the one thousand archers who occupied the high ground.
If they did not see it with their own eyes, they would not believe that Rong Gu City could stop the rioting army and delay the arrival of the reinforcements.
"Miracle!"
"The Heavens have blessed our Ancestral Dragon City. As expected, these pariahs abandoned by the gods have no right to set foot in the Lichuan Plain!" said the lieutenant whose ear had stopped bleeding.
"Your Highness, I will lead a hundred men and attack from the sky above the lake. We will eliminate the rioting rioters first," another lieutenant with long eyebrows requested.
The Flying Bird Drake was a ferocious beast to the ordinary soldiers. Many of them were still lingering in the narrow path. If they swooped down and attacked, it would be as easy as an eagle hunting down a chick.
"I will make up for my mistakes. I will lead the army to kill the enemy head-on!" said the lieutenant with half an ear.
Li Yunzi was not in a hurry to give the order. She stood on her silver flying sword and observed the situation.
"Your Highness, please give the order as soon as possible. The lake is about to lose its water. When the rioting army breaks into Rong Gu City, we won't be able to protect everyone no matter how fast we kill them," said the lieutenant with long eyebrows.
"Wait for orders in the sky," said Li Yunzi.
"They are going to cross the lake soon!"
"Wait for orders!" Li Yunzi repeated.
The two lieutenants were anxious, but they could only bow respectfully.
"Ming Lang, go to Rong Gu City and calm the people," said Li Yunzi to Zhu Minglang.
"I actually …" Zhu Minglang wanted to say something, but the silver flying sword under his feet suddenly accelerated and flew straight to Rong Gu City.
On the city tower of Rong Gu City, City Lord Zheng Yu's mouth was wide open as he watched Zhu Minglang being forced to fly on his sword. He watched as Zhu Minglang swayed and jumped off the flying sword.
"Brother … Brother Zhu??" Zheng Yu quickly walked up. After confirming that this person was the student from the Dragon Tamer Academy, his tired face showed a joyful expression. "Brother Zhu actually brought reinforcements. I thank you on behalf of all the people of Ronggu City!"
Zheng Yu bowed meticulously. This made Zhu Minglang feel a little ashamed and he quickly helped Zheng Yu up.
"You are the one who protected the people of Rong Gu City. I am only an informant, a bystander, "Zhu Minglang said.
"Flying on a sword? Is that Her Highness?" asked Zheng Yu.
"Yes."
"Brother Zhu, are you familiar with Her Highness?" asked Zheng Yu.
"Uh, a little." Zhu Minglang felt that this question was a little sharp.
"The Flying Bird Battalion appeared in the east. This is bad!" Zheng Yu was not happy about the arrival of reinforcements. Instead, he let out a long sigh.
"Why?" Zhu Minglang did not understand Zheng Yu's concern.
"I am still stupid. I neglected the current situation of Zulong City-State. When the eastern fortress is breached, Lingxiao City-State will launch a large-scale attack on our western territory. Now that Zulong City-State's elite Flying Bird Battalion has come to the east to quell the chaos, I'm afraid that all the cities in the west will be conquered. We managed to defend Rong Gu City, but we lost the overall situation! "Zheng Yu was full of self-blame.
The people of Rong Gu City were people, and so were the people of the Four Western Cities. Given the brutality of Lingxiao City-State, they would not show any mercy to the people of the Western Cities!
Zhu Minglang did not know much about Zulong City-State's situation, but after hearing Zheng Yu's analysis, he immediately understood Luo Xiao's actions.
Luo Xiao had most likely colluded with Lingxiao City-State. Once the fortress was breached, he immediately informed Lingxiao City-State and then intercepted all the messengers, delaying Zulong City-State's battle report. He wanted Zulong City-State to be on the verge of collapse!
What a vicious heart!!
"Even if it doesn't help, I still have to trouble Her Highness," said Zheng Yu.
"Brother Zheng, don't worry. Lingxiao City-State must have suffered a setback when they fought with us. The enemy general was captured. When I left the meeting hall, the envoy of Lingxiao City-State was kneeling and writing a cession agreement. Her Highness had personally filled in the names of the cities she wanted," said Zhu Minglang.
"Really?" Zheng Yu was surprised.
"Really."
