Fang Dongming was slightly stunned.
Zhang Rong said, "If you knew, you would feel that it was better to be defeated by me …"
"…" Fang Dongming was speechless.
It was hard to imagine what kind of person he had lost to. He would feel that it was better to be defeated by a mining general …
Zhang Rong was right. He did not look down on Chu Mo at all. Even now, he was almost worshipping Chu Mo like a god!
It was Chu Mo's idea that the two ventilation passages were not completely blocked.
Chu Mo had said, "We have to send some captives to His Majesty … Otherwise, all the military merits will just be a string of cold numbers."
Zhang Rong knew very well that Chu Mo was thinking for the sake of the mining corps. There were facts, evidence, captives … When everything was put together, once the news of the battle in the Broken Sky Mountains spread, the mining corps would become famous all over the world!
The reason why Zhang Rong told Fang Dongming was that he would not be able to accept the truth.
It was because of Chu Mo's age and his lack of military experience!
In terms of rank, Chu Mo was not even a squad leader!
He was just a special envoy sent by the emperor and the marshal. That's right, a 14-year-old special envoy.
If Fang Dongming knew now, he would be so ashamed that he would want to commit suicide.
In the end, all of them, including Fang Dongming, were brought to the military camp He Xu had set up.
The dust had settled on the entire Broken Sky Mountains.
Early in the morning, the sun rose. Sunlight shone through the dense forest, forming mottled spots of light on the ground.
There was some movement in the ventilation passage that had been completely filled up.
However, they probably did not expect that a large number of huge rocks were piled up on top, like a stone mountain, pressing down on the passage.
Boom!
Boom!
A series of muffled sounds came from below.
It was obvious that someone was trying hard to blast away the rocks above.
Finally, a crack appeared on the stone mountain. An extremely disheveled figure emerged from the crack.
Following that, seven or eight more figures followed closely behind.
There were more than 20 people who stayed behind with Jiang Qiuyang!
These 20 people were all in the Iron Bone realm. As the Third Prince's bodyguards, they would never go too far away. It was the same this time.
After these twenty or so people came out, they stood guard for a while before saying to the people inside, "Your Highness, come out."
A bare-chested young man with a bow on his back walked out. His hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in dirt. He looked extremely pathetic.
After coming out, Jiang Qiuyang raised his head and looked up at the sky along the forest. Tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.
"Your Highness … Fang Dongming surrendered … That coward! He actually surrendered to Da Xia! "A guard said angrily.
Jiang Qiuyang heaved a long sigh. Then, he said faintly, "Surrender … So be it. It doesn't matter if we die in battle or surrender … There won't be any mention of us in the history of the Da Qi. Originally … we came here in secret. Now that we've all died in the belly of the mountain, then … it's as if we've never appeared! "
"Da Xia won't let go of this opportunity to attack us," someone said.
Jiang Qiuyang said in a daze, "Whatever …"
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" A guard looked at Jiang Qiuyang worriedly.
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Qiuyang's face. "Rest … After we've rested, we'll enter Da Xia!"
"Ah?" The guard was obviously startled. He looked at Jiang Qiuyang and said, "But Your Highness … there are only twenty or so of us … What can we do?"
Jiang Qiuyang said faintly, "Our million soldiers are gone. Do you think … Da Xia will let go of this opportunity?"
"No …" A guard mumbled, "They'll definitely march straight in …"
"Like a hot knife through butter …" Another guard said.
"We … might …" The third guard mumbled. He couldn't continue as tears streamed down his face.
Jiang Qiuyang nodded. "Yes, our country might perish … Even if it doesn't perish, at least … we'll lose a large portion of our territory."
Everyone was silent as they looked at Jiang Qiuyang.
"And we … are the biggest sinners!" Jiang Qiuyang said, "If we hadn't lost this million soldiers and fought with Da Xia head-on on the battlefield … Then, the outcome would have been fifty-fifty. But now … we have no chance at all. "
Boohoo …
Someone finally couldn't help but cry.
The pressure of the word 'sinner' was heavier than a mountain. It was so heavy that they had the urge to die.
"Don't cry …" Jiang Qiuyang said softly, "We still have some strength! At least … we can … easily slaughter all the villages, towns, and small cities we encounter … Even if we can't kill a million lives, at least … we can atone for our sins! At least … we can atone for our sins! "
"Kill civilians?" A hesitant look appeared on a guard's face as he mumbled, "That's something only the devil would do …"
Jiang Qiuyang sneered and said, "Aren't soldiers born as civilians? Isn't it the devil's method for them to trap and kill our million soldiers? "
"Alright, Your Highness, we'll do as you say … We'll do as you say!" A guard's eyes turned red as tears flowed down his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we'll be cursed by countless people … at least … we can give Da Xia the most ruthless revenge!"
"That's right … The people we have are enough to slaughter all the villages and towns we encounter! Even if we die of exhaustion … we'll kill a million Da Xia people! "
"Your Highness, we'll follow you!"
A sinister smile appeared on Jiang Qiuyang's battered face.
Whoosh!
At this moment … an arrow suddenly shot towards Jiang Qiuyang's face.
The speed was unbelievably fast!
Jiang Qiuyang's pupils dilated in an instant as his eyes revealed an incomparable shock.
Poof!
This arrow directly pierced through the space between Jiang Qiuyang's eyebrows and came out from the back of his head. The sinister smile remained on Jiang Qiuyang's face, but his eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.
Before Jiang Qiuyang died, he recognized that this arrow … was his Blue Jade Arrow!
The one that was lost in the grassland.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the arrow would appear here and pierce through the forehead of an expert archer like him.
Was this retribution?
Jiang Qiuyang no longer had the ability to think about this question. His body, fell to the ground with a loud crash.
He died on the spot!
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness is under attack!"
"Your Highness …"
These more than 20 people all rushed towards the direction where the arrow was shot from as if they had gone mad.
Whoosh!
An incomparably bright ray of light came across the sky.
That was a ray of saber light!
In an instant, the light that erupted even overshadowed the light of the sun.
On the spot, more than 10 heads flew high up into the sky, and blood splattered everywhere.
Following that, a figure directly rushed in, and with lightning speed, directly killed these more than 20 Iron Bone realm martial artists on the spot!
Finally, Chu Mo walked to Jiang Qiuyang, who was already dead on the ground but died with his eyes wide open, and said lightly, "Your arrow, I'll return it to you!"
