Early in the morning, the morning mist lingered in the Demon Race's Headquarters in the Endless Forest. The distant building was simple and unadorned, but it also seemed like a holy object enshrouded in Immortal Qi. When Lin Muyu pushed open the door, two young girls of the Fox clan were holding a basin of clean water outside. They respectfully said, "Milord, we have come to help Your Highness get up and change your clothes."
Lin Muyu nodded. "Go in."
Tang Xiaoxi washed up while Lin Muyu leaned against the railing and looked at the scene in the distance. A group of youths of the Fox clan were urging their warhorses to gallop on the drill ground. They were training cavalry tactics such as stabbing, hacking, and encirclement. It seemed that after their failure decades ago, the Demon Race seemed to be looking for tactics to deal with the heavy cavalry of the humans.
On the side, Saintess Linghu Yan was sitting on the stone platform under the railing. She said with a smile, "Young General, how are the light cavalry of our Fox clan?"
"Average."
Lin Muyu rubbed his nose. He was not lying. The skills and riding skills of these youths of the Fox clan were indeed very immature compared to those of the Imperial Army, Forbidden Army, and Longdan Army Camp. Their understanding of cavalry tactics was only superficial. However, he still narrowed his eyes and said, "But the warhorses of the Fox clan are indeed of excellent quality. Their speed and charging power are both considered top notch."
"Young General has good eyesight!"
Linghu Yan said with a smile, "The warhorses of our Fox clan are all wild horses captured from the grasslands to the northwest of the Endless Forest. They are naturally wild, and in terms of leg strength and endurance, they are definitely much better than the warhorses of the Central Plains. Hee hee, why don't … Linghu Yan make the decision on her own and gift the young general a warhorse?"
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu's eyes lit up. In this world, a warhorse was equivalent to a carriage, signifying a person's mobility. Naturally, Lin Muyu was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Can I really?"
Linghu Yan burst into laughter, covering her small mouth as she said, "Young General is Princess Xi's closest relative, and also the person who resolved the conflict between the Demon Clan and the humans. If it weren't for Young General, our Demon Clan's Rebirth Pool would not have been filled with Divine Power again. You are the benefactor of our Demon Clan, so a warhorse is naturally nothing. Linghu Yan has already ordered servants to bring the two best horses in the Forest of Infinity over. You and Princess Xi will each have one.
What do you think? "" Good, very good … "Lin Muyu nodded and said with a smile.
At this moment, Tang Xiaoxi walked out of the door dressed in luxurious clothes. This was the beautiful embroidery unique to the Empire's Lanyan City, and together with the fire fox emblem of Qihai City, it was very beautiful. What was even rarer was that the fire fox family emblem of Qihai City was actually similar to the emblem of the Fox clan in the Endless Forest. This caused Linghu Yan to stare dumbfounded. She bowed and said, "Servant Linghu greets Princess Xi … Wow, Your Highness's clothes are so beautiful. The craftsmanship of the humans is truly wonderful!"
Tang Xiaoxi chuckled and said, "Linghu, if you want it, I will customize a set according to your figure when I return to the imperial capital and send someone to deliver it to you. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Princess Xi!" Linghu Yan smiled and thanked her with a red face. It seemed that although she was the supreme ruler of the Fox clan, she was still a young girl of the Fox clan after all, so she yearned for beautiful things just like human girls.
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and asked, "What were you talking about just now? I heard that you were going to give me a gift."
"Yes." Linghu Yan nodded and said, "Young General has high praise for our Fox clan's warhorses, so this servant has decided to choose the two best warhorses of the Fox clan to gift to Young General and Princess Xi. Here, they are already here. Come with me to take a look!"
"Okay."
As they walked down the pavilion, two sturdy Fox clan soldiers led the warhorses over. One was white and the other was black. The white one was a mare, and the black one was a stallion. Linghu Yan smiled and said, "These are two warhorses that I tamed two years ago. The white one is called 'Snow Pear', and the black one is called 'Danger Ground'. I named them myself, but if Princess Xi and Young General are not satisfied with them, you can rename them."
Lin Muyu chuckled and said, "I'm satisfied, how could I not be satisfied? Xiao Xi, with your personality, you must want Snow Pear, right? "
Tang Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yes, Mu wants Danger Ground. Danger Ground is more robust and suits you better."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu walked forward and caressed Danger Ground's face. She subconsciously used the Spirit Pulse Technique and the beast taming power of the Spirit Communication Technique slowly seeped into the warhorse's brain. They instantly formed a preliminary contract. Danger Ground raised its head and neighed. It then walked forward and rubbed its head against Lin Muyu's arm.
The Fox clan soldier leading the horse was stunned and said, "Heavens!"
"What is it?"
"Although Danger Ground has been tamed into a warhorse, no one has ever been able to tame it. Even the most outstanding warrior of the Fox clan cannot ride Danger Ground. But now, it …"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "It means that it is fated with me, haha …"
As she spoke, she pulled on the reins and flipped onto the horse. Danger Ground was instantly excited and suddenly stood up with a long neigh. Under Lin Muyu's scolding, it galloped away at an astonishing speed. It turned back in the blink of an eye and brought with it the wind.
Tang Xiaoxi giggled and said, "Mu, do you like it?"
"I like it!"
Lin Muyu praised from the bottom of her heart, "I have never ridden such a good horse in my life …"
Linghu Yan was also extremely happy and said, "It's great that the Young General likes it. Your Highness Xi, this snow pear has a gentle temperament, but its speed is not slow either. Do you want to try it?"
"There's no need!"
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and walked forward. After flipping onto the horse, she said, "Since the matter with the Fox clan has been settled, I should return to the Demon Suppression Pass. Linghu Yan, you must guard the Endless Forest well and truly control the entire Demon Clan. At the very least, you can't let those snake people and bear people recklessly attack humans or even eat them."
Linghu Yan nodded respectfully and said, "En, this servant understands. Your Highness Xi, please rest assured."
"That's good. We will return."
"Yes, this servant will escort Your Highness back!"
… …
In the early morning, after a simple breakfast, the Fox clan sent out a total of 300 guards to escort Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi back to the Demon Suppression Pass. They really did not have any more troops because the main force of the Fox clan had all been captured and imprisoned in the camp of the Demon Suppression Pass along with tens of thousands of deer demons.
After Lin Muyu used the power of the Conquest Chapter to communicate with the warhorse, she did not need to lead the horse at all. She could control the warhorse's movements with just her consciousness. This greatly improved her horsemanship skills. She knew what kind of speed she could achieve in a dangerous situation, so she could fight on the horse without any distractions.
After leaving the Fox clan's canyon, the corpses of the human soldiers on both sides of the road had already been cleaned and buried. It was probably the work of the human army led by Tang Zhen. However, there were still some snake people, lizardmen, and other Demon Clans that harbored evil intentions on both sides of the road. Their eyes did not show any signs of humanity, only their desire and greed for food.
"Hiss, hiss …"
A snake person stared at Lin Muyu, and the long halberd in his hand also seemed to be ready to attack.
Lin Muyu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes were filled with a strong killing intent, and the snake person actually understood her gaze. Suddenly, the snake person was so frightened that he let go of the hand holding the long halberd. With a "ding", the long halberd fell to the ground. He curled up his body and bent down in the direction of Lin Muyu, as if he was submitting to her. This was the law of nature — the survival of the fittest. The powerful aura that Lin Muyu exuded was enough to intimidate this snake person.
However, after walking for a short distance, Lin Muyu's Spiritual Pulse Technique suddenly appeared in the dense aura of experts. Many of them were in the Human Realm and Earth Realm. They were all in the forest on the side, less than 500 meters away from each other!
"Xiao Xi, Linghu, you two go first. I suddenly have to go to the forest over there to solve the problem …" Lin Muyu pretended to be embarrassed.
Linghu Yan chuckled. "Young General is really interesting!"
Tang Xiaoxi was a little speechless. "Mu, sometimes I really don't know what to say about you. I told you to drink less soup in the morning, but you just can't help it."
"That's because the Fox Clan's soup is so delicious. Okay, I'm going. I'll catch up with you in a while."
"Okay!"
…
Lin Muyu pulled the reins, and Danger Ground flew out like a wisp of smoke, galloping into the forest in the blink of an eye. As expected, a group of Seven Seas City soldiers were squatting there with bows and spears in their hands. There were even many people holding shields and leading warhorses. There were at least 10,000 people, and they looked like they were ready to attack at any time.
"Who are you?!" A chiliarch shouted in a low voice.
Lin Muyu spurred her horse into a cauliflower field, and her face was livid. "Are you crazy? What do you want to do?!"
"It's young general …"
The group of soldiers saluted respectfully. "Greetings, young general!"
In the crowd, Tang Zhen held a steel saber and looked at Lin Muyu with a pale face. "Young general, how … how did you find out we were lying in ambush here?"
"You don't need to know that. I only have one question. What do you want to do here? Tang Zhen, answer me. "Lin Muyu said coldly.
Tang Zhen saluted with some apprehension, but he couldn't hide the hatred on his face. "Young general, our … our Seven Seas City's army of 70,000 died in this barren land. They were all the sons of our children's fathers and mothers, and they died in battle here just like that … When we came here to collect the corpses, we found that many of their corpses were incomplete. They … they were actually eaten by those Nagas as food. Young general … if we don't take revenge for this, we're not human!"
"Tang Zhen!"
Lin Muyu said sternly. "Are you trying to put me and Princess Xi in an inhumane and unjust situation? We've just negotiated peace with the Demon Race, and you want to start another war. Can you bear this responsibility? "
Tang Zhen was also an unyielding man. He raised his steel saber and said, "Young general, I will bear the consequences of my own actions. The 10,000 soldiers of Seven Seas City behind me are willing to fight for hatred. Even if we all die here, at least we have a clear conscience! If the demonic beasts are not eliminated, there will be no true peace in the world! "
Lin Muyu gritted her teeth. "Fine, now Tang Xiaoxi is in their hands. If you launch a surprise attack, Tang Xiaoxi will definitely die. You killed Tang Xiaoxi for hatred. Is this your clear conscience?!"
"I …" Tang Zhen was speechless.
Lin Muyu dismounted and reached out to pat Tang Zhen's shoulder. "Brother, I also hate. I also hate the cruelty of these Nagas. I also hate that so many imperial soldiers died in vain. But this is the price of war. Give up. Follow me back to Demon Subduing Pass. Cancel this surprise attack. This is my military order as the commander of the frontline army."
Tang Zhen lowered his gaze. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, your subordinate obeys! Brothers, retreat … "
