Early in the morning, the sun shone like strands of golden ribbons in the forest. The warhorses moved slowly under the mottled shadows of the trees. Lin Muyu held the reins in one hand and the sword on his waist with the other. The imperial commander's armor was shining under the morning light. The three six-pointed stars on his collar were even more dazzling. He squinted his eyes lazily and followed the large group of people. Suddenly, he asked, "How far are we from Fiery Moon City?"
"One hundred miles. If we rush at full speed, we can reach it in two hours." Wei Chou said solemnly.
"No need to rush. Just walk slowly and let the soldiers maintain their strength."
Lin Muyu slowly exhaled. A wisp of turbid dou qi was exhaled along with this breath. This was the effect of training the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll. Training over and over again could make his dou qi even purer. It was far from what ordinary practitioners could compare with. Looking at the distant forest, Lin Muyu said faintly, "Wei Chou, send out scouts and scouting birds. You must grasp every movement within a hundred mile radius. After all, this is the territory of the Yihe Nation's traitors and not our own territory."
"Yes, commander. Don't worry. This subordinate has made arrangements."
"That's good."
The corner of Lin Muyu's mouth raised. She said, "Don't be in a hurry to attack after we reach Fiery Moon City. First assemble the arrow boxes and use them to shoot for a while. Then, send out the spear wielding cavalry to fight. This will minimize our losses against the armor demons."
"Yes, this subordinate will immediately pass on the order!"
"Yes."
On the side, Qin Yan licked his lips. The dou qi in his body revolved and his fighting spirit was extremely high. "We can fight against those dirty cockroaches again. Big Brother, this time, no matter what, you must let me charge at the front lines. You cannot let a dozen personal guards watch over me. I am a champion. If I don't charge and break through enemy lines, what use is there for me in the Longdan Army Camp?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu glanced at him and said with a smile, "However, Ah Yan, you must be careful. After all, there is not much of the Qin bloodline left. You are a true descendant of the family. Nothing must happen to you."
"Big Brother, don't worry. I know!"
Qin Yan held the long spear that was circulating with light, his gaze looking in the direction of the Fiery Moon City in the distance, and said, "Elder Brother died for the country, and Father also died together with His Majesty the late Emperor at the Fairy Lake. Although Qin Yan is a little prince, I will also contribute to the empire, and use my military merits to exchange for Her Highness Qin Yin's reward for me. Elder Brother, what do you think?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded and did not say anything else.
…
Qin Yan's fingers were like claws as he grabbed the back of this person's head and threw him off the horse. Immediately, Wei Chou, Fengxi, and the other generals of the Longdan Army Camp surrounded him.
I didn't do anything. I've never surrendered to Yihe Country … Ah no, I've never surrendered to the country established by Qin Yi, that bastard. Please believe me, I'm just an insignificant hunter … "He was so scared that his face turned pale. As soon as he landed, he knelt down and begged for mercy in front of Lin Muyu, who was wearing a commander's armor.
"It's okay. Stand up first."
Lin Muyu raised her hand, and a Saint realm cyclone slowly rose up, lifting the man up from the ground. She then looked at him with a gentle smile, "Brother Hunter, have you been to Fire Moon City?"
"I … I have …" The hunter's face was still very ugly, but it was much better than before.
Lin Muyu continued, "I'm the commander of the Longdan Army Camp under the command of Her Highness the Empress of the Qin Empire. My name is Lin Muyu. This time, I led the army to defeat the Devil Race's defending army at the north of the mountain ridge. Therefore, I plan to kill my way to the south of the mountain ridge and take back the cities that were occupied by the Devil Race. I want to ask you, what's the situation in Fire Moon City now? Do you know? "
"I … I …"
The hunter shuddered and said, "I'm just a hunter. I … hunted some badgers and wild hares. They were all sent to Fire Moon City to be sold for copper coins. Those Devil Race …"
"Did the Devil Race buy food from human hunters?" Lin Muyu asked in surprise.
The hunter shook his head, "No, those Devil Race known as' Armor Demons' never buy food. They only know how to rob. I sell my prey to the craftsmen that stayed in the city."
"Craftsmen?" Lin Muyu was stunned, "What's the situation?"
The hunter said, "I don't know either. I only know that it seems that the nobles in the Devil Race gave an order that every time they pillaged a city of Yihe Country, they can't start a massacre. They must capture all the stonemasons, blacksmiths, bow makers, carpenters, and doctors, lock them together, and then send them to the Devil Race's territory. However, a few days ago, more than half of the thousands of Devil Race soldiers stationed in Fire Moon City left, and they didn't have time to take these craftsmen away. Therefore, these craftsmen have been living in the city, although they are locked in the city and can't leave."
"How many craftsmen are there in total?" Lin Muyu asked.
"About … twenty thousand people. Originally, Fiery Moon City had a population of one hundred and fifty thousand. Alas … only twenty thousand people were left after being slaughtered by the Devil Clan. Those damn beasts didn't even let off women and children."
"So that's how it is. I got it."
Lin Muyu fished out five Jinyin coins and tossed them to him. "Brother Hunter, we're going to attack Firesmoon City. Swords have no eyes, so don't return to Firesmoon City. Take this money and hide in the mountains for a while. You can return to Firesmoon City when the battle is over."
"Okay …"
The hunter's hands trembled. He raised his head and looked at Lin Muyu, saying, "Madam, you … will you really kill the Devil Race and avenge our relatives who were killed?"
"I will." Lin Muyu raised her head and looked into the distance, saying lightly, "We are soldiers of the Qin Empire. Protecting the empire's territory is our duty. Go quickly."
"Yes …"
The hunter turned around and left. He didn't even dare to look back, as if he was afraid that Qin Yan would go and capture him again.
"Big Brother, the situation has been confirmed. Shall we go?" Qin Yan said.
"Yes, let's go."
…
At noon, a small city with a red city wall appeared in the mountains. All the villages and towns near and far had been looted by the Devil Race. It was hard to see living people, not even corpses. Armor Demons fed on humans. Although it was cruel, it seemed to be a natural advantage for them. At least it was an advantage in times of war.
Looking from afar, many Armor Demons were walking on the city wall. They seemed to have found the traces of the Longdan Army Camp. They all roared at the foot of the city wall. The city gate was also opened. Many Armor Demons began to gather at the foot of the city wall. It seemed that they were ready to fight. There were less than 500 Armor Demons in this group. Additionally, no advanced demon was giving orders here. They were just a bunch of idiots defending the city, which saved a lot of trouble.
When they were about 1.5 miles away from the city wall, the 5,000 cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp stopped quickly. Under the order of Wei Chou, they started to assemble the arrow boxes. Then, a group of people pushed the arrow boxes forward. They brought 50 arrow boxes in total. The heavy arrow boxes rolled over the grassland at the foot of the city wall. The black exit of the arrow boxes pointed straight at the Armor Demons in the distance.
"Keep approaching and wait for them to charge." Lin Muyu put her hand on the hilt of her sword and said lightly with a smile.
They moved forward slowly. When they were less than 500 meters away from the Armor Demons, they finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Howl!"
The roar seemed to shake the air. It was deafening. The next moment, the Armor Demons raised their weapons and rushed over crazily without any formation. They only had the instinct to kill. However, this was also the foundation of their powerful fighting force.
"Ready, launch!" Wei Chou roared when they were less than 100 meters away from the Armor Demons.
With the constant sound of springs, pitch-black steel arrows pierced through the bodies of the Armor Demons one after another. Blood splashed in all directions. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Armor Demons in the front row had been killed.
The charging speed was too fast. Lin Muyu unsheathed her Dragon-Spirit Sword without any hesitation as she shouted, "Cavalrymen with Conical Shields and Spears, go!"
A group of heavy cavalrymen of the Courage Dragon Battalion with awl shields launched attacks one after another. Of course, their power was extraordinary. "Bang Bang Bang", after the awl shields blocked the assassination of the Armor Demon, the white diamond weapons immediately pierced through the Armor Demon's heart. This group of cavalrymen with awl shields and spears were all experts with profound cultivation bases. Now that they had formed a battle formation, their battle strength was naturally amazing.
Lin Muyu rushed to the front of the crowd. She gently raised her palm and Three Glorious Calamity whizzed out, smashing more than a dozen Armor Demons into pieces. She raised her long sword and with a "crack", an Armor Demon's head flew into the sky. The Armor Demon died so fast that the mucus in its mouth was even splashing in the air, making it look ferocious and funny.
As the Cavalrymen with Conical Shields and Spears swept past, Lin Muyu also quickly used the Third Glorious Energy for four times. She felt a burst of discomfort in her body. After all, the backfire of the Seven Glorious Energy was very terrible, so she didn't use it anymore. Instead, she used the Pear Blossom Spear to kill the last few Armor Demons. When she looked back, only a few of the 500 Armor Demons were left. This time, the loss of the Longdan Army Camp was negligible.
…
"Roar …"
On the city wall, an Armor Demon whizzed down and chopped at Lin Muyu's neck with the battle-ax in his hand.
"Be careful, Milord!"
Wei Chou reacted quickly. He raised his hand and shot an arrow through the Armor Demon's neck, killing it on the spot.
Lin Muyu raised her palm. The True Dragon Original Fire surged and directly burned the Armor Demon into ashes. The golden gourd wall rose and swept away the ashes of the Armor Demon's corpse.
…
"Enter the city!"
Wei Chou held the longbow and looked around. His face was a bit more complacent.
Although there were only 500 Armor Demons, in the whole world, only the Longdan Army Camp could kill 500 Armor Demons without any loss.
