Xing Jue City was rich and there were many houses which had not been burned down by the Demon Race. Hence, the five thousand people in the Longdan Army Camp were resting in the Divine Palace, the Spiritual Medicine Department, the Ironware Shop and other buildings in the city. After a sumptuous meal, they all went to rest. The medical officers from the Spiritual Medicine Department also rushed over to take care of the injured soldiers. The night was quiet, only the sound of rain and the cries of pain from the injured soldiers could be heard.
Lin Muyu stayed in the Divine Palace. The manager of the Xing Jue City Branch Palace had given his room to the Great Deacon of the Divine Palace. In the eyes of the people in the Divine Palace, Lin Muyu's identity was too noble. Not only was she the commander of the Empire's army, she was also the invincible Great Deacon!
Hugging the longsword, Lin Muyu leaned against the bed and slowly fell asleep. After sleeping for an unknown period of time, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside, "How long has the Great Deacon slept for?"
The guard of the Longdan Army Camp outside replied, "Four hours. Miss, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing. The manager ordered me to help the Great Deacon to wash up. Then … I'll wait here."
"Alright."
Lin Muyu slowly opened his eyes. After four hours of sleep, the Dou Qi in his body was almost at its peak. Furthermore, he was full of energy. The higher his cultivation, the shorter the time he needed to rest. He placed the longsword at the side and said, "Guard, light the lamp and let the lady in."
"Yes, Commander!"
A guard came in with a lamp in his hand, and a girl in a yellow robe also came in with a basin of water in her hand. She said, "Great Deacon, Zi Luo will help you wash up."
"No need." Lin Muyu stood up and said, "I can do it myself."
He washed his face and asked, "Zi Luo, are you also from the Divine Palace?"
"Yes."
Zi Luo replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Great Deacon, Zi Luo's parents passed away two years ago, so the Holy Temple's Master took me in and let me do some trivial chores in the Holy Temple."
Lin Muyu frowned, "According to what I know, the Holy Temple of the Empire has a rule that states that they do not accept women."
Zi Luo said in a panic, "Zi Luo requested to enter the Holy Temple myself. After much begging, Master Manager finally agreed. I hope that Great Deacon will not blame Master Manager …"
"Don't be afraid. I won't blame him." Lin Muyu wiped her face and said, "All the cities in Lingnan are under the rule of the Yihe Kingdom. In fact, the Lingnan Holy Temple is no longer under my supervision. Even if the Lingnan Holy Temple has any new rules, I have no right to interfere. I understand this, so don't worry."
Zi Luo said, "Great Deacon … you, you are very kind …"
"Ha."
After washing up, Lin Muyu put on her armor, picked up the Dragon Spirit Sword, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
"Where did Great Deacon go?" Zi Luo was stunned.
"The military camp."
Lin Muyu did not say much, only leaving her with a handsome back.
Zi Luo stood in the same place, biting her red lips, silently watching Lin Muyu's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, her heart beating wildly. For many girls, Lin Muyu, one of the "Four Heroes of Lanyan", could be called the model of a dream lover, but he did not even look at her. Zi Luo did not have any extravagant hopes in her heart. Perhaps being able to see him was already a blessing from the heavens.
Perhaps this back, she would remember it for the rest of her life?
…
On the square of the Holy Temple, the soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp were preparing, smoke curling up from the kitchen chimneys. The soldiers of the Spirit Fire Department were cooking, and a rich aroma of meat soup enshrouded the surroundings. Wei Chou and Fengxi came up to greet her, cupping their fists respectfully, "Commander!"
"En."
Lin Muyu nodded, smiled and said, "Today's meal will definitely be delicious."
"That's for sure. Last night, the governor's office sent over a lot of beef and mutton, but …" Fengxi's expression froze, "According to the scouts' report, an army has appeared to the south of Xing Jue City. It seems to be the Yihe Country's army from the steel wall, and they are about an hour's journey away from Xing Jue City."
"Oh? How many people? "
"About 3000, all of them are the Yihe Country's heavy cavalry." The corner of Wei Chou's mouth rose, and he smiled, "Their target is Xing Jue City, and they do not come with good intentions. Can we handle this army?"
"Why not?" Lin Muyu smiled faintly, and said, "Pass down the order, quickly eat, and prepare to fight."
"Yes!"
Not long after, after the meal, Lin Muyu led Wei Chou and the rest, galloping along the streets of the city. If the opponent only had 3000 people, then there was nothing to worry about.
The heavy rain had already stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of soil and autumn leaves. Lin Muyu brought tens of high-ranking generals of the Longdan Army Camp to the slope outside the city. Looking from afar, the Spirit Pulse Technique could feel the pulse of the earth. The opponent's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and there were also white birds in the sky, which should be the Yihe Country's scouting messenger birds.
Wei Chou immediately raised his longbow, and with a "sou", he shot an arrow, killing it.
"What should we do?" Qin Yan was a little excited as he held onto his spear, and said, "Big Brother, do we rely on the city to defend, or … directly lead the Longdan Army Camp out of the city, and fight with them in the wilderness?"
"Let's wait first, and find out who they are."
"Yes."
Not long after, a light cavalry scout from the Longdan Army Camp galloped over, cupped his fists respectfully, and said, "Sir, I have seen it clearly. They are carrying the banner of the Yihe Country's traitor, Lu Zhao. It is a general under Lu Zhao, and his name is Xiong Chao."
"Xiong Chao?" Lin Muyu frowned, and said, "Do any of you know this person?"
Fengxi said, "I know. Although Xiong Chao is not astute, he is brave and good at fighting. It is said that in the battle of Lanyan City, Xiong Chao's subordinates participated in the battle against the Flying Mount Camp and the imperial guards, and also participated in the massacre of the city in the end. It is said that Xiong Chao is cruel and heartless, and with a steel knife, he has beheaded thousands of people in Lanyan City. He is known as the God of Massacre of Xiyang City."
"God of Massacre …"
Lin Muyu's eyes were full of calmness, and she said lightly, "Send orders to the Longdan Army Camp to leave the city. We will wait for them halfway, and stop them. All of you, use the White Drill Arrows, I want to kill 30% of them before the two armies come close!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Wei Chou nodded and began to write a letter for the messenger bird. At the same time, he asked, "Are we going to remove the arrow box and bring it out of the city?"
"No, don't let them see the arrow box."
"Yes!"
…
Not long after, more than 4,700 elite cavalrymen from the Longdan Army Camp appeared at the back of the hill. Lin Muyu looked at everyone and said, "I will lead 1,700 men to meet them head-on, Wei Chou will lead 1,000 men to attack the right flank, Fengxi will lead 1,000 men to attack the left flank, Qin Yan and Xu Jiantao will lead 1,000 men to go around the forest, and when the battle starts, we will attack from behind, forming a pincer attack. I want this group of people from the Yihe Country to not be able to escape!"
"Yes!" All the generals cupped their fists and quickly led their subordinates away.
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and looked at the majestic 1,000 heavy cavalrymen behind him. His heart was in turmoil, he finally faced the old enemy who attacked Lanyan City again. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, but as the commander of the army, he had to suppress his anger and remain calm.
The army gathered on the hill, and after a few minutes, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the open forest in front of them. Three thousand cavalrymen carrying the Yihe Country's flag came against the wind. In front of the army, a dark-faced general was holding a steel knife in his hand. He raised his long knife quickly and looked at Lin Muyu who was on the hill in front of him. He laughed and said, "Brothers, attack immediately and defeat them!"
He was indeed a fierce general. He didn't even plan to reorganize the formation and just launched a charge.
Lin Muyu slowly raised his Pear Blossom Spear and said, "Let's fight!"
Taxue let out a long neigh and rushed down the hill with her master. The cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp, who had already formed a battle formation, also rushed down one after another. They drew their bows and arrows from afar and shot randomly. The white diamond arrowheads were indestructible, and blood splattered everywhere. Just as Lin Muyu had expected, hundreds of people were killed before they even came into contact with the cavalrymen.
At the same time, there were sounds of fighting coming from the forest on both sides. The people led by Wei Chou and Fengxi quickly formed a pincer attack.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
In a head-on attack, the Longdan Army Camp had a complete advantage, especially the heavy cavalrymen with cone-shaped shields in the front row. They almost crushed their opponents with a crushing advantage. On the other hand, Lin Muyu rushed to the front with his long spear. He shook the spear's shaft again and again, stabbing the Yihe Country soldiers off their horses.
"Kill Lin Muyu!"
Someone shouted, and dozens of volunteer soldiers surrounded her.
Lin Muyu's killing intent was at its peak. She swept her long spear around and suddenly shouted. Eight golden God Binding Chains broke out of the ground around her and formed a substantial attack. These volunteer soldiers and their horses were pierced through!
Blood flowed everywhere. It was a one-sided massacre. Not long after, Qin Yan and Xu Jiantao led 1,000 people to attack from the back. The Yihe Country's cavalrymen were already defeated.
…
"Bastard!"
Xiong Chao waved his battle saber and slashed heavily on a cone-shaped shield, but he could do nothing. A chill came from behind him. He quickly turned around and slashed, but what welcomed him was Lin Muyu's merciless eyes and the energy attack in her palm — First Appearance of Starlight!
"Bang …"
Xiong Chao's battle saber was directly shattered by First Appearance of Starlight. When Lin Muyu passed by him, she brazenly landed a palm on Xiong Chao's chest. Instantly, the armor shattered, and Xiong Chao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The golden gourd vines rose from the ground and quickly wrapped around Xiong Chao. Lin Muyu raised her hand and grabbed him and placed him horizontally on the horse. She shouted, "Xiong Chao has been captured. Do you still want to resist?"
Xiong Chao's face was ashen. He spat out blood non-stop and said loudly, "We lost … We lost. Give up resisting!"
The group of Yihe Country soldiers were dumbfounded. The weapons in their hands slowly fell to the ground. They had become captives.
This battle was very fast. It had already ended in a short 20 minutes.
Wei Chou held his lance and said indifferently, "Disarm all of you. Tie them up and bring them back to Xing Jue City!"
…
In Xing Jue City, a large number of Yihe Country captives had entered the city. They were all surrounded by the Longdan Army Camp in the southern plaza of the city. Lin Muyu stood on the southern city wall and looked at the group of captives calmly. Xiong Chao was among them. Blood was still flowing from his mouth. He raised his head to look at Lin Muyu and shouted, "Lin Muyu, the Empire never kills captives. Since we have already disarmed, you cannot kill us. As long as you negotiate with Marshal Lu Zhao, he will use a large number of Jin Yin coins to exchange for our lives. You are a benevolent general, you cannot kill us!"
Lin Muyu turned around and did not look at Xiong Chao again.
At the side, Wei Chou said respectfully, "Commander, we … we are really not suited to kill the Yihe Country's captives here. After all, so many citizens of Xing Jue City are watching. There might be people from Xing Jue City among these captives."
Fengxi also said, "Commander, they have already disarmed. There is indeed no need to kill them."
Lin Muyu lowered his head and remained silent.
"Commander, you …" Wei Chou could see that he was not calm and couldn't help but feel worried.
When Lin Muyu raised his head again, his eyes were red and he muttered, "Wei Chou, do you know? This group of people participated in the battle against the Flying Mount Battalion. They might be one of the people who killed Big Brother Chu. "
"Sir, they …"
"Do you know?" Lin Muyu's eyes were filled with tears. He said in a daze, "Big Brother Chu Huaiyin is known as the most perfect man in Lanyan City, but … but do you know how many weapons were stabbed into his body before he died? He … he had so many weapons stained with blood in his body that his body was bloated. Do you know? "
As he spoke, Lin Muyu raised his head to look at the sky. Tears flowed from his eyes as he gently lowered his palm.
"Kill them all. Leave no one alive!"
