"Those are the experts that Princess Ni Huang brought from the royal palace. Without such capabilities, how do you think we managed to last so long? By the way, the one who sent you flying with a kick was Princess Ni Huang's maid. Princess Ni Huang's temper isn't too good, so it's best for you to keep your distance from her! "
Marchioness Yi seemed to know what Wang Chong was thinking, and she replied without turning her head. The spear in her hand moved swiftly like a shuttle, sending a few wolves charging down the mountain flying. The tip of the spear pierced through the eyes of the wolves and out from the back of their heads.
No matter how the wolves tried to dodge, the spear would still pierce through them and send them flying in the same manner.
"Princess Ni Huang?"
Hearing Marchioness Yi's words, Wang Chong was taken aback. Making use of the opening in which the wolves retreated, Wang Chong swiftly darted out. Turning around, he saw a majestic crimson halo revolving slowly on the peak of the mountain. In the darkness of the night, it seemed as though a massive flaming phoenix had appeared, a beautiful sight to behold.
In that instant, Wang Chong seemed to have understood something.
To think that there would be a legitimate princess of the royal family on Vermilion Bird Peak. This was something that Wang Chong didn't expect. The reason why Wang Chong came to the Three Great Training Camps was for the dazzling generals, so he didn't pay much attention to the princesses and princes of the royal palace.
But thinking about it, there were indeed many members of the royal family who joined the Three Great Training Camps when it was first established.
"To think that there would be a princess on Vermilion Bird Peak. It's no wonder the Turks and Goguryeons weren't able to obtain anything here!"
Wang Chong thought.
The Three Great Training Camps strictly forbade servants and followers from entering. But from the looks of it, Princess Ni Huang wasn't bound by this rule. Wang Chong was well aware of how formidable the experts of the royal family were.
Given that Princess Ni Huang had brought so many experts from the royal family into the training camps, it was no wonder the other royal families were unable to conquer the area.
"If Princess Ni Huang is able to bring experts from the royal family into the training camps, it means that the other royal families are able to do the same as well. In other words... this matter might not be as serious as I thought it to be. "
At this point, Wang Chong suddenly felt relieved.
Princess Ni Huang was not the only member of the royal family in the Three Great Training Camps. With these people around, even if the Three Great Training Camps were to be ambushed while they were completely unprepared, the Three Great Training Camps would not be wiped out in one fell swoop.
"Kill! — "
A series of battle cries shook the earth and the sky. In the distance, black shadow rabbits leapt up and swooped down, rushing over. Although they were a bit late, the Vermillion Bird Peak's Imperial Army guards and instructors still arrived at this time.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! — "
The faces of the Goguryeon warriors warped in horror. Without any hesitation, they frantically fled into the mountains.
"Good chance!"
Wang Chong's eyes lit up. With a sway of his body, he activated the "Single Step Consecutive Slash" and shot forward. Pu, the WuZi Steel Sword pierced through the back of a panicking Goguryeon warrior.
【Congratulations to user for killing 8 soldiers of Goguryeo Empire!】
Along with the voice of the Stone of Destiny, ripples of energy rippled outward. Wang Chong could clearly feel the Bane of the Battlefield augmenting once more.
As time went by, the Goguryeon warriors who were still in the midst of escaping were affected even more severely. This invisible, yet tangible, binding force made the fleeing Goguryeons even more flustered.
What humans feared the most was unknown power. Up till now, no one knew why their fighting prowess had fallen so drastically!
"Kill! — — "
With the coordination of the two sides, the Goguryeon warriors suffered a crushing defeat.
【Congratulations to user for killing 9 soldiers of Goguryeo Empire!】
As Wang Chong's WuZi Steel Sword pierced through the ninth Goguryeon warrior who failed to dodge in time, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield augmented once more.
In this short period of time, Wang Chong had already killed nine Goguryeon warriors who were either at or close to True Martial realm. Under normal circumstances, given Wang Chong's strength, he wouldn't have been able to kill a single one of them.
But through this battle and the strength of a group, Wang Chong managed to kill nine of them!
"Marchioness Yi, help me gather a few men. We'll head to Black Tortoise Peak together!"
Seeing that the Goguryeons had already retreated, Wang Chong turned to Marchioness Yi and said. The latter frowned slightly. If it were any other time, she would have long smacked Wang Chong down for speaking to her in such a manner.
However, times had changed. Knowing that the situation at Black Tortoise Peak was urgent, this wasn't the time to be calculative over such trivial matters.
"Feiyan, Danxue, you lasses, follow me to Black Tortoise Peak!"
Marchioness Yi beckoned to her back, and in the blink of an eye, five young ladies with auras similar to Marchioness Yi walked out from the crowd.
Their eyes were bright and spirited, and it was clear that they weren't easy to deal with.
On the other side, Wang Chong also headed to White Tiger Peak to welcome the group. He beckoned a few Imperial Army guards and instructors whom he was acquainted with, and together with Marchioness Yi, they swiftly headed to Black Tortoise Peak.
Black Tortoise Peak was ablaze, and corpses could be seen everywhere. There were corpses of both humans and wolves, and it seemed like the Goguryeons had suffered far greater losses than White Tiger Peak or Vermilion Bird Peak.
"Kill! — — "
Upon seeing this sight, the eyes of Wang Chong's group reddened, and they immediately charged up the mountain. At the same time, Wang Chong activated the Bane of the Battlefield halo to its maximum potential.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, and the Bane of the Battlefield halo enveloped most of the Goguryeon warriors.
At this moment, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield halo was much stronger than before. When the Bane of the Battlefield halo enveloped the crowd, chaos broke out.
Due to a miscalculation of the effects of the Bane of the Battlefield, eight Goguryeon warriors were killed in an instant.
【Congratulations to user for killing 10 soldiers of the Goguryeon Empire!】
Weng! A huge ripple spread outward, and at this moment, Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield halo had already expanded to a radius of four hundred zhang.
This was an astonishing distance. Almost the entire Black Tortoise Peak was under the pressure of Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield halo. Under this chain reaction, the Goguryeon warriors on Black Tortoise Peak fell one after another.
"Everyone, work together and kill those fellows!"
A man who seemed to be the leader bellowed in Goguryeon. With a ferocious glint in his eyes, he gathered the other Goguryeon warriors to slaughter Wang Chong and the others.
Yiiii! — —
At that moment, a deafening howl sounded from the depths of the Cui Wei Mountain Range, piercing through the heavens. Upon hearing the piercing howl, the entire Black Tortoise Peak panicked. Even the Goguryeon leader had a look of unease on his face.
This was the signal to retreat as promised!
Hong long long, a deafening sound echoed from afar. Innumerable night birds flew into the sky in alarm. In the distance, after defeating the Goguryeons, the experts of Vermilion Bird Peak and White Tiger Peak had gathered together and were making their way toward Black Tortoise Peak.
"Damn it! Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! — — "
The faces of the ferocious Goguryeon warriors warped in horror. Even if they couldn't be bothered with Wang Chong and the others, they immediately fled for their lives, heading deeper into the mountains.
— — No matter how slow they were, it was clear to the Goguryeons that the operation of Vermilion Bird Peak and White Tiger Peak had failed! Without the master archers to seal the area, it was impossible for the operation to succeed.
"Kill!"
Just as the Goguryeons were retreating, the entire mountain peak suddenly trembled. The Black Tortoise Peak that was empty and quiet a moment ago was suddenly filled with a large number of silhouettes, rushing down the mountain.
"This!"
Wang Chong was dumbfounded by the sight, and Marchioness Yi's eyebrows were also furrowed into a deep frown. Then, as though coming to a realization, she harrumphed coldly.
"Hmph, a bunch of cowardly turtles. To think that they would hide in the palace at such a time. It's no wonder they were assigned to Black Tortoise Peak!"
Her gaze swept across the group of fellows charging down the mountain with displeasure. Even if Marchioness Yi didn't understand them, she could tell that they had been hiding, waiting for someone to make a move.
"Wang Chong, Marchioness Yi, why are you two here? — — "
All of a sudden, a shocked voice echoed in the air. On the mountain peak, a round-faced young man in his teens dashed toward Wang Chong and the others.
When he got closer, he realized that it was Wei Hao.
"Why are you two here?"
Wei Hao widened his eyes in astonishment. When he heard the commotion, he thought that the main force had arrived. He didn't expect to see Wang Chong and Marchioness Yi here!
"Humph, do you think everyone is like you, hiding on top of a mountain like a coward?"
Marchioness Yi said coldly.
"What coward? Don't spout nonsense!"
Wei Hao's face flushed red. It was one thing for others to say such words, but how could he tolerate being called a coward by a woman?
"We're just defending with offense!"
"How dare you talk back to me? Are you asking for a beating?"
Marchioness Yi wasn't as patient as Wei Hao. Recalling how Marchioness Yi had stepped on him, a chill ran down Wei Hao's spine. He knew that this woman wasn't one to be reasoned with, and it wouldn't end well for him if he were to anger her. Thus, he quickly shut his mouth.
In the distance, the Goguryeon warriors had already been chased several dozen zhang away. The Imperial Army guards and instructors of White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Peaks were in pursuit.
With the crisis at Black Tortoise Peak resolved, Wang Chong decided to stop his pursuit.
'Don't chase a cornered enemy'. Wang Chong knew his own situation, so he didn't dare to advance recklessly.
"Right, Wei Hao, I saw that the entire mountain peak is on fire, and even the palaces have been burned down. How did you all defend against such a huge attack? "
Wang Chong suddenly asked.
From afar, he thought that more than half of Black Tortoise Peak had died. However, the truth didn't seem to be the case. This piqued Wang Chong's curiosity.
Hearing Wang Chong's words, even Marchioness Yi turned her gaze over. The master archers of the Turks weren't to be trifled with. Even though Wei Hao said that they were hiding in the palaces, Marchioness Yi knew that those palaces couldn't withstand the arrows of the Turks.
"Hehehe!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, Wei Hao's eyebrows danced in delight.
"The wolf fang arrows of the Turks might be formidable, but they can't do anything to us! Don't forget, we're at Black Tortoise Peak. Almost everyone in the base has a shield. If we gather together and form a shield wall above our heads, how can we possibly get hit so easily? "
"Shield?"
