Western King's Army
In a mortal town at the border of Beiyang Country, Ye Fei was wearing ordinary clothes and strolling around the market with a depressed expression.
There were commoners and merchants everywhere. Even the warriors who passed by were mostly in the Martial Dao Realm. Even the Martial Master Realm was very rare.
There was no doubt that the strength of this town and the strength of the warriors were very weak. However, the population here was very dense and the business was also very prosperous.
Therefore, even if he let Xiao Cao come out to take a breather and sit on his shoulder to eat candied haws, Ye Fei didn't have to worry that someone would discover that Xiao Cao was different.
However, the rumbling sound of horse hooves quickly broke the leisurely mood of the two of them. The galloping horses were very fast. Judging from the sound, it was very likely that there were thousands of soldiers and horses passing by. There was no warning before entering the town. To Ye Fei's surprise, the people of the town were already used to it.
Seeing that Ye Fei was still letting Xiao Cao ride on his neck and eat candied haws, a kind-hearted old man hurriedly stopped Ye Fei and retreated to both sides of the street. "Young man, don't be rash. The soldiers of the Western King's Mansion are coming over. Be careful not to offend them."
"Old man, are the soldiers of the Western King's Mansion very domineering?" Ye Fei asked curiously. He had seen the Western King before. He was a typical black-hearted and ruthless person. His troops would definitely not fare any better.
When the Old Master heard Ye Fei's words, his face was full of displeasure. He said, "Young man, we don't like what you're saying. The soldiers of the Western King's Mansion are all good men. Without them fighting bloody battles on the frontlines, how could we have a stable life now? Go, the Old And Decrepit doesn't want to talk to you anymore."
The old man was so angry that he no longer spoke to Ye Fei. Like the rest of the town, he raised his head and looked forward.
Ye Fei felt that it was even more strange. Fighting bloody battles? Could it be that there was a war on the Western King's side? The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
The valiant soldiers and horses, with a fierce murderous aura, quickly galloped through the empty street.
No one made a sound. The thousands of warhorses were so orderly that they seemed to have become one. Ye Fei was also a little shocked. Sword King Mansion had also trained some troops in the past six months. However, compared to the soldiers of the West Prince's Residence, the difference was like heaven and earth.
When the army passed by, a white-haired old general stood at the side and cupped his fists to the people around him. "Fellow villagers, the army is passing by. Please forgive us for disturbing you."
"What are you talking about, General Wang? If it weren't for the soldiers of the West King Residence fighting against the Vicious Beasts all day long, our small town would have been destroyed by the Beast Tide. We wouldn't have such peaceful days," the people around said.
There were also many young Martial Warriors. They excitedly gathered around and said, "General Wang, the once-in-a-decade Beast Tide is coming again. Is the West King Army still lacking people? Can we join the West King Army?"
General Wang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. If you want to join the West King Army, you have to be at least a Martial Grandmaster! Even the soldiers had to be at the Martial Master Realm. Everyone, do your best. "
After saying that, General Wang also left on his horse. Before he left, he inadvertently glanced at Ye Fei. Ye Fei also returned a smile.
He could see that although the West King Army was evil and ruthless, the West King Army under his control was deeply loved by the people.
It could also be seen that the West King Army was not too bad. It was worth making friends with him.
Ye Fei rubbed Xiao Cao's ponytail on his shoulder. Suddenly, he rose into the air and rushed into the distant sky. "Xiao Cao, hurry up and finish your meal. Then we'll go to the West King City."
After flying for about a day, Li Yundong finally came to a stop. Ye Fei had already seen the outline of the West King City. Unlike the other Heavenly King Cities, the West King City was more like a heavily guarded military camp.
There were soldiers and horses training everywhere. The entire city gave people a kind of awe-inspiring and solemn atmosphere. Entering the city, in addition to the walking soldiers and horses, there were also many Martial Warriors from all over the country.
The Martial Grandmaster Realm, Martial Venerable Realm, and Martial King Realm were not rare.
The residents of the city were very welcoming to these Martial Warriors because these Martial Warriors were the forces that protected the West King City.
"Soldiers, you must protect the Heavenly King City this time. I heard that the Beast Tide this time will be a terrible disaster that happens once in a hundred years."
"Yes, if the West King City is broken, the Beast Tide that is no longer suppressed will definitely sweep through all the cities and towns behind. Our families and millions of people may die."
The Martial Warriors who had rushed over also chatted and encouraged each other. It could be seen that everyone's fighting spirit was still very high.
But in this kind of high spirit, a sad bugle horn suddenly sounded. Hearing this bugle horn, the people who were talking enthusiastically just now suddenly fell silent.
The high morale gradually became low.
Hundreds of soldiers of the West King Army silently carried a stretcher into the city. On the stretcher lay the body of an old man.
"It's Old General Wang!" Someone who recognized the old man suddenly burst into tears.
"Damn the Northern Plains Country. Even Old General Wang was killed by them." Many Martial Warriors could not help but roar in anger.
It could be seen that Old General Wang had a high prestige in the West King City. His death in battle resonated with many people.
Ye Fei also looked at the old man on the stretcher with some shock. He had just met this person yesterday, but today, he had died on the battlefield.
Most importantly, Old General Wang was not killed by the Vicious Beasts. There was a terrible palm print on his chest. The palm print had extinguished all his vitality.
"What's going on? Isn't this place resisting the Beast Tide? How could a Martial King expert be killed?" Ye Fei was very puzzled.
When the Martial Warrior standing next to him heard this, he put away his sorrow and said, "Brother, you must be new. You don't know that the Beast Tide is not our main enemy here in the West King City. The real enemy is the Vicious Wolf Cavalry of the Northern Plains. If it weren't for their interference every time, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses every time we resisted the Beast Tide."
"Yes, I heard that the Northern Plains Country was even more ruthless this time. They actually took advantage of the time when we were resisting the Beast Tide to send their Heaven's Prides to challenge the Martial Kings and Generals of the West King City. It's just that I didn't expect that even the experienced Old General Wang would be killed …"
Old General Wang's death affected far more than just these Martial Warriors. It also greatly affected the morale of the people of the West King City.
Morale seemed illusory, but on the battlefield, the strength of morale could often determine the outcome of a battle.
For example, an army with high morale could often exert double or even several times their physical potential and kill the enemy with blood-soaked words.
If morale was low, many times, even the elite soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles would be able to exert less than fifty percent of their strength.
Especially now, when a large number of Vicious Beasts attacked the city once every ten years. Once the morale of the West King Army was affected, the losses in the face of the Vicious Beasts' attack could be imagined.
