Ten days had passed.
All of the Death Legion's troops gathered once more.
The one thousand five hundred people had all broken through to the Human General Realm. Not a single one of them dared to fall behind. They all desperately tried to break through, gathering unprecedented motivation.
Yang Wu had given them medicinal liquid, helping them cleanse their bodies twice, increasing their vitality. He had also given each of them a pill. If they still couldn't break through, then they could just smash their heads against a wall and die.
The one thousand five hundred Human Generals gathered together, each of them releasing a powerful aura that condensed into an indescribable energy. It gave off a very shocking feeling.
Yang Wu walked over. On his left was the skinny monkey and Lu Zhi, while on his right was Wan Lanxin. They were all wearing battle armor that gave off a dazzling glow.
Yang Wu looked at the orderly rows of soldiers and swept his Divine Sense over them. He could clearly sense their cultivations and said with incomparable satisfaction, "You're all very good."
"Captain is mighty!" All of the soldiers shouted out in unison.
This voice was mighty and full of aura, shaking the entire army camp to the point that they could sense the abnormality here.
Not far away, the soldiers in the army camp already knew of the changes in the Death Legion. They all began to whisper with jealousy.
"The Death Legion's aura is really strong. They must have eaten some aphrodisiac."
"You don't know, but I heard that General Yang Wu gave each of them a pill and requested that they all break through to the Human General Realm. He's preparing to bring them back to Imperial City."
"General Yang Wu is so biased, giving each of them a pill to help them increase their strength. We are also his subordinates. Doesn't his conscience hurt by doing this?"
"Aiya, who told us to not be part of the Death Legion. General Yang Wu came from there and is even more monstrous than the legendary Death Battle King. If he becomes our general in the future, perhaps there will be some benefits for us."
"General Yang Wu has already been married and is preparing to become the emperor's son-in-law. He definitely won't be coming back."
… …
The soldiers of the other barracks yearned to become Yang Wu's subordinates. He was a King of Medicine. With his protection, it would be difficult for them not to advance.
Unfortunately, Yang Wu couldn't care less about the soldiers in the other barracks. Moreover, the news that he was going to become the emperor's son-in-law had already spread. They felt that there was no hope of becoming Yang Wu's soldiers.
Yang Wu was indeed not in the mood to pay attention to the other soldiers. He only wanted these 1,500 soldiers. Otherwise, people would say that he was too meritorious and that the mercenaries were rebelling.
The imperial court had long set a rule that no private army could have more than two thousand men. Yang Wu's fifteen hundred men did not exceed this rule and could be brought back to serve as his household generals.
If other people knew that these 1,500 soldiers were already at the Human General Realm, what would they think? Moreover, two of them were already at the King Realm.
Xue Ji and Du Guang Fo had both become Kings. They had become the Kings of the Death Legion. Their Blood Qi and minds had become extremely powerful.
Li Dazui, Zhou Yong, and Zheng Xiaohu didn't have this kind of ability yet. However, under the stimulation and with the Foundation Fortifying Pill, they would have this kind of opportunity soon.
Yang Wu gestured for them to quiet down and shouted, "Get on the horses!"
These 1,500 soldiers all got on their horses with weapons in hand. Their well-trained movements were quite stunning.
Yang Wu personally brought the Dragon Blooded Horse to Lu Zhi and said, "Beautiful Advisor, this Dragon Blooded Horse has accompanied me through the grasslands. Its horsepower is extraordinary and it is the horse of the Barbarian Race's royal family. Today, I will give it to you in front of all my brothers. I hope that you will accompany this general to greater glory in the future!"
Lu Zhi took the reins and bowed solemnly, "Lu Zhi is willing to die for the Lord!"
"We are willing to die for the Lord!" The soldiers of the Death Legion all shouted with great seriousness along with Lu Zhi.
"Very good. As long as this general is here, I will not mistreat you." Yang Wu looked at them and solemnly promised.
Then, he accompanied Meng Bingxue on the back of the Silver Patterned Tortoise and gave the Fire Cloud Tiger to Shou Hou. They began the journey back to King City.
"Let's go!" Yang Wu looked in the direction of King City and shouted with anticipation in his eyes.
Bang bang!
The sound of galloping horse hooves rang out, and a cloud of dust rose into the air. The troop of more than 1,500 people marched toward Royal City in a grandiose manner.
This kind of momentum, this kind of movement, showed that Yang Wu had returned.
The border and King City were separated by several cities. With the speed of the horses, it would take at least half a month to reach King City.
Yang Wu had already embarked on the return journey, so he didn't dawdle any longer. He madly rushed without stopping, alarming the villagers, townspeople, and common people wherever he went. Some City Lords hurriedly rolled out of the City Lord's Mansion to welcome him.
These city lords were all Kings and their positions were comparable to Lieutenant Generals. Unfortunately, Yang Wu did not care about them. His position was equal to theirs. Moreover, he had done many meritorious deeds. It was normal for a young man to be arrogant.
These city lords mainly came out to welcome Yang Wu because he could become the Emperor's son-in-law. If it was a normal general, they would be more reserved and wait for him to take the initiative to come to them.
Yang Wu rushed for seven days. Other than letting the horses rest at night, most of the time they were on the road.
At this speed, they had hopes of returning to Royal City in another five days.
Yang Wu was really anxious to return home.
When they were about to pass by another city, they found that the city's gate was tightly shut. There were even guards holding weapons on the city walls.
Yang Wu's eyes were like lightning. He immediately saw the words "High Cliff City" on the city gate in the distance.
High Cliff City was one of the biggest cities in Great Xia. The city lord was one of the top existences in many cities. A high-level King was the head of the Gao Clan, the number one clan in High Cliff City.
When Yang Wu and his group arrived outside the city, they heard someone on the city wall shouting, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"Impudent! What right do you have to ask for my general's name? Quickly open the city gate and let us pass. Otherwise, the horses will trample the gate." Zheng Xiaohu raised his weapon and shouted at the guards on the city wall.
"This is High Cliff City. All soldiers must dismount and pass. This is the rule. Otherwise, don't even think about entering the city." The guards on the city wall replied firmly.
The Gao Clan was not only the number one clan here, but they were also relatives of the emperor. The current empress was a member of the Gao Clan. Because of this, they had already claimed High Cliff City as their territory. Other than the emperor's orders, everything had to be done according to their rules.
"My lord, this is the Gao Clan's territory. They are not weak. They are the current Empress Gao's family. Should we make an exception?" Lu Zhi reminded Yang Wu.
Lu Zhi was well-read and knew the geography of Great Xia very well. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the advisor.
Yang Wu was silent for a moment. Then, he shouted, "Trample the gate!"
"Trample the gate!" All the soldiers replied excitedly.
After they had all advanced to the general realm, they were all eager to fight. Since the High Cliff City did not know what was good for them, they could not blame them for being impolite.
In the blink of an eye, one thousand five hundred warhorses charged forward in a frenzy.
The shocking sound of the horses' hooves shocked both the inside and outside of the city.
The guards on the city wall were all shocked. Someone kept screaming, "Don't come any closer. If you come any closer, we will shoot the arrows."
The Death Legion ignored them. Lu Zhi waved the war flag in his hand. A cone-shaped formation was formed and slammed into the city gate.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows!" The guards on the city wall cried out.
The hundreds of guards on the city wall shot the arrows. Many arrows were shot at the Death Legion.
Suddenly, two figures burst out, and their majestic King's aura swept towards the arrows. Many of the arrows were shaken and turned into dust.
"How dare you shoot arrows at our general. You are courting death." Xue Ji and Du Guang Fo leaped onto the city wall and attacked the guards here.
Ahhh!
The two Kings were very powerful. The strongest of these guards was only in the general realm. They were all mercilessly injured by the two Kings.
They knew their limits and did not kill them directly. Otherwise, it would be used against them and cause more trouble for their commander.
At this moment, the soldiers and horses of the Death Legion had already arrived in front of the city gate. Over a dozen warhorses at the front raised their hooves high and stomped on the city gate with powerful hooves.
Bang!
The warhorses were very powerful. They stomped on the heavy city gate. Not long after, the city gate festered on the spot. The guards behind the gate were all frightened and retreated.
"The rebel army is charging in, the rebel army is charging in!" The guards all began to shout in panic.
They had never been provoked like this. Now that there was such a group of people attacking them, they were really scared out of their wits.
One thousand five hundred cavalrymen charged into the city like a tidal wave.
The guards behind the city gate were all trampled into a mess by the horses. Screams rang out one after another.
"All troops, listen to my order. Do not cause any harm to the people." Lu Zhi's voice rang out.
"Yes, Grand Master." The soldiers slowed down their momentum and responded.
Yang Wu said that Lu Zhi's words were equivalent to his words. No one would ignore Lu Zhi's words just because he was a weak advisor.
At this moment, Yang Wu sat on the Silver Patterned Tortoise and slowly appeared in front of the soldiers. He led them forward. He wanted to see what the Gao Family was up to.
Soon, a group of people came to greet them.
This group of people had an extraordinary aura. Everyone was sitting on a different spirit beast mount and holding different weapons. They were all glaring at Yang Wu's group.
The leader was sitting on a leopard beast. He held a war spear and shouted, "How dare you invade our High Cliff City. Quickly get off your horse and accept your death."
"Big Brother, this guy is retarded. Let me teach him a lesson." Shou Hou said to Yang Wu. He rode the Fire Cloud Tiger and charged over. He cursed, "Idiot, eat your Grandpa Sun's staff!"
