Chapter 9: The Daring Detachment Operation

  "Murong Xue, you stinky girl! Don't let me catch you! In a little while, I'll make you look good!"

  No one could hear what the Ninth Prince was saying, only seeing his small mouth muttering, but judging from the expression on his face, he must be angry. No one dared to ask, and Murong Xueyi rode away on her white horse with her maid.

  "I'm a grown-up! I don't want to be on the same level as a 12-year-old little girl! Wait until you get married and move in, I'll spank your butt every day!" Long Tianyu muttered fiercely, then said to the guard.

  "Go! We're also setting off!" Riding on a tall horse, Long Tianyu's nose was raised to the sky, with an "I'm very awesome" look, taking the lead. Seven Sword Kings responsible for Long Tianyu's safety mounted their horses and followed after him.

  Dong Jianzong was the last one, smiling as he looked at Tianyu in front of him, "He's really just a kid..."

  …………

  "Miss, the ninth prince seemed very angry just now. Don't quarrel with him, he is a prince and your future husband, it's not good for you."

  There were two maidservants, seventeen or eighteen years old, beside Murong Xueyi. They had a few good looks, although they were much more mature than Murong Xueyi, but compared to her, they were too ordinary.

  Two people were in charge of Murong Xueyi's daily life, but don't look at their slender build, these two maidservants were carefully selected and trained, both having the strength of a first-class swordswoman!

  Murong Xueyi snorted and said, "A person like this is actually going to be my fiancé? He can't do anything! Not even a bit of breeding, and yet he's still a prince! Just looking at him makes me disgusted!"

  "Miss, miss! Don't quarrel with the Ninth Prince," the maid thought that Murong Xueyi was being bullied by Long Tianyu. If she were to provoke Long Tianyu because of this matter, it would definitely be their own young lady who would suffer in the end.

  Murong Xueyi is married to Long Tianyu, this matter has already been set in stone. Even if Murong Xueyi is intelligent and talented by nature, the union between the Long and Murong families is necessary for future political needs, and even she cannot change it.

  ………

  Three hours later, the imperial army marched out of the empire's borders and arrived at the vast grasslands of Honghuang. Although this place was infested with bandits, even the most foolish ones did not dare to provoke the imperial army! The mere sound of the 90,000-strong army marching by was enough to make them tremble with fear in their hideouts.

  "General Jin Ke, how much longer until we reach the edge of the Spirit Forest?" The empire's map of the Spirit Forest was unreliable, with only a rough scale.

  "I report back to General, based on my experience, at our current speed, we have roughly ten more hours!"

  "Ten o'clock? Too late!"

  Murong Xueyi's small face, as white as jade, seemed to have another layer of frost condensed on it. With the speed of a swift soldier, at this time, they had arrived at the edge of the Spirit Forest, and it would take at least two more hours to reach the Spirit Clan.

  The imperial flying demon eagle sent a message, the beastman troops will arrive at the elven tribe's life fortress in two hours, and the elven tribe only has 10,000 people left, they can't hold on for much longer.

  "General! Let's make the soldiers quicken their pace even more! Advance at full speed to shorten the time!" General Jin Ke also thought of the urgency of time.

  "It won't work. If we rush to the Spirit Clan at full speed, the soldiers will have no fighting strength to speak of." Murong Xueyi directly negated Jin Ke General's plan.

  Long Tianyu stood ten meters away, listening to their conversation. He was just a shell of a marshal and wouldn't gain anything by participating in the discussion or answering questions correctly! Moreover, looking at Murong Xue made him uncomfortable, "What's so special about her? She's just pretty, there are many beauties from other realms, what's there to be proud of? Just wait and see how I'll deal with you later."

  Long Tianyu looked at Murong Xueyi, his heart itched, and he really wanted to lock her in his own palace and bully her to his heart's content!

  "I say, dear Fu Shuai, I have a good idea!"

  Long Tianyu said mysteriously to her, seeing Murong Xueyi look over, and with a very provocative glance, raised an eyebrow and whispered: "Little broken girl, what's wrong? Can't do anything? The chest development is not bad, it will definitely be a big-breasted fool in the future!"

  "Oh, Your Highness has some lofty views, might as well share them with us?" General Jin Ke hastily asked before Murong Xueyi could speak.

  "With the speed of our army, we'll probably arrive at the Elf tribe when their first life fortress has already fallen. Since we can't make it in time, why not let those who can hurry go?" Long Tianyu said slowly and deliberately, with an extremely arrogant tone, while holding the reins.

  "What does Your Highness mean?"

  Long Tianyu pulled out a note from his waist and read: "In our army, there are nearly 1,000 swordsmen from first to ninth rank, 150 sword kings from first to ninth rank, plus my guards, a total of 17 Sword Sect members. There are also 120 magic users with strength above the first rank of Demon Magic, totaling over 1,100 people! With their strength, led by Dong Jianzong, they can arrive at the Spirit Clan within three hours!" Long Tianyu read out the data on the note in one breath, like a street performer reciting a story.

  "It's too dangerous! I won't agree to it! If we encounter strong enemies from the Blood Feather Empire and the Star Moon Empire on our journey, neither Your Highness nor Miss Murong Xueyi will have anyone to protect them!" Dong Jianzong immediately replied, his face set in a resolute expression of disagreement.

  "This is my plan, with over a thousand people rushing here, we can absolutely turn the tide! Of course, our beloved Commander Fu will definitely not dare to. People are all afraid of death, I believe that now there must be strong individuals from other two countries secretly watching us!"

  Seeing Murong Xueyi not speaking, quietly thinking, Long Tianyu's face was filled with joy! The joy of victory, Long Tianyu stuck out his little tongue and made a face at Murong Xueyi.

  As for the contradictions between these "kids", General Jin Ke didn't even bother to intervene, anyway they would be a family in the future, no need to make things complicated.

  Murong Xueyi pondered for a moment before riding her horse to the front of the troops.

  "Come in!"

  Several communication soldiers rushed out of the large team immediately.

  "Pass on my orders! All strong warriors above First-Rank Sword King and all powerful mages above First-Rank Magic Master, form a team! With the speed magic boost from Feng Xi, led by Dong Jianzong! Act independently, rush to the Elf Tribe at top speed and protect the Life Fortress with your lives! All First-Rank to Ninth-Rank Swordsmen and Mages, form a temporary coalition, act independently, and hasten to the Elf Tribe!"

  "Yes!"

  A dozen communication soldiers took orders and rushed towards the main force of the army.

  A true military talent should not only consider others' suggestions but also know how to make perfect suggestions! Achieve refinement and effectiveness!

  "Miss Murong! I... " Dong Jianzong's words were not yet finished, when Murong Xueyi turned around with an icy gaze, that cold aura made even the powerful Dong tremble! This was not strength, but temperament!

  "This is a military order! As a member of the Empire and as a member of this legion, you must obey every command!"

  Murong Xueyi gave a sly smile to Long Tianyu, as if provoking him.

  She is also not afraid of assassination by enemy countries!

  Upon receiving the order, the second legion took a step forward. The magicians floated in mid-air while nearly a thousand swordsmen sprinted on the ground.

  The first team was led by Dong Jianzong, and more than a hundred people rushed away!

  If the second team's swordsmen ran like fine steeds, then Dong Jianzong led a team of strong men who were the fastest cheetahs on the prairie!

  In a few breaths, they had surpassed the vanguard! The two teams of horses and men slowly disappeared from the army's line of sight.

  Under the insistence of Dong Jianzong and Jin Ke, three Qinghe Sword Sects and two Lutian Sword Sects were left behind to protect Murong Xueyi and Long Tianyu's safety.

  ………

  Life is on the fort.

  Ferina, the fairy princess, stood on the giant city wall gathered by huge green vines. She wore the only treasure of the fairy tribe, the Armor of Life, and her slender figure was evident. She looked like a beautiful natural goddess, using a gentle voice to encourage each warrior. This sacred war would determine the existence of the fairy tribe, a civilization! A proud and great civilization! They had to guard it with their lives.

  Every elf warrior picked up their crossbow, trembling with fear or excitement, and as they looked far away, the sky turned dark and the earth grew dim.

  Rumble... rumble... rumble...

  It's not dark clouds in the sky, nor is it the sound of thunder!

  The fear of the beastman, with the iron hooves of the beastman, the war horn is about to sound, will the bloody scene be presented again...
