Chapter 14: Every Step is a Thunderclap that Shocks the Heart and Soul (Part 2)

  "Long live Your Highness!"

  Long Tianyu and the nine others walked back to their camp, exhausted. They happened to run into Murong Xueyi and the others who had just returned. Whether they were generals or soldiers, everyone had to salute Long Tianyu first, unless they were a Grandmaster or a powerful being above the Sword Emperor realm.

  "Come on, there's no need to be so formal when we're alone."

  Long Tianyu was not used to this set, he preferred his subordinates calling him "Lao Da", the word "Your Highness" didn't sound as comfortable.

  Just then, Murong Xueyi seemed to be staring at him curiously, probably thinking "A fool who can't even stay in the big camp properly, only knows how to come out and make a scene."

  "Murong Xueyi, how about discussing something with you?"

  Long Tianyu gave Murong Xue a very provocative hook with his fingers, pointing to the back and hinting that she should go over.

  "Say it here if you have something to say!"

  Murong Xueyi didn't give Long Tianyu any face, her voice was still as cold as ever, rejecting him from a thousand miles away. It's really unknown if Murong Xueyi's heart is made of ice.

  Long Tianyu shrugged and said, "Alright then, I have a good idea that can help us retake the city tomorrow!"

  As soon as this was said, all the soldiers looked over curiously. Although a ten-year-old child is naive, as the ninth prince of the imperial family, he should have received the best education from an early age, and military affairs are also among them. However, what disappointed these people was that the current Long Tianyu was no longer the nine princes who were familiar with etiquette, moral integrity, and knowledgeable about books and reason, but a Long Tianyu who had traveled from the blue planet!

  "Your Highness, what's on your mind?"

  Since Long Tianyu's bold idea succeeded last time, General Jin Ke has become somewhat curious about the prince's ideas.

  "That's it! Hand over the command flag to me, and I'll take charge of tomorrow's battle!"

  Jin Ke General's face was full of expectation, but when he heard such an answer, he almost crashed into the flagpole, and other generals also almost snapped their necks and twisted their waists, stunning thousands of people with one word.

  "Impossible! How can Ling Qi give it to you?" Murong Xueyi flatly denied.

  Long Tianyu sneered at Murong Xueyi, "Just arrived for a day and already lost the city! With your three-legged cat's command, it won't take a few days before you're defeated!"

  "Oh? So you're saying that this inexperienced young whippersnapper is quite formidable?" Murong Xueyi looked down on Long Tianyu with disdain, not finding any redeeming qualities about him. After some careful thought, she concluded that perhaps his only strong point was having a thicker skin than the city walls.

  "Does this stinky girl dare to make a bet with me? Tomorrow I'll come and direct, if I lose, I'll take full responsibility!" Long Tianyu's words came out, and his cultivation was directly kicked thousands of miles away.

  "I'll bet, I'll just watch, you're so stupid that you can't even ride a horse, what skills do you have? What are you betting on?" Murong Xueyi gambled with others, never losing since childhood. Today, with such a large stake, she suddenly became interested.

  "Miss Xue Yi is not allowed!"

  "Your Highness! Can the great war be taken as a joke?!" Immediately, a large number of loyal generals dissuaded them, and the two of them started to gamble like this, what's the point?!

  "Shut up!"

  "Shut up!"

  The two men shouted at Jiang Shi in unison! This tacit understanding was really a bit like that of a married couple.

  Long Tianyu looked at Murong Xueyi's delicate body with an evil gaze and said, "Alright, let's make a bet. If I retake the city tomorrow, you'll warm my bed!"

  "Are you still a man?!" Unexpectedly, Long Tianyu said such blasphemous words, and in front of so many soldiers, how could Murong Xueyi not be angry? If allowed, she really wanted to kill him with a spell.

  "You don't dare to bet? I knew it!" Long Tianyu smiled triumphantly.

  "What's there to be afraid of? I'm just being straightforward! This young lady has never lost a bet before! What if you lose?"

  "Unconditionally agree to your two requests, how about it!"

  "Three!"

  "Only two!"

  "Three!"

  "You little scamp, how can you be so naughty!"

  "I'm going to! Don't gamble, or you'll lose!" After finishing speaking, Murong Xueyi gently stroked her beautiful hair, and her beauty was fully displayed. The ice and snow goddess seemed to have instantly become a natural goddess.

  "Good deal! I'll collect you when it's time for bed!" Long Tianyu smiled wickedly.

  "I'm afraid you don't have what it takes, humph!"

  Murong Xueyi took out the command flag from behind and threw it to Long Tianyu.

  The little red flag is in hand, Long Tianyu bursts out laughing, his face delighted, with a confident look on his face, as if he has already seen Murong Xueyi lying on his big bed.

  "Miss Murong Xueyi, you can't!"

  The generals strongly opposed it, but Murong Xueyi shook her head and left, as if she didn't care at all.

  ……………

  The next day, Long Tianyu got up early and wore a golden soft armor, followed by Dong Jianzong and Qingjianzong, to the front of the army.

  In the biting cold wind, the military flag waves violently, and the soldiers all have a firm gaze. They don't know what the outcome of this war is, but they know they are fighting for honor, for the empire! Even if they die, it's glorious.

  "Your Imperial Highness!"

  Long Tianyu stood on a wooden platform hastily set up at midnight, with the eighty thousand troops below him half-kneeling in salute.

  "Everyone, rise!" Long Tianyu took out his command flag from his waist and held it high.

  "Today's battle! I'll take command! Heavy Infantry Legion, listen up! Ditch the heavy armor and switch to light armor!"

  The soldiers didn't know why, but suddenly the cruel battle was commanded by His Highness the Crown Prince, and the soldiers had to carry out the order!

  "Your Highness, this won't do! The beastmen are charging over and without heavy infantry armor we can't hold them back!" General Jin Ke looked at the infantry who had removed their heavy armor and rushed over in shock to stop Long Tianyu.

  "General, this battle is commanded by me, and you as a general still don't go to execute orders!"

  "Yes!"

  The banner is in Long Tianyu's hands, whatever he says is useless, can only shake his head and leave.

  "All knights! Switch swords to lances! Execute at once!"

  Murong Xueyi watched Long Tianyu's command from a distance, having no idea what he was doing. Such a change of armor, wasn't that just waiting for death? Without heavy armor, humans couldn't withstand the beastmen's heavy blows. Changing to long spears and short swords, knights would have no power to fight back.

  "Miss Murong Xueyi, what is the intention behind His Highness's actions this time?" Fina had studied human military law since she was a child and had never seen such an arrangement.

  "I don't know either!"

  "You don't know either?" This time even the Elf Queen stood up in surprise.

  "I'm not sure what he's doing, our mage's aerial magic was all absorbed by the Multicolored Beast's halo, if used directly, there's no damage area at all."

  "Uh..."

  "The only thing that can be guessed is that the cavalry has changed into light armor, which can speed up the charging speed, and changed to long spears, which can expand the attack range more."

  "But this situation will only be useful when the enemy is scattered and their attacking power has greatly decreased!"

  Listening to Furina's words, Murong Xueyi also nodded. They could only guess this much. Although Murong Xueyi had made a bet with Long Tianyu, she still hoped for a miracle, at least to let him see what kind of ability her useless fiancé really had.

  "Infantry clear the center! Cavalry advance in a long snake formation! Mages and archers deploy on both sides, infantry last!"

  This deployment made all the soldiers vaguely guess that His Highness's intention was to charge!

  "Warriors! I, the prince, swear to you! Those who survive this battle of the Spirit Guardians will receive a week's leave when we return to the Empire! You can go see your wives! Your parents! Your children! And if you die in this charge... I, the prince, guarantee that your families will be treated like nobles from now on..."

  As soon as these words came out, the spirit of all soldiers changed! The prince made a vow in front of everyone, how can it be taken lightly? As soldiers of the empire, what they want most is their family's safety!

  "Draw our swords! Annihilate those beasts!"

  "Destroy them!"

  ………

  "Uggghhh..."

  The beastman's horn sounded again, and the white halo of the multi-beast floated above the beastman's head, indicating that the empty fall magic was ineffective.

  Rumbling...

  Beastmen wolf riders, tiger people, leopard people, centaur beasts, and dog beastmen charged over crazily, with rolling wolf smoke, the sky was covered with sand dust.

  In an instant, the beastman rushed over a hundred meters, swinging his coarse weapon and revealing bloody fangs.

  Human warriors gazed intently ahead, gripping their swords and spears tightly, awaiting the command of the Crown Prince.

  "Dong Jianzong! Feng Qimodashi! You two come quickly!"

  Long Tianyu quietly called over two people, the three of them huddled together, whispering something, only to see Dong Jianzong and Feng Qimiao nodding in agreement from afar.

  The warriors all gazed forward, no one saw what the three people on the high platform were doing...

  Excited wolf riders charged halfway, staring at the humans in the distance with their mouths agape, and let out a frenzied howl!

  "Boom!"

  The wolf knight's body flashed with golden light and was blown into several segments, splashing blood and flesh onto the beastmen behind him, causing them to collapse and creating a chain reaction of danger.

  "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

  One, two, three... The beastmen rushing forward were all blown apart by the golden light on the ground!

  Rumble...

  Every step was like a thunderclap, and the ignorant beastmen thought it was human magic, so they charged forward even more crazily!

  Rumble...

  A massive minefield has exploded across the entire battlefield! Sand and rocks are flying everywhere, and the beastmen in the back can't even see the humans in front of them!

  On the high platform, a figure clad in golden armor leaped down and landed accurately on the back of a crimson horse.

  "The Crown Prince is coming! Do not go!"

  Qinghe Jianzong's crazy roar, but the Ninth Prince didn't even glance at him, pulling out a long sword from his waist and pointing it at the beastman who had entered the Thunder Zone in the distance.

  The clear wind rises! It seems that all the warriors in the field heard the Ninth Prince's angry roar: "No matter how high your kung fu is, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife! Warriors, follow me and charge!"

  "Charge..."

  Rumble... rumble... rumble...

  Twenty thousand cavalrymen followed the ninth prince who rode at the forefront, charging towards the beastmen who were being blown up by countless landmines!

  Rumble...

  The vanguard of the beastman's 10,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed by the thunderbolt! The tens of thousands of 'explosive barrels' set up by Long Tianyu were mighty and powerful!

  Infantry troops followed closely behind, with mages and archers flanking from both sides!

  "Charge!"

  Long Tianyu's crimson horse was indeed a treasured steed. With one gallop, it suddenly pulled away from the Knights' Regiment.

  Seeing the invincible Ninth Prince, the soldiers were even more spirited.

  Just as Long Tianyu rushed forward in front of several beastmen who had charged through the Thunder Zone.

  "Boom!"

  A deep blue aura burst forth, directly shattering several wolf riders into pieces! The long sword passed by, leaving no survivors, this was clearly the aura of a high-ranking Sword Sect master!
