Chapter 300: Severing the Future Bloodlines
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The armies arrived one after the other. On the next morning, the army from the Azure Dragon Empire had arrived fully. Of course, it was mainly because the Azure Dragon Empire sent out a small army. They might only have 30,000 soldiers, but it was even more ferocious than an army of 300,000. All these 30,000 soldiers were at least at the peak-stage of Purple Mansion Realm, with 8000 of them were Soul Travel Realm experts, and about 1000 of them were fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts.
Soon enough, the Divine Martial Kingdom’s army had all came, which had a number of 200,000. The marshal was actually Xia Wuhui; of course, he had a famed general who was assisting by his side. It was Taishi Clan’s Taishi Zhan who was one of the Ten Great Generals of the Divine Martial Kingdom. He had always been guarding the north and was obviously transferred here this time to assist Xia Wuhui.
Xia Tingwei still highly regarded Xia Wuhui. He allowed Xia Wuhui to be the marshal this time, giving him an opportunity to wipe out his previous shame and restore his prestige. At the same time, it gave Xia Wuhui the chance to accumulate combat achievements, and the opportunity to gain the support of the military.
Because of Jiang Yi’s previous actions, Xia Wuhui’s prestige in the military had dropped to the bottom. Even though the information was sealed up, it still made its way into the military. Without complete devotion from the military—even if Xia Wuhui was to ascend to the throne, he would never have a secure position.
The third to arrive outside of Summer Rain City was the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s army, which also had an army of 200,000 commanded by an old general. The Saint Spirit Kingdom was the most ruthless during this slaughter and plunder. They suffered devastating losses during the demonic beast insurrection, and they were here with vengeance. Of course, they were merciless.
Soon enough, during noon time, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, the Northern Liang Kingdom, and the Northern Mang Kingdom had all arrived. This army of million soldiers covered as far as the eyes could see, and there was no end to it.
The armies had surrounded Summer Rain City tightly and closely, leaving no trace of gap at all. Right now, even a bee might not be able to fly out.
The walls of Summer Rain City were filled with soldiers while there were clusters of soldiers below the wall, too. All of them were in position for the war that would erupt at any moment. The city was gathered with Great Xia Kingdom’s remaining military which numbered 300,000. All the experts in the Great Xia Kingdom were also assembled in the city, and every one of them had a black cloth tied on their hands as they were seemingly ready for a fight to their death.
Under the protection from the Su Clan’s experts, Su Diwang went up to the city walls on the north while he was accompanied by Su Ruoxue who was in a snow lotus flower dress. All of their faces were filled with deathly stillness and grief.
They had to suffer un-redressed injustice for no reason and had to be attacked by the Azure Dragon Empire and the five kingdoms. This was the moment their kingdom would perish, and it was imaginable what everyone in the Great Xia Kingdom was thinking about.
Tss...
A look below was the boundless army, where one could feel the cold intent that was reflecting off the battle armors and battle sabers. That soaring killing aura caused the heart to tremble and made Su Diwang gasp a few breaths of cold air. His already pale face, which was caused by the wine, was now without a trace of blood.
“Xia Wuhui?”
Su Ruoxue locked her eyes on a dashing youth who was wearing golden battle armor, with a mouth that revealed a ridiculing and mocking smile. This Crown Prince from the Divine Martial Kingdom once said that he would protect her for life but was now leading an army that was going to trample her homeland and slaughter her family.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
The marshals of the six armies were lined up at the north city gates, and when they saw Su Diwang appear, the marshal of Azure Dragon Empire’s army, General Long, was first to ride his warhorse forward by hundreds of meters. The long spear that was emitting a horrific presence thrust forward as he shouted, “Su Diwang! You have done all the wrong things. Kidnapping the Demon Empress’ daughter, giving rise to the demonic beast insurrection, and driving the continent into a terrible state. After making such a huge mistake, you are still not going to repent? Quickly open the city gates and surrender, and we will spare your life. Otherwise, Summer Rain City will certainly become a river of blood!”
The old general from the Saint Spirit Kingdom quickly rode his horse forward and burst out with a yell, “Su Diwang! Hundreds of thousands of Saint Spirit Kingdom’s citizens were lost in the calamity. This old man will set the scores right for this blood debt. If you do not open the city doors and surrender immediately, this old man shall make sure Summer Rain City will be slaughtered without mercy.”
The various marshals all stepped forward and cursed sternly with righteousness. All of them said the same nonsense... that if Su Diwang surrendered, they would spare his life. The Great Xia Kingdom still had an army that numbered in hundreds of thousands and had accumulated many experts over the years. If they were to clash head-on, the alliance army would certainly be victorious. However, for every one thousand soldiers they kill, they would surely lose three hundred. It was definitely best if they could take down this city without the loss of military strength.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wuhui actually remained silent and just looked at Su Diwang and Su Ruoxue who were on the city walls. After experiencing the previous incidents, Xia Wuhui obviously matured from it; and he understood something clearly. The swords and sabers were more effective than speeches.
Su Diwang was trembling from anger and before he could say anything, Su Ruoxue suddenly laughed sneered as she poured out her essence force and spoke, “Xia Wuhui, as the marshal of the Divine Martial Kingdom, aren’t you going to say anything? Or perhaps... do you have a guilty conscience?”
“Hahaha!”
Against Su Ruoxue’s reproach, Xia Wuhui didn’t have a hint of panic on his face; and he laughed loudly instead. “What guilty conscience does Wuhui have? Your King Father has committed a grievous crime which everyone is blaming him for. Wuhui might have the intention to marry Princess Ruoxue and be in bliss for a century, but the heavens didn’t approve of it. In the face of human morality and emotions, I picked the former. I am here today to punish my relative if justice demands it.”
“Hmph!”
Su Diwang suddenly snorted, and at this moment, he realized something and recalled something.
During the battle twenty years ago, wasn’t Su Diwang held captive? The Great Xia Kingdom paid a large sum of ransom to take Su Diwang back. Furthermore, Su Diguo’s talent didn’t seem outstanding back then but had drastic improvement during these years, attaining peak stage of Soul Travel Realm.
Su Diwang was unable to understand why would Su Diguo be involved in the kidnapping of the little fox, but he clearly understood now. Twenty years ago, Su Diguo betrayed him; and he had always been a chess piece for the Divine Martial Kingdom. He was either under submission or being manipulated from the dark. The mastermind, who kidnapped the little fox that time, had already prepared their back-up plan to frame the Great Xia Kingdom.
“Jiang Bieli!”
A shadow appeared in the mind of Su Diwang. This shadow had always been his night demon for the past twenty years. Only this generation genius from the Divine Martial Kingdom would have such a scheme and such courage.
Despite the fact that he got everything right, Su Diwang didn’t say anything. It was currently useless to say anything else, and he didn’t have any evidence. It would only make everything think that he was a mad dog trying to bite back.
He laughed grimly and enhanced his voice with essence force. “What is the use of trash talking? If you want to attack, then come. The Great Xia Kingdom shall die in battle as a hero as we are not cowards who would knee! This humiliation that you brought upon my Great Xia Kingdom shall be repaid in a hundred folds by my Su Clan’s descendants in the future!”
“Hahaha!”
The old general from the Saint Spirit Kingdom laughed loudly and roared out with an expression of mockery. “Su Diwang, are you expecting your Su Clan’s descendants to make a comeback and take revenge on the continent? In your dreams. The over nine hundred clansmen that your Su Clan evacuated had all been killed. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Crown Prince Wuhui and General Long!”
“Pfff...”
After hearing this news, Su Diwang’s eyes suddenly widened up while a mouthful of fresh blood was sprayed from his mouth. His body went soft as he collapsed and fainted.
“Queen Mother, brothers, and sisters...”
Su Ruoxue’s delicate body shook a little, and there was no blood in her face. She staggered for a few steps and nearly fell to the ground. All the Su clansmen had pale faces as white as snow while there was terrifying wrath in their eyes.
If all the descendants that escaped had been killed, the Su Clan’s future bloodlines would have completely severed. With the clan exterminated, there would be no more opportunity for a comeback.
“Kill!”
One of the old consecrators of the Su Clan had a violent burst of killing aura as he drew out the razor-sharp saber from the sheath and shot down towards the army.
