Chapter 624 - 624 Triumphant Return
624 Triumphant Return
The village chief was originally a tactful person who sought stability and paid attention to gathering wealth through harmony. He didn’t offend anyone, which made the Hundred Fruits Village very successful in the City of Dawn’s surrounding areas.
However, at that moment, he could finally stand up for once.
He was provoked.
“I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid! Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The soldiers on the city wall roared in unison.
There were not many guards in the Hundred Fruits Village, only 5000.
However, they were not a motley army. They had been selected, gone to the City of Dawn, and trained in the City of Dawn’s Military Camp for three months.
They had received military training and practiced the ‘Iron-willed Battle Spirit’ at the City of Dawn. So they were not inferior to the battle array drills. They were even brought out into the wilderness to fight with fierce beasts for three months. An army that had seen blood was definitely not inferior to any Foreign Race Army. With the addition of all sorts of weapons and the city wall as a barrier, even with just 5000 men, they could resist several times or even more than ten times the number of enemies.
It wasn’t just the Hundred Fruits Village. After the rise of the Kingdom of Dawn, many Human race forces moved to its surrounding areas. After joining the Kingdom of Dawn, their troops would be sent to the Military Camps in the Kingdom of Dawn’s border cities to receive training.
That way, every town’s combat power would increase greatly. Their strength and foundations would also strengthen by an unknown amount.
Even after they returned, they received many war resources from the City of Dawn.
At the same time, the soldiers had developed a strong sense of identity with the City of Dawn through training. If even the army were loyal to the Kingdom of Dawn, that would be equivalent to the entire town being inseparable from the Kingdom of Dawn. That was imperceptibly under their control.
Yang Mi proposed that method which had a magical effect of quietly making things work.
That method was almost equivalent to killing imperceptibly, and it was a method that no leader of the Human race forces could refuse. It was a completely open conspiracy. Even if they knew that the armies sent over would no longer be under their control after returning, they could only smile bitterly and send their armies over.
Such a method allowed the Kingdom of Dawn to gain complete control of all the major Human race forces in the surrounding areas in a few months. That was something that the leaders of the various forces could only accept, even if they understood.
After all, the Kingdom of Dawn was a Human race force. Even if they were annexed, as long as they didn’t do anything to harm the Kingdom of Dawn, they would be able to obtain a stable family and career at the end of the day as the leader of a force.
That was the conclusion they came to after asking around countless times and even talking to the Kingdom of Dawn’s Lords and Country Lord.
In the eyes of the Lord of Dawn, the Country Lords of small forces like them were not worth mentioning.
The only thing that the Lord of Dawn cared about was population. Territory, wealth, and power were of no interest to him.
“Battle. We could not enter the frontlines to fight against the foreign races and battle with the warriors previously. Now that the foreign races are right before us, we can’t lose face for the Human race, the Kingdom of Dawn, and ourselves!”
“That’s right. Even if we must die, we must make these damned foreign races pay a painful price. Come on, let’s cut off the heads of these Kobolds.”
“Killing one is enough. Killing two is a bonus!”
On the city wall, all the soldiers had determined expressions. Not only were they not afraid, but they were also eager to try. They wanted to charge into the battlefield and kill those Kobolds immediately.
“We’ve trained for three months in the City of Dawn just for today’s battle.”
Swords and sabers were unsheathed, and spears flickered. A large number of crossbow arrows and Rune Arrows were all carried onto the city wall. They were ready to unleash their strongest attack at any moment.
“Eh? What is going on? These Kobolds don’t seem to be initiating an attack. Look at the dog they’re carrying. They’re heading towards the Kingdom of Dawn, and there are old and weak Kobolds everywhere in the group.”
On the city wall, a soldier suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
“Who’s the village chief? Come out and talk to me.”
The Black Emperor lay lazily on the palanquin. It was called a palanquin, but it was just a pieced wooden board. The Black Emperor lay on top of the palanquin and raised his eyes to look at the city wall.
“I’m the Hundred Fruits Village’s village chief. May I know who you are, Sir?”
“Humph, I am the brother of the Lord of Dawn, Lord Black Emperor!”
“Eh? Brothers? How come we didn’t know about it?”
“Ignorant! Of course, I was taken in by the Lord of Dawn not long ago. Why are there so many of you? Are you plotting against me?”
The Black Emperor shamelessly said he was Li Xiang’s brother. Still, his eyes were carefully scanning the surroundings, afraid that his words would reach Li Xiang’s ears.
The Hundred Fruits Village’s village chief was a smart person. He naturally did not believe Li Xiang would take a dog as his brother. However, that dog said it certainly. He obviously had a great relationship with the Lord of Dawn.
The strongest possibility was that he was a pet that the Lord of Dawn had just taken in. Otherwise, he would not have dared to be so arrogant at such a close distance from the Kingdom of Dawn.
“I wonder what Lord Black Emperor brought these Kobolds for…”
“Don’t be afraid. These Kobolds have been intimidated by my Lord’s aura. They’ve knelt on the ground and acknowledged me as their master. They’re all my captives, my subordinates, and my property. I’m taking them to the City of Dawn now. I want to use the teleportation array. Let us through immediately!”
The Black Emperor said loudly with an arrogant attitude.
It was strange for a dog to raise his head and stick out his chest like that.
However, the village chief didn’t dare to underestimate him. He smiled and said, “Lord Black Emperor, although that’s what you say and the teleportation array can be used at any time, I think we should first consult the Country Lord and let him make the decision since there’s such a large number Kobolds. Otherwise, I can’t afford to take responsibility if something really happens!”
What a joke. If so many Kobolds were to come to his small city and something really happened, who would be responsible?
In this world, anything could happen. There was nothing wrong with being careful.
“Go! Go!” The Black Emperor did not make things difficult for him. He waved his claws and said.
…
“Welcome back on your victory, Country Lord!”
Li Xiang, Alice, Zhao Yun, and the others stepped out of the Void Divine Gate and appeared in front of everyone.
Almost at the same time, shouts rang out in the void.
Li Xiang nodded, looked around, and said, “Bid farewell to the martyrs. They will be buried at the Great Wall of Iron Blood.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The army marched out of the Void Divine Gate in an orderly manner. Every step they took was steady and powerful, conveying their determination and persistence.
The commoners behind them just followed quietly.
