Chapter – 126 Enters the battlefield
Just from one look, Long Yu could tell that Long Ji did not care about Feng Longsong’s safety!
“Three days ago, my foster father, Feng Longsong, was seized by a Mongolian assassin. Does our Major General not know about this?”
Long Yu further interrogated.
“I naturally know what happened.”
Long Ji gawked for a moment and immediately responded but then a disdainful look appeared in his eyes: “But, Feng Longsong was the vice general of a past rebel. Even if he has been captured by Mongolian State, it’s not an important matter.”
“Really?”
Long Yu sneered: “Do you know his present cultivation level?”
“That guy’s cultivation is not worth mentioning. His strength, at most, is comparable to an expert of Wudao eighth layer.”
The bald senior general disdainfully said in a loud voice.
“Then I presume you also know that he was seriously injured while resisting against the allied forces of Mongolian State and Eastern State?”
Long Yu further asked with a cold look in his eyes: “He put his life on the line for the sake of our country and killed enemies. He not only got seriously injured and lost most of his strength but also contracted enmity with foreign enemies, which is probably the reason why he has been kidnapped! But you, the Major General of Tang State, actually say that this is not an important matter?”
Everyone was left speechless by Long Yu’s questions!
Both Long Ji and that bald senior general narrowed their eyes as they did not know how to refute Long Yu. Even that fox-eyed senior was in a similarly dumbfounded state!
Because what Long Yu said was an absolute fact!
“Since you do not want to find him, I will go.”
Long Yu sneered and was quite astonished by the scene in front of his eyes. These generals of Tang State had really disappointed him.
Initially, he did not have any opinion about Long Ji, after all, he had not yet seen or met the so-called Major General of Tang State and there was a possibility of him being an extremely patriotic and capable soldier of the state.
But now it seemed like besides having a high cultivation level and belonging to the famous Dragon Clan, Long Ji did not have any worth whatsoever. Of course, he was not suitable to be a Major General because he lacked motivation and dedication towards his country and only focused on showing off his spoon-fed strength!
Long Yu turned around and left the hall.
“Brother Long, I will also go with you.”
Bu Xing was also incomparably disappointed in these generals and immediately turned around to follow Long Yu.
“Major General, these two boys are really too presumptuous. They are clearly trying to look down on you!”
The bald senior general furiously said.
“Senior General Yan Shan.”
Long Ji narrowed his eyes while his golden armor was glowing gloriously: “There is no need for us to get angry because that boy has lost his cool and will surely die on the battlefield!”
“Well, what Major general says is totally correct.”
The bald senior general was suddenly relieved as he quickly understood that Long Ji had already made a plan to deal with Long Yu.
Otherwise, even after being humiliated by Long Yu in front of his generals, how could he possibly let him walk away like this?
Since this boy was going to die anyway, there was no point in being angry at a dead person!
……
Long Yu and Bu Xing walked out of the commander’s palace and heard from the patrolling soldiers that enemy scouts had been spotted in the first canyon. It seemed like an invasion of Ancient Mongolia State had already begun.
In city’s training ground, two responsible generals had been alerted and each of them immediately led thousands of soldiers respectively and marched forward to stop the invasion.
Bu Xing turned his head and looked at the commander’s palace, only to see that Long Ji was glaring at them. There was anger burning in his eyes.
Two countries were at war, this was a military emergency situation but Long Ji was not at all paying attention to intelligence reports and battle strategies!
“General, we also want to go with your troops.”
Bu Xing arrived in front of the two generals and said. The two generals nodded to authorize Bu Xing and Long Yu to be a part of their troops.
The two generals were naturally overjoyed that two Zhenling realm experts were willing to help them in battle.
“Brother, your cultivation level is highest among us. When a senior general blocks our path, I will look forward to having your assistance in dealing with them.”
A general respectfully said to Bu Xing.
These two generals were actually assistant generals and their cultivation level was at Zhenling second layer. If they bumped into a senior general, a terrifying existence of Zhenling third layer, then things could turn tragic for them, but fortunately, now they had Bu Xing to take care of this problem.
As far as Long Yu was concerned, they were not attaching too much importance to him, after all, there were several young soldiers of Zhenling first layer who were working under them.
“No problem, let’s go.”
Bu Xing nodded as he would naturally do his utmost to fight against Mongolian State.
Under the command of these two generals, thousands of trained and capable soldiers, who had originally been trained in Tang Mountain Pass city itself, advanced toward the front lines for the first time.
Within no time, 2000 soldiers were assembled and reorganized to form the vanguard.
Long Yu and Bu Xing also entered the vanguard troops along with the two generals. 2000 horse-riding soldiers advanced toward the first canyon like a storm!
“I will have to catch enemy generals and obtain information about foster father’s whereabouts.”
Long Yu made a firm decision in his heart to take advantage of this situation.
The way these two countries suddenly engaged in war, it was easy to guess that the reason hidden behind this was a big one and was being purposely kept a secret by the authorities.
Or perhaps, this was just a usual skirmish and this whole intrusion story was just a regular routine, no big deal.
Otherwise, considering Long Ji’s laid back attitude, it was possible that the entire Tang Mountain Pass would fall into enemy’s hands in one fell swoop.
And if this was really going to be large-scale war then it was almost impossible to win with just 100,000 soldiers and that too with Long Ji as their commander.
“Perhaps there is an active conspiracy behind this war, a trick of some sort.”
Long Yu tried to reach a conclusion but could not make a solid guess.
Right now, he was fully focused on grabbing an enemy general in battle. After that, he would ask that general to vomit each and every bit of information regarding Feng Longsong.
The vanguard army was slowly approaching the first canyon.
There was an extremely tall sierra to the north and acted as a natural border between Tang State and Mongolian State.
And among them, only Tang Mountain Pass was linked to the seven Grand Canyons which connected the two countries.
The first canyon was smallest among the seven canyons and was also extremely narrow, could only accommodate not more than ten people at a time. It was easy to arrange an ambush in the first canyon.
Long Yu and Bu Xing were somewhere in the crowd of warhorses and were the only two people who were not riding warhorses.
Considering their cultivation levels, keeping up with these warhorses was like taking a stroll in general. They were not even using agility type martial skills or agility type battle weapons right now.
Right after arriving at the first canyon’s entrance, a scout in the front quickly shouted to relay the information to the two assistant generals: “Honorable Assistant Generals! The enemy side is being led by a Senior General, along with five assistant generals and a total of 5000 soldiers.”
The two generals could not stop their complexions from turning pale.
They were not only outnumbered, the enemy army also had a Senior General and three extra Assistant Generals!
“We have no choice but to call for reinforcements.”
An assistant general rapidly made the decision then looked at Bu Xing: “Brother, I leave the enemy senior general to you! Do you need others to support you?”
“There’s no need for that. I can handle him on my own.”
Bu Xing was certainly very much confident in his own strength.
Even if he wasn’t able to kill that senior general, he would still be able to give him a tough fight between equals.
In fact, the strongest core disciple of each major sect in Tang State was usually at Zhenling third layer, however, Bu Xing was the best among them as well!
This was because just like Long Yu, even Bu Xing’s battle efficiency was much higher than those at the same level as him!
“Good, but you have to be careful at all times. There is a great difference between battlefields and arenas used for duels. Here, the situation can turn bad any moment, and if and when that happens, remember that safety comes first.”
The assistant general saw the confident look on Bu Xing’s face and thought that it was better to caution him now itself, before it was too late: “If you experience an ambush, be sure to give priority to your own life!”
“En.”
Bu Xing was the type of guy who would always take a senior’s advice seriously. Confidence was a good trait but over-confidence was no one’s friend.
Although Bu Xing was very powerful and had never been on a battlefield, at this time when he heard the battle cries of 2000 soldiers, he sensed a sudden boost in his morale. He also felt as if his blood was boiling due to the excitement.
In comparison, Long Yu was much calmer and focused.
It was hard to say what kind of situation he had not seen in his past life? His experience, especially when it came to war and murder, was so rich that this scene was not enough to affect him in any way.
He was quite surprised to see that the first canyon was very narrow and there were towering snow-covered mountains on both sides. These mountains were so tall that it seemed like they were touching the sky. The narrow canyon could only accommodate at most ten people at a time and others would have to follow from behind in rows!
This was a snow valley and there was gleaming snow and ice everywhere. These Seven Grand Canyons had existed for innumerable years.
“Kill!”
Suddenly a barrage of roars thundered one after another and echoed throughout the canyon, followed by Mongolian army advancing toward them. A bearded expert of Zhenling third layer was leading this army.
“I will deal with him.”
A cold look flashed in Bu Xing’s eyes as he instantly activated ‘horizon is close’ skill and rushed toward that bearded man.
“Oh, what do we have here? A disciple from some major sect.”
The bearded man was slightly surprised for a moment then immediately laughed: “It seems like Tang State does not have capable soldiers who can take me on, so they allowed a sect genius to participate in war.”
It could be said that sect geniuses were the foundation of a country and proved vital in giving support to a country after fully growing up.
If such a young genius died on the battlefield, it would be considered a big loss for any country!
“Attack!”
Tang State army also responded with thundering battle cries and the two assistant generals, along with their troops, rushed forward to stop the approaching army!
However, this canyon was too narrow for a large scale battle to take place.
“Do you want to kill the enemy?”
In such a scenario, Long Yu suddenly felt his dragon spear trembling in his hand.
The Nine Hidden Dragon Spear was used to being used in battles, and at this moment, a familiar scene of battle made it shiver with excitement!
“Alright then, such being the case, I will use these Mongolian soldiers’ lives to practice my spear skill, Kill Ten Thousand People!”
A vicious look appeared in his eyes as Xuan qi began to circulate within his meridians and immediately stimulated the Demon Wings to open up. His figure left an afterimage as it suddenly turned into a streamer of light and rushed toward the front line!
Both assistant generals were stunned by this scene.
“That disciple, how can he move so fast? Damn, he is courting death!”
“He is so arrogant and does not know the horror of war.”
“That boy is very fast and coming this way, let’s kill him first!”
Tang soldiers were shocked by this scene but Mongolian army grabbed this opportunity and sent out two of its assistant generals to slaughter this brave young genius. Their main motive was to lower the morale of the Tang army by killing their young genius!
“Eagle Zhenling, suppression!”
At this moment, Bu Xing had already clashed with the senior general and an explosive battle was going on between them. The explosions caused by their attacks were producing painful echoes and the snow and ice debris was also blurring the vision of the soldiers.
Long Yu was facing two assistant generals, each at Zhenling second layer, but was not at all scared rather he finally got the opportunity he was waiting for!
“Little brother, come back quickly!”
The two assistant generals of Tang army shouted out of worry as they could not allow a sect genius to die on the battlefield and that too in their presence. If Long Yu died here then they would forever be treated as good for nothings!
However, Long Yu simply did not care because as long as Bu Xing was keeping that senior general busy, no one else in the Mongolian army posed a threat to him.
