Chapter 372: Chapter 146: Spiritual Energy Vision! The Black Lotus Faction Leader!_4
In the barracks, one after another, the Dafeng Iron Cavalry clad in armor had already gathered. There was excitement in the soldiers’ eyes, as well as fear.
They understood in their hearts that they were about to head to the battlefield, a chance to distinguish themselves and achieve glory, but also a potential fate of becoming lifeless bones on the battlefield!
“The great battle with the Ferocious Wolf Clan is about to begin again… We can only hope to slay all the enemies!”
Many soldiers prayed in their hearts. Among them were veterans who had participated in the previous bloody confrontations, well aware that the fierce battles between the two sides would inevitably result in rivers of blood, continuing until one or both sides suffered heavy casualties before the fighting would cease.
No one wished to die, so they must exert every effort to kill the enemy!
“The State Governor and Commander Hong have arrived!”
At this moment, the troops also witnessed the arrival of Su Changkong and Pei Yang. Su Changkong, wearing a full set of star-patterned golden armor, looked majestic and attracted everyone’s attention, filling many soldiers with excitement and their eyes with admiration.
The former Hong Zhenxiang had once galloped across battlefields, the spirit of their army. With his leadership, they believed they could surely win this battle!
On the reviewing stand, Pei Yang called out loudly, “My comrades, the Ferocious Wolf Clan from Sunset Plains is stirring once more. It is our duty to defend our homes! I will go to the battlefield with you all, and together we will repel all the invading enemies!”
“Slay all the enemies!”
“Slay all the enemies!”
Tens of thousands, nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, responded in unison. Their morale soared like a rainbow, and their shouts shook the sky!
Like the last time, Pei Yang would go to Sunset Fortress to supervise the battle. Even though he would not personally enter the fray, his presence would boost the morale of his own side!
Even Su Changkong couldn’t help but be infected by the atmosphere, a surge of heroism rising in his heart, feeling as if he could shatter any opposing army, no matter its size!
“Depart!”
The crowd mounted their horses, banners fluttering in the wind. A vast number of Dafeng Iron Cavalry members left the barracks and Dafeng State City, heading towards Sunset Prairie.
In Sunset Prairie’s Sunset Fortress, two hundred thousand Dafeng Iron Cavalry were usually stationed year-round. Now, facing the army of the Ferocious Wolf Clan, they needed to call troops and dispatch generals to gather their forces!
Su Changkong rode at the very front of the procession atop a majestic black horse.
“Clatter, clatter, clatter!”
The sound of horse hooves thundered. The Iron Riders, like a torrent, sped along the streets, while passersby stepped aside, casting looks of awe and veneration. They were well aware that many of these departing soldiers would return wrapped in horsehide.
“Ah… this is a war with no victory, no end in sight,” sighed Pei Yang in his heart. As the governor of Dafeng State, he saw more, understood more, and realized that the bloody struggle against the Ferocious Wolf Clan was nothing more than a game between the higher echelons of both sides, its purpose merely to shift internal conflicts and maintain internal unity and stability.
The steel-like torrent of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry headed towards Sunset Prairie, crossing the official roads and traversing mountains.
“Is the Sunset blood battle about to begin again…”
In a forest, three men watched the cavalry on the distant road that moved like a flood. One of them muttered to himself.
“Faction Leader, are we going to slaughter that Hong Zhenxiang?” asked a tall and thin man, licking his lips, his face full of anticipation as he stared at the distant troop of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry.
The man known as the Faction Leader was enormous. His rough skin and knotted muscles, with long hair flowing freely and a giant axe on his back, made him look like a small giant. He stood there as if he had merged with the earth and sky, in Unity of Heaven and Man.
He stood there, unreachable to the others as if separated by a chasm, as if existing in a different dimension. His entire being exuded an aura of domineering presence, showy and profound, resembling an ancient Demon God.
The burly man like a Demon God, towering above the rest, felt killing Hong Zhenxiang would be effortless. However, it was imperative to allow Hong Zhenxiang to die valueably on the battlefield of the Sunset blood battle—his death a catalyst that would turn the tide of the battle into an uncontrollable explosion.
“Hong Zhenxiang, you’ve slain many of my brothers. Now I’ll let you live a bit longer… when the time comes… I will make sure you die a horrendous death!” The burly man grinned, his face filled with excitement and ferocity, impatient to show this so-called number one expert of Feng State City what true strength really was!
