February 15th, Mallord Plains.
As the sky begins to rise, the morning sun seems to be waving its eagerness to drive away the last severe cold of late winter. However, it is still like an immature child, and its indiscriminate and noisy style is not enough to provide for 200,000 horses. Warm enough. Perhaps it was the chill that lay in the hearts of these people that completely blocked this weak provocation. Now they only have the passion for killing in their eyes, and they are repeating in their minds how to penetrate the opponent's chest with the sharp blade in their hands. The cold wind blew by, just to test the murderous intent of both parties. However, after taking a closer look, he felt discouraged, so he only dared to scrape twice as a sign.
Even so, it still caused the white gold lion's head flag with ink background to flutter in the south, and the red vulture flag with gold patterns in the north.
On the side of the Yafei Empire, Governor Yuanyasu led the army in the front, King Kelman held the central army to support him, and Earl Philip, uncharacteristically, stayed at the rear as a reserve army. On the top of the city of Yiling Bernard Castle, Prince Reza was watching the situation closely with binoculars. The elite Maine troops in the city were waiting in formation, waiting for an order to rush out of the city.
On the Tingxiao Empire side, Marshal Jiuzhan looked coldly at the Yafei army that was waiting in full formation, and the Zhu Yan in his hand was already exuding a cold killing intent. The Tingxiao army behind him has been stationed in front of the mountain city for so long, and the fighting spirit has long been unstoppable. Today, they must have a life-and-death battle with the opposite party before they can leave the Malode Plain.
"Brothers, these Tingxiao people across the way have raised their weapons and invaded our borders and slaughtered my people. How can we easily let them go back?" King Kelman roared loudly, and then drew out the sword from his waist and said, "Look "Jun", the golden light suddenly appeared, and the swimming dragon appeared.
"Tell them to never come back!" Governor Yuanyasu immediately drew out the sword from his waist and followed the king's words to boost morale. Today he learned that he would lead the front army to attack, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He originally thought that His Majesty would let Earl Philip serve as the vanguard, but he did not expect that he would take on this important task. The formation of troops made him overjoyed. You must know that it is easiest to make achievements in a position such as a pioneer general.
Of course, Yuan Yasu's loyal fans were even more ecstatic. They thought that following the Governor was indeed the right thing, and now they had the upper hand in earning military merit. None of the members of Yuanyasu's group expected that such a good thing would fall in front of them so easily.
"There is no return! There is no return! There is no return!" Yafei shouted in unison.
Behind Governor Yuanyasu, the royal cavalry charging into the battle had all drawn out their swords, and raised their shiny sharp blades high again and again in response to the roars.
Then the "Wang Jun" sword in King Kelman's hand fell, and the flag officer next to him waved the flag in his hand. Suddenly, the horns in the south of the plain sounded and the drums shook the sky.
When Yuanyasu heard the sound of the charging horn, his eyes glared and he yelled: "Brothers, come and follow me to kill these ambitious Tingxiao people!" He then galloped away on horseback and waved his sword.
Twenty thousand royal cavalry followed closely behind, and for a moment smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sound of iron hoofs seemed to tear the plain apart.
Jiu Zhan looked coldly at the oncoming Yafei cavalry, with Zhu Yan pointing straight ahead in his hand, "Brothers, the opportunity you have been waiting for for many days has come, let me kill these Yafei people!"
The Tingxiao position to the north also immediately erupted into a roaring sound of drums. I saw a burly man taking a deep breath and blowing on the giant conch horn that was as tall as two people. In an instant, the low and melodious sound of the horn echoed in the battlefield, as if it completely aroused these Tingxiao people. murderous intent.
"Kill!" Marshal Jiuzhan led Tingxiao's elite cavalry and rushed out of the formation. These more than 30,000 Tingxiao cavalry are all wearing heavy red armor. When viewed from above the battlefield, they look like fierce phoenixes spreading their wings and bursting into wild flames.
The royal cavalry of the Yafei Empire has silver fans spread out with fan bones protruding in all directions.
In addition to the Maine elite, the two sides should represent the top cavalry of the two countries.
The deafening sound of horse hooves shook the earth and the earth. The crossbowmen on both sides had already set up their formations, waiting for the other side's cavalry to enter the shooting range.
But when Yafei ordered the flag officer to change his posture, the crossbowman leader shouted loudly: "Crossbow, release!"
Tingxiao was not to be outdone and responded with a hail of arrows.
Governor Yuanyasu looked at the rain of arrows that was about to fall and smiled contemptuously. I saw a beautiful figure in lace clothes jumping up behind him. The woman's staff spread out and a curved top immediately protected the head of Yafei's cavalry. Thousands of crossbow arrows shot by Tingxiao people were directly blocked by the top of the arc.
Governor Yuanyasu looked at the figure of the female magician in mid-air, with a proud face on his face, and shouted to everyone around him: "Let's go, follow me!"
Jiu Zhan glanced at the dense array of arrows shooting towards him, kicked off his saddle, and flew out. Zhu Yan held a sword in his hand, and the jujube light on the sword instantly spread across the battlefield. The knights on both sides were dazzled by the light. This sword slashed through the air, like a sudden appearance of a giant, and most of the crossbow arrows coming from the south were chopped down.
"Oh? This Jiu Zhan looks quite capable." Master Piro beside Kelman whispered in surprise.
Kelman shook Wang Jun's hand and looked coldly at the battle situation in front of the formation.
"Bang! Bang!" The horses from both sides collided hard, and there were muffled sounds and shouts of killing. The cavalry on both sides pulled up two strong winds while galloping. Now the two winds are entangled together. By the way, you can watch the horsemanship skills of the knights on both sides up close.
But after Jiu Zhan's sword was struck, his figure was still standing, and the second sword had already been thrust out, heading directly towards the woman in the blouse. He knew that the greatest threat now was the female magician.
"Don't hurt my daughter!" Governor Yuankang saw Jiu Zhan heading towards Juan Yun, jumped into the air, raised his sword and faced him.
Jiu Zhan didn't seem to take Yuan Kang seriously. Zhu Yan's hand was like a dragon swimming around in a circle. He hurriedly closed it, slowly twisted it, and then picked it up. In just a few moves, Yuan Kang was forced to take a few steps back.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yuan Kang and Jiu Zhan were fighting, Juan Yun had already finished reciting the high-level magic, and a pillar of flame rose up into the sky and swept directly towards Jiu Zhan in the air.
Jiu Zhan glanced at his feet lightly and said contemptuously in his heart: "You may not even need half of your cultivation to deal with this father and daughter."
"A drop in the ocean!" Jiu Zhan shouted softly, twisted his wrist downwards and struck out with the sword. The sword continued to spin in the air, turned over and stabbed back. The jujube light swept out a whirlwind, and immediately split the flame pillar under his feet into two halves, and turned around The sword intent struck directly at Yuan Yasu and his daughter.
When Juan Yun saw the astonishing power of Jiu Zhan's sword, he immediately protected Yuan Kang. She raised the staff in her hand and kept chanting, and the surrounding area began to be filled with hurricanes, flying sand and turning rocks. This is the "Crazy Force Field" she used in the Pillow Sword Club.
"Father, step back." Juan Yun said softly, and Yuan Kang behind her stepped back a few feet knowingly.
The sword sank into the force field, and Juan Yun immediately felt a powerful force moving through the storm. She had to increase her magic power, otherwise she would not be able to decompose the sword intention at all.
Jiu Zhan looked at the sword intent being broken down little by little by the force field, showing a slightly surprised look, and laughed: "Oh, Yuankang, you girl is more capable than you."
"However, it's not of much use." Jiu Zhan looked ferocious, "Look at this sword - Xian Hongnangui."
But he saw the Zhu Yan "Zhi" sword in his hand, moving horizontally from left to right. The sword's intention was like a wild goose flapping its wings, moving thousands of miles in one move.
This fierce sword move directly broke into the crazy force field of smoke and sand. Juan Yun saw that the momentum was not right, and quickly withdrew the magic in his hand to escape. However, how could this red tail escape so easily? The sword intent struck directly at the back of Juan Yun's neck.
With a "ding" sound, Juan Yun turned around and looked back. It was Yuan Yasu who blocked the sword intention with his sword. The long sword made of diamond-copper ore in his hand was immediately cut into two pieces. Without any pause, the sword's intention penetrated directly into Yuanyasu's chest, cutting a clean gash in his exquisitely carved breastplate. Thanks to his breastplate, which was also made of diamond copper ore, the general saved his life. If the sword intent were just a few points deeper, it would have cut open his heart. Yuankang has taken "fake as foreign objects" to the extreme.
"Pfft" Governor Yuanyasu spat out a mouthful of old blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"Father!" Juan Yun immediately came over to support Yuan Kang. She looked at the injury on her father's chest and panicked for a moment.
The knights on both sides were currently locked in a stalemate. She looked down at the battle situation, and her father's cronies were unable to come to the rescue at this time.
"Little girl, don't be distracted during the battle." Jiu Zhan said with a faint smile, and Zhu Yan stabbed him with another sword in his hand.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuan Kang and his daughter were no match for Jiu Zhan, but Kelman just said nothing and looked on with cold eyes, as if he didn't care at all about the life and death of his pioneer general.
"Let's go!" Yuan Kang was always staring at Jiu Zhan. He pushed Juan Yun aside and blocked him with the broken sword in his hand.
"Father!" Juan Yun yelled, and when she turned around to look, the light flowing in Zhu Yan's sword had completely covered her father.
"Ah!" Yuan Yasuo's cry of pain could be heard in the air.
Jiu Zhan cut off both of Yuan Kang's forearms with this sword strike. Even so, he still had no intention of giving up. It was not until another cut was made on Yuan Kang's chest that he took back the Zhu Zhu in his hand. Disgusted.
A pair of severed hands, holding a broken sword, fell into the battlefield below.
The Yafei royal cavalry, who were engaged in a fierce battle, were shaken for a moment when they saw that their general was injured. No one expected that Marshal Ting Xiao's strength would be so terrifying. Governor Yuanyasu was fighting two against one, and he was hit hard by the opponent. It was simply unbelievable.
Now there was no time left for Juan Yun to mourn. She tapped her staff lightly and jumped into the air to catch the seriously injured Yuan Kang.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful. It's because my father is greedy for merit." Governor Yuanyasu said in his voice while lying in his daughter's arms. At this time, the color on his face was gone, and the two severed limbs were still bleeding happily. .
"Father, what should we do now?" Juan Yun asked anxiously.
"Yes, Yuan Kang, what do you want me to do with you?" Jiu Zhan landed not far from the father and daughter. He looked at Yuan Kang with interest, "How about surrendering to me?" ? Look at you like this now, what’s the point of continuing to fight?”
"Bah! You are delusional! Am I the one who just lives in vain?" Yuan Kang spat at Jiu Zhan. He wanted to struggle to get up, only to realize that his hands were missing, which only increased the pain. He gritted his teeth and glared at Jiu Zhan with hatred.
Juan Yun was once again protecting Yuan Kang at this time. She stared at Jiu Zhan, the anger in her eyes gushing out. However, her hand holding the staff was trembling after all, and Jiu Zhan could see this clearly. No wonder Juan Yun, after all, facing an opponent with such terrifying strength, anyone would be a little timid. Especially for a young girl like her who is new to the battlefield, it is quite good to have such determination.
"You're a pretty brave girl," Yuanyasu said in praise, twitching the corners of his lips, "It's just that the heat is a bit off."
"Who would have thought that the dignified marshal of the Tingxiao Empire would actually have trouble with a little girl? You have the ability to come at me!" Yuan Kang couldn't even stand up at this time, so naturally he couldn't push away his daughter who was protecting him. He had no choice but to use words to provoke Jiu Zhan.
"If I really had trouble with her, she would have died a long time ago. Why would she still be here listening to your nonsense?" Jiu Zhan said coldly, "You old thing has half a life left at most, and I won't be able to live for a few days even if you surrender." . What do you think if I capture your good daughter and take her back as a concubine?"
"You!" Yuan Kang was so angry that Jiu Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood, his chest still heaving. If, as Jiu Zhan said, Yuan Kang only had half his life left at this time, then he would be so angry that he would have to lose another half of that half.
Juan Yun held the staff tightly in his hand and looked at Jiu Zhan warily. At this time, she no longer cared about the verbal humiliation of the other party. She could only hear the sound of her father vomiting blood behind her. She wanted to turn around and take care of him, but she was afraid that Jiu Zhan would attack again, so she did not dare to take any action.
In fact, her strength is far different from Jiu Zhan, and Jiu Zhan doesn't care at all what she does.
"That's all. Seeing the deep love between your father and daughter really makes me feel bad. Let's do this. I'll send you to die together to save you the trouble." Jiu Zhan said coldly. He was also a cheerful person, showing no pity for the beauty, and the Zhu Yan in his hand was stabbing towards Jun Yun.
Juan Yun immediately put a physical shield in front of him, but this kind of magic was useless against Jiu Zhan's sword moves. This was what Juan Yun expected, so she took a few steps back lightly, frowning and reciting a spell.
After Zhu Yan broke through the shield, he flew straight into Jun Yun's throat. Yuan Kang, who was standing by, had his heart in his throat. He also wanted to block the sword for his daughter, but he couldn't get up no matter what, so he had to Watching with wide eyes.
However, this time there was a sense of determination in Juan Yun's eyebrows, and the staff in her hand directly faced Zhu Yan who was full of murderous intent. A small purple-blue light emitted from the top of her staff, first at the tip of the sword, and then along the sword body and clinging to Jiu Zhan's palm.
Jiu Zhan, who was hit by this magic, frowned. He looked at the circle of purple thin electricity on his wrist, locking him like shackles. What surprised him was that bit by bit his life began to leave his body. Was absorbed by this weird purple electricity.
"What kind of magic is this?" Jiu Zhan asked angrily, glaring at the girl in front of him. Apparently he was aware of the power of this magic.
"What? Are you scared?" Juan Yun mocked, maybe she didn't realize it, but at this time her lips were bloodless and her face was frighteningly pale.
It turns out that her magic is driven by consuming one's own life, and the life of those hit by the magic will be sucked away. As long as this magic is allowed to absorb for a while, the purple lightning that is moving back and forth will be like a living creature, sucking Juan Yun and Jiu Zhan into two skeletons alive.
"Madman." Jiu Zhan looked at Juan Yun and cursed. He didn't want to die with her, so he immediately raised the two fingers of his left hand and pointed at the right wrist that was entangled with purple electricity. He felt that the purple electricity had absorbed a lot of life from the two of them.
But after all, Jiu Zhan's cultivation is deeper. I saw him let out a soft drink, then inserted his two fingers a little deeper, almost touching his own artery, thus crushing the purple magic.
When Juan Yun saw this, she immediately stopped the flow of magic power, otherwise she would be sucked dry.
Yuanyasu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was fine.
"That's right, there is such a trick to suppress the situation." Jiu Zhan smiled and nodded in admiration, then his face changed, he suddenly turned around and stabbed the defenseless Governor Yuan Kang directly with his sword.
But Juan Yun's mind was in a daze at this time, and he couldn't use any strength. He didn't have time to help, and he watched his father being pierced through the chest with a sword. The chilling Zhu Yan ruthlessly nailed Yuan Kang to the Malode Plain.
Governor Yuan Yasu raised his arm without a palm with difficulty, and the broken bones were clearly exposed. He looked at his daughter who was not far away with concern. He seemed to have a thousand words to say but could not explain a single sentence. He was reluctant to close his eyes. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to go with the wind.
Juan Yun stared at the scene in front of her with her mouth open, her mind going blank. She couldn't believe what she saw. She stared blankly at her father's last look, and for a moment she couldn't make a sound.
This is how the life of a powerful official in the Yafei Empire ended.
Most of Yuanyasu's subordinates scattered in every corner of the battlefield also saw this scene, and they were forcing themselves to accept the absurdity in front of them. In the morning, this group of people were still gathering behind Yuan Yasu, thinking freely about getting promoted and getting rich, but before noon, Yuan Yasu was already dead.
King Kelman still looked at the situation on the battlefield to the north calmly and said nothing. Count Philippe, who was commanding the rear army, also saw Yuanyasu's death with a telescope at this time, with a calm expression on his face.
Prince Resa, Yuan Yasu's political enemy for many years, did not have any expression of relief on his face at this time. He seemed to be watching an unimportant supporting character die without any suddenness, without any ripples in his heart.
"Your Majesty is really cunning and cunning, so he used Jiuzhan's hand to trick Yuan Yasu to death?" Archbishop Herod next to Reza said with a smile.
"It's not easy for a fool like Yuanyasu to survive to this day." Resa sighed, "By the way, have all your troops been transferred over?"
"Already assembled, just behind your elite Maine troops." Herod replied.
Reza nodded.
Jiu Zhan coldly pulled Zhu Yan out of Yuan Kang's body. He looked at the distraught girl in front of him and instantly lost interest in killing her.
"Let's go." Jiu Zhan said expressionlessly.
When Juan Yun, who was lying on the ground, heard this, he immediately got up with malicious eyes, raised his staff and struck at Jiu Zhan.
Jiu Zhan shook his head helplessly, grabbed the staff that was about to hit his head, and held the sword in his other hand. The Zhu Yan in his hand directly pierced Juan Yun's abdomen.
But the girl seemed not to feel the pain, and still walked forward with the sword on her head. She abandoned her staff, raised her two bloody hands, and persistently tried to pinch Jiu Zhan's neck.
Marshal Tingxiao caught the hollowness in the girl's ferocious eyes and knew that she was determined to die. He sighed helplessly: "Why bother..."
So he tapped Jun Yun on the forehead with the staff he grabbed, and the girl fainted immediately.
