Chapter 252 - Old Official Surrenders
Zong Shou also recognized this person, and like Hu Qianqiu, he had a deep impression.
The wind bear race leader, Chai Yuan, was 4th strongest person in Gantian Mountian after Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei.
His body was muscular like a Mountian, and his energy was like the ocean. When he stepped out from the formation, even with ten thousand feet between them, it caused Zong Yuan and the others to become serious.
Beside him followed 2 slightly younger wind bear race males. They should be juniors of Chai Yuan, and their strength wasn’t bad. There was also one more around 40 who looked handsome. Even though his cultivation was strong, his body had some specialties of the fox race.
This was the sky fox face grand elder Zong Ming Shi, and he was looking over with a dark and stunned expression. His face was barely keeping calm, only from his trembling arms, one could see that he was nervous.
Chai Yuan stared around fiercely. Even when he told them to stop, they didn’t have any intention to. Still, a group of soldiers stepped forward in an orderly manner through the ruins.
More of the machinery was being assembled. There were a few moveable trebuchets which were moved by the east city army over.
Chai Yuan was extremely frantic, suppressing it down in his heart. He looked right at the building that Zong Shou was at.
“Is the prince there? Can you meet with me to discuss?”
Zong Shou smiled, not hesitating. He directly got down the building and got onto a mount, coming to the front of the formation. However, he didn’t get too close, roughly 4 thousand feet away he stood still.
Chai Yuan gave out a complicated expression as he observed Zong Shou. He was uncomfortable, then emotional, then pitiful, and then filled with regret. After, he kept all his emotions and spoke, “What is your purpose for commanding the army here. Why are tens of thousands of troops pulling out their swords and arrows?”
“Naturally, it is to have a war with you!”
Zong Shou smiled, answering directly, “If I win, I’ll set fire, kill, and destroy your wind bear race!”
The moment he said that everyone hundreds of thousands of feet around was silent. Even the soldiers on Zong Shou’s side were at a loss.
Chai Yuan’s face flashed green. The 2 behind him were furious. Just as they wanted to charge in front, Chai Yuan reached out and blocked them. The last bit of warmth in this race leader’s eyes disappeared, expressionlessly cupping his fist, “My wind bear race is a part of Gantian Mountain, a subordinate of the ruler! How many of us died in the ruler’s 10-year conquest of the west. How much did they contribute? What reason and what right does the prince have to wipe us out? Aren’t you afraid the Monster race will turn against you?”
“Cough. You are a subordinate of the ruler, and the wind bear race did indeed achieve a lot of merits, but what does that have to do with me?”
Zong Shou lazily scoffed, retorting sentence after sentence, “As for my reason, what reason do I need? I only know your wind bear race isn’t under me and will be under Zong Shi. To slay a person, we must first cut off his wings and break his legs. There have been so many past preferences am I right Uncle Chai? If you aren’t under Zong Shi, then what do you have to fear? As for my power corrupting my heart, that’s just bullshit.”
Chai Yuan was startled, but after ten breaths he calmed himself down. Scoffing coldly, pressing the giant ax and saying coldly, “You can recruit Zong Yuan, cause waves at Jiefu City, and earn tens of times of beast crystals. I originally thought you had some skill, but this is it? In 3 years at Lianhai College, you only learned such vicious methods? Ignorant child, do you how many will die if a war starts? A million men war is enough to destroy your father’s Gantian Mountain? Within 5 provinces, how many cities will take the chance to rise? Our wind bear race won’t let anyone rule over us. With just your 80 thousand randomly gathered troops to attack us, what a joke!”
“So Uncle Chai also knows this Gantian Mountain is my father’s work.”
Zong Shou broke out in a laugh, thinking that this was the typical case of allowing officials to kill and set the fire but not allowing civilians to light candles in their houses. Did those people really think that he would not fight them for fear of harming the innocent? That he would fall for Zong Shi’s thread of destroying the city?
Casually shaking his head, his mocking tone only increased, “If I’m not the Monster king, what does Gantian Mountain not existing have to do with me? If I can ascend, at most I’ll just rebuild it. If my father is looking from above, he would think that even if Gantian Mountain is destroyed by me, he wouldn’t be angry. On the contrary, if I’m useless and let others snatch it, he might be furious. Uncle Chai, don’t you think I make sense?”
The expression of the people opposite alternated between green and white. His tone turned calm,” My 80 thousand might not be a match for your wind bear race, but we will go all out to suck dry every bit of your blood! No matter if they are elite or weak, we will let them die such that you can’t stand up and rise up anymore. I want you to be unable to have face to see your ancestors after you die! I don’t care if you call me dark and vicious or stupid. Anyways, before I die, I’ll go all out!”
Chai Yuan’s face finally changed, a deep chill charged right at him. Even the 2 people being him their anger disappearing, only an ashen white face remained.
Chai Yuan unknowingly released his ax, staying silent for a moment before taking in a deep breath, “Are the prince’s words true? You really don’t care about the lives of the entire city?”
“yes!”
Zong Shou yawned like he was really tired, patting Zong Yuan’s shoulder, “Uncle Chai why not let’s have a bet. My cousin’s 10 thousand cavalry can let your wind bear race blood run dry!”
He waved his whip and ordered the horse to turn back, “I’ll give you a hundred breaths. Whether you choose to be annihilated or cut off Zong Ming’s head and call me your ruler, it is up for you. Whether we fight or not is your decision!”
Zong Ming’s face was devoid of blood at that moment, his face white like paper. His eyes were filled with fear. 30 minutes ago, he thought that he had finally gotten Chai Yuan to help. He was really delighted and praised himself for having such a great mouth.
30 minutes later, Zong Shou has easily caused him to enter such a desperate situation!
He was using power to suppress and death to take hostage. How was Zong Shou so vicious?
Chai Yuan’s expression was one of loss. First, killing intent exploded out, but when he looked at Zong Gang who was coldly laughing as well as Zong Yuan and Li Luo who were fully prepared, his heart turned cold.
Zong Gang, whose strength was on his level along with purple lightning spear Zong Yuan was enough to beat Zong Ming and him.
Apart from that, the other 7 meridians middle-aged man beside Zong Shou seemed strong too.
That’s right! People lightning spear was an unparalleled general seed. A few days ago he led 3 thousand to trample over an army.
Now, he was leading the more elite and stronger black fox iron cavalry. The cavalry under him also increased to 10 thousand.
Although this was an alley battle, could his wind bear tribe hold on?
He was startled as he looked at the back view of Zong Shou. This prince was really different from his father. His actions were firm and intense. Who knew how far he would go?
What a joke. They thought that Gantian Mountain would have no future in his hands, but he forgot that he also had the ability to destroy the city.
Zong Shi threatened to flip the tables while the prince directly did it. Even if he overturned everything, he didn’t care.
He hesitated for a moment, but then Chai Yuan lost all his focus saying, “Prince, please stop. Our wind bear race chooses to be neutral!”
Zong Shou scoffed coldly and showed no intention of turning his head.
Chai Yuan sighed, getting off his horse and bowing, “This matter is hugely important. Can the prince give my race some time to consider.”
Zong Shou still didn’t bother and returned to the formation.
Zong Gang laughed outright instantly when he saw that. Hu ZHongyuan always said that the prince was smart and good at martial arts. He was always silently despising. At this moment, he finally felt for the first time that his words made sense.
He felt extremely delighted and happy. To be able to suppress and make Chai Yuan feel lost? His head was so hard to get. Zong Gang directly waved his hand and pointed forwards, “There are 80 more breaths. Today, if your wind bear race doesn’t surrender, we will wipe you out! Will you surrender?”
The tens of thousands of soldiers lined up were originally extremely nervous. But when they saw the wind bear race private army slowly panic, their morale rose and they hollered.
“…your wind bear race, if you don’t surrender we will wipe you out! Will you surrender or fight?”
The shout of tens of thousands instantly spread over tens of miles.
That Chai Yuan closed his eyes, hiding the bitterness in his eyes before sighing.
“Prince, please show mercy. Zong Ming is the elder of the sky fox king race and also my guest. I can’t bear to and fear to kill him. I can only capture him and let you deal with him!”
When he spoke, Chai Yuan pulled his ax and a snow bright ax light chopped down behind.
Zong Ming was prepared, he jumped up, and his body split into ten as he fled. In mid-air, he waved out numerous whip images, locking down a hundred feet around him.
However, the 2 young bear race members behind Chai Yuan also waved their axes, the knife glow shining, chopping away a large half of the illusions, leaving tens of feet long whip.
Chai Yuan scoffed coldly, wind wrapping around him as he chased Zong Ming.
The tip of the ax gave rise to a huge attractive force and sucked at Zong Ming.
In mid-air, who knew how many more axes he waved out. The people around were dazzled, astral energy seeping about and numerous broken whip pieces fell to the ground.
When the whip image was destroyed, Chai Yuan already captured that Zong Ming. Then, he stepped forwards a thousand feet, half kneeling in front of both armies.
“Subordinate Chai Yuan surrenders! The wind bear race was first the ruler’s subordinate and am also yours!”
