Chapter 353
The family came to the main hall of the Jiang Mansion.
The dynasty’s troops had retreated. The Jiangs already had a number of the casualties the Southwind Ridge had suffered.
“One hundred and three men died. Among the living, no one is wounded.” Jiang Tianxiong sounded full of anger. That only meant one thing—the troops had killed whomever they’d seen.
Fortunately, they only advanced to the periphery of the Southwind Ridge. Otherwise, even more people would have died.
“The Xia Dynasty is treating us mountain people like dogs!” Jiang Wentian said angrily.
Jiang Qingyu said, “Father, Tianxiong, keep taking our men into the mountain city, in case anything goes wrong.”
“Why? Haven’t they retreated already?”
He thought Jiang Qingyu was at most a Venerable of the lowest level, since the latter had been captured by the Black Dragon City. How hard it had been didn’t matter.
But since it wasn’t an honorable thing to use poison, the Black Dragon City didn’t share this information with the emperor. By that time, it was even less possible, since the whole city had been eliminated. That led to the emperor’s most fatal mistake.
The news should come soon. The Southwind Ridge should have been eliminated, the emperor looked towards the door and thought.
In the capital, the news of the troops attacking the Southwind Ridge had spread quickly, since the Southwind Ridge was Jiang Chen’s hometown, and he had killed the Third Prince in the capital half a year before.
Although the Xia Dynasty had announced they wouldn’t hold him accountable, judging from the current situation, they wouldn’t let it go.
But why?
When people were bearing this question in mind, the news of the elimination of the Black Dragon City also spread, as fast as the wind.
People didn’t believe it at the beginning.
The Black Dragon City had been there for almost 1,000 years. Their ancestors had killed a dragon. That was how they had earned fame. Even though they weren’t as powerful as before, they were still a first-class force in the dynasty.
It was impossible to have eliminated them so easily.
The battle should at least have lasted for a few days. Even if the Black Dragon City had been at a disadvantage, they would have tried their best to defend their city and ask for reinforcements.
But there hadn’t been a single sign before their elimination. The only possibility was that it had been done in the short time by an extremely powerful man.
Nevertheless, when they had learned it was Jiang Chen alone who had eliminated the Black Dragon City, everyone thought it was a joke, a rumor.
“What’s that?!”
Someone suddenly saw that over the imperial palace there were forty-odd giant columns falling from the sky.
It was horrifying that when these columns made contact with the great defensive tactical formation of the imperial palace, they weren’t affected even a bit. They pierced through the formation. The damage they caused even disabled it.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
They also heard the Devastator rotating over the capital.
