Would the Southern Region soldiers save Fang Zhengzhi?
γγ
Clearly not .
γ
They were ordered to cooperate with the Demons and surround the Great Xia army at the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement . As such, even though they may not follow the orders of the young master of the Demons, they would not go against it .
γ
However, the soldiers from Feng Su did not represent the all of the soldiers of the Southern Range .
If there was a group that could go through both armies without being stopped . . .
γ
It would be Teng s.h.i.+sheng's 500 Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry .
γ
The Great Xia soldiers have seen Fang Zhengzhi command this group in battle . As such, they would not strike at the cavalry .
The Southern Region soldiers also knew better than to attack . The Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry were the elites of the Southern Region . They represented the authority of Princess Shan Yu .
From the moment the Southern Region soldiers appeared, Teng s.h.i.+sheng acted as though he was an outsider .
No one would attack his group .
Even though he was surrounded by Great Xia and Southern Region soldiers, he could confidently stay out of the fray .
γ
During this entire time, Teng s.h.i.+sheng had only done one thing . He had shadowed Fang Zhengzhi .
γγ
Like a wolf waiting for the opportune moment to strike .
Fang Zhengzhi's battle with Nangong Hao's battle was risky, so Teng s.h.i.+sheng did not interfere . When Fang Zhengzhi was slapped by Yan Xiu, a golden opportunity was presented to him .
However, Yan Xiu continued to guard Fang Zhengzhi afterward . This opportunity . . . lapsed .
γ
Then, Fang Zhengzhi had defeated s.h.i.+ Kou and got embroiled in a duel with Wu Ji . Teng s.h.i.+sheng was only in the Supernatural State, so he could not strike .
Wait!
He continued to wait .
He waited for Fang Zhengzhi to charge up the cliff . He never gave up, patiently waiting for his opportunity . He made sure that he was not too far away throughout the entire sequence .
When Fang Zhengzhi charged up the cliff, he chose to take up a position at the foot of the cliff . He could see Fang Zhengzhi if he raised his head .
Was it difficult?
It may have been difficult for others but it was no issue for the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry . All of the Southern Region soldiers opened up a path for them to pa.s.s through .
In truth, this had something to do with their status, but it had more to do with their stallions .
After all . . .
No one wanted to be too close to a ferocious Silver Horned Wolf .
As such, when the 500 Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry pa.s.sed through, no one dared to step within a two-meter radius .
Teng s.h.i.+sheng had been waiting for a long time .
Even though he was beginning to lose hope, he did not give up . After all, he was riding a Silver Horned Wolf and had its animalistic nature .
He was never going to lose sight of his goals .
"Aroo!" A loud roar rang out in the sky . At the same time, a huge figure leaped skyward as thousands watched on .
That figure leaped high up into the sky . Everyone on the ground could see it clearly .
Then . . .
The figure landed on the ground and began sprinting away without a moment's hesitation . It charged straight towards Feng Su, hundreds of equally hulking figures following behind .
γ
"Aroo!"
"Aroo!"
The beasts roared as they sped away, They were the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry .
Stunned! Dumbfounded!
At that moment, there was no other sound in the sky except for the roars of the beasts, the thunder, and the torrential rain .
γ
Everyone knew who was that figure who leaped into the sky .
Teng s.h.i.+sheng!
The leader of the 500 Silber Horned Wolf Cavalry .
The Southern Region soldiers always knew the cavalry as heroes and courageous soldiers . Why would they save Fang Zhengzhi?
All of them wondered to themselves . Then, they began to ask themselves where Teng s.h.i.+sheng was bringing Fang Zhengzhi .
γγ
Why would the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry run towards the entrance of Feng Su?
No one could answer their questions .
Neither would Teng s.h.i.+sheng . He began to scream commands at the soldiers around him, "Move aside, quickly! All of you, move aside!"
They could all hear that Teng s.h.i.+sheng was in a rush .
This was indeed the case . Even though he had managed to get his hands on Fang Zhengzhi, it did not mean that he would be able to escape .
"Yo!" A crisp voice could be heard above Teng s.h.i.+sheng as a huge shadow began circling overhead .
"Put down the shameless fella!" Ping Yang's voice could be heard .
"Don't bother about her, just run!" Teng s.h.i.+sheng ordered his cavalry without hesitation . Capturing Fang Zhengzhi was their true mission .
As for Ping Yang . . .
They did not have to worry about her . Feng Su was a narrow place and the Snow Wind Eagle would never be able to make its way in . The only thing it could do was circle overhead .
γ
"Yes, sir!" The 500 Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry replied in unison .
All of the Southern Region soldiers opened up a path for them . They could not stop the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry . They only listened to one person .
That person was . . .
Shan Yu!
γγ . . .
γ
At the entrance to the Icy Monkey Settlement, all of the soldiers continued to be rooted to the ground . That had all happened too quickly .
They were unable to respond in time .
γ
The fact was Fang Zhengzhi had been saved by Teng s.h.i.+sheng . They were speeding towards Feng Su at this very moment .
"He is now in the hands of the Southern Region . Father, what do we do now?" Xing Qingsui looked at Xing Yuanguo worriedly .
"It's still better than having him in the hands of the Demons . Take the Icy Monkey Settlement first . If we can win this battle, the Southern Region will no longer be the enemy," Xing Yuanguo's gaze turned icy . As the commander, he had to maintain his calm and composure .
"I understand!" Xing Qingsui nodded .
He could see the determination to kill Fang Zhengzhi in the eyes of the Demons . Thus, Fang Zhengzhi still had value to the Southern Region .
γ
As such . . .
Until he was no longer useful, Fang Zhengzhi's life should not be in much danger .
γ
"Kill!" Xing Yuanguo bellowed .
γγ
"Kill!"
γγ
"Kill!"
γγ" . . . "
All of the Great Xia soldiers, Mountain Breaking Army, and the Dragon Protection Squad sprung into action . They threw themselves in the direction of the gates of the Icy Monkey Settlement .
The Southern Region soldiers also began their defense .
However, without their general, they could not put up a resistance in the face of such a well-oiled killing machine .
γγ . . .
On the cliff, Yun Qingwu looked at the figure on Teng s.h.i.+sheng's back . She had been watching in from the beginning .
All of the Demon elites, as well as Bai Xing and Wu Ji, turned to look at Yun Qingwu . They were waiting for her orders .
γγ
However, Yun Qingwu did not give any .
γγ
From the moment she kicked Fang Zhengzhi off the cliff, she had not uttered a single word .
γ
The torrential rain of lightswords also stopped .
However, the rain itself did not stop . A white dress and a pink one danced in the wind, almost like two flowers in the rain .
"Aren't you going to chase after them?" Yun Qingwu finally spoke, almost as though she was talking to herself . However, everyone knew that Yun Qingwu's emotions were not stable .
"I do not want you to chase . " Chi Guyan's gaze also flickered towards the figure speeding away from them, as well as the circling Snow Wind Eagle overhead .
"I see . I understand . " Yun Qingwu followed Chi Guyan's gaze and saw the Snow Wind Eagle in the sky .
γ
"Are you leaving?" Chi Guyan looked at Yun Qingwu .
γγ
"Yes, what about you?"
γ
"Not right now . "
γγ
"If you don't leave now, it may not be convenient to leave next time . "
γ
"We can only know what will happen in the future when it happens . " Chi Guyan remained calm .
"Then . . . we will wait and see . " Yun Qingwu nodded lightly, then turned and walked down the cliff .
γ
"Wait and see . " Chi Guyan nodded, showing no intention of staying .
γγ . . .
Having lost their general in the heat of battle, the Southern Region's formation was broken and the outcome was all but determined .
The soldiers of the Southern Region may not be afraid of death, but that did not mean that they wanted to die .
γγ
When the deputies saw the general fall, all of the soldiers were in disarray . Finally, the gates to the Icy Monkey Settlement were breached by the Mountain Breaking Army .
The 50,000 strong Great Xia army rushed into the Icy Monkey Settlement, locking the Southern Region soldiers outside .
At this point, the Southern Region soldiers had two choices .
They could continue guarding the entrance to the Icy Monkey Settlement, or they could retreat through Feng Su .
γ
It did not take long for them to decide on the second option . After all, it was impossible for them to choose the first option .
They were out of rations!
That was the key factor .
Those soldiers rus.h.i.+ng out of the Icy Monkey Settlement would naturally not bring rations out with them!
The soldiers coming from Feng Su were also out of rations .
They had only brought enough rations for the duration of the battle . After all, they were coming for an ambush and could not carry so many rations .
γγ
Furthermore . . .
γ
The Icy Monkey Settlement had plenty of rations .
γ
Why would they bother bringing more?
The Southern Region soldiers had no rations, whilst the Great Xia soldiers had rations to last them a couple of years . As such, retreat was the only logical option .
"Retreat!"
All of the deputies gave the order to retreat, bringing the battle to an end . This was an intense battle with huge losses .
γγ
The soldiers began picking up the bodies of their fallen comrades .
Those bodies were disfigured beyond recognition and some were missing limbs . However, the Southern Region soldiers never left a body behind, even if it was just a limb .
Because . . .
This was the Southern Region .
This was a place that ferocious beasts roamed . A warrior could die on the battlefield, but they would never allow a comrade to be food .
γγ
The Southern Regions were considered barbaric .
They were brave, and they would never leave a fallen comrade on the battlefield . Even though they had lost, even though they were s.h.i.+vering from the cold . . .
γγ
They did not retreat quickly . On the contrary, their retreat was slow .
After they finished retreating, the gates to the Icy Monkey Settlement opened once again and wooden carts were rolled out . Armored bodies began to fill the carts .
However, other than bodies, the wooden carts were filled with armor and spears, which were scattered all over the battlefield .
As an army fighting in a foreign land . . .
The Great Xia soldiers had to conserve their resources so that they had enough to continue fighting .
γγ
As such, armor and spears were a necessity!
This was war .
The cold, cruel truth of war . War was brutal to both the victorious and the fallen .
Night fell and the rain stopped .
There were little streams forming in the ground as the smell of blood filled the air, lingering on despite the rain stopping .
"Aroo!" A crisp howl could be heard .
γγ
b.a.l.l.s of flames rose up from the Icy Monkey Settlement . That was the flame that carried the souls of the fallen back home .
"War, war, the brutal cruelties of war!" A voice rang out in the night, filled with anger and mourning .
However, the voice came from the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement, not from inside . This seemed rather strange .
γ
"The official is here, the war is over . " Another voice could be heard . This voice was rather confident and proud .
γ
"Mm, get the soldiers guarding the gates to open them!" A figure walked forward . He arrived at the entrance of the settlement and frowned as he saw the blood .
"Yes!" Another figure also walked forward . That was a middle-aged man in bright armor . He squinted as he looked up at the gates, his face filled with arrogance . γγ
