"You were all deceived by Zhou Cang. Now, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins.”
Feng Xingtian's words made the dozens of soldiers feel as if they had been pardoned. At this moment, how could they dare to have any thoughts of being unfaithful?
" Lord Sun, take five hundred men with me to lure the enemy out of the valley. Lord Fan, take an infantry battalion and ambush the enemy behind the mountain. Huang Liang, take four hundred men and lie in ambush at the valley entrance. Wait until half of the beastmen have gone in and cut them open. Yi 'er, I'll give you one hundred men to immediately gather the people in the valley and gather them all at the back of the mountain.”Feng Xingtian quickly gave out orders and pulled Yan Yi." Is there a problem?”
"Yes!" Yan Yi pursed her lips and looked at Feng Xingtian affectionately before leaving.
"You guys! Is there a problem?" Feng Xingtian turned his head and looked at the team that had gathered.
"No!" Thousands of people said excitedly.
Wherever Feng Xingtian's gaze went, everyone raised their chests. Even Sun Ce and Fan Li had solemn expressions.
"Let's go!" Feng Xingtian waved his hand, and the team rushed towards their targets.
"Looking at their lineup this time, there are about 3,000 orcs. This is all the elite troops in their area. We will lure them into the valley and rely on the terrain to stop them.”Feng Xingtian said to Sun Ce beside him as if he had forgotten what had just happened.
"Milord, will we not have enough troops?”Sun Ce was uncertain.
"Don't worry. As long as we can hold on for fifteen minutes, I guarantee that none of the Beastmen here will be able to escape. Soon, this place will truly be ours.”
" Sir…just now…" No matter what, Sun Ce had to give an explanation for his actions just now.
"Sun Ce, don't ever mention what happened just now again. We're all brothers.”Feng Xingtian extended his hand.
Sun Ce hesitated for a moment before quickly grabbing it. At this moment, he began to truly admire this mountain-like man in front of him.
"I've only just learned of Zhou Cang's plot, but I've long suspected it. Thus, when I came, I ordered Kaludo to secretly follow us with another two thousand men.”Feng Xingtian released his hand and comforted him.
A sense of powerlessness invaded Sun Ce. He could never guess what this man was thinking under his smiling appearance.
While they were talking, the high-pitched battle song of the orcs rang out. Although they were all experienced soldiers, their hands were trembling. If they fought against the orcs with a weak force, Long Qingying would only win a miserable victory.
The orcs quickly appeared in front of them. Feng Xingtian did not wait for them to get into formation. With an order, the 500 cavalrymen charged at the orcs.
The orcs who were unable to stop in time quickly got into formation after the initial chaos. However, just as they were confident that they could destroy the small group of human cavalry in front of them, they suddenly turned around and retreated into the valley.
"Gru!" The Orc commander waved his battle axe, and the three thousand orcs swarmed into the valley.
However, just as the team was halfway in, a large number of boulders and rolling logs flew down from the top of the valley. These were the defensive fortifications that Windwalk had instructed the construction of when he left.
The Beastmen hurriedly finished up the battle and attacked from both sides. Not long after, a large number of troops charged out of the valley. The Beastmen who entered the valley roared and rushed forward. They were about to attack the ambush at the entrance of the valley when they heard a battle cry behind them.
The panicked Beastmen hurriedly retreated with their tails as their heads. Outside the valley, a large number of human soldiers appeared. Under the lead of a burly man wielding a heavy sword, they flooded towards the Beastmen.
Immediately after, the ambush at the entrance of the valley also rushed down. This way, the Orc team was divided into two halves from the middle, and each half was fighting with almost twice the number of enemies.
Although this was the first time the new recruits were fighting under the leadership of Kaludo, the hatred of their families being destroyed made them even more valiant than the veterans. This was especially true for Kaludo, who was in the front. He wielded a wide heavy sword that was as tall as a person, and every time he attacked, he would provoke two or three orcs. It was a world of difference compared to the time when he led the villagers to fight against the orcs in the village.
Behind them, Yan Yi accompanied the trembling villagers as they waited in fear. This was their last place to live. If they were to be attacked by the orcs again, they would face an even crueler fate of slaughter.
In the valley, Feng Xingtian's battle hymn and Ka Luduo's greatsword formed a counter-force. Coupled with his black armor, it greatly boosted the morale of the humans.
Sun Ce, who was riding on his warhorse, waved his greatsword beside Feng Xingtian. He no longer knew what he was thinking, nor did he care about what would happen in the future. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill all the Beastmen in front of him.
He was so excited that he did not know that he had already followed Feng Xingtian into the encirclement of the Beastmen. He had just swung his sword to split open the head of a Bearman when he suddenly felt his body sink. The horse under him had already fallen to the ground with him.
After all, Sun Ce had been riding a horse for a long time. As soon as he felt that something was wrong, he immediately kicked his left leg hard and jumped high, just in time to split another orc in front of him.
He had just pulled out his sword when he heard the sound of the wind.”He stumbled forward, but he felt a chill on his back. An orc axe was about to cut him in half.
Ignoring the pain in his back, he swung his sword and cut the axe and the man in half.
The intense pain consumed his nerves. He only felt that his spine was exposed, and the pain slowed his speed. Another axe slashed over, almost cutting off his right hand that was holding the sword. The big sword also fell to the ground weakly.
"To think that I, Sun Ce, would actually capsize here today.”He smiled bitterly, his hopes completely shattered.
Sun Ce closed his eyes, but he heard a familiar roar.
When he opened his eyes, his body felt light and he was already on his horse.
" Sir…" After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Sun Ce had the urge to cry.
"Motherf * cker! I won't allow you to be glorious so quickly!”Feng Xingtian laughed loudly and casually chopped down a Beastman beside him. While killing the Beastman, he saw Sun Ce charging in with him from the corner of his eye, so he dragged him onto his horse at the critical moment.
"I'll let you have a taste of my creation!”Before Sun Ce fainted, this was the only sentence that echoed in his ears.
A dark light was emitted from the warsong. Feng Xingtian was using a move that he was getting more and more familiar with. He forcefully opened up a path of blood when he turned his horse.
After rushing to the back, Feng Xingtian threw the unconscious Sun Ce to the person beside him and once again brandished his saber to kill…
The battle lasted until noon. When Yan Yi saw Feng Xingtian, who was covered in blood, appear in front of her, she rushed forward to hug him without hesitation. The villagers behind cheered. Seeing Feng Xingtian meant victory.
After gathering the army, they checked the casualties. There were nearly a thousand, most of them new recruits. Although they won, Feng Xingtian's expression was very bad.
"Yi 'er, gather all the villagers to the cliff at the back of the mountain.”Yan Yi silently carried it out. She could tell that Feng Xingtian was in a bad mood.
"Today, we have engaged in our first battle, the battle to protect our homeland. I don't want to talk about the things that happened before the battle.”Feng Xingtian looked at the black mass of people in front of him. On the left were soldiers, and behind them were villagers." Since we came here a few months ago, we temporarily have a place to settle down. Not long after, we chased away the orcs here. Therefore, we have two choices in front of us. One is to protect this place for a long time, and the other is to return to the Imperial Capital.”
"Sir, you can't leave!" Feng Xingtian's words were interrupted by a voice. It was an old man among the villagers.
"Sir, we've been living in this area for a long time. When the orcs came to rob us, no one in the empire cared. When the orcs occupied this place, no one in the empire cared. Today, Sir chased away the orcs, and we offered our children to follow Sir. We didn't let them become soldiers to eat their pay, but to guard our homeland. Sir, I beg you.”The old man knelt down in tears.
"Lord, don't go." More than a thousand old, weak, women, and children slowly knelt down.
"Milord, you can't leave." The soldiers knelt down again. Most of them were new recruits recruited here.
Feng Xingtian closed his eyes, and the muscles on his face twitched. When he opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face again.
"Everyone, don't worry. I didn't say that I was leaving. This is because I grew up in the Jisai Prefecture, a small prefecture in the northernmost part of the empire. I grew up in the Anka Mountain, a large mountain in the northernmost part of the empire! Today, nearly a thousand of our brothers are sleeping here. They used their blood to dye the land they loved the most red! I, Feng Xingtian, solemnly swear: From now on, as long as we recover the land, it will be the last piece of land for the suffering people at the border of the Empire! This place did not belong to the orcs, and it would never belong to that irresponsible empire! Blood as proof!" Feng Xingtian raised his battle song and cut his finger, letting his blood drip onto the ground.
Thousands of people stood there quietly, not because they did not react, but because their blood was boiling.
Yan Yi, who was standing at the front, looked at Feng Xingtian with a mesmerized expression. With her special identity, she could smell the aura that Feng Xingtian emitted the most. Not everyone had…the power to rule!
"Blood as proof!" After a moment of silence, all the soldiers shouted in unison and cut their fingers in the same way.
Kaludo looked at the figure in front of him who was even taller than him. He was glad that he had met this person who could help him realize his dreams. If it was because of their special identities and their similar backgrounds that made them trust each other, then now, he had sincerely decided to follow this person!
"Now, I announce that we will establish a new army group, one that does not belong to the empire.”
Feng Xingtian waved his hand, and the scene immediately quieted down.
"An army that I dare say has never existed before.”A strange smile flashed across Feng Xingtian's face as he pulled Yan Yi over." I'll name it…the Beauty Legion.”
As soon as Feng Xingtian finished speaking, he saw everyone's mouth open wide, including Yan Yi's.
"Women are a gift from the gods of this world to humans. Beautiful women represent beauty and hope. Therefore, the founding purpose of our army is to let every man strive for a beautiful woman to accompany him, so that all the beautiful women here can have a happy and peaceful home.”Feng Xingtian said smugly. The image he had just established was immediately destroyed, and the young girls below were embarrassed. They thought that this commander was really interesting.
"Big brother…be serious!" Yan Yi said shyly.
As soon as she finished speaking, all the soldiers 'thunderous voices rang out in unison again." Beauty Legion!”
"Good! Hehe, let's work together!”
Feng Xingtian's words caused a commotion. The men all revealed knowing smiles, temporarily dispelling the sadness of their companions and loved ones.
Just like that, the unprecedented beauty army in the history of the continent began to take shape. Feng Xingtian was officially appointed as the general of the beauty army. In order to match the name, Yan Yi was elected as the representative of the army and the permanent general. However, she did not have much power. Because Yan Yi was kind and knowledgeable during the time she lived here, she was liked by everyone. Everyone here knew her, so her election was recommended by everyone.
Ka Luduo was the vice commander, and the 5300 soldiers were temporarily split into two 1000 cavalry units. Sun Ce was the captain of the 1000th cavalry unit, Huang Liang was the vice captain, and Fan Li was the captain of the 2000th cavalry unit. Then, a 100-cavalry commander with outstanding performance was chosen as the vice captain, and the cavalry unit was split to be under Feng Xingtian's command.
The entire team was busy for the entire afternoon. Everyone only came up with new numbers and flags for the team. Feng Xingtian had come up with the picture of a beautiful woman dancing on a saber, which was praised by everyone. There was no problem with the logistics, because the villagers in the valley and the castle provided for them. They could still support them for the time being. However, the reserve forces were limited. Although many people rushed to sign up, Feng Xingtian wanted to train these two thousand cavalry teams first. After all, there were no big enemies now.
Feng Xingtian felt a headache just looking at the military rules and rations of the troops. He handed them all over to Kaludo to handle slowly. After all, there was still a large amount of rations inside when they broke through the castle, enough to feed so many people.
Sun Ce's life was out of danger. He was lying on the hospital bed when he heard the news of his appointment. He only expressed that he would be loyal to Feng Xingtian in the future.
A few days later, Feng Xingtian arranged everything here, leaving behind a battalion to guard the valley and build strong fortifications, treating this place as an important base.
Feng Xingtian's idea was to build a castle here when there were more people in the future.
When he returned to Castle Giselle, the administrative system here had long been paralyzed. Fengxing Tian had selected a few highly respected people from the residents to serve as the chief executive. There were still a few Beastmen in the vast territory further west. Only then did the Empire's border garrison troops arrive. Feng Xingtian had also ordered that the Beastmen here were not to be disturbed, because with them, the news could be completely blocked from the Empire. No one knew who was in control of this place.
Before they left, Feng Xingtian and Kaludo discussed their plans. With this place as the foundation, they would slowly develop into the territory of the orcs in the west and north. They would try their best to connect to the Desert of Death. This way, they would form a strong line of defense with the orcs and open up their own territory between the empire and the orcs. However, this would take a few years. Taking advantage of this time when the orcs were heavily injured in the war, it would not be very difficult to seize a small piece of territory.
When Feng Xingtian left, he was sent off by all the soldiers and civilians. Unknowingly, Feng Xingtian was already the absolute leader of this new force.
"Brother Kaludo, goodbye." Yan Yi waved at Kaludo sweetly.
"Goodbye." Kaludo said dejectedly. He had been treating Yan Yi very well these days, but it seemed like Yan Yi only treated him as her big brother. He could only sigh that they would be together in the future.
Sun Ce's injuries were almost healed, but he still needed to lie in bed for a long time.
"Lord Sun, how are you?" Late at night, Fan Li came to visit him alone.
"I'll be able to get out of bed in a few days.”Sun Ce gestured for him to sit down.
" Sir…" Fan Li looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What can't we say?”Sun Ce already understood a little.
"Then I'll make it clear. Big Brother Sun, I've been thinking about it for so many days, but I still can't figure out one thing. Do you think Zhou Cang really betrayed us?”
"Sir Fan, since you call me big brother, I will only say it once today. Don't ever mention this again.”Sun Ce closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying,""No one knows whether Zhou Cang has betrayed us or not. Perhaps only he and Milord know. When we saw Zhou Cang, the few soldiers beside him did not know whether Zhou Cang had betrayed us or not. Therefore, you can pretend that I have not said anything today. I can only tell you that Milord killed Zhou Cang faster than us at that time to give us some face. Milord knows better than anyone else.”
Sun Ce's words instantly caused Fan Li's face to turn pale.
"If that's the case, he's too terrifying. But if Zhou Cang didn't betray us, why would he know that the orcs were going to attack in advance and bring so many follow-up troops?”Fan Li had just finished speaking when he suddenly thought of something and stared at Sun Ce in disbelief.
"As long as you and I know each other clearly, don't say it out loud. Brother, my life was saved by Daren. From that day on, I swore that I would follow him from now on and never have second thoughts!”Sun Ce looked at Fan Li sternly.
"Yes, yes. Even if I had the heart, I wouldn't have the guts. Sigh, thinking about it, we've come this far on our own. If we had listened to you at the beginning and didn't insist on breaking through here, we would have returned to the team long ago when we reached the eastern line.”Fan Li broke out in cold sweat.
If that was the case, then Feng Xingtian was simply too terrifying. What he and Sun Ce didn't say was that…Feng Xingtian had planned everything out. If Zhou Cang hadn't acted in advance, the result would have been the same. As for how the Beastmen had arrived, only Feng Xingtian knew.
"Going back might not be as good as staying here. I really look forward to following the man chosen by Long Shuai to make contributions!”Sun Ce closed his eyes again.
Fan Li didn't say anything. He held Sun Ce's hand for a while and silently retreated…
