Berserk God of War

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Can Send Signals Now

Zhang Zhun’s eyes flashed with a sinister glint, and then he let out a deep sigh, ”General Ning, I’m very disappointed. I hereby resign my position as a staff officer of the 66th Army. I cannot condone your actions.”

After he finished speaking, Zhang Zhun took out his Staff Token, walked up to Ning Jingjing, and forcefully handed it over.

The voices of the one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers once again rose up.

”Ning Jingjing, you’ve even driven away Adviser Zhang, what right do you have to be the General of the 66th Army?”

”Adviser Zhang, he was sent from the Central Castle to assist you, originally thinking that even if you, Ning Jingjing, lacked experience, you could still transform with his guidance. But you’re stubbornly unenlightened!”

”I’m done, there’s no reason to stay in a 66th Army like this.”

The one hundred and twenty thousand voices were filled with grief and indignation, nearly reaching the heavens.

Among them, deputy generals and captains who knew this was Zhang Zhun’s conspiracy all sneered continuously.

Having held back for a month, they could finally make a big move.

As the commotion filled the area, Zhang Zhun smiled while looking at Ning Jingjing, and whispered in her ear...

”Ning Jingjing, Ning Old Grand Dowager said that as a daughter of the Ning Family, it’s best not to wave swords and guns around outside. When you return home, she will arrange a marriage for you, one that will definitely satisfy you,” he said.

Upon hearing his words, Ning Jingjing’s body shook violently, and she stared at Zhang Zhun in disbelief.

She knew Zhang Zhun, even though he was sent by the Central Castle, had no good intentions, but she never expected him to be a member of the Ning Family.

”Don’t misunderstand, I am only friends with your uncle Ning Shouye and not a person of the Ning Family,” he explained.

”It’s just that I’ve accepted some benefits in exchange for helping the Ning Family.”

In Zhang Zhun’s eyes, a faint sneer emerged. ”By the way, Ning Old Grand Dowager also said that as one of the Six Families of the Long Night Imperial City, the Ning Family has power beyond your imagination, and no matter how you resist, it’s futile.”

After he finished, Zhang Zhun threw down the Staff Token and walked away.

Ning Jingjing stared intently at Zhang Zhun’s retreating figure, her fists clenched tightly.

At this moment, Su Zhenglong, shaking, stepped forward and said, ”General Ning, perhaps I should return to the Reserve Camp.”

He didn’t want his presence to result in Ning Jingjing losing her position as General.

Upon hearing Su Zhenglong’s words, Su Yue Immortal’s sword in her hand trembled fiercely, while Mei Xiaofang said with a bitter expression, ”Yue Xi, think of something. Your father has been cultivating his entire life for this day.”

She truly couldn’t accept it; she had witnessed her husband’s struggles over the past three months.

But in the end, was it all for nothing?

With her lip bitten, Su Yuexi said, ”I’m afraid there’s no way out. Dad will just have to step down voluntarily to save some face for General Ning.”

As these words came out, Mei Xiaofang looked tragically, her heart immensely distressed.

But there was no choice; Ning Jingjing had been kind to their family. They couldn’t drag her down.

”Yue Xi, it’s not simply a matter that can be resolved just by Dad stepping down voluntarily,” she said.

Just as they were reluctantly ready to accept Su Zhenglong’s departure from the Black-armored Soldiers, a voice brimming with magnetism reached their ears.

In an instant, Su Yuexi’s entire body shook violently, and her eyes immediately reddened.

She continued to tremble all over, yet she didn’t dare to turn back, fearing she had misheard, fearing it was just an illusion.

Because that was Brother Jing’s voice.

Just then, Mei Xiaofang’s excited voice rang out, ”Ajing, you’ve finally returned.”

Su Yuexi heard this, her whole body trembling once again.

Finally, she confirmed that her Brother Jing had returned; she spun around fiercely to look at the man behind her.

Gazing at Sikong Jing’s smile, Su Yuexi threw herself at him and sobbed, ”Brother Jing, I just knew you would come back, I knew for sure you’d return in your handsome form.”

It had been nearly a month, and although she had always held onto her belief, she was tormented by nightmares every night.

She feared that Brother Jing would never return, that Brother Jing had perished at the Wangyou Sect, and she feared even more that Brother Jing, as the voice claiming to be Feiyun Butterfly had said, after turning into a demon, would never be able to return to his original self.

But now, he stood before her, as handsome as ever.

Sikong Jing also hugged Su Yuexi tightly and gently said, ”This month, I’ve made you worry, I’m sorry.”

Su Yuexi shook her head while crying, unable to utter a word.

Mei Xiaofang gave them an odd look and said, ”Hey Yue Xi, what do you mean by returning so handsomely? Hasn’t Ajing always been this handsome? Better save the sweet talk for when you’re home and figure out how to help your dad.”

Mei Xiaofang had no idea about Sikong Jing turning into a Blood Devouring Demon Beast.

She thought just like Su Yuexi had told Beigong Xianfeng, that Sikong Jing had only gone out to avoid trouble for a while.

Was it really necessary for such excitement just for that?

Upon hearing this, Su Yuexi of course did not explain, but quickly stepped out of Sikong Jing’s embrace and asked, ”Brother Jing, you said this matter won’t be so easy to resolve? Does it mean there will still be trouble even if dad withdraws from the helmet presenting ceremony?”

Sikong Jing nodded and replied, ”Of course, this Adviser Zhang Zhun came prepared.”

”Now, no matter what decision General Ning makes, her reputation will be tarnished.”

”She might be able to suppress the rebellion of the hundred and twenty thousand new soldiers of the 66th Army, but outside the castle, there are thirty thousand soldiers of the new 99th Legion’s Black-armored Soldiers waiting to attack.”

”That means, whether dad withdraws or not, today the 66th Army will be overrun by the new 99th Legion.”

Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang’s eyes widened, unable to believe there were thirty thousand soldiers of the new 99th Legion outside.

The 66th Army was already in chaos; what Zhang Zhun wanted was not whether Su Zhenglong would withdraw, but the chaos itself. Maybe Ning Jingjing could overpower a hundred and twenty thousand with eighty thousand...

But if you add those thirty thousand men from outside suddenly attacking, then it’s a complete disaster.

Having realized this, Su Yuexi’s face turned pale as she said, ”If that’s the case, General Ning will be blamed for the 66th Army’s defeat by the 99th Legion, and she will likely be stripped of her generalship the next day.”

The chill of dread gripped them; Zhang Zhun’s schemes were too vicious.

Mei Xiaofang, however, couldn’t quite understand it all, but she intuited the dire outcome and asked, ”Ajing, what on earth can we do about this?”

At that moment, Sikong Jing gave a faint smile, ”Don’t worry, mother, since I’ve come, I won’t let such an outcome occur.”

Having said that, his eyes moved to the Martial Arts Discussion Platform above.

Just then, Ning Jingjing bit down hard on her teeth and firmly said to Su Zhenglong, ”No, if I say you’re a Black-armored Soldier, then you are one. Whoever dares to defy me, I’ll beat them...”

At this point, Ning Jingjing looked towards the one hundred and twenty thousand agitated new soldiers.

”If you want to leave the 66th Army, I’ll grant your wish, but you must crawl out on your knees,” said Ning Jingjing, as she raised her hand high with the sword in it and commanded, ”Bring it on, suppress the rebels of the 66th Army.”

Clang...

The eight trusted black-armored soldiers shuddered in unison, their swords drawn.

By then, Zhang Zhun had already descended from the Martial Arts Discussion Platform and walked among the one hundred and twenty thousand.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he whispered to several deputy generals, ”Signal the new 99th Legion now. Ning Jingjing’s so-called bravado will only lead to her quicker defeat.”
