Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 298: Chapter 307: Secret Weapon

Looking at the dense wounds on the Golden Demon Vulture, Chu Linfeng felt a pang of heartache. ”Old Jin, are you okay? I have some spirit medicine here, perhaps you should take it first?”

”Boss, these are just surface wounds, they’re not a big deal. Although my energy recovery isn’t as good as yours, I’ll be healed by tomorrow at the latest. I just don’t understand why you said I might end up looking like a beehive.” asked the Golden Demon Vulture.

”The arrows can only withstand so much star power; if a Celestial Martial Realm master uses too much force, the arrows will be damaged, and their attack power will naturally not be high. But next time, don’t show off. If they switch to better arrows just for you, I might have to collect your corpse.” Chu Linfeng laughed.

With these words, the Golden Demon Vulture immediately understood the seriousness of the situation, ”Boss, I get it. It won’t happen next time!”

Generals Zhang and Li were shocked to see the Golden Demon Vulture instantly kill so many enemy soldiers. General Li asked Luo Ping, ”Grand General, what’s the deal with that flying magical beast? Is it specially sent by the Imperial City?”

”No, it’s Chu Linfeng’s pet. If it weren’t for him, I might still be on the way here, and it would have taken at least two days to arrive.” Luo Ping said.

”Grand General, why do you say that? Even flying from the Imperial City to here takes just one day, why would it take two?” General Li asked.

”It’s a long story. Walk with me, let’s mobilize the army. I want to see just how formidable these bandit troops are.” Luo Ping said.

Then the two left. Chu Linfeng looked at the masses of enemy troops below the city walls and said, ”I wonder who the enemy commander is. If we can slay their commander, victory can be easily won.”

General Zhang glanced at Chu Linfeng. Although this young man was still young, he had a powerful flying magical beast. Such a person must come from a very strong clan background and must not be offended.

So he smiled and said, ”The enemy commander is named Yun Feiqing, a master at the Fourth Layer of Divine Martial Realm. He usually commands the army from the rear, and killing him is as difficult as ascending to heaven because his sworn brother, Wu Yuetian, is a master at the Fifth Level of Divine Martial Realm.”

Yun Feiqing is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals. But he is also a meticulous person, and without absolute certainty, he won’t make rash moves.”

”Yun Feiqing? A member of the Sea Dragon Empire’s royal family?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”No mistake, he is a cousin of the Sea Dragon Empire’s emperor. He also has a younger brother named Yun Feiyang, who is now the head of Sea Dragon Academy. If my guess is correct, he should be here too. His strength isn’t great, but he is very smart and skilled at devising strategies, probably serving as his brother’s advisor.” General Zhang said.

After the Golden Demon Vulture’s rampage, the siege had noticeably slowed down. The remaining soldiers were brimming with morale, knowing that they only had to hold out until nightfall to survive, as countless fiery arrows flew rapidly toward the enemy forces.

”Woo!” At this moment, the horn suddenly sounded from the enemy camp, signaling the withdrawal.

Hearing this, all the soldiers guarding the city walls of the Celestial Dragon Empire were relieved, having finally held on.

”Look, the enemy is retreating! We’ve finally secured the city, well done, brothers!” General Zhang shouted loudly, his voice echoing in every soldier’s ear.

All at once, every soldier was filled with enthusiasm, and their roar shook the heavens, their momentum incredibly strong.

Wei Qun and Meng Ji quietly watched all this. War is cruel, destined to cause bloodshed and death, and their expressions were very cold.

Just then, a middle-aged man in golden armor flew out from the opposite side, staying beyond the range of the arrows, shouting at those on the city walls, ”Cheap troops of the Celestial Dragon Empire, don’t rejoice too early. Today is merely a starter from our marshal. Tomorrow you’ll witness the true power of our Sea Dragon Empire’s secret weapon.”

”You’re spouting nonsense! If you have the courage, come on over! Our Celestial Dragon Empire’s million soldiers are not a ragtag bunch you can defeat!” General Zhang shouted in anger.

”Hahaha! Tomorrow you’ll see. Our Grand Marshal said today was just to mark the relations of our ancestors, but tomorrow it’ll be life or death. Do you think your tens of thousands can withstand our million troops’ siege?” said the middle-aged man.

”Try if you dare, stop boasting in front of me! Tomorrow, we’ll definitely destroy your Sea Dragon Empire.”

”Hahaha! Ignorant child, today I’ll let you live one more night! Brothers, let’s go back to slaughter pigs and sheep, prepare for tomorrow’s victory feast!” The middle-aged man said and then flew away, leaving everyone on the city walls looking at him with puzzled faces.

”General, what is the secret weapon that guy mentioned? Why did he shamelessly claim they could defeat us in one day?” A soldier asked General Zhang.

”It’s a tactic to attack our morale, don’t believe it. Today’s retreat was entirely due to our Grand General’s arrival. His reputation is widely known and feared by many.” General Zhang said.

Chu Linfeng was unconvinced. He believed that since the enemy said so, there must be such a thing, though its nature was unknown. Weapons for conquering cities must have a huge attack power. He felt a bad premonition. Could the secret weapon be firearms?

Though puzzled, he said nothing. Looking at Meng Ji, he found she seemed to be deep in thought too.

”Come, have the dead soldiers buried properly. They died for the peace of our Celestial Dragon Empire and are true heroes worthy of respect!” General Zhang said.

Burying tens of thousands of soldiers’ corpses is very time-consuming. If not on the city walls, it might not be done, as the walls need guarding, and leaving the corpses might affect morale.

Not long after, Luo Ping and General Li flew over. Luo Ping still couldn’t fly; although his injuries had healed somewhat, his strength hadn’t fully returned, and the star power within the Divine Star Pill was very scarce.

General Li then said, ”The Grand General has dispatched an army of ten thousand to guard the city walls, so tonight shouldn’t be an issue. Let’s all go to the council hall and discuss the battle strategy.”

Chu Linfeng looked at Luo Ping and said, ”We won’t go. We may be able to kill enemies, but when it comes to discussions, I’m just a nobody, so I’ll guard the city walls tonight.”

Luo Ping understood Chu Linfeng’s meaning. Indeed, without an official rank, a royal city guard isn’t qualified to enter the council hall. However, Meng Ji’s strength was considerable, so she was completely qualified. He glanced at Meng Ji, wanting to hear her opinion.

Meng Ji said, ”The military camp is a serious place, so women shouldn’t go in, lest it invites gossip. I’ll stay here with Lin Feng.”

Wei Qun naturally had no qualification to speak; since arriving here, he’d said nothing, his expression cold and unreadable...
