Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 38: The Same Root, Yet Suffering from Each Other
Could it be that the expeditionary force had rebelled?
When this thought entered Mu Feng's mind, it almost shattered all of Mu Feng's previous fantasies. He originally thought that the ten-day period mentioned by His Highness meant that the expeditionary force would come back for reinforcements within ten days. However, he did not expect that although the expeditionary force came back faster than expected, they had already changed the king's flag!
Why did Yonghui City not receive any news at all?
And who is the leader of this rebellion? Is it the General Zhiguo or the General Zhuguo? Or both?
Mu Feng's brain exploded. This speculation made him feel a chill all over his body. Generals Chiguo and Zhuguo were the two pillars of the Ruoye tribe. If these two people rebelled together, then the situation would be hopeless.
The news that came earlier said that General Su Ye was also defeated and his life or death was unknown. If these two rebellious duo were added to the mix, Mu Feng almost fell into despair.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Long Yu behind him, but Long Yu's expression at this moment was much calmer than he had imagined.
No, in fact, that was not calmness at all, it was an expression of deliberate suppression after being extremely angry.
Long Yu finally calmed down his rage, but the old fox finally lost his temper. It was hard for him as he had endured it for so many years.
Although he had anticipated this incident, he did not expect that when he really faced this situation, he would not be able to suppress the anger in his heart!
Everything that is supposed to come has come.
What does this mean?
What do you mean by "should come"? Could it be that His Highness already knew about the mutiny of the expeditionary army?
As the army gradually approached Yonghui City, Mu Feng finally saw the old general in purple armor leading the army. It was General Zhiguo! Mu Feng's heart sank...
The Fengqi Army and Fengyi Army directly under General Zhiguo!
But the left camp and the central army were nowhere to be seen. What did this mean? Could it be that General Zhuguo was not involved? Thinking of this possibility, Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. If only the 100,000 people under General Zhiguo rebelled, then there seemed to be a glimmer of hope.
I wonder if this can be considered a blessing in disguise?
General Zhiguo did not intend to give Mu Feng so much room for consideration. The sound of hundreds of thousands of elite Ruoye cavalry rushing over made the earth tremble. As they approached, the aftermath of the earth shaking could be felt on the walls of the entire Yonghui City.
We are of the same root, why are we so eager to fight each other?
"City defense crossbows, get ready!" Mu Feng subconsciously shouted and wanted to mobilize the several giant city defense crossbows on the city wall, but saw Long Yu gently waved his hand to stop him. Even so, the city defense soldiers on the city wall still had long crossbows in their hands, ready to go!
The hundreds of thousands of rebel cavalry rushed to about 400 steps outside the west gate of Yonghui City before stopping. They faced the heavily guarded west gate of Yonghui City across the moat.
The one who had reined in his horse in front of the center of the formation was the old general Chiguo, dressed in purple armor!
From beginning to end, the barrier in front of the moat showed no reaction, as if it was silent.
Mu Feng felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself that this was not good. This was a secret that only a few people in Yonghui City knew. It turned out that the barrier had flaws. Although it was invulnerable to swords and guns and as strong as steel in the face of foreign invasions, this barrier could only block foreign races. For the people of the Ruoye tribe themselves, the barrier was completely ineffective.
Perhaps the Kongming tribe had this in mind, so they sent the rebellious Ruoye army to lead the charge! Without any effort, they turned the barrier's resistance into smoke.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing is not this. The army of the Kongming tribe has not yet appeared, but the Ruoye tribe has been plunged into internal strife. This is a real strategy of driving a tiger to devour a wolf. Even if the defenders in Yonghui City barely resisted the attack of the rebels, the killing of compatriots is definitely a devastating blow to morale!
For the Kongming tribe, this is almost a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!
However, the matter of the barrier is top secret, and there are no more than five people who know the weakness of the barrier, not even including the old general Chiguo!
How did the Kongming tribe know about this?
At this time, Long Yu had suddenly passed Mu Feng and walked to the city wall. He swept his eyes across the endless Fengqi Army and Fengyi Army. Sure enough, the situation was exactly the same as what the white-clothed woman Qingluan described last night. At this time, those who were originally the most valiant and warlike men of the Ruoye tribe all had black foreheads, fierce eyes, and exuded a murderous aura from head to toe!
No wonder these hundreds of thousands of troops were so obedient to do such a treasonous thing! It turned out that they were really poisoned by someone with ulterior motives! Even though they were the cavalry directly under the General Zhiguo, Long Yu was still slightly confident about the pride and discipline that . If the General Zhiguo could convince these 100,000 troops to betray the country with his personal prestige, he would not have to wait so many years.
And if one had a keen eye, one would have discovered that among the 100,000 Ruoye expeditionary force, there were at least a few thousand Kongming wizards. Although they were all wearing black armor and black helmets, dressed exactly the same as the Ruoye cavalry and looked no different, Long Yu was a man, and with his cultivation level he could tell the clue at a glance.
If one focuses spiritual energy on his eyes, he can see that there is a faint black mist lingering over the heads of the poisoned soldiers and generals.
But in the midst of the black fog, some people had clear skies above their heads.
Are these people the ones who are mixed in the army and acting as supervisors, or in other words, are they controlling their poison techniques at close range?
It seems that this poison technique is not incurable. At least, they are unable to completely and thoroughly control the consciousness of the Fengyi Army and the Fengqi Army, and need to rely on such clumsy means to maintain it.
It seems that there is still hope for the situation to turn around.
Long Yu looked up at the sky inadvertently. Now he could only leave everything to her. What he had to do was another more important thing.
"Old General Chiguo, what do you mean? You are leading troops at the city gate, are you trying to rebel?" Long Yu seemed to be trying to suppress the anger in his chest and spoke first. His voice did not sound loud, but it had extremely strong penetrating power. At this moment, the entire rebel camp suddenly fell silent.
The old general Chiguo, who was dressed in purple armor, laughed awkwardly and pointed at Long Yu with a long whip in his hand: "Long Yu, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the rule of the Xu Ming Realm! You don't have to waste your breath to accuse me of treason. I am rebelling today! What can you do to me?!"
As if he had not expected that General Zhiguo would admit it so straightforwardly, Long Yu was slightly startled, and a sneer appeared on his face: "In this case, you have to give me a reason for rebellion."
"Reasons? Haha, go back and ask your father!" The General Zhiguo snorted coldly. At this time, a general behind him rode up on horseback and said, "General Zhiguo, everything is ready."
"Okay! Let's take Yonghui City in one go and kill this kid named Long for me!" General Zhiguo turned around on his horse and roared like a tiger, as if he was talking to the lieutenant general, or to the 100,000 rebels under his command!
"yes!"
With a swish, the lieutenant drew out a three-foot-long sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted, "Attack the city!"
The drums of war are beating and the trumpets are blowing!
The huge command flag was waved forward, the war drums beat more urgently, and the sound of the horn directly crossed the sky and filled the entire world.
Thousands of rebel cavalrymen in the vanguard formation shouted loudly, holding tridents, urging their horses to rush towards the moat, as if they wanted to crush the entire Yonghui City under their iron hooves!
The moat of Yonghui City is slightly different from those of other cities. It looks to be about fifty or sixty meters wide. If it were ordinary cavalry, they would probably have to go through the trouble of building a pontoon bridge or something. But who are these rebels in front of them?
Although they were bewitched by the poison, they were originally from the Ruoye tribe! Who are the Ruoye tribe? Fishmen!
Are murlocs afraid of water? Do murlocs need floating bridges to cross the river?
Therefore, even a moat that is a hundred meters wide is nothing to the rebels!
Thousands of cavalrymen in the vanguard formation rode their horses into the moat almost without hesitation. General Chiguo, who was standing by the moat on his horse, finally showed a barely perceptible smile of satisfaction on his face.
However, before anyone could even notice his smile, the expression on his face was replaced by astonishment and confusion!
Because an accident happened!
Suddenly , he smelled a hint of danger.
No, to be precise, he saw something strange. The water in the moat was faintly rippling with emerald green. An ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart!
“Retreat!” His roar was too late. When he shouted, the first batch of cavalrymen who had rushed into the moat had turned into wisps of emerald green mist in the air in an instant...
Water of the Yellow Spring!
That’s right, this is the Yellow Spring Water inherited by his beloved daughter Pianpian from the family of his deceased wife!
It would take a thousand years of his beloved daughter's life to summon the water of the underworld!
At this time, the water in the moat gradually turned into emerald green. The dozens of meters long river was overflowing with the soul-stirring and deadly water of the underworld!
The scene he saw at this moment almost shocked the battle-hardened old General Chiguo so much that he almost fell off his horse!
The appearance of Yellow Spring Water here means that Pian Pian is also here!
