They'll All Die, No Matter How Many Come

The rumbling sound was incessant.

People who heard the strange noise looked up in confusion, only to see a crimson shadow sweep across the city, bouncing on streets, rooftops, and even walls. Walls collapsed, roads crumbled, and the powerful recoil propelled the woman to run and leap, like a scarlet shooting star.

In an instant, she crossed half the city and, following Hong San's guidance, saw the center of the battlefield. The city was in an uproar, with silver-armored elves from all directions converging on the center like rivers flowing into the sea. Spears, arrows, magic, and blades clashed one after another, fighting their enemies like lanterns.

She spotted the people fighting amidst a hail of bullets and arrows at a glance.

I've found you.

"Kang De!"

A crimson star fell from the sky with a deafening crash.

Kang De, surrounded and knowing the situation was hopeless, prepared to return to Earth.

He was alone, with limited power, unable to stop the atrocities of an army or save people from dying. But he came from Earth, a world where the power of an individual is extremely limited, so he praised the power of the collective even more. He knew what the cooperation of an entire nation could achieve.

Even children know that one of humanity's masterpieces is the potential to destroy itself.

Of course, it can also destroy others.

But just as he resolved to leave and avenge all the dead, that sharp shout reached his ears.

The voice was unfamiliar, but the emotions it conveyed were very familiar.

He looked up and saw a crimson shadow crash down nearby. A visible shockwave spread in all directions, instantly cracking the earth, sending countless rocks flying, warhorses stumbling, soldiers falling, long staffs flying like dragons, golden light raging like a torrential downpour, and elves crashing and pounding like bowling balls, blood mist filling the air, and the terrifying sound of bones shattering echoing everywhere.

It all happened so fast that even with Kang De's dynamic vision activated at double speed, he could only see a fierce man dressed in lava armor, looking like he stepped out of a Dynasty Warriors movie, wreaking havoc in the elf's ranks.

She even grabbed the antlers of a war deer and swung it around, smashing it into a pool of bloody sap, then suddenly flung it away, sending the ton-heavy beast flying through the air, killing countless elves in the process.

Then, this humanoid tyrannosaurus suddenly appeared and leaped forward, crashing into a shield-wielding soldier. The soldier and shield were smashed into pieces. With a heavy punch, the soldier's heavy armor shattered and his blood vessels burst. With a sweeping swing, the surrounding soldiers were thrown into the air. The elite elven army, which was unparalleled on the continent, was like an infant.

Faced with a formidable foe, the elves roared and charged into battle. The man planted his long staff into the ground, took a deep breath, and unleashed a powerful punch, like a torrential downpour, a raging wind, and thunder. His roar even drowned out the battle cries of the elven warriors. In an instant, only one voice remained on the battlefield.

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora!"

The fists flashed like a stampede of horses, their power surging and shattering, capable of splitting stone and breaking rocks, invincible and deadly. This was the most savage and primitive form of attack, but even the superior armor and the strength of the warriors could not stop them. The elves who came close were all knocked away and pierced through, and even the arrows that were shot out were shattered!

This purest and most direct display of power even moved and terrified the elves. They were both horrified by this terrifying power and bewildered by this meaningless roar—what did it mean?

Only one person knows what this means.

Kang De's expression suddenly changed.

He couldn't recognize the voice or remember the face, but he would never mistake the fierce punching motion or the shout of "Ora Ora!"... He had only ever taught one boxer to shout "Ora" while boxing.

Kang De murmured, "A Xing..."

In an instant, the fist shadows subsided, the world fell silent, and a gust of wind howled past. A moment later, a person stood before Kang De, clad in molten armor, with fiery red hair and golden eyes. Even the most beautiful face was overshadowed by her previous valor in the face of a thousand men. But Kang De noticed her gaze.

There was no trace of majesty or fierceness, only gentleness and tenderness, and the joy of reunion, as if the older sister had finally found her runaway younger brother.

Kang De.

She smiled.

The surrounding area was clearly a bloody battlefield teeming with killing intent, yet this smile bloomed as beautifully as a fiery rose.

Then, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Kang De under his armpits, lifting him high in the air, just like Rafiki lifted Simba, except in the opposite direction.

She laughed and said, "I've finally found you, Kang De!"

Then, holding up Kang De, he twirled around and laughed joyfully.

--That's definitely A Xing.

This is her favorite move.

Even in the midst of a fierce battlefield, such an unfolding scene was so strange that the scene fell silent instantly. First came the irresistible and terrifying attack and power, and then this scene unfolded. Even the elves were shocked and stunned by what they saw.

"Puff."

A suppressed laugh came from behind me.

Kang De turned around angrily, Autobots, with its imposing presence and the cannons on its hands booming and deforming, didn't turn back and said in a deep voice, "Father, that's the sound of the exhaust pipe."

"Put me down!"

After his initial surprise and shock, Kang De quickly recovered, his expression a mixture of astonishment and delight. "You're A Xing? You're out? How did you get out? Everyone's out?"

A Xing glanced to the side. "No, I'm the only one out for now. I swam out by myself."

Kang De didn't take it to heart and continued, "Then what are you doing here?"

A Xing turned back and said, "The thing Kang De gave me... I heard your voice a few days ago..."

"Radio transmitter..."

Kang De murmured, then, realizing their current predicament, immediately said, "It's dangerous here..."

"That's why I'm here!" A Xing shouted with a "praise me!" smile. "I also brought lots and lots of people! To help you fight!"

Upon recognizing A Xing, Kang De's first reaction was that the place was dangerous and he wanted her to leave. But the next moment, he remembered A Xing's unstoppable power just now; she was the true unparalleled warrior of the Three Kingdoms.

The grudges of days of fighting, the anger of being framed by the elves, the tragic state of Valentan, Nick's letter, Hong San's farewell... old and new grudges, irreconcilable.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he raised his hand and pointed at the platform.

The incident happened suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, Selendron was still in a daze, unsure whether to retreat. But when he saw Kang De pointing over, alarm bells rang in the elven commander's mind, and he chose to retreat without hesitation.

But it was too late.

Kang De roared, "Can we beat him?!"

A Xing turned his head, his pupils flashing with golden light, and with just one glance, he said, "He's nothing!"

"--Then beat him up!"

Selendron withdrew and retreated, but the A Xing's figure had already leaped forward.

The commander's sword flashed like lightning, shattering the enchanted weapon bestowed by the queen into pieces with a single punch. However, he used the momentum of the punch to fly back. But as the wind howled, A Xing, who was not carrying a stick, took the opportunity to uproot a stone pillar from the nearby pavilion. He struck Selendron with the Zhuzi, which landed on Thranduilon.

The marble pillar shattered with a crash, and Selendron screamed in agony. He was already badly injured from the previous artillery barrage and was no match for the Platinum Ape. The A Xing slammed half of the Zhuzi into Selendron's body and delivered another punch. The pillar shattered, and the force of the impact spread out and bombarded the elf in mid-air. Unable to keep up with the speed, the elf was grabbed by the head and slammed to the ground in a flash!

A Xing raised his fist to strike, Kang De and the Autobots had already climbed onto the platform and shouted, "Don't kill him!"

So she stopped punching, grabbed Selendron's other hand and slammed it down hard, spitting out blood. The surrounding elves finally reacted, shouts and commands rose and fell, arrows flew, mages took to the air, and the surrounding soldiers charged forward fearlessly.

Kang De rushed to Nick's side. Nick's limbs were severed, and although the elf quickly bandaged and stopped the bleeding, his face was deathly pale, and he was barely breathing. Kang De was filled with rage and shouted, "A Xing! When are your men coming!"

A Xing and Autobots teamed up to fend off the relentless attacks from all sides, they exclaimed, "Almost there!"

Kang De took a deep breath, preparing to carry Nick on his back. "Then we..."

Just then, Nick slowly regained consciousness. He saw Kang De, and color returned to his pale face. Weakly but excitedly, he said, "Go! Go quickly, Kang De!"

"It's alright, it's alright, listen, it's alright, reinforcements are here, it's alright!" Kang De patted his face, calling out to him to cheer him up, "It's alright, everything will be alright, we..."

"No, no..." Nick's breathing became more rapid, tears welling in his eyes, as he tried his best to say, "Go, go quickly, it's no use, everyone go quickly..."

Severely wounded and unconscious Selendron struggled to move his body, turned his head to look at Kang De, a mocking smile playing on his lips, "Kang De, you ultimately couldn't do it. My choice was right... right..."

The earth rumbled in the hills to the north of the city. A human army was advancing on the low, undulating terrain. The city of Valentan was in sight, thick smoke billowing from within, and the sounds of fighting and crying echoed throughout.

"The elves have ravaged the city again."

The leaders showed expressions of resentment. A moment later, a scout came galloping in from afar, shouting, "We've found out! The Dusk Warband's main camp outside the city is poorly defended; apart from a few troops left behind, everyone else is inside the city!"

These men were the backbone of this army corps and were well-versed in military affairs. Upon hearing the banner of the Dusk Warband, their expressions changed, revealing fear and even hesitation. However, when they heard that the enemy had almost completely invaded the city, they were all moved.

"The Dusk Warband is an extremely distinguished unit of the Elves. They should be battle-hardened and their commanders should be well-versed in military affairs. How could they make such a mistake, leaving an empty camp and logistical supplies outside alone?"

A knight calmly stated, "Unless they suffered a great loss, even a devastating one, at the city walls, and thus, consumed by rage, decide to slaughter the entire city..."

Someone chuckled softly, "Based on this city? Could it be that the happiest man on the continent built it?"

The knight glanced at the other man and said indifferently, "Perhaps he exposed his identity, and the elves are desperate to capture her, which is why they're acting this way... I admit that Kang De did a good job in Glittering Sand, but how could one person inflict such heavy losses on the Dusk Warband? There's no such thing as a miracle."

The person who spoke quipped, "I smell the original sin of jealousy."

The knight ignored the provocation, raised his hand, and said, "Regardless, since such a good opportunity has presented itself, I'll accept the credit for defeating the Dusk Warband."

"Prepare to charge!"

Horns sounded, drums thundered, mages rose into the air, and cavalry slowly accelerated. This human force lacked unified weaponry, but each soldier's face was fierce and their roars fearless. They raised their weapons, their shouts echoing through the heavens and earth, "For the Crimson Queen!"

In the city, A Xing's ears twitched, and he exclaimed joyfully, "They're here!"

But Kang De did not reply.

He grabbed Selendron's hair and snapped, "What did you say?"

In an instant, the situation changed. The proud elven commander was now a prisoner, yet he remained fearless. He looked at Kang De and smiled, saying, "I told you you're finished. No matter how many come, they will all die."

The elves continued their relentless attack, attempting to rescue their commander. Human reinforcements outside the city had begun assaulting the elven camp, trying to distract the Dusk Warband from their retreat. Further afield, ambitious members of this makeshift force, well-versed in military affairs, dispatched scouts to patrol the area, guarding against any unforeseen circumstances.

A small cavalry squad was assigned this task. They were both disappointed and pleased that they couldn't experience combat. The patrol was boring, so they could only chat to pass the time.

"We're here purely to rescue the Queen's gigolo, right?"

Someone said, "I heard he's Princess Tina's gigolo. What a lucky gigolo! Is he handsome? He must be a sissy. I heard many people in the troupe dislike him and are even planning to teach him a lesson..."

"Shut your mouth," the captain hissed. "If the commander hears this, I'll skin you alive."

"Hmph, we came all this way, fighting the elves, just to save him. That's a fact. He should be thanking us. Aren't we allowed to say a few words?"

The cavalryman remained unconvinced, saying, "However, I've heard that this time the enemy is the Elven Dusk Warband. Although Her Majesty the Queen is incredibly brave, she is, after all, only one person..."

I'll say it one more time, you can shut up now.

The captain shouted, "Even if our commander is alone and cannot fight the entire army, we still have Lord Spartacus, Lady Cassandra, many, many brave warriors, and us! Together, we can defeat even the elite elf army!"

The cavalryman scoffed; this guy had a penchant for arguing. He muttered under his breath, "We can beat them, but what if there's more than just the Dusk Warband..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly found himself in complete silence, with distant thunder rumbling in the distance.

"Hey, is it going to rain, Captain? Why aren't you guys...?"

The cavalryman noticed that all the members of the squad were staring blankly in the direction of the thunder. Curious, he turned his head and his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned pale.

He saw a five-colored torrent rushing in from afar.

A torrent of metal, gleaming with cold hues under the sun's rays, gleamed in gold, purple, red, green, and blue, its iron hooves pounding the earth—it was an almost boundless cavalry force.

Military flags fluttered wildly in the wind.

"The Trident Honor Legion, the Chimera War Battalion, the Crimson Dragon Roar, the Jade Blood Warband... these are all Elven Royal Army in the same order of battle as the Dusk Warband, and none of them are purely cavalry!"

The captain remained silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his horse around, cracking his whip wildly, and shouted, "Five! At least five Elven royal armies are advancing towards Valentan! This cavalry battle group is just the vanguard coming to provide emergency support! Damn it, damn it, damn it! We're facing the main Elven force!"
