Lightning Assault on the Fortress!

"Marshal Ge Long? Rumor has it that this Nine Lives Divine Dragon has also broken through to the Title Douluo, is that true?"

Zhang Luo Shen looked at her aunt Zhang Ling Yun and asked with great interest.

"With the God Crystal and cultivation techniques of the Purple Micro Palace, even your aunt can break through to the Title Douluo, let alone the already renowned Ge Long?"

Zhang Ling Yun smiled, spurred her horse, and the warhorse beneath her neighed, its hooves leaving small pits of varying depths on the earthen slope.

Behind them, hundreds of elite palace guards from the Silver Moon Family reined in their horses and dispersed, forming a mobile defensive circle within a hundred meters of the two women.

Zhang Ling Yun waved her riding whip and said leisurely, "In the current Heaven Dou Empire, there are no fewer than five or six Title Douluo belonging to the royal family alone, not to mention the top experts from the Purple Micro Palace and the Upper Three Sects. Even the Spirit Hall probably wouldn't dare to directly confront them!"

"Ha, our Empress Xue Ke may not have many other skills, but her ability to find a suitable husband is exceptionally high. If it weren't for that big bad wolf with his vast harem helping her, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would have been slaughtered long ago, and there wouldn't be the prosperous state they are in today."

Zhang Luo Shen looked indignant, her eyes darting around, and said in a sour tone.

She always felt that Xue Ke was a slut who relied on men, and that the current strength of the Heaven Dou Empire was entirely due to Zhou Chen.

If she were sitting on the throne of the empire, she would definitely be much stronger than Xue Ke!

The more Zhang Luo Shen thought about it, the more bitter and angry she became. She gazed into the distance, where lush pastures and boundless land came into view.

What right does the Barak Kingdom have to occupy such a large area of land?

Zhang Luo Shen licked her lips, her gaze growing increasingly cold. Since she had dispatched 300,000 troops to launch a lightning attack on the Barak Kingdom, she would surely want to take a share of the Barak Kingdom's territory after the victory!

After all, she deserves credit for her hard work, even if she didn't achieve anything significant!

That little bitch Xue Ke shouldn't even think about taking back the entire Barak Kingdom!

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo Shen turned around and ordered, "Pass down the order: the Cavalry Legion will continue its assault, and the infantry legion will follow. No one is allowed to stop before reaching the Barak City!"

"Promise!"

Several palace guards, clad in fine armor and mounted on horseback, bowed respectfully, then, holding a token in one hand and the reins in the other, turned their horses around, spurred them on, and galloped off towards the army, shouting loudly:

"Her Majesty the Queen has ordered that the Cavalry Legion continue their assault and not stop until they reach the Barak City!"

"By order of Her Majesty the Queen, the entire army is to charge! Anyone who dares to halt will be executed!"

"Your Majesty..."

At the shouts of the messengers, the cavalry and infantry of the Silves Kingdom, covering the mountains and plains, responded in unison and quickened their pace, surging towards Barak City like a dark tide!

Barak City is less than a hundred miles from the border of the Silves Kingdom. Traveling a hundred miles a day would be a great test for an infantry legion.

But for the herdsmen of the Silves Kingdom, who grew up on horseback, it was no challenge at all.

The soldiers of Zhang Luo Shen's seven Cavalry Legion were almost all from herdsmen!

Barak Kingdom, Soslak Fortress.

As the first line of defense for the capital Barak City facing the Silves Kingdom, Soslak Fortress is less than thirty miles from the border.

The fortress was guarded by Duke Akbar, a distant uncle of King of Barak Kundera, a playboy who spent his days hunting, drinking, and womanizing, and knew nothing about military affairs.

As the saying goes, a bad soldier is a bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army. With such a general, the 30,000 garrison troops of the fortress were naturally poorly trained, lazy and incompetent, and they didn't even deploy scouts to investigate the enemy.

As a result, the 70,000 cavalry of the Silves Kingdom crossed the border almost effortlessly and appeared at the foot of the walls of Soslak Fortress without any warning from the garrison!

"Report! Urgent! A large army is attacking the fortress!!"

Outside the city lord's mansion in the fortress, a scout cavalryman tumbled and scrambled off his horse, panting heavily. He then smashed through the guards at the gate and frantically ran into the mansion!

"What?"

The commanders in the manor were initially shocked by the news, then exchanged a knowing glance and ran towards the backyard in unison!

Their commander, Duke Akbar, is in the backyard right now!

In fact, when he received the report from his subordinates, Duke Akbar was still writhing on the woman's belly. It wasn't until his subordinates rushed in that the playboy reluctantly climbed off the woman.

Even when this somewhat dim-witted duke sat in the main seat of the city lord's mansion in a daze, he thought his subordinates were joking.

"How could the army of the Silves Kingdom possibly attack us? Shouldn't they be fighting alongside us against the Heaven Dou Empire? Their interests should be aligned with ours!"

"Also, aren't the Sylves people always cowardly? They just had a palace coup a few years ago, and even the royal family was replaced. The new queen is a woman."

Why did they suddenly attack us?

Duke Akbar roared in shock and anger. With the help of his maids, he hurriedly put on his heavy knight's armor, which he hadn't worn in a long time. He picked up his noble rapier, wobbled as he mounted his warhorse, and, surrounded by his generals and guards, rode with his commanders to the city wall that was under attack.

"They are definitely just a small force. How could Queen Sylvester dare to attack the powerful Barak Kingdom?"

Duke Akbar rallied himself as he rode, shouting to his guards, "Follow me, let's teach those cowardly Sylvesters a lesson!"

Seeing the usually carefree Duke so brave today, the guards and commanders accompanying him couldn't help but feel more confident.

However, as Akbar led his guards onto the city wall, amidst a ferocious battle cry, countless rockets rained down like meteors, and the dark, swarming Sylvester army surged onto the wall like ants. The defenders of the fortress fell to the ground in droves, their corpses piling up into small mountains!

Akbar had never seen such a sight before. He was so frightened by the terrifying scene that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed into the arms of the guards behind him.

"Quickly, go! Gather all troops and hold this city wall!!"

"Also, gather the shield bearers around this duke!"

"Where are the fortress's Soul Master Legion? Have them all come over and cover this Duke!"

Akbar screamed hysterically, issuing a series of ridiculous and absurd orders incoherently!

A kilometer outside the fortress, Zhang Luo Shen, mounted on her horse, looked at Zhang Ling Yun beside her, whose face was as beautiful as jade and whose demeanor was elegant and noble, and said with a grin, "Auntie, it's your turn to make a move!"
