Below the distant hills, shouts of battle melded into one.
On the hills, fires blazed everywhere.
Zhenbei King Xu Zhen stood behind Jiang Ning and said no more.
He knew Jiang Ning was still waiting—waiting for Ashina, the second heir of the Northern Barbarian Royal Court, to make her move, waiting for a chance for the Northern Barbarians to erupt into complete rebellion.
Just then, a rapid blast of horns suddenly came from the distant hills.
It was the order for the Northern Barbarian army to launch a full-scale assault.
Then, commands rang out one after another from the hills in every direction, and dense clusters of torches were raised all at once.
Like fiery dragons, they charged down the slopes.
Those tribes that had originally been watching from the sidelines had no choice but to follow once they saw the others charging out.
They knew that if the other tribes charged out while they remained here, only a dead end awaited them.
Once the Prince of Luoshui in Tianque City came to his senses, none of the rest would escape.
Tonight's uprising had seized upon the opportunity of Tianque City holding a Victory Banquet.
At any other time, it would simply have been courting death.
At the same time.
On the northernmost hill.
"Princess Ashina, stop hesitating! The people of Great Xia cannot be trusted!" a leader of the Golden Family said, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
"That's right! Stop hesitating! Once the eight thousand Great Snow Dragon Steeds move, they can easily tear through Great Xia's encirclement. So long as we reach the grasslands, we will be within Great Snow Mountain territory. With Great Snow Mountain's protection, why should we fear the Prince of Luoshui?"
"That's right!" The leader of another tribe was equally anxious.
