Death Row Camp vs. Mad Dragon Camp!

With Luo Shenhuang's protection, Zhang Dalong couldn't do anything to Ding Hao!

But now, Luo Shenhuang had fallen into trouble, and he had been promoted by the Empress to a new commander. Naturally, he had to kill Ding Hao first!

Most importantly, Ding Hao was now at the peak of his power within the Divine Phoenix Army, with immense prestige. He would definitely become an obstacle to Zhang Dalong's rise!

For both public and private reasons, Ding Hao had to be eliminated!

Thus, led by Zhang Dalong, twenty thousand fully armed Mad Dragon Camp soldiers, before dawn, charged towards the Death Row Camp!

Duan Yun Pass was only so large, and furthermore, in the past few days, the Divine Phoenix Army had been on high alert, with every bush and tree appearing to be an enemy soldier!

The Mad Dragon Camp's movements instantly alerted the other military camps!

"Not good! The entire Mad Dragon Camp is on the move, what is Zhang Dalong planning!"

"Commander Luo has only been gone for three days, and he's already impatient to stir up trouble?"

"Quick, investigate! If things go wrong today, our Divine Phoenix Army might see a change in leadership!!"

The Fierce Tiger Camp, Sever River Camp, Divine Machine Camp, and other military camps all dispatched scouts. They quickly discovered that the Mad Dragon Camp's target was none other than the Death Row Camp!

"The Death Row Camp? It's Ding Hao!"

"Zhang Dalong is going to make a move on Ding Hao!"

All the Divine Phoenix Army generals were shaken, clearly aware of the animosity between Zhang Dalong and Ding Hao.

"This is bad, that damned Zhang Dalong, he's really going to cause trouble!"

Especially when Ding Yishan learned the news, his expression drastically changed.

Without hesitation, he immediately led the Town Mountain Camp to reinforce the Death Row Camp!

However, the Town Mountain Camp was relatively far from the Death Row Camp, and there was also the delay caused by the transmission of the news.

Still en route.

Zhang Dalong had already led the Mad Dragon Camp soldiers to the Death Row Camp!

"Ah!"

"Mad Dragon Camp? What are you doing!"

"Not good, quickly notify General Ding, the Mad Dragon Camp is attacking!"

Within the training grounds of the Death Row Camp, a large number of death row inmates were either training, strolling, or messing around.

The reason for this was thanks to Ding Hao, who had once led them in bloody battles on the battlefield, earning great merit. With Luo Shenhuang's approval, most of the death row inmates were spared immediate execution and were instead allowed to atone for their crimes through meritorious service, granting them the same rights as other military camps!

It could be said that compared to the Death Row Camp at the beginning, the current Death Row Camp had been completely transformed and had become a true military camp!

As a result, today, the Mad Dragon Camp charged into the Death Row Camp and began a massacre. In moments, hundreds of death row soldiers tragically died on the training grounds!

At the same time, Ding Hao, who was meditating and cultivating in his barracks within the Death Row Camp.

He was instantly awakened by the chaotic shouts from outside.

His heart sank. "Mad Dragon Camp? Zhang Dalong! He couldn't wait even three days? This is much earlier than I anticipated!"

Three days ago, after Luo Shenhuang was taken away, Ding Yishan had secretly approached him, suggesting he retrieve Luo Shenhuang's commander appointment letter and directly take control of the Divine Phoenix Army under the guise of the new commander!

He hadn't said anything, because he knew the appointment letter wasn't important. What mattered was that he needed the strength to command obedience!

Without strength, even with ten appointment letters, he wouldn't be able to lead the Divine Phoenix Army. At the very least, Zhang Dalong would be the first to defy him!

Therefore, he wanted to cultivate for a while longer, at least reaching the True Martial Fifth Level, before he would have a certain degree of confidence in dealing with Zhang Dalong!

Unfortunately.

Things didn't go as planned. Zhang Dalong didn't give him any more time to develop!

"Good, good, good! Since you've come, let's settle this early!"

Suddenly, Ding Hao's eyes turned cold, and a stern killing intent erupted from them!

Although his current cultivation level was still only at the True Martial Fifth Level, with his various methods, he might not be unable to kill Zhang Dalong!

"Death Row Camp, prepare for battle!!"

Finally, with Ding Hao's roar, over ten thousand death row soldiers, like well-trained elite soldiers, donned their armor and weapons, charging out of their barracks!

In an instant.

The tens of thousands of people from the Death Row Camp and the Mad Dragon Camp faced each other on the training grounds.

Ding Hao and Zhang Dalong also separated from their respective crowds and moved to the front, standing a hundred meters apart, confronting each other from a distance!

Ding Hao spoke first with a cold shout, "Zhang Dalong, why are you wantonly slaughtering my death row soldiers? Engaging in fratricide, what crime do you deserve!"

"Heh heh ha! Fratricide? Ridiculous!"

Zhang Dalong sneered contemptuously, sweeping his great saber at the death row inmates present. "What kind of brothers are you? You are just death row inmates, prisoners who committed capital offenses. According to the laws of my Great Zhou!"

"The Northern Expedition War has already ended. All of you death row inmates should be beheaded!!"

As the word "beheaded" was uttered, many of the death row soldiers' eyes widened in fear.

At the same time, they also became extremely enraged!

After all, they were afraid of being beheaded after the Northern Expedition war ended, which is why they fought desperately to kill enemies and accumulate military merit.

They had finally managed to secure a chance to avoid execution from Luo Shenhuang, but now Zhang Dalong was leading troops to behead them!

Ding Hao said in a deep voice, "Zhang Dalong, the death row prisoners of the Death Row Camp will have their death sentences temporarily suspended and will officially become soldiers of the Divine Phoenix Army, earning redemption through fighting to the death or until they are pardoned. This is a direct military order from the commander Luo. Are you going to defy a military order?"

"Tch!"

Zhang Dalong scoffed and said with a cold laugh, "Luo Shenhuang is also a person under accusation, so her military orders are invalid. If your Death Row Camp can produce an imperial decree from the court, I, Zhang Dalong, will not make things difficult for you!"

Ding Hao's eyes darkened.

He knew that Zhang Dalong was determined to target him and the Death Row Camp. Even if he produced Luo Shenhuang's appointment letter, it would likely be useless!

"You don't have one? Since you don't, then you all deserve to be beheaded!"

"Mad Dragon Camp, kill all these damned prisoners!"

As Zhang Dalong shook his great saber, the twenty thousand soldiers of the Mad Dragon Camp immediately let out a uniform roar of killing intent. Then, holding their sabers and shields, they charged ferociously towards the Death Row Camp opposite them!

Seeing this, Ding Hao naturally wouldn't choose to wait for death. He quickly shouted, "Death Row Camp, engage!!"

Boom! Bang bang!

In an instant, the soldiers from the two camps collided on the training ground, and screams, curses, roars, and other sounds immediately echoed!

Blood splattered, and severed limbs flew. Both sides were engaged in fierce combat!

Ding Hao also entered the battlefield immediately, drawing his Mysterious Iron Saber and continuously hacking at the Mad Dragon Camp soldiers attacking him.

On the other side, Zhang Dalong also entered the fray. Every swing of his great saber could take the life of a death row soldier from the Death Row Camp.

Both of them wanted to kill each other as soon as possible, but the battlefield was too chaotic at the moment, making it impossible for them to get close to each other!

They could only do their best to reduce the enemy's strength through their powerful martial arts!

However, the situation today was extremely unfavorable for the Death Row Camp!

Firstly, the Mad Dragon Camp was originally the premier military camp of the Divine Phoenix Army!

Secondly, the Mad Dragon Camp had a force of twenty thousand soldiers, while the Death Row Camp had only a little over ten thousand!

If the battle continued like this, the Death Row Camp would eventually be annihilated!

Fortunately, not long after the battle began, before the Death Row Camp suffered heavy casualties, A roar filled with anger sounded from outside the Death Row Camp!

"Stop!!"
