295. I, Barbarian King, Fight Ashe
(PS: I've been busy finishing up an old book lately, so I haven't had time to repay the extra chapters. I'll resume extra chapters starting tomorrow.)
Xu Xian looked bewildered, and a little aggrieved.
Damn it, no, I don't have one, it doesn't exist.
Zi Shou equally confused.
They're just a child, what's it to me!?
Xu Xian: "Goddess Yan is joking. Hanwen has never had such a thought."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Tsk tsk, studying medicine, huh?"
Ming Yanwei: "Study medicine? Why study medicine? Is it because you can't handle the strength in your back?"
Xu Xian: "Confused. jpg, unable to support my waist strength, what's the explanation?"
Li Xunhuan: "Laughing and crying. jpg, Miss Ming, you..."
Ming Yanwei: "Hehe, look, that's the difference. That's why Li Xunhuan was able to become a third-ranked scholar at such a young age, while you can't even pass the imperial examinations."
Xu Xian: "Brother Li is naturally intelligent, while Hanwen is rather dull-witted; he is certainly no match for him."
The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Talking to a bookworm like you is really boring. Forget it, let's watch how the Barbarian verbally battles Ashe."
Angel Yan: "Ashe's verbal battle... that's a rather subtle phrase."
Goddess Leona: "Why do I always feel that no matter what I say, it becomes a little indescribable once it comes out of Gu Santong and Yan's mouths?"
The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Goddess Yan is piloting a spaceship."
Omniscient Li: "God's spaceship, Moon Worshipper, you're really broken. And you, Little Leona, what have you been researching lately? How do you know so much?"
Goddess Leona: "Haha, oh right, Barbarian, why don't you hurry up and give Ashe a verbal duel?"
The Barbarian King sighed silently to himself.
Have you finally remembered me?
I was supposed to be the main character today!?
Although the Barbarian King was saddened, he knew that now was not the time to dwell on being overshadowed by the big boss, since the big boss's actions were hardly glorious.
Pshaw, can't break through the defense!
The Barbarian King's lips twitched slightly, and it took immense willpower for him to suppress a laugh.
After a brief moment of shock, Ashe quickly came to her senses.
Regardless of why the Barbarian King is here, it at least suggests that the news of the barbarian army's attack may not be false. If the Barbarian King is not dealt with quickly, chaos will inevitably ensue in the city, and the army may even suffer a crushing defeat!
Ashe made a grasping motion with her right hand, and an ice-blue longbow materialized out of thin air.
"Call out!"
A cold glint flashed, slicing across Ashe's neck.
The sharp, cold light tore through the air, and the intense wind pressure left a bloody mark on Ashe's snow-white, delicate neck.
The Barbarian King made a grasping motion with his right hand, and his longsword, drawn by the momentum, flew back again.
Ashe's arms froze in mid-air. She swallowed hard, a bead of cold sweat appearing at her temple.
Quick!
That's too fast!
Ashe believed that, if necessary, Barbarian King could have easily killed her just now!
"Protect the Queen."
The female official finally realized what was happening and hurriedly drew her sword to stand in front of Ashe.
At the same time, hurried footsteps sounded outside the palace, clearly indicating that the palace guards had discovered the Barbarian King and his entourage who had forced their way into the palace.
"Quickly, quickly, protect Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Protect the Queen."
A large number of royal elites stormed into the palace, all brandishing sharp blades and pointing them at the leisurely barbarian Barbarian King and the cold-faced Sejuani.
The Barbarian King spat and said disdainfully, "Ha, my entire army has already entered the city. You've lost."
Ashe said in a deep voice, "I only received news three days ago that the barbarian army had not yet arrived at the Seding River."
The front line is more than two thousand miles away from Rak'Stak. I don't understand how you managed to bypass the front lines and travel more than two thousand miles in three days."
The Barbarian King said calmly, "You know nothing of the power of the gods."
God!
Ashe's pupils contracted, and she fell silent.
She thought of many things, such as the sun shining brightly in the sky and day and night being reversed.
Since that day, Ashe has indeed been worried for a long time.
However, the barbarians did not show any obvious abnormalities after that. Although Ashe was still somewhat uneasy, she just regarded it as an unpleasant coincidence.
But upon hearing the Barbarian King's words, her heart tightened.
Could this not have been an accident?
Just as Ashe was lost in thought, the shouts of battle in the city gradually intensified, like thunder shaking the tranquil Rak'Stak.
The guards inside the palace all changed their expressions drastically upon hearing of the changes in the city.
The barbarian army has really arrived!?
But how could this be? How could they have penetrated so deep into Rak'Stak without being discovered? How did they sneak into the city so silently? Was it really the gods protecting the barbarians?
Ashe's eyebrows furrowed, her expression somber.
The barbarian army has truly entered the city!
The Barbarian King sneered, "Give up resistance, and I will grant you a dignified end."
Ashe closed her eyes slightly and sighed, "A dignified ending, huh? Heh heh, what an unexpected ending."
Seeing Ashe's dejected state, the lady-in-waiting said urgently, "Your Majesty, we still have 80,000 troops at the front. You cannot abandon them. Let's go, quickly escort Her Majesty away."
Ashe sighed, "We can't escape."
The Barbarian King sneered, "Go? Do you think you can get away?"
"Now I'm giving you one last chance: surrender, or I'll slaughter the entire city of Rak'Stak and offer it as a sacrifice to the gods."
Ashe bit her red lips tightly, remained silent for two seconds, and slowly lowered the ice bow.
The sun blazes across the sky, turning day and night upside down.
That kind of power was absolutely beyond the Avarosan Tribe's ability to withstand.
The ice bow fell to the ground, and crimson blood clung to Ashe's lips, slid down her delicate, fair chin, and dripped onto the alabaster floor.
Heartbreaking!
The palace was deathly silent.
The moment the ice bow hit the ground, the palace guards seemed to have their spines ripped out, their hesitant expressions turning blank and dejected.
Queen, have you really given up?
"Clang."
No one knows when or who first laid down their weapons, but the sound of metal clashing against bluestone was incessant.
The Barbarian King's lips curled slightly; it was over.
In fact, he Dao Yi over the moment the army entered Rak'Stak.
The empty city of Rak'Stak was no match for the barbarian coalition's advance; even Ashe's ancient magical powers were of no use.
At the start of the war, the Barbarian King had already foreseen the future and its end.
However, Barbarian King was quite satisfied with Ashe's surrender, it didn't mean everyone else was.
Chat Group.
The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Is this what you call a verbal battle with Ashe?"
Angel Yan: "This is not the kind of story we wanted to see at all."
Li Hao was speechless.
Yan, why do I always feel like what you're saying is a bit... oh well, you're an old-timer pilot after all, sigh.
Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "I'm speechless. I thought there would be some brilliant remarks, but it was all vulgar language. The funniest thing is that it turns out the Big Brother Group Leader is the final boss."
Surrender, or I will slaughter the entire city of Rak'Stak and offer it as a sacrifice to the gods.
"Hehe, the Big Brother Group Leader isn't someone with such lowbrow tastes."
Goddess Leona: "That's right, that's right. I seriously suspect that the barbarian is intentionally slandering the group owner's image in Heavens and Myriad Worlds and ruining the public image of the Chat Group."
And also, we agreed on a verbal battle with Ashe, but you actually used a knife! That's too much!"
The Barbarian King's eye twitched.
Tryndamere, the Barbarian King: "Haha, don't worry about such a small detail."
Li Xunhuan: "Since ancient times, war has always been like this. I feel that the Barbarian King has done a very good job, subduing the enemy without fighting, which is truly a superior method of warfare."
Ip Man: "No matter what method Barbarian King uses to subdue Ashe, he will undoubtedly minimize the damage caused by the war."
Chen Nan: "The cruelty of war lies not in the sacrifices of the war itself, but in the impact it has on living beings. With Queen Ashe's surrender, the resistance of the enemy forces will inevitably be affected, and the damage to other living beings will be relatively reduced."
Tony Stark: "No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that the Barbarian's verbal battle with Ashe was wrong, and that they agreed not to fight but still resorted to knives."
Tryndamere, the Barbarian King: "My dearest friend!!!"
Tony Stark: "This isn't a problem with your best friend; it's a problem with you not satisfying the curiosity and expectations of your group members. Don't blame me for not helping you, or they'll keep a close eye on you."
Tryndamere Barbarian King: ""
Taking notes like this is going too far!
Goddess Leona: "I didn't, I wouldn't, it doesn't exist. I always keep things in my heart, I never write them down in a notebook."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "I don't hold grudges; I report problems on the spot."
Angel Yan: "Tony Stark, are you slandering me?"
Omniscient Li: "If you ask me, regarding the matter of the barbarians..."
The Barbarian King was on the verge of tears.
Group owner, please don't join in the fun.
Waaah, you guys are trying to kill me!
However, thankfully, the clever Barbarian King had already made preparations.
The Barbarian King interrupted Li Hao and hurriedly said, "Once we conquer Rak'Stak City, all items in the city are yours to take. Just ask if you want anything."
I, the Barbarian King, will be having a blast with you all today!
Everyone was slightly taken aback, and they all looked at the Barbarian King in astonishment.
Everything in the city is at your disposal!?
The Barbarian King said earnestly, "If it weren't for the support of our group members, there would be no Tryndamere today, no glorious era for our Barbarian race."
I keep my word. Just name what you want, and I'll have the soldiers fetch it for you. Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll chop them down.
Omniscient Li: "Therefore, I said that the barbarians are methodical and organized in their work."
Look how brilliant his verbal battle with Ashe was! He defeated Queen Ashe with just a few words, clearing away the biggest obstacle to the barbarian unification of the Freljord Plateau.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched slightly.
Group owner, have you no shame!?
That's definitely not what you were trying to say.
That can't be right!
The most important question is, if it weren't for that one blow, and if it weren't for the Barbarian King's threat to massacre Rak'Stak, would Ashe have surrendered so easily?
The crowd was speechless, having completely lost hope in Li Hao's integrity.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Ahem, I sometimes speak without thinking, so please forgive me if I offend you in any way."
Actually, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the Barbarian King's performance today was absolutely fantastic.
Without saying a few words, they defeated Ashe, leaving her pitiful and helpless to surrender. And that sneak attack plan was absolutely astonishing—a direct attack on her base! A brilliant war strategy indeed!
Goddess Leona: "Where are your faces?"
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Haha, this is amazing! Brother Barbarian King is giving out super big red envelopes today, everyone hurry up and participate!"
Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Hehe, Big Brother Group Leader, come quick! Let's go pick out some gifts!"
Little Yan Lingji spoke, she pulled Li Hao and ran towards other parts of the palace.
Soon, the once boisterous Barbarian King was left all alone.
No matter what people say, their actions speak louder than words.
The Barbarian King looked at his men as they moved, a smug smile spreading across his face.
For investment group members, this is the investment with the highest return.
I, the Barbarian King, am not stupid at all!
