White Tiger Legion Charges!

"White Tiger Legion, charge!"

The officer shouted.

The White Tiger Legion soldiers instantly charged at Dai Mubai.

"Breaking Clan, form the formation!"

Facing the White Tiger Legion's charge, the Yang Family Members immediately formed up as well, preparing to meet them head-on.

The battle between the two sides erupted once more.

The White Tiger Legion's attacks were certainly powerful.

However, the Breaking Clan was no weaker.

After suffering heavy casualties, the White Tiger Legion's combat strength had also declined drastically.

Dai Mubai had not expected them to still attack him, and he was taken aback.

In his view, they had already been utterly defeated. They were not even Dai Weisi's direct subordinates, and the general was certain to lose—yet they still dared charge at him, a Prince.

This scene made him understand even more clearly just how dictatorial the Star Luo Empire was.

A one-man nation!

The Star Luo Empire was entirely the Star Luo Emperor's nation. No one else, including the Princes, possessed any rights.

The life of a mere Prince was far less important to them than obeying military orders.

"Hahaha, the White Tiger Legion is the finest legion in the Star Luo Empire. Other than His Majesty's orders, they obey only military commands!"

"As long as you let me go, I'll have them stop at once. How about it?"

Blood stained the corner of the Longxing City Lord's mouth as he laughed loudly and shouted at Dai Mubai.

Although he was in an utterly miserable state, with his life hanging by a thread under the combined assault of three people, he showed no fear.

Since Dai Mubai cared about these soldiers, he would use them to preserve his own life.

Dai Mubai remained silent and ignored him.

How could he possibly agree to such a demand?

Just because I showed a little kindness, you think I'm a good person?

If he wanted to spare these soldiers, all he needed to do was tell the Breaking Clan to hold back—to knock them unconscious rather than kill them.

But why should he?

These people had just killed quite a few members of the Breaking Clan, and now they wanted to kill him as well. Was he supposed to stop the Breaking Clan from taking revenge?

Since these people had chosen to obey military orders, Dai Mubai would naturally respect that choice and let them die in battle.

Dai Mubai continued weaving through the battlefield.

Again and again, he took the lives of White Tiger Legion members.

Pfft!

Dai Mubai's bone spike pierced through the chest of a Soul Emperor officer.

"Cough, cough..."

The Soul Emperor officer suddenly coughed violently.

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the youth before him with fervent eyes.

With great difficulty, he spoke.

"Your Highness, if you were Emperor... the Star Luo Empire would definitely become incomparably powerful. What a pity... we cannot follow you... cough, cough..."

"The White Tiger Legion will forever... forever... remain loyal to the Emperor!"

After saying this, the Soul Emperor officer's body immediately collapsed to the ground.

Blood

seeped out.

Dai Mubai's gaze was incomparably calm.

Yet his pupils trembled, and his heart was deeply shaken.

The White Tiger Legion...

At that moment, he deeply felt the weight of his identity—the heavy responsibility it carried.

At the same time, he felt that the former Dai Mubai truly deserved to die for abandoning Zhu Zhuqing and fleeing the Imperial Capital, then wasting three years away in Suotuo City!

Fortunately, things were different now.

The name Dai Mubai would become that of the new Star Luo Emperor, worshipped and pledged loyalty to by countless people.

Not long after he had killed the officer.

Boom!

Yang Wudi knocked the Longxing City Lord to the ground with a single thrust of his spear.

The Longxing City Lord had been subdued.

"Your Highness!"

Su Xiong's shout jolted him out of his silence.

"Your Highness, I... I was wrong! Dai Weisi was the one who deceived me!"

Pinned to the ground by Su Xiong, the Longxing City Lord's eyes were filled with panic.

He understood that if he could not say something to make Dai Mubai change his mind, he was as good as dead.

"Your Highness... I... I never had any intention of rebellion! I am loyal to His Majesty. I have nothing to do with Dai Weisi—it was all that bastard Divine Eagle's instigation!"

"Spare me, and I'll immediately have the White Tiger Legion stand down. They are the Empire's elite—how can they be wasted here?"

"Your Highness possesses unparalleled talent. You will surely ascend the throne as Great Emperor one day. The White Tiger Legion and I are Your Majesty's soldiers. You're saving your own people!"

This shrewd and calculating Longxing City Lord now felt his heart thudding wildly, terrified that Dai Mubai would kill him just like that.

He swallowed and looked at Dai Mubai, not knowing what fate awaited him.

Dai Mubai silently turned around.

The ground was littered with the corpses of White Tiger Legion soldiers. Few remained standing.

Seeing their commander captured, they stood where they were, panting heavily. Many of them were already lost and confused.

They had been utterly loyal to the Star Luo Empire.

Yet now, because of this absurd order, they had died at the hands of their own people from the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Mubai's gaze shifted.

He looked to the side again. There were the Yang Family Members, who had just claimed victory and were now tending to each other's wounds.

Quite a few Yang Family Members lay on the ground as well, seemingly never to rise again.

After only a brief glance, he had made his decision.

"I believe you are loyal."

Dai Mubai turned back to face the Longxing City Lord. A flash of wild joy appeared on the man's face.

Before the Longxing City Lord could speak, the Iron Thorn Bone Chain pierced straight through his head.

The City Lord died.

Unfortunately, I'm not the Great Emperor. The one you're loyal to isn't me.

Dai Mubai silently added the second sentence in his heart.

The Iron Thorn Bone Chain flung the Longxing City Lord's corpse away. Blood sprayed through the air like splashing water beneath the setting sun.

An incredulous expression still remained on the City Lord's face.

A Golden Orb burst out at Dai Mubai's feet.

But Dai Mubai had no interest in opening it right now.

"Your Highness, Divine Eagle has escaped. We should leave quickly. Otherwise, more pursuers may come after us."

Su Xiong walked over to Dai Mubai and spoke.

Dai Mubai clenched his fists and walked over to Yang Wudi. Slowly, he loosened them.

"I'm sorry. Your clan has suffered such terrible losses. So many have died."

Dai Mubai said.

"Your Highness, I was prepared for this. Since we chose to take part in the Prince Succession Struggle, battle and bloodshed were unavoidable."

"Yang Clan Warriors have never feared battle!"

Yang Wudi waved his hand and answered Dai Mubai with an incomparably resolute look.

He had witnessed all of Dai Mubai's performance. Fighting opponents above his level was as easy for him as eating and drinking—he was a monster among monsters.

He had to hold on tight to this powerful backer.

"Your Highness, when are we going to look for the Immortal Herb?" Yang Wudi asked.

Dai Mubai opened his mouth.

Was he still going to search for the Immortal Herb now?

At this moment, another idea had formed in his heart.
