The siege of the Twin Flag City garrison and the use of various means to coerce the garrison were actions that had been planned long ago.

The commander was named Williams, an officer in the elite guard battalion of Prince Arshavin, the Iron-Blooded Camp Zenit God of War. He had been preparing for several days, waiting for any unusual movement from the garrison so that he could immediately accuse the garrison of treason.

Upon hearing the commotion within the camp, he was not alarmed at all, but rather extremely excited. He ordered his personal guards to invite the experts from the Imperial Knights' Hall stationed not far away, while he led these several hundred personal guards toward the garrison camp.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the garrison camp, a tense standoff had already broken out, with weapons drawn and the atmosphere thick with tension.

The Imperial main battle legion [ Thunder God's Whip ] soldiers, clad in black armor, had assembled into three square formations. Their expressions were cold, and their Long Spear gleamed menacingly in the moonlight. To their flanks and rear, a square formation of approximately five hundred archers had their bows drawn, and amidst the chilling creaking of taut bowstrings and bent bows, five hundred bows were Full Moon drawn, awaiting only the commander's order. At that moment, the merciless arrows would emerge like dark clouds, tearing into the flesh and blood of the enemy.

[ Thunder God's Whip ] is one of the Empire's ten main battle legions, and one of the four trusted legions under the control of the God of War Arshavin. It was personally established by Emperor Yassin at his peak, boasting a glorious history, fierce fighting spirit, and excellent training. Having just withdrawn from the Spartak Empire's front lines, it possesses a wealth of combat experience.

All the warriors of the [ Thunder God's Whip ] Legion were clad in uniform black iron light armor. In every hundred-man formation, there was one healing mage and one defensive mage. Their equipment and treatment were far superior to those of the garrison in Twin Flag City. After receiving orders, they quickly assembled at the camp gate, blocking the garrison soldiers who wanted to retrieve their comrades' bodies.

These soldiers moved in perfect unison, their eyes cold and ruthless, as cold as killing machines.

And on the other side...

The soldiers of the Twin Flag City garrison, still wearing armor tattered from the battle with the Ajax, and wielding swords, spears, and shields riddled with holes and cracks from the fierce siege, poured out of the camp gates, their faces filled with barely suppressed grief and anger.

As heroes who defended the city, they didn't even receive the necessary equipment upgrades after the war.

Facing the elite soldiers of [ Thunder God's Whip ], facing the chilling gleam of their spear tips and arrows, no one Avoid, no one was afraid. Everyone stood tall and approached the dozen or so upright wooden pillars.

At the top of the wooden pillar, the indomitable bodies of their comrades still hang, swaying back and forth in the cold wind, enduring the onslaught of the night, each corpse with its eyes wide open...

True heroes die with their eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Soldiers of the Double Flag Garrison, listen up! Immediately drop your weapons, remove your armor, and kneel down with your hands behind your heads. Your actions are tantamount to treason. Anyone who dares to approach again will be killed without exception! This mutiny will only hold officers accountable; ordinary soldiers will be spared!"

A roar, laced with Dou Qi, echoed from the [ Thunder God's Whip ] camp.

The thunderous sound of hooves rang out, and the black-armored soldiers, well-trained, parted to the sides, revealing a passage. Williams, dressed in the standard armor of a high-ranking officer from the [ Iron-Blooded Camp ], led two hundred personal guards and galloped up to the front of the formation, instantly making the atmosphere tense.

His body shone with crimson Dou Qi, reaching the Five-Star Class level, like terrifying flames swirling in the dark night.

Against the backdrop of the surroundings, the towering Williams resembled a troll of the night, his eyes flashing like lightning, radiating murderous intent. A smile of excitement and cruelty played on his lips as he surveyed the scene before bursting into laughter, "Hmph! A bunch of damned traitors who have abandoned their Glory, finally unable to resist betraying the Empire? Your Highness, I knew long ago that you bunch of incompetent maggots who only know how to waste military funds and equipment harbored treacherous intentions. Your Highness was right. What? Why don't you lay down your weapons? Do you really naively believe that you can stand against the Empire's God of War?"

Clang clang clang clang!!!!!!

Accompanied by Williams's murderous roar, the soldiers of [ Thunder God's Whip ] pounded their swords against their shields and armor, unleashing a silent yet overwhelming aura of steely armor and bloody bones that swept over the opposing garrison like a tidal wave!

A mocking look appeared on Williams ' face.

A bunch of ragtag soldiers, daring to challenge an elite force like the [ Thunder God's Whip ], one of the Empire's ten main combat legions, personally trained by His Majesty the God of War? Forget fighting, just the sheer force of their aura would be enough to tear them apart instantly?

However, his smile quickly froze on his face.

Williams was astonished to see that these ragtag soldiers, facing such psychological pressure, not only did not collapse, but instead unleashed an even stronger momentum to fight back. They did not bang on their armor, nor on Enforcer shields, nor even make a sound, but their angry eyes and straight bodies exuded an aura that even made this senior legion of the Iron-Blooded Camp, the elite guard battalion under the God of War Arshavin, known as the Empire's first elite combat brigade, feel slightly chilled.

" Motley Army on the imperial border could never perform like this, so why... could it be..." Williams thought of a possibility: this Motley Army was led by the man who even the Crown God of War, the God of War, was extremely wary of. Although it was only for a few months, it was enough to change the face of an army.

Is that little vassal King really that terrifying?

call out!!!!!!!!!!

Realizing the atmosphere was tense, Williams no longer hesitated, drew his Sharp Sword from his waist with a clang, and swung it backhand.

Flaming Dou Qi shot out like a venomous snake, sweeping across the night sky and carving a huge sword mark half a meter deep in the open space where the two armies faced off. Flames swirled and burned fiercely on the sword mark, illuminating the night sky. This battle Dou Qi sword technique was exceptionally skillful, enough to demonstrate the strength of Williams, a senior officer of the [ Iron-Blooded Camp ].

Among the stationed troops, whether officers or soldiers, absolutely no one could contend with such strength.

"Listen up, you ragtag soldiers! If you dare take another step forward and cross this fiery boundary, you will be caught in a hail of arrows. Even if you die, you will be branded as traitors, and all your family and friends will be executed without exception! The corpses on these ten flagpoles are the example!"

Williams roared angrily, slowly raising his longsword.

He had already made his plans. As soon as anyone took another step forward, he would immediately give the order to unleash a volley of arrows. The archers were equipped with armor-piercing arrows that could penetrate the Dou Qi spirit of ordinary martial artists. He would kill a group of them first to establish his authority.

But at this very moment—

"Sir, what an imposing official position! This is the Twin Flag City garrison camp, and it's not wartime. Why can't the soldiers leave the camp?" A clear and resounding voice rang in my ears. Then, in a flash, a tall and handsome figure, with a refined and elegant demeanor, appeared, having somehow crossed the boundary marked by the fiery sword.

"Release the arrows!"

Williams was greatly shocked and instinctively pointed his longsword at the enemy.

Instantly, the whooshing sounds of arrows piercing the air and the clattering of bowstrings rang out simultaneously, like the grim glint of death or the cheers of a demon. They streaked across the sky, leaving trails of black and white light, passing over the two square formations of [ Thunder God's Whip ] and hurtling mercilessly toward the garrison!

Death opened its arms at this moment!

Some soldiers instinctively raised their shields to shield their comrades and partners. Their fighting instincts made them slightly turn their bodies to the side, reducing their surface area and minimizing their Avoid the rain of arrows, preparing for the Charge.

However, what happened next left everyone speechless, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The armor-piercing arrow, powerful enough to pierce the protective Dou Qi of One-Star Warrior, accelerated its descent after reaching the peak of its parabolic trajectory. Suddenly, like a snail trapped in a swamp, it miraculously slowed down, and in an instant, it completely stopped and solidified in the void ten meters above the ground.

This is an unbelievable scene.

The arrowheads of the armor-piercing arrows gleamed with a chilling light, their white fletchings trembling slightly as if trying to break free. However, like the grim smile of death frozen on its face, they could no longer advance an inch.

Even the elite soldiers and officers of the [ Thunder God's Whip ], one of the top ten main combat legions of the empire, couldn't help but gape at this moment, their eyes glazed over, and they almost dropped their weapons.

A chill ran through Williams ' heart. He finally saw the figure before him clearly, as if struck by lightning. Instantly, a name came to mind, and he exclaimed in shock, " King of Chambord? You're King of Chambord Alexander!?? You... how did you get here?"

"I do not wish to lay a hand on the soldiers of my own empire, nor do anything as foolish as that prince, which would only bring joy to my enemies and pain to my own people. You have ten breaths to immediately withdraw to a distance of one thousand meters from the garrison camp and Executioner who killed the garrison soldiers!"

Before the words were even finished, a series of crisp, jingling sounds rang out.

The arrows, frozen in mid-air, suddenly all fell straight down, dangling onto the ground and piling up in a heap.

Sun Fei stood at the entrance of the camp, his body covered in white frost under the clear moonlight of the deep night. His eyes were like lightning, and the night wind ruffled his long black hair. He wore a white robe and a gold belt, exuding an aura of power and confidence that shook the soul, as he looked at Williams, who was riding on horseback, his mind reeling.

First update.

I'm so sorry, both games last night were so exciting that I stayed up for so long, and I woke up late today, so the update is a bit late. Oh dear, oh dear, I apologize to everyone.
