Thinking this through, Shi Lin no longer hesitated and whispered, " A Bao, hurry back and pack your things; we need to prepare to leave this place."
With such a massive enemy force, their small group was no match for them. Trying to fight Lin Yi head-on was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Rather than all of us die here in the end, it's better to stay and eke out a living; perhaps there'll still be a chance for revenge in the future.
"Where are we going? Lin Yi probably won't let us go."
"Go find Zhuo Feifan!"
Unable to hold on any longer, Shi Lin decided to seek refuge with Zhuo Feifan. Now, only Zhuo Feifan was qualified to challenge Lin Yi; the others were probably in a similar situation, destined to be swept aside.
Ding ding ding!
At that moment, a gong and drum sounded, and then a man emerged from the opposing camp—it was none other than Duan Yingxiong.
Holding a petition in his hand, Duan Yingxiong slowly stepped out from the crowd and coldly said, "I am Duan Yingxiong of Cloud and Mist Mountain County, here on the orders of the Crown Prince to annihilate the Shi Lin Great Mountain Tribe."
"You have plundered the people's property, bullied men and women, and disregarded human life. You are an unforgivable person, so your punishment is death without mercy."
Based on this evidence alone, the Great Mountain Tribe will cease to exist.
Grass!
Hearing these words, Shi Lin was so angry he almost vomited blood. He roared, "Damn you, Duan Yingxiong, you actually betrayed us and joined forces with Lin Yi! You're from one of the three great clans of Xiliang Commandery, what kind of man are you?!"
Damn it, what's with all this talk about evidence?
You, a local of Xiliang Commandery, actually surrendered to outsiders. You're the most shameless person ever.
"Hmph, ignorant fool!"
Duan Yingxiong sneered. Since you know I am one of the three great clans, you should know that even I have pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince. How dare you go against the Crown Prince? You are simply courting death.
A person's virtue lies in self-awareness, but unfortunately, this guy doesn't!
kill!
At a command, a cavalry unit exuding a chilling aura charged out and headed straight for them.
This is Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, one of the strongest troops in the Three Kingdoms period. Dealing with them would be a piece of cake.
"Not good!"
Upon seeing this cavalry force, Shi Lin's pupils constricted. The oppressive feeling emanating from them was so strong that he almost lacked the courage to confront them head-on.
They were just about to send someone to stop the enemy when, in an instant, the enemy completely tore through their defenses and charged in.
Pfft!
The leader brandished his spear, and several men fell to the ground. He then charged straight at the Shi Lin Brothers.
"I am Ma Chao of Xiliang! Who dares to come and die!"
This is outrageous!
Shi Bao had never been treated like this before. He gritted his teeth and charged straight at Ma Chao, determined to kill this arrogant guy.
"Don't want!"
Shi Lin instinctively tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Pfft!
With just a slight movement, Shi Bao was instantly killed, clutching his neck and staring at Ma Chao in disbelief. This seemingly unknown Ma Chao was actually so terrifying.
He was a rare expert in Xiliang Commandery, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move.
Bang!
He fell heavily to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
" A Bao!"
Looking at his corpse, a flash of anger crossed Shi Lin's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. Now he knew that there was probably no way to turn back.
With a determined look, he turned and ran straight into his room.
As long as we can escape this calamity, there is still hope for the future; otherwise, all is lost!
"Still trying to run?"
Ma Chao sneered and spurred his horse to give chase. Then, the Tiger-Head Gilded Spear in his hand shot out through the air, pinning Shi Lin to the gate, his eyes wide open in death!
"The leader is dead. Eliminate these weaklings and move on to the next target!"
"Yes!"
With Shi Lin dead, the remaining forces crumbled completely, slaughtered into countless pieces, and ultimately defeated in the carnage.
The war lasted only a quarter of an incense stick's time from its outbreak to its end before it was completely over.
Seeing Shi Lin's lifeless body, Duan Yingxiong couldn't help but shudder. This Ma Chao was too ruthless! Killing Shi Bao in an Duan Yingxiong was one thing, but to nail Shi Lin to the gate was quite another—it was like treating him like a child's toy!
"Father, thank goodness we allied ourselves with the Crown Prince, otherwise we would have been the first one." His son, Duan Yu, felt his legs tremble and he could hardly stand when he saw this scene.
He was now somewhat grateful that his father had surrendered, otherwise he probably would have died an even more gruesome death.
Duan Yingxiong glared at him and said irritably, "Now you know that experience counts, right? From now on, work hard for the young master. If you dare to disobey, I'll personally deal with you!"
To be honest, he was shocked when he saw this; it was on a completely different level.
"Yes, Father!" Duan Yu trembled, not daring to say another word.
Ma Chao glanced at the two men, then immediately moved on to his next target. He fought his way through, and those forces that had previously acted arrogantly were no match for him.
In just half a day, Ma Chao swept through the entire Xiliang Commandery, leaving only Carefree Mountain Manor behind.
With 50,000 troops surrounding Carefree Mountain Manor, Zhuo Feifan had no chance of escape.
Squeak!
After the manor gates were smashed open, the army charged in without hesitation. No amount of resistance along the way could stop their slaughter, and they headed straight for the main hall.
Looking at Zhuo Feifan sitting calmly in the hall, Ma Chao's eyes flashed with surprise. This guy looked so calm, he didn't seem like a loser at all.
"Is this person Zhuo Feifan?"
He looked at Duan Yingxiong and Wang Zhengfei and asked.
The two nodded. It was indeed Zhuo Feifan, but at this moment they seemed not to recognize him, because this guy showed no fear whatsoever.
"Haha, I don't change my name or surname, I am Zhuo Feifan."
"Although you have won today, someone will avenge me in the future, and your prince will not escape death!" Zhuo Feifan laughed loudly, as if he had gone mad.
Hearing his words, Ma Chao sneered and said disdainfully, "You're about to die, who can avenge you? You're overthinking it." With his arrogance, he wouldn't spare a single dog from his entire family.
"Haha, the barbarians will avenge me, just you wait!" Zhuo Feifan didn't care at all, and directly committed suicide with a single stroke. He wanted to die by his own hand.
Wang Zhengfei whispered, "These troops are incredibly powerful, comparable to Elder Bai's Asura Army, and some are even more terrifying. The young Asura Army is truly hiding his true strength!"
The Asura Army was the elite of the Northern Liang Army. It was terrifying that there were even more elite Asura Army among these Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The Crown Prince has only just come of age. When he reaches the age of the Prince of Northern Liang, his military strength will probably be enough to shake the world.
Putting everything else aside, after this incident, no one in the All Under Heaven will dare to underestimate the Heir of Northern Liang!
