Huo Qubing's Department!
On Sang Mo's return journey, Huo Qubing had already reached Great Jade River, the border of the Frostwest Empire, with a ferocious Black Dragon Banner prominently displayed behind him.
The dragon's body exuded an aura of supreme majesty, but its black eyes filled it with a chilling aura; it was a banner of slaughter.
Huo Qubing, leading the charge, gazed at the distant border, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
" A Si, is this Ashina Tiandu and even wanted to join forces to attack my Great Liang?" Huo Qubing said in a deep voice.
His cold voice rang out, echoing around them, causing everyone to shudder – their general was truly enraged.
When he swept through the Black Skull Army earlier, he merely made a casual gesture. Now, however, he has revealed his murderous intent. The Frostwest Empire is probably in deep trouble.
A Si nodded and said coldly, "Yes, General. That Ashina Tiandu tried to use interests to coerce the western countries into attacking our Great Liang."
However, they probably have no allies now and will likely have to ask the Great Liang for forgiveness...
As Huo Qubing's confidant, he knew his general's temper well, and this was definitely the time when he was most furious.
A scholar will die for one who understands him. The Emperor trusts the General so much; how can the General allow the Emperor to be humiliated? The Frostwest Empire is about to face a nightmare!
"Forgive?"
"If we can forgive a country that plots to destroy us, then what's the point of having an army? The best way to forgive an enemy is to make them realize how foolish they were!"
Huo Qubing's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he instantly locked onto the location of the Frostwest Empire. He wanted to make these ignorant fools pay the price and let them know the cost of coveting the Great Liang.
This isn't something that can be resolved with an apology; in his mind, he had already sentenced Ashina Tiandu.
This person's attempt to seize the Emperor's throne is a capital offense!
Grunt!
Behind Huo Qubing, several burly, dark-skinned Great Han shuddered upon hearing this, their legs trembling. This terrible nightmare had actually become enraged.
One of them was so scared that he wet himself, and his jaw was chattering.
"Um?"
Huo Qubing withdrew his deep gaze, glanced at the group, and couldn't help but frown slightly. They really were hopeless cases.
Bang!
Upon seeing Huo Qubing's gaze, the men's faces turned deathly pale, and they all knelt down beside Huo Qubing with a thud.
"Master, please spare us! We were just intimidated by your domineering presence; we absolutely did not mean to offend you!"
"My lord, you are wise to know that we are all truly loyal and have no other intentions. This time, we are willing to lead the charge!"
"Master, please don't kill me!"
He was so anxious that tears were about to well up in his eyes, fearing that this terrifying guy could wipe them all out with a wave of his hand.
They were now filled with regret, realizing that they were too naive and had inadvertently made a sound, which had displeased their master.
Depend on!
A Si glanced at the crowd, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and said disdainfully, "A bunch of spineless cowards, bullies who prey on the weak!"
These guys weren't like this a few days ago. They all looked down on each other, their arrogance written all over their faces, practically speaking right up to their noses.
It changed so quickly in the blink of an eye; no wonder he's a chameleon.
These people were several leaders of the Black Skull Army, who were originally the overlords of this area and were known for their tyranny.
Merchants passing through the area were exploited by them, and local residents were even more afflicted, living in misery and sleepless nights.
When the Feathered Forest Army first entered this land, they were incredibly arrogant, boasting that they would turn their heads into wine cups.
Who is our general? He is a chosen one of heaven, a war god-level figure. How could he tolerate such humiliation?
With the Black Dragon Banner unfurled, the Grand General personally led 300,000 Feathered Forest Army into battle, directly attacking the territory of the Black Skull Army.
The lightning-fast attack caught the Black Skull Army completely off guard, wiping them out like wheat being harvested.
After realizing what was happening, they assembled an army of nearly 400,000 to attack, but were routed by the general's cavalry's split-and-break tactics. The 400,000-strong army was in complete disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons.
Such a terrifying sight completely terrified the Black Skull Army, who threw all their arrogance to the winds and knelt down before the general's horse.
Huo Qubing glanced at them coldly and sneered, " Mo Yi, you need to understand one thing. You are merely my spoils of war. If you cannot fulfill your purpose, you will become sacrifices!"
His army's strength lay in speed and relentless advance; if they couldn't keep up, they would become a burden, and that would mean certain death!
Mo Yi's face immediately turned green, and he hurriedly said, "Master, rest assured, our Black Skull Army is the bravest. We can act as a suicide squad to clear the way for you!"
Although he is the current leader of the Black Skull Army, there is a prerequisite: he is the remaining leader after Huo Qubing killed several other leaders.
Now that it has submitted to the Feathered Forest Army Guards, although the other side doesn't treat it well, it dares not complain in the slightest.
Mo Yi had witnessed Huo Qubing's ruthlessness firsthand; the other man killed people like slaughtering dogs. How could he dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction to him, for that would mean certain death?
Previously, not only did they have a numerical advantage, but they were also well-rested and ready to fight. However, Huo Qubing's 300,000 Feathered Forest Army routed them, and in the end, 400,000 of them were annihilated by the enemy as easily as slaughtering chickens and sheep.
This battle completely shattered him, and his last shred of arrogance vanished. It's always better to be submissive in front of the strong.
"Yes, Master, we Black Skull Army may not have many other advantages, but we are the least afraid of death!" Mo Er couldn't help but whisper from the other side.
"Puff!"
Upon hearing this, A Si couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If you weren't afraid of death, why would you surrender to the Feathered Forest Army? You're just lying through your teeth.
Huo Qubing smiled slightly. In his eyes, these Black Skull Army were not even an army, but at most a group of rioters.
Although they outnumbered each other, they lacked even the most basic armor, making them no different from savages in the face of the Feathered Forest Army. He didn't hold much hope for their fighting ability.
Even a pile of shit has its uses, let alone the remaining two hundred thousand people.
Huo Qubing waved his hand and pointed to the border of the Frostwest Empire, saying, "This general doesn't like empty talk. Since you are useful, then put your skills to use!"
There's no point in saying more, let's just get started!
Mo Yi's heart skipped a beat. They were sending his Black Skull Army as a suicide squad? This was utterly outrageous! He couldn't help but glance at Mo Er. What should they do?
The latter ignored him and said angrily, "Don't worry, Master. I've disliked the Frostwest Empire for a long time and have been eyeing it for a long time!"
This time, I'll risk my life to tear open a breach in their defenses!
