Chapter 574
At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared next to Shen Xing.
Beastmaster Kyle gazed at the figure from afar and called out, "Is the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City Lord Hector?"
"It's me." The other person's voice came from afar.
"It really is Vice Lord Hector!" Kyle was overjoyed and continued, "Did you come out this time specifically to attack the Weideng Royal City?"
"That's right," replied the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City. "We successfully recaptured Weideng Royal City a few days ago, and Lord Haidesen has already been Execute within the city."
Upon hearing this, Kyle's face lit up with ecstatic joy. "Great! That tyrant is finally dead!"
He paused, then continued, "And what about Her Majesty the Princess?"
The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City replied again, "Her Majesty the Princess has been rescued and is being escorted to the Weinaer Royal City under special protection."
Upon receiving the reply, Kyle seemed to relax completely, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Xing with surprise. "Lord, that's wonderful! Deputy City Lord Hector and the others succeeded!"
"That tyrant is dead, and he will no longer pose a threat to our territory."
Shen Xing didn't speak, but his gaze swept over the deputy city lord and then over the army behind him.
At this point, the other party said again, "My lord, we have been marching for several days and nights, and are exhausted from the journey. We would like to take a break for a while."
"Could you please open the city gates so we can go in and rest for a while?"
Upon hearing this request, Shen Xing frowned slightly but still did not respond.
Both armies, numbering tens of thousands, fell silent simultaneously, and the atmosphere gradually became somewhat oppressive.
After a moment, Kyle looked at Shen Xing and tentatively asked, "Lord, do you think we should let them in?"
"The lord of Hector's secondary city is quite decent; there shouldn't be any problems..."
Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "If it's just a short rest, we can do it outside the city walls."
"I will provide you with food and water so you can rest well."
Upon hearing this reply, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City on the other side immediately narrowed his eyes.
This young man seems more cautious than I imagined; he's not so easily fooled.
"My lord, we really just want to go in and rest for a while."
The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City said in a low voice, "For the safety of the Blackwing Plains, we marched continuously for half a month and even fought a bloody battle in the Weideng Royal City."
"Now that you've come to your territory, you won't even grant this small request?"
His voice was somewhat weak, causing Kyle beside him to furrow his brow slightly and look at Shen Xing with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
However, Shen Xing remained unmoved by these words.
"Excuse me, this territory is my private land, and I don't allow strangers to enter."
"If you want to rest, I can make things convenient for you, but if you want to come in, forget it."
Upon hearing his resolute refusal, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City's face darkened.
Both armies fell silent once more, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"Heh." The deputy city lord of Black Hawk City let out a low, cold laugh, "A Xiao Xiao lord dares to disobey my orders!"
"Don't forget, this entire Blackwing Plains belongs to Black Hawk City's territory."
"I'll be polite and discuss it with you properly."
"If I were to be impolite, everything in this territory of yours would belong to Black Hawk City!"
"I'll ask you one more time, will you open the city gates or not?!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, tens of thousands of archers in the rear army simultaneously drew their bows and nocked their Arrows!
The other soldiers also picked up their weapons and prepared for battle.
Seeing this, Kyle also sensed something was wrong, and his face paled.
"Lord Hector... Lord Hector, let's talk this over." He said, his voice trembling. "Let's all sit down and have a good talk. Our lord is a very easy person to talk to..."
"There's no need for further discussion," the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City said coldly. "If he doesn't open the city gates today, then we'll push them open ourselves!"
Kyle's face turned even paler.
He was about to speak when Shen Xing interrupted him, saying, "Kyle, there's no need to say anything. Can't you see it?"
"This guy's initial goal was our territory."
"My... our territory?" Kyle looked at him blankly, then glanced at the army below.
"That's right." Shen Xing nodded and said, "This guy wasn't telling the truth. I'm afraid even the so-called attack on Weideng Royal City was a lie."
"Wh... what!?" Kyle's face turned deathly pale instantly. "Fake... fake... that princess..."
"Heh." Upon hearing Shen Xing's words, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City sneered, "Quite astute, no wonder you've developed such a large territory."
"Since you already know, then I'll be frank with you."
"I want this territory of yours."
"But we're not those robbers, so we'll give you two choices."
"First, you must open the city gates yourself, and all your troops must submit to Black Hawk City."
"Secondly, we will personally take action and flatten your territory."
"Now, you choose for yourself."
He looked calmly at Shen Xing, his tone indifferent yet confident, as if he were simply stating a fact.
Below the city wall, the orcs, their eyes bloodshot, were barely able to contain their killing intent and wanted to kill this arrogant fellow.
Even the generals were eager to make a move, their eyes fixed on the middle-aged figure.
Xia Lingyin, who was standing nearby, watched the whole scene with worry in her eyes.
Although she knew that Shen Xing's side was not weak, the other side clearly had more people and was stronger.
Especially the middle-aged man who spoke, who released the aura of Grandmaster Rank expert without reservation!
Even from that distance, she felt an astonishing sense of oppression.
Xia Lingyin felt that if she were in that situation, she would probably have already figured out how to escape.
However, after a moment of silence, Shen Xing slowly shook his head and said, "Sorry, I won't choose any of them."
Upon hearing this, the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City sneered, "Very well, since that's the case, then I'll make the choice for you!"
"All troops, attack!"
As soon as the words were spoken, tens of thousands of archers, who had been waiting in ambush, simultaneously released their bowstrings.
"Splash..."
A rain of arrows swept in like locusts, even obscuring the firelight in the territory.
At the very front of the procession, the Knights of Black Hawk City also mobilized en masse!
They rode tall, magnificent horses, wielding lances, charging out like countless out-of-control tanks.
"Boom... boom boom..."
The earth trembled as thousands of heavily armored knights charged forward simultaneously, carrying an overwhelming sense of Destroy Heaven and Earth!
Just then, a red figure shot into the sky from the city wall.
"Boom!!"
A dark red pillar of fire shot thousands of meters into the sky, scattering sparks everywhere.
A stunningly beautiful woman slowly emerged from the firelight.
She held a staff, her red hair danced wildly like flames, her skin was as white as porcelain, and her features were exquisitely beautiful.
She exudes a unique charm, as if she were the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator.
The soldiers on the entire battlefield, including the deputy city lord of Black Hawk City and Xia Lingyin, were momentarily stunned when they saw her face.
The thought that crossed everyone's mind was: There really is such a beautiful woman in the world!
At that moment, an unprecedented Greed and desire appeared in the eyes of the Black Hawk City deputy city lord.
However, the red-haired beauty remained indifferent.
She used her staff as a pen and drew a horizontal line in the air.
"Call..."
In the center of the battlefield, a line of flames stretching four kilometers instantly appeared on the ground.
"Rise."
Her lips parted slightly, and like a torrent of fire from the earth, flames suddenly rose from the ground!
In an instant, a giant curtain of flames, four kilometers long and over a thousand meters high, rose from the ground and blocked the front of the army formation.
"Sizzle—sizzle—!"
Most of the Arrows that flew into the air were instantly vaporized upon contact with the curtain of flames.
The remaining Arrows, after passing through the curtain, had their power greatly diminished.
They burned with flames, like fiery meteors, hurtling towards the people on the city wall.
Shen Xing was just about to have the Shadow Dragon flap its wings to knock the Arrows away.
At this moment, Xia Wanyin gave the order before he could.
"Xiao Guang, form the formation!"
A clear voice rang out from the city wall, and the light knight's body instantly shone brightly!
Then, he shot into the sky like a bright sun, taking thousands of Light Spirit on the city wall with him!
"Buzz—buzz—!"
With bursts of energy, the bodies of these Light Spirit began to change rapidly.
The original human shape transformed into a flat shape, with neat edges coalescing into standard hexagonal element blocks.
Then, these hexagonal element blocks quickly assembled together, forming a magnificent barrier that spanned the entire battlefield!
"Ding! Ding ding!"
The remaining Arrows landed on the radiant barrier with a crisp sound.
But it only caused a ripple on its surface before losing all its power and falling from the sky.
With Leina's Fire Wall and Radiant Barrier acting as a double barrier, the enemy's first wave of arrows was easily broken without causing any damage.
Seeing this, Shen Xing asked in surprise, "Wanyin, is this Xiao Guang's new ability?"
"Yes!" Xia Wanyin nodded. "This skill is called [Endless Radiant Barrier]. It can gather all the Light Spirit together to form a shield that blocks all attacks."
"The stronger and more numerous the Light Spirit, the longer the barrier will exist, and the stronger its defense will be."
