Miracle Throne Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Fang King

Dongfang Zhan's eyes opened wide in anger.  If there wasn't a righteous and selfless general here, the Battle Dragon Fortress would have already fallen to the enemies!

This place would have fallen and the entire frontline army's defenses could have collapsed from this!

"Be a.s.sured general!"  Dongfang Zhan pulled off his cloak and covered w.a.n.g Lie's body, giving a deep military salute, "This old soldier vows that the lives of the frontline soldiers will fall with the frontline defenses!"

After saying this.

He kicked w.a.n.g Tu's broken body away and threw w.a.n.g Lie's spear at it.

This spear rotated at high speeds as it flew out.  Like it had pierced into paper, it pa.s.sed through the armour of the corpse and sewed it into the wall.  Finally the great strength exploded forth and it created a flower of flesh and blood.

"This is the fate of a rebel!"

Dongfang Zhan raised the large sword inserted into the ground and instilled spirit energy into the blade.  A sword glow was released into the air, releasing a sharp aura that filled people with awe. This old white haired general that was close to a hundred was like a thoroughly enraged lion at this moment.  He angrily roared out, "For Southern Summer, for the human race, kill the rebels and sweep the War Hounds. As long as we have a breath left, we will not stop fighting!"

"Kill the rebels and sweep the War Hounds!"

"Kill the rebels and sweep the War Hounds!"

Several dozen royal griffin knights, five hundred experts of the Blood Hawk Camp, and the several tens of thousands of soldiers of the Battle Dragon Fortress all tightly gathered together.  Their blood was excited by this old general, swearing to die with the frontline defenses.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu were a bit moved.

For the Southern Summer Country to have a good general like Dongfang Zhan, it really was the blessing of the Southern Summer Country!

"Young miss, we should go too."

"Your injuries are too serious, you can't fight anymore!"

Meng Qingwu knew that Chu Tian's situation was very serious and only Chu Tian could hold up to this point.  If it was a normal person, they would have fainted already. Although the power Chu Tian used was very strong, the side effects were also very large.  If he were to partic.i.p.ate in this battle and were injured, the consequences would be hard to deal with!

Chu Tian pulled out his smooth as ice treasure sword, "Young miss, your words aren't correct.  No matter what, I am a Southern Summer ruler. Although it was something the Southern Summer King forced on me, since I've already been given the t.i.tle, I should help them vent, don't you think so?"

What else could Meng Qingwu say?

Chu Tian had strangely become the Country Guarding Ruler!

This ruler t.i.tle was even more elegant than the Calm Martial Ruler!

Chu Tian was a person that cared about comfort, so he would not accept responsibility easily.  However, now that heavy responsibility had been given to him, Chu Tian would not run away from it.  Dongfang Zhan and Gu Qianqiu, even these hundred year old men are rus.h.i.+ng into battle, so what reason did Chu Tian have to run?

"We'll go together!"

"Ha, ha, young miss, we'll kill until we're satisfied!"

After Dongfang Zhan killed w.a.n.g Tu in a single hit, the Earth Dragon knights quickly retreated.  Their task was not to fight the commander in front of them, but rather to open the gates and allow the War Hounds army to come in.  When Dongfang Zhan arrived with these soldiers, it meant they did not have much time left.

Dongfang Zhan will not let any rebels go and only opening the Battle Dragon Fortress gates from inside was the only road of survival for the traitors.  They were very aware of this, so they were prepared to use everything to reach the gate.

"Don't give them the chance!"

"Encircle them!"

Dongfang Zhan was a veteran on the battlefield.  Although they had just arrived at a Battle Dragon Fortress where a raging battle was occurring, they quickly integrated the several tens of thousands of soldiers in a short period of time.  Some of them were sent to tower to defend the city and the other portion was chasing after the rebels.

The w.a.n.g Family's Battle Dragon knights did not have a chance because they were tightly surrounded.  Even with the Earth Dragon's battle strength, they still could not break through in a short period of time.  Not to mention the fact that Dongfang Zhan was bringing the army to kill them from behind.

"This d.a.m.n old Dongfang!"

"You think the Battle Dragon Army will fear you?  We'll go all out with you!"

Several vice generals gave out orders and the Earth Dragon cavalry turned around.  The knights were wearing excellent black armour with three meter long special made spears in their hands.  Their eyes were red and they were wildly shouting "kill". A giant and bulky Earth Dragon was currently aggressively charging forward with incredible strength.  The sharp thorns and blades specially installed on the Earth Dragon's armour turned into harvest tools for the death G.o.d.

Cavalry soldiers always had a superiority over infantry.

Not to mention the heavy armoured Earth Dragon cavalry?

These Earth Dragon cavalry were generally in the 1st to 2nd Awakened Soul Realm, with some even reaching the 3rd Awakened Soul Realm.  There were even some leaders that were Ill.u.s.trious Soul Realm experts. They were not inferior to the Dongfang Family's Blood Hawk Camp and would not even lose to the royal palace's griffin knights!

An incomparably hot energy began to gather in the Earth Dragon's mouths.  The Earth Dragons could release high temperature flames and although it couldn't compare with a real dragon's breath, it could still easily melt iron.  Even an Awakened Soul Cultivator might not be able to block it.

There was not much s.p.a.ce here and Dongfang Zhan's side would suffer heavy losses.

Dongfang Zhan shouted, "Blood Hawk Camp, s.h.i.+elds!"

The agile blood hawks dropped down from the sky, it was not something the slow Earth Dragon cavalry could fight.  The blood hawk knights did not directly attack the thick skinned Earth Dragons, but rather they launched surprise attacks.

A single round killed an entire row of Earth Dragon knights.

Once the Earth Dragons lost their knights, they would fall into chaos.

At this time, Dongfang Zhan would lead soldiers to surround the giant Earth Dragon mounts to kill them.  Not long pa.s.sed before one-two hundred Earth Dragon knights were done in, making the w.a.n.g Family general grit their teeth in anger.

Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu did not have the strength for close combat, but they could ride the griffin and follow the Blood Hawk Camp as they released their aerial attack.  Meng Qingwu pulled out a Source Energy Submachine Gun and aimed it at an Earth Dragon cavalry soldier from a hundred meters away, sending out a wild storm of shots.

Ordinary Source Energy Submachine Guns might be a bit weak, but its main advantage was its increased rate of fire.  This gun was specially modified by Chu Tian with each bullet being strengthened, not being weaker than normal pistols, even being a bit stronger.  It would penetrate the defensive spirit energy of all Awakened Soul Cultivators below the 4th layer and even 4th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivators can't take more than two hits.

Meng Qingwu swept out with the gun.

At least four-five Earth Dragon knights were hit.

At this time, Chu Tian controlled the griffin to dive down and slash across them with its claws.  The two of them worked together to take of several dozen Earth Dragon knights.

"d.a.m.n!"

"We'll lose for sure if we keep fighting like this!"

The several vice generals saw this situation and knew that the only way to survive was to open the gates.  The rushed at Dongfang Zhan together, wildly attacking without caring about their lives, only caring about opening the gate.

How could Dongfang Zhan allow them to succeed?

This white haired old general charged into the Earth Dragon cavalry and slashed down twenty knights in just one sweep, finally killing a 9th Awakened Soul Layer vice general.  Although he had suffered seven-eight wounds, he fought like a cornered beast, so wild that no one could withstand him,

"This old lunatic!  Does he want to perish together with us?"

There were over eight hundred Earth Dragon cavalry already defeated and there were three thousand wounded by this wild attack.  Their momentum was getting weaker and they began to attack less.

Finally with the a.s.sistance of the Blood Hawk Camp.

The entire group of Earth Dragon knights were eliminated.

Dongfang Zhan continued sweeping through, killing all the War Hounds experts that had infiltrated.

Although the Battle Dragon Fortress was temporarily saved, it was a tragic battle with severe losses, almost making it crumble down.  At this moment, the fighting had already lasted two hours. Inside and outside, blood flowed like a river, with both sides suffering countless casualties!

"Keep defending!"

"The War Hounds can't hold on any longer!"

Dongfang Zhan's body was covered in blood and he had suffered several dozen wounds, but he still brandished that giant sword that had many holes, almost as if his body no longer belonged to him.

Of the five hundred Blood Hawk Camp generals, at least half of them died in this fight.  This was the trump card of the Dongfang Family!

Dongfang Zhan felt a dagger pierce into his heart, but if he could defend the frontline fortress, it didn't matter what kind of price he had to pay!  As long as the frontline fortress wasn't penetrated, the Southern Summer Country had the ability to launch a counterattack! From the present situation, it seemed like victory was right in front of them!

Finally!

The retreat horn sounded from the War Hounds.

This giant army threw down several hundred thousand corpses as they slowly retreated like the tide.  The Southern Summer Soldiers covered in blood who had fought for several hours gave out excited cheers.  The War Hounds finally couldn't fight any longer and were retreating?

"The War Hounds are retreating!"

"The War Hounds are finally retreating!"

"The Southern Summer Country has won!  Long live the Southern Summer Country! Long live the marshal!"

The War Hounds military system was very chaotic.  When the heard the retreat signal, the entire team quickly began to retreat, suddenly causing chaos amongst them.  The threw away their armour and ran, looking very embarra.s.sing as they retreated. From this situation, it seems like it was impossible for a second attack.

At this time.

The cavalry unit Dongfang Zhan had prepared set out.

This was a surprise attack unit the War Hounds never would have expected.  The Southern Summer army had just suffered a b.l.o.o.d.y battle, but they still sent out soldiers to chase them!

The two cavalry groups did not have many people, with each team having around forty-fifty thousand people!

However, the key to strategy was not quant.i.ty, but rather having the right timing!

When the cavalry left the gate and charged forward on the plains, they were like two sharp blades piercing into the War Hounds formation, wildly harvesting away.

The War Hounds were currently retreating.  They had failed in sieging the city and were quickly fleeing, avoiding the rain of arrows from the walls.  They were already very ashamed and their morale had frozen, only caring about running away, how could they fight back?  This was already an one sided slaughter. Not long from now, at least ten thousand War Hounds soldiers would be killed, becoming a pile of b.l.o.o.d.y corpses.

Chu Tian couldn't help praising, "Beautiful move!"

The old general really was the most experience general, using the cavalry at just the right time.

The War Hounds were already frustrated at failing to attack the city, if they lost another fifty-eighty thousand people while they were running, it was equal to pouring salt on their wounds, making them unable to think about attacking the city again.  After this battle ended, the War Hounds would flee in disgrace back to the prairies!

The Southern Summer Country had also paid a large price, but that was mostly in terms of damage to the fortress.  It would only need around a year to fix and most the Southern Summer forces were preserved.

If it wasn't for the fall of the Southern Summer King…..This would have been a beautiful battle!

However, when no one expected it, a sudden change happened on the battlefield.

A deep drum came from the center of the battlefield.  This kind of drum had never been heard before and although it was deep, it was still very strong, as if it came from the earth itself.  This sound was filled with battle intent, completely different from the defeated War Hounds army.

Dongfang Zhan's face instantly changed, "Retreat!  Quickly retreat!"

Dongfang Zhan had already left the watchtower and in his current position, he could not send down orders.

In just a short ten minutes, the battle in front of them underwent a shocking change.  The flags of various colours and shapes that were scattered all around suddenly disappeared without a trace.  The horns of various sound all suddenly stopped.

In the center of the War Hounds army, a large group of black flags suddenly appeared.

This was an army that had not made a move since the beginning of the fight.  They had remained in the center of the War Hounds formation the entire time and had suddenly appeared in this moment.  It was like from within the deep sea, a dangerous hidden rock had suddenly appeared!

This is bad!

The War Hounds still had tricks!

They hadn't used their full strength the entire time and had even pretended to retreat.  It was like the enemy commander had a full understanding of Dongfang Zhan's style and Dongfang Zhan knew nothing about the enemy!

Who was the commander of this army?

Where had such an organized army appear from?

Dongfang Zhan had a strong sense of foreboding within him.  There was a change in the War Hound Plains he could never imagine and the Southern Summer intelligence team had not collected a single piece of information!

"Fang King, Fang King, Fang King!"

The War Hounds army began to call together, just like their emperor was about to appear.
