Chapter 205: Chapter 167 North Prince Disregards Martial Morality!
Translator: 549690339
“If I truly conquer North City, then Great Sum will inevitably use its national strength to attack me. My coming to North City was merely to take back what the Sky Wolf King promised me.”
Unknown years have passed since the Sky Wolf King’s tribe migrated to the North Land, and every year they would plunder the south, yet they never conquered North City.
The North Fre King also knew that Great Sum valued land tremendously, so he didn’t believe he could occupy the lands of North City forever. Once the Great Sum court reacted, a great army would undoubtedly be dispatched to the north.
Thus, the North Ere King’s purpose for this expedition was very simple: to seize women, grain, and supplies.
As long as he achieved his goals, he would retreat immediately, without staying in North City for too long.
Once back in the North Land, the Great Sum troops would be powerless against them.
At this moment, a vanguard Barbarian Tribe soldier approached the North Pre King, “Great King, we discovered horses within Tianguang City, they didn’t even take the horses with them!”
Hearing this, the North Pre King laughed loudly, “Hahaha, the people of Great Sum are truly a bunch of rubbish.”
“It seems they fled so hastily that they left all the resources of Tianguang City behind, which will serve as our supplies just fine.”
“Come, take me to their barracks and let’s see what good things they’ve left for me.”
No sooner had the North Pre King led his great army toward Tianguang City’s inner city when suddenly the grand gates of Tianguang City closed.
The Barbarian Tribe soldiers quickly spotted the North City soldiers at the gates, and sensing something was amiss, they immediately sounded the war horns.
Upon hearing the war horn blasts from behind, the North Pre King paused for a moment, then turning his horse around, he asked, “What’s happening?” Before anyone could answer the North Pre King’s question, iron balls started dropping from above.
The Barbarian Tribe soldiers quickly realized what was happening.
“Enemy attack!!!”
“We’ve been tricked; the Great Sum soldiers haven’t run away!!!”
“Watch your heads!!!”
In an instant, the North Pre King’s several hundred thousand army was thrown into chaos.
By this point, the North Pre King had come to his senses, and realizing not only had the Great Sum army not fled but had encircled them, he sneered, “Cowards are cowards, do they think such deceitful tricks can defeat my great army?” Suddenly, the North Pre King bellowed, “All troops on guard, follow me and charge!!!”
As his voice fell, the Messenger Soldier beside the North Pre King took out a war horn and started blowing it.
Wooo—
Wooo—
The sound of the horns echoed through the skies above Tianguang City. Soon after that, the soldiers of North Pre stabilized, but before they could locate the enemy, those iron balls dropping among them exploded with a thunderous roar.
Countless iron fragments from the Thunderous blasts pierced through the Barbarian Tribe soldiers’ furs and clothes. With each explosion, a large swath of Barbarian Tribe soldiers fell.
Seeing this spectacle, the North Pre King was struck dumb, and once again, his great army plunged into utter chaos.
“Heavens! What kind of weapon is this!”
“Heavenly Thunder, it’s Heavenly Thunder, North City has an Immortal!!!”
“Run for your lives!”
“I don’t want to die!!!”
Watching the disarray of his troops and the flying limbs, the North Pre King’s mind went blank.
What exactly was this iron ball weapon, and why was its power so immense!
Realizing the dire situation, the North Pre King quickly commanded, “Break out with me!”
Immediately after, the North Fre King’s army turned direction and charged towards the city gates, intending to break out of Tianguang City.
Even if the North Fre King was slow to grasp the situation, by now he must have realized why the Sky Wolf King’s army of three hundred thousand fell at North City, at the hands of the North Prince.
Such terrifying weapons simply could not be defeated by manpower!
The North Prince has no martial honor!
At this moment, the sounds of horns still lingered above Tianguang City, mixed with the earth-shaking drumbeats and the explosive noises of the Thunderous, making the Barbarian Tribe soldiers feel as if they had gone deaf.
They only heard a buzzing in their ears and couldn’t hear any other sounds.
Scared witless, the Barbarian Tribe soldiers madly collided with the North City soldiers at the gateway. Unfortunately, the highest concentration of Thunderous blasts was at the gateway, not to mention the grenade launchers that Lu Chen hadn’t used up last time.
The power of the 122mm grenade launcher was much greater than that of the Thunderous. Regardless of how many Barbarian Tribe soldiers charged, they would fall en masse, and soon their corpses piled up into a small hill.
Due to the explosion sounds of the Thunderous, the horses of the Barbarian Tribe soldiers were so frightened that they were no longer under control, quickly disrupting their cavalry formation. A large-scale stampede erupted within Tianguang City, similar to the one that happened during the Sky Wolf King’s assault on North City.
Many Barbarian Tribe soldiers were thrown to the ground by their mounts, only to be directly trampled by other soldiers’ warhorses, leaving countless Barbarian Tribe soldiers disfigured beyond recognition by their own mounts.
Seeing limbs flying in all directions, the North Fre King’s entire mind was in a state of shock, unable to comprehend why Great Sum had such terrifying weapons.
He had never heard of Great Sum possessing such devastating war machines.
Meanwhile, atop the city walls, Lu Chen looked indifferently at all that was unfolding before him.
By Lu Chen’s side, Xiao Pengthian stared intently at the battlefield before him, but his mind was continuously replaying the memories of the Sky Wolf King’s three hundred thousand strong army attacking Yan County..
