Chapter 413 - Wave of Demonic BeastsLong Chen couldn"t figure out what was so strange about the Sword Emperor at the moment.
During the morning a.s.sembly on the second day, whether or not Lin Zichen left the imperial city, he would make a decision. When Lin Batian went to the morning a.s.sembly, Long Chen would wait at the Qiwen Palace for a while, before quickly returning. Long Chen quickly asked: "Your Highness, how is it?"
"We are about to face a huge challenge. There is no time left. We will talk as we walk. Let us first go to the imperial city"s imperial guards and transfer them to the Three Thousand Ghost Horse Heavy Riding s!"
Transfer out three thousand Ghost Horse Heavy Riding? Long Chen was slightly startled, and thought in his heart, Could it be that instead of letting Lin Zichen take action, Sword Emperor allowed Lin Batian to take action instead? One had to know, within that herd of beasts, was a beast said to have Ninth Grade Earth Grade above, and without Lin Zichen, it was impossible for Lin Batian to deal with it.
"Your Highness, could it be that His Majesty wants you to deal with the demon beast horde by yourself?" During the journey, Long Chen asked.
"No, just now, my royal father announced in front of all the officials that he wanted me and Lin Zichen to go to the Northern Jiang City. They will specially send people to supervise and suppress the chaos caused by the demon beasts in the Northern Jiang City, and whoever performs more meritorious deeds will become the crown prince. That is to say, we have to fight against Lin Zichen in the Northern Jiang City!" Lin Batian"s tone of voice did not sound fl.u.s.tered, it was instead filled with strong fighting spirit.
After killing First Commander yesterday, he had let Lin Batian and Lin Zichen clash. As expected, Sword Emperor was annoyed, and with the chaos occurring in the north now, other than Lin Zichen, no one else could deal with him. Hence, the Sword Emperor would very easily send Lin Zichen out.
As for including Lin Batian, it was within Long Chen"s expectations, but it would not affect his plans at all, as long as he could get Lin Zichen out, his goal would be accomplished.
"Your Highness, don"t worry, when that time comes, I will definitely be able to stop Lin Zichen from a.s.sa.s.sinating you. In last night"s battle, I still haven"t used my true strength yet." Long Chen patted his chest and said confidently.
"Really? That will depend on you. Honestly speaking, Lin Zichen is very difficult to deal with, even you can"t win against him, so this time Royal Father strictly forbade Lin Zichen from making a move against me to ensure fairness. He will send people to supervise, so your mission this time, is most important to create a greater achievement for me! "
Long Chen hurriedly nodded.
In this world where strength reigns supreme, everything depended on strength. Although Lin Zichen was inferior to Lin Batian in other aspects, in the Sword Emperor"s heart, his direct descendant should be Lin Zichen, but he was unwilling to have Lin Batian, his son, become a cripple from now on. Even the gossip of the other people in the Canyang Kingdom gave Lin Batian this seemingly fair opportunity.
When he went to the Jiang City, Lin Zichen would immediately kill the strongest Goblin Beast. With his strength, he would ma.s.sacre everyone there, so how could Lin Batian be his opponent?"Your Highness, is Lin Zichen coming with us?" Long Chen thought of this question.
"NO!" Father said just now, that the demon beasts in the north are currently in a hibernating state right now, so it might take some time to attack the Jiang City. Even with his speed, rus.h.i.+ng to the Jiang City first would be useless, as this battle is fair, Father gave me this chance, so I must fight for it! "
As they spoke, the two of them quickly rushed to the Imperial City Guard Army. In this place, other than the Guard and the Anti-Central Army, there was another Imperial Family army. The fighting strength of the soldiers there were similar to that of the Anti-Central Army.
Lin Batian was the direct leader of the imperial guards, and when he rushed into the main camp of the imperial guards, a group of people immediately came out to kowtow. Lin Batian immediately said in a clear voice: "All eight Great Generals, lead the three thousand elite Ghost Horse Heavy Riding, and enter the northern Jiang City!"
"Yes sir!"
Everyone accepted the order, and after a while, the rumbles of hoof steps could be heard, and the three thousand elite Ghost Horse Heavy Riding appeared in front of Long Chen."Brother Yang!" "Get on the horse!"
Lin Batian rode his tallest horse, holding onto one of the ghost horses in his hand, he swept towards Long Chen. He jumped on his horse, followed Lin Batian, and the eight Great Generals of the imperial guards, rumbled out of the imperial city and headed towards the northern Jiang City!
Those who were able to command the three thousand Ghost Horse Heavy Riding were all important figures. When the first person recognized Lin Batian, their ident.i.ty was quickly spread amongst the crowd.
"The mighty man leading us must be the First Prince, Lin Batian! The eight men behind him were the eight generals of the imperial guards! I heard that there are two eighth level of the Milky Way Realm s among them! "
"Of course, but who is the young man beside the First Prince? He was just one step behind, but his status seemed to be even higher than those eight generals? "
"Who knows?"
Amidst the discussions, the Ghost Horse Heavy Riding walked out of the imperial city and left in a cloud of dust.All the way north!
Long Chen turned to look at the eight Great Generals. The strength of these eight Great Generals were a little stronger than the seven generals of the Guard, and the two leaders among them had eighth level of the Milky Way Realm, so their strength should be around the same as the First Commander. Adding First Commander to the mix, these three people should be considered as the strongest left arm and right shoulder under the First Prince"s command. Of course, in the eyes of the First Prince, there was an additional Long Chen.
"Brother Chen, where do you think Lin Zichen will be?" Thinking of this person, Ling Xi also felt extremely disgusted.
"He"s still in the vicinity of the Imperial City, if he wants to take care of Lin Batian, he probably won"t do anything, and we can"t do anything either. But once he"s out of here, if he appears, I"ll immediately reveal my ident.i.ty, and take revenge!"
At the same time, two old men from eighth level of the Milky Way Realm also followed. They should be experts sent by the Sword Emperor to supervise Lin Zichen and Lin Batian, and to evaluate their battle achievements at the same time. These two should be the trusted aides of the Sword Emperor! "
"Oh, I understand. They can"t catch up with Lin Zichen, so they just follow him. As long as they follow him, that"s enough."
Long Chen nodded, and said: "Right now, everything is going according to my plan. All we need to do now is to wait for us to leave the vicinity of the Imperial City, and then Lin Zichen to appear. I think my appearance here will give him a huge surprise. "
Back then, when Lin Zichen forced Ling Xi to abandon the Herba Euphorbiae and even almost took Long Chen"s life, he thought that Long Chen had completely went silent.
The three thousand Ghost Horse Heavy Riding s carried a thick cloud of smoke and dust, and like a colossus, quickly headed towards the northern Jiang City. As they travelled, time slowly pa.s.sed, several days pa.s.sed in a row, and they were finally able to kill Lin Zichen, but Lin Zichen did not appear."Looks like the Sword Emperor really doesn"t allow Lin Zichen to make a move on Lin Batian. Lin Zichen, you choose to stay hidden, but once you reach the Jiang City, if you want to establish your achievements, you will definitely show up. At that time, you will be dead!" Long Chen secretly swore in his heart.
The distance between the northern Jiang City and the imperial city was even further than the Source Spirit City. Furthermore, it was also the border city of the Canyang Kingdom, and its level was similar to the Source Spirit City"s.
These few days, Lin Batian had collected enough information. Amongst the demon beast horde, most of them were Profound Ranked Spirit Beasts. There weren"t many Earth Ranked Spirit Beasts, but there was an extraordinary demon beast.
"That demon beast might not be the original demon beast from Snow Peak Mountain Range. It might have come here from the outside and found that the people around it were weak. That"s why it was so arrogant!" Lin Batian said.
Out of the three thousand Ghost Horse Heavy Riding, most of their time was spent on rus.h.i.+ng, and they only had a small amount of time to rest. But to be able to become a Ghost Horse Heavy Riding, and to be called an elite, they basically all had a high level of Milky Way Realm, which was tiring, and they could still endure it.
As for the Ghost Horses, they were full of energy and blood. They had been able to hold on even after travelling for a period of time. Finally, after about ten days, a city around the size of Source Spirit City appeared in front of them.
At this time, Long Chen looked over and saw that outside the city walls, there were already many spirit beasts gathered there. Most of them were Spirit Demon Beasts, with tens of thousands of them gathered together, it was extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, there were no flying demonic beasts. Otherwise, the city gate would have been completely useless.
From afar, Long Chen could already hear the heaven shaking battle cries and the angry howls of demon beasts. Everywhere they looked, were broken limbs and corpses.
"Heavens, have these demon beasts gone mad?" If not for the great hatred, the Jiang City would not have been able to withstand such a life threatening attack. At this rate, the Jiang City might not be able to hold on for long.
On top of the city gate tower, the Jiang City"s mayor was currently carrying the various masters of the Jiang City"s martial arts. Their eyes were gloomy as they watched the slaughter below."It"s fine now, I can still hold on. However, when that demon beast appears, Jiang City will definitely be annihilated," the Jiang City City Lord sighed and said helplessly.
"City Lord, there seems to be an Earth Stage demon beast over there, right?" One of the old men said.
"Capture the thief and capture the king. We cannot let your Earth Rank Demonic Beast kill more people. I will go deal with him. Everyone, you guys stay here and take charge of the situation!"
"City Lord, let me do it. You are the only Third Stage of the Milky Way Realm expert of my Jiang City, you should save your strength. I can deal with this Earth Rank Level One demon beast." Another old man said decisively.
As he said this, a rumbling sound could be heard. Everyone"s hearts trembled as they quickly looked towards the south. At this moment, there was a large amount of yellow smoke coming from the horizon. In the midst of the smoke and dust, a black cavalry unit could faintly be seen!
