Chapter 737 A Charge Against the Enemy
Li Mu gnashed his teeth as he watched.
He had never expected that the Dark Yellow Army would have such a heroic and tragic history.
He never knew that the Dark Yellow Army almost unified the entire Ziwei Star Zone.
On the image in the sky, he could vaguely see that the Dark Yellow Army created a high-level civilization and even ushered in an era of prosperity.
Many relics of the past were still in use in the Ziwei Star Zone. The most typical were the Star Posthouses all over the Ziwei Star Zone. They were built by the Dark Yellow Army back then. Later, the six major clans betrayed the Dark Yellow Army, and those posthouses were divided up and shared out among the six major clans.
The betrayal of the six major clans was a disaster for the entire Ziwei Star Zone.
History regressed and the civilization collapsed.
Li Mu felt like he was a ball of fire ignited by the scenes displayed.
The flames in his heart could never be put out.
Blood was burning in his blood vessels and chest.
The nine-headed divine bird cried furiously.
The giant dragon-eating ape threw its head back and let out a long roar.
The two of them appeared in the image in the sky.
The last troop of the Dark Yellow Army was forced to stay outside the sealed battlefield, which was on the periphery of the solar system. After killing the last leader of the Extraterritorial Demons, the allied troops of the six major clans reaped the benefits and besieged the Star Ape Clan and the Phoenix Clan, which were loyal to the Dark Yellow Army, and the remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army.
The allied troops of the six major clans, which had advantages in numbers and supplies, launched a ruthless attack on the last remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army. They wanted to eliminate the bloodlines of the Dark Yellow Army.
Blood dyed the starry sky red.
Drumbeats echoed in the Star River.
The battle lasted for several years.
The remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army broke out with incredible power. Bai Jun, known as the little G.o.d of War of the Dark Yellow Army, preserved the last bloodline in the year.
The remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army suffered heavy losses.
The Star Ape Clan and the Phoenix Clan allied with the Dark Yellow Army had almost been wiped out.
The giant dragon-eating ape was one of the masters of the Star Ape Clan. At the end of the war, it died in the Star River. The six major clans took away its dead body, trained the dead body into a fighting dummy using a secret dummy training technique, and placed the fighting dummy on the battlefield again.
Meanwhile, they also captured, domesticated and suppressed nine-headed divine bird using secret skills.
In the end, the remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army were backed into a corner.
However, the six major clans paid a huge price. If they wanted to eliminate the remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army, they would have to pay an even greater price.
For this reason, the six major clans proposed a truce.
Their condition was very difficult to accept.
“If you take your own life and all the masters above the king-level in the Dark Yellow Army kill themselves, we’re willing to spare the remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army.”
The chiefs of the six major clans proposed such a condition to Bai Jun the G.o.d of War.
The angry officers and soldiers of the remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army found it impossible to accept the condition proposed by the six despicable and shameless clans. They would rather die in the battle than live in this way.
However, Bai Jun the G.o.d of War remained silent for a moment and then agreed to the condition.
“You have to swear in the name of your Great Way that if you betray your oath, you will be condemned by the Divine Way, and the fate and luck of your clans will be destroyed.”
That was the condition proposed by Bai Jun the G.o.d of War.
The masters of the six major clans like their chiefs naturally knew what it meant to swear in the name of the Great Way. The oath that they swore would be sensed and accepted by the Divine Way of the Star River, and it would be an oath that they could never betray. Otherwise, the power of heavenly punishment would break out. In that case, not only would they die, but their clans would also be destroyed and turn into ashes in the Star River.
However, they accepted the condition in the end.
The reason was that they desperately wanted Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, who was a big trouble in their eyes, to die.
Moreover, without Bai Jun the G.o.d of War and top-level masters, the remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army would never be able to make waves in the Ziwei Star Zone, and they would always be under the control of the six major clans. As long as the six major clans did not kill all of them, it would not be deemed a violation of the oath.
Countless sorrowful and indignant Dark Yellow soldiers watched Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, who they regarded as their spiritual stay, unsheathe his sword and kill himself outside the solar system. Several masters above the king-level in the Dark Yellow Army ended their lives to preserve the bloodline of the Dark Yellow Army.
The cruelest and most shameless betrayal in the history of the Ziwei Star Zone came to an end like that.
The six major clans had achieved their despicable goals and took possession of the territories in the Star River by taking advantage of the war between the Extraterritorial Demons and the Dark Yellow Army and the n.o.bility of the Dark Yellow Army.
The remaining troops of the Dark Yellow Army had lost the most powerful combat forces. After their strategic materials, Cultivation Methods, war crafts, resources, and wealth were confiscated, they were exiled to the Star River and became homeless wanderers.
There seemed to be no possibility that a clan without powerful combat forces, resources, and Cultivation Methods would rise again.
However, the six major clans were still worried. They made up a story of sinners, preached that the sinners were evil, and secretly suppressed the talented members of the Dark Yellow Army.
The only thing that worried the six major clans was that they did not know well about what happened in the sealed battlefield, and that they could not enter the solar system after the battlefield was sealed. The solar system had become the only place in the Ziwei Star Zone that they could not set foot in.
In the end, the six major clans took away the dead body of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War and started to rule the Ziwei Star Zone. They divided the Ziwei Star Zone into their territories and established their own systems of power.
The Star Ape Clan and the Phoenix Clan that were loyal to the Dark Yellow Army were suppressed. The Star Ape Clan was almost sealed within the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits of the home planet, and the Phoenix Clan had even lost their territory!
The power of darkness finally fell upon the Dark Yellow Army, its descendants, and the clans allied with it.
At this point, the display of the history in the image in the sky came to an end.
It was not until then that Li Mu understood why a deity like Bai Jun the G.o.d of War would die and why the descendants of the Dark Yellow Army still existed in the Star River instead of being wiped out by the six major clans.
He remembered a story that he had read in a history book.
In the Qing dynasty, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell, s.h.i.+ Dakai, also known as Wing King, and the army led by him were besieged by the troops of the Qing government at the Dadu River. In order to avoid a ma.s.sacre and save the lives of the officers and soldiers under his command, he finally entered the enemy’s camp alone, hoping to sacrifice his life in exchange for an opportunity for his officers and soldiers to take off their armor and go home. Unfortunately, he failed. He was put to death by a thousand cuts, and all his soldiers were slaughtered.
Similar to s.h.i.+ Dakai’s tragedy, the experience of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War was also tragic.
However, Bai Jun the G.o.d of War was much smarter than s.h.i.+ Dakai.
He killed himself in exchange for the continuation of the bloodline of the Dark Yellow Army in the Ziwei Star Zone.
No matter what, both of them were heroes.
Many things that happened later were displayed in the image in the sky. The purpose was obviously to provoke Bai Jun the G.o.d of War. In the Star River, the descendants of the Dark Yellow Army were oppressed and bullied, and they wandered and lead a miserable life… Many families broke up, many people were decimated, and many others were separated from their wives and children…
Li Mu clearly saw that the eyes of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War began to flame with anger.
Obviously, watching what he knew before his death might make Bai Jun the G.o.d of War roar. After all, he was mentally prepared, so he would not explode in anger. However, after he saw what happened in the Star River after his death and the miserable experiences of the descendants of the Dark Yellow Army, his impulse to roar became almost uncontrollable.
The giant dragon-eating ape, Rock, was enraged when he saw that the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits was in such a miserable situation, the people of the Dark Yellow Army were sealed and imprisoned on the home planet, and the masters of the Star Ape Clan were either killed or prohibited from practicing.
“Commander-in-chief, they… they have gone too far!” Rock roared furiously.
The nine-headed divine bird let out a long, angry cry.
It saw that the people of the Phoenix Clan became homeless, and they were almost wiped out, kept as pets, and even bullied and humiliated…
As the ancestors of the two clans, they could not accept the reality.
“Ha-ha-ha, Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, Rock, Feng Jiu, this is what it means to be the winner and the loser. This has been the case since ancient times. However, you should not feel wronged. He-he, if we hadn’t risen to rebellion and stopped the Dark Yellow Army from ruling the Star River, the descendants of our clans would have been leading a more miserable life!”
The chief of the Heavenly Deity Clan laughed wildly and triumphantly.
Rock said angrily, “Pooh! Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourselves to the Deity Clan? If the Deity Clan hadn’t rescued you from the hands of Extraterritorial Demons and enlightened you back then, you would still be living the life of barbarians on your planet…”
“Deity Clan? Ha-ha, the Dark Yellow Army is just a clan that has been ruled out. Does it deserve to be called a Deity Clan?” The ancestor of the Blue Wave Clan sneered.
The ancestor of the East Forest Clan said, “Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, we have kept you for a thousand years. Your divine blood is destined to be used by us today. We know how to increase the power of your divine blood by enraging you. You have been dead for a very long time. Now, you are just a peerless medicinal herb planted by us.”
“Ha-ha, as long as we take you as a ‘medicine’, we can break through the barriers of our clans and enter the Deity Realm. At that time, we can break the oath that we swore. There will be nothing that can restrict us, and the Dark Yellow Army will disappear from this world forever,” said the ancestor of the Nether Ghost Clan.
Those ancestors seemed to be talking nonsense, but in fact, they were deliberately trying to enrage Bai Jun the G.o.d of War.
They were not afraid that Bai Jun the G.o.d of War might turn around the situation.
He might be very powerful, but he was already dead.
Furthermore, they had planned for a thousand years, and they knew how to deal with Bai Jun the G.o.d of War. They were not afraid of any unexpected change.
At this time, Li Mu was extremely worried.
“Bai Jun the G.o.d of War is dead. It is difficult for the obsessions of his physical body to last long.
“Although the chiefs of the six major clans have not entered the Deity Realm, they have already reached… Well, how should I put it? I don’t know much about this level. Perhaps I should call them ‘fake G.o.ds’.”
The six “fake G.o.ds” joined hands to attack the physical body of a dead G.o.d. Moreover, they had planned this for a very long time. If they were not confident, they would not show up at all.
Before the ancestors of the six major clans showed up, the high-level masters and even the chiefs of those clans did not know that their ancestors were still alive.
“The boiling blood will tear apart the darkness eventually. Those who play dirty tricks may not have the last laugh. The schemer is also in the game.” The voice of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War echoed between heaven and earth.
His voice was tinged with divinity and majesty.
He looked at the giant dragon-eating ape beside him and said loudly, “The commander of the third battalion of the 109th corps of the Dark Yellow Army, Rock.”
In a trance, the giant dragon-eating ape seemed to have returned to the glorious days when he followed the commander-in-chief to fight against the enemies in the Star River. He got down on one knee and said loudly, “Yes, sir.”
Bai Jun the G.o.d of War said, “Charge at the enemy.”
The giant dragon-eating ape got up and made an ancient but familiar military salute. “I’m at your command.”
He turned around and charged at the ancestors of the six major clans with the greatest force that he could exert.
He was determined to charge at the enemy, regardless of his life.
He was going to fight to the death.
