Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All of a sudden, countless torches were thrown from the city wall. Their surrounding area was illuminated by firelight.
Bang!
As soon as the torches touched the burning oil on the ground and walls, it burst into flame. The fire quickly spread around the area.
The soldiers of the Ice Troops who were standing towards the front were surrounded by fire. Since they could not use their True Core Strength, they all melted.
"Sh*t!"
"Withdraw!"
"They are very wicked! They are trying to kill us with fire!"
"Do not push me! Retreat!"
"F*ck! My feet are on fire!"
It was total chaos. Soldiers from behind tried running to the front, soldiers in front tried to run behind!
They all tread in the burning oil. Many soldiers were on fire and screamed in great pain.
The smoke rose up from the crowd.
What a terrible scene. Thousands of soldiers were being devoured by the fire!
Xu Que stopped laughing. In fact he also felt that it was a bit cruel to kill them in this way. But if he did not kill them, then the soldiers of the Snow City would be the ones to die.
That was why he had decided to burn them to death in the first place. Once the soldiers of the Ice Troops were frightened enough by this, he would definitely win.
The screaming persisted as countless soldiers of the Ice Troops lost their lives in the sea of fire.
The bowmen at the back of the army were totally stunned. Their faces all turned to pale and they sat very still.
The General was shocked and so angry that he clenched his fists. The dead soldiers were all his subordinates—how could he not be furious?
"How wicked you are! How dare you do this!" the General shouted to the city wall.
Hearing this, the Snow City soldiers upon the city wall all lowered their heads, feeling a little sad about what they had done.
At this moment, Xu Que stepped forward and shouted, "They are traitors! They invaded your country! They killed your peers and looted us! Do you really think you should let them go?"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Snow City did not reply.
Yes! They invaded us, killed our families, looted our houses and imprisoned our Water Empress. Why should we feel sorry for them?
Xu Que continued to speak. "They are cruel! If we feel sorry for them, we are being cruel to ourselves! Do you really think you should let them go?"
The soldiers on the city wall were all convinced by Xu Que"s words.
"Yes! We shall kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
They all shouted together.
Seeing their peers burning in the fire and hearing the voices coming from the city wall, the soldiers of the Ice Troops freaked out and looked towards the city wall in a daze.
The soldiers of Snow City had become such a cruel and ferocious army!
They are occupying our city wall and killing our peers with fire. We cannot use our True Core Strength, which means that we are no different from mortals here. How can we defeat them?
All of a sudden, all the soldiers of the Ice Troops felt very tired. They no longer wanted to fight.
…
The General was speechless. He looked at Xu Que and felt very surprised by what he had done.
"Who is this guy? He is so young, but he is already so good at lifting the morale of the soldiers! Who is he?"
During a war, aside from the strength of a soldier, the next most important thing was having a general who understood how to lift the morale of his soldiers.
No matter how physically powerful an army was, once the soldiers became dispirited, they would still be bound to lose!
Xu Que clearly knew this, which was why he was using his words so deftly to lift the spirits of his peers.
…
Inside the cave, all the events happening outside were projected in the mirror.
Liu Jingning was completely shocked by what she had seen.
She had never expected that young man to be so cruel, and so effective at raising the morale of his peers. He had managed to completely change the energy of the soldiers of the Snow City, which would otherwise have been just a normal army. Furthermore, he had almost frightened her soldiers to death!
"It... it is impossible!"
Liu Jingning suddenly turned around and shouted, "Jiang Hong Yan, tell me who this young man is! Is he your Holy Son? That can"t be possible. He is just at Level 8 of the Infant Transformation Stage, so he cannot be a Holy Son!"
Hong Yan smiled. "He comes from Fire Country, and he grew up in the Five Elements Mountain. But with his strength, he is definitely qualified to become a Holy Son!"
"Nonsense! It is impossible for there to be a Holy Son in the Five Elements Mountain!" Liu Jingning was shocked.
"You should leave with your soldiers now, otherwise, you will all be killed!" Hongyan said gently.
Hearing this, Liu Jingning was alarmed. "No, you are lying!" she insisted. "You think I would believe your words?"
Hong Yan spoke, "I just do not want that young man to kill anyone else anymore. He has already killed too many. Such acts committed at such a young age will make life very tough for him in the future!"
Liu Jingning sneered. "He is only at Level 10 of the Infant Transformation Stage. I don"t see what difference he could make!"
Hongyan stopped talking, a wry smile on her lips. She closed her eyes again and continued to fight against the restrictive enchantments with her True Core Strength!
In her heart, she already knew that Xu Que would win.
Liu Jingning was furious and sneered. "Jiang Hong Yan, you can"t scare me! It is only because my soldiers cannot use their True Core Strength here that they failed to fight back! Do not forget, I have already occupied all of Water Nation! If I want to kill him, I would be able to kill him right now."
Kill him right now?
Hong Yan had heard someone say the exact same thing in the past.
Tian Sha, who was at Level 8 of the Infant Transformation Stage, had once uttered this exact sentence. But he had been killed by Xu Que in the end.
Now, is it your turn? Does this mean you will be killed by Xu Que?
Thinking of this, Hong Yan smiled.
The restrictive enchantment behind her began to twist and s.h.i.+ft.
…
Outside, the battle was getting more and more intense!
The General had now changed tactics. He ordered the bowmen to shoot their arrows from a great distance, and gathered the remaining soldiers. He then divided them into many small teams. Each team had around a hundred people. At last, he asked all the soldiers to move towards the city wall from all directions.
Xu Que had plenty of burning oil, but he felt that it would be a bit too cruel to kill his enemies in this way. He was worried that this might create some psychological problems for Situ and the soldiers of the Snow City.
In fact, his concerns did make sense. Since the beginning of the battle, Situ had been standing next to him and she had not made a sound at all.
Now, Xu Que decided to change tactics too!
"System, how many Acting Tough Points do I need to pay to buy a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow? 10 Acting Tough Points for a hundred crossbows? Fine, give me 5000 crossbows." He paused. "By the way, give me "King of Wushu" and "Dragon Subduing Palms" as well. Since the body"s own internal force is not been restricted here, it is time for me to give them a good show!"
