“We have no intention of being enemies with Your Highness, Heavenly King.” A muffled voice came from under the blue-robed warrior's helmet. Dozens of cavalrymen stared intently at Jiang Wenji and the others, leaving after saying that sentence.
“I will report everything that happened here to the Emperor.”
“Even if the Emperor himself questions me, I will not be afraid.” Jiang Wenji smiled at him, supporting herself with her sword.
After watching those people leave, she finally turned her gaze back to the woman and the young man in front of her.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.” Jiang Wenji looked at the two, feeling a sense of how easily time passes and how things change.
“Yes, I didn’t expect to meet you under these circumstances. I also didn’t expect that you would become a King, while my brother and I have been wandering around.” The woman also sighed softly.
Jiang Wen, who was beside her, understood some of the situation. He had heard Jiang Wenji recount her past. Jiang Wenji was a member of the Taicang royal family, the daughter of the Li King of Licheng. However, her background was unfortunate, as her biological mother was just a slave. The officials and people of Licheng all believed that her bloodline was impure, so she was not recognized by the people of Licheng.
To avoid future misfortune, Jiang Wenji decided to seek opportunities in the old lands, just like most of the Jiang clan relatives, to change her fate.
And the greatest help her father, the Li King, gave her was allowing her to borrow thousands of tribal warriors from the Tuoba clan. If she hadn't accidentally met Jiang Wen, she might have died on the way, and she wouldn't have the reputation of the Heavenly King of Tianyuan City today.
“If you want to laugh at us, then go ahead and laugh. Not only did we not inherit the position of King, but we even lost Licheng.” The woman said with a nonchalant expression.
And the young man in her arms looked at Jiang Wenji with a blank expression, a hint of envy in his heart.
To be able to wear armor and fight, commanding thousands of troops. This was a dream that the young man had had since he was a child.
“Laugh? Why would I laugh?” Jiang Wenji said calmly. “I am now a Heavenly King, so what if you inherited Licheng? Don't worry, I can still accommodate my younger brother and sister.”
After saying that, she ordered someone to send the two back to the rear army camp to deal with them after the frontline battle ended.
Back in the camp, Jiang Wenji gathered many generals.
The military camp in the tribal territory had been repaired, reinforced with animal skins and blankets, enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
The stove in the tent crackled and popped, and a map made of illusions was projected onto the table.
This was a unique spell of the Immortal cultivators, capable of showing the surrounding mountains and rivers in the palm of their hand. Jiang Wen looked at the map, although he didn't understand military affairs. But after following Jiang Wenji for so long, he had learned a few things.
Looking at the direction of the alien race's movement on the map, he felt that it would be best to ambush them in this canyon. He told Jiang Wenji, and she agreed.
“I also think it’s good to set up an ambush here. Both sides are steep slopes, and it will be difficult for them to run. This gathering together has given us an excellent opportunity. If we can annihilate them all, the threat behind Tianyuan City will be reduced in the future.”
“Prepare to raise shields!” The squad leaders shouted hoarsely, the chaotic scene was like carps crossing the river, rolling and surging, densely packed and uncountable.
And behind the line of defense, several huge catapults were erected. Beside the dozens of feet high frame, giants were manually loading the huge rocks that had been transported, moving them onto the catapults.
The cavalrymen gathered together, and the bright red fighting spirit gradually formed a totem. It was a dragon, a tiger, and countless symbols of tribal will.
They stood in a triangular formation side by side, quietly waiting on the hillside for the opportunity. And the tribal warriors holding shields in front of the formation stood side by side, tightly gripping their unique thick shields, and sharp spears protruded from the gaps in the shields, pointing directly at the charging alien races not far away.
“— Hoo!”
The catapult made a violent noise.
The huge rocks were thrown out and then fell from the sky.
It crashed heavily into the alien race, stirring up countless mud and flesh. The aliens who were hit died on the spot and turned into minced meat.
The retaliation that followed was the witchcraft of the alien races. It was like countless fireflies falling like a torrential rain, splashing on the ground and spreading into a violent explosion.
Many fireflies were blocked in the sky by the cultivators who followed. These cultivators gathered together to form a huge defensive formation. Then countless huge stones fell like rain, smashing the defensive formation in the sky with golden light.
The defensive formation consumed too much mana, and many cultivators with low cultivation levels were struggling to maintain it. In wave after wave of attacks, some defensive formations showed signs of cracking.
“Let these alien races see how powerful we are!” In an angry shout, the crimson light gradually gathered, and the starlight-like flames formed a ball, and then burst out with a huge sound.
The firelight crashed into the green and yellow sea of alien beasts with a roar, setting off a huge shock wave, obliterating everything within a few hundred meters.
The alien races approached the line of defense, and the archers raised the bows in their hands. After a brief gathering of strength, the arrows carried powerful force like a whirlwind, shooting through the foremost alien races, and then stringing several people together into meat skewers.
The priests of the alien races were not to be outdone, and they all used flesh and blood to sacrifice witchcraft. Countless earth dragons rose from behind the tribal warriors, opening their huge toothed mouths to devour a warrior, and then they were chopped into pieces by the warriors who swarmed up.
The two sides fought extremely fiercely. The alien races had lost a large number of cannon fodder before approaching the Tianyuan City defense line. The catapults fired intermittently, and each loud noise took away dozens or hundreds of lives.
Densely packed carapace insects pounced on the warriors of the defense line. Caught off guard, some soldiers were poisoned and died after being bitten, turning into coke. The cultivators soared in the sky to defend, the lightning and flames still did not stop, and the defensive array was as thin as paper, and it looked like it could not hold on.
Huge beasts charged towards the Tianyuan City position, stomping and roaring. They charged and rammed, and were finally beheaded by the cultivators with spells and magic weapons.
In the alien race group, a burst of sharp bone spurs were thrown out, and the huge force shot through the thick bronze shields of the tribal warriors, nailing the warriors to the ground. When someone fell, someone would fill the gap. The battle was inextricably fought.
Some cultivators maintained the operation of the defensive array, and some prepared spells.
Countless ice cones and lightning rose into the air, turning into a sea of fire dragons and electric stones, smashing into the alien race. Countless alien races wailed and rolled in the flames, and were trampled to death by the alien races behind them.
