Chapter 99: Chaotic Life

  Outside Linjin City.

  After a fierce battle that lasted for half an hour, the meadow was piled high with corpses. The blood had long since cooled and mixed with the mud to form red ice blocks.

  The men of the Tuoba family have all been lost, and no one has returned alive to Linjin City.

  The armor of the Hawk Squad was stained with blood, and the crimson cloak floating behind them was also soaked in blood. However, these were all someone else's blood.

  Behind them were hundreds of valiant Ulin City light cavalry. The deaths of over 5,000 Linjin City warriors also took the lives of nearly a thousand Ulin City light cavalry. Of the 1,700 Ulin City light cavalry who participated in this battle, more than half have now been lost.

  But for the light cavalry, this was undoubtedly a great victory. Such achievements would be enough to earn them heroic glory when they returned to Wulin City. As for the comrades who died in battle... every man who embarked on this path had always been prepared to die at any moment.

  For the border town of Wulin City, battles are really too common. For many warriors, this is even a rare carnival!

  Because of their victory, they were extremely proud and looked down at the defenders on the walls of Linjin City, making all sorts of provocative noises.

  Lin Feng grasped his war spear, gazing at Linjin City from afar. On the city wall, that white-clothed girl as pale as snow had also stopped dancing, her eyes fixed fiercely on the Hawk Squad.

  To be exact, it was Lin Feng who was being stared at.

  Beside the girl, Tuoba Hong seemed to have aged a decade in an instant. His robust body slumped down, his eyes devoid of any vitality, filled only with endless despair.

  "Let's leave, sir!" A tall and sturdy military officer walked over and said loudly, "Although we have lost our main force, the naval warships are still here. We still have time to board the ships and leave Linjin City. As long as we get on the ships, the people of Luoyun Sect will be powerless against us."

  "Leave? Leave Linjin City, where are we going?" Tuoba Hong's expression was gloomy, and he said hoarsely, "Where is there a more lush grassland? Where is there a more beautiful lake?"

  "But if we don't leave now, it will be too late!" The officer said urgently.

  Tuoba Hong's face fell, and he smiled wryly: "Heh heh! My Tuoba clan has been here in Linjin City for hundreds of years since our ancestor Tuoba Ye. This is our home, where can we go if we leave? The young men of our clan have already shed their blood, now it's our turn! They died, how can we still show our faces and live?"

  "Let the disciples of Lu Yun Sect see how a man from Tuoba family dies!"

  The officer nodded vigorously and stood by silently, saying nothing more.

  Tuoba Hong looked at Tuoba Xue standing on the chest wall and smiled bleakly: "Xue'er, are you afraid?"

  "Xuě ér bù pà!" Tuòbá Xuě turned her head to look at her grandfather, smiled slightly, "If I die, I'll just merge with this vast land, what's there to be afraid of?"

  "Haha! Well said, you're indeed the granddaughter of Tuoba Hong!" Tuoba Hong exclaimed with a hearty laugh.

  Tuoba Xue turned her head and her gaze fell on Lin Feng once again.

  She hated the heavy cavalry of Xuanjia, hated every single one of the hunting eagle squad. It was they who drained the blood of the young men in the tribe, and led the Tuoba clan into a disaster that threatened their very existence.

  And she especially hated this seemingly thin guy, not only because she almost got shot dead by him with an arrow, but also because in the previous battle, this knight killed the most Tuoba warriors.

  Unfortunately, a glare cannot kill someone; otherwise, Lin Feng would have been hacked to pieces by her!

  Lin Feng's gaze swept over Tuoba Xue with a hint of indifference, directly ignoring the girl's angry glare. In his time in Blackstone Town, he had seen all sorts of gazes, and if this could stir up any ripples in his heart, then he wouldn't be Lin Feng.

  The other party's hatred for him was naturally clear to Lin Feng. That arrow shot at the mast had absolutely no intention of showing mercy.

  This is a battlefield of life and death, the opponent is an enemy who poses a great threat to our side. Even if you have an extraordinary appearance, how can I possibly hesitate for a moment?

  "You must be very curious about who I am, just let you remember me!"

  Lin Feng gently pulled up his mask, gave a brilliant smile to the girl on the city wall, and then slowly pulled down his mask again.

  Tuoba Xue saw Lin Feng's handsome face and her slender body trembled slightly.

  "How can someone so young have such a cold heart?"

  Before on the battlefield, Lin Feng's performance was completely in her eyes. It was a cold and ruthless killing machine, accurately and quickly harvesting the lives of Tuoba family warriors, without any hesitation at all.

  "He knew I was looking at him, so he deliberately let me see his appearance."

  "He's provoking me!"

  "If I survive, I will definitely kill you and avenge the Tuoba clan!" The flames of anger burned in Tuoba Xue's eyes.

  The flame also dimmed immediately: "Unfortunately, I can no longer live on."

  Although the Luoyun Sect has the best reputation among the three major sects, it is absolutely not a benevolent organization. For such desperate enemies, after breaching the city, they would show no mercy, and at least the entire family of the city lord would not survive.

  Besides, the light cavalry of Wulin City had also shed enough blood, how could they allow themselves to live on?

  …………

  Ma Lian'er coughed softly and suppressed the turmoil in her chest, saying in a delicate voice: "Lao Yun, what's taking you so long?"

  Yun Zhiya hummed and asked through a voice transmission: "Are... you feeling better?"

  Ma Lian'er's body trembled, and she transmitted a message: "What's going on? I'm fine! In this kind of battle, could it be that I'd still have trouble?"

  "It's all right." Yun Zhiya nodded and raised his arm high.

  Everyone in the Falcon Team gripped their battle spears tightly.

  "Break through from the right! Chen Gang and Lin Feng, suppress them with bows and arrows at any time, got it?" Yun Zhiya shouted.

  "Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

  Linjin Lake is located on the left side of Linjin City. In the first battle, the Falcon Team chose this direction. During the battle, several bed crossbows were also urgently transferred to this direction.

  Now Cloud Strife chooses to attack the right wing of the castle wall, thus avoiding more city head crossbows.

  The three-zhang-high city wall of Linjing City was nothing to the Falcon Team. Although they were wearing heavy armor, a single pole vault allowed them to climb onto the city head.

  Yun Zhiya's arm was about to fall when suddenly a brilliant light burst into the sky from afar!

  "Huh?" Yun Zhongye turned his head and looked back, his face slightly changed, "General Xiao Yang's military order!"

  "What is General Xiao's military order?" Ma Lian'er asked.

  The complex military command system of Luoyun Sect is the most important secret, only known by the commander.

  "Halt the attack, stand by!" Yun Zhiya's face was strange, and he slowly lowered his arm.

  Everyone was puzzled and loosened their grip on their spears.

  Suddenly, the distant land shook violently, and dozens of knights came galloping like wind and lightning, arriving in front of the Falcon Squad in an instant.

  Xiao Yang's black horse was steaming with heat, and it had even broken out in a fine sweat, showing just how fast they were galloping. Even the black horse had reached its limit.

  And so were the forty-nine knights behind him.

  Everyone was greatly astonished by the knight's love for his warhorse, which even surpassed his own life. What on earth had happened to make General Xiao Yang so willing to exhaust his horse?

  "Lord Xiao!" The members of the Hawk Squad bowed in unison.

  Xiao Yang took a look at Linjin City in the distance and let out a heavy sigh, repeatedly saying: "It's okay! It's okay!"

  Looking back at Yun Zhiya, Xiao Yang angrily said: "Old Cloud, you damn it! I almost got killed by you, do you know that?"

  "Ah?" Yun Zhiya was shocked.

  "Anima! Who told you to attack Linjin City?" Xiao Yang roared.

  "……it's clearly an adult's military order." Yun Zhiya said in confusion.

  "What about my military order?" Xiang Yang snorted in anger and rode his horse towards Linjin City.

  On the city wall, Tuoba Hong sighed: "The Luoyun Sect really looks down on me, and now they've sent another 50 heavy armored cavalrymen! Is a small town like Linjin City worth such a big fuss?"

  Below the city gate, a tall knight rode forward on horseback and stopped outside the range of the bed crossbow, saying in a deep voice: "Are you Lord Tuoba Hong and Miss Tuoba Xue on the city wall?"

  Tuoba Hong let out a cold laugh: "I am Tuoba Hong. A man about to die should not be addressed with the honorific 'dà ren'."

  Tuoba Xue looked at the knight coldly: "I am Tuoba Xue."

  "That knight shouted loudly: 'Taotao old master, Luoyun Sect is willing to give you another chance to surrender, please consider it, Taotao old master!'"

  "Surrender?" Tuoba Hong was shocked, "It's already come to this? You still want us to surrender?"

  Tuoba Xue also had a suspicious look on his face. The current Linjin City could be taken down with just one charge from the Falcon Team. Why did the Luoyun Sect suddenly allow their side to surrender?

  The members of the Falcon Team looked at each other, all with a strange expression on their faces. However, no one said anything, as the Dark Armor Heavy Cavalry only needed to follow orders.

  Behind the hunting eagle squad, the light cavalry of Wulin City suddenly made a loud noise.

  "Surrender! To be beaten to this extent and still allow them to surrender! What the... has all the blood of my brothers been shed for nothing?!"

  "Before the war, we didn't surrender, we had to take it down and let them surrender. Since when did Luoyun Sect have such a rule?"

  "It's too much for the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry to bully people like this! Are our brothers' lives not lives, can they be treated like this?"

  Xiao Yang's face sank, and with a wave of his large hand, dozens of heavily armored cavalrymen with icy gazes slowly pressed forward towards the light cavalry of Wulin City, their war spears also rising slowly.

  Under the threat of reality, the light cavalrymen of Wulin City also shut their mouths. Dying on the battlefield is nothing, that's what they signed up for, but dying under the heavy cavalry's war spears would be too unjust!

  Xiao Yang looked at the city wall and continued: "Tuoba old man, you didn't hear wrong. Our Luoyun Sect is willing to give Tuoba family another chance, another opportunity to surrender. I hope the old man will consider the family and the people of Linjin City."

  Tuoba Xuelang smiled coldly and pointed to the corpses scattered outside the city, saying: "The elite sons of the Tuoba family are all there. Even if we survive, what's the use?"

  Tuoba Hong remained silent, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

  Xiao Yang coldly glanced at Tuoba Xue, and couldn't bear to look at this woman who didn't know her place. However, thinking of the order he received, Xiao Yang let out a helpless sigh in his heart, then put on a smiling face again, continuing to persuade: "Old master, after all, the descendants of the Tuoba family haven't died out yet, and their women and children are still alive. After decades of recuperation, they will still be the first family of Linjin City. Moreover, if old master agrees to surrender to my Luoyun Sect, my Luoyun Sect will still appoint old master as the city lord of Linjin City, generation after generation guarding this Dachuan River for me!"

  "What did you say?!" Tuoba Hong's body shook and he hastily asked.

  "I was ordered to convey the order of my family's master, as long as the Tuoba family surrenders to the Luoyun sect, from then on we will be one family, and the Tuoba family will still be the master of Linjin City!" Xiang Yang loudly repeated.

  Xiao Yang's words echoed on the walls of Linjin City, and when his voice was heard, all around fell silent!

  After a long time, Yun Zhiya heavily lifted up his mask and cursed loudly: "Xiao Yang, I fuck your grandfather! What kind of crappy order is this?"
