Chapter 2035: An Army? I Have One Too
By the time Zu An thought through things, he had already unknowingly arrived at a city. He could tell that this city had also been abandoned by the Fiend races’ army in the past. After that, it was once more turned into an encampment by the Little Golden Peng King. Even looking at it from a distance, Zu An could tell that the arrangement and division of troops were clear, and the defenses were also solid. He nodded to himself and thought, As expected of the Little Golden Peng King, one of the four great generals.
The troops below also noticed their approach. All kinds of city siege crossbows and rune cannons were aimed at their party in the air.
Wang Gu said, “Regent, princess, I’ll head down to contact them first.”
Zu An nodded, and Wang Gu quickly flew down.
Suolun Shi said, “Big brother Zu, we can invite the Little Golden Peng King to help us rescue the Second Empress. Our chances of success will be greater then.”
Zu An gave the city below a look, saying, “They may not be willing to do that.”
Suolun Shi was stunned, asking, “What do you mean?”
She suddenly thought back to when Zu An had mentioned how strange it was for the Little Golden Peng King to suggest dividing the troops.
Could it be that…
Suddenly, Zu An’s eyes narrowed. He exclaimed, “Be careful!”
As soon as he spoke, he grabbed her by the waist and dodged off to the side. At almost the same time, dozens of thick city siege crossbow arrows flickering with runes fired at the location they had been in. This kind of arrow could directly blast through city walls, let alone human flesh.
Suolun Shi’s face turned deathly pale. She exclaimed, “Has the Little Golden Peng King gone mad?”
“He hasn’t. It’s just that he’s decided to drop his act,” Zu An said with a sneer. He looked at the young man in golden armor standing on the platform in the center of the city.
“As expected of the regent. Not even this kind of vicious ambush could injure you in the slightest,” the Little Golden Peng King said with a smile. His voice wasn’t loud, yet it was clearly audible even amid the snowstorm. His cultivation was clearly quite high.
“Why?” Suolun Shi suddenly shouted angrily, “You have a venerable status, and your clan has enjoyed honor and wealth for generations. Why have you betrayed the Second Empress and brought harm to countless Fiend race citizens?”
When she first listened to Zu An’s analysis, even though she had held some doubts, she and the Little Golden Peng King had grown up together and had similar levels of status. That was why they had easily become friends. She hadn’t believed that the Little Golden Peng King would do something like this.
“Why?” the Little Golden Peng King repeated, his expression turning cold. “My father remained faithful and true to the Fiend races, and yet, what did he get in return in the end? All because they were a bit scared of him, he was killed for no reason by the Fiend Emperor, and worst of all, we weren’t even allowed to get angry and we had to pretend to be deeply grateful to the ruler!” He looked a bit agitated as he yelled, “We are the glorious Golden Peng Race, not mere dogs!”
“The late Fiend Emperor was indeed wrong in this matter, but he is already dead. Even if you have any grudges, they should be in the past. Was it just because of this that you betrayed the Second Empress and the other clans? Those monsters are from other worlds. If they really end up invading, do you think you’ll be able to survive?” Suolun Shi asked, finding that a bit hard to understand.
“What do you understand?” The Little Golden Peng King sneered. “They’re called monsters, and we’re called fiends. Don’t you feel that our names share a bit of resemblance?”
Suolun Shi was momentarily stunned, asking, “What do you mean?”
The Little Golden Peng King stood with his hands behind him. As he looked into the sky, his eyes were full of yearning as he said, “I only learned of this recently. We fiends and the monsters from a different world actually share the same ancestor. The same blood flows through us.”
Zu An and Suolun Shi were both speechless.
“You’ve gone mad. How could we be the same species as those disgusting creatures?” Suolun Shi exclaimed. Those monsters dripping with mucus were still fresh in her memory. They were as disgusting as disgusting could be. If she was the same as them, then she really would rather be dead.
“We are naturally different from those low-level monsters; we have a high-level bloodline. Regent, you’ve probably seen the high level monsters, right? They are all incredibly powerful beings!” the Little Golden Peng King said excitedly.
Zu An said indifferently, “I have seen them before, but they are all strange and grotesquely-shaped creatures. They aren’t as pleasing to look at as the fiends on this side.”
“We also have our original forms. If we remained in those forms, the humans naturally wouldn’t like us.” The Little Golden Peng King didn’t pay him any more attention, and instead reached out to Suolun Shi, saying, “Little sister Suolun, we should be together. Join us; our future lies in the stars above. How insignificant is a small world like this?”
However, no one expected Suolun Shi to sigh and take out her mace, saying, “My subordinates were killed because of you. I haven’t even gotten vengeance for them yet, so how can I join up with you?”
“Pigheaded. Kill them!” the Little Golden Peng King snapped, losing his patience when he saw her resolute expression. With a wave of his hand, countless skills shone from the army in the city and fired at the two of them.
Zu An grabbed Suolun Shi. In order to evade the continuous streaks of light, he moved as fast as lightning. However, there was an entire army beneath them, so the attacks were innumerable. All kinds of attacks came in from all different directions. The usual strategies, such as evasion, baiting, and exploiting weaknesses, were completely useless. That was also one of the reasons why it was so difficult for an individual cultivator to face a proper army.
When he saw that even though Zu An was fast, he still couldn’t deal with the army’s attacks that covered the entire sky and had to take some with his own body several times, the Little Golden Peng King smiled. He said, “Regent, even though your cultivation is high, in front of an entire army, your strength is still too insignificant.”
All of his troops were elites, and he was one of the Fiend races’ four great generals, so his commanding ability allowed the army to display even more of their power. There was no way he would give Zu An any chances. He thus planned to wear down Zu An just like that. After all, no matter how powerful the enemy’ss attacks were, if they were split among ten thousand people, they would still be survivable. These soldiers were weak individually, but through sheer force of numbers, they were still capable of threatening strong cultivators.
Suolun Shi did her best to block the attacks below to share in Zu An’s burden. She said, “Big brother Zu, you don’t need to care about me. Use this chance to get away! There is no way his army can move out immediately. You will be able to find a chance to kill your way back.”
“I don’t have the habit of abandoning my comrades,” Zu An said calmly.
“Even so, in front of a fully prepared army, the power of a single person is limited!” Suolun Shi exclaimed, panicking. As a member of the Demon race’s upper echelons, she knew the advantage an army had against a single cultivator fully well.
“An army? I have one too,” Zu An said with a chuckle.
Suolun Shi was stunned. Then, she sensed water-like ripples appear in the air. After that, a large group of strange metal birds appeared from those ripples. Some of them were flat and sleek, entirely black like falcons, while others were huge in size and entirely white like swans…
“What are those?” the Little Golden Peng King wondered.
He was stunned, but he instinctively sensed the danger behind these things. He quickly ordered his subordinates to shoot at the metal birds first. And yet, the metal birds flew too high, reaching tens of thousands of meters in the air, and they flew extremely fast. It was difficult for the army’s attacks to hit such things.
Suddenly, the metal birds seemed to lay eggs. Rows of unknown things emerged from their bellies and dropped on the Little Golden Peng King’s army. As they listened to the shrill screams on the wind, the soldiers didn’t even need the Little Golden Peng King’s orders to fire at the spherical things.
Boom!
Streaks of blinding flames erupted in the sky. Terrifying blasts of air engulfed the entire ruined city. At first, the army’s defensive formation could still withstand the shockwaves, but as more and more bombs dropped, their formation could no longer withstand the damage. Cracks appeared one after another. Finally, it broke apart completely, and the entire city turned into a sea of flames and tremors. The Little Golden Peng King’s army could no longer remain organized. They screamed as they ran in all directions.
Zu An thought to himself, How could these soldiers possibly be able to withstand the power of the B-2 paired with the Tupolev Tu-160?
Suolun Shi’s jaw never closed after it initially fell. Her beautiful eyes were full of shock.
What in the world is this? How does big brother Zu still have so many different things?
When he saw that his impressive army of elites had been utterly defeated in a second, the Little Golden Peng King almost broke down. He turned into a streak of golden light and cut across the sky. Wherever he went, those strange metal birds broke down and exploded one after another.
Zu An’s expression turned cold. He vanished, then grabbed at the golden light.
