ATSWM Chapter 96.1

Chapter 96.1 Battle Without Suspense

Yun Xuzhou stood above the wall with a straight back and her cloak fluttered in the cold wind.

Sang Yuanyuan stood by her side, and her breathing unconsciously became a little quicker.

She has become accustomed to standing behind such a big backer like You Wuming who made her have a full sense of security. Now that he was away, she only felt that the side and rear were empty and cold wind kept pouring in.

The body of a cultivator in the Shining Spirit Base no longer afraid of the cold and heat, but she still felt a slight chill.

Someone once said that if there is no fear in the heart, that is not true bravery. The true bravery is to clearly feel the fear, tremble all over and have soft hands and feet, but still force themself to straighten their spine and throw their fist.

She turned her eyes and looked at Yun Xuzhou.

She saw that the corner of this female ruler’s lips were slightly stretched, her cheeks were covered with tiny goosebumps, her fingertips trembled slightly, but her eyes did not sway even for a moment.

“I am going to accompany you here.” Sang Yuanyuan even felt that her voice was a little stiff.

When such an army came in, her flowers could not stop them at all. They would only fall into mud under the crush of iron hooves. If You Wuming doesn’t have another way to escape and doesn’t come to save them, she can only fight together with Yun Xuzhou here to the end——Or run away now. It’s still not too late.

Sang Yuanyuan: “…” Can she apply for withdrawal for the sentence she just said?

The blood-red army approached quickly.

An energetic voice crossed the ice field and echoed from the top to the bottom of the wall——

“Regent Ruler Yun Xuzhou, we have come by the order of the Emperor to punish you, the traitor!”

“The North Battalion Guards are here. Just surrender yourself obediently!”

The iron hooves rumbled, and the tip of the crossbow in the hands of the soldiers on the wall trembled gently.

In front of their eyes, this team of blood-red army is about to enter the firing range!

The formation began to change. The vanguard of fifty horses formed a parallel formation, carried the giant spiritual iron shield and took the lead to rush towards the gate.

The archers in the back row quickly settled down. Powerful and unparalleled feather arrows screamed sharply one after another, like a locust, and smashed into the wall!

The opponent’s crossbow and shooter are better than Yun state’s by more than one grade.

The Yun state’s crossbowmen on the wall were about to try to shoot the first row of the North Battalion Guards’ vanguard at this moment.

But the flying crossbow in the back row of the opponent had already flown up to the wall like locusts. In an instant, hundreds of soldiers between the battlements were shot to death.

The charging speed of the shield-bearing vanguard was not much slower than the flying arrows. The first wave of arrow rain fell on the wall, and before they had time to replace the dead soldiers, there was a loud banging sound under the damaged gate——It was the giant spiritual iron shield that carried charging power slamming into the simply-sealed temporary gate.

The gate collapsed, the shield rider rushed under the gate and collided with the shield array that was set up under the gate of Yun state.

For a while, the situation was in a disastrous mess and was out of control.

Sang Yuanyuan and Yun Xuzhou were on the wall and could not see the scene under the gate, but by listening to the sound, they could imagine countless scenes of giant shields twisting and making damage.

There were shouts to kill all around.

After the collision, the North Battalion Guards’ experts who rode on the beast jumped up one after another, entering the Yun state’s shield array and starting to kill.

“Very strong.” Yun Xuzhou clenched her fist secretly.

“How long can we hold it?” Sang Yuanyuan asked.

Yun Xuzhou took a long breath: “At most half a shichen, and we will definitely lose the gate after that! It shouldn’t have been so fast!”

She was able to guard against Old Emperor Yun’s men from attacking her, but she didn’t expect that these people even ignored their own family and homeland, and blew up the gate.

As long as Tiandu’s North Battalion Guards rushes into the gate, Yun state will lose their defensive advantage!

There are only twenty or thirty thousand garrisons stationed in the Royal City, and they are not the most elite soldiers——Except Tiandu, no one will leave the most elite troops in their Royal City to live out their life in retirement. Fine sword is used to kill the enemy.
