Chapter 1253- Dong Cheng kidnapped

I didn’t know when Dong Cheng Yue would arrive in Capital Spirit City and I was worried that Lu Xiong and Dong Ming would kill me so I placed the god divinity in the closet and she could take it herself. I told the guard that once a girl called Dong Cheng Yue came then they will bring her to my room and not stop her.

……

At dusk, the setting sun shone from the west and the last bits of light shone on the walls. Capital Spirit City being able to survive for so long in such a world ruled by God Kings was just too difficult.

I stood there with Butterfly and behind me were the Royal Army troops. Further behind were two cannons that were far weaker than Tian Ling City’s Dragon Crystal Cannons much less the God Dragon Cannons. Maybe the people here cared too much about god divinities and they ignored technologies.

The prince looked at me and said, “Commander, do you think Dong Ming will really rebel? He doesn’t have many troops.”

I smiled, “But he is confident in his own strength and that is enough. As long as he kills me, you and your majesty, the city is his. I would do the same. Tell the soldiers to get prepared. They might be here soon.”

“En!”

This young prince listened to me and he even started to rely on me.

……

“Pa pa pa…”

Flaps could be heard from above and a Flame Hawk Cavalry landed on the walls and cupped his fists, “Your Highness, commander, Lu Xiong led 8000 Royal Army troops to open the east gate and the 20 thosuand Red Sand Army troops have entered the city. They brought many siege weapons and are heading toward the imperial city. In just an hour they will arrive, what should we do?”

The prince’s face was ashen white, “He really is going to attack? Did you see Dong Ming?”

“I didn't.”

“Back down then, continue to scout.”

“Yes!”

The prince looked at me, “As you predicted.”

I smiled, “No need to worry. They won’t be able to get in. We have the walls to defend. If Dong Ming and Lu Xiong come, I will block them. Order the cannons and archers to cover me.”

“Okay!”

I didn’t dare to say anything else but with NPCs helping me, I was confident in fighting two God Kings. I could rely on Seven Star Teleportation and Blade Rush to focus on one and then kill another. Moreover, with the Royal Army and archers helping me, things would be more efficient.

……

I summoned Mei Er and the beautiful female dragon roared and appeared on the walls. I rode on her back and waited for the two god kings to fight back. The walls were filled with archers and soldiers with shields. They were serious and they knew that they were facing the terrifying god kings. But for the emperor, they had to fight. They also knew that the general beside them killed Xue Sha and was even stronger than God Kings which gave them courage to fight.

Courage was enough.

Starlight shone on the walls and in the night, horse hoof sounds could be heard. The imperial city was at the core of the city and the walls were tougher. The kingdom’s path was covered in torches and Lu Xiong’s 30 thousand men were there. There were 50 thousand troops here so I wasn’t worried. We had enough weapons and grain. If not for the two God Kings attacking us, I would have ordered them to charge out.

The rebels set up camp at the walls and were preparing to load the siege weapons and trebuchets. They lit up cloth, oil and rocks that made the night sky even brighter. Lu Xiong held his sword and his eyes were filled with killing intent, “Get ready quick, we don’t have much time!”

The prince jumped up and raged, “Lu Xiong, my father has always treated you well but you are rebelling, what is the meaning of this?”

Lu Xiong smiled coldly, “Treated me well? Don’t forget that someone just killed my brother Xue Sha and took his god divinity. If I don’t take revenge, how can I live? If you know what you are doing, you should hand out Li Xiao Yao and I will stop. Moreover, Dong Ming brother’s other 50 thousand will stop attacking!”

I smiled. If they hand me out then who will the prince and the king rely on? They would just be easy pickings for them right?

The prince wasn’t a fool and he laughed, “Lu Xiong, Li Xiao Yao killed Xue Sha in a battle and became the commander. You want me to hand him over to you? You are just a thief, abusing your god king position and bullying us, insulting my sister. You and I can’t survive in the same world, either you die or I die today. If you have balls then attack, I am not afraid of you!”

……

The negotiation had failed so the siege began. A trebuchet tossed stones up at the walls but our reply was even stronger. Cannons returned fire and archers started to shoot at the rebels. People cried out. Although the troops were loyal to the god king but they didn’t have god king strength and arrows would injure them. In a blink of an eye, there were a hundred corpses and on the contrary, we didn’t suffer as many losses.

The prince knew that this battle was really important for the empire and it decided who the city would go to for the next hundred years. It would also decide his and his father’s lives. He was going all out. He commanded the troops on the walls, this young prince really was a good general.

In a blink of an eye, more and more rebel troops died and many of them didn’t dare to siege. Lu Xiong was really anxious and he roared. Frost gathered on his sword. This was a god king good at ice attacks. He charged at the walls, did he want to stab and turn the soldiers into icicles?

Naturally, I wouldn’t let that happen. I flew over and spread my left hand to gather star energy. I formed a bright shield which caused his icicle blades to be blocked!

“Peng!”

God power surged and my left hand felt a heavy blow and it was a little numb. That was due to the ice. This Lu Xiong wasn’t simple. Luckily he was forced back by the shield and the place where we clashed formed an ice storm that swept around. The NPC soldiers on the walls and below were all shocked by it.

……

Lu Xiong landed back on the ground and I landed on the walls. Luckily I had Star Shield if not I wouldn’t be able to block the skills from the God Kings. My performance was too important for the morale of the troops, if I lost, their fighting spirit would waver too.

After returning to the walls, I attacked. I spread my hand and used Dragon Totem. My leggings shone and a god dragon struck down to kill hundreds of soldiers that were near to the two trebuchets. These NPC grades were too low and their health was at most 700 thousand. Thundering Heavens and Trampling Thunder could all insta kill them.

Lu Xiong didn’t attack after landing as he was fearful of my strength.

Keke, in front of life and death even God Kings would be afraid. Lu Xiong was probably afraid of being like Xue Sha and having his god divinity taken and he himself killed right?

The siege lasted for an hour and in the end, most of the 30 thousand he brought were all killed. Only a small half of them fled from the paths. No one was willing to fight for the god king as they were just dying for no reason.

……

A while later, the east started to light up, the sky was about to turn.

I was anxious, why wasn’t Dong Cheng Yue here, did she fall into Dong Ming’s hands? Impossible, after all, she was quite smart.

“Commander, do you want to rest?” The prince held a bowl of fruits. To have such treatment here was quite good.

Naturally, I wasn’t in the mood and looked into the distance, “when are the reinforcements coming?”

The prince said, “Fire Rock City’s 70 thousand will arrive at noon. The general is Marquis Li Zhi so don’t worry, we won’t lose the city.”

“En, I understand.”

The experience from killing monsters and NPCs here was too low so I didn’t continue. I just waited for Dong Cheng Yue.

Close to noon, a messenger dashed over and said loudly, “General, someone called Dong Cheng Yue appeared near the south gate and we have captured her. We suspect that she is a spy sent by Dong Ming but she says that she wants to find you, do we need to bring her over?”

I was shocked, “Bring her over quickly!”

Search Hosted for the original.

“Yes!”

A few minutes later, she appeared in front of me. She was tied up along with her Aisha Staff.

I tried not to laugh and said, “Dong Cheng, what happened to you?”

Dong Cheng Yue was furious, “They trapped me without saying anything!”

I suppressed my laughter, “Okay okay let’s go, back to my room. The divinity is there.”

“Okay.”

When she thought about the god divinity, her anger was reduced by half.
