The Soul of a Soldier

"That is... the Beiliang Army!"

"Great!"

"It's the Beiliang Army!"

"The Prince of Bei Liang is here!"

The commoners on the city wall, upon seeing the words on the battle flags, were immediately moved to tears of excitement and cried out.

In front of everyone's eyes, an armored cavalry appeared in their vision.

At the very front of the army was a handsome young man in battle armor, with endless anger flashing in his eyes.

If not Li Luo, who could this young man be?!

Li Luo handed the bow in his hand to the soldier beside him.

The arrow shot just now was obviously fired by Li Luo.

"Buzz..."

Just as Lian Qing and Qi Hui's attention was completely focused on Li Luo and the hundred thousand Beiliang Army behind him, a swarm of insects suddenly appeared on that soldier's body, wrapped him up, and sent him to the top of the city wall.

Then, another figure closely followed and appeared on top of the city wall.

This figure was none other than Mountain Cannon.

Lian Qing was shocked, his eyes fixed tightly on Mountain Cannon who had just appeared on the city wall.

He couldn't help but be vigilant.

What ability was this?

The bug controlling arts of the exotic barbarians?!

The soldier was saved by Mountain Cannon. The commoners on the city wall immediately called for doctors from the city.

However, the soldier's injuries were far too grievous, that even the doctors were helpless.

"Cough... Please... Please tell me..."

The soldier looked towards Mountain Cannon, a hint of inquiry on his face.

Mountain Cannon seemed to understand what the soldier wanted to ask, and murmured:

"Don't worry, the Crown Prince is leading a hundred thousand Bei Liang iron cavalries here. Thousand Fragrance City will definitely not fall into the hands of another country!"

"The common people in the city will also be fine..."

As soon as Mountain Cannon finished speaking, Liu Heng and the commoners were shocked beyond belief.

They had thought it was the Prince of Bei Liang.

They didn't expect it to actually be the Crown Prince!

Liu Lingxi also turned her beautiful eyes towards the young figure at the front of the army.

So he is the Crown Prince...

"Thank... Thank... Thank you..."

Upon hearing that the Crown Prince himself was leading the army here, the worry on the soldier's face was swept away.

Revealing a relieved smile, he then passed away...

Even in death, this soldier was still worried about the safety of the commoners in the city.

This deeply moved Mountain Cannon, who held great admiration for the soldier.

The people on the city tower turned their gazes onto the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Li Luo's gaze was icy cold. Towards the Black Cavalry Army of the Nanyun Kingdom, a terrifying killing intent emerged.

Earlier, the Beiliang Army had split into three routes, and attacked county after county where soldiers of the Qi King were stationed.

However, after they had captured over ten cities, they received news that the Nanyun Kingdom had sent troops to invade the borders.

By now, ten cities had already fallen into the hands of the Nanyun Kingdom.

Upon receiving this news, whether it was Li Luo or the commoners of the Western Province, all were furious.

In some of the cities, soldiers who previously belonged to the Qi King voluntarily surrendered after finding out that the Qi King had died.

When surrendering, the only request these soldiers had was for Li Luo to lead them to drive back the Nanyun Kingdom and recover the lost territory.

Li Luo accepted their surrender.

However, he did not bring these soldiers with him.

Because the situation was urgent, Li Luo had them defend the cities, while he himself led the Bei Liang Iron Cavalries and rushed to Thousand Fragrance City without stopping.

"Lian Qing, the enemy general doesn't seem to be the King of Beiliang or one of the Seven Heroes of Northern Liang..."

From afar, Qi Hui looked towards Li Luo, a hint of doubt on his face.

Because the person leading these hundred thousand Bei Liang troops was far too young.

Lian Qing nodded slightly.

He too realized that the opposing general was not the King of Beiliang himself.

Otherwise, he would have retreated at the first moment.

They had only brought fifty thousand Black Cavalry Army to Thousand Fragrance City.

If they were facing the hundred thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalries led by the King of Beiliang or one of the Seven Heroes of Northern Liang,

they and their little force would have only one outcome - death.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar Li Luo, they were reassured instead.

A wet-behind-the-ears little kid leading the Bei Liang Army.

Could he truly unleash the might of the Bei Liang Iron Cavalries?

What was the King of Beiliang thinking?

Perhaps today, they the Black Cavalry Army could create a miracle!

To defeat the greater force before them and annihilate these hundred thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalries!

The two looked at each other, excitement flashing in their eyes.

Lian Qing spoke in a deep voice,

"Stranger, state your name."

Li Luo's gaze was icy cold. Riding on his warhorse, he looked at Lian Qing and Qi Hui at the front, and said in a deep voice:

"Li Luo, son of the King of Beiliang!"

"Son of the King of Beiliang!!"

"Ahahaha......"

Upon hearing Li Luo's reply, Lian Qing and Qi Hui were initially shocked.

Then, they laughed out loud.

They didn't expect that the little rascal leading the hundred thousand Bei Liang Army was actually the son of the King of Beiliang.

No wonder he was so young, yet could lead a hundred thousand Bei Liang Army.

The two were excited beyond belief. They didn't expect their opponent to be such a big fish!

As long as they could capture Li Luo, when the time came, dealing with the King of Beiliang would be a piece of cake for their general!

The two steeled their hearts and decided to capture Li Luo.

And while they were at it, annihilate the hundred thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalries before them.

"Black Cavalry Army!"

"Kill!"

With Lian Qing's low roar, a terrifying killing intent surged from the fifty thousand Black Cavalry Army behind him.

"Boom boom..."

The terrifying killing intent condensed into substantial wisps of ink-colored aura that gathered and rushed into the heavens.

In the heavens, ink clouds roiled as thunder rumbled.

An enormous ink-colored dragon flipped and turned in the dark clouds, stretching out its dragon head and gazing down at Li Luo and the hundred thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalries behind him, letting out a resonant dragon's cry.

The military soul of the Black Cavalry Army was gathered once again.

This military soul was formed from the killing intent of the fifty thousand Black Cavalry Army soldiers.

As long as their killing intent did not fade, their military soul would remain!

Surge after surge of astonishing killing intent continuously poured into the military soul.

Lian Qing and Qi Hui's mouth corners curled up.

This military soul was the basis of their confidence.

For an army to be able to gather a military soul, aside from every soldier being elite veterans, it also depended on the general leading the army.

Only when the army and the general have an extremely high level of trust and tacit understanding would it be possible to gather a military soul.

Could this wet-behind-the-ears Prince of Beiliang gather a military soul from the Bei Liang Army?

"Boom..."

With a wave of Lian Qing's hand, the military soul dragon above split into two.

Transforming into two ink dragons that rushed into the two people's bodies.

"Buzz..."

Lian Qing and Qi Hui's bodies were suddenly empowered by a frightening killing intent.

Their original peak Spirit Sea Realm cultivation temporarily rose to the early Great Evolution Realm under the reinforcement of the terrifying killing intent.

Lian Qing and Qi Hui leapt off their warhorses, and trod on air.

Powerful auras shrouded the entire battlefield.

Li Luo looked at the two people rushing to kill him, the corners of his mouth raising slightly.

Military soul?

Who doesn't have one?

"Where are my Bei Liang Iron Cavalries?!"

Li Luo's gaze suddenly condensed as he roared loudly.

"Here!"

"Boom!"

Together with the ear-splitting roar of the hundred thousand Bei Liang Iron Cavalries.

A surge of bloody, murderous aura rushed into the heavens.

This terrifying, murderous aura was even more horrifying than the killing intent of the Black Cavalry Army.

The originally roiling dark clouds in the sky were even dyed blood red by this horrifying, murderous aura.
