The Hidden Phoenix World
16
No matter how dazzling and bright the sunlight was, it was unable to repel the heavy and deadly atmosphere. The wind passed through the two soldiers nonstop, yet no matter how fast it was, it also could not blow away the premonition of the battle.
Hua Zhu Yu was watching from the tower. Beneath him, he saw a thick and numerous steel helmet and thousands of cold shining weapons.
In front of the Northern Kingdom army, Xiao Yin sat on his horse.Dachang - his golden dragon embroidered on it fluttered in the wind. The flag flew high above his head. The flag had a powerful mascot of the Northern Kingdom sewn on it - a gyrfalcon. Across Xiao Yin, the Southern Kingdom flag was carried away by the wind as well. Large character "Hua" embroidered with black thread. Under the flag was the Marquis of Ping Xi, Hua Mu - Hua Zhu Yu's father .
It is not known when the sound of the horn stopped. Tens of thousands of soldiers faced each other on the battlefield. The area was filled with silence. It seems that the battle is about to begin.
Yet the reason for the battle was actually himself - Hua Zhu Yu.
It is said that women do bring problems. In the last dynasty, two kings fought to win over a woman. However to him, even though he was the reason for this battle, it was not for the sake of winning it.
The Southern Kingdom had abandoned him while the Northern Kingdom had not cared about him at all.
This battle actually had nothing to do with him, it was for the purpose of satisfying the greed for the power of the higher-ups. Yet he had been used as an excuse for battle and had allowed him to become - in the eyes of the commoners - an immortal sinner.
At this moment, he wanted to rush into the battle to stop her, however, he knew very clearly that even if he said she was the princess and that she was not dead yet, she knew, this battle is still unavoidable. The Northern Kingdom had captured the Southern Kingdom Royal City and had killed many warriors from the Southern Kingdom. The battle was like an arrow hovering on a bowstring - it had to be shot.
His clear gaze swept over the generals of the Northern Kingdom and then landed on his father. Initially, his father led his army northward for the purpose of attacking the borders of the Northern Kingdom. He could never imagine that the Southern Kingdom had lost Mo City in a defensive battle before.
The distance was quite far away and he could not see his father's expression clearly, yet his figure had an air full of sorrow.Today, he did not know how his father lived his life.Although he was loyal to the Southern Kingdom, but it is not complete and blind loyalty. The emperor's order had made him very sad in his heart. Although he still seemed loyal to the Southern Kingdom, his heart most likely no longer felt his true passion for the country. This time, his father's fury would most likely be out of the Northern Kingdom. He must have thought that his army had been killed by the people from the Northern Kingdom. Even if it was not the deeds of the people of the Northern Kingdom, they did not protect his well which was a crime itself as well.
As expected, someone from the Southern Kingdom army had shouted, 'Let's get revenge for being left behind!' Immediately, the rest also began to shout - shouting louder than the sound of horns. The shout, of course, came from the soldiers of the Hua family. Hua Zhu Yu closed her eyes, her eyelashes twitching. He opened his eyes again. His eyes glowed with a hint of sharpness.
Emperor, your plan has indeed succeeded.
His death not only infuriated his father, but more than that, the anger of the Hua family army.
“Xiao Yin, my daughter has met an unfortunate event in the Northern Kingdom. This time, benhou will ask His Highness, the crown prince, to give me advice . ”Hua Mu coldly said.
(NB: indirect way of saying that he wants to fight with the crown prince)
“ Houye , let the subordinates do it. I will take revenge for the loss, as well as the young man Ying . ”A horse attacked the Southern Kingdom army. The person riding the horse was wearing black armor and his hand was holding a long sword. He was young and had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was very handsome, hoping that his face had an expression of anger that seemed like it would not fade even after a long time.
(NB: He is referring to Ying Shu Xie, Silver Face Ashura, who was introduced in chapter 12).
The surroundings swept horizontally over Xiao Yin.
That's Kang the Third!
Hua Zhu Yu narrowed slightly. His sharp gaze looked at the soldiers from the Hua family warriors. Seeing all the familiar figures, he realized that they had all come.How should he tell them that he was still alive and in the enemy camp? This time, he had to leave the Northern Kingdom and Xiao Yin.
Zhang Xi's horse dashed forward and Zhang Xi blocked Kang's Third sword for Xiao Yin, coldly saying: “You are no match for being his high opponent. I, Zhang Xi, will fight with you. "
Kang the Third was always grumpy, and so, when he heard that his opponent was Zhang Xi, he immediately attacked. His incisions were cruel and vicious.
In a moment, the armies of both armies began to attack and the sound of war spread into the air.
Bloods. Shadow knife. Weapon luster. Roars. Horn sound.
This is war.
That's cruel, tragic. It makes people feel miserable and in pain.
However, at this moment, in the presence of Hua Zhu Yu, appeared a person.She stood on a high slope next to the two soldiers.His arrival was like a touch of spring and light in a dark and heavy image; like the breeze and coolness on a hot, stuffy summer day.
He was a prince - a white-robed young prince.
Because she was so far away, Hua Zhu Yu could not see her appearance. The only reason he noticed it was because of his clothes.
No matter if it was the army of the Northern Kingdom or the army of the Southern Kingdom, on the battlefield, they were all wearing armor. However, that person was wearing a white robe. With the wind blowing through it, the robe looked like a pure white cloud floating in the sky.
Sunlight enveloped his body with a bright light, making it seem mystical, like a dream and like fog.The entire personality was in stark contrast to the battlefield, yet it seemed like he was born to stand there looking at all those disturbing situations.
"That guy is the Southern Kingdom's jianjun?" A soldier in the tower asked.
(NB: jianjun - the title given to a military officer who has the special task of supervising the officials/military generals outside the capital )
"You're right. He is a jianjun of the Southern Kingdom. ”Another soldier replied.
A jianjun?
Hua Zhu Yu frowned. Sure enough, the emperor no longer trusted his father and sent jianjun .
However, this jianjun, who is he?
