Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 608: The Royalty And High-Ranking Officials Are Easier To Kill!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Deep down, Zhou Wu just wanted to kill everyone in the Ten Sinners Camp. Once an impressive and highly respected general, Zhou Wu had slowly become corrupted by power and money.

Despite not having led a fight personally for a long time, Zhou Wu knew he did not have a choice but to go fight head on.

The dragon horse he was riding on was huge, and emitted strong Qi.

When the dragon horse neighed, its nostrils had a red flare around it.

Strong blood Qi suggested that the dragon horse was of the best of its kind!

Normal cultivators would never be able to control it!

“What?!”

“The old emperor did consider the option, but I heard that someone objected, refused to let them off, and even implicated their clans!”

“There were even times when people tried to tap into our Hundred Wars Camp’s resources, so why wouldn’t they do that to Ten Sinners Camp?”

Hundred Wars Camp soldiers gossiped after hearing what the old man from Ten Sinners Camp said.

“My Lord, must we continue fighting?” Jin Wu Xue’s aide asked cautiously. After all, Hundred Wars Camp had already suffered too many casualties. While their soldiers outnumbered the Ten Sinners Camp, their enemies were too determined to win, so it was hard to tell who would emerge victorious!

If they were to fight again, the Hundred Wars Camp would become merely a legend even if they managed to defeat the Ten Sinners Camp.

“His Majesty’s orders. I must follow.”

Jin Wu Xue’s face carried a complicated expression, unsure of the credibility of those people’s words as it made no sense that the Ten Sinners Camp’s people would lie at the current stage. However, he had to stand on Yong Xuan’s side.

“His Majesty’s orders! Hundred Wars Camp, get ready to kill the traitors!”

Zhou Wu stepped into the Hundred Wars Camp with his dragon horse, taking over Jin Wu Xue’s authority.

Jin Wu Xue was puzzled, but didn’t say anything, and just followed Zhou Wu’s orders.

“KILL!”

The two troops clashed once more. One party was high in morale, while the other was just quiet.

After an hour, the two troops separated, and stood opposite each other.

Ten Sinners Camp was left with only 1,000 people, each of them injured in some way.

Hundred Wars Camp, on the other hand, had only 10,000 soldiers left.

“Bear with it, the reserve army will be here very soon. They will help to eliminate the traitors. I will make sure His Majesty rewards every one of you after the battle!”

Zhou Wu pretended to be calm, though he was shocked by how strong the Ten Sinners Camp was.

He naturally did not appear at the front line. Instead, he stood at the back of Hundred Wars Camp, and even had a thousand soldiers ensure his safety.

Jin Wu Xue and the gang were not concerned about rewards, as what they really cared about was their dead brothers stranded across the battlefield.

“Get into formation, use the three mountain peaks formation. As long as we buy some time, the reserve army will be here.” Zhou Wu passed down an order.

Being the capital city, the reserve army would be outside the city. Although today was a setup, nobody had thought it’d be possible for the rebels to last so long in the presence of the Hundred Wars Camp and the Yu Ling Guards.

Yet, the Ten Sinners Camp had proved them wrong by surviving still even when greatly outnumbered by their opponent.

“General Zhou, this is taking my brothers’ lives too lightly.” Jin Wu Xue rejected immediately after hearing Zhou Wu’s order.

The Ten Sinners Camp soldiers no longer cared about losing their lives, so it would be difficult to kill them.

Furthermore, the three mountain peaks formation was a defense formation; if broken, the whole Hundred Wars Camp would die!

If it was an order against other troops, Jin Wu Xue would carry out the order without hesitation!

But the troop facing him was different. A normal troop would usually admit defeat after losing half of their soldiers, but Ten Sinners Camp refused to stand down no matter how bad their situation was.

At their current stage, even the Hundred Wars Camp soldiers felt like stopping. The difference between the Hundred Wars Camp soldiers and the Ten Sinners Camp soldiers was that the Hundred Wars Camp soldiers were elites picked out from hundreds of thousands, and many already had established families of their own.

Once the order to defend was executed, there was a chance Ten Sinners Camp would break through their lines!

“Heng! His Majesty already gave me authority to oversee everything here, so do as I say. Unless Jin General plans to go against orders?!”

Zhou Wu was already in a bad mood to begin with, so when Jin Wu Xue refused to follow his order, Zhou Wu could not help but lash out on Jin Wu Xue.

“Sir, this old man is taking our lives as a joke. He had a part to play last time someone tried to take advantage of us Hundred Wars Camp.”

Jin Wu Xue’s vice general started to look awkward, while the rest of the Hundred Wars Camp stared at Zhou Wu angrily.

“What? Can’t you hear my orders?! Or are you trying to rebel!?”

Though the Hundred Wars Camp soldiers were strong, they were still nobody but followers to Zhou Wu.

“Rebellion it is, then! What a laughingstock!”

A deep voice sounded in the camp, causing the Hundred Wars Camp to quieten down instantly.

“General Jin is indeed good at managing others. I will report it to His Majesty word for word!”

Zhou Wu laughed coldly as he was unhappy with the bunch long ago. To him, they were nothing but a bunch of followers acting against him, trying to embezzle some military resources.

Hundred Wars Camp was rich, and everyone could gain some benefit using their own skills, so why should he vomit out his share for them?!

One young man with red eyes, around the age of 18, stood out, and said, “I said that!”

“Liu Jie, you rascal, you don’t want to live anymore?!”

“Why does he dare to say that...”

Everyone in Hundred Wars Camp gasped.

“Traitor, I shall make you pay for taking my sister’s life! General, you must help me seek justice. I received my sister’s letter, saying that she was forced to die by Zhou Wu!”

Liu Jie’s had planned to seek revenge from Zhou Wu when he got to the capital, but who knew Hundred Wars Camp would have to go to war immediately. Since the battle with Ten Sinners Camp meant he might die, he was unsure whether he would still be alive to seek revenge after the battle. Hence, he could not wait any longer.

The dragon horse Liu Jie was riding had already lost one limb, and even had a slash wound across its chest.

Listening to Liu Jie’s words, Jin Wu Xue was dumbfounded, while everyone else in the Hundred Wars Camp became furious.

Wasn’t providing their families with a good life their reason for fighting at the front lines? Yet now, there was someone who dared to touch their brother’s family.

It was Liu Jie today, but who else might be affected the next day? Could it be their own family?

Groups of Hundred Wars Camp discussed fervently, all wishing that such a thing would never happen to their families.

If they did not speak up for Liu Jie now, then who would stand up for them in the future?

“What a joke, your sister? Who is your sister? I have played around with so many women before that I can’t even remember who is who. You are nobody, yet you want to seek revenge for your sister?” Zhou Wu asked mockingly. A little rascal would dare to seek revenge on him? How naive!

Jin Wu Xue stared at Zhou Wu coldly as he said, “General Zhou, mind your words!”

Then he turned to look at Liu Jie. “Don’t worry, I will seek justice for you after today!”

“General Jin is indeed suave. So? You really want to pit yourself against me for a useless rascal?” Zhou Wu said, unfazed.

“My Lord.”

Jin Wu Xue’s vice general looked like he had words he could not say when he saw Jin Wu Xue flustered by Zhou Wu’s words.

“What’s the matter?”

Jin Wu Xue stared deep into Zhou Wu’s eyes before shifting his attention elsewhere, fearing that he would want to kill the old scumbag if he continued looking at him!

Those words Zhou Wu said could harm the Hundred Wars Camp soldiers’ morale!

Jin Wu Xue had made up his mind that once the battle was over, he would get rid of the old scumbag, although he was not sure if it would be right or wrong for him to do that.

The cold stare gave Zhou Wu shudders down his spine, and thus he decided that Jin Wu Xue had to die that very night. It would be best if the Ten Sinners Camp did the act.

“Sir, I am not sure if I should say this.” The vice general looked undecided.

“Speak!” Jin Wu Xue demanded.

“Your loyal subject feels that these royalty and high-ranking officials are easier to kill than Ten Sinners Camp...”

Having to hold back his words the whole day, the vice general looked relieved after speaking out.

“Boom!”

Though the vice general’s voice was not loud, it was enough for the people around him to hear his words. As his words came out, the brilliant thought became rooted in the others’ minds!

Right! Ten Sinners Camp was like a hard bone.

And these royals and officials were like soft meat!

“It seems to make sense?”

“No problems!”

“I have long detested these guys who are so corrupted. Now is a chance given from heavens, so we should seize the opportunity!”

A group of Hundred Wars Camp soldiers’ eyes lit up as their ambitions were revealed through their eyes.

The royals and officials in the hall, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on in Hundred Wars Camp.

“What a waste of a troop.”

Some officials sighed with regret. If only the Hundred Wars Camp and Ten Sinners Camp could work together to help Baiyue expand their kingdom!

Oh? It should not be considered a waste of a troop!

It should be a waste of two troops! A few officials glanced at each other as they realized that the battle would result in the elimination of both Hundred Wars Camp and Ten Sinners Camp. Was it the end of Baiyue?!

“What are we waiting for?! Pass down my orders, eliminate the rebels!”

Seeing that the troops had ceased fighting for more than five minutes, Yong Xuan’s blood boiled.

“You dare to disobey orders?! I will inform His Majesty to eliminate your entire clan!” Zhou Wu exploded after hearing Hundred Wars Camp’s discussions.

That was it—Jin Wu Xue’s plans for holding Hundred Wars Camp back became useless.

“Pass my order! Yong Xuan, the fatuous ruler, and the corrupt government officials have upset the civilians. Today, we shall rebel against them and serve Baiyue justice!”

The situation having changed, Jin Wu Xue had no choice but to go with the flow now. If they did not rebel now, they might have to suffer greater losses. Hence, he stopped feeling torn between two options, and announced his decision loudly!
