Chapter 237 - 11: An Unconventional Siege Method (Part 2)
Damn it!
’This player actually has the Spiritual Sentinel ability!’
’How much critical information did that idiot Duke of the Northern Territory manage to leak!? Is he going to follow these clues and expose my identity as one of the Evil God Believers!? And then report it to the other Lord Players in the Gulad Empire!?’
’Dammit!’
’And that bastard, Pride!’
’Didn’t he swear up and down that the Divine Chosen Players don’t have the strength to attack any Native Powers right now, and that I didn’t need to worry about them?’
’But look at this now!’
’That player named Tingfeng has his Divine Chosen Army pressing against the Empire’s northern border!’
’He calls *this* having no strength!?’
At that moment, a series of roars exploded in his mind, gnawing at Nesia’s sanity like venomous snakes.
Beneath his Steel Mask, Nesia’s expression had grown so dark it seemed ready to drip water, and even his breaths were heavy with suppressed fury.
He had already made up his mind.
Today, he would have to find Pride and demand an explanation.
If that guy couldn’t handle the Lord Player named "Tingfeng," then he would have to mobilize the Evil God Believers he had secretly cultivated and personally eliminate this massive threat that had already reached the foot of the Northern Territory’s Great Wall.
In any case, he could not let this person ruin his grand plan to suppress the Gulad Empire.
Otherwise, if they couldn’t deal with Flame Emperor Galukasa and his unstoppable Dragon Cavalry army, the future army of the Evil God wouldn’t have a one hundred percent guarantee of completely devouring this world...
「Meanwhile.」
Qin Feng had learned from Ashes that the Owl Spirit Body had been destroyed.
He had also learned of the Duke of the Northern Territory’s little scheme, as well as the Duke’s "good friend" in the Imperial Capital—Nesia, one of the Five Dragon Generals and the Imperial Chief of Staff.
Qin Feng’s fingertips tapped lightly on the desk, his gaze growing sharper.
"It seems,"
"the Evil God Believers hidden within the Gulad Empire,"
"have finally shown their true colors."
He slowly uttered the name, his tone carrying a cold certainty.
"Nesia."
’As one of the Five Dragon Generals, his strength must be at the peak of 1-Star (Red), and he’s also skilled in powerful, large-scale AOE Magic.’
’He even has access to Space Magic that allows him to teleport at will.’
’What a troublesome enemy...’
At this thought, a decisive glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. He raised his voice and called for Kuge, who was outside the tent.
"Kuge!"
"Relay my orders!"
"Immediately assemble all the Dragon Cavalry in the camp! They will attack the Great Wall with me!"
As he finished speaking, the wind outside the tent swept past, carrying sand and dust with it, as if howling for the bloody battle to come.
Kuge was inwardly puzzled. He wondered why His Majesty Tingfeng wasn’t ordering the other Divine Chosen Army units to join the attack, but was instead sending only his own Dragon Cavalry to assault the Great Wall, which was defended by one hundred thousand regular soldiers and guarded by hundreds of Transcendents.
But in the end, he didn’t ask any questions. He simply responded in a deep voice,
"As you command!"
Afterward, a large number of Extraordinary Dragon Knights took to the skies from the camp, beating their wings. Under Qin Feng’s personal command, they surged like a torrent of steel toward the sky above the hundred-meter-tall Great Wall.
Qin Feng personally went to the front lines, his powerful voice carrying through the air to everyone on and below the wall.
"To all the Warriors of the Northern Territory on this Great Wall, I know you are all loyal and brave men. But your Duke has secretly colluded with Evil God Believers and is plotting a conspiracy that will bring ruin to many nations..."
He quickly laid bare the Duke of the Northern Territory’s wicked ambitions, each word as sharp and clear as a blade.
"Now!"
"I give you a choice!"
"If you are willing to surrender to my side, leave the Great Wall at once and go north to be received by the Holy Empire’s army. We guarantee you will not be made into slaves or servants!"
His gaze swept over the dense ranks of soldiers on the wall, and his tone suddenly turned severe.
"If you insist on following the Duke of the Northern Territory, then ready your weapons! In today’s battle, I will show no mercy!"
At that moment, the Dragon Knights circled high above. The pressure of their draconic might and the cold glint of their armor wove together into an invisible force, pressing his offer of surrender onto the hearts of every soldier and forcing them to face a choice between loyalty and truth in an instant.
However, Qin Feng’s words were, after all, unsubstantiated.
These elite soldiers, personally trained by the Duke of the Northern Territory, had long since had the concept of loyalty carved into their very bones. Upon hearing his speech, not a single one of them showed any sign of wavering.
Even if some did feel a flicker of hesitation, they would never dare to openly entertain the idea of surrender and treason under the watchful, predatory gazes of their comrades.
After all, on the Great Wall, countless pairs of eyes were scrutinizing one another. The slightest hint of dissent could lead to drawn blades on the spot.
Of course, Qin Feng had never expected to turn them against their master with words alone.
His true intention was to ensure that his "Riding and Cutting System" could successfully capture more soldiers from the Northern Territory later on.
After all, a just cause for war, overwhelmingly superior strength, and the universal fear of death... These factors combined were enough to plant the idea of surrender in the minds of these Native Soldiers.
And as long as they had the will to surrender, his "Recruit Prisoners" Talent could find an opening to convert these enemy troops into a reserve force for future Divine Chosen Soldiers.
Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the motionless soldiers on the Great Wall. His voice was calm, yet carried an unmistakable resolve.
"It seems,"
"you have made your decision."
"But as the ’Emperor’ of the Holy Empire, I am still willing to give you one last chance. If you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender during the battle, I can guarantee your lives."
With that, he shot a look at Kuge beside him, signaling him to launch the attack on the wall’s defenders.
