Chapter 2045: Violent Legion

Zhai Tianfang was stunned for a moment before realizing that the person standing in front of him was actually the current Princess.

He immediately stepped forward, bowed, and saluted.

"Zhai Tianfang, City Lord of Tianlang City, greets Your Highness the Princess!"

"Rise!"

Song Yaoji put on the airs of a Princess, waved her hand, and said arrogantly, "With us here, your Tianlang City is saved.

Now I have a task for you."

"Please instruct, Your Highness the Princess!"

Facing Prince Anshun's daughter, Zhai Tianfang dared not show any disrespect.

"It's like this: immediately arrange for a few quick-witted people to count.

We are currently in a competition…"

She briefly explained the New Talent Ranking Tournament, concluding, "You arrange for people to count carefully.

Later, we need to know exactly how many barbarians our three teams have killed, without any mistakes.

Did you hear me clearly?"

"Yes, this subordinate heard clearly!"

Zhai Tianfang was a bit surprised, not expecting these dozen or so people to be here for a competition.

He then, without any hesitation, immediately called over a few quick-witted and capable subordinates, assigning them into groups of three to be responsible for counting for Lingxiao Academy, Cangfeng Academy, and the Tianfeng Empire Imperial Family, respectively.

Fang Huayu walked over with a cold sneer, mockingly glancing at Ye Bufan: "I said it long ago, what if you have a flying Spiritual Artifact?

Running fast is useless; ultimately, victory can only be ours!"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "If you lose again later, you can suggest to Prince Anshun to change the competition to bragging.

Then our Lingxiao Academy will directly concede defeat, as we truly can't compare to you in that skill."

Jiang Fangzhou followed up, saying, "That's right.

You've already lost one round, and you still have the nerve to stand here talking.

If I were you, I'd just pee on myself and drown."

Fang Huayu's old face instantly turned a liver-like shade of purple, but at this moment, he naturally couldn't back down.

He toughened up and said, "Not convinced, are you?

Then just wait and see who kills more barbarians later."

Feng Tianxiang followed up, saying, "Exactly.

Even if you were lucky enough to win a few moves on the arena, what does that matter?

Defending the homeland is the real skill."

Fang Huayu looked at Zhai Tianfang: "City Lord Zhai, when can we launch another attack?

I hope this time some elites come.

Those just now were really too weak; they weren't even worth killing!"

Song Yaoji said, "Zhai Tianfang, besides these counters, let everyone else rest.

From now on, this city will be handed over to us."

Although Tianlang City was very large, all of them were Cultivators at or above the Soul Transformation Stage, possessing extremely strong flying abilities, so defending it was not too difficult.

"Alright then!"

Zhai Tianfang (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) did not dare to disobey Song Yaoji's order, but he did not directly withdraw all his men.

Instead, he had his wounded soldiers retreat directly below the city wall to rest and treat their injuries.

And just then, a sharp horn blast echoed from the city wall again, followed by renewed shouts of battle.

Zhai Lingxiu glanced down at the city and her expression changed drastically: "This… this… this is actually the Rampage Legion!

Qingye Barbarian King actually brought the Rampage Legion this time!"

Ye Bufan looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a vast, dark mass of soldiers gathered on the city wall.

Although their physical size appeared slightly smaller than the barbarians from before, their entire bodies exuded a killing Qi.

As stated before, the smaller the barbarian's body, the stronger their power.

It seemed these soldiers were at least one Rank higher than the previous ones.

Feng Tianxiang, however, was unaware of this and said indifferently, "What's with all this 'Rampage' talk?

With us here, how could they possibly rampage?"

Song Yaoji followed up, saying, "Exactly.

These barbarians don't even look as good as the ones from before.

What's there to be so surprised about?"

Zhai Tianfang was also startled, and now, recovering from his shock, he quickly said, "Your Highness the Princess, you misunderstood.

The smaller the barbarian's body, the stronger their power.

Those who just charged up were only Rank three barbarian soldiers, but the Rampage Legion is entirely composed of Rank two barbarian soldiers.

They are Qingye King's most capable personal guard legion, and their combat power is simply incomparable.

To put it this way, if they had deployed the Rampage Legion from the very beginning, Tianlang City would not have lasted until now; it would have been conquered long ago."

Song Yaoji shook her head: "It's not as exaggerated as you say.

If they were really that powerful, why would they hold back and wait until now?"

Zhai Tianfang secretly shook his head, thinking that this Princess truly understood nothing.

"Your Highness the Princess, you don't know that the Rampage Legion has always been Qingye Barbarian King's personal guard legion, and this trump card would not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Previously, they probably thought Tianlang City could be easily taken, so they didn't deploy the Rampage Legion.

Now that they've discovered we have reinforcements, they want to end the battle quickly…"

Zhai Tianfang said urgently, "Your Highness the Princess, since Qingye Barbarian King has even deployed the Rampage Legion, relying solely on the few of you present might not be enough to hold them off.

I'll bring all the soldiers up.

If we fight with all our might, perhaps we can still hold out until the King's army arrives!"

"You're really a coward! I truly don't know how you became a City Lord."

Song Yaoji said with utter disdain, "Just do as I say; if anything goes wrong, it's on me."

She had been pampered since childhood, and as merely a Cultivator, she knew nothing about military campaigns.

In her opinion, even if the Rampage Legion's soldiers changed from Rank three barbarians to (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Rank two, what difference would it make?

At most, they would just be a little stronger; they still couldn't stop her and her people.

One must know that there were seven or eight Void Refining Realm experts on her side, while the combat power of those barbarian soldiers was, at most, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

She had no idea that on the battlefield, it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Zhai Tianfang was filled with urgency, yet he had no way to act, as her status was clearly there, and he truly couldn't afford to offend her.

The most crucial point was that if he angered this Princess, and she took her people and left, then Tianlang City would truly be lost.

At this moment, Ye Bufan smiled slightly and pulled him aside: "City Lord Zhai, since the Princess said it's fine, then it's fine.

There's no need to be so concerned."

"Alright then!"

Zhai Tianfang looked helpless; there was nothing he could change now.

And just then, the Rampage Legion had already charged to the base of the city wall.

From the speed of their advance, it was clear that this unit was much stronger than the previous barbarian soldiers.

Without the obstruction of the defending soldiers' arrows and rolling logs and boulders, the barbarian soldiers charged even more rapidly, and almost in the blink of an eye, the vanguard had reached the city wall.

"Tell your people to start counting."

Song Yaoji instructed Zhai Tianfang, then brandished the Twin Swords of Mother and Son in her hand and charged forward, "Kill them!"

To facilitate counting, she led her people to the left side, while the Cangfeng Academy people went to the right side, once again leaving the middle position to Lingxiao Academy.

With an angry shout from Song Yaoji, the precious sword in her hand instantly severed the head of a barbarian soldier.

Then a sneer of disdain appeared on her face.

What Rampage Legion?

Nothing more than that.

Although much stronger than the previous Rank three barbarian soldiers, they still couldn't withstand a single move from her.

But before the smile on her face could fade, four or five barbarian soldiers rushed over, followed by seven or eight, then a dozen, surrounding her in the center.

These barbarian soldiers were not only much stronger than before, but they also feared no death.

Seeing their comrades die in front of them, they didn't even bat an eye, their bloodshot eyes like raging beasts, continuously launching attacks.

As time passed, Song Yaoji successively killed over twenty people, but her mood grew heavy.

These barbarian soldiers kept increasing in number, continuously swarming up from below the city, and giving her no chance to breathe.

Although she could still resist for the time being, under the continuous assault of these soldiers, she had already begun to retreat.

The same was true for those beside her.

Although they had a great advantage in individual combat ability, they were completely overwhelmed and wiped out by the tide-like offensive of the Rampage Legion.
