Miracle Throne Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Completely being fooled by the enemy

The instant the a.s.sorted flags of the War Hounds army disappeared, there was a large patch of black flags that appeared in the center of the army.  They looked very clean and were all exactly the same. It was like a current was flowing forward, causing all the soldiers in front to move to the side.

The Southern Summer cavalry had never seen this flag before, but from the cheers of the War Hounds around them, they knew that this was not a good thing.  Only, they had already charged out and they could not react in time.

"The War Hounds Kingdom flag!"  When Dongfang Zhan saw this flag, his eyes popped out and his face turned white, "It's the 'Fang King's' army!  A new 'Fang King' has appeared in the War Hound Plains!"

Chu Tian was already familiar with this "Fang King" t.i.tle.

The War Hounds were mainly made up of Hound and Wolf Tribes, so they wors.h.i.+ped the fangs only beasts had.  So, on the prairies, most of their clan totems were of fangs and it was also the proof of one's strength and status.

It was because of this that the highest ranked person of the War Hounds was respectfully called the "Fang King".  If it was directly translated from the Spirit Beast language, it would mean the same as a king in the human tongue!

Without the rule of the Fang King.

The War Hound Plains were in disorder.

Even alliances posed no threats because the Southern Summer Country could stir conflicts between them, letting their alliance fall apart in the blink of an eye.  However, once the Fang King was was born, the War Hound Plains would once again become the War Hounds Kingdom. This also meant that the Southern Summer Country would face a large disaster!

After the last Fang King died, it had been over a hundred years since a new Fang King appeared on the War Hound Plains!  The major tribes all had similar strength and they were fighting over the "Fang King" t.i.tle. In just a few short months, a new Fang King was born on the War Hound Plains.  There was only one possibility…..This generation's Fang King had overwhelming strength that made all other tribes submit!

Was the previous attack just the prelude?

Once the Fang King's army moved, would the real fighting begin?

This is bad!  This is dangerous!  Dongfang Zhan wanted to withdraw his cavalry, but it was already too late!

When the War Hounds army quickly separated, a fierce black platoon appeared from within the chaotic army.  This was a group of one hundred thousand people with the same black battle uniforms, the same War Hounds wolf mount, and the same giant cavalry blades!

Their weapons, equipment, and mount, these hundred thousand War Hounds Wolf Cavalry were exactly the same!

Each Wolf Cavalry had a black flag on their back with an impressive design of a beast displaying their terrifying fangs.  This silent army was releasing an aura of death making a terrifying killing intent fill the entire battlefield. The Wolf Cavalry at the front was especially remarkable.

This person was wearing a dark gold scaled armour with a stature of around two and a half meters.  His face was covered in scars with a sword scar that almost split his scalp in two. The wound was st.i.tched together, leaving a long scar.  There was a giant golden drum in front of him and this weapon seemed to hold an unimaginably strong power that even distorted the air around it.

What people noticed the most was.

This War Hound expert's mount was actually a three headed demon wolf!

The three headed demon wolf was jet black without any fur, with skin that seemed like it was petrified and flames moving around its body.  This was a bone chilling level three Demon Beast which is said to have the bloodline of the ancient "Three Headed h.e.l.l Hound". It was because of this that it had such a powerful strength!

"Fang King!"

"Fang King!"

"Fang King!"

The War Hounds Tribe members' cheers became even more wild!

When the two Southern Summer cavalry units charged over, they saw the War Hounds Wolf Cavalry that was waiting for them.  The three headed wolf's aura made the warhorses neigh in anxiety as the neat charging formation fell into chaos.

"Fang King?  He is the Fang King?"  A cavalry general knew that once a large group of cavalry began their charge, it was impossible for them to stop halfway.  This was because the cavalry unit was too big and the orders could not be sent down, so retreat was only something that could occur after being defeated.  Since that was the case, why would he not go all out, "Charge! Kill the leader of the sc.u.m!"

Was the Fang King strong enough to block the charge of over a hundred thousand cavalry?

Under the charge of this high speed cavalry unit, even a True Spirit Realm expert would die!

The Fang King slowly raised the golden drum in his hand and a several dozen meter area was filled with energy, creating a strong energy field.  When the Fang King raised the weapon high up, a small beam of lightning soared into the sky. Then the sky over the Fang King was soon filled with large amounts of dark clouds.

"Purple Gold Lightning G.o.d Drum, release your rage!"

The Southern Summer Country wanted to charge over, but large amounts of lightning appeared in the sky and fell down like rain without stop.  Whether it was the cavalry or the horses, as long as they were hit by the lightning, they were immediately turned to a black crisp, being killed on the spot.

The attack of the Fang King's attack had killed at least two hundred elite Southern Summer Cavalry.  The other Southern Summer Cavalry revealed looks of shock because this power far surpa.s.sed their expectations.  This situation did not seem good!

"What is Malim doing?"  The Fang King did not pay any attention to the Southern Summer Cavalry, staring at the frontline fortress in front of him, "Since he personally made me make a move!"

This newly crowned Fang King raised the powerful purple gold drum high up and his cold voice resounded through the world, "Leave not a single one, kill them all!"

The sound of battle drums resounded!

The silent hundred thousand Demon Wolf Cavalry received their orders and they began to charge forth, with speed that was double that of the Southern Summer Cavalry.  When the wave of the blue and the wave of black collided, the black wave did not stop as it instantly submerged the Southern Summer elite cavalry group!

This fight could not be fought!

The Southern Summer cavalry rode the Azure Storm Colts which were only level one demon beasts!

The War Hounds cavalry were riding Demonic Wolves which were level two demon beasts!

This group of Demonic Wolves were all at least in the 1st Awakened Soul Layer, so even if the rider themselves were not strong, the Southern Summer cavalry was currently facing an army of one hundred thousand Awakened Soul Cultivators.  With this large quant.i.ty coming at this terrifying scale, the superiority they possessed was overwhelming!

The Demonic Wolves had many abilities, for example, explosive charges, spirit energy defenses, and being able to spit demonic flames.  If it was by itself, it was not considered strong, but with over a hundred thousand of them, this was an incomparably terrifying strength.

The majority of the War Hounds cavalry were in the 1st-2nd Awakened Soul Layer!

Even on the continent, this would be considered an elite troop.  For the elite troops of a small country like the Southern Summer Country, they were simply not on the same level, causing this to be an one sided slaughter.

Countless Southern Summer Soldiers were ruthlessly knocked down, bitten to death, or ripped to pieces.

The Fang King held the purple golden drum covered in lightning as he killed the enemies.  Wherever the golden drum went, man and horse were all turned to ashes. There was no one that was his match and no one that could stop him!

"Fang King!"

"Fang King!"

When the War Hounds army saw the Fang King's army's terrifying strength, their morale instantly surged and they wildly charged at the Southern Summer cavalry.

A hundred thousand cavalry soldiers!

This was the entire cavalry unit of the long wall!

They were currently being slaughtered by the War Hounds right in front of Dongfang Zhan!

The hearts of the Southern Summer army fell into a valley.  They had already thought they had won, but they were slammed with the facts in front of them.  When they were faced with this wild and powerful army, fear began to fill the hearts of every person here.

"Kill all humans!"

The Demonic Wolf Cavalry tore through the Southern Summer cavalry like a giant black sword, currently stabbing out at the frontline fortress.  The Southern Summer soldiers seemed like they had awakened from a dream as the various commanders immediately gave their orders.

"Prepare for battle!"

"We must stop them outside of the walls!"

At this time, the Fang King raised the Purple Gold Lightning G.o.d Drum high up, "Bestow strength upon me!"  A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the purple gold drum. The Fang King suddenly threw out the weapon and it slammed into the wall gates with a violent power, instantly creating a giant hole in the gates.

The Southern Summer garrison were sent flying with pitiful cries.

Too terrifying!

This weapon's strength is simply unheard of before!

The Fang King's strength was already enough to fill them with panic, but after the Fang King destroyed the wall gates with a single attack, the Demonic Wolf Cavalry jumped over the deep and wide moat and charged into the fortress.  The Southern Summer generals cried out in panic.

"The west line has been lost, the west line has been lost!"

"Requesting backup, requesting urgent backup!"

The entire fortress was filled with pitiful and sad cries.  In front of this terrifying army, even the frontline army that the Southern Summer Country was proud of collapsed with a single blow like a piece of paper!

Dongfang Zhan tightly gripped his fist in anger, "It is impossible to build up this army in just a single day.  If the War Hound Plains had this kind of army, how could I possible not know about it! Where did they come from!"

Gu Qianqiu urged Dongfang Zhan, "Marshal, the frontline fortress cannot be defended, we must immediately retreat back to Imperial City!"

"You can all leave!"  Dongfang Zhan also knew that once the Fang King broke the wall gates, the frontline could no longer be defended, "You must go back and report to Imperial City, tell them to immediately make preparations.  Once the frontline defenses fall, they will inevitably go for Imperial City. Once Imperial City falls, the Southern Summer Country cannot be protected anymore!"

Meng Qingwu asked, "Then what about the senior marshal?"

"This old soldier has guarded the frontlines for over fifty years!"  Dongfang Zhan stood there holding a spear, facing the waves of Demonic Wolf Cavalry that were coming, "I'll fight bravely to the last moment!  Don't say anything else! The Southern Summer Country still needs you all! Quickly leave!"

The frontline fortress would not be able to stop this new wave of attacks.

Whether they were willing or not, they had to accept these results!

Right now Imperial City still did not know what happened here.  This news had to be sent back to Imperial City, otherwise, how could they resist such a terrifying army?

Chu Tian urged, "With the Calm Martial Ruler absent, Imperial City will need an experienced commanding officer.  I think the old general should leave with us still!"

"The Dongfang Family has countless talented generals and the Nangong Family has famous generals like clouds, why do you need this old man?"  Dongfang Zhan had already made his decision, "You don't need to say anything else. This old man has guarded the frontlines for fifty years, I have already disregarded life and death.  My blood and flesh have already become a part of the Southern Summer great wall. I must fight for it to the end!"

Chu Tian knit his brows, but Gu Qianqiu stood up, "Country Guarding Ruler, Chairman Meng, since it has become like this, then please respect the old general's wishes.  The Southern Summer Country still needs you all!"

That's right.

It was impossible for a person like Dongfang Zhan to retreat.  Even if he knew remaining here was death, for honour, for his faith, for his vows, he would die fighting to the last second.

Gu Qianqiu and the several dozen griffin knights gather together.  He brought out a griffin for Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu, "Go!"

Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu cupped their hands to Dongfang Zhan before mounting the griffin and following Gu Qianqiu, leaving the frontline fortress.  This news had to be quickly sent to Imperial City, otherwise Imperial City would really be in danger!

At this time, pitiful cries were coming from within the frontline fortress.  The Southern Summer troops had suffered serious casualties.

They were already seriously injured, but with the War Hounds Kingdom's Demonic Wolf Cavalry's second charge, it only took a quarter of an hour for them to smash the gate.  The Demonic Wolf Cavalry swarmed in and fought a life and death battle with the remaining Southern Summer defense army.

The frontline fortress still had around four hundred thousand soldiers which was an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers.

But these armies were scattered and were already very exhausted, using at least half of their spirit energy.  They were unable to use any strong battle strength at this time, so the result of the battle was equal to an one sided slaughter.

One Southern Summer soldier after the other died under the butcher's blade.

This battle scene could already be described as h.e.l.l on earth!

Dongfang Zhan gathered several tens of thousands of elites in a short period of time and launched a suicidal attack on the War Hounds cavalry.  They were able to eliminate around three thousand Demonic Wolf Cavalry with a casualty of ten to one which was already enough to make Dongfang Zhan proud.

This was after all a small country that could not match this kind of powerful army!

The thirty thousand elites by Dongfang Zhan's side were all killed and there were only a few of his own soldiers still fighting a b.l.o.o.d.y battle with him.

"The Southern Summer Country will never fall!"

Dongfang Zhan's body was covered in wounds, with four arrows in him and a spear piercing through his abdomen, but he was chopped down seven Demonic Wolf Riders, before standing atop a mountain of corpses.  His white hair danced in the breeze as he was surrounded by the Demonic Wolf Cavalry, with the Fang King riding the Three Headed Demon Wolf in front of him.

Dongfang Zhan gave three wild laughs before suddenly stabbing out with his spear, piercing another two Demonic Wolf Cavalry.

Pa!

This spear was grabbed by a large hand.

Holding the purple gold drum in one hand while riding the Three Headed Demon Wolf over, a pair of cold and cruel eyes were staring right at Dongfang Zhan, "Even in this situation, you still caused quite a bit of damage to my army.   You really are worthy of being one of the best Southern Summer Generals."

"The Southern Summer's best general is the Calm Martial Ruler, what does this old man count for?"  Dongfang Zhan did not need to ask to know the other side's ident.i.ty, "If you did not fear the Calm Martial Ruler, why did you lead him away?"

"Surrender!"  The Fang King coldly said, "The Southern Summer Country will soon be a va.s.sal state of my War Hounds Country.  As long as you surrender and give your loyalty to me, you will still be a famous Southern Summer general!"

Dongfang Zhan's spirit energy had already been exhausted and he could no longer fight with his severe injuries.  Dongfang Zhan disdained responding to the Fang King as he directly pulled out the saber from his waist and a splash of blood could be seen.

Dongfang Zhan stood in the wreckage of the fortress with a body covered in scars and white hair floating on the breeze, but he looked like an angry giant facing the north.

Dongfang Zhan decided to take his own life.

The frontline fortress had completely fallen to the enemies.
