Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 161 Decisive Battle (2)

"Your Highness, they have already fallen into the trap."

A scout quickly approached Qin Wu and reported the battle situation of the other three military camps.

Now, Qin Wu already knows the result even without scouts coming to report.

After all, with flames raging in the distance, how could he not know what the outcome would be?

"Keep an eye on it!"

"Liu Qiu, it's your turn to make a move. You and a few others go and block the Left Wise King and his men on their way back to the city. I'll come over after I've cleared this place."

Qin Wu waved for the scouts to leave, then gave instructions to Liu Qiu beside him.

Now that they're here, how could he possibly let them leave?

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing Qin Wu's order, Liu Qiu couldn't help but curl a wicked smile into his lips.

He's been holding back for so long, he can finally have some fun.

After saying this, Liu Qiu led his troops away, heading in the direction where the Left Wise King and his men were.

"Kill, leave no one behind."

After Liu Qiu left, Qin Wu waved his hand and coldly gave the order.

With Qin Wu's orders, the Zhenbei Army no longer merely besieged the enemy without attacking; instead, they launched the fiercest attack on the Northern Barbarian Army.

These northern barbarian soldiers were already demoralized, and after being surrounded, they were terrified of the well-equipped heavy cavalry.

They have already suffered considerable mental anguish during the time they were surrounded.

Now that the Zhenbei Army has launched an attack, they have almost no ability to resist; it's practically a massacre.

In less than half an hour, the 150,000-strong army was slaughtered.

"Your Highness, take care of everything."

Qi Ye reported this to Qin Wu.

"Alright, send troops to deal with the other two places. The rest of you will come with me to meet our Northern Barbarian Left Wise King."

After Qin Wu finished speaking, he immediately led his troops towards the direction where the Left Wise King was located.

Meanwhile, after being outmaneuvered, the Left Wise King immediately began to gather the fleeing Northern Barbarian army.

After finishing the collection, we prepared to return to the city.

However, they were unexpectedly blocked, which made the Left Wise King and his men look extremely ugly.

He hadn't expected the Zhenbei Army to arrive so quickly.

"Step aside."

The Left Wise King glared angrily at Liu Qiu, who was blocking his way.

"Get out of the way? You think you can just leave now that you've come?"

Liu Qiu sneered.

He looked coldly at the Left Wise King.

In his view, the Left Wise King was nothing but a clown who dared to scheme against them without even considering whether he had the ability to do so.

"Liu Qiu, whether you let us pass or not, you should know that we have three Grandmasters here, and they are all at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, while you have only just broken through. Do you think you can stop us?"

Looking at Liu Qiu's attitude, the Left Wise King's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

If it weren't for the worry that Liu Qiu wouldn't be able to be defeated in a short time, and that he would be dragged out until the Divine Martial King came to provide support.

They can't leave even if they want to.

"Who told you that you were supposed to come alone? Liu Yu, do you want to come out and meet our Prince Zuo Xian?"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Qiu laughed wildly.

As he finished speaking, Liu Yu stepped out from the army.

Along with Liu Yu came another person shrouded in black robes.

Both of them exuded the aura of grandmasters.

The Left Wise King's pupils narrowed slightly as he looked at the two people who had emerged.

He hadn't expected that there were hidden Grandmaster-level experts in the Zhenbei Army. Now that two Grandmaster-level experts had appeared in the Zhenbei Army, even if their strength was inferior to theirs, it wouldn't be difficult to hold them back.

Especially with the assistance of the elite Zhenbei Army behind them, the three Grandmasters had little advantage whatsoever.

Now, not only did the Left Wise King look unpleasant, but the Lion King and the other two also looked extremely grim.

They never expected that their scheme against the Zhenbei Army would backfire and they would be outsmarted by the Zhenbei Army.

This has put them in such a dilemma.

"Left Wise King, do you still think we can't stop you?"

Liu Qiu smiled wickedly.

He was very satisfied with the expressions on the faces of the Left Wise King and the others.

"you..."

The Left Wise King was so angered by Liu Qiu's attitude that he didn't know how to refute him.

"It seems the Left Wise King is not going to make a move, then this general will."

"All troops, listen to my command: kill!"

After giving the order, Liu Qiu immediately led the charge.

Liu Yu and the other two exchanged a glance and then charged directly towards the Northern Barbarian Lion King and his group.

Upon seeing this, Lion King and his companions stepped forward without hesitation to stop Liu Qiu and his group.

They absolutely cannot allow Liu Qiu and his men to break into the Zhenbei Army.

The war broke out.

The city is now in chaos.

Assassins were everywhere, constantly trying to assassinate important officials of the Northern Barbarians within the city.

Upon receiving the news, the Northern Barbarian King immediately led his men to try and stop the assassination.

However, the Northern Barbarian King was stopped at the gate of the Northern Barbarian Palace.

"who are you?"

The Northern Barbarian King stared coldly at the man in black before him.

Although he was asking questions, he already had a guess in his mind: this person was probably the assassin from Eastern Qin who had been lurking in the shadows all along.

"Judging from His Majesty the Barbarian King's expression, he must have already guessed who I am. Why not ask him the unnecessary question?"

Xuan Yue said with a smile.

With Qin Wu's support during this period, his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he has now broken through to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

The Barbarian King is no problem for him at all now.

He was confident he could kill the Barbarian King, who had only recently broken through to the next level, given the vast difference in their strength.

Don't underestimate these two minor realms; they are worlds apart.

Upon hearing Xuan Yue's words, the Barbarian King immediately knew that his guess was correct.

But he was helpless; he could clearly sense that he was no match for the person in front of him.

Now he can only watch helplessly as chaos erupts in the city, unable to offer any assistance.

"Are you from Eastern Qin, or from the Divine Martial King?"

The barbarian king voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

According to his investigation, the relationship between the Divine Martial King and the Eastern Qin court was very delicate.

If this person is one of Shenwu King's men, he wants to try to see if he can pay some price to make Shenwu King withdraw his troops.

Protect their northern barbarians.

"You're clever. Yes, I am one of the Divine Martial King's men, but so what?"

"What, trying to build connections?"

Xuan Yue sneered.

He wasn't in a hurry to make a move, so he decided to tease the Northern Barbarian King for a while.

It's just something to pass the time.

"I wonder if you could introduce me to the Divine Martial King? I would like to make a deal with him. I am willing to lead the entire Northern Barbarians under his command and support him forever."

The Northern Barbarian King no longer refers to himself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "I"), but instead uses "我" (Wo, meaning "I" or "me").

This shows how critical the situation has become for the Northern Barbarians.

This is the only solution the Northern Barbarian King can think of right now.

He could sense that a great battle between Grandmasters was taking place outside the city. Among the several auras, three were familiar to him, and he knew that one of the remaining three auras belonged to Shura, one of the four generals under the Divine Martial King. As for the other two auras, he had never seen them before.

However, since they were fighting against them, it was clear that they were not one of their own.

Originally, the Grandmaster level experts under the Divine Martial King were already on par with them, but now there are three more.

That was definitely not good news for the northern barbarians.

If we don't want to be destroyed, the only way now is to make a deal with the Divine Martial King.
