Chapter 601

(Unedited)



Inside the small city of Yun Hi, a group of guards and some of the city leaders are currently stop the walls watching the large army slowly appearing on the horizon. Although it is very far, the sheer number of the two armies could still be seen from their position.

Even the marching sound could be faintly heard by the people stop the walls.

"City Lord, what should we do? If the battle starts won't we be affected?" the commander of the guards asked while standing beside a man in his 30's with a scholarly appearance.

"I have read in the records and heard my father talk about this event. The last time the Li'ang colonies fought was many years ago. And this time we are witnessing history repeating itself." The City Lord said while watching the horizon with his hands behind his back.

"I'm just afraid that the battle would reach the city and would affect us."

"It will and we will not do anything about it. Just make sure that the city doors are locked and secured. If not then it would be the end of us all."

After saying those words the city Lord retracted his gaze and walk down from the walls. He didn't want to think more about it. According to the records, the fighting would start and there would be some Li'angs that would escape their way. They just have to hold on and not interfere so that they would not anger any parties.

And so everyone in the city hid inside their homes and waited with bated breath while prying for the war to end soon.



Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is already adjusting the crosshair of his rifle as he carefully judges the distance. With the quality of the bullets he has, it is not powerful enough to travel for 1 kilometer. Hence he needed at most 500 meters to be able to shot accurately.

However, the situation in front of him is truly vexing. With a large number of Li'ang soldiers marching below, he is sure that if he is discovered, then his body would be riddled with arrows. Plus, from the looks of it, these Li'ang enemy army is equipped with human crafted armor and weapons.

This truly baffled him a bit. How could they create something so similar? Even the sword on their h.i.p.s looks like the sword that was given to him at the camp in the frontlines.

Then a suspicion appears in his mind that he could not deny even though how absurd it was.

And so he just concentrated on his target as he carefully and took his time to scope his target. Not long later, from within his sights, he already saw a tall woman with dark skin sitting on a war chariot while being pulled by four large Groogs (hornless Bull-type creature).

The imposing aura of the dark-skinned woman which seems to be the queen of this army is truly fascinating. Then Shin Jiao was baffled that he could not read her mouth. It seems that she is talking in another language, maybe it is their local language. But since he could not understand anything he just shook his head and continues watching.

Suddenly, from his scope, he noticed a tall person wearing a full armor with two large sabers on his back. Upon seeing this, he was a bit surprised. But then his conjecture was further validated by the presence of that man.

"Hmm… alright, after her, it would be you next." Shin Jiao muttered.

This time, he installed a silencer on his rifle, hoping that it would at least suppress the sound and not attract the soldiers marching below.

He looks at the time on the upper side corner of his sight, and then carefully assessed his target.

Right now, the large army of the enemy soldiers has already passed his location and many are still marching. Then when the distance of his target drew near, he carefully flicks a sharp needle from his hand into another around 50 meters away from his location.

With a smile on his face, he waited.

"800 meters…"

"700 meters…"

"600 meters…"

"…"

Suddenly…

Ka-boom!

A loud explosion from high up a tree rattled the soldiers and everyone turns their attention towards that location. From above a very tall tree everyone can see thick smoke rising up to the air and the tree began to burn.

The soldiers immediately turn to the sky thinking that the tree might have been hit by lightning. As creatures of the forest, they have seen these things happened so they thought of the possibility, but are still confused.

Then before everyone can react, a shrill cry coming from the center of the marching army, gained their attention. But as they focused and heard what that cry is saying everyone froze in disbelief. Anxiety, panic, and fear can be seen in their faces.

Confusion immediately engulfed the army.

Although Shin Jiao didn't know what they were saying, he didn't care. He has already done his part and now it's that Queen's turn.

On top of the war chariot, laid two people, a man, and a female Li'ang. Both of their heads are incomplete and have their skull shattered. It was the enemy Queen and the human beside her.

While the commotion is happening, Queen Klo who just stopped charging suddenly showed a faint smile on her beautiful face. She then shouted for her army to continue advancing.

The next event has no thrill anymore. With the death of their queen, the colony is already destroyed. Unlike humans who have advance thinking. Most soldiers in the Li'ang army rely on their instinct and the command from their queen. And now that they are queenless, everything was in disarray.

The large army fell and the Under City won.

Queen Klo looks at the bloody scene in front of her and a happy smile is on her face. She was too elated and didn't expect that her army would not even suffer that big of a casualty.

"I've kept my bargain… now it's your turn." Suddenly a man's voice said from above a tree.

Upon hearing that voice, a pleasant feeling came over her as she shifted her gaze towards the young man sitting casually high up the tree.

"My lord, this humble one is really grateful for your benevolence." She said as she suddenly jumps down from her mount and kneels one knee on the ground while lowering herself.

She is not that stupid. This human can take weapons out of thin air and can make thunderous explosions and lightning. If he is not a god, then what is he?

With that, great respect was etched deep in her heart towards the deity who helped her people.

The victorious army marches back to their city while taking their spoils of war. Due to the panic of the other Li'ang army, they were unable to utilize the power of the iron sword and their armor. Hence the army of the Under City has gained far too many iron armors, weapons, and shields. These things are enough to make Queen Klo happy.

She knew that the humans are behind this attack, but she didn't care. No human would dare attack the Under City and that has already been proven from a long time ago even today.

Shin Jiao was given amount and was riding beside the Queen. Many female Li'angs gazes did not leave him which made him feel shivers run down his spine. This is especially true to the female generals beside the Queen. They are hoping for a better male to have a strong offspring.

Some of them even considered some humans outside. However, for them, regular humans are weak and feeble. So, how could they waste their time on those weak beings? But right now, they have here a very strong human with amazing fighting ability to command the elements, how could they not eye him?

But of course, they have to control themselves as they knew that the queen is interested in this human.

As Shin Jiao descends down through a large cave protected by a few strong Li'ang soldiers who look like barbarians with strong hairy tails on their backs, he saw a long tunnel.

For 30 minutes the army marches as he can feel that they are going down on a winding path.

Soon from the dimly lit cavern, he noticed a small light from ahead. As they drew closer, the light grew brighter. Shin Jiao was then greeted by an unbelievable sight.

Although he is underground and the concept of time in this place seems different, but he can feel the vibrant environment in this place. He was thinking that these creatures are living a caveman-like lifestyle and wore sackcloth just like those from above the ground. But it turns out that they lived like the dwarves in the movies with their magnificent caves and structures.

Plus the whole city is not dim at all. From above there are multiple small orb-like objects that light up the Under City and the Li'angs living in it. The houses of course are dug up earthen cavern with different designs.

There are even unique flower growing on the side, which baffled him because in this place though it is bright, there are no sunshine.

Shin Jiao is like an ignorant child who turns his gaze with interest in everything he sees. And this made Queen Klo smile in satisfaction.

"I guess even gods have things that they didn't know." She thought as he took a quick glance at the man beside her.

As they continue traveling, Shin Jiao has seen many different things that he wanted to visit at least once before leaving this interesting place.

After thinking up to that, he just continues to satisfy his eyes for now while following the queen.

Soon, the army separated from the group following their commanders. The queen and the generals continue towards a looming palace which Shin Jiao can now see from afar. Not long later, he can now see a golden gate with many precious stones inlaid on the walls.

He just heaves s sigh at this scene.

As he travels in this underground city, he has noticed that even the roads have some precious stones on the side which would cause big trouble if it was taken above. However, in this place, it is being used as a decoration in a courtyard gate. How ironic is that?
