Chapter 1021 (A Fight?)
Chapter 1021 (A Fight?)
"How are you?" Ye Hua asked indifferently.
"Good, for now," Ye Yuanqing replied with a faint smile. With her big brother, she felt much more at ease.
Huang Yun, standing on the side, felt a loss of face and said in a deep voice, "General Ye, show me the defensive strategy!"
Ye Yuanqing, naturally, had to follow orders and respectfully said, "Commander Huang, please follow me."
Huang Yun's face grew heavy, nodded slightly, looking displeased.
Led by Ye Yuanqing, they entered the city walls, and all the soldiers temporarily stood by in their positions.
And the more than twenty Overlords also followed to take a look; the terrain was also crucial.
Entering the city walls, what appeared before their eyes were some mountains and forests!
Ye Hua saw such a strange phenomenon for the first time. These mountains formed a rhombus shape, piercing straight into the sky. They were not very large, about ten metres in diameter, with such mountains every thirty-three metres.
Originally, they should be called stone forests, but Ye Hua found that these things were the same colour as the surrounding mountains.
Obviously, this place was originally a mountain, so why did such gaps appear? That was really unknown.
"General Ye, what is the latest battle report?" Huang Yun asked seriously, placing his right hand on his own sun and moon divine breath. The sword also had a sheath, hiding his aura very well.
"Reporting to the commander, the people from the Demon Capital are stationed two hundred kilometres away in the territory," Ye Yuanqing reported.
Huang Yun, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows slightly. "Do you know why?"
"For the time being, we don't know. The intelligence gatherers haven't returned for a day; it's probably not good news," Ye Yuanqing replied.
Among the Overlords, there was a slender man who spoke lightly at this moment, "They should be waiting for the right moment!"
Huang Yun paused and turned to say, "Shi Yun, are you talking about the appearance of the Supreme Soul?"
"What does Commander Huang think?" There was a hint of disdain in Shi Yun's tone towards the Ninth Prince.
Ye Hua wanted to laugh upon hearing this. This Shi Yun was quite interesting, daring to confront directly.
But why did he feel that he had heard the name Shi Yun somewhere?
In his puzzled state, Ye Hua scrutinised Shi Yun and couldn't recall where he had heard the name.
Huang Yun was quite angry, but there was nothing he could do. These Overlords were not here to participate in the battle but to seize the Supreme Soul, not within his jurisdiction.
But this was really disrespectful.
"No matter how powerful the people from the Demon Capital are, how can they be my opponents!" Huang Yun snorted coldly, stroking his sun and moon divine breath. The divine sword seemed to sense its owner's anger and emitted a low hum.
"Ninth Prince, treat the enemy seriously, don't underestimate them," Shi Yun advised. 'This Ninth Prince was a bit lacking, how could the Emperor favour such a person.'
Today's Huang Yun is indeed a bit lacking in intelligence. Ye Hua provoked him from the beginning, so now his speech is a bit disorganised.
In Ye Hua's words, he is still too young. If you can stay calm and composed when watching a few years of Conan, it means you have reached the pinnacle.
Huang Yun's face darkened. 'In front of so many people, he actually scolded me?!'
'Do you still not take me seriously? Do you not take Father Emperor seriously?'
"Don't underestimate the enemy? Back then, when you went down to deal with something, didn't half of your people come back dead? Now you're here to teach me not to underestimate the enemy."
With Huang Yun's words, Ye Hua chuckled. If he guessed correctly, what was being talked about now should be that incident from years ago. This Shi Yun should also have been involved.
No wonder it felt so familiar, but he was puzzled. The impression of Shi Yun was a bit chubby, and this Shi Yun was quite slender.
"Huang Yun! Don't forget, this time it's the Emperor who intervened, and that's why we're here! Show some respect!" Shi Yun coldly admonished, completely disregarding Huang Yun.
Huang Yun casually said, "It seems like I touched your sore spot. If I encountered that kind of thing, I wouldn't be able to show my face. Over a hundred Overlords went, and less than half came back, all with injuries. Fortunately, Father Emperor kept that matter secret, otherwise, if it spread, it would be a disgrace."
As the person involved, Ye Hua expressed that if his strength had been a bit stronger back then, he could have stayed on the Sapphire Continent. There wouldn't be a need to send anyone back. These mediocre people, if he were to kill them now, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.
But watching them quarrel was quite interesting. If they started fighting now, it would be perfect.
Upon hearing Huang Yun's sarcastic words, Shi Yun seemed ready to act, and Huang Yun was also prepared. His right hand was already on the hilt of his sword. If they had to fight, Huang Yun, I'm not afraid of anyone!
Ye Hua and Huang Li stood aside in silence, quite pleased that they might fight.
Ye Yuanqing also didn't say a word. If her big brother didn't speak, there was no need for her to talk.
Both sides were Overlord-level figures, and no one was giving in. It seemed like they were going to fight.
However, at this moment, a soldier quickly ran over and shouted in front of Ye Yuanqing, "General, the enemy has moved!"
The situation came too suddenly. While they were still arguing here, the enemy had already started to move. Truly funny.
But now was a way out. Huang Yun gave a direct order.
"Vice General Huang , you lead a million soldiers to defend the right city! General Ye, you lead your own men to defend the left city. This last line of defence, I will guard!"
Just as Huang Li speculated, Huang Yun did arrange it like this. Going to the front to defend was simply seeking death! It would be better to bet all the forces on the front.
In Huang Yun's eyes, sometimes war was a time to eliminate dissent.
Facing the commander's words, nobody dared to refuse. Huang Li could only go reluctantly, leading his men.
And Ye Yuanqing also began to give orders, gathering all her men to defend the left city.
Hearing this arrangement, Shi Yun sneered inwardly. Born into royalty, he knew these little tricks. Turning war into a game, if such orders were to reach the Spirit City, the reputation of the Ninth Prince might drop again.
If they win and return triumphantly, nobody will say anything.
But if it fails, such orders belong to very basic mistakes, full of loopholes.
Originally, Huang Yun wanted to go and take a look, but upon hearing that the enemy had already moved, he went to arrange his own defensive strategy. The entire borderland started mobilising nervously!
The more than twenty Overlords did not follow Huang Yun but went with Ye Yuanqing to the left city.
Compared to the royal family, these Overlords prefer to interact with ordinary people.
Of course, it is also for the Supreme Soul? Once the war starts, the killing intent will surely gather here. Therefore, the first possible encounter will be outside the city!
