The facts proved that, in the face of death, even the bravery of the barbarians had its limits.
When Lanling led over a thousand riders charging madly, massacring one-sidedly, the Chimera Tribe masses blocking the road were first completely stunned. They had never seen such a scene before.
Countless splatters of blood, countless severed limbs and broken arms flying through the air.
Countless corpses were directly sent flying into the sky.
Endless miserable screams, the thundering of warhorses.
The entire tribe’s main road was as if it had been ploughed over, covered with corpses everywhere.
This was completely hell, the eighteenth level of hell.
And these over a thousand riders were completely the ferocious beasts of hell.
After the shock came complete terror. Countless people threw away the crude weapons in their hands, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, fleeing desperately in all directions, madly running back home.
From this point on, the over a thousand riders led by Lanling had a clear path, charging along the tribe’s main road towards the great gate.
When there were still several hundred metres from the tribe’s great gate, they encountered the true obstacle.
Yang Gu led one thousand soldiers in defensive formation at the tribe’s great gate. Among them, over two hundred were on the city walls. The remaining eight hundred plus were arrayed beneath the city walls.
However, it was truly too rushed. There was simply no time to move heavy obstacles like cheval de frise.
Eight hundred tribal soldiers stood in neat formation, using huge shields to form a shield wall.
Of course, this eight-hundred-man army formation was not difficult to charge through. But the city gate behind them was tightly locked. Even if they broke through Yang Gu’s eight-hundred-man army formation, they could not break through the great gate.
And at this moment, Constantine the Second led one thousand soldiers madly pursuing from behind. The distance from Lanling’s over a thousand riders was only slightly over a thousand metres.
Not only that, the other one thousand soldiers defending the city walls were also charging madly towards here.
So the key now was the city gate. Once the city gate could not be broken, Lanling’s over a thousand riders would fall into encirclement.
Cavalry losing their mobility was basically a dead end.
Once surrounded beneath the city gate, Lanling’s over a thousand foreign army members were also on a dead end.
Ahead was Yang Gu’s one thousand troops. Behind was the one thousand troops pursuing from Constantine the Second. To the left and right were another one thousand troops charging madly.
That was to say, the over a thousand foreign army members led by Lanling were being surrounded on all four sides.
The time left to him was extremely, extremely short. At most, no more than three minutes.
Within three minutes, if he did not lead the over a thousand foreign army members out through the tribe’s great gate, there would only be one result: total annihilation.
Of course, he and Duo Duo and the others might not die.
But the over a thousand foreign army members were the seeds of his tribe’s establishment. If the foreign army was completely annihilated, he would have nothing. The future Flame Demon Tribe, the Flame Demon Empire, would all turn into bubbles.
“Lanling, you actually dare to lead the foreign army in rebellion?” Yang Gu roared loudly: “Release the chieftainess. Otherwise I will tear you into ten thousand pieces.”
Lanling raised his hand.
Immediately, the over a thousand riders behind him gradually stopped, halting at a distance of over three hundred metres from the city walls.
The over one thousand troops of Constantine the Second behind, and the over one thousand tribal troops to the left and right, were rapidly closing in.
The over a thousand foreign army members were about to be completely surrounded.
“Pretty boy, can you do it? If we can’t break through the city gate, we’ll be completely annihilated.” Duo Duo said in a trembling voice.
Constantine the Second roared loudly: “Mother, I am sorry. These rebels are rebelling, so no matter what happens, we absolutely cannot open the city gate.”
His meaning was very clear. Even if Lanling threatened with Gou Li’s life, it was useless. They would absolutely not open the city gate.
Regarding this point, Lanling had long anticipated it.
Although Constantine the Second cared about his mother’s life, he absolutely could not bear the responsibility of the foreign army successfully rebelling and breaking out of the tribe.
The crime of the city gate falling was greater than the crime of causing the chieftainess’s death.
Lanling ignored the troops approaching from behind and from the left and right.
He took a deep breath, and said loudly: “Dagger formation, line up!”
Immediately, the over a thousand riders began to line up, forming a dagger formation.
Although Lanling’s cultivation was not the highest, he was at the blade’s tip position. Behind him were Duo Duo and Duo Long.
The dagger formation was lined up and ready.
Lanling pointed his war blade forward, and roared: “Advance without retreat, charge!”
Then, he once again led the charge.
The over a thousand riders grew faster and faster.
Accelerating to the extreme.
And ahead was the shield wall formed by Yang Gu’s troops.
“Aoo…” Lanling abruptly let out a roar, like the cry of a dragon and the roar of a tiger.
Bloodline power critical strike was mixed into this roar.
Immediately, the soldiers at the very front were as if swept by a hurricane, abruptly sent flying.
Then, the dagger formation of over a thousand riders led by Lanling penetrated Yang Gu’s eight-hundred-man army formation without any surprise.
It was as if a sharp blade pierced into lard, penetrating effortlessly.
Huge thundering sounds, mad crashing sounds, bones breaking sounds, endless miserable screams.
Layer upon layer of sounds, unceasing.
Once again, bones and corpses flew through the air. Once again, severed arms and broken limbs.
Facing a rapidly charging cavalry formation, infantry defending in place had almost no power to resist whatsoever.
Lanling effortlessly penetrated the eight-hundred-man army formation.
But Yang Gu did not care. Constantine the Second also did not care.
Because ahead was still a thick city gate.
This city gate was made of hard wood over a chi thick. Both the inner and outer layers were also wrapped in half a cun of iron shell, weighing tens of thousands of jin.
And what secured the great gate were all iron hooks as thick as arms.
Not only that, there were also four iron pillars as thick as thighs on the ground, firmly wedging the great gate in place.
To open the city gate, one must first lower the iron pillars wedging the great gate in the underground mechanism room, then remove the iron door bolt as thick as a calf’s leg.
This gate, even with a force of over a hundred thousand jin, could not be forcibly broken through.
Even with Suo Mo’s martial arts, he could not push open this city gate, let alone Lanling.
Seeing Lanling lead the over a thousand foreign army members penetrating Yang Gu’s army formation, yet still not slowing down, charging towards the great city gate, the chieftainess Gou Li could hardly believe her eyes.
Was Lanling mad?
Crashing into the city gate at such high speed, apart from broken bones, there was no second possibility.
And with over a thousand cavalry all crashing into it, without anyone else even needing to fight, they would themselves be half dead and injured.
Using warhorses to crash into the city gate was completely the behaviour of a madman plus an idiot.
Not only Gou Li, but Duo Duo and Duo Long also felt their hearts tremble with fear, seeing Lanling continue to charge madly at high speed.
This, this was completely seeking death. What difference was there between this and riding a horse to crash into a cliff?
However, the over a thousand foreign army members at this moment had boiling blood in their veins, incomparably excited. At this moment, even if Lanling led them to crash into the city gate, even if charging towards a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, they would not furrow their brows in the slightest.
And Constantine the Second and Yang Gu watched Lanling as if watching an idiot, watching him charge towards the incomparably sturdy city gate.
The leading Lanling grew closer and closer to the city gate.
Thirty metres, twenty metres, ten metres, five metres…
About to crash into it any moment now.
Duo Duo and Duo Long almost closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the scene of Lanling’s bones breaking and being sent flying.
And just at this moment, Lanling abruptly let out a fierce roar.
“Aoo…”
Another hurricane-like dragon cry and tiger roar.
Within the city gate tunnel, it sounded especially loud.
Then, a world-shocking, bone-chilling scene appeared.
A massive force swept out.
After Lanling’s single roar, those two incomparably sturdy city gates abruptly collapsed with a thunderous crash.
“Bang…”
A loud sound.
The two city gates weighing tens of thousands of jin abruptly fell, crashing onto the ground.
Whether it was Gou Li, or Duo Duo, Duo Long, or Constantine the Second behind, or Yang Gu and the others.
They completely could not believe their eyes.
Was their vision blurred, or was this world too mad?
This… this was completely a divine miracle!
Was this the power of heaven?
Was this the power of ancient gods and demons?
This city gate, even with a force of over a hundred thousand jin, could not be toppled.
Yet Lanling toppled this incomparably sturdy city gate with merely a single roar.
Instantly, the Chimera Tribe soldiers’ gazes towards Lanling were filled with terror and dread.
This, this was too astonishing, too terrifying.
And the foreign army brothers also went completely mad, as if they had witnessed a divine miracle.
No, this was a divine miracle.
With merely a single roar, Lanling toppled a city gate that over a hundred thousand jin could not topple.
“Long live, long live, long live…”
Over a thousand foreign army members roared madly.
Just like this, Lanling led the over a thousand foreign army members, like floodwaters, charging out of the city gate, charging out of the Chimera Tribe.
Success!
He had succeeded. He had successfully led the foreign army brothers in rebellion and self-establishment.
He had successfully led over a thousand people in breaking out of the Chimera Tribe.
Now, no one could block his rise.
Coming to the barbaric world, three months had already passed. He had finally accomplished his first great matter, possessing a force that truly belonged to himself.
After the over a thousand foreign army members charged out of the city gate, it was as if a dragon had entered the sea, obtaining true freedom.
“Long live, long live, long live…”
Over a thousand foreign army members waved the weapons in their hands, roaring in wild celebration.
Lanling roared loudly: “Brothers, now no one can block our footsteps.”
“Long live, long live…”
So, did Lanling create a divine miracle, toppling the incomparably sturdy city gate with a single roar?
Of course not. Upon closer inspection of the iron hooks, iron bolts, and iron pillars on the city gate, one would discover that they were all covered with traces of corrosion.
The blood of the Corrosion Demon Giant Snake was enough to corrode all metal.
This was of course another handiwork provided by the second wife Sisi.
But no one saw all of this. So this became Lanling’s divine miracle.
This divine miracle would definitely spread throughout the dozens and hundreds of surrounding tribes.
…
After charging several hundred metres out of the city gate, Lanling turned his horse around, gazing towards the Chimera Tribe’s city walls.
At this moment, the sun had already risen.
At this moment, Constantine the Second hurriedly climbed onto the city wall to gaze into the distance.
His heart trembled, his body ice-cold.
Finished, finished…
Lanling had actually successfully led the over a thousand foreign army members out of the tribe. Now his crime was great.
At this moment, all the warhorses within the tribe had been seized by Lanling. Relying solely on two legs, they definitely could not catch up.
And Father’s main army was far away, over two hundred li distant. At this moment, they were probably engaged in fierce battle with Alfonso.
Now, there was simply no one who could stop Lanling, no one who could catch up to Lanling.
“Lanling, release my mother.” Constantine the Second roared loudly.
Lanling laughed loudly and said: “You are so filial. Why don’t you come and exchange? You become my hostage, and I will release your mother back?”
Constantine the Second abruptly twitched. Although he was somewhat filial towards his mother, he still did not want to give his life for it.
“You don’t dare, hahaha…” Lanling laughed loudly: “However, rest assured, I will definitely release them. But before that, I will definitely give her an impression she will never forget in her lifetime. When she trampled me with her horse, when she whipped me, I swore to publicly humiliate her. I am a man of my word. When your father wanted to kill me, when he had iron hooks pierce through my collarbones, I swore in my heart that I would definitely have sex with his wife. I am a man of my word.”
Hearing these words, the chieftainess Gou Li’s hairs stood on end, struggling desperately, because the most terrifying thing was about to happen.
Then, something that made everyone’s blood boil and made Constantine the Second’s eye sockets split open happened.
The cloth strip on Gou Li’s mouth was untied. She was about to curse loudly when she suddenly felt a chill throughout her body.
Lanling actually, beneath the gaze of thousands, abruptly tore off her clothes, publicly humiliating her before a crowd of ten thousand.
The chieftainess’s mature body was instantly exposed before everyone.
The people of the Chimera Tribe could hardly believe their eyes.
The soldiers of the Chimera Tribe, while stimulated, felt incomparable humiliation.
“Lanling, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces…” Constantine the Second was mad with rage, roaring madly, desperately pounding the hard city wall.
Lanling laughed loudly and said: “Please pass on a message to your chieftain Constantine. I have cuckolded him! And I have done it in front of everyone!”
At this moment, Duo Long could not help but say: “Elder brother, this is a madman, a thorough and complete madman.”
That’s right, after returning from the dead, Lanling was fundamentally a madman deep inside.
When facing Di Na, Suo Mo, and the others, bound by familial affection, he could still exercise some restraint.
But once he began to indulge, his entire body was filled with an aura of evil and destruction.
“Lanling, I will kill you, I will kill you…” Constantine the Second roared madly.
Lanling pushed Gou Li off his horse’s back, and said: “Go back. Go back and tell your husband that I am much more formidable than him.”
Then, Lanling said loudly towards Constantine the Second: “People of the Chimera Tribe, listen well. For a long time, you have not treated us as human beings, trampling upon us at will, oppressing us at will. Whether in hunting or in battle, we foreign army members have established the most achievements. Yet we could only live in caves, eating the worst food, being bullied by you at will. Even a despicable person like Gou Fu dared to spit on my uncle’s face. Constantine the Second, this bastard, actually wanted to snatch my woman? I repeatedly established meritorious achievements, yet Constantine repeatedly wanted to kill me, to humiliate me. Remember this. For the crimes you have committed against us foreign army members, I will repay them tenfold, a hundredfold!”
“Today, I have killed one thousand of you. I have publicly humiliated your chieftain’s wife. But this is merely the beginning! One day, I will definitely lead thousands upon thousands of troops and horses, charging into your tribe to carry out an even greater massacre. I will snatch away everything you have. We will snatch away your women. I will kill twenty thousand of you, thirty thousand of you, until finally you kneel before me, trembling and begging for mercy!”
“I will come again. When I come again, your death day will arrive!”
Lanling’s words resounded throughout the entire night sky. Almost every single person heard them clearly.
Almost every person of the Chimera Tribe trembled in their hearts. No one dared to treat this as empty threats.
Constantine the Second trembled all over, only able to desperately roar: “Lanling, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces, ten thousand pieces…”
Lanling abruptly bent his bow and nocked his arrows, nineteen rapid-fire arrows!
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”
Nineteen arrows, like lightning, traced an arc, shooting towards Constantine the Second.
Instantly, he felt the Grim Reaper descend.
Waving the great sword in his hand, he desperately parried.
“Dang dang dang dang…”
Sparks flew in all directions.
Constantine the Second’s martial arts were indeed much higher than Lanling’s. His speed was incomparably fast, blocking all the arrows.
However, in the next instant…
“Puchi…” Constantine the Second felt his vision go dark. He struck out like lightning to grab it.
But it was too late.
An arrow abruptly pierced into his right eye.
