A devastating blow!
A fatal blow!
Constantine collapsed immediately, vomiting blood and falling unconscious!
From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such a blow.
His son was shot blind in one eye, his wife was publicly violated. Several thousand tribal people were killed, nearly two thousand horses were seized, and Lanling led the foreign army to flee.
Every single one of these was unacceptable to Constantine.
Yet now, all this terrible news flooded in, as if it would instantly burst his brain.
“Lanling, I will tear you to pieces, tear you to pieces…”
Before collapsing, Constantine let out an incomparably grief-stricken, incomparably furious roar.
After he collapsed, countless people immediately surged forward.
“Chieftain, Chieftain…”
“Father, Father…”
Ninian rushed forward quickly, picking Constantine up. She truly did not know what had happened?
Was it because of the inexplicable war with Alfonso, losing two to three thousand people, that caused her father to vomit blood?
Very quickly, the Chimera Tribe’s witch doctor ran in, rubbing and pushing on Constantine’s chest, then lit a bundle of herbal incense, smoking Constantine’s nostrils.
A moment later, Constantine opened his eyes.
At this moment, boundless pain, boundless humiliation, boundless anger and hatred surged into his heart, causing Constantine’s mind to spin once again, nearly making him faint.
Too painful, too unbearable, it would be better to faint.
“Father, what happened?” Ninian asked anxiously.
“Get out, all of you get out.” Constantine waved his hand.
Instantly, everyone retreated completely, leaving only Ninian and Constantine.
…
“Father, what exactly happened?” Ninian said: “In this battle, Alfonso also lost two to three thousand people. You shouldn’t be so upset that you vomit blood!”
“Lanling has rebelled.” Constantine said.
“What?” After hearing this, Ninian was stunned for a good while, unable to believe it.
Lanling rebelled? How was that possible?
Constantine said: “He led more than a thousand foreign soldiers, allied with Duo Duo and others from the Mustang Tribe, seized the two thousand war horses we left in the tribe, killed his way out of the tribe, and fled.”
Ninian’s delicate body trembled, also somewhat swaying unsteadily.
“This is the most sinister, most cunning venomous snake. He has been acting with us all along.” Constantine hissed: “What about him madly loving you? Fake! What about him simply not wanting to live? Fake! What about him being willing to pay one hundred thousand gold coins to save Ali? Fake! Everything he did had only one purpose, to lead the foreign army to rebel and establish himself.”
“His one hundred thousand gold coins were fundamentally to lure the snake out of its hole, making us move our main forces away from the tribe, causing the tribe’s defences to be empty, making it convenient for him to rebel.” Constantine said: “No wonder every step we took, Alfonso’s side knew clearly. It caused both sides to continuously reinforce troops, from several hundred to ten thousand, and finally we inexplicably fought a battle, losing two to three thousand people.”
Listening to Constantine’s sinister words, Ninian swayed unsteadily.
She truly could not accept this result. Everything Lanling said to her was fake.
Lanling had always treated her as a fool, not only using her, but sleeping with her again and again.
In this world, there was no greater humiliation than this.
Ninian, who had been beautiful and proud from childhood to adulthood, had never suffered such a terrible blow.
She had been slept with for nothing, and used again and again.
All along, only she had toyed with men, but this time she was toyed with by Lanling, from body to soul, played with and trampled upon.
Constantine hissed: “What deep scheming, step by step, every step calculated me to death. For the sake of coveting these one hundred thousand gold coins, I lost more than six thousand people, my wife was publicly slept with by someone, my son was shot blind in the eye, and in the end I almost didn’t get a single gold coin, hahaha…”
Hearing the last part, Ninian’s face changed drastically, her voice trembling: “What… what do you mean?”
Constantine gritted his teeth, saying word by word: “Lanling killed two to three thousand of our tribal people, several hundred soldiers. Shot your brother’s eye blind, and… and… violently violated your mother, and publicly humiliated her!”
These final words caused Ninian’s vision to go black. With a soft cry, she directly collapsed unconscious.
Terrible news, earth-shattering terrible news!
Especially the last one, it was a fatal blow to her, causing Ninian to no longer be able to endure.
Lanling had actually also defiled her mother.
To her heart, to her spirit, it was almost a devastating blow.
Constantine laughed almost madly.
Then, another mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Truly losing one’s wife and losing one’s soldiers.
“Lanling, I will tear you to pieces, tear you to pieces…” Constantine roared desperately.
And at this moment, Ninian was unconscious on the ground, with only blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, making her snow-white face especially seductive.
The pain and hatred in her heart were in no way inferior to her father Constantine’s.
Only now did Constantine discover his daughter had collapsed. He immediately hurried to help her up, pressing her philtrum with his fingernail.
Ninian faintly woke up. Her originally beautiful, charming pupils were now filled with blood-red colour.
“Father, go kill Suo Mo, go kill Suo Mo…” These were Ninian’s first words upon waking.
Constantine seemed to suddenly awaken, saying: “Yes, go kill Suo Mo, go kill Suo Mo…”
Then, Ninian ran out like a madwoman.
She was going to call people, to gather all the tribe’s experts. No matter what price had to be paid, she would kill Suo Mo, so as to vent the hatred in her heart.
At this moment, no words could describe the hatred and venom in her heart.
She wanted revenge. She wanted to carry out crazy revenge against Lanling, the most vicious revenge.
Suo Mo was Lanling’s only relative. This revenge would start with killing Suo Mo!
Constantine took a deep breath, swallowed a blood qi medicinal pill, then picked up his greatsword.
He would personally kill Suo Mo.
He had not made a move for almost ten years. Now he should let everyone see that within several hundred li, there was only one top expert, and that was him, Constantine.
Carrying the greatsword, he walked out of the tent step by step.
He would behead Suo Mo, tear Suo Mo to pieces.
…
However…
When Constantine walked out of the tent, he saw a scene that made his eyes want to split.
Suo Mo’s tall figure stood on the small hillside. The gorgeous Ninian was in his hands, with Suo Mo’s greatsword pressed against her neck.
“Chieftain, I should have left without a trace, not giving you any chance to surround and kill me.” Suo Mo said in a loud voice: “But I feel that before I leave, I should bid you farewell once. After all, I have been loyal to you for nearly twenty years.”
His voice was extremely loud, allowing all the Chimera Tribe and even Ankara Tribe soldiers to hear clearly.
Instantly, more than ten thousand pairs of eyes fixed on Suo Mo.
“I could have also taken your daughter hostage.” Suo Mo said in a loud voice: “But, I have always disdained doing such things.”
“Go back.” Then, he withdrew his greatsword and pushed Ninian’s back.
Ninian fell in an embarrassed heap, then got up and ran quickly toward Constantine.
“That’s right, I knew clearly about Lanling leading the foreign army to rebel.” Suo Mo said: “When Golu pushed him into the magma to seize his daughter, he wanted to rebel. When I was publicly spat upon by Goufu and trampled and humiliated by the Chimera Tribe’s people in order to get back Lanling’s daughter, when you, Constantine, extorted him to exchange a griffin beast for his daughter, Lanling had already decided to rebel.”
Hearing this, Constantine’s face twitched.
Indeed, almost as soon as Lanling entered the tribe, he had decided to rebel.
Suo Mo said: “But I did not agree. I firmly rejected his idea and reprimanded him. I felt one should not betray the chieftain, nor should one lead the foreign army into a dead end.”
Everyone was silent, looking up to listen to Suo Mo’s words.
Suo Mo said: “Constantine, I know you have always been trying to win over my adopted son Du Yan, attempting to make him replace me. I have always known this, but I completely did not care.”
“If Du Yan had been competent himself, I would have long given him the position of foreign army’s great chief. This position is fundamentally not any kind of power, but a heavy burden of a thousand jun, a responsibility that makes me unable to catch my breath.”
“But you don’t know, the reason I strive to maintain the foreign army’s independence and dignity is because only this way can this group survive. If Du Yan were allowed to lead the foreign army, he would throw fairness and justice completely away. The foreign army would instantly split. A portion of people, for the sake of power, would desperately curry favour with the tribe’s upper levels, betraying their comrades to gain status, becoming your loyal running dogs, just like Golu. And the vast majority would only be reduced to the Chimera Tribe’s slaves, completely losing combat ability. And as a group and organisation, the foreign army would vanish into smoke.”
“Yet you, Constantine, do not understand this point, only thinking of grasping all power in your hands, wishing you could personally command every foreign army soldier.” Suo Mo said with grief and indignation: “Was it necessary? In the past dozen or so years, was I not loyal enough? Did I ever disobey any of your orders?”
“Back to the main point!” Suo Mo said: “These years, how have you treated the foreign army? Every battle, our weapons were the worst, yet the military merits we established were the most. Every hunt, we died the most, yet the beasts we killed were the most. Yet our daily rations were only one third of the Chimera Tribe’s people. The meat we received was only one fifth. We can’t even eat our fill, day after day, year after year selling our lives for you, yet we are still treated by you as slaves, worse than pigs and dogs. Living in damp, cold caves, spat upon by each and every one of you.”
“Even so, I never thought of rebelling.” Suo Mo said: “But… Lanling is my biological nephew, almost my only blood relative in this world. Just because he was too outstanding in the great battle with the Mustang Tribe, establishing heaven-shaking military merits. Just because he cultivated for one month and then defeated Du Yan. Just because he is a supreme genius, you wanted to kill him, you wanted to cause his death.”
“Constantine, I never thought of rebelling, but you left me no choice, because you wanted to kill my relative.” Suo Mo suddenly roared: “Even if you kill me, I would not rebel. But you kill my relative, that is not acceptable.”
“I am a useless person, so upright as to be almost pedantic, bound too much by rules and regulations. Yet Lanling is different. He is a genius, a madman-like genius. He is not as useless as me.” Suo Mo stared at Constantine and sneered: “If he didn’t rebel, he would be on a dead end. Since it’s like this… then rebel!”
“Constantine, I don’t know what Lanling did to you? Perhaps he slaughtered your people, perhaps he violated your wife?” Suo Mo said coldly: “But here I will not apologise for him, because from the moment I agreed to his rebellion, he became my leader.”
“Constantine, your situation today is entirely your own fault, the evil consequence of your narrow-mindedness, jealousy of the capable, and secret viciousness.”
“You want to kill me? Sorry, impossible, at this distance impossible…”
“Goodbye, my chieftain. We shall meet again. I believe before long, we will meet again.”
Then, Suo Mo turned and left.
“Chase him, kill him, kill him…” Ninian shouted desperately.
Constantine did not move at all. If Suo Mo had been unprepared, and he led a dozen or so experts to instantly surround and kill him, there might still have been a chance of success.
But Suo Mo was already prepared, and was far beyond a hundred metres away. Then it was fundamentally impossible to kill him.
Even if Suo Mo’s martial arts had only recovered eighty to ninety percent at this moment, such a top expert, at a distance of one hundred metres, wanting to kill him? A fool’s dream.
Just like at this distance, anyone wanting to kill him, Constantine, would also be a fool’s dream.
Unexpectedly, Suo Mo turned back again, his gaze falling on Du Yan.
He took out a dagger and cut off a corner of his clothing.
“Du Yan, from today onward you and I have no more connection. Take care of yourself.” Suo Mo said: “I will not kill you, but Lanling will execute you by lingchi.”
Then, Suo Mo formally disappeared without a trace.
Du Yan stood frozen in place, his whole body trembling, ice-cold all over!
He even lost his reaction to his uncle Suo Mo’s words.
After hearing the news of Lanling’s rebellion, he was completely stunned.
Then hearing that Lanling had actually succeeded in rebelling, and had violated the chieftain’s wife, shot blind Constantine the Second, and killed several thousand Chimera Tribe people.
Du Yan was even more like being struck by lightning, completely unable to believe his own ears.
All along, he had looked down on Lanling, hated Lanling, feeling that he had stolen his position.
Moreover, he didn’t feel Lanling was anything special.
Even if Lanling had established heaven-shaking military merits on the battlefield, even if Lanling had defeated him in a duel.
Du Yan still didn’t feel Lanling was anything special. He still looked down on Lanling.
In the barbaric world, martial force is supreme. Du Yan felt Lanling’s martial arts were far inferior to his, so Du Yan looked down on him.
Even if he lost in the duel, Du Yan still felt it was because he had underestimated the enemy and been careless. His martial arts were still much stronger than Lanling’s.
As for breaking through eleven levels in one month, Du Yan fundamentally did not believe it. He felt Lanling had been hiding his strength all along, deliberately creating a stunning effect.
Moreover, what he looked down on most was Lanling’s crazy appearance, completely unsuitable to be a leader.
The reason he could compete with him for the position of foreign army’s great chief was not because he was uncle Suo Mo’s biological nephew?
Yet now…
Du Yan suddenly felt that he and Lanling were worlds apart.
He suddenly realised that in Lanling’s eyes, there was simply no such person as Du Yan.
Leading the foreign army to rebel; slaughtering the Chimera Tribe; scheming to make Constantine run around in circles, shooting blind the young chieftain!
Especially forcefully violating the chieftain’s wife, putting a green hat on Constantine.
These things, Du Yan wouldn’t even dare to think of, yet Lanling had done them.
Too… too f*cking astonishing!
He, Du Yan, every day only wanted to please the chieftain, pursue Ninian, relying on flattery and sycophancy, even betraying the foreign army to desperately climb upward.
And Lanling’s choice was…
F*ck Constantine’s wife and daughter, slaughter your Chimera Tribe’s people, then slap slap slap on your Constantine’s face.
So at this moment, no words could describe the shock in Du Yan’s heart.
Truly, truly f*cking awesome!
