Chapter 441: Chapter 43: Investigation Results and Surprises (6K)_2

"Are you two alright?" Liao Rulong asked, looking at the severed limbs on the ground and couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Damn, how many were cut down?

"We’re fine, thank you for your concern, Duwei," Zhao Xing replied. "Those are all enemy corpses."

Liao Rulong asked in a grave voice, "Are there any survivors?"

Zhao Xing glanced at Liao Rulong, no wonder the Divine Might Army had risen to power, with a rhythm of having all tough members.

Lao Liao’s second question was whether there were any survivors.

If there were, they needed to be dealt with quickly.

"None, the enemy troops have been completely wiped out," Zhao Xing replied. "The treasures from the Supply City that were seized are all aboard this ship."

"Activate the record on the Dragon Bone Warship and summon the Divine Statue from the Marching Hall to preside," Pu Zhong ordered, "keep the battlefield as it is."

Pu Zhong began to prepare for the aftermath; as a strategist, he knew well that the death of a Sixth-Rank General was no trivial matter.

Now they had to try to manage the situation in a way that would put them in the right.

Fifteen minutes later.

The Black Dragon Army called out to Liao Rulong again.

Their attitude had also become more aggressive.

Because it was not Zheng Liu who was shouting, but his superior, Captain Yangwei ’Xie Kui Guang’, of the official Sixth Rank.

"The Divine Might Army has quite the nerve, daring to ambush and kill our Sixth-Rank General?"

"Enforcement team, bring the criminals and the evidence back for trial!"

Xie Kui Guang’s voice spread across the sky as the warship targeted the position where Zhao Xing and Long Xiao were.

"I’d like to see who dares!" Liao Rulong leaped into the sky, while thousands also drew their swords, fiercely blocking the small team dispatched by Xie Kui Guang.

"Liao Rulong!" Xie Kui Guang shouted; he had learned Liao Rulong’s name early on from Zheng Liu, and even knew Zhao Xing and Long Xiao’s names. "Are you going to shelter criminals?"

"Nonsense, who do you think you are? Daring to pass judgment on my Divine Might Army!" Liao Rulong was even more explosive in temper.

"This area has turned into a temporary combat zone for the Divine Might Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops still on their way. Try touching me!"

"Ambushing a Sixth-Rank General, does your Divine Might Army want to rebel?!" Xie Kui Guang roared angrily.

"Assaulting a friendly army’s combat zone, are you trying to commit treason!" Liao Rulong countered sharply.

The swords were drawn, and the conflict was at a breaking point.

Both sides readied their crossbow cannons on the warships, and formidable blood-tinged battle formations coalesced in the sky.

It must be said that after fighting the Wolf God Tribe and taking the Fire Dragon Pass, Liao Rulong’s unit from the Divine Might Army had a presence that was no less than the Black Dragon Army’s.

For a moment, Xie Kui Guang truly dared not attack.

Liao Rulong felt the same way.

The two were evenly matched for the moment, engaging in a war of words only.

Should a real fight break out, neither side could withstand the consequences.

But Xie Kui Guang also couldn’t let Liao Rulong and his men leave.

Because Qian Shougang and a thousand Black Dragon Guards had died right before his eyes, how could he let them go so easily?

"Aroo~"

A dragon roar, clear and resonant, came from afar. It was the forces of Xia Jing and Li Que arriving.

Xie Kui Guang saw that Liao Rulong really did have reinforcements behind him and suddenly felt the situation was tricky.

Moreover, why were the Xuanjia Army and the Zhenhai Army here too?

Xie Kui Guang knew that Qian Shougang had been bullying the Divine Might Army, but he truly hadn’t expected it to draw such a large response.

"The wings of the Divine Might Army are indeed hard..." Xie Kui Guang realized it was likely impossible to capture Zhao Xing and the group, including Long Xiao.

It was also unlikely to take away Qian Shougang’s warship.

If he could have taken Qian Shougang’s warship, Zhao Xing, Long Xiao, and the Brave Camp away first, it would have been advantageous for his Black Dragon Army.

Now, things were not so clear.

"Xie Kui Guang." Xia Jing arrived between the two armies on a Flying Boat. "What’s happening? Why are you attacking friendly forces?"

"Princely Heir." Faced with Xia Jing, Xie Kui Guang softened his tone a bit. He might disregard Liao Rulong and Yang An behind him, but he had to treat Xia Jing’s father, Xiahou, and Prince Liang as esteemed guests.

After all, Xiahou was known as the strongest Fourth Grade Primordial Soul Warrior, who had once slain a Third Grade Primordial Soul Demon Path.

"One of our Sixth-Rank Generals and a thousand Black Dragon Guards died here, suspected to have been killed by the Divine Might Army," Xie Kui Guang said. "We must bring them back for trial..."

"That doesn’t look like a trial to me," Xia Jing interrupted. "If the Divine Might Army had fewer men, would you have already attacked?"

Xie Kui Guang fell silent; it was indeed what he had thought.

"Xie Kui Guang, you are officially of the Sixth Rank, and so is Duwei Liao; there is no difference between you in rank, you have no right to command another army’s officer," Xia Jing said indifferently. "As for what actually happened, let’s ask the Military Realm’s supervisory body to intervene."

Xie Kui Guang darkened in expression, but he also knew he couldn’t handle this matter and had to report it.

On Liao Rulong’s side, they were also reporting to Jia Pu and Yang An.

The issue had blown up, but with the highest authority on the battlefield being Sixth Rank, such disputes had to be handed over to the higher-ups.

....

In Xier County, Divine Might Army’s Main General’s Mansion.

"What, he killed a Sixth-Rank from the Black Dragon Army?" Jia Pu stood up abruptly. "What exactly happened?"

Pu Zhong and Liao Rulong stood in the Marching Hall, and at that moment, their projections also appeared in the Divine Might Army’s Main General’s Mansion, reporting every detail of the event to Jia Pu.

The story remained the same: Supply City number ninety-eight was attacked, the City Lord Wang Ji was seriously injured, many Deputy Generals were wounded, and the precious Earth Fire Lotus was stolen.

Zhao Xing and Long Xiao led the Brave Camp to the rescue, catching up with the enemy force posing as the Black Dragon Army, slaughtering all of them.

Unexpectedly, they were actually Black Dragon Guards.

Liao Rulong declared fervently, "General, Zhao Xing and Long Xiao can’t be blamed for this. If they were from the Great Zhou forces, why would they attack Supply City number ninety-eight and steal the Fifth Order Earth Fire Lotus we had finally obtained? Who could have guessed this!"
