Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: Raising the Flag and Suppressing Bandits

A red light swept across the city wall.

Sima Yuan shouted angrily, "You little thief, surrender your life!"

His Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level suddenly erupted, and wielding his Golden Coiling Dragon Spear, he fiercely lunged at Long Fei.

As he approached, he feigned a strike, intending to thrust at Princess Ji Wanrong.

He knew Long Fei was formidable, and he had no intention of killing him.

The spear carried a dragon silhouette, its murderous aura overwhelming.

Long Fei merely raised his hand and waved it, causing Sima Yuan to suddenly halt in midair, as if time had frozen, fixed in the void.

The spearhead was only a meter away from Ji Wanrong.

Ji Wanrong remained calm and collected, unafraid of him at all.

With Long Fei around, she feared nothing now.

Sima Yuan roared explosively, trying to escape the spatial quagmire, but his body couldn’t move an inch.

He let out an angry howl, "Ji Wanrong, you ruthless woman! You killed my son, destroyed our Vanguard Army; you won’t die a good death. Even if I become a ghost, I’ll drag you to the Underworld."

Ji Wanrong retorted lightly, "Sima Yuan, all of this is your own doing. If you had no selfish desires, how could it come to this? The Vanguard Army is not your private force; it’s the army of the Great Xia Country. Because of you, such great losses were caused to the Great Xia Army, and you still dare to cry injustice to me?"

She instructed Long Fei to bind Sima Yuan, planning to use him as a sacrificial flag in tomorrow’s battle against Snake Island.

This day, everyone inside the city was utterly terrified, having never seen a war like this.

Monsters flew in the sky, swam in the river, and even the Collaborative Defense Army on land looked bizarrely equipped.

In the Governor’s Mansion, Yi Zhongcheng was anxiously waiting for news.

The steward rushed in with people, exclaiming, "Master, something terrible has happened. The Vanguard Army is defeated, wiped out entirely, not a single person left!"

"What?"

Yi Zhongcheng felt a heat in his throat, as if wanting to spit blood, and sank back into his chair, lifelessly muttering, "How could this happen?"

The steward urged, "Master, don’t worry about so much now, just hurry and escape! Now that the Vanguard Army is wiped out, the other Great Xia forces will surely turn to the Prefecture Princess Mansion. We’re left without support, just fish on their chopping board!"

Yi Zhongcheng swallowed hard, agreeing hastily, "Right, right, makes sense, let’s leave at once."

He instructed the steward to have the family members pack their valuables and leave this cursed place quickly.

Soon, the door of the Governor’s Mansion was kicked open with a bang.

Wang Xun led a battalion inside, shouting, "Yi Zhongcheng, you old thief, you colluded with the Sima Family in rebellion, and now you must come with me for investigation immediately, surrender at once. Anyone daring to resist will be executed without mercy."

Inside, Yi Zhongcheng, packing up his things, was shocked and panicky, instructing the steward to have the Mansion Soldiers hold them off for a moment.

He was a civil official, having gained his position through ancestral favors, only reaching just above the Enlightenment Realm.

The Mansion Soldiers were long scared out of their wits, not at all inclined to deal with this issue.

Even the Great Xia Army of a hundred thousand wasn’t able to stand up, let alone their mere thousand men.

They were either scaling walls to escape or kneeling to beg for mercy.

Yi Zhongcheng was captured by Wang Xun’s men, shouting and yelling, "I am an official of the Imperial Court, a second-grade officer; without the court’s decree, how dare you seize me?"

The soldiers ignored him, a rifle butt hitting down, making his head buzz and his body go limp as he was dragged away.

Their family members were temporarily imprisoned in the mansion’s narrow quarters, wailing and awaiting their fate.

The clouds above Southern Capital City dispersed.

Sunlight bathed the area, returning everything to its usual calm.

Overnight, the Collaborative Defense Army boarded the ships smoothly at the Liuu Family Port.

General Wuu Youren and Former General Wei Guoliang knelt all night at the Prefecture Princess Mansion’s gate, fervently swearing loyalty to the Commandery Princess.

Ji Wanrong assured them to station themselves safely on location, without implicating them.

Now, the task of exterminating the bandits was significant, and she had no time to address these generals holding military power yet.

When morning came, the bell tower tolled.

One by one, the citizens nervously stepped outside their doors.

People spread the news quickly, that the Prefecture Princess Mansion was heading to Snake Island to eliminate bandits and would execute traitorous generals as a sacrifice flag.

A crowd rushed to the docks to watch, gathering more and more people at the original shipping yard, held back a hundred meters away by City Defense Camp soldiers.

The shiny steel warships docked at the pier, the Collaborative Defense Army all ready for action standing on deck.

This expedition against Snake Island would be commanded by Long Fei.

Ji Wanrong and Wang Xun remained in the city to oversee matters.

The whistle of the steamship sounded, resonating through the entire city.

Ji Wanrong spoke softly, "Bring up the traitors."

A group of soldiers promptly escorted the people, including Wuzhou Governor Yi Zhongcheng and Vanguard Army commander Sima Yuan.

Alongside were more than a dozen generals, all captured back by the Collaborative Defense Army.

Sima Yuan’s son, Sima Yan, had escaped and was still missing.

Yi Zhongcheng was tightly restrained by soldiers, his face streaked with dirt as he yelled, "Princess, you cannot kill me. I am an official of the Imperial Court. Killing me amounts to defying the court, it’s treason, it’s rebellion!"

Sima Yuan, beaten and covered in blood, his mouth gagged with a rope, made muffled noises with red eyes.

The other generals begged on their knees for mercy, pleading with Ji Wanrong to spare their lives.

Ji Wanrong ordered the Great Xia Country’s Water Dragon Flag to be raised, and softly declared to everyone before her, "Yesterday, the traitor Sima Yuan, in collusion with Governor Yi Zhongcheng, conspired rebellion and led the Great Xia Army’s Vanguard Army to attack Southern Capital City. With bandits at the forefront, instead of serving the court, they raised a mutiny, an unforgivable sin. Now that all suspects have been captured, today this Commandery Princess will use their blood to consecrate the soldiers departing to eliminate the bandits!"

She cast a stern gaze at Yi Zhongcheng and Sima Yuan, and waved her right hand down.

The executioner retrieved the execution token from behind them, raising the large sword in hand high.

In the sunlight, the blade gleamed with a chilling light, and with a slash, it came down.

In an instant, blood sprayed three meters high, staining the white Water Dragon Flag red.

More than a dozen heads rolled to the ground, leaving the present citizens thoroughly shocked.

These people were usually the high-ranking Governor and Generals.

When they acted recklessly in Wuzhou City, no one dared to stop them.

Now, these people were beheaded by the Princess.

At first, everyone was stunned, but then they rallied and cheered, "Long live the Princess!"

"Long live the Princess!"

"Long live the Princess!"

"..."

The cries were thunderous, everyone looking at Ji Wanrong with admiration.

Initially, people thought this bandit extermination mission was doomed to fail, yet no one anticipated the Princess would create such a tremendous uproar.

A hundred thousand strong Vanguard Army was wiped out just like that.

Suddenly, the citizens’ confidence in Ji Wanrong skyrocketed.

Amid their cheers, the warships set sail, heading towards Snake Island.

The armor shone with Mysterious Light, resembling moving mountains.

On Snake Island, secret reports reached the chief Ji Xiaolian’s hands.

Startled, he stood up abruptly, exclaiming in disbelief, "How could this be? Sima Yuan’s hundred thousand troops, were they all pigs? Completely wiped out by the Collaborative Defense Army in a day?"
