Chapter 1284: 568: The great battle begins! Magnificent massacre!

There are still four hours until dawn.

Apart from the little girl, no one else in the Flame Demon Tribe is asleep.

The fervent construction has also come to a halt, and all in the tribe, regardless of age or gender, have gathered on the city walls.

The elite warriors stood in front, with the elderly and weak behind them.

All had their eyes closed to rest, yet their hands continued to grip their weapons.

Now everyone knew that in another four hours, the energy shield would dissipate and the great battle would begin.

Everyone across tens of thousands of square kilometers, especially countless exiles and members of the Near-Human Tribe who had lost their homes, awaited this battle with their eyes fixed on the Flame Demon Tribe.

If they won this battle, the Flame Demon Tribe would enter a period of rapid expansion, soaring to new heights.

Lanling was not on the city walls; he was eating.

"You won’t win," the Chieftain’s wife, Gou Li, said quietly. "Though you’re a madman, a genius, and could kill thousands single-handedly, you still won’t win."

She had already consumed some kind of neural poison, leaving her with barely enough strength to walk or raise her hand.

Oddly enough, after being captured by the Flame Demon Tribe, her health seemed to have somewhat improved.

Lanling took sizable bites of mutton and sipped the fruit wine, remaining silent and bowing his head.

"Don’t expect to use me as a hostage; Konstantin won’t withdraw his troops for my sake," Gou Li sneered. "After you defiled me, he acted as if he cherished me in front of others, but privately, he hasn’t said a word to me or even looked at me."

Lanling said, "He resents you for not killing yourself, for not upholding his honor with your death."

"Why should I die?" Gou Li retorted fiercely. "You men can’t protect your own women and yet expect them to commit suicide? In the Barbaric Wilderness, no woman has ever died for the sake of reputation."

Lanling shrugged his shoulders.

Then Gou Li said, "Release me, and after you lose the battle, I’ll ensure the survival of your woman and daughter."

Her expression was very serious.

Dina was at the side pouring wine for Lanling, completely indifferent to Gou Li’s words.

After eating and drinking to his fill, there were still two hours left until dawn.

"Aren’t you going to sleep?" Lanling asked Dina.

"I can’t sleep," Dina replied.

"I’ll go take care of the little girl and Ali, be careful, my husband," Dina said as she donned brand new clothes.

She didn’t even know why she was wearing new clothes, just feeling that today was a significant day.

"Alright!" Lanling replied.

Dina kissed Lanling on the cheek and said, "Be careful, my husband, I... I am with child now!"

Lanling’s body trembled, and joy surged in his eyes. Really? He was joking about making a baby just now.

Suddenly, he remembered his other children, especially the children in Fu Yan’er and Gui Qinshao’s wombs.

"My husband, blessed people have their own fate, the baby’s brothers and sisters will definitely be fine," Dina said softly.

Lanling felt a warmth in his heart.

If a woman loves a man deeply, she can almost understand his thoughts through his expressions or glances.

Like Nai’er in the past, and Dina now.

Though Dina was not as beautiful as Nai’er, she had a heart utterly devoted to Lanling.

But Lanling didn’t love her as much; this made him feel a pang of guilt once more.

His heart, his love, seemed to have been taken away by Zhi Yan’s sword.

Lanling held her soft body tightly, kissing her scent, trying hard to recover his lost affection.

And Dina, at that moment, felt incredibly happy.

She knew fully well that Lanling didn’t love him much, perhaps not at all, or maybe in the Barbaric Wilderness, there was no woman he truly loved.

Otherwise, Lanling wouldn’t sleep with Ali, Nini’an, or Gou Li right before her eyes.

Especially Nini’an and Gou Li, who were tossed aside after being with him.

Even Ali, if not for necessity, he wouldn’t have rescued her.

But Dina still loved him deeply, even more so, trying her best to soothe his inner wounds with her tenderness and affection.

At least, this man cared about her.

In this battle, she wouldn’t fight; just like last time, she’d stay by the little girl’s side to protect her.

...

Dina went to protect the little girl and Ali.

Gou Li’s hands were bound, and she was led by Lanling towards the city walls.

"This woman isn’t worthy of you," Gou Li suddenly said.

Lanling laughed, "And are you worthy?"

Gou Li said, "What do you intend to do by taking me up the city wall? Humiliate me in front of Konstantin?"

"I hope it won’t come to that!" Lanling replied.

"You beast, you’ll die a miserable death!" Gou Li cursed angeredly.

Lanling said, "I’m bringing you up the wall just to let you see with your own eyes how I defeat your husband."

"Dream on, keep on with your delusions!" Gou Li turned her head and spat directly in Lanling’s face.

...

"Chieftain, Chieftain..."

Seeing Lanling approaching, the soldiers of the Flame Demon Tribe all stood up and saluted him.

Seeing him leading Lady Gou Li, they couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

Though they hated Gou Li, seeing Lanling take her up the wall still evoked a strange feeling.

Lanling said, "Brothers, you all know the woman I’m holding, her name is Gou Li, the legal wife of Konstantin. She once participated in humiliating and trampling over you along with the others.

Suddenly, Gou Li truly felt ashamed to death.
