“What’s going on?””
All the people were gradually noticing it. There was a massive cloud of dust. Besides, that sound was really the sound of galloping horses, how loud, it made their hearts tremble.
Some red silhouettes gradually appeared in their field of vision. They were all wearing red armor. The horses were red as well. They all emitted a strong Qi as they rushed through the air. They were galloping towards Yangzhou City at full speed and a cloud of dust was rising around them, looking like a hurricane.
“Boom boom boom……”
Even though the guards at the top of the city gate had a position which enabled them to see into the distance, what was moving towards them seemed like a boundless dust cloud. Their hearts were pounding like crazy.
An army. Surprisingly, it was an army. That was a terrifying and well trained army of veterans.
It was the first time that the city guards saw such a strong Qi. Such a huge army in a perfect formation was also something breathtaking. They had the impression that their hearts were beating in their throats.
The guards weren’t the only ones, the population was also panicking while the army was moving nearer and nearer.
Surprisingly, they were armored-horses, it was a huge army of armored-horses. Most people had never seen such a huge army of armored-horses, it seemed like the ground would cave in under their hoofs.
The ground was violently shaking, everybody was absolutely dumbstruck. Why would such an army come to Yangzhou City?
“Quickly, quickly, close the gate!” shouted some guards on top of the gate in panic.
“Shut the hell up, we have to keep it open, if somebody closes the gate, I’ll kill him!” shouted the leader of the guards. He was furious at those bastards who wanted to die. With such an army of armored-horses, if the gate was closed, a single attack would be enough to destroy it. Besides, if they made the army angry, such an army could massacre the entire city.
Amongst the guards on the city gate, none of them had the courage to fight. They were scared to death and their faces deathly pale. None of them had ever seen such a huge army in perfect formation.
That sort of army was only seen on a battlefield but not in a small town like Yangzhou City.
“Quickly, go and tell the head of the city, hurry up!” shouted one of the guards. Obviously, they didn’t know what to do. All they could think about was telling Na Lan Xiong.
“Roger.” said a few guards when they heard the order and then immediately left. After all, who wanted to stay there? If the army attacked, they would all die.
After that, when the vast army arrived near the Yangzhou City gate, they slowed down. They stopped before the gate of the city and didn’t enter it.
Even though the army was just calmly waiting there, they were still releasing extremely strong Qi. It enveloped the gate of Yangzhou City as well as the crowd on and around it. Everyone within the city felt like they were being suffocated by the intense Qi.
How monstrous. The red armor, red horses, the image was shocking almost like a psychological attack. It was too much for the crowd.
They had never thought that someday, such an army would appear in Yangzhou City.
At that moment, amongst the army, a silhouette emerged and raised their head, looked at the people on top of the gate and said: “Listen, from now on, Yangzhou City is the fief of the Chi Xie Marquis. Everything in Yangzhou City now belongs to the officer of the Chi Xie army. Now, bring the head of the city to come and greet him.”
