Chapter 198 - 198:Ergreife die Macht
"Shut up."
Duan Tianlang shouted sternly at Lin Feng and said coldly: "You talk so much and spout nonsense all the time. Lin Feng, don't think you are the princess's bodyguard and can do whatever you want. In the army, there are the iron rules of the army."
"Shut up, Duan Tianlang! I, Lin Feng, have only come to assist in defending the city of Jianli. I never said I would join your army. This time, I'm staying here because I was entrusted by the Second Prince to guard the princess. You have no right to order me around. I'm not your subordinate!"
Lin Feng also roared in a stern tone, with a sneer on his lips. Having already reached Dianli City, could it be that he was still afraid of Duan Tianlao?
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Duan Tianlang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of icy coldness flashed in his gaze. In his view, even though Lin Feng was in his army now, as a princess's guard, he was not under his control. He could do whatever he wanted. Duan Tianlang never expected that Lin Feng would dare to refute him. What an arrogant fellow!
At this moment, the gazes of the crowd also became slightly fixed. They stared at Lin Feng blankly. This guy is really quite audacious. Even in the military, he dares to contradict the commander-in-chief.
"Uncle Wang, what Lin Feng just said is not without merit. The soldiers on the city wall saw that we outnumbered them and were still strictly observing military discipline. This shows that General Xianjian is good at leading troops. How could it be said that there is any intention to rebel? Uncle Wang's words just now were not quite appropriate."
At this moment, Duan Xinye beside him spoke out, and towards Lin Feng, he managed to draw another round of stares from the surrounding crowd.
Under the armor of Duan Tianlang, his eyes were slightly cold. He said calmly, "Your Highness, don't even talk about whether my words just now were appropriate or not. Just based on Lin Feng's outrageous remarks just now, I'm going to punish him."
"Blame it on me? What crime of mine are you accusing me of?"
Lin Feng sneered. At this moment, Lin Feng also realized that Duan Tianlao and the Second Prince Duan Wuyi did not seem to belong to the same camp. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to attack him Lin Feng so soon. You know, before their expedition, the Second Prince had deliberately instructed that only Duan Xin Ye could be targeted.
"Refusal to comply with the order, a crime of rebellion and treason."
Duan Tianlang said coldly.
"Rebellious and Disloyal?" Lin Feng stared at Duan Tianlao: "Then how do you plan to deal with me?"
"Considering the princess's dignity, I won't pursue the death penalty. But for the live crime, I'm afraid it's hard to escape punishment. I'll bind you up and detain you. Then I'll present this to Your Majesty and ask for Your Majesty's decision on your punishment."
"Laughable."
Lin Feng gave a cold reply and then said to Duan Xinye, "Princess, it's not that I, Lin Feng, don't want to protect you. It's just that Duan Tianlao can't tolerate me. Farewell, Lin Feng."
Speak up, Lin Feng! He spurred his horse forward and led the way with his steed and his fine horse-drawn carriage. Facing the crowd, he shouted out loudly, "Those who are willing to follow me, come out!"
"I'll see who dares to step out."
Duan Tianlang gave a cold smile. This guy, he's got quite the nerve. Could it be that he wants to court death?
Before Duan Tianlang's words had finished, many people immediately spurred their horses forward. Mengqing, Liu Fei, Wen Aoxue, Yuan Shan, Duan Feng, and others, along with the Black Demon who led thirty-two people wearing bronze masks, all stepped forward. The huge formation made Duan Tianlang's eyes momentarily lose their focus. He had no idea when Lin Feng had so many companions.
"Princess, it's not that I Lin Feng don't want to protect you. It's just that Duan Tianlang is obsessed with personal vendettas and simply can't tolerate me. Take care."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Long Ju's horse galloped out at full speed, heading straight towards the city gate with astonishing speed.
The others also followed Lin Feng closely, causing the people behind them to narrow their eyes slightly and look at him with admiration. He was truly a man of great courage.
"Arrow!"
Duan Tianlang gave a cold, indifferent shout. A murderous aura pervaded the air. In an instant, the foot soldiers in front stepped forward two paces, the long arrows on their backs were instantly removed, and they bent over, drawing their bows.
Lin Feng and others all felt their spirits tense up. A slight chill radiated from their bodies. The horse still moved forward, but it had already prepared for battle.
"Stop it all!"
Just at that moment, a fierce shout rang out. The owner of that shout was none other than Duan Xinye, who was usually so gentle and kind.

"Your Highness, this is an order from the military. They disobeyed the military order. They deserve to be punished."
Duan Tianlang said coldly, staring at Duan Xin Ye, "This sentence, 'When away from home, one may disregard the imperial edicts,' has been vividly interpreted."
As soon as he entered the battlefield, Duan Tianlang had already cast aside the words of the Second Prince Duan Wuyi and was determined to kill Lin Feng and others.
"King of the Wolves, you are very bold and resolute." The crowd murmured in awe. However, Li Yantian and others couldn't help but smile faintly on their faces. What they dared not do, King of the Wolves was willing to do for them.
"Command from the military?" The beautiful face of Duan Xin Ye bore a hint of chill. She never expected that Duan Tian Luan would be so audacious.
"Today, whoever shoots this arrow will be killed on the spot by me, Duan Xinye. See if the Sky Wolf King dares to help you and save me."
A cold hissing sound came out of Duan Xinye's mouth, causing the soldiers in front to shudder in their hearts and feel extremely perplexed.
Yes, if Duan Xin Ye were to kill them on the spot, even if they were capable of fighting, they wouldn't dare to do so. Once they were to hurt Duan Xin Ye, I believe the Sky Wolf King would not hesitate to kill them without a second thought.
Duan Xin Ye, unlike He Lin Feng, was truly a princess in appearance. Her status was noble and high. Even if the Sky Wolf King was as bold as he wanted to be, he couldn't dare to cause her any harm.
Duan Tianlang's gaze also slightly narrowed. He never expected that Duan Xin Ye would do such a thing for Lin Feng.
During this brief period of time, Lin Feng and his companions had already ridden far away and instantly reached the outskirts of Dianlie City. At this moment, even arrow attacks would not cause much harm to Lin Feng and his group.
"I'm Lin Feng. Please, my brother, open the city gate for me."
Lin Feng shouted to the soldiers above the city gate. Those soldiers recognized Lin Feng's appearance and all of them gave a faint smile. They said loudly, "It's Lin Feng, the young master. Open the city gate."
"Master Lin Feng, how is my lady doing?" A soldier on the city gate shouted. But at that moment, Liu Fei beside Lin Feng took off her helmet and revealed her beautiful face.
"Miss, you're back."
Those people excitedly said, and at that moment, a rumbling sound came from afar. Lin Feng and others galloped forward, and in no time at all, they had entered the city gate.
This scene made the soldiers stationed at the distance look at each other in confusion. Their lord's army was approaching, carrying the imperial orders and with the personal presence of the Sky Wolf King, yet the city gate remained closed.
However, just a moment after Lin Feng had left, a single word from him was enough to make the soldiers on the city wall open the city gate.
"General, they are so presumptuous. Why don't we just march straight to the city gate?"
Behind the Sky Wolf King, someone suggested, "Among them, there are many powerful individuals at the level of Spirit Martial Realm. The city gate is not very high. Just a few leaps can get you across. But generally speaking, they wouldn't do that. Forcing their way onto the city gate implies an intention to attack, and then both sides would engage in a fierce battle, with no way out for either side."
The King of Tianlang turned around and gave a cold glance at the person who was speaking. His gaze was sharp.
"I have come here to join forces with General Xiang of the Divine Arrows to resist the invaders. How could I deliberately stir up disputes and ask for my dismissal?"
"Yes, General." When that man heard the cold command of Duan Tianlao, his body trembled slightly and he lowered his head to retreat. He was filled with anger but dared not speak out. How could King Tianlao be like someone who comes to join forces to fight against the enemy? Of course, he dared not say this out loud in front of others. He could only say it in his heart.
"Order the entire army to halt and rest."
The King of Tianlang said indifferently, "Alright." Then, the messenger delivered the King's words to the troops. Immediately, the soldiers became restless and a little angry in their hearts.
Damn it! They came to assist Liu Canglan in fighting against the enemy, but were blocked outside the city gate and had to rest in the dust. This made their favorable impression of the "Great Archer" Liu Canglan fade a lot. They couldn't understand why the Sky Wolf King had to endure and swallow his anger.
At this moment, Lin Feng and others stepped into the city gate. At first glance, they saw that the order in the city of Dianlie was perfectly in place and not in the least disordered. Meanwhile, Liu Canglan's figure appeared before them, walking over with a smile.
"Lin Feng and Feifei, you two have arrived."
"Mr. Liu." Lin Feng called out. However, his eyes were filled with uncertainty and he occasionally glanced towards the distance.
"Xiao Feng, you are observing why my City of Broken Blades remains so peaceful? You are still puzzled as to why I am not at the city gate, nor allowing them to enter the city?"
Liu Canglan seemed to have instantly grasped Lin Feng's thoughts and said to him.
"Please, Uncle Liu, give us your advice." Lin Feng did not deny it.
A faint smile appeared on his lips. Liu Canglan said, "Xiao Feng, they must have told you that Dianliang City is under attack by Mo Yue and urgently needs reinforcements. So they organized soldiers to come and assist, right?"
"Isn't it so!" Lin Feng heard Liu Canglan's words and his pupils contracted for a moment. It seemed that he suddenly realized something.
And Liu Canglan's face wore a more intense grimace, with a touch of coldness as well.
"Danli City is very quiet. There has never been any crisis there. They didn't come to assist but to seize power. The royal family couldn't help but want to attack me."
