MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1450 - 45: Arrogance
The Qi Country Lord soon called in the messenger and spoke solemnly: "Immediately send a message to General Qi Zuo and tell him that I order him in this battle against Da Qin to only win, not lose. He must demonstrate the style of our Da Qi. Though we withdrew from the Celestial Realm early, it does not mean Da Qi is weak. On the contrary, this battle is the day for our Da Qi to regain our reputation. We must show the people of the other Six Kingdoms what kind of powerful dynasty Da Qi truly is!"
The messenger swiftly noted the words of the Da Qi King and then quickly departed after his wave, heading to the main area where the forces of Da Qi were stationed.
In no time, General Qi Zuo had heard the report from the messenger and then solemnly nodded: "Return and report to Your Majesty, I pledge my life that in this battle, we will surely defeat Da Qin!"
After speaking, General Qi Zuo came before the military formation, raised his Bone Battle Saber high, and loud voice directed at the countless soldiers whose eyes were fixed upon him: "Soldiers, according to the scouts’ reports, our enemy is about to arrive. This impending enemy, after our Da Qi perished due to natural disaster, stole our state governance, established Qin Country, and unified the Heavenly Continent, becoming the sole overlord, the sole empire of this Heavenly Continent. But their actions are merely picking the teeth of others. Our Da Qi was the earliest established dynasty on this Heavenly Continent. If not for the Xiu Ge disaster, burying millions of our Da Qi kin, what business would Qin Country have with unifying the Heavenly Continent in those days? Now that you and I are given life again, the greatness once buried by Da Qi should also make others aware again, showing this Da Qin our Da Qi people’s might, letting them see that Da Qin’s might will be nothing before our Da Qi. The chance to unify the Six Kingdoms that Da Qi once missed, heavens have now given us another opportunity. Soldiers, tell me, what should Da Qi do?!"
"Unify the Six Kingdoms, glorify our Da Qi’s might!"
Qi Zuo’s Deputy General was the first to speak, and then all the countless soldiers followed in shouting loudly.
"Unify the Six Kingdoms, glorify our Da Qi’s might!"
"Unify the Six Kingdoms, glorify our Da Qi’s might!"
The roar shook the firmament, truly astonishing hearts.
And this penetrating sound also crossed a thousand miles, reaching the ears of the Da Qin Dragon Banner Army.
Leading at the forefront of the Dragon Banner Army, Zuo Sha Heng immediately laughed aloud: "Hahaha, hahahaha, such a tiny Qi Kingdom, utterly ridiculous, and yet they attempt to once again exhibit the might of Da Qin’s unification of the Six Kingdoms? Brothers of the Dragon Banner Army, do you agree?!"
As Zuo Sha Heng’s inquiry rang out, the Dragon Banner Army remained silent.
Seeing this situation, Zuo Sha Heng’s heart skipped a beat and cursed inwardly.
There’s no help for it, the Dragon Banner Army originally has three commanders, and now with one of them, Zuo Sha Overlord, nowhere to be found, and the other two commanders disappeared, even though the Dragon Banner temporarily lacks all three commanders, the Dragon Banner Army is not like other miscellaneous units and pays no heed to airborne leaders.
Thus, facing the silence of the Dragon Banner Army, Zuo Sha Heng felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart.
But the next second, the Dragon Banner Army simultaneously let out a low roar: "Kill!"
A low roar, filled with killing intent, permeated the entirety of the marching army.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Sha Heng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed rampantly: "Alright, alright, let’s kill them all, letting them know who is the true overlord of the Celestial Realm!"
Although no one in the Dragon Banner Army voluntarily responded, each member of the Dragon Banner Army tacitly sped up again, racing towards the position of the Da Qi army.
It did not take two more hours for the Dragon Banner Army to close to within a hundred miles of the Da Qi army.
"Stop..." Zuo Sha Heng was just about to issue the command to stop, rest a bit, and recover to peak condition. But there was no need for him to say more; the Dragon Banner Army sat down uniformly, beginning to rest with their eyes closed.
Zuo Sha Heng pouted, alright, this bunch of killing experts, all corrupted by the three commanders of Zuo Sha Overlord. Truly, this Dragon Banner Army is extraordinarily proud!
And at the moment the Dragon Banner Army sat down to rest, Da Qi’s scouts had already relayed the news back.
"Reporting to the Great General, Qin Country’s Dragon Banner Army has reached within a hundred miles of our army, but it seems they are not in a hurry to launch an attack against us."
Hearing this, Qi Zuo remained silent, for Da Qi’s 800,000-strong army had long been prepared for battle, awaiting his single command to be invincible.
However, Qi Zuo evidently had no intention of launching a strong attack; he was waiting for reports from other scouts.
Before long, another scout hurried back: "Reporting to the Great General, Qin Country’s Dragon Banner Army is resting, adjusting their state."
In response, Qi Zuo remained silent.
After some time, the last scout knelt on one knee and spoke: "Reporting to the Great General, according to detailed investigation by a few members of my squad, Qin Country’s Dragon Banner Army has dispatched 50,000."
Upon hearing this, Qi Zuo’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance: "50,000?!"
This number stirred great anger in Qi Zuo’s heart.
He immediately walked to the forefront of the military formation once again and addressed the Da Qi soldiers: "Soldiers, this time Da Qi has dispatched 800,000 troops, while Qin Country has sent only 50,000 to attack us. Just 50,000 dare to raid our 800,000-strong army, this is Qin Country insulting us! Qin Country despises our Da Qi—what do you say should be done!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
This time, without the Deputy General leading, all of Da Qi’s soldiers began to roar of their own accord, and their anger climbed to an extreme.
50,000 against 800,000 is a great insult to Da Qi, making it clear they look down on their 800,000 troops.
However, such a matter was only considered insulting by Da Qi.
After receiving scout reports, Wei Country’s King couldn’t help but sigh: "The 50,000 Dragon Banner Army, it seems that Da Qin intends to bite Da Qi’s 800,000 troops to death."
Hearing this, Zhao Country’s King nodded: "Old Wei, for the Dragon Banner Army to dispatch 50,000 in one go shows how seriously Zuo Sha views this battle. In this case, we must not let Zuo Sha succeed. Although the Dragon Banner is elite, after slaughtering Da Qi’s 800,000 troops, they will surely fall into exhaustion. At that time, our Five Countries Alliance Army will strike, besiege the Dragon Banner Army. Wipe out these 50,000 Dragon Banner soldiers, and it is equivalent to stripping Da Qin of a claw."
Hearing this, Yan Country’s King nodded in agreement: "In this case, we should dispatch troops quickly. If we are late, I fear Dragon Banner might have finished off Da Qi’s troops and left by then."
"Indeed, indeed, dispatch troops quickly, summon the messenger to issue the command for dispatch!" King of Chu urgently shouted, and the messenger responded, then quickly departed.
Meanwhile, the enraged Da Qi army launched an assault towards where the Dragon Banner Army was resting.
Though a hundred miles still lay between the two armies, for giant Titans, it’s no different than a ten-thousand-meter sprint, is it not?
The sound of Titans running and pounding the earth was like drums, roaring and earth-splitting.
The Dragon Banner Army immediately sensed the disturbance but showed no intention of opening their eyes.
While the Dragon Banner Army was not in haste, Zuo Sha Heng was anxious, leaping three feet high to observe the distant horizon.
On that far-off horizon, Zuo Sha Heng saw a torrent rushing in his direction and immediately cried towards the Dragon Banner Army behind him: "It’s no good, the Qi Country army is attacking, get up and prepare for battle!"
Unfortunately, Zuo Sha Heng’s words still elicited no response from the Dragon Banner Army.
Each of them remained calm and continued resting with their eyes closed.
Now, Zuo Sha Heng could not care anymore, the Dragon Banner Army’s repeated disregard truly infuriated Zuo Sha Heng to the core.
Without a word, Zuo Sha Heng stepped forward and grabbed the resting Dragon Rider Deputy General, pulling him up: "The enemy is about to reach our gates, and you still find time to rest here?! I promised His Majesty this battle would be victorious, you, being the finest elite of Da Qin, is this how you prepare for battle?!"
Seeing that Zuo Sha Heng had already lifted him, it was evidently impossible for this Dragon Rider Deputy General to feign unawareness any longer. He opened his eyes, gazed indifferently at Zuo Sha Heng, and said: "The enemy is still distant, at least another half a cup of tea’s time before they can reach three miles from our location. There is no need for urgency, Heavenly General."
"Damn it..." Zuo Sha Heng choked up at this statement but released the Dragon Banner Deputy General, then coldly said: "If this is so, arrange yourselves as you see fit, but I hope you do not betray the trust His Majesty has placed in you. Should I witness any of you failing in your duties, perhaps I shall slay you all as well."
