"Tortoise grandson, you’re about to die, and you still want to harm ." The leader cursed softly.
Almost all the followers from the mountain stronghold perished in the sea of fire; only he escaped death.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, the leader staggered away, disappearing into the vast darkness in an instant...
Outside the city gates had beco a sea of fire.
The horse bandits were all engulfed in flas, screaming incessantly, rolling on the ground, but it was to no avail.
Soon, the screams gradually weakened, leaving only a sea of fire below.
Faintly, there was the sll of roasted at.
However, even slling this aroma, everyone felt extrely nauseous because they knew in their hearts that this was not at that could be eaten casually; this was human flesh.
The county magistrate stood above, watching clearly; his heart was filled with joy. The War Prince’s move was too ruthless, a dozen barrels of Fire and Water Oil managed to wipe out the horse bandits entirely, truly satisfying.
Watching as the flas gradually weakened and the screams faded away.
The county magistrate only then opened the city gate to check and began counting the corpses. Since those corpses were burned into charred remains, blackened beyond recognition.
He did not know if the leader’s corpse was among them, but considering the situation, the chances were slim.
With the horse bandits eliminated, the common people cheered loudly; having lived in fear for so many years, today was their most triumphant day, even the sight of many charred corpses did not frighten them.
So bold individuals even stepped forward to help the Governnt Soldiers carry the bodies.
After clearing the corpses outside the city gates, the sky gradually brightened.
Everyone was still very excited, with no hint of sleepiness.
Long Rui and Xuexue were also very joyful, so they invited everyone to The First Tower Under Heaven to have breakfast, allowing them to eat their fill; all expenses covered by Long Rui.
The townspeople were naturally unrestrained in their joy and ford groups heading towards The First Tower Under Heaven.
This scene scared the shopkeeper of The First Tower Under Heaven half to death, confused about what was happening.
Why did the townspeople all rush toward his tavern like starving wolves? He silently wondered in his heart if he’d offended anyone or incurred debt recently.
Thinking it over, it seed he had not.
The shopkeeper stopped them in their tracks and asked, "Hey hey hey! Why are you all coming to my tavern?"
Everyone answered in unison: "To eat breakfast!"
The goods at The First Tower are quite expensive, usually, common people don’t dare to enter, but today, it’s free; they only hope that soone from The First Tower Under Heaven would co.
The county magistrate knew there were still horse bandits in the Eagle Beak Cliff stronghold and decided to act decisively, eliminating them all to avoid future trouble.
Long Rui also expressed agreent with the county magistrate’s approach, since the battle was already halfway won, they should eliminate them completely to prevent them from regaining strength, otherwise, when they grow stronger again, the people of Hu’s Bay will suffer once more.
Upon hearing this, Xuexue said: "We have just fought a battle, everyone is tired, let’s rest for a day and attack the mountain stronghold tomorrow!"
Everyone expressed agreent, to rest and conserve energy for an imdiate victory.
After returning to the inn, Xuexue rested for the morning, got up at noon to eat, and then started getting busy; everyone did not know what she was busy with.
"Miss, what exactly are you busy with? Tell the maid, the maid can help you."
"No need, you should take a break."
"Oh, I’ve slept the whole day, how could I still sleep." Zi Xia expressed that she was not sleepy, very curious about what the Miss was doing.
