Capítulo 2100: Chapter 2099: Entering Chang’an on Horseback
The people on the field were all dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how two Divine Swords from the sa origin could differ so greatly in quality.
To be clear, these two swords were matched under equal strength, and Long Fei hadn’t used any sword techniques.
Earlier, when the Female Sword grew larger, everyone thought that the Male Sword was undoubtedly dood to fail.
Yet who would have expected, the Male Sword remained as fierce as ever, slicing the Female Sword cleanly in two.
The artifact refiners on the field all said, “It’s no surprise; the magical weapons refined with Samadhi True Fire can be purified to the greatest extent, tempering out impurities. The fewer the impurities, the greater the tenacity. It makes sense for the Female Sword to lose.”
“I concede, I truly concede. Sect Leader Long’s mastery of Dao is impeccable, unmatched in this world, truly a person of grand destiny!”
“Does the Southern Army still need people? I understand the art of refining and would like to apprentice under Sect Leader Long.”
“Stop dreaming; with your skills, do you think Sect Leader Long would even look at you?”
Everyone burst into laughter, their admiration for Long Fei knew no bounds.
Whether an artifact refiner, alchemist, talisman script master, or formation technique master, they all now acknowledged Long Fei as their leader.
After all, the ancestors of the major sects, the most eminent figures in their respective fields, had all been defeated by Long Fei without exception.
The Dragon-Tiger Mountain Ancestor sighed, tossed the broken sword in his hand, and handed one to Long Fei, saying, “This sword embryo is rare, but it is wasted in my hands. Giving it to you is a fitting tribute to the fortune of this Divine Iron.”
He clasped his fists in respect to Long Fei, his face full of lancholy as he left.
The setting sun cast an orange glow, lighting up the city walls below.
Long Fei stood bathed in the red light, resembling a War God.
The soldiers on the city walls had entirely lost their will to resist; facing Long Fei alone felt like confronting the Five Sacred Mountains.
Long Fei called out to the Yaoji Saintess, “Saintess, the ti has co to stop harming the world’s people. The Human Race must unite and strengthen to resist the Demon Race together. Your policy of appeasent and the elite policy proved to be failures in the Ancient Era, they are untenable. If we continue to fight, it will only bring quick suffering to the Humans. You have lost this contest of the Great Dao.”
Yaoji sat on the wall, gazing at the slanting sun, saying nothing.
Lei Zongcheng, fiery-tempered, clasped his fists toward the Saintess and shouted, “Saintess, let go and et him!”
Yaoji Saintess shook her head and sighed, “Enough, the general trend is over, and we can’t resist the will of the people any longer. This world is destined to be ruled by the strong. This child’s montum is unstoppable; without the complete release of the Heaven and Earth Laws, none of us can do anything against him.”
“Let’s hope the path he takes is the right one!”
Feng Qinghong sighed deeply, secretly hoping Long Fei would win.
In the Ancient Era, they lost too much, too tragically, and lost their will to fight the Demon Race, pinning their hopes on the last stronghold.
In the stronghold, they nurtured a child of destiny capable of resisting the Demon Race.
This child of destiny would eventually lead the Human Race to victory.
Until the last mont, this child of destiny would not erge.
He was born with the destiny of the Fla Emperor Palace, personally nurtured by the Palace Master of the Fla Emperor Palace and taught by the Elders.
Endless treasures and resources were bestowed upon him from an early age.
While others struggle for a single magical treasure or cultivation resource, he lacked nothing and grew up surrounded by them.
By the ti he erged, could Long Fei still hold on outside?
Throughout the night, there was no movent on the city walls.
Early the next morning, the army was deliberating in the military tent about breaking through by water.
Unexpectedly, an excited soldier rushed in with a report that all the gates of Chang’an City had opened, and the drawbridges had been lowered.
The general responsible for defending the city, Han Muchun, had sent a letter of surrender, deciding to submit to Ji Wanrong.
The generals in the military tent shouted excitedly, imdiately issuing orders to organize the army and enter the city.
Ji Wanrong ordered that the predetermined military orders be distributed to each army and departnt.
No one was allowed to violate these military orders after entering the city.
They had to ensure no harm ca to the city’s residents, maintain disciplined appearances so the people could witness the splendor of the Southern Army.
The soldiers imdiately went to prepare, as Ji Wanrong and Long Fei led the advance on horseback into the city.
Mounted warhorses clattered over the drawbridge, their hooves clapping resonantly on the thousand-ter long bridge.
Chu Feng and others followed, each straightening their backs, exuding high spirits.
Wang Xun and Ji Xiaolian felt deeply moved, never imagining they would one day enter Chang’an City.
Wang Xun had once been the commander of the City Defense Camp but nearly faced execution due to a treacherous minister’s sches.
Now, turning back, he had beco a commander of the Southern Army, entering Chang’an City as a victor.
Such are the ups and downs of life.
Ji Xiaolian and the Five Tiger Generals behind him felt utterly satisfied, their hearts surging with indescribable excitent.
A man’s journey in life is none other than to achieve military success and build a career.
They were little more than sea rogues originally, but following Ji Wanrong, they had reached this very place, the Chang’an City they once only dread of reaching.
These twists and turns of life are beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
The gates of Chang’an City were all portals of transportation.
Though they seed like ordinary doors, they actually functioned through teleportation formations.
The portals and teleportation formations inside had been seized by the Southern Army. When Ji Wanrong and Long Fei arrived, they saw that within the massive Weng City, the Northern Army soldiers defending the city were kneeling en masse.
A general held the letter of surrender in both hands, shouting to Ji Wanrong, “Commander of Chang’an City’s defenses, Commander Han Muchun, leads the four cities and thirty-six gates’ defenders to surrender to the Commandery Princess, begging the Commandery Princess to forgive our sins!”
“We plead for rcy from the Commandery Princess!”
The one hundred thousand soldiers in this Weng City knelt and spoke simultaneously.
In the other thirty-five Weng Cities, there were each another hundred thousand soldiers.
Just the forces defending Chang’an City totaled three to four million.
Ji Wanrong dismounted with a group of generals, personally receiving the letter of surrender from Han Muchun, saying, “Your surrender is ritorious. I, the Commandery Princess, will not only not punish you but will also reward you heavily in the future.”
Han Muchun and the surrounding generals were overjoyed at hearing this, clasping their fists and declaring, “We are willing to serve the Commandery Princess loyally.”
Ji Wanrong nodded, smiling and asked him, “Are you the eldest son of the Elder General Han Fang?”
Han Muchun clasped his fists and replied, “Indeed, I am.”
Ji Wanrong said, “The Han Family’s loyalty and valor are renowned. I have always admired General Han Fang greatly. Do you know where your father is now? Is he well?”
Han Muchun replied, “Thank you, Commandery Princess, for your concern. After the defeat at the Huai River line, my father has been staying at ho, in good health.”
Ji Wanrong said, “That’s good to hear. Tell General Han that with the country newly settled, every region must rebuild. He is highly esteed in the Northern Army, and the new dynasty shall need his contributions.”
“Your servant understands and thanks the Commandery Princess on behalf of my father. I will relay your ssage to him.”
Han Muchun, hardly able to contain himself in his excitent, knew he had gambled right on this surrender.
With the new dynasty’s formation, the Han Family would still have a place.
Ji Wanrong mounted her horse, raising a hand toward Han Muchun and the soldiers, “Everyone, rise! This battle was not a fight to the death; it was a struggle for destiny at higher levels, unrelated to you.
Wait here for reorganization. I, Ji Wanrong, assure you that your personal safety is guaranteed.
Those who wish to continue serving in the army may do so, and those who wish to return ho can take our severance pay and leave. We will not harm a single one of you.”
“Long live the Commandery Princess!”
“Long live the Commandery Princess!”
“Long live the Commandery Princess!”
“…”
With Ji Wanrong’s words, the surrendered soldiers felt an overwhelming sense of relief and stood up, cheering excitedly.
