The soldiers of the Dan Kingdom were already resentful about surrendering without a fight. Now, upon hearing what the Duke of Dingguo said, it was as if a raging fire had reignited in their eyes, and they all became impassioned.
"Kill them all!"
"Your Grace, the swords and arrows are merciless. Leave the following matters to this humble general. Your Grace only needs to command the battle from the side."
"Very well. General Lin, as long as you capture this Stone City, your future will surely be bright."
"Yes, Your Grace!"
...
"Brother Tingyan, what's going on? Is the Dan Kingdom going to go back on its word?"
Feng Yunshu watched the aggressive and high - spirited Dan army on the opposite side. Her heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, something had gone wrong.
Helan Yanting narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the changes below and slowly nodded. "This battle is inevitable."
After saying that, Helan Yanting turned to General Shi. "General Shi, immediately order all the soldiers to prepare for battle. Line up the stone - throwing carts. Later, follow our original battle plan and divide into left and right wings..."
Feng Yunshu saw that everyone's nerves tightened instantly, and the originally peaceful atmosphere also became tense. At this moment, the killing aura on the battlefield rose and spread again.
After Helan Yanting finished discussing with General Shi and others, he turned to Feng Yunshu. "Yunshu, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the battlefield in person later. I'm worried I won't be able to take care of you. How about you take them back to the camp and wait?"
Feng Yunshu shook her head. "I won't go back. Don't worry. I don't need you to worry about me here. You just need to do your own thing. I'll take care of my own safety and won't be a burden to you."
"I never thought you were a burden. I'm just worried about your safety."
Helan Yanting patted Feng Yunshu on the shoulder. "Since that's the case, then you can stay by my side. Don't run around randomly."
Feng Yunshu nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Sure enough, not long after, General Shi, He Changying and others all went down to the battlefield. The war between the two sides broke out. There were continuous battles on the battlefield, and the war cries were deafening.
Helan Yanting also put on his armor and was ready to go on the field. This was the first time Feng Yunshu had seen him wearing armor and a cloak.
He seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. He no longer had his elegant and handsome aura. He was tall and straight, with firm eyebrows and eyes, like a god of war who could support the sky, exuding a cold and majestic air.
Seeing him leap up and skillfully mount his horse, Feng Yunshu was stunned.
Why did it seem that Helan Yanting was very familiar with riding a horse to the battlefield? The action of mounting the horse just now was so natural that it was completely unlike someone who was on the battlefield for the first time.
Could it be that the prince was also a general or a soldier in his previous life?
Just as Feng Yunshu was wondering, she heard Helan Yanting's voice. "Yunshu, stay inside the city wall and don't go out. Wait for me to return in triumph."
Feng Yunshu looked at him and nodded seriously. "Okay, you can go. Don't worry about my safety."
Helan Yanting turned around and quickly rushed into the battlefield. Wherever his horse went, it was as if the other - shore flowers of the underworld were in bloom, paving a bloody path.
Feng Yunshu saw the scenes of battles in front of her. To be honest, she couldn't accept such a shocking and bloody scene. Although she knew that this was the battlefield and death was an inevitable thing on the battlefield.
Although the Yuan soldiers clearly had the upper hand, there were still casualties.
Feng Yunshu saw many soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground in the crowd. It seemed that not long ago at the bonfire party, she had seen that person chatting and laughing with other soldiers, singing the folk songs of their hometown to each other...
No, if the war was inevitable, then she must also end this war as soon as possible with the least number of casualties.
Thinking of this, Feng Yunshu looked around and ran to a relatively remote and uninhabited place.
After arriving at this place, with the cover of the city wall in front of her, she directly used her spiritual power to temporarily hide her figure.
"Master, master, are we going to do something?"
Xiaoling saw her master's actions and quickly asked.
Feng Yunshu nodded. "Xiaoling, you also quickly hide your figure and come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"As the saying goes, capture the ringleader first. It was that Duke of Dingguo who suddenly appeared and disrupted our plan. It was also him who advocated for the war. In that case, we just need to capture him and threaten him to surrender immediately. In this way, we can end the war as soon as possible."
Xiaoling nodded after listening. "Yes, master is right! Then let's act quickly!"
Feng Yunshu nodded. After the master and servant hid their figures, they found a path that could bypass the battlefield and quickly rushed towards the Dan Kingdom's camp.
At this time, the Duke of Dingguo was standing on the city wall of the Dan Kingdom, observing the situation below.
He saw that there was suddenly a tall man wearing a mask and armor on the battlefield. This man was riding a tall horse and holding a spear. He wielded the spear powerfully. With just a few moves, he was like a scythe, constantly reaping lives.
"Who is that masked man?" The Duke of Dingguo stared at Helan Yanting. He always felt that this person looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
The deputy general beside him also looked at Helan Yanting and then explained. "That person is the military advisor in the Yuan army's camp. This person is very strange. He suddenly appeared in the Yuan army's camp and is highly valued by the Yuan general. Moreover, this person's strategic ability is very outstanding. Since he came, we haven't won a single battle."
"Really?"
The Duke of Dingguo frowned suspiciously and thoughtfully stroked his chin. "This person reminds this duke of someone. But that person died in the Dan Kingdom's dungeon a long time ago. And that person was always in poor health and could never be so heroic..."
When Feng Yunshu found the location of the Duke of Dingguo, she happened to hear what he said.
Feng Yunshu thought that the Duke of Dingguo had a sharp eye. He had quickly noticed something wrong with the prince's identity.
However, this was not the key point she needed to focus on at the moment. Feng Yunshu slowly approached this person and was about to quietly use magic to control him. However, at this moment -
The Duke of Dingguo, who had seemed unaware before, suddenly turned around and looked at Feng Yunshu. Moreover, he quickly took out a rope from his bosom and whipped it directly at Feng Yunshu.
Feng Yunshu never expected that he could see her. At the moment he made his move, her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously dodged quickly, but she was still touched by the rope in his hand.
This rope, for some reason, was like glue and instantly stuck to Feng Yunshu. It was like a poisonous snake that quickly bound Feng Yunshu up.
"Master!"
Xiaoling was shocked when she saw this. She quickly rushed up and tried to pat the rope away with her spiritual - power - filled claws. However, the rope didn't move at all, and a strong barrier popped out and directly bounced Xiaoling away.
Xiaoling's whole body flew out and fell heavily to the ground. Because of the leakage of her spiritual power, her body could no longer be invisible. Her body was exposed to everyone's sight. The Duke of Dingguo glanced at Xiaoling and immediately signaled the people beside him to capture Xiaoling.
As for Feng Yunshu, she quickly realized that the rope that bound her was not ordinary. It was the legendary Immortal - Binding Rope!
When she was practicing in the past, she had read ancient books and heard from her fellow practitioners about this thing. The Immortal - Binding Rope was made of dragon tendons. Any demon, monster or immortal would find it very difficult to break the built - in barrier of this rope and would be trapped by it.
How could the Duke of Dingguo have such a high - level magical artifact?!
