301: Chapter 301 Standing on Invincible Ground 301: Chapter 301 Standing on Invincible Ground “Yan Shun holds the power of life and death over Brother Sikong, even over the 99th Army…”

“However, if the matter is blown up so that the whole Long Night Black Burning Army knows about it, there will be someone to suppress Yan Shun, since the Vice Commander is not only Yan Shun, there is also the Commander of the Long Night Black Burning Army above him.”

Having said this, Sui Yu stopped talking and did not persuade the hundreds of captives to surrender anymore.

He only knew that the real drama had just begun, and Brother Sikong was going to make a name for himself in this battle!

…

On the other hand, Lan Zhuanghe, hearing the crazy chasing sound behind him, bellowed in rage, “Hurry, hurry, we must return to the castle immediately.”

He was already terrified and certainly did not know that there were only three thousand cavalry behind him pursuing.

Suddenly, figures appeared in the mountain forest in front of Lan Zhuanghe, like ghostly shadows fluttering across the night.

Subsequently, a robust voice rang out, “General Lan, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?”

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhuanghe frantically reined in his warhorse, unable to see clearly who was in the shadows amid the darkness, only glimpsing what seemed like countless figures, and numerous weapons and bows aimed at him.

“What are you?

Which army are you from?” Lan Zhuanghe couldn’t help asking.

At that moment, another female voice rang out: “Lan Zhuanghe, of course, we are from the 99th Army, we have been waiting for you here for a long time.”

The voice was like a ghost of the night, immensely terrifying.

Lan Zhuanghe shivered with cold all over, screaming, “You are Ning Jingjing’s female soldiers, how are you here?”

“Hahaha…”

“Why can’t we be here?

Since we plan to ‘Catching a Turtle in a Jar’, of course we must completely obliterate you.” The woman’s voice emitted a strange, giggling sound, shaking Lan Zhuanghe and making him tremble terribly.

A trap, this was yet another trap, the 99th Army did not want me to return to the castle.

Realizing this, Lan Zhuanghe gritted his teeth and, taking another look at the pursuers behind, roared, “Take a detour, be quick about the detour!”

Saying this, fifty thousand men crazily took another route…

Meanwhile, various cries of battle rang out from the opposite side, and as the figures in the darkness chased out, they suddenly stopped.

All these people were very young, except for one older individual, who was indeed Su Zhenglong!

They were from the 99th Army Reserve Camp, intended to scare Lan Zhuanghe into taking a detour.

The aforementioned female voice was…

Su Yue Immortal.

Soon, the three thousand cavalry chasing Lan Zhuanghe arrived.

They exchanged glances with Su Zhenglong and the Reserve Camp soldiers, understanding each other’s expressions, hugged their fists, and then the three thousand cavalry continued to deliberately make loud noises in pursuit.

Shortly after Lan Zhuanghe was frightened into taking a detour, Sikong Jing and over twenty thousand cavalry had already reached the foot of Ninety-Six Castle.

At this time, Ninety-Six Castle was almost empty.

Therefore, Sikong Jing and the experts did not even have to think before they rushed up the city walls, and then opened the city gates from inside.

Over twenty thousand people instantly stormed into the castle, seriously startling the soldiers left inside, but each of them was captured.

Afterwards, upon Sikong Jing’s order, everyone finished setting up and waited for Lan Zhuanghe’s return.

A quarter of an hour later, Lan Zhuanghe arrived as anticipated.

Sikong Jing then ordered the city gates to be opened to let them in, and the unsuspecting Lan Zhuanghe let out a long breath…

“Damn, I’ve finally returned to the castle.”

“Ning Jingjing, Sikong Jing…

No matter how meticulous your plans, I, Lan Zhuanghe, remain unbeatable.”

Back inside the castle, Lan Zhuanghe became arrogant again, bolstered by the castle’s defenses.

“I’d like to see how you plan to attack my castle now.

I failed once last time, but it is impossible for me to fall for it again.”

“I must fight back…”

Having said this, Lan Zhuanghe strode meteorically toward the command center in the castle tower, preparing to face the 99th Army’s troops that were arriving, his mind already crafting the taunts he would throw at the 99th Army!

He had barely set foot into the command hall of the castle when he found himself stunned.

He seemed to have been frozen into an ice sculpture.

The generals of the 96th Legion following him were all equally dumbfounded.

The command hall was packed with people, and who else could be sitting at the very center if not Sikong Jing?

Damn it, was this a person or a ghost?

“Lan Zhuanghe, we meet again,” Sikong Jing gently sipped his tea, smiling as he stared at Lan Zhuanghe.

Clang clang clang…

Then, the generals of the 99th Army inside the command hall drew their weapons, pointing them at Lan Zhuanghe and his men, while suddenly more soldiers from the 99th Army appeared outside the hall.

They sneered repeatedly, their killing intent overwhelming!

Thud…

All the weary generals from the 96th Legion aside from Lan Zhuanghe collapsed to the ground, their faces pale.

At this moment, they realized they had been utterly defeated!

Meanwhile, just as those soldiers from the 96th Legion who had collapsed outside had barely caught their breath, swords were placed against their necks…

“If you don’t want to die, raise your hands!”

The dazed soldiers of the 96th Legion raised their hands, and their weapons were immediately confiscated.

Although there were fewer people on the side of the 99th Army, the situation had been determined, and the enemy had no will to resist.

Especially when Lan Zhuanghe and all the generals of the 96th Legion were led out of the castle by Sikong Jing, all fifty thousand troops of the 96th Legion simultaneously slumped to the ground.

One by one, their faces pale, they had lost, incomprehensibly defeated.

In their minds, they thought of every possibility but could not comprehend how they were defeated, why along the journey it seemed like the 99th Army had so many people?

But surely they only had thirty thousand!

At this time, Sikong Jing slowly stepped out, walking up to the bound Lan Zhuanghe.

“Lan Zhuanghe, are you ready to kneel and beg for mercy now?”

As Sikong Jing spoke, Lan Zhuanghe’s teeth chattered, his neck pressed by swords held by two deputy generals.

“A boy from Canglong Domain, in your dreams!”

“Even if you’ve won, so what?

Do you dare kill me?”

“You wouldn’t dare…”

“No matter how we fight against each other, we are still members of the Long Night Black Burning Army, you absolutely cannot kill people.”

Even now, Lan Zhuanghe retained an air of arrogance; they were not true enemies.

“And once Commander Yan hears about this, he will definitely come to save me…”

“Then, it’s you who will still die.

You might seem to have won, but you don’t even have the military rank of the Long Night Black Burning Army.

You’re doomed.”

With that, Lan Zhuanghe lifted his head and puffed out his chest, an image of invincibility.

The faces of those in the 99th Army turned blue.

Commander Yan was indeed a significant problem.

The identity of Sikong Jing was equally problematic.

However, Sikong Jing just laughed.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a few deputy generals of the 96th Legion behind Lan Zhuanghe, and he gently inquired: “Do you really think there’s any hope in following Lan Zhuanghe?”

Upon hearing this, a Vice General of the 96th sneered, “Dream on about winning us over.”

Then another person looked toward Sikong Jing and said, “Don’t waste your breath, no matter how capable you are, you have no official status, and neither does Ning Jingjing.

What grounds do you have to convince us to betray General Lan?”

One by one, they sneered at Sikong Jing, strongly affirming Lan Zhuanghe’s invincible stance.
