Chapter 84: Dust Settled
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The enemies had all assembled, ready to launch an invasion.
Wei Changqing was currently coordinating with most of the troops to set up a formation outside the city gate.
Although Kangyun County had fortifications built around it, facing an enemy of this size, it was impossible to simply block the enemy at the city gates. Thus, they had to fight outside the city.
Because a large number of Black Armored Guards were needed to arrange into a formation, almost all of the Black Armored Guards stationed in the guard stations had arrived at the city walls, creating a last line of defense.
Xu Ning happened to be standing on the left side of the city walls. He could see that both sides were ready for a decisive battle.
‘Commander Wei is a tough man…’
Xu Ning could see that Wei Changqing was holding a sword and covered in armor.
Even among the thousands of soldiers, he had a strong demeanor.
The two groups of soldiers soon made contact.
He could hear sounds of fighting, sounds of horses galloping, shouts, etc.
This was the first time Xu Ning had seen this kind of war.
Although he had fought with enemies before, this scene still made Xu Ning feel a tingle down his spine.
Blood splattered everywhere, and every second someone would fall.
In front of this scene, the guards that were left in the guard station were considered quite lucky.
‘If I was also on this battlefield, how likely would I be able to survive?’
If they won the war and if the enemy retreated, they would inevitably achieve stability for a long time.
But if they lost, he and the rest of the guards were the last line of defense. At that point, they would need to fight for their lives.
‘Difficult question…’
Xu Ning noticed that the opponent’s formation was equally fierce and flexible.
But the enemy’s core warrior was obviously weaker in comparison.
With guards surrounding him, Wei Changqing massacred his way through the battlefield.
When they were being flanked by the enemy, they could also calmly resolve the attack.
The scene was chaotic. Xu Ning felt that he could hardly see what was going on.
But he vaguely felt that the enemy seemed to be getting weaker.
‘Wait a second…’
Xu Ning looked into the distance, and he discovered that hundreds of cavalry suddenly appeared behind the enemy forces.
From the distance, he could only roughly see that the group of cavalry were donned in black armor, even their horses were also wrapped in armor.
The sudden intrusion completely broke up the enemy’s formation.
‘Reinforcements!’
Xu Ning’s heart was shocked.
The number of reinforcements were small, but their combat effectiveness was very high.
‘We’re going to win!’
Xu Ning could feel that the colleagues around him were already getting excited.
Almost everyone saw the signs of victory.
Sure enough, just as everyone expected, the now disorganized enemy forces began to flee.
They abandoned their formation outside Kangyun County and fled towards the Qiuyun County camp.
Xu Ning was relieved.
Kangyun County was saved, and the Tao Village was also safe.
It seemed that everyone was relieved.
Kangyun County was safe!
…
Two days went by.
Because the enemy had retreated, over the past two days, it was like Chinese New Year in Kangyun County. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
The reinforcements had been stationed in the county city, so everyone was feeling relieved.
“Xu Ning.”
Tao Qingping entered Xu Ning’s study.
“What?”
Xu Ning got up from his seat.
“We, the Tao Village, also suffered heavy losses in this battle.”
Tao Qingping sighed. “A total of 20 of us joined the Black Armored Guards. Of the 15 people who were transferred to the battlefield, five of them were killed and one went missing.”
When Xu Ning heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. “Who is dead, and who is missing?”
Tao Qingping said several names that Xu Ning was familiar with.
But, at the end, Xu Ning heard Tao Jin’s name.
“You said Tao Jin is missing?”
Xu Ning frowned.
“Yes sir.”
Tao Qingping was apologetic. “There are thousands of people who went out to fight, and there are a dozen missing. Most of those who are missing were chopped up into minced meat. Some might have been abducted by the enemy. I don’t know what kind of situation Tao Jin is in.”
Xu Ning listened, his eyes narrowed slightly.
‘Tao Jin, is she really missing…’
Xu Ning remembered Tao Jin’s unusual behavior. ‘Definitely suspicious…’
“What, Xu Ning?”
Tao Qingping saw that Xu Ning seemed a bit off.
“No, nothing…”
Xu Ning waved his hand. “When I joined the Black Armored Guards, no one expected such a situation. This is a great loss for us and the Tao Village.”
Tao Qingping sighed and did not respond.
At that moment, Feng Sigua walked in.
“My lord, Commander Wei wants to see you.”
Feng Sigua said.
He looked at Xu Ning with respect.
Currently, Xu Ning seemed to be valued by Commander Wei.
“Understood.”
Xu Ning didn’t know why Wei Changqing wanted to see him, but he still chose to obey.
When he arrived at the Commander Mansion, Xu Ning met with Wei Changqing.
Wei Changqing finally set aside his solemnity and now looked much more relaxed.
He was dressed in a white shirt, and his hair was gray.
“Master Wei.”
Xu Ning saluted.
“Xu Ning, Kangyun County is safe for now, and you have made a huge contribution to the current peace we have.”
Wei Changqing said.
Xu Ning shook his head. “Those who went out of the city to fight are the real heroes.”
“Xu Ning, do you still remember the Source Faction disciples I mentioned?”
Wei Changqing asked suddenly.
Xu Ning instantly guessed what Wei Changqing was going to say.
“I remember, master.”
Xu Ning replied in a deep voice.
“After entering the Black Armored Guards, you have shown great talent.”
Wei Changqing said, “For someone like you, the sooner you enter the Source Faction, the better you’ll grow.”
“In ten days, I will return to Yunying City with Binglin and Zicheng, so you should follow along.”
“Leave for Yunying City in ten days?”
Xu Ning felt that this was too sudden.
“Master, I…”
Xu Ning expressed his worries. “Although the enemy army is retreating, they are still stationed in Qiuyun County. No one knows if they will come back. Moreover, my relatives are still in the Tao Village, so I worry about them.”
Wei Changqing smiled. “Don’t worry too much, we can easily solve that.”
Wei Changqing explained, “According to the leader of the reinforcements, they are just scouts, so there definitely will be more troops coming. When the main army arrives, we will continue to expand our territory.”
“Expand the territory?”
Xu Ning did not expect such a follow-up.
“This invasion was a test from State Hurricane.” Wei Changqing explained, “They are now suffering from internal conflicts. And in order to ensure their own survival, they began to target State Feiyun instead.”
“But how can the Source Faction let this happen? If this continues to happen, State Feiyun may fall into prolonged war. Therefore, we must fight back strongly against State Hurricane.”
“Forget about Qiuyun County and Dingyun County, even State Hurricane may not be safe.”
Xu Ning felt that the Source Faction was extremely domineering.
“So, are you willing to follow me to Yunying City?”
Wei Changqing asked again.
Xu Ning thought for a moment, before he finally nodded. “I agree, master.”
By doing so, he could access higher-level resources.
“Good!”
Wei Changqing instantly made the decision. “Go home and bid farewell to your family. In ten days, we will leave for Yunying City.”
“Okay, master.”
Xu Ning suddenly felt a little emotional.
After leaving the Commander Mansion, looking at the horses and the pedestrians on the street around him, Xu Ning felt a lot calmer.
He would soon bid farewell to Kangyun County.
“Yunying City…”
Xu Ning looked forward to his future.
