King of Nine Skies-Chapter 202 - :Black Guard
Chapter 202 - 202:Black Guard
In the early morning, just as the eastern sky began to glow with a touch of pale fish-bright color, the sound of the bugle began to reach us from afar, wafting through every corner of the three armies' camp.
In a camp, Lin Feng was wearing a crimson armor, with a somewhat bloody and deep red hue.
Looking up, Lin Feng gazed at the horizon and murmured to himself, "It's finally here."
Yesterday at midnight, he received the news that the army of the Mo Yue Kingdom had reached a distance of a hundred li away, but they did not launch an attack. Instead, they set up camp and stationed troops there.
However, the Snow Moon Army did not dare to slack off. The sentries were constantly changing, constantly keeping watch on the movements of the Mo Yue Army. At this moment, the bugle and the drums were sounding together, undoubtedly marking the beginning of the war's overture.
Inside the military camp, footsteps were coming and going one after another, but they did not seem disorderly at all. Instead, they were very orderly and well-coordinated. The battlefield could be in danger at any moment. There was no way to have a chaotic situation just because of the bugle call.
Footsteps sounded. In Lin Feng's camp, many figures appeared. All of them were wearing armors and concealing their faces. However, their eyes all shone with sharpness, looking at Lin Feng.
"Follow me."
Lin Feng said softly, and then mounted the dragon steed and headed out of the camp. The others followed quietly, mounting the red-blooded warhorses as well.
The Red Blood Army of many other camps were all looking at Lin Feng and his companions. There were about forty of them. The armor they wore was even more vividly red and glaring than that of the Red Blood Cavalry. It seemed like blood-stained setting sun. It was as if a crowd had appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, with forty people, they were not enough to form a battalion.
In the army, a centurion is in charge of a battalion and commands a hundred men.
These forty men, not even a battalion in size, yet occupied a camp and were clad in blood-red armor.
Only to see Lin Feng and his companions speeding past like a gust of wind, with great speed. Not long after, they arrived at the vast expanse of yellow soil where the two armies were facing off.
Several miles ahead of Lin Feng, there was a vast expanse of nothingness, filled with an endless array of black troops, imposing and imposing, radiating an atmosphere of coldness and severity. These were the Mo Yue Army.
Previously, Lin Feng, who had only witnessed battle scenes on the screen, gazed at this war scene with a surging surge of blood in his heart. Standing alone amidst tens of thousands of soldiers, he felt so insignificant.
Even if tens of thousands of legions all drew their bows and arrows, even a strongman at the level of the Xuanwu Realm would probably be instantly shredded into a mass of fragments.
On the battlefield, unless one is a truly outstanding and powerful individual, it is extremely difficult to completely change the course of events by one's own efforts. Therefore, back then, when Liu Canglan cut off the head of an enemy general from among tens of thousands of soldiers, this feat was widely praised and talked about.
The Snow Moon faction's left, right and center armies were arranged neatly, each positioned at the left, right and central positions respectively. Meanwhile, the Crimson Blood Army was scattered among the three major legions.

As for the Imperial City Army that was brought by Duan Tianlang, it unexpectedly passed through the middle and came to the front of the central army, aligning side by side with the central army.
Liu Canglan, Ju Chihai and Ren Qingchao were all at the very front of the main army formation.
"Brother Liu, the enemy forces are advancing with great ferocity. They number at least half a million. How should we deal with this situation?"
Duan Tianlang spurred his horse forward and came up to Liuzhancan's side. He said calmly.
"Could it be that the King of Sirius thought that Prince Mo Yue would confront us head-on directly?"
Liu Canglan turned his head and gave a glance at Duan Tianlang. He said coldly, "In a battle between two armies, even if one side has the upper hand, it cannot launch a frontal assault. That would be exchanging lives for lives. It's a gamble of lives. Even if it wins in the end, it's a hard-fought victory. Given Marcellus's reputation abroad, he couldn't do such a thing."
"Brother Liu, before the battle, you must have thoroughly understood the personalities and preferences of the local generals. This is something that I have always admired about you." Duanyantao gave a cold smile. "However, anything is possible. For us, it's fine. But the princess, a young lady of noble birth, is now in the military. If she gets injured, who will be held responsible? Therefore, I still advise Brother Liu to come up with a winning strategy sooner."
"The princess came with the King of the Wolves. She must be escorted safely by the King of the Wolves himself."
Liu Canglan sneered. The battlefields were filled with fierce fighting, but it was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Duan Tianlao not only demanded that he come up with a winning strategy, but also shifted the responsibility of protecting the princess onto him. How ridiculous!
"Brother Liu, how could you speak like this? This is your territory, and I'm just a guest. Since you've come here, the safety of the princess is naturally your responsibility. Otherwise, you should know that you've even taken away the princess's personal bodyguards. Besides, Brother Liu, don't you forget that you've even recruited them?"
Duan Tianlang glanced in the direction of Lin Feng, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness.
"King of the Scorpion Stars is really in high spirits. In the face of a major enemy, he still has the leisure to chat and gossip. He's busy shirking responsibility." Lin Feng spurred his horse forward, his chin raised slightly, and the sharp gaze that emerged from beneath his armor: "If the princess is in trouble, I, Lin Feng, would be willing to die for her. But does King Scorpion Stars think he can shirk his responsibility?"
Speak up, Lin Feng. Without waiting for Duan Tianlang to reply, he galloped towards Duan Xinye's direction.
At this moment, Duan Xinye was also wearing armor. However, her beautiful face was not covered by the head armor. The military armor was designed in such a way that the head armor was arc-shaped to avoid blocking the view, and it would not cover the face.
However, the group of people behind Lin Feng were an exception. Their armor was like blood, grotesquely ugly, covering their entire faces and leaving only their eyes exposed, extremely sharp.
"What are you here for?"
Yue Tianchen Guard was beside Duan Xinye. When he saw Lin Feng approaching, a trace of vigilance flashed across his eyes, along with a hint of coldness.
"I'm here. What does it have to do with you?"
Lin Feng gave a cold response and took off the special head armor on his head, handing it to Duan Xinye and saying, "Princess, this armor can cover your face completely. It would be better for you to wear it."
"OK, thank you."
Duan Xin Ye removed his helmet and then took Lin Feng's armor and put it on. There were mechanisms inside the armor. Whether to cover the face or not could be controlled at will.
"Lin Feng, you are my guard. Stay here to protect me."
Duan Xin Ye's corner of her eye showed a hint of a sweet smile. She pushed the lever to completely cover her face. At this moment, only her beautiful eyes were exposed. She was riding on a horse, looking extremely heroic.
A glint of surprise flashed across Lin Feng's eyes, and then he gave a slight nod and said, "OK."
Yue Tianchen witnessed this scene. His cold gaze fixed on Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng ignored him and looked towards the vast expanse of space.
Seeing that among the opposing army, many fine horses galloped out, the neighing sounds could be heard everywhere, dust was flying everywhere, and they stopped several thousand meters away from the Snow Moon Army.
"We are the Black Demon Guards of the Mo Yue Kingdom, thirty-six in number. We have come to challenge the Snow Moon Crimson Blood Cavalry. Do you dare to engage in battle?"
A rumbling tremor of voices rolled in. The Mo Yue Kingdom's Black Demon Army, like the Red Blood Army of Xue Yue, was the elite force within the army. The Black Demon Guards, like the Red Blood Cavalry.
Jiu Chihe looked at these warriors who were ready for battle, his gaze calm and indifferent. He said, "No battle."
The Red Blood Cavalry wore impassive expressions on their faces. They didn't feel the slightest bit oppressed. The military orders were as firm as mountains. They only obeyed the orders. They were truly a force of iron, and would never act on impulse.
"Not fighting?"
Duan Tianlang sneered coldly, raised his head and looked down with an arrogant gaze: "The Crimson Blood Cavalry, known as the ace unit of the Snow Moon Army, now when they encounter a local challenge, they avoid fighting and undermine the morale of the Snow Moon soldiers. What is the reason for this?"
"If the King of Sirius wishes to engage in battle, he can send his subordinates to fight on his behalf."
Jiu Chihaibai gave a cold glance at Duan Tianlang. This was the black-haired and fierce guard, with the spirit of Dragon and Tiger, his gaze carrying a sinister aura. None of them were ordinary people. It was obvious that they were the elite of the black-haired and fierce guards.
"Excellent! This is a group of bloodthirsty cavalrymen. It turns out they are just a bunch of rats. Although I, Duan Tianlao, am not a great warrior, I wouldn't retreat and refuse to fight."
Duan Tianlang shouted loudly, his voice reverberating and being heard by many soldiers around him. Immediately, the soldiers under his command became increasingly disappointed with the cavalry led by Liu Canglan. First, they were stopped outside the city gate. Now, they were even afraid to fight. The reputation of being an excellent archer was not worthy of the name.
"Among the students of Tianyi Academy, who among you is willing to take part in the battle? I will send out thirty-five of our best fighters to lead you into battle." Duan Tianlao spurred his horse and looked towards the crowd of students at Tianyi Academy. He said, "Of course, if the talents of Tianyi Academy are unwilling to fight, I will surely send out the disciples of the Holy Order to take part in the battle."
"I am willing to take part in the battle."
At this moment, a voice rang out. Among the crowd of Tianyi Academy, a young man in armor stepped forward, exuding a sense of wariness.
"Alright, on the battlefield, regardless of whether it's Tianyi or the Holy Order, all are my talents and prowess. Come on, those who come here, please select thirty-five elite soldiers from among them and send them out to engage in battle with this young and talented individual. Let's showcase the might and glory of Snow Moon."
Duan Tianlang said with great boldness.
"Then what kind of strength does that Black Demon Guard possess?" Lin Feng asked in a soft voice.
"Thirty-six people. The lowest level of cultivation among them is at the third stage of the Lingwu Realm. There are ten people at the fourth stage, six at the fifth stage, two at the sixth stage, and one at the seventh stage."
The dark demon replied in a low voice, causing Lin Feng's pupils to contract for a moment. This Black Infernal Guard was extremely powerful. The weakest among them was at the level of the Spirit Martial Realm Third Stage, while the strongest was a cultivator at the Seventh Stage of the Spirit Martial Realm, powerful enough to wipe out any Red Blood Camp composed of a hundred Red Blood Cavalry. Jiu Red Blood chose not to fight, and it was obvious that he had also noticed something.
As soon as the Mo Yue Kingdom arrived, it immediately dispatched a powerful force to engage in battle.
At this moment, a small team consisting of thirty-six sergeants was already ready to go. Lin Feng glanced at Tian Yi, the person from Tianyi Academy who had such a determined look in his eyes, and said, "You can't go in this battle. It's suicide."
"Huh?"
That young man glanced at Lin Feng for a moment, furrowing his brows slightly. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Lin Feng, you and I are both from the same celestial realm. I thought you were a passionate man, but I never expected you to be so cowardly."
Speak up! This man galloped out directly and charged towards that group of Black Infernal Guards.
When Hei Xiewei saw the crowd charging towards him, he lined up his troops and held his black long spear tightly in his right hand. When the crowd of Xue Yue reached his position, the black aura of the Hei Xiewei's spear was released. At the same time, he raised his spear and suddenly thrust it forward. Without exception, all the spears in their hands flew out of their hands and flew towards the front.
Seeing the wild and frenzied neighing of the warhorses and the long spears thrust into the hearts of the soldiers of the Snow Moon Army, the hearts of the crowd heaved violently. In an instant, all thirty-six soldiers were killed.
One shot, defeat!
Lin Feng wore an expressionless face. He had already tried to persuade the other party but to no avail. What could he do?
Only to see the thirty-six Black Demon Guards draw out the long spears from the bodies of the Snow Moon soldiers, and form a line again, shouting: "Black Demon Guards, challenge the Snow Moon Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry!"
