The Human Emperor (200-400)

C217: Expanding the Fruits of Success!

“Princess Ni Huang brought that expert from the royal palace. Without this much capability, how do you think we were able to hold on until now? Also, the lady who tried to kick you previously is Princess Ni Huang’s maid. The princess doesn’t have a good temper, so it will be best for you to stay away from her!”

Marchioness Yi spoke without even turning around, seeming to be able to tell what Wang Chong was thinking. Her spear stabbed swiftly into the eyes and out of the heads of several wolves who were rushing down from the mountain. Like always, her movements were simple and clean.

No matter how the wolves tried to dodge, they still ended up being stabbed and knocked flying in the same manner.

“Princess Ni Huang?”

Hearing her words, Wang Chong was surprised. He retreated to a safe zone and glanced upward, only to see a brilliant red halo spinning around slowly like a beautiful fiery phoenix.

At that instant, Wang Chong understood something.

To think that there would be a member of the royal family on Vermilion Bird Peak! Wang Chong couldn’t have expected this at all. He’d been too focused on the future great generals, such that he’d neglected the offspring of the royal family.

But thinking about it now, there were indeed quite a few members of royalty who joined the Three Great Training Camps when it was first initiated.

“No wonder the Turks and Goguryeons haven’t managed to achieve anything here!”

Wang Chong mused.

The Three Great Training Camps strictly forbade everyone from bringing their servants and kin along. However, Princess Ni Huang wasn’t restricted by this rule.

Wang Chong deeply understood how formidable the experts guarding the royal family were.

Considering the powerful experts that Princess Ni Huang brought, it wasn’t surprising for Vermilion Bird Peak to be able to stand their ground.

“If Princess Ni Huang was able to bring experts from the royal family into the training camp, it means that other members would do the same as well. In other words… the situation might not be as severe as I thought.”

Considering this possibility, Wang Chong felt a load off his heart.

Princess Ni Huang definitely wasn’t the only member of the royal family in the Three Great Training Camps. Even though this assault was abrupt and no one was prepared, the worst scenario that Wang Chong was worried about—complete annihilation—wouldn’t occur.

“Charge!——”

A sudden bellow trembled the heavens. In the distance, black figures suddenly charged in. Even though they were a little late, the instructors and Imperial Army guards of Vermilion Bird had finally arrived on the main battlefield.

“Retreat! Everyone, retreat!——”

The faces of their enemies warped in shock. Knowing that they didn’t stand a chance now, they hurriedly escaped from the mountain, panic in their eyes.

“This is a good opportunity!”

Wang Chong’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly executed the Single Character Consecutive Slash and pounced forward. Pu! The Wootz steel sword impaled the back of a panicking Goguryeon warrior.

【Congratulations to user for killing 8 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】

Along with the voice of the Stone of Destiny, the ripple extended further, and the Bane of the Battlefield within Wang Chong’s body grew stronger.
