Abusi could only walk a few steps before soone called him back.
“There’s no need!”
“King of Foreign Lands?”
Abusi turned in surprise toward Wang Chong, who was still standing beneath the massive dragon banner.
Mutiny among the troops would have an enormous effect on the army’s morale, and it would have to be taken care of quickly to limit its effects on the overall army.
“Heh, Great General, the Great Tang’s military law is the strictest on the continent, and you and I have always been harsh disciplinarians. Do you really think a mutiny could take place in the army?
“Would several hundred mutinous soldiers really be able to cause so much chaos, even break through so many checkpoints and make for the gate?”
Wang Chong was relaxed and confident, his young eyes shining with a profound light.
“！！！”
“!!!”
Abusi trembled in shock.
He was one of the supre Great Generals of the world, and though he spent most of his ti guarding the Imperial City, he had his own extraordinary traits that let him stand out from the rest of the crowd.
As a Great General facing a sudden mutiny, he imdiately thought about pacifying the rebellion and calming the rest of the army, giving the matter no deeper thought. It was only Wang Chong’s comnt that made him realize how suspicious this was.
This was the forward base, with a garrison of seven hundred thousand soldiers. Let alone two hundred, two thousand or even twenty thousand mutinous soldiers would barely be able to stir a wave.
Pacifying this rebellion should have taken an instant. Such a force never would have been able to threaten the gate.
Ordinary soldiers didn’t have this kind of strength!
After saying these words, Wang Chong put aside Abusi.
“Thank you for your trouble!”
Wang Chong smiled at the ssenger soldier and then suddenly grabbed at him.
This sudden action shocked Guo Ziyi and his other subordinates.
But even more astonishing was the ssenger’s reaction.
Whoooah!
The ssenger grimaced upon seeing Wang Chong snatch at him, and he hastily retreated. He moved with incredible speed, and his body suddenly swelled with energy, far more than he had before.
But in front of Wang Chong, it didn’t matter how strong he was. The mont Wang Chong took action, it was foreordained that he would not escape.
Boom! A powerful pull ca from Wang Chong’s hand, causing the ssenger to fly from the ground and toward Wang Chong.
Roooar!
The ssenger paled and let out an inhuman roar. His bones clacked and groaned as he grew larger. In a flash, the armor he wore exploded off his body, revealing rock-hard muscle.
Even his face began to change, his skin cracking open and falling off like pieces of paper.
Beneath the face was a completely different one.
Seeing that he couldn’t escape, the man let out a howl, black energy seething around him as his fingers took the form of a hook and lunged at Wang Chong.
“Impudent!”
Even Great General Abusi was shaken by this sight.
Clang! He shot forward, his saber leaving its sheath and unleashing a wave of saber energy at that ‘ssenger’.
By now, he understood that this ssenger was not one of their own.
“Such audacity!”
Abusi’s face was ashen. He had never imagined that soone would be so bold as to disguise themselves as one of their soldiers and try to deceive Wang Chong.
But Wang Chong was even faster than Abusi.
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Wang Chong closed his fingers, seizing the ssenger by a neck. With another clench and a sharp snap, that man in black who had transford into a half–Lu Wu had his neck snapped and fell limply to the ground.
The battle had lasted less than a second.
The man in black had used all his Stellar Energy in one attack against Wang Chong, but it had been completely blocked by Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy barrier, not even creating a tiny ripple. The destructive Fire of Lu Wu was also useless, in fact even being absorbed by Wang Chong.
All of his resistance had been futile!
Clang!
At this mont, Abusi walked out from behind Wang Chong and used his saber to shift aside the remnants of armor on that ‘ssenger’, revealing the black robe beneath. There was a look of understanding in Abusi’s eyes, and then a complicated mixture of emotions.
“This man... was one of those people you spoke of?” Abusi said.
“Mm.”
Wang Chong gave a slight nod.
While the n in black might have been a secret in the past, they were certainly not one now.
“What do we do now?” Abusi said, his brows creased in worry.
Ordinary rebellions were easy to deal with, but the mysterious n in black made the situation much more complicated.
“There’s no need to worry. I’ve already made arrangents. Let them be!”
Surprisingly, Wang Chong waved his hand and softly chuckled.
Plans were made, then action was taken. The n in black were extrely skilled in disguise, and he naturally knew that they would try to infiltrate his army, so how could he not make preparations?
In the end, it was just a matter of who was the better scher.
“There’s no need to worry about the n in black. Pay more attention to the front line. Since Youzhou has activated these n, they probably have another trick up their sleeve.”
Wang Chong smiled, his expression remaining relaxed.
Abusi had been rather concerned, but Wang Chong’s assured manner, after so initial shock, caused him to smile.
This truly was the case!
The one next to him was the number one War Saint whose stratagems reigned supre. With him here, what did he have to worry about?
The mutiny in the fortress seed sudden, but it had probably all been in his calculations!
“I’ll go to the front to oversee the army and guard against any mishaps. In addition, when you need it, my twenty thousand Tongluo Cavalry are ready to move out!” Abusi sternly said.
Wang Chong nodded. He looked toward the northeast, where the skies were gloomy and cold winds howled.
Though others had yet to sense anything, Wang Chong could sll the salty scent of the ocean in the wind.
Wang Chong’s eyes flashed, but he continued to act like nothing had happened, and turned to look back at the alliance army.
......
anwhile, near the fortress gates...
Roooar!
An inhuman roar resounded. As the alliance army attacked the fortress from the outside, within the fortress, several hundred half–Lu Wus and Black Fla Asuras charged toward the gates, moving through the army with incredible speed.
These n in black were incredibly strong, tearing down all opposition in their way. None of the Tang soldiers seed capable of stopping them.
“Ah!”
The Tang soldiers scread as their armor was shattered, the n in black sending them flying into the distance with just one thrust from their palms.
“Don’t fight!”
One of the n in black at the front, who appeared to be their leader, glanced at the subordinates behind him and called out, “Push them aside and open the gate to let An Lushan’s army in!”
As he spoke, he once more thrust out his palm. Stellar Energy and the Fire of Mara howled out, sending several dozen Tang soldiers flying.
These Tang soldiers were all elites, able to defeat any of the alliance soldiers one-on-one, but they were only good for battles with fellow mortals.
In front of the servants of the gods, these so-called elites might as well have been clay dogs, not even able to take one strike.
Boomboomboom!
Thousands of Tang soldiers were knocked aside, the n in black completely scattering the defensive formations in front of the gate.
These n in black ran along the ground like beasts, and the weapons hacking at their bodies bounced off as if they were trying to cut at stone.
“Turn the wheel! Pull the levers!”
“Raise the gate and open the path!”
Another one of the leaders of this group of n in black pointed at the gate, the veins on his neck bulging as he roared.
Roooar!
Seven or eight bestial n in black imdiately broke away from the group and toward the levers on the two sides of the gate.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It took only a few seconds for one of the n in black to get past the Tang army and reach the gate. A burly arm grabbed one of the long levers.
“Success!”
“Nothing but ants! And they wanted to oppose us!”
The man in black inwardly rejoiced as he began to focus his strength to pull down the lever and raise the gate.
But at this mont, the sound of a slicing sword entered his ear.
“Seeking death!”
The man in black roared, and without even turning his head, he punched out behind him.
Bang!
Stellar Energy clashed, creating an explosion, but the results were not what was expected.
An imnse energy burst out and sent the man in black flying.
