Chapter 26 War
"Boom boom boom"

"dong dong dong"

The great battle was about to begin. Lan Tian and his men stood atop the defensive walls, watching the enemy's tens of thousands of troops arrayed for the siege, their chariots, horses, stretchers, siege engines, and various weapons and equipment ready to unleash a devastating onslaught on the Black race at the command of their leader.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, first catch his king. Lan Tian searched for the enemy's commander-in-chief. However, he did not find the enemy's supreme commander. In front of the formation were pairs of tall, mighty, and warlike knights, and rows of archers.

The commander of the Black tribe was Tony Sander, the chieftain's son. A seasoned warrior, he was confident that this siege was not without reason; the siege without attacking must be suspicious, and the enemy would surely have an explanation. Sure enough, a military officer carrying a flag and riding a tall horse arrived at the foot of Tony Sander's walls, pointed at Tony Sander, and said:

“Tony Sander, how dare you send outsiders to challenge us and slaughter our people! Today we will raze this place to the ground and avenge our people! We will show no mercy!”

"Nonsense, we haven't sent any outsiders to your area, so why do you claim they're our people?"

"You still dare to argue that the foreigners around you are the evidence." The other side was quite certain that Tony Sander was the instigator and the culprit who started the war.

"Haha, I'm not going to argue with you here. If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't dare, then go back to your own lair," Tony Sander said impatiently.

The other side had come to question Tony Sander, but to their surprise, he had refused them so bluntly and disrespectfully. Without further ado, they raised their horns and blew them into the sky, triggering a fierce battle. Suddenly, a large, ferocious flying beast soared from behind the white tribe's ranks and landed in front of them.

"Attack! Flatten this place!" The woman atop the flying beast, clad in armor, was a beautiful woman with long hair, still voluptuous, curvaceous, and rosy cheeks. This woman was Murong Ziying, the commander of the White Tribe—the only daughter of the White Tribe chief. She was valiant and heroic, a pride of her generation in both tribes, having fought countless battles, including a hundred duels with Tony Sander to a draw.

Further words were useless; the two sides clashed. At Murong Ziying's command, thousands of archers unleashed a volley of arrows towards the small town. "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Arrows rained down on the town. They fell to the ground with a whoosh, and the city walls were covered in arrows. Warriors who couldn't dodge in time were hit and screamed. War was truly cruel. After the arrows, there was another attack of stones. The enemy's catapults kept hurling stones into the town, crushing houses near the city walls to pieces and injuring many people. This enraged Lan Tian and his men, who were determined to kill them all.

Tony Sander led a contingent out of town, charging straight into the enemy formation. The fiercely skilled knights charged forward, scattering the enemy archers and catapults, causing them to retreat in disarray with countless casualties. Seeing this, Lan Tian and his men on the city walls immediately ordered their archers to advance, unleashing a volley of arrows at the retreating enemy ranks. Lan Tian instructed everyone to light their arrowheads with oil, sending raging flames into the chaotic enemy ranks, igniting them and causing them to fall and roll on the ground. Arrows struck the catapults, quickly igniting them into a sea of ​​fire. The white warriors abandoned their armor and fled for their lives. Murong Ziying watched helplessly, unable to stop them, and was so enraged he vomited blood. What a bunch of idiots and scoundrels!

Just as he was about to ride his flying beast back, Lan Tian rode a fire phoenix and flew straight over. He was determined to capture the leader first; he couldn't let Murong Ziying escape. Lan Tian picked up his bow and arrow, unleashing his full fire-attribute skills, creating a fireball on the arrow.

With a whoosh, an arrow flew towards Murong Ziying.

With a loud "bang," sparks flew as the arrow struck Murong Ziying's flying beast. The beast instantly burst into flames; the fire phoenix's flames were incredibly powerful, utterly ineffective against the flying beast. Engulfed in flames, it soon plummeted from the sky, unable to move. Murong Ziying, unable to escape, also fell to the side. Tony Sander swiftly reached her, capturing Murong Ziying alive for the first time.

A great battle thus came to an end. The capture of Murong Ziying marked the defeat of the white race. But was the war truly over? Not at all. The enemy would certainly attack again, but Murong Ziying's capture became the black race's best bargaining chip. It deterred the enemy from easily launching another attack, and the war was temporarily halted. It is hoped that the conflict between the two sides can be resolved, restoring peace and tranquility to this place, allowing everyone to live in harmony and happiness.

Lan Tian thought to himself that he hoped to gain the tribe chief's support so that the two tribes could live in harmony, allowing him to find a way to leave this place with peace of mind. If the fighting continued, they would be trapped here. They needed to find a way out as soon as possible.
