Dream of the Red Chamber: After being exiled, I went on a killing spree in Liaodong.

"Twenty li?!" The Prince of Nan'an's eyes widened.

So fast?!

What he didn't know was that when the rebels heard that they were going to attack the city where the Prince of Nan'an was located, they were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, and their marching speed was immediately maximized.

They were afraid that if they were even a step too late, the gold and silver treasures in the Prince's mansion would be looted by others.

His madness left even the White Lotus followers, who were constantly on the move, dumbfounded.

"Your Highness... the army won't be able to return for at least two or three more days!" Master Qian's legs went weak, and his voice trembled.

This city is probably beyond saving.

"Go!" the Prince of Nan'an decisively ordered, "Leave the city! Join the main army!"

Survive first, then take revenge.

"yes!"

The group of people escorted the Prince of Nan'an to a hasty retreat.

When the common people and other noble families in the city saw that the prince had fled, how could they dare to stay?

Some packed their bundles, others harnessed their horses, and they all rushed out in a hurry.

Stay?

Only someone with water in their brain would think that way.

Since ancient times, after a city falls, which major town in a province is not looted and plundered?

Just before the White Lotus Sect stepped into the prefectural city—

The entire city is now almost empty.

The people in the city, along with the garrison troops, had long since fled.

"Holy Maiden, we've arrived."

A member of the White Lotus sect pointed to the city in front of them and said breathlessly.

"good!"

"The army—advance—"

Before she finished speaking, the White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden's pupils contracted, and her gaze suddenly fixed on the city wall.

empty.

There wasn't a single soldier in the entire Qian Dynasty.

"Look, are there any people on the city wall?"

She lowered her voice and frowned slightly.

"I looked around for a while... and it really doesn't seem like anyone's here?"

"Yeah, it's eerily quiet..."

"No way? Could they have been scared out of their wits and all run away?"

"Don't be naive!" someone gasped. "This is most likely a ruse!"

The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at the saintess, their hearts pounding.

"Give the order," she said coldly, "the entire army shall rest in place."

"I'll see how long they can keep up this act."

She refused to believe it. A formidable army of 200,000 was pressing in, and the enemy had abandoned the city and fled?

There must be an ambush.

It would be better to remain still and wait for them to reveal a weakness.

But she never expected—

This time, it's truly an empty city.

The Prince of Nan'an rushed all the way and finally joined forces with the army of 100,000.

"Your Highness? Why have you come in person!"

The generals gathered around, their faces filled with astonishment.

"The White Lotus Sect's 200,000-strong army is approaching the prefectural city," Master Qian said in a deep voice. "According to the schedule, the city should have already fallen by now."

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"What?! So fast?!"

My heart sank suddenly.

The people living in the city are all their family members!

His wife, children, elderly parents, relatives, and clansmen... they were all in that city!

Oh no... Did they all suffer a terrible fate?

"Don't panic, everyone." Master Qian raised his hand. "Your families have already evacuated with the Prince. They're on their way here and will arrive soon."

One sentence, like a splash of hot water, finally brought everyone back to their senses.

"Now is not the time to panic." The Prince of Nan'an's eyes were sinister, filled with murderous intent. "It's our turn to make a move."

He, a prince, was forced to flee in a sorry state by a group of bandits.

If this grudge is not avenged, then one is unworthy of being a superior person!

"Leave no one alive!" he gritted his teeth. "I'll let them slaughter everyone outside the city, leaving mountains of corpses!"

"yes!"

The 100,000-strong army responded with a thunderous roar, their armor clanging and their footsteps thundering across the ground.

When the army arrived at the city, everyone was stunned—

The city gates were tightly shut, the city walls were silent, and there was no sign of war.

The prefectural city... it's still there!

"Hmm?!" The Prince of Nan'an narrowed his eyes. "These rebels haven't made a move?"

He remembered it clearly—it was exactly the same when he left as it was when he returned.

Time seemed to stand still, and no one set foot there.

"Your Highness, be careful," Master Qian warned in a low voice. "This matter is strange. Why would the White Lotus Sect let go of a city that is so easily within their grasp? There must be an ambush."

"Hmm." The Prince of Nan'an nodded, his killing intent temporarily subdued. "We will circle the city and not enter for the time being."

The army quietly bypassed the main force and headed straight for the outer perimeter.

On the outskirts of the city, two large armies faced off in a thunderous confrontation.

"Holy Maiden! The main force of the Great Qian Dynasty has arrived!"

The White Lotus followers rushed over, their voices trembling.

"Finally... I couldn't hold back any longer." The saintess's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes sharp as blades. "Let's fight!"

"yes!"

The horn ripped through the sky, and the White Lotus army roared into action.

"Waaaaah—waaaah—"

Within the Great Qian army ranks, war drums thundered.

Armored soldiers lined up in formation, their cold gleaming, swords and spears like a forest, advancing step by step.

Every step I took felt like a hammer blow to my heart.

A murderous aura soared to the heavens, and the world changed color!

The White Lotus Sect followers in the front row felt their legs go weak, and some were even chattering.

"This...this can be used?"

"My goodness... the people on the other side look like they came straight from the gates of hell..."

"I miss my mom... I want to go home..."

The morale of the troops was wavering, and they were on the verge of collapse.

The White Lotus Sect's Holy Maiden's face turned cold, and she gave a stern order:

"Release two hundred 'Thor Warriors'!"

Thor's Warriors, to put it bluntly, are death squads brainwashed to the bone by the White Lotus Sect. They carry gunpowder packs on their backs and their minds are filled with the nonsense that they can ascend to heaven after death and become Thor's personal disciples.

"yes!"

The attendant beside him was startled, then suddenly came to his senses and turned to relay the order.

The previously restless rebel ranks fell silent the moment they heard that the Holy Maiden was going to send out the Thor Warrior; they even lowered their breathing.

The Prince of Nan'an across from him frowned, his face full of confusion.

"What's wrong with these lowly people? They were just scared out of their wits a moment ago, how come they're all so quiet all of a sudden?"

He squinted, feeling that the White Lotus Sect was up to something in secret.

"Your Highness, look—some people carrying bundles have emerged from the rebel ranks."

Master Qian pointed and pointed to the group of desperate men known as the Thor Warriors.

The Prince of Nan'an stared at the group that carried no swords or spears, only strange bags, and his heart tightened.

"What...what is this thing?"

Before he could react, two hundred dark figures surged out like a tidal wave!

"kill--!!!"

Thor's warriors charged forward fearlessly, heading straight for the Great Qian army's formation.

"Shieldbearers, form ranks! Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Seeing that only two hundred men were charging towards them, the soldiers of Daqian scoffed at them.

That's all the people? Not even enough to fill a tooth gap!

They spoke with disdain, but their actions were anything but hesitant.

A wall of shields stood tall, and spears formed a dense forest, ready for battle.

But as they got closer, the rebels' eerie smiles became more and more frequent.

Thor, the hero... is about to become famous throughout the world!

With a loud crash, the figure slammed into the shield wall.

How can flesh and blood break through steel barriers?

"puff--!"

The spear emerged from behind the shield and precisely pierced Thor's chest.

The Daqian soldier looked up with a sneer, about to say something sarcastic, but when he met that face, a chill ran down his spine.

That person... was actually laughing?!

His lips parted in a wide grin, his eyes burned with fervor, and he bit down on the tinderbox with a mouthful of white teeth, then suddenly rubbed it!

"Thor—we're here!!!"

Before the words were even finished, a deafening explosion occurred!

"Bang--!!!"

Explosions tore through the battlefield, flames shot into the sky, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The Daqian formation collapsed on the spot, and the soldiers in the front row were blown to pieces, with limbs and broken bodies flying everywhere.
