Chapter 521: Chapter 192: Defying orders at Huqiu Mountain, Heading straight for Great Capital City_5

About two hours later.

“Chirp—”

Accompanied by a piercing eagle scream, a golden Divine Eagle sliced through the sky, braving the vast snowstorm to arrive above Huqiu Mountain.

This Divine Eagle.

Was the Holy Emperor’s cherished pet!

The Divine Eagle landed next to Ji, who opened the case, extracted the sacred decree inside, and immediately passed it to his side, “Take a look, Junior Brother, His Majesty’s decree commands us to set off for You State immediately, without any delay.”

“…”

Chen Sansi silently looked at the decree, not uttering a word for a long while.

“We can’t waste any more time, let’s set off!”

Ji issued the order.

The army was about to head out, straight for You State.

Seeing their general motionless, the soldiers of the Hongze Camp could only follow suit.

“Boom!”

Just at that moment.

The heavenly dome trembled.

But looking in the direction of Liangzhou, the Blood Sacrifice Array began to accelerate its operation, with plumes of blood mist rising from it, turning the entire sky crimson red.

And it was upon seeing this scene.

That the White Robed General on the White Horse suddenly raised his long spear high, and with a voice loud as Divine Thunder, proclaimed, “Hongze Camp, heed my command! Change direction, follow me, and head straight for the Barbarian Capital!”

This military order.

Drowned out the heavy snow, the raging winds, and clearly echoed through the minds of every single one of the forty-five thousand soldiers at Huqiu Mountain.

“Hongze Camp, heed my command!”

Xu Bin was the first to draw his sword and echo the response.

Next were his fellow brothers from Po Yang.

For them, their minds only held the military order!

If the general said the army was to rush somewhere, they just charged forward without question.

Moreover…

In their eyes, there was nothing impossible about a battle led by their general.

From Po Yang to the Battle of Hulaoguan.

When had it not seemed impossible to outsiders?

And yet, when had they not achieved it?!

This time would be no exception.

If the general said to strike at the Barbarian Capital, it meant they could!

With their influence, the vast majority of the soldiers followed suit.

“Hongze Camp, heed my command!”

“…”

Unlike the Assistant Generals.

These low-ranking military officers and Array Soldiers were from various places, assembled in the Beiliang Army’s Hongze Camp, but given their lower status, they had more contact with the general and obeyed the military order.

Moreover.

The White Robed General wasn’t trying to do something else, but to lead them to victory, to the rescue of Liangzhou City, saving millions of people including the Holy Emperor, as well as their families.

In the time before.

The fame accumulated from victory after victory transformed into authority at this moment, an authority that could stabilize the morale and control the army!

And moreover.

They did not merely hear of the White Robe’s prowess, they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Right there.

At Huqiu Mountain!

In this fortification constructed by the barbarians!

Eight hundred men.

Slaughtered ten thousand enemies in one night!

To this very moment, the corpses of the enemy lay buried in the snow, ice sculptures in human form scattered everywhere—wasn’t that proof enough?

General Chen stated how this battle was to be fought; he must have had a strategy in mind.

To follow the order was the right thing to do.

“Hongze Camp, heed my command!”

Then came the likes of Xiao Zheng and Xia Cong, who had long followed Chen San.

They were witnesses from Lai State who had seen thousands avoid the White Robe, and participants in the battle outside Hulaoguan where three thousand had routed an army of one hundred thousand, already utterly convinced by General Chen’s command.

Driven by the atmosphere, they too expressed their willingness to follow the order.

“You, have you gone mad?”

Chu Shixiong, the Deputy General of Hongze Camp, looked at the excited faces of his brothers, momentarily at a loss.

“Junior Brother?!”

Ji had not expected this turn of events, riding over on his Fire Horse, “What is this? The imperial edict has already been issued.”

“Eldest Brother, it’s not that I am unwilling to obey, but that I cannot!”

Chen Sansi clasped his hands, “Look to the direction of Liang, who knows when the Blood Sacrifice Array will be complete? Even if we were to break through Zhu Tuo Pass and open a Life Gate just before the array’s completion, that can’t stop the ritual, it only leaves a brief time for people to evacuate. How many can survive?!”

“So what?”

Ji said with conviction, “Junior Brother, you must understand, the Holy Emperor is now in Liangzhou City, Master is there as well, along with nearly a hundred thousand troops. As long as we open the Life Gate, at least Master, His Majesty, Sister Sun Li, and Brother Sun Buqi will survive. Whatever number of fellow brothers and civilians that can be saved is how many can be saved, isn’t that the safest method?”

“Eldest Brother, trust me, I’m not being reckless! Going to Zhu Tuo Pass, I have only fifty percent certainty, but going to the Barbarian Capital, I have over seventy percent, and if you join me, there’s over eighty percent.”

Chen Sansi assertively said, “If I weren’t somewhat certain, why would I insist on this course of action?”

He looked at the silent Ji, knowing their thoughts completely differed, so he did not press further.

“Depart!”

With a fierce command.

“Hongze Camp, heed my command!”

This time.

The fifteen thousand soldiers of Hongze Camp cried out in unison, shaking Heaven and Earth, swaying the snowy landscape.

Subsequently.

Mounts robust and strong bore the neatly arrayed soldiers in Armour, heading into the boundless expanse of the Northern Great Desert.

“General Chu! Don’t hesitate!”

Xia Cong urged, “Hurry and follow the army’s departure!”

“This is insubordination!”

Chu Shixiong warned, “Have you all lost your minds? The imperial edict clearly states we are to lead the troops to You State, not head northward, and certainly not to some Barbarian Capital thousands of miles away!”

The soldiers below might not be individually punished due to their numbers.

But he was the Deputy General!

One of the Deputy General’s responsibilities was to check and balance the Main General, ensuring compliance with the court’s commands, preventing mishaps.
