Chapter 777 (How Can There Be No Band in a Battle)
As a bodyguard, Cang Konghong naturally followed Mu Ran, and now Mu Ran didn't stop Cang Konghong from tagging along. It seemed like she had gotten used to Cang Konghong's presence, as if he were always waiting for her.
The three of them walked onto the Imperial Path and headed towards the city wall.
Climbing the stairs that were hundreds of zhang tall, a table had already been set up with breakfast on it.
Speaking of breakfast, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi hadn't returned since they left last night. They were probably still angry...
They had initially wanted to show off by bringing them up here, but it seemed like that wouldn't be happening.
"Your Majesty!" The ones appearing today were the vampire sisters, Serina and Celine. This had been arranged beforehand. They were considered fresh faces and suitable for this role.
Ye Hua looked at the identical sisters and thought that Lu Hong was quite fortunate. He heard that he had been 'greened' in the past, but he didn't expect that good fortune would come after that.
Looking at this pair of twins, every detail was identical. It was really hard to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister. Today, they had deliberately worn a set of sexy red maid outfits, which was quite interesting.
In fact, Lu Hong often couldn't tell them apart either. Even though they had been together for so long, Celine, the younger sister, was much naughtier, but as long as they dressed up, she looked exactly like Serina, the older sister. He often got them mixed up, but it was this confusion that made things exciting.
You would never understand how satisfying it was to be a subordinate under the Supreme Overlord. He was not only powerful, but also helped his subordinates find wives. Where could you find such a good boss? There was no one like him in the entire world.
Ye Hua sat down slowly, and Celine respectfully poured him wine, while Serina arranged the tableware on the side.
Mu Ran stood by the side, gazing at the endless expanse of snow.
"Report to Your Majesty! Half an hour until they arrive!" A voice suddenly sounded in the air, bone-chilling and ghostly.
Mu Ran was startled; she didn't even know where the person was speaking from.
Just how many formidable subordinates did this Emperor have?
"Understood."
"I take my leave!"
Ye Hua looked at the food in front of him. It was all made by Gorefiend, and it was getting closer to his taste.
Especially this pancake, the taste was exactly the same as Aunt's. It carried a warm feeling, and these Gorefiend were truly good at winning Ye Hua's favour.
"Mu Ran, sit," Ye Hua said calmly.
"Mu Ran doesn't dare."
"I told you to sit, so sit! Do you want to make this Emperor unhappy?" Ye Hua said in a low voice. The matters at home were already quite bothersome, so today was a rare opportunity to change his mood.
Mu Ran muttered in her heart and sat down slowly.
"Eat!" Ye Hua said indifferently, then picked up a pancake that had eggs and ham in it.
He took a big bite. It was delicious!
Mu Ran also picked one up and handed it to Cang Konghong behind her.
This action naturally didn't escape the notice of Ye Hua and the vampire sisters.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seemed like Mu Ran was attentive.
But Cang Konghong was still dumbfounded, extremely foolish.
Mu Ran took a gentle bite and felt that this peculiar food was indeed delicious. She really wanted to ask how it was made, so she could make it for herself in the future...
Thinking this far, Mu Ran shook her head. Why was she thinking such things? It was ridiculous.
"Mu Ran, how will you handle things when they arrive?" Ye Hua finished eating in a couple of bites, leaning back on the imperial chair, and casually asked.
Mu Ran hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, please trust Mu Ran."
"Alright, this Emperor will trust you this time! But! What if they still insist on attacking? Can you stop an army of three hundred thousand? Or is it safer for this Emperor to keep you here?" Ye Hua's voice grew darker. It was clear that if Mu Ran went out there, they might not take action, but if she left, they could attack without reservation.
Mu Ran listened without speaking. The Emperor was right; if she stayed here, they might not act, but once she left, they would have free rein to attack.
Ye Hua looked at Mu Ran, who seemed somewhat silent. He said lightly, "This Emperor is, of course, not afraid of them. Today, even if we keep them all here, staining this snow-covered land with their blood would still be a magnificent sight."
Mu Ran felt that the Emperor was boasting; how could he stop an army of three hundred thousand?
"Your Majesty, just let Mu Ran give it a try. Mu Ran guarantees it with her life!"
Ye Hua chuckled, "Mu Ran, are you saying that if you fail, your life will be this Emperor's?"
"Yes, Mu Ran is certain she can persuade them to retreat!"
"Good! This Emperor will trust you this time, but Mu Ran, let me tell you! If you don't succeed, don't blame this Emperor for being ruthless! Those three hundred thousand won't be able to return!" Ye Hua's voice turned cold as he spoke, a surge of killing intent emanating from him.
Mu Ran respectfully replied, "Mu Ran understands!"
However, Mu Ran didn't take Ye Hua's subsequent words to heart. She thought it was just the Emperor making a joke; she could only rely on herself to convince them!
Suddenly, black dots appeared in the boundless snowfield...
Looking at those black dots, Ye Hua felt a bit excited. They had finally arrived!
Indeed, it was the people from the Guda Duchy!
The Fourth Prince, Feng Yun, rode his horse at the front, his expression filled with astonishment.
Not only Feng Yun, Ding Wenfu and Xia Yu beside him also had the same look. Even many of the soldiers rubbed their eyes, as if they were seeing a mirage.
"This is Valoris???" Xia Yu exclaimed in disbelief.
In her memory, the walls of the Valoris were made of wood, but now, the golden walls were splendid and towering hundreds of zhang high, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that left people trembling.
It was even more magnificent than the Divine Steppes. If they could capture this place again, he could become the king here. How enjoyable that would be!
"Xia Yu, is this really Valoris?" Feng Yun asked incredulously, unable to believe it.
"Reporting to the General, this... is indeed Valoris." Xia Yu respectfully replied from behind.
"Unbelievable," Ding Wenfu whispered, his face filled with shock.
Feng Yun smiled after his initial shock, thinking that he had been worried about not having a good stronghold. Once they captured this place, it would be perfect for his use. As for Xia Yu, after he used him this time, he could let him go in peace.
The idea of dying gloriously on the battlefield wasn't bad.
The hundred-thousand-strong army quickly entered the range just outside the archers' shooting distance and halted their steps.
Ye Hua raised his hand slightly, and an old man picked up an ordinary bow and arrow, swiftly shooting an arrow in one smooth motion.
Everyone watched as the arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Then, it landed about a zhang away from Feng Yun's horse. [3.33 metres]
Feng Yun burst into laughter, and his laughter was followed by the uproarious laughter of those behind him.
However, amidst this laughter, a line of soldiers in white armour raised their voices.
"Those who cross the arrow's path, die!"
The words had barely left their mouths when the drummers behind them started beating the drums!
Dong dong dong!!!
The resounding drumbeats were earth-shattering, as if they pierced through heaven and earth, stirring up a surge of excitement in everyone's hearts. Even the citizens in the city who heard the sky-reaching drums were tempted to rush out and fight on the battlefield.
Of course, for the enemies, this was bad news. Their laughter was drowned out by the drumbeats, and upon hearing the opposing drums, their morale plummeted.
Feng Yun inwardly cursed himself; he had forgotten to bring a band! How careless!
