Chapter 442 - Another Eagle killed

Translator: Aran

The arrows clashed together.

The arrow tip of the [Flowing Light Arrow]in that instant broke open, splitting into four. It split apart like a crab claw chrysanthemum, and that normal arrow passed through the center of this chrysanthemum. As if it was true flowing light, it disappeared instantly.

The shock on [Violet Eagle's] face had not yet disappeared when there was a faint red that appeared between his brows.

The shattered flowing light arrow split into four, then slightly changed direction, but it also instantly came to before the fatty. Top, bottom, left, right, it passed by fatty's head and shot towards the air behind him.

"My mother..."

The legs of the fatty constantly knocked together, having been given a significant fright.

But opposite, the head of [Violet Eagle] suddenly struck the ground. Like a steel hammer hitting a watermelon, it shattered. Before he even had time to say a word, blood spread about everywhere as his entire body fell backwards.

"Old five..."

The [Red Eagle] by the side was shocked.

A chill completely covered their bodies. They had no way of believing the scene that had occurred just before their eyes.

[Violet Eagle]... had died?

The [Violet Eagle] that was most skilled in archership of the [Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles], with the [Violet Cloud Bow] and [Flowing Light Arrow] treasures in his hand, to think he would be defeated under the most useless commander in the entire capital? And it was death with one arrow, without any chance to struggle or resist!

[Red Eagle] did not even clearlysee just what had happened when the arrows had clashed.

He did not sense how [Violet Eagle] had been struck with an arrow.

Could it be... the archery skills of the fatty had really reached such a level?

If that arrow was aimed towards himself, would he be able to evade it?

As this thought occurred to him, [Red Eagle] could not help but shiver.

Opposite.

The shivering and trembling soldiers of the [Light Palace] camp that was lying down behind cover immediately began cheering at this scene. After cheering for a while, suddenly one realized what had happened: "Ge-ge-ge... General, yo-yo-you seem to have won... you kill one of their leaders."

There was a shred of pride that immediately appeared on the fatty's face. He lifted one of his legs to stand on the city walls, as he said proudly, "Haha... I long said, the name of the [Berserk Archer God] is not false. I once shot down a dragon god, shot down a demon god... for such a tiny little opponent, killing him is just wasting my energy..."

"General is so heroic."

"General you were so amazing. I really am completely impressed. How about this, the ten silver that you owe me from the wager several days ago, we'll call it even. But the ninety eight silvers that you owe me beforehand, you must remember to pay me back..." one of the soldiers said smilingly.

"What did you say?" The complexion of the fatty suddenly changed, his expression somewhat unbelieving. "That arrow of mine, it shocked the very heavens. It can be called one arrow scaring the soul. Thinking of the past, there were so many people that wanted to see me shoot an arrow, that they were willing to pay thousands of gold. You bunch of fools, today you saw me shoot out three arrows, but you still dare want to ask me for money. Do you know, just for this view alone, you guys owe me thousands of gold.”

The soldiers were taken aback, then instantly became hostile, "The person surnamed Wang, if you say such a thing, don't blame us for falling out with you..." As he said this, they seemed to roll up their sleeves to want to fight with him.

The other remaining soldier's also had different complexions.

"Saying such things is your bad, general."

"That's right, shooting an arrow is shooting an arrow, wagering something is wagering something. You can't discuss it in the same sentence. If you told us beforehand, we would definitely have blindfolded our eyes so we won’t witness it..."

"That's right, the arrow you shot hurt our eyes. We still haven't asked you for medical fees."

The crowd of soldiers instantly changed what they were saying.

The fatty stood with his mouth gaping open at his soldiers. With rage, "Just what crimes have I committed, that I have a bunch of bastards under my command who have no respect for military discipline..."

At this time---

"Just who is the expert on the city wall with such great archery skills. Please give us your name. Why use the hands of that trash fatty, to dare kill the [Violet Eagle] of the Right Minister's residence? With your strength you are definitely not someone normal, why must you hide yourself?"

A voice like rumbling thunder sounded out from below.

The person that spoke, was namely [Red Eagle].

He absolute did not believe that the arrow was shot out by that trash fatty. The only explanation was that there was a great expert within the City of Light. He borrowed fatty's hands to shoot such an unbelievable arrow, and killed [Violet Eagle].

From the current situation, the actions of him and his brothers had really been unprepared.

So that inexperienced little Lord of the Light Palace had evidently already made preparations, that's why he first dared to kill [Proud Eagle] and then hung his head as provocation. This was namely waiting for them to send punitive forces against him. He not only was not afraid of the Right Minister's residence, but instead had prepared to confront and stand against the Right Minister's residence...

It seemed like, from the beginning, he and the others had really underestimated the [Light Palace].

[Red Eagle] already completely understood at this time. He did not dare to have the slightest of underestimation or carelessness anymore. Altering his attitude, he instantly became cautious.

But his words caused significant alarm amongst the fatty and the others on the city wall.

"What? Right Minister's residence? [Violet Eagle]?"

The arguments between the fatty and the soldiers suddenly stopped. They had expressions where they just witnessed a ghost. The fatty cleaned his ears, then said dumbfoundedly, "Did I hear it wrong, what did the little kid say below. They are... of the Right Minister's residence? Someone within the [Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles]?"

One of the soldiers nodded his head. "Fatty, you seem to have incited trouble?"

Before he had finished.

The soldiers beside the fatty all scattered like beasts and birds, instantly disappearing without any traces.

"Motherfucker, for such a disaster, only a retard will report his name..." The fatty’s lips trembled, not even daring to let out a fart. He crouched down behind the walls,. Like a giant metaball, he rolled down the direction of the stairs, disappearing in the city.

[Red Eagle] waited for half the day before he discovered there was not even a figure left above the walls of the City of Light. The fatty had disappeared, as well as those soldiers that were on duty had also hidden somewhere.

What was this?

Could it be some kind of plot?

Just what the hell was happening at the City of Light?

[Red Eagle] looked towards the punishment pillar, where the head of [Proud Eagle] was hung, then looked towards the corpse of [Violet Eagle] that had been picked up by the soldiers of the Imperial Guard. He had not even noticed them departing. This was completely different from his aggressive and overbearing attitude he had when he came. The death of two of his sworn brothers, had made [Red Eagle] much more clear headed.

Even if there was near ten thousand comrades of the Imperial Guard next to him, [Red Eagle] did not have the slightest bit of confidence.

Was something really going to change?

[Red Eagle] gave a glance in the direction of the Right Minister's residence far off. He did not discover any strange movements. His heart suddenly realized something. Biting his teeth, he let out an order, "Lift the flags, sound the drums. The entire army is to strike at the city!"

They were already riding a tiger, it was difficult to stop. An arrow that was shot was not an arrow that could be taken back.

The four of them had brought soldiers along with them and caused a significant disturbance. It was impossible for the Right Minister’s residence not to know. At this time, they did not have any military orders coming, which represented the Right Minister had silently given his approval to this operation, which must continue on.

A melodious and vigorous drum beat sounded.

Within the air, airship after airship pushed apart the crowds as it gathered. It was like black-coloured bloodthirsty sharks swimming in the ocean of the sky. From all around the surroundings of the City of Light, it was if there was a fat piece of flesh dripping with blood that attracted such a frenzy.

The military troops on the ground constantly neared. One after another, portable formation energy cannons began flickering with formation yuan qi energy patterns, gathering with fearful energy.

Ta Ta Ta Ta!

The sound of thousand of horses and troops advancing was like the drum of the great earth was beating. Under the black stream constantly nearing, ten thousand people used their steel soled shoes to march on the ground, causing the earth to begin quivering.

The discipline and quality of the Imperial Guard of the Empire was demonstrated fully at this moment.

The complexion of [Red Eagle] became cold.

Within his eyes, there was a cold light flickering, like a gambler making his last mad decision. He suddenly waved his arm.

The deputy officer behind him instantly waved his flag.

Xiu!Xiu!Xiu!

The formation light cannons at the head of the airships as well as all of its sides suddenly began vibrating. Then it suddenly shot out an arc of light, like destructive lightning spreading throughout the sky. It seemed slow, but was in truth extremely quick. Like a meteor shower, it headed without any distinction towards the City of Light.

Such a scene was like fireworks in the day.

Such fireworks had a fatal terrifying aura of death.

As the City of Light was about to be turned into rubble by the barrage of light cannons, a ray of light flew outwards from the [Light Palace] at the very center. As this happened, along the old walls of the city, pillars of light shot towards the sky. This ancient city that had slumbered for a hundred years, seemed to have been suddenly awakened. Countless auras suddenly exploded, and a light layer that was like a ripple, as if an enormous silver bowl suddenly cupped the ground, protecting the city of light within!

Countless cannon barrages of light energy, struck on this flowing silver light screen.

The silver light screen suddenly began rippling like water, but the silver light screen was unharmed.

Such destructive light cannon fire could not pass through, it could not move this silver light screen. It was ultimately destroyed by the water-like ripples.

[Red Eagle] had his mouth gaping wide open.

His eyes were filled with a disbelieving and shocked light.

Within the City of Light... just when did it have such a level of defensive formation?

This little city that had long deprecated, a department that only had its name and no power, just what sort of depths could it have? How was this possible? One must know that in these fifty or sixty years, [Red Eagle] had also visited inside the City of Light may times. He could absolutely be certain that the formations within this ancient city, had long fallen into disuse and broken apart...

Huge shock made him lose focus for a moment.

"Continue to strike at it. No matter what the price, I want to break apart this flowing silver light formation." [Red Eagle] deeply breathed in a breath of air, as he let out a new order expressionlessly, "Unless we break the city, the army will not retreat."

An emotionless military drumbeat sounded out once again.

As such, another thousand layer of light cannon barrage, like the tongue of poisonous snakes, struck without distinction towards the City of Light-----
