Dragon Tamer-Chapter 263 - 264: Expelling the Hundred Thousand Troops

Chapter 263: Chapter 264: Expelling the Hundred Thousand Troops

Translator: 549690339

In the Yang Beicheng District, which is the most intact area of Runyu City, the ground is paved with gray and white flat tiles. Each household has their own enclosed courtyard and the streets and alleys are filled with willow trees.

Perhaps the destruction of the entire Runyu City does not allow one to comprehend its once-rich and noble past, but one can experience the former glory of Runyu City by walking in the Yang Beicheng District.

Now, the Yang Beicheng District has been completely occupied by the Brown Gun Army. They are the troops of Slaughter Country, preparing for a national war that could break out at any moment.

Fifty thousand Brown Gun Army soldiers reside in those beautifully constructed courtyards and tall buildings, yet they never maintain them, instead ruining their overall beauty without a trace left.

Carrying a Mysterious Iron Bow on his back, Xu Tong sits on a bench, devouring meat with large bites, his mouth and beard smeared with grease.

With every bite, he exerts more force than usual, as if venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart onto these innocent pieces of boiled meat.

“”It’s my fault for underestimating the enemy’s strength, but since when did others have the right to point fingers and command us in Runyu City? Fourth brother, calm down for now. I’ll come up with a suitable reason and then we’ll just flatten them!” said a commander sitting nearby, dressed in light armor with disheveled hair.

“What about my Arrow Masters?” Xu Tong said, unable to contain his bitterness.

The Dragon Horse Archers had all been slain by Zhu Minglang, even those he had left behind in the camp to guard were completely wiped out by the subsequent attacks from the Copper Knife Army and Hu Family Army. His Dragon Horse Camp was annihilated overnight, leaving only a few scattered survivors.

If it weren’t for the Brown Gun Army in Yang Beicheng, it’s doubtful they would have been able to leave Runyu City alive.

“You will be compensated. In a few days, a hundred thousand troops from Slaughter Country will arrive to prepare for the war. By then, we’ll see if they’re still alive!” the disheveled commander said.

“I must avenge my brothers of the Dragon Horse Camp!” Xu Tong said through clenched teeth.

“Heh heh. Once we’ve won the national war, we can easily take down three cities to the east. I hear the girls there are very lovely. This time, I’ll definitely let you choose first, fourth brother. You can pick any beauty from the entire city,” the commander with disheveled hair laughed.

Mention of this finally eased Xu Tong’s mood considerably.

He joined the military, fought on this tea-colored ground, and the feeling of taking over a city and then wantonly trampling on it always left him insatiable—it was the unparalleled thrill that power brought!

The sun was shining bright, and the land was a blend of green and yellow; it was about to enter winter, but the region around Runyu City showed few signs of the cold, thanks to moist clouds blowing over from the Neon Sea that always seemed to keep the temperature of the land comfortable.

A massive, continuous army dressed in brown was rolling impressively over the earth; even fierce demon spirits that roamed the wilderness scurried away in panic and confusion.

It was like a brown mudrock flood charging forward, appearing slow but possessing tremendous destructive force and extreme danger!

This was the hundred thousand-strong Brown Garment Army of Slaughter Country. They had already arrived outside Runyu City, led by a Dragon Shepherd standing on the shoulder of a Giant Spirit Killing Dragon, donning not a military uniform, but a brown robe.

The Giant Spirit Killing Dragon was gargantuan, a small mountain in form, appearing from a distance like a colossal spirit standing upon the earth, and it possessed dragon horns and a dragon tail, its body covered in dragon scales.

Stationed outside the gates of Runyu City, the head of the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon towered above the tall city ramparts, making the whole city look like a small human nation crafted out of mud.

Atop the city wall, Zhu Minglang had already taken his position there, his gaze fixed on the rampaging presence of the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon and the endless brown army behind it—an image that was truly chilling. The Hu Family Siblings standing with Zhu Minglang had turned rather pale.

In comparison to this terrifying army, the Hu Family’s hundred or so Dragon Shepherds really weren’t worth mentioning.

“Zhu Minglang, that’s your name, right? I believe I’ve heard it before,” the Dragon Shepherd General perched upon the shoulder of the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon said arrogantly.

“The Orderer from the Godly Mortal Academy has issued the decree, which you must have received as well. Runyu City now belongs to the Li Chuan Kingdom, and you can take your Brown Gun Army that’s squatting in my city and leave,” Zhu Minglang said to the General commanding the hundred-thousand soldiers.

“We received it, but we still wish to remain stationed here. The law of the Imperial Dynasty is the law of the Imperial Dynasty, and if the City Lord agrees, we could continue our occupancy. Hence, when I received the news thousands of miles away, I still came, wanting Master Zhu to reconsider my proposal. I am Su Tai, the cleaner-up of the Hunter of the Nation,” the General who claimed to be Su Tai stated.

Zhu Minglang didn’t understand these titles very well. novelbuddy.cσ๓

At this moment, Hu Chongming whispered to Zhu Minglang, “He’s a member of a Dragon Shepherd Team with the title ‘Hunter of the Nation.’ People like him are terrifyingly powerful; one of them is equivalent to an entire army!”

“No need to reconsider. From now on, what I say goes in Runyu City. If you don’t take away the Brown Gun Army stationed in Yang Beicheng today, wait until nightfall and be prepared to collect their corpses,” Zhu Minglang declared.

After the proclamation of ownership, if these armies from Slaughter Country lingered, the Orderers of this land would exterminate them without Zhu Minglang having to lift a finger.

The Orderers slaughtered at a pace that could be faster than a battle-hardened army; they were either the authoritative rulers in the governing class or the most powerful Cultivators seated firmly within a faction!

“Zhu Minglang, the truce law of Li Chuan Kingdom has only three months left. After three months, our armies will return here, not merely fifty or a hundred thousand soldiers. Everything you have, including your current presumptuousness, will be ground into dust,” Su Tai said viciously.

“So, take this last chance to reconsider while I’m still standing before you!”

“Otherwise, in three months, in the name of the Hunter of the Nation, I will slaughter this entire city, and soon after, eradicate your broken Li Chuan Kingdom!” Su Tai threatened fiercely.

Zhu Minglang looked at this exceedingly arrogant army leader, his gaze turning several degrees colder.

In this land, reasoning with these people was utterly meaningless.

“Su Tai, you should be thankful the truce law exists, otherwise, you wouldn’t be leaving alive today after those words you’ve spoken! You still have some time before night falls, so take your stinking army and get off this land,” Zhu Minglang said with disgust.

Upon hearing these words, Su Tai turned as cold as a block of ice, with no warmth at all, and the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon he was standing on tensed up as well, emitting an overwhelming aura of bloodlust, as if it was about to stomp Zhu Minglang and the city wall into dust.

But, in the end, Su Tai did not erupt.

He was seething with rage, reining in the Giant Spirit Killing Dragon’s ferocity!
