"What's going on?"
Stanley Tang stumbled out of the house, still half asleep. Leonard Tang had already rushed over. Wraithshade watched the approaching enemy, and in an instant, soldiers on the perimeter fell beneath the enemy's iron hooves. Leading the charge, as expected, was Yuna Ji. Even from afar, the chilling killing intent she radiated was palpable.
"Run, quickly. Take Stanley Tang and get out of here."
Wraithshade immediately roared, and Leonard Tang grabbed Stanley Tang by the arm.
"What are you doing, Uncle? How many enemies are there?"
A soldier quickly came to report: it looked like only a few thousand. Stanley Tang immediately shook off Leonard Tang.
"Hmph, just a few thousand? Good, let the Wynn Domain fools see we're not useless. Wipe them out. I want to see for myself."
"Stanley, you should leave. Something's not right. Have you forgotten? The Wynn Domain's vanguard was utterly defeated just a few days ago."
Stanley Tang watched the soldiers charge forward, sneering and shaking his head.
"Uncle, we have over twenty thousand men here. It's fine. We'll definitely defeat them."
Leonard Tang glanced at Wraithshade, who had already vanished atop Central Rockfield. All around, the sounds of killing echoed as soldiers clashed with the enemy. Stanley Tang looked around and began climbing up to the rock's summit.
Just a few dozen meters away on the prairie, his own troops were locked in fierce combat. Stanley Tang gazed into the distance; in the enemy's front ranks was a petite woman, charging ferociously and already surrounded. He squinted to get a better look.
"A woman?"
Stanley Tang immediately burst into laughter.
"That must be a woman from the Grant Family. Capture her alive for me."
Yuna Ji had already charged into the enemy ranks, brandishing her spear. Enemies around her fell one after another, unable to mount even the most basic defense as the cavalry tore through them.
"Just a bunch of trash, after all."
Yuna Ji sneered, her spear swiftly claiming another enemy's life as she pressed forward.
"Follow me."
Sebastian Zhao shouted, and under the protection of several soldiers, Lona Long fired arrow after arrow from horseback. The enemies around Yuna Ji kept falling, struck down by arrows.
The smile vanished from Stanley Tang's face. Yuna Ji was indeed the third daughter of the Ji Family, but at this moment, an inexplicable fear welled up inside him. His soldiers were being stabbed to death one after another, and he found himself helpless against Yuna Ji standing before him. Glancing to the side, he saw the battlefield had become a slaughterhouse, his troops split apart and overwhelmed.
Some of the soldiers began to flee, prompting Stanley Tang to shout.
"Capture Yuna Ji!"
The soldiers below rushed at Yuna Ji, who was now right in front of them. Suddenly, Stanley Tang collapsed to the ground, terror-stricken as he stared at Yuna Ji. All around him, his soldiers were falling one by one, while enemy cavalry charged in, their eyes cold and merciless, filling Stanley Tang with dread.
"Heh, have you forgotten, Yuna Ji? The fate of your eldest sister... If you surrender..."
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yuna Ji's mouth. She glared at Stanley Tang, swung her spear to the side, and knocked an approaching cavalryman off his horse.
"So what? Die."
Stanley Tang watched in panic as his forces failed to stop the enemy. Some had already begun to flee. Terrified, he tried to crawl away across the Rocky Plain. Lona Long had already nocked an arrow and aimed at Stanley Tang, but Yuna Ji held her back.
"I want him alive."
With a swish, Lona Long's arrow shot toward Stanley Tang's foot. Just as it was about to pierce his thigh, the arrow inexplicably stopped in midair.
