Chapter 3: The Final Battle of the Southern Frontier in the Continent of Wind and Moon

On July 20th, 540 AD (Faust Calendar), an army bearing the banner of the Heavenly Dragon Legion marched in a grand procession towards the Southern Frontier!

Meanwhile, Ye Tianlong, in Linji City, received a report that the Heavenly Dragon Legion had reached the borders of Banan Prefecture and would arrive in Linji City the following day to join forces with the Temple Legion under Ye Tianlong's command.

Upon receiving this news, the man was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this news to remain inactive for the past two days. Having resolved to quickly resolve the situation in the Southern Frontier, he sent a letter to Shura, stationed in Qingjiang Prefecture. Firstly, he wanted to understand the progress of forming the new army; secondly, if things went smoothly, he wanted to send elite troops south to completely resolve the current problems in the Southern Frontier.

When Shura reported back to Ye Tianlong that not only was Fan Tong, who was forming the new army in Qingzhou, making rapid progress, but the other generals forming the new army had also achieved great success, he, as the one remaining in Qingjiang Prefecture, was not idle either. After the departure of the generals forming the new army, he quickly began the work of replenishing the Heavenly Dragon Legion in the area. When Ye Tianlong wrote to inquire, it was learned that the garrison stationed in Qingjiang Prefecture was equivalent to two of the original Tianlong Legions, and having undergone rigorous training, each soldier was a highly capable force.

Therefore, Ye Tianlong decisively ordered the mobilization of an elite force the size of the original Tianlong Legion to immediately march south and join the Temple Legion in a momentous undertaking that would shake the southern frontier.

The report arrived that this army, the size of the original Tianlong Legion, was en route to Banan Prefecture under the personal leadership of Shura. Ye Tianlong awaited their arrival the next day, at which point he could begin his decisive battle against the Chu Yue army.

That night, the man did not sleep, not out of worry about the upcoming battle with the Chu Yue army, but out of a pre-battle excitement. Despite the long stalemate with Wu Xiong Yi in the southern frontier, he knew in his heart that once Ye Tianlong was determined to do something, no one could stop him. 79 Production

If his previous stalemate with Wu Xiong Yi in the southern border region was somewhat of a concession to Chu Yue and this man he admired, then after such a long standoff and the changing international situation, he no longer wanted to waste time there, and had already done more than enough for Wu Xiong Yi. If they were to meet again in the decisive battle, he would show no mercy. He admired this "Tiger of Fei Mountain" for his character, but since they had both embarked on the path of politics, their fates were sealed: either great success or utter ruin!

After a restless night, news arrived at dawn that the Heavenly Dragon Legion led by Shura had arrived outside Linji City. Ye Tianlong, without even straightening his clothes, rushed to the city gates to greet them.

Upon meeting, Ye Tianlong and Shura shared a firm embrace. This gesture deeply moved his subordinates; what a profound emotion! His Majesty the Emperor of Fast, welcoming his subordinate general in such a rustic manner, truly demonstrated his deep affection and loyalty for his soldiers. Following such a lord to conquer the world was surely the right choice! This was the consensus among all the soldiers.

"Was the journey smooth?" After the embrace, the man patted Shura on the shoulder and asked.

"Your Majesty… ah, the journey was very smooth. Is the situation stable here?" Shura wanted to address Ye Tianlong as His Majesty, but remembering what the man had said in Qingjiang Prefecture when they marched south, he swallowed the honorific he was about to utter and asked about the current situation in Linji City.

Ye Tianlong smiled at Shura and gestured, "Let's go into the city and rest well, then we can discuss things in detail."

Shura agreed, gave instructions to the generals behind him, ordering them to camp in the places prepared for them in the city, and then accompanied Ye Tianlong to the commander's mansion in the city.

At the luncheon, Ye Tianlong first expressed his welcome and gratitude to the generals who had accompanied Shura. After several rounds of drinks and the pleasantries, the man began to discuss serious matters with them.

Since receiving the order to march south, the soldiers of the Tianlong Legion knew that after such a long period of rest, they would finally be on the battlefield again, ready to fight the enemy. Every soldier on this southward march was eager to unleash their power, waiting for the order to annihilate the invading Chu Yue army, contributing to the nation's cause of recovering lost territory and simultaneously establishing personal merit.

Listening to Ye Tianlong and Commander Xiu Luo's plans for fighting the Chu Yue army, these battle-hardened generals clenched their fists, their unwavering confidence and resolute spirit evident.

Since the man had already prepared a well-developed battle plan, after communicating with Xiu Luo and other generals, they decided to launch the decisive battle against the Chu Yue army tomorrow! Things had come to this point; an early decisive battle with the Chu Yue army would be the sooner the situation in the southern border was resolved. This battle, regardless of the outcome, was truly a fight to the death. After the

discussion, Shura and his subordinates went to prepare. Ye Tianlong went to Long Ling'er and Ning Sunu to give a detailed deployment of the Temple Legion's mission. Although after discussion, the Temple Legion was only to serve as a reserve force to support the

Tianlong Legion, it was still necessary to explain the strategic and tactical intentions to Ning Sunu and Long Ling'er, who were the rightful commanders of the Temple Legion, in detail, as it concerned the overall situation of the decisive battle. After an afternoon of troop preparation, the Fast army deployed in a well-organized formation fifty miles outside Linji City, waiting for Ye Tianlong's order the next day to fight against the main force of the Chu Yue army stationed opposite them. Wu Xiong Yi,

who was in the central army camp, received news from his scouts that the Fast army had set up its formation outside Linji City. A trace of worry flashed across his tough face.

After fighting with Ye Tianlong for some time, he had thoroughly understood the man's methods.

He knew that with Ye Tianlong's and the beauties' skills, they could easily assassinate him, the commander-in-chief, using the assassination tactics commonly employed in continental warfare, and then decisively defeat the Chu Yue army in the chaos. In fact, they had the ability and the opportunity, just like when Ye Tianlong and Yu Zhu broke into his tent. If Ye Tianlong had acted decisively then, there wouldn't be this stalemate.

Seeing the man's troop deployment and the heavy force he had arranged on the opposite side, it was clear he had lost patience and was ready to fight him. For some reason, thinking of Ye Tianlong, he felt a sudden, inexplicable fear, as if he were certain of defeat.

Perhaps it was because he had been fighting against Ye Tianlong's Temple Legion for some time, witnessing too many instances where Ye Tianlong could have easily defeated him, that he had already conceded defeat in his heart. Therefore, even he, the self-proclaimed battle-hardened "Tiger of Fei Mountain," was defeated before the battle even began!

But no matter what, as a general of Chu Yue, there was no turning back. He recalled the Emperor's words before his departure: "Success or death!"

Putting aside political stances, if he had been born in Fast, perhaps he would have truly followed this seemingly frivolous man.

Beneath his unrestrained exterior lay a heart of great benevolence and love for the world; such a ruler would surely succeed in conquering the world and become a hero chosen by all!

But all hypotheticals were futile. In his position, he could only choose to die on the battlefield, even knowing he was no match for the enemy!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiong Yi sighed deeply and ordered his generals to rise to the tent to discuss this decisive battle, which he had no confidence in facing!

At dawn on July 22nd, the weather was clear, and a crimson glow still shrouded the eastern horizon. The temperature seemed to have dropped

slightly, giving one the illusion of a cool early autumn.

Everything was so beautiful, except that the opposing forces of Fast and Chu Yue felt the approaching breath of death.

On the vast plain, the two armies stretched out in long battle formations, separated by more than a mile. Their banners fluttered in the morning light, making a soft "poof" sound. Standing at the forefront of their respective lines were Ye Tianlong in purple-gold armor and Wu Xiong Yi in dark blue armor.

The bugles sounded, the war drums thundered, and Ye Tianlong pointed his sword forward. The shield-armored infantry at the front of their formation advanced step by step, followed closely by cavalry eager to join the advance.

Faced with Ye Tianlong's coordinated advance, the experienced Wu Xiong Yi did not adopt the same tactic.

He knew the enemy's move must have a hidden plan. If they did the same, the gap created between the enemy's shield-armored infantry and their cavalry would immediately provide a significant boost for their charge. At that moment, their initial movement would inevitably weaken their formation, allowing the enemy to use their light cavalry to quickly charge. Even if their own formation held, they would be at a disadvantage in terms of morale, which would definitely affect their subsequent battle. However, if they took no action, the enemy would surely adopt a relentless pressing tactic, which would also put them at a disadvantage.

Wu Xiongyi hesitated briefly, then waved his hand and said, "Crossbowmen, prepare!"

The shield-armored infantry at the front lowered their stance, and the crossbowmen behind them drew their bows and nocked arrows. From front to back, they used light single bows, then double crossbows, and finally heavy repeating crossbows.

Wu Xiongyi's intention was clear: if the enemy continued to advance, he would use arrows to prevent them from launching a full-scale attack.

Ye Tianlong was now positioned in the central army formation. Seeing the enemy using long-range crossbows as a deterrent, he smiled slightly.

He made a slashing gesture behind him, causing a stir among the rear troops. Once the commotion subsided, a massive cannon appeared.

Yes, it was the magic cannon that struck fear into the hearts of ordinary soldiers! After deploying it on the walls of Linji City and the front lines, the Chu Yue army had suffered greatly from it. This was precisely why, since the magic cannon was deployed, the Chu Yue army had never been able to approach Linji City again. The

Tianji Clan girl personally operated the cannon. Seeing Ye Tianlong's gesture, she shouted, "Fire!"

A huge beam of light shot directly towards the Chu Yue army's camp. The beam flashed, and a chorus of gasps echoed across the battlefield.

The Chu Yue army knew its power; wherever the beam struck, their formation immediately fell into chaos. Where the light fell, it was like a spark falling on ice and snow; the surrounding area instantly melted away, and the faint, mournful cries of warriors could be heard! The

Tianji Clan girl, unwilling to stop, fired repeatedly at the enemy. Huge orbs of light frequently struck the Chu Yue army, causing chaos and destruction wherever they went.

Seeing this, Wu Xiong Yi disregarded everything else; if the enemy continued to bombard him like this, his entire army would be wiped out. The only way now was to engage the enemy in close combat to render their magic cannons ineffective.

So, he spurred his horse and shouted, "Fire!"

All the surviving crossbowmen unleashed their arrows, instantly changing the sky and earth, as if a dark cloud had risen above the Chu Yue army, swiftly approaching the Fast army's formation.

Ye Tianlong's smile deepened; he had long anticipated this move. To be honest, he didn't want to use the magic cannon in this battle, given its destructive power and the fact that it would only sacrifice ordinary soldiers. In his mind now, victory wasn't measured by the number of enemies killed, but by achieving the goal of victory with minimal casualties—that was the humanity of a hero aiming for the throne!

His sole purpose in using the magic cannon was to force the usually cautious Wu Xiong Yi into battle. Once he destroyed Wu Xiong Yi's main force, victory would be within his grasp.

Seeing the battle unfold as he had planned, how could he not feel a surge of pride? Meanwhile, the Fast army, well-prepared beforehand, hid behind shields against the overwhelming rain of arrows, rendering the barrage ineffective.

After ordering his crossbowmen to unleash a volley, Wu Xiong Yi roared and led his troops in a charge towards the Fast army's formation. He had intended to evade the terrifying magical cannons, but after he led his troops into battle, the Celestial Clan girl had already ceased the bombardment. Instead, the Fast cavalry, positioned behind the shield-armored infantry, roared out to meet the charging Chu Yue army.

The commander of this charge was Shura, wielding a gleaming longsword, charging at the forefront of the cavalry.

The mile distance was covered in the blink of an eye by the swift hooves of his horse. He saw Wu Xiong Yi, also charging at the forefront, wielding a light spear with fierce power. A flicker of excitement crossed Shura's face. He had long heard of the "Tiger of Fei Mountain," and this opportunity to fight him on the battlefield was a tremendous stroke of luck.

In a flash of inspiration, the two were close. Shura swung his sword outwards, unleashing a powerful aerial slash. The strong sword energy, accompanied by the whooshing sound of wind, struck towards the galloping Wu Xiong Yi.

Wu Xiong Yi's expression hardened. He recognized the man before him; this single, seemingly effortless sword strike possessed a steady, powerful force, indicating his martial skill was certainly no less than his own. It seemed Ye Tianlong's forces were truly full of talent, a veritable den of hidden masters.

Seeing the sword energy approaching, he didn't have time to think. He swept his spear horizontally, and with two clangs, sparks flashed across the spear. Shura's first strike had been skillfully neutralized by Wu Xiong Yi.

"Excellent skill!" Shura could only exclaim in admiration before the two had already passed each other.

As the commander-in-chief of the Chu-Yue army, Wu Xiong Yi didn't want to engage the enemy's charging general in a one-on-one duel. He glanced at Shura out of the corner of his eye and continued his charge. In this moment of charge, only by leading from the front would his soldiers fight desperately behind him. With such courage, they might be able to turn the tide of the battle, or at least avoid a crushing defeat!

Shura, however, thought differently. Firstly, the opportunity to fight this "Tiger of Feishan" was rare, and secondly, blocking its charge would demoralize it. So, he gripped the reins, his mount neighed, turned around, and continued chasing Wu Xiong Yi.

"Trying to escape? Take this!" Shura caught up with Wu Xiong Yi in just a few strides and thrust his sword.

Wu Xiong Yi was somewhat annoyed, but facing Shura's sword light coming from the side and behind, he could only raise his spear to parry. With a quick turn and block, two more metallic clangs rang out as he deflected Shura's moving thrust.

He intended to escape again, but Shura, having failed with his thrust, switched to a slash. The swift attack, imbued with a powerful sword aura, enveloped Wu Xiong Yi, preventing him from escaping the battle.

Faced with Shura's fierce offensive, Wu Xiong Yi had no choice but to turn his horse around and unleash a flurry of spear strikes. After deflecting Shura's attacks, he thrust three more times, each aimed straight for vital points, displaying extreme ferocity!

Blazing white spear beams hurtled towards Shura's face, chest, and lower abdomen. Shura dared not be careless. Since he was mounted, he couldn't perform a sweeping sword motion. So, he leaped high from his horse, swinging his sword downwards to deflect the three spear beams. As he landed, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped again, slashing at the mounted Wu Xiong Yi.

Wu Xiong Yi dared not be careless. Faced with such a powerful attack, a direct parry was impossible. He too leaped into the air, first avoiding the downward strike, then thrusting his spear diagonally towards Shura's unbalanced waist.

Shura's attack missed, and he watched as Wu Xiongyi's spear slanted, aiming straight for his ribs. Already off balance in mid-air, he had no chance of dodging. Seeing the spear's edge approaching, even he felt the attack was certain to hit. But then, seeing the spear and sword, an idea flashed in his mind. With a flick of his wrist, he swiftly slashed at the spear with his sword, striking it with a clang before the spear's edge reached him. Using the recoil, he twisted his body like a roc in a sharp turn, barely avoiding the terrifying spear's edge.

With two hissing sounds, Shura, though having dodged the spear's attack, still had a tear in his armor under his arm. He felt the cold spear's edge on his ribs, and cold sweat immediately seeped down his back. This move was extremely dangerous.

Meanwhile, as the two fought fiercely, the two armies had already clashed, cavalry and infantry intertwined. At this moment, both light spears and arrows were rendered useless; the best weapons for close combat remained cold weapons like swords, spears, and halberds.

The Chu Yue army, exhausted from the previous stalemate, was at its last gasp. Although they fought with all their might, they witnessed firsthand what true carnage meant when facing the ferocious soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Legion, who were burning with determination.

What horrified them was that this army was completely different from the Temple Legion they had previously encountered. The Temple Legion was not a regular army, yet, under the leadership of Ye Tianlong, Ning Sunu, and Long Ling'er, they were still capable of contending with their best legion in Chu Yue. Conversely, in their battles against the Temple Legion, they had gradually lost their fierce fighting spirit. Now, facing the Heavenly Dragon Legion, whose combat power far surpassed that of the Temple Legion, they couldn't muster any more ferocity.

Every soldier in the Tianlong Legion seemed divinely inspired, their charging and slashing abilities surpassing even those of the Chu Yue soldiers. Regardless of their commander's humanitarian ideals, for individual soldiers risking their lives on the battlefield, taking the enemy's life meant preserving their own. They disregarded such considerations. By sunrise, the battlefield was a river of blood, limbs flying everywhere.

The scene of hundreds of thousands of soldiers clashing in one place was unprecedented; even Ye Tianlong felt his blood boil at the sight of such a massive decisive battle.

At this moment, whether infantry, cavalry, or other branches, ranks had long since broken, organizational structures were nowhere to be found. Everyone was simply fighting in a chaotic melee, hacking and slashing at any enemy armor they saw. Each soldier was like a demon unleashed from hell, their bodies stained with blood, their eyes blazing with terrifying ferocity, their roars devoid of human voice.

In this moment, the most primal instinct for fighting was revealed; they were a pack of highly intelligent beasts!
