At this moment, Lin Xiuming still couldn’t believe the battle report announced earlier by the Messenger Soldier in the city, after all, that was an army of three hundred thousand from the Barbarian Tribe.

Not just anyone could defeat an army of three hundred thousand Barbarians, North City simply didn’t possess that capability.

He could only assume that North City had achieved some decent results while defending against the Barbarian onslaught, perhaps by luck, they had taken out an important figure from the Barbarians.

Beyond that, he really couldn’t think of any other significant results the tens of thousands of soldiers from North City could have achieved.

Li Feng didn’t offer much explanation to Lin Xiuming, knowing full well that until they saw the corpses of the Barbarian soldiers on the battlefield, Lin Xiuming and the others would be unable to believe the victory North City’s soldiers had achieved.

Li Feng then led Lin Xiuming and the others out of the city.

After the Imperial Army exited the city, seeing the ground littered with Barbarian corpses, they were all incredibly incredulous.

The blood on the ground hadn’t even dried yet, clearly indicating a battle had erupted the previous night.

Did North City really possess such terrifying combat power?

How did they achieve this?

The soldiers were having a hard time believing the scene before their eyes, especially when they saw that the bodies of the Barbarian soldiers and their horses were in pieces, they became even more curious about what kind of weapon North City had used to pulverize the bodies of men and horses alike. These seventy thousand men were mostly veterans of many battles, but this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a bloody battlefield, more sanguinary and ghastly than any battle they had experienced before. The armor on those Barbarian soldiers was as if it had been destroyed by something.

in their previous battles, at least the soldiers had bodies that were somewhat intact, at most missing an arm or a leg or something.

But the scene before them was utterly different, the bodies of some Barbarian soldiers were likely beyond reassembly, completely annihilated into fragments by something.

A question arose in the soldiers’ hearts.

Just what happened at the north gate of Yan County last night?

It wasn’t just the soldiers who thought this way, Lin Xiuming and Zhou Yu were also incredibly shocked and speculating about what had happened the previous night.

At this point, Lin Xiuming couldn’t hold back any longer, so he took the initiative to ask Li Feng, “General Li, why have these Barbarians’ bodies become so… fragmented?”

Upon hearing this question, Li Feng replied, “Oh, maybe they were hit by rocks.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming instantly knew Li Feng was lying.

Could rocks create a crater several meters wide? And pulverize Barbarian soldiers to such an extent? Moreover, why did some Barbarian bodies have so many bloody holes?

Obviously, North City had employed some kind of mysterious weapon they had never witnessed before.

Lin Xiuming was, after all, the commander of the Qilin Army and battle- seasoned, he was no fool.

Although he didn’t know what weapon North City had used, Lin Xiuming was very clear that this weapon was definitely not a trebuchet and was far more terrifying than one.

But when he had gone up the city wall earlier, he had not seen any large-scale weapon capable of producing such lethal effects.

What did this indicate?

It showed that in the half-hour they had waited at the south gate, North City had already moved away all the weapons they had used the previous night, specifically to keep the Imperial Army from discovering them!

Lin Xiuming’s expression became somewhat grim.

He had now understood that the North Prince was no longer the same North Prince he had seen in Capital city.

From the martial aura he had sensed on the North Prince earlier, he could determine that a great change had occurred with the North Prince, and likewise, a significant change had happened in North City.

A bold speculation suddenly emerged in Lin Xiuming’s mind. The North Prince of the past had always been concealing his true capabilities! With this conjecture, Lin Xiuming led the Imperial Army to continue moving northwards toward Wanning Valley.

Just then, the earth began to tremble.

Distant rumbling of horse hooves approached.

Subsequently, a mass of shadows rapidly moved toward Yan County. Seeing this, Lin Xiuming thought the Barbarian Army had arrived and immediately said, “All troops on alert!”

However, just as Lin Xiuming’s words fell, Li Feng spoke up, “General Lin, don’t be nervous, those are North City’s Cavalry.”

After hearing Li Feng’s words, Lin Xiuming was once again stunned.

North City’s Cavalry?

Does North City actually have such a large scale of cavalry?

As Lin Xiuming spaced out, his deputy, Zhou Yu, immediately reminded him, “General, look quick! Those are heavy cavalry!”

Hearing these words, Lin Xiuming looked towards the dark mass of cavalry ahead and was instantly dumbstruck.

They were actually heavy cavalry!

And it seemed that there were at least five thousand men!

How is this possible?

When did North City acquire so many heavy cavalry!

A seignior could already be considered quite good if they could afford three thousand light cavalry, yet the North Prince actually had more than five thousand heavy cavalry!

This…

Soon, the heavy cavalry led by Xuanyuan Chen appeared in front of Li Feng and his group.

Although Lu Chen had ordered Xuanyuan Chen to immediately take his troops to Anping City to meet with the Prince’s consort, they had just ended a war, and the soldiers were all exhausted. So, Xuanyuan Chen made some brief arrangements and then happened to run into Li Feng and his group.

After giving a nod to Li Feng as a gesture, Xuanyuan Chen bypassed the Imperial Army and headed straight for Yan County.

Seeing the imposing heavy cavalry, the soldiers of the Imperial Army felt their bodies trembling, the sound of hooves resonating with their hearts.

After Xuanyuan Chen and his heavy cavalry left, Lin Xiuming turned his head and asked Li Feng, “General Li, are those really the Prince’s cavalry? If I’m not mistaken, there must be at least five thousand heavy cavalry, right? How long has the Prince been in North City, and how could he have forged so many armors in such a short period of time?”

To create a heavy cavalry force, one not only needs to forge armor for the soldiers but also battle armor for their horses and moreover, one needs to breed horses of exceptionally good quality.

Lin Xiuming did not believe that the North Prince could have created such a force of five thousand heavy cavalry in such a short period of time, especially with a Grandmaster level officer leading them.

Let alone whether the North Prince Mansion and North City had that much money, there simply wasn’t enough time.

Unless…

The North Prince had already been secretly having such a cavalry force made! To secretly construct such a force of heavy cavalry behind the Sum Emperor’s back, what was the North Prince planning to do?

It seemed to go without saying.

At this moment, a smile involuntarily appeared on Zhou Yu’s face, who stood beside Lin Xiuming.

He truly hadn’t expected that his visit to North City would reveal the North Prince’s secret.

If he were to report to the Imperial Court that the North Prince had privately constructed five thousand heavy cavalry, the North Prince might not be able to get away with it this time!

At that time, Li Feng replied with a smile, “The Prince’s Mansion has many ? craftsmen, so the speed of crafting armors is quite fast, nothing surprising.” Having said that, Li Feng continued onward with Lin Xiuming and their group. Lin Xiuming also realized that Li Feng was not going to tell him about the North Prince, so he didn’t ask further and followed Li Feng to continue northward.

Gradually, Lin Xiuming and his men discovered more and more corpses of Barbarian Tribe soldiers and soon they came upon the Wanning River, dyed red with blood.

At this moment, the Wanning River was like the River of Netherworld flowing out from the underworld!

Seeing the pile of corpses on the river bank, the soldiers couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle.

They had originally thought that the news of twenty thousand Barbarian Tribe soldiers being slain, announced by the messenger soldier in the city, was false. But having seen the Wanning River turned red with blood, they realized that there were probably even more corpses of Barbarian Tribe soldiers upstream in the Wanning Valley.

Perhaps the military achievement of slaying twenty thousand Barbarian Tribe soldiers was real!

Thinking that the North Prince, along with the soldiers of North City, had slain two hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers, the Imperial Army soldiers felt a chill down their spines.

How many people were there in North City…

To have slain two hundred thousand Barbarian Tribe soldiers!!!

This meant that the soldiers from North City had reached the strength of Eighth Grade, or even Ninth Grade, each!!!

But was that possible?

At that moment, the ground began to tremble again.

More dark figures appeared in the distance once more.
