This also led them to misunderstand the approaching cavalry, believing Xuanyuan Chen’s men to be from the Barbarian Tribe.

Fortunately, Mu Jingwu was also in Xuanyuan Chen’s group, so the misunderstanding was easily cleared up.

Just when the defenders of Anping City had readied themselves for battle, the Black Cavalry suddenly all stopped, with only one rider charging straight for the city gates.

When that person approached, some soldiers on the city wall quickly recognized him, “It’s Captain Mo! Thank goodness, it’s not an enemy!” “Could this be the Prince’s heavy cavalry?”

“Since when did the Prince have heavy cavalry? Weren’t we just a few hundred light cavalry when we left Yan County?”

“Yes indeed, where did the Prince get heavy cavalry from?”

“Could it be the heavy cavalry of the royal court?”

The soldiers on the city wall relaxed instantly upon seeing Mu Jingwu, but Chu Yuqin did not relax. She was still frowning, watching Mu Jingwu closely.

North City did not have heavy cavalry, and now suddenly there were several thousand heavy cavalrymen; this was bound to raise suspicion.

In the current situation, it was not possible to rule out the likelihood of Mu Jingwu having surrendered to the Barbarian Tribe.

They needed to keep watching to see what would happen.

At this moment, Mu Jingwu arrived below Anping City.

He then shouted loudly, “Great victory in Yan County! The North Prince led the soldiers of North City, and within one night killed two hundred thousand from the Barbarian Tribe and captured another hundred thousand. The Prince has sent me to welcome back the Princess!!!”

Upon hearing Mu Jingwu’s words, the soldiers on the tower were stunned.

Killed two hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers in one night???

And captured another hundred thousand???

This…

Is this even possible???

Even Chu Yuqin was taken aback.

She knew that Lu Chen had chosen to stay behind because he was confident, but she had not anticipated this outcome.

At this moment, Chu Qingli on the side of Chu Yuqin murmured, “Impossible, how could North City have such strength? This is clearly false, the one under the wall must be a spy sent by the Barbarian Tribe, deliberately spreading false news to get you to open the gates.”

Chu Qingli had been thinking that once that useless North Prince died, she could take her sister and leave North City for a life of leisure and joy, yet now she was told not only had Yan County not fallen, but North City had actually defeated the Barbarian soldiers, and it was a crushing victory. This instantly shattered her fantasy, and there was no way she could accept this result.

After all, this news sounded too unreal.

The state of North City was well known to the people of Great Sum, and Chu Qingli had also heard on her way to North City that the royal court had only dispatched seventy thousand soldiers to support the North.

Putting aside whether that army of seventy thousand could reach North City in such a short period of time, even if they really arrived at North City, together with the soldiers of North City they would only number around a hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand soldiers expecting to defeat the Barbarian Tribe’s three hundred thousand heavy cavalry?

If it were merely to hold off the Barbarian Tribe and prevent them from moving south, there might be a slim possibility.

But to kill two hundred thousand from the Barbarian Tribe and even capture another hundred thousand, how could anyone believe such an unprecedented military achievement in the history of Great Sum?

However, no sooner had Chu Qingli finished speaking than a Commander of the Brocade Guard on the city tower said, “I believe what Captain Mo has said, the Prince is the Son of Destiny; what are three hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers to him? They are nothing but chickens and dogs!”

Just after the Commander of the Brocade Guard finished speaking, other soldiers echoed, “Exactly, the Barbarian soldiers are nothing in front of the Prince, what Captain Mo has said must be true!”

After hearing the soldiers on the wall, Chu Qingli was utterly astonished. Although there was no change in her expression, she could hardly believe that the soldiers of North City held the North Prince in such high regard.

Wasn’t the North Prince a loser?

These soldiers actually said that three hundred thousand Barbarian heavy cavalry were no more than chickens and dogs in front of the North Prince?

To say what, that the North Prince is the Son of Destiny?

What kind of bewitchment has the North Prince cast on these soldiers!

This reminded Chu Qingli of Chu Yuqin; Chu Yuqin must have been fed a bewitching potion as well.

After contemplating for a moment, Mu Xingping directly said, “Open the city gates!”

Mu Xingping knew his elder brother well; even if Mu Jingwu truly betrays Great Sum, he would only consider joining another dynasty, not the Barbarian Tribe with whom they shared a deep-seated hatred, not to mention there were still their own Mu Family members within the city.

Upon hearing Mu Xingping’s orders, the soldiers opened the city gates without hesitation.

Chu Qingli thought to herself that this was hopelessly foolish of them; they would regret it when the Heavy Cavalry outside stormed in shortly.

However, she had no intention of interfering, for to her, this was actually an opportune moment-if the Heavy Cavalry really did storm into Anping City, she could simply take her sister and leave North City.

For her, escaping was never a difficult task.

Yet, the scenario Chu Qingli envisaged did not occur. Once Mu Jingwu entered Anping City, the Black Cavalry remained in place.

They not only refrained from attacking but turned around and faced south, as if on alert.

At this moment, Mu Xingping and Chu Yuqin came down from the city tower to greet Mu Jingwu.

As Mu Jingwu entered the city, Mu Xingping hurried over and asked, “Elder brother, is all that you’ve said true? Did the Prince really slay two hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers and capture another hundred thousand?”

Mu Jmgwu replied, “Yes, it’s all true. After you all left, a force of fifty thousand Heavy Cavalry arrived at Yan County. It is said that this Heavy Cavalry was secretly formed by the Prince, who also introduced a tremendously powerful secret weapon. Yan County had only a little over ten thousand casualties!”

Upon hearing Mu Jingwu’s words, Chu Yuqin instantly thought of the mysterious weapon in Lu Chen’s possession that could instantly kill Martial Artists and Grandmasters of Ninth Grade.

If Lu Chen had an even more terrifying weapon with greater power, then dealing with the Barbarian Tribe wouldn’t be that difficult.

But when did Lu Chen train a Heavy Cavalry?

This was something she knew nothing about at all.

Even the Brocade Guards could be overlooked, but this was an army!

Maintaining a fifty thousand-strong Heavy Cavalry required many resources; surely the Prince’s Mansion had to provide these soldiers with resources. Yet, Chu Yuqin had seen no expenditure related to this

At this time, Mu Xingping cocked his head and glanced through the city gate at the distant Heavy Cavalry before asking, “Elder brother, are those Heavy Cavalry under the command of the Prince?”

Yes,” Mu Jingwu confirmed. “They played a significant role in this battle. The combat power of these Black Cavalry is extremely fearsome, easily overpowering a hundred enemies each.”

Out of curiosity, Mu Xingping asked, “Why would the Prince send so many

Heavy Cavalry to pick up the sisters?”

Mu Jingwu glanced around, then whispered, “The Prince was concerned that the south would learn of his victory and take the sisters there, so he deliberately had me bring five thousand Heavy Cavalry.”

Although Mu Jingwu didn’t specify whom they were guarding against, Mu Xingping instantly grasped his implication.

‘South’ referred to none other than the Capital city.

Now that the North Prince had defeated the three hundred thousand-strong Barbarian iron cavalry and made a name for himself, coupled with tens of thousands of Heavy Cavalry in his command, he had become the most militarily powerful Seignior in Great Sum in practice, and the court could not but guard against him.

To secure the obedience of the North Prince, the court would likely take his children to the Capital city as hostages.

Hearing Mu Jingwu’s words, Chu Yuqin also felt that Lu Chen had taken the riglit action; it was indeed important to send someone to bring Mu Zixuan back to Yan County in a timely manner.

At this time, Chu Yuqin said, “You two catch up first; I must hurry back and inform Zixuan about this so they don’t worry.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chu Yuqin mounted her horse and immediately sped towards the temporary Prince’s Mansion.

Seeing this, Chu Qingli was taken aback for a moment.

She quickly followed suit.

After catching up with Chu Yuqin, Chu Qingli immediately asked, “Sister, do you really believe what that man said is true?”

While riding, Chu Yuqin smiled and responded, “I know you suspect it’s false, but in fact, Chen’er is someone who can create miracles. Once you accompany your sister to Yan County, you’ll understand.”

This…

Chu Qingli was at a loss for words.

She could only feel that Chu Yuqin was beyond help.
