That giant body wore a terrifying death mask in the sky and the clouds rumbled when he waved his palms to smash the True Red Army troops into pieces. On the contrary, the attacks from the army, those arrows and spears all disappeared and didn’t do any damage towards him.

“Animal!”

At the front, Team Leader Xue Nuo’s body shone as he slashed out a sword energy that was a hundred meters long. He jumped up onto his horse and dealt a heavy blow towards the Shadow of Death.

“Ant!”

He turned around and pushed his palm forwards. The entire space started to collapse and one could hear lightning. With a giant explosion, Xue Nuo’s sword energy was shattered and his body flew outwards.

“Team Leader!”

A True Red Army soldier galloped forwards and one of them cried, “Protect him as he retreat, we… We can’t fight. Damn that Shadow of Death, he didn’t undergo tribution, this is a trap, he wants to wipe us all out.”

“Men!”

Figures with saint energy wrapped around them appeared. Instantly, there were three Saint Generals that charged out and shouted, “Attack, protect the Team Leader to retreat!”

……

“Jerk…”

Soora looked at the tragic scenes in disbelief, “He… Why didn’t he mentio this to me, why…”

I said, “That is because he wants to use you so naturally he wouldn’t talk about this.”

At that moment, another scene flashed across and turned into that of a human city. Soora and I were in front of a majestic hall and there were many soldiers standing still. Their armors shone and not far away, a figure stumbled over. His body was covered in injuries and wounds and it was team leader Xue Nuo.

“Xue Nuo…” Soora muttered.

However, he couldn’t hear us at all. He dragged his leg to stumble forwards and he stood in front of the soldiers, “I… I want to meet the Marshal…”

“No need.”

A thin male walked to the front and he had three golden stars on his shoulder. He smiled, “Xue Nuo, your True Red Army does not exist anymore. Your rashness caused the 200 thousand soldiers to be lost forever. The empire has taken your rank away and you are not one of the generals anymore. Why are you still here?”

“No!”

Xue Nuo bit his teeth and his eyes were filled with rage, “Soora is still trapped within Fire Tree Calamity, I can sense her aura and her pain. The empire shouldn’t abandon her, we need to organise a team to head in, I… Am willing to lead, to head over, please… Let me see the Marshal, his majesty will be willing to give me a chance.”

“Scram!”

The thin male pushed him aside and his gaze was cold, “Let me tell you, this is the most important military spot, what do you think this is? For someone that was fired to come over randomly? Archers, aim!” ȐÁℕ𝙤฿Еṧ

“Sir…”

Although the Archers pulled their bows but they looked at him in hesitation, “That… That was the empire’s war god Xue Nuo!”

“He is just a piece of trash now.”

The thin male laughed coldly, “Xue Nuo moved on his own such that the True Red Army collapsed. He is lucky that His Majesty didn’t kill him. Now that he actually dared to come here, he is asking for death.”

He said fiercely, “Xue Nuo, turn around, if not… Shoot him and kill him!”

At the front of them, Xue Nuo struggled up. His face was filled with sadness and dejection. He gave out a self mocking laugh and then said, “Shadow of Death’s death power is corroding my body and my saint powers is gone. Not long later I will be no different from dead, I just want to save my friend before I am dead, save my love… If you don’t allow then kill me. I will die with no grievances.”

He walked forwards step by step.

“Xue Nuo is forcing his way into the meeting hall!”

The thin guy hollered, “Arrows fire, kill him!”

But none of the soldiers were willing to.

“Damn!”

He snatched a bow and sent one arrow through his stomach. When he saw the blood spurt, he laughed, “Do you see that, he is just a mortal now. He isn’t a war god, fire. If not, you are going against instructions and will be treated as a traitor. Right away, fire!”

“Pu pu pu---”

The wind was shot through. The True Red Army team leader, the strongest saint fell under the arrows and his blood spread on the stone floor.

……

“Xue Nuo…”

On the side, Soora choked up and knelt onto the ground, “I misunderstood you, it is my fault, I… I actually hated you for ten thousand years…”

Her eyes were still filled with rage, “These animals, they actually locked down the news of your death and hid it from me for so long, those animals…”

The scenes shifted and we were in a camp outside of the city. In the sky was the True Red Army’s flag.

“Peng!”

In the tent, Daken was in his armor and he smashed the document onto the table. His face was ashen white, “They actually dare… They actually…”@@novelbin@@

A deputy general said, “Sir Daken, now that the old fox has power, Team Leader Xue Nuo is of no value to all of them.”

“Jerk…”

Daken bit his teeth, “I eally regret listening to the team leader, why did I have to remain to defend the camp. If I followed them and died with them, that would be so good. I wouldn’t feel as frustrated as now!”

He stood up and said, “Prepare to move the troops!”

“Sir what are you going to do?” He was shocked.

“Head towards the north!”

Daken said solemnly, “Since the empire is not willing to save Soora then I will go. Now only Soora and I are alive, I can’t let her feel despair and loneliness in the north!”

“But… But…”

The deputy was anxious and he knelt down on the ground, “Sir listen to me! True Red Army is left with ten thousand, we are the sparks of the army, please… Please leave theis. You can’t bring them away either. Last night, 50 thousand guards army troops are to our east, if we do anything, they would kill us on sight!”

“This…”

“Sir, True Red Army was nurtured by the duke and now that he was taken down by that old fox, they want to wipe us out. If we go against the law, we are asking to get killed!”

“Okay!”

Daken bit his teeth, “True Red Army stay here, I will go alone to the north!”

He jumped onto a horse and pulled out his blade. Saint energy surged from his body and his gaze was without fear, “Today, I am the only Saint Region expert, I want to see what those old foxes can do to me. Those who block me will all get killed!”

……

The scenes changed and now we were in a forest.

“Save me… Save me…”

In the forest, a girl’s cry for help could be heard.

Daken jumped off his horse and saw a girl sitting on the ground. He frowned, “Little girl, this is the north, why are you alone here?”

She said, “My house is nearby and my mother is sick. I wanted to get some herbs for her, but… A snake bit me and I can’t walk anymore, my leg is numb…”

Daken looked at the wound and his gaze was shocked, “It is poisonous! Don’t move, I will use my saint power to push out the poison!”

“Thankk you general!”

“No need.”

Daken sucked in a deep breath and opened his palms to help the girl. But when he was fully focused, her face started to twist and her fingers covered his head. Those fingers turned into branches that spread and his head was covered.

The girl started to change and turned into a tree. Her arms were the branches and purple vines covered Daken to trap him.

“Hahaha----”

Her head was in the bark of the tree and it laughed, “you want to save me? Who will save you now? Hahaha, I was waiting for this chance, I can ascend now, hahaha----”

Daken was shocked and was now in control, a purple light covered his head as he walked to and fro in the area. His saint power was absorbed bit by bit. He muttered---

“I didn’t… I won’t betray… I won’t betray True Red Army, I didn’t…”

“Team Leader Xue Nuo… I… I am useless…”

……

These were what Daken said when I saw him previously. This time, the cause and effect and Soora’s past was all revealed. I understood and just stood there.

“Daken, he is always a fool, a big fool…”

Soora looked at Daken and smiled. But many huge teardrops rolled down.
