Chapter 6: Fight to the Death
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the cabin immediately stood up with a "ding" sound and drew out their long swords from their waists. They were ready to fight him to the death! I quickly rolled up the map, stood up and commanded in a deep voice, "Hold on! No one is allowed to leave the cabin! I'll go out first to take a look at the situation!"
"Empress! How can we sit here and wait for a pregnant woman like you to go out and check the situation? Let me go instead! I have armor and chest hair! My skills are also very good! I'm not afraid of these people!" He puffed out his chest, still young in years, but with such bravery.
I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, smiling calmly. "Is that so? I am the General, listen to me! I have Longzi protecting my body! Long Yunya! You let them not go out! If one of them walks out, they will be dealt with by military law! The overall situation is more important! They are charging towards me! You must follow my orders before you can come out!"
Long Yun's face was cloudy and uncertain, his brow furrowed as he stared at me. After a long moment, he finally lowered his head, his voice low as he acknowledged, "Yes! Commander!"
I pulled my lips, a flying body rose, standing on the deck looking around, but saw six warships really surrounding us! Those six warships had special shapes, with a snow-white snake head carved at the bow. The center of the snake's head had a single horn as sharp as a sword, with a bright red gemstone on its forehead, and its eyes were a bewitching red. Its mouth spat out three feet of snake letter. On the ship closest to us, stood a man in icy blue attire - Lan Bing. At this moment, she was noble and elegant, where did it seem like she came out to fight, clearly just out for a stroll.
"How could the Dragon's Domain have dragon ships appear? It's all because of this Ice Orchid! Holding the Dragon Thunder, I exerted my strength to deflect the flying arrows and stood at the bow: "Dragon King! Not seen for a month, how are you?" His voice was loud and clear, slowly sending out."
Her lips curved into a breathtakingly beautiful smile, she took a few steps forward, her slender hands pressed down on the white snake's head, and the whole person looked like a snake-taming girl! "I've been waiting for you for a long time, General Ye!"
"In the face of the Demon Dragon King, how can I call myself a marshal! I am just the small dragon queen of the Divine Dragon King! What's strange is that the Demon Dragon King has spread the news of putting me on top of the Divine Dragon everywhere, why can't he kill me instantly? In the end, he still needs to use such an array to kill me! Looking at the Demon Dragon King's methods, it's nothing but this!" I burst out laughing.
Her face changed, she slapped the snake's head with her palm and shouted loudly: "You dare to underestimate me! Come on! Give me an arrow!"
Kui Yue's face changed, and he turned around to shield me. I smiled faintly and slapped out with my palm, sending Kui Yue flying into the cabin. In an instant, a rain of arrows shot towards me from all directions in the sky. I stood still, not moving, and the arrows stopped right in front of me, then suddenly fell onto the deck!
Her face turned iron-green with rage, her lips trembling as she shouted loudly: "Come on! Give me the fire arrow! What else do you want to do?!"
At this point, the people at the bottom of the cabin could no longer hold back and let out a huge roar. Yilan heard it and laughed loudly, "The princes of Shenlong Army! Come out! Why rely on a woman for protection!"
She knew I was pregnant with the Dragon's child and couldn't be killed, so her goal this time was to kill them! My face turned slightly pale as I shouted loudly, "Everyone come out together!"
A few of them, upon receiving my order, flew onto me, surrounding my body, back to back, and shielding me in the middle. I smiled calmly, and in this way, even if they were injured, it would not be fatal.
At that moment, Iceland covered her face with a veil and shouted loudly, "Come on! Give me fire arrows! Kill them!" There were tears in her eyes, and her voice was choked. Slowly retreating behind the soldiers' backs!
This woman, who grew up with them since childhood, is now going to kill them. Is she also heartbroken? Is she also reluctant?
"I said cautiously, 'Today's battle is a matter of life and death! She has come to kill all the generals of our Dragon God Army. And we must not let her succeed! An army without a general is like scattered sand! Everyone must be careful!"
"Yes! Commander!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a dense barrage of rockets shot towards the ship from that direction! The several people drew out their bows and knocked down the rockets. Yilan saw that this wave of arrow fire could not harm us, so she loudly shouted, "Give me more! Keep firing! Today we must kill them all here!"
Arrows, densely shot towards us! They have armor on their chests, so they are not injured at the chest, but their legs are pierced by sharp arrows! The bloody smell spreads in the sea breeze, and Yilan cries loudly, like a spoiled child.
They were all injured. Kneeling on the ground, they still vowed to guard me with their lives. From this moment on, I no longer had any resentment towards them in my heart. Without any further hesitation, I shouted loudly, "Demon Dragon King! What do you want to do!"
"She cried, 'Don't you know what I want to do? It's all because of you! You wanted to take the initiative and strike first! That's why I had no choice but to fight back! Do you think that just because you have a dragon son, I wouldn't dare hurt you? Do you know that there are people whose knives can pierce your chest!' She said, then shouted towards the warship behind us, 'Hurry up and come out, Gui Feng!'"
I was shocked, Ghost Blade can pierce through armor and chest hair, then, Ghost Wind's knife is naturally also possible!
Turning back, Gui Feng held a knife, lowered his head and didn't look at me, emitting a chill from all over his body. His hair fell behind his ears, looking very similar to Gui Yue, if not for the different clothes, I would have thought he was Gui Yue! Behind him, a person slowly walked out, this person was tall and wore a suit of cyan iron armor, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Father.
My face changed, I trembled all over, and almost couldn't stand up. Since Shark Bay, my father and I had not seen each other for half a year! I still remember the days when we fought together, and I still remember how he taught me to shoot arrows hand in hand. Now, the two of us meet under such circumstances! This is what makes my heart unbearable!
Guī Yuè and I saw him, he knelt down and said in a low voice, "Father!"
"Sir!"
The drunkard glared at me with narrowed eyes and said in a hoarse voice after a while, "Hanmei!"
This cold cry of plum blossoms contains so much suppressed emotion! My heart aches, and my feelings surge like the tide. Trembling with sobs, I try to hold back tears in my heart. "Father! Is your body always well?"
"He said in a hoarse voice, 'Hanjun! You're well! You haven't let me down!' In just half a year, his hair had many more silver threads. He looked so old! Was this really the same man who was once known as the Wine Demon and Evil Dragon, striking fear into the hearts of all? This was clearly an old man on the verge of collapse! And yet, this old man still insisted on taking to the battlefield to kill his own unworthy daughter!"
He didn't say a word, made a face at the ghostly wind, and the two of them suddenly sprang up, leaping onto our deck! Guī Yuè and I remained kneeling, unwilling to get up.
Long Yunya was covered in wounds and shouted loudly, "Wine ghost evil dragon! You you you!"
"I said in a low voice, 'Leave this to me! Don't interfere!'"
He and several others obeyed my order and sat down on one side panting. The drunkard slowly walked to the front of me, hoarsely saying "Hanmei!"
I recall the hardships of this period and can no longer hold back, tears burst forth as I kneel down a few steps, sobbing "Father!"
He gently stroked my cheek and whispered, "Get up! Don't kneel to me! You are now the dragon empress of the Dragon Emperor, carrying the dragon's offspring in your womb! I was once a general of the Dragon Emperor, just a general! Even with this identity, you shouldn't kneel to me! Get up!"
Wiping away tears, I quickly got up and said in a hoarse voice, "Father! Sorry! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"
Bing Lan glared at us from afar, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Wine Ghost! What were you doing on her ship? Have you forgotten the agreement between us two? Gui Feng! What are you still dazing about for? Kill Ye Hanmei! Kill her! Only then can Gui Yue return to your side!"
Kui Yue was taken aback, and with a flourish, he raised the ghost knife in his hand. "Gui Feng! I don't want to be your enemy!" he exclaimed loudly. "Have you forgotten Miss's kindness to both of us?"
"Ghost month! Don't you forget, once you're a member of the Demon Dragon Clan, you'll be a member for life! I only need to issue a kill order and your identity, as well as Ye Hanmei's, will be exposed to the public! You'll be hunted down by both the Demon Dragon Clan and the Divine Dragon Clan at the same time! Are you going to follow her too?" she shouted.
The demon month burst into loud laughter, and with a flourish, he presented the Demon Blade to the Demon Wind, "Do you think that just because I escaped from Evil Dragon Island, I wouldn't have anticipated this day? What kind of joke are you playing, Magic Dragon King!"
The color of Gui Feng's face changed, and he pointed at Gui Yue with his ghostly knife, saying in a low voice, "Gui Yue! Have you really made up your mind?"
"Ghost Wind! You are indeed my good brother! But if we didn't have Miss, how would we have today? In this world, there wouldn't be the two of us anymore!"
The heavy ghost knife fell down at once, and the ghost wind laughed and said after a long time, "Ghost Moon! My thoughts, don't you understand yet?"
"Ghost Wind! What are you doing?! Raise your ghost knife and aim at Ye Hanmei's body! Kill her for me!" Binglan shouted loudly. However, Gui Feng slowly shook his head.
"Ghostly wind! How dare you! If you dare! I'll expose the identities of both of you!" Bing Lan shouted loudly.
"Ha ha! What's been exposed? That we two are Dragon Hunters? Miss, you know now, don't you?"
"I sneer, 'Yes! I not only know, but also know that you two are the legendary, Jiang Guo's Son of God! Jiang Guo's State Preceptor! I don't mind! Bing Lan! You listen well! Over the years, how many times they've saved me, I can't remember! How many times we fought together, I also can't remember! So, I don't mind! Even if they take my life, I won't mind!'"
Iceland's anger shook his whole body, and he shouted loudly, "Good! Good! You're good! Drunkard! Kill them for me!"
The Wine Ghost slowly turned around, drew out the evil dragon sword from his waist, and laughed loudly, saying, "Magic Dragon King! In my life as Wine Ghost, what I value most is righteousness and loyalty! However, my righteousness is spoken to my brothers, and my loyalty is spoken to the Dragon God! My daughter has saved me countless times in her life, and I have also saved her countless times! Such heavy favors, such deep emotions! You want me to kill her? Brothers, help Miss escape! Hanmei, set sail! Head towards the Evil Dragon Island!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two warships in the middle suddenly turned their bows towards us, and countless arrows shot towards us. Gui Feng and Gui Yue held up their ghostly knives, dancing them into a dense net that wrapped tightly around me and several others, making it impossible for the arrows to penetrate their knife net!
Three ships sailed all the way to the garrison of the Divine Dragon Army, until the Ice Land ship was no longer in sight. "Father! Father! Let's defect to the Divine Dragon Army together! Don't go back to Evil Dragon Island again!" I urged hastily and quickly.
The drunkard gazed at the distant horizon for a long time before speaking in a low voice, "It's about the children of God, when did you find out!"
I laughed, "Father, so you knew too? I went to the top of the Divine Dragon Tower before! Guī Yuè came up to the tower and brought me many things. If he wasn't familiar with what's on top, how would he know what to bring? Moreover, although no one has gone there for years, it was still spotless, the only explanation is that someone regularly cleans it! Before, Lóng Nù Jiāo also said that he had been to the top of the Flying Dragon Tower when he was very young. So, after going up, how did he come down? The place where even the Emperor of Jiang Country can't go, who exactly can go there? The answer is only one, that is the Son of God! The National Master of Jiang Country! This is also why Lóng Nù Jiāo and Lóng Yún Jiāo changed their expressions when they saw Guī Yuè. Guī Yuè's words had a great effect on them because he is both a Dragon Hunter and the Son of God of Jiang Country! Before, he said that Guī Yuè was in the Divine Dragon Army, but actually, he had already entered the Main God Temple! Perhaps this is the price he paid to let Lóng Nù Jiāo treat me better!"
"Ah, yes! Ah, yes!" The wine ghost said in a hoarse voice. "I was shocked when I saw the two of them back then. Since they have a fate with you, take them in! You know, Guoshi, it's always been a single lineage! But there are two of them! This means that only one of them can become the Guoshi! One, and the other is just a shadow of the first!"
I suddenly realized. "Is this also the reason why Long Xueyun was kicked to death, and Guiyue wanted to take them away together?" In their eyes, kicking people to death is clearly Guiyue!
"Do you still remember, when the two of them first came to this place, I gave them the surname Gui before talking to them once? That was the time I knew they were the sons of the gods of Jiang Guo! Even the master of Jiang Guo had to listen to their words! The sons of the gods of Jiang Guo, surnamed Long, just like these princes, with the character 'yà' at the end. Gui Yue is actually Long Yueya, and Gui Feng is actually Long Fengya! It's just that the names were too eye-catching, so I gave them the surname Gui!"
Ghostly wind! Ghostly moon! Dragon's edge of the month, dragon's edge of the wind!
"Father! Is it okay? You bring the people of Evil Dragon Island and surrender to the Divine Dragon Army!" I urged.
He was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Defect to the Dragon God Army? Are you saying... restore my identity? Restore my identity as a member of the Dragon God Clan?"
I nodded vigorously, "Father was originally the most outstanding general of the Shenlong tribe! If it wasn't for Hanmei, Father would have had a great future, come to me! Father! Come to me!"
"Empress! You should ask the Emperor for instructions!"
I didn't speak, just curled up the corner of my lips and whispered, "Your imperial brother will agree! With so many people from the Demon Dragon Clan, how many can we kill? It's only by turning them into our own people that it's the fastest and best solution!"
The wine ghost was silent for a moment, excited to the point of being unable to contain himself! He said loudly, "Good! I'll follow you then! Hanmei! I'll bring my brothers back and bring our wives and children back to surrender to you! Surrender to the Shenlong tribe!"
As soon as he said that, the other brothers were so excited that they burst into tears! Many of them used to be members of the Divine Dragon Clan and had committed mistakes, thinking they would never be able to return home for their entire lives. They thought they would never be able to re-enter the Divine Dragon Clan again, but unexpectedly, it turned out this way! This made them shed old tears!
"Alright! Father! I'll send the Divine Dragon Army to escort you back!" I exclaimed loudly, so excited that I couldn't contain myself!
He raised his hand and said loudly, "No need! With my foundation in the Magic Dragon Clan all these years! I believe she doesn't dare to do anything to me! Hanmei! Don't be afraid! Even if they come, I will definitely make them follow us to surrender to the Divine Dragon Clan! In this battle, I guarantee you will return with honor!"
I was overjoyed and repeatedly called out to Father!
The demon wind and the demon moon were overjoyed. They asked him to go back with them, but he shook his head and said loudly, "You two have forgotten! Your true master is Hanmei! Forget it! Hanmei! We're going!" After saying that, he flew up and returned to the warship of the Evil Dragon Island.
Everyone on the warship waved at me! I waved my hand vigorously, shouting loudly and clearly, "Uncles and elders, hurry back and bring your wives and children over here! Hanmei has prepared a welcoming feast for you all! To welcome the arrival of Uncles and Elders! I'll take the uncles and elders together, back to the Shenlong tribe!"
As soon as I shouted, they also raised their knives and loudly said, "Good! Good! Good!"
I knew that with this, the Demon Dragon Clan would be greatly injured and the Divine Dragon Army would be unstoppable! The boat gradually sailed further away. I curled up my lips. Turning around, Gui Feng and Gui Yue held ghost knives, standing behind me as always!
"Ghost Wind bowed his head and returned in a low voice, 'Miss! Ghost Wind is lucky to have escaped with his life!'"
I smiled faintly, patted Gui Feng's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Gui Feng, well done! During this period of time, you took on the responsibility of Gui Yue, protected Father's life, your contribution is great! Now that things have ended, let's hurry up and get the warriors to prepare new campsites and food, I want to drink a good cup with my brothers from Evil Dragon Island!"
Kui Yue and Gui Feng bowed their heads to receive orders, loudly saying, "Yes, Miss! "
"Hey, hey! Imperial sister-in-law! Why are these two people the State Masters? Didn't my Jiang country's State Master disappear without a trace? How did they suddenly appear out of nowhere?! And... and... Ah! I know Gu Yue became the State Master, but what about Gui Feng?! Imperial sister-in-law! Can you at least explain it to us?!" He sat on the ground, wailing loudly.
The boat sailed into the territory of the Shenlong Army. The warriors who came to meet them all bowed their heads and said in unison, "Welcome, Commander-in-Chief! Welcome, Your Highnesses! Welcome, National Master!"
I smiled, hand slowly stretched out, and said in a loud voice, "At ease!"
The generals of the Dragon Army stepped forward and said loudly, "The Commander-in-Chief has arrived! How great! Today we have prepared a wine banquet to welcome the Commander-in-Chief! Please, Commander-in-Chief and princes, do us the honor!"
I smiled, the corners of my lips slightly raised, and said loudly, "A welcoming drink? The generals are being polite! A team of people will come to surrender soon. Generals, order them to prepare a banquet, prepare accommodations! I want to welcome them with the highest courtesy! Also, it's likely that the princes won't be able to attend!" My eyes turned towards the injured Long surname men.
They saw that they were all injured on their legs, so they quickly set up a stretcher and carried them to receive treatment. Ugh! My stomach growled in protest. I held my stomach and couldn't help but burst out laughing. I was starving. That day, because of the battle with Iceland, I hadn't eaten a single meal!
At this time, the spirit relaxed, and this stock of hunger came with it! Long Yunya was slightly injured, and he shouted, "Hurry up and prepare food for the princess! If Longzi is hungry, it won't be good!"
The other generals immediately ordered their men to prepare food for me!
As soon as Father arrives, many people from the Demon Dragon Clan will definitely follow! I smiled calmly. Binglan underestimated my relationship with Father! Made a wrong move!
Hands, unconsciously stroking belly, lips corner smile has never stopped!
I live in a separate military tent, with a high tooth flag standing in front of the tent, which is the mark of the commander. I took out the map of Longnujiao from my pocket and looked at it carefully. "Ghost Wind! Ice Lan's ship, how can they come in so many! And they all have the white snake head as their symbol! I've always known that there are spies within the Divine Dragon Army, but who is this spy?! If things go on like this, our actions will be clear to her! Longnujiao won't believe it either, she's the Demon Dragon King! Right, Ghost Wind, Purple Swallow, what now!"
The demon wind slightly lowered his head and whispered, "Miss Zi Yun is not in the good books of Mr. Jiu Gui. Mr. Jiu Gui always treats her indifferently! The son-in-law he later took in was specified by the Demon Dragon King, saying it was the son of the Demon Dragon General Rui Zhao! However, after they got married, Miss Zi Yun seemed to have changed into a different person and no longer went to Mr. Jiu Gui's place to ask about his well-being. Later, she even eloped with Rui Xing and never came back!"
I furrowed my brow, "Leave? Where can we go? Ghost Wind, will we be able to reach the territory of Rui Zhao?"
Guifeng shook his head, "So many scouts have gone out to Evil Dragon Island, but there's still no news of her!"
I rubbed my forehead, no news from her? Rui Xing! Rui Xing! Son of Rui Zhao! I frowned, You stood upright in the military tent, pacing back and forth. Shaking his head repeatedly. No way! No way! Even if Zi Yun was foolish, she wouldn't do such a thing!
They escaped, but why didn't they go to Rui Zao's place? So, where did they go?
"Miss? Miss?" Kizuki called out softly.
I didn't speak, slowly sat down. "Hopefully, I guessed wrong! Father is an iron-clad father! Having gone through big and small battles without incident, he will arrive safely!"
"Is the young lady worried about the gentleman?"
I curled up the corners of my mouth, "Yeah!"
"Miss, don't be afraid! Mr. Wine Ghost is a high-ranking figure in the Demon Dragon Clan and has exceptional abilities, just like a god, no one can touch him!"
I raised my head and smiled faintly, "Yes! I should have faith in Father!"
We had prepared wine and food for the banquet, holding the finished wine in our hands, waiting for Father to lead the crowd to come. Who would have thought that we only waited for a message from the scout: "The Wine Ghost Evil Dragon has gone! The people who helped Yuanshuai that day were also killed by the Magic Dragon King! The head of Jiugui is now hanging on the evil dragon flagpole on the island of the evil dragon!"
