11: Goodbye Dad

“A man can’t say no!” Lu Xingchen said resolutely.

Lin Wanqing’s pretty face flushed slightly.

This guy, at a time like this, still had the leisure to make lewd jokes!

“I’ll deal with them as quickly as possible and come support you!”

The battle began again.

Lu Xingchen swallowed a rejuvenation pill and fought five opponents, still wielding a sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left.

Logically, his pressure should have been greater.

But the truth was not so.

The spirit sword Lin Wanqing gave him was of profound rank low grade.

More importantly, it was fire-attributed.

And the 《Blazing Fire Sword Art》 that the System rewarded Lu Xingchen was also fire-attributed.

The two complemented each other, and his combat power increased significantly.

Lu Xingchen could even suppress that Five-Star Martial Master.

Lin Wanqing’s strength was also not to be underestimated.

She herself was a Three-Star Martial Master, and relying on the profound rank low grade Frost Moon Sword in her hand, she completely suppressed two enemies for a time.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xingchen was the first to break the deadlock, killing another Two-Star Martial Master.

Lin Wanqing killed a Martial Master almost simultaneously.

The enemies were all stunned.

Damn it, we are all Martial Masters, so why is there such a big gap between us?

Is there still justice?

Is there still law?

Every Martial Master powerhouse was an invaluable asset to the country, and that Five-Star Martial Master no longer wanted to fight, choosing to retreat.

The five Martial Master powerhouses retreated in unison, abandoning the defense of the ram.

Lu Xingchen did not pursue either.

His Qi was also running low, and if he really fought to the death, he might not gain an advantage.

After destroying the ram, the two returned to the city wall via the scaling ladder.

With the ram destroyed and heavy losses from the siege, the enemy commander had no choice but to sound the retreat.

This second day, Lu Xingchen managed to hold the city.

Seeing the enemy army retreat, cheers immediately rose from the city wall, one after another.

“We won! We held it!”

“Long live Lu Dazhuang!”

“Captain Lu is too amazing!”

Lu Xingchen and Lin Wanqing lay shoulder to shoulder on the city wall, resting and listening to Wang Xing report on the battle.

“Captain Lu, today the enemy’s offensive was not as fierce as yesterday, possibly because the ram was destroyed. Our side suffered over three hundred casualties, and our remaining combat strength is less than three hundred.”

“Over five hundred of the defending citizens also sacrificed their lives.”

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing slammed her fist against the wall.

“These bastards from Fengming Kingdom are simply too much!”

Lu Xingchen, on the other hand, said nothing more.

War was inherently like this; Dayan Kingdom was not wrong, but Fengming Kingdom was not wrong either, it was just a difference in position.

Wang Xing said worriedly, “Captain Lu, our defenders are down to less than three hundred. Can we still hold out tomorrow?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “You must believe in General Lu. With such a major event happening in Zigui City, it’s impossible for him not to react. Reinforcements will definitely arrive by tomorrow. We just need to hold on a little longer.”

Wang Xing nodded heavily.

The people of the entire Dayan Kingdom had great faith in this Great General.

On the third day, the enemy army had just launched an offensive, and before the scaling ladders were even properly set up, they hastily retreated.

Lu Xingchen excitedly shouted, “The reinforcements sent by the Great General have arrived! Brothers, we are victorious! We are victorious!”

The soldiers on the city wall were also overjoyed.

Lu Xingchen immediately checked the System panel.

He had grown much stronger!

After a brief moment of excitement, Lu Xingchen ordered, “Wang Xing, assemble the Horse Bow Squadron. We’re going out of the city to pursue!”

Lin Wanqing also smiled and said, “Count me in, I want to go too!”

Lu Xingchen and Lin Wanqing led the Horse Bow Squadron out of the city in pursuit.

This time, the Fengming Kingdom army was like stray dogs, fleeing all the way, discarding their armor and weapons, not daring to fight back at all.

Lu Xingchen, holding the zichen bow, continuously inflicted casualties on the enemy, finally releasing the gloom and suppression of the past three days.

An hour later, the Fengming Kingdom army stopped.

All around them were the elites of Dayan Kingdom, surrounding them completely, not letting a single person escape.

Among the Dayan Kingdom army, Lu Xingchen saw the Great General’s banner, and his heart immediately jolted.

Damn it, my old man actually took action personally!

Then this Fengming Kingdom unit would definitely not be able to escape.

He wondered what kind of reaction his old man would have when he saw him later?

He was actually a little excited!

The battle lasted for a day, and the soldiers of Fengming Kingdom either died or surrendered.

The entire force of over ten thousand men was wiped out within three days, which was a crippling blow to the entire Fengming Kingdom.

At dusk, the Great General led his army into Zigui City.

His first order was to summon Lu Dazhuang.

Even Lu Chaoyang, a seasoned veteran, was incredibly shocked by the dazzling military achievements of this new recruit.

He was already eager to meet this Genius of war!

Walking towards the council hall, Lu Xingchen said to Lin Wanqing, “What should I do? Miss Wanqing, I’m a little nervous.”

Lin Wanqing chuckled, “Relax. You’ve achieved such great military merits, what can the Great General do to you? He’ll definitely reward you handsomely!”

“When you see the Great General later, don’t lose your composure too much. He is indeed burly and powerful.”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “I’m afraid the Great General will be even more out of sorts.”

“Ah?”

Lin Wanqing was a little puzzled.

The two walked into the council hall.

Great General Lu Chaoyang sat in the main seat, looking on with eager anticipation.

Upon seeing Lu Xingchen, he was slightly stunned, a little slow to react.

“Xiao Chen? Shouldn’t you be at home studying? How did you suddenly end up here?”

Lu Xingchen bowed to his old man and said solemnly, “Battalion Commander Lu Dazhuang of the First Division, greets the Great General!”

Hearing this, Lu Chaoyang suddenly stood up from his chair.

“What did you say? You are Lu Dazhuang? How is this possible!”

Only then did Lin Wanqing, who was standing nearby, react.

So the Lu Dazhuang she had fought alongside many times was actually the Great General’s only son, Lu Xingchen!

But how could this be?

Everyone in Dayan Kingdom knew that Lu Xingchen couldn't Cultivate, and he was jokingly called a “tiger father with a dog son” by everyone.

Such a person actually accomplished the feat of single-handedly charging into the enemy lines!

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, “Old man, I did pretty well, didn’t I? I didn’t disgrace you.”

Lu Chaoyang pondered for a long while before suddenly saying, “Your Qi is so strong! You can Cultivate now?”

Lu Xingchen nodded heavily, “Your son won’t be a good-for-nothing his whole life. I’m already a Two-Star Martial Master!”

Lu Chaoyang stared intently at him, his expression constantly changing, then he let out a long sigh and said, “Punch me!”

Lu Xingchen: “Ah? I’ve never heard such a request in two lifetimes.”

Lu Chaoyang said in a deep voice, “If I tell you to punch, then punch. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment.

His old man was already a Five-Star Great Martial Master, so even if he took a punch from him, he should be fine, right?
