209: New King of the Grassland

“Lin Yue! I will kill you!” Bru's angry roar echoed throughout the King Baiyang Encampment!

The Soldiers behind Bru were equally enraged, for when they saw the tragic state of the King Baiyang Encampment, their hearts were twisted with pain, and they wished they could kill Lin Yue!

Their former homeland, where they once lived, had now become a scorched earth, with ruins and broken walls everywhere. Several solitary vultures circled the King Baiyang Encampment, crying softly and refusing to leave. The Encampment no longer had its past glory. No one could believe that this was once the King Baiyang Encampment that dominated half of the Ordos Loop!

Inside the Encampment, dark red bloodstains were visible everywhere, scattered with dismembered limbs. Dense swarms of flies buzzed and circled within the Encampment. The entire Encampment was filled with incessant wailing and a sense of profound grief.

And at the entrance of the Encampment, before them stood a jing guan (corpse display) of one hundred thousand people. On top of the jing guan (corpse display), the Xiongnu people stared coldly at Bru and his group with open eyes. Even with only their heads remaining, they refused to close their eyes; they died with grievances!

The Xiongnu people cavalry led by Bru, seeing this tragic sight, cried out loudly and wailed to the heavens!

After Bru escaped the Encampment yesterday, he encountered the King Baiyang Left Great General, who had also fled. The Left Great General, who once commanded eight hundred thousand troops, was now as disheveled as he, having only led three thousand personal guards in his escape, joining his ten thousand cavalry!

The two then gathered numerous remnants, including the Right Grand Commandant, totaling forty thousand cavalry. They then coincidentally met Soldiers from nearby tribes. Bru immediately led one hundred thousand cavalry back to attack!

But it was ultimately too late; the Qin Army was no longer present in the King Baiyang Encampment!

What remained was only a human tragedy for the Xiongnu people!

The Soldiers from those nearby tribes were all dumbfounded at this scene. On their way, they had heard about the attack on the King Baiyang Encampment last night, but they had not expected it to be so tragic!

As fellow Xiongnu people, they also empathized and began to wail loudly.

The entire Army was choked with sobs!

Only the King Baiyang Left Great General remained relatively calm at this time. He sent people to find a few individuals and carefully inquire about the situation here.

But after those few individuals finished speaking, the Left Great General's vision also went dark, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

“A million warriors! Those were a million warriors!

Lin Yue, how dare you!

No one on the entire grassland has dared to kill so many people. Aren't you afraid of retribution?!” The Left Great General, his face streaming with tears, cried out to the heavens!

When the news of Lin Yue burying alive a million Xiongnu Soldiers spread throughout the entire Army, the Army's first reaction was shock, followed by disbelief!

They had originally thought that the million Xiongnu Soldiers were captured by the Qin Army and escorted to the Central Plains, but they never expected that they had all been killed!

In a panic, they stumbled and crawled into the King Baiyang Encampment, disregarding others' warnings, and began digging through the freshly turned soil with their hands! This was the most likely place where the Xiongnu people were buried!

In their urgency, they even forgot to use tools, only caring to dig while crying. But no one stopped them; only more and more people joined in!

It wasn't until they unearthed the Xiongnu people tribesmen who had been buried alive that they finally believed this fact, trembling as they wailed loudly!

“Prince Bru, all of your relatives have been abducted by Lin Yue, including the Grand Chancellor, Right Great General, Left Grand Commandant, and various Local Official who failed to escape.

They abducted thousands of high-ranking officials, including the King!” The King Baiyang Right Grand Commandant reported the tragic news to Bru.

Upon hearing this, and looking at the million warriors buried alive before him, Bru's emotions surged, and his eyes turned bloodshot!

With national and personal hatred combined, he now wished he could eat Lin Yue alive!

The King Baiyang Left Great General now walked over with a short knife and, without warning, stabbed Bru!

Scarlet blood flowed down Bru's cheek. The Left Great General handed the short knife to Bru. Bru looked, and saw that the Left Great General's face was also scarlet!

Bru instantly understood the meaning and raised the short knife, roaring:

“Lin Yue! I will surely eat your flesh, drink your blood, and devour your bones.

By the gods, I, Bru, swear to avenge this hatred!”

Everyone was infected by Bru's appearance. Looking at the tragedy before them, their hearts were filled with hatred for Lin Yue, and they all drew their long knives and cut their faces to show their resolve!

The morale of the entire Encampment soared, and their anger reached the sky!

Seeing this, the Left Great General immediately turned to stand before Bru and shouted loudly:

“This humble general, Ulihan, Left General, is willing to follow King Baiyang to kill the villain Lin Yue and avenge this great hatred!”

This statement was like a thunderclap!

The Xiongnu people Right Grand Commandant was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then quickly knelt on one knee and said:

“This humble general, Chahan, Right General, is willing to follow King Baiyang to kill the villain Lin Yue and avenge this great hatred!”

Immediately following, wave after wave of Soldiers shouted loudly and knelt before Bru:

“This humble general is willing to follow King Baiyang to kill the villain Lin Yue and avenge this great hatred!”

“This humble general is willing to follow King Baiyang to kill the villain Lin Yue and avenge this great hatred!”

...Elder Aikala, who had been by Bru's side, nodded slightly at this sight. The morale of the Army was ready to be utilized!

He just hadn't expected that the King Baiyang Left Great General, who seemed like a rough man, would have such delicate thoughts in this situation. After this baptism, they would likely unleash even greater combat power!

“Order the various tribes on the Ordos Loop to, from now on, encircle and block Lin Yue! Launch an all-out attack on the Qin Army!

Whoever kills Lin Yue will be granted the position of Left Grand Commandant! And rewarded with a million cattle and sheep!

Whoever rescues my father, his official position will remain, and the reward will be doubled!” King Baiyang Bru shouted loudly:

“Now, follow me to kill the enemy and rescue my father!”

“We respectfully obey King Baiyang's command!”

The Generals' reply was deafening!

At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the King Baiyang Encampment once again converged, and they chose their new King!

...“King Baiyang, where do you think Bru and his men have chased to by now?” Lin Yue asked.

They had marched for ten days, resting only three hours each day. Fortunately, they had reached the halfway point without incident and could rest for a moment.

At this time, Lin Yue would ask King Baiyang the same question.

Although King Baiyang was bound at this moment, his demeanor remained undiminished. He didn't even bother to look at Lin Yue, merely saying indifferently: “It has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Yue sighed. These past few days, he would talk with King Baiyang for a while every time he rested, hoping to glean some information. But King Baiyang always remained silent, which made him somewhat helpless.

“Difficult to deal with!

He's truly an old fox.” Lin Yue sighed to himself.

Just then, a voice came, and Lin Yue glanced over to see Xing Daorong riding up:

“My Lord!”

“Speak!”

Lin Yue said in a deep voice.

The last person he wanted to see now was Xing Daorong, because his White Horse Camp was currently responsible for scouting. As soon as Xing Daorong appeared before him, it meant there were Xiongnu people nearby!

This was also the situation Lin Yue least wanted to see at the moment!

Xing Daorong swallowed and said: “My Lord, it seems we are surrounded...”
