180: Chapter 180 The Rebellious Mars

"Kill the envoy, save the King! Kill the envoy, save the King! Kill the envoy! Save the King!" the beast soldiers below shouted in unison.

"Good, let's move out!" Mars roared. The beast soldiers below began to leave the camp in an orderly fashion, marching towards the capital, Black Fortress.

"Big brother, this is too risky. You are mobilizing troops without authorization and faking orders. If you get caught—oh, wait, you definitely will get caught—this is a serious crime!" Martin struggled as he walked out of the tent, grabbing Mars tightly with both hands.

"Fourth brother, go back quickly. I will definitely avenge our second and third brothers. Don't worry. So what if it's faking military orders? To avenge them, I fear nothing. What does this even matter!" Mars said, looking at Martin firmly.

"But you are attacking the capital! We are the garrison stationed outside the city, originally meant to fortify the capital and defend against foreign enemies. By doing this, aren't you becoming a rebel army?" Martin's small eyes were filled with complex emotions. He wanted to avenge his second and third brothers, but he didn't want his eldest brother to become a traitor to the country.

"Get some rest. Don't overthink the rest; leave it to me. By the time you wake up, I will have already returned in triumph! Hahahaha!" Mars finished speaking, turned, and left, leaving the injured Martin dazed in place.

Black Fortress was not far from the outer garrison, just a few kilometers away, so very soon, Mars's army of beasts arrived at the foot of the city wall.

The defenders on the walls looked at the swarming army of beasts below, at a loss for what to do. A Tiger-headed Orc guarding the city asked, looking confused: "Could Emperor Vesemir have been attacked? No, that's not right. If the Emperor were attacked, we would know. Does that mean the four Ma brothers are rebelling?"

"It must be the four Ma brothers rebelling. Just now, our brothers in the city said that they were smashing and killing everything. They even smashed through our city wall! It's outrageous! Now they've brought an army back. General, we should notify His Majesty immediately!" another Tiger-headed Orc, who looked like an attendant, said in a panicked tone.

"Yes, yes, yes! Notify His Majesty quickly, or it will be too late! You, yes, you! Go notify His Majesty immediately!" the Tiger-headed Orc said, pointing at the attendant who had just spoken.

"Yes, General, I'm going right away!" After saying that, the attendant turned and ran off in a hurry.

"What are we going to do now? How could this fragile city wall possibly withstand those four giants from the Ma family?" The Tiger-headed Orc general held his ring-pommel saber, sat on a chair in the city tower, and asked with a face full of worry.

"Listen, soldiers guarding the city! Open the gates immediately! We are here to protect Emperor Vesemir and eliminate the envoy from the Magic Empire! Open the gates for us quickly, or Emperor Vesemir will be in danger!" Mars stood outside the city. His face was level with the city tower. His huge eyes looked through the tower window and saw the Tiger-headed Orc general inside. He roared loudly, hoping the general would cooperate and open the gates.

"Haha, so it's General Mars. You've come to the capital to carry out a mission, but whose orders are you following? The First Prince? Or Emperor Vesemir? Do you have a written order?" The Tiger-headed Orc general also saw Mars from the tower window. Although his legs were trembling, he forced himself to stand up and loudly questioned Mars.

"It's an emergency, there's no time for a written order. By the time it arrives, it will be too late. You'd better open the gates and let my brothers in, otherwise, I will have to break them down and force my way in!" Seeing that the Tiger-headed Orc general refused to open the gates, Mars had to threaten him.

"General Mars, you serve in the military as well; you should know that without a written order, I cannot open the gates for you. This is the rule. Please understand!" The Tiger-headed Orc general gripped the hilt of his ring-pommel saber tightly and shouted with a firm expression.

"Then there is no other way. I will have to force my way in!" Seeing that the Tiger-headed Orc general would not open the gates, Mars slowly walked up to the city tower, preparing to smash directly through it and lead his beast army to storm into the city.

"Hey, Mars, what are you doing?" A familiar voice rang out. Mars turned his head and saw that the source of the voice was none other than Marcus, who was just as tall as he was.

"Second brother, so you aren't dead! That's wonderful! Fourth brother and I thought you had died!" Seeing that Marcus was still alive, a joyful smile spread across Mars's face. He rushed towards Marcus and hugged him tightly.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Let me go!" Marcus struggled to push Mars away, looking at him with a confused expression.

"I'm here to avenge you and our third brother! You don't know, but our third brother has died at the hands of Wei He. I'm going to avenge him, storm into the city, and tear Wei He to pieces!" Mars clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with intense killing intent as he spoke viciously.

"Big brother, calm down. Don't be impulsive. This is clearly a conspiracy by the First Prince; we can't fall for it. Besides, our third brother isn't dead yet. He was saved by Wei He and might return tomorrow!" Marcus said slowly. What he said was both the truth and what Wei He had ordered him to say.

"Second brother, you are simple-minded and have been deceived by that villain Wei He. Our third brother's heart was pierced by his demon blade. I have heard of that qingxia demon blade long ago. Not only is it indestructible and incredibly sharp, but the most crucial part is that anyone wounded by this demon blade, even with just a small cut, will undoubtedly die. That is why it is called a demon blade. Even if our third brother hadn't been struck in the heart, he wouldn't have survived!" Mars gritted his teeth, the sound clicking as he forced back his anger, explaining to Marcus word by word.

Marcus wanted to say something more, but Mars didn't want to listen anymore. He turned and headed towards the city tower again.

Receiving Wei He's order, Marcus attacked Mars directly, landing a punch on Mars's back. Mars let out a muffled grunt and turned around, looking at Marcus in surprise.

His eyes stared fixedly at Marcus, filled with disbelief. Before he could even ask why Marcus was doing this, Marcus's fists rained down on his face like a storm.

"Have you gone mad? Marcus, what are you doing? Stop it! You're actually attacking your big brother?" Mars punched Marcus to the ground. The difference in strength was so obvious; Marcus had hit Mars many times, and Mars was fine, but after just one punch from Mars, Marcus was already down and unable to get up.

"Oh my, he's too weak! It would be great if I could control Mars too!" Watching the powerful Mars, Wei He couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his talent.

"He's about to break in, I'm afraid you won't have that chance. If his army breaks in, it will be like ants devouring an elephant. No matter how much meat or how hard the bones you have, it won't be enough for the ants to gnaw on!" Tang Xiaowei sat with Wei He in the anti-air tracked vehicle, quietly watching everything happening on the screen.

"Then I cannot let him live. Such a great talent, it's truly a pity!" Wei He sighed regretfully, resting his hand on his forehead with a heartbroken expression, as if he were making a very difficult decision.
