Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler - Chapter 397: The Cruelty of War (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Finally, Long Xiaoyuan stood up. “I plan to use Huhe Huangcheng to lure those people over. If they come one by one, we will break them one by one. If they come in a group, we will catch them all in one go. As long as there is no problem with your drug, we are able to seal the room like an iron bucket.”

Liu Suifeng couldn’t help but say, “Cunning.”

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. “How can you say that? This is called strategy, understand? How could you say I’m cunning?”

Liu Suifeng pouted and left, ignoring him.

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t stay any longer, leaving the dining room leisurely.

Someone would come to clean up the table later. He didn’t have to worry about that…

Two days later, the war started as expected.

Long Xiaoyuan had a lounge chair moved into his room, and he lay on it, listening to the updates on the war.

After the army set out, they started to wipe out the spies in the military camp.

None of the spies from the Northern Kingdom were chosen to go with the army for various reasons, so they were all left behind.

After the army set out, all of the spies were captured.

The low-level spies were killed straight away.

The several top-level spies were held captive by Ouyang Chuan, and he intended to hand them over to Liu Suifeng, who would make them give useful information.

A Shadow Guardian reported that Ouyang Chuan would arrive with the spies in thirty minutes, and Long Xiaoyuan waited patiently.

“Knock them out when they arrive and keep them captive.”

“Yes,” The Shadow Guardian took the order.

The general’s mansion was no longer peaceful, just as he told Liu Suifeng two days ago.

After the army set out, those people would make a move here!!

However, none of them could make it to Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan’s yard was heavily guarded. No bird would fly in without being shot into pieces!

However, Huhe Huangcheng was not here.

This was just where Long Xiaoyuan stayed.

To some extent, Long Xiaoyuan used himself as bait to lure those people to come.

On this day, from morning to night, more than ten people had arrived.

These people, whether they were experts or not, had now become ghosts.

Long Xiaoyuan showed no mercy to these people.

Late at night, Long Xiaoyuan, who had been sitting outside for a whole day, finally returned to his room…and went to sleep.

On this night, five top experts sneaked in the general’s mansion together.

They were much more capable than the previous ones. At least, they didn’t come to Long Xiaoyuan’s yard to have a tough fight, and they sneaked in instead.

They managed to find the room where Huhe Huangcheng was.

However, Huhe Huangcheng was unconscious and had no idea that someone had come to rescue him!

The first top expert successfully made it to the door, but when he touched the door with his hand, his entire hand started to burn.

He immediately knew that he was poisoned, seriously poisoned!

He was decisive, immediately cutting off his injured arm with a dagger and intending to break in to bring Huhe Huangcheng out.

However, the poison was very powerful. Although he had cut off his entire arm, the poison spread to his other parts.

Suddenly, he felt paralyzed.

He tried to resist with his deep inner power, but it didn’t work.

He fell to the ground.

The second top expert arrived soon after that, and the others came as well after the first expert made the secret signal after he found Huhe Huangcheng. The second expert knew that the door was poisonous, so he didn’t dare to go through the door, and he attempted to go through the window. He wrapped himself in a black robe, intending to crash straight into it.

Normally, the clothes should be able to protect him from the poison, and he should be fine.

However, imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

The man wrapped in clothes actually knocked the window open. However, when he got in the room, he couldn’t move anymore.

The numbness instantly swept over his body and he collapsed before he could say a word.

Looking at the man on the floor in the room, the third expert gritted his teeth. “The window is no longer there. I’ll go.”

He flew in without touching the window at all.

His target was the big bed because they could see Huhe Huangcheng lying there!

Just as his hand was about to touch Huhe Huangcheng, a sword suddenly flashed across the opposite side.

If he continued what he was doing, he would lose his hand, so he instinctively dodged.

Liu Suifeng appeared and said lightly, “You can’t take him away.”

The expert shouted, “Who are you?”

Liu Suifeng didn’t answer at all, shaking his head.

At this moment, the other two experts came in.

They thought that two of them could attack Liu Suifeng, and the third one could take Huhe Huangcheng away.

Thus, two experts immediately attacked Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng did not hesitate and fought back. The three of them engaged in the fight.

The remaining expert hurriedly went to take Huhe Huangcheng away, but when his hand touched Huhe Huangcheng, he suddenly screamed!

The scream scared his two companions who were fighting with Liu Suifeng.

The next moment, they saw a shocking scene.

The hand of the expert who touched Huhe Huangcheng melted away!

“What kind of wizard are you?” One of the experts shouted, obviously afraid of Liu Suifeng’s evil methods.

Liu Suifeng said lightly, “Wizard? I don’t dare to say that. Northern Barbarians can come up with the poison and harm the people. I am just beating you at your own game. What? Are you surprised?”

The two experts were frightened. At this moment, the person who touched Huhe Huangcheng had already died. Only the two of them were left.

They exchanged a glance, gritting their teeth and attacking Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng looked indifferent, but his movements were fast and killing.

After a few rounds, several Shadow Guardians came in. They had taken the antidote before they entered, so the poison in the room had no effect on them.

The two remaining experts sensed there was something wrong with the room after they fought for a short while as they found it difficult to use their internal power.

It was difficult for them to deal with Liu Suifeng. Now that the Shadow Guardians had come, there was no chance of winning.

Thus, the two experts exchanged a glance, thinking of escaping.

However, how could they escape as they liked after they entered this room?

During the day and night, all the people came to rescue Huhe Huangcheng, no matter how many of them, died.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Darkness suffered heavy casualties.
