Battle Royale of the Sinners

Chapter 336

Chapter 336 - Changes at Southern Front

While Tong, Khan, Yuan Shao, and others fought in Luo Yang's territory, another battlefront was still ongoing .

Sun Jian Army, Liu Biao Army, and Yuan Shu Army got stuck at Wu Gate .

This Wu Gate located at the southwest of Luo Yang . It blockaded the main road from Wan City to Hongnong City, and it was also a strategic chokepoint for Hongnong defenders .

The Xiongnu army, led by Pang De, Ma Teng, Li Ru, and Liu Yang, garrisoned at Wu Gate . The number of their soldiers were 200,000 men!

This number alone almost made the coalition forces choked blood as they only had 110,000 soldiers .

The coalition forces occupied Li County, which situated west of Wan City and east of Wu Gate . They could not form an assault plan yet as they were waiting for provision and weaponry supplies from the coalition founder, Tong .

The waiting came to an end when Hua Shi, who disguised as a eunuch, visited the coalition camp to deliver the supplies .

.

= Li County, Coalition Main Tent =

A girly looking eunuch bowed to Yuan Shu, "I have come here to fulfill the promise of our lord . We've brought provision and weaponry from the north here to support you . "

Yuan Shu nodded, "Excellent! Tell your lord that we will also fulfill our promise! Those Xiongnu mongrels will pay the price for invading our country!"

"Then, I shall withdraw myself . I pray for your glorious victory . "

"Of course! We shall trample them under our feet!"

Hua Shi exited the tent without hesitation . As she had read the clan chat and aware of the general situation, she had to leave here as soon as possible . She did not even bother glancing at the participants of the meeting here .

On the other hand, Sun Jian, Sun Fang, Li Jing, Liu Biao, Huang Zu, and Huang Zhong inspected this girly eunuch from head to toes .

Liu Biao did not detect anything wrong coming from this eunuch, but Huang Zu, Huang Zhong, and Sun Jian could sense the smell of blood and a trace of combat aura from this disguised person .

Huang Zu nodded, 'Not bad . This eunuch can actually kill . '

Sun Jian frowned, 'Using an assassin as a messenger, how bold . '

Huang Zhong grinned, 'An archer eunuch? That's a good taste!'

While the elites were admiring Hua Shi, Li Jing whispered to Sun Fang, "Fang, I can sense the angelic power from that eunuch . "

The frowning Sun Fang nodded, "Me, too . "

Khan, Tong, Pu Jing, and Hua Shi were not the only otherworlders with wing power . After a period of recuperation and a break from warfare, Sun Fang cultivated enough lifespans and freed Li Jing from the reincarnator killing quest .

By freeing Li Jing from the shackle, Lilim also told them about the wing powers and extorted bribery from them . Like others, Sun Fang spent 300,000 lifespans on buying the angel cultivation technique and details from Lilim for himself and Li Jing .

Now, each of them had one virtue awakened, and they could vaguely sense another power holder .

Sun Fang gazed at the number of otherworlders, it had changed .

From 12 survivors, it reduced to eleven!

"Something must have happened on the other frontline . One of the reincarnators died . "

Li Jing's eyes gleamed with blight light . As someone else did the work for them, she could not be any happier .

"I hope Zhang Tong dies, but that might be a silly dream . Had he died, that eunuch just now wouldn't have had been here . "

"Do you think he's one of Zhang Tong's ally otherworlders?"

"We have the names of most otherworlders . Zhang Tong's allies are Li Feihong, Te Langpu, Xiao Wu, and Hua Shi . Since that eunuch looks somewhat girlish, the only one that can disguise as that eunuch must be a girl, so that person is either Xiao Wu or Hua Shi . "

Sun Fang nodded . He immediately typed into the clan chat to inform his father and everyone else .

Sun Fang: "One of Zhang Tong is disguising as that eunuch just now . Please arrange someone to kill her . "

Sun Jian: "No, we shall not betray Zhang Tong . "

Sun Fang: "Father, he will be our enemies!"

Sun Jian: "My order is final . As I said before, leave our policies to me . Don't meddle with the adult's affair! Besides, Zhang Tong is fighting for the sake of our country while you are plotting to backstab our compatriots! Are you even ashamed of yourself!?"

Sun Fang bit his lower lips . Sun Jian was upright and righteous as he was described in the historical texts . Because Sun Jian valued duties and the Han Dynasty more than anything else, he did not care about the hegemony or how he could become a king of a country .

Li Jing sighed . In her mind, she started to regret choosing the Sun Clan as their main forces to fight the others .

Without a choice, Li Jing whispered to Sun Fang, "We might have to let your father die . "

"What!? But he's my father!"

"As long as he lives, the Sun Clan will be someone else's subordinates . Sun Ce and Sun Quan will never rise, and the Wu Dynasty will not exist!"

"Ugh . "

Sun Fang did not like this . Although he was never shy away from committing a crime, he was not so low to the point that he could murder his foster father .

"I'm not Lu Bu, Jing'er . I can't kill my father . "

"I'm not telling you to kill him . I said we should let him die naturally by Huang Zu and Liu Biao . "

"Still, it's the same . "

"It's not . We're following the trend of the historical timeline . We won't interfere with it . "

"…"

While both of them conversed in secret, Yuan Shu invited in more dancers and entertainers, converting the war-meeting into a banquet .

Huang Zhong, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, and non-Yuan Shu's subordinates disgusted Yuan Shu's behavior . They excused themselves from the party and returned to their camps .

Sun Fang and Li Jing also left with the rest .

.

= Three Hours Later =

While Yuan Shu was enjoying food, wine, and women in the banquet, an emissary party from Xiongnu Army arrived, asking to meet the leader of this coalition force .

This messenger group consisted of only three people, two bodyguards, and a little girl . They were Lu Bu's clones and Liu Yang .

"We're messengers from the Great Khan and Xiongnu Tribes . Please let us meet with your leader! We've come in peace!"

Because Sun Jian and Liu Biao left the main camp of Yuan Shu, they were not aware of this messenger group .

Yuan Shu invited them into his personal banquet and entertained them . Although he noticed that the other party was a little girl and two bodyguards, Yuan Shu did not look down on Liu Yang .

As a veteran politician of the Yuan Clan, his diplomatic skills were not even lower than Yuan Shao .

"Welcome . What can I do for the young lady and these two brave soldiers?"

Looking around and finding no one else other than Yuan Shu, Liu Yang smiled in delight . Without the strong-willed Sun Jian and the successor of Liu Clan, her task would be a lot easier .

"We wish to form a truce with Lord Yuan Shu . This war between us is a misunderstanding . Our goal is not about conquering this country, but we're trying to eliminate our nemesis, Zhang Tong and his clan . As we fought with Zhang Tong, many people had been dragged into our war, so we've come here to apologize and reestablish our friendly relationship . "

"Oh?"

This was not a favorable deal for Yuan Shu .

Although his territories had nothing to do with Tong, he always treated Tong as a potential ally, a hirable knife .

As Yuan Shu did not like how his elder brother, Yuan Shao, inherited the main branch of the Yuan Clan, there was not a day that this warlord did not plan to kill his brother .

Like the old saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my ally," Yuan Shu planned to befriend Tong, so he could use Tong to eliminate Yuan Shao out of the picture .

Now, someone came here, coaxing him into ruining his master plan . Yuan Shu did not like it, and his thought appeared on his face .

The deep frown and grumping mouth confessed Yuan Shu's answer . Although Liu Yang noticed that, her smiling face did not change .

Liu Yang sneered, "I see that you're unwilling to betray your friend . Fear not, Lord Yuan Shu, we've come with a bargain, and it well worth your time . "

Liu Yang gestured, and her bodyguard brought out a cloth bundle forward . Liu Yang took it and untied the cloth, revealing what inside was .

It was the Imperial Seal!

"This is the Imperial Seal of your country . We picked it up when after we killed the tyrant Dong Zhuo for you . Like a good neighbor, we wish to return this … Seal of the Emperors . . . to the rightful successor . "

The words of Liu Yang contained many hints, and Yuan Shu understood it .

The eyes of Yuan Shu flared with greed and desire . When he realized that it was the real seal of the emperors, he could not get his eyes off it .

"I see . I see! I SEE! Well done, our good neighbor! I understand your intention completely! Well, this is very nice of you for returning this to this humble successor of the seal . I shall see the restoration of our cooperation and the new era of peace . "

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Yuan . Unfortunately, we also need your help . "

"What is it? If it's something I can do, we'll be glad to help!"

Liu Yang smirked as everything went according to her plans, "Have you ever heard about [Evil Immortals]?"

The smile of Yuan Shu froze . At this moment, any warlord would be considered a fool had they not learned about the existence of the absurd beings, the immortals .

Zhang Tong's rapid growing and his battle prowess had been the talk of the town in many counties in the central plain . All merchants praised Tong's cities as gold mines for resources while many scholars kept coming back to migrate their families into Tong's territory .

Sun Fang's ability to fly and Li Jing's wisdom was also a part of the rumors . There were still gossips about the Goddess of Death from ages back and how Liu Ping died by Xiao Wu's unrivaled spearmanship .

Most of the rumors centered within Tong's forces, which threatened all hegemony pursuers .

"I heard of them . Is this about Zhang Tong again?"

"No, it's not just Zhang Tong that we want dead . Two individuals within Sun Jian Army threatens our peace talk . "

"Cut the façade and get straight to the point! Who do you want dead?"

"Sun Fang and Li Jing . Sun Fang is Sun Jian's adopted son, and Li Jing is Sun Fang's wife . We want these two dead . "

"They are immortals . Just the Imperial Seal won't be enough to compensate for our loss . "

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that . "

Liu Yang took out a scroll and gave it to Yuan Shu . It was a map around Wu Gate's territory, but there was a mark on it .

"Send Sun Jian forces to that location, we'll help you . "

A smile finally appeared on Yuan Shu's face, "Now, we're talking . Well, since it comes to this, how about we talk about our cooperation for the future . "

"Come to think of it, you don't seem surprised that a diplomat from Xiongnu is a little girl like me?"

"Humph! I'm not a fool . You smell like an immortal like Zhang Tong . If a normal girl talks to me like this, I would have turned her into my chambermaid!"

"Hahaha! True . Well, a toast to our future, Your Majesty!"

"HAHAHA! That sounds very nice . I like it . "

The two continued their cooperation talk all night with all the guards and Yuan Shu's subordinates around .

All of them stared at Liu Yang and Yuan Shu, speechless .
