52: Chapter 39, Born to be General Material!

Bian Feng died, the Copper Coin Assassin died.

The Flame Army, when commanded as a unit, was able to organize a resistance.

A salvo would send even Phoenix wary of taking risks.

Once Phoenix swiftly dispersed their organized ranks, the Flame Army members turned into mere gunmen.

With a whip, Phoenix thrashed one, then a group—with savage satisfaction.

The members of the Plunderer Organization were the first to realize the dire situation.

They were ruthless in killing and swift in fleeing.

Seeing Tang Fei kill Bian Feng and the Flame Army suffering heavy casualties, they immediately thought of escaping the battlefield.

“Run, run, the Flame Army is done for, the White Robe is dead….”

“Brothers, retreat, don’t sacrifice yourselves here….”

“Brothers of the Fierce Tiger Association, follow me into the mountains…”

——

Their cries caused the Grey Robes, who already lacked resistance, to flee as well.

While Bian Feng and the Flame Army were alive, they dared not run, fearing the Flame Shrine’s reckoning would be worse than death.

Now that Bian Feng and the Flame Army were finished, they naturally wanted to save their skins.

“Not one of you will escape,” Tang Fei roared fiercely.

The teacher had died, so many innocents had died.

Each person was a murderer.

Tang Fei, leading upfront, grasping the Dog Leg Knife, initiated the slaughter.

Little Fatty, seeing Tang Fei as his role model, pursued the thought that no one should escape, ready to chase them to the ends of the earth.

In moments, the situation turned completely one-sided.

Originally, the Flame Shrine’s approach was overwhelming, shielded by Bian Feng and the Copper Coin Assassin, the high-level cultivators, backed by a fully armed Flame Army, alongside hundreds of Grey Robes and thousands from the Predator Organization.

They had nearly filled and trampled the village.

No one had expected their defeat to be so swift and brutal.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Killing until the sky darkened, the ground sodden with rivers of blood.

Phoenix and the old man also heard Tang Fei’s desperate howl of “Not one of you will escape.” The old man naturally would not say much; since the young one said no one should escape, let everyone stay behind for the burial.

Phoenix’s education advocated “peace as precious” and “no killing of captives,” but the calamity had arisen because of her, people came because of her.

When she saw Bian Feng order the Flame Army to shoot the unarmed civilians, a firm thought settled in her: These were not people but beasts, animals.

If they were beasts and animals, then they should all be wiped out.

Nothing healed more than killing, nothing warmer than blood.

Tang Fei was injured, and she, too, needed healing.

In such a world, kindness and generosity were unlivable.

kindness to the kind, and be harsher toward the malevolent.

No one knew how long they had killed for, until Tang Fei’s freshly sharpened Dog Leg Knife was dulled from use.

Not until Little Fatty smashed the last skull did the battle finally declare its conclusion.

Bian Feng died, the Copper Coin Assassin died.

The entire Flame Army was annihilated, not a single Grey Robe was spared.

Bodies piled up on roadsides, hillsides, and in the woods…

Branches and tops of walls were laden with severed limbs.

Tang Fei, drenched in blood, his face nearly stained red with blood, stood amongst a pile of corpses like the Death God descending.

The villagers, whom they had managed to save, stood gaping in shock, faces deathly pale.

Others were vomiting violently…

They had hunted, perhaps killed, but they had never witnessed such a gruesome scene.

Is this Hell?

If this isn’t Hell, what is?

Silence!

The scene was dead silent.

Only the howling wind, the sounds of vomiting, and the heart-wrenching cries for lost loved ones could be heard.

The bad die, and so do the good.

“I didn’t die…” Pi Housi crawled out of the mud, touched his head, then his chest, and jumped up joyfully shouting, “Little Fatty, I didn’t die, I didn’t die….”

He had been shot in the shoulder, and the intense pain had knocked him out.

Dazed, he thought he was going to meet King Yan, but unexpectedly, he woke up still a tough guy.

Little Fatty ran over, checked his wound, and said, “You’re fine, you won’t die.”

“I didn’t die either.”

“I’m still alive….”

“Dad…

Mom…”

Tang Fei walked to his teacher, and with a thump, he knelt down.

“Sir…”

Tang Fei’s eyes reddened, his voice choked.

That’s how the teacher always was, always liked to reason with people.

Tang Fei had told him many times, “Sir, you shouldn’t always talk reason because, in this world, everyone lives unreasonably.”

The teacher wouldn’t listen and said, “Aren’t you yourself quite reasonable?”

Tang Fei replied, “I only talk reason with good people; I don’t bother with bad ones.”

The teacher then laughed, saying, “That’s the real essence of being human.”

“Sir, I hope you’ve gone to a place where people are willing to listen and reason.”

“Big brother…” The teacher’s younger son, Huang Youan, crawled out from a pile of corpses, his eyes moist as he looked at Tang Fei and said, “Big Brother, my dad’s gone…

my brother too…”

During the first volley of gunfire, his elder brother had thrown himself on top of him to protect him, using his body to shield him from the bullets.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Tang Fei stepped forward and embraced Huang Youan, “From now on, you’ll live with us.”

Huang Youan was soft-hearted and not quick on his feet, making it difficult for him to bring back any game from the mountains…

Since his brother, Huang Yousheng, had injured his leg, their family had fallen on hard times, barely making ends meet from meal to meal.

If not for Tang Fei’s continual aid, they probably would have starved long ago.

Now with the teacher gone and Huang Yousheng gone too, it would be tough for Huang Youan alone in the Old Land.

It wasn’t just Huang Youan who had a hard time living; there were many other elderly, disabled, and widows and orphans.

They had stood up for Tang Fei, so he owed them an explanation.

The responsibility was great and the journey long!

Now was not the time for sorrow.

Tang Fei stood up and called out loudly, “Neighbors, fellow villagers, the Flame Shrine is gone, the predators of the Henshan Region are gone, our good days are coming…”

To save people, you must first save their hearts.

You have to give them hope, something to look forward to.

You have to let them know that, though we’ve gone through hardships and paid a heavy price, we’ve also gained tremendously.

Sure enough, upon hearing Tang Fei’s words, those who looked lost or filled with despair showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Yes, after this war, with the Flame Shrine gone and those damned Predator Organizations wiped out, the two big mountains pressing down on them were suddenly removed by Tang Fei…

“Is the Flame Shrine really gone?

No more collecting protection money from us?”

“God, the Predator Organization is gone too, no one will rob our grains anymore…

no one will hide in the mountains to kill indiscriminately…”

“My son was buried by them while hunting…

Those damn beasts, well killed, they deserved to be cut a thousand times…”

——

Seeing the villagers who had escaped death regain some vitality, Tang Fei again raised his voice, “Now, we have three things to do.

First, we need to bury our own family members.

Let them rest in peace with dignity, don’t you agree?”

The second step is to set goals, solve problems.

The key is to unite people’s hearts, twist everyone into a single rope, focusing all efforts on solving problems, the more people, the faster the resolution.

“Yes,” everyone responded.

Returning to the roots, resting in peace, this belief is deeply rooted in everyone’s heart.

They believe in souls and the afterlife, only by building them a good “house” can they rest comfortably below.

“This task…” Tang Fei looked around and spoke, “Huang Youan, you lead all the women in the village to accomplish this.

Do you have confidence?”

“I do, I do.

I promise to complete the task,” Huang Youan, not expecting Tang Fei to assign him a task, quickly promised.

“The second task is to deal with the bodies of the Flame Army and those in Grey Robes,” Tang Fei’s gaze was cold, his tone harsh, “What did those in White Robes say before the battle?”

“They said, one person is roasted, a group is also roasted…” someone replied.

Indeed, everyone remembered grievances.

Whenever there’s an opportunity, they release their hatred.

“Good, if he wants to roast us, we’ll roast them too,” Tang Fei spoke, “Dig a big pit, pile all their bodies in, then set fire…

Make the pit bigger, the fire fiercer.”

He looked around and said, “Little Fatty, you lead people to handle this.”

“Big brother, don’t worry, it’ll definitely smell delicious,” Little Fatty, his face and body smeared with fresh blood, grinned foolishly.

Due to his excessive whiteness and chubbiness, the blood smeared on his face and body seemed even more striking.

Tang Fei felt a bit uneasy inside, this glutton…

He really must keep himself under control.

“The third task is the issue of food,” Tang Fei said, “The Flame Army is gone, the Flame Shrine has suffered heavy losses, the Predator Organization is gone…

Their bases must be storing a lot of food and wealth, so we need to find their hideouts and move all their food and wealth back…”

“I promise everyone here, no matter how much food, how much wealth we bring back…

every household will get their share, divided equally according to the number of people in each household…”

“If anyone shows remarkable merit, or actively reports the Predator Organization’s hideout…

there will be substantial rewards…”

——-

The old man, seeing Tang Fei passionately speaking among the crowd, organizing all tasks in an orderly manner, very uncouthly spat on the ground and said, “This young man, he’s naturally cut out to be a General.”

“(๑•.•๑!)”

Phoenix looked over, surprised, suspecting that the old man knew her own dreams and wishes.

She wanted to be a General, a War God of the Phoenix Empire.
