Chapter 1377: Chapter 1370: Conquering Big South East Peace

The general by now had knelt on the ground due to severe pain, his head deeply bowed against the ground. Feng quickly approached him and stepped on his head. She then slightly adjusted the long knife in her hand and directly stabbed it into the back of the general’s neck.

The moment the knife penetrated, the general’s body violently trembled, and his posture completely changed. Subsequently, his entire body spasmed, stretching his arms and legs straight like someone having a cramp, and silently lost all signs of life.

Having dealt with this general, Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the mansion should no longer have anyone capable of restraining her. Just now, she had been too eager for victory and had not deliberately sorted out these people, almost letting the general gain the upper hand.

With the battle against the general ended, the entire conflict had essentially come to a conclusion. Nearly all the commanders inside the mansion had been taken care of by her during the fight. Unfortunately, she had not found the corpse of the commander named Xuan, and she was unable to avenge the betrayal, which left her feeling quite uncomfortable.

In the city, the noise of battle grew louder, with dense gunfire and booming cannon sounds rising and falling continuously. Facing the absolute firepower superiority of the Demon Clan army, Dongsheng’s forces had almost no room to resist.

Soon the city wall was breached, and the Demon Clan army outside officially entered the city, engaging in street battles with the Dongsheng forces. However, by this stage of the battle, the Dongsheng forces had already lost their will to resist; even in street fighting, they were no match for the Demon Clan soldiers, not even able to compete in bayonet fighting.

At dawn, the sun finally rose above the horizon, and Cheng Ziang and his two companions were dozing off on the street side. They lay on a simple straw mat, with Cheng Ziang sitting against a pillar, dozing off. Feng lay on the mat, using his thigh as a pillow, covered with a garment, holding her knife as she slept soundly.

"Old Cheng, lend me your lap so I can take a nap," Hu Daoke yawned heavily before slowly lying down.

"Isn’t that disgusting?" Cheng Ziang asked, with a look of disgust, but he didn’t stop him, allowing him to lie on his thigh.

"Not disgusting; your thigh is comfortable. We know each other well, and it’s not like I haven’t seen your ’cannon’ before," Hu Daoke said sleepily, his words muffled.

"You’re the ’cannon’..." Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes and inadvertently glanced at Feng. Seeing her asleep, he felt more at ease.

The street was busy with soldiers coming and going, with the Demon Clan army sweeping the battlegrounds as they entered the city, paying little attention to these three heroes of the conquest of Big South East Peace.

Soon after, the Du Du of the Demon Clan army, Yunji, hurried into the city with a group of soldiers, seemingly looking for something. When she saw the three tired people, her worries seemed to fade a lot, and she hurried over to pay them respects, saying, "Thank you for your efforts, gentlemen."

"You’re too kind," Cheng Ziang replied weakly, gesturing with his hand and showing a weary smile.

"If not for the three divine generals, Big South East Peace would not have been achievable," Yunji stated.

"Don’t say that; your Demon Clan people were the main force. We just came to go through the motions," Cheng Ziang said with a smile, shrugging his shoulders.

He really was being polite, because to some extent, the three of them had played a decisive role in the battle. Feng alone had disrupted the command system of the Dongsheng defenders, causing the city’s defenders to fight individually and be defeated one by one.

Imagine if they had not disrupted Dongsheng’s command system, the entering Demon Clan army would have faced organized attacks. Although not likely to be defeated, their losses would have been far greater. Thus, logically and realistically, Yunji owed a great thanks to these three guests from the Western Continent.

"The three of you have made great contributions. Please, let me show you to a comfortable place to rest," Yunji earnestly suggested.

"Oh, no need to be so polite; you can attend to your duties. If we need to rest, we’ll find a place ourselves," Cheng Ziang waved his hand, declining her kind offer.

"Alright," Yunji nodded slightly then continued, "Please don’t be shy, gentlemen. If you need any help, just let us know."

After finishing, she left a squad of soldiers specifically to stand guard and watch over the three individuals, then hurriedly left with the remaining people. Looking at these few door gods, Cheng Ziang was momentarily speechless, eventually unable to restrain a laugh.

He lowered his head and gently brushed away the messy strands of hair on Feng’s forehead, looking at her fair, petite face, an indescribable throb arose within his heart.

Was it a heartbeat? No, Cheng Ziang felt it was more a sense of affirmation, a girl so powerful, yet depending as a child on him, this gave him an immense sense of satisfaction.

It seemed that Luo’er’s concern and care were overly meticulous, making Feng’s dependency on others increasingly severe. Cheng Ziang vaguely remembered their first encounter with Feng, when she was a taciturn but strong hunter.

At the prophet’s place, her dependency wasn’t sufficiently met. Seeing her future, the prophet subjected her to rigorous daily training, also slowly eroding the needs originally in her heart.

After meeting Luo’er, especially since becoming a member of the Advance Team, Luo’er and Tangmo’s meticulous care and attention allowed the originally suppressed needs in her heart to explosively release. Feng began to depend on others more and more.

Every member of the Advance Team became an object of her reliance, especially Tangmo, the guardian, and Luo’er, whom she considered her true destined partner.

Thus, whenever Luo’er issued orders, Feng never questioned the reasons but would strive to complete them, even if it meant killing someone, she wouldn’t even blink an eye. For she feared contradicting Luo’er, losing the attention and consolation she received from him.

Feng possessed a realm of spiritual awareness, mostly keeping it open to monitor the surroundings, always ensuring safety. But only within the team, with everyone’s protection, she would choose to turn off her spiritual awareness, truly relaxing.

Soon, Feng stretched, yawned adorably. Immediately upon opening her eyes, she saw Cheng Ziang above her, then blinked and said, "I’ll keep watch, you go to sleep."

"Oh no need," Cheng Ziang waved his hand, pointed forward, and said, "Someone else is helping keep watch, just sleep peacefully."

After speaking, he leaned against the pillar, dozily closed his eyes. Seeing his serene appearance, Feng took a deep breath, then changed her position and continued sleeping.

In the battle in Big South East Peace, the Demon Clan’s army almost didn’t suffer any losses, annihilating these several thousand Dongsheng defenders and capturing this large city. Moreover, their victories were not limited to this, over a hundred thousand Kyushu citizens who had been driven here to develop West Outer Heaven all fell into the possessions of the Demon Clan’s army.

It must be said, these Kyushu riflemen were truly strong, firing a shot in battle and then advancing to engage with bayonets, emphasizing "seeing red" with the bayonet. The Dongsheng defenders, also being Kyushu citizens, nearly none could withstand the charge of these riflemen, and close-quarter combat would see them defeated.

After entering the city, these riflemen also started to wreak havoc, looting and plundering everywhere, not treating the city’s residents as their own people at all. Fortunately, the Demon Clan’s army intervened in time, thus avoiding greater losses.

Now, the Demon Clan was severely weakened and needed to absorb fresh blood from these Kyushu citizens. Therefore, the highest authority, Linglan, issued a strict order: those who disturbed the citizens after breaking the city should be executed. This policy was also proposed under the advice of Luo’er and others, claiming to compensate for the losses of the Demon Clan’s people, but in fact, it was to alleviate the harm to civilians in war.

These citizens from modern nations held a high moral stance on war. The practices from the feudal era of ravaging like combing and charging like a rake were viewed as utterly atrocious in their eyes.

Luo’er actively involved himself in the Demon Clan’s decision-making and served as a consultant, not only for revenge but also largely to reform the traditional notions of the Demon Clan’s army and abandon these outdated and cruel traditions.

For those riflemen who looted and plundered, Yunji showed no mercy, executing them publicly in front of the soldiers as a warning to others.

She was well aware that there were only so many riflemen and executing some meant losing some. But she was more aware that as long as they could please the Kyushu citizens in the city, they really wouldn’t worry about military personnel.

Moreover, the most important point was that this type of infantry, the riflemen, was the easiest to train. Even if some were lost, they could be replenished immediately, there really wasn’t a concern about lacking soldiers.
